Behind the Ethanol Scandal
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Something about this decade's economic assumptions has never made sense to me.
The idea that you can anticipate a high and rising price for fuel, regardless of demand, never made sense to me.
What I was taught in economics class was that demand encouraged supply, and at some point the two would balance.
That's what seems to be happening. Shale oil, shale gas, and new strikes around the world are dramatically increasing gas supplies and proven reserves, to the point where one-third of natural gas being pumped in North Dakota's Bakken is being flared, burned away, $100 million in gas a month."seek relief" from paying taxes and royalties on it. If something is not "economically feasible," doesn't that mean the market has cleared at a price below the cost to bring on production? At its current price of $3.67/MCF, according to the latest report on Investing.com, it's still not economically feasible. Prices below production costs have long been the problem with ethanol. The Renewable Fuel Standard was created to bridge this gap, enabling production. The idea that traders may be exploiting this program is separate from the question of supply and demand. You wanted supply and you got it. Genetic engineering is coming to the rescue of fuel prices. A bumper corn harvest, driven by genetically engineered seeds, is driving ethanol prices below those for unblended gasoline. This pressure is going to increase next year. Ethanol Producer writes that cellulosic alcohol projects, which don't require food crops as fuel, are starting to come on-stream. Science & Enterprise writes that non-fuel crops like castor beans, genetically engineered to be used as fuel, are also heading to market. Venture-funded start-ups like Midori Renewables are preparing new catalysts that get even more fuel sugar from existing feedstocks. So the only recourse left to oil advocates is to attack the the Renewable Fuel Standard that created all this abundance. Take away the bridge, chop off ethanol supplies at the source, and the price pressure on refiners and oil producers may abate.

Oracle Seeks 'Billions' From Google
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Oracle (ORCL) is seeking billions of dollars in damages in the patent suit it's filed against Google (GOOG).
According to a Reuters report, Oracle is claiming that Google's Android operating system infringes on patents related to Java programming technology that Oracle owns through its acquisition of Sun Microsystems in late January 2010.
The Reuters report cited a new court filing in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco.
"The Java software platform is central to this action," Oracle said in the original court filing related to the lawsuit, which was launched shortly after the Sun deal was completed. "The patents at issue claim improvements to the Java technology."Google has claimed that Oracle's damages report is "unreliable and results-oriented," while Oracle has accused Google of attempting to hide the fact that Oracle's proper damages are in the billions, Reuters said. The trial related to the suit is expected to begin in November. Oracle shares closed at $30.80, down 1.16%, as Google trades were flat at $500.37, down 0.5% on Thursday. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York.

Too many side effects for me I am one of those people who have a hard time tolerating medications. I tend to experience every single side effect known to man from them. The first week on Tofranil I had noticed a decrease in my IBS symptoms which had me very excited. My stomach pain decreased tremendously and trips to the restroom went down. However, as with the last TRI I took, my blood pressure went up too high. I had eye pain and headaches as well as sleeplessness. I was also very lethargic and dizzy most of the day. For me they were so bothersome I had to stop taking it. Another unfortunate thing about these anti-depressants is that you cannot take Bentyl and other meds like it while you use it because they can interact with each other.
If you tend to tolerate medication well then I would recommend trying this medication. As I said, it did have a great effect on my IBS in the first week! My hope was that I would be able to not ever have to take another anti-spasmodic again and I believe that would have been possible had it not been for the other side effects.

Build quality isn't all that great, but it hasn't impacted functionality.OtherThoughts:
Not much else to say. This adapter works both for charging and syncing. I only got to test it with the iPhone 5, but it should work fine with the new iPads (mini and 4th generation) either.Bottomline:

