As if Michael Phelps needed another feather in his already over-stuffed cap, Men's Health has just named him the fittest man of all time.
There are folks on the list like the incredibly hunky Daniel Craig, the inspiring Oscar Pistorius, even Charles Atlas, who pretty much made physique a thing.
Let's put it this way: Ray Lewis only made the list at No. 100.
And Phelps topped them all.
Men's Health defined fitness like this: It "isn't just about abs and muscle tone and obscure measurements like V02 Max — but that's all part of it," they wrote. "Fitness is also about what you do with the body you've built."
They said that smashing records is part of it, but not all of it. Same thing for winning championships, prizes, medals and all that.
Doing the math, the magazine concluded it all came down to one man who's known for looking pretty good wet.
Phelps told the magazine a bit about his peak workouts -- and it sounds like he more than earned the title.
"I was doing 10 workouts a week in the pool, three weight workouts plus three core workouts," he said. "It was totally intense."

Infinity Ward Teases Call of Duty: Ghosts Extinction Mode
Rumored for quite some time, it appears Activision and Infinity Ward are finally ready to reveal the truth about Call of Duty: Ghosts' Extinction mode.
Over on the official Call of Duty Instagram page, a short teaser video was posted of the Ghosts logo transforming into what appeared to be an alien head. Written with the post was the statement, "Survive the #Extinction." Earlier this summer, rumors about a new mode coming to Ghosts hinted at new Extinction being a wave-based multiplayer battle against aliens insurgents. It's believed Extinction is to be Infinity Ward's answer to Treyarch's Zombies.
More details on Extinction are expected to come soon, as Activision has typically followed up teases such as this with more concrete information shortly thereafter. With Call of Duty: Ghosts set to launch on Nov. 5, there's not much time to drop any new information, so we'll likely learn more about Extinction in the coming week.
Additionally, the full list of maps and modes from multiplayer have reportedly leaked, too. Including the pre-order incentive Free Fall map, Ghosts will supposedly arrive with 15 maps at launch. According to VG247, a few copies of the shooter have already found their way into the wild, giving players opportunity to leak previously unknown details. You can check out a comprehensive list of the maps and modes available below.
- Chasm
- Flooded
- Free Fall (Bonus Map)
- Freight
- Octane
- Overload
- Prison Break

Yes, you can actually hear it. Respect. There it is, in the very first track on the new Camera album, a little sound signature elegantly woven into the hypnotic maelstrom of the music, contiguous to "From the Outside"—like a distant echo—Kraftwerk's revered "Autobahn". Which brings us directly to Krautrock, that perennial badge of hipness. The ultimate honorary title for repetitive music, as played by Camera. In fact, the Berlin band's penchant for playing without permission in underground stations or other public places (in the gents at the Echo awards ceremony) has seen them dubbed "Krautrock Guerilla". Nevertheless, Camera are not seeking to emulate the sound of older Krautrock bands, in any case. Nor have they been listening incessantly to NEU! or Can. The band does not even imitate itself. One hears a hypnotic beat. A musical drift that sweeps the listener into a trance. Shimmering elegance, forceful bursts of garage rock, a gentle flow, spherical flight. And one can hear it resonate beyond the horizon of this music. Searching, researching, yearning. Camera have the resolve to search and explore—listen to "Hallraum", for example, the closing track on their new album—they have an appetite for beauty, to play around with it a little. You can still call it Krautrock, if you must.

text: So far in this section we have artificially excluded the effects of stimulated recombination (by manually setting the rates to zero when calculating total recombination). We illustrate the effect of relaxing this condition in figure 16, which is the equivalent of figure 9 (recombination rates vs. density) but with stimulated recombination included. Again the ionizing spectrum is a power law, which has strong flux at the lowest photon energies. Comparison of figures 16 and 9 shows that the rates are greatly enhanced at high densities, and this enhancement is greatest for ions with lowest ionization potentials. This is due to the influence of the low energy photons on the stimulated recombination rate, and a different spectral shape (e.g. a blackbody) would produce a different distribution of recombination with charge state at high densities.

Limbaugh Rewrites His History Of Attacks On Michael J. Fox, Gets Fox's New Remarks Wrong
Back in 2006, Rush Limbaugh responded to an ad that actor Michael J. Fox had made, in which he endorsed Missouri Senate candidate Claire McCaskill over her support for embryonic stem cell research, by accusing him [1] of "exaggerating the effects of [Parkinson's] disease." Limbaugh also claimed "either he didn't take his medication or he's acting," mimicked Fox's tremors, and falsely accused [2] the actor of doing ads only for Democrats. Limbaugh later apologized -- then suggested [3] Fox had deliberately taken too much medication to induce the tremors displayed in the ad.
Limbaugh waded back into that controversy again on his May 24 radio show -- this time by getting Fox's latest remarks wrong and minimizing his own role in attacking Fox in 2006.
Limbaugh cited an article [4] at the anti-abortion website LifeNews to claim that Fox, in Limbaugh's words, "is admitting that stem cells -- nothing to him. Right here, I have it, LifeNews.com, Michael J. Fox admits embryonic stem cells likely will not cure him." Limbaugh insisted that this proves his earlier claim [5] that embryonic stem cell research "was not even about curing Parkinson's or Alzheimers" but "a way to promote abortion."
In fact, not only did Fox not specifically reference embryonic stem cell research in his recent comments -- adult stem cells are a different avenue of research -- but he didn't say that there was "nothing" to it. Fox said that stem cell research is "part of a broad portfolio of things that we look at," other avenues of research have become "as much or more promising," and that he's "glad" to have promoted stem cell research in the face of those who tried to shut it down for "ideological reasons."
From a May 18 ABC interview [6] with Fox:
DIANE SAWYER (host): Our colleagues at Yahoo say that they're getting a lot of questions about stem cell research and whether this is the promise, this is the future.
FOX : Well, certainly stem cell is an avenue of research that we've pursued and continue to pursue, but as -- it's part of a broad portfolio of things that we look at. There's been some issues with stem cells, some problems along the way, although there's work continuing at places like Sloan-Kettering, they're doing some good work. But I would say that it's not so much that it's diminished in its prospects for breakthroughs as much as it's the other avenues of research have grown and multiplied and become as much or more promising. So, an answer may come from stem cell research, but it's more than likely to come from another area, and we're continuing those.
SAWYER: There may be a secret in it, we're just not there yet. We haven't found the secret.
FOX: Yeah. I'm glad I put the effort into promoting it, into -- I mean, really, my quest in that regard was really about research freedom and not shutting down avenues of research because of ideological reasons that were countered by the majority's opinion of whether it was worthwhile doing so. Hopefully, stem cell will result in something. I'm glad we pursued it, I'm glad we fought for the right to do it. But there's other areas too that we're pursuing.
SAWYER: So the whole thing is to be able to ask the questions -
FOX: Yeah.
SAWYER: -- and not have anything foreclosed from asking the questions.
FOX: Yeah. It really is tough when you respect the other side's opinion and you want to hear it, and you sit down and you say, "Tell me, tell me what your issues are," and then you counter it with an argument that's supported by two-thirds of the country. And so there's got to be some weight given to that too.
Limbaugh returned to the subject later in his show, repeating his misleading claim that Fox said there was "nothing there" on embryonic stem cell research -- ignoring the simple point that one has to actually do the research to find out if something will work or not -- going on to call the embryonic stem cell debate "phony." He then went about rewriting his own history on the issue:
LIMBAUGH: Remember the grief I took? Michael J. Fox entered the political arena by doing commercials for this, and I was critical, and you can't be critical -- it's not nice to be critical of somebody suffering this disease. Well, wait a minute now. Once you enter the political area, you don't -- you're not inoculated from criticism. That was my point. But, of course, Michael J. Fox was inoculated -- that was the whole reason for using him, so he couldn't be criticized, and I didn't get the memo. No, I got the memo, I just ignored it.
As noted above, Limbaugh did much more than "criticize" Fox -- he baselessly accused Fox of manipulating his symptoms for the camera and mockingly mimicked his tremors.
In the final segment of his show, Limbaugh noted Fox's response to Limbaugh's attacks -- Fox said, "It only sharpens your resolve" -- and added his own creative interpretation: "He's basically saying I make people better, which we all know to be the case."

text: High densities also affect the absorption and emission spectra of photoionized plasmas. Figure 14 shows a comparison of a warm absorber spectrum at densities of 10 cm (panel a) and 10 cm (panel b) due to oxygen in the 0.5-1 keV energy range. The ionization parameter is log()=2 and the temperature is 10K. In the high density case there is a prominent absorption structure near 0.65 keV, associated with resonances in the photoionization cross sections from the 1s2s configurations in OVII. These resonances are apparent in the cross sections shown in figure 2, and they appear in opacity due to the build-up of excited level populations at high densitiies. Such features are potentially observable in the spectra of astrophysical X-ray sources such as the partially ionized absorbers associated with Seyfert galaxies (e.g. [George et al. 1998]) if these objects contain gas at densities comparable to those considered here.

