The MaxiComfort line introduces zero gravity technology in a lift chair. This zero gravity technology allows the legs to be elevated above the heart which creates an open angle between torso and thighs. This helps relieve pressure on the lower back because your back is in the correct resting position. Another benefit of this positioning is easier breathing due to lung capacity expansion, created by the opening between the torso and the thighs. This position also helps improve circulation and minimizes stress on the heart.

|MJ from Indianapolis, IN would recommend this to a friend.
|A Little About Myself
|Spouse & Caregiver of stroke survivor
Purchased a Golden lift chair to lift legs higher than normally possible. This has dramatically reduced swelling in the legs.
|None that I can think of.
|Service & Delivery
|Service and delivery were both great. No problems at all.
|I purchased this for my husband who is paralyzed on the left from a stroke. It was a great purchase! Transfers are going great thanks to the ability to get the seat of the chair higher and closer to his bottom.

|A Little About Myself
|Average Health
|Safe, sturdy, and lightweight
|I have a back condition that I can count on to lay me up 2-4 weeks every year. My new liftchair, while very comfortable for every day seating, will be invaluable for those times when sitting and getting in and out of a chair or my bed is difficult and very painful.

|An ideal chair and an ideal salesman!
Feb 23, 2010 12:15 PM
|n/a from Fair Lawn, New Jersey would recommend this to a friend.
|A Little About Myself
|Comfortable. Safe. Sturdy. Rather. Good-looking.
|Service & Delivery
|The salesman "walked me through" the selection of the chair, patiently and efficiently; he made me feel confident in my choice. He really helped me to get what I needed.
|The patient does not have to strain his back to get up and down, which was a fundamental problem as the result of a fall. As the compression fracture heals, using the chair has not diminished, because it is a great place for a nap!

You're the leader of South Africa, taking one of your three first ladies on a trip to India to try to boost investment ties and south-to-south cooperation, and to remind one of the world's emerging powers that your country is an emerging power, too.
You hardly need to point out that in just a few days, you'll be holding the World Cup soccer tournament, the ultimate coming-out party for emerging nations. And then one of your aides hands you a printout of a South African newspaper. It's a story alleging that your first lady (the one sitting next to you) may have been having an affair with her bodyguard and became pregnant his child just before the bodyguard committed suicide.
You look at your wife. She looks at her plate of kebabs.
It's an untimely scandal, the kind that would force almost anyone but Bill Clinton to resign. But for President Jacob Zuma, a man of the people who came to power despite a corruption scandal, an acquittal in a rape case, and despite admitting that he thought that a shower after sex would protect him from contracting HIV from an HIV-positive sex partner, who was not his spouse, scandal has become the new numbing norm.
His party has a lock on power – winning 65 percent of the vote in the last elections – so nobody expects Mr. Zuma or his party to be forced out of office. But it does potentially sap a man who already has enough big issues – such as race relations, a high crime rate, and endemic poverty – to sort out. [Editor's note: The original version misstated the percent of the vote that Zuma's party, the African National Congress, received in the last elections.]
For the record, the Zuma family contends that there is no scandal. Zuma's nephew, Khulubuse Zuma, says that the letter – purported to be written by members of the Zuma family, and reprinted in the City Press, alleging that Nompumelelo Ntuli Zuma "cannot be called to order" and has been carrying on an affair with her own bodyguard Phinda Thomo and may be pregnant with his baby – was simply a forgery, an attempt by Zuma's enemies to damage his reputation.
But all the denials in the world won't make the story go away.
This weekend, brothers of MaNtuli – as the wife is known – admitted that they had presented a white goat to Zuma as an apology for an unspecified misdemeanor. And the scandal seems to be causing friction between MaNtuli and Zuma's other wives, Thobeka Madiba and Sizakhele Khumalo.
It's a story that seems to come custom-made for British tabloids, which love to catch politicians with their pants down. But it has also exposed a nascent feminist streak among African women columnists, some of whom are saying: "What is good for the goose is good for the gander."
One columnist in the City Press quoted an expert at the Umsamo African Institute, Velaphi Mkhize, as saying, "Men today do not value what they have at home and if you do not give your wife the respect she deserves, she is going to look for it elsewhere."

As you may know, last January I traveled to Liberia with a team from MiiR to document the clean water wells they are funding in areas that don't have access to safe water. It was an incredible experience for many reasons, but it also opened my eyes to a much bigger world than the one I live in on a typical day. A lot has gone on and been discussed in the past year since I went on that trip, and one of the many things I came away with was a newfound excitement and desire to help educate and inspire others to bring about positive change by using the unique gifts we all possess. I really love the work I get to create as a commercial photographer, and I find myself laughing a lot which is such a blessing. But because of my experience in Liberia, I have decided that I want to be about something much bigger than myself. I want my brand to be something people not only associate with creative photography and portraits, but also with a love for justice and for others. I am still processing what this all means, and how it will play out, but one thing I know is that I would like to be involved in at least one campaign per year where I can help tell a story that needs to be heard. I want to be a voice for the voiceless, and help those who can't help themselves. Even though my efforts have been focused on overseas projects so far, I believe there are stories and challenges right here in Seattle that need to be brought to our attention as well. I think there is something to be said about traveling overseas, and getting out of ones comfort zone though. It is good to experience new challenges and different cultures, but I hope to also find stories to be involved with in the States at some point also. Unfortunately, the story I am going to document in the Philippines is also a serious problem right here in Seattle.
That being said, at the end of the month, I will be traveling to the Philippines with an organization called Arts Aftercare. It is a nonprofit bringing the arts to survivors of slavery, which was started by my college friends Curtis and Grace Romjue. The purpose of the trip is to train care workers in a new art therapy curriculum which will be introduced to survivors of sexual slavery. I will be photographing survivors, youth advocates, and trying to tell the story of what life is like for people who are trapped in slavery, as well as those who have been freed. Thankfully, I will be traveling with my good friend and filmmaker Eric Becker who will be telling the same story through video. It will be a collaborative effort, and I am really excited to start working on this so we can shine a light in the dark places of the world. I was shocked to recently find out that modern day slavery is a bigger problem today than slavery has ever been in the history of the world. What's even worse is that not only are many of the slaves children, but they are forced into sex 10 to 20 times a day.
A friend of mine emailed me me a video this morning about a girl who had been sold by her mother into sexual slavery. I could only watch about 2 minutes of it before I turned it off. This sucks. I hate reading about this stuff, and it is beyond sad. What is wrong with people? is the question I find myself repeating over and over. I leave in less than a month, and I thought I should start writing about my thoughts as this assignment approaches. My hope is that some of you will be inspired to take action, and in turn tell your personal network about the work that needs to be done. I also feel like I need to do what I can to prepare myself for what I will be confronted with. As my wife reminded me today, I tend to cover my ears and walk out of the room when I hear her nurse friends talking about something that makes me queazy. I guess if I am being honest, I like to be comfortable, and I don't like to be burdened. Not really the best way to live life, as nobody ever said life was meant to be comfortable. I also feel like you never know what is possible until you put something out there.
I know there are many of you who are already involved in fighting modern day slavery through organizations like International Justice Mission and others. My hope is that by sharing this, some of you may feel inclined to help fight for justice by giving of your unique gifts. Maybe you are a medical worker, a writer, a teacher… The possibilities are endless. We are also still looking for funding for a portion of this trip, so there is also a financial need at this point. If you are interested in becoming involved, you can write me (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Curtis Romjue (email@example.com / www.artsaftercare.org). You can donate through the Arts Aftercare donation page and mention this trip in the comment field aftercare.org/donate. If you have any experience with social justice, or working around such a heavy situation, I would love to hear from you. It's going to be a difficult trip, and I know I am going to need help and encouragement.
Thanks for reading. I hope to share more about this soon.

