Marcon's Tugboat Recap – August 2012
According to boat broker Marcon International, there are 711 tugboats officially on the market for sale worldwide; up 12% since May. In all 232, or about one-third of the tugs available worldwide – primarily foreign flagged – were built within the last 10 years, or are newbuilding re-sales or currently under construction. A total of 41 newbuildings up to 6,000 HP range are scheduled for delivery through 2013, balancing an average worldwide age of 38 years for all tugs being offered. U.S. tugs are older, averaging 47 years versus 35 years for their foreign counterparts, but the tugs are getting younger (2 years in less than 9 months) as fleet renewals continue everywhere. A large percentage of tugs for sale are in the U.S. with 144 tugs on the market, but that shouldn't be surprising with ECA's coming on line and tighter emissions standards here at home. Operators have to decide whether to re-engine existing vessels, also weighing the merits of (more expensive) new tonnage equipped with the latest in green technologies.
Power – Spreading the Wealth
Speaking of engines, CAT diesels still power most tugs with machinery in 145 or 21% of tugs for sale, followed by 101 Cummins, 58 EMD, 45 Niigata, 40 Yanmar, 29 Deutz, 26 GM, 24 Mitsubishi, 22 Ruston and 18 MAK powered tugs. 189 tugs are powered by machinery from others; from ABC to Zibo with, as always, nine Fairbanks Morse boats out there looking for a new home. Conventional single and twin screw tugs prevail with 140 (19.7%) and 421 (59.2%), respectively, for sale worldwide. There's plenty of high-tech propulsion out there; including 116 azimuthing tugs on the market, 26 Voith Schneider tractor tugs, six triple screw and two shallow draft quad screws.
Numbers – what do they mean?
Bob Beegle, President of Marcon International said, "I keep predicting the number of tugs for sale to level off at a plateau, but as of August 2012 we hit a record total of 711 tug listings officially for sale, up 110 listings or 18.3% since the same time last year … I cannot say whether this is good news or bad news. It is just the facts of the market." Marcon says that most of this latest increase was in the foreign market with 74 more tug listings added for sale and 16 more added for charter since the last Market Report. Beegle adds, "I guess the good news is that we are starting to see some signs of activity in the market instead of just stagnation."
Falling Prices = More Newbuilding?
Actual sales price compared to brake horsepower (BHP) has fallen $250/BHP in 2012, but that's to be expected as the average vessel age sold so far is 34 years vs. 23 last year. This does not take into account the type of tug or condition, but just a simple comparison of generic tugs built 11 years apart. Marcon doubts that we will see any great improvement in secondhand tug prices in the near future. Perhaps a harbinger of what is to come; Marcon insists that older tonnage/horsepower will continue to weigh down the numbers. It is becoming increasingly expensive to modernize older tugs to meet today's stringent emission requirements and new safety standards for all aspects of towing. As the market improves, many owners who are financially able will look more towards building new rather than refitting.