Vatican City, Oct 24, 2012 / 09:09 am (CNA/EWTN News).- At today's general audience, Pope Benedict XVI announced he will appoint six new cardinals, including an American, at a consistory that will be held Nov. 24.
"I invite everyone to pray for the newly elected, asking the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that they will always love with courage and dedication to Christ and his Church," the Holy Father said in a St. Peter's Square, which was teeming with pilgrims and visitors, many who came to Rome for Sunday's canonization of seven new saints.
The cardinals-elect are: Archbishop James M. Harvey, Prefect of the Papal Household; Bechara Boutros Raï, Maronite Patriarch of Antioch in Lebanon; Major Archbishop Baselios Cleemis Thottunkal of India, head of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church; Archbishop John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan of Abuja, Nigeria; Archbishop Ruben Salazar Gomez of Bogotá, Colombia; and Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle of Manila in the Philippines.
"The cardinals have the task of helping the Successor of Peter in carrying out his ministry of confirming the brethren in the faith, and that is the principle and foundation of unity and communion of the Church," the Pope noted.
The lone American is Archbishop Harvey of the titular see of Memphis, who was named Prefect of the Papal Household by Blessed John Paul II in 1998. Pope Benedict XVI said he plans to appoint the Milwaukee native, 63, Archpriest of the Papal Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.In his role as head of the Pope's household, he has what is considered one of the most important positions in the Vatican because he handles requests for meetings with the Pope and arranges his appearances.
This will be Pope Benedict's fifth consistory. After Nov. 24 he will have created 90 cardinals during his pontificate. That will bring the College of Cardinals up to 211. The 120 who are under 80 years of age will be eligible to vote in a conclave.
In a geographical breakdown of current cardinal-electors, Europe has 62, North America 14, South America 21, Africa and Asia both 11, and Oceania 3.
Corrected at 11:54 a.m. MST. Due to a reporting error, Archbishop Harvey's age was listed as 49 and it was said that he will remain the head of the Papal Household.

By GREG GARRISON
Religion News Service
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — After Auburn University's football win over Clemson last season, coach Gene Chizik declared, "It's a God thing."
After the national championship game win over the University of Oregon, he told a national TV audience, "God was with us."
Chizik sees the hand of God working in his life, even in the outcome of college football games.
"The faith part is what's really important in my life," Chizik said in a telephone interview from Maine, where he was spending time on a lake with his wife and three children. "That guides us and keeps us grounded as we navigate this crazy world of college football. If you win, everybody tells you how great you are, and you're probably not that great. If you lose everybody tells you how terrible you are, and you're probably not that terrible."
It sure looked like God was raining down miracles on Chizik the last two or three years. He was hired as Auburn's head coach in 2008 despite a 5-19 record in two seasons at Iowa State. Cam Newton arrived as a quarterback savior for the 2010 season, won the Heisman Trophy and helped Auburn win the national championship.
Chizik describes all of that in a newly released memoir, All In: What It Takes to Be the Best published by Tyndale House.
" All In is a story about football, family and faith," Chizik said.
"Those are three things that are important in my life."
In the 265-page book, written with sportswriter David Thomas of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Chizik writes how he didn't expect to get the Auburn job, and the wrenching emotions of leaving his recruits behind at Iowa State.
"That's something that just weighed on my heart so much it tore me up," Chizik said. "The guy you recruited, he's thinking, `You told me you'd be here.' Everything I told them, I told them with a pure and good heart. At the end of the day, you have to make decisions that are best for you and your family."
While Chizik was raised a Roman Catholic, his wife, Jonna, was raised a Methodist. While he worked at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, they began attending an evangelical church.
"It's a big part of who I've become," Chizik said, adding, "One of the things we don't do, we don't push anything on our young men when it comes to the message."
He does, however, try to mold them into morally responsible young men. "I was blessed to have a platform to influence young people."
Chizik doesn't spend much time writing about the controversy surrounding Newton's decision to come to Auburn, although he gives some anecdotes about how he tried to spur Newton into being a better player.
During the championship run it emerged that Newton's father, Cecil, a church pastor in Georgia, had tried to shop his son to Mississippi State University, requesting money from boosters for him to sign there.
The NCAA found no evidence of any impropriety in his recruitment to Auburn.
Chizik admits he had no idea how good Newton was going to be, nor how controversy over his recruitment would hang like a fog around the program as it rose to amazing heights.
"You don't know what a quarterback is going to respond like until you put him out there in front of 90,000 people," Chizik said. "We knew we had a very talented, athletic quarterback. How he's going to respond to those circumstances, you don't know. By game four, we knew what he could do."
Although Newton had a run-in with the law over a stolen laptop while he was Tim Tebow's backup at Florida, Chizik said he and his staff researched Newton's character and came away impressed.
"It became clear to us that this was a great kid," Chizik said. "If we were all judged based on mistakes we made when we were younger, a lot of us would be looking for work."
Cam Newton weathered the controversy without missing a game, completed a season for the ages and became the top pick in the NFL draft. Chizik said he remains committed to running a clean program and turning out men of moral character.
"It's all about educating players," Chizik said. "Ultimately, these guys have to make the right decisions for the program and their families. We tell them, `If you encounter something that doesn't look right, doesn't smell right, you need to turn and run."'
Chizik also said he's optimistic about defending the title next season.
"I feel good in terms of people," he said of the team. "We're into building this foundation for a long time. This is one brick in the foundation."
And, he added, the pressure to win hasn't lessened because of the national championship. "The pressure's always there to win," he said.
"The standards are always high."
Chizik sums up his philosophy on the final page of his memoir.
"Championship rings are nice, but they are nothing compared to what God promises for those who are all in for him."

text: SALISBURY — A New Jersey man died after falling from the deck of a Lake Dunmore Road home in Salisbury on Wednesday, Aug. 8. Police said Gerard K. Conroy, 50, of Bradley Branch, N.J. was visiting family members on Lake Dunmore when he fell from the deck of the home, dropping around 12 feet to the ground below. The ground consisted of brush and rock and Conroy suffered a head injury as a result of the fall, according to police. Conroy was found unresponsive. He was taken by the Middlebury Volunteer Ambulance Association to Porter Medical Center, where he died from his injuries, police said. No foul play is suspected, though alcohol might have been a factor, according to authorities. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause of death.

