It's not just for gaming and databases

One of the biggest growth opportunities for PCs has been the recent surge of HTPCs and DVRs, which make TV and movies much more enjoyable thanks to time shifting and proper HD support. Unfortunately, the extra features on these machines make them a little harder to control with a remote. That's why products like the Vidabox Premium Wireless Keyboard are becoming a lot easier to get a hold of. techPowerUp tried out this little wireless keyboard and it's trackball, so you don't have to buy it wi

The new Prince of Persia will differ significantly from the previous Dagger of Time. Not only is there no Dagger of Time, the Prince has a very different cell shaded look to him, and he is searching for his donkey as opposed to a princess, father or other such standard plot conveniences. At least the driving reason behind his search for Farah is that the donkey happens to be where he keeps all his loot. Check out the preview at bit-tech.

One of the favourite rumours for fear mongers to spread has been the discontinuation of either Win2K or XP. That's made all the more easy to do thanks to Microsoft's continuing cycle of claiming to be discontinuing licensing and support, and then changing their mind and continuing to support the ageing OSes. As The Inquirer reports, they have finally discontinued support a licensing for one of their legacy OSes ...
AMD's unofficial return shot
Subject: General Tech | November 4, 2008 - 11:45 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The day after Nehalem was set free from reviewers benches, a leak of information on Shanghai somehow made it into the hands of a Polish website and then onto the net where everyone could see it. Of course, AMD is refraining from commenting on this leak and the products it talks about. The timing seems a little suspicious, not that it matters to the enthusiast who is anxiously awaiting news of AMD's new parts. The model numbers are higher, the feature list is long, so head to DigiTimes and dig in.

The innovators at Gunnar Optiks have designed the Shedder, a pair of glasses that you wear while using the computer. In their defence, I4U did find that they noticed a difference in eyestrain after extended use of their PC, and there doesn't seem to be a wide neckstrap attached to the basic model. On the other hand, having special glasses you wear at a LAN party may cause other strains in your life.

New Delhi, Nov 12 (UNI) Indian and Chinese economies have to strengthen the internal consumer market in order to avoid a slow down as in the case of the United States' economy, Fortune Magazine International Editor Robert Friedman said.
Fortune, a part of the Time Inc, is known for its Global Fortune 500 list, that it brings out every year, listing global companies based on their revenues. It also carries out indepth research on the position of global economies in comparison to others. ''With increasing income levels in India, more and more people are buying consumer durables such as refrigerators, air conditioners etc, which is a good sign for the country. The same is not true with the Chinese economy, which is mainly export-driven,'' Mr Friedman said.
If China focuses more on the internal market rather than on increasing its exports, it will be in a better position to avoid the impact of slow down in the US economy, he added.
Meanwhile, India should also make its consumer market more strong so that it does not face any slow down following the US.
Besides, India also needs heavy investments in the infrastructure and agriculture. ''At least 40 per cent of the agriculture produce does not reach the market due to infrastructure problems,'' he said.
On outsourcing to India, Mr Friedman said it is a healthy development. ''The US has not faced any rise in unemployment as was feared earlier. The controversy regarding it in the US and Europe is mainly on account of losing jobs there,'' he said.
Fortune Magazine has also announced 2007 Global Forum on ''Mastering the New Global Economy'' that will be held here from October 29-31 next year.
More than 150 Indian CEOs and government officials and 300 global participants are expected to attend the forum. ''From India, Infosys CEO and Managing Director Nandan Nilekani, Wipro Chairman Azim Premji, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani have already committed their presence,'' Mr Friedman informed.

Picked up a Kahr CW9,...Meanwhile as I'm filling out the paperwork and going to select some ammo, I see my fiancee walking over to the paperwork counter holding a Mossberg Maverick 88!!!! Gotta love that! While I was talking/chosing my Kahr, she found the Mossberg and instantly wanted that.
I was looking at the Taurus and smith revolvers for maybe pocket carry instead of the p3at I had in my pocket at the time, We went to the gun store in boredom lol...The guy behind the counter said, check this out,...Pulls out a Kahr and I was in love. Traded in the p3at ,and took home the Kahr.
I need to go ahead and order me a nice IWB holster (suggestions for kahr owners?). So far my IWB I've got it in right now is more comfortable than the keltec in the same model holster for a smaller pistol? Weird.
Collection keeps growing!
Now I'm up to,...

