The principal signs and symptoms in the early stages of trachoma include:
As the disease progresses, later trachoma symptoms include:
Young children are particularly susceptible to infection, but the disease progresses slowly, and the more painful symptoms may not emerge until adulthood.
The World Health Organization has identified a grading system with five stages in the development of trachoma, including:
All the signs of trachoma are more severe in your upper lid than in your lower lid. With advanced scarring, your upper lid may show a thick line. In addition, the lubricating glandular tissue in your lids — including the tear-producing glands (lacrimal glands) — can be affected. This can lead to extreme dryness, aggravating the problem even more.
Call your doctor if you or your child has itching, irritation or discharge from the eyes, especially if you recently traveled to an area where trachoma is common. Trachoma is a contagious condition, and it should be treated as soon as possible to prevent further infections.

text: Essie Sunday Fun Day Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "bright, tangerine-crush coral with soft shimmer." It is a warm-toned, coral-orange with flecks of white sparkle. It was mostly opaque afer two coats of polish, and the consistency wasn't too thick or too thin, so it was easy to apply. Dior Diablotine is darker, redder. Chanel Lilis is more orange. MAC Vivid Effect is less warm-toned, cream. See comparison swatches.

2.10 Faculty Rights and Obligations
Persons with faculty appointments are both members of the college [university] and of the academic profession more broadly. As a result of this dual membership, faculty members have correlative rights and obligations, rooted in both the general standards of one's profession and the particular character and standards of the college [university].2.10.1 Academic Freedom
It is fundamental to the health of an academic institution and ultimately to the health of society at large that faculty members exercise their responsibility and freedom to search for truth and to speak truthfully. A truly Catholic institution of higher learning is "animated by a spirit of freedom and charity; it is characterized by mutual respect, sincere dialogue and protection of the rights of individuals" (John Paul II, Ex Corde Ecclesiae, 21).
Both the college [university] and each faculty member shall respect the rights and fulfill the responsibilities implicit in the 1940 "Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom" (from the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges and Universities), adapted here:
- In research and in publication of the results, faculty members are entitled to full freedom, subject to the adequate performance of their other academic duties. Research for pecuniary returns should be based upon an understanding with the academic officers of the college [university].
- In the classroom, faculty members are entitled to freedom in discussing their subject, but they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to their subject. Faculty members should respect the Catholic and Benedictine character of the college [university] in their teaching.
- When faculty members speak or write as citizens, they should be free from college [university] censorship or discipline. Nevertheless, their special position in the community imposes special obligations because they are not only citizens but also members of a learned profession and officers of the college [university]. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and the college [university] from their utterances. Hence, they should at all times be accurate, exercise appropriate restraint, show respect for the opinions of others, and make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the college [university].
Although no set rules or professional conduct can either guarantee or take the place of a faculty member's personal integrity, the college [university] endorses the 1987 "Statement on Professional Ethics" promulgated by the American Association of University Professors, adapted here:
- Faculty members, guided by a deep conviction of the worth and dignity of the advancement of knowledge, recognize the special responsibilities placed upon them. Their primary responsibility to their subject is to seek and to state the truth as they see it. To this end, faculty members devote their energies to developing and improving their scholarly competence. They accept the obligation to exercise critical self-discipline and judgment in using, extending and transmitting knowledge. They practice intellectual honesty although they may follow subsidiary interests, these interests must never seriously impair or compromise their freedom of inquiry.
- As teachers, faculty members encourage the free pursuit of learning in their students. They hold before their students the best scholarly and ethical standards of their disciplines. Faculty members demonstrate respect for students as individuals and adhere to proper roles as intellectual guides and counselors. They make every reasonable effort to foster honest academic conduct and to ensure that the evaluation of students reflects each student's true merit. They respect the confidential nature of the relationship between professor and student and avoid any exploitation, harassment, or discriminatory treatment of students. They acknowledge significant academic or scholarly assistance from students and protect students' academic freedom.
- As colleagues, faculty members have obligations that derive from common membership in the community as scholars. They do not discriminate against or harass colleagues. They respect and defend the free inquiry of associates. In the exchange of criticism and ideas, faculty members show due respect for the opinions of others. They acknowledge academic debt and strive to be objective in the professional judgment of colleagues. They accept their share of faculty responsibilities for the governance of their institution.
- As members of an academic institution, faculty members seek above all to be effective teachers and scholars. Although they observe the stated regulations of the college [university] provided the regulations do not contravene academic freedom, they maintain their right to criticize and seek revision. Faculty members give due regard to their paramount responsibilities within the college [university] in determining the amount and character of work done outside it. When considering the interruption or termination of their service, faculty members recognize the effect of their decision upon the program of the college [university] and give due notice of their intentions.
- As members of their community, faculty members have the rights and obligations of other citizens. They measure the urgency of these obligations in light of their responsibilities to their subject, to their students, to their profession, and to the college [university]. When they speak or act as private persons, they avoid creating the impression of speaking or acting for the college [university]. As citizens engaged in a profession that depends upon freedom for its health and integrity, faculty members have a particular obligation to promote conditions of free inquiry and to further public understanding of academic freedom.
Membership in the academic profession carries with it responsibilities for the advancement of knowledge, the intellectual growth of students, and the improvement of society. Faculty members should order and evaluate their activities in relation to these goals, as well as in relation to their own personal and professional development. Moreover, faculty members of the college [university] have a special obligation to understand the nature of this institution of higher learning and to appreciate its unique characteristics and its philosophy, mission and goals. They should strive to improve the intellectual and practical effectiveness of the college [university] and should bear their share of the faculty's responsibilities for the various curricula of the college [university].
A faculty member's overall responsibilities include: effective teaching, which is paramount; scholarship and creative work as appropriate to their field; academic advising; service; and the development of professional identity, as described in Section 2.5, "Faculty Evaluation: Policy, Criteria, and Evidence."
A faculty member is responsible for carrying out satisfactorily the duties agreed to in the individual faculty assignment.188.8.131.52 Faculty Assignment
Each faculty member's assignment of responsibilities is determined annually by the department chair in consultation with the faculty member and with the approval of the divisional dean. [Graduate faculty assignments are determined by the dean of the School of Theology in consultation with the faculty member.]
The actual faculty assignment will vary from person to person considering the following factors:
- the department curriculum, the number of courses and preparations required, the number of students in the assigned courses;
- use of teaching methods and resources consistent with quality education;
- number of student contact hours in laboratory sections, methods, courses, private lessons, etc;
- number of individual learning projects or internships;
- committee assignments;
- extraordinary circumstances within a department;
- number of advisees; and/or