NBA 2K13 - Controls Trailer
Learn the basic controls of NBA 2K13 to Too $hort's "Blow the Whistle." What's my favorite word?
NBA 2k12 was an unfinished product, but man... NBA 2k13 is AAA quality.
can wait for this game going to be sick
I really like basketball, but game developes still can't reach nice realistic graphics in games... player hands are to static, look like vooden poles in the air... An in general, looking at movement... slow... such feeling like players are running on ice...
alley oop control sucks
wait a mintue! @ 0:52 it says spin is twirl right stick clockwise, then right after it says that behind the back dribble is twirl the right stick clockwise..... wtf 2k? y you straying away from 2k11 controls?
Honestly, 2K13 will be the best (the only?) basketball game to get. But for me, the ultimate would be a game like Run and Gun 2.
What made this game sick? The character's were huge sprites, the dunks were nasty, and the ring shook when you dunked. It wasn't unrealistic to the point of NBA JAM, but it was heaps more fun than Live or 2K. Dunks Alley oops and Blocks were the game.
Call me old fashioned but I just dont dig starting a season with the Knicks then my Melo gets injured. (true story). And the whole missing lay ups thing I know is realistic, but its a game, should be more about timing and less about statistics.
Anyway Im not bitching, Im gonna get 2K anyway cause its good, but dont disregard what I said, Run and Gun 3 on todays consoles would look and play crazy good.
Half way through I had to hit the mute button. Much better after that.
Yeah 2k12 had a mod with 400 teams, you can just buy a xbox controller, and just play its kind of easy, and the graphics are way better
should have better graphics.
i hope that 2k will make a foot ball game fifa 2k14 its gonna be sick XD
this game needs new engine
where you at nba live13? not gonna be on my shelf sorry......
haha had to put luis scola as the guy drawing charges
...Actually the controls are far more intuitive, in fact you don't need a controller at all, but you need both arms, both legs, the ability to run, dribble, shoot, etc...Oh wait, this is for a video game??? WHY IS THERE A VIDEO GAME SIM FOR SPORTS???
Does anyone actually play spaorts games on a PC? Seems like that would be better suited to a console type game to me. Anyone?
thzat looks damn good.
@phoenix5352 Agree. Look at Gear 1 back in 07 i think.. compare that to Gears 3 its night and day - same console.
Look at 2K7 and it looks.. erm.. the same.. even the announcers still say the same stuff.. over and over.
@PC-lovers95 not going to happen at the end of this gen... my guess there will be one in 2 years
Trolling yes, but I lol'd :)
@tgwolf Obvious troll is obvious.
I played 2K9 and 2K11 on the PC. Works with a 360 controller, I've got my PC hooked up to an HDTV and the graphics are better. Why wouldn't you play it on a PC?
@PC-lovers95 they already said that...
@Keivz_basic @moc5 Awesome mods too.
lol, well it's about time someone commented in here. I was beginning to worry about PC sports games. Dont get me wrong. I've played quite a few sports games in my tme.
Both good points. mmm, you guys convinced me.

There comes a time in everybody's life where they have look themselves in the eye and wonder how strong they are at their core. When this person peels back their veneer and the persona that they show to the world and actually sees what they're made of… Well folks, this episode is one of those tests.
Welcome to a four hour and sixteen minute episode of your favorite Horror Podcast. We're talking about DieMonsterDie's latest album called October 21, 1976. We actually have Meatwhistle, the drummer from the band, stop in for a quick interview (you may know him by the name Shane Diablo). We also do a lot of talking about goat butthole, anillingus, and all sorts of other awful things… you know… the norm. We're talking about The Antichrist, a fairly decent The Exorcist ripoff from 1974.
Enjoy, and may God have mercy on your soul!

DALLAS One person was killed early Monday morning when a vehicle headed in the wrong direction on North Central Expressway slammed into a car near the Hall Street exit in Dallas.
The driver of the SUV that was headed southbound in the northbound lanes was transported to a nearby hospital in unknown condition.
Richardson police officers first spotted the car traveling the wrong way at about 3:30 a.m.. The officers, who were in the southbound lanes, traveled along the other side of the highway in an attempt to stop the driver.
Police were unable to intervene before the SUV clipped a car headed northbound near the Park Lane exit. Dallas police said no one was injured in that incident. However, the driver of the SUV continued to head the wrong direction and slammed head-on into another vehicle near the Hall Street exit.
Dallas police said both drivers were taken to nearby hospitals after they were extracted by firefighters from their vehicles.
Police didn't reveal the condition of the wrong-way driver, but said 51-year-old Jose Portillo the other driver was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Daniel Pesina said he was headed northbound on Central Expressway when he saw the SUV headed towards him.
'The guy appeared out of nowhere,' he said. 'I was going to the left, merging into the next lane behind a vehicle, and I had just enough time to veer off into the median.'
Police said the wrong-way driver, whose identity wasn't released, faces an intoxication manslaughter charge.

