Dennis K. Zeigler, 68
Dennis Keith Zeigler, 68 of Broken Bow, died Thursday, Dec. 16, 2010. He was born July 12, 1944, in Broken Bow to Keith and Lillian (Ferguson) Zeigler. he spent most of his life in Broken Bow, graduating in 1962. March 16, 1966, he married Ruby Davy in Moline, Ill. To this union three children were born; Darcy, Deana and Dustin. Denny worked road construction until joining the Navy in 1965. He served in the Navy four and a half years, after which they returned to Broken Bow to raise their family. He loved his family, watching his grandkids, and fishing. He was a kind, generous and patient man with a big heart. He was a man who didn't see things in black and white; the fact is he kind of hovered in the gray area. Denny wasn't burdened with the social status society limits people to these days. He would help anyone from any walk of life. He was blessed that way, and we were blessed to have him in our lives to set that example. He loved to visit and did not know a stranger. If he did, it was only for a short time span. He could fix anything and loved a good challenge. He was a good listener and wasn't judgmental about anything. He saw the good in everyone. He was loved by many, and will be missed by more than he could ever imagine.FATHERF: is for the Funny faces of our father AND for the Faith and love he gave usA: is for the Affection that we sharedT: is for the Tales he told us.H: is for How Ruby believed him, so he thought, AND for the Helpful things he didE: is for the Evenings he spent ramblingR: is for the Right he'll always bePut them together, they spell Father.

Before it could settle down and know what hit it, the South Tama boys' basketball team was nearly run out of its own gymnasium by rival Grinnell.
The Tigers ran up and down the court with ease Tuesday night as they scored layup after layup, shooting well over 50 percent for the first three quarters. They blew out South Tama's team for the second time this season, but in much worse fashion. The Tigers (16-3) beat South Tama (6-14) 85-50.
"We can't run with them," Hammond said. "First of all, they're a good basketball team," coach Lonnie Hammond said. "Secondly, in any basketball game you have two teams that have a game plan and it comes down to which team can impose its way on the other. Tonight, even though we prepared for it, Grinnell got us going too fast. They imposed their will at the start of the game. We didn't adjust to it early."

South Tama sophomore Ian Slagle, left, pump fakes, sending a Grinnell defender into the air before shooting a layup Tuesday night. STC lost 85-50.
Grinnell nearly put the game away during the first quarter. A 7-3 lead two minutes into the game quickly turned into a blowout as STC turned the ball over and missed shots, while Grinnell pushed the tempo and scored shots in the paint. Grinnell went on a 20-2 run after STC scored to cut the Tigers' lead to four points. The 27-5 lead after the opening quarter was the primary difference in the contest.
"Early on, we missed some easy shots," Hammond said. "Maybe it creates a different tone if we make some of those opportunities early. Then once you let a team like this get into that double-digit lead, it's a tough night.
"One thing we need to do is stopping the ball," he said. "Not under the basket, but stop it higher. We talked about that in practice and worked on it. It's simply a matter of going into a game and executing."
Grinnell's offense continued to roll in the second quarter. However, the Trojans offense came alive. Seniors Jose Fonseca and Sam Kuhter, along with sophomore Grant Koch helped the Trojans keep the Tigers' lead stay around the same range. The Tigers led 47-22 at halftime.
"When we settle down and play our game, we can be successful," Hammond said. "We can't afford to have to wait until we're down 15 to settle down. We need do it sooner and get into our rhythm."
The second half was much of the same for both teams. Grinnell's offense was too much for the Trojans, but the Trojans managed to score, too. Scoring for the Trojans in the third quarter, were Kuhter (six points), Koch, senior Brad Evans (four points), senior Clay Waterbury (four points) and a three-pointer from Fonseca.
"At halftime we talked about coming out of the locker room knowing that anything can happen," Hammond said. "We wanted to come out and achieve our primary goal, which was to play like we were winning. Even if we made mistakes, we were playing hard and going after loose balls. I think, to be truthful, we did that. Obviously, we would have liked the score to be closer."
With Grinnell leading 71-41 at the end of the third quarter, both teams gave minutes to reserve players in the final period. Evans drained a three-pointer for the Trojans early in the quarter. Junior Nate Hala hit a mid-range jumper and sophomore Trevor Yuska made a pair of free throws for the Trojans.
South Tama and Grinnell will play again in less than two weeks. They will meet in the first round of the Class 3A Substate 6 District 11 tournament. The game will begin at 7 p.m. Feb. 18 in Grinnell.
"We have two weeks to raise our level of play, because we'll play them in the first round of districts," Hammond said. "That's what it comes down to. We have two weeks to raise our game. We're capable of raising our game. We can use tonight as a measuring stick. Between tonight and that district game, what do we have to get done? "
The Trojans will first host Benton Community for Senior Night on Tuesday.

Vaccines and Cancer Prevention
An oncogenic virus (or oncovirus) is a virus that is linked to or causes cancer. These include HIV, HPV (Human Papilloma Viruses), herpes viruses, hepatitis B and C viruses, Epstein Barr Virus and retroviruses. It is estimated that 12% of cancers worldwide are caused by viruses. If these viral infections can be prevented, these cancers could be prevented as well. In the case of HPV and hepatitis, there are vaccines available to prevent infection with these viruses.
Hepatitis Vaccine
Hepatitis B virus causes liver disease which can range from a mild illness (that you may not even know you have) to a lifelong illness that can lead to serious liver damage, liver failure and/or liver cancer. Hepatitis B is spread through contact with the blood, semen, or other body fluids of an infected person. It is not spread through water, sharing of eating utensils, coughing, or sneezing. Infection can be prevented with a series of three or four vaccines given over 6 months. It is recommended for all infants, for individuals under age 18 who have not been vaccinated or anyone who is not infected or already immune and is at high risk for infection.
HPV Vaccine
Almost 100% of cervical cancers, and 85% of anal cancers, as well as many vulvar, vaginal, penile, and head and neck cancers are caused by infection with the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV. HPV is a virus that can be transmitted through vaginal, anal, and/or oral sexual activity, with skin-to-skin contact and not necessarily intercourse. Some strains of HPV cause genital warts, while others are more likely to cause cancer. Two vaccines (Cervarix and Gardasil) are available to prevent infection with certain types of HPV that can lead to cervical and other cancers. Neither vaccine will treat an HPV infection, so they are ideally given before an individual becomes sexually active. The vaccines are available for girls ages 9 through 26 and, more recently, young boys. The vaccines require three doses to be effective and has very minor side effects.

