Microsoft Surface RT Sales Hurt by Lack of Distribution

Right now, customers can only buy the Surface RT tablet at Microsoft Stores
Reports on
Microsoft's Surface tablet
have been a mixed bag lately, but
All Things D
is pretty clear about its position: the demand and sales just aren't there.
All Things D
recently spoke with Boston-based brokerage firm Detwiler Fenton about Microsoft's Surface RT tablet. The verdict? Microsoft better get its tablet out in other stores or it's going to sink.
"Lack of distribution is killing the product," said Detwiler Fenton. "Mixed reviews and a [$499] starting price tag certainly don't help, but lack of retail exposure at Best Buy and others is severely depressing sales."
Right now, customers can only buy the Surface RT tablet at Microsoft Stores. The problem with this is that there's only 31 of them, with another 34 smaller Microsoft kiosks around the U.S.
Due to this lack of presence in major retailers, Detwiler Fenton estimates that Microsoft will only sell 500,000 to 600,000 Surface RTs in the December quarter. This is a strong hit to previous estimates of 1 million to 2 million.
Recently, a pair of reports from both
The Seattle Times
showed differing views on how
Windows 8-based touchscreen tablets
, convertibles and laptops are faring.
spoke with IDC and IHS iSuppli analysts, who said retailers were having trouble keeping them on shelves due to high demand. However,
The Seattle Times
begged to differ, echoing Detwiler Fenton's concerns: there just aren't very many Windows 8 tablets out yet, and those that are are impossible to find. However, other Windows 8 tablets are sold in major retailers like Best Buy; not just Microsoft Stores.
Microsoft's Surface Pro is expected to be released in January, which will feature the Windows 8 Pro operating system instead of Windows RT for ARM-based tablets.
All Things D
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Naturally, in the championship of Russia, I did not skate it. Still it looks more interesting, and I hope to skate it in the Europeans. And, of course, there is a second quad in it (smiles)!

Spare tire mount
Need a new spare tire mount on my 2000 tj that can hold a 35" tire.....don't want to replace the whole bumper or go broke, any ideas or recommendations?
Bestop Oversized tire carrier. It can handle up to a 35" spare and does not put undue stress on your hinges. This way you dont have to completely replace the entire bumper to make it work.
1 Attachment(s)
I have the Bestop tire carrier with a 33". Don't have to swing away the carrier to open the rear gate, opens with the gate. Added a bracket for my Hilift jack as well.
nice $300 or so right?
I made a spare tire mount for top of roll cage. No blind spots! Check out pic in avitar.
The one I want is made by Or-Fab. It also allows you to carrier 2 Jerry Cans Jeep | JEEP TJ SWING AWAY SPARE TIRE/CAN CARRIER | 85201
Check out thedirtworx on ebay, he makes some good swing away tire carriers that'll hold a 35. I believe his cheapest one is like $360 shipped to your front door I believe. It comes unpainted though. But he hand makes them so if you want to customize it a little bit he can change it up for you at really no extra cost. I just ordered one with a custom hi-lift jack mount and welded through d-ring mounts for $400 :) pretty excited about it. Only thing is that because it is hand made and he really likes to do a good job it may take up to a month to build and ship depending upon how backed up he is. Here's a pick of another person's jeep with it on. And here's a link to his store on ebay. He doesn't have the attached one on there right now because he just sold one :whistling: but I'm sure you can message him on ebay and he'll put one up.

If you are price-sensitive, Olympic makes an oversized tire carrier that mounts with the stock bolt holes on your tailgate and will hold a 35" tire with the stock bumper and a 1.25" body lift - YMMV with another bumper or without the BL. It is $79.
This bracket also allows you to remount the 3rd brake light where it can be used with a 35" tire, and accepts either a 5x4.5" Wrangler wheel or a 5x5.5" CJ wheel.
Admittedly, my tailgate rattled with the extra wieght. I solved this by inserting an inverted hitch insert in my receiver bumper, which supports the tire's weight and stops the rattle.
I would be nervous using that unless I could somehow support the tire too. And even then I don't know if I would trust the sheet metal to hold up that heavy of a tire by just a few bolts. Just my 2 cents though.