One of the most well-known H. P. Lovecraft short stories, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", is brought to sinister life by the Atlantic Radio Theater Company, with their full-audio dramatization. The atmosphere of this performance brings listeners into the Cthulhu Mythos with vivid clarity, combining an excellent trio of performers and tone-setting soundscapes to pull the listener into this tale.
The town of Innsmouth is eerily infamous, and avoided at all costs, since it is rumored to be a decaying settlement of crazed seafaring devil worshipers. But Orin Phillips does not heed this sinister reputation, and in an attempt to be frugal he finds himself stranded in Innsmouth and must either survive the town or fall into the utter madness that lies within it.
There is something wrong in the decayed seacoast town of Innsmouth. Something wrong in the crumbling buildings. Something wrong in the cold deep waters.
Something wrong in the blood.
This is a full-cast, soundscaped audio dramatization of the classic work by one of the masters of horror.

Yasuo Fukuda: A steadier hand for Japan's helm?
Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party hopes the election Sunday of a new party leader will help voters forget his predecessor.
After two weeks of carefully choreographed politicking that followed Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's announcement that he would step down, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) elected Yasuo Fukuda as the party's president Sunday – a move that guarantees his succession to Japan's top post.
Mr. Fukuda is seen as more dovish and less assertive than Mr. Abe. That helped him best his main opponent, Taro Aso, whose closeness to Abe in terms of his nationalist outlook helped boost perceptions of Fukuda as a more conciliatory choice, especially in foreign relations.
"[Fukuda] will probably try to balance continued strong US-Japan relations with more sensitive and closer Japan-Asia relations," says Ellis Krauss, professor of Japanese politics and policymaking at the University of California, San Diego.
After the year-long tenure of Abe, which was marked by public gaffes and damaging missteps, the party was seeking a replacement who looks "more reliable and experienced," say analysts. As a member of the LDP's old vanguard, Fukuda is more closely associated with popular former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, under whom he served as chief cabinet secretary. By contrast, Aso's recent post as foreign minister may have placed him too close to the disgraced former premier.
"The party didn't think they could recover from the disastrous Abe administration without someone very different and not identified with Abe," says Mr. Krauss.
Other analysts suggest that LDP party heavyweights were infuriated by news that Aso had not revealed Abe's intention to step down to senior party officials, despite having had advance knowledge of the prime minister's plans. Some party officials apparently suspect that Aso's silence was a gambit to maneuver into the prime minister's office, say analysts.