Yesterday, Microsoft dropped a bomb by announcing that all versions of Windows 7 released in Europe would ship without Internet Explorer pre-installed. This was in answer to the EU antitrust investigation currently under way regarding possible illegal bundling of Internet Explorer with Windows. The first reactions to this news are coming in, with Opera and the EU both lamenting the move.

RE[5]: This is ridiculous - cheers
by jabbotts on Sun 14th Jun 2009 00:47 UTC in reply to "RE[4]: This is ridiculous - hey Cpt. Fabulous"
I do appreciate you pointing out why, I've had comments I thought fully on topic and not remotely hostile but modded down and I always spend a minute wondering what the heck for. If there is a "why comment was modded down" function, I've not found it yet.
I also appreciate the correction on Win7. It's new enough that it's still outside my general scope. I'm mucking with the RC now but it won't fully come into play until retail release. Hopefully it's not simply removing iexplore.exe and the icon; I'm good with an uninstall that leaves the minimal shared libraries behind. That hasn't been the case with previous Windows versions though.

THE main reasons babies and toddlers are being injured and hospitalised in NSW have been identified for the first time by Sydney researchers, who say their findings have important implications for the development of injury prevention campaigns aimed at parents.
Children aged 0-4 were often analysed together in injury statistics, said the lead author of the study, Marcia Schmertmann. But this was misleading because it masked important differences in injury risk that were only seen when looking at statistics by individual year group.
''As a whole, falls from playground equipment appears to be the main cause of injury hospitalisation for children four and under,'' said Ms Schmertmann, who led the study through the Injury Risk Management Research Centre at the University of NSW.
''But falls while being carried are actually the leading cause of hospitalisation injury for children younger than one, and poisoning for two-year-olds, while falls from playground equipment are not even in the top five for those age groups.''
Her research, published in this month's Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, looked at hospitalisations over the decade until 2009 using data from NSW Health and the Bureau of Statistics.
Ms Schmertmann said the research showed parents needed to be implementing injury prevention strategies well ahead of each stage of their child's development.
But the head of Sydney Children Hospital's trauma service, Donovan Dwyer, said it was very difficult for parents to find prevention information despite a significant amount of research being carried out in that area.
''In my position I have strong insight into injury and trauma and I still find these resources are not as out there as you'd expect,'' Dr Dwyer said.
''Countless times I've heard parents say, 'I just turned away for one second', and those distraught parents sometimes blame themselves or there is inter-marital blame; it is very stressful for them.
''All these prevention committees, councils and bodies need to come together to share information and make it more accessible to parents.''
Many infant falls resulted from older but immature siblings attempting to carry them, he said, or from parents lifting their wet child from a bath and over a tiled floor, which he described as a ''recipe for disaster''.
For burn injuries, the head of the Burns Unit at the Children's Hospital at Westmead, John Harvey, said the bathroom and kitchen were the most common sources.
Children were getting into, or running their hands under, hot bath water, being scalded by their parent's coffee or tea, or pulling down kettles or hot saucepans, he said.
''Nearly 60 per cent of burns in those under five are caused by scalds and we haven't seen that rate change over the past 10 years,'' Dr Dwyer said.
''It's very concerning and education campaigns are really needed.''
About 650 children under five were admitted to the statewide emergency service with burns each year, he said, with contact burns from touching heaters, stoves, irons, oven doors and running treadmills becoming more common.

Chelsea striker Demba Ba a doubt for Saturday's game against Wigan
Chelsea striker Demba Ba is a doubt for Saturday's Premier League game against Wigan at Stamford Bridge.
Last Updated: 06/02/13 6:28pm
Ba pulled out of Tuesday's game in Paris after suffering a broken nose when he was kicked in the face by Fabricio Coloccini in last Saturday's 3-2 defeat at his former club Newcastle.
Chelsea are already without goalkeeper Petr Cech for the visit of the Latics to Stamford Bridge.
Cech withdrew from the Czech Republic squad for Wednesday's friendly in Turkey after a scan revealed he had broken a little finger in the game against Newcastle.
Ba wished his Senegal team-mates luck in his absence. He wrote on Twitter: "All the best to my senegal's boys tonight vs guinea.... wish i could be there. All the best 2 alain giresse for his debut as senegal manager."
Meanwhile, Brazil boss Luiz Felipe Scolari has promised not to take any risks with Chelsea defender David Luiz, who is a doubt for Wednesday's friendly against England with a calf injury.
Luiz suffered the injury in the dying minutes of Chelsea's Capital One Cup semi-final against Swansea on 23 January and has not played since.
Scolari decided to keep the 25-year-old in his squad for the game at Wembley but he will not play unless he passes a fitness test.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-The Harvard men's hockey team was picked to finish fourth in ECAC Hockey by the league's coaches and media and senior defenseman Alex Biega has been named to the coaches' and media's preseason all-league teams, the league announced Monday on its preseason media conference call.
The Crimson, coming off a fifth-place league finish in 2008-09, received a first-place vote in the ECAC Hockey Writers and Broadcasters Association Preseason Poll. The top half of each poll was identical. Defending champion Yale was picked first, followed by Cornell, Princeton, Harvard, Dartmouth and Union. Yale earned seven first-place votes in the coaches' poll and 15 in the media poll. Cornell received three first-place votes from the coaches and seven from the media, while Princeton got two from each.
"We're very excited about the season," Ted Donato, the Robert D. Ziff '88 Head Coach of Harvard Men's Ice Hockey told reporters. "We have a very talented group of young players that we're adding to a solid group of veterans. There's a lot to be excited about."
The coaches and media agreed on the finish of only one team in the bottom half of their preseason polls. The coaches selected Colgate seventh. Quinnipiac and Rensselaer were tied for eighth, followed by St. Lawrence, Clarkson and Brown in the final three positions. In the media poll, St. Lawrence was seventh, Clarkson eighth, Colgate ninth, Rensselaer 10th, Quinnipiac 11th and Brown 12th.
Biega, a two-time selection to the All-ECAC Hockey third team, received his fourth and fifth preseason all-conference honors. It was his third straight selection to the media's all-league squad and his second straight to the coaches' team. He led Harvard with 16 assists last season and placed second on the squad with 20 points. Biega was also a key part of ECAC Hockey's top power play in league games (19.2 percent).
The Crimson captain was one of four players named preseason all-league by both the ECAC coaches and media. Princeton goaltender Zane Kalemba, Colgate forward David McIntyre and Cornell forward Riley Nash were picked to both teams. Dartmouth's Evan Stephens was the other defenseman on the coaches' team, while Cornell's Brendon Nash made the media's squad. The coaches chose Yale forward Sean Backman to their preseason team, while the media selected his teammate, Mark Arcobello.
Harvard returns 20 letterwinners from previous seasons and opens the 2009-10 regular season Oct. 30 at Dartmouth.