Bartenders & Beverages:
Lebamoff's Cap N'Cork on Coldwater RoadFort Wayne, IN, USA
"We hired a bartender and bought all of our beer and champagne through Cap N'Cork. One of our guests wanted to gift us wine and Cap'N'Cork was had no problem with us doing that. And anything we didn't open, Cap'N'Cork took back. The bartender was $25/hour, and the kegs and champagne were completely reasonably priced."
Classic Cafe6455 W Jefferson Blvd
Fort Wayne, IN, United States
"Classic Cafe was super accomodating, ready to do whatever we wanted/needed. Their price was the best I've ever seen. And their food was AMAZING! We had meat and vegetarian lasagna, and both were great, but the vegetarian was exceptional! We also had meatballs and people were telling us that they were the best meatballs they'd ever had."
Wedding Fashion Vendor:
David's Bridal
"I loved my wedding dress. It was a third dress I tried on and I was done. So many people complimented me on how perfect my dress was for me. And I didn't need to get it altered. I couldn't have been happier."
Fort Wayne History Center:
302 E Berry St
Fort Wayne, IN 46802
"The History Center is a beautiful location for a wedding and a reception. We were extremely happy with our entire experience the whole time we were planning our wedding. Unfortunately, they were renovating the ceiling in the main room and when we showed up to decorate on Friday, all the scaffolding was just pushed over to the side and their plan was to cover it with plastic. We were able to rent white sheeting to cover the scaffolding, but we had to pay for it. They also had removed their sound system, something that we did not find out about until the day before the wedding. Luckily, our DJ had everything he needed, but I wanted to make things easier on him so that he didn't have to carry all that equipment around. Regardless of these issues, I wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else. The entire night was wonderful."
Hilton Hotel:
Hilton Hotel1020 South Calhoun Street
Fort Wayne, IN, United States
"I did have a problem with the Hilton not getting my name right on our block of rooms, and they didn't correct it after I informed them of their error. This isn't a big deal, but it still bothered me. I also requested 15 rooms at the block price and they only gave us 10, and we were told that if more guests reserved a room than were in the block of rooms, they would still honor the block price. This was not true and as soon as 10 rooms were booked, they started charging full price for the rooms. I was able to call and have other guests added to the block after they'd reserved their rooms, but I felt that this should not have been something I had to worry about the week before my wedding. I did rent a suite instead of the regular sized block room and they gave me the suite for the price of a regular block room."

A friend of mine who was a member invited me to give Egan's kickboxing class a try in November of 2008. I was still nervous about going, but once I did it, there were a bunch of things that surprised me about my first class. I was surprised at how supportive and helpful the instructor was and how supportive the other members were as well. I was also surprised at the type of workout I got. It felt great to have someone push me in a way I would not have ever pushed myself!

Texas Moves Forward With Voter ID Law
The Supreme Court has gutted a key part of the Voting Rights Act, and their move is going to have a direct impact on you.
What the Supreme Court did was pave the way for Texas to put its Voter ID law into effect, which had been blocked by the courts a year ago.
Alicia Pierce of the Secretary of State's Office told KTRH that, "Texans who are voting in person will now be required to present a photo ID. If you don't have an approved form of ID you can go to Texas DPS and get an Election Identification Certificate at no cost."
Attorney Chad Dunn, argued the case against Attorney General Greg Abbott when the law was blocked by a Federal Court last year. He told KTRH he is upset that Abbott has announced the law will go into effect.
"Seeing the state ignore the findings as if they never occurred is a great disappointment and not at all what I think what the Supreme Court had in mind with its opinion," Dunn told KTRH.
But State Representative Debbie Riddle says this was the right call by the Supreme Court.
"It puts things on the right track. The fact of the matter is you have to have identification today to do anything. You can't cash a check without an ID. It is not too much to ask that when you go vote that you please show an ID," Riddle explained.


text: Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GCBC) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the continuation of the Company's regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.175 per share. The dividend reflects an annual cash dividend rate of $0.70 per share. The cash dividend for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 will be paid to shareholders of record as of August 15, 2012. The $0.175 per share quarterly dividend will be payable on August 31, 2012. The Company is the majority-owned subsidiary of Greene County Bancorp, MHC, a federal mutual holding company, which owns 55.1 percent of the Company's outstanding common shares. Historically, Greene County Bancorp, MHC has waived its right to receive dividends declared on its shares of the Company's common stock, and Greene County Bancorp, MHC has waived the receipt of dividends for the quarter end June 30, 2012, subject to the non-objection of the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted interim final regulations that impose significant conditions and restrictions on the ability of mutual holding companies to waive the receipt of dividends from their subsidiaries, and the Board of Directors does not expect that Greene County Bancorp, MHC will obtain the non-objection of the Federal Reserve to waive the receipt of its dividends on the Company's common stock for the June 30, 2012 quarter.

Hi, in order to debug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514918 I installed a rawhide kernel (2.6.31-0.112.rc4.git3.fc12). Unfortunately X flashes all the time which makes working graphically very difficult to impossible. But I need to test NetworkManager so I need to get into a non-flashing X somehow. Before I blindly upgrade half my system to rawhide, is there anything I could tune to fix this or maybe a minimal set of packages to upgrade to rawhide? I could perhaps ssh to the system in question, but part of the exercise is to get a working laptop with modbile broadband cababilities, so I do need a working X at the end :) -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

Adam Saleh is a 23 year old Youtube star with thousands of followers. He was on a Delta flight that was ready to take off when he decided to call his mom, it was a promise he had made to her that when he traveled by plane, she would get a reassuring call just before the plane departed. He began speaking in Arabic. "The reason is that mom is 66 years old and she only speaks Arabic." For some reason this approach to being nice to mom did not register with some passengers.
A woman turned to him and said: "Oh, my, you need to speak English, I'm feeling very uncomfortable." A man stood up and shouted: "Chuck them (Adam and his friends) off the fucking plane." Within moments, Adam and his friends were escorted off the plane. I assume the plane landed safely. I am so glad the woman finally felt "comfortable."