With so many options of cross platform tools to develop on multiple platforms, it is getting quite hard to decide on which tool is better to use.
When evaluating them, you can usually check the feature list, supported platforms and prices, all the information that can help you decide. But what you usually can't evaluate from the first sight, is the learning curve and the feeling of the tool while developing/managing project
That's why I've prepared 10 simple steps you can take while trying to learn more about Gideros and evaluate it as your choice for cross platform mobile development tool
To display image, we firstly create the Texture object by providing path to the image file and optional boolean parameter which indicates if the image should be filtere (anti-alised)
Then we create Bitmap object, position it at some coordinate (default are 0,0) and add it to the stage to be rendered
local bmp = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("images/ball.png", true))
bmp:setPosition(100, 100)
To display text, we firstly need to create Font object, in this case we will use TTFont. We provide path to the font file, size of the text and optional boolean parameter which indicates if the image should be filtere (anti-alised)
Then we create TextField object by passing Font object and text that we want to display.
After that we simply set position of the text and add it to the stage to be rendered
local tahomaFont = TTFont.new("fonts/tahoma.ttf", 20, true)
local text = TextField.new(tahomaFont, "Hello World!!!")
text:setPosition(100, 100)
We can also draw arbitrary shapes
To accomplish that, we need to create Shape object and set its fill and line styles.
We will use a solid red color the fill style and 5px width blue line with 1 alpha (or full opacity)
Then we can begin drawing arbitrary shape and once we've done, we simply set position of the text and add it to the stage to be rendered
local shape = Shape.new()
shape:setFillStyle(Shape.SOLID, 0xff0000)
shape:setLineStyle(5, 0x0000ff, 1)
shape:lineTo(0, 100)
shape:lineTo(100, 100)
shape:lineTo(100, 0)
shape:lineTo(0, 0)
shape:setPosition(200, 100)
We can use Sprite objects to group other objects (or separate them in different layers) as images, texts and shapes
To do that, we simply create Sprite object and add other objects as its child
After that we can manipulate the whole group easily, as for example, changing position of all element by simply changing position of parent element.
And of course as usually, we add it to the stage to be rendered
local sprite = Sprite.new()
sprite:setPosition(100, 100)
To play sounds, we simply need to create the Sound object, by providing path to mp3 or wav file, which we are going to play
And then call play to play it, which will create a channel currently playing
We can then stop the channel any time we want or let the sound finish
local sound = Sound.new("music.mp3")
local channel = sound:play()
-- after some time --
We can animate any transformation, as scaling, position or even rotation of the objects
So here we create a Bitmap object, and set it's anchor point to 0.5, 0.5, which will reference the center of the object (so it would rotate around the center and not top left corner).
Then we set up an enter frame event, which is executed on every frame, and change the rotation of image by 5 degrees on each frame
local bmp = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("ball.png", true))
bmp:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5)
bmp:setPosition(100, 100)
stage:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function()
To create frame animation, we firstly need to load each separate frame, either from TexturePack or simply images as Bitmap objects.
Then we create a MovieClip object and pass table with arranged frames and frame intervals to it (quite similarly as timeline in Action Script)
Then we loo[ the animation by setting goto action and start playing.
And the last thing as previously, we set its position and add it to the stage to be rendered
--load frames
local frames = {}
local bmp
for i = 1, 9 do
bmp = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("ball"..i..".png", true))
bmp:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5)
frames[#frames+1] = bmp
--arrange frames
local ballAnimation = MovieClip.new{
{1, 5, frame[1]},
{6, 10, frame[2]},
{11, 15, frame[3]},
{16, 20, frame[4]},
{21, 30, frame[5]},
{31, 40, frame[6]},
{41, 45, frame[7]},
{46, 50, frame[6]},
{51, 55, frame[8]},
{56, 60, frame[6]},
{61, 65, frame[7]},
{66, 70, frame[6]},
{71, 75, frame[8]},
{76, 80, frame[6]},
{81, 85, frame[7]},
{86, 90, frame[6]},
{91, 95, frame[8]},
{96, 100, frame[5]},
{101, 110, frame[4]},
{111, 115, frame[3]},
{116, 120, frame[2]},
{121, 125, frame[1]},
{126, 200, frame[2]},
--loop animation
ballAnimation:setGotoAction(200, 1)
--start playing
ballAnimation:setPosition(160, 240)
We will add additional methods to created Bitmap object which would scale it up on mouse down and scale back on mouse up
Inside these events we will check if the object was clicked, using
hitTestPoint method
Then we simply attach these event listener to corresponding events
local bmp = Bitmap.new(Texture.new("ball.png", true))
bmp:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5)
bmp:setPosition(100, 100)
function bmp:onClick(e)
if self:hitTestPoint(e.x, e.y) then
function bmp:onRelease(e)
if self:hitTestPoint(e.x, e.y) then
bmp:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN, bmp.onClick, bmp)
bmp:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_UP, bmp.onRelease, bmp)
We can also get user input from TextInputDialog, for example, if we need a user to provide username.
We cretae a onComplete event handler, to check if user did not cancel the dialog and retrieve entered text
local username = "Player1"
local textInputDialog = TextInputDialog.new("Change username",
"Enter yout user name", username, "Cancel", "Save")
local function onComplete(e)
if e.buttonIndex then
username = e.text
textInputDialog:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete)
Sometimes in games we also need to save data persistently
For that we can create to function, to serialize any table data using json and save it by key
Then we create a second function to retrieve the save information by the same provided key
require "json"
function saveData(key, value)
local contents = json.encode(value)
--create file
local file = io.open( "|D|"..key, "w" )
--save json string in file
file:write( contents )
--close file
io.close( file )
function getData(key)
local value
local file = io.open( "|D|"..key, "r" )
if file then
--read contents
local contents = file:read( "*a" )
--decode json
value = json.decode(contents)
--close file
io.close( file )
return value
--try to read information
local someData = getData("someData")
-- if no information, create it
if not someData then
someData = {"some text", 42}
--save data
saveData("someData", someData)
print("Creating someData")
print("Read someData", someData[1], someData[2])
Of course there are much more to Gideros than this. This article only shows some code snippets to accomplish simple tasks, but Gideros offers much more, starting from killer features like 1 click on device testing, automatic scaling modes and choosing image resolution automatically, to texture packs, OOP system and physics.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, firstname.lastname@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] Oct. 3, 2005 TPWD Game Warden Field Notes The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports. Know What You're Shooting -- A man from Kerns shot an immature bald eagle recently, stating he thought it was a hawk. The violator searched for the bird and it was found still alive 1-2 hours after the initial shot. Realizing it was a bald eagle, the violator then expressed some sympathy towards the animal and took it to the local rehab facility. The facility then contacted a Game Warden and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The shooter ended up retracted his story about finding the bird injured on his property to actually shooting the bird on his property. The eagle died two days later. Texas Parks and Wildlife was awarded restitution of $6,000 for the value of the bird. Special Unit Round-Up -- The Marine Theft Unit completed FY05 with 32 PWCs, 36 boats, 47 trailers, and 32 motors being seized and worked more than 140 cases this year. The Covert Unit worked 12 ongoing cases, completing six of those, with three more that have charges pending. Cases ranged from felony hunting violations and sale of fish shocking devices, to sale of protected fish. The Wildlife Unit worked 26 cases ranging from breeder violations, illegal sale of black bear and alligators to hunting lease fraud. Game Wardens across the state assisted in concluding the largest case in Special Operations history. In that case, which involved the darting and selling of wild deer, fines totaled more than $100,000. Bait and Pay -- A Bell County Warden located piles of milo in a field after an anonymous caller alleged it was being dove hunted. Hunters showed up, and they proceeded to take birds over the area. The game warden made contact after observing their hunt for awhile. Seven citations were issued for hunting over the baited area and 25 birds were seized. The hunters admitted that it had been baited for more than a month and that approximately 1,500 to 2,000 pounds had been spread out during that time. -30-

House votes to end ban on gays in u.s. military, sending fight to senate
The House on Friday passed a defense spending bill that paves the way for gays to serve openly in the military for the first time, but advocates on both sides geared up for a fight in the Senate. Normally, defense bills pass by wider margins than Friday's 229-186 vote, but many Republicans and a few conservative Democrats said they voted no because the bill contains the provision to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" law. The bill would give the Pentagon the rest of the year to study the issue before the repeal would take effect. In a direct address to troops, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he wanted to assure them that their views on the divisive question still matter.
Jobless benefits win approval
The House passed a $93 billion package of jobless benefits and business tax breaks Friday after moderate Democrats fed up with deficit spending forced leaders to slice billions of additional dollars from the legislation. The House voted 215-204 to approve the measure, which would extend expanded benefits for the unemployed through November and renew dozens of expired tax credits and deductions for businesses and individuals. The House also voted 245-171 to approve a $23 billion plan to postpone a pay cut for doctors who see Medicare patients. The Senate left town Thursday for a Memorial Day recess without voting.
Children's medicines recalled
More children's medicines are being recalled because they were made at the same Johnson & Johnson plant in Fort Washington, Pa., where federal health authorities found poor quality standards. Blacksmith Brands Inc. announced a recall on Friday for about 100,000 units of four PediaCare items: PediaCare Multi-Symptom Cold, PediaCare Long Acting Cough, PediaCare Decongestant and PediaCare Allergy and Cold. Consumers can call toll-free 1-888-474-3099 or go to blacksmithbrands.com.
Review of immigrant law urged
The Obama administration on Friday urged the Supreme Court to review and set aside an Arizona law that sanctions employers who hire illegal immigrants, saying it would disrupt the "careful balance" that Congress struck in federal immigration law. The statute is not the strict new Arizona law that requires police to question anyone who appears to be in the country illegally. If the court hears the sanctions case, its ruling could show how receptive the justices would be to arguments that enforcing immigration laws is a federal responsibility.
SOUTH KOREA: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao tried to soothe an angry South Korean leadership on Friday with condolences for the deaths of 46 sailors who died in the sinking of a warship and promises to investigate North Korea's culpability in it, but stopped short of making any commitments while on a trip to Seoul.
GUATEMALA: Guatemala City was under a state of emergency and its airport closed Friday after the Pacaya volcano spewed black ash for miles. A TV reporter was killed and more than 65 people were injured. An eruption at a volcano in Ecuador forced the evacuations of three villages in that country.
UNITED NATIONS: Countries attending a global meeting on nuclear weapons agreed Friday to open talks on establishing a nuclear-free zone in the Mideast, but U.S. officials said the plan might go nowhere because of language singling out Israel's secret nuclear program. The planned talks were the most prominent result of the meeting, held every five years to review the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
JAPAN: Washington and Tokyo agreed Friday to keep a contentious U.S. Marine base on Okinawa but relocate it to a less populated area.