Wait... aren't we talking about the same iOS that gets jailbroken like clockwork still?
not only that, but the comments are hilarious as are the arguments:
* A sandbox isolates programs, and iOS's memory organization makes exploitation more difficult.
* Applications that run on the iOS are vetted by Apple and can be removed if found to be malicious.
* Patches can be quickly applied to the iPhone and iPad to close security holes in the operating system.
* The software is regularly reviewed, especially its open source components.
* The platform has the advantage of attacker psychology -- attackers still target smartphones far less than desktop systems.
This is hilarious, considering that the sandbox is the only true thing. Patching is known to break things continually (and done to break things - hello anti-jailbreak?), apple doesn't vet third party apps - you think they vet the browsers or MS office on mac? Said things are open and known security breaches. Same argument can be made for microsoft and google's first party apps being vetted (no shit) on that, and I'm not even a microsoft fan.
Attacker psychology? What joke of a phrase is that? That's as anecdotal as it gets.
So in summary, the thing apple does right is put things in a sandbox. that is all. Infoworld sure does have a hardon for apple sometimes.
It updates without asking people.. it disables things without asking people... certain types of useful software are internally prevented from ever running on it..
Prior to iOS 5, the only OTA updates that you received were carrier settings updates which is "normal" for smartphones. Maybe a dumb phone is s better fit for you. Settings in the past were disabled by carrier updates. If you have a problem with AT&T, take it up with them. I don't have a problem with the software vetting process especially for something that can access the cellular radio.
it steals information about me - such as my geographical location and uploads it to a server without me asking..
Do you understand how web services work? You have to supply some information to the service in order to get back info
apple doesn't vet third party apps - you think they vet the browsers or MS office on mac
Yes, the article is lame, but it's about iOS, and not Mac OS X

Mac? This is iOS he's talking about. I am interested though, what apps have been broken by patches apart from jailbreaking?
Jailbreaking uses security flaws to run unsigned code. The same flaws can be used for malicious purposes. It is most definitely a security issue.
While most jailbreaking methods do require the phone to be tethered to a computer which greatly reduces the chances of infection in the wild, there have been at least two well known untethered jailbreak methods that could have been used to install malicious code quite easily.
Jailbreaking is not really a security problem. Firstly, because "jailbreaking" just means allowing unsigned code to run.
Why don't you re-read that and tell me where your logic flaw is.

Beat me to it. First thing I thought when I read it was "how is the ability to run unsigned code in a closed platform not a security problem?"
I suppose it's not a security problem if the source of the unsigned code is benevolent, such as, oh say, you.
I suggest that this issue has more to do with the security of Apple's business model than with the security of the OS.
First thing I thought when I read it was "how is the ability to run unsigned code in a closed platform not a security problem?"
Relying on the obscurity of a closed platform is itself the security problem. For example, the article points out that the developer of a flashlight application was able to sneak tethering past the iOS App Store curators. And there are ways to limit the damage an application can do without requiring $99 per year from each person who wants to run applications that Apple hasn't approved; look up OLPC Bitfrost on Google for one method that I found interesting.
Jailbreaking is not really a security problem. Firstly, because "jailbreaking" just means allowing unsigned code to run.
Why don't you re-read that and tell me where your logic flaw is.
So, it's a security problem, except when your OS completely lacks code or driver signing, then its a feature. I see whats going on here.
How is it a "security flaw" that you can hack your own device purposefully that you have physical access to?
Your Ultimate Machine has NOTHING on this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmQ5LsNMXZ4 [youtube.com]
I find it more amusing that at this very moment in time there are probably several hundred hackers laughing at his statements and thinking about whether or not they should put his iOS device security to the test.
So much mobile fanboy trollbait on the 'dot this morning.
It's just the reverse of the enormously slanted "Apple is definitely phasing out OS X and locking it down and will force people to only buy from the App Store" article earlier, just with the "anti-Apple" bias changed to "pro-Apple".
There must be balance in the ad-impression linkbait, lest the universe implode.

