The standard-issue sport seats in the 2012 Porsche Cayman R are the first sign. Dual centre-mounted exhaust pipes are another, as are the simple red straps that stand in for door pulls, not to mention the large, fixed rear wing. The slammed-to-the-ground stance over 19-inch wheels also reveal this particular Cayman is not a car meant for coffee runs.
Climbing in and out of those snug sport seats is not something that will be done with grace, either, especially for those with generously proportioned cabooses. But once ensconced in these carbon-fibre-and-leather-wrapped thrones, the road ahead feels as if it is at your command. No, the seats don't adjust upward or recline — you adjust to them — but they are remarkably comfy for what are ostensibly racing seats, holding you as snugly as a mother to her newborn, plus they will work with a six-point harness.
As soon as the Cayman R gets underway, it's clear this car is more about business than cup holders, much like the serious Boxster Spyder that preceded this car and on which it is based. This particular Cayman's exhaust is raspy and loud, the ride is extraordinarily firm and jouncy, especially so in sport or sport-plus mode, to the point that it is useless to try and hold any kind of beverage with one hand while hanging on to the beautifully sculpted, leather sport wheel with the other.
But once the pavement smooths and the traffic clears, prepare for one of the sweetest sensations in motoring as the throttle builds and the Cayman R — the lightest and fastest Cayman ever built — uses its unique power-to-weight ratio to whip up powerful g-forces as easily as Gordon Ramsay makes shepherd's pie.
While the Cayman R's 330 horsepower from a 3.4-litre flat-six is only a scant 10 more than the Cayman S, about 55 kilograms of fat has been shaved from the car to put it at 1,295 kg. Again, the numbers aren't large, but in conjunction with the power bump, they work to produce a real and genuine edge over the S, allowing the Cayman R to reach 100 kilometres an hour in five seconds flat — or about two tenths quicker than the S over the same ground. Simply put, the R feels more alive, more responsive, more athletic.
Out on the track, where every second matters, the Cayman R will pull a substantial lead over the S in short order and even keep up with regular 911s. Sure, 355 horsepower from the base 911 would be even nicer in the R, but contentment is quickly found in other places, such as steering that tells the driver what the front wheels, and even the back end, are doing at all times. The standard steel brakes also tend to inspire a tad too much confidence. Lord knows what would happen with the optional carbon ceramic rotors.
As it was, the Cayman R felt eminently at home at Calabogie Motorsports Park just north of Ottawa, where the car waltzed through the track's 20-plus corners like a knowing partner. Left in sport-plus mode, the Cayman R's seven-speed double-clutch gearbox, controlled via elegant aluminum paddle shifters just aft of the steering wheel, or by the shifter itself, shifted up and down at precisely the right point during acceleration and hard braking, allowing complete focus on the proper track line as well as precise braking and acceleration points.
At $75,600, the Cayman R might, in some camps, be even considered a bargain, considering it costs only $4,700 more than a Cayman S, yet has all the track components to turn anyone who owns one into a regular contributor to Rennlist.
Yes, air conditioning can be added for a costly $2,000, as can wider, less constraining seats. And, of course, the Cayman R can be driven, like just about every other Porsche in the fleet, easily in town and out on the highway, even attaining remarkable fuel economy of 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres of highway driving.
But why bother? As it sits, the Cayman R looks, sounds and acts like the ideal weekend track star, meant to be driven ruthlessly hard, meant to stand out from pedestrian sports coupes (especially in beautiful Peridot Green) — meant to deliver the kind of driving purity and passion that owning a Porsche ought to bring. For a small car with only 10 extra horses, that's a huge accomplishment.

¿No tiene una cuenta? Registrarse
Trustmus.com is an international reviews site with millions of reviews for thousands of different products. This guide will look at 10 reasons why consumers should use Trustmus.com, and how it can help them to make a decision.
1. Staying Safe
With so many different businesses all competing for your business online, it's important that you keep your wits about you and stay safe. It's easy to create a professional looking website which could easily mislead you. However, by reading reviews on Trustmus, it is much easier to keep yourself safe.
2. Finding a Reputable Company to Deal with
By reading honest and genuine reviews it should be easier for you to identify reputable companies who are worth doing business with. There are plenty of fraudsters operating online who have no intention of posting you the products. By reading real world reviews about the company you are considering buying from, you can learn all about them from past experiences.
3. Genuine Reviews
Unlike many other review sites, the registration process on Trustmus is very strict. They do this to make sure that the reviews on the site are genuine and cannot be biased.
4. Real world information about the Company
The reviews are left by real customers about their real experiences with the company. This is an extremely valuable way of finding out what their experiences were like, since you will probably have a similar experience.
5. Discover hidden costs
If a retailer adds hidden costs then this will leave a bad taste in the mouth of the customer. It will also result in negative reviews being left on Trustmus. Discover exactly what the price they paid is.
6. Find out delivery times
You can also use Trustmus to discover how long it takes for the goods to arrive. Since these are real times it should be easy to find a company which posts products promptly.
7. Save Time
Trustmus makes it easier to find a reputable company by simply searching through the website. You can search based on the company name, type, or just browse the website looking for suitable companies.
8. All Reviews in One Place
As all the reviews are in the same place, there's no need to visit multiple sites to review different products and companies.
9. Compare Companies with Ease
Because one site has lots of different reviews, it's simple to make comparisons between competing companies that you are thinking about buying from.
The continuous search for ways to make services and products more accessible to consumers has led to an upsurge of the number of e-commerce businesses. This means that although life is made much simpler for the consumer, businesses have to constantly find ways to be more efficient and improve customer experience; a task which is slightly problematic due to the lack of face to face contact with the customer. This gap between you and your customer has fortunately been filled by online review website Trustmus.
1) One-on-one communication with your customers
Every business owner knows the importance of customer feedback. A customer will not care about your truck breaking down thus causing a late delivery of goods. If the customer feels that your service is bad then guess what? Your service is bad. This is why it is important to know what customers feel about your product or service in order to be able to improve your standards and attract more clients.
2) It has a wide reach
Active in 32 countries across the world, Trustmus has a reach in all the continents, apart from Antarctica. This ensures that your client base, no matter where in the world they are, can write about your product or service and give valued reviews.
3) It's diverse
With over 417 different business categories to choose from, you can be sure that your business will find a suitable niche.
4) No language barriers
If you don't speak English then there are 25 different languages that the website can be run in. This is especially helpful if your clientele is from different parts of the world and ensures that even they are able to provide meaningful feedback.
5) It's Free
Your customers can access Trustmus and review your business for free. The sign-up is literally a minute process and all they would need is a valid email address or a Facebook account, they're good to go. This is great for businesses because customers will not be taking too much of their own time to give reviews and they will not be incurring any costs.
6) You can avoid defamation
If Trustmus feels that a review may be false, the user or customer may be asked to provide some proof of purchase such as a receipt. This ensures that your business's reputation is protected from individuals that are out to harm your businesses.
7) Online support
You can be sure that you will receive support at anytime from anywhere in the world.