A T-bone collision in Calverton sent three women to local hospitals, with one woman being airlifted to Stony Brook University Medical Center "as a precaution," police at the scene said. (more…)
A T-bone collision in Calverton sent three women to local hospitals, with one woman being airlifted to Stony Brook University Medical Center "as a precaution," police at the scene said. (more…)
The driver of a Chevy Suburban escaped serious injury after his vehicle hit a mini school bus on County Road 105, crossed into oncoming traffic and flipped onto its side, police officials at the scene said. (more…)
A 31-year-old Riverhead man died early this morning in an accident on the Long Island Expressway in Queens, according to the NYPD.
Andrew Ingordo, a 2000 Islip High School graduate, was driving on the westbound LIE near Little Neck Parkway about 4:50 a.m. when he struck the back of a flatbed truck that had swerved to the right shoulder to avoid cars ahead of it that had suddenly stopped, police said.
Mr. Ingordo, who was driving a Ford van, was pronounced dead on the scene, police said.
Both vehicles remained at the scene and no other injuries were reported, police said. The investigation is ongoing.
A woman was taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center after a two-car accident on Main Road in Jamesport Saturday afternoon, Riverhead Town police said. The injuries were non life-threatening, police said.
The woman, driving a Honda Accord, was making a left out of Herricks Lane when she collided with a Toyota Prius heading westbound on Main Road about 2:45 p.m., police said. Traffic was briefly blocked going westbound.
Both cars were towed from the scene.
A man was airlifted to an area hospital after a one-car accident on Flanders Road Saturday afternoon, officials said.
A green sedan traveling westbound crossed into the oncoming lane and crashed into a utility pole near Whitebrook Drive just after 2:30 p.m., said Riverhead Volunteer Fire Department chief Joseph Raynor.
Flanders-Northampton Ambulance officials declined to comment on the nature of the man's injuries, saying only that he was being airlifted to Stony Brook University Medical Center.
Southampton Town police diverted eastbound traffic down Whitebrook Drive for about a half hour following the crash.
In just one weekend, three men found themselves facing drunken driving charges after allegedly fleeing the scenes of unrelated car accidents in the Riverhead area.
Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota has been pushing for stronger penalties for drivers who flee the scenes of serious accidents, saying that when drivers aren't caught until much later, investigators are often unable to prove they were under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time.
But even drunken drivers who leave the scenes of crashes that don't involve injuries can avoid a more serious DWI charge by eluding police. This creates an incentive for offenders to flee but creates more problems for those who may be left footing repair bills.
"It's easy to get away, especially if you did a number on the person you're hitting," said Michael Sabolinski, a civil attorney with Schwartzapfel Partners of Jericho and a former Nassau County assistant district attorney.
Mr. Spota says he has seen an increase in hit-and-run accidents over the last few years.
The first of the crashes this weekend occurred Saturday night in Aquebogue, where a seafood delivery truck driver smashed into the back of a car he was tailgating before driving away, authorities said. The driver, Brian Pressler of Southold, was arrested minutes later, at about 8 p.m., on Main Road in Laurel, where he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, Southold police said.
He was later issued a citation from Riverhead police for leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, a traffic infraction. Riverhead police said Mr. Pressler had his high beams on and was tailgating a brown Honda at the intersection of Main Road and Edgar Avenue when he rear-ended the vehicle. He was released without bail.
Less than three hours after the Laurel crash, a Riverhead man was arrested after leaving the scene of an accident on Wildwood Trail in Northampton, in which he and another person were injured, Southampton Town police said.
Gregory Lee, 43, was involved in a two-car crash shortly after 11 p.m., officials said. He drove off from the scene, but responding cops canvassed the area and found him intoxicated a short distance from the crash, police said. Both Mr. Lee and the driver of the other car were taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Mr. Lee was charged with DWI and leaving the scene of an accident with injuries, a misdemeanor, police said.
He was taken from the hospital to police headquarters and has since been released on $750 cash bail.
Then on Sunday night, a Riverhead man who fled the scene of a single-car accident in Riverside was arrested on a DWI charge after cops caught up with him at his Ludlam Avenue house soon after, Southampton police said.
Paul Ciochetto, 44, drove from the 11 p.m. crash scene near Flanders Road in a 2008 Toyota Yaris, police said.
After police found him at his home, Mr. Ciochetto admitted to driving his car, but claimed not to have realized he'd been involved in an accident, cops said.
Police determined Mr. Ciochetto was drunk and arrested him at his home, officials said. He was charged with DWI, leaving the scene of an accident with property damage and traffic violations, police said. He was released without bail, police said.
An unlicensed Brooklyn man was arrested for drunken driving and a slew of other charges after crashing into two vehicles — including a Riverhead cop car on Sound Avenue, town police said.
The crash happened at the same time but was unrelated to Monday evening's big All for the East End concert at Martha Clara Vineyards, police said.
Police received a 911 call about an erratic driver speeding eastbound about 9:15 p.m., according to a report.
Theodore Gavalez, 46, allegedly crashed into one vehicle and continued to drive eastbound when he crashed into an unmarked police unit being driven by Lt. David Lessard, police said. Police said Mr. Gavalez was not a concertgoer.
Lt. Lessard was not injured during the incident, officials said.
Mr. Gavalez was arrested for DWI, as well as third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle, resisting arrest, and leaving the scene of two motor vehicle accidents, according to a report.
He was arraigned Tuesday morning and released after posting $10,000 bail, police said.
Mr. Gavalez was due back in court Wednesday.
Nine people, including four children, were injured when a school bus rear-ended a pick-up truck on West Main Street Wednesday morning, Riverhead police said.
A 1999 GMC Sierra was driving east when the car in front of it made a left turn about 11:20 a.m. near Raynor Avenue, police said. The truck stopped, but the school bus behind it kept driving and collided with the back of the truck, police at the scene said.
Riverhead police and ambulance teams rushed to the scene, where the driver of the truck — identified by police as Gilberto Tascon, 59, of Hampton Bays — four chaperones and four children on the bus were injured, though not seriously. The injured children were between between 6 and 12 years old.
The victims were taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center for treatment of "minor injuries," police said.
The bus was transporting 32 kids and nine adults from a Bronx YMCA to the Long Island Aquarium.
Police and ambulance volunteers are currently evaluating the other children and adults on the bus to check for more injuries. Riverhead Ambulance chief Joey Oliver said the children have to be medically cleared, but there were no serious injuries.
The Wading River, Mattituck, and Mastic Fire Departments, as well as the Manorville Volunteer Ambulance Corps also responded to the scene.
Police inspected the bus, but issued no summons to either driver, according to a police statement.