I have to say that after the events of this week and a busy weekend - I'm a little bit numb - but I've missed a couple of challenges lately, and I had a good excuse to make this one since we hosted my parents for dinner tonight. We don't cook for them too often, so we wanted to do something nice. They brought steaks, and I made an heirloom tomato salad and some corn - sort of a "last hurrah" of summer. For dessert, we had the bostinis.
I have never made boston cream pie before, but I have always thought it reminded me of a doughnut - with the thick chocolate glaze on the top and custard filling - or an eclair, possibly. Essentially it's a chiffon cake, flavored with a little bit of orange, layered with a custard cream and a chocolate glaze.
I baked my cake in a sheet pan, and cut the rounds out with a knife, which worked fairly well. I am glad I took it out of the oven when I did - one or two more minutes and it would have been dry. We were allowed to substitute in a couple of areas - I didn't have orange juice, but I used orange oil and a little lemon juice - making up the difference in the liquid with 1/2 a cup of milk, and I thought it had nice flavor. The custard was also really good. I used vanilla paste instead of the bean, and I improvised with a mixture of cream, half and half and nonfat milk to make up the whole milk and cream called for, since I could only get my hands on one pint of organic cream at the market and already had the half and half and nonfat milk at home. It worked just fine and I had LOTS left over. (Then again, I only served four and the recipe is for 8.)
The cake layers were about one inch thick, so to plate the dessert, I spooned some custard into the cups, added a layer of cake, more custard, another layer of cake, and the chocolate sauce. (Actually, my mom and I had only one layer - as you can see on the right - but we got the gist of it.) There was double the amount of custard that I needed, but I would have had a hard time getting enough cake out of the recipe to fill eight ramekins.
There was nothing wrong with this dessert, and the chocolate sauce, the cake and the custard were each great on their own, but I'm not sure the dessert was more than the sum of it's parts. In fact, it might have been less. The cake soaked up the liquids and became a bit soggy, and I wasn't crazy about the look of the chocolate poured straight onto the cake. Maybe if it were a bit thicker. James thought the chocolate was overwhelming and suggested the cake and custard would be better with some fresh fruit or berries. It was a LOT of trouble to make, and is one of those recipes that uses up nearly a dozen eggs - 9 yolks in the custard alone.
Regardless, I have nothing but love and respect for Mary, the kind and generous administrator of our Daring Bakers site and pro baker who selected this recipe for the challenge this month. At least it was something that could be completed in a single afternoon, which is more than I can say for some challenges. Not that involved baking projects are a bad thing, but when you're as short on time and concentration as I was today, less is definitely more!

Like many things today, it seems as though the cost of insurance is rising. Since all drivers are required to have insurance, more often than not they prefer cheap car insurance. When looking for affordable insurance, there are recommendations you can follow to find the very best coverage at the lowest rates.
Take Advantage of Membership Benefits
Being a member of certain organizations has its perks, including lower rates on insurance. Several memberships are particularly beneficial to drivers. These include AAA and AARP which offer significant discounts on auto insurance. Even membership in chambers of commerce or warehouse chains like Costco can save you money on insurance.
Manage Mileage
The less you drive your car, the better insurance rates you can get. This is because the chances of you becoming involved in an accident are reduced. You may even want to consider pay-as-you-drive insurance programs which track your mileage and bill you accordingly. Insurance companies are more than willing to give you reduced rates in exchange for being on the road less frequently.
Look for Discounts
It is possible to save over 50% on your insurance costs with discounts. All insurance companies offer discounts of some sort. The most common types include safe driver, good student, and senior discounts. But there are many more that your insurance provider offers. It is your responsibility to make sure you receive all discounts you are eligible to receive.
Consider Where You Live
Your location is a major factor when it comes to cost savings. Not only your actual neighborhood but also the state in which you live can impact your premiums. Certain states are simply cheaper. States with fewer people, such as North Dakota, offer some of the lowest insurance rates in the country. Living in states that are more populated, including Florida and New York, will result in higher premiums.
These are just some of the ways you can get cheap car insurance. It merely takes a little work on your part to compare policies offered by multiple insurance companies by requesting free quotes from all who provide cheap car insurance.

Production of Case IH Magnum tractors is temporarily suspended due to factory damage caused by yesterday's tornado in Mount Pleasant, WI.
"The plant is closed today pending roof repairs and water damage caused by internal sprinklers," according to Duane Nelson, Case IH Director of Communication.
Up to 110 mph winds ripped a 100x200 ft. hole in the roof of the factory and set off internal sprinklers. Nelson says that as of last night, electricity was out in 95% of the building and will not be resumed until water cleanup is complete.
Damage was most extensive in the parts depot and area where combine axles are made. Garage doors were blown off and one tractor was blown off a trailer.
Case IH hopes to resume production of its Magnum tractors as quickly as possible.
This footage from WITI-TV Fox6 shows the extent of the damage. http://www.fox6now.com/news/october-2010-wind-storm/witi-102610-case-plant-damage,0,4241641.story

It's no secret that early reviews of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was organised by Konami themselves by requiring reviewers from high-end media outlets to play the game for 8 supervised hour's solid for 4 days. I prefer playing at my leisure making sure I experience the game in its entirety before submitting my opinion hence why the review is here now.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is one of the most anticipated titles of the year and it's finally upon us. Big Boss wakes from a coma as a result of the closing events of Ground Zeroes only to find the hospital is under attack. The infamous Revolver Ocelot soon comes to Boss's rescue and after recovery, sends Boss out to rescue his old comrade Kazuhira Miller. They then devise a master plan to revitalise and build a new Mother Base to reap revenge on those who brought down Militaires Sans Frontieres. The plot goes deeper in true traditional Hideo Kojima style exploring a fair few close-to-the-bone storylines such as child trafficking but hey, films have gone there without backlash and besides, you're the guy who saves the day!
The surprising thing about the story is although the cut scenes are superbly created with second to none acting, Big Boss actually says very little in comparison to earlier titles. Most scenes just sees him stood there and talking more with his face and body language. It mildly frustrated me as Keifer Sutherland does a stellar job at playing the Boss. Luckily though, the supporting cast are just as much.
A sequence of masterfully designed missions make up the main body of the game. Rescue prisoners, take out armoured units or steal materials are but to name a few. The magic of The Phantom Pain is that it feels different every time. Yea you may be rescuing yet another unfortunate soul but getting to them may be easy or hard, there is no telling. The AI is unprecedented. Enemies act and react like I've never seen before in a game. Big Boss's posture makes all the difference here. Crouching may not be enough to hide but crawling along the grass like a 'Snake' is advised. Or you could use a cardboard box with a model poster on it to make them drool in front of you making CQC a cake walk.
CQC acts as it did in Peace Walker. You can grab an enemy then you have options as to what you can do with him. Interrogate him for information on mission objectives or blueprints or even where his buddies are located and afterwards choke him out or stick a knife in his throat. The choice is yours, make sure you hide the body though or they will go on alert which will certainly ruin your day. Or you could let your buddy do the work. Your starting D.Horse is only really useful for transportation but later you can unlock D.Dog who sniffs out enemies and can kill on demand or the infamous Quiet, a super assassin Sniper who can take out enemies quickly and even draw fire. The buddy system is a superb feature that is sometimes vital to success.
When it hits the fan, things get heated quickly and it's hard to escape it. Fight or flight certainly comes into play and gun play feels fantastic. There are so many options here too it's almost overwhelming. Use inflatable decoys, use grenades to blow them to kingdom come, call in your Chopper to help out or just simply hide it out, when the tension mounts, think fast or you could be mincemeat quickly.
Of the battlefield though, you can use your trusty iDroid to manage your organisation. Assign staff to different departments within Mother Base or build new ones. It's quick and easy, so much so you can do it in the middle of a fire fight. These new platforms on Mother Base unlock more development options and even can kit out your staff so they can defend your base in case it comes under attack. That's where FOB (Forward Operating Base) missions come in. Online, players can come to attack and steal your materials. You can come back to defend it yourself but if you are offline, you have to rely on your staff. Once they are defeated, you can seek revenge as the game informs you who attacked you. Really cool.
Beautiful vast world that's easy on the eye.
Big Boss is one tough SOB.
Diverse, interesting bosses.
Enemy AI is unprecedented.
Cut scenes are superbly created.
Tonnes of options to tackle missions.
People attacking your base can get annoying.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is possibly the best stealth open world game in existence and possibly the best action game in existence and possibly the best looking game in existence! I couldn't sing loud enough about it. Kojima's swansong is without doubt his finest work to date. It's so easy to lose yourself in its world and wage your own war, I love it and so will you! Kept you waiting huh? It was worth every minute!