Taryn Manning may play the less crime-savvy sister of Det. Steve McGarrett on "Hawaii Five-O," but she's prepping to expand her role should duty call.
The actress said she's been hard at work on the Hawaiian set of the heavily promoted CBS show and her producers are attempting to give her character a bit more depth beyond emotional ballast.
"They are establishing her with a skill set," Manning told PopcornBiz. "We're starting to see that she's really good on computers."
"She's off on her own Nancy Drew little mission to figure out stuff about her own family."
Manning jetted off the Hawaiian set of "5-0" to speak to us from the premiere of her heart-wrenching drama "Love's Rain," where she plays the victim of a terrible crime. But back in Hawaii, she's all about the new CBS crime-fighting show that premieres on Sept. 20.
So could the "5-0" show's producers have a greater plan for her character? Perhaps make her part of the crime busting team as the season progresses? "I think she could be," Manning said. "She's got the skills."
The actress will be introduced to the series as McGarrett's (Alex O'Loughlin) estranged sister brought into the scene due to a family drama. Sister for now, perhaps more in the future.
To answer the inevitable follow-up, Manning replies, "Yes, I'm good with a gun."

New York Red Bulls 2 Houston Dynamo 2 (Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 6 p.m. MT, Univision Deportes, MLS Direct Kick, and MLS Live)
In what was a closely-fought regular season, the Red Bulls clinched the Supporters' Shield with the fifth lowest points-per-game tally in MLS history.
Their first foray into the 2013 Playoffs continued in the same vein. This one is tense, tight and tantalizingly poised ahead of the second leg inside Red Bull Arena.
Yes, Mike Petke's men have home-field advantage and remain on course to become only the fifth team to lift both the Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup in the same year (LA Galaxy and DC United have achieved the feat twice).
Yes, during the regular season they won all three meetings with the Dynamo, scoring nine and conceding just one.
But this is the Playoffs, and the Dynamo – with head coach Dominic Kinnear back on the bench after his controversial one-game ban – have a reputation of coming alive at this stage of the campaign.
The Texas team, though, will have to be at their very best. Road form throughout the regular season was patchy, with just five wins from their 17 away games.
For Houston to stand a chance, they have to get in amongst the Red Bulls early on and continue where they left off in the first leg, when coming from 2-0 down. If not, then the Red Bulls could run riot.
PREDICTION: NYRB 3, Dynamo 1 (Red Bulls to win 5-3 on aggregate)
Sporting Kansas City 1, New England Revolution 2 (Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. MT on MLS Direct Kick and MLS Live)
Sporting KC's coach, Peter Vermes, need only sit his players down in front of the highlights from the first leg to have them fired-up for the return. The Revs' first goal, tapped in by Andy Dorman, had Vermes and Co. seething, with the suggestion being that 'all three players were offside'.
And so expect a determined Sporting KC to take to the field on Wednesday, knowing that they are unbeaten at home in their last seven matches against New England. Indeed, they triumphed 3-0 over the Revs when the two teams met at Sporting Park in the regular season.
But Sporting KC will have to improve on their recent goals-per-game average if they're to progress, managing to net just six in the previous six.
It'll be interesting to see what approach Revs' head coach Jay Heaps takes. Do they sit and protect their lead, in the hope of maybe hitting SKC on the break? Or do they go in search of an early 'killer' goal? The former is always a risky ploy, as it then requires a complete change in mindset should the opposition breach your defenses.
Despite the dearth of goals, my Spidey-senses point to a home win and a meeting with the Red Bulls, though it may take extra-time … and possibly penalty kicks.
PREDICTION: SKC 2, Revs 1 (decided by pks).

Maria Claudia André of the Hope College Spanish faculty has co-edited the book "The Woman in Latin American and Spanish Literature."
André, who is a professor of Spanish and chairperson of the department of modern and classical languages at Hope, co-edited the volume with Eva Paulino Bueno of St. Mary's University of San Antonio, Texas. It has been published by McFarland and Company Inc. of Jefferson, N.C., and London, England.
The book features essays by noted scholars of Latin American and Spanish literature exploring the literary history of Latin America through the representation of iconic female characters. Focusing both on canonical novels and on works virtually unknown outside their original countries, the essays discuss the important ways in which the characters represent nature, history, race and gender, the effects of globalization, and the unknowable "other." They examine how both male and female writers portray Latin American women, reinterpreting the dynamics between the genders across boundaries and historical periods.
"Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries" praised the book as "highly recommended," noting, "As a whole, this beautifully edited volume is a strong contribution to the field."
A member of the Hope faculty since 1994, André specializes in Hispanic American literature and Latin American studies in her teaching at the college. She has presented papers at national and international conferences and published articles in several literary journals.
She has also edited or co-edited several other books, including "Chicanas and Latin American Women Writers: Exploring the Realm of the Kitchen as a Self-Empowering Site" (Edwin Mellen Press, 2001), "Antología de Escritoras Argentinas Contemporáneas" (Editorial Biblos, Buenos Aires, 2003), "Entre mujeres: colaboraciones, influencias e intertextualidades en la literatura y el arte latinoamericano" (Red internacional del libro, Santiago de Chile, 2004), "Iconos femeninos latinos e hispanoamericanos" (Floricanto Press, 2006), "Seven Plays by Argentine Playwright Susana Torres Molina" (Edwin Mellen Press, 2007), the "Encyclopedia of Latin American Women Writers" (Routledge, 2008), "En esa habitacion propia" (Sirpus, 2010) and "Dramaturgas argentinas de los años 20" (Editorial Nueva Generación, 2010).
André holds a bachelor's degree in translation and interpretation from the Universidad del Salvador (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and a doctorate in Latin American and Spanish literature from the State University of New York at Albany.

