Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones each homered for the second straight game as the Atlanta Braves beat host Los Angeles, 5-2, yesterday to knock the Dodgers out of first place for the first time since April 28.
The NL East-leading Braves won for the 10th time in 14 games. The Dodgers lost their fourth in five games to fall one game behind the Diamondbacks in the West.
Andruw Jones gave the Braves a 3-2 lead in the seventh by hitting a full-count pitch from Wilson Alvarez (1-1) into the lower seats in the left-field corner for his third homer in two games and ninth of the season.
The Braves had tied it off Scott Erickson in the sixth on a leadoff single by starter Tim Hudson and a two-out, two-run homer by Chipper Jones, his second in as many games and seventh of the year.
The Braves scored twice off Yhency Brazoban in the ninth when Adam LaRoche hit his sixth homer, Andruw Jones doubled, moved to third on a fly ball by Johnny Estrada, and scored on Ryan Langerhans's sacrifice fly.
Hudson (4-2) allowed nine hits and two runs in six innings while walking two, hitting a batter, and striking out five.
The Dodgers scored in the second on a two-out double by Ricky Ledee and a single by Hee-Seop Choi, and made it 2-0 in the fourth when Milton Bradley beat out a grounder to deep short, took second on Rafael Furcal's throwing error, and came home on a single by Ledee.
Astros 9, Giants 0 -- Morgan Ensberg hit three home runs and Brandon Backe (3-2) pitched a four-hitter for his first major league shutout as Houston romped at home.
Ensberg hit a three-run homer in the first off Jeff Fassero (0-1), a solo homer off Jeremy Accardo in the fifth, and another solo shot in the seventh off Jason Christiansen.
Cardinals 4, Mets 2 -- John Mabry homered and drove in three runs for St. Louis in support of Matt Morris (3-0), who held down host New York for 7{dbcomma} innings.
Phillies 4, Reds 3 -- Vicente Padilla pitched six scoreless innings for his first win and was backed by solo homers from Chase Utley and Bobby Abreu in Philadelphia's home win.
Nationals 5, Cubs 4 -- Nick Johnson hit a two-run homer off Greg Maddux in the fifth and Chicago second baseman Neifi Perez made two errors during a rainy sixth that led to the go-ahead run for host Washington.
Padres 12, Marlins 4 -- Dave Roberts hit a three-run homer and Brian Giles added a two-run single in a 10-run seventh for the Padres, who swept Florida for the first time ever in a three-game series in San Diego.
Diamondbacks 5, Rockies 4 -- Craig Counsell's first homer since July gave Arizona a seventh-inning lead and Alex Cintron's double in the eighth drove in the deciding run in Denver.
Pirates 4, Brewers 2 -- Daryle Ward homered and drove in two runs to help host Pittsburgh to its ninth win in 12 games.

Brief HELP with categories showing up and footer
I'm a newbie to blogging with WordPress and really all that entails. Anyway, having two problems configuring the free Arthemia theme.
1) I have added several categories, but only two are showing up on my main page. I cannot figure out why for the life of me. How can I list all five categories?
2) If you click on a post, what looks to be the footer runs all the way to the top. Giving me cluttered outlines and whiteboxes on the sidebar. How did I fix this back to white?
Here's the link to my in-the-works-blog:

Biovest International, Inc., whose manufacturing plant is in Coon Rapids, recently had a regulatory meeting with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in London, England.
The EMA provided Biovest with information to help finalize Biovest's pending Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) seeking EU marketing approval for BiovaxID.
The meeting addressed legal, regulatory and scientific matters for the planned MAA to facilitate subsequent application validation and assessment.
Biovest believes that the meeting with the EMA was favorable and will support final preparation and filing of the MAA anticipated for early next year, according to the press release.
Based on the meeting, Biovest anticipates that the filing and review of the application will proceed in a timely and customary manner. Next steps in the pre-submission process will include upcoming meetings planned with the rapporteur and co-rapporteur.
They are members of the EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) and are supported by a team of assessors from their national authority.
The rapporteur and co-rapporteur have been assigned with the primary responsibility of preparing and delivering an approvability evaluation report under the EMA's centralized procedure.
Under this procedure, a registration of BiovaxID throughout all EU-member countries can be obtained simultaneously via a single application.
On approval, BiovaxID would be the first cancer vaccine available in Europe for lymphoma patients, the press release states.
Headquartered in Tampa, Fla., Biovest is a majority-owned subsidiary of Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.

Incredible explosion caught on CCTV0:46
An explosion in a Mexico refinery has been caught on CCTV cameras
INCREDIBLE CCTV vision has emerged from a natural gas pipeline explosion in Mexico that killed at least 26 people, showing just quickly the inferno ripped through the plant.
An accidental leak is thought to have caused the September 18 explosion at the Pemex natural gas distribution plant in Reynosa which caused a wall of three-storey high flames to rip through the distribution centre in a the blink of an eye.
The CCTV footage shows trucks and workers coming into the plant on what appears to be a routine day. The plant, situated near the US border is operated by Mexico's state-owned oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos and the centre distributes gas to a processing plant next door which produces fuel.
Eyewitnesses said the ground shook briefly before the pipeline exploded. These moving images show the impact of the blast which is followed by a cloud of thick black smoke and fire which engulfs the entire site in a matter of seconds.
The site's workers said that they struggled to escape the raging blaze as the high razor-wire fence was difficult to climb over in a hurry.
"We had to climb the wall from that side because the fire, the heat was reaching us," 18 year old worker Vazquez later told The Seattle Times.
Towards the end of the one minute and thirty second clip, a worker can be seen crawling on his stomach under the flames as he attempts to move towards an outbuilding in an attempt to reach safety.
At least 26 people died in the explosion and the fire which followed and another 46 were injured in the blast.
Ranches and homes within five kilometres of the site were evacuated, though emergency workers managed to bring the blaze under control before it could spread to the neighbouring gas plant.
While gasoline and diesel pipelines are routinely tapped by thieves in Mexico, officials said it was rare for natural gas pipelines to be targeted by robbers.

Public Price Reporting, Marketing Channel Selection, and Price Discovery: The Perspective of Cow/Calf Producers in the Dakotas
Cow/calf producers operating in the Dakotas were surveyed on their price discovery strategies, marketing channel preferences, and their perceptions of how regime change in the public price reporting system for fed cattle affected the beef industry in general and the cow/calf industry in particular. Survey results indicate cow/calf producers consider local institutions (auction barns, etc.) to be more reliable for price discovery than regional or national institutions (futures market, USDA public price reports, satellite auctions, etc.). The auction barn marketing channel is the preferred channel for marketing cattle and is considered the most reliable source of market information by producers. Dakota cow/calf producers perceive livestock mandatory price reporting as benefiting the beef industry in general, but consider public price reports to be less reliable than local sources of market information.

