Portugal 2 Wales 0: History boyos' dream ends as Portugal ease into Euro 2016 final
WELSH hopes and dreams were shattered in the space of 180 seconds in the Euro 2016 semi-final against Portugal.
Two quick goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani left Chris Coleman's side praying for a miracle with more than half an hour to go.
Sadly, Wales were left with too much to do and the match meandered to the end.
Throughout the tournament in France, though, the underdogs have been heroic.
And despite losing to arch-rivals England in Lens – thanks to a last minute goal – Wales have surpassed many people's expectations winning every other match.
For Wales to have reached the semi-finals is incredible. Far in excess of anything anyone could have imagined. Proud of them. #WAL #WALPOR— Dave Jones (@WelshGasDoc) July 6, 2016
Feeling slightly deflated after all that hype for that match ⚽ #WALPOR— Lottie (@char_beyy) July 6, 2016
Very proud of my little country, achieved far more than anyone ever expected! #WALPOR— Samuel Redmayne (@SamNVF) July 6, 2016
Be proud Wales. You did well. You showed that Team is above individual. Showing many others the way forward. Been a joy. #WALPOR— Fine Whines (@john_hammond_) July 6, 2016
We're going home but we did better than England and that's all that really matters #WALPOR— unknown error (@CosN0) July 6, 2016
What a campaign its been. No one thought we'd make it this far & we've proved them all wrong. So proud of these lads! Cymru am byth #WALPOR— Mike Roach (@_mikeroach) July 6, 2016
It is understood the Welsh will welcome the players back with a celebration at the Cardiff City Stadium on Friday where Manic Street Preachers.
The dad of the late Gary Speed – Roger – travelled to Lyon to watch the Dragons in action tonight. He was mobbed by fans in the city before kick off.
Rhys Appleby, 29, from Cwmbran, said: "We didn't think we'd qualify and we got to the semi-final and we won the group.
"Whatever happened after that didn't matter.
"Wales got to the semi-finals of a European Championship. We lost to Portugal, they could go on and win it. We're just having fun."
Scott Bendle, 47, from Swansea, said: "We never turned up tonight. That's the frustrating part. We know on our day we can play and we really fancied our chances tonight.
"We missed Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies and that was the difference. It's our first time, Portugal are expected to do this all the time.
"We'll be seeing more of these boys, I'll tell you."
Josh Cusack, 19, from Mountain Ash, said: "I'm gutted but I'm grateful at the same time. You wouldn't have expected us to make the group stages so to come this far is great.
"May the best team win in the final and win the Euros.
"I'm just gutted we're out now. It was never expected of us to get this far so congratulations to us and we'll wait and see what happens next."
Many of the players have become overnight heroes thanks to their performances in France.
Hal Robson-Kanu scored arguably the goal of the tournament against Belgium in the quarter-finals when he sent two defenders the wrong way to shoot past the keeper.
Gareth Bale has led the team with strong performances while Swansea's Ashley Williams defied a serious shoulder injury to play against Belgium and Portugal.
Dragons fan Greg Davies, from Cardiff, got a tattoo of the jobless striker Robson Kanu on his leg following the historic result against Belgium.
Welsh fans have travelled to the Euros in their thousands – despite severe travel delays by air or at the Eurotunnel.
If Portugal lose in the final we could see a Ronaldo meltdown – like at Euro 2004 when the hosts lost to Greece.

Dubai, Oct 5 (UNI) The conflict between Islam and the existing political order has never been so intense as it has been over the past few decades, Lebanese scholar Radwan Al Sayed said.
The Muslim community required religious reform to overcome the crisis in ties between religion and the state and between religion and society, Dr Al Sayed said at the majlis of General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
''The political Islam movements, which emerged in the 1950s, revolted against Westernisation or modernisation and now globalisation. They also revolted against the traditional Islamic establishment, '' the Gulf News quoted him as saying.
The revolution against the West and the traditional religious establishment had led to the emergence of the Muslim Brotherhood and ''Hakimiya'' or the Islamic concept of sovereignty, which meant the establishment of an Islamic state as a prerequisite for maintaining Islam, he further said.
Analysing the current situation of the main political Islam groups, he argued that there was a conflict over the representation of Islam which had been divided on three fronts.
''There is conflict within Islam itself between the conservatives (generally represented by the religious establishment), the revivalists (who advocate violence as a way of changing the status quo) and the neo-reformists, who work on a new project addressing the role of religion in political order,'' the professor said.
''A second front has been opened between the State and these groups as to who should have the power to represent Islam and how. And the third dimension to the conflict is the West's intervention in these internal debates about reform and its attempt to impose its own Islam, '' he added.
A strong adviser of reforms in the Muslim community, Dr Al Sayed felt that an Islamic State could not be the solution for such crisis, because such solution was based on a false premise that Islam was absent, and had to be revived in our social and political universe.
Accusing all parties for the crisis, he said repression against the Islamic establishment in certain Arab countries under the pretext of setting up a modern state had enticed acts of violence.
''Islamists should shun all forms of violence and the State should respect the religious establishment, which should be modernised to respond to the current challenges,'' he added.