Until then, I have some regular nummies to share with you. To make this divine pasta dish, I employed the method from my Velvety Roasted Herbed Tomato Soup from TEV to roast and caramelize those luscious pieces of tomato and garlic you see adorning the noodles.
In the soup recipe (p. 90 of TEV), the tomatoes and garlic are pureed with the other soup ingredients for this thick, luscious, smooth herbaceous tomato soup. But here, for the pasta, I left the roasted tomatoes and garlic in large, chunky pieces! The method is simple, and yet gives maximum flavah!
So, let's get to how it's done. I prefer to use roma or plum tomatoes, but other varieties can be used. You don't even need to measure for this pasta, just eyeball it. Get 6-8 tomatoes and cut in half, and place on a baking sheet (lined with parchment). Then, get a bunch of garlic cloves, maybe 10 or so, and smash with a knife to remove the skins. Then, cut in halves or quarters, and embed the cut garlic cloves in the juicy pockets of the tomatoes. Shower the tomatoes withdried oregano, basil, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and of course extra virgin olive oil - sllllurp! Those tomatoes love that olive oil! Here they are all ready... Pop in the oven and roast 'em up, anywhere from 375 - 400 degrees for about 40 - 50 mins (longer time for lower heat, and also depending on how big the tomatoes are). You'll know they're done when they look like this...
All golden and shriveled and roasty-toasty marvelously good! And - the garlic cloves stay moist in those tomatoes, instead of burning.
That's about it! Get your pasta ready when the tomatoes are just about finished (or you can do the tomatoes ahead of time, no problem)... gently toss the tomatoes and juices (scrape all those juices off the paper) with the pasta, along with some olive oil and s & p to tastel. I also added white beans and fresh basil. Splendid delicious! Not to mention that by using a whole-grain pasta with the white beans, you have a protein-rich dish as well.
What's not to love.... cook it up, my pretties!

Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, is the place where you could say the United States was born. In 1776 representatives from the 13 original American Colonies signed the Declaration of Independence in Independence Hall and the rest is history. The city was founded by William Penn, a Quaker, in the 1600s. It mostly consisted of the area from the Delaware river to city hall in these earlier times. That area forms the historical district today and the area where visitors to the city focus most of their attention.

Set Your TiVo: 11.14.11Posted by Brian Otskey on November 14th, 2011
Brian Otskey is the Big East correspondent for RTC and a regular contributor. You can find him @botskey on Twitter. See bottom of the post for the Official RTC Star System.
Two games from the ESPN marathon highlight tonight's slate but don't sleep on a potential upset special in South Bend and a power conference battle in LA.
Detroit @ Notre Dame – 9:00 PM EST on ESPNU (***) (cross-posted on RTC Live)
- Point guard Eric Atkins carried the Fighting Irish to victory in their first game this season, one of four (including tonight) without senior forward Tim Abromaitis, currently sitting out due to a suspension. The sophomore Atkins poured in 27 points on 6-7 FG (along with six assists) in a win over Mississippi Valley State on Saturday. Against star Detroit point guard Ray McCallum, Atkins will have to protect the ball and run the offense effectively against a hungry Titans squad looking to upset a Big East squad on its home floor. As a result, Atkins' scoring opportunities may be reduced. Without Abromaitis, Notre Dame is very thin and must turn to Scott Martin for a big offensive output. If Martin or Atkins is held in check, the Irish could be looking at their first loss in only their second game of the season.
- Detroit's offense is loaded with scoring threats from McCallum to Chase Simon and Nick Minnerath, among others. While McCallum deservedly gets most of the press, Minnerath and his front court teammate, LaMarcus Lowe, could be the difference in this game. Notre Dame has a collection of 6'5" and 6'6" type guys on its roster with only Jack Cooley and Mike Broghammer providing any kind of bulk in the paint. The Titans have a chance to really take advantage of the mismatch in the lane and offset any advantages Notre Dame may have elsewhere. Detroit and Notre Dame play at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of pace. Expect the Titans to push the pace all night, attacking Atkins defensively in search of turnovers and easy basket opportunities in the open floor. With McCallum's play-making ability and Atkins coming off a four turnover game, this matchup sets up well for Detroit.
- Will Mike Brey counter with the burn offense? It's possible but Brey trusted Ben Hansbrough to run that for all 40 minutes last season. He's no longer around so we doubt Brey will use it all game with a sophomore point guard. You may see it at times, especially if Detroit picks up a lot of easy buckets early, but the Irish just need to execute their normal half court offense and avoid turnovers. Pace, rebounding and defense will be what to watch for in this game. Cooley had ten rebounds last time out and a repeat performance may be needed for the Irish to avoid a loss. Neither team has a reputation for defending well so this could be a high scoring game. With Abromaitis out, Detroit may actually have more weapons to turn to offensively. The Titans have a terrific chance to win this game on the road.
Nebraska @ USC – 10:30 PM EST on Prime Ticket (**)
- USC returns only one starter from last year's team, Maurice Jones. At 5'7", Jones has trouble getting his shot off and it showed against Cal State Northridge on Friday, going 0-7 (a major part of USC's 0-15) from deep. It won't get easier against Doc Sadler's defense. USC is going to have to score points inside to win this game. Dewayne Dedmon and Aaron Fuller can do that but the Cornhuskers ranked #6 in two point defense last season. Kevin O'Neill also has to find some way for his team to rebound since Nikola Vucevic and Alex Stepheson are no longer in LA. Nebraska outrebounded South Dakota 42-24 in its Friday victory.

