Traffic lights irritate drivers
Relevant offers
Traffic on side roads continues to cause frustration to motorists as the 10 sets of traffic lights between Washdyke and North St change erratically.
The 6-kilometre stretch is controlled by the Sydney Co-ordinated Adaptive Traffic System (Scats), designed for that Australian city.
Timaru District Council land transport manager Andrew Dixon says that, when used for smaller volumes, the system will allow one car on a side street to join the main road, as it flicks to red to cope with what it perceives as demand.
Motorist Kevin Dey travels regularly from his Washdyke home along Hilton Highway, Evans St and Theodosia St, and said he invariably had to stop many times on the way.
He said that, even when the lights were green at the Newman St intersection, the next lot of lights around the corner, outside McDonald's, were usually red.
The retired manager said it did not matter what time of day or night he travelled, he always encountered the same problem.
"It's really annoying," he said.
"It can add 10 minutes to a trip."
Dey would like to see a similar system installed to the ones on Blenheim Rd and Moorhouse Ave in Christchurch.
He wonders how Timaru truck drivers cope with the disruptions.
Brosnan Transport trucks take containers to and from the port about 20 times a day but have not found any problems with the lights.
General manager Reon Park said more concerning for his truck drivers were passing lanes changing to single lanes abruptly along that route.
Dixon said the maximum red-light phase was 60 seconds and usually motorists would not have to stop for that entire time "and never at all of them".
"[Stopping for 10 minutes] is a perception thing, it's not reality."
The Christchurch Traffic Operation Centre was now controlling the lights and was in the process of fine-tuning them.
"So they will improve," Dixon said.
Meanwhile yesterday afternoon, at the intersection of the Port Loop Rd and State Highway 1, the lights on the main route remained green for six minutes.
"We had to manually over-ride it," Dixon said.

Like a lot of scrubs, this product has both sugar and salt granules for gentle exfoliation, but unlike many other of its ilk, this body polish isn't dripping with oil. Instead, it has a thick, creamy consistency that glides on like a body butter. Not only is this polish resistant to drying out and dissolving, but it has an amazingly spicy-sweet scent (McEvoy's No. 9 Blackberry & Vanilla Musk) that will make you want to shower just a bit longer. Once washed away, you'll be left with smooth — not greasy — skin.

Panthers claim Kentwan Balmer off waivers
The Carolina Panthers claimed Kentwan Balmer off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks, addressing a need at defensive tackle Thursday.
Balmer, a first-round draft pick (28th overall) by the San Francisco 49ers in 2008, started 11 games last season.
The Panthers are hoping the 6-foot-5, 318-pound Balmer can be a suitable replacement for Ron Edwards, who was placed on injured reserve after tearing his triceps on Aug. 4.
The former University of North Carolina player has largely underachieved during his three-year NFL career. He played two disappointing seasons (19 tackles in 27 games) for the 49ers before being traded to Seattle in 2010, where he saw his most significant action, recording 43 tackles. However, the Seahawks cut him this week and the Panthers, who own the first pick when it comes to waiver wire pickups, jumped on him.
Losing Edwards left the Panthers extremely thin at defensive tackle with Nick Hayden the most experienced of the bunch with 13 starts. The Panthers drafted Sione Fua and Terrell McClain in the third round. Fua has been starting alongside Corvey Irvin, a third-round pick in 2008, so far this preseason.
To make room for Balmer, the Panthers placed cornerback Cletis Gordon on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.

Study shows proximal opening wedge, chevron osteotomy produced similar results
Among patients with moderate-to-severe hallux valgus and increased intermetatarsal angle, proximal opening wedge osteotomy with wedge-plate fixation and proximal chevron osteotomy in combination with a distal soft-tissue procedure both offered predictably successful results, according to study results.
Researchers randomly assigned 75 patients with hallux valgus with an increased intermetatarsal angle to receive a proximal opening wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal with wedge-plate fixation or a proximal chevron osteotomy fixed with two mini-fragment screws only and no plate. Clinical outcome scores of the SF-36, the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society forefoot questionnaire, and VAS for pain, activity and patient satisfaction were collected, and patients were assessed prior to surgery and at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Using questionnaires and operative times required for each procedure, the researchers evaluated surgeon preference.