WACO Title Company ("WACO Title") and Pavaso, Inc. ("Pavaso") recently completed Arkansas' first full e-notary closing since the Arkansas Legislature passed The Arkansas Electronic Notary Public Act in early 2017. WACO Title is an Arkansas-based title and settlement services company servicing Arkansas and Missouri. Pavaso is a provider of digital closing and collaboration solutions for the mortgage and real estate lifecycle.
The closing took place in the new WACO Title Headquarters in Springdale, Ark., and the real estate transfer document was electronically signed, notarized, and filed in the public records of Washington County.
"The idea of moving the closing process to a more electronic experience for consumers has been in the works for over a decade," said Patrick Curry, president & CEO, WACO Title. "Waco Title and Pavaso have been among the leaders in this movement, which empowers the consumer and transforms the closing experience into one built upon transparency and efficiency. We look forward to continuing to utilize e-closing and e-notary technologies to benefit our customers and improve efficiencies."
Curry also said Waco Title has 30 associates certified by the Arkansas Secretary of State with e-Notary commissions.
The e-closing process gained speed in Arkansas recently as the Arkansas Secretary of State began the process of commissioning e-notaries. In early 2017, the Arkansas General Assembly passed the Arkansas Electronic Notary Public Act, defining many standards necessary to protect the legitimacy of e-signed and e-notarized documents in the state.
"We are proud to help lead the way in making the e-Notary and e-Closing processes mainstream, and WACO Title is a proven ground breaker in these fields as well," said Mark McElroy, CEO of Pavaso. "We are collaborating with government and the private sector in numerous states to make the process the norm, rather than the exception. The result is one of compliance, efficiency and accuracy – but most of all, it's simply a smoother process for the consumer."
McElroy further noted that Pavaso is approved in multiple states, including Arkansas, as an e-notary solution provider.
About WACO Title
WACO Title Company has been serving the abstract, title insurance and closing needs of this region since 1885 and employs over 190 highly skilled professionals, including five in-house attorneys, in 21 locations throughout Arkansas and Missouri. WACO Title and its employees are covered by a fidelity bond as well as errors and omissions insurance and maintains in-house title plants in each of the markets they serve. WACO Title's growth and capabilities will continue to afford the people of Missouri and Arkansas a better, more efficient experience with the title and closing process.

As I write this, I am watching a water polo match between Serbia and Australia.
"Why?" you ask.
Because I can.
It's a Wednesday during the final week of the 30th Olympiad of the modern era and I am on vacation. I am allowed to fritter away my time on the couch watching a men's water polo match if I feel like it. I am short of cash, have a nasty head cold and painful sunburn, so the couch is the ideal place for me, even though it's a glorious summer day outside.
I don't even care who wins the water polo match. It's just fun to watch these bulky men wearing Speedos and strange helmets with earmuffs. They lumber around like giant polar bears treading water, drowning each other and waiting for their chance to throw a one-handed laser shot into the net.
Yes, if I am willing to lounge around watching men's water polo in the middle of the day, I am willing to watch just about anything, except maybe women's synchronized swimming. Their athleticism is amazing, but I am put off by their theatrical makeup (bright red lipstick and heavy eyeliner) and their hair, which is plastered to their heads and wrapped in what appears to be shiny shrink wrap.
There are probably many out there who haven't watched even 30 seconds of the Olympics and may be annoyed by its domination on TV news and prime time programming in the evenings. My daughter, Emily, is not one of them.
"Want to hear my new ring tone? Mom," she said as she stopped by to collect her Dimitri, her little dachshund we dog-sit while she's at work.
She pressed a button or two on her Smartphone and held it to me ear. There was the triumphant sound of trumpets and I recognized it immediately as the Olympic theme music used by NBC in all of its broadcasts from the London games.
"I love it!" I said.
"Me too," Emily gushed. "I've been watching it so much."
Her love of the Olympics is rooted in childhood. My husband, Dan, and I always took our summer vacation in the weeks the Olympics were being broadcast. We would stay in a tiny rental at York Beach with Emily and her little sister, Ellie, and watch the games every evening on a crummy, 13-inch TV screen that was in its death throes with the screen periodically blinking into black and white, no color. We still watched, and after soft serve ice creams, the girls would fall asleep to the Olympic theme music.
Leslie, one of my coworkers, is having a similar family experience with her sons during these London games as they gather in front of the TV set each evening. Her one worry?
"I hope I don't weigh 900 pounds by the closing ceremonies," she laughs as she chucks imaginary popcorn into her mouth to demonstrate her Olympic snacking style.
A 900-pound weigh gain in two weeks is highly unlikely for Leslie, but I feel where she's coming from. I, too, have had to use Olympian willpower and wads of chewing gum to resist numerous trips to the kitchen. The urge to chew comes not from hunger, but from nerves as I watch beloved U.S. Olympians from gymnasts Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman to swimmers Michael Phelps and Missy Franklin, track and field stars Sanya Richards-Ross, Carmelita Jeter and Allyson Felix and volleyball greats Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings. It only happens once every four years and it's been amazing as always.
When I think about why I like the Olympics so much, like Emily, it is deeply rooted in my childhood. My older brother, Jackie, loved all sports. He would get inspired by the Olympics and set up a makeshift track and field venue in our backyard. One of the events was Jack's version of the high jump, a hybrid somewhere between the high jump and a gymnastics vault. He built a ramp using an old wooden box and a wide plank with plenty of spring to it. Then he would string a jump rope across two poles near the ramp. We had to spring off the plank and clear the jump rope. If we cleared one height, we had to go a little bit higher on the following round. There was no safety mat on the ground below and I did plenty of face plants. I don't know where my parents were.
But despite so many agonies of defeat, I also remember flying over the rope and imagining I had won the gold medal. I was always the shortest kid in school and to spring off that board and soar through the air made be feel like a champion even when I landed in the mud.
I am no Olympian, but have succeeded in recapturing that feeling of exhilaration during pickup tennis games, skiing, and even just going for a brisk walk.
Here's to the Games and finding your personal best.