Just got idea from this(may not be related though) question however.
Are the ISO images from the official site updated with updates in Core Ubuntu system , like Kernel Updates , desktop Environment Updates(unity), i mean Updates of BASE system including X-org, Office suite, Package Manager , Update manager or Gnome Base Modules, those released in update Branches like precise-Updates branch.
The reason i am asking this is , if i download the ISO image of Ubuntu 12.04 Say after two or three months from release , i have to do an update of approximately 200~300 MB's size.
So why are these ISO images not updated to recent updates, i am aware that all of the components are not updated at the same time , but let's say after One month from actual release ( Both LTS and normal releases), the updated components can be added to form a Updated ISO in regular intervals, which provides new users to use latest versions and features with improved stability and less bandwidth Consumption.
I am not mentioning the idea of comparison to Rolling Release , or External PPA's added updates , and neither Netinstal but the ISO of updated Packages .This can be provided as optional download.
Since my question is within the boundary of Official updates releases so stability could not be the reason. I guess there are custom packagers out there , but having an official option would be better.
It helps in distributing Newest ISO OS which impresses a lot new users , since it makes availability of newer features and a faster system ofcourse. Another reason of asking this is here.
Edit: Since almost all new (Desktop) users download the Default ISO's having one or few issue , which may have been corrected in following updates. But most of new laptop users i encountered gave up because of it , so should i suggest ,for laptop not listed on Certified H/W list , to try daily Builds , if needed.

It's not so hard to figure out how to fix Social Security. Plenty of analysts have arrived at ways to keep the nation's most successful government program from running short on money in 20 years. Many different combinations of policy tweaks would do the trick.
Trouble is, knowledge of how to fix something and the political will to go ahead with it are vastly different. Can a Congress that fights nearly to national default over raising the debt ceiling really accomplish something as long-range as making Social Security solvent?
Probably not. Members of the congressional commission charged with putting together a budget deal by Dec. 13 have been telling the nation not to expect a "grand bargain" — the kind of deal that President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner tried and failed to forge a couple of years ago.
That sort of bargain was supposed to incorporate long-term deficit reduction while putting big-money programs such as Social Security and Medicare on sounder footing.
But the effort fell apart, and the budget commission is looking to play small ball — just a budget deal that gets us past the next recurring crisis and on to the one after that.
That's fine. No one really thinks Congress is capable of passing an all-encompassing package right now. Commissions that have tried — Simpson-Bowles, Domenici-Rivlin — find their work product gathering dust on some of the best shelves of Washington, D.C.
But Social Security doesn't have to be part of a grand bargain. In fact, it's best fixed as a standalone program. After all, it's self-funded through a payroll tax — the problem being that the growth in retirees collecting benefits will far outstrip the growth of workers on payrolls in coming decades.
The right solution for making Social Security solvent would spring more from arithmetic and actuarial tables than from political ideology. It would lessen U.S. debt and make reaching other budget deals less daunting.
So we'll give it a shot.
Next Sunday, we'll suggest the approach that seems to the editorial board most practical, fair and perhaps even doable.
Today, we're stipulating some of the principles and viewpoints that will guide a suggested fix:
• First, Social Security is fundamentally a good thing. It keeps our old people without great personal resources from rummaging through Dumpsters and eating cat food.
And the program is not making old-timers rich. The average benefit is less than $15,000 a year, and about a quarter of elderly recipients have no other source of income.
• We should not allow Social Security to start going broke in 2033, when, according to projections, it would have only about 77 percent of what it should pay out that year. A 23 percent cut in benefits would wallop those who depend on Social Security for a modest life of some dignity.
• We should preserve Social Security for the long haul. Today's workers in their 20s or 30s should not feel as though they're helping to support today's retirees but that the program will not be there to help them when they reach retirement age. Let's make Social Security solvent for 75 years, at least.
• Making Social Security solvent through tax hikes only, or through benefits cuts only, is no way to go. The former would slow economic growth and siphon off too much tax revenue that should go to infrastructure, defense and other ongoing public services. The later would break the promise we've made to provide a safety net for our elderly. Social Security will not be made solvent unless benefits are trimmed and more revenues — taxes — are raised.
• Overall, the changes in payroll taxes and benefits should be progressive in nature, meaning those who are well off should give up more than those for whom Social Security functions as a true safety net — those people who are getting by on $15,000 a year or less, and don't have significant other resources.
• The sooner actions are taken, the more modest they can be — and still do the trick.
Why are we dealing with Social Security but not with Medicare, you might be wondering. Social Security is reasonably easy to fix. Medicare's looming insolvency is a big, hot mess, and its solution beyond our ken. We're not sure anyone can fix Medicare, in fact, so we'll stick to what's doable — and what we can grasp.
Next week: A way to fix Social Security for the long haul.

New evidence suggests that Microsoft will not have a new version of Office ready in time for the anticipated launch of Windows 8 this fall.
Today, a Microsoft partner posted screenshots of several Microsoft product roadmaps on Twitter, and Mary Jo Foley reposted them on ZDNet.
According to those roadmaps, Office 15 (a codename) is due for general availability January 2013.
By all accounts, Microsoft is expecting partners to ship the first Windows 8 tablets this fall, in time for the holiday season.
The gap probably won't affect Office sales to larger businesses, which is where Office makes most of its money.
Most large businesses don't run out and buy new PCs when a new version of Windows is released anyway. Also, larger businesses tend to buy Office on long-term license contracts, then upgrade whenever they're ready. A gap of a few months won't affect their plans.
But the gap could delay sales among consumers who are looking for a new portable device they can use for work and home. Being able to use a touch-enabled version of Office is one of the few obvious benefits of buying a Windows tablet instead of an iPad.
Microsoft might offer some kind of guarantee program, so people who buy a tablet with Office 2010 this fall get a free upgrade to Office 15 when it comes out.
But even so -- it's a lot more compelling if people can walk into a store, check out a tablet with a touch-optimized version of Office, and walk out with it. That's probably not going to happen until 2013.
Note that Microsoft has not officially announced release dates for either product, so perhaps Office 15 will actually come out this fall -- although it would be almost unprecedented for a product to ship SOONER than Microsoft's internal roadmaps predict.
Or perhaps Windows 8 will be later than expected, and miss the holiday season altogether. That would give the iPad yet another holiday to build on its already huge lead.

Lessons from Recyclemania
The final results from Recyclemania are in. For those of you who haven't been following the blog, Recyclemania is a nationwide recycling competition with 605 participating colleges and universities. Haverford ended up 26th out of 320 schools in the Per Capita recycling division, while it finished 170th out of 605 in the Grand Champion division, which measures the percent of total waste recycled. If you are interested, the final results can be found here.
While I originally praised our recycling efforts, I am not so sure that our high ranking in the per capita classic is such a good thing. In fact, our high ranking seems to show that that we use more disposable items than most colleges. Moreover, according to the grand champion data, we recycle approximately 25% of our total waste. American University, the winner of the grand champion division, recycles 85% of their total waste.
There are some valuable lessons to learn from these results. First, we need to consume less. Our per capita recycling is high because we use a lot of items that we then throw in the recycling. While this impulse is a good one, we need to focus more of our energy on reducing and reusing. Recycling should be a last resort. Second, we need to recycle more and throw out less. If other colleges can recycle a majority of their total waste, we can too.
In the end, recyclemania has served its purpose. It shows us where we need to improve to make our campus for eco-friendly. Thoughts on how we can make this happen?