Lava Xolo X900 Review - The First Intel Medfield Phoneby Brian Klug on April 25, 2012 6:00 AM EST
Android on x86 and Binary Translation
Android itself is actually an ideal platform for Intel to target, as the vast majority of Android applications in the Play Store run atop the Dalvik VM and use the Android Framework (75–80% are commonly cited numbers, depending on how you're counting). The rest either are Dalvik VM applications that run and use JNI (Java Native Interface) libraries that are built for ARM only, or NDK (Native Development Kit) applications. So where does Intel's binary translation secret sauce fit into all this? Simply put, Intel's binary translation is the mitigation for both libraries and NDK applications that haven't yet been ported to x86, and allows the device to expose itself as supporting two application binary interfaces (ABIs), both x86 and ARMv5, in fact this is easy enough to see upon superficial inspection of build.prop:
ro.product.cpu.abi=x86 ... ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
In the case of Dalvik applications, developers don't need to do anything. Thankfully again this is the vast majority of Android applications you encounter on a daily basis - they just work, given that Intel has made Dalvik work with x86 and spit out the right machine code.
NDK applications are also easy enough to mitigate - the developer simply needs to recompile the NDK project, which supports ARMv5 ('armeabi'), ARMv7 ('armeabi-v7a'), and x86 ('x86'). Building for x86 will deliver code that's tailored (unsurprisingly) exactly to the Saltwell CPU feature set, or more explicitly what you'd get by running GCC with the compiler flags "-march=i686 -msse3 -mstackrealign -mfpmath=sse" - this is all outlined in the CPU-ARCH-ABIS.html document as part of the NDK documentation. The resulting APK can be packaged as a "fat binary" with machine code for all three platforms, and upon install only the proper one is unpacked and installed.
The remaining two cases are where binary translation come in. In the case of applications that haven't been rebuilt with the NDK to target x86, the binary translator magic kicks in and translates the armeabi version into x86. The same applies for applications that request some JNI libraries that are currently ARM only.
Intel outlines this in a number of slides which have made their way online, and the process is virtually completely transparent to end users and Dalvik applications. The x86 compatible Dalvik VM is a part of the OS, as are the ARM to Atom BT phase for JNI libraries.
ARM native NDK apps on the other hand are translated by Intel in the cloud, validated against Intel's Android x86 emulator and pushed to the Play Store. The point is the bulk of binary translation happens away from the device itself and running on much faster Xeons in the cloud. As binary translation requires more cycles than natively running the code, which in turn consumes additional power, this was the only route for Intel to ensure that Atom would remain power efficient (and high performance) even on non-native NDK apps. Update: Intel has clarified and informed us there is no cloud aspect to binary translation, it is 100% done on the device for ARM NDK applications.
It's still unclear just how long this process takes after a developer has uploaded a non-x86 NDK app to the Play Store, or what happens if the process fails to validate for whatever reason (Does Intel get in touch with the developer? Is the app forever excluded?). Intel is being unusually vague about how all of this works unfortunately.
The combination of all of these efforts should result in over 90% of the apps in the Play Store working right away. What about in our experience? We discuss that next.
Software: Nearly Flawless
The X900 that I was sent came running Android 2.3.7, which is the latest version on the 2.3 branch. Xolo intends to deliver an Android 4.0.3 update later, and Intel internally has its own 4.0.x image stable and ready to go, which we've seen running on the FFRD a bunch before. It's a bit odd to see things going this way when 4.0.x is clearly already ready, but no doubt some logistical issues with carrier support are the final hurdle. I'm eager to check out Intel's 4.0.x port and intend to update when that happens.
Xolo and Intel have basically left things entirely stock with the X900. The notifications shade has one minor positive change - inclusion of the power controls, and Swype is bundled in addition to the stock Android 2.3 keyboard. There's one Xolo Care support application preloaded, and basically nothing else. I can honestly say this is the least preloaded junk I've ever seen on a non-Nexus device.
So the next logical step is talking about how well Android and its apps work on x86 in practice, and the answer is unsurprisingly that almost everything is perfect. I installed about 80% of all the Android applications I've ever installed on any Android phone (thanks to the new Google Play 'All' tab) and nearly all of them worked perfectly. In fact, all of my daily driver applications work flawlessly: Twitter for Android, Baconreader, Speedtest.net, Barcode Scanner, Astro, Dropbox, Facebook, GPS Test Plus, GPS Status, Instagram, IP Cam Viewer, GTA III, Remote Desktop, Swiftkey X, and WiFi Analyzer all work perfectly.
That said there are indeed a few edge cases where things don't seem to be perfect. For one, Flash 11 isn't available for the X900, and throws an error in the market. The device does come preloaded running Flash 10.3 however, which gets the job done although is a bit dated. In addition, although Netflix would download, the installer would throw a 'package file invalid' error upon install. This is what leads me to think there's some APK interception in the cloud and perhaps translation up there, and Netflix DRM not translating, but that's speculation. Other than this, everything else I encountered works flawlessly, I wager your average Android user wouldn't be able to tell that this is running on a completely different architecture.

kyuu - Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - linkI dunno what review you all were reading, but I didn't see average performance. I saw it pretty much beating everything else save the HTC One S/X with only a single-core and running an old version of Android. Wth ICS, it'd probably be at the top easily.
Sure, ARM isn't sitting still, but is Intel. I have no desire to see Intel overtake the market, but I can easily see Intel being the performance king by a good margin in the mobile SoC market when they release their next SoC.
Also, for people saying cost is a factor... do you have any source to back up the claim that Intel's SoC is significantly more costly? All I see are assumptions. Reply
kyuu - Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - linkThat's "neither is Intel" in the second paragraph, first sentence. Reply
UpSpin - Thursday, April 26, 2012 - linkSunSpider and Browsermark results are that good because of software tweaks done by Intel. Intel tweaked a lot in software, thus I doubt that ICS will improve anything further.
Linpack single threaded, that's the most important benchmark to compare raw processing power without software tweaks. It shows that Medifield is faster than ARM A9, a good sign, but slower than Krait and thus all soon to get released A15 cores, a bad sign.
Linpack multi threaded shows that Medfield has not the slightest chance vs. Krait and ARM A15, most of them will be dual core SoCs, but even if they get produced in single core varients they will be faster (Linpack single threaded). Medifield also gets beaten by Quad Core A9 chips (all new high end smartphones pack either a Quad Core A9, or dual Core krait/A15). Medfield is at best, as fast as a dual core A9 (raw processing power).
Then take a look at the GPU: Poor performance for todays standards. Slower than the SGSII, slightly faster than the Galaxy Nexus, which has a slow GPU, too.
Power consumption: poor to average. (sadly we don't have numbers for Krait or Tegra 3 (HTC One X/S)
The SoC is not bad at all, but its release date is one year too late. This year is the year of Krait and A15, which beat Medfield in single threaded applications and are at least dual cores, so more than twice as fast. The integrated GPU is pretty weak, too, especially if you consider that this years ARM SoCs have a much better GPU.
Additionally x86, the advantage is huge software tweaks thanks to Intel, the disadvantage, custom skins/apps/features made by third party manufacturers won't run that easily. Reply
Linpack is also a lousy benchmark. Any serious vector FP code on a phone (like matrix stuff for a game) would use SIMD with compiler intrinsics or ASM, and probably single precision over double precision. But even as a Dalvik double precision floating point test it sucks because it's not tiled and therefore heavily bandwidth limited.
Basically, most of the benchmarks used are awful. Reply
clockerspiel - Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - linkThe cell phone industry desparately needs a "flagship" representative for the Android ecosystem - and this ain't it! Reply
jjj - Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - linkYou can't normalize battery life unless you factor in the screen size since the screen uses a lot of power and the handset's volume is directly related to the screen size and battery size.
By normalizing you are making things worse than better.If you can't measure the power consumption for just the SoC you might as well just provide the system's battery life since,in the end, that's what matters anyway.
It is what it is,you can't take out the screen or the RAM or the NAND but that's no reason to make things worse with tests that distort the reality instead of helping. Reply
menting - Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - linkuhh, it's not measuring the power consumption for the SoC, it's measuring the whole phone's power usage. So in this case, normalizing IS a valid way to go about this. Reply
plamengv - Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - linkIt is beyond me why Intel will market x86 CPU with OS that has nothing to do with x86. The people who want Android will always go with the better looking and cheaper device. Something that this device is not. The other with knowledge will go for iPhone because there is no other alternative. Windows Phone is from professional point of view worse than Windows Mobile 6.5 and lacks lot of features. Intel had to bet on Windows 7 turning the smartphones into UMPC. Imagine Viliv S5 shrinked to Galaxy Note but running Windows 7! Well maybe Haswell and 22nm will finally make it. Reply
menting - Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - linkandroid was built from Linux..tell me where Linux has nothing to do with x86. And with future android versions including x86 compiles by default., x86 or not isn't an issue.
The X900 is a reference design, who says other companies can't put a different external case on it? And where's proof that it will be more expensive? Reply
superPC - Thursday, April 26, 2012 - linkwhy windows 7? windows 8 would be a lot better suited for something similar with this phone (with compatible GPU). Reply