Early in the first half, Georgetown College men's basketball team opened a 25-12 lead and it seemed to be headed in the direction of the first two games, blowouts. But, Indiana University Southeast had other ideas. The Grenadiers (0-1) went small and began to live and die by the three.
Unfortunately for the Tigers (3-0), IUSE was living very well. It got as close as two with just less than five minutes to play. Georgetown hung on though, and weathered the deep threats in the 100-92 win. IUSE was 19-of-51 from deep for 57 of its points.
Maurice Pearson dropped his second double-double with 31 points and 15 rebounds, both of which were career highs for the senior. He snagged six offensive boards and nine defensive, also career highs. He also went nine-of-12 from the free throw line, bouncing back from his 7-of-14 performance at the stripe Sunday.
Allen Thomas and Tyrone Shelley contributed 17 points each, Aaron Morris had 11 and Russ Middleton and Garel Craig each had 10. Craig, who battled foul trouble all night, and Middleton did most of their damage in the final few minutes, keeping the Tigers out in front despite the last few threes from IUSE.
Richmond native, Morris went four-of-five from the field and was also critical down the stretch from the foul line. The senior was three-of-three in the final 1:03 of the game.
Shelley added seven assists and nine rebounds, finishing every so close yet again to a triple-double.
The Tigers return to action Saturday against Florida Memorial following the women's game against William Carey University. The women are set to tip at 5 pm.

CHESTER – Starting next month, the Chester Public Library will begin implementation of a new cataloguing system that its leadership says will improve patrons' experiences at the library, whether they're visiting in person or checking things out on line.
For the past few months, library staff have been learning the ins and outs of the new Koha system and making the necessary changes and adjustments to their collection to prepare for its implementation. And starting in March, patrons will have the chance to access it.
The staff ask that patrons be patient as the system comes on line. Over the coming months all 3,700 Chester library cardholders will be issued a new card as they filter through the building on Chester Street.
Library director Tim Sheehan said he'd been looking to upgrade the library's current system since he joined the staff five years ago, as the one currently in use was out of date. It was high technology only in the mid-'90s, Sheehan said, adding that he's excited to present the new system to patrons.
Sheehan is particularly pleased about the expanded opportunities for remote access of library materials. The new system will allow library users to renew items from the Chester Public Library website. They can use their home computer or their mobile device, explained the director.
Patrons' accounts will give email notifications when items become due, provide a list of checked out items, allow for holds to be placed on items and alert users to when a book becomes available, all time savers for library employees, as they don't need to call each individual with a book due or in, and will make taking books and other items out easier for patrons.
Plus there's a host of smaller features that come along with those major changes.
To allow for access to the system, patrons will be issued new cards. Providing an email address will allow for full usage of the system but is not required. It may take a few extra minutes at check-out as the new cards are issued.
In preparation, staff have been creating new records of the library's collection. While the records of newer materials will be integrated into the system easily, the older titles' records need to be improved to fit into the new system. It may be that patrons will take out a book in coming months that hasn't yet been re-catalogued, but Sheehan said staff will be able to make a quick record of that item to allow patrons to check out the book.
Sheehan said the system will prepare the library to seamlessly integrate other technologies or changes in coming years.
Once the catalogue records are updated, search capabilities will also be greatly improved, more like a search engine, explained Sheehan. The older records were created manually; the newer ones are downloaded from the state set to go.
Sheehan explained that the library's records created before 2009 had to be raised to library cataloguing standards, and much of the recent work was to do just that. But the process has allowed the staff to go through the collection and weed out unused or outdated books.
Volunteers have also been helping to re-barcode the collection from a five digit code to the library standard 14 digit code. Sheehan said he hopes there comes a time when all libraries in New Hampshire will be integrated, allowing for cardholders to take out books at any of the state's libraries, something other states have already had success with using. With the new 14 digit code, Chester will be prepared if that happens, as the new barcodes identify items as Chester Library items.
It's a lot of work, but once complete, the change will make for a better library experience for all, said Sheehan.
The money for the upgrade did not come from the budget, but was paid for through earnings from the library's money market account.
The library also will hold workshops to help people with questions.
The system goes live on March 3. Chester Library patrons are encouraged to call or visit the library for more information at 887-3404 or www.chesterlibrary.com.
"Ask questions if you have them and be on the lookout for the workshops we're going to offer," concluded Sheehan.
The library is looking for more volunteers to help out with the re-barcoding. Anyone aged 14 and up is welcome. Talk to Sheehan if interested.

Aunt Nancy's Cajun Rice and Beans
READY IN: 40mins
Recipe by White Rose Child
I don't know where my aunt got this recipe- but all I can say is it's nourishing, quick and awfully good!
Top Review by Kozmic Blues
Yummy delicious! I did add a bit of spice, though. I think it was a couple tsp of Southwest seasoning, and a shake or two of cajun spice and cumin. I also used both green and red pepper. Nice fresh, healthy meal!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 3⁄4 cup chopped tomato
- 1 small green peppers or 1 small red pepper, diced
- 3⁄4 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 large bay leaf
- 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 1 (19 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed (2 cups)
- 1 1⁄2 cups brown rice
- 2 2⁄3 cups water or 2 2⁄3 cups vegetable broth
- 1⁄4 cup green onion, finely chopped (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Put the rice and 2 2/3 cups water or broth in a pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients. After rice has been cooking 15-20 minutes, continue as follows.
- In a skillet, soften the onion and garlic in a little water.
- Stir the next 8 ingredients into the skillet (tomato to pepper). Add the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
- When no water is left on the rice and it's just beginning to stick, remove from the heat and let it stand covered. This is important, to allow it to dry and fluff up a bit before serving.
- Slightly mash half of the beans. Stir them all into the skillet. Cook partially covered, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf.
- Serve over rice, garnished with green onions if desired.