This is the spot for a great family vacation
When my husband and I were looking for a relaxing, fun vacation with our two young kids (4 and 1.5) we had our share of challenges. But when we came across this house, it was the perfect solution. A great location, near fun activities in Waterbury (cider house, cheese shop, ben and jerry's), amazing dinner at Hen of the Woods as well as close to Stowe and other places with some phenomenal hiking. The best part of this house is the convenience especially with young kids! A crib, a toy room, bunk beds, tree house, hot tub, pool. Fun for adults and kids so you can be active all day and then kick back at night in the house and have tons of fun! My kids loved the new toys and the toy cars in the garage which they ran up and down the driveway for hours, while I got to look at one of the most stunning views. The house is stocked with anything you need for good cooking and grocery store close by. We will likely come back next year and can't wait!
Wow! Where do I even start? Usually when looking for a vacation rental, I have a bunch of houses I go back and forth looking at, trying to decide what works, what doesn't, and then finally deciding on the best of the bunch... in this case, it was the first house I saw, the first reviews I read and that was it, locked in my dates within an hour of inquiring and it was a done deal and boy, was it ever! I have NEVER had a better vacation than the one I just had at this rental. All of the reviews on this property and the owners were spot on, accurate and truthful, without a doubt! And what can I possibly add that hasn't already been said by everyone else reviewing this property? As an entrepreneur who works from home, who is "plugged in" ALWAYS, who is 24/7 with her clients, this was the FIRST time in more years than I can remember that I actually "unplugged" for the entire week and didn't feel guilty because what I felt the entire week was that I was FINALLY getting a chance to feel normal again, to feel like it was okay to have a vacation and to thoroughly enjoy myself, geez, what a concept, and yet, for workaholics like myself, vacation is like a curse and yet... in this place and with Kristi and Ed, I wanted to just stay and never leave... I did things this past week that I haven't allowed myself to do in years... hiking at Mt. Pisgau, antiquing throughout the Northeast Kingdom, eating at the Parker Pie Company and having my first beer since high school, walking the long AND short roads, having nightly wine tasting in the cottage, watching the loons learning how to fly on the pond, canoeing at sunrise, watching the mist rise above the water, reading a book for the first time in forever on the porch overlooking the pond, watching Sunday, Monday and Thursday night football, a guilty pleasure I never allow myself, making dinner each night as the sun went down... the list just goes on and on and on of things I haven't done in years and it's all because Kristi and Ed set the tone from the moment we arrived at the cottage to the moment we left this morning and said goodbye to them... it was like saying goodbye to old friends even though we had just met them a week before. When do you EVER have an experience like that and yet, that is the exact experience we had this week. You want to talk about a five-star experience, the kind that people travel all over the world to have? Well, you don't have to travel any further than this place.
Stowe Dreamland
We enjoyed our time in Stowe, seeing all the fall colors at peak, and having such a wonderful place to stay. This rental was the more well-stocked rental we've ever stayed in. The communication about the condo and the directions to get there were all perfect. I cannot say enough about the communication we had with the owner prior to our arrival and during our stay. He was most helpful with a list of the Top 20 things to see/do in the Stowe area. I would recommend this unit and the area without hesitation. Thank you for such a comfortable condo, it was a trip that tops our list.

Fran Blinebury Says Rockets Will Have To Try Again Next Year
Fran Blinebury, nba.com, joined MaD Radio to discuss the most recent developments in the NBA. He said that the Rockets are not going to be contenders this year with their current lineup and will just have to try again next year. He said it's hard to say whether or not the Rockets should have re-signed Parsons but he thinks they probably should have gone for it. Blinebury spoke about the journey the Rockets have been on so far with getting James Harden and Dwight Howard, but this situation with losing out in free agency has been a bit of a setback for the team.
David Robinson Talks LeBron, James Harden, And Playing Under Popovich
Hall of Famer David Robinson joined the Triple Threat to talk about all things NBA. He said he hadn't really heard much about LeBron James's move because he's been out of the loop. He said that he is a big fan of James Harden and that Harden is "a stud." Robinson thinks the Rockets still have some question marks to work through. He said he really enjoyed playing under Gregg Popovich because of his no nonsense style of coaching. He discussed a charity event he is doing in town as well.

Orlando Alzugaray, 640 Sports Miami, joined The B-Straw & Pauly G Show to discuss NBA free agency and the Heat. He started out discussing the meeting between LeBron and Riley today in Vegas and his thought on Riley's best approach to LeBron. He said that Miami has the clear advantage over Cleveland in the quest for LeBron in multiple ways from location to a level of class they are known for. Alzugaray said the winning component for teams is battle tested veteran players, not young guys. He said if LeBron leaves Miami, he can see Chris Bosh coming to play for the Rockets because he won't stay on without LeBron. Alzugaray says LeBron is the big domino and he will set off a long chain of events once he has made his decision. He thinks LeBron will make his decision in the next 48 hours.

