HERAT PROVINCE, Afghanistan -- The Afghan government, working with coalition Special Operations Forces, recently reintroduced a radio literacy program throughout Afghanistan.
To nourish Afghan citizens' excitement about education, link the government to its people and increase the populous' listenership to the radio, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan implemented the Radio Literacy Program.
The radio has been the primary source of news, current events and entertainment, and provides opportunities for citizens to communicate with local law enforcement and now GIRoA is also offering basic-level education over the airwaves.
As illiteracy is common throughout Afghanistan, citizens of all ages and genders are participating in the program from the comfort of their own home. Villagers in provinces throughout the country are tuning in their radios during certain evenings to follow along with the program.
During the last four months, more than 28,000 books have been distributed throughout the country, which is a 350 percent increase compared to the same time last year, with more books being produced in Afghanistan, Qatar and the U.S. to meet the ever growing demand.
RLP workbooks are distributed to the villagers by Afghan Local Police, ministers of education and village elders. Then, villagers listen to the radio and follow along with the lessons in their workbooks. The villagers' progression is tracked by their RLP mentors, who are ALP leaders, teachers, mullahs, or government officials.
"Some villages focus more on children, due to the lack of regular schools," said a coalition SOF team member. "However, adults are also encouraged to participate, and do, in most villages."
For some villages, the ALP is the main facilitator for the program, by not only distributing the workbooks, but also tutoring participants and mentoring the success of the program in their area.
In the Sanowghan village, Shindand province, the ALP commander recently addressed education to the public during a call-in show.
"Education is important in [the Zerekoh valley]," he said. "Anyone that wants to participate in the program should stop by [an ALP checkpoint] and we will collect the names, so we can obtain more RLP books for them."
The next day, 40 workbooks were immediately distributed and the ALP was requesting more books to satisfy villagers' increasing desire to participate.
Meanwhile, in Badghis province, Aq Murad, the Bala Morghab Minister of Education, distributed at least 50 workbooks to villagers and a women's literacy group.
"By doing this, the ALP and ministers of education show citizens the Afghan government's concern for improving Afghan lives," said the coalition SOF team member.
As more citizens listen to the radio, they will become generally more informed, the coalition SOF team member added. They will connect more with their district and provincial government and be able to communicate with the ALP and GIRoA through call-in shows.
Coalition SOF studies show Afghan citizens throughout the country are increasingly participating in the literacy program and displaying very positive results. More citizens are calling in to their local radio station and being able to discuss current conditions of the village as a result of the RLP's success.
"Through RLP, communication and knowledge will increase between GIRoA and the people of Afghanistan," said the coalition SOF team member.
During a call-in radio show, a Sanowghan villager spoke about how the RLP is allowing citizens to talk about the ALP.
"The relationship between the villagers and ALP has improved because [the citizens] are able to voice their complaints to the ALP over the radio, causing the ALP to be more respectful to citizens," he said.
"The positive ALP news stories and the commanders talking on the radio make the locals more comfortable with the ALP," said the Sanowghan ALP commander.
The Sanowghan ALP commander also said communication between the Afghan citizens and their government is cultivated by education and their ability to access it through the same medium: by listening to the radio.
"All of the children are very excited about RLP and it will greatly help their future," said the Sanowghan ALP commander. "The students think education is important and are committed to finishing the program."
The program teaches basic literacy, but is also intended to instill the desire for further education and its pursuit, through GIRoA.
"Without exception, villagers throughout the [country support] the program," said the SOF team member. "They have said that the programs are easy to follow and all participants intend to stick with it."

Which Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Star Should Return?
With Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills wrapping up its season and gearing up for a sure-to-be dramatic three-part reunion special, we've come to the conclusion that the newbies — Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia — just didn't do it for us this year. Perhaps what we could use is a familiar face to rejoin the core cast? During the Monday's (March 11) finale episode, Wetpaint Entertainment asked Viggle LIVE! users which former cast member — between Taylor Armstrong, Camille Grammer, and Adrienne Maloof — would be your top choice to make a comeback. The results are in, and there isn't a clear winner.
Only 7 percent of Viggle users want to see Taylor return to the reality show, which is a bummer because she was always entertaining. When it came to Adrienne and Camille, however, it was almost a tie. Adrienne slightly edged out Camille with 47 percent versus 46 percent, but it's clear that there is a definite audience that wants both of these ladies back! We'd love to see any (or all) of these ladies return — but we're just being super nostalgic for the good ol' days. The original ladies had such a connection and their drama was so real, not petty like some of the happenings these days. Now that another season has come and gone, it's time to see which ladies will stick around and which will be cast, ahem, return.