Demonstration of the Upgraded Line of GRACO Units by SMARTEC and JOTUN
On 21 June 2012, during the monthly technical days, there was another SMART-DEMO workshop in Russia. The main focus of the meeting was to demonstrate the capabilities of the newly upgraded units Graco Mark Max™ and DutyMax™ used with JOTUN materials.
The new Graco MARK VII™ MAX Platinum became a "celebrity" during the workshop. It should be mentioned that the visitors got acquainted with an exclusive model – it was one of 135 units decorated with a spray painting of the American flag by artist Lenny Schwarz. Engineers of the SMARTEC Technical Center discussed with visitors all the newly upgraded features of the equipment which considerably improve operation. Thus, the operators who work at height appreciated the E-Control™ function – a remote control panel, which allows the control of pressure from any location. During the first cleaning of the brand-new unit, everyone was pleased with the automatic system FastFlush™, which enhances the cleaning function and minimizes the need for additional filter cleaning. People who carried out traditional coatings by themselves to test the equipment praised the QueekReel™ function – an integrated reel that holds 30 m of standard hose, which makes it possible to carry the heavy coating hose and not to waste time and effort on its coiling. For those who never tried such equipment, SMARTEC engineers provided a brief step-by-step training and focused their attention on specifics in setting-up the unit as well as general approaches to coating.
During the demonstration, high-quality antirust coating materials produced by JOTUN were used:
- Conseal Touch-Up – a fast-drying thick-layer acrylic primer for tanks which can be applied directly on steel.
- Jotamastic 87 – a two-component, surface friendly, abrasion resistant, thick-layer epoxy coating with a high solid residue. It is used to protect steel surfaces in places where it is impossible to do sandblasting.
- Tankguard 412 – a two-component, solvent-free epoxy coating used for anti-corrosion protection of the interior of oil tanks and to reduce friction on the inside of gas pipes.
MARK VII MAX PLATINUM performed with excellence with lighter materials, with two-component materials with high solid residue (82 per cent), and even with 100 per cent solid residue material. The unit demonstrated its efficiency by supporting pressure at the needed level (as well as when the nozzles were replaced with the larger ones), and also reduced material consumption and increased speed of work.
SMARTEC engineers also demonstrated the new Graco DUTYMAX 200 and its main upgrades such as the changeout of the Endurance pump at the front of the machine. Such a location provides direct suction which prevents loss of material in the supply hose and loss of suction pressure, especially important when using viscous materials. Visitors also experienced the advantages of the ProConnect™ system when they replaced the Endurance pump themselves without any tools right on the job.
That SMART-DEMO workshop again showed the high quality of Graco units and the importance of face-to-face dialogue between end-users, material and equipment experts.
SMARTEC expresses its gratitude to JOTUN and their official dealer POKROF for the materials and assistance during the workshop. We cordially invite manufacturers and suppliers of materials to contact us in view of holding joint workshops.
In case of any questions please call us at 7 /343/ 278-71-01 /02,03/
SMARTEC. Results Rule!

Two stolen Gibbon Monkeys have been found in Florida after being taken from a home in Doniphan, Nebraska, officials said.
The pet monkeys were found in Fort Myers after their owner, Nancy Stephens, called her local sheriff's office saying she suspected the 20-year-old twin brothers, who lived with her during the summer, had taken them, according to a Lee County Sheriff's Office news release.
Meanwhile, Deborah Misotti, the owner of The Talking Monkey Project in Clewiston, Fla., knew both Stephens and the twins through Facebook, where she heard about the theft. She was able to convince the twins, Michael and Jacob Ruehlman, to take her the monkeys, the release said.
"I explained to them that it was not going to go away. They were hoping to sneak the Gibbons back to Nebraska," Misotti told NBC2 News.
They arranged to meet at a Waffle House at Interstate 75 and Palm Beach Boulevard Thursday, but as the twins were driving over, deputies recognized their vehicle and stopped them, the release said. In the backseat, they found a cage with the two monkeys inside.
The monkeys, which require special licenses and permits, can cost $20,000 to $30,000, one pet store owner told NBC2 News. The brothers said they took them because they felt they weren't being treated well.
The Ruehlmans were arrested and charged with dealing in stolen property. They also face charges from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission for not having the proper permits to deal with endangered animals, as well as possible charges from the Hall County Sheriff's Office in Nebraska.
The monkeys were taken to a sanctuary for safe-keeping during the investigation.

When writing about the Vola Glider, Monte Design cleverly says, "We took our most popular glider and decided to wing it." By their most popular glider, they are naturally talking about their bestselling Luca Glider. With its clean lines and gorgeous and stain-resistant fabrics, this chair has become synonymous with luxurious nursery furniture.
Now, we also offer the Vola Glider by Monte Design, an elegant and inviting nursing chair that we are already in love with. Like the Luca Glider, the Vola is ergonomically-designed to pamper hard-working parents with its generous seating and plush padding. It also features the Monte gliding mechanism that will allow you to rock your baby to sleep. The arm height is perfectly sized to make feedings super comfortable and there is an excellent head rest so you can take it easy, anytime.
Constructed of high-quality and durable soft upholstery with a maple wood base, the Vola Glider is beautifully handmade in Canada and will become a favorite investment over the years. Besides the chair's total practicality for feedings, it's also gorgeous with its combination of classic and modern aesthetics. Originally, winged chairs offered the sitter protection from chilly drafts. Now, though we have ever-so convenient heating systems, the design is nostalgic and makes a bold statement with its modern clean lines and premier, stain-resistant fabrics.
It doesn't stop there – you can customize your Vola Glider colors, ensuring you get the perfect glider in every aspect. The chair itself comes in a variety of colors, and for added flair, you can also opt to add a contrasting color for the lumbar support pillow. Lumbar support pillows are available in each of the colors shown for the Glider. Special requests for pillow colors can be specified in the "additional information" field during the checkout process. If you have any questions about this item, please feel free to contact us and we would be happy to answer your questions.
Please note: This item requires a $99 oversized shipping charge.