Tonight the B-Straw & Pauly G Show Road Trip traveled to New York and Columbia. First they spoke to John Jastremski, WFAN New York, about Carmelo Anthony and where he will end up.

He also doesn't think LeBron James will leave the Heat. Next they traveled to Columbia to talk to Brandon Kiley, ESPN Columbia, about Dorial Green-Beckham going to OU. Kiley said he doesn't think there's much chance Green-Beckham actually plays for Oklahoma at all.

Huawei is a name that most of us have been hearing more and more often lately, as the company has really been pushing its presence in the North American market. It's currently offering some really unique hardware, like the 6.1-inch Ascend Mate 2, which sports a massive 3,900mAh battery. Huawei claims that it'll get you through an entire weekend without needing to hit the wall (up to 2.5 days to be exact).
Update: Here's a video of the full press conference.
We've been hearing about Amazon's potential smartphone for what seems like years, but today it's finally real. At a super-exclusive Amazon event, Jeff Bezos talked about Prime, Kindles, FireTV, customers, some other stuff, and took wraps off of the company's first go at a phone. It is, as you may have guessed, an interesting one. It's packing some rather unique features, as well as top-notch hardware:
- 4.7" IPS LCD HD display "optimized for one-handed use" – 590 nit brightness, Gorilla Glass
- Quad core 2.2GHz processor
- Adreno 330 GPU
- 32/64GB storage
- 13MP f/2.0 rear shooter, OIS – instant access button, even with the screen off
- Four front-facing cameras for dynamic perspective and a wider field of view
- Unlimited photo storage (cloud)
- Dual stereo speakers
- Ships with non-tangle headphones with flat cable and magnetic buds
- Glass back
- Aluminum Buttons
- Nine-band LTE
- $199 on-contract, AT&T Only
Once upon a time, Blu was pushing out low- to mid-range phones once every couple of weeks. Then a shift happened – the company stepped up its game and started putting out higher quality handsets, leading up to last month's release of the Life Pure XL – a Snapdragon 800-packing monster.
Fast-forward to now, with the launch of two new Blu handsets: the Vivo IV and Life 8. While the Life 8 is more of a "mid-range" octa-core device (1GB RAM, 1280x720 display, 8GB storage), the Vivo IV is another beast entirely.
In the past, Blu has offered budget-friendly phones with mid to mid-high end specs. The biggest issue that most power users have had with the company's handsets is a simple one: MediaTek processors. While these particular chips offer good bang for the buck, they are still mostly underpowered for heavy multi-taskers or anyone looking for lightning quickness from their handset.
It looks like we may be getting into a new era for Blu if the new Life Pure XL is any indicator of what to expect moving forward.
Can you make a smartphone without compromise? Is it possible to cram top-of-the-line hardware into a slim phone body, then fit it with well-regarded software, then sell it for about half the price of competing devices, and call the resulting product a "flagship killer?" Can you, as the ceaseless OnePlus promotion machine so succinctly puts it, "never settle?"
In a word, no. The OnePlus One, the maiden Android phone from a boutique manufacturer, is not completely without its shortcomings (or indeed, its compromises).
There it is folks, the Moto E has been announced. We've known about it for a little while thanks to a couple of leaks, one of which even included specs. Today, Motorola held an event in India to officially launch the budget handset, starting it at just 6999 Rupees (about $117 USD). Shortly after the show was over, US pre-orders also went live with a starting price of $129 without contract.
While Huawei's presence here in the United States has remained limited, the company's handset shipments in Asia and other parts of the world make it a serious mobile contender in the grand scheme. Today, Huawei announced its latest attempt to usurp its competitors at the high end of the market: the Ascend P7.
The P7 looks largely reminiscent of the P6, which is to say it looks largely reminiscent of an iPhone 4.
Someone at the Caterpillar equipment company had a lot of fun devising this promotional video for CAT's Android-powered, ruggedized smartphone, the B15. In addition to some dramatic drops using machines right out of a Tonka fantasy, the demonstrators set up a line of 600 smartphones, all powered on and running, then ran over them with a CAT 277D Multi-Terrain Loader weighing over 9,000 pounds. Let's watch!
Naturally the phones come out unscathed, or at least apparently so.
After all the teasing and big talk, the OnePlus One has been officially announced. Some of what wasn't revealed by the company in the lead up to the unveiling was leaked a few days ago, but now we've got all the details. This device is clearly going after the Nexus category of devices with a low price and solid feature set. Oh, and it has CyanogenMod.