* President Obama to nominate Yellen as Fed chair Wed
* Alcoa rises, Yum falls after earnings
* Futures up: Dow 18 pts, S&P 2.8 pts, Nasdaq 5.75 pts
By Chuck Mikolajczak
NEW YORK, Oct 9 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks were set for a modestly higher open on Wednesday, putting the S&P 500 on track to rebound from a big drop a day earlier, on expectations Janet Yellen will be tapped as the next chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve.
U.S. President Barack Obama will nominate Fed number two Yellen on Wednesday. Investors expect her to tread carefully in winding down economic stimulus, and to provide continuity with the policies established under Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, whose second term is due to expire on Jan. 31.
"The markets are finding consolation in Yellen's expected nomination because that at least puts the monetary policy on a more certain, or at least, a more familiar path," said Anastasia Amoroso, Global Market Strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds in New York.
"It does remove another hurdle, another piece of the puzzle, another piece of uncertainty that the market likes to see resolved."
The S&P 500 dropped 1.2 percent on Tuesday, its worst decline since Aug. 27, sending the benchmark index to its lowest level since Sept. 6 as traders cashed in gains in some of the year's best performers.
In Washington, Obama said he would not hold talks on ways to end the fiscal impasse while under threat from conservative Republicans, but agreed to discuss anything, including his healthcare plan, if they restore government funding and raise the debt limit.
"From a market perspective, obviously the longer the shutdown continues and the more it bleeds into the debt ceiling debate, the more the compelling the reason to sell becomes," said Amoroso.
The crisis in Washington threatens to damage the fiscal standing of the United States and to derail its fragile economic recovery.
S&P 500 futures rose 2.8 points and were above fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures gained 18 points and Nasdaq 100 futures added 5.75 points.
Alcoa Inc climbed 3 percent to $8.18 in premarket trading after the aluminum producer reported better than expected earnings, as strength at the unit that sells auto parts and other complex items helped offset lower metal prices.
Costco Wholesale Corp slipped 1.4 percent before the opening bell after the retailer posted a 1 percent rise in quarterly profit and a 3 percent increase in its same-store sales for the month of September.
Yum! Brands Inc slumped 7 percent to $66.66 in premarket trading after the KFC parent warned it will take longer than expected for restaurant sales to rebound in China, which accounts for more than half the company's overall operating profit.
According to Thomson Reuters data, third-quarter earnings are expected to grow 4.3 percent, and revenue 3 percent.
Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc shares plunged 63.7 percent to $6.23 in premarket trading after the company said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had placed a partial hold on patient enrollment for trials of its cancer drug Iclusig.

On 28 May 2015 the FCA published a speech given by Martin Wheatley, Chief Executive of the FCA, on restoring trust and confidence in banking.
Mr Wheatley focused on the need to address cultural issues in the banking sector, by implementing methods that "reduce incentives for misconduct and increase personal accountability". Though there has been significant attention focused on senior leaders, he commented that middle managers play a "critical, but underplayed" role in restoring trust and confidence in banking. They influence a greater number of colleagues on a day-to-day basis than senior leaders, nevertheless there is a "blind-spot" as they are not subject to the same regulatory "fit and proper" standards as those above or beneath them. "For leaders, this is a problem because accountability structures begin to resemble safety nets with significant holes," said Wheatley. "You might have junior advisory staff in banks approved. Senior commodities traders not."
To address this, the FCA is in the process of replacing the approved persons regime with a new "certification regime". This places a much clearer expectation on firms to uphold standards of fitness and propriety of anyone in a so-called 'significant harm function'. Additionally, the FCA's new set of conduct rules will be applicable to all individuals involved in financial services activity in banks.