Long URLs Cause Security Flaw in Opera Browser
In an advisory issued this week, Opera detailed a flaw in its browser with regard to the software that handles 'long links'. The exploitation of this vulnerability could enable running malware in a victim's computer.
Explaining the vulnerability in the Opera browser, Secunia said it could be exploited to compromise a user's PC. The vulnerability is a result of a 'boundary error' while surfing 'overly long' URLs. Taking advantage of transmitting 'overly long' URL having more than 250 bytes can create a 'heap-based buffer overflow'. If the exploitation succeeds, it can let the execution of an arbitrary code through a malicious website.
The vulnerability exists in version 9.0 and 9.01 on Windows and Linux. Version 8.x remains unaffected. Opera developers consider the risk as moderate although admit of its potential crash.
'Opera Software' released 'Opera 9.02' version of the browser in September, ready for download. This new version does not contain the flaw any more. As per recommendations, users of earlier versions should update to the new version as early as possible.
'Heap overflows' are the cause of nearly 50 percent of the critical security loopholes. Like the previous 'stack-based buffer overflow', attackers can exploit this error to inject and run any code they desire. The error can convert even image files into dangerous 'Trojan horses'.
Since the past two years, browsers have been the major targets of online attack. This trend has been escaped by Opera since long. The 'zero-day' attacks have hit Microsoft's Internet Explorer by using the then unknown browser flaws. Opera users are urgently advised to upgrade to the recent version of the browser.

The Dark Side of The Heart on "The Playlist" This Week
A week after Valentine's Day, hopefully all went well in the department of love, and that the Heart felt fulfilled from your loved one's efforts on a day that your florist and the greeting card companies are counting their profits (and I know I contributed to their cause with my girlfriend). Now on the other side, you may have been a Lonely Heart, feeling black inside, breaking from the pain of the past. The Heart gets a 2nd look this week on "The Playlist".
Last week, you got songs with "Heart" in the title, in the band name, or somewhere themed in the song bringing positivity. This week – not so much! The Heart for some is worn on their sleeve, and when it breaks the pain come through. The songs encompassing The Playlist reflects this in some way, so if you are looking for a little romance here ………….. that was last week!
The Playlist reflects the frailties of the Heart, and does it with some great music that would make your iPod rock, so members of the Lonely Hearts Club (paging Sgt. Pepper and Billy Sheers) enjoy or lament over this Affair of The Heart (Rick Springfield does not make the cut here, but the title fits here):
Rob Thomas — This Is How A Heart Breaks (setting the tone out the gate)
Taio Cruz — Break Your Heart (he warns you that is all he is going to do!)
Pat Benetar — Heartbreaker ("Don't You Mess Around With Me"!)
'N Sync — Tearing Up My Heart (taking about a No-Win Situation, which we all have experienced)
YES — Owner of A Lonely Heart (alone on V-Day may qualify you for this status)
John Mayer — Half Of My Heart (one half in this song says "I Can't Keep Loving You" …….. what a dog!)
Stevie Nicks / Tom Petty — Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (stars to look like the photo above when this happens)
Joan Jett and The Black Hearts — I Hate Myself For Loving You (Black Hearts and Hate = PAIN!!!!)
Def Leppard — Bringing On The Heartbreak (Wait ………there's more)
Whitney Houston — Where Do Broken Hearts Go (here to read this maybe ………… RIP Whitney)
Paula Abdul — Cold Hearted Snake (don't get fooled ever again)
T 'Pau — Heart and Soul (unlike Huey's song, this 1-Hit 80's Wonder speaks how "Loving You Ain't Easy……..You Never Wanted Me For Yourself")
Kris Allen — Heartless (former American Idol winner does a great job on this Kanye West song, making you wonder how can anyone be so Heartless?)
Quarterflash — Harden My Heart (the result of all of this today)
Bruce Springsteen — Hungry Heart (classic song from our Jersey man, but as The Boss says "We Took What We Had and Ripped It Apart")
The Wallflowers — 6th Avenue Heartache (might have been where you last saw your heart)
Backstreet Boys — Quit Playing Games With My Heart (we don't have time for that *&%*)
Heart — Who Will You Run To (after you mess it up, you'll realize you may be too late)
Blondie — Heart Of Glass (feel the shattering effect!)
Celine Dion — My Heart Will Go On (usually does even after all of this, but in Titanic Rose said "I'll never let go Jack" and then she let go!)
Hope that next year your Heart is fulfilled for Valentine's Day, and feel free to add your ideas to this version of The Playlist.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo baseball team did not have an answer on Friday night as they fell 9-4 to visiting second-ranked Florida Southern College in the opening game of a Sunshine State Conference series at Thomas B. Southard Stadium.
Southern pounded out 12 hits, including four home runs in posting their 26th win of the season.
The Mocs (26-5, 6-1 SSC), riding a seven-game winning streak, came into Saint Leo with hot bats as they dropped three runs on the Lions before SLU had their first opportunity at-bat. FSC saw Will Cherry hit the first of his two home runs of the game over the center field wall to get the 3-0 lead.
The Lions (13-21, 4-6 SSC) answered with two runs in the bottom of the first frame when Jonathan Duncan's fielder's choice scored a run and a Dustin Brown single through the right side plated Duncan.
The Mocs would score two more runs in the top of the third off of another Cherry blast to put the score at 5-2 .
The visitors from Lakeland, Fla. scored single runs in the sixth and seventh as a result of solo homers, and a two-spot in the eighth while Saint Leo was only able to plate single runs in the fifth and seventh for the loss.
Both teams would send three pitchers to the mound on the evening with both starters picking up the decisions. Max Russell tossed six complete to improve to 5-0 while Jeff Bloomer went 6.1 as he fell to 1-1.
Brown and Bobby Munoz both went 2-for-4 in the loss and each earned a lone RBI.
Both teams continue the Sunshine State Conference series on Saturday with doubleheader action from Thomas B. Southard Stadium getting underway at 1:00 p.m.