To the Editor: Government cannot solve environmental problems
I noticed an interesting juxtaposition in the June 30-July 6 issue. On the front page, you had the article "Waterkeeper News" by Art Norris, about saving the rivers from large polluters and the need for better oversight along with requiring I.E.S. (Environmental Impact Statements). Also on the front page was the usual "Renewable Energy" column by Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl, and finally, the sports page column by Jim Hagerty about the Asian carp problem.
What, you may ask, do these stories have in common? They all are written by people who are dedicated to environmental protection (hardly anyone would argue with that), and they are relying on the government to do the "heavy lifting" in terms of regulation, subsidies, studies, permits, etc. They are all doomed to disappointment. It's foolish to expect the government to be either wise or effective in stewardship of our natural resources. You need only to look at their problem-solving skills in other areas (the economy, employment/job creation, immigration, health care, etc.).
How effective has the government been handling those?
Our rivers will be polluted, wind and solar energy will prove to be a giant boondoggle, and the Asian carp will find its way into the Great Lakes. Your writers have good intentions, but the road to hell is paved with them.

Jumpsuits are my best friend. If I don't feel like putting any effort into planning an outfit, I can always grab a jumper and I am set to go. I made this one with some left over fabric I had, using the same pattern I made for my sweetheart bodice crop top. And for the bottoms I traced a pair of pants that I already had. You can see more pics of the process at http://www.lipglossandthread.com/is-it-fall-yet/

Matt Belvedere is a veteran journalist at the intersection of where live television news programs and the Internet meet—developing and managing an online and social media presence for CNBC's flagship morning show, "Squawk Box."
Following years of cable and major market live TV news production, Belvedere started in 2007 the award-winning video department at usnews.com, the website of U.S. News & World Report. He also managed online strategies there at a time when the magazine was transitioning to a digital first organization.
Belvedere was nominated for a local Emmy as the Producer of morning ratings leader "News4 Today" at WRC, the NBC-owned station in Washington, D.C.
Prior to WRC, he started his career in TV production at CNBC, where he returned in the fall of 2011 as a producer on "Street Signs," before joining the digital team.

The first thing Republican and Democrat budget negotiators need to do is re-build goodwill and "get to know each other," said Jim Nussle, former George W. Bush OMB director.
It was a "Who's Who" of guests on "Squawk Box"—everybody from Buffett to Bowles, Tepper to Cooperman, and McCain to Corker. "Talking Squawk," the official show blog, covers them all.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told CNBC on Thursday that lawmakers should try the regular budget process for a change.
Republicans should not give President Obama any new taxes as part of a long-term solution to the nation's budget problems, Grover Norquist says.
With the latest federal debt crisis over for now, what does the U.S. need to do to get back its AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor's?
Developing a comprehensive plan to achieve U.S. energy independence is the "single biggest" way to boost the economy, FedEx Chairman and CEO Fred Smith told CNBC.
"My own butt was the inspiration" for the Spanx phenomenon, self-made billionaire Sara Blakely told CNBC on Wednesday.
The federal investigations into JPMorgan are like cops following you for 500 miles, Warren Buffett said. "You're going to get a ticket."
The Fed won't taper its bond-buying program for three or four months because of the D.C. budget overhang, said David Tepper, founder of Appaloosa Management.
The stock market is not overvalued right now, but it's no bargain anymore, Leon Cooperman, chairman and CEO of Omega Advisors, told CNBC on Tuesday.