IAccessible2 SIG Conference Call Minutes 2008/08/26
- Regrets: Mike Squillace
- Attendees: Pete Brunet, Mick Curran, Jamie Teh, Marco Zehe
- Minutes approved for
- Firefox - Marco Zehe
- Static text:
- FF is going to mark their autogenerated text with the static attribute.
- This is different than Symphony which will use the list attribute for lists and treats other kinds of autogenerated text as normal text, e.g. dates, footnote references, etc.
- Aaron said (via prior email):
- It's much easier for us to always expose all text via the text interfaces. There are too many cases and we don't want to have to switch back and forth.
- I can try to do a deep dive and justify further but I already see issues if we have to support true list bullets vs. list bullets that an online word processor inserts, etc. If the text is just in the text interfaces that helps a lot.
- And I know that it will be read because the screen readers are just going to read the text as they grab it. If we change it now we'll have to go fix Orca, NVDA etc.
- Jamie indicated that NVDA has no need for the static attribute.
- Jamie prefers that the attribute be renamed from static to autotext. This is because the word static implies read only text and that's not necessarily always the case, depending on the application. He is going to open a bug.
- Regarding caret movement in auto text there are three cases so the attribute could have three values:
- all: can move caret through text, i.e. the common case
- first: can only move caret to the first character, e.g. a date field in Symphony
- none: can't move the caret at all, e.g. list item bullets/numbers
- Marco will talk to Aaron.
- Static text:
- IA2 Proxy DLL
- Spelling and grammar errors
- A spelling error occurs after the space bar is pressed. There is a text attribute changed event. MSAA WinEvents cannot provide info. NVDA would have to scan around the caret to discover the attribute change. Should we create a new event mechanism?
- Although FF doesn't currently report grammar errors, if it did then there could be more than one error, e.g. both spelling and grammar. How would FF format the string? Would it use a comma separated list of attribute values like this? ...;invalid:spelling,grammar;...
- Ending semicolon on attribute strings
- NVDA would prefer that attribute strings end with a trailing semicolon. What does Symphony do?

Roto-Rooter is under scrutiny for allegedly deceiving customers into paying for unnecessary repairs. Three Minneapolis consumers slapped the plumbing service company with a class action lawsuit Monday.
Plaintiffs Dawn Mills and LuAnn and Michael Cosgrove claim Roto-Rooter violated state "truth-in-repair" laws and pressured them into overpaying for repairs. According to the lawsuit, Mills called the company last December after her sewer backed up and was told she had to pay $8,750 to repair a broken pipeline.
However, a city inspector later assessed the problem and told Mills she had overpaid, as there was no indication the pipe had been broken.
"They took advantage at my being at a disadvantage," Mills said in an interview.
Similarly, the Cosgroves were charged $5,235 for repairs that a city inspector later said weren't needed. LuAnn Cosgrove says in the suit that she wanted to wait to repair the plumbing in her home, but when Roto-Rooter said her basement could flood with sewage, she agreed to the repair.
The Minneapolis Police Department is also handling a city investigation after receiving numerous consumer complaints against Roto-Rooter over the past year. The police searched the company's Plymouth, Minn., offices and obtained customer files and DVDs of drain lines.
Roto-Rooter released a statement saying it does not comment on pending litigation. The lawsuit is seeking class action status as well as unspecified damages.

Student accommodation in Leeds: Halls of residence
Places for all first years - The University of Leeds and Leeds Metropolitan University have halls at various locations both within the city and in the surrounding suburbs. Providing you apply by specific deadlines they tend to guarantee that all first years will be given places in halls.
In terms of facilities, both offer a wide range of options. Catered or self catered, on or off campus, en suite or shared bathrooms - there is something for everyone.
Visit each university's accommodation pages to view the options and apply.
Student accommodation in Leeds: Private houses
Where to live? - For returning students not in their first year the most common option is to move into private houses. Although private houses can be found all over the city, a large majority of students live around the Headingley and Hyde Park areas. Situated a twenty minute walk north of the Leeds Uni campus, Headingley is a vibrant student area with a number of bars and restaurants.
Who can help? - Both Leeds Uni and Leeds Met recommend that you start your search for private housing through Unipol, a charity that helps students find suitable accommodation in university towns. In Leeds Unipol own their own properties as well as advertising for other owners around the city. They also organise house hunting events in which people who are looking for rooms can meet each other.
Or... - Alternatively you can go direct to the numerous letting agents found around the city - for information on which companies are reputable, as well as more general information about student accommodation in Leeds, visit your university's student union.
Student accommodation in Leeds: Private halls of residence
A high quality alternative - Another option if you're looking for student accommodation in Leeds is private halls of residence. Staying in private halls takes out all the hassle of paying bills or organising your own insurance and gives you the opportunity to meet a range of new people. One of the largest providers of such properties is UNITE.

Memorable Classic Rock Guitar Licks, Part Two, Eagles, "Life In The Fast Lane" [VIDEOS]
Walsh,Frey, YouTube
In 1976 Joe Walsh had already established himself as a household name with 'The James Gang' and 'Barnstorm', he is the featured guitarist in "Life In The Fast Lane."
Joe Walsh replaced Bernie Leadon as the Eagles lead guitarist and the first album with Walsh was, 'Hotel California.'
The album was a major success thanks in part to three hit singles,"New Kid In Town","Hotel California" and "Life In The Fast Lane" which was co-written by Walsh, Don Henley and Glenn Frey.
The opening riff was devised by Walsh before "Life In The Fast Lane" was even written and he shared it during an Eagles rehearsal.
Joe Walsh with Ringo Starr's All Starr Band from 1989 performing "Life In The Fast Lane.":

See BugDB https://bug.oraclecorp.com/pls/bug/webbug_print.show?c_rptno=17852672 for detail.
The fix in Deployment sandbox since Dec 5th. SQE (Dima G) analyzed nightly test run results. No new issues. So, SQE OK to take the fix into CPU14_01
full fix webrev at: http://oklahoma.us.oracle.com/www/webrevs/aherrick/1.7.0_51/8029135/deploy/webrev/
The problem here is the jnlp file does not have an href.
If a jnlp application is launched normally (ie: by clicking on a jnlp file link in a browser) and it does not have an href to it's jnlp file, we cannot know where the jnlp file came from.
In that case we cannot match an ESL location or a location based DRS rule.
This is internally documented at: http://wiki.se.oracle.com/display/JPGC/Exception+Site+List
but does not seem to be documented in the release notes.
you can fix app by adding an href to the main jnlp file (in the jnlp file)
This solution will not work for customer since both jars and jnlp files are embedded in firmware.
we need a solution for subset of cases where Exception Site List can work in a jnlp application even when jnlp file has no href.
There is also a related problem that must be addresed, caused by ELS implementation..
When a jnlp application is run normally from a link, the jnlp file is downloaded to the browser and a copy is made in native code and its path is passed as main arg to com.sun.javaws.Main(). Now the code in XMLFormat and LaunchDesc consider that path the original location of the jnlp file, create a file URL to that path and set it as LaunchDesc._originalHref. (as if user has issued command "javaws <path>"). This is then passed to the constructor of the RuleId as the jnlpLocation, causing ESL and DRS to use this file URL as location. This is easy to fix since we know (via existing additional arg) when the jnlp file passed to main is a copy of one downloaded by browser)