Gods & Heroes - Preview @ Ten Ton Hammer
by Inauro, 2007-09-06 23:17:14
Ten Ton Hammer finds out more about Fortuna, the Roman goddess of luck, in a new Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising preview
Fortuna is the roman goddess of luck, known as Tyche or Tykhe by greek mythology. She is the personification of not only luck, but also fate. She appears as holding a horn of plenty, and sometimes as holding a rudder (of a ship) in the other. She may be described as having wings. Sometimes she is depicted holding a small wheel, the "Rota Fortuna" implying control of the ups and downs of fortun. Often her face was stamped upon coins. Additionally, she can be shown (in her Greek aspect as Tykhe) holding the infant Plutus.

text: MONTREAL, Sept. 20, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - Aimia (TSX: AIM) and Sainsbury's today announced they have formed Insights 2 Communication LLP (I 2C), a joint venture, which will offer suppliers comprehensive multi-channel marketing solutions in and around Sainsbury's stores and online. I 2C will provide Sainsbury's suppliers with a 'one-stop shop' solution to advertise across all of the retailer's communication channels - both targeted and non-targeted. Through a series of licensing and supply agreements with Aimia and Sainsbury's, the joint venture will combine people, intellectual property and tools, and Sainsbury's fast-growing in-house non-targeted communications business. The licensing and supply agreements will be for an initial term of 6 years. Similarly, the insight and targeted communications services that Aimia currently provides to Sainsbury's suppliers, including access to Self Serve and targeted communications, will also now be provided by the joint venture. Aimia retains sole ownership of its existing proprietary data analytical tools, including Self Serve. The international operations of Aimia's Intelligent Shopper Solutions (ISS) will not be affected by the creation of the joint venture. The joint venture board will have equal representation from Sainsbury's and Aimia, whilst the day to day senior management team has been created by bringing together the best talent from both Aimia and Sainsbury's. David Buckingham from Aimia has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of I 2C and will report to a board comprising: Mike Coupe, Sainsbury's Group Commercial Director; Luke Jensen, Sainsbury's Group Development Director; David Johnston, President and CEO, EMEA, Aimia; and Peter Gleason, Managing Director, Intelligent Shopper Solutions, Aimia. Luke Jensen has been appointed chairman of I 2C. Commenting on the joint venture, David Buckingham said: "From the home to the checkout and beyond, I 2C will offer suppliers a tailored advertising solution in and around stores and online. We will help Sainsbury's suppliers to plan, manage and deliver fully integrated campaigns more effectively to the millions of customers who visit Sainsbury's stores or shop online each week." Luke Jensen, Sainsbury's Group Development Director, said: "The joint venture is a win-win for both customers and suppliers. This means more timely, relevant and accessible offers for customers based on their likes and dislikes, while brands benefit from an end-to-end insight based marketing solution and greater return on investment." David Johnston, President and CEO EMEA, Aimia said: "The launch of I 2C is testament to the growing interest in shopper marketing, targeting customers in and around stores. Coupled with our data-driven approach, we believe I 2C will deliver better experiences for shoppers and greater ROI for suppliers who will benefit from the integrated solution I 2C offers." Aside from a small initial working capital requirement, the joint venture will be self sufficient from a cash perspective and is expected to fully distribute its retained earnings to its shareholders on a regular basis.