Just found this article on slashdot. Some 11 year old in the US has been helping out the staff and recommending stuff for their network.
Good stuff for the kid but I think that it is a standard case of the media blowing stuff out of proportion. I was practically a network admin at my school at 11 and I'm sure that at least a few of the others on here were to.

Is The NBC "Evening News" Anchor Chair Next For Gregory?
In this weekend's PARADE magazine, one reader asks the "Personality Parade":
NBC White House Correspondent David Gregory seems to be a rising star. How far, in your opinion, is he likely to go?
"Walter Scott" (really Edward Klein) writes back:
Gregory, 36, is the golden boy of NBC News. He's filled in for Today's Matt Lauer, MSNBC's Chris Matthews and Don Imus before he was fired. We think the strapping, 6-foot-5 newsman has anchor material written all over him.
Gregory also filled in for Tim Russert on yesterday's "Meet the Press."
What do you think?

Better than coming back from the dead as roll of toilet paper, right?
We once had a neighbor named Sean. He mowed his lawn, paid his bills, and was super nice to everyone. Given the easy-going feel of the DC Men's Sean Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt it leads us to believe he may have been reincarnated in cotton. Don't let that freak you out though; Sean was really good with the ladies too. Zip up this hooded sweatshirt and you might just acquire some of his magical "gettin' down" mojo.

Longmire (10pm, A&E) - If you're looking for a good show to take on where the catch-up wouldn't be too time-consuming (10 episodes in the first season and 13 in the second), this should be high on your list. Based on a set of mystery novels by Craig Johnson, this modern western crime drama follows Walt Longmire ( Robert Taylor), sheriff of a small town in Wyoming, as he adjusts to life and work after the death of his wife. The third season starts tonight, with Walt dealing with the aftermath of his friend Henry's arrest and the shooting of his deputy, Branch. In fact, in honor of the season premiere, I'm giving away a couple of Craig Johnson's books. If you'd like "A Serpent's Tooth" or "Any Other Name" (both in the Longmire series), email me at firstname.lastname@example.com by midnight on Tuesday (June 3), and I'll do a random drawing. Specify which book you're interested in and include your mailing address.
Louie (10pm, FX) - In tonight's episodes, Louie succumbs to Mother Nature and later, is on the rebound.
Ladies of London (10pm, Bravo) - A new reality series tracing the dramas of British socialites and American transplants living in England.
Mistresses (10pm, ABC) - Yes, I know. I can't believe this got a second season, either. But it did, and tonight's the opener. Savi finds a new lease on life after her brush with death, while Karen struggles to overcome some setbacks and Joss becomes a party planner.

Padres lose closer Street to calf strain
Down 7-1 after another brutal and brief outing by Edinson Volquez, — 3 1/3 innings, four walks — the Padres jumped on 10-game winner James McDonald for six runs with one out in the top of the fifth inning. In order, a walk to Cameron Maybin, single by John Baker, double by pinch-hitter Jesus Guzman and singles by Alexi Amarista and Everth Cabrera led to a game-tying three-run blast into the right-field seats by Headley.
Wow factor? Not this strange year. Five times already in 2012, the Padres have scored a half-dozen runs in a half-inning, and three of those bursts came in a game where the opponent had scored five runs in an earlier turn at-bat. Moreover, last year, the weak-hitting Padres came into PNC and scored 35 runs in a three-game sweep.
Atypically, Volquez had a 1-0 lead after one inning. Typically, Volquez was as much his own enemy as the Pirates, who don't need the help anymore. He walked four — including the opposing pitcher twice — and gave up two homers before departing after 91 pitches in just 3 1/3 innings.
For starters, the Pirates got their first look at 5-foot-4 Alexi Amarista, who no doubt erased the first impression right quickly, sending McDonald's second pitch of the game over the right-field wall. It was the fourth time this season a Padres hitter had led off a game with a homer.
Amarista then helped save a run in the bottom of the inning, diving far to his right for a grounder up the middle that might've allowed Starling Marte to score from second had it gone through. Instead, Yonder Alonso threw out Marte at the plate on a grounder to first and made an unassisted play on Neil Walker's grounder to keep the Bucs scoreless.
Therein is a bit of irony. Volquez's real bugaboo, besides the fact that he walks more batters than any pitcher in the bigs, is a career-long habit of allowing first-inning runs. This time, the first was the only inning in which he wasn't scored upon.