Today, Twenty20 fans will be ready for a full day of entertainment as the Friends Life T20 finals are played out. The two semi-finals will be swiftly followed by what is set to be a thrilling final showdown this evening.
There are four talented teams looking to lift the trophy; Hampshire, Somerset, Sussex and Yorkshire are all vying to become champions tonight.
Yet, with all of the talent on display there must be a favourite and Sussex are the standout team.
The Sharks have one of the best attacking line-ups with the likes of Chris Nash and Matt Prior poised to score plenty of runs. They also have the star man of this year's competition, Scott Styris.
He put on one of the best individual batting displays of 2012 in the quarter-final against Gloucestershire. For the fans that attended, it was a golden ticket, as they admired the flair of Styris who hit a century from just 37 balls.
On his way to the joint third-fastest T20 century in history, the New Zealander scored 38 runs in an over. It was nonstop entertainment.
Personally, I will admit that before this display from Scott Styris, county cricket in Britain had never appealed to me. It just hasn't had the same impact as the big-money Indian Premier League, which fans in the UK can also follow.
However, one moment of brilliance on a July afternoon helped to capture the imagination. Hopefully, this Saturday evening the level of entertainment will reach the same heights. Who knows? Either way, I would suggest that tonight's final is one to keep an interested eye on.

Windows 8 store applications need to be built on a TFS build agent running in interactive mode if you wish to run any tests. So whilst rebuilding all our build systems I decided to try to have all the agents running interactive. As we tend to run one agent per VM this was not going to be a major issue I thought.
However, whilst testing we found that any of our builds that use the Typemock build activities failed when the build agent was running interactive, but work perfectly when it was running as a service. The error was
Exception Message: Access to the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TypeMock' is denied. (type UnauthorizedAccessException)
Exception Stack Trace: at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.Win32Error(Int32 errorCode, String str)
at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKeyInternal(String subkey, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck permissionCheck, Object registrySecurityObj, RegistryOptions registryOptions)
at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKey(String subkey, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck permissionCheck)
at Configuration.RegistryAccess.CreateSubKey(RegistryKey reg, String subkey)
at TypeMock.Configuration.IsolatorRegistryManager.CreateTypemockKey()
at TypeMock.Deploy.AutoDeployTypeMock.Deploy(String rootDirectory)
at TypeMock.CLI.Common.TypeMockRegisterInfo.Execute()
at TypeMock.CLI.Common.TypeMockRegisterInfo..ctor() at System.Activities.Statements.Throw.Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager)
at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
So the issue was registry access. Irrespective of whether running interactive or as a service I used the same domain service account, which was a local admin on the build agent. The only thing that changed as the mode of running.
After some thought I focused on UAC being the problem, but disabling this did not seem to fix the issue. I was stuck or so I thought.
However, Robert Hancock unknown to me, was suffering a similar problem with a TFS build that included a post build event that was failing to xcopy a Biztalk custom functoid DLL to 'Program Files'. He kept getting an 'exit code 4 access denied' error when the build agent was running interactive. Turns out the solution he found on Daniel Petri Blog also fixed my issues as they were both UAC/desktop interaction related.
The solution was to create a group policy for the build agent VMs that set the following
- User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode – Set its value to Elevate without prompting.
- User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation – Set its value to Disabled.
- User Account Control: Only elevate UIAccess applications that are installed in secure locations – Set its value to Disabled.
- User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode – Set its value to Disabled.
Once this GPO was pushed out to the build agent VMs and they were rebooted my Typemock based build and Robert Biztalk builds all worked as expected

LOS ANGELES – The head of Cedars-Sinai's hypertension center will use a $8.5 million grant to help train black barbers to check men for high blood pressure, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center announced today.
"Uncontrolled hypertension is one of the biggest health problems facing the African-American community today," said Dr. Ronald G. Victor, who published a study in 2011 showing that barber shop-based outreach could help save hundreds of lives.
Undetected hypertension can surface in the form of heart and kidney damage and lead to strokes and heart attacks.
Victor will use part of grant from National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, to start a new study involving about 20 Los Angeles area barber shops, with the aim of possibly expanding the project, a statement said.

Google's Motorola is launching a cheap smartphone targeted at customers in emerging markets such as South America and Asia, as well as cash-strapped Americans.
Motorola launched the $179 (without contract) 8GB Moto G Wednesday which, despite the low cost, provides pretty good specs, according to USA Today.
"This device is likely intended for emerging markets where users want low-cost smartphones, but I think it could also be successful in major markets like the U.S. for those same cost-conscious-consumers," technology industry analyst Jeff Kagan said.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The Moto G has a 4.5-inch, high-definition display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, front- and rear-facing cameras as well as 50 GB of storage on Google Drive. All this for likely a fraction of the $179 price tag for a two-year wireless contract. The new Apple iPhone 5C, Apple's cheaper phone, is $500 without a contract. Not really much of a comparison on price -- so what else does it have to make people want it? It will also be upgraded to Android KitKat in 2014, but will be delivered running Jellybean.
KitKat was specially engineered for cheaper phones, so the Android platform would perform as well on high-end as well as low-end smartphones. Now those in the developing world can purchase new low-end, updated and less-fragmented Android phones.
The Moto G goes on sales in Brazil and Europe this week. In the next few weeks it will drop in other parts of South America, Canada and Asia. The devices are expected to launch in the United States, India and the Middle East in January.