I don't think they use Bittorrent. Just because it's p2p doesn't mean it's bittorrent. Additionally, they have the p2p network just in case they need it. So, for example, if you listen to a song it attempts to download and cache it, and if someone else listens to the same song after you there is a chance that they will download portions of that file from you.
Apparently Netflix does "several terabits/sec" in the USA. Let's say 5 Tb/s. That's 5000 gigabit/s. So each server would be sending out 100 gigabit/s. That's really impressive for an Amazon VM!
In reality, Netflix has thousands of VMs in multiple Amazon EC2 zones. On top of that, they install local cache servers at ISPs around the world.
Via a cursory web search, I couldn't find clear mention that they had already deployed systemd across their Squeeze installations, only that they endorsed systemd as their preferred init system moving forward, but it's certainly possible. I know that systemd is included in Wheezy as a technology preview, but perhaps Spotify's engineers ported it to Squeeze.
It is apparent that they were already considering transitioning to Ubuntu at the time of Spotify's infrastructure team's comment to the bug report (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7078301).

It's not exactly what they need. They need a way to transfer arbitrary chunks based on a certain song, which bittorrent technically provides but not really. A simpler, more cost effective, more reliable system would instead have a metadata server that would maintain who has which song and when it makes a lightweight request to the metadata server it would receive a list of peers who have that, and download chunks from those peers. It's similar to bittorrent but realistically so is every p2p protocol because that's the way it's done. If I can think it up in 20 seconds while writing this post I'm sure the engineers are spotify could think something up that would fit their needs much better than bittorrent (having the metadata servers or trackers being more lightweight and such since it doesn't need all of what bittorrent has).
Ultimately I know that spotify uses my bandwidth and I don't care. It doesn't use much (in fact it very rarely uses any at all).

LTS is not just about stable software versions. One of the problems with using Debian stable in a business environment is that Debian does not do hardware enablement for stable releases. Imagine that a company procures a new model of servers that have some recent hardware that is not supported by Debian stable.. Now you have a problem. There are workarounds, like building your own install ISOs with back ported kernels, but then you have to assign an employee to do that work. And you have to assign an employee the job of tracking security updates for your back ported kernels. And back porting fixes for your installer ISO. So, it is all possible, but it is a hard sell against "let's just use Ubuntu and let them work about all of that stuff".
That's a good point but generally if you're going with a stable kernel, you should probably be going with stable hardware and it's not terribly hard to do this in a sever environment.
I dunno, I'm making a rather big assumption that their environment is resonably automated and uniform though, could be totally wrong.

Britons are listening to more German music in the third year of World War II than ever before in their history. This curious state of affairs reflects a surprising wartime swing in British popular taste from dance music to concert music of which Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and Wagner are still the main staples.
Vaguely people feel that this sudden shift is somehow due to the war, to a longing to escape through music from realities that have become so harsh and drab, to a revived sense of the nearness of death which lies...

Having lived most of my life in the northeast U.S., I am enjoying retired life in sunny Florida. I enjoy photographing many different kinds of things, but especially flowers and animals, including the beautiful birds found here in Florida. I am currently using a Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D camera, a Canon 55-250 mm telescopic zoom lens, and a Sony P10 Cyber-shot digital camera. My newest acquisition is a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, a point and shoot which I will be carrying in my purse.