The Obama administration on Wednesday finalized a long-awaited rule aimed at protecting coal miners from black lung by reducing their exposure to dust that causes the deadly disease.
U.S. Department of Labor officials say the new rule will lower legal dust-exposure limits, close loopholes and improve sampling practices. The changes are part of the agency's broad effort to end a disease that continues to kill miners, more than four decades after a federal law made eliminating such deaths a national priority.
"Working should never be a death sentence in America," Labor Secretary Thomas E. Perez told reporters.
Officials said the final rule will increase sampling in mines and make use of new technology to provide real-time information about dust levels, allowing miners and coal operators to make adjustments, instead of letting overexposures continue. The rule will be phased in over a two-year period "to give the industry the time it needs to adjust to the new requirements," the Labor Department said.
"We are finally moving forward to overhaul an outdated program that has failed to adequately protect miners from breathing unhealthy levels of coal mine dust and achieving the intent of Congress to eliminate black lung disease," said Joe Main, director of the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Perez and Main announced the new rule at an event in Morgantown, just two days after the final rule emerged from the White House's Office of Management and Budget, where it had been undergoing an economic review since last August.
OMB officials met late last year with officials from various coal companies, including Murray Energy and Alpha Natural Resources, as well as with the United Mine Workers union, to discuss the proposed rule.
The final rule steps back from a 31/2-year-old proposal that would have slashed the legal dust limit in half, from 2.0 milligrams of dust per cubic meter of air to 1.0 milligram per cubic meter. After intense opposition from the coal industry and congressional Republicans, the final rule sets the dust limit at 1.5 milligrams per cubic meter, according to a summary included in a Labor Department news release.
In doing so, the administration went against long-standing recommendations from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, which, in 1995, urged a 1.0 milligram standard. The miners union, health advocates and public-health experts also backed the 1.0-milligram standard.
"The rule is certainly a step in the right direction, but the administration's decision to weaken what they'd proposed in 2010 makes the goal of eliminating black lung out of reach," said Celeste Monforton, a public-health researcher and former MSHA staffer who has followed the issue closely.
UMW spokesman Phil Smith declined comment Wednesday, saying the union wants to "thoroughly understand" the rule — announced in a 991-page document — before commenting on it.
The National Mining Association criticized the final rule as "a less effective one-size-fits-all nationwide approach" to what the industry says is a problem "clustered in isolated geographical areas." Murray Energy, which operates large underground mines in Northern West Virginia, issued a statement vowing to challenge MSHA in court, saying the rule "seeks to destroy the coal industry, and the thousands of jobs it provides, with absolutely no benefit to the health or safety of miners, whatsoever."
Black lung, or coal workers' pneumoconiosis, is actually a collection of debilitating and potentially fatal ailments caused by breathing coal dust.
Miners inhale tiny dust particles that are released into the air by coal-cutting machines. As the dust collects over time, lungs become black, scarred and shriveled. Miners often develop a cough, or shortness of breath. Frequently, as the most serious and fatal forms of the disease progress, miners have to fight for every breath.
In 1969, when it passed landmark mine safety legislation, Congress made eliminating black lung a national goal. The law required mine operators to take steps to limit exposure. Black lung was reduced significantly, but — at least in part because of industry cheating on dust samples — the law has fallen far short of its goals.
Since 1968, 76,000 coal miners nationwide have died from black lung. And researchers have warned of a resurgence of the disease, especially in pockets of the Appalachian coalfields, affecting younger miners whose entire careers took place after the 1969 law's dust limits went into effect.
Efforts to tighten the legal dust limits and otherwise protect miners, though, have been stalled by a quarter-century of inaction by administrations from both political parties. During the Clinton administration, for example, a proposal to reform the dust sampling and enforcement program died, in part, because Main, then the top safety official for the UMW, complained that it didn't go far enough.
Under Obama, Main's efforts to enact a new dust rule have been hampered by Republican-pushed legislation to temporarily block the rule and by delays within the Labor Department itself.
The proposed rule, issued in October 2010, would have reduced the legal dust limit to 1.7 milligrams per cubic meter in six months, to 1.5 in 12 months and to 1.0 in two years. The adopted rule would simply reduce the legal dust limit to 1.5 milligrams, effective in August 2016.
Perez and Main, when pressed to explain the scientific basis for their new number, hedged and provided no clear answer. Each said reporters were focusing too much on that issue without considering other parts of the rule that would help reduce miners' exposure.
"Lowering the permissible concentration of dust is an important part of what we're doing with this rule," Perez said, "but if we did that, and that alone, this rule would have minimal impact on worker safety."
Perez pointed to requirements for more frequent dust sampling, the use of technology that can help prevent the widespread cheating that has hampered past enforcement efforts, and a change to prevent operators from averaging samples to make miner exposure appear lower than it really is during any single shift.
"What people are missing is all of these flaws and loopholes," Main said. "If you don't fix those, it doesn't make any difference what you set the standard at."
In the rule-making notice made public Wednesday, MSHA said agency officials had concluded that "additional sampling and experience may be warranted" while other provisions of the rule are implemented "before considering a standard lower" than 1.5 milligrams per cubic meter.
Dr. Robert Cohen, a black lung expert at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said the change to the 1.5-standard might have been part of an MSHA effort to compromise, to avoid industry lawsuits challenging the entire rule. Cohen said he was especially pleased that the final rule expands the government's black lung surveillance program to include surface mine workers, rather than just underground miners, and to include lung-function tests, rather than only X-rays.
"I like a lot of the stuff in this rule," Cohen said. "It's a huge step forward."

Everything Everywhere has now gained permission from OFCOM to use some of its existing 1800MHz spectrum to provide 4G LTE in the UK. The operator, who own T-Mobile and Orange, have been campaigning to OFCOM for some time to get permission to offer LTE ahead of the 4G auctions , which take place early next year.
Everything Everywhere could now potentially launch LTE on September 11th, but there is little chance they'll be ready to launch by then and the other problem is that no LTE smartphones are currently available in the UK. However, when LTE does launch in the UK it'll offer faster download speeds and open up whole new streaming options on smartphones and tablets.
The other operators are pretty unhappy with OFCOM's decision because they don't have spare spectrum to provide LTE, which in their eyes gives Everything Everywhere an unfair competitive advantage. We tend to agree with them, but we're happy to see the move to 4G accelerated in the UK because were already far behind other countries.
The other operators will have to wait for the 4G auctions at the start of next year before they can begin to offer LTE technology. The auctions relate to offering LTE over the 800MHz and 2600MHz spectrum with O2, Vodafone and Everything Everywhere all guaranteed to bid with Three expected to join the party.
On a side note some sources are referring to 4G LTE technology as full 4G, but LTE is really a transitional stage between 3G and 4G. Actual 4G technology is still some way off, but don't be alarmed because 4G LTE is still a vast improvement over current 3G networks.