Let's make a deal isn't a game show -- it's a con game -- in John Grisham's latest legal thriller.
And if all goes according to plan, The Racketeer's Malcolm Bannister is going to game his way out of a federal prison camp in Frostburg, Md.
Halfway through a 10-year term for a crime he did not commit, Bannister, 43, a former attorney for an African -American law firm in Winchester, Va., may have hit the jackpot when it comes to holding all the cards.
A federal judge and his mistress have been found murdered in an isolated mountain cabin. Their bodies are discovered in the basement near a behemoth-sized safe that's now empty.
Investigators have no idea who committed the crimes but Bannister does -- and he knows what was in the safe. He'll tell all if the feds let him walk free.
But as in any decent thriller, that's not all there is to the story. The wrongly convicted Bannister may start out looking like a patsy but he's got more leverage, more tactical skills and employs more strategic thinking than the FBI can muster as they consider giving him a deal.
The best thing about The Racketeer comes, in part, from an appreciation for the time and calculated thinking that Grisham, the author of more than a dozen legal thrillers, has invested in his clever, twisty plot. You know something big is going on, you just can't fathom what it is.
Few people, if any, will figure out what Bannister is really up to until Grisham neatly ties it up with a bow in the closing pages. And the clues, schemes and conspiracies, more colorful than the gaudiest prison jumpsuit, feed a story line that gets additional octane from drugs, bribery, sex, corruption and one of Grisham's favorite plot threads, corporate greed.
This is the kind of story that built Grisham's reputation as a lion of the literary thriller. The Racketeer is guilty of only one thing: keeping us engaged until the very last page.

Don't tell anyone, but Massachusetts is kind of a big nerd. We simply love science and nature. You could say it's in our nature, with scenic roads like the lovely Mohawk Trail, 1500 miles of postcard pretty coastline, and some of America's most brilliant fall foliage. We could spend hours at the Museum of Science, the Harvard Museum of Natural History, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and wish we could live at the Franklin Park Zoo or maybe the Butterfly Place, surrounded by colorful creatures. And don't even get us started on the New England Aquarium, fully renovated in 2013.

We'd like to honor each and every SysAdmin out there laboring in the networks, armpit deep in Cat5, fending off feral lusers, and maintaining that small black box with a flashing red light called The Internet. We salute you, SysAdmin heroes and heroines far and wide!
Now, to unveil the winners of our SysAdmin Survival Pack.
First, a thank you to our nominators, without whom we wouldn't have heard the harrowing tales of our esteemed SysAdmin nominees. May your your emails arrive with attachments intact and your hard disks be free of malware henceforth.
It wasn't easy to randomly throw darts--er, carefully choose the 10 nominees selected for public praise and voting. We hope that all the nominees get the respect they deserve today, but especially our winner, chosen by popular vote:
SysAdmin King Daniel O., Director of IT, in Fresno, CA, who wins a Steampunk cork pop gun and all this stuff
And his nominator Tracy B., who wins a $100 ThinkGeek gift certificate
The winning entry, written by Tracy:
"We work for a Boys & Girls Club, and Daniel is our sole IT person for 16 sites, and often has to deal with staff and volunteers who are clueless on how computers operate. "Oh, it needs to be turned on for the printer to be used by other people?" or "My computer died, and I forgot that you told me I needed to back up my files. Is there someway that I can get that document back?" Since we're a non-profit, we get donated doorstops by people who've upgraded their systems, and think they're doing a wonderful thing by giving us something that still uses Windows 95. Somehow, he's been able to integrate everything, keep it all running and still teach kids how to properly navigate the internet. I realize that we're small potatoes compared to others, but to several thousand kids who use our computer rooms on a daily basis, Danny's dedication and devotion to technology is something we depend on...and often, underappreciate."
Runners-up each receiving a $50 gift certificate:
1. Jeff L., The (Not So Social) Systems Administrator, in College Station, TX
2. Devon M., SysAdmin, QA, Technology Go-To Guy, in Chicago, IL
Random $30 gift certificate-winning voter: wolfdragoons24
Congratulations, winners! We'll be in touch via email soon.
So happy SysAdmin Day, geeks. We leave you with this epic story submitted by Indigo Dreams:
"Early in the day on April 1st, I noticed that the ubiquitous Rick Roll video was playing on our website, and I thought, "we got hacked!" I started drafting an email to clients while an engineer tried to go in and disable our servers... and he was blocked.
There was a little panic. Our head engineer called up Greg, our SysAdmin, and asked him to go manually unplug the servers. A little later, we got a call from Greg. He said there were cops at the data center because someone was inside with a gun. We heard shots in the background, and Greg said that he had to go, and hung up.
We did the only logical thing in this situation: we called 911. Greg called back, and we told him we called the cops and then had to get off of the phone because 911 was calling back.
While talking to 911, our CEO finally called back, and as it turns out, the ENTIRE thing was a ruse. The video was only playing locally on our IP. The guys were blocked out to keep them from discovering that. Greg was never at the data center--he was at his computer at home with sound effects.
But we had actually called the cops! As it turns out, they sent five squads to the data center. When they found out it was a prank, they paid a visit to our good old SysAdmin at home. He didn't get in trouble in the end, but the cops did ask him what he expected to happen given the situation, and suggested something a little more "low-key" next time.

While Jersey Shore star Snooki has admitted she developed feelings for her costar Vinny Guadagnino following their hook ups on the show, Vinny is now making it clear those feelings are not reciprocated.
In a new interview with Life & Style magazine, Vinny states that Snooki is not his type. "Living together forces me to sometimes stumble into her bed," said Vinny. "But she's not my type physically. But if I [saw her] out in a club, I probably wouldn't go there." Ouch.
In other Shore news, it seems The Situation is making plans post Jersey Shore as he hints the yet to be filmed 4th season of the show might be his last. The Sitch reveals he plans on remaining on TV for "another year or so" before moving on. "Hopefully by the end of the year I'll be in a movie," The Situation, 28, told E! News.
"It's like Michael Jordan," he said, and yes he's comparing himself to Jordan. "There's only so long you can keep winning them rings. There's only so long you can rule the reality world."
Though as of the moment, the DWTS alum is solely focused on filming season 4 of Jersey Shore in Italy. "I'm actually gonna get me some Rosetta Stone" to learn Italian, he says. "I got two months to learn it. My name comes from Italy so I've got a little bit of heritage there. Plus, maybe I can get a hometown Italian chick." Nice to see The Sitch is always planning ahead.

Boehner draws line in sequester sand
Just two days before the sequester is set to take effect, House Speaker John Boehner will reject closing tax loopholes outside of a comprehensive rewrite of the Tax Code — the central tenet of President Barack Obama's plan to blunt the automatic spending cuts known as the sequester.
"Higher tax rates are not the answers to our problems," Boehner said in a speech Tuesday to the Credit Union National Association, according to prepared remarks. "Spending is the problem, and spending cuts are the solution. Yes, we should close loopholes, but we should do it as part of tax reform that lowers rates and helps create jobs. And again, this should be one of Washington's highest priorities."
Story Continued Below
The comments reinforce the stalemate in the fight to blunt $85 billion in across-the-board cuts set to take effect on March 1. Both sides were in a holding pattern, with the speaker insisting that raising revenue cannot be part of any solution and President Barack Obama advocating a mix of tax hikes and spending cuts. Boehner reiterating that Obama's plan is a non-starter is not a hopeful sign.
(PHOTOS: What they're saying about sequestration)
By reiterating his hard-line stance on taxes, Boehner is making it even harder for the two parties to reach a deal before March 1, when the $85 billion, across-the-board cuts will take effect.
But Boehner is showing support for rewriting the tax code this Congress — whether the speaker wanted to overhaul it has become one of the top parlor games in town.
GOP aides, in various forums, have cast doubt about whether the Ohio Republican is in favor of the hefty undertaking, because of how difficult it would be to find common ground with the Democratic-controlled Senate.
(Also on POLITICO: Boehner: Senators should get "off their ass")
But with the debate over the sequester raging, Boehner said that "fixing" the tax code "is one of my highest legislative priorities for this Congress."
"Dave Camp, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, is continuing a thoughtful and thorough review of the tax code with an eye on tax reform and I fully support his work," Boehner said, according to remarks passed along by a source. "It's time we shift the balance of power from the tax collector to the taxpayer."
Camp (R-Mich.) has been forging ahead with plans for tax reform, organizing groups of lawmakers to dig into different preferences in the code.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama flew to Newport News, Va., on Tuesday to decry the cuts in a part of the state that is heavy with military spending and servicemen and women.
( WATCH: Team Obama drives home sequester messaging)
"These cuts are wrong," Obama said while standing in front of a three-story aircraft carrier propeller. "They're not smart, they're not fair, they are a self-inflicted wound that doesn't have to happen."
Obama flew on Air Force One to Virginia with Rep. Scott Rigell (R-Va.) , and praised the congressman for being willing to consider new tax revenue as part of sequester replacement plan.