->''"They called for me and I went to them. I could not do otherwise. The will of the whole of humanity
->was a strong thing. It smashed through the ties of time and the chains of space and dragged me to
-->--From '''The Eternal Champion'''
SpeculativeFiction author of roughly 80 novels and short stories collections. Combines a graphic and powerful imagination with an often frustrating inability to resolve a plot except by DeusExMachina.
In the 1960s he became editor of ''New Worlds'' magazine, evolving its format from a fairly conservative science fiction magazine into an anarchic counter-cultural outlet, bringing a much-needed waft of swinging-London "hipness" and progressive sensibility to fantastic and fantasy fiction and touching off the NewWaveScienceFiction movement.
Most of his work centers around the concept of the "Eternal Champion"; a being who undergoes repeated incarnations throughout time, and is destined to maintain [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil the balance between Law and Chaos]]-- whether [[IJustWantToBeNormal he wants to or not]]. Many of his earlier works were written as stand-alone works; but have been [[CanonWelding retroactively added to the Eternal Champion mythology]], mainly through later crossovers.
The Eternal Champion commonly has a sidekick of some sort, if only briefly. Just as the Champion has many incarnations, so does the sidekick, and is commonly referred to as the Eternal Companion. The nature of the Companion varies, from HypercompetentSidekick, to TheWatson, to DistressedDamsel, to almost pure comic relief. The various sidekicks are also commonly more down-to-earth than the Champion; and frequently GenreSavvy, being aware of the nature of TheMultiverse, the Champion, and themselves.
The Eternal Champion also has a (typically doomed) love-interest: the Eternal Consort. Their love affair is often doomed because of the interference of the Eternal Enemy, who has manifested in many forms: quite often with dark desires for the Consort. the Enemy has been Yyrkoon, evil cousin of Elric; Frank Cornelius, the evil brother/cousin of Jerry Cornelius; Johannes Klosterheim, who usually appears in more "modern" stories and generally represents a corrupt and depraved figure of apparent order, and sometimes appears as TheDragon or TheStarscream to Gaynor; and reaches his epitome as Gaynor, Prince of the Damned. (There is a suggestion that Gaynor is a manifestation of the Eternal Champion who went "wrong" in some way, becoming the Champion's evil counterpart. When Corum tears the helmet from Gaynor's face, it mutates through untold changes and faces - including, briefly, Corum's - before he dies, leaving his Chaos-armour empty).
He strongly dislikes Creator/JRRTolkien's works despite having met him personally and finding him sympathetic on a personal level (although he has also stated that certain accounts have overstated his dislike of Tolkien's works; notably, he did use ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' as a favourable reference point for the inventiveness of Creator/UrsulaKLeGuin's ''Literature/TheLeftHandOfDarkness''. However, there is also the essay "[[http://www.revolutionsf.com/article.php?id=953 Epic Pooh]]", which spells out what he ''does'' dislike about Tolkien's works). He also loathes [[http://flag.blackened.net/liberty/moorcock.html C.S. Lewis and Robert Heinlein]]. These people's opinions on him are unreported. On the other hand he greatly admires Mervyn Peake and considered the ''Literature/{{Gormenghast}}'' trilogy an injustly-overlooked masterpiece.
He cannot multiply 13 by 13 and get an accurate result. This is a flaw shared by his editors. Assuming he has editors.
He has also written songs for Music/BlueOysterCult and Music/{{Hawkwind}} and occasionally performed with the latter band. During his brush with Hawkwind he seems to have befriended Lemmy Kilmister, who later went on to found hard rock/heavy metal seminal ensemble Music/{{Motorhead}}. He has dedicated a recently-released Hawkmoon omnibus to "his friend Lemmy".
Some members of Hawkwind helped him record a music album under the name of "Michael Moorcock and the Deep Fix" (in the mid-70s). When, with the advent of Internet, enough fans began pestering him for a reissue he made his own personal copy downloadable from his website (the masters apparently having been forever lost). A CD (Dojo Limited [=DOJOCD88=]) was released in 1995, audio source unknown (although the sound quality isn't bad).
He has also written comics plots which have been illustrated by Walt Simonson and contributed a few issues to Alan Moore's "Tom Strong".
He is one of a number of writers that Creator/GamesWorkshop (and TSR) ripped off shamelessly. But Games Workshop had the courage to at least credit him in a backhanded way (''and thanks to Michael Moorcock, whose fault all this is'').
A longtime fan of ''Series/DoctorWho'', Moorcock was commissioned by the BBC to write a Who novel, ''The Coming of the Terraphiles, or Pirates of the Second Aether!!'' (2010).
Lifelong [[UsefulNotes/{{Anarchism}} anarchist]].