West Ham set to re-sign Carlton Cole
West Ham are likely to offer free agent Carlton Cole a short-term deal, according to manager Sam Allardyce.
• Thorne: Vaz Te fires
Cole, 29, who made over 200 appearances for the Hammers during a seven-year spell, was released by the club in the summer.
West Ham were considering bringing back the striker on a free transfer at the beginning of September, but decided against doing so as he was unable to prove his fitness.
However, with Andy Carroll since having suffered another injury setback and the club short on striking options, Allardyce says Cole will be offered a new deal once his fitness is up to scratch.
"We've had Carlton training with us for a while now and as soon as he's fit enough to play there will be an offer of a short-term contract on the table, there's no doubt about that," Allardyce said. "That's why he's here with us and that's why we're trying to improve his fitness having missed pre-season.
"As soon as he's okay and suitable terms and conditions have been agreed, which is nothing to do with me, then he'll join us for however long the contract is negotiated for. We'll play a couple of behind-closed-doors games just to let him get some match practice and then we'll take it from there."
West Ham take on Hull at the KC Stadium on Saturday, and Allardyce is expecting to come up against a side full of confidence following their win at Newcastle last weekend.
"For them to get their first away win was a huge result, it lifts the whole city, the backroom staff and all the players," Allardyce said. "We face them at a time when their confidence is sky-high so as always we'll have a tough game on our hands.
"His [Hull manager Steve Bruce's] players, irrespective of how many he's changed, have gelled well, which was the opposite to his time at Sunderland. At Hull he's changed a lot of players and it's worked for him very, very well in a short period of time and they've obviously started the season exceptionally well."

Square Feet; A Pro-Business City Policy Backfires on a Few
By TERRY PRISTIN
Published: October 11, 2006
After struggling for more than two decades, Harvey Shomer says, he finally found his niche in the city's dwindling garment industry. Operating out of 5,000 square feet in a dilapidated brick building in Brooklyn, his company, M. Franabar Associates, corrects mistakes in bulk orders arriving from manufacturers in China -- the upside-down labels, the incorrect price tags and the missing bar codes.
Many of Franabar's 26 employees walk to work, passing under the Gowanus Expressway, the dividing line between the industrial and residential sections of Brooklyn's Sunset Park neighborhood.
In June, however, Mr. Shomer and the owners of 25 other businesses that rent space in a cluster of three century-old industrial buildings along the waterfront learned that the city planned to sell the complex, which is fully occupied, to a developer who would rehabilitate it.
The tenants, who provide work for about 300 people, say private redevelopment of the buildings would be likely to result in sizable rent increases, forcing them to leave the city or close their businesses.
The city is weighing proposals for the three brick buildings, which sit between 41st and 43rd Streets -- including one from a nonprofit group that would keep the current tenants and let them eventually buy their spaces. The buildings, completed between 1895 and 1905, contain 460,000 square feet. They are part of the Bush Terminal Complex, which stretches from 41st Street to 51st Street.
New York's industrial companies provide about 466,000 jobs, but space has become increasingly scarce, especially with the recent rezoning of large swaths of industrial neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Greenpoint in Brooklyn to permit the more lucrative residential development.
In Sunset Park, for example, the vacancy rate in industrial buildings was less than 1 percent, said Phaedra Thomas, the executive director of the Southwest Brooklyn Industrial Development Corporation, a nonprofit economic development group.
The Bloomberg administration has been aggressively trying to nurture light manufacturing in New York by upgrading city-owned industrial real estate, like the three Bush Terminal buildings; offering tax credits and other incentives; and creating 16 protective zones, where residential conversions are banned, in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx.
But the possibility that several hundred jobs may be lost when the city sells the three Bush Terminal buildings has drawn criticism from economic development advocates who otherwise praise the administration's industrial policy as the best in decades.
Jonathan Bowles, the director of the Center for an Urban Future, a New York research organization, said the administration should have given the tenants an opportunity to buy the building or renegotiate their leases before putting the complex on the market.
''It doesn't seem right, what the city is doing,'' he said. ''It doesn't seem to jibe with the recent policies to try to help industrial businesses.'' But Janel Patterson, a spokeswoman for the city Economic Development Corporation, said that it would be illegal for the city to negotiate with one group before issuing a request for proposals.
Carl Hum, director of the mayor's 21-month-old Office of Industrial and Manufacturing Businesses, said tenants in the Bush Terminal buildings were paying rents ''that you cannot find anywhere else in the city.''
Mr. Hum said the city should not be propping up businesses that would not exist if not for the below-market rent. ''Our focus is to support businesses that are viable, not businesses with operating costs that are artificially low,'' he said. The prospective buyers have all assured the city that they would offer help to the existing tenants, Mr. Hum said.
The tenants acknowledge that some of them are paying rents that are well below market rate. Fox Paper, a distributor of plastic and paper party items, moved into Building C 21 years ago, when Sunset Park was plagued by drug dealers and prostitutes. The owner, Larry Fox, said he pays an annual rent of less than $4 a square foot for 35,000 feet on the ground floor.
The market rate for such space in older loft buildings is $10 to $12 a square foot, while space on higher floors may go for $6 or $7 a foot, industrial brokers say.
Upper-floor tenants, including companies that make high-end furniture, kitchen cabinet doors and lingerie, say they pay $5 or more a square foot for substandard space. The elevator continually breaks down and a power failure can disrupt their business for days, they said.
For several years, the business owners in Building C have been month-to-month tenants, frustrated by the city's unwillingness to grant them leases. But they said the city had never told them it planned to sell the buildings. They say they were shocked when the city Economic Development Corporation informed them by letter on June 26 that it would issue a request for proposals for the building that very day.
Undaunted, Mr. Shomer, who has been in his building for six years, decided to take action. ''I got a crazy idea. I got the guys together and said, 'Let's buy the building.' ''

Sperling pounds out MMA victory at Thunder Valley Casino
September 25, 2012
Nick Sperling of Grass Valley won a mixed martial arts bout against Eddie Nishimoto of Lodi Saturday night at the Thunder Valley Casino.
Fighting the 130-pound weight class, Sperling, an instructor at Powerhouse MMA Training Center in Grass Valley, and his combatant exchanged some brief striking before Sperling picked Nishimoto up and slammed him to the ground.
Nishimoto tried to fight off Sperling's submission attempts as the round continued, but in the final moments, Sperling secured mount position and finished his opponent off with ground and pound strikes to the face.
The doctor didn't allow Nishimoto to answer the bell for the second round. The fights were promoted by Gladiator Challenge.