Huskies try their best to impress NFL scouts
UConn holds Pro Day (with VIDEO report)
|Connecticut players run drills during the first day of the team's spring NCAA college football practice, Tuesday, March 20, 2012, in Storrs, Conn. (AP)
STORRS — Former UConn offensive tackle Mike Ryan pushed his way through 32 repetitions of 225 pounds in the bench press Wednesday. More than 30 NFL scouts witnessed it during the Huskies' annual Pro Day at the Shenkman Center.
Defensive back Gary Wilburn, who didn't see a tremendous amount of game action with the Huskies, posted a 4.46-second 40-yard dash time and ripped off a vertical leap of 39 inches.
Ryan would have been in the top 15 had he been invited to the NFL combine. Wilburn's 40 time would have turned heads had he been at the combine and his vertical leap was not that far off the 43.5 inches former UConn receiver Kashif Moore posted at the combine to win the event.
The trick now for Ryan and Wilburn, and the handful of other ex-Huskies who participated, is to somehow parlay their good work Wednesday into either a draft position or a free-agent training camp invitation.
"These guys are doing some good work," said former UConn defensive tackle Kendall Reyes, who was invited to the combine and performed well. "The combine tells you that scouts have had their eyes on you, but these guys who weren't invited can play, too. This is a good chance for them to show that and maybe get scouts to look harder at them."
Reyes is projected as a late first-round or early second-round pick. He didn't do any of the timing or measurable drills, such as the 40-yard dash, bench press or standing long jump, but he joined with fellow defensive tackle Twyon Martin to run through positional drills.
Moore also performed well enough at the combine to take part in only positional drills. His stock shot up at the combine in Indianapolis enough so that he could be a mid-round choice despite standing just 5-foot-9 and weighing 180 pounds. Kicker Dave Teggart, another combine performer, took part in only the bench press Wednesday.
Center Moe Petrus, defensive back Harris Agbor and running back Jonathan Jean-Louis also took part in the workout. Reyes was the focus of the day, but everybody who participated showed at least something. That's the best they can do at this point.
"I'm just trying to give (the scouts) something they might notice," said Agbor, who is coming off a knee injury but has degrees in political science and international studies to jump-start his future. "I understand I'm probably not a guy who'll get drafted, but I think I could get a chance in the free-agent market somewhere.
"It's kind of nerve-wracking. You get one day to show what you have and you can't have a bad day. But you have to make the best of it and enjoy it. A lot of people don't get this chance."

I find myself in an interesting position.
I am an ex-school network manager. Up until I left 7 years ago, I ran an RM Connect system.
When I arrived at the school, they used exclusively RM kit, but during my time there we opted for different hardware suppliers for the clients, maintaining the RM back end.
I am now governor at my kids' school (a primary). They use a Connect network too, although things have moved on quite a bit from v2.4 . . . . .
Perhaps unsurprisingly I am the link governor for ICT, and have been asked to review a quote for 20 new PC's.
It's what I suspect is still the usual story - as the school has only ever used RM kit, they went to RM for the quote and sought no alternatives.
One of my colleagues on the governing body has links with a secondary school that buys Stone kit, and is in favour of sourcing the new PC's from Stone as they will likely be cheaper.
The thing that concerns me is the management - while I would of course like to go with the cheapest supplier (which I believe is unlikely to be RM), the school has only 3 hours of technician time per week, so support is going to be an issue. I recall from my own network management days that there was quite some work to be done to integrate other vendors' kit with the RM system, and while I'd happily recommend doing so if the IT support was full time, I am concerned that with such sparse cover that support issues involved would cause issues for the teaching staff.
I was wondering if anyone had any comments/recommendations on this they would be prepared to share.