Apple is going after the market of users who are sick of dealing with security issues/malware/etc. They've done it by created a closed system. And while us geeks hate that, it has a strong appeal to most people. When they go to a closed system on Mac's (and they will), that's who they're going to be appealing to. "Buy a computer where all your software is pre-screened through our App Store and you don't have to worry about viruses" is a powerful (and potentially very profitable) message in a time when malware and assorted hacks have become so common.
Nonsense. We don't need coders in the US, that's like manufacturing. We'll just have someone in India or China do it. We're an information economy here in the States, where our information is enforced consumption of music, movies, and Apps (developed in India and China.)
Correction: Apple is going after the market of users who are sick of dealing with security issues and could never be bothered to dump Windows.
PhoneOS is nothing special in terms of security. Although it is pretty fascist and unecessarily so.
Utter rubbish - and that's coming from a mainly Linux guy.
I haven't gone beyond Windows XP for when I need to run Windows because I've no reason to upgrade to Windows 7 - but I've been using XP since Service Pack 1 and I cannot recall the last time I had any malware on it.
It's precisely BECAUSE I know about security issues that I know what the weaknesses are in Windows (and Linux) that I can counteract those before they have a chance to hit any of my systems.
The fact is that if you keep XP updated, run a go
Apple is going after the market of users who are sick of dealing with security issues/malware/etc.
Rubbish. I run IT for fashion company whose employees are all the cool kids. Apple rules here for only one reason, it looks cool. The iphone looks cool, the touch screen looks cool, a 27" iMac looks cool sitting on your desk, and a Macbook air looks cool under your arm. These people pay $300 for a pair of jeans for the same reason. They don't even know what words malware, open source, or proprietary mean.
More people need to pay attention to http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl [slashdot.org] and mod stories like this into oblivion.
Cool, can we mod the "Apple is definitely phasing out OS X" stories too?
More people need to pay attention to http://slashdot.org/firehose.pl [slashdot.org] and mod stories like this into oblivion.
If you are going to be that way, I suggest that you go to a site like digg or reddit where they like for bury stories and comments that they don't like instead of coming up with an intelligent rebuttal. I for one, come here to slashdot in the hope of seeing some modicum of intelligent discourse.
Nobody is holding a gun to your head to stay on slashdot or comment on stories that you don't like. You can simply just ignore them.
Great. A sandboxed environment with limited functionality and a vendor stranglehold on apps is "more secure" than a fully functional PC OS where the use can run any app (or even another OS) that they desire.
Big fricking whoop.
That's like saying that a car that spent the entirety of it's life parked in a little old lady's garage was safer to drive than another car that has spent the last 10-15 years as someone's daily driver.
You keep saying that word. But I do not think it means what you think it means. -- Inigo Montoya
Oh, so you can run emulator software on it now, can you?
Or compile source code into packages that you can install onto it?
Or go into the boot up processes and turn off or configure any services that you don't want or want to run differently?
Or create a specific account to run the OS will much fewer permissions so that you're more secure due to the tighter restrictions you've placed yourself under?
I'll preface this reply with: I have an iPhone developer account so I'm not a normal user, however, your list of things aren't on the list of things that normal users give a shit about so I'll follow up anyway.
Oh, so you can run emulator software on it now, can you?
Yep, use my own circuit simulators and I've been working on an ATmega simulator for shits and giggles. No they'd never be sold on the appstore, but I can run them just fine without doing anything against Apples rules.
Or compile source code into packages that you can install onto it?
Yes, thats exactly what ALL iOS developers do, thats what gets distributed to your
And here I was thinking that "Functionality" meant being able to do something useful.
Using a solid lead window makes it a very secure window, but you're not going to say its 'functional' are you?
Why grudgingly? It either is or it isn't. If you have to begrudge the truth, go find something else to do.
Sensationalist, baseless claim? Check.
Short article "sourced" entirely off in-house artices? Check.
Forces to use print version to avoid ad overload? Check.
Yep, it's InfoWorld alright.
Let me save you 5 minutes of your time. This bit from TFA is really all there is to it:
The security is in the app store.
It's not surprising, then, that security professionals pointed not to Apple's design but to the company's gated App Store [11] and its required code review before publishing as a major security advantage. "The closed ecosystem makes the model pretty safe," says Trend Micro's Genes. "It is not because the iOS is completely safe. From a system design standpoint, Android is safer."
Although iOS has a lot of security going on underneath the hood, its safety could be due in large part to the fact that attackers have not focused on compromising the devices because there is no economic incentive to attack them, says Lookout's Mahaffey.
Really? No economic incentive?
Unlike PCs and Macs, every cell phone is directly associated with a credit card. Essentially a cell phone IS money. Bad actors can - and do - monetize this with malware that places calls to sketchy and high-cost phone numbers, or send texts to subscribe to "information services," resulting in (fraudulent) charges showing up each month. And good luck trying to dispute charges with your cellular provider on those. They will just tell you that their hands are tied by federal law and that they can't help you, but nonetheless will turn around and threaten you with collection if you don't pay.
There's definitely economic incentive to attack mobile phones.
OpenBSD has been at it a lot longer. Even as a Linux Zealot, I would choose OpenBSD for security. IOS is a closed Black-Box that nobody but Stevie knows what's inside. Historically we tend to find *cough*siemens*cough* that closed source, proprietary *cough*secureid*cough* offerings do not necessarily equate to a trustworthy or "secure" system. What seems to happen is closed source options provide a layer of obscurity which allow the governing company *cough*dropbox*cough* to take inexcusable risks with customers assets because, basically, they don't need to show anybody. As long as they never get caught, they save a lot of money not having to implement a system to keep them honest.
I think apple iOS is the most secure (tehehe) because of all the people searching for flaws to Jailbreak it with. Its like free security testing.
As we speak comments from the Apple Lovers and Haters are filling up comment sections everywhere. Also bloggers are coming up with more flametastic headlines to lure your eyeball to their website.
Enjoy it while you can since it lasts... well... Never mind it's a regular occurrence here on Slashdot
Any OS will be more secure simply by virtue of locking it down that much more, thus restricting the people who use it to do less with it.
If you need address space randomization, you're already broken. It just makes the dumber stack overflow exploits crash more.
The real question is "how much can an application do?". You have to assume that applications are hostile. Some of them will be. Some of them will have back doors. Some of them will have adware, spyware, remote updating, and similar attack vectors.
You need an OS that can reliably say no to an application. Apparently by "sandbox" the original author means "protected-mode operating

Lenovo U300s Ultrabook
'Ang on, lads, I've got an IdeaPad
Light sleeper
The two USB ports (one 2.0, the other 3.0) are sensibly located on opposite sides of the body so that fat USB dongles and drives don't obstruct each other. This isn't great news if you use clunky old USB peripherals that require connection to two ports simultaneously in order to draw extra power, but it's probably time you ditched that kind of crap anyway.
A pair of fans draw heat away from the main board from the vent on the left-hand side
I don't keep banging on about USB 3.0 for nothing, you know. There's an HDMI port but no VGA, which is a typical sacrifice in Ultrabooks. An audio in/out combo port rounds up the list of physical connections: no Ethernet, no third USB.
In common with many other Ultrabooks with SSD drives, the IdeaPad U300s has a hidden Windows 7 recovery partition. With an eye on keeping things user-friendly, Lenovo has fitted a little One Key Rescue button on the left-hand side of the computer, just around the corner from the system on/off button. Pressing One Key Rescue begins a full boot that pauses to let you access the recovery partition or access the BIOS settings.
No time to sleep?
A normal boot, however, skips all of this time-wasting 'Hello, I'm a BIOS' nonsense, diving straight into Windows 7 with laudable speed. RapidBoot (booting the IdeaPad U300s from cold) took 32 seconds, while RapidStart (restarting after having closed the lid) took just 7 seconds.
It was impossible to time how long it took for the IdeaPad U300s to restart from Sleep mode (as selected from the Start bar) because it was immediate. I mean precisely that: having sent the computer to Sleep and left it alone for a few minutes, I pressed the power button and Windows was back up and running before I could trigger my stopwatch.
Benchmark Tests
PC Mark 7 Results
Longer bars are better
Powermark Results
Battery life in minutes
Longer bars are better
Power management looks pretty good on the IdeaPad U300s. Although Lenovo's preferred battery settings dim the screen brightness too much for my liking, I had no trouble playing around on this computer on and off throughout the day without seeing a 'battery low' warning.