Watchdog Finds "Significant" Flaws in Canada's Rail-Safety Regime
By Paul Vieira
The Canadian government got another wakeup call in the aftermath of the tragic Quebec rail disaster earlier this year about the need to shore up its railway-safety regime.
Canada's Auditor General — an independent parliamentary watchdog responsible for determining if taxpayers' money is being well spent and government programs are managed effectively — said Tuesday the country's Transport Department must address "significant weaknesses" in how it oversees the railway industry.
In a semiannual report, the auditor identified some key flaws, such as an inability to collect the proper evidence to assure federally-regulated railways have proper safety-management systems, and a failure to provide the proper training and tools to inspectors to carry out their tasks.
"There are many things that we have identified that we have found problems with," said Michael Ferguson, the Auditor General, in a press conference in Ottawa.
The auditor, which is the equivalent of the U.S. Government Accountability Office, concluded its review of Canadian rail-safety enforcement standards before the tragic Lac Megantic, Quebec derailment unfolded in July, which killed 47 people and wiped out much of the town's central district. The train was carrying crude oil to a refinery in Saint John, New Brunswick.

TORONTO — The Rays were saying exactly what you'd expect them to Friday, that the final verdict on their night's work was the final score, a 9-8 victory over the Jays.
"You'll take it any way you can get it," manager Joe Maddon said.
"Especially this time of the year," centerfielder B.J. Upton said.
But they couldn't feel too good about it.
Not after scoring six runs in the first inning and leading 8-1 in the fourth with James Shields, their most established starter, on the mound, and then letting it all get away. And not after needing a sloppy ninth-inning mistake by the Jays that led to an unearned run, without even a hit, to keep them from what would have been a staggering loss.
"We ended up getting the win," Shields said. "That's all that matters."
Technically, they're right.
The win improved their record to 85-55 and allowed them to move back within 1½ games of first place in the American League East — as the Yankees lost 6-5 to the Rangers in 13 innings — and increase their wild-card lead over the Red Sox — who lost 5-0 to the A's — to 7½. (The White Sox won to pull even with the Red Sox.)
With the score tied in the ninth, their rally, if you can call it that, started with a one-out walk by Evan Longoria off Kevin Gregg, then another by Carlos Peña.
As if that wasn't enough help for the Rays, Sean Rodriguez's grounder to first could have been an inning-ending double play, but with all the Rays running hard, shortstop Yunel Escobar messed up the return throw to first, and Longoria scored.
"That's why you hustle," Rodriguez said.
Rafael Soriano — who couldn't have imagined he would have been needed — ended up finishing for his 19th consecutive save and American League-leading 42nd overall, one shy of Roberto Hernandez's 1999 team mark.
But such dramatics wouldn't have been required if Shields — who felt he threw "one bad pitch'' — had done a better job.
He gave up five runs — including a pair of two-run, two-out, two-strike home runs — and lasted only five innings.
"You get pulled at 70-something pitches (83, actually), and it's almost like you feel like you have a bad outing," Shields said. "And then you look back and … obviously the numbers aren't good, but I felt that I did what I needed to do."
Except typically in that situation, a veteran starter would be expected to do more.
But Shields has had his struggles, evidenced by an ERA creeping up to 4.98, by 211 hits that are the most allowed in the AL and by 32 homers that are second most in the majors and one shy of the team record held by the less-renowned Tanyon Sturtze.
Maddon wasn't taking any more chances after five innings, especially because the two homers Shields allowed followed the six he gave up in his previous start in Toronto.
The Jays are baseball's top sluggers, adding four homers for a total of 222, and Maddon deemed them "the SWAT team of the American League … they can strike at any moment."
And he had seen enough of Jose Bautista, who got two more to push his major-league-leading total to 46.
"He's physically fine," Maddon said of Shields. "It's just a matter of being able to stay in his delivery and make better pitches. But this team definitely gives him a tough time. Is that an understatement?"
Not any more than what they were saying about the whole night.
"Listen," Maddon said, "this time of the year, if you score one more point than the other team, you take it any day of the week."

Chef Vincent Grumel
People often ask Vincent Grumel why he left sunny southern France with its Van Gogh skies for California? Was it merely happenstance? Perhaps, but Vincent's admirers prefer to call it fate. In April, 1976, Vincent was visiting friends in La Jolla when he received a phone call. His newly opened restaurant on the Rhone River had been flooded and the damage was devastating. Although the young man was heartbroken, he didn't allow this disaster to halt his creative journey. Vincent took the path less traveled; he began working in Solana Beach at Mon Ami restaurant.
The Chef de Cuisine at Mon Ami had recently broken his leg and Vincent filled an immediate need. Mon Ami had been capturing the attention of discerning palates with its proximity to the Del Mar racetrack. While at Mon Ami, Vincent prepared food for the likes of Burt Bacharach, Desi Arnaz and Willie Shoemaker as well as the famous chef, Julia Child. Vincent stayed on at Mon Ami for the next few years delighting discriminating palates and garnering the attention of food critics.
In 1980, Vincent and Bernard Hug-the French born restaurateur behind Mille Fleurs and Bertrand's at Mr. A's-opened Bertrand's in Leucadia. Later, in 1982, they opened La Maison du Lac in Carlsbad. Fans followed from venue to venue, never wavering in their loyalty. In 1983 Vincent co-owned Cuisine a la Carte in Solana Beach and then Vincent's Four Seasons, in both Solana Beach and Carlsbad.
Vincent Marie Joany Grumel was born in Besancon, France near the Swiss border. He was one of four children and the son of an army physician. During his father's military career the family moved often, living throughout France and even in Algeria. Later, the family settled in Arles, the home of the famous post impressionist painter, Vincent Van Gogh. Vincent considers Arles his French home.
Vincent Grumel is trained in classical French cooking having studied the culinary arts at the Ecole Hoteliere D'Avignon, in Avignon, France. His mother came from a long line of good cooks, and he was a quick understudy. Vincent tells us: "We always kept beautiful food on the table at home." Passionate about nature and animals, young Vincent was encouraged to become a veterinarian; however, cooking was to be his first love and passion.
When Vincent finished his studies at the culinary arts school, he went on to apprentice under Chef Paul Louis Meissonier at the three-star Michelin restaurant L'Hermitage in Avignon, Cote D'Azur where he was named "Best Apprentice Chef." This proved to be an auspicious beginning.
In 1993, Vincent opened Sirino's in Escondido with a partner whom he later bought out in 1999. Vincent and his wife, Lisa, became the sole proprietors of the restaurant now called Vincent's.
In the restaurant on Grand Avenue, Chef Vincent serves classic French cuisine bourgeois, and while the food may be presented in modern and elegant ways, Vincent is a staunch traditionalist. Whether he's improvising daily specials with fresh organic produce from the local market or utilizing specialties like soft-shelled crabs from local fish mongers, Vincent keeps things fresh and inspired. "Every day is different," says Vincent.
Lisa Grumel
Although Lisa Marie Raedeker was born in Norman, Oklahoma, she spent her childhood and adolescence here in Escondido, California. The third of eight children, Lisa had a lively upbringing. This energy can be seen in the way Lisa moves through the restaurant attending to each and every customer.
As a young girl, Lisa helped her mother in the kitchen, cooking and baking for a large family. This early interest in cooking translated to a summer job. While still in high school, Lisa spent summers in Oklahoma City, helping out at Chez Vernon, her cousin's restaurant.
Lisa later studied cake decorating along with her sister, Lorelei, and the two opened a cake decorating business called Top of the Tier, making wedding cakes to order. The two sisters started the endeavor for fun, but friends and family were so impressed with the exquisitely decorated cakes that a business was born.
After Lisa and Vincent married, Lisa became an integral part of the restaurant. When loyal customers and new comers alike step through the French arches of Vincent's, Lisa's imprint can be seen everywhere. Along with décor, Lisa initiates promotions for the restaurant, does much of the business and is responsible for the elegant ambiance which is Vincent's.
Lisa and Vincent spend long hours at the restaurant, but both agree it is a labor of love. The two work hand in hand to create a smooth running restaurant where waiters look unhurried and food appears hot and delicious on the table. If Vincent is the right hand, Lisa is the left; together, they make the whole, and Vincent's shines.
At Vincent's, timing is everything. The wait staff leaves nothing to luck, assuring a memorable and superb culinary experience. Dining details are met with precision from the first pouring of wine, to the serving of dessert. This first class team treats customers with warm hospitality and superior service, making Vincent's an excellent choice for fine dining in San Diego County.