Suspect arrested, charged in Raleigh triple shooting
Posted January 10, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — A 24-year-old was arrested and charged Friday in connection with a shooting in southeast Raleigh that injured three people Thursday afternoon, police said.
According to police, Joel Fitzgerald Hamlin Jr. was charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Police responded to the shooting around 2:30 p.m. Thursday in the area of Coleman and Tipton streets, according to Jim Sughrue, a spokesman for the Raleigh Police Department.
Authorities identified the victims of the shooting as Anthony Marcell McLean Jr., 23, Sandy Lammaric Spence, 29, and Joshua Qurain Walker, 22.
None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, Sughrue said.
Police haven't said if the shooter and the victims knew one another nor have they commented on a possible motive.
Ligon Middle School, Hunter Elementary School and Carnage Middle School were placed on a lockdown as a precaution, the school system said. It was lifted around 3:15 p.m Thursday.
Hamlin was taken to the Wake County Detention Center.

Last spring Mumford & Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros embarked on the Railroad Revival Tour, which saw the three bands traverse the country together via vintage train cars. The throwback tour, which got its inspiration from the famed 1970 Festival Express tour that transported the likes of the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and The Band across Canada, began in Oakland and ended in New Orleans, stopped in six cities along the cross-country route, where the bands performed at a series of unique outdoor venues.
The entire experience of traveling, living and performing over the course of the six day trip was documented by a film crew, and is now being released as a documentary entitled the Big Easy Express, and will premiere at this year's SXSW. Let's check out the trailer…

Finally, over the last few years the Grammy awards have built buzz around a series of "mash up" performances that have featured both cross-genre acts, as well as legacy and up and coming bands performing together to various degrees of success. While we were quite enamored with last year's pairing of Mumford & Sons, The Avett Brothers and Bob Dylan, we're not quite so confident that this year's announced pairings will even be worth tuning in for on Sunday night. For their first public performance in over 20 years, the surviving members of the Beach Boys will be joined by Maroon 5 and Foster The People, while the Foo Fighters will participate in something that's being billed as "a special segment spotlighting dance/electronica music" alongside Deadmau5, Chris Brown, David Guetta and Lil' Wayne. In addition to these potential train wrecks, the telecast will also feature a performances by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, and Adele, who is likely to collect trophies for just about everything she's been nominated for.

Benefit in honor of Corey Hill held at Benjamin's in Armory Square
Sat, 27 Jul 2013 20:36:22 GMT —
A benefit in honor of Corey Hill is held at Benjaminâ??s in Armory Square Saturday. The 33-year-old Hill was shot to death while walking a friend home from work in June.
ozens came to Benjamin's in Armory Square today to remember Corey Hill, someone who loved ones say was taken too soon.
Brian Disinger is one of Corey's friends. "Last month was an absolute shock, couldn't believe it happened. I had seen him that evening that it happened. We had hung out for a little while that night. He left and he met his friend and I found out Monday morning. It was a total and complete shock," says Disinger.
Friends like Disinger and Scott Leroy say today's benefit is not meant to be sad, instead it's meant to be a reflection of the positive and happy life Corey lived.
"That's what this is about it's a celebration, like I said Corey was always fun always. Even if he was doing something that he didn't like he was always smiling always happy, he was just a happy upbeat kid," says Leroy.
His friends are now starting a scholarship in Corey's name to keep his memory alive. The money will help a college bound student-athlete from Nottingham high school where Corey played baseball. His friends say they'll be looking for a student who has the same qualities they say Corey did, generosity, selflessness and loyalty.
Corey was a friend to everyone he always had a smile on his face. Everybody was always happy around him. He was a very generous person a good friend to everyone and we wanted to take today to celebrate that and at the same time turn something tragic into something good by starting a scholarship fund
," says Disinger.
His friends want to continue the scholarship indefinitely, helping as many students as they can, while also making sure Corey is never forgotten.
For more information on how to donate to the fund, email email@example.com.