- administrative work.
The following guidelines are used in the determination of faculty assignments:
- Faculty members should be occupied chiefly with the academic growth and development of students.
- Individual learning projects and internships are an important part of the education process. In addition to normal course assignments, faculty members are expected to be responsible for such teaching from time to time. However, no faculty member need be responsible for more than three concurrent individual learning projects and/or internships without a corresponding reduction of other duties.
- A faculty member will neither be assigned more than three 4-credit courses, nor more than 100 students in a given semester unless the college [university] provides assistance to make working with a larger number of students feasible.
- The vitality of the core curriculum depends on the active involvement of faculty members. Faculty members are expected to teach core courses. While departmental needs may sometimes prevent faculty members from teaching extra-departmental courses in the core, faculty members are strongly encouraged to do so periodically.
- Faculty members in the School of Theology face explicit expectations for scholarship that should be taken into account in a determination of their annual faculty assignment.
- Faculty members are expected to conduct classes in a manner appropriate to the type and level of the course assigned; to establish and inform students of course objectives, requirements, and schedules; and to deal with student papers and examinations in a timely manner.
- Faculty members are expected to hold office hours for consultation on course work and the advising of students.
- A faculty member who must be absent from a class due to illness or other due cause should try to make arrangements for alternative instruction or inform the department chair or dean of the college [university] to arrange for timely notification of students. Graduate faculty should notify the dean of the School of Theology.
- Faculty members are expected to take up other responsibilities as the situation may call for: moderating senior theses or research projects, assisting in the recruitment of prospective students, teaching for a colleague in an emergency, assisting in summer registration, etc.
- Faculty members are expected to participate in the decision-making, curriculum development, and assessment processes of the department and the college [university]. Faculty members are not expected to serve on a college [university] standing or ad hoc committee before the year in which they apply for third-year review.
- Although faculty members have a primary responsibility to their own department, they are also members of a larger collegial community and should make every effort to work cooperatively with members of other departments and with the administrators of the college [university], respecting appropriate deadlines established by various administrative officers.
- Faculty members are required to attend the fall faculty workshop and spring commencement exercises. If faculty are unable to attend, they should notify the Office of Academic Affairs in advance. Faculty members are also expected to attend other major academic convocations.
- In addition, each faculty member has a responsibility to be familiar with his or her roles and responsibilities as described in the Faculty Handbook. If questions of interpretation arise, clarifications should be sought from the president, the provost, the dean of the college, the department chair [the dean of the School of Theology], or the Faculty Handbook Committee. Any exceptions mutually agreed upon should be in writing and signed by all parties concerned.
Full-time faculty members are expected to devote their full working time to this employment. Nonetheless, consulting and other outside activities of a professional nature are encouraged by the college [university] where such activities give the faculty member experience and knowledge valuable to professional growth while making a positive contribution in society. In order to keep a balance in this matter, no outside service or enterprise, professional or other, should be undertaken by a faculty member that might interfere with his or her primary responsibility to the college [university] as defined in Section 2.10.3, "Faculty Responsibilities."
The following procedures apply:
- Although a faculty member need not obtain prior authorization before engaging in outside professional activities, the faculty member should consult with the chair and the divisional dean prior to any instance where a conflict between his or her contractual responsibilities to the college [university] and the outside activity may arise.
- If outside activities harm a faculty member's performance of professional responsibilities, the chair [and/or the dean of the School of Theology] should speak directly to the faculty member about the matter. If the situation does not improve sufficiently, additional assistance will be available from the divisional dean and/or the provost. See Section 2.13.6, "Discipline and/or Dismissal for Cause."
- Faculty members may use their offices, library services, and, to a limited extent, secretarial staff (if available after completion of official work) to assist in the preparation of professional manuscripts, creative work, or other outside professional activity.
- Except for incidental use of office equipment (e.g., word processing, local phone calls), faculty members may use college [university] facilities for nonprofessional outside activities only with written approval of the department chair, the dean of the college [university], [and/or the dean of the School of Theology], and the person responsible for operating that facility or equipment. In such cases, the faculty member or his or her outside employer or sponsor will pay the reimbursement rate established by the college [university] for such use.
- Faculty members may employ official college [university] stationery in outside professional activities. They should not use official stationery or the college's [university's] name or seal in any offer of goods or services by any outside organization without prior permission of the divisional dean [and/or the dean of the School of Theology]. The college [university] assumes no responsibility for the competence or performance of the outside activities (either professional or nonprofessional) of any faculty member. Faculty members must be careful not to represent themselves as acting on behalf of the college [university].
- Faculty members uncertain about their responsibilities with regard to a conflict between their work as a faculty member and their outside activities should consult with their chair and their divisional dean [and/or the dean of the School of Theology], concerning their compliance with college [university] policies.
In order to assist faculty members in the performance of their duties, the college [university] provides the facilities and services listed below. Specific details governing these matters are described in Part III.
- office space
- media services
- computer services
- library services
- office keys
- identification cards
- secretarial services
- duplicating services
- official stationery
- postage for official correspondence
- health services
- counseling services
- on-campus parking
- academic regalia [Saint John's University only]
- notary public
Faculty members are responsible for following college [university] policies. Policies are grouped in the Faculty Handbook not by their subject matter or function but according to the procedures employed to amend them.22.214.171.124 Appendix to Part II
Policies included as appendices to Part II can be amended only through the full revision procedure for the rest of Part II, described in Section 2.16, requiring action of the faculty, the president, and the Board of Trustees [Regents]. The provost coordinates and transmits to the president all of the Faculty Handbook amendments passed by the Joint Faculty Assembly.
- "Joint Human Rights Policy"
- "Joint Sexual Assault Policy"
Policies included in Part III are created by the appropriate college [university] administrator and are amended by administrative update from that administrative officer.18.104.22.168 Policies in Part IV of the Faculty Handbook
Policies included in Part IV are created and amended through approval of the Assembly and the president. The provost coordinates and transmits to the president all of the Faculty Handbook amendments passed by the Joint Faculty Assembly.2.10.6 Violations of Faculty Rights, Academic Freedom and Professional Ethics
Disputes involving a charge that a faculty member's rights or academic freedom have been abrogated or that professional ethics have not been maintained are to be settled through the established grievance procedures (see Section 2.15 and Section 4.1). While affirming academic freedom as a right, the college [university] recognizes that, in some circumstances, the questions of academic freedom become enmeshed in questions of professional irresponsibility. In the effort to distinguish between these sometimes confused issues, the guiding principle is that charges of professional irresponsibility shall not be used to limit academic freedom; nor shall appeals to academic freedom be acceptable as a shield for professional irresponsibility.