Be fire safe this winter
Our thoughts go out to two locals who were injured in fires this past week and we wish them both a speedy recovery.
Rockland firefighter Carl Anderson fell ill while running hose at a house fire on New Year's Day on Old County Road in Rockland. He was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland to be evaluated for smoke inhalation because of the possibility that he inhaled unknown toxic fumes while fighting the fire. He was expected to be released Jan. 3.
On Jan. 3, a Rockport homeowner was critically injured when a fire destroyed his mobile home on Vinal Street at about 3:30 a.m. When firefighters arrived, the homeowner, Bruce Fales, was found outside his burning home in the driveway. Fales was also taken to a Portland hospital for smoke inhalation.
While the exact cause of either of these fires is not yet known, since state Fire Marshal's Office investigators continue to explore the causes of both, nationwide, cooking, heating and electrical malfunctions are the most common causes of residential fires, according to the U.S. Fire Administration. In fact, 32 percent of all residential fires that resulted in injury in 2014 were caused by cooking errors, while a total of 14 percent of injuries were caused by heating and electrical issues.
Cooking brings family and friends together, provides an outlet for creativity and can be relaxing. But cooking fires are the number-one cause of home fires and home injuries and many are the result of leaving cooking vessels unattended on the stove or in the oven.
By following a few of these safety tips, courtesy of the National Fire Protection Association, you can prevent these fires: Stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol, do not use the stove or stovetop. If you are simmering, baking, roasting or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains -- away from your stovetop.
If you have a small (grease) cooking fire and decide to fight the fire, smother the flames by sliding a lid over the pan and turning off the burner. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled. For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed. If you have any doubt about fighting the fire, get out and call 911 for help.
Half of home heating fires are reported in December, January and February. Be warm and safe this winter. Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heating equipment, like the furnace, fireplace, woodstove, or portable space heater. Have a 3-foot "kid-free zone" around open fires and space heaters. Never use your oven to heat your home. Have a qualified professional install stationary space heating equipment, water heaters or central heating equipment according to the local codes and manufacturer's instructions.
Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed. Always use the right kind of fuel, as specified by the manufacturer, for fuel-burning space heaters. Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room. Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container. Keep the container a safe distance away from your home. Test smoke alarms at least once a month.
Electrical fires are the third leading cause of residential fires nationwide. To help deter these kinds of fires, take note of the following tips: Have all electrical work done by a qualified electrician. When you are buying or remodeling a home, have it inspected by a qualified inspector. Only use one heat-producing appliance (such as a coffee maker, toaster, space heater, etc.) plugged into a receptacle outlet at a time. Major appliances (refrigerators, dryers, washers, stoves, air conditioners, etc.) should be plugged directly into a wall receptacle outlet. Extension cords and plug strips should not be used.
Arc fault circuit interrupters shut off electricity when a dangerous condition occurs. Consider having them installed in your home by a qualified electrician. Use ground fault circuit interrupters to reduce the risk of shock. GFCIs shut off an electrical circuit when it becomes a shock hazard. They should be installed inside the home in bathrooms, kitchens, garages and basements. All outdoor receptacles should be GFCI-protected. Test AFCIs and GFCIs once a month to make sure they are working properly. Check electrical cords to make sure they are not running across doorways or under carpets. Extension cords are intended for temporary use. Use lightbulbs that match the recommended wattage on the lamp or fixture. There should be a sticker that indicates the maximum wattage lightbulb to use.

Finally! Independence Day: Resurgence has surged into theaters! Unfortunately, the crappy reviews (here's what I think of those) and a disappointing $16.8 million dollar opening Friday are also surging in. It even has director Roland Emmerich blasting DC and Marvel for "ripping him off."
But through all that bad news, there is some great news! The movie's full of moments that will take you back to 1996, lines that will make you laugh out loud, and speeches that will make you want to stand up and fight:
OK, that last one might be a bad idea, especially in a theater.
One scene in particular is toward the end of the movie. Without giving away too much, it involves a big-ass alien and a school bus.
Here's the alien:
Here's her foot:
And here's the bus getting chased by the big alien:
Be on the lookout for a couple scenes taken from behind the bus, and pay particularly close attention to the kid looking out the back window.
Does he seem familiar? Does he maybe look like this kid?
He only had a couple short scenes, but you can't miss it! Roland (either intentionally or unintentionally) gives a cool little shout-out to none other than Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
Don't believe the internet! Go out and watch this awesome movie!
Until you do, here's the trailer to keep you warm at night:

Released : 08/12/2016
8th December 2016
S&U plc
("S&U"or "the Group")
· Group continues to trade in line with management expectations.
· Advantage Finance live customer numbers are up 34% on last year and now approach 42,000
· Monthly collections at record levels and now exceed £8m per month.
· Business well financed for next phase of growth
S&U plc, the motor finance and specialist lender, announces its trading update for the period from 1st August to the 7th December 2016.
Motor Finance
Advantage Finance, our Grimsby based specialist car finance provider, has continued to grow to record levels of profitability and customer volume. Applications are at near record levels - testament both to a robust labour market and to increasingly close interaction with our broker introducers.
Live customer numbers are up 34% on last year and now approach 42,000. Net receivables at Advantage are now over £189m, and transaction numbers show a 16% increase on the comparative period last year.
Monthly collections are at record levels and now exceed £8m per month. Although the rolling 12 months impairment to revenue ratio has increased from 17.7% to 18.5% during the period, this is still in line both with the same ratio measured over the last 5 years of 19.1%, and with our own expectations.
Crucially for long term sustainable growth, Advantage continues to develop its industry leading underwriting systems, and also the speed and flexibility of its customer service systems with its broker partners. Following the introduction of the new FCA Licencing Regime, Advantage have recently been granted their full Consumer Credit Permission.
Having obtained a further £15m of bank facilities during the period, the Group now has facilities of £85m, sufficient for the growth anticipated at Advantage Finance over the next year, and for the launch in January of Aspen Finance, our pilot bridging finance business.
We anticipate concluding further loan facilities as our businesses require.
Aspen Bridging Finance
The current dearth of supply in the housing market and long term unmet residential demand, provide secure and profitable opportunities for property backed bridging lending. The UK bridging market grew from c.£2 billion in 2012 to £5billion now, and is forecast to reach nearly £10billion by 2020.
We continue to believe that this presents a very good opportunity for S&U plc to diversify its revenue streams and preparations for the launch of our previously announced and rigorous pilot, Aspen Bridging Finance are now well advanced.
Commenting on the Group's performance and outlook, Anthony Coombs, S&U Chairman, said:
"Despite widespread assumptions of "post Brexit gloom", consumer appetite for credit, partially reflecting a robust labour market, continues unabated. This apparent contradiction has been recently reflected, for both S&U and for others in the speciality finance sector, in what I view as an unjustified decoupling of S&U's performance and prospects and our stock market valuation.
"I am confident that our ambition and constant striving for the highest standards of service for our customers will be reflected in the growth, performance and value of the Group."