A friend here on Spark gave me a great suggestion about strength training -- to find a program specifically made for chefs. I realized that I can actually create one myself -- I know what I do in a kitchen, I just need to substitute weights for the pans I'm usually holding. Thank you! That might make strength training be more fun and relevant, and easier to get back into.
Yesterday I came to Spark for the first time since April. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't had the time since then -- I've had down time, and time I've spent on the computer. I just haven't been actively pursuing my fitness goals.
At the end of April I started working as a cook for a golf club. This turned into a 40-hour a week job, on top of school. That was an adjustment! Even though I theoretically had more time when school ended for the term, I was more than willing to use those days as days off. In fact, I'd say that I needed the days off. Then, in September, school started again and so did the time crunch.
My job is now over for the season, so I only have school and legal work. I *do* have legal work, but it's not as physically demanding/exhausting as working in a kitchen is. For the first time in ages, I feel like I'm capable of paying attention to my health and fitness. At the same time, though, I'm incredibly scared/resistant.
Working in a kitchen was incredibly physically demanding. I built muscles from actual use, not strength training. I started looking much trimmer, even though I didn't lose pounds, because I built muscle as I lost fat. I needed to eat much more salt than I used to, just to keep from being dehydrated. And now ... that's over for the moment.
So, now, I need to start intentionally exercising again. I'm no longer on my feet, moving and lifting for 40 hours a week. I need to work my body to keep those fitness gains from being lost again. That's sort of scary right now. I feel like I don't know where to start, though I know that's not actually true. I feel lost and confused, though I have plenty to keep me busy.
I'm also up 10 lbs from where I was in April.
I know why -- I'm eating salt and not sweating it out, so I'm retaining water like a sponge. I also still have the muscle I built, but am regaining the fat on top of it. I'm worried that I'm on the path to where I was 5 years ago, and am letting that paralyze me. I'm compulsively eating again, after months of being abstinent. And so I'm back here, to, to try to get myself moving in a positive direction again.
I haven't been on Spark much lately, but then again I haven't had much of an online presence anywhere. Big changes have been happening and I've been doing my best to just hang on!
The biggest change: I'm enrolled in culinary school!
What started as wanting to meet with an admissions counselor to find out more about the Continuing Education program at Johnson & Wales University quickly turned into doing everything necessary to enroll and begin taking classes during the March term. I had a whirlwind few weeks and am only now beginning to feel like things are slowing down.
In the CE program, I only have classes on Sundays this term -- but I'm in class from 7am to 6:30pm. There's also reading and homework to do in between classes, plus studying for quizzes and exams. This week I'm preparing for the final exam in this first segment of classes, then I'll move on to the next class. On the one hand, it doesn't feel like I'm really in school. On the other, it's still taking a huge toll on my week. I generally spend Monday recovering from Sunday's class, then spend the rest of the week trying to catch up with everything I haven't done over the past 6 weeks. I know I need to just breathe and try to start fresh where I am right now, but even that feels overwhelming at times.
I've also taken up baking sourdough bread. I know that that's a risky thing, but it feels *wonderful*. There's something about working with bread dough that's wonderfully therapeutic for me, and sourdough is just magical. I'm still working on portion control, but that's less of a problem if I slice and freeze half a loaf right at the start. There are so many things that I'm still learning!
I've been feeling better, healthwise -- I think Vitamin D was the culprit. It turns out that I wasn't taking supplements with fat, so all the fat-soluble vitamin was being flushed right out of my system. My body should be even happier now that the sun has returned in force!
Speaking of which, I'm looking forward to grilling again. It's so much easier for me to focus on healthy eating when I can just open the back door and fire-up the grill. Over the winter I still want to eat heavy, hearty meals. Yes, I do know how to make those in a healthy manner, but they don't even feel healthy -- even when they are.
So there it is. I've had to stop going to WW meetings because of cost, so I'm on precarious ground. Being back in school is triggering compulsive eating behaviours that I hadn't even realized I had, so I know it would be easy for me to backslide big time. I won't, though -- I *will* focus on fitness again and get down to 199 lbs by the middle of June. I need to be carrying less weight on my feet while I'm in class, and I need to be getting outdoors while the weather is perfect for it. And so it will be!
I'm knocking on wood as I say this, but I've exercised at least an hour over each of the past 3 days and haven't been hit with fatigue yet. I haven't been bouncing up and down like I usually would be with this much exercise, but I'm not lying flat in bed, either. I'm willing to settle for where things are, for now at least.
I'm playing with the composition of my meals. Specifically I'm making my breakfasts higher in protein and lower in carbs, and trying to keep lunch fairly low carb as well. I wouldn't say that it's affecting my energy much, then again I'm not passed out in the afternoons so maybe it is. Hopefully I'll get my thyroid results soon and we can try raising my dosage a little. If that doesn't work then I'll move on to other theories, but I'd like to at least see if my instinct is correct before doing that.