About this Book
- 224 pages
- Published:
- Release: P5.0 (2011-04-12)
Few of the ideas presented here are controversial or extreme; most experienced programmers will agree that this stuff works. Yet 50 to 70 percent of all project teams in the U.S. aren't able to use even these simple, well-accepted practices effectively. This book will help you get started.
Ship It! begins by introducing the common technical infrastructure that every project needs. Readers can choose from a variety of recommended technologies according to their skills and budgets to get the job done. The next section outlines the necessary steps to get software out the door reliably, using well-accepted, easy-to-adopt, best-of-breed practices that really work.
- Use the right tools to guide and protect your project, and tame those that can hurt you
- Effectively manage features and issues to keep both users and managers happy
- Improve everyone's communication and collaboration using simple techniques
- Recognize how great developers and great managers work in concert—and how to fix it when they don't
- Know how to answer the Frequently Asked Questions and fix the common problems that everyone faces on modern projects
Finally, and most importantly, Ship It! presents common problems and danger signs that arise and offers real-world advice on how to solve them, in the widely-accepted form of a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).
Some popular methodologies are based on academic theory or one-off, lucky projects. The practices, ideas, and tools presented here were born in the real world, and represent the best of modern software development techniques with a few novel twists and helpful insights.
This book is suitable for anyone interested in applying pragmatic principles to modern software development.
This book is for you if:
- You're frustrated at lack of progress on your project.
- You want to make yourself and your team more valuable.
- You've looked at methodologies such as Extreme Programming (XP) and felt they were too, well, extreme.
- You've looked at the Rational Unified Process (RUP) or CMM/I methods and cringed at the learning curve and costs.
- You need to get software out the door without excuses
In short, you need this book if you want to Ship It!.

Comments and Reviews
—Joe Fair Developer
It's rare to have this much fun reading a book about software. The ideas are smart, relevant, and fundamental. I can be a better programmer today because of the things I read today.
—Roberto Gianassi IT Consultant
A great book! The authors have done a great job in presenting the subject in a neutral way and avoiding any methodology-oriented traps.
—Matthew Bass Software Engineer
This is fantastic stuff. As I started reading, I almost fell out of my seat because the project I'm on right now is going through exactly the hurt you describe and would benefit greatly from material just like this.
—Ed Gibbs
Ship It! exceeded my expectations… I've been pleasantly surprised that while it does cover a good bit of familiar ground it does cover a host of new ideas from buddy/mini code reviews in place of pair programming to how to deal with "Tumbleweed Developers". And on top of that it's a nice fast read. Highly recommended.
—Thomas Duff
that's the sign of a great book... you walk away with a few action items that will change what you do today, not sometime in the future. This is really a "required read" for all software developers, and the sooner you read it, the better.
—Kenneth Sizer
That's got to be one of the best choices of title since the Mythical Man Month!

Another option are triggers from here.
Geissele Automatics, LLC. - Hi-Speed National Match Trigger
A few weeks ago at the local funshow i tried out one of the RRA match triggers,was not impressed in the least.LOP was fine,but it felt gritty,almost like it was full of sand.
Hopefully that one is not representative of what RRA is putting out now.
Ended up passing on the RRA and am now looking for a couple of the Geiselle' to finish up my varmint builds.
For around $40.00 Bill Springfield will rework a stock trigger to near perfection,a good alternative for a budget build.
" The world is a very dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who do nothing about them." - Albert Einstein, 1879-1955
Thanks for posting the "15 Minute Practical Trigger Job for the AR-15"
I'm going to incorporate this hopefully soon. I was going to buy the RRA two stage trigger but I'm now going to try this first. Looks like it will save me $$ and accomplish the same thing.
I installed a Timney in a friends rifle for him. It feels like your shooting a tuned bolt gun. Single stage, 2-3lbs or so.
Great for sandbag or bipod shooting but not something you want to run through the woods with. Safe handling practice is key.

Beautiful weekend, an extra day, we didn't labor much all Labor Day weekend so we were ready for a nice hike at Chautauqua in Boulder, Colorado. We were prepared–oodles of sunscreen, shoes with good tread, water bottles for each person, a collapsible potty, a camera and some cute mountain gear. Come on, I'm a Style Coach. Of course we need cute gear, nothing too granola-like for our quick jaunt up the flatirons! I was even wearing a grecian-style Theory tank top–the jersey knit was comfortable and cool and much more chic than a plain tee or sports top.
One parent to another, it's not really a workout. But it's a great diversion and pretty low stress. Encourage your kidlets to look for bugs, listen for sounds, find sticks, choose which flower is their favorite color, take pictures, and overall run, jump and play along the way. They love it and you get a real breath of fresh air and maybe even a few minutes to talk to your spouse about the view. And since you're toting the potty, encourage them to load up on water along the way. That little blonde boy on his Dad's shoulders was sipping away at Dad's Camelback as they hiked up.
And then…the best payoff.