Notes to Editors
Founded in 1938 and floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1961, S&U plc is one of the UK's leading motor finance and specialist lending providers.
Since 1999, S&U plc's Advantage Finance business has grown to be one of the most progressive and innovative motor finance companies in the country and is a member of the Finance and Leasing Association. Advantage employs over 100 people and since 1999 has provided motor finance for over 100,000 customers across the UK, growing at the rate of 20,000 per year.
S&U disposed of its Loansathome4u home credit business in August 2015.

The time has come! SJM 8016, the Washington Convention of States Article V application, will be considered at a hearing in the Senate Committee on Government Operations & Security on Tuesday January, 26th at 10:00 AM in Olympia. As you are aware, the Convention of States project seeks to call an Article V convention to propose amendments to the U.S. Constitution that "impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.". This is your call to action!
Please take a few moments right now to contact these committee members and ask them to vote in favor of SJM 8016. Phone calls are preferred and emails are important as well. It is particularly important for you to reach out to your Senator if you live in their district. Be sure to identify yourself as one of their constituents if that is the case.
Sen. Pam Roach (R-31st), (360) 786-7660, firstname.lastname@example.com
Sen. Don Benton (R-17th), (360) 786-7632, email@example.com
Sen. Kirk Pearson (R-39th), (360) 786-7676, email@example.com
Sen. Brian Dansel (R-7th), (360) 786-7612, email@example.com
Sen. Cyrus Habib (D-48th), (360) 786-7694, email@example.com
Sen. John McCoy (D-38th), (360) 786-7674, firstname.lastname@example.com
Sen. Dean Takko (D-19th), (360) 786-7636, email@example.com
It is also imperative that we show a strong presence at the committee meeting itself. Please consider taking a day to travel to Olympia to attend the hearing and voice your support for this vital cause. Most Senate hearings are held in the Cherberg building which is right next to the Capitol Building (arrive early and check with the many ushers for guidance). The schedule may be subject to change, so please check the webpage for SJM 8016 frequently: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?year=2016&bill=8016
If you do decide to come to Olympia for the hearing, take a few more minutes to visit each of your 3 legislators for your district and express your support for the Convention of States legislation. These visits have a huge impact! Try calling them in advance to set up a meeting, but if not, just drop by on-the-fly and take a shot at catching them with a minute or two to spare. Be sure to leave a note with their legislative assistant if you don't catch them in their office.
If you don't know your district, you can find it here: http://app.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder
Contact info for your legislators can be found here: http://app.leg.wa.gov/Rosters/Members
Although not required, I'd love to get an email from you updating us if you do contact committee members (and any intel you learn from them) and if you are planning to come to Olympia on Tuesday: firstname.lastname@example.com
Please join us in showing up, standing up, and speaking up for the restoration of self-governance through this constitutional process!