I've been thinking a lot about institutions – those who can't function without them, and those who can't fit into them.
Two things converged for me this past week: I'm working through a training program in executive coaching and considering the difficulties of coaching my clients to function better within large organizations, especially in cases where the clients may not really want to be part of such an institution the first place. And then, a question came in from someone wondering whether to drop out of college to start a business.
And personally, I have a storied history with institutions: I was always in combat with teachers and professors (like my third-grade teacher who incorrected corrected "ice cream sundae" to "ice cream sunday" – rage, rage, against the dying of literacy!) In my masters in education, I've viewed my classmates as horrifyingly subservient and unskeptical. And I always harp on multiple income streams – I don't want any one boss to have enough power over me that he or she can tell me when to get up in the morning and where to sit for forty hours per week.

The lines were drawn for decades of bloody conflict, a conflict that now stands on the brink of being finally resolved with the astonishing prospect of Paisley's DUP and Adams's Sinn Féin sharing power in a devolved government. If that happens, it will mark the triumph of the extremes of loyalism and republicanism, which have marched over the debris of their moderate political rivals in both camps. It would also crown Tony Blair's decade of endeavour to solve the Irish Question. If success is achieved, it will rank high in the Blair legacy - although it is unlikely to overshadow the chaotic legacy of Iraq.
But we're not there yet. The republican movement has delivered its part of the bargain. The IRA has decommissioned its arsenal and Sinn Féin declared its support for the reformed Police Service of Northern Ireland, turning on its head almost 90 years of violent hostility to policing in the North. Remarkably it did so with only a marginal 5% dissent.
Adams has declared "the war is over", and Paisley knows that it is - at least in the military sense. He's far too long in the tooth to believe that republicans have set aside their historic goal of a united Ireland and knows that they will continue to pursue that holy grail for which so many of their comrades have died.
The irony is that Paisley may be about to become prime minister himself. If so - given declarations down the decades that he would never, ever surrender - how will he spin such an extraordinary turnaround to supporters who have long worshipped him as the rock on which Protestant Ulster and the union have stood?
First, Paisley could argue that through standing firm and refusing to compromise, he has finally defeated the IRA - and that the enemy, at least the armed version, is no more. Second, that the union is secure - ironically made so by the Good Friday agreement their leader rejected. Sinn Féin has accepted that Northern Ireland will remain part of the UK as long as that remains the wish of the majority of its people. And that means it is likely to do so for a long time.
The intriguing question is: will Paisley declare such triumph from the steps of Stormont and the world's television studios to rub it into the noses of his partners in government? Perhaps he will hold back: Paisley, seen by many as the monster of old, now the peacemaker and statesman. We'd still have to blink to believe it. It would be wrong to think that the "Big Man" has changed. He has not. His instincts and his Free Presbyterian faith remain strong. If he finally does the deal and becomes the province's prime minister, he knows that the enemy is now within and he has no illusions about its determination to pursue the goal of a united Ireland.
Paisley helped politicise the young Adams on the Rising's 50th anniversary. Prime Minister Paisley will do all he can to make sure Adams does not achieve his goal by its centenary in 2016. A marriage in government between Sinn Féin and the DUP there may be, but the going is likely to be rough.

Baucus: Full 5-Year Transportation Re-Authorization Unlikely, For Now
(Billings, MT – YPR) – A leading member of the Congressional conference committee working on a transportation reauthorization bill doubts the panel will craft a full reauthorization bill by the June 30th deadline.
"Not this time," says Senator Max Baucus (D-MT). "I don't think there's enough time in Congress. Believe it or not there's not that many legislative days before Congress adjourns in October. But we've set it up so we have more than enough time next year to do a full reauthorization as a full 5 year bill."
The current legislation expired in 2009.
Baucus (D-MT) chairs the Senate Finance Committee and the Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure. He's a ranking member of the conference committee tasked with finding common ground on a transportation bill before the current extension runs out at the end of June.
"I think everyone realizes that we've got to pass a highway bill and we'll get it done," says Baucus.
Baucus invited ambassadors from 5 foreign countries to visit several Montana communities this week to talk about trade opportunities.
He says the transportation conference committee is still working on issues, like the Keystone X-L pipeline. Some members of Congress want this and other projects inserted into the transportation bill. The original Keystone X-L project sought to build a 1,179 mile pipeline from the Tar Sand Fields in Alberta, Canada to refineries along the U-S Gulf Coast.
"Having said that, the main point is that we are close to figuring out how to pay for the highway bill so we can extend it until next September," Baucus says. "Hopefully for a little bit longer than that but at least to next September." (September 2013)
Baucus says Congress knows businessmen, highway contractors and states are looking for more certainty when it comes to transportation funding.