Ice bucket challenge goes awry, firefighters hurt
CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - A charity stunt that has grown into a social media phenomenon went terribly wrong for four Kentucky firefighters who were injured when a fire truck's ladder got too close to a power line after they dumped water on college students who were taking part in an "ice bucket challenge."
Campbellsville Police Chief Tim Hazlette says the power line wasn't touched, but it carried such a high voltage that it was able to energize the ladder truck, shocking the firefighters.
He says the two in the bucket are at a hospital burn unit. One is in critical condition and the other is in fair condition. The other firefighters were treated and released.
The firefighters had just taken part in the challenge that helps raise money for ALS research. They dumped water on Campbellsville University's marching band.

SANTA CLARA — Not even Michael Crabtree's celebrated arrival nor back-to-back wins can silence all the critics of the 49ers offense.
"Like my dad was asking, 'Why didn't you run the ball better at the end of the game?' " coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday.
While their passing game came alive in Sunday's 23-13 win over the St. Louis Rams, the 49ers rushing attack struggled for a third consecutive game.
Perhaps that's why the 49ers (8-4) don't seem in total sync entering Sunday's home game against the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks.
Frank Gore voiced his displeasure postgame about the rushing attack's downward trend, as evidenced by his production the past three games: 48, 31 and 42 yards. It's his lowest three-game total since 2005, when he was a rookie backup.
Gore has played through an ankle injury in recent weeks, but Harbaugh said that ailment hasn't been a visible factor in games.
As usual, defenses are aware of the 49ers' run-oriented style and stack the line of scrimmage, to which Gore said Sunday: "I don't care. We've still got to get it done."
They had to get past the Rams without their two Pro Bowl linemen: left guard Mike Iupati missed a second straight game with a sprained left knee, and left tackle Joe Staley exited in the first series with a sprained right knee.
Iupati might return to face the Seahawks, but Staley probably will miss his first game since the 2010 season. Both were to undergo further medical tests Monday.
Gore averaged only 2.8 yards Sunday (15 carries, 42 yards), and the 49ers failed to eclipse the 100-yard rushing mark for a third straight game.
Once they gained a 23-6 lead, the 49ers tried to run time off the clock, but there wasn't much running room in their final three series, and they failed to produce a first down on their own.
Gore got stopped for no gain on his final carry before giving way to Anthony Dixon (eight carries, 13 yards) and Kendall Hunter (three carries, 7 yards).
"Some things were muddying the run game, and we didn't get it clicking as we liked," Harbaugh said. "They did a good job stopping the run. We countered with the pass, and that was effective."
Colin Kaepernick passed for 275 yards — his most since the season opener — and again focused on Anquan Boldin (nine receptions, 98 yards) and Vernon Davis (four catches, 82 yards, one touchdown).
"It was a good day in the passing game, and it needed to be," Harbaugh said.
A welcome addition to that offensive mix was Crabtree, who tore his right Achilles just over six months ago. He had two receptions, but one went for 60 yards down the right sideline.
"He did a very good job," Harbaugh said of Crabtree. "He was really into the game. He wanted the ball. He got it and made things happen."
Harbaugh wasn't about to reverse course and say the next game isn't the biggest of the season. It always is, each week, under his reign. Now it's Seahawks Week, and the hype is under way.
"I guess you could make the societal argument we put too much emphasis on these games," Harbaugh said. "I don't know about the rest of society, but I know we do."

"Parks and Recreation." Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) is married! Again! What can it mean? Well, for last week's season premiere it meant a double episode including a trip to London that was among the best the show has aired. Andy (Chris Pratt) met his sweet and goofy match in a wealthy nobleman and philanthropist who hired him for a three-month gig, which means April (Aubrey Plaza) will be on her own for a while. Leslie (Amy Poehler), who went to London to accept an award in the hopes the citizens of Pawnee would stop trying to recall her, has returned with her spine and spunk back.
Despite chronic worry over viewership, the writers refuse to abandon their signature choice of wit over cheap laughs and cheek over snark. This show should be a big fat hit, because it's one of the best comedies on TV. NBC, Thursdays, 8 p.m.
FALL TV 2013: Watch the trailers
"Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight." You would be forgiven for thinking that the event of the title occurred in a boxing ring, or even the media. But Stephen Frears' documentary is instead a behind-the-scenes look at Clay v. United States, in which the Supreme Court decided whether Cassius Clay, recently renamed Muhammad Ali, would go to jail for draft dodging. When he was drafted in 1967, Ali had recently become a Black Muslim, a religion, he claimed, that demanded he not participate in any war not directly ordered by Allah. Stripped of his title, kicked out of boxing and fined $10,000, he appealed his conviction all the way to the Supreme Court. There, eight justices (Thurgood Marshall recused himself because he had already adjudicated in an early portion of the case) debated the merits of the appeal as well as, in Frears' version, the tension between law and politics, racism and patriotism, power and personality. With Frank Langella as Chief Justice Warren Berger and Christopher Plummer as key player Justice John Harlan, "Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight" is a surprisingly small and subtle film that sometimes seems to ignore its central figure (Ali appears only in film clips), but is fascinating nonetheless. HBO, Saturday, 8 p.m.
"Revolution." The lights went on (at the end of last season) and then they went out again, leaving the tattered and certainly no longer united states of America even worse off than before. Atlanta and Philadelphia were horribly destroyed, for one thing, and our scrappy band of surivors dispersed to face a slew of perils on their own. Miles (Billy Burke) has been captured by a blood-draining, pedophile/cult leader, Charlie (Tracey Spiridakos) is still trying to kill Monroe (David Lyons) (no luck so far), Aaron (Zak Orth) has been raised from the dead, Tom (Giancarlo Esposito) is trying to kill the "president" and Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell) is, well, trying to not be crazy.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Backlot moments
More important, Season 3 has been salted with humorous cultural references -- the second episode was called "There Will Be Blood" and mentioned both "Ghostbusters" and "Walker: Texas Ranger." So while "Revolution" continues to take its apocalypse seriously, it's also having a bit more fun. NBC, Wednesays, 8 p.m.
"Homeland." Things got a little crazy at the end of Season 2 of Showtime's intense spy thriller, what with Langley being blown to bits and Carrie (Claire Danes) helping Brody (Damian Lewis) to escape. Not surprisingly, things stay a little crazy, albeit in a slightly calmer way. If that makes any sense, which it should to fans of "Homeland." Instantly distancing themselves from the love story that dominated much of Season 2, the writers choose to go at least two full episodes without even a glimpse of Brody. Bad for Lewis fans, good for the story, which seems to be settling into the story of two families -- the wife and two children Brody left behind and Carrie's competing fathers, her real one and her boss.
Months have passed, Saul (Mandy Patinkin) is now firmly entrenched as head of the CIA, though the CIA itself is less so; a Senate subcommittee is determined to get to the bottom of the bombing even if it means arresting every surviving member of the CIA, and possibly dissolving the agency. Needless to say, Carrie is testifying and it doesn't go well. Off her meds and struggling with Saul's new relationship with manipulative black ops genius Dar Adal (F. Murray Abraham), she whipsaws between hysteria and grim resolution. Over in the Brody household, Dana (Morgan Saylor) is also coming to terms with a father's betrayal. Every character is forced to turn and turn again -- Saul appears to be throwing Carrie under the bus; Carrie is now arguing Brody's innocence; Quinn (Peter Friend), who once saw Carrie as a liability, is now her biggest supporter. "You need to really slow things down so they don't become overwhelming," a counselor tells Dana early on, and it seems the writers are taking their own advice. Early episodes revisit old territory, claim some new and reconnect "Homeland" with its own fabulous spy vs. spy roots. Showtime, Sundays, 9 p.m.