This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 08/790,463, filed Jan. 29, 1997.
The present invention relates in general to memory modules, and particularly to methods and apparatus for implementing error correcting code separate from the memory circuits in memory modules.
Systems for storing and recalling information have been developed over the years in conjunction with the advances in computing technology. One of the primary considerations in architecting these memory systems is the ability to accurately read the incoming information and reproduce it correctly when writing it out again. Such electronically-represented information is comprised of a series of bits, each bit having a total of two possible states. It is recognized that a change in the value of a single bit can greatly affect the outcome of a mathematical operation or the meaning of the recorded information. Completely error-free transmission is as-of-yet unattainable. Data errors introduced during transmission, however, can be greatly reduced by the use of parity bits. Simply described, additional bits are added to the string of data bits in a predetermined pattern such that if an error is later introduced the error is detectable and often able to be corrected by logic at the receiving end. One of the better-known codes employed to provide such an error management system was developed by R. W. Hamming and is referred to as Hamming code. In its simplest form a message is divided into fixed-length blocks of bits where some of the bits are data bits and the rest of the bits are check bits which are set according to the Hamming code pattern. The ratio of data bits to check bits is such that in any one block any double-bit error can be detected and all single-bit errors are corrected.
There is a cost associated with the described error management process. The standard method of implementing such error correcting code in memories is to incorporate error correction code in the memory circuitry. This type of implementation results in a reduction in amount of memory available for data because of the increased overhead necessary to manage the check bits. For example, each thirty-two bit data word requires an additional seven bits to hold the verification code, necessitating a thirty-nine bit wide memory. Thus the commonly-used thirty-six bit wide single in-line memory module (SIMM) is not available to be used, although this is a conventional and popular size SIMM. In addition, SIMMS are typically created using memory modules that are four, eight, nine, sixteen, or eighteen bits wide. As a result the amount of memory required must be selected as multiples of these sizes. This may require extra memory space to store differently configured memory. This phenomenon was noted by Stanley Wolf, Ph.D. in Silicon Processing for the VLSI Era (1990). Wolf noted that the addition of parity bits imposed a memory area penalty, requiring up to 27% more memory cells to store the same amount of data.
Different approaches have been taken to address this limitation. One known method is to provide the additional space for the check bits, and accept the increased cost in non-standard SIMMS and reduced amount of area available for memory as a trade-off for reliable data. Other methods add circuitry to the memory device itself. An example of this method is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,481,552, entitled "Method and Structure for Providing Error Correction Code for 8-byte Data Words on SIMM Cards", and issued to Aldereguia et al. Aldereguia discloses a method of associating a system of latches with a memory such that the check bits for each data word are stored separately from the data bits. The system described by Aldereguia allows the conventional 36-bit SIMMS to be used, but doubles the number of memory reads or writes for each data access. U.S. Pat. No. 4,926,426, issued to Scheuneman et al. and entitled "Error Correction Check During Write Cycles", discloses another method of incorporating error correction code in memory devices. Scheuneman describes coupling an error checking and correction circuit with the output means within a dynamic random access memory such that errors may be detected during the read and write cycles. Both of these applications place additional circuitry within the already crowded memory device itself. There remains a need for an error correction system which does not impinge on the valuable real estate of a memory device and which has minimal impact on the speed of memory accesses.
The present invention teaches a method and apparatus for providing reliable communication between a processor and memory devices. What is provided is a memory module comprising a plurality of independently addressable memory devices, a communication path for bi-directional data communication between the driver unit and an external processor, and error correction circuitry electrically located between the driver unit and the communication path. According to one embodiment a driver unit is connected to the plurality of independently addressable memory devices and control signal inputs. In another embodiment the error correction circuitry is incorporated into the driver unit.
In one embodiment the memory module includes a circuit board to which the memory devices are affixed. Another embodiment of the present invention comprises a processor and a memory module comprising error correction circuitry. In a further embodiment the error correction circuitry detects errors in communications between the memory module and an external processor. In another embodiment the error correction circuitry corrects errors in communications between the memory module and an external processor.
According to one embodiment of the invention the plurality of memory devices comprise dynamic random access memories (DRAMs). In another embodiment the plurality of memory devices comprise static random access memories (SRAMs). One embodiment provides memories which are directly mounted on the printed circuit board and environmentally encapsulated. Another embodiment provides memories which are wire-bonded to a lead frame and then encapsulated in plastic, the packaged memory devices then being electrically connected to the circuit board.
Another feature provided by the present invention is chip yield enhancement. In one embodiment of the present invention, the memory devices are sorted before they are included in the memory module, such that there is zero correlation of failing bits among the memories in any one memory module. Also provided is a method of populating a memory module, the memory module having a plurality of independently addressable memory devices and error detection circuitry. The method comprises the steps of testing individual memories to determine locations of defective cells, selecting a plurality of the individual memories such that there is no coincidence of the locations of defective cells among the selected plurality of individual memories, and mounting the selected plurality of individual memories on the memory module such that the error detection circuitry is electrically located between the plurality of memories and an external processor.