Vital Signs for the Week of Aug. 22
It's another slow summer week for economic data. Among the sprinkling of economic reports coming out, economists will most likely be keeping an eye on those involving housing and energy.
Mortgage rates have rallied in recent weeks. While 30-year fixed rates are still at historically low levels around 6%, the recent gains may be a precursor to a cooler second half for the housing market. Both new and existing home sales are expected to have slowed a little during the hot and steamy month of July.
To be sure, the demise of the housing market has been forecast many times in the past couple years by economists. However, the risks for a slowing housing market heading into 2006 appear to be rising. If the economy remains strong during the second half, then interest rates are likely to keep moving higher as the Federal Reserve ratchets up the fed funds rate.
The turn in expectations for stronger second-half economic growth and the Fed's reiteration that rates will keep on rising led the 10-year Treasury note to bounce back from 3.9% in late June, to over 4.2% currently. While more jobs and rising income are good for housing, interest rates will be the most important factor.
Energy has been another hot market. On Aug. 18, Goldman Sachs said oil prices are likely to stay above $60 per barrel for the foreseeable future, and other market watchers are ratcheting up their oil-price forecasts for 2006. The longer the latest run-up in oil prices lasts, the greater the chance the economy will slip up again as it has done during the second quarters of both 2004 and 2005.
Analysts will be closely monitoring the weekly Energy Information Administration (EIA) report on energy inventories out each Wednesday. Refinery issues led to large declines in inventory levels in the Aug. 17 EIA report. With the hurricane season underway, it will be important to see if inventory levels for oil, gasoline, and heating oil can remain at adequate levels.
Here's the weekly economic calendar.
ICSC-UBS STORE SALES Tuesday, Aug. 23, 7:45 a.m. EDT
Tuesday, Aug. 23, 7:45 a.m. EDT
This weekly tracking of retail sales, compiled by the International Council of Shopping Centers and UBS bank, will update buying activity for the period ending Aug. 20. During the week ended Aug. 13, sales fell 0.2%, following a 0.8% decline in the week ended Aug. 6.
INSTINET REDBOOK RESEARCH STORE SALES Tuesday, Aug. 23, 8:55 a.m. EDT
Tuesday, Aug. 23, 8:55 a.m. EDT
This weekly measure of retail activity will report on sales for the third fiscal week of August, ended Aug. 20. During the first two fiscal weeks of the month, sales were off 0.9% compared to the same period in July. For the entire month of July, sales were up 0.3%.
EXISTING HOME SALES Tuesday, Aug. 23, 10 a.m. EDT
Tuesday, Aug. 23, 10 a.m. EDT
Sales of existing homes, which includes single-family homes and condominiums, most likely slowed a little. The consensus among economists surveyed by Action Economics is for an annual rate of 7.25 million during July. The National Association of Realtors reported June sales reached an annual pace of 7.33 million, after easing to a rate of 7.14 million in May.
RICHMOND FED SURVEY Tuesday, Aug. 23, 10 a.m. EDT
Tuesday, Aug. 23, 10 a.m. EDT
The Richmond Federal Reserve Bank will release the August survey of business conditions in the Richmond Fed district. The region's manufacturers showed scant signs of improved confidence in July.
The headline shipments index held at -3 in July, after slipping to -3 in June, from 4 in May. The new orders index did improve to -3, after tumbling to -7, from 5 in both May and April. Nonetheless, the July new orders index did show that more respondents than not saw orders decline. Manufacturers also trimmed payrolls for a fifth straight month according to the survey.
The outlook for the coming months retreated in July, to 17. In June, the index bounced up to 22, from 17 in May. There was a small improvement in the new orders index for the next six months, while the unfilled orders index edged up to 10, from 9 in June.
As far as pricing power and input costs are concerned, manufacturers see little change in the recent trend. Price hikes for the goods manufacturers produce are expected to remain smaller than changes in input costs.
MEETING OF NOTE Wednesday, Aug. 24, 6 p.m. EDT
Wednesday, Aug. 24, 6 p.m. EDT