A triumph of bruising humor and bracing hope that deserves its place among the year's best films." -Rolling Stone Precious: Based on the novel "Push" by Sapphire, one of the year's most critically acclaimed films, comes to DVD and Blu-ray Disc from Lionsgate. Starring Mo'Nique (Shadowboxer) and Gabourey "Gabby" Sidibe (film debut) in "Oscar-worthy" (New York Post) performances, the film is a vibrant, honest and resoundingly hopeful story about the human capacity to grow and overcome. The film, directed by Lee Daniels (Producer of Monster's Ball) from a screenplay by Geoffrey Fletcher, based on the book 'Push'; a novel by Sapphire, also stars Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, Sherri Shepherd and musician Lenny Kravitz. Precious Jones, an inner-city high school girl, is illiterate, overweight, and pregnant... again. Naïve and abused, she responds to a glimmer of hope when a door is opened by an alternative-school teacher. She is faced with the choice to follow opportunity and test her own boundaries. Audiences and critics nationwide have fallen in love with Precious. The film was an Official Selection at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival - Un Certain Regard and winner of three awards at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival including the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award in the U.S. Dramatic Competition. It was also the centerpiece of the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival Gala Presentation, where it received the festival's 2009 Cadillac People's Choice Award. Preciousis the only film ever to receive the Audience awards at both Sundance and Toronto. In addition, the film has been hailed as "a genuine work of art" (The New York Times), "rich with surprises" (Elle), "one very big miracle" (Associated Press), "a great American film" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times) and "absolutely unforgettable" (Los Angeles Times). The DVD and Blu-ray disc feature powerful bonus materials that include audio commentary with the director, numerous featurettes, a deleted scene, an interview with author Sapphire and director Lee Daniels, Gabourey Sidibe's audition and more. Precious is a film not to be missed. Set in Harlem in 1987, it is the story of Claireece "Precious" Jones, a sixteen-year-old African-American girl born into a life no one would want. She's pregnant for the second time by her absent father; at home, she must wait hand and foot on her mother, a poisonously angry woman who abuses her emotionally and physically. School is a place of chaos, and Precious has reached the ninth grade with good marks and an awful secret: she can neither read nor write. Beneath her impassive expression is a watchful, curious young woman with an inchoate but unshakeable sense that other possibilities exist for her. Threatened with expulsion, Precious is offered the chance to transfer to an alternative school, Each One/Teach One. Precious doesn't know the meaning of "alternative," but her instincts tell her this is the chance she has been waiting for. In the literacy workshop taught by the patient yet firm Ms. Rain, Precious begins a journey that will lead her from darkness, pain and powerlessness to light, love and self-determination.Pricing: DVD $29.95Pricing: Blu-ray Disc $39.99

Christian Boltanski, No Man's Land
Boltanski's mounds of old clothes are more depressing than poignant.
Mon Jun 7 2010
No Man's Land
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>3/5
Walking into Christian Boltanski's massive installation is like visiting a scene from The Road, Cormac McCarthy's depressing postapocalyptic novel. Old clothes are laid on the floor in a vast gridded formation divided by pathways. Each block is further sectioned off by rusting steel stanchions from which a fluorescent light is slung low, hanging just above the clothes. At the grid's center is a towering mountain of clothes. A crane with tinted windows idly plucks a few from the top, lifts them into the air, then opens its jaws and lets them fall. It's like Wall-E's evil twin.
No Man's Land exudes an undeniable aura of menace and chilling dehumanization. But to what purpose? On the ground level, the pungent smell of thrift-store clothes, combined with the throb of recorded heartbeats emanating from speakers, gives the giant space an ominous, somber quality. Viewed from the balcony, it's less clear what viewers are expected to take away. The endless sorting is meant to represent what exactly?
Not the Holocaust, although the timeless look of the clothes could lend itself to such a reading. In the brochure, Boltanski claims the work could just as easily be about the earthquake in Haiti, or any event in which many people died. But the vague gesture toward poignancy ultimately feels empty and generic. It's worth noting that the Armory doubles as a women's shelter. Perhaps if this work specifically addressed the plight of those living in its immediate vicinity rather than the faraway dead, it would have greater and deeper impact.

Rain gutter slopes the wrong way
1 Attachment(s)
I am replacing a 25-year-old rain gutter. I checked it yesterday with a water level and discovered the 30 foot long gutter slopes one inch in the wrong direction, away from the downspout. I get the feeling the gutter contractors aren't going to address the problem and just set the new gutter on the existing wood. I was thinking about being there the same day and installing redwood spacers on top of the face board so the gutter sits higher where it should. The spacers would be ripped from redwood 2x material. Are there other ways of doing this?
Hard to say without seeing the facia board the gutter is attached to
3 Attachment(s)
Here are a few shots from underneath the eave. Its a 2x10 probably doug fir. It seems to be in ok condition so I probably don't need to replace the whole board.

Broadcast Television and Radio:
Disclosure Requirements for Broadcasted Content
GAO-14-738: Published: Sep 17, 2014. Publicly Released: Sep 17, 2014.
Additional Materials:

What GAO Found
Disclosure requirements for advertisements or programming on issues that affect broadcasters' interests and that may be intended to influence Congress, including its consideration of legislation and related policy issues, depend upon several factors. Specifically, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations require that television and radio broadcasters make an on-air announcement identifying the sponsor whenever they broadcast content that is provided by or sponsored by another entity. In addition, when broadcast material provided to a station by an outside party involves the discussion of political or controversial issues, broadcast stations are required to record information about this content in their files (known as the "public file") for public inspection even if no payment or other consideration is provided. This information must be maintained in the public file for at least 2 years. Thus, advertisements or other programming intended to influence Congress could fall under these requirements. However, when television or radio stations produce and air their own content—whether advertisements, editorial content, or other programming—and no payment or other valuable consideration is received from an outside party, no disclosure requirements apply. Currently, there is no legal obligation for broadcasters to air advertisements or programming presenting opposing views, including views that do not align with broadcasters' interests.
GAO identified two possible types of sources—the public file and private data sources—for information on the number and fair market value of relevant advertisements. However, due to limitations of these data sources, GAO determined that information is not available for a comprehensive assessment of relevant content aired from 2007 through 2012. For example, since broadcast stations are required to keep information on broadcast material addressing political or controversial issues in public files for 2 years, it precludes using public file records to conduct research on the number or fair market value of these advertisements beyond a 2-year period. In addition, few private data sources have archival data on these types of advertisements. However, one private data source with which GAO contracted provided information on TV advertisements between calendar years 2007 and 2012 on selected issues. GAO selected four issues that affect broadcasters' interests, including spectrum allocation, which involves dividing the radio spectrum into bands of frequencies used to provide all wireless communication services, including television broadcasting. The contractor's data indicated that during this time period, television stations aired sponsored advertisements on two of the four selected issues affecting their interests—one of which was spectrum allocation—at least 2,646 times, ranging in estimated cost from $6 to over $15,000 per airing. While GAO determined that these cost estimates are reliable enough for the purposes of this review, it is important to note these are estimates and do not represent what was actually paid for these airings and therefore may not reflect other factors that could affect costs, such as discounts a station may have offered. GAO was unable to provide information on the number of radio advertisements aired due to limitations in public and private data sources available.
Why GAO Did This Study
Television and radio broadcasters air content, including advertisements and other programming, on a variety of issues, some of which directly address their interests as broadcasters. The FCC applies the Communications Act of 1934 to hold these broadcasters to a basic principle—that the public should know when and by whom it is being persuaded. Statutes and FCC regulations require licensed broadcasters to publicly disclose information about sponsored content.
GAO was asked to assess disclosure requirements and practices of television and radio broadcast stations that air content intended to influence Congress. This report (1) describes the disclosure requirements for broadcasters that air advertisements or programming that affect their interests and may be intended to influence Congress, and any requirements to air opposing views, and (2) assesses what is known about the number and fair market value of these advertisements, and those of opposing views, aired from 2007 through 2012. To conduct the work, GAO reviewed relevant statutes, regulations, and FCC orders and interviewed agency officials and stakeholders, such as industry associations. GAO also procured and analyzed private data on television and radio advertisements on selected issues affecting broadcasters. Data from 2012 were the most current data available when we conducted our review.
What GAO Recommends
GAO is not making recommendations in this report. FCC provided technical comments.

But, like so many times throughout this series, the 3-pointer with three seconds left was an inch or two offline as the Tigers edged the Golden Eagles, 60-58, for the 18th straight time Wednesday at FedExForum.
Sophomore guard Chris Crawford nailed a pair of free throws with 32 seconds remaining to set up Southern Miss' missed three.
The win, which put an end to Southern Miss' 11-game winning streak, was the Tigers' fifth straight. Golden Eagles coach Larry Eustachy is now 0-17 against Memphis.
"I'm just glad we won the game," Memphis coach Josh Pastner said. "That last shot looked good. He got open. We were supposed to switching on that, and we didn't. There was some miscommunication."
Even after a defensive breakdown with three seconds left to play, the Golden Eagles were unable to escape Memphis with a victory over the Tigers (11-5, 2-0 Conference USA). It's almost as if the Golden Eagles are hexed against Memphis.
Last season in Hattiesburg, Miss., Charles Carmouche hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to give Memphis a 76-75 win. The Golden Eagles haven't beaten Memphis since 2004.
But Memphis guard Will Barton, who finished with 11 points and nine rebounds, doesn't put stock into the theory that the Golden Eagles don't believe they can defeat the Tigers.
"I think their psyche is that they can beat Memphis," Barton said. "That's why they keep giving us good games. If they thought they couldn't beat us, we'd probably blow them out. They really believe they can beat us and it shows."
Memphis was surely on its way to blowing out the Golden Eagles with 12:21 left to play after Barton converted a floater to put the Tigers ahead by 12. But Southern Miss refused to go down quietly, pouring in three straight 3-pointers several minutes later to whittle the Tigers' lead down to four, 51-47, with 8:28 remaining.
"When we made that run and went up 12, I thought we were about to bury them," Barton said. "They came right back."
In fact, the Golden Eagles took the lead, 52-51, after Lashay Page banged in his fourth 3-pointer of the night with 4:58 to play.
But like he's done so often in the past, sophomore guard Antonio Barton, who led the Tigers with 13 points, answered right back with a three of his own to retake the lead, 54-52. It was a lead Memphis wouldn't relinquish.
"In these games that are coming down to the wire, we're not breaking as a team," Antonio Barton said. "These games are gonna help us very much in the future." Memphis, which was led by Antonio Barton's 13 points, shot 41.3 percent for the game and led 29-25 at halftime.
Defensively, the Tigers employed several schemes, going from a man-to-man set to a 1-2-2 zone.
With 3:38 left to play and the score tied at 54 apiece, Pastner elected to go with the 2-1-2 zone out of a timeout, which resulted in two straight Golden Eagle misses.
Memphis held Southern Miss to 35 percent shooting overall and 29 percent from the perimeter. Page led the Golden Eagles with 16 points and four 3-pointers.
"We won the game today for two reasons: free throw shooting and we got stops," Pastner said. "We won the game because of defense."
In thwarting Southern Miss for the 18th straight time, sophomore forward Tarik Black came up with some timely blocks, finishing with five for the game. He swatted away a Jonathan Mills layup that would've tied the game at 58 with a minute to play.
"I just try to do what I can. That's my mindset right now," said Black, who also had nine points and 10 rebounds. "I try to do what I can to make us win. I don't consider myself a scorer, a shot blocker, or a lockdown defender. I try to give us what the team needs for any given night."
The Tigers now take to the road for their next two conference games, starting Saturday against Houston at Hofheinz Pavilion. They'll conclude the brief road trip at UCF next Wednesday before returning home to take on Southern Methodist on the 21st.