HP EliteBook 8730w Review
By March 25, 2009reviewed
The HP EliteBook 8730w is a high-end, transportable workstation-class notebook. Like Lenovo's ThinkPad W700 series, the EliteBook 8730w offers high-end options such as a quad-core mobile processor and color-accurate LCD. HP's offering is slightly lighter, however, and its brushed anodized aluminum trim makes it a much more stylish option than the black, monolithic ThinkPad. Though it starts at just $1,699, you can easily equip this notebook well enough to push the price over $4,000.
The most striking aspect of the EliteBook 8730w is its optional 17-inch WUXGA DreamColor display. Boasting a 1,920x1,200 resolution, this LED-backlit screen features the DreamColor technology that HP developed along with DreamWorks Animation. This bright, crisp display shows millions of colors, as opposed to the 262,000 of many laptop LCDs. While the EliteBook 8730w doesn't offer an automatic color-calibration sensor as the Lenovo W700 does, thorough calibration software is included. A series of test photos shot with a digital SLR looked gorgeous, with vibrant, true colors, and no visible color gradients. The screen's matte finish makes for glare-free viewing, and it has a very wide viewing angle. The EliteBook 8730w's case features anodized aluminum around the keyboard and on the outside of the lid, black plastic elsewhere, and a magnesium-alloy chassis to protect the system. At 8.1 pounds, it's no lightweight, but it's lighter than the heaviest workstation-class notebooks, which can top 10 pounds.
The keyboard is a pleasure to use, with deep key-throw distance and a full numeric keypad. Above the keyboard is a touch-sensitive strip with a sliding volume control and quick-launch buttons to enable/disable the wireless radios and launch the HP Info Center software. This strip is very sensitive, and more than once we inadvertently switched off Wi-Fi when overreaching for a function key. The 3.5-inch diagonal touch pad features three mouse buttons, and there's a pointing-stick controller as well. The mouse buttons are the only real ergonomic misfire: If you press the lower part of one of the buttons, it will move, but not register a click. A fingerprint reader sits in the lower right corner of the touch pad.
The notebook's guts are as impressive as its exterior. Our test unit featured an Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9300 processor running at 2.53GHz, backed by a 1GB Nvidia Quadro FX 3700M GPU powering the display. Though the EliteBook 8730w is available with Windows Vista Business or Ultimate, our test unit featured the optional downgrade to Windows XP Professional. If you choose to do this, keep in mind Windows XP Pro is a 32-bit operating system and therefore won't be able to utilize more than 3GB of RAM (our system had 4GB of DDR2 RAM installed, with the idea that once the user is ready, they can install Windows Vista, which came in the box).
Our EliteBook 8730w featured a 320GB 7,200rpm hard drive; other options, including an 80GB solid-state drive, are available. You can also add a second hard drive, but this fits in the same upgrade bay used by the optical drive, which, on our unit, held a Blu-ray/DVD±RW drive that we wouldn't want to sacrifice.
Connectivity is very good, with an eSATA connector, four USB ports, and FireWire, VGA, and HDMI ports. (DVI is available on the optional docking station.) Along with 802.11a/b/g/Draft N wireless and Gigabit Ethernet ports, the notebook has a built-in 56Kbps v.92 dial-up modem, a feature that seems almost quaint nowadays.
Because HP chose Windows XP for our review unit, we were unable to run our PCMark Vantage benchmark test, but the EliteBook 8730w's score on the older PCMark 2005 was 7,806, a bit slower than the 8,368 turned in by the similar Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds. The EliteBook 8730w edged out the Lenovo on our Windows Media Encoder and iTunes tests, finishing in 3 minutes and 36 seconds (a record for notebooks) and 3 minutes and 18 seconds respectively, compared with 3 minutes and 41 seconds and 3 minutes and 18 seconds for the W700ds. The quad-core processor and powerful GPU make for smooth multitasking. It was slightly slower on our Sony Vegas 8.0 MPEG-2 rendering test, which pushes all four cores to the limit, completing the render in a time of 4 minutes and 17 seconds, just a hair slower than the W700ds's time of 4 minutes and 3 seconds. Likewise, we were able to view our Blade Runner Blu-ray disc in 1080p while repeating the Windows Media Encoder tests, observing no glitches in the video. The WME time, however, dropped to 4 minutes and 21 seconds. Overall, the EliteBook 8730w is one of the faster notebooks we've tested, with performance rivaling that of midrange quad-core desktops.
Though the notebook isn't aimed at gamers, those who enjoy a good fragfest after the workday is over will be pleased with the performance from the Nvidia Quadro FX 3700M GPU. The EliteBook 8370w turned in a 3DMark06 score of 13,651, which beats even the 12,707 turned in by the Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q708, a QX9300-based notebook that features a pair of GeForce 9800M GTS GPUs. It also beat the Asus W90Vp-X1 at its standard 2.8GHz clock speed. With all the settings cranked up, the EliteBook 8730w turned in 126 frames per second (fps) on F.E.A.R. at 1,024x768, and 42fps at its native 1,920x1,200 resolution. Company of Heroes (DX9) managed a speedy 124fps at native resolution.
Also, battery life was outstanding for its class. While the battery life we saw in our DVD-rundown test won't impress owners of ultraportables, the 2 hours and 27 minutes the EliteBook 8730w lasted is about half an hour longer than we expect for a notebook of this size.
HP backs the EliteBook 8730w with a three-year parts-and-labor warranty, along with toll-free 24/7 hardware tech support. One very nice touch with the bundled software: While the core utilities, such as the HP ProtectTools security app and HP Mobile Display Assistant calibration software, come preinstalled, other applications, such as the bundled Presto BizCard business-card reader and Roxio Creator Business 10.1, only install if you tell them to, via the HP Software Setup application.
The EliteBook 8730w isn't the most feature-packed workstation-class notebook we've tried; that title is still held by the Lenovo W700ds, which features a second internal hard drive, a second LCD, and a drawing pad not found on the HP. But the 8730w is smaller, lighter, and more stylish, and it's an attractive choice for those looking for a highly configurable high-end notebook.
HP EliteBook 8730w
Our Verdict: A stylish, highly configurable notebook with a top-notch screen and keyboard, the HP EliteBook 8730w makes a very capable, if expensive, desktop replacement.