Police: Bedford should be on the alert after attack on couple last weekend
Home of Eduardo and Sonia Quesada at 7 Proclamation Ct., Bedford. The Quesadas were badly injured in a home invasion assault on Nov. 24. (KATHRYN MARCHOCKI/UNION LEADER)
BEDFORD - Six days after an intruder broke into a home and brutally assaulted a doctor and his wife, police gave a general description of the assailant and said they don't know if the couple was targeted or attacked at random.
"It's important for everyone to recognize the...disturbing possibility that there is an individual in the community who may strike again and that is not comforting," Police Chief John J. Bryfonski said at a Friday media conference at police headquarters.
Bryfonski said the man who broke into the 7 Proclamation Court Adirondack-style mansion where Dr. Eduardo Quesada, his wife, Sonia, and their 2-year-old daughter lived is at least 6-feet tall and wore a black ski mask and dark clothing when he confronted the couple inside their home about 10 p.m. Nov. 24.
"I just really pray that they find this person," said one neighbor who asked that her name not be used out of concern for her safety.
Meanwhile, investigators this week interviewed subcontractors and the developer who have been building the house next door to the Quesadas, one of the subcontractors interviewed said.
"They (police) believe it was a burglary gone bad and that tools were involved," said the subcontractor, who asked that his name not be published.
"They came and asked me if there were any tools missing," he added.
Investigators also met separately with the developer and asked him for the names of everyone who worked on the neighboring house since construction began late summer, the subcontractor said.
Police also brought in a dog team Tuesday to search the rear and side yards of houses along the cul-de-sac, he said.
Flanked by state, local and county law enforcers, Bryfonski said investigators do not know who the intruder is, whether he acted alone or if the burglary was random or targeted.
Police also don't know the motive for the burglary and attack, or whether Dr. Quesada's work as an anesthesiologist with Amoskeag Anesthesiology in Manchester, had anything to do with it.
"We are exploring every possible motive and are still looking at every single piece of evidence," he added.
Authorities held off releasing a description of the attacker until they had a chance to speak more extensively with both victims during the last three to four days and found that a preliminary review of the evidence corroborated their accounts.
Earlier this week, police told the public there is nothing to suggests residents were less safe than usual.
Bryfonski said the male attacker is the same person police previously called a "person of interest."
Quesada, 52, reportedly suffered serious head injuries. He remains hospitalized, the chief said yesterday. Sonia Quesada was released from the hospital this week, the chief said. Their child was not harmed and is being cared for by relatives.
A wounded and bloodied Sonia Quesada first ran to a neighbor's house at 6 Proclamation Court - one of just three houses on the short cul-de-sac. When she found no one home, she ran to the other neighbor's house at 3 Proclamation Court, who called 911, according to police and resident accounts.
Bryfonski, who has been the town's police chief about one year, warned residents to be vigilant and report suspicious activity to Bedford police at 472-5113. He also urged residents to turn on their security alarms, and lights and lock doors.
Bryfonski would not comment when a reporter asked him to confirm a report that Dr. Quesada had been attacked with a screwdriver. The chief also would not say if there were signs of forced entry at the home, if anything had been taken and whether police had recovered a weapon.
Burglaries, the chief said, are "one of the major problems here in Bedford." But, he added, home invasions are "not commonplace" here.
Asked if police are exploring the possibility the attack was the result of a burglary gone bad, the chief only said "we're looking at everything."
One neighbor and a local contractor, however, said Bedford police approach them about a month ago seeking information about an attempted burglary in the neighborhood.They are investigating whether any similar break-ins have happened in the region.
For now, police do not even know if the attacker was on foot or used a vehicle.
While police have just a vague description of the attacker, Bryfonski said state police investigators have amassed "a mountain of evidence" during their nearly four days working inside the home. Much has yet to be processed.
Bryfonski said there is "no connection" between Dr. Quesada's arrest in November, 2011 on a domestic-related assault charge and this case.
Assisting Bedford police are New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit investigators, Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies, the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration agents.

My 14 year old sister is a super model in the making and needed something to wear to her first high school homecoming.. This silhouette is quite popular right (structured shoulders sleek fit). So I added some character to her dress by making it suede and with the whole back being green.
The texture and color blocking make this piece stand out from the crowd.

Google's Schmidt: Android winning mobile war over Apple
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt compared Android's growing lead over Apple in mobile software to Microsoft's software rise in the 1990s, in a Bloomberg Businessweek interview. "This is a huge platform change; this is of the scale of 20 years ago — Microsoft versus Apple," Schmidt said. "We're winning that war pretty clearly now." Android took 72 percent of the market in the third quarter, to Apple's 14 percent, according to technology research company Gartner, Inc. However, those numbers belie the two companies' differing business models when it comes to mobile software, as Google gives away its Android operating system to numerous third-party hardware developers, while Apple limits iOS to its own products.