you know you remember that song. you know you are singing it in your head. go ahead. admit it.
conjunction junction what's your function...
i digress....
so this evening i am in hellmart trying to get a few things. (oh all their danskin stuff is on sale) and the BFF calls. in the convo the whole 'you know Big'R's function is tonight' gets thrown out there. to say the least BFF is not on her game right now. not feeling well and such. so i offer to just drive the five midgets and us out there. yea know. being the bestest asstastic friend there is. (haha)
the whole way home thinking oh jeez. what? you know school functions are not always the best.
so we get back, stuff unloaded, seven of us crammed into the trusty KIA Rondo and head out to the school. the ride was full of the usual 'i am hot' 'i am fweezing' 'i don wanna sit by huuur' dialog. we get there and get Big'R dropped of and go in and sit in the cafeteria. we get the usual run down from the teacher that you can tell is just a bit frazzled. either from coordinating the function or just because she has to deal with 5th graders all day. and we are turned loose to enjoy. at this point all you can think is help me Big G i have four kids to walk around with and there are elevendybazillion people here. please let me keep it together and not have to kill anyone. i am pretty sure if i do my kid will so NOT be the cool one. and half a minute into it a realization comes over me...totally unexpected...this is kinda neat. holdthephonepeople!! this is a school function. they are not supposed to be fun, or neat, or cool. but it really was.
the whole deal was about famous americans. so each student (costume and all) was dressed up as someone viewed as influential in america. everyone from Dona Marina to Mia Hamm was there. it was neat. the kids had a memorized spheel to say when you dropped a quarter (dollar, or whatever money you preferred) into their container. the outfits were amazing, the props were awesome, and the kids were fabulous! i have to say i totally enjoyed the experience. and it brightened my heart a bit to think that kids were still having to learn the same boring things we had to. overall it was a great little ditty.
i will include that halfway through i may or may not have lost my five year old. justsaying. oh hush it! it was a safe environment with tons of people that i know/knew. i did get a tiny bit of a start in my heart though. i do kinda like her ya know.
yeah. me too.
shock and awe people. shock and awe.
Big'R did a great job. and i am proud of her. she seemed to actually enjoy it not just grit her teeth and get through it. all of the kids did actually. a few were scared. and would get lost in their spheel's. but hey that would be a bit disarming to me too. so kuddos to the kiddos!! and good job Big'R...your YaYa is uber proud.

It's Fujinsei's 2nd blog anniversary! Yay yay! Wohoo!! I can't believe that it has only been 2 years. It feels like I've been doing this for a looooong time. Ehehehehe~
Fujinsei looks and feels so different now compared to when I created it 2 years ago. Two years ago, I was more focused on throwing my opinions out into the open and searching my own blogging style. Fast forward to this day and I'm amazed how Fujinsei evolved from a mere personal blog into a community-oriented one that supports a small but close-knit circle of anibloggers. Of course given the variety of topics here, I attract different kinds of readers to whom I'll always be grateful. However, I'm most thankful to my awesome blogging buddies—Friends of Fujinsei & fellow members of the cuckoo Lyndere Club—and also other anibloggers who regularly connect with me. And of course special thanks to my Fujinsei Team for contributing your enthusiasm and thoughts to my humble blog. A huge ARIGATOU from the bottom of my heart.
I'm also delighted that I finally found my own blogging style. My posts have become more and more outrageous and opinionated, and I'm damn proud of them. My blogging style is still imperfect, but with every post I publish and with every subscriber I interact with, I polish it more and more (hopefully). Fujinsei is still evolving, whether it's for better or worse remains to be seen. In the meantime, I'm focusing on enjoying myself.
On a different note, there have been increasingly insistent suggestions these past few months for me to move to a self-hosted site for more control and profit, but at the moment I'm not sorry to say that I'm not interested. I may change my mind in the future—who knows?—but I'm currently happy and satisfied with WordPress.com as my blog's home. "Such a shame. You're wasting your blog's full potential." ← Perhaps I'm still too inexperienced to really understand what these words mean, but what I do understand is how I'm having tons of fun blogging here at the moment.
I still have a long way to go, but I'm constantly learning with my fellow bloggers providing inspiration. I pray that I'll be able to blog here for more years to come. This is just the beginning, and I invite you all to continue with me on this wonderful blogging journey. Thank you very much for your support and friendship. Happy Anniversary to Fujinsei! Cheers!