My husband was the hardest to convince. He has seen me sitting at my laptop day in and day out for the better part of six years, typing and chatting. He has watched me engage on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram with a passion and fervor that surprised him. And he has spent so many years rolling his eyes in ridicule, shrugging his shoulders and furrowing his brow in dismay, begging me to disconnect. How many of us have non-blogging partners that feel the same way? He has also decried my "naiveté" in believing that people I have met and chat with on any social media site could possibly be true friends.
But there he was wrong. And he eventually relented; over the past couple of years as I have created projects with my so-called "invisible friends", those living at a distance, and seen those projects through, he has gradually accepted that friendship and true relationships can be created through the strange and unlikely world of the internet.
One such friendship and working relationship is with Ilva. Who that knows me doesn't know of our work together, of Plated Stories? This creative collaboration inspires and motivates each of us in our individual endeavors and imaginations; I like to think that the nature of our friendship has been what is leading to the success of Plated Stories. First an IACP Award for Best Photo Based Blog and now nominated as a finalist in the Saveur Best Food Blog Awards in the category Best Writing. My husband has truly seen what can happen when people connect, no matter the physical distance between them. Even my sons admit it now. And that is saying something.
Another friend is Barb, the cook and wit behind Creative Culinary. Barb is an amazing cook and her recipes have always drawn me to her blog and kept me coming back – real food, original and titillating recipes, great dishes and desserts (and now cocktails!), a true food blogger in my opinion. But she has also become a friend. But I she explains it much better than I ever could, and has posted about it today on Creative Culinary.
But… Barb has been so very kind, a true friend, by posting today about me and Ilva and Plated Stories. A true friend in supporting Plated Stories and helping us to drum up votes for the Saveur Best Food Blog Awards! I couldn't be more flattered, honored and happy.
And this weekend, Barb decided to pair her blog post with one of my family's favorite recipes and most demanded cake, the Easy One-Bowl Chocolate Cake, pairing it with a luscious Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting. And hers looks much prettier than mine ever has! So please hop over to Creative Culinary – discover a favorite cake recipe and one of my favorite blogs.
Lately, Plated Stories has been Tabled, been Jammin', seen White and said Cheese. Do take some time to discover Plated Stories if you haven't already.

Saturday's 1-1 draw with Southampton at Old Trafford leaves United in mid-table limbo, with the same number of points as newly-promoted Hull City.
The meagre haul of 11 from eight games represents the club's worst start to a league season for 24 years and Carrick admits the Premier League table does not make comfortable reading.
"It is not easy reading now," said Carrick.
"Looking at the table as it is now is not something we are used to.
"It is frustrating because things are not going the way we want.
"But as players we have to stand up, take responsibility and get better.
"We just have to keep believing.
"We are still confident. Everything is in place but for some reason, at the moment, we are not quite clicking and not quite firing."
United defender Phil Jones also admitted that the dressing room was left frustrated following the surprise home draw with Southampton.
"Having won at Sunderland we wanted to really kick on," said Jones.
"Although we haven't lost we are still disappointed.
"It's so frustrating. We controlled the game but we could have done with that second goal and in the end we've conceded a sloppy goal at the other end."

I have both an iPad (gen 1) and a Kindle Fire, and this is not too surprising. I like both, but use them for different things. The Kindle Fire really has two main advantages -- price, and easy access to Amazon content. For most Amazon content, this is not much of an issue -- if Apple chose, they could eliminate the Fire's advantage overnight by reversing its stupid in-app store rule. All that would remain would be access to Amazon Video, which the iPad cannot do (not sure if it is Apple or Amazon's "fault" here), which is significant to Amazon Prime members in the US, but nobody else.
iPad crushes expected Kindle and Samsung tablet sales in U.S.
ChangeWave surveyed nearly 3,000 U.S. consumers to see which tablets they would be buying in the next three months, and a whooping 73% of planned tablet buyers (which was about 7% of the sample) said they would be getting an iPad, compared to a meager 8% of projected Kindle Fire purchases and 6% of those getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab. Looking back at the first quarter of 2012, ABI Research has confirmed the trend, claiming that Apple had claimed 65% of the market.
Existing owners also reported on satisfaction. 81% of third-generation iPad owners were "Very Satisfied", compared to 71% of iPad 2 owners, 46% of Samsung Galaxy Tab owners, and 41% of Kindle Fire owners. 11% of Samsung Galaxy Tab owners reported being "Somewhat Unsatisfied" with their device, compared to 2% of both iPad model owners.
Finally, the poll probed interest in a smaller iPad, which is a rumor we've been hearing floating around for some time now. 3% of respondents said they were "Very Likely" to pick up an iPad Mini for themselves or a friend, while 14% said they were "Somewhat Likely" to do so.
Even though the iPad is slowly dipping in its overall command of the landscape, it's still safe to say that there isn't so much of a "tablet market" as there is "an iPad market". Even among mobile PC manufacturers, the iPad has been trouncing the likes of Acer, Lenovo, HP, and ASUS. Right now, it seems like the biggest competition for the iPad will be Windows 8 machines that offer a big-boy operating system in a tablet form factor with a keyboard dock for those times when you want a laptop experience, but those are still a ways off, and even once they come out, the iPad will likely maintain a lead on price point.
On that note, my interest in the rumored iPad Mini is directly proportional to its price. If it actually does launch at $200 - $300, sign me up - especially if it manages to keep the Retina display resolution. Would you be interested in a smaller or iPad, or do you find the current size portable enough? Have you ever been interested in a Kindle Fire for its portability?