As if you're not sick enough of hearing the back and forth between Jeremy Mayfield and NASCAR officials, David Black, the doctor who runs the lab that conducts NASCAR testing said that he had a discussion with Mayfield about the banned substance he tested positive for.
Black said:
I spoke with him about his positive test result on the day he was suspended, and I spoke to him directly about the test result. … Yes, by name of what he tested positive for.
This is contrary to remarks Mayfield made at the All Star race.
Mayfield, then, said:
They didn't say what I took. They don't know what I took. A legal prescription drug, that's what I take. And I had allergies at Richmond that were really, really bad. On [May 7] I got a call and said you've tested positive for whatever they called it. I said, 'OK, no problem. I've got all my paperwork ready.' He said 'You'll fax that to us; it'll cancel out your test.'
Maury Brown, of the Business of Sports Network is calling for NASCAR to makes its drug policy more transparent. He writes:
If NASCAR wants to be considered an equal of the Big-4 sports leagues, it needs to follow their leads and simply make the substances they are testing for well published. If they want to go a step further…publish a certified nutritional supplements list – a list that certifies that PEDs are not within the supplements due to contamination in the mixing process, and has proper controls to prevent false positives.
I can't say I disagree. While I understand not wanting to make Mayfield's test results public, I think NASCAR should at least make its list public.
The only reason I think they may be hesitant is because it somehow might affect potential sponsors if their products appear on the list.

Secretary of State John Kerry is embarking on his first official overseas voyage, bringing new ideas to capitals in Europe and the Middle East on how to end nearly two years of brutal violence in Syria.
Kerry leaves Washington on Sunday on a grueling nine-nation, 10-day trip that will bring him to America's traditional western European allies of Britain, Germany, France and Italy along with Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. In addition to Syria, he will focus on conflicts in Mali and Afghanistan and Iran's nuclear program.
Despite the numerous Middle East stops. Kerry will not travel to Israel or the Palestinian territories. He will wait to visit them when President Barack Obama goes there in March.

This week, the eyes of the college football world were fixed firmly on the super-competitive skills camp at Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.
The Opening featured many of the most sought-after recruits from around the country. Several Pac-12 schools closed the deal on some of them.
The biggest winners came in the North division, as Oregon, Cal and Washington landed verbal commitments from four-star players Arrion Springs (CB, San Antonio, Texas), Jaleel Wadwood (ATH, Bellflower, Calif.) and Erik Brown (WR, Fontana, Calif.), respectively.
Dave Miller of National Football Post analyzed them via his blog.
On Springs:
"The Ducks received a commitment from one of the top players in the state of Texas, as Arrion Springs chose the Ducks over Texas. The 6-foot, 195-pound class of 2014 product from Theodore Roosevelt High School is one of the better cornerbacks in the country."
On Wadwood:
"The 5-11, 165-pound athlete joins two safeties who are already committed to the Bears in the 2014 class. Depth in the secondary is very much needed for (coach) Sonny Dykes, and Wadwood has the versatility to play corner or safety at the next level."
On Brown:
"The Huskies' ability to land top wide receivers continues with the commitment of Erik Brown, who becomes the seventh player in Washington's class of 2014 and the second star wide receiver, joining Rahshead Johnson, a fellow recruit from Southern California.
Southern Cal also scored big with four-star outside linebacker D.J. Calhoun (El Cerrito, Calif.). Arizona did the same with three-star cornerback Naijiel Hale, a high school teammate of Wadwood, and one of the better corners on the West Coast, according to Miller.
Calhoun was a huge pickup on the final day of The Opening. The 6-foot, 201-pounder turned heads throughout the week with his athleticism and awareness.
Here's a complete rundown from The Opening with daily results, news and analysis, brought to you by Bleacher Report's Ryan Rudnansky.

Hull City boss Steve Bruce says he is exploring every possibility to make Jake Livermore's stay at the club permanent.
The midfielder joined on a season-long loan at the KC Stadium, on the same day that fellow-Spurs player Tom Huddlestone swapped permanently.
The duo have been extremely impressive so far this season, and boss Steve Bruce now hopes he can sign the youngster for the long term.
Bruce understands that 23-year-old won't come cheap, however says he will need to take a few financial risks in order to give the players the stage they deserve.
Bruce told the Sunday Mirror: "I would love to keep Jake if I could, so we'll have to see if there is a deal to be done.
"But I'm sure Daniel Levy, the Tottenham chairman, will want the Humber Bridge and the receipts that go with it for him.
"I haven't asked yet, but we shall do our utmost to see if we can make it permanent. At the moment, we are just happy to have him.
"The big thing for Jake is that he is playing games regularly. He has played eight games in a row in the Premier League for us this season, and that's something he has never done before. It is great for him, and he looks like he's enjoying it.
"When I eventually left Manchester United it was because I didn't want to be a bit-part player.
"We all want to play at the top but, when the big games come around and you are not involved, if you've got anything about you as a footballer you just want to get out and play somewhere."
Hull are currently performing better than expected in the Premier League this year, and sit 9th with eight games played. Huddlestone and Livermore have both been impressive for the Tigers, and if Bruce can convince Tottenham to allow the latter to follow in the footsteps of the former in signing permanently, it will probably stand his side in good stead.