Lazy Saturday Afternoon News ReadsPosted: February 9, 2013 Filed under: Barack Obama, U.S. Economy, U.S. Politics | Tags: assassination policy, Christopher Dorner, Climate change, Depression, drones, DSM V, extreme weather, sequester 34 Comments
Good Afternoon!!
It's a perfect day to curl up with a great detective novel. As you can see, Michael Caine up there is deeply engrossed in Raymond Chandler's Farewell My Lovely. Chandler is terrific for those of us who are connoisseurs of the hard-boiled school of mystery writers; I think his masterpiece was The Long Goodbye. I've read it multiple times. Here are a few great one-liners from the book:
"I was as hollow and empty as the spaces between stars."
"The girl gave him a look which ought to have stuck at least four inches out of his back."
"I belonged in Idle Valley like a pearl onion on a banana split."
"A man who drinks too much on occasion is still the same man as he was sober. An alcoholic, a real alcoholic, is not the same man at all. You can't predict anything about him for sure except that he will be someone you never met before."
"The French have a phrase for it. The bastards have a phrase for everything and they are always right. To say goodbye is to die a little."
Years later, another hard-boiled detective novelist, Ross MacDonald, wrote a kind of paeon to The Long Goodbye called The Goodbye Look, which I also enjoyed and have read more than once.
These days I tend to prefer female detectives and women writers, but I still prefer the hard-boiled types over the "cozy" ones.
There's not a whole lot of exciting news out there, but I have a variety of recent reads for you to delve into today if you choose.
I wish John Boehner and Mitch McConnell would read this article in today's New York Times, although it probably wouldn't begin to melt their cold cold hearts: Restored Payroll Tax Pinches Those Who Earn the Least.
Jack Andrews and his wife no longer enjoy what they call date night, their once-a-month outing to the movies and a steak dinner at Logan's Roadhouse in Augusta, Ga. In Harlem, Eddie Phillips's life insurance payment will have to wait a few more weeks. And Jessica Price is buying cheaper food near her home in Orlando, Fla., even though she worries it may not be as healthy.
Like millions of other Americans, they are feeling the bite from the sharp increase in payroll taxes that took effect at the beginning of January. There are growing signs that the broader economy is suffering, too.
Chain-store sales have weakened over the course of the month. And two surveys released last week suggested that consumer confidence was eroding, especially among lower-income Americans.
While these data points are preliminary — more detailed statistics on retail sales and other trends will not be available until later this month — at street level, the pain from the expiration of a two-percentage-point break in Social Security taxes in 2011 and 2012 is plain to see.
"You got to stretch what you got," said Mr. Phillips, 51, a front-desk clerk and maintenance man for a nonprofit housing group who earned $22,000 last year. "That little $20 or $30 affects you, especially if you're just making enough money to stay above water." So he has taken to juggling bills, skipping a payment on one this month and another next month.
Don't I know it!
President Obama used his Saturday radio address to once again poke Congress to deal with the upcoming "sequester" cuts.
"If the sequester is allowed to go forward, thousands of Americans who work in fields like national security, education or energy are likely to be laid off," he said. "All our economic progress could be put at risk."
Mr. Obama's remarks echoed a statement issued by the White House Friday that warned the sequester would "threaten thousands of jobs and the economic security of the middle class."
But, as usual, Republicans are blaming Obama for the problem.
"We know the President's sequester will have consequences," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement this week. "What we don't know is when the President will propose a plan to replace the sequester with smarter spending cuts and reforms."
I hope President Obama reads this op-ed in The Washington Post by Georgetown constitutional law professor David Cole. Cole is the author of the recent book The Torture Memos: Rationalizing the Unthinkable.
There are plenty of problems with President Obama's targeted killings in the war against terrorism: The policy remains secret in most aspects, involves no judicial review, has resulted in the deaths of innocent civilians, has been employed far from any battlefield and has sparked deep anti-American resentment in countries where we can ill afford it.
But when it comes to the particular legal issue raised in a recently leaked "white paper" from the Justice Department — namely, whether it is legal to kill Americans with drones — one problem looms largest: The policy permits the government to kill its citizens in secret while refusing to acknowledge, even after the fact, that it has done so.
There may be extraordinary occasions when killing a citizen is permissible, but it should never be acceptable for the government to refuse to acknowledge the act. How can we be free if our government has the power to kill us in secret? And how can a sovereign authority be accountable to the people if the sovereign can refuse to own up to its actions?
Cole likens Obama's assassination policy to the "disappearances" in Argentina in the 1970s.
When Argentina's military junta secretly abducted and killed its citizens during that country's "dirty war" in the 1970s, the world labeled these acts "disappearances" and condemned them as violations of human rights. A disappearance is not just an abduction or killing, but an unacknowledged abduction or killing. To "disappear" citizens not only deprives them of their liberty or life without fair process but is deeply corrosive of democratic politics, casting a shadow of fear over all.
Please read the whole thing if you can.
I liked this piece by Gary Gutting at The New York Times, despite my initial hesitation to read anything by a professor at Notre Dame. I finally decided I shouldn't condemn him by association over the ND football team scandals. Headlined "Depression and the Limits of Psychiatry," it's a philosophical discussion of the upcoming changes in the definition of depression in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual.

It's August 26, the day we keep hearing something about a hurricane that's apparently headed for New York City. Photo courtesy Trey, via @sportsfeeder1. Got any stories or photos for us? Tip your editors.
Here we go with the new WUD, Take II, though I'm not going to serenade you quite like A.J. did in this spot yesterday morning, enjoyable though that was.
So Derek Jeter timed his break-up with Minka Kelly to coincide with the hurricane and with the Yankees hitting three grand slams in one day. Or was it Derek Jeter who hit three grand slams in the middle of a hurricane while Minka Kelly attended a Yankee game in the nude? Help me out. All I know is everybody's freaking out, and it's all so confusing.
What You'll Read Today on Deadspin
• The second and final installment of Drew's Hater's Guide To Fantasy Football, which covers the NFC, is coming your way later this morning. The AFC edition, posted yesterday, can be found here.
• Our intern, David Roher, is heading back to college. But not before we post his mathematical analysis of the cost of hookers, which he probably ought to expand into a larger essay called "What I Did At Deadspin This Summer."
• Craggs made his way into ESPN's State of the Union meeting yesterday, at least until he was discovered and asked to leave the premises. But he lived to tell about it, and you don't want to miss his full report.
• The latest edition of Drunken Hookup Failure.
• We're gonna have some more fun with ESPN's White-Black-White Michael Vick, too. Just 'cause.
Good morning. It's Friday, and it's the calm before the storm. Stay awhile.

CO House passes ammo limits amid GOP opposition
DENVER – New ammunition limits and universal background checks passed the Colorado House on Monday, during a second day of emotional debates that has drawn attention from the White House as lawmakers try to address recent mass shootings.
The Democratic-controlled House approved a ban on large-capacity magazines, placing a limit of 15 rounds for firearms, and eight for shotguns. Three Democrats joined all Republicans voting no on the bill, but the proposal passed 34-31.
"Enough is enough. I'm sick and tired of bloodshed," said Democratic Rep. Rhonda Fields, a sponsor of the bill and representative of the district where the shootings at an Aurora theater happened last summer.
Republicans opposed the measure and others up for a final vote in the House, saying they restrict Second Amendment rights and won't prevent mass shootings.
"This bill will never keep evil people from doing evil things," said Republican Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg, of Sterling.
The House also approved a bill requiring background checks on all gun purchases, including those between private sellers and firearms bought online. Democrats were more unified in their support of that bill, with only one of their members voting against it in the 36-29 vote.
Other proposals would ban concealed firearms on colleges, and require that gun purchasers pay for their own background checks.
The Senate still needs to consider the proposals.
Lawmakers began the debate on the bills Friday, when they gave initial approval to the bills, setting up the final recorded votes Monday. Vice President Joe Biden called four Democrats on Friday during a daylong debate on the measures, including two freshmen legislators in moderate districts, to solidify support for the bills.
Democratic Rep. Dominick Moreno, who represents a district in suburban Denver, said Biden "emphasized the importance of Colorado's role in shaping national policy around this issue."
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