MORTGAGE APPLICATIONS Wednesday, Aug. 24, 7 a.m. EDT
Wednesday, Aug. 24, 7 a.m. EDT
The Mortgage Bankers Assn. releases its numbers on mortgage applications for both home buying and refinancing for the week ending Aug. 19. The purchase index increased to 499.3 during the week ended Aug. 12, after rising to 498.8 in the prior period from 494.5 over the week ended July 29. The four-week moving average did post an increase to 494.4, from 491.8 for the week ended Aug. 5. The average rate on a conventional 30-year fixed mortgage, according to HSH Associates, climbed to 6.06% during the week ended Aug. 12. For the week ended Aug. 5 the mortgage rate stood at 6%.
The MBA's refi index bounced back. In the period ended Aug. 12, the index came in at 2285.5, from 2176.5 in the week ended Aug. 5. The four-week moving average kept falling. In the week ended Aug. 12, the average stood at 2335.5, down from 2341.3 for the period ended Aug. 5. The moving average has fallen for four straight weeks.
DURABLE GOODS ORDERS Wednesday, Aug. 24, 8:30 a.m. EDT
Wednesday, Aug. 24, 8:30 a.m. EDT
Orders for durable goods coming into factories probably fell in July. According to Action Economics, orders are expected to decline by 1.4%. The Census Bureau issued revised benchmark data on Aug. 19 going back to 2002. The expected July drop would come on the heels of a 2.8% increase in June (revised from 1.4%) and a 7.3% surge in May (revised from 6.4%). Overall May orders took off due to strong civilian aircraft bookings. However, the June increase, while smaller, reflected broader gains. The most encouraging turnarounds came in computers and machinery.
After two strong months and the typical monthly volatility in new orders, the forecasted dip for the overall July total should not be viewed too negatively.
Another measure for business spending is durable goods orders less defense equipment and aircraft categories. In June, this core measure of capital goods orders measure rebounded with a 7.1% jump (revised sharly higher from 3.8%), after a fall of 0.5% in May, and a 0.8% gain in April.
NEW RESIDENTIAL SALES Wednesday, Aug. 24, 10 a.m. EDT
Wednesday, Aug. 24, 10 a.m. EDT
New single-family homes sales are expected to have slowed a little in July. The consensus among economists queried by Action Economics is for sales to stand at an annual pace of 1.3 million. In June, sales rose to an annual pace of 1.37 million, from 1.32 million in May. If mortgage rates continue their upward trend of late, sales should begin to slowly ease during the final four months of the year. Even so, 2005 should end up being another record year for home sales.
EARNINGS REPORTS Wednesday, Aug. 24
Wednesday, Aug. 24
Dollar General, Toll Brothers, and more.
JOBLESS CLAIMS Thursday, Aug. 25, 8:30 a.m. EDT
Thursday, Aug. 25, 8:30 a.m. EDT
First-time claims for jobless benefits for the week ended Aug. 20 probably dipped to 315,000, close to the 316,000 reading for Aug. 13. Jobless claims came in at 316,000 for the week ended Aug. 13, and stood at an upwardly revised 310,000 for the week ended Aug. 6.
The four-week moving average edged up to 312,800, from 310,000 for the period ended Aug. 6. Continuing jobless claims for the week ended Aug. 6 ticked up to 2.59 million, from 2.57 million in the previous week.
HELP WANTED ADS Thursday, Aug. 25, 10 a.m. EDT
Thursday, Aug. 25, 10 a.m. EDT
The Conference Board releases its July index of help-wanted ads, based on ads gathered from major newspapers across the nation. The national index edged back up to 38 in June, after dropping to 37 in May, from 39 in both April and March. A year ago, the July index was 37.
The percentage of markets with a rising want-ad volume improved to 47%, from 41% in May, and 35% in April. The upward trend is encouraging and fits with other jobs data. At the same time, help-wanted advertising shrank in seven of the nine U.S. regions in the three-month period through June.
The issue with this report is the migration of job postings to the Internet. With more employers putting job openings on their web sites and Internet job sites, such as Monster.com, the accuracy of traditional help-wanted listings in gauging the labor market may be waning.
MEETING OF NOTE Friday, Aug. 26
Friday, Aug. 26
Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan speaks about central banking at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
CONSUMER SENTIMENT INDEX Friday, Aug. 26, 10 a.m. EDT
Friday, Aug. 26, 10 a.m. EDT
The University of Michigan's Survey Research Center will report its final reading of consumer sentiment for August. The median estimate from Action Economics is a reading of 92.7, unchanged from the preliminary August result. The final July reading was 96.5, after climbing to 96 in June, from 86.9 in May.
According to the University of Michigan, consumers expected slower economic growth as a result of higher gasoline prices. Even so, consumers felt better about their financial situation.