THREE people have died in two separate crashes in the Yarra Ranges in Melbourne's east.
A 12-year-old girl and a man in his mid-30s died when a truck apparently crossed on to the wrong side of the road and hit their 4WD at Steels Creek just before 9am.
Police say that a truck was travelling in Mount Slide Road, towards the Melba Highway, when it hit a 4WD, killing the male driver and a girl in the back.
The man was thrown from the car, while the girl was trapped.Helicopters were dispatched to the crash, but the pair died at the scene.
Two other passengers, a boy, 8, and girl, 12, were uninjured but were taken to Maroondah Hospital for observation.
The truck driver, 45, is assisting detectives from the Major Collision Investigation Unit.
Detective Sergeant Chris Carnie described the scene as particularly distressing for emergency crews.
''Any time you have a collision such as this where children are involved, it is especially difficult," he said.
"We will investigate a range of potential factors and would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision or either of the vehicles in the lead up to it.
In a separate crash, a motorcyclist riding with a group lost control of his bike at Hoddles Creek, about 72 kilometres east of Melbourne.
Investigators say that the Watsonia man, in his 40s, was travelling to Gembrook when he lost control on a sweeping bend in Gembrook-Launching Place Road about 11am.
The deaths bring the state road toll to 38, eight more than for this time last year.
A 19-year-old man is fighting for life after losing control of his bike and becoming impaled on a fence at Bendigo at 1am.
Anyone who witnessed either fatality is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800333000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au

More than three million men say they plan to start volunteering this year, and older people's charity WRVS is launching a manhunt, calling for men to join its ranks in a bid to shed its 'for women only' reputation.
Although launched as a women-only organisation in 1938, WRVS now supports older people and the charity wants more men to volunteer. Less than a fifth of its 40,000 cohort are men.
More male volunteers are particularly needed to tackle the loneliness experienced by many older men which can have a detrimental effect on their health and wellbeing.
The charity is now urging the men planning to volunteer this year to consider WRVS and, to persuade them to sign up, is hosting a men only Q&A on twitter on Monday, February 18 between 12 noon and 2pm. Men interested are invited to pose questions to a male volunteer using a dedicated hashtag #manhunt.
To register an interest in volunteering visit www.wrvs.org.uk or call 0845 601 4670.

COLLEGE STATION, TX -- Stephen McGee had 112 yards passing and added 121 yards rushing and two touchdowns to lead No. 25 Texas A&M to a 38-7 win over Montana State on Saturday night.
The Bobcats scored first but the Aggies scored 38 straight points to improve to 5-0 in home openers under coach Dennis Franchione.
The Bobcats, of the Football Championship Subdivision, formerly known as Division I-AA, outgained the Aggies and controlled the clock, but couldn't finish drives, missing three field goals and losing a fumble deep in Aggies territory.
McGee scored on a 65-yard run in the first quarter and made it 31-7 on a 3-yard run early in the fourth. He was replaced by backup Jerrod Johnson midway through the fourth quarter.
The Aggies passing game was shaky early with McGee going 4-of-7 for 47 yards in the first half. He was flagged for intentional grounding, sacked once and hurried a number of times.
He looked better after halftime, completing consecutive passes of 9, 9 and 15 yards to tight end Martellus Bennett on the first drive of the third quarter to set up A&M's next score. McGee completed 10 of 20 passes with a long throw of 23 yards.
Mike Goodson jumped over one player at the line and danced his way 18 yards for a touchdown to finish that drive and make it 24-7 early in the third quarter. Goodson finished with 10 carries for 65 yards.
Jordan Peterson fumbled a punt which Montana State recovered, but the Bobcats were left empty-handed when Eric Fisher's 28-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left in the third quarter. He also missed one from 42 yards later in that quarter and another from 39 yards in the fourth quarter.
The Bobcats, in their first season under coach Rob Ash, opened last season with a 19-10 upset of Colorado in Boulder and jumped out to an early lead in this one.
An 8-yard touchdown pass from Jack Rolovich to Elliott Barnhart capped a 13-play, 83-yard drive to start the game. Rolovich found Barnhart in the corner and the big tight end barreled into the end zone untouched to put Montana State ahead 7-0 with 9:44 left in the first quarter.
Rolovich was 21-of-39 for 267 yards.
A 34-yard field goal by Matt Szymanski on Texas A&M's first possession made it 7-3.
McGee gave Texas A&M its first lead on a 65-yard touchdown run that made it 10-7 with 2:54 remaining in the first quarter.
Goodson had runs of 34- and 13-yards to set up a 2 yard touchdown run by Jorvorskie Lane that made it 17-7 with midway through the second quarter. The 268-pound tailback lowered his head and knocked the helmet off his defender as he bulled into the end zone.
The Bobcats exploited Texas A&M's secondary throughout the first half, piling up 205 yards passing. A 50-yard pass from Rolovich to Josh Lewis, who got in front of two Aggies defenders, late in the second half got Montana State to the 12-yard line. But two plays later, Rolovich was sacked by Chris Harrington and fumbled which the Aggies recovered to leave the score at 17-7 at halftime.
The Aggies were better in the second half, allowing just 99 yards passing after halftime.
Johnson stretched Texas A&M's lead to 38-7 with 17-yard touchdown pass to Terrence McCoy with 1:20 left in the game.

- When consulting the forum, attach the output of 'ossinfo -v3' and 'ossmix'.
How do I...
- Change mixer settings - ossmix (command line), ossxmix (GUI)
- Start and shut down OSS - soundon, soundoff (both require root)
- Save and restore mixer settings - savemixer (saving requires write permissions for mixer.save)
- Build OSS from source
- Other Tips And Tricks
I can't hear any sound!
- Did OSS load at all?
- Does osstest work?
- Are the outputs muted in the mixer?
- HDAudio: Are the jacks detected by OSS as output, actually the jacks connected to the speaker?
- Is this an hardware issue?
- Are the speakers muted?
- Is the soundcard connected correctly to the speakers?
- Do other drivers available for your OS (e.g. ALSA for Linux, FreeBSD native) work?
I hear noises!
- Many soundcards' hardware requires output mixers be set to less than maximum (60% at times).
- Set vmix0-src to an higher setting.
- Is the cable from the soundcard to the speakers connected correctly? Could it be too long?
I can't get multiple sound clients to play on the same device
- On FreeBSD version, multiple clients to same device aren't supported. Either set programs to use separate devices, or use sound server like aRts, esd, etc.
- Is vmix loaded?
- If so, make sure vmix1_masterdev in vmix.conf is set to the output device's device index.