iOS still maintains 85%+ of mobile web traffic. That's what generates the $$ and what should really be the important factor
Posted by Yawn on December 12, 2012 at 12:33 PM (CST)
The raw numbers in terms of installed base are indeed very much in Android's favor, but Android's monetization has yet to prove superior in the larger market in spite of such a lop sided market share advantage.
First, there's no direct profit for the OS itself. So, while it is obvious Google believes in it for now and continues to throw a lot of money at it, there's no solid reason to assume that will continue in perpetuity. Once the business model changes, all bets are off. Most of Google's partners are supporting them because Google is effectively giving them many millions of dollars worth of R&D and licensing every year for free, allowing both carriers and hardware makers to push their products at a seemingly lower price point than Apple or Microsoft's yet pocketing a greater profit margin. What happens if Google decided they need to actually make something off of all this work beyond PR and fuzzy feelings? Or just handed off the project back to the open source community where it started?
Second, the 3rd party Android app market place is a hot mess, a *deliberate* choice on Google's part, and while the gap has narrowed in recent years, Apple is still obviously ahead in terms of top shelf 3rd party developers. Until Google can find some way to close the developer game completely or, better yet, surpass Apple in courting first rate developers, Android is going to largely be 'whatever it was that came with my "free" phone' or a nearly unrecognizable mod (e.g. Amazon's Kindle).
Last, while it may wind up there, likening this to the Apple vs. Microsoft battle in the 90s seems premature and distorting of the context. Apple didn't just fail because of ever widening market share matters, they failed because a majority of people actively preferred Windows (no matter what the fruit faithful tell themselves, I should know, I made the switch in 1998 and never regretted it once). Conversely, I have a single friend who is familiar with both Android and iOS and prefers Android, all the others have already made the switch to iOS or wish they could but haven't yet for carrier/contract reasons. Unlike the Mac, the iPhone is still what most people who actually care consider the gold standard. Until that changes, market share is only a small part of the story.

I worked for Eric Schmidt at Sun Microsystems. Great Guy. Very smart and talented for an executive. That said, I use both Android 4.21 and iOS 6.0.1 everyday. While users can have more control over Android, the apps, tight integration and easy of use on iOS is much, much better. I tend to have fun on my Android devices like the Nexus 7 - I really use my iPhone and iPad for business and real serious / stable work and integration with PC and Macs.
Posted by Tekkies on December 12, 2012 at 7:25 PM (CST)
I think basically you're up the creek either way. With iOS, you get exactly what Apple wants you to have (for good or bad). With Android, you get what's left after the carriers add bloatware and disable features.
Schmidt and co. can brag all they want about Android but a good portion of their success is due to Apple's self-inflicted black eye - otherwise known as the AT&T exclusivity agreement.
Posted by Paul A. on December 13, 2012 at 5:52 PM (CST)
"a good portion of their success is due to Apple's self-inflicted black eye - otherwise known as the AT&T exclusivity agreement"
Absolutely. If the iPhone had been available across the board like early Android phones were I'd bet the picture would be very, very different. Right or wrong, in much of the country, you have little choice of carrier, ergo, you have little choice to buy a smartphone when they inanely link themselves to a single carrier that is substandard where you live.

Photos: Asus 8.9-inch Eee at CeBIT
Summary: At CeBIT 2008, Asus had a massive presence and managed to draw crowds wanting to get a closer look at the new and improved 8.9-inch Asus Eee PC.
4 of 5Image
I wouldn't doubt if people buy the 12 GB Linux version and use NLite to install a trimmed down version of XP though having Linux on this device is extremely useful if you're going to use it as a security auditing tool.
The bottom line is that the Asus Eee is very pleasing in the hands and it runs Windows XP very quickly if you keep bloatware/crapware off of it.
Here's a comparison of the older 7-inch Asus Eee versus the 8.9-inch Eee. As you can see, the screen is much bigger and the color and contrast appears to be much better.

University students often encounter a great deal of stress during the course of their academic experience. While most students cope successfully with the challenges that these years bring, an increasing number of students find that the various pressures of life are unmanageable or unbearable. As faculty members and staff, you often encounter these distressed students in your offices or your classrooms. Some of these students have not sought any professional assistance. Thus, your role is a crucial one in identifying and referring students who are in distress.
Academic Signs
Personal/Behavioral Signs
Crisis intervention is a service offered to students who are in serious, immediate emotional distress. Psychologists are on call 24 hours a day to handle emergencies such as suicide attempts, rape or attempted rape, physical assaults, and other types of crises. If you or a friend is in a psychological crisis, visit or call Counseling Services during regular business hours at (402) 280-2735 and tell the secretary you have an emergency. After hours during the week or on weekends, call Public Safety at (402) 280-2911 and ask them to page the on-call psychologist, who will call you back.