Contact our hydration specialists in Newport Beach to learn more about IV therapy and boost shots
Cold & Flu Therapy sm. $99 / lg. $175 – Orange County, CA
Your Mother Always Told You to Drink Lots of Fluids.
When you get a cold or the flu and want to recover fast, you need specialized care to ease your symptoms and get you back on your feet. Sickness makes you feel somehow too hot and too cold at the same time. Your head feels like it's stuffed full of cotton, and all you want to do is curl up with a bowl of soup, except that you have no appetite.
And you're also dehydrated.
Hydration is extra important when you're sick. Your body loses a lot of fluid through the symptoms of a cold or flu, and not eating and drinking properly means you are not replacing important water and nutrients. Your cells, which are mostly made of water, are spending all their energy trying to fight off the sickness, and they are running out of ammo.
Drinking lots of fluids is important, of course, but sometimes it just isn't enough. After all, you might have to battle your cold for days or even weeks if you wait for it to go away on its own.
Don't wait it out. Fight back with Boost's Cold & Flu IV hydration therapy. Our concentrated formulation of 11 powerful ingredients including Vitamin C, Zinc and Selenium will help knock out colds and the flu fast. We know your time is valuable, so come to Boost Hydration today and get back to your favorite activities fast. Our relaxed spa setting and a simple 30-minute IV hydration treatment will have you feeling good as new.
Cold and Flu Symptoms
How do you know whether you have a cold or the flu? With so many overlapping symptoms, it can be hard to tell without going to the doctor.
A cold usually lasts a week, and you are contagious for the first two to three days. If your symptoms last longer than a week and don't appear to be improving, you may need antibiotics for a bacterial infection. Cold symptoms include:
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Sneezing
- Congestion
- Cough
- Possibly a slight fever
Flu symptoms are usually more severe and come on suddenly. The flu may last anywhere from a few days to weeks. Most symptoms improve slowly over two to five days. These include:
- Sore throat
- Fever
- Chills
- Headache
- Muscle aches and soreness
- Congestion
- Cough
- Fatigue
Whatever you have, you're probably feeling tired and miserable, and over-the-counter cold and flu medications only do so much. If you find yourself feeling early symptoms of a cold or the flu, or your cold or flu won't seem to go away, our IV fluids packed full of vitamins will reduce your symptoms and help you recover faster.
10 Home Remedies for Cold, Flu, and Cough Relief
Along with IV hydration therapy, try these home remedies to relieve cold, flu, and cough symptoms
1. Natural Cold Remedies
Take zinc, vitamin C, and Echinacea to reduce symptoms.
2. Hot Shower
Take a warm shower and make it into your own personal sauna.
3. Steam Tent
You can accomplish the same thing with a pot of boiled water. Bring the water to a boil and take it off the heat. Then drape a towel over your head to make a tent. Lean over the water with your eyes closed and breathe deeply through your nose for about 30 seconds.
4. Warm Compress
Place a warm, moist compress or washcloth on your forehead, nose, or cheeks. It has a similar effect to steam.
5. Nasal Irrigation or Spray
Use a bulb syringe or neti pot to clear out your nasal cavity, or try a salt water or decongestant nasal spray.
6. Soup
Most people's go-to remedy: sip some hot chicken soup. Add some pepper, garlic, or curry powder for added benefits.
7. Spices
Add spices to every meal, not just soup! Garlic, ginger, chili peppers, and horseradish can help reduce congestion.
8. Gargle
Gargle salt water to clear out mucus in your throat.
9. Rest Up
Stay in bed, even if you think you're too busy to take a break.
10. Stay Hydrated!
As always, drink plenty of fluids!
Boost Your Immune System and Prevent Sickness
Getting better fast is all well and good, but what's even better is not getting sick in the first place. When you notice everyone around you getting sick, it's time to visit our Orange County hydration clinic for an IV therapy immune system boost or a general hydration wellness treatment.

Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) announced that it is pursuing strategic alternatives for the Company's ASIC business and related manufacturing assets, including a potential sale. This is a further step in Atmel's transformation plan, which is aimed at focusing on the Company's core microcontroller business and enhancing its cost structure.
"Atmel's Board and management team are focused on fully realizing the value of our company," said Steven Laub, Atmel's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Over the last year, we have taken decisive actions to improve and restructure nearly every aspect of Atmel's operations. The exploration of strategic alternatives for our ASIC business is another step in Atmel's ongoing transformation plan. Our ASIC business is a market leader in multiple segments, but is not a core component of our long-term strategy to build a microcontroller based company. As we proceed with this process, we will remain focused on continuing to drive technological leadership in our core business and providing innovative products and services for our ASIC customers."
Atmel's ASIC business is a leading provider of high performance customer specific integrated circuits and security solutions to the industrial, aerospace and consumer markets operating in three distinct segments: Customer Specific Products (CSP), Smart Cards (SMS) and Aerospace. The ASIC business also includes an advanced 200mm fab located in Rousset, France, and a test and finishing operation located in East Kilbride, Scotland, UK, along with related design, operation, marketing, sales and support resources. Revenues for the ASIC business totaled $416 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008.
Morgan Stanley is serving as Atmel's financial advisor in connection with the evaluation of strategic alternatives for the ASIC business.