In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
Referring to FIG. 1, memory 100 is a dynamic random access memory (DRAM). DRAM 100 includes DRAM array 102 which can be accessed by microprocessor 104 through input/output communication paths including address lines 106. DRAM array 102 includes rows and columns of randomly addressable memory registers. DRAM 100 is accessed through address bus 106, data bus 116, and control bus 120. Control signals such as Row and Column Address Strobe signals RAS and CAS, Write Enable signal WE, an Output Enable signal OE, and other conventional control signals which are known to one skilled in the art are transmitted to DRAM 100 via control bus 120. Control logic 118 is used to control the many available functions of DRAM 100. Various control circuits and signals not detailed herein initiate and synchronize the DRAM operation as known to those skilled in the art. Row address latch/buffer 108 and row decoder 110 receive and decode a row address from a row address signal provided on address lines, and address a corresponding row of DRAM array 102. Likewise, column address latch/buffer 112 and column decoder 114 receive and decode a column address from a column address signal provided on address lines, and address the corresponding column of DRAM array 102. Data bus 116 receives memory register data during a write cycle from the microprocessor for writing to DRAM array 102. Data stored in DRAM 100 can be transferred during a read cycle on bus 116. Control logic 118 interprets WE to determine whether it is a read or write cycle. When WE is low it is a write cycle and when it is high it is a read cycle. As stated above, the DRAM description has been simplified for purposes of illustrating the present invention and is not intended to be a complete description of all the features of a DRAM. Other types of memories, such as static random access memory (SRAM), synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), video random access memory (VRAM), and EDO and BEDO DRAMs may also employ the method of the invention.
One means by which memory devices such as those described above are integrated into a computer system is through the use of single in-line memory modules (SIMMs). The basic structure of a SIMM is well-known in the art. One example of a conventional SIMM is shown in FIG. 2. A plurality of DRAM devices 100-100′″ are mounted on a circuit board 200. Circuit board 200 embodies driver unit 220 through which the control bus 120 for each memory device is multiplexed. The drive circuit is needed to provide sufficiently strong control signals for all of the memory devices 100. A voltage regulator circuit can also be incorporated into the driver circuit or provided as a separate component. The plurality of memory devices 100-100′″ embodied in the SIMM thus appear to and interact with the computer's central processing unit as a single memory module, and control information is transmitted to and from the SIMM via communication path 230 and pinouts 240. Data communication is performed using bi-directional data communication line 232. In one embodiment DRAM devices 100-100′″ are integrated circuit chips which are mounted directly on circuit board 200 and environmentally encapsulated. In another embodiment DRAM devices 100-100′″ are integrated circuit chips which are individually wire-bonded to a lead frame and encapsulated in plastic. The packaged DRAMS are then electrically connected to the circuit board using standard attachment techniques. It is to be recognized that other memory structures, such as DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules) or MCMs (multi-chip modules) may be employed in the same fashion.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a SIMM designed to fit into a standard memory socket, including JEDEC standard memory module pinouts and mechanical dimensions. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, however, that this package can be any configuration used in memory circuit and computer bus designs. The SIMM description addresses only the salient points of the architecture and is not intended as an in-depth description of all of the features of a SIMM. For the sake of illustration, only communication path 230 and a portion of the pinouts 240 are included in the figures. One skilled in the art, however, will recognize that there are a number of input/output lines on the memory module for communicating data, address, and control information between the memory module and the processor.
In the conventional memory module of FIG. 2, in order to ensure that a functional memory cell is being accessed, the architecture must include either redundancy or error management processing external to the memory module. This adds expense in both processing time and manufacturing costs. The need for a means to verify and correct communications with memory devices results from the unavoidable fact that memory devices will have defects. Memory devices are typically manufactured with redundant circuits which can be programmed to replace defective cells after exhaustive testing is conducted to identify which cells on a memory chip has failed. The redundant cells are activated through the use of fuse and anti-fuse circuits. It will be appreciated that as the memory cell density is increased, more redundant cells are needed. As known to those skilled in the art, an anti-fuse is a normally open circuit which is shorted when programmed. A popular type of anti-fuse is a capacitor fabricated similar to a DRAM memory cell. The current oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) dielectric used in DRAM memory cell capacitors is ideal for anti-fuse fabrication. Anti-fuse fabrication is complicated, however, as a result the trend toward manufacturing DRAMs with a barium-strontium-titanium (BST) dielectric between the memory cell capacitor plates rather than the conventional ONO dielectric.
The expense of manufacturing high density memory devices which have no memory cell defects will increase and the manufacturing yield decreases. The system of the present invention solves this problem by integrating error correction technology into a memory module, complementing on-chip redundancy. FIG. 3 shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention. To eliminate the need for an additional component, error correction circuitry 300 is incorporated into a common package with driver unit 220. The error correction circuitry 300, described in more detail below, comprises circuitry for identifying and correcting data message transmission errors. Locating error correction circuitry 300 at the point of message transmission into or out of memory module 200 provides error-free output even when the memory devices 100 do not have all memory cells functional.
The present invention effectively increases the manufacturing yield of the memory devices by allowing the use of less-than-perfect chips. That is, the error correction circuit allows the use of normally defective memory devices. This is accomplished by pre-sorting the memory chips before installing them on a memory module such that there is zero correlation of failing cells among the memories of a memory module. During testing redundant cells can be used to correct defective memory cells. However, if there are more defects than available redundant cells the address locations of remaining defective cells are recorded. The addresses of failing cells on each chip can then be compared to find the best groupings for a memory module 200. As a result, memory devices which would normally be considered defective can be used.
The error correction circuitry 300 can be provided as a separate packaged component. In this embodiment, the error correction circuitry is electrically incorporated into the circuitry of memory module 200 between the plug interface 240 and the memory devices such that data communication lines 116 pass through the error correction circuitry. The error correction circuit uses the data control signals to identify when data is being written to the memories, or data is being read from the memories. Thus, WE* can be used by the error correction circuit to identify the direction of data transmission.
The error correction circuitry preferably serves as an interface between a memory module 200 and a central processing unit 104. In another embodiment, error correction circuitry can be used as an interface between two memory modules. With a memory module incorporating error correction circuitry, outgoing messages comprising blocks of bits are corrected and are transmitted error-free. Data messages coming into the memory module are processed through the error correction circuitry and check bits are generated and appended before each message is transmitted to the DRAMs. Check bits are employed by the error correction circuitry to ensure accuracy of the message when it is subsequently transmitted out of memory. The error correction circuitry is designed to have propagation delays of less than a few nanoseconds so the impact on overall processing speed is minimal.
FIG. 4 shows further detail of error correction circuitry 300. There are a variety of error correction algorithms, including parity checking, Hamming codes, and Reed-Solomon codes. Error correction algorithms are limited in the number of errors that they can detect or correct. As an example, a Hamming code can only detect two errors and correct one. Embodying the circuitry in a single location external to the DRAMS but through which all DRAMs are connected reduces redundant circuitry and frees up valuable real estate within the DRAMs. Incorporating the error correction circuitry on the memory module itself provides an essentially error-free memory module without requiring specialized input/output processing.
Error correction circuitry 300 of FIG. 4 preferably corrects data transmissions using a Hamming code. Thus, each seven bit word transmitted from error correction circuit 300 to memory devices 100 comprises four message bits and three check bits appended by the error correction circuitry 300 to correct the four message bits. Appending check bits increases the overhead associated with memory use, but the trend toward wider bandwidth memory boards minimizes the impact of the increased overhead. During a read operation, error communication circuitry 300 strips off the check bits as part of the process of verifying the message bits for out-going messages. Therefore, messages transmitted between the memory module and the 'outside world' (whether it be another memory device, the central processing unit, or some other circuitry) comprise four bit packages. It will be appreciated that circuitry employing other known error correction methods, such as parity checking or Reed-Solomon codes, may alternatively be used with the present invention.
FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a data processing system incorporating the present invention. Processor 104 is coupled to one or more memory modules 200. In one embodiment processor 104 is a 100 mhz Pentium� processor. Memory module 200 comprises one or more memory devices 100, driver unit 220, an optional voltage regulator 320, and error correction circuitry 300. Processor 104 exchanges control information via control lines 230 and data via bi-directional data communication path 232. Driver unit 220 is situated between processor 104 and memory devices 100, performing such tasks as multiplexing and demultiplexing control messages. Error correction circuitry 300 verifies and corrects data messages coming into or being sent from memory module 200. As stated above, driver unit 220, voltage regulator 320, and error correction circuitry 300 can be incorporated into a common integrated circuit package for a simplified memory module.
It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description. The scope of the invention should, therefore, be determined with reference to the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.

I have a DropDown in Word Ribbon that I would like to set with an initial value (like the GetText Callback for a ComboBox...which is working fine for a ComboBox that I also have).
I'm able to set my ComboBox, editBoxes, and even my toggleButtons based on initial information, but I can't get the DropDowns to setup correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the "GetSelectedItemIndex" callback?
Sub GetSelectedItemIndex(ByVal control As IRibbonControl, ByRef Index)
Select Case control.id
Case Is = "DD1"

Case Else
End Select
End Sub
Greg Maxey Please visit my website at: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm
Hi Greg,
Thanks for writing. I had tried the GetSelectedItemIndex at first but was initially unsuccessful. That's because I was returning the value of the "label" field instead of the "id" field (the label field just had a prefix on it). Once I
figured that out, it worked just fine.
Thanks again.

My wife and I are looking to purchase an older (1950s) 1500 sq. ft. bungalow in the Burlington/Hamilton area and are wanting to completely update it and change it from a 3 bed 1 bath configuration to a 2 bed 2 bath (converting one bedroom into an ensuite with extra closet space).
We expect to have to replace all wiring, heating, plumbing etc. as part of the job. We haven't done a reno in years and were looking to try to prepare a budget.
Can anyone give us a per sq. ft. rough estimate for a job like this?
I am not sure in your area, but over here it would be about $15,000 to $20,000.
Dan Brown, RHI
Lots of variables to consider and unexpected surprises, but you are looking at $15K to 50K depending on what you are putting in these areas. If you are thinking of updating other areas of the house at a later date, you probably don't want to do that. Just redo the entire place top to bottom and be done with it. That way you are not living there while the renos are happening. Just a thought.
Hi Dave,
I think the other guys are a little on the light side. I would put it in the $50,000 to $100,000 range as you are actually doing a total gut to the studs. That is what it is going to take to do all of the plumbing and electrical upgrades you mentioned. If the house is in original condition, it probably needs full insulation and may need some structural repair work as well.
There is a lot of "inside the walls" stuff that has to be done to bring it up to current codes before you close it up and start the finishes.
Just thinking about some rough numbers - flooring - $10.00 / sq ft? = $15,000
3 piece washroom - $6,000 - $10,000
4 piece washroom - $8,000 - $12,000
kitchen - $30,000 - $50,000
electrical - panel / service upgrade and full rewire - $6000 - $10,000
These are just "ish" type numbers but you can see how fast things can add up.
The most important thing you can do is to make a plan that includes everything from start to finishes, including a 15 - 20% contingency, get some actual quotes, and stick to the plan.
Sounds like a great project, good luck with it!

I have to more than double cleansed my face. I have tried cleansing oil, facial wipes, loreal make up remover followed by foam cleanser. It still leaves a white residue in my fingernails when i tried running my fingernails over my face. Indeed its the best oil free & lasting sunblock i tried so far....but the cleansing part is just too tiring!