A highly prolific writer, most of his works fit into collections revolving around a particular incarnation of the Eternal Champion; although there are a few stand-alone works. Many of his earlier works were later incorporated into the Eternal Champion mythology.
!! Some examples of the Eternal Champion works below:
* ''Literature/TheElricSaga'' (Elric of Melnibone)
* ''The Eternal Champion Saga'' (Erekosë / John Daker)
* ''Literature/TheHistoryOfTheRunestaff'' (Dorian Hawkmoon)
* ''Count Brass'' (Earl Aubec)
* ''Literature/TheCorneliusChronicles'' (Jerry Cornelius)
* ''The Dancers at the End of Time'' (Jherek Carnelian)
* ''TheChroniclesOfCorum'' (Corum Jhaelen Irsei)
* ''A Nomad of the Time Streams'' (Oswald Bastable)
* ''Von Bek'' (various members of the von Bek family)
* ''The Second Ether'' (Jack Karaquazian)
* ''Behold the Man'' (Karl Glogauer)
* ''Kane of Old Mars'' (Michael Kane)
!! Notable works not part of the Eternal Champion mythology:
* ''Behold the Man'' (Not originally an Eternal Champion novel, it was later [[CanonWelding retconned in]]).
* ''Gloriana, or, The Unfulfill'd Queen''
* ''Mother London''
* ''The Pyat Quartet'' (a.k.a. ''Between the Wars'')
!!Michael Moorcock's works provide examples of:
* {{Anorgasmia}}: In ''Gloriana'' the titular queen is forever bemoaning the fact that she can't have orgasms, and because of the palace's peculiar acoustics the entire court can hear her. Of course, when she finally does the entire court gets to hear that as well.
* AntiHero: Nearly every one of his main characters pretty much defines a type of anti-hero; covering all variations.
* [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil Balance Between Order And Chaos]]: The Eternal Champion exists to maintain the Balance.
* BlessedWithSuck / CursedWithAwesome: Depending on the particular protagonist, they will typically view their situation as one of these two, if not both. The most notable example is Elric's EmpathicWeapon; which makes him nearly invincible, able to kill even gods, but also has a tendency to kill his nearest and dearest at every available opportunity.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: When morality is not gray or black, many characters and settings tend to have this sort; especially if they're non-human.
* CanonWelding: Originally named "The Moorcock Effect". Key early examples in Moorcock's work are:
** Two of the sections of ''The Final Programme'' (the opening section and the third one dealing with the Newman diary) are obvious rewritings in a superspy environment of the early Elric stories "The Dreaming City" and "While the Gods Laugh".
** The first Erekose novel, ''The Eternal Champion'', is the most explicit early statement of the Eternal Champion concept and names several of the other versions.
** The "Agak and Gagak" incident, in which four versions of the Champion are [[CrisisCrossover summoned]] to deal with a threat to the whole Multiverse, is depicted from Hawkmoon's point of view in the novel ''The Quest for Tanelorn'' and from Elric's in the novel ''The Sailor on the Seas of Fate''.
** Later on, ''The Coming of the Terraphiles'' is an officially-licensed crossover between ''Series/DoctorWho'' and Moorcock's "Second Ether" stories, and explicitly identifies the Doctor as an avatar of the Eternal Champion.
* CaptainErsatz: In Moorcock's more {{Steampunk}}/{{Dieselpunk}}-flavoured works, Sir Seaton Begg and Count Zodiac are Captains Ersatz of Sexton Blake and his recurring villain Zenith The Albino. This is partially a {{Homage}} acknowledging that Moorcock was originally inspired to make Elric an albino by his fandom for Zenith.
** In ''Multiverse'', a graphic novel set in his Eternal Champion canon, Sir Seaton Begg sports a BadassLongcoat, a fedora and a long scarf, making him look not unlike [[Series/DoctorWho the Fourth Doctor]]. Coincidence, no doubt...
* CrapsackWorld: Many characters live here.
* {{Determinator}}: One of the defining characteristics of the Eternal Champion. Also applies to more than a few {{Sidekick}}s, enemies, and secondary characters.
* DeusAngstMachina: Mostly due to the actions of the JerkassGods mentioned below.
* DistressedDamsel: Several. Examples, Shaarilla of the Dancing Mists, and Cymoril of Melnibone.
* DivineConflict: The "Eternal Champion" stories often feature an endless war between Law and Chaos, as personified by the deity-level Lords of Law and Lords of Chaos. The war includes conflicts between lesser creatures of Law and Chaos as well.
* DownerEnding: Moorcock is fond of these, especially the KillEmAll and ShootTheShaggyDog variety.
* EveryoneIsRelated: Anybody with the name Bek, Beck or Begg in Moorcock's work is a member of the huge and sprawling Von Bek aristocratic lineage, which exists across multiple universes and many male members of which are alternate versions of Elric. This sometimes extended to renaming characters in 1990s and 2000s reissues of his early work as a form of CanonWelding.
* FromBadToWorse: Pretty much guaranteed, especially when characters [[HopeSpot look like they're headed for a good ending]].