J.J. Abrams Gives Private Screening of STAR TREK Film to Dying Fan
Comingsoon.net reports that J.J. Abrams gave a private screening of the highly anticipated film STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS, for a lifelong fan of the franchise who is suffering from two forms of cancer.
According to the report, a user on Reddit posted that his friend, who had only a few weeks to live, was disappointed when he went to a local theater to view 'The Hobbit' hoping to see the prologue for the upcoming Star Trek film. However, the prologue was not screened at the showing he attended.
The online posting caught the eye of Star Trek director J.J. Abrams who set up a private screening of the entire film for Dan and his wife. The thrilled duo expressed their excitement posting, "Hi everyone, it's Daniel's wife, we are of course sworn to secrecy, BUT we are officially allowed to say we saw it and we enjoyed it IMMENSELY as a film and as a gesture...We were so touched when [Abrams] was concerned that we wouldn't 100% enjoy the screening as it's still being worked on....... Be assured we enjoyed it 110%!"
She went on to ask that everyone keep their story in mind as an example of giving during the holidays. "This is a story of us giving something to him, the 'internet' community giving something to him and ultimately being a heartwarming gift to our friends, family and so many others. This story of us (and of course JJAbrams & Bad Robot) being able to give this surprise gift of a screening to a huge movie buff like Daniel, especially a film made by a film maker who obviously makes movies with such care, with a fan like Daniel in mind."

InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC), a wireless research and development company, and SemperCon, an application development company, today announced the launch of CirrusCon, a new cloud-based application developer platform that enables mobile and over-the-top application developers to add bandwidth and connectivity management to their applications. The API platform will be featured by the companies at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, February 25-28.
SemperCon's new mobile development platform offers a cloud-based API platform that makes it easy for developers to address the most pressing technical hurdles challenging the launch of successful mobile applications while enhancing their applications with new features aimed at creating new revenue streams. The CirrusCon platform, which features InterDigital's Smart Connectivity & Mobility Service (SCMS), lets mobile application developers quickly build mobile applications with bandwidth management, increased mobile security, robust connections and enhanced analytics. Using the CirrusCon platform, mobile application developers can focus on their core functionality and the unique differentiators of their applications while leaving difficult bandwidth, connection and security issues to be handled by the platform.
"One of the challenges in mobile application development is that the application does not control the underlying connectivity. CirrusCon enables developers to build in connectivity control features, such as aggregating various connectivity channels to handle bursts in data need, offloading non-essential data to public or WiFi networks, or segmenting data streams based on application features," said Allen Proithis, Executive Vice President, InterDigital Solutions.
The CirrusCon platform has already enabled some beta customers to bring their applications to the next level:
- Basecamp Business' Business Calendar Network application for iOS and Android provides a calendar of business events as well as offering direct ties to event networking capabilities such as Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook. Mel Baiada, Basecamp's President and CEO, says: "Our BCN application will benefit from the use of CirrusCon's API platform to ensure solid wireless connections in bad indoor environments, and also its local network identification feature which eliminates the need for trying to reconfirm location information."
- Bleacher League Entertainment's Bleacher League Baseball application is a real-time, baseball application allows users to predict what a batter will do at the plate. Good network connectivity in crowded sports arena environments is critical to its success. "With CirrusCon's SCMS, we will be able to work with arena managers to ensure solid connections and help manage connectivity in large, very congested settings," says John Root, CEO Bleacher League Entertainment.
- Wingman is currently running controlled beta tests of their Wingman: Patron drink ordering application at bars in the Pittsburgh PA area. Wingman President Lionel Levine, says "During early testing we ran into issues related to poor indoor 3G/4G data reception and in getting accurate GPS/location signals. The CirrusCon SCMS will help address both those problems by ensuring strong local data reception and confirming that users are definitely at the bar."
CirrusCon will be highlighted at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona with InterDigital's APPeritivo mobile application, which is available on Apple iTunes and Google Play. Using APPeritivo, MWC attendees will be able to order drinks on location at InterDigital's booth, and the application will manage premises verification and smart connectivity that is completely transparent to the user.
To learn more about the platform features and to order a free cocktail, drop by the InterDigital booth at Hall 7, Stand 7G111.

There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.