If you had to give one of these guys a 5 Year contract, which one would it be?
Both are very young infielders who are gonna be superstars in their big league career
Macado, but I wouldn't want the 5 year contract to start for another year.
Macado has quite a bit of developing left to do, but should end up being the better offensive player.
At this very point, Machado has a higher ceiling, and a lower floor.
Castro is more likely to have a good career, but I don't know that I see it as a hall of fame caliber career. While Macado I still think has A-Rod caliber potential.
It also depends if Castro learns to draw walks and hit for power, they are both so young it's hard to tell.
I'm biased, but let us not underestimate the hit tool and make the decision only on walk rates. I have a feeling that has a chance to happen.
I can get on board with Machado having more offensive upside, but I do believe Castro has the edge on defensive upside.
To answer the question, I'd give the contract to the safer guy, which is Castro.
Machado age 19 at AA - .266/.352/.438 .361 wOBA in 459 PA
Starlin age 19 at AA - .288/.347/.396 .356 wOBA in 122 PA
age 20 at AA - .367/.413/.560 .418 wOBA in 121 PA
Looks pretty similar. Their age 19 seasons were similar, but Machado did have success for a longer period of time. Starlin had his way with AA the next season, though Machado probably won't get a chance to match.
My point was though, I hope people just don't look at the two players, compare Machado's BB% in the minors to Starlin's now and come up with their answer. There seems to be a "more walks = better player" mentality lately.
Starlin Castro
I suppose I'm biased to Machado since I've seen more of him, but he does look impressive. Like Jeffy said, Machado has the higher ceiling, but the lower floor. I'd be willing to take the risk on him over Castro.
I don't think it's any kind of slam dunk that Machado has the higher ceiling. Sure, he's bigger so there's probably more power potential and he's presently more patient. He also probably can't high for average as well, isn't clearly any better or worse defensively, and isn't a clearly better base runner.
That said, I'm fine with Castro's wagon being lighter in the early going. He deserves less hype. He's only hit .304/.343/.422/.766 between 20 and 21 in the major leagues, made the AS team at 21 and 22, and done that playing SS. No way that tops being the #3 overall pick in the draft and ranking in the top 15 prospects of the game twice. Castro didn't even rank in the top 15 once! He only got 16th before 2010, during which he'd be called up to the majors and hit .300/.347/.408 in over 500 PAs.
If you're talking over the next 5 years, Castro would probably edge out Machado. I'd absolutely take Machado in years 4 and 5, though.
Why do people think Machado has the lower floor? He's a much more patient hitter than Castro who's dependent on BABIP for his .obp. I just don't see it.
Machado because of his ceiling. I don't think it's an A-Rod ceiling, but considering A-Rod was the best SS ever to play the game I don't think that's saying much.
Machado has been absolutely amazing for this team. His defense has been downright awesome, and he has 7 HR's since being up with a .270 average. He needs to walk more, but that will come, he's only 20.

Hey guys. I'm new to this forum, but I've been following a lot of post here on the Jato for months. Ppl like revonitro and forbes and many others here inspire me to make and try new things. I've post this on another forum but were better to post this were it really should be.. here with us jato guys. So here is my first post and mod.. JATO DUAL BRAKE DISK
Here are some better pics I got off the traxxas web site to make a better understanding of what I did.
When all is done.. This it what it should look like.
And here is the rest because traxxas wouldn't let me put the rest into one post.
A closer look.
As you can see, there is no e clip anymore, an extra brake pad and two brake hubs. Just post if you have any Qs. The result: Better stopping power, no brake fade when wet, better brake control. (you dont have to apply the brake trigger all the way to stop it. Kinda like throttle control but with the brakes.)
MMM>>>...very nice. Have u tried the graphite disc and steel blades?? wat do they compare to this or u think that this is beyond anything u can buy. When applying the brakes do u get locked up tires...like can u skid???
Great effort for ur first post mate keep it up!!
Job well done dude. I was thinking about doing this same mod, but not exactly the way you did it. Dual brake discs increases the amount of contacted surface area, so theoretically, it should increase the braking power.
You should show a vid of doing a 50mph run and just slamming on the brakes to show if it's effective or not.
For a second though, i thought you were pretty decent at CAD, but then i saw that you copied it off of the traxxas website. I did CAD drawing like that when i was a freshman in highschool (and a freshman in college for my engineering class). I was almost amazed you would spend the time to make the drawing.
Well anyway. Tell us how it does.
#mphModel: 60NR, 62Jato, 51Revo, 36Slash, 35MiniT
dude... your almost a genius...
If you don't like Nitro, you don't like anything!
even if it don't work.... look at how clean his post was!!!!!! lol
hope u guys don't ever expect that from me... i can't even spell half the time....
secondly... welcome to the forum man, glad to have u around....
and for the mod.... good job, real simple and as stated above.. u have doubled the contact surface so in theory, the brakes should be very ez to control.... not to the point of a 4 wheel drive i wouldn't think but alot better.
the only concern i possibly see.... without the e clip, isn't the last pad just floatin? i can't realy tell how far the brake thingymjiggy is stikin out from the angle of ur pic... i think i have an extra carbon fiber disc layin around... i'm game.. i'll be doin this when i get home.... along with this do u have any other brake mods like the antenna tube in place of the spring?
and btw... did u paint ur springs blue or are they a diff kind?
been there bought that
Very cool mod! Great work! How does it perform?
RIP Bart Hinson
good job man looks nice.......its alway nice to see new ideas.......and welcome
you can't out run the General Lee!!!!
verry good job on that mod im on my way to do the same thing with my jato. right now i have the ink pin tube with fuel line mod and alloy levers don on mine and i can lock em up with full break so maby this will let me use less break pressure. thanks for the help and keep up the good work. and yes welcome to the best forum around.
my dad had my cars on a trip
Sweet mod man.. very innovative.. Hopefully this will allow us to NOT have to lock up the brakes, locking them up is not the ideal situation, but probably unavoidable with only rear brakes = /
i think you should sell that mod to Traxxas!!!
the Jato is a MUST NEED dual brake system
good idea man! nice to see ya thinking out of the box.
sig edited for content
Hey thanks guys for the warm welcome!
Maxbomb: no I haven't tried any of the other materials because here in Houston, not too many people have jatos. Or I should say not enough for the hobby shops to keep a wide amount of different parts for it in stock. I was really looking into buying some carbon fiber or graphite discs. I just skipped buying those parts and used what I had for the mean time. This mod would lock up the tires at any speed wet or dry. The best performance is on grass and on concrete. Black top makes the tires look up and the jato skids like crazy. So the brakes are "grabby" But on concrete, the tires seem to grip better and allow the brakes to do its job. As for grass, It works the same as concrete due to the fact that I'm running talons.
Redman3: lol! yeah. you'd be surprised. I made those drawings with paint on my laptop. But yes. I need to take some CAD classes to make my life easier. But thank you for your thoughts on my artistic talents!
Forbes: No. The last pad is not floating. you see... When the first hub is slid on to the shaft, the hub pin goes in then the hub is pulled over the pin. Now the next hub is slid on to the rest of what is left of the shaft. Then the two small screws hold the hubs together like a sandwich with the pin in the center. The area where the pin is at is just enough for the pin and does not allow any play. So in short, the hubs are screwed together and the pin holds it in place on the shaft.
Danielhr77: I was so close to using that hub! But I thought to myself, "wouldn't that hub "walk" its way out off the shaft?" Because there is nothing to keep that hub in place on the pin. Unless you glue it some how. I didn't want to glue or JB weld any thing. So now I see that you have it, how do you keep the hub from sliding off the shaft? And also.. That mod with the reversed arm on the caliper shaft is sweet. It puts more travel distance on the shaft thus pushing the clipper block out further. Just be careful that the servo doesn't strip the plastic arm.
bubble27: You know that would be really cool so I could have more money to do my next mod.
Switch_639: ROFLOL! I will feel like a genius if I can pull off my next mod that I've been drawing up in my head. FRONT BRAKES!
Oh hey, I have seen you on rc universe. I have allways wanted to do the dual brake disk but I never got the money for the extra disk or pads.
No more money for rc trucks I got 1:1 truck
I am yet to try it, but it looks to be perfected so definitely gona give it a shot when I fix mine up...
If you don't like Nitro, you don't like anything!
I only have one question. Did you not have longer screws or something? Because i have yet to see a benefit from drilling holes so that the screws can reach deeper to the other brake hub.
I just see this mod being simpler, cleaner, and more durable if you just used longer screws.
Another decent brake mod would be using pen springs to push out the pads, thus lessening unwanted premature brake disc wear, friction, and it helps make the brakes more controllable (not just locking them up).
I did this trick to my Revo brakes, and it turned my truck into a different animal around corners and in the air.