You ever see someone with extraordinary success and wonder, "Why Not Me?"
They don't seem smarter or better looking than you. You might even have a better personality than they do.
So why them and not you? The simple reason. Your plan.
In best seller "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, the author got his inspiration from steel baron, Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie believed anyone can become rich with the right plan.
First, you must know what you want, then create a definite purpose followed by passion and persistence.
Story About Pinks Concrete Design – Local to National
One of our clients started a website to generate leads in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The site is www.pinksconcretedesignct.com. The owner, Dan DiLeonardo, specializes in decorative concrete flooring. This is a growing niche that solves many problems for home owners and commercial property owners.
First, we targeted the market in Greenwich, Connecticut for basement floors and garages. Then, we expanded keyword ranking to target retail stores, restaurants and offices.
After a few months, more leads came in than Dan could handle. So he started working with competitors who needed leads. Dan started handling the leads plus technical and customer support.
He profited on each project. It's a win/win. Dan makes money. Contractor makes money, and customer gets awesome customer support.
We next expanded exposure on Google to cover a larger geographic area. More leads came in. Dan builds his network providing a valuable service to contractors and customers.
We then created a website targeting Boston then Maryland, Virginia, Miami and recently Dallas.
Every market produces the same results. Dan is building his national network one local market at a time. He found a niche.
During the past year he started another website providing products for maintaining or coating floors. The website, www.callpinks.com, sells private label flooring epoxy, sealers and specialty waxes.
Dan found another niche. The Pinks name resonates with home owners. Now Dan is developing his first site called Pinks Home Services. Dan fields the leads and works with local contractors to complete the projects.
How Can You Replicate This Business Model?
First, it's the power of the internet enabling entrepreneurs to reach consumers that otherwise would be impossible.
Dan "gets it" with the internet, where few of his competitors do.
To build your empire, start with the mindset techniques in this blog here.
The mindset formula works. Start there. That's where you develop a habit of targeting what you want with SMART goals.
It's imperative you develop the right mindset to ignite your journey. It's not enough to just think it. It must be crystalized into an action plan.
The next step is to research your niche. Then apply that research to your daily mindset exercise.
How to Select Your Niche
It's very difficult to start with a national strategy. It takes a massive amount of work and it's very expensive. Plus, you don't know if it will work.
The best plans start small. Find what works, then replicate.
Fortunately, Google, Facebook and many other companies provide you with access to local customers.
The goal is not just to build a website, but to expand into a local authority site that will open the doors to new revenue streams.
The key is to just get started.
Here's what to do:
Each one of the following only takes a few minutes to research.
1. Keyword Planner – You can open a free account at Google to access the keyword planner. Search for keyword ideas that relate to your niche. If the top 10 most searched keywords have a combined total 30,000 monthly searches, you have a great opportunity. If you find 5 or less with a combined monthly search of 15,000, you still have a solid market. Market Samurai is an excellent tool for researching keywords and your market. It offers a FREE keyword research tool along with training & tutorials.
2. Forums – Go to Google and search your top keywords plus the word forum. Look for top topics that provide a solution to a problem.
3. Amazon – It doesn't matter whether what market you're in. The opportunity to build an amazing business is available to everyone and every business. So go to Amazon. Search for books in your niche. Look for the best sellers in the top 50,000 with at least 15-20 reviews. Reviews indicate engagement. Ideally find 4-5 books in your niche.
The purpose is to find the content your target market wants. Amazon books provide the answer. The work and research is already done for you.
Create a spreadsheet with books, best seller rank, keywords they use in their description. Write down other ideas you find for additional niche markets
4. YouTube – Google is the largest search engine, YouTube is the second largest. After you research your niche. At this point, you know the top keywords. You should be seeing a market unfold. In the YouTube search area, type your keywords. Look for the most relevant videos with views of at least 10,000. Ideally look for videos with 25,000-50,000 views.
5. Clickbank – Clickbank is a marketplace for information products. This is another awesome place to look for information people are willing to spend money on. You can open a free account and get access to thousands of information products. Look at 3 pieces of information.
- Gravity of 15-20 or more. This indicates how many new internet marketers have sold this product for the first time in the past week or so. There is a sorting feature in the Advanced search area to filter results. You can also search by category.
Put the results in your spreadsheet. You can click each result to view their website or sales page. Look at the keywords used in their bold sales points. This will tell you the top keywords these sharp marketers know will sell based on extensive real world results.
- Price – Look for products that sell for $30.00 – $50 or more. Pricing indicates this market is willing to spend and want this information.
- Recurring Billing – This is another feature Clickbank provides. This relates to memberships. If there is a membership site, it's another indication that people want this information.
6. Facebook – Go to Facebook and search for groups in your target niche. If you find groups with 5,000 or more and shares of 50 or more, you know there's a strong market. Look at the topics being shared and you'll know what to provide your audience.
If you follow the steps outlined here, you'll know what your market wants.
Then you can start looking at your local market, who the competitors are and how to start building a plan to get started and how to scale your business to dominate your local market, then expand nationally.
In the next blog, I'll discuss searching your competition and how to start building your strategy.