How Much Money Do You Spend Each Day? [POLL]
Saving money is easier for some people than others.
A new study has shed some light on who is dropping the most benjamins on a given day (not taking into account traditional bills, such as car payments or housing costs).
A married person between the ages of 40 and 44 spends the most, at $123 a day, while someone who's divorced aged 70 and older spends the least, at $51 a day. Of course, we don't think this study takes into account that tightwad affectionately known as the 'cheapskate,' whose ability to squeeze out a five-course meal with pocket change skews the curve.
What Americans Spend Each Day on Average:
- Married - $102
- Couples who live together - $98
- Divorced - $74
- Single and never married - $67
- Widowed - $62

Facebook is offering 15-second video spots ranging from $1 million to $2.5 million to advertisers, hoping to grab a piece of the lucrative TV ad market.
Facebook began testing the ads in December and are now offering the videos to advertisers today, according to Bloomberg News. Advertisers will be able to schedule what time of day the ads will run and how often. The video spots will show up in news feeds in April or May.
The pricey video ads are Facebook's attempt to lure TV advertising bucks online, mainly because TV ad spending still surpasses the Web by about $24 billion a year. Facebook also promises that the ads won't be disruptive.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"In the past we've done more stuff to just ship things quickly and see what happens in the market," Brian Boland, Facebook's vice president of ads product marketing told Bloomberg News. "Now, instead of just throwing something out there, we're making sure that we're getting it right first."
Facebook promises users won't see the ads more than three times a day and will be targeted by age and gender. Unnamed sources gave the ad range of $1 million to $2.5 million a day. Facebook's price is deemed worth it, because it can give advertisers access to hundreds of millions of people.
Facebook doesn't know how the video ads will be received by users and it could prove problematic. However, the problems it will face from users are probably mitigated a lot by the $1 to $2.5 million per ad it will be collecting.

Resistance to California's public-safety realignment program is mounting.
Resistance to California's public-safety realignment program is mounting.
Eighteen months ago, the state implemented a court-mandated plan to shift thousands of prison inmates to county jails. The results have been mixed, and they have been unpopular with officials in most of the state's 58 counties.
Two Stockton women, upset over recent crimes related to the early release of parolees, are taking the lead in pushing back.
Assemblywoman Susan Eggman, D-Stockton, has introduced AB601, a bill designed to send the most dangerous parole violators back to prison for one year. And Diana Munoz said the state is responsible for the debilitating injuries suffered by her daughter, Brandy.
Twenty-one-year-old Brandy Arreola was brutally beaten last year. Her former boyfriend, who had been released early from jail, has been charged with attempted murder.
Munoz appeared at a capital news conference this week pushing Arreola in a wheelchair. The Stockton mom was in Sacramento to support a package of Republican-backed bills that would roll back realignment and expand state prisons.
California's plan to send prisoners back to local jails was enacted Oct. 1, 2011, to comply with a federal court order to reduce overcrowding at state prisons. It shifted the overcrowding problem to jails, and, consequently, has contributed to the early release of inmates.
Eggman wants to give the judiciary the authority to send violent inmates back to state prison. Assemblyman Ken Cooley, D-Rancho Cordova, is co-author of the legislation.
"The state has already acknowledged these offenders are a higher risk," Eggman said in a written statement. "We need the flexibility to return the most dangerous parolees to prison when they violate parole."
Her website refers to several high-profile cases in California, "including four in San Joaquin County," where repeat-offender parolees were released and "committed heinous crimes."
On Tuesday, the county Board of Supervisors is scheduled to review a one-year report on realignment's local impact. Board members are expected to hear about the strain on resources due to the increasing responsibility for more prisoners.
Arreola's accused attacker had served just two days of a 100-day jail sentence when he was released after a technical parole violation.
If realignment didn't exist, Munoz said Tuesday, "my daughter would be living her life normally."

Updated 2016
The secret is out and as one of the most gorgeous cities in the Mediterranean area, Dubrovnik is starting to get a lot of attention from international travelers. This is a coastal resort city that doesn't yet have the crowds it deserves, but that won't last forever. The city is nicknamed the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' and the whole place has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
What to do
The pedestrian-only Old Town is one of the top draws in the city. There are plenty of churches and palaces spread through the area, with lots of small cafes and bars mixed between. This hilly area is a pleasant place to get lost, but it's small enough that it's unlikely to happen.
The ancient city walls are largely in tact and should also be part of your itinerary. Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, these thick walls protected the city from outsiders and now they fascinate the increasing number of visitors.
Read: The Pearl of the Adriatic Sea: Dubrovnik.
Getting there
You can book a flight into Dubrovnik Airport (code: DBV), which is about 20 km outside the city. Most flights come from within Europe, so if you are coming from North America you'll likely be changing planes in London, Paris, Frankfurt, or Amsterdam. There are no trains to Dubrovnik now, but bus service from nearby cities is frequent and not terribly expensive.
Where to stay
There are plenty of hotels in Dubrovnik, and a growing number of hostels as well. Prices tend to be on the low side, but some of the cheaper places are not quite up to Western standards yet. Book well in advance if you are coming during summer if you want to lock in a good place.

Charlotte Catholic All-American football star Elijah Hood has committed to Notre Dame. Hood chose Notre Dame over North Carolina. He committed Sunday after returning from a second trip to South Bend, Ind.
Hood, a 6-foot-1, 220-pound junior, said he came close to committing on a visit to Notre Dame in February. After this weekend's second visit, he knew he was ready.
"There are plenty of good schools close by," Hood said Sunday night, "but there's something about Notre Dame. It's a great place with so much history and tradition. They have stuff I couldn't have dreamed of. They wowed me. They took my breath away at times. I knew it was the place."
Hood led Charlotte Catholic to the N.C. 3AA championship game in 2012, when he was named the Charlotte Observer offensive player of the year. Hood rushed for a Mecklenburg County record 3,309 yards and a record 48 touchdowns. He's on pace to set career county rushing marks in both categories in the 2013 season.
In the past two years, Hood has rushed for 5,291 yards and 83 scores. He said he will play running back for the Irish. He had previously been getting recruited at running back and linebacker by a number of Division I schools.
"I thought about the 3,300-something yards and 48 touchdowns I had," he said, "and I said, 'Uh, maybe I should stick to what I'm doing.'"
For the class of 2014, national recruiting service rivals.com ranks 14 players as "five-star," or elite recruits. Hood is listed No. 12.
ESPN ranks Hood No. 8 nationally among running backs in the class of 2014.
Hood said he will graduate from Catholic in June 2014 and enroll at Notre Dame shortly after that.
"The process is a crazy process," he said, "and the thing was to get it out of the way as fast I could. I'm ready to move onto other things like finishing high school. It's a great thing."
His father, Vee, a former Catholic star in his own right, said he was comfortable with his son's decision.
"It's the best," Vee Hood said of Notre Dame, "and he wants to be with the best. And you just don't turn down Notre Dame. We had to go up there and see for ourselves and we had to see the type people he'd be around and the coaches he'd be with. Everything is great. Now he can enjoy his senior year.".