(March 28, 2006) – For more than 20 years, Auberge du Soleil has been the premier destination for discriminating travelers seeking a sophisticated and secluded retreat in the heart of Wine Country. Today, the legendary "Inn of the Sun" unveils two refurbished spacious hillside maisons, bringing to completion a multi-million dollar renovation of Napa Valley's premier luxury hideaway. The maisons, named Champagne and Loire after the famous regions in France, offer more than 1,800 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, French doors that lead to large trellised terraces with sunken, jetted tubs and sweeping views of the Napa Valley. Both maisons offer spacious master bedrooms with fireplaces and sitting areas and master baths with oversized soaking tubs, steam showers for two, double sinks, dressing vanities and walk-in closets. Graciously appointed living rooms feature fireplaces, sitting areas, dining alcoves and built-in bars. The Champagne maison features two bedrooms, while the Loire maison features one bedroom and a new private fitness studio. Designed by Suzanne Tucker, of San Francisco-based interior design firm Tucker & Marks, the interiors of the maisons are an update of the original design by her mentor Michael Taylor and complement her renovation of the rest of the property last year. The maisons are decorated with luxuriously over-scaled furniture inspired by 1940s pieces at France's Hôtel du Cap Eden Roc, and richly woven cream matelasse bedcovers accented with persimmon coverlets and bolsters. Made in France exclusively for Auberge du Soleil, the fabric is a copy of a vintage Pierre Frey design that Taylor had used. Cerused hand-stained oak in the rooms and wheat-colored limestone in the bathrooms replace the tile-covered countertops for a rich finish. Thoughtful extra touches abound in the maisons, including two refrigerators each: one stocked with gourmet snacks, and the other for wines, and advanced Nespresso espresso machines in the wet bar area with four different coffee and espresso favors offered. High-tech features include plasma televisions in both sitting areas and master bedrooms and 15-inch LCD flat-panel televisions for viewing from the extra-large soaking tubs in the master bathrooms. DVD players, fax machines, computer printers and complimentary wireless Internet access are also standard. Both maisons feature massage tables for private in-room treatments. - over - Auberge Du Soleil Maisons Renovation……………………………………………..…….…………….……………….………..page 2 The fitness studio in the Loire maison adds another dimension to the Auberge experience, offering a sanctuary for guests seeking a "retreat within a retreat" at what is already one of the most private luxury getaways in the world. The studio features two 32-inch plasma televisions and media center with library of fitness DVDs. Guests will enjoy state-of-the- art fitness equipment, including Precor elliptical trainers and recumbent bikes with flat screen televisions, as well as a complete set of exercise accessories including balls and stretch bands for core exercises and free weights for strength training. Guests staying in the Loire maison can also enjoy a Jacuzzi and steam shower as well as, upon request, private sessions with a personal trainer en-suite. Rates for the two private maisons range from $2,800 to $3,500. Auberge du Soleil is a distinctive property that captures the international atmosphere of today's Napa Valley. Its restaurant, one of the first great Wine Country destination restaurants, pays tribute to its legacy with an award-winning menu and wine list. Luxurious accommodations, a renowned spa, exceptional cuisine and service earn Auberge du Soleil recognition year after year as one of the world's most renowned small luxury hotels. Auberge du Soleil is the flagship property of Auberge Resorts, a collection of exceptional hotels, resorts and private clubs, each with a unique personality that assures a memorable guest experience. Among the distinctive properties are Esperanza, Calistoga Ranch and the new Inn at Palmetto Bluff, with several others currently in development. While Auberge Resorts nurtures the individuality of each establishment, all are characterized by a set of communal elements: intimate, understated elegance; magnificent natural settings; inspired cuisine utilizing the very best regional ingredients; and gracious yet unobtrusive service. For more information about Auberge Resorts, please visit www.aubergeresorts.com. Auberge du Soleil is also a member of Relais & Châteaux, the prestigious global hospitality association of intimate, elegant and independently owned hotels and acclaimed restaurants. Founded in 1954 in France, the association is comprised of 469 luxurious establishments in 51 countries. ### MEDIA CONTACT: Stacy Lewis/Vik Seshadri Murphy O'Brien, Inc. 310-453-2539 firstname.lastname@example.com email@example.com