Writer finds inspiration from mob boss grandfather
By Belinda Goldsmith
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - As the grandson of mob boss Vito "Don Vito" Genovese, author Phil Genovese grew up with a surname in which he took little pride, but he has turned his childhood experiences into fiction as he breaks into writing.
Genovese has just self-published "The Grandfather Clause," which was 10 years in the making and largely written on Sunday afternoons when he sneaked off from his family.
"The Grandfather Clause" is about a young New Jersey boy who cherishes his grandfather's visits but learns over time that he as the boss of a New York crime family and years later has to penetrate his grandfather's world.
In reality, Genovese was raised by an accountant father and mother on the Jersey shore and only has a few memories of his grandfather, the head of the Genovese crime family, who died in jail in 1969 at the age of 71.
Genovese spoke to Reuters about his childhood and writing:
Q: When did you start to write?
A: "I am in my mid-50s and started out thinking some day I may like to write a book but I came out of school not really knowing what I wanted to do and ended up being an executive in a mobile transportation company. In 1996 I bought the first family computer and thought maybe this could enable me to write."
Q: Is it autobiographical? Continued...

Sheltered Housing residents win national award
A city Sheltered Housing scheme has been named the best in the UK.
Pendeen Close, in Southway, was granted the honour by Yours magazine, a fortnightly publication aimed at the over 50s.
Each year, the magazine holds its Caring Stars of the Year Award, when readers are asked to nominate the best nursing or residential home, the best sheltered accommodation and the country's most caring professional carer.
A judging panel shortlists the entries and picks regional winners as well as the overall winners.
Pendeen Close has won £1,000 and a plaque for its efforts.
The residents' association runs regular events and outings for tenants, including days out, fish and chip lunches, bingo sessions and coffee mornings.
Thanks to grant funding, the association has bought a new computer, TV, printer, DVD player and Wii console and now has a Skype address and a Facebook page. It also puts together a monthly newsletter to keep residents and their families up to date with what's going on.
Pendeen Close was nominated by Sally Morgan, secretary of its residents' Association. Sally's husband Derek is the association's vice chairman.
He said: "We're absolutely over the moon with the award. We've lost quite a few residents over the last few months but we have managed to come through that and show what can be done with time and effort.
"We will put the prize money towards a meal for all the residents.
"Hopefully we have made all schemes in Plymouth proud of us."
Sarah French, Plymouth Community Homes' head of neighbourhood services (north), said: "I have been really impressed with the amount of energy and commitment the residents have put in to their community.
"This is also a great example of PCH staff empowering residents to build stronger communities.
"A win like this puts Plymouth and Plymouth Community Homes on the map and has given everyone a lift."
Rosie Sandall, Care Editor at Yours magazine, said: "We had a lot of entries and it's difficult picking one overall winner but we felt the residents at Pendeen did a lot for themselves on a limited budget.
"They have introduced Skype and Facebook, which is quite forward looking for many older residents."
Yours magazine featuring Pendeen Close is now on sale.