- Use orange ink with the Stampin' Up!™ Polka-Dot Punches Stamp Set and stamp one side of golden yellow card stock. Cut card stock into a 5 ½" x 11" rectangle; score and fold in half.
- Using a Stampin' Up!™ 1" circle punch, punch two circles from mint green card stock.
- Next, cut a 4" x 6" rectangle from hot pink card stock. Use a small scallop stencil and create a scalloped edge around the perimeter of the rectangle.
- Using a Stampin' Up!™ flower punch, cut two flowers from periwinkle card stock.
- Cut a 2 ½" x 3" rectangle from sand print paper.
- Center the scalloped edged hot pink paper on top of folded yellow paper. Glue into place with a glue stick.
- Measure one inch down from the top of the scalloped edge of the hot pink card stock and lightly draw a 2 ¼" x 2" rectangle. Open the card and lay flat. Use a craft knife and cut an opening along the outline of the rectangle. This will create a window in the front of the card.
- Glue the sand printed paper to the inside of the card so that it appears centered inside the window.
- Place a dollop of hot glue in the center of the mint green circles and sprinkle with ultra fine green glitter, cool and dry.
- To assemble flower, adhere a mint green circle to the center of the periwinkle flower, using a Stampin' Up!™ Pop Dot™, make two.
- Apply assembled flowers to the card with Pop Dots™ just below the window.
Flip Flops
- Make photocopies of the above patterns. Using scissors, cut-out pattern pieces, staying on the inside of the pattern outline.
- Place pattern pieces on the colored sheet glass indicated above. Trace around the outside edge of the pattern using a Sharpie® Marker.
- To cut glass, start at one edge of the glass; place the cutter perpendicular to the glass.
- Glass likes to be cut from edge to edge. Apply consistent medium pressure and push the cutter across the glass, following the pattern line to the opposite glass edge, this is called a score. A good score appears as a continuous scratch on the surface. Break/run score with running pliers. Continue to score and break the glass until the pattern is completely cut. Clean glass using paper towel moistened with water. Completely dry the surface of the glass with a lint free cloth. NOTE: More cutting tips can be found on www.diamondtechcrafts.com.
- Next, cut a 2" X 2" piece of kiln paper. Remove the lid from the Fuseworks™ Kiln. Place the kiln paper on the kiln base.
- Layer the glass on the kiln paper, transparent yellow first; embellished with the blue opalescent glass, creating the flip flop straps (see FIG. 2).
- Carefully set the base with glass inside the microwave. Cover with kiln lid.
- Fuse, in a 1200 WATT microwave at 100% power for 2 minutes. PLEASE NOTE: All microwave and kiln combinations will have different firing patterns. Be sure to take careful notes and log all fusing times for future use. For lower WATT microwaves, increase time by one minute.
- After time is up, open microwave and, using Hot Mitts, carefully lift the lid enough to inspect the fusing process. Glass should have nicely rounded edges. Add additional time in 15-30 second increments until desired results are achieved.
- Remove kiln from microwave using the Hot Mitts and place on a heat resistant surface.
- Cool the kiln for at least 30 minutes WITHOUT REMOVING LID. PLEASE NOTE: Removing the lid or peeking under the lid during the cooling will result in your piece cracking. Glass remains hot for a long time and should be handled with great caution.
- Once cooled, use E6000 to glue a pin back on the back side and allow drying according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
- Place the pin in the window of the card, mark with a pencil and use a safety pin to create two holes for the pin back to go through.
- Wear safety goggles when using glass crafting tools.
- Always read and follow kiln safety rules and warnings before beginning this project.

Dominic Turgeon following in his father and late sister's footsteps
There's an interesting story in The Hockey News about upcoming NHL draftees Dominic Turgeon and Ryan MacInnes, the sons of former stars Pierre and Al. Both centers from Canada's major-junior system, Ryan MacInnes is Central Scouting's No. 20-ranked North American skater, and Turgeon is 97th. The each made strong jumps from the mid-term (winter) rankings and figure to be selected relatively early in the upcoming draft.
Dominic Turgeon, 18, is another product of Colorado youth hockey. He lived in the Denver area since age 9, beginning in 2005 when his father finished out the last stint of his 515-goal NHL career with the Avalanche. Dominic played for the Littleton Hawks and Colorado Thunderbirds, and Pierre helped coach when he could. Wonderful family that still resides in the area. Dominic, who plays for the WHL's Portland Winterhawks and was teammates with Seth Jones last season, is the only boy among four siblings, but his late older sister, Elizabeth, was also an elite hockey player. (Excellent story here about Liz being honored by 2014 U.S. Olympian Lyndsey Fry, her former teammate with the Colorado Select, before and during the Sochi Games.)

RF Payload Systems Laboratories
What are they for?
ESA's RF Payload Systems Laboratories are a set of facilities performing research related to the broad range of systems using radio frequencies (RF) for both the space and the ground segments.
Satellites of all kinds have one central characteristic in common. To fulfil their various purposes, they all have to reach out beyond themselves either to receive commands, transmit scientific findings, relay telecommunications, perform remote sensing or, increasingly, deliver precision navigation and timing data.
From Sputnik 1 onwards, the preferred technique to implement all those functionalities has been what is commonly known as radio frequencies. As a matter of fact, radio frequencies have broadband information handling capabilities and the ability to pass freely up and down through Earth's atmosphere.
The RF Payload Systems Laboratories oversee R&D related to the use of radio frequencies. There are four Laboratories in all:
RF Laboratory – Test services related to radio frequency (from few tens of MHz to few hundreds GHz) systems and components, life testing, precision timing tests and characterisation of high-power operation effects.
Radio Navigation Laboratory – performs research on satellite-based navigation systems, in particular supporting the Galileo and EGNOS navigation systems.
RF Remote Sensing Laboratory – evaluates and tests designs for radio-based remote sensing systems such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR), radar altimeters and radiometers.
ESA Telecom Laboratory – R&D related to telecommunications systems and applications, including both ground and space segments.

will.i.am to release 14 megapixel iPhone camera attachment
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Accessories, Apple, Cameras
Will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas fame apparently doesn't think his iPhone is smart enough, so he's planning to do something about it. He's even received a development license from Apple to produce and sell what he claims will turn the iPhone into a "genius phone" under his new i.am+ brand.
We have our own sensor and a better flash. You dock your phone into our device and it turns your smartphone into a genius-phone. We take over the camera...
"I was just hanging out [after a photo shoot], and one of the models took an iPhone picture, which circulated the planet before the shoot was even over... I took one of the photographer's lenses and held it up on my [phone] and said "imagine this one day". Then I said: "I'm going to do this"."
The camera attachment will clips onto the iPhone, bumping the 8 megapixel camera to 14 megapixels. A website is currently being produced (www.i.am) where users will be able to create profiles and assumedly share pictures and other content created with Will.i.am's app.
I.am+ is scheduled to make it's debut in London later this week, where pricing will also be announced.