iPad crushes expected Kindle and Samsung tablet sales in U.S.
I have both a new retina iPad and a Kindle Fire (and am an iPhone 4 owner) and I can say I DO NOT like the 7" form factor at all. Its too big to fit in a pocket. So for me the next step up is a backpack/book bag and that's comfortable for the iPad to move around in.
The KF is a bit too big to try and hold one handed like a phone but with its size, its a bit too small to two hand. Apple has hit the sweet spot with both their phone size and their tablet size.
On top of it, the KF's User Interface is not pleasant to use.
Re: "... I can say I DO NOT like the 7" form factor at all. Its too big to fit in a pocket."
BOOM. I think that's the real killer. The 7"-ish form factor is the worst of both worlds: too big to fit in a pocket and stuck at the small end of the usability scale.
Say what you want about smallness, lightness, and cheapness. It's just plain awkward in all ways.
Mini for adults? Yes, too small. But for kids? Not so much.
I have three little ones and if they came out with a mini, done! If offered at a $200-250 price point? Would be the death of Fire, Color et. all........and would keep my blasted kids off my device!
What I would rather have is a pocket sized iPhone with a big enough screen to use for most things. Keeping the same aspect Ratio about 4.5" would be just right. If they changed the aspect ratio to 16:9 then you would have to go to 5" to get a decent width device and then it would be to tall.
Try and iPad and you'll think different.
You are reporting the statistics incorrectly.
2,893 consumers were surveyed. Of those, 7% said they would buy a tablet in the next 90 days. That's about 202 people. Of the 7% that said they'd buy a tablet, 73% responded they would buy an iPad. That's just over 5% of the total, or about 147 people.
Re: 3% of respondents said they were "Very Likely" to pick up an iPad Mini for themselves or a friend, while 14% said they were "Somewhat Likely" to do so.
3% isn't a compelling slice of the market. Neither is 17% for the "very" and "somewhat" likely slices combined.
Now that the Kindle Fire is tanking, and there seems to be little demand for a smaller iPad, there's less incentive for Apple to release an iPad mini. Maybe selling 1- and 2-year old iPad models at a discount is the better tactic. Let's say that next year, when the 4th generation iPad is released, Apple sells the low-end 3rd generation iPad for $100 less. $399. And let's say they sell the low-end iPad 2 for $200 less. $299. Think about that.
All Retina displays. All 9.7" screens. Starting at $299. Would Apple really ever need an iPad mini? I don't think so. But whatever. We'll all just have to wait and see.
You're telling me that 20% of consumers being at least "somewhat likely" to purchase an iPad mini isn't compelling for Apple?! I'd imagine any manufacturer would love those numbers.
there can be no replacement for the iPad!
Follow me on instagram! @theonewho_eats
There are 2 Nook tablets: the Nook Color which came out first and now what they call the Nook Tablet. I currently own a Motorola Xoom and would be interested in an iPad that would be about 8 inches. 7 inches would be too small for the iPad.
As someone with a degree in Marketing and with plenty of marketing research and statistics courses under his belt, a sample size of 3,000 is nothing to sneeze at.
It adds a high degree of validity to the survey, and Apple would be wise to take careful note of the survey's findings.
What should be taken away from the findings is that Apple should ~NOT~ release some sort of less capable iPad "junior."
Apple haters in the press had a good laugh when the Amazon Kindle Fire rocked the charts during the 2011 holiday sales period. But those same people weren't exactly laughing when Amazon Kindle Fire sales tanked in 2012 as would-be Kindle Fire customers bought iPads instead – this, despite the iPad's much higher price tag. It was "iPad or bust."
Apparently, consumers get it: there is a vast difference between price and VALUE.
Right now, the iPad owes much of its success to the razor sharp focus and clarity as to what an iPad is, what its form factor is and what its mind-blowing capabilities are, in the mind of the consumer.
Employing a not-very-thought-through strategy of "blocking" or "answering" offerings from ostensible competitors (there is no proof that Kindle Fire sales came at the expense of iPad sales. Consumers may see these products as very different – apples and oranges).
Are what are thought to be competitors to the iPad truly competitors? That seems to be the assumption, right or wrong.
If Apple comes out with a smaller iPad "junior" or iPad "nano," the iPad concept will become diffused and lose its razor sharp clarity. "iPad" would now stand for a product line "family" that includes a smaller form factor iPad that is less powerful and capable than the iPad everyone knows and loves.
Cheapening the iPad brand identity will hurt higher-end iPads.
Again, after the 2011 holiday buying season, the more expensive iPad "ate the Amazon Kindle Fire's lunch," proving that no $299 "iPad nano" was at all necessary.
Apple should pick its battles with the utmost care; let Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung and others slug it out at the low-end, while Apple stays above the fray and keeps its eye on the ball with a single, focused, powerful, and yes, higher-priced iPad.
Dell and HP/Compaq can tell you many a tale of the perils of entering the low-cost, low-end competitive fray. And were he alive today, Steve Jobs can tell you the bountiful benefits of stubbornly refusing to compete in that cutthroat arena. Remember when the Dell brand had an air exclusivity, of a more expensive yet higher quality, premium product? (I wouldn't blame you if you don't.) Dell was once a sterling brand, and the company was for long the #1 PC seller EVEN AS the market was flooded with cheaper PCs – Dell PCs were NEVER the cheapest, but they were #1 despite this
But they forfeited "a brand worth paying extra for" when the decision was made to enter the sub-$1,000 market. Yet a cutthroat competitive price war would ensue instead, turning the sub-$1,000 market into the sub-$600 market and then a sub-$400 market. That's why HP/Compaq is the #1 PC seller yet can't make any money off this position.
This is the scenario Apple faces as the always-wrong industry analysts insist Apple MUST "block" the anticipated flood of $199, 8GB, 7" "tablets" or it will be doomsday for Apple. (The same was said about the more expensive MacBook Air in the face of competition from $300 NetBooks, yet the pricier MacBook Air continues to eat their lunch(es).)
Again, refer to my earlier comments about how consumers seem to "get it." I don't think a buyer of a $300 NetBook believes s/he's getting the same quality and power of a $999 MacBook Air.
My vote is against an iPad "junior" or "mini" or "nano."
Diluting the sharp concept the iPad presently holds in the mind of the consumer will hurt sales of ALL iPads – "juniors" and "seniors" alike.
Let the boneheads like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Microsoft, Samsung, Asus, Acer, Toshiba, Google, et al, slug it out in the $199, 8GB "tablet" market and try to squeeze out a profit margin at the same time.
Steve Jobs is on record opposing a 7" iPad. (The "filing down your fingers with sandpaper" remark.)
The article said the large-scale survey found that "3% of respondents said they were "Very Likely" to pick up an iPad Mini for themselves or a friend, while 14% said they were "Somewhat Likely" to do so." Not especially compelling numbers.
As Steve Jobs said, you have to DECIDE and sometimes say NO to portions of the market.
Rather than reduce size, capability and price of the iPad, Apple should instead continue to focus on adding compelling capabilities to the iPad that consumers are willing to pay for.