Wow Nikki just exudes sex appeal. She is one sexy woman, absolutely gorgeous.
Featuring: Wow Nikki
Date: November 9th, 2015
Photos: 59
Nasty hot-sheet motels have done more for people's sex drives than a truckload of Cialis. Wow Nikki was a sex-loving, cock-loving bra-buster who said no to guy-girl action for several years. Nikki wants to make it in a raunchy motel with lots of mirrors and an atmosphere that reeks of sex, a feeling that hits the guests the second they walk into the room, like a rolling fog off San Francisco Bay. They find exactly what they're looking for and go at it. Nikki is direct and open about sex. "I love doggie style, hands-down. Cock size is not important to me. A medium size dick is great. It's all about the power behind the push." She also likes and licks girls. "I have lots of cute friends and I play that game a lot with girls.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/11/2012 (1674 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
At the Brandon City Council meeting on Nov. 19, it was decided that the bid for the development of the former police station, on 13th Street, should be given to a private developer. Also making bids were senior's co-op housing and the local mental health group. So "seniors" listen up! This affects you.
Once again (remember the Fleming school property) the majority of city council has decided you should put your life on hold. And young families, are okay with your present or no housing? There, apparently, is no immediate need for additions to the affordable housing inventory. Oh yes, affordable housing is coming when the "Black" property is developed. It may take three or four years and then you can live in isolation and amidst constant construction.
It was a great day when we learned that the City of Brandon, on our behalf, was making affordable housing a priority. But you know what? Words never made a place to live. We need action.
Several council members brought that thought into the discussion regarding the use of this property on 13th Street. Certainly none had gone hungry at that meeting considering the number of "red herrings" that were put on the table.
It may be a surprise to some that those moving into the assisted living condos will not leave behind affordable housing. And as far as the suggestion that to provide the opportunity to build affordable housing was not a city responsibility but that of government, I would like to remind that speaker, that at whatever level, it is the taxpayer that pays. And the suggestion of non-profits working with developers — been there, done that.
We are wasting valuable resources in putting assisted living in this area when you get meals, transportation, recreation, socialization — the complete package. This area is perfect for those with limited income and/or mobility. It is within walking distance of groceries, hardware, medical, transportation, a community centre and schools. Has the city considered none of this available in the suggested "Black" project?
Oh well I have rufus and goofus to keep me company. So why am I concerned? Simply because I believe when a commitment is made it should be kept.
My thanks to those members of council who so ably defended their belief in a commitment. Where there is life there is hope, faint as it my be.

remainder of that Input cell will be skipped, i.e. not executed --
without your having to wrap the remainder of the cell in an explicit

Or, an inputOff statement such that

CIEE offers one English language course per session analyzing selected aspects of urbanism, architecture, sculpture, and painting in your host city of Lisbon, and exploring identity and nationalism through literature, film, and music.
Lisbon is a culturally rich city with a vibrant theater life, a historic opera house, museums, concert venues, galleries, and a dynamic cinemathèque. You are encouraged to take advantage of the city's cultural offerings, such as its summer festivals.
One weekend excursion and one day trip are included in each four-week study abroad session. Destinations for weekend trips may include Évora, Porto, or Coimbra. Destinations for day trips may include Sintra, Mafra, and Óbidos.

The estimated additional costs indicated are intended to assist students and parents in budgeting for those additional living and discretionary expenses not included in the program fee. Actual expenses will vary according to student interests and spending habits.
* round-trip based on U.S. East Coast departure
Total credit per session is 3 semester/4.5 quarter hours.
Course contact hours are 45 hours and credit is 3 semester/4.5 quarter hours per course, unless otherwise indicated.