This is what I told him.
Think of production as the settlement of the earth. All the meetings, schedules, deadlines, various departments and opinions are like the layers of earth that all add up to the big globe of obligations. But there's a fine layer of gold in the midst of all that compacted pressure. It's bright shiny and full of luster! It's your ART! Your art is Golden!
It's that simple act and ability to bring life to a sketch or painting that never existed before. The lines, strokes and decisions you chose to express in your work will always be yours.
We usually have others supervising, i.e. Directors, Heads of studios, and even our loved ones but none of them can make that exact choice you have. So I finished my answer to my friend as "You are an artist and your art is GOLDEN"!
Interestingly that artists' name rhymes with golden.
Here are some of my quick gestures from Monday's class. Take care!

Hey Dave, ZM Shore here again! Im loving the words of wisdom! You know just how to inspire man! I come to you today with another question if you wouldnt mind helping me out. I am currently taking a life drawing class at my local community college and I am pleased to say my sense of anatomy is getting a little better! But I am finding myself limited sometimes. The models themselves do not exactly push poses and I find myself drawing the same pose over and over. So I thought it would be great if instead of always doing nude studies, we could have our models dress up on occasion! Just like they do in traditional Gesture classes. I pitched my idea to my class while explaining what a traditional gesture class was, and just about all the students seemed really into it! My teacher literally said this in response "ZM, you are going to have a lot of sex in your life, and there are many poses in which to have sex, but odds are you wont be using very many of them." YEAH! I KNOW RIGHT?! I am left confused by this and I am not sure what this means. I was hoping you could help me decipher what she is trying to tell me or share some of your sage like advice. If not thanks anyway man and keep posting! Thanks again

Trail Blazers
Tonight, 7
TV: Comcast
Andray Blatche took just two shots in the Brooklyn Nets' 96-89 win over the rival New York Knicks on Monday night at Barclays Center. But on a night that should have been all about the first basketball borough battle, Blatche decided to take two bigger shots at his former team: the Washington Wizards, the organization that is paying him more than $7million of the nearly $8million he will earn this season.
As reporters gathered in the Nets locker room before the game, Blatche asked, "Anybody seen how the Wizards are doing?" Then, after the Nets won and the Wizards lost their 12th straight to start the season, Blatche wrote on his Twitter account, "Feels good to be part of a winning organization."
The comments drew the ire of Wizards fans.
In a radio interview with Holden Kushner and Danny Rouhier on 106.7 The Fan, Blatche lashed at the Wizards for what he felt was a lack of support in his final years with the franchise.
The Wizards ended a seven-year relationship with Blatche in July, when they used the amnesty provision to waive him and give him the $23 million left on his contract. But Blatche said ties were severed well before then and accused the organization of using him as a scapegoat when last season went south.
In his final season in Washington, Blatche had ballooned to more than 280 pounds and was booed at Verizon Center. He felt the organization didn't do enough to shield him.
"They could've explained exactly what was going on," Blatche said. "They could've had my back." percent. And that's what you do with family. That's all I'm saying. If we're family, then act like it."
Asked Tuesday about Blatche, Wizards coach Randy Wittman said: "I'm not going to get into that. We did everything we could to help him, as we will with every player that ever comes here."
Blatche accepted some blame for his shortcomings last season, when he regressed in nearly every statistical category. He blamed his poor conditioning on the lockout and failing to train because he thought the NBA was going to cancel the season. "I was out of shape. ... percent admit that. And that's 100percent on me," he said.
million extension in 2010, Blatche replied, "It's easy to be in somebody's corner when things are good." That's the easiest thing in the world. ... I'm talking about when things are bad, when things are going wrong. That's when you can tell if somebody is on your side or not."
Blatche said he never questioned owner Ted Leonsis' commitment to building a winner in Washington. "He's a first-class guy. I have nothing against him."
Blatche is averaging 8.5 points and 4.8 rebounds as a reserve for the Nets (9-4), who are tied with the Knicks for first place in the Atlantic Division. He signed with the Nets in late September and made the team after a solid performance in preseason.
He said his time in Washington was largely misrepresented. He denied that he had refused to enter a game against the Charlotte Bobcats in March 2010, saying it was a misunderstanding that the Wizards declined to acknowledge publicly and made him look worse.
"They can ask every last one of my teammates here and I guarantee you what they say about me is completely different than what you all think of me in D.C.," he said. "For them to say, 'Oh, he's a bad teammate. He's a cancer in the locker room' ... all that was a bunch of lies."

I am working with an in-line barcode reader that receives commands and sends ASCII data to the client using the socket functionality in Java. I have no problems using PrintStream sending commands or using BufferedReader to receive data from the barcode reader separately. The problem I am currently having is receiving data from the barcode reader immeditately after I send it a command string. For example there is a command string that I can send to the barcode reader and by doing so the barcode reader will return settings in ASCII data.
Here is my code:
try { //Create a connection to server Socket s = new Socket(ipAddress, portNumber); //Create input and output streams to socket PrintStream out = new PrintStream(s.getOutputStream()); //Create input streams to socket BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream())); //send the command string to the barcode reader out.print("sRN LocationName"); //receive data from barcode reader that the command string initiated String line = in.readLine(); System.out.println("Text received: " + line); //close the stream out.close(); //close the stream in.close(); //close the socket s.close(); }catch (SocketException e ) { //for debugging purposes System.err.println ("Socket error : " + e); }catch (UnknownHostException e ) { //for debugging purposes System.err.println ("Invalid host!"); }catch (IOException e ) { //for debugging purposes System.err.println ("I/O error : " + e); }
Everytime I try it I get no return. I know it works because I have tested in Hyperterminal and it works everytime.
Any help is appreciated.