Florida's Brisco drops the video for "On The Wall", featuring Lil' Wayne, who isn't really in jail.
Noodles bubbling club-banger gets the video treatment. Shot live @ the Hands High release party at Club Skye in Tampa, FL 6/4. Shot and Edited by 12twelve Productions.
New mixtape from Don Cannon, Vitamin Water and Complex. This mixtape takes shot at King James and tries to help make the choice for him. Check out the track list and download the three track mixtape below. Track List: 1. Brisco – "Who's That (Feat Mikey Rocks, Chip Tha Ripper & Um)" 2. Jadakiss – [cont.]
Miami's Brisco gets his Ja-fakin' accent on with this alarming track that's somewhat reminiscent of the "This Is Why I'm Hot (Remix)". Look out for Brisco's "Street Medicine", dropping soon. Red Rat + Brisco – "The Real Bad Boy" (MP3)
The most underrated rapper in Florida teams with New Breed for this uptempo, soulful dopeboy anthem. New Breed + Brisco – "Still Won't Change" (MP3)
Noodles is easily one of the best-kept secret producers in the game right now, with his knack for creating club moving tracks where everything remains raw. Latest example is his Biggie sampling "Hands High", featuring a bevy of Fla. rappers. DJ Noodles + Ace Hood + Brisco + 2 Pistols + Tom G – "Hands [cont.]
Ca$h Money's own Brisco finally drops that 4/20 mixtape, O.G. Kush. We're guessing he was busy on 4/20. Brisco – "O.G. Kush (Mixtape)"
Here is the video to Flo Rida's remake of Diddy's "Hello, Good Morning." Flo Rida's new album to be out later this year.
So Rick Ross might have been the first to go in on this, but Flo Rida, Billy Blue and Brisco are the first to change it up. This is of course over the Diddy, Dirty Money track "Hello Good Morning." Check it out below. Flo Rida + Billy Blue + Brisco- "Adios Goodnight'" (MP3)</
Brisco checks in with another one from his 4/20: O.G. Kush mixtape, dropping on the stoner's holiday. While last week we showed you "Wall" with Lil' Wayne, here the Ca$h Money recording artist stands on his own, in the spirit of Willie D. Brisco – "Bald Head Tosha" (MP3)
Ca$h Money recording artist legally known as British Alexander Mitchell grabs Weezy for their latest collaboration. Weezy's not really in jail, and 2Pac's still alive. LISTEN: Brisco + Lil' Wayne – "Wall"