"The Good Wife." Every fall, new shows come and go but "The Good Wife" is back for its fifth season to show them how it's done. Year after year, Michelle and Robert King deftly combine character study with legal procedural and add a dollop of family drama, all while showcasing one of the best ensembles in TV, not to mention a heady list of recurring guest stars. (The judges alone are worth watching for.) Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), a woman perpetually at a crossroads, seemed to imply in last season's finale that she was ready to strike out with former competitor, now colleague Carey Argos (Matt Czuchry). What will on-again/off-again boss/lover Will (Josh Charles) have to say to that? More important, what will Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) do? (Honestly, isn't that something we should ask ourselves in any situation -- what would Kalinda do?) Can't wait, don't have to much longer. CBS, Sundays, 9 p.m.
"Masters of Sex." Combine "Mad Men" with the film adaptation of "The Kinsey Report" and you have Showtime's new series in which Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan star as iconic sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson. Where Kinsey and his comrades studied the difference between attitudes and actions -- what Americans said they thought about sex was often at great odds with the acts they actually committed -- Masters was more interested in the physiology of the thing. What happens to the body, male and female, before, during and after sex. Against everyone's better judgment, he began to do research, first observing and interviewing prostitutes. A bit of a cold fish, especially given his work, Masters quickly realized he would need a woman to help grow his study group; he hired Johnson, a single mother with modern views about sex, as a secretary but she quickly became his partner.
There is a lot of sex, obviously, in "Masters of Sex," though much of it is research-oriented and a bit creepy, but that is not the point. As Masters keeps arguing with those who accuse him of pornography, knowledge is the point, and slowly we see how biology can be destiny -- growing understanding of sexuality fueled the sexual and women's liberation movements. Sheen is something of a chameleon, though the repressed scientist doesn't sit quite comfortably on him -- we keep waiting for the grin we know is lurking in there somewhere. Caplan, on the other hand, is a marvel, creating a dishy, dignified and thoroughly modern woman who winds up helping millions to become something similar. Showtime, Sundays, 10 p.m.

I remain silent, but make no pretence to praying. On the other hand, the overwhelming majority of my family is atheists (I corrupted them all).
this is what i do too. not much opportunity for me either, due to almost no existing family.
I"ve done that too.
"And, I think it is plain silly to pray to something that isn't there."
I volunteer at a local soup kitchen, working along side many from local religious organizations, and they always have a prayer before we serve. I just stir the soup.
At family/work functions (why are we having prayer at work?) I just look straight ahead and keep as quiet as possible.
Good Q about why are they having prayer at work. I think that's a path to discrimination and potential harassment.
Checked ESPN on your phone? While prayer time is usually a silent moment, I don't think that would prevent my wife from throwing a lamp at me if I pulled that stunt. I took a newspaper in with me once while accompanying my wife to mass and still haven't heard the last of it.
I sit/stand quietly with my hands folded, eyes open as a show of respect for the beliefs of those around me. I may not believe as they do but I have no intention of being obnoxious about it. I live with these people and if I want respect for my beliefs I suppose I had better have respect for theirs.
If I knew there would be a prayer at work or some other event I'd try to figure out how to be busy elsewhere.
Ha! I'm sure my wife would do the same. I agree in showing respect for the beliefs of loved ones, just as long as they don't give me any grief about not joining in.

You gotta hand it to academia, specifically the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Ideas that spring from within the halls of ivy seldom cross minds outside.
In the university�s politically correct world, there are no more �freshmen� starting their college careers. Only �first-year students.�
What now of �seniors?�
Usurped by the AARP? Sound too much like age discrimination?
Does �junior� relegate to secondary status one more than half way to the finish line? Surely that could damage the delicate psyche of a third-year �person.�
And �sophomore.� So appropriate for the self-assuredness that comes with a year on campus behind. �Second-year student� just doesn�t have the same ring, especially when applied elsewhere in our language.
�Stop it with those practical jokes,� the boss said. �They�re sooooo second-year-student-ish!�
It�s doubtful that time-honored terms for students, regardless of gender, amount to a hill of beans to the bright youngsters entering the university. They�re more interested in whether that Monday class meets at 8 a.m. or 10 and how to get tickets to the game.
And parents footing the bill for their kids, whether at the university for one, two, three, four or more years, care most about this label � �graduate.�
We�re all for equal opportunity for women, but we rather doubt that throwing this bone to the newest female Tar Heel will do much to open doors. Time devoted to such nuances would be better spent providing the tools that equip all students for their future success.
Sending �freshman� the way of the beanie is nothing more than political grandstanding by state-paid �people� who obviously have too much time on their hands.

Vice Admiral Sir Francis Drake c1540-1596
The greatest sailor of his generation, the navigator Francis Drake was famous in his own lifetime. He first went to sea aged 13, an apprentice on a small trading ship. The master left the ship to Drake who sold it and sailed with his cousin Sir John Hawkins. Hawkins and Drake made the first English slave-trading expeditions.
The dream of French and English privateers in the sixteenth century was to capture Spanish silver mined in the Andes and then transported back to Spain. The most vulnerable part of the journey was crossing the isthmus of Panama in Central America. It was here with the help of the cimarrones, escaped slaves who fought the Spanish, that Drake ambushed a treasure train in February 1573. He returned to England a wealthy man.
In 1577 Drake was commissioned to circumnavigate the globe, Queen Elizabeth being among the sponsors of the expedition. On the three year voyage aboard the Golden Hind Drake sailed through the Straits of Megallan into the Pacific. Here he raided Spanish treasure ships before proceeding up the coast of the Americas and landed in what is now California naming it Nova Albion (New England). Turning west across the Pacific, Drake visited the East Indies and loaded his ship with spices before returning to England via the Cape of Good Hope.
Drake's feat of navigation was extraordinary. Only one man, Magellan, had ever circumnavigated the globe before and he had not lived to tell the tale. The expedition captured an estimated £600,000 worth of booty and demonstrated the wealth and vulnerability of the Spanish empire. The Queen's share of £300,000 was more than the crown's income for a whole year.
War broke out with Spain in 1585. Drake sailed for the West Indies and stormed the Spanish cities of Santa Domingo and Cartegena. On the way back to England Drake captured the Spanish fort of San Agustín in Florida. As a result of these attacks King Philip II of Spain ordered planning to begin for an invasion of England.
The following year Drake famously 'singed the King of Spain's beard' when he boldly sailed a fleet into Cadiz, one of Spain's main ports, occupied the town for three days and destroyed 26 enemy ships as well as a large quantity of stores. This attack delayed the Spanish invasion by a year.
When the Spanish Armada was sighted on 19 July 1588 Drake was playing a game of bowls on Plymouth Hoe. Legend has it that he finished the game boarding the Revenge. As the English fleet pursued the Armada up the Channel, Drake captured the Spanish galleon Rosario causing confusion in the English fleet in the process. He was also present at the Battle of Gravelines off Calais on 30 July 1588.
Under orders from the Queen to destroy the remains of the Armada, Drake led an unsuccessful expedition in 1589. After destroying a few Spanish ships in Corunna, Drake and Sir John Norris, commanding the troops, decided to excite a popular uprising in Portugal. An attack on Lisbon failed and with no Portuguese support the expedition returned to England empty handed. The Queen was furious and Drake was in disgrace.
Drake undertook a further privateering expedition to the West Indies in company with Hawkins. He died of yellow fever at Puerto Bello in Panama in 1596.