The lead singer of the Dandy Warhols has hit out at the Conservative party after they used one of the band's tracks at a political event.
It was originally reported that Home Secretary Theresa May walked offstage to Primal Scream track 'Rocks' at a party conference, after which the group said that they were "disgusted" that she had used their music despite having different political beliefs.
It then emerged that the song used was actually The Dandy Warhols's 'Bohemian Like You', which caused frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor to launch a tirade of his own.
Taylor-Taylor wrote on the band's official website: "WTF? Where do I bitch about this? I'll tear their fuggin heads off. Well maybe not but this happened to us in an Arkansas gubernatorial race and it makes me super angry. And then I wanna puke.
"Why don't these assholes have right-wing bands make them some right-wing music for their right-wing jerkoff politics? Oh, because right-wing people aren't creative, visionary or any fun to be around. Nor are they productive or even introspective about it. Wait, I live in Portland, Oregon… neither are left-wingers come to think of it."
Taylor-Taylor continued: "Jesus, I tend to really dislike ANY people who take sides in politics. It is the single greatest contributor to getting nothing done. F**k 'politics'. What a joke.
"I give my charitable donations to people who get on a plane themselves and go to Haiti or Africa and help other people. Do you? NEVER to a political machine. I like to get s**t done. You do too. F**k, now I'm p*ssed off."
Watch the video for the Dandy Warhols's 'Bohemian Like You' below:

Greg Rucka and Rick Burchett have announced a new comics project.
Lady Sabre and the Pirates of the Ineffable Ether will launch as a webcomic in July.
Rucka told The Stumptown Trade Review that the comic would be a "steampunk, pirates, western thing" featuring airships, floating islands, gunslingers, sword fights and "hopefully witty dialogue".
The pair hope that the webcomic will allow them to fund their American Soldier project, which follows the fate of a family through the US's major wars, including the American Revolution and Civil War.
Rucka teased American Soldier on his blog last year but is still seeking a publisher for the project.
Last year, the writer - who worked on the celebrated Batwoman-starring run on Detective Comics - announced the end of his work for DC Comics for the foreseeable future.

SCIFI AND TV TALK: Q & A with Grimm's David Giuntoli
by Steve Eramo
Risking his life to help save others is something that Detective Nick Burkhardt does every day as a member of the Portland, Oregon police force. His job, however, got that little bit more dangerous two years ago when Nick learned that he was descended from a long and ancient line of profilers called Grimms. He and his kind are responsible for maintaining the balance between humanity and mythical creatures called "Wesen," who have been living amongst humans for centuries.
Nick is the only one who can see these creatures for who they truly are, which complicates not only his work life but also his home life. His one true confidant is, in fact, a Wesen, a Weider Blutbad named Monroe, who has also put his life on the line more than once to fight alongside our hero. At the end of Grimm's first season, Nick tried to explain his Grimm "sideline" to his girlfriend Juliette. Unfortunately, she thought he was crazy, and shortly after that fell into a coma caused by Adalind, a Wesen with a score to settle with Nick.
In season two, Juliette awoke from her coma after a "magic" kiss from Nick's boss, Captain Renard, a human/Wesen hybrid whose father was a Royal, an ancient and powerful group of seven families. The Royals are searching for a set of keys – one of which Nick has – that can show them the way to controlling the world. Nick's partner, Detective Hank Griffin, is now privy to Nick's secret and, together with Monroe and Monroe's girlfriend Rosalee, is helping his friend fight against the Royals along with the Wesen.
Recently, Grimm's congenial leading man, David Giuntoli, took some time out of his day to speak with me along with other journalists about his work on the show this season as Nick Burkhardt and what viewers can look forward to in the remaining episodes this season. The following is an edited version of our Q & A. Enjoy!
... Q: How do you feel about the season three pick up and the move to Tuesday night?
David Giuntoli: "It's all very exciting. I think NBC is showing a lot of faith in Grimm by moving us to Tuesday nights. We're very excited to expose the show to an entirely new audience and scare as well as befuddle a whole new segment of the population."
Q: Grimm has so many elements to it, from drama to action to romance and fantasy. Is there any one element that you enjoy performing in the most or do you appreciate the variety overall?
DG: "Well, I do appreciate the variety, though I will say that it is a dark show, and I really love when we get to squeeze in some more comedic elements. Every now and then we'll have a lighter episode, one of which aired three weeks ago (One Angry Fuchsbau). We had a Ziegevolk lawyer charming an entire jury. Rosalee (Bree Turner) was the jury foreman, and Sergeant Wu (Reggie Lee), who was testifying, ended up changing his testimony. There were a lot of many great comedic bits in that one..."