Mark, tempered glass can not be cut, period. 99% of all curved glass is tempered, windshields being part of that 1% that is ALWAYS "Safety plate" (the two layers of glass with plastic in the middle). I am not certain of the actual process of manufacturing tempered glass. But as the name implys after the glass is formed into shape it is "tempered" with heat to have a "layer" of super hard glass on the outside. When that super hard layer is penatrated, the ENTIRE sheet "fails" and the ENTIRE sheet falls apart into tiny 1/4" sized pieces.
It is strange stuff, you can throw a brick at one of these windows and it MAY bounce right off! OR, you can take a tiny piece of ceramic from a spark plug and throw it at it and it will break into a million 1/4" pieces! That is a little trick if you ever have one to break, a tiny piece of spark plug ceramic WILL break it almost every time!
The 56 Buick (as in all GM cars) had a safety plate windshield and side glass with a tempered back glass. The side glass is all perfectly flat by the way. There is no car made today that has this, all glass but the windshield is tempered on 99% of cars today. There are a few exceptions in high end cars and cars with side air bags (a very few) that have curved safety plate on the sides.
I did a little Mythbuster experiment on sandblasting tempered glass on this thread.
Urban Myth?
It can be ground with a wet belt. I know a glass guy who converts 65 Mustang Coupe door glass to Convertible glass by grinding the rear corner down a little. But it literally takes DAYS to do it, grinding a tiny amount every day.
Nope, cutting the curved tempered glass has been the "Holy Grail" top choppers have been searching for since the first car with it was chopped.

Hey all,
I'm new to the sport and unfortunately new to the area. I'm not sure if it's legal to hunt someones field (with their permission) if it's within city limits? For example, I live just north of Lancaster in a small town called Lititz... technically Warwick Township... is it legal to hunt a local field as long as I'm 150 yards away from any dwelling? How about just North of the small Lancaster Airport?
Thanks for any advise or info!

Midnight Sighing
"Tell the rich of the midnight sighing of the poor, lest heedlessness lead them into the path of destruction, and deprive them of the Tree of Wealth. To give and to be generous are attributes of Mine; well is it with him that adorneth himself with My virtues." (Baha'u'llah, The Persian Hidden Words)
The Center for American Progress has some must read information about the current budget debate. It includes a draw-dropping "infographic" comparing the cost of 10 safety net programs anticipating steep cuts and the cost of a variety of tax cuts that benefit corporations and the wealthy.
As a social worker, I witness daily the human cost of cuts like these. I'd like to invite those contemplating making such cuts to spend some time with these people, look them in the eye and tell them they are not worth the money. I'd like them to tell these folks that and then explain why those who have the least are paying for tax breaks for those who need them the least. I hear politicians telling us that "we're broke" and so have to "make sacrifices". As Michael Moore recently pointed out, that is a highly debatable assertion. Even if that were accurate, we need to have an honest debate about how we got broke. Is it really because we are spending too much money on low-income housing or early childhood programs?
I keep wondering lately when Americans will have their Tahrir Square moment regarding the extremes of wealth and poverty in this country. When will we say enough is enough? When will we say loudly and without equivocation that we will not allow budgets to be balanced on the backs of the poor in the richest nation on the planet. We must do better. 'Abdu'l-Baha put it this way:
"A financier with colossal wealth should not exist whilst near him is a poor man in dire necessity...Men must bestir themselves in this matter, and no longer delay in altering conditions which bring the misery of grinding poverty to a very large number of the people. The rich must give of their abundance, they must soften their hearts and cultivate a compassionate intelligence, taking thought for those sad ones who are suffering from lack of the very necessities of life." (Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 153)
My point is not to engage in vilification of the wealthy, which is counterproductive and, I believe, counter to Baha'i teaching. It is not the possession of wealth, but policies and practices that concentrate it in the hands of the few at the expense of the many that is problematic both socially and spiritually:
"It should not be imagined that the writer's earlier remarks constitute a denunciation of wealth or a commendation of poverty. Wealth is praiseworthy in the highest degree, if it is acquired by an individual's own efforts and the grace of God, in commerce, agriculture, art and industry, and if it be expended for philanthropic purposes. Above all, if a judicious and resourceful individual should initiate measures which would universally enrich the masses of the people, there could be no undertaking greater than this, and it would rank in the sight of God as the supreme achievement, for such a benefactor would supply the needs and insure the comfort and well-being of a great multitude. Wealth is most commendable, provided the entire population is wealthy. If, however, a few have inordinate riches while the rest are impoverished, and no fruit or benefit accrues from that wealth, then it is only a liability to its possessor." (Abdu'l-Baha, The Secret of Divine Civilization, p. 24)

Sheila, thanks. I hope you are right.ReplyDelete
Excellent blog post for pulling it all together, Phillipe. It's so frustrating, over-all, that there is no real consultation taking place on these points. Jeffrey Canada (Harlem education project) was on the news this week talking about cuts to education - essentially the terrible absurdity of expecting kids already in difficult circumstances to do more with less. All of this pushes really hot buttons for me. Thanks for bringing attention to the topic and the resources. You always give good food for thought.ReplyDelete