Automatic Pipeline Synthesis from Transactional Datapath Specifications
Tuesday Sept. 14, 2010
Hamerschlag Hall D-210
4:00 pm
Eriko Nurvitadhi
Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept., Carnegie Mellon University
Pipelining is a classic and widely used microarchitectural performance optimization. Pipelining is often necessary to meet performance targets and improve efficiency. For example, in the instruction processor market, the majority of commercial processors are pipelined, with forwarding and speculation support.
Unfortunately, pipelining a datapath by hand is tedious and error prone, as it requires the designer to reason about subtle corner cases when sequentially dependent operations are processed concurrently by different pipeline stages. Adding pipeline optimizations such as forwarding and speculation further exacerbates the problem.
This talk will present the transactional datapath specification (T-spec) and the technology (T-piper) to synthesize automatically an in-order pipelined implementation from it. T-spec abstractly views a datapath as executing one transaction at a time, computing next system states based on current ones. From a T-spec, T-piper can synthesize a pipelined implementation that preserves the original transactional semantics, while allowing concurrent execution of multiple overlapped transactions across pipeline stages. Furthermore, T-piper supports the commonly used forwarding and speculation pipeline optimizations.
We have made T-piper available online at www.t-piper.net. The talk will include a brief demonstration of automatic pipelining using this online version of T-piper. Finally, we will also present the results from case studies in applying T-spec and T-piper in MIPS and x86 processor pipeline development.
Eriko Nurvitadhi is currently a PhD candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. James C. Hoe. He received BSs, BA, MS, and MBA degrees from Oregon State University. His research interests include microarchitecture design automation and FPGA-based emulation..

Door Design. Friday , November 03rd , 2017 - 14:06:13 PM
Quote from Ultimate Guide to Door Chime and Doorbells :
The door chime and doorbells now are all standard in any modern home—they even make their way to become an indispensable part. The door chime sound is the one that announces the arrival of your guests, alerting you to the presence of family and friends… or even the mailman delivering a package you ordered online days before. Before electricity, no door chime alert was heard, only the sound coming from the door knockers. Today, we will provide a brief guideline to doorbells and chimes for you.
In general, the door chime and doorbell systems fall into 2 major types: wired and wireless. Wired doorbell buttons are connected physically to the chime unit, as wireless systems are connected through a radio signal. The wired doorbells are designed considering a simple electrical circuit. This system begins with a transformer which steps down any standard home voltage to a lower one, such as 12v or 10v. The button is wired to a transformer which connects to a chime in turn. As the button is pushed, the circuit is completed, followed with an electricity bringing the chimes to life.
There are several variations when it comes to the wired door chime system. They also include the use of a second button homeowners can use for a back door. The second button is typically separately wired from the doorbell transformer to the chime. Therefore, there is a different sound to play as the button is pushed. This two button doorbell system allows you to know which door is used by your visitor.
You can purchase the hardwired doorbell contractor kits or builder kits, which are sold with all the pieces required for the door chime and doorbell installation. Even though the setup is not a complicated one, you will still need to run the wires from your external doors to the doorbell transformer, and then from the transformer to the chime. During installation of a new doorbell where wiring doesn't present, a wireless system can make a good choice. With no wire to run, you will only need to mount the buttons and the chime unit.
There are simple features to distinguish the various kinds of doorbells available. Usually, you'll start from the many styles of door chime units and buttons, including some push-buttons that are lit to make it easier when your guests need to find the button in the dark. Next is to decide which system you will need—one or two buttons—and then choose the sounds to make.

Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent had a blood alcohol level of more than double the legal limit when he crashed his car on Saturday, killing his teammate Jerry Brown.
The Dallas Morning News reports that Brent's blood alcohol level was 0.18. The legal limit is 0.08.
According to BloodAlcoholCalculator.org, a person Brent's weight, 320 pounds, would reach a 0.18 blood alcohol level after drinking 21 shots over a five-hour period.
Police say Brent failed field sobriety tests after the crash. Because Brown died, the law allowed Brent's blood to be drawn against his will.
Brent faces a charge of intoxication manslaughter in Brown's death. Brent has been released from jail on $500,000 bail, which his attorney, George Milner, described as excessive.
"It's outrageous. It's offensive," Milner said.
Milner was talking about his client's bail amount, but many would use the same words to describe a person driving after 21 drinks.

Dr. John Callewaert, Director
Institute for Community and Environment, Colby-Sawyer College
1) What kind of students major in Environmental Studies?
It is my experience that students who major in environmental studies are passionate about their beliefs and concerns. That could be about protecting important habitats, making sure that people have access to a clean and healthy environment, or doing their best to educate others. I find environmental studies students very interested in putting their education into action.
2) Is the broad and interdisciplinary nature of an Environmental Studies degree too generalized to have useful applications in jobs out in the field? Why or why not?
This depends on the program. One needs to make sure that the interdisciplinary nature of an environmental studies program allows the student to make the connections between issues and perspectives. There is a great difference between the "buffet" approach where students take a wide range of topic courses like policy, sociology, conservation biology, GIS, etc. and curricular opportunities that are designed to support interdisciplinary analysis. Some have said that the "buffet" approach creates ecological illiterates - people that know a little bit about a lot of things but not enough to make a difference. An interdisciplinary focus should provide students with both breadth and depth. With our Community and Environmental Studies program at Colby-Sawyer College we support interdisciplinary study in three ways. First, students are required to have a minor in another field. This provides them with additional depth of study in one area - biology, communications, business, etc. Second, we also require students to complete 5 general areas of study for breadth - ecology, ethics, literature, business and sociology. Finally, in their junior year students work on a year-long community based research project. This is a problem-solving studio in which students are asked to work on a problem or initiative for a local environmental organization. We have analyzed a wetland for a town conservation commission, conducted a natural resources inventory for a national wildlife refuge and are currently conducting a watershed inventory for a lake protective association. Working on the project over a whole academic year gives us the opportunity to examine topics from a variety of perspectives. When we study policy, it is policy that is relevant to the project. When we study natural history, it helps us answer questions we have for the project. Working on projects like this naturally forces us to consider things from an interdisciplinary perspective. Students also complete a project report, which is great way to demonstrate to employers how they have experience with interdisciplinary work. In my discussions with employers I have found that there is a general appreciation for interdisciplinary analysis, but there must be integration.
3) What kinds of jobs are available to ES graduates? What kinds of companies are specifically looking for ES graduates?
There is a wide range of jobs available to ES graduates. Our graduates are working as research technicians for companies conducting environmental impact assessments, site managers for national wildlife refuges, and environmental project assistants for consulting firms. Positions are available with for-profit, government and non-governmental groups. I find that the range of companies that are looking for ES graduates is continually expanding. The Environmental Careers Organization has done some great research on who is hiring ES graduates and where the jobs will be in the next decade.
4) How can Environmental Studies students gain an edge in the post-graduation job market? What's the best way to land a job with an ES degree?
I think there are three ways to get ahead. One is to have great communication skills - oral and written communication. Students need to push themselves to get this. The more confidence one can build the more interested potential employers will be. Students should try to take advantage of as many public speaking experiences as they can. Volunteer to give a report on your research to other students in your major, ask to speak to a college administrator about a campus concern you have, sign up to give a poster presentation at a conference. Next, students should make sure they have a basic understanding of and skills with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Regardless of the focus of your degree you need to be able to talk about GIS and GPS applications. This is one important way to make your resume stand out from others. Finally, students need to do an internship. This demonstrates that you can do a job in your field. It also gives the student the change to test the waters and see if a particular career field is really where they want to be.
5) Do you have any advice for prospective students entering an Environmental Studies program?
Talk to upper class students about what their experiences with the program. Ask program directors to set up opportunities to hear about what other students are doing for their internships or senior research projects. You can also just talk to people in the cafeteria or in the residence hall. Most upper class students are willing to share what they know about the program with new students.