i think by reversing the outer hub (having the screws sunk into the indention)
locks the inner hub on the pin.....
been there bought that
That is a cool idea. But you do know that hot racing makes it right. http://www.hobbyetc.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?part_id=58791

Actually Noxide400 posted this idea way before Hot Racing started selling it.Originally Posted by oldbikedude
I religiously scower the internet for cool new parts and I noticed hot racing started selling this just recently. ...maybe 3 weeks ago. He posted this thread in October 08.
Awesome idea BTW. when I saw it I ordered the parts to do it myself. I got two aluminum brake hubs by GPM , two carbon fiber discs from NEW ERA , and two INTEGY carbon fiber disc sets just so I could use the titanium pads.
you can imagine my surprise when I saw the that HOT RACING makes it. I bought one right away.
Some one at Hot Racing is probably keepin tabs on this forum for the next big idea. With ideas like Noxide400's I don't blame them.
Just finished this mod!!!! I can't wait to try it out tomorrow!!!!!
Awesome Post Noxide400!!!!!!
T-Maxx was my gateway drug now I am a Jato addict.
Thinking of doing this to my JAto
I wouldn't think about it ...just do it. Or just buy the one Hot Racing makes. trust me you won't be disapointed.
Ran mine for the first time today with the dual brake mod and........I HAVE BRAKES!!!!!!!! Love it works perfectly!!! Thanks again!!!!
T-Maxx was my gateway drug now I am a Jato addict.
Working on it redmacjetti.. was trying not to do the work...lol but is inevitable ..
WOW! Its been forever since I've been in here. I have notice that a lot of people have been using this mod. I have been really busy with college for the past 8 months. I thought I'd come back and get some feed back on my mod from you guys since I haven't been here to post my results. I see that Hot Racing has made a beautiful kit from my design. Maybe they can send me one and I can write a review on it. I'm glad to see my work has been of good use. Let me know how my brakes are working for you guys.
can we do a step by step on how to do your mod thanks joey
just get the complete kit, no need to mod,Originally Posted by Joey32
Slash PE & Ja-two.
still one of my fav mods ever....
after he posted this... i did mine.... no need for buying the kit....
xspecially when i am sure all of you have the extra parts layin around....
been there bought that
Any idea what holds the X hub on the shaft? Or, instead of being slotted on the back like stock, is it just a hole, then the set screw on the end of the X applies pressure to the pin and locks it in... that's probably what it is, guess I had to type it to see it!Originally Posted by RC-Crazy
Expert rigging at it's best!
Just did the Hot Racing install last week, along with arm and throttle linkage. You got it right. The set screw holds pressure on it. Works like a champ so far.
Bought the stuff to do my conversion tonight. It cost me about $10 at towerhobbies for the pad set and disc. I'll update with results and pics.
Hey All, first post! Had my Jato a month now! Love it! Hate the brakes! I picked it up form my boss! Rad boss hey?! In the last month I have destroyed 2 front arms, the transfer case(the turn buckle riped it out.) and a front shock.
I honestly feel this is bc the weak breaks. Well... That and the learning curve.
I have just bought the parts to do this mod. To bad winter just hit today...
I come from a successful cross country mountain biking and a very sucsessfull down hill mountain bike racing background.
Rule #1
Never go faster than you can stop!
No one ever posted before and after video should I after the mod?
**Watch the language. Anytime ** replace words you wrote the language filter has removed the words for a reason. Edit them out.**

Sorry if anyone has been waiting for a video, not done the mod yet... And video. Well on ice probably would not do it justious. I also just bought the ken block fiesta! !!!
Helpful. I will do this once I get mine running
WOOOOOOOOWWW that guy is smart good thinking hope it goes well.
wow that is an awsome mod.noxide400.i was thinking of getting the dual aluminium discs but the over heat and melt the plastic around the brake system.thanks
thank you for this im gonna name my child after you.