More old regime BlackBerry executives fired
New CEO John Chen took over for Thorsten Heins early this month when the company's privatization deal with its largest stockholder failed to get financing. BlackBerry settled for a $1 billion infusion via the sale of convertible debt. Chen said in a statement on Monday that BlackBerry still has a strong cash position. But as the new management group takes over, it is not unusual to see those associated with the failure of the previous regime lose their jobs.
As we told you last week, BlackBerry's next earnings report is scheduled to be released on the morning of December 20th. Since the last report for the second quarter included a massive $930 million to $950 million write down of BlackBerry Z10 inventory, it should be interesting to see what BlackBerry reports for the period.

Shutting down the company ASAP will be the best for everyone.

Are you saying you will hire 5000+ employees when they lose their jobs?
8. downphoenix (Posts: 2416; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
and where do you propose these high tech jobs will be filled at?
2. Finalflash (Posts: 1912; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
I don't know why they keep going on and on about their strong cash position. Tell us something else that is good because your cash position won't be strong for long. Just because you have cash doesn't mean you will survive, bigger fish have fallen with bigger reserves. They need to update their followers with the direction of their company with an actual plan, not "we plan to live, and we have strong cash position".
5. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5955; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
As you observe, without sales, the cash position dissolves with ongoing operating expenses.
At least an attempt is being made to clear out the remnants of the old team who were so successful in driving the company into the ground. But net-net, BB is going to have to come up with a new business model. Otherwise, it is over.
4. kennyblack_sd (Posts: 26; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
Hmmm, I believe things will get better after this tough decision. I still love my Q5 no matter what the report is on 20th of Dec. I will always stay true to my brand no matter how many bad news about BlackBerry on phoneArena
6. BillyG (Posts: 305; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
good for you, hopefully you and 10 other Q5 users can help bb raise from its death...
7. victory_zhou (Posts: 38; Member since: 03 Oct 2013)
So do I I still love my q10 than any other phone although it don't have the best spec but it work very extremely well with BlackBerry 10 os

Good article of non-biased reporting . . . Even trying to cover your tracks with your reference to your last backhanded BlackBerry post . . .

Fraud claims
Previous elections have been tarnished with fraud claims and organisational problems since Mathieu Kerekou, a military ruler and former Marxist, introduced multi-party democracy in 1991.
A shooting attack on Yayi's convoy as he returned from an election campaign rally in the north of the country raised questions over the president's security.
Yayi said the attack was an assassination attempt by those opposed to his anti-corruption campaign.
A former head of the West African Development Bank whose election ended more than three decades of rule by a political clique, Yayi has made fighting corruption a cornerstone of his plan to revive Benin's cotton-based economy.

These wipes are so uncomfortable! They hurt my face, I don't recommend this to anyone
Ouch ouch ouch they hurt and do not at all remove eye make up will never buy again !!!

i know these are exfoliating but... they are ROUGH! also, they are drier to the touch than most other wipes i have tried. i will absolutely not repurchase these- i hate them!
I love Simple's cleansing wipes, so I bought these exfoliating wipes (darker green packaging) to try when I was running low. Big mistake! These wipes are rough compared to the regular cleansing wipes, especially on and around the eye area. If you use this on the rest of your face it should be okay unless you have sensitive skin, but I'd still steer clear of any blemishes because this wipe may aggravate them. I was too lazy to return them so now I use them to clean my makeup brushes and to wipe down sweat after working out, but I wouldn't rebuy these for removing facial makeup. I'm sticking to the cleansing wipes (in the light green packaging) from now on!
I know these are exfoliating wipes but they are super rough on my face! It's much rougher than, say, the St Ives Apricot Scrub. The formula of the cleanser that's on the wipes is nice though so I'll definitely try the "cleansing" wipes. As for the rest of the exfoliating wipes I have left? I think I'll use them for scrubbing my feet after a day of wearing sandals.
I know a lot of people get frustrated with these because they don't remove makeup well but that's because they're for exfoliating! I use these twice a week before bed after I have removed my makeup. They do leave my skin red but in the mornings the redness is gone and my face feels a lot smoother. I don't recommend using these more than 2-3 times a week. Again if you're looking for something to take off makeup then these are not for you.
these are just okay in my opinion. I like to use them just to refresh my makeup so I don't have to wash my entire face - I give everything a good wipe down and even though there's still some makeup left on my skin, there's not so much that reapplication makes me look cakey (as I would had I not removed my makeup at all). and I like that they're vegan and cruelty-free.
bottom line: these are good but don't expect them to replace any other skincare products you have; they're more of a supplement than anything else.