Good luck, dude. I'm not a ND fan, but you are one heck of a player and as a sports fan I wish you the best and hope you return to Charlotte one day as a Panther to help them get back to the Super Bowl.

text: I'm a long-time Jeopardy! fan and so was excited to see Sony release it in the app store. Even if you don't like the show, Jeopardy! is a great trivia game. From the opening screen where Johnny Gilbert announces "This is Jeopardy!" to the final Jeopardy! music track and and encouraging, cheering audience, this is a great Jeopardy! experience that thrills. When you first start the game, a big Jeopardy! sign pops up with smaller blue screens in the bottom. For those that don't know (Bueller? … Bueller?), in Jeopardy! you are given a category (i.e. Medical, Movie Characters) and the "answer" (Robin Williams played this zany doctor), and your goal is to come up with the question (Who is Patch Adams?). So whenever I reference the "answer" in this review it's really the question in the regular sense of the term and vice-versa.

Becker's Hospital Review, a trade publication for the health care industry, has named three San Diego County Hospitals to its 2013 list of 100 great hospitals.
The hospitals are Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla, Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside and UC San Diego Medical Center, which has campuses in La Jolla and Hillcrest.
To create its list, the publication said it consulted a range of hospital ranking information from sources such as U.S. News and World Report, Truven Health Analytics, Health Grades and two national award programs.
UC San Diego Medical Center, for example, is ranked No. 1 in the San Diego region by U.S. News in its most recent report. Scripps Green is listed among the top 100 hospitals by Truven Health Analytics for 2013.
In the U.S. News study, UC San Diego Medical Center was ranked nationally in four adult specialties: geriatrics, nephrology, pulmonology and urology. It was also considered to be high-performing in 10 other specialties. The hospital was among 148 — out of 4,793 analyzed nationally — to be ranked in one of the 16 specialties.
Tri-City does not appear on the ranking sources cited by Beckers, but the publication chooses 10 hospitals for its list based on nominations, said Molly Gamble, the publication's editor.
She said Tri-City nominated itself, citing recent clinical and patient safety programs launched in the past year, quality accreditations and acquisition of advanced robotic surgery equipment, and participation in a new Accountable Care Organization.
"Using our editorial judgment, we decided to include the hospital in this year's list," Gamble said in an email. "We found it demonstrated clinical innovation through its participation in the ACO program and it's also been active by initiating clinical programs and initiatives."

All this week, I've been laying out the positive attributes of the entire field of nominees in every category I've been nominated in.
It's unfortunate today that I have to shift gears and bring you the painful truth that… aside from myself… none of the other nominees in this category are funny at all.
I don't know what to say. Perhaps it's the preponderance of pensive pundits that populate the Lamb pen… but whatever it is, this is a droll, humorless bunch. The nominators really $#%&ed this one up.
In the past week or so, my "Unfunniest Lamb Study Commission" has uncovered the shocking truth. The inside story of the rampant bribery, vote tampering, gerrymandering and fraud that was perpetuated in the "Funniest Lamb" category that – aside from myself – resulted in five painfully unfunny blogs being nominated.

MWC 15 Special
While not too much is known about Microsoft's Pink project and Windows Mobile 7, it's clear that Microsoft's real next Windows Mobile release will change everything we know from Windows Mobile today. If you compare the 2000 Pocket PC platform with the 2009 Windows Mobile 6.5 platform, some things have changed but a lot is still the same. Now ZDNet.com's Mary Jo Foley received some - as she writes - information from a "trustworthy source who requests anonymity" which includes hardware specifications of either Microsoft's Pink project or Windows Mobile 7. However, since Microsoft confirmed that it's not building its own phone, I would say that the specs bellow - if real - are the Windows 7 specs for Chassis 1 devices:
That's some impressive hardware specs for a mobile device/smartphone if they turn out to be true. At the moment, I would take every Pink and/orWindows Mobile 7 information with some serious grain of salt.
Cheers ~ Arne

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a substance released into a
man's blood by his prostate gland. A PSA test measures the amount of
prostate-specific antigen in the blood.
Low amounts of PSA may be found in the blood of healthy men. The
amount of PSA in the blood normally increases as a man's prostate enlarges with
age. It is also increased by ejaculation, inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis),
and by prostate cancer.