text: Guerlain L'Heure Bleue (168) Rouge Automatique Lipstick ($35.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a ruby-shimmered blue-based red with a subtle pinkness. The color payoff is mostly opaque, but there's an underlying sheerness that gives it a translucent look. It's pinker than MAC Prolong. Chanel Byzantin is darker, redder. Dior Technicolor is slightly darker. Guerlain Girly is pinker, less red. Estee Lauder Wild Violet is a touch purpler. MAC Perpetual Flame is slightly less red. Guerlain's Rouge Automatiques are supposed to have subtle sheerness–that translucency is part of the formula (it reminds me of jelly nail polishes).

'Come on in. Get a soda pop. Have a seat."
About Christopher
Age: 70
Occupation: Funeral business operator.
Community: Johns Island.
People will remember him: As a kind and caring person who put the needs of others ahead of his own.
Affiliation: Walker's Mortuary "Chapel of Peace."
Survivors include: Wife, Lillie D. Walker; children, Loretta Jenkins-Brown (Floyd), Octavia Dunham-Hogue (Ronald) and Synetra Walker-DeLoach (Shannon); sister, Rosalie "Pearl" Blake; 5 grandchildren; and 10 great grandchildren.
Those were the words most people who entered Christopher Walker's office at Walker's Mortuary "Chapel of Peace," on Johns Island heard.
Walker was remembered as being great at making people's burden feel a little bit lighter, especially those who were bereaved.
"I miss his jokes, his smile and his laugh," Latrada McCanick, his cousin and employee says. "He had a little quiet laugh. It was little with a smile and a little giggle. His laugh would make you laugh. He was my cousin, but I looked at him as a daddy figure, and he treated me like one of his children."
Walker, who was born May 31, 1943, died Aug. 30. The founder of Walker's Mortuary, he was known for buying cakes and sodas and delivering them to bereaved families, McCanick says.
He did that because he was a caring and family-oriented person.
Walker, who was born in the Sugar Hill community, was the kind of man who would make sure he introduced the younger generation to extended family members, McCanick says.
"He knew everything about our family's history," she says. "He would always explain who was who. We would be out and he would see somebody and say, 'This is your grandmother's cousin.' He loved all of his family."
John Brisbon, who is married to one of Walker's cousins, worked beside him in the office and the field for 16 years.
"He was a real good person. If someone owed him money, he did not bug them. If they came in because another family member passed, he would still serve them. His whole idea was to maintain a comfortable living, but to help the families. It wasn't about the money, it was about pleasing the family.
"He would also drive to another state and pick up a body to save the family some money. We used to go to Georgia and Florida, way down in Florida. We've gone as far away as Ft. Myers. Put down headstones, body removal, Mr. Walker and I would do it all. If somebody had a problem, if the grave was sinking we'd go and build it up."
Lillie Walker says her husband always wanted the families he served to feel good about the way their loved ones' bodies appeared when they were viewed.
"He would lay down at night thinking about the best way to present them, so the families would feel good," she says. "Then, he would pick up at the hospitals and embalm another body in the middle of the night. Everybody would be in the bed asleep and he was still running around working."
Walker did not have time for a hobby, she says. He relaxed by watching television and movies.
He liked "Judge Judy" and watched "Nancy Grace" and the news, too, but he seldom sat still.
When he did slow down and his family visited, he loved to cook, especially on the grill.
"He could cook anything," she says. "I certainly miss his cooking. He loved to grill. He would grill fish and steak and chicken. He could cook beans, rice and he made a mean potato salad. I liked his chicken and okra soup."

The answer, according to DMs google code page, is that DM does NOT allow disc swapping...yet.
What? How can that be? To load disc 2, you go to a specific place where the game asks you to switch. There is no saving. Because you enter a new area when you enter the disk. The disc switch occurs during the transition between areas without saves.
The answer, according to DMs google code page, is that DM does NOT allow disc swapping...yet.
Wiiflow gave you an option to load the save. DM does not allow swapping of discs yet.
Wiiflow has support for more 2 disc gamecube games for installing, so they are working on it.

i got DM 2.4 and formatted my HD to FAT32 with 32kbs, but im getting black screen with no splash screen. My HD model is WD5000MLC, a 500gb WD passport elite; its fairly common it it worked as a WBFS before, but HD compatibility seems to be the only reason i could find in which a black screen before splash happens. I have not updated any of my iOS's or anything like that in almost 2 yrs now; could that be the problem as well or is it a for-sure HD compatibility issue? thanks!
DM is its own thing, your IOSs shouldn't be an issue. Did you mark the HDD as primary and active, put the ISO games in the correct locations, tell the loader where to find them and set the loader to use "MIOS (Default & Custom)" as well as setting DML mode to 2.2+?Originally Posted by psychoplast

SAN DIEGO, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge men's and women's cross country teams both had a solid afternoon on the course at the 2012 Aztec Invitational.
In the men's 8k, Hunter Hays finished first in a time of 26:48.2 on a rough cross country course. Hays won by out-running competitors from San Jose State and Point Loma over the last mile. Julio Mora finished third (29:12.4) followed by Martin Santillan in fourth (29:17.0), Marcelo Rosales in seventh (30:07.4), Steven Gonzales in eighth (30:23.2), Ezekial Glass in 11th (31:56.6) and Eddie Garcia wound up 12th (33:19.7).
As a team, the Matador men won the race by one point over Point Loma. CSUN posted an average time of 29:09.64.
"This is a great day for CSUN cross country," said head coach Avery Anderson. "This is the toughest course we'll run this season and this race gave us the opportunity to prove what we're made of. Running a course that gets tougher as the race goes on, we dug down when challenged and pulled out the team win."
In the women's 5k, the Matadors also finished strong as Araceli Zainos was CSUN's top finisher for the second straight meet. Zainos clocked a time of 19:15.1 followed by Yvonne Castillo-Urbina in 23rd (19:59.0), Fany Alvarado in 25th (20:06.4), Alexis Pichardo in 26th (20:07.6), Vanessa Carr in 35th (20:31.5), Kaitlin Janes in 39th (20:49.7), Kendahl Waalk in 48th (21:20.3) and Annalise Lopez in 53rd (21:57.8).
The CSUN women wound up fourth behind San Diego State, USC and Biola. The Matadors posted an average time of 19:59.92.
"I'm very proud of the fight the women showed, out here today," said Anderson. "As a team we've made tremendous strides this year. We're running as a unit and racing for each other. When your final scorer PR's on a course this difficult it shows the kind of tenacity we're running with."