Lisbon is the westernmost capital in mainland Europe, at the point where the Tagus River flows into the Atlantic. Built on seven hills, Lisbon is navigated by funicular trains, an elevator, trams, buses, and the metro. The city presents interesting contrasts, from tiny one-of-a-kind shops with fading facades to mega malls; from narrow, steep, cobbled-stoned streets to wide-open vistas. Lisbon's fascinating past can be seen in the faces of its multicultural citizens, food, architecture, and welcoming attitude towards foreigners.
Luísa Castro Caldas, who has been working for CIEE for over 5 years, holds a B.A. in History and Art History and an M.A. in Art History and Preservation from the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. In addition, Luisa has completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in Management, at the Universidade Católica de Lisboa. She has been involved in youth peace education for more than two decades in an international NGO, which makes working with CIEE a familiar and pleasant challenge.
Sara completed her BA in Business and Corporate Communication in Lisbon, having spent a year in Madrid as an Erasmus student. She has lived and worked in Budapest, Stockholm and Brazil. She has volunteered in Bosnia and worked in an education journal in Lisbon. She has been a volunteer at CISV for seven years, having lead camps in Germany, Italy, Sweden and Indonesia. She has had several managing roles with CISV, especially in the Leadership Training Committee. Currently she is a member of its National Board.
The CIEE Lisbon study center is housed at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL, which is a public institution of higher learning founded in 1977 with the goal of contributing to the renewal of higher education in Portugal. It has five faculties, including the School of Social Sciences and Humanities (FCSH), where the summer study abroad program is primarily based. FCSH is a multidisciplinary unit that promotes diversity of knowledge, creativity, and freedom of thought. Facilities at FCSH include the central library, computer facilities, and bookstore, and a student association, drama group, and group devoted to traditional Portuguese music.
Housing is included in the program fee and study abroad students are housed in homestays located a short commute from FCSH where CIEE courses are held. Students have their own bedrooms and are given full access to bathroom and kitchen facilities. All homestays are internet accessible.
Students are provided with breakfast and dinner every day, which are also included in the program fee. Students can prepare the rest of their meals at their homestay, or eat in the cafeteria at UNL.
A three-day orientation session conducted in Lisbon at the beginning of the program will introduce you to the city, culture, and academic program, as well as provide practical information about living in Lisbon. Ongoing support is provided by CIEE staff on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. Internet access in the homestays is guaranteed. Most areas in the University have wireless Internet, and computer rooms are also available for your use.
The Language and Culture summer program focuses on Portuguese culture and history. Special emphasis is placed on Lisbon within a broad global context. Courses include experiential activities and field visits. Students may participate in one or, two four-week sessions.
Courses meet daily, Monday through Friday, for three hours. The academic calendar includes dates for mandatory trips scheduled out of Lisbon. This hands-on learning experience contributes greatly to the student's experience abroad. Instruction is interactive and dynamic. Many lectures take place in situ, so that students can feel part of the culture they are studying.
While extracurricular activities and personal travel contribute greatly to the student's overall European experience, attendance is mandatory for all classes and required events. Early departure for, and/or late return from, personal trips on weekends is not permitted. Any extended travel should take place prior to the start of the program or upon completion of the program.
Participants take classes with other CIEE study abroad students only.
As students gain proficiency in Portuguese, resident staff encourage them to use their language skills in everyday settings. This fosters a learning community that contributes to both Portuguese language proficiency and understanding of Portuguese society.
Students are normally graded on the basis of class participation, papers, small quizzes, and a final examination. With attendance mandatory, unexcused absences are reflected in a participant's final grade. Class participation is essential in most courses; some courses require students to complete individual projects, which they present in class.
Courses are taught by faculty or postdoctoral fellows of the FCSH and UNL.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment.

SoJO Stupid Citizen – Plank Patrol!
In Wisconsin, 19-year-old Alexander Hart has been arrested for disorderly conduct after he was photographed "planking" on a police car and on a police memorial to seven dead officers. If you don't know, planking involves people being photographed while lying horizontally, with their arms by their sides, in unusual or daring situations. Hart stupidly posted the photos on Facebook which is how he got caught. He told the court he just did it for laughs. The court didn't laugh and fined him $300 bucks.

[T]he wolf in sheep's clothing now goes about whispering in our ear that evil is nothing but a misunderstanding of good and an effective instrument of progress.
— C.G. Jung, The Basic Writing of C.G. Jung, p. 354
The ethical boundaries of science
At one time in the not-too-distant past, humans were in the crosshairs of science. Indigents, orphans, criminals, the mentally ill, ethnic minorities, soldiers, and others have been the subject of scientific experiments. They too were "like us," but deemed not enough "like us" to receive ethical and legal protection.
The Nuremberg Trials of 1945-49 revealed the horrors that Nazi scientists inflicted upon humans whom they viewed as inferior and unworthy of moral protection. And as late as 1972 in the United States, public health officials ended a 30-year research study that allowed unsuspecting African American males to die of syphilis—a treatable disease even at that time—in the now infamous Tuskegee experiments.
Cy comforted by caregiver

Fortunately, times have changed for humans in America, in part due to groups like NEAVS that advocated for such change. New ethical boundaries have been placed on the American scientific community. We now recognize that all human beings are worthy of protection. Ethical codes and new laws for experimenting on humans require full disclosure, an individual's written consent and the right of the human subject to withdraw at any time.
First, do no harm
NEAVS has long advocated that the scientific code of ethics for research and the protections it affords be expanded to include nonhuman species. Achieving that goal will take years. But one species—the chimpanzee, increasingly acknowledged as so "like us"—is in a unique position to lead the way to great compassion for all non-human species whose life and will are destroyed in the name of science.
NEAVS/Project R&R's science team has shown that chimpanzees, "like us," suffer when confined, stripped of agency, repeatedly physically injured and subjected to constant fear and stress. While the genetic similarities between humans and chimpanzees has been used to justify their use and necessity in biomedical research, (a scientifically erroneous assumption), their emotional, social and behavioral similarities have not yet afforded them ethical protection against their use.
The mandate for "good" science must include an evolving code of ethics, not just the development of new methods and knowledge. In many cases, progress in both these arenas goes hand-in-hand. Ethical consideration must drive scientific progress. Without an ethical system that protects all species, science will continue to fall prey to the cruelties of an over-zealous intellect—an intellect that has too often shown itself to be dangerously devoid of heart and blind to its own false assumptions.
NEAVS/Project R&R is a call to all Americans and to all scientists to commit to one of the next great advances in scientific and social consciousness: ending the use of chimpanzees, and therefore all great apes, in research.