AppealIt's hard to believe that someone as gorgeous as Maryse Ouellet would permit herself to get thrown around and banged up in a ring for fear of bruising any part of her sexy face or body. Maryse Ouellet has stated that the strenuous and sweaty excitement of taking on other semi-clad women in front of huge crowds gives her a huge adrenaline rush, which adds a unique and kinky dimension to her already extraordinary sex appeal.
While the foxy French Canadian lifts weights to build up the strength she needs to endure her battles in the ring, it doesn't mean she's been transformed into a muscular, masculine-like she-beast. Au contraire, as Ms. Maryse Ouellet's hectic training schedule has kept her amazingly lean, tight and curvy in all the right places. We wouldn't mind getting smacked downed and pinned to the canvas by Maryse Ouellet any time, any place, any where.
SuccessMaryse Ouellet began her career in the public eye as a prize-winning bikini pageant contestant, and parlayed that success into an interim career as a glamor model. She earned more exposure through appearances in the pages and on the covers of Playboy magazine's Special Editions, in addition to the publication's 2007 Canadian calendar.
While her competition as a beauty queen/sex kitten has been fairly fierce, it's been nothing compared to the battles she's faced in the WWE wrestling ring. Although she initially beat out about 20,000 hopefuls in World Wrestling Entertainment's Diva Search contest, she was eliminated during her second week of competition. Despite her quick departure, the contest increased her celebrity status exponentially.
Her official website welcomed around 15,000 visitors during its first year, but that number doubled in the first two days following her debut on the Diva Search.
Maryse Ouellet BiographyMaryse Ouellet was born on January 21, 1983, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She has enjoyed participating in all sorts of sporting activities since she was a child, and in addition to excelling in swimming, mountain biking and running, she learned ballet and other forms of dance as a youth. Martial arts have also played an important role in her athletic development. She won her first competition at the age of 12 in Kyokushin-style karate, and she's also practiced judo and kickboxing.
Maryse Ouellet began entering beauty contests several years later and quickly became a sensation on the pageant circuit. When she was 20 she won the Miss Hawaiian Tropic Canada 2003 competition, and placed second at the 2004 Miss Hawaiian Tropic International Finals. That success helped open doors for her as she soon launched a career as a glamor model. Some of her most high-profile modeling gigs have been for Playboy, including as a cover girl for the June/July 2006 edition of Playboy Special Editions Vixens as well as for the publication's Girls of Canada 2007calendar.
maryse ouellet enters wwe's diva searchIn 2006, Maryse Ouellet beat out thousands of applicants to earn a spot as one of eight finalists in the World Wrestling Entertainment's Diva Search competition. Although she was the second competitor to be eliminated, she was signed to a development contract a month later and began attending the WWE's Ohio Valley Wrestling training facility that summer. Before making her official debut in the ring, she took part in bikini contests and backstage segments for OVW. She also appeared in pre-taped segments welcoming viewers in both French and English to Friday Night SmackDown!
Maryse Ouellet made her WWE ring debut on December 16, 2006, at a Greensburg, Kentucky house show, where she and team partners She Nay Nay, Kelly Kelly, Victoria Crawford, and Katie Lea defeated ODB, Melody, Josie, Milena Roucka, and Beth Phoenix. During the spring of 2007, Maryse Ouellet began filming backstage interviews for OVW-TV and participated in the Miss OVW competition. That May, accompanied by the strains of her "All Summer Long" entrance theme, she appeared on WWE RAW to present Timbaland's "Throw It On Me" music video. She's featured in the clip along with other lady wrestlers such as Ashley, Kelly Kelly, Brooke, Torrie Wilson, and Layla El.
maryse ouellet moves to floridaNot long after taking part in the 2007 OVW Divalympics, Maryse Ouellet was transferred from Ohio to the newly opened Florida Championship Wrestling development facility in Tampa. She made her FCW debut as Ryan O'Reilly's valet that September. Following Ryan O'Reilly's departure from the WWE in October, Maryse Ouellet began competing in singles and tag-team contests. That same month she teamed with Michelle McCool as part of the WWE European Tour, in which she and her partner defeated Victoria & Katie Lea. Maryse Ouellet also appeared on a February 2008 Smackdown! episode along with Teddy Long.

Rain dampens New Richmond's chances in MBC boys golf race
Rain washed away Middle Border Conference boys golf matches the past two Mondays, and with them, it severely cut down New Richmond's chances of catching Osceola in the race for the conference title.
Heading into Tuesday's MBC tournament, it appears that the two rainouts won't be made up and no extra scoring will be added to Tuesday's tournament to compensate for the lost meets.
The two lost meets severely hurt the Tigers' chances of catching Osceola. The Chieftains held a four-point lead heading into Tuesday's conference meet.
The Tigers have been gaining ground on Osceola in recent matches, including beating the Chieftains by one stroke in an MBC match played at Bristol Ridge Golf Club in Somerset last Tuesday. The Tigers finished at 171, with the Chieftains at 172. Somerset kept pressure on the leaders by shooting a 175 to finish in third place.
New Richmond coach Jim Saliny said it's good to see his team stepping up its game. He was also philosophical toward the lost chances to gain ground on the Chieftains.
"We should have played better early in the year," Saliny said.
Osceola's Dan Cronick was winning the medalist title in every MBC match early in the year, but in recent matches he's been surpassed by New Richmond senior Tanner Wisemiller. Wisemiller shot a 37 to produce the best score at Bristol Ridge. Cronick and Amery's Tyler Mathews tied for second place at 41.
New Richmond got a 43 from Kole Hallmark, 44 from Jack Leverentz and 47s from Connor McCann and Charlie L'Allier to edge Osceola on Somerset's challenging home course.
The Spartans kept the heat on the two leaders. Freshman Wil Gauper tied for third place in the match by shooting 42. He was followed by Zach Bahr at 43, Alex Lahde at 44, Danny Green at 46 and Hunter Iverson at 47.
Somerset also played in a pair of non-conference tournaments last week and won them both. They tied Ellsworth for the title at the Colfax Invite last Wednesday, with the Spartans winning the tie breaker. Somerset finished with a 327 score. Gauper produced another low score, earning medalist honors by shooting a 76. Green finished with a 79 and Bahr with an 84.
The Spartans also were champions at Spring Valley on Friday. The Somerset boys produced a team record by finishing with a 311 team score for the day. Green and Gauper led the way, both shooting 75s.
SCC golfers
The Panthers continue to hang in the middle of the pack in the Dunn-St. Croix Conference golf race. The Panthers took fourth place in a D-SC match played at Colfax. This was the makeup of a match that was postponed the previous week at Spring Valley.
Central finished in fourth place with a team score of 192, six strokes behind third place Spring Valley. Glenwood City continues to dominate the D-SC matches, winning with a 166 score.
Tyler Anderson and Tyler Koats led the Panthers in Thursday's match, both of them shooting 46. Jonah Tczap shot 48, Tyler Dennis 52 and Drew Malecek 56.
The Dunn-St. Croix Conference tournament was scheduled for Monday, but it was one of the casualties of the heavy rains that rolled through the area. The tournament, being played at Pheasant Hills Golf Course in Hammond, did get started on Monday. It will be resumed this Thursday.
WIAA tournaments
The WIAA tournament series begins next Wednesday, with New Richmond and Somerset both hosting WIAA regional meets.
New Richmond's Division 1 regional meet includes Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire Memorial, Eau Claire North, Hudson, Menomonie, Rice Lake, River Falls and Superior. Play at the New Richmond Golf Club is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
Somerset will hold the WIAA Division 2 regional tournament at Somerset's Bristol Ridge Golf Course next Wednesday. Teams joining the Spartans in that event include Altoona, Amery, Baldwin-Woodville, Bloomer, Durand, Ellsworth, Osceola, Prescott, St. Croix Central and St. Croix Falls. That meet also begins at 9 a.m.
Middle Border Conference match at Bristol Ridge
Team scores: New Richmond 171, Osceola 172, Somerset 175, Amery 181, Ellsworth 185, Durand 187, Prescott 216, Baldwin-Woodville 225
New Richmond scores
Tanner Wisemiller 37, Kole Hallmark 43, Jack Leverentz 44, Connor McCann 47, Charlie L'Allier 47
Somerset scores