College Football Performance Award weekly honors
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – University of New Mexico punter Ben Skaer on Monday earned a College Football Performance Awards National Punter of the Week honorable mention for his performance Saturday during the Lobos' 38-31 loss to Wyoming.
Skaer, a senior from Waterloo, Ill., punted five times for an average of 51.2 yards vs. the Cowboys. He had a net average of 46.2 yards per attempt. Three of his punts traveled more than 50 yards and three landed inside the Wyoming 20. The Lobos recovered a fumble on one of those that led to Jhurell Pressley's eight-yard touchdown run on the next play.
The Lobos are No. 2 in the nation in net punting with an average of 43.6 yards per punt. Skaer's average of 46.7 yards per punt would rank sixth in the country, but he is one punt shy of the minimum number of punts needed to qualify in the national rankings.
Eight of Skaer's 21 punts in 2013 have gone for 50 yards or more, and eight have landed inside the opponents' 20-yard line.
The honorable mention was the second for Skaer this season – he also earned one in the season opener against UTSA – and his fifth in the last two seasons.

Hi All,
I had my baby via emergency C-Section at 27 weeks due to having a severe case of PE w/ HELLP. Baby is doing fine and gaining weight steadily (he's finally 2 lbs) and for that I am extremely grateful! As for me, I'm having a hard time understanding why I have not lost even 1 lb since delivery. I obviously no longer have a baby, placenta, amniotic fluid etc so one would think I'd at least lose a few pounds! I'm not allowed to exercise yet but I've been watching what I eat, drinking plent of water, etc and still nothing. My neck and face a very swollen but my blood pressure is great at 100/60. I just can't figuire it out...especially since I lost 25 lbs almost immediately with my first child (no PE however). Combined with Postpartum blues, etc this making me feel very insecure and worried that something might be wrong with me. Has anyone experienced this?
Many thanks in advance!

Mozzarella and More, located on the King's Road in London is a great place to stop for coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner. Owned by a group of Sicilian foodies and run by Antonio from Naples, it offers authentic, homemade Italian food served in a cosy and welcoming environment.
As I walked in on a wet lunchtime, it felt warm and inviting with the delicious smells of cooking lingering in the air.
The menu offers a wide range of choice, with small nibbles, sharing plates, and a daily seasonal choice of fish and meat on offer.
So much of the food here is homemade; the focaccia and ciabatta, burrata, mozzarella and ricotta, the sausages and all desserts and cakes, made by Valentina, one of the owners.
I started with the homemade burrata, which was served with warm caponata filled with carrot, pine nuts and raisins. It was a very tasty, generously portioned and priced at £9.80. To drink, the Sicilian Leone d'Almerita 2011 was a very light, floral and refreshing.
Next on offer were Mozzarella and More's homemade pork, pistachio and fennel sausages, which were beautifully flavoured and chunky in texture. I finished with a delicious fillet steak served with parmesan and shaved black truffle at £28 which was excellent. The aged parmesan and slivers of truffle complimented the steak very nicely indeed.
Not only is Mozzarella and More a great place to visit for a meal, it offers a trattoria style service with takeaway dishes offered and catering available for events.
Mozzarella and More is highly recommended and dining there is a generous, welcoming and authentic experience.

Women's Soccer Suffers Unlucky Bounce In Loss
- Release Date:

HAMBURG, NY – After playing eighty-four minutes of scoreless soccer, a crossed-pass into the box ended up in the back of the net, giving La Roche College a 1-0 AMCC win over Hilbert College in women's soccer October 20. Nicole Ferraco was credited with the score which improved the RedHawks to 3-3-2 in league play. Erin Smith took the loss in net for Hilbert as the Hawks settled into a 0-7-1 league record.
Hilbert's backline was up to the challenge of defending Bethanie Moreschi, La Roche's top shooter, as they limited her to four shots on frame. At 84:36 Ferraco centered the ball to the box attempting to set-up a RedHawk shot, but the ball ended up rebounding off a Hilbert defender out of Smith's reach. After the tie was broken, Hilbert picked up their offensive attack, but time ran out before they could score a late-game goal. Hilbert was outshot 12-4, and La Roche held a 7-0 corner kick advantage, but Hilbert was in the match the entire game minus the unlucky bounce of the ball in the late going.
Prior to the game, Hilbert's coaching staff and underclassmen honored their seven senior graduating teammates. Pictured above with the 2012 seniors is the Hilbert coaching staff.
The women's soccer team finishes their 2012 season when they host Penn State Behrend October 23 with a 1pm kickoff.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Narco Cultura
Possibly the least likely movie ever to be directed by someone named Shaul Schwarz, this mesmerizing Sundance doc competitor plunges us deep into the world of the Mexican drug wars, mapping a Traffic-like web of interconnected characters that stretches from the violent streets of Juárez to the shadow of the Hollywood sign. Of particular interest to Schwarz is the burgeoning industry of singer-songwriters who perform "narcocorridos" — a mariachi version of gangster rap that celebrates the drug-running "narcos" as modern folk heroes. (Sample lyric: "With an AK-47 and a bazooka over my shoulder/Cross my path, and I'll chop your head off.") Along the way, we meet forensic investigators who put their own lives at risk at each new crime scene, and business-savvy moguls for whom nothing is off limits as entertainment. All of it is captured by Schwarz — an award-winning magazine photographer and Israeli air force vet — with a sharp eye for composition and a fearlessness about where he places himself and his camera.
Valentine Road
Also screening in the U.S. Documentary competition, first-time filmmaker Marta Cunningham's remarkable Valentine Road focuses on the headline-grabbing 2008 case of 15-year-old Lawrence "Larry" King, the openly gay Oxnard, California, junior high student shot and killed by fourteen-year-old classmate Brandon McInerney. But was it murder? Manslaughter? A hate crime? Or none of the above? Spending three years on the ground in the racially and economically diverse SoCal bedroom community, Cunningham gained extraordinary access to parties and partisans on all sides, including McInerney's family, attorneys for the defense and prosecution, the LGBT activists who quickly mobilized into action, and the surprisingly robust constituency (including more than a few teachers and other authority figures) who rally behind McInerney as the real victim here. The result is both a vastly superior work to last year's pro forma Bully, and an unforgettable, troubling close-up of small-town America at a moral and ethical crossroads.
Never to be counted out, the concurrent Slamdance festival — once a nose-thumbing startup — is now, after 18 years, practically an éminence grise itself, and always good for one or two finds of its own. This year, one of those is Spencer McCall's
The Institute, a documentary portrait of the Jejune Institute, an elaborate "alternate reality game" that unfolded on the streets of San Francisco from 2008 to 2011. The bait was an est-like self-help org concocted by producer/creator Jeff Hull and advertised through flyers and other guerilla marketing techniques; the game itself was an elaborate scavenger hunt combining urban exploration with the search for a missing woman and a general promise of heightened self-awareness. Think a somewhat goofier, new-agey version of the gauntlet run by Michael Douglas's self-absorbed businessman in The Game, and you begin to get the idea. Thousands of people for whom everyday life is evidently not exciting enough happily took the plunge. McCall recounts this all in playfully subversive fashion, attempting to replicate in cinematic terms the experience of participating in the game itself. Rarely have I felt so absorbed by a movie about people I found so incredibly annoying.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2006--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service today announced that it is inviting interested parties to submit an "expression of interest" to partner with APHIS to produce sterile fruit flies at a federal rearing facility, or to purchase the insects from a privately owned company, state or foreign government.
Recognizing the need to establish a secondary source for sterile fruit fly production, APHIS officials are exploring options for constructing a multi-species rearing facility to produce 550 million Mediterranean and 150 million Mexican fruit flies per week. APHIS is also considering privatizing production of the insects, which are used to respond to emergency outbreaks and to maintain preventive release programs in California, Florida and Texas.
Reared Mediterranean fruit flies (Medflies) are sterilized with a small amount of irradiation and released into areas where they mate with wild Medflies. The matings do not produce offspring, eventually eliminating the wild population through attrition.
Establishing a secondary source for sterile fruit fly production supports APHIS' Exotic Fruit Fly Strategic Plan, which incorporates surveillance activities, control programs and regulatory actions to safeguard American agriculture against a number of fruit fly species, including Mediterranean, Mexican and Oriental fruit flies.
Over the next five years, APHIS officials, working with both domestic and international partners, intend to bolster USDA's capacity to control fruit flies, which are considered one of the most destructive pests of fruits and vegetables in the world.
Note to Reporters: USDA news releases, program announcements and media advisories are available on the Internet. Go to the APHIS news release page at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/lpa/newsroom. Also, anyone with an e-mail address can sign up to receive APHIS press releases automatically. Send an e-mail message to firstname.lastname@example.com and leave the subject blank.

It is an important time of year for religious communities in Aiken County and elsewhere. Christians are celebrating Holy Week while Jews are observing Passover.
"When Holy Week and Passover overlap, it reminds us how Christians and Jews are cousins in faith," said Dr. Fred Andrea III, senior pastor of First Baptist Church.
Holy Week is the last week of Lent and the week before Easter. It began yesterday with Palm Sunday and will continue through Holy Saturday (March 30). It also includes the religious holidays of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.
During Holy Week, Christians think about the events preceding Jesus Christ's death, starting with his triumphant entry into Jerusalem while riding a donkey. That was followed by Jesus' betrayal by Judas, his Last Supper with his 12 apostles and his crucifixion.
"It is a time when we who commit to follow Jesus all year long, re-experience the final week of his life, reflecting on his passion and renewing our joyful obedience to live in a loving relationship with God and others," Andrea said. "It's a rollercoaster-of-a-ride week, and it enriches the way in which we can celebrate the great joy of Easter and the resurrection."
Easter Sunday is March 31.
Passover starts today at sundown and ends the evening of April 2.
The Passover Seder is a ritual central to Judaism – a richly religious experience marking the exodus from slavery in Egypt with an elaborate meal of symbolic foods, prayers, stories and blessings.
But it plays an important role in Christianity, too – a transformative experience marking Jesus freeing his followers from sin through the Passover meal and his subsequent martyrdom.
Though certain branches of the Church and scholars disagree, it is generally held that The Last Supper was a Passover Seder.
The synoptic gospels reference the preparations for the Passover feast and Jesus' eagerness to share it with his disciples.
In the gospel of Luke, it is written that Jesus said, "With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." Whereupon Jesus is said to have offered Eucharist.
The directions given on the observance of the Passover feast, described in Exodus, are to slaughter a lamb, roast it and consume it with bitter herbs and unleavened bread.
In the New Testament, Jesus puts himself in place of the lamb's blood, through the drinking of wine, and the lamb's meat, through the eating of unleavened bread. This action is seen by many denominations as the genesis of the Christian church as Jesus is said to offer a new covenant.

I can bear the shame no longer, and the truth must be revealed - I do not know how to touch type!
I spend the majority of my day, and lets be honest, more time I should at home, in front of a computer. I'm a programmer, and not an author, so I don't need to go 80 words/min, and I've gotten pretty good at -hunt-and-peck, but I want to learn how to type. A quick google search comes up with dozens of programs, each of which would have me believe are the absolute last word in perfection.
I found this site - http://typing-software-re...software-definitions.html, which compares some of them.