Daniel Bard's downward spiral reached a new low Thursday, as the Texas Rangers released the 28-year-old pitcher following a dreadful stint with the organization's Single-A affiliate in Hickory, N.C.
Bard's downfall is shocking considering how much promise he showed early in his career with the Boston Red Sox. He isn't the first pitcher to suddenly lose control of his pitches, though, as several others over the years have suffered from what's commonly referred to as "Steve Blass Disease" or "the yips."
Bard was considered one of Major League Baseball's premier setup men after breaking into the majors with the Red Sox in 2009. Many even thought he'd become Boston's closer once Jonathan Papelbon left town. Bard struggled at the tail end of 2011, though, and the Red Sox's attempt to turn him back into a starting pitcher in 2012 failed miserably. His career has been a mess ever since.
Bard, who was released by the Red Sox and Chicago Cubs, underwent surgery in January after being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome. He joined the Rangers organization looking for a fresh start but allowed 13 earned runs over four appearances spanning two-thirds of an inning this season at Single-A. Bard didn't surrender a single hit with Hickory, yet walked nine batters and hit seven others en route to a 175.50 ERA.
Bard's sudden inability to throw strikes is extremely mysterious. It also could cost him his career, like the sudden loss of control has done to other pitchers throughout the game's history.

AMD and Crystal Dynamics Collaboration Thrusts Gamers into One of the Most Realistic PC Gaming Experience Ever with the Launch of "Tomb Raider"
SUNNYVALE, Calif. Mar. 5, 2013 AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced a collaboration with Crystal Dynamics following the launch of "Tomb Raider," one of the most highly anticipated PC games of 2013, and part of the AMD Gaming Evolved program. AMD and Crystal Dynamics worked together extensively on the development of "Tomb Raider," most notably with TressFX Hair, the world's first in-game implementation of a real-time, per-strand hair physics system. This leading-edge technology imparts one of the most iconic video game characters, Lara Croft, with an astonishingly lifelike appearance. With AMD Radeon™ graphics, gamers can unleash the full potential of this next-generation technology.
"With the launch of 'Tomb Raider' and TressFX Hair, AMD and Crystal Dynamics have radically pushed the boundaries of realism in the PC gaming experience," said Matt Skynner, corporate vice president and general manager, AMD Graphics. "Over the past several months, AMD has proven that the Gaming Evolved program is set to full throttle, and today's launch is a testament to AMD's ingenuity and innovation. Our team is working with the finest game developers in the world to ensure AMD Radeon™ HD 7000 Series graphics deliver the ultimate PC gaming experience."
AMD Radeon Graphics Core Next (GCN) is the ideal architecture for outstanding "Tomb Raider" performance. Built with numerous compute-driven effects like High Definition Ambient Occlusion (HDAO) and Depth of Field (DOF), "Tomb Raider" uniquely exploits the computing strengths of GCN architecture and the AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series, enabling an unrivaled gaming experience. "Tomb Raider" also fully supports AMD CrossFire technology, immersive AMD Eyefinity multidisplay technology and AMD HD3D stereo 3D. What's more, it is the first game in the franchise to take full advantage of DirectX 11, a direct result of Crystal Dynamic's collaboration with AMD Gaming Evolved.
"AMD and the Square Enix Studios, including Crystal Dynamics, have a long successful history of collaboration, starting with 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' from Eidos Montreal," said Darrell Gallagher, studio head, Crystal Dynamics. "We continue this close PC gaming relationship with the latest edition of 'Tomb Raider.' The AMD Gaming Evolved engineers and the team at Crystal Dynamics worked for months to make TressFX Hair a reality - with tremendous success. We believe that AMD Radeon Graphics and Graphics Core Next is the best way to take advantage of the dynamic realism we've brought to Lara in 'Tomb Raider.'"

You've sold the item. Now you have to get it there!
Selling online and ensuring amazing customer satisfaction is about 4 things:
1. Shipping items fast
2. Communicating with the customer
3. Running an cost effective logistics program that helps you ship goods at low prices
4. A returns management and claims program
At Vonality we have the experience in managing our own distribution centres for brand name retailers in Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania and California. We only handle shipping for our customers to ensure the best service levels.
We hate this part of the business. It's the most time consuming, labor intensive part. Packaging every item that needs a different box. Calculating shipping rates to charge the winning bidder, completing shipping labels and custom documentations is all part and parcel of what needs to be done. But it has to be done right - and we love making customers happy. Let our experience work for you.
Whether its a physical item or an experience requiring special handholding Vonality does it right- and limits your risk and liability from loss or damage.
From inbound inventory cataloguing, packaging and outbound shipping we have the enterprise level processes to handle 1000's of items on a daily bases. As well when it comes to shipping one of a kind items we have the expertise to get it done right. After all we are the company that shipped the world's Oldest Hockey Stick valued at over $2.4 million Dollars, Barry Bonds 715 Home Run baseball and Mussolini's 1932 Lancia Astura, among thousands of smaller items that to the winning bidder were equally as valuable.
Whether you are a small charity that needs someone to handle less then a 100 items or a large corporation with 100'000's of items we have the experience to - ship items fast, provide real time tracking and shipping calculators, move goods with the lowest number of touch points and communicate with customers so they are assured throughout the entire process. And when things don't go right- as they sometimes do an effective process in place to handle returns and claims (RMA).

Clary BM was upfront and honest with me about ship dates and I wasn't jerked around.