BY now, economists generally agree that U.S. business is coming out of its long downturnbut how quickly is it likely to bounce back? TIME editors posed that question last week to the eight experts on the magazine's Board of Economists (see box). Their answers were remarkably similar. Walter Heller summed up: "The U.S. is beginning a long, slow climb back to full employment." The outlook, he said, is for "progress, but stagnancy." All the other members of the board basically concur. They foresee only small rises in production and profits next year, and predict a gradual lessening of inflation. The budget...

BIRMINGHAM, England - The rainy weather let up and the business end of the AEGON Classic finally got going Sunday, with the two remaining quarterfinals and both semifinals in the books. And at the end of it all, two sentimental favorites are through to the final: Jelena Jankovic and Melanie Oudin.
The final line-up is perhaps more impressive given both Jankovic and Oudin had double duty on Sunday, completing their quarterfinals and playing their semifinals too. In their quarterfinals, the No.5-seeded Jankovic beat Misaki Doi, 63 64, while qualifier Oudin edged fellow American Irina Falconi, 64 57 75.
Then the semifinals began. Oudin was the first to take the court, facing No.8 seed Ekaterina Makarova for a spot in her first WTA final - and that's exactly what she got, battling past the Russian left-hander in three, 64 36 62.
"I've played six or seven matches in a row here now and I feel my confidence building with each one," Oudin said. "I've always loved playing on grass. I think my forehand is one of my biggest weapons and since I hit it so flat it goes through the court a lot on grass. Then I can slice my backhand and hit drop shots too, so I've always thought grass suits my game really well.
"I feel like I'm showing Top 50 tennis again. I hope to get back up there."
Jankovic followed with a 67(2) 75 61 win over another qualifier, Zheng Jie, just six points from losing serving at 5-all 30-all in the second set but then reeling off eight of the next nine games for a runaway win over the tenacious Chinese.
"I had to play five sets today, but the most important thing is I was able to win both matches and get to the finals," Jankovic said. "Against Zheng I was able to start playing more aggressively as the match went on. Especially in that third set, my fifth set of the day, I was striking the ball well, serving and returning well. I really felt like I had saved my best tennis of the day for last.
"If we played the final too I could have had seven or eight sets in one day. But I could probably have done it. I would still be standing."
The final was postponed until Monday morning. Oudin beat Jankovic in their only previous meeting, which was on grass as well, breaking away from a set and 5-all down to win in the third round of Wimbledon in 2009, 67(8) 75 62.
"One thing I do remember about that match is someone told me right before that I was playing her on the Graveyard Court," Oudin said. "I was only 17 and she was someone I had looked up to. I knew I had a chance to win - I thought if other people could upset top players on that court, I could do it too. It was a really long match and I won, and that's the last time I played her."
The doubles draw was completed, with Timea Babos and Hsieh Su-Wei springing a big surprise on No.1 seeds Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond, winning the title with a 75 67(2) 108 win over the co-World No.1s. Huber and Raymond were up 8-4 in the match tie-break when Babos and Hsieh won six straight points and the title - Babos' first WTA doubles title, Hsieh's ninth.

If South Beach's fashionistas have a bit less spring in their high-heeled step of late, show some sympathy. After all, Camelot just ended. For the sartorially obsessed, the recent departure of Tom Ford from Gucci is akin to losing both John F. Kennedy and Jackie Onassis in one fell swoop. Indeed Ford was more than just the creative designer of the fashion house of Gucci. He elevated the very role of designer to rock-star heights, as much a flashbulb-worthy celeb as any of the Hollywood figures he clothed.
Accordingly, when Ford quit on November 4 rather than cede creative control to Gucci's majority owner, French conglomerate Pinault-Printemps Redoute, the fashion world was left reeling -- as duly reported by the trade bible Women's Wear Daily.
"It's shocking," gasped fellow designer Anna Sui. "Terrible," agreed Neiman Marcus senior vice president Joan Kaner. "A tragedy," shuddered Vanity Fair fashion director Elizabeth Saltzman. It's easy enough to dismiss this sackcloth routine as just so much melodrama from a crowd often oblivious to life beyond the runway ("If hemlines go down, the terrorists have won!").
But Women's Wear Daily was scarcely the only publication to wax apoplectic. The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times both ran dramatic front-page stories on Ford's loafer-clad feet heading for the door, asking breathlessly: "Will Gucci Still Be Gucci?" There was little humor in these pieces. Instead investment firm analysts at Bear Stearns and Morgan Stanley sounded just as concerned for the future as Donatella Versace -- a reminder that the fashion industry is just that, an industry, and one with repercussions far beyond the cultural sphere. Moreover, replacing Ford is a task much greater than a mere CEO shuffle.
In the wake of his 1995 ascension to Gucci's helm, Ford transformed the entire nature of the high-end fashion market, taking it from the catwalks to the streets, and in the process, catapulting Gucci from a scandal-plagued concern to a fashion behemoth that grosses more than two billion dollars.
"That growth can be directly traced to a spending-happy, luxury-loving world population that has been attracted to Ford's sexy jet-set, vaguely '70s idea of the Gucci universe," argues the Times's Lynn Hirschberg. And in a revolutionary flipping of the script, Hirschberg continues, "Gucci appeals to more than just the fashion intelligentsia -- it is a mass luxury, selling to aspirants at every price point, from the housewife who buys a Gucci wallet to the starlet who wears the line from head to toe."
It's no coincidence, then, that Ford's name should be intimately familiar to so many local nightcrawlers -- Hirschberg's analysis of Gucci applies equally to South Beach's own glitter. The city's ever-expanding sprawl of boutique hotels, VIP rooms, restaurant-cum-clubs, and condo developments are all financially reliant on both vacationing weekend warriors and more tonied snowbirds, with the mass presence of the former drawn magnetically to the latter.
This is a delicate balancing act, for city officials and Gucci execs alike. Should a certain rarefied swath decide that the Beach is, like, over, the respective economic effect would be no less devastating than Nicole Kidman deeming a Gucci gown no longer sufficiently chic for her arrival at the Academy Awards. As the fiduciary maxim goes, while a rising tide lifts all boats, the reverse is just as true.
To observe Ford's marketing genius, all you have to do is visit the Gucci store at the Bal Harbour Shops. Ford often speaks of the "Gucci woman" ("You know what she wants, you know what she's after") as opposed to, say, the archetypal woman of another Gucci subsidiary, Yves Saint Laurent ("You might have sex, but she will drip a little hot wax on you first"). If that sounds alluring while still impossibly hazy, well, that's the idea. On an evening last week, every woman entering Bal Harbour's Gucci shop seemed to feel they were indubitably a Gucci woman, or at least -- with the right purchases -- they could start to look like one.
A duo of elderly ladies-who-lunch dragged a grandchild inside, followed by a young Latina princess in thigh-high suede boots and revealing shorts. She in turn was lapped by a thirtysomething white-bread-looking couple pushing a baby carriage. And lest we forget Gucci's menswear, two Asian males sporting baggy hip-hop attire and cell phones pressed to their ears blew past a notepad-waving Kulchur, flashing the international sign for Talk to the hand without even breaking stride.
So how has Ford managed to be all things to all people?
"His designs are all about today's woman," matter-of-factly explains Kanchan Tolani, emerging from Gucci with a freshly bought handbag. Quickly schooling Kulchur on the inappropriateness of Kennedy-esque allusions, she adds, "It's not about Jackie O." And whether Tolani is out and about in Miami, Manhattan, or the Turks and Caicos, Gucci fits the fashion-forward bill. "It's classic trendy. Classic and trendy at the same time."
Isn't that a contradiction?
"Not at all. It's classic trendy as opposed to, pardon my language, crappy trendy."
As for the end of the Ford era, Tolani is unconcerned: "A new designer isn't going to change the quality."
Inside the Gucci shop, however, the sales staff seems less sanguine about the future. In fact, as Kulchur wanders the starkly appointed rooms, all three saleswomen appear to be in a state of mourning, dressed completely in black.