wchen, have you tried kingston KTL-TP3BS/2G? From the Kingston website it seems that that's the only one which is compatible to the s10-3 Atom N475 (glossy lid). I have the same version but searching for this particular RAM from lots of stores but unavailable...

I was wondering if anyone could guide/tell me if the standard RAM comes with 1GB 1033MHz and if I'd like to upgrade to 1066MHz will it work? Specifically for s10-3 Atom N455 (glossy lid).
Just weird Lenovo would want to minimize the specs/ram that consumer could purchase from. Why wouldn't they just have normal RAM to be compatible? Is it due to the Bios? arrrggghhh...

Hi All,
Thanks to the moderator, KlavinKlein pointed this out.
According to your experience, it seems like it has RAM compatibility issue, and i would like to know more about the situation.
Do you mind to share your machine info? I'll try to get someone to look into it. You may list all the info requested below in the public but serial number.
- Machine Family (e.g. S10-3 or S10-3s)
- Machine Type Model (e.g. 0647-2AU)
- Serial Number (send private msg to me)
- Brand and spec of RAM that cannot work (e.g. DDR3 2GB 667Mhz (PC3-10600H) - Kingston.
- Brand and spec of RAM that can work
- What do you see/notice after plug in the new RAM? (e.g blank screen during boot up, but fan is running, LED has light, beep sound heard....etc)
I'm sorry for asking for so much info but it will be very helpful for me when dealing with engineers.
Thank you very much!
Hi ive got the information from german user keeperX .
This Module will runs perfect without any quirks ..
Computer : Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3s M34D4GE N475 1,83 GHz HD 1.280 x 720 Win7 Starter
Memory Module runs well
Model Type : Samsung 2gb 2Rx8 PC3-8500S-07-10-f2 M471B5673EH1-CF8
This Module produce failure if you try to install operating system ... at least not correct running ...
Model Type: Kingston 2gb 1066 MHz KVR1066D3S7/2G PC3-8500
Hey all S10-3s User if u want a running system ... why not answer a question ... ?
sincerely KalvinKlein
My first attempt at upgrading from 1 to 2 GB was a fail. I upgraded from Windows Starter to Windows 7 Pro, and wanted to max out the RAM. My processor is the N455.
Using the LTT, I found my original RAM to be:
DDR3-SDRAM (1333 MHz)
Memory part number: M471B2873FHS-CH9
Memory serial number: 780E746F
Data sheet: http://tinyurl.com/2carect
I went with the Patriot 2GB at NewEgg found here:
Unfortunately, my system wouldn't boot up. Did I make some blatently stupid choice with the model of memory? From what I've read here (long time lurker, first time caller), Patriot seems to work in the S10-3.
Any suggestion as to what might work? I don't know what NewEgg's restocking fee is, but I dont' want to do it too many times.

Hi Cleo,
I am also experiencing this issue. I have called tech support but am finding them quite painful to interact with. I have the following machine specs:
08-03-2010 07:26 PM - edited 08-03-2010 08:24 PM
@tulisan: That is clearly not the issue. I have the same problem. DDR2 and DDR3 have completely different form factors. The DIMM would not even fit in the slot due to different form factors.
Hi All,
Thanks for your cooperation to provide these info. These data can be a good source for the engineers to start off the investigation. Also, please remember to provide me the machine serial number and machine type model via private message.
behyc, wchen,
Can you share the same info with me? Since you're in Asean region, it would be easier for me get someone to contact you should the engineers need to check out your machines. Can you help me with that?
Thank you.

Report: Oregon tight end Pharaoh Brown suspended for role in snowball fight
Oregon suspended starting tight end Pharaoh Brown for the Alamo Bowl for his role in a viral video that showed University of Oregon students and several football players participating in a snowball fight, reports the Oregonian's Andrew Greif.
The tenth-ranked Ducks play Texas in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 30.
Head coach Mark Helfrich said over the weekend that discipline was coming for those involved in the snowball fight.
According the report, other players have been disciplined internally and more suspensions could come later for the snowball incident that players and more than 100 students participated in.
On the video, a group of people stopped cars and threw snowballs at them and then dumped snow on the vehicle's windshields. One of the cars was driven by a former Oregon professor, who said he would not press charges.
"On Saturday, I was made aware of an incident that occurred Friday afternoon during the snow day involving multiple Oregon students, including members of the football team," Helfrich said in a statement. "The behavior exhibited in the video is completely unacceptable and dangerous. We take this matter very seriously and disciplinary actions have begun."