Notes from Apple's Q3 2013 Conference Call
Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer started the company's third-quarter 2013 financial results conference call by discussing Apple's June quarter record for 31.2 million iPhones sold. Total revenue for Apple is up one percent from Q3 2012. The iPhone has experienced 66 percent growth in Japan. Oppenheimer called the drop in iPad sales a "tough comparison" based on lower unit production.
Oppenheimer highlighted the success of iTunes, with total quarterly revenue of $4 billion from iTunes software and services. The last week of the quarter was the best ever for the App Store. Oppenheimer said there are more than 900,000 iOS apps now, with more than 375,000 apps for iPad. He said Apple is "on track to have a very busy Fall, I'd like to leave it there and go into more detail in October." While the latter remark has been interpreted by some outlets to suggest that Apple will not make additional product announcements until October, it's likely that Oppenheimer was referring to the company's next conference call—the only time when he is present at public question and answer sessions such as this.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said growth for Apple would come from new products, again mentioning the products would be in both "existing and new categories." Cook said he doesn't believe the higher-end smartphone market has hit its peak. He also mentioned iPad has experienced double-digit growth in many markets.
Regarding iPhone sales, Cook said, "We saw very strong sales in several of the emerging markets or prepaid markets." He acknowledged China was weaker in the quarter. "That is a lower growth rate than we have been seeing ... I attribute it to many things," he said, including the Chinese economy. Hong Kong sales were down, and Cook said, "It's not totally clear exactly why that occurred." He later said, "I continue to believe that in the arc of time here, China is a huge opportunity for Apple ... I don't get discouraged over a 90-day kind of cycle ...."
More after the break.
When asked a question about a possible iPhone trade-in program from Apple, Cook said, "We haven't announced anything relative to a trade-in program, so what you've seen is rumor-oriented." Cook also mentioned that he's "not opposed" to the idea of such a program. Cook mentioned that iPhone 4 is attracting a large number of first-time smartphone buyers. When asked about dropping average sales prices for the iPhone, Cook again referenced the brisk sales of the iPhone 4, which he said is selling better now than the iPhone 3GS was as the entry-level iPhone.
Cook was mum on the possible impact of new products. "We'll see," he said. Cook also said if the company continues to focus on creating great products, "The financial metrics will also come."
When asked about iOS being built into cars, Cook said it's "very important" and "I see it as part of the ecosystem." He also said, "I think Apple can do this in an unique way and better than anyone else."

What does "beyond the YouTube variety" suppose to refer to here? and what does " illicit sex" mean ?
closed as off-topic by John M. Landsberg, Kristina Lopez, Urbycoz, Brian Hooper, Kris Aug 15 '13 at 12:13This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
This is someone contemplating marital difficulties (The Troubles1). Sex outside the marriage ("illicit sex") is not part of the cause, because his wife Lorna is too miserable and he is too busy. Worrying about money and the need to keep what should be a consultancy business in business is contributing to the difficulty, though. The "YouTube variety" of sex is online pornography, which presumably he has been partaking of, probably in lieu of the real thing. 1 The conflict in Northern Ireland (1969–1998) was called The Troubles. Mitchell is indulging in black humour in comparing the marriage to that situation. |

Ivor Tesham is a handsome, single, young member of Parliament whose political star is on the rise. When he meets a woman in a chance encounter–a beautiful, leggy, married woman named Hebe–the two become lovers obsessed with their trysts, spiced up by what the newspapers like to call "adventure sex."
It's the dress-up and role-play that inspire Ivor to create a surprise birthday present for his beloved that involves a curbside kidnapping. It's all intended as mock-dangerous foreplay, but then things take a dark turn.
After things go horribly wrong, Ivor begins to receive anonymous letters that reveal astonishingly specific details about the affair and its aftermath. Somehow he must keep his role from being uncovered–and his political future from being destroyed by scandal.
Like a heretic on the inquisitor's rack, Ivor is not to be spared the exquisitely slow and tortuous unfolding of events, as hints, nuances, and small revelations lay his darkest secrets hideously bare for all the world to see.
The Birthday Present is a deft, insightful, and compulsively readable exploration of obsessive desire–and the dark twists of fate that can shake the lives of even those most insulated by privilege, sophistication, and power.
Barbara Vine's acclaimed novels include The Minotaur, The Blood Doctor, and Anna's Book. She has won many awards for literary accomplishment, both as Barbara Vine and as Ruth Rendell, including three Edgar Awards and four Gold Daggers.

How Instagrammable Is Instagram For Your Small Business?

Small Business LinkedIn For 21st Century Customer Engagement