Is the staff here sitting shiva for Tom Ford?
Saleswoman Diana Goldenberg raises an indulgent eyebrow and smiles. Black suits are their standard attire, Goldenberg patiently explains, but she admits that Ford's status has been as much a topic of conversation for her customers as for any of Gucci's own personnel. And while she's confident in the company's ability to name an able successor, "you have to have a lot of guts to follow Tom Ford."
Just such a guessing game is already the talk of Gucci aficionados. A few doors down at Bal Harbour's Neiman Marcus, saleswoman Lynn Baumhart is predicting Gucci underling Alexander McQueen will get the nod. Baumhart holds up a McQueen-designed blouse: "Look at these lines," she coos appreciatively, pointing to angles in the delicate fabric. "These are very Tom Ford," and proof McQueen was already being groomed for such a promotion. It's a display worthy of the State Department's vintage Kremlinologists, who meticulously parsed photos of Soviet leaders standing at parade attention, divining shifts in power from their proximity to each other. Of course, given that the blouse in question costs $4000, this is hardly a laughing matter.

I don't understand the politicians in Washington who blame the looming dramatic spending cuts of the sequester on President Barack Obama. Both parties voted for the bill that put the sequester into effect. Both are responsible for putting the lipstick on the pig.
Stop grumbling and solve the problems that you were elected by the people to solve.

The Muslim Brotherhood's Egyptian political wing has issued a defiant statement in response to its own party's dissolution, vowing to continue to struggle against the government in Cairo.
The Brotherhood's party, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), was dissolved by an Egyptian court on August 9.
The ban means Brotherhood members wont be able to participate in parliamentary elections under the FJP banner later this year.
"The headquarters of the party, its properties and assets which have been stolen by the coup leadership, are nothing compared to the blood of the martyrs and wounded, the pain of the detainees, or the tears of orphaned children and widowed wives," the organization said in a statement over the weekend.
The Brotherhood accused Egypt's judiciary of being "counter-revolutionary", stating the FJP was dissolved for backing peaceful protests against the 2013 coup, which first brought General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to power.
Sisi has since been elected president, though the Brotherhood has accused the military and Sisi of suppressing political dissent, including violence against supporters of ousted former president Mohammed Morsi.
The Brotherhood was declared a terrorist organization in Egypt in December.
Over one thousand people have been killed in a crackdown on Brotherhood supporters.
A further 16,000 Egyptians have been rounded up in mass arrests, aimed at breaking the Brotherhood's mass movement.

OAKLAND — A man was shot and killed in East Oakland Saturday morning, police said.
The man, whose name and age have not yet been released, was found by a passer-by on High Street near Lyon Avenue around 10:20 a.m. The motorist picked up the wounded man and attempted to drive him to a hospital, but stopped in the 2700 block of Foothill Boulevard where help was summoned, police said.
The man was pronounced dead there minutes later by emergency responders, according to police.
Police released no motive nor information on possible suspects on Saturday.
The killing comes on the heels of a busy July 4 for the Oakland Police Department, which put an additional 115 officers on the streets overnight to help quell celebratory gunfire and illegal fireworks, according to a department news release.
Police arrested 14 people on a variety of charges and issued 114 citations for fireworks-related crimes. A 19-year-old man was killed and his 23-year-old half-brother severely injured when power lines fell to the street on 89th Avenue late Friday. A Pacific Gas & Electric spokeswoman said the 12,000 volt lines came down after being struck by gunfire.

FertilityPeople talk about the biological clock ticking and it's at the age of 35 that fertility in women starts to decline. Recent research has confirmed that men's fertility also starts to drop from the age of 35. Keep your diet healthy, cut down on booze and if you smoke, quit!
SkinIt's in your 30s that you'll start to notice the first signs of ageing - you might see the odd line or wrinkle and a few brown marks, also known as sun spots or skin pigmentation.
It's true that you are what you eat and that what you put into your body can be seen on the outside. Generally speaking people who drink lots of water and eat lots of fresh fruit and veg have less lines and plumper, more glowing skin.
How you treat your skin can also make a difference. Moisturise every day and use an exfoliating scrub at least once a week on your face and body. Toning exercise such as yoga can help and diet is important too - try our brilliant skin diet for a youthful glow!

Hair removal results
There are many things to comment on here. First, physicians are not required to see any patients (depending on the state!) before they are treated. However, it is my opinion that physician's offices are the best places for treatments, assuming the staff is properly trained and supervised. Second, if the "secretary" was a well trained staff member, it's ok. Some offices do have staff members that share responsibilities of front office work and back office work, that's not uncommon if it's a shared work philosophy so everyone is responsible for everything. That means, though, that this person should have been trained on the laser, and that's something you need to confirm.
Regarding your actual treatment, IPL isn't the most effective treatment for hair removal, or the most efficient. Those treatments tend to be more painful and longer than newer, higher grade machines like YAG and diode lasers. However, the "pain" level is not what should be used to measure an effective treatment. Settings are based on skin tone, hair color, location of the treatment, etc., so there are many factors and "pain" is not one. Normally, machine levels are moved higher as more treatments are done.
Finally, you will NOT see immediate results from laser hair removal. It should take several weeks, especially on the legs, to notice much of anything. At that point, you might see a bit of patchiness and hair softening. But you should not have expected to see anything within one day - that is impossible! And finally, lasers don't stimulate hair roots and make more hairs grow. That's also impossible.