Texas-Based Fashion Accessory Company To Pay $95,000 To Settle EEOC Age Discrimination Suit
Tandy Brands Accessories Unlawfully Dismissed Several Workers Because of Age, Federal Agency Charged
HOUSTON – A Dallas-based fashion accessory designer and manufacturer will pay $95,000 and furnish other relief to settle an age discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Dallas, violated federal law by terminating Merta Withrow, a 62-year-old manager, because of her age, supposedly as part of a "reduction-in-force," while retaining a lesser qualified and substantially younger manager. During the course of the EEOC's investigation, the agency discovered that, within four months, Tandy Brands terminated another five supervisors, whose ages ranged from 75 to 58, at its Victoria, Texas facility.
The company retained only two supervisors in the relevant location, both of whom were in their early 40s. One of these much younger supervisors assumed the position of receiving and returns supervisor, a position he had not previously held, despite the fact that Withrow had successfully held the position for several years, making her better qualified for the position. The EEOC alleges that Tandy Brands retained the younger, lesser qualified supervisor as part of its campaign to give the company a more youthful image, in line with images of staff prominently displayed on its website.
Age discrimination against persons age 40 and over violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Retaining a person who is substantially younger than a better-qualified employee who is terminated may violate the ADEA, even if the retained individual is within the protected age class (over 40). The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division ( Civil Action No. 4:10-cv-03506) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
The two-year consent decree settling the suit was signed today by U.S. District Judge Keith P. Ellison. In addition to the monetary relief, the decree also contains provisions requiring posting of notice of non-discrimination in all company workplaces and offices; annual training for all managers, supervisors and employees; the implementation of effective anti-discrimination policies, complaint procedures and investigative procedures; and other curative measures.
"Qualified and productive workers must be recognized and retained regardless of age," said EEOC Regional Attorney Jim Sacher of the agency's Houston District Office. "Making employment decisions based on one's age is unlawful, and there is no excuse for such a practice in the 21 st century."
Senior Trial Attorney Connie Wilhite, who handled the case for the EEOC, added, "A company cannot avoid a claim of age discrimination by replacing a 62-year-old with a 40-something if age is the motivating factor. Although the younger person is within the protected class under the ADEA, the fact that he is much younger than the displaced person can and often does signal the company's intent to discriminate based on age. That is what happened in this case."
According to company information, Tandy Brands Accessories, Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets fashion accessories for men, women and children. The company sells its product lines under nationally recognized licensed brand names such as Wrangler®, Totes® and Dockers®, as well as its own proprietary brands such as Rolfs® and Princess Gardner®.

Blogger Sunday Funday: To eat and drink in excess on Sunday. The prep work was taken care of that morning in our respective Beacon Hill, Dorchester, Back Bay and North End kitchens, in between emailing & tweeting to coordinate times and rides. We arrived around 1:30 with bags and coolers in tow to Somerville where Megan's pristine granite countertops and stainless steal appliances were waiting for us.
In this gorgeous space everything from dips and dumplings to tarts and grits were executed in perfect harmony. There was a positive and relaxed vibe about the kitchen as Megan's Aleveropita baked in the oven, Alicia plated her Muhammara and Pate, Michelle boiled water for her cold curry peanut noodles and Meghan gave her sriracha aioli a final stir to top her Tortilla Española. I sauteed leeks to serve as the garnish on my creamy parsnip soup which was heating on the stovetop.
Meghan's White Truffle White Bean Dip. White on white working wonders! Elegant white truffle oil tasted beautiful a top this smooth creamy bean dip.
Alicia's Muhammara More than just a funny name, this traditional middle eastern red pepper and walnut puree was a taste I recognized from a past lunch at Sofra. Alicia's dip welcomed a subtle sweetness which I learned was the addition of molasses. I couldn't get enough!
Meghan's Tortilla Española Layers of dense potato and fluffy eggs were delicious on their own, but even better topped with a homemade just-the-right-amount-of-spice sriracha aioli.
Alicia's Mushroom Pate
I haven't ate much pate that I can recall but I really enjoyed this earthy dip topped with freshly chopped chives.
Michelle's Cold Curry Peanut NoodlesThis Asian inspired dish packed some serious flavors. A coating of peanut sauce and a pop of curry laced with thinly sliced carrots, cucumbers and scallions yielded a refreshing crunch. Cilantro leaves and a dash of lime enhanced the perfectly cooked whole wheat noodles.Creamy Parsnip Soup I have made this soup once before, the recipe comes from my Martha Stuart Living: Great Food Fast cookbook. The soup incorporates obviously parsnips, but also leeks, potato and granny smith apples. A subtle sweetness is detectable from the apple. I added lots of salt and pepper to heighten the flavor and was satisfied with the finished product.
Alicia's Shrimp & GritsSpicy andouille turkey sausage and shrimp mixed with vibrant red and yellow peppers over rich cheesy grits. As I write this post I am eagerly awaiting as some of these leftovers heat up for dinner. Can't wait to dig in once again. Round 3: DessertMegan's Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream Sundaes with Gingerbread Croutons & Spiced Caramel SauceMake you're own sundae bar!
What a finale. I mean, you had me at homemade pumpkin ice cream. But soft gingerbread croutons and warm gooey caramel? Recreating this sundae tonight with vanilla ice cream will not be the same, but I'm not complaining because the latter components which I also took to-go certainly a sundae make.
We even wore Gunner out! What a blast we had cooking, feasting, laughing and drinking bottles of champagne. Sunday Funday at its finest!

till you're blue in the face
till (one) (is) blue in the face
Of something vocalized, for a great or indefinite length of time. You can complain about it till you're blue in the face, but we're going to your grandmother's for Thanksgiving whether you like it or not. They are such strange friends. They'll argue till they're blue in the face, then they'll go out for drinks and be the best of pals.

Update: It should come as no surprise, but Samsung has responded to Apple's attack on the Galaxy S III, saying it will "demonstrate to the court that the Galaxy S III is innovative and distinctive."
Apple and Samsung's ongoing litigation in California federal court has become something of a three-ring circus. Back in December, the presiding judge denied Apple's request for a preliminary injunction against a wide variety of Samsung products.Read More

Living in a city is fun, but there's no question any metropolis would be better if it were made entirely out of Lego bricks. Not practical, sure, but as proven by this (mini) architectural installation, very beautiful.
The project, "Porous City," is a giant grid of over 600 Lego towers at 1:1000 scale—an exercise in urban planning, and also a visual feast.
Some edifices, built by MVRDV are standard urban monoliths, while others are strange takes on the skyscraper, resembling Sim City 2000's arcologies.
Each little structure is a little more complex and unorthodox than the one next to it, Architizer reports, showing just how flexible design can be with the aid of both computers and little plastic blocks. It also just looks tremendously cool. How about using a tiny camera to film a tiny chase scene in there? [Architizer]

Don't you just LOVE New York?! There is just so much to do and see in this city it's crazeee. One week is really not enough! wa wa… I hope I can come back soon. We've had such a great time and I will always remember getting up early and watching the Royal wedding from my hotel here.
As always, the shop windows were fabulous…

We even managed to get out of the city one night and enjoyed
an AMAZING dining experience at
Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills (Westchester,NY)

Straight from the farm to the table, everything served at Blue Hill is either grown or raised or produced there. The photo above is of fresh baby vegetables presented in such a charming way. Who knew a simple leaf could taste that delicious?!