Water festival, Wednesday, August 14, 1935
Water festival, Wednesday, August 14, 1935

Wakefield, Mass. : Wakefield Municipal Gas & Light Department,
Photo courtesy of the Wakefield Item Company.
"The Wakefield Chamber of Commerce and several other local organizations sponsored a Water Carnival on Lake Quannpowitt which attracted 20,000 to 30,000 spectators. Crowds lined the shores of the lake and many others sat comfortably in cars along Main Street to watch the events which began with swimming races at 1:30 p.m. and ended with fireworks and the singing of 'Auld Lang Syne' at 10:30 p.m. The weather was ideal for a day at the Lake, although the sailboat races were postponed due to a lack of a 'sufficient' breeze. The day's schedule also included a diving exhibition, a canoe tilting contest, exhibitions by the Riverview Canoe Club and the Sea Scouts, a twilight regatta, a war canoe race (with six five-man canoes), a concert by St. Joseph's Band and the grand community chorus, the selection of a carnival queen, an illuminated diving exhibition by the Boston Swimming Club, a float parade, and an aerial fireworks display which was set off from a diving raft in the lake. The Veterans of Foreign Wars also sponsored a Carnival Ball at the ballroom. Among the highlights of the carnival was the entrance of the Wakefield Red Men who marched in full uniform down Main Street to the common, paddled their canoes down the lake, and performed a war dance near their teepee which was erected on the shore." -- Text from calendar by Jayne M.

Get a Great Desktop for Under $500
- Get a Great Desktop for Under $500
- Dell Inspiron 530
- eMachines EL1200-05w
- HP Compaq Presario SR5610F
- Lenovo ThinkCentre A62
How low should you go when buying a PC? When it comes to basic computing needsWeb browsing, photo uploads and edits, music playback, report and e-mail writing, spreadsheet tracking--you can go pretty darn low in price. Actually, you can get a whole lot of computer for less than $500. And that's great news, especially during the holidays.
Value desktops are perfect if your computing needs are modest, your budget is tight, or you're looking for a second PC. Look for a system that has a dual-core processor, which is a must for today's attention-challenged, multitasking PC users, and at least 2GB of RAMthe more memory the better. Windows Vista and DVD burners prevail in this price range and are wise investments. Many come with hard drives of substantial capacity (250GB to 320GB). A good value PC should last three or four years easily.
With a decent value PC, you'll be able to do more than just Web browsing. With 2GB to 3GB of memory and a largish hard drive, you'll be able to store lots of digital photos and music for your iPod, and you'll be able to edit both photos and music. You can even do some light video editing and transcoding on these PCsjust make sure you've got a little time if it's a big job, such as a 2-hour home movie.
You'll need to budget another $200 for a monitor, unless you're going to use the one from your previous computer. Peripherals like keyboards and mice are included, though they're usually inferior to the keyboards and mice in the more-expensive mainstream PC category. Some models still come with antiquated ball mice. Any pack-in speakers are likely to be tinny-sounding but usable.
Word to the wise: When you're trying to save money, it's tempting to buy the cheapest PC you can findbut don't do it. If it doesn't have these recommended parts, you'll wind up with something that is super slow or, worse yet, unusable within a year. That incredible buy may cost you more money in the long run.
Here are four value desktops we've chosen to help you get your shopping started. Good luck!
Featured in this Roundup:
Dell Inspiron 530
Dell's latest budget offering, the Inspiron 530, is a competent system for everyday home use (e-mailing, DVD burning, office productivity).
eMachines EL1200-05w
$298 direct
A cheap PC for the Web-surfing crowd, the eMachines EL1200-05w is only powerful enough to get you on the Web and run very basic Windows programs.
HP Compaq Presario SR5610F
$399 direct
When it comes to handling basic daily computing tasks, the SR5610F does the job easily.
Lenovo ThinkCentre A62
$469 direct
The Lenovo ThinkCentre A62 is for businesses that need a little bit more: more expansion room, processing power, and more computer overall. As configured here, think of it as the PC for workers who complain that their old machines are too slow.

Check out this link if your serious about cleaning your AR in a sonic cleaner.
It has to be expensive but it would be the only game in town that I have found.
I also use an untrasonic for all my cleaning needs, including my shower heads with CLR and anything else I can find to put in it.
I use mine exactly as Cryogenic419 does and for the same reasons.
I use Hornady's solution and also a Lemi-shine (from Wallmart, 3.99 a bottle) and a squirt of dawn dishwashing detergent. Works about as well as Hornady's One Shot for brass. You have to use a different solution for steel products, Hornady sells it also.
I've never cleaned a whole pistol in mine but I throw my 9mm pistol barrels in mine once in a while.
I've never used stainless steel pins and cleaning solution in my rotary tumbler so I can't comment on it. I'm sure it works very well also. Theres a lot of good feedback on the other forums about it.

Because I woke up early (at least for me, 8AM is early)... and I've already taken some melatonin and it's beginning to take effect (I'm sleepy... ). Printed yet another copy with a Null Transform and visually that matches the 16 bit plugin (I've yet to confirm that with some measurements). I'm hoping that's enough confirmation that all is well with the 16 bit Plugin but damn... these things don't instill a whole lot of confidence in... well, I'm still not exactly sure who it is that I should or shouldn't have confidence in. Apple writes the APIs, it's their job to maintain the codebase and gracefully deal with changes to said codebase so I feel like they deserve a big finger pointed at them but... When ACPU is supposed to solve such problems and it doesn't match something which is.. err... was... um... is??? a known quantity, I start questioning everything. 'Tis frustrating.Time to sleep so I can look at this with a clear head tomorrow (profiling Innova's IFA-45... very very nice stuff)
Which method of printing targets should we trust ?
I propose the null transform trick for most RGB and CMYK (Postscript) printers....
It won't work with Photoshop CS6. Trying to use the "trick" results in a warning dlog from CS6's Print window.
What's it using to identify the profile? If it's just using the name you could always duplicate and rename a profile's file name and internal name.Cheers, Joe
Why can't you use ACPU? Answer my question if you are having trouble with it.
ACPU will only print correctly if it is listed in the AppColorMatchingInfo.xml file.What are your driver settings when printing from ACPU? Specifically under Main/ColorMode:?Doyle
Well I finally spoke to Adobe's printing engineer this morning and yes, they've intentionally removed working space profiles from the print dialog box which makes the Null Transform Trick we know and love pretty much dead. That's not to say you couldn't use other profiles to make this trick work but some testing is in order...
Ive talked to them too and the reason they did this was, like removing the no color management option, to make the print process easier on the masses. It wasnt to piss color geeks off <g>.
The removal of working space profiles was specifically to make things easier on Adobe's support team, which is distinctly different from customers.
Your points aren't lost on me Andrew.
Photoshop's traditional massive list of profiles in the print dialog contrasts with Lightroom's highly focused customizable menu. Why not have a customizable menu that allows for working space profiles but shows only printer profiles by default?
PDF color space equivalenceAnother simple but very important concept that Quartz inherited from PDF is color space equivalence. An implied rule is that color conversions are necessary only if the source color space is different from the destination. Quartz takes advantage of this simple rule to properly organize the flow of color data through multiple rendering stages:
question: with Preview, you mean the apple program called Preview that comes with macs?