SALINA- The Salina Central Mall and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks, and Tourism (KDWPT) will host a grand re-opening ceremony of the Bruce Zamrzla Memorial Aquarium on May 12, beginning at 1 p.m. and ending at 3 p.m. The Central Mall is located at 2259 S. 9th St. in Salina.
The 15,000-gallon aquarium is 25 feet long and is home to many amazing species of Kansas fish and turtles. The display was originally constructed in 1987 at the urging of Bruce Zamrzla, who was the district fisheries biologist for the area. "Zam," as he was affectionately known, was tragically killed in a car accident on April 19, 1994, but he left an amazing legacy as a resource manager and champion of outdoor education. Fittingly, the aquarium was renamed and dedicated in his honor.
The aquarium has long served as an excellent outdoor education exhibit but in recent years had begun to show its age. As part of the Central Mall's 25th Anniversary, KDWPT and Central Mall teamed up to restore the aquarium to a first-class attraction. The aquarium features new designs and graphics, an educational PowerPoint display, Kansas fisheries videos, and an updated rustic look and feel. The neon fish formerly on the overhead display have been removed and replaced with a structure designed by Melissa Bowell, a commercial art student at Salina Area Technical College. Bowell's design was judged the best in a contest with 24 other entries, and she will receive a $1,000 scholarship award for efforts. An amended version of the design has been created and donated by Kasa Fab and will be unveiled at the re-opening event.
The aquarium also received attention. The fish were transferred to the Milford Hatchery for safe keeping while the aquarium was drained, cleaned, and new filtration and water quality devices were added. The fish are in great shape, and the water is now even more crystal clear than Wilson Lake.
The ceremony on Saturday will include presentations by Central Mall staff and KDWPT Assistant Secretary Keith Sexson. A ribbon cutting will be conducted by the Central Mall, Salina Chamber of Commerce, and KDWPT Fisheries Chief Doug Nygren.
Following, the ceremony, Fishing's Future and the KDWPT Fish KS Aquatic Education Program will host a Kids' Casting Event. All participants will receive prizes, and a drawing will be held for Central Mall gift cards and a framed fish print.

The Eurostar ad will run in print and promote the Eurostar's own transfer fee between the UK and Paris with the tagline, "England's football star just arrived in Paris. Transfer fee: €88*"
The ad was created by the French ad agency CLM BBDO and the white text is underlined by red and is set against a blue background, above a red silhouette of the Eiffel Tower.
At CLM BBDO the copywriter was Vincent Cusenier and the artistic director was Lucie Valloton.
At the bottom of the page, the ad continues, "London-Paris by Eurostar for as little as €88*" and then in the small print, * indicates a return ticket.
Former Manchester United and LA Galaxy midfielder Beckham, who is 37 years old, signed a five-month deal with Paris St Germain for a fee reported to be more than £3m last week, but pledged to give all his wages to charity.

The slice backhand can be a great tool for many different reasons. It can be used in transition to approach the net or when keeping the ball low and allowing time to get into a good volleying position.
It can also be used to mix up the pace during a rally to throw off the opponent's rhythm and force an error or a short ball. And it can be a fantastic tool on defense to buy enough time to get out of trouble and back into a point.
For all of these reasons, having a slice in your arsenal is a big advantage when you go into battle.
The backhand slice technique can be tricky because it requires a certain amount of touch and feel. The traditional grip for a backhand slice would be a continental (the same as for the volley), but some players will vary this slightly depending on what they are more comfortable with.

Turn your shoulders and bring the racket up with the hitting surface of the racket open. Be sure that the elbow is bent and you are not too stiff when executing your slice. This is a common problem and can lead to frustration when trying to learn the slice.
From this position, swing the racket forward and slightly down to the ball, sliding the face of the racket under the ball.
Don't make the swing pattern too steep or you will look like you are chopping down a tree as your slice bounces two feet short of the net.
Swing more out to the ball. Contact should be slightly forward of your front foot. If you are too early, the ball will go straight up, and if you are late, the ball will most likely come off too flat and sail long or wide.
The finish should be with your hand about shoulder high and your racket completely open. Be careful that your body stays turned throughout the stroke. It is common to see some inexperienced players finish the slice with their body completely open and parallel to the net. You should try to remain turned until the slice is finished.
Don't expect great results on your first few tries. As I said, this takes a certain amount of touch and control.
When learning the slice, practice short on a wall or from service line to service line with a partner, going slowly and learning to feel the ball.
As you begin to feel more comfortable, slowly move back until you are hitting from baseline to baseline. If the ball is coming off with too much spin (or thin as we call it), try getting more of the ball on the strings on contact and make sure you are not chopping down on the ball.
If the ball is too flat off your strings, be sure the face of the racket is open and slides under the ball on contact. Another common problem is the ball going too high. If this happens, try speeding up the racket head slightly on contact. This will help the ball "grab" the strings and keep the ball from going straight up after contact.
A coach can be a great help with your technique, but the only way to really get the hang of the slice is to practice it over and over. A coach can teach many things, but they cannot teach feel. That is something you must master on your own.
As the saying goes, "Repetition is the mother of skill." And it is never more true than when learning the slice.

I've been considering drive trains on a utility / commuter bike. What are expected or actual lifetime / maintenance needs of modern internal hubs?
The Shimano Alfine internal 8-speed hub is on several bikes I've liked. I've also heard good things about SRAM and Nexus hubs.
I ride in a wet / nasty winters / fairly flat environment here in Minnesota. I'm partial to lower gearing if it meant more reliability or lower cost. I don't need max efficiency but all other factors are secondary to durability in my eyes.
How much maintenance can I expect a modern internal hub to require, and how long will it last before needing to be replaced?

Hello everyone! I'm new here and started computer programming in September 2010 at my high school.
Ok, so in class we receive program lists that contain instructions for programs our teacher wants us to make. And so I need help with one that requires me to read 30 random numbers and reads out the mean and mode, by using arrays (which I still dont complete understand). Please forgive me for my vast ignorance; I feel my computer science is extremely lax and has not adequately taught us over the months about what we should know by now.
Well here's the program(how do I format again?):
import java.util.Random; public class TestScores { public static void main (String [] args) { int scores=0; int avg; int mean; int mode; final int LIMIT = 15, MULTIPLE = 100; int[]list = new int [LIMIT]; Random generator = new Random(); //Initialize the array values for (int score = 0; score < LIMIT; score++) {list [score] = generator.nextInt(30); scores += list[score]; } avg = scores/30; //Print the array values for (int value : list) System.out.print ( + " "); } }