My favourite thing, besides the insanely delicious seafood soup?
A smoked Kale cocktail. You heard me.
I'm sorry I couldn't take more photos, but a girl's gotta be discreet (sometimes 🙂 )
Blue Hill at Stone Farms is about a 50-60 minute drive from Manhattan. Jackets required.
And speaking of cocktails…

And lastly,
Talk about being in a place that you'll never forget when something momentous happens-
I'm now in Washington, DC and the streets are filled with people yelling and running towards the White House with the news of Osama Bin Laden!
This certainly will be a trip I'll never forget.
Well done America
What a week!!

What turns an ordinary event into a memorable celebration? The right tablecloth can make a huge difference. Originally used to protect the table from scratches, tablecloths can help set the tone for any occasion. Think of a crisp white linen tablecloth for formal occasions, or an embroidered or damask tablecloth for more decorative touches.
First, think about your occasion. A formal occasion, such as a black tie affair, calls for classic table linens in neutral tones, like white cotton or white linen. For other occasions, damask tablecloths lend more flair, especially colorful woven damasks. Embroidered tablecloths make the occasion feel more traditional, while prints have a fun, casual, and easy way about them.
Second, get the right size. A tablecloth should hang amply off the sides of your table and never seem too short. We recommend at least eight inches for formal dining. The more the tablecloth hangs, the more formal it looks: think about wedding or banquet tables where the tablecloth drapes all the way to the floor. Use our tablecloth size guide for more information on how to choose the right size tablecloth for your table.
Third, think about color. White is always appropriate but it is quite formal. Irish linen white, ivory, beige, or ecru tones are softer. When choosing colors, think of your tablecloth as the foundation for your decor: a lighter hue will tend to blend in with your setting, whereas stronger color will make a bold statement.
Finally, remember that good tablecloths can be used for years to come. With proper care, a cotton or linen tablecloth can last for years and be handed to the next generation as a precious heirloom. So choose something you'd really love, use it often, and enjoy!
For more information, see our guide on choosing table linens.

hey guys i a m a beginner to programming (trying to become a CS major). so far i feel like in the group of people in class who are behind with the rest of the class. Most of these kids seem to have prior knowledge in programming i do not.
Any helpful hints for me to use to become better at programming and to also Ace this class would be much appreciated.
Anywaysi am trying to develop a program that will count the number of even and odd integers in a set ("even" meaning divisible by 2, "odd" meaning not divisible by 2). zero should be used as an indicator that the set has been completely entered, and this zero should not be counted as part of the set
so far this is what i have come up with.
public class EvenOdd {
* @param args
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.print("Enter number of values (int>=1)");
int n = IO.readInt();
while (n<1){
System.out.print("Number must be >=2");
n = IO.readInt();
int counteven=0,countodd=0;
System.out.print("Enter first number");
int number = IO.readInt();
if (number % 2 == 0){
}else if (number %2 !=0);{
System.out.println("count of even numbers is " + counteven + ".");
System.out.println("count of odd numbers is " + countodd + ".");
I am using eclipse. When i run the program and enter "2" it says not an integer and to try again. then when i enter ten it tell me that my count for even is 1 and count for odd is 1 as well. This should not happen.

"Please read this book by David Walker. No one has worked harder, been armed with more facts, written more clearly and been more dedicated to the mission of restoring confidence in our fiscal affairs and trust in government." —Paul Volcker, Chairman of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board and Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve
"Dave Walker has lifted the hood on the federal government, diagnosed the problems, and provided a number of sensible suggestions to help restore America's greatness. READ THIS BOOK IF YOU CARE ABOUT AMERICA'S FUTURE."—Ross Perot
"David Walker shows us how to regain fiscal sanity and why, if we don't, we're at risk of bequeathing a lower standard of living to our children and becoming a second rate power. Every American should read this book because Walker gives us specific solutions, and shows there is still hope."—Former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley
"DavidWalker has drawn a true frightening and fact-based picture of a looming crisis; a crisis that will make the recent financial meltdown seem like a walk in the park. If this analysis doesn't stir you to action nothing will."—Paul O'Neill, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury under President George W. Bush (43)
"Comeback America is a brilliant, factual, and highly readable account of our current fiscal predicament, how we got there, how we can escape, and what we should do in the future. It is a must read by every American, especially our elected leaders."—Carla Hills, U.S. Trade Representative under President George H.W. Bush (41)
"Every American should read David Walker's clear analysis of our dangerous future federal budget deficits and of our current political system. One might not agree with all of Walker's opinions and recommendations, but they should stimulate serious debate about issues that will determine the future of our society; and hopefully contribute to moving forward on those issues."—Robert Rubin, Co-Chairman, Council on Foreign Relations and Former Secretary of Treasury
"If you're a politician or citizen ready to get a grip—on budgets, spending, entitlement, and health-care reform—the ideas in Comeback America are a good starting point for a discussion."—Philadelphia Inquirer

New Laptop - Testing the System on Week 2
Visits (21979)
Continuing my saga for my [New Laptop], I have gotten all my programs operational, transferred and organized all my data, and now ready for testing. You can read my previous posts on this series: [Day 1], [Day 2], [Day 3], [Day 4].
At this point, you might be thinking, "Testing? Just use your laptop already, deal with problems as you find them!" In my case, I need to sign off that the new laptop meets my needs, and then send back my previous laptop, wiped clean of all passwords and data. I have until the end of June to do this.
The value of testing is to avoid problems later, perhaps an inconvenient time such as a business trip or client briefing. It is better to work out any issues while I am still in the office, connected to the internal IBM intranet on a high-speed wired connection. Also, I plan to do a Physical-to-Virtual (P-to-V) conversion of my Windows XP C: drive to run as a virtual guest OS on Linux, so I want to make sure the image is in working order before the conversion. That said, here is what my testing encountered.
With the testing done, I am ready to go wipe my old system of all passwords and data!