As a retired social worker, I'm deepened sadden by the underlying attitudes of those who are advocating and pushing through the cuts to the poor, women health care, education and diplomacy. Over the last thirty years, there has been a attitude of the 'I' over the 'We which has fostered a deep sense of entitlement and self-centeredness. There has been a worship of making money and the acquistion of material pursuits. If I want it even at the expense of another, I should get it. There is a belief that jobs that deal with the acquistion of wealth are more important then the ones that deal with the basic needs of humanity. We would rather see a person without medical care then even discuss whether or no our health care system is working for all. It should give us pause that the German and Swiss people and their countries leadership created major changes to their health insurance and health care systems to make them accessible to all. Of course, the Germans and Swiss aren't spending more on their military budget then any other country in the world. Our values are distorted.ReplyDelete
Thanks for this. I too have been in the field with people who are addicts, in poverty, homeless, etc. and I want to say there is a big growing swell of people being dumped by many 'systems' (health care, economic, educational, justice, etc. etc.). Hey when we can bail banks out and ignore homeless, drunks, children, men and women with 'tragic expression of unmet needs'? (NVC) I'd say we are facing a major crisis (that is already showing up on the streets) and that we are all going to suffer from so we had best do what we can to change this sad state of injustice. We are overdue for some sanity.ReplyDelete
Reminds me of this quote from the Universal House of Justice:ReplyDelete
"On the one hand, the region can justly boast brilliant achievements in the intellectual, technological and economic spheres. On the other, it has failed to reduce widespread poverty or to avoid a rising sea of violence that threatens to submerge its peoples. Why – and the question needs to be asked plainly – has this society been impotent, despite its great wealth, to remove the injustices that are tearing its fiber apart?
The answer to this question, as amply evidenced by decades of contentious history, cannot be found in political passion, conflicting expressions of class interest, or technical recipes. What is called for is a spiritual revival, as a prerequisite to the successful application of political, economic and technological instruments. But there is a need of a catalyst. Be assured that in spite of your small numbers, you are the channels through which such a catalyst can be provided."

I had 9 puppies yesterday. Jeez, am I ever tired. Things are in a up roar in my kennel. I have 5 girls and 4 boys. They look more like me than the father Rocky who is the family pet of my female owner Michelle's cousin Trey. Trey and his family stayed with us this past summer via a military move. To make a long story short, my owner had no idea I was in heat and one thing lead to another and Rocky who is Black Lab and I are now proud parents. I know in the near future that my babies will all have to have new homes but for now they are here with me, my owners and their daughter, my human sister.
Yesterday when I went into labor, my female owner Michelle called all of the perspective future owners of my pups. Aunt Cindy was called first. She was in the middle of trying to buy a new car. She came as soon as she could. Her and Uncle Wayne have no other pets and I know for a fact she'll make a good mommy to any of my pups. At Christmas myself and the three cats who live with my owners were given presents a Christmas from her. She even remembered Doggy Chocolates! The second call was Uncle Sandy. He loves me and Rocky so much that he wants two of my babies. He takes good care of me when my human parents are out of town. He has one other dog (Sable) and I'm sure she'll help take care of the two that Uncle Sandy decides to take home. Uncle Blake was called third. He's Uncle Sandy's older brother and just as kind to my human family and myself as Uncle Sandy. He wants Lucky #7 already. After the birthing was over and I used the Facilities I asked to be let outside where the humans were all waiting and personally went up to each one to thank them. My Uncle Blake also has a friend that came by who is interested in one of my babies as well. So up to this point I know that 5 of my babies will have very good homes. I human owners weren't looking for 4 more dogs, but however if no other really good homes offer the other 4 a home, they have promised me that the remaining 4 will be staying here.
Next week we all go to the vet for a check-up and then again in a couple of weeks for deworming and again in 6 to 8 weeks for one more deworming then everyone goes to there new home. I'll be getting fixed and continuing to live my life as a Army Dog Dependant!

I replied to your email earlier, but I will also comment here. I am a huge Dale Fricke fan and really like his Archangels. I have 4 of his rigs and 3 horizontal mag pouches. They are my preferred AIWB holsters. I have been using a Pardus from Cane & Derby for a G17 and a Shaggy from Custom Carry Concepts for a G19. Both of them are fine holsters and may even conceal the butt better than the Archangel because of wedges built into the holsters, but I still prefer Dale's holster as of right now. Biggest problem right now with the Pardus and Shaggy is getting one. It took me 4 months to get my Pardus and I had to buy the Shaggy used from a buddy of mine or it could take 6-8 month for one. I prefer Kydex because I sweat pretty good, and it is usually hot here in Georgia. So leather doesn't work for me and I have not tried any leather AIWB holsters that are being made. What works for me, may not work for you. AIWB is so damn hard to dial in, and is very dependant on body type and shape.
I personally think you are cheating yourself by not having a stiffer belt like a A&G, The Beltman or a Wilderness. A stiff belt, with a quality holster makes AIWB very comfortable and really stable for me.
Pics if anyone wants to look. Pardus, Shaggy and Archangel.
Archangel with G19
Shaggy with G19. Notice the wedge that is built into the design to bring the butt into the body.
Shaggy and Archangel side by side.
I hope that helps.

text: Louis Smith, Beth Tweddle and Nadia Comaneci join BBC1's gymnastics-themed Tumble Presented by Alex Jones, the series will see ten celebrities tackle a range of gymnastics skills on live TV. Yes, LIVE TV Comments Written By Susanna Lazarus 10:29 AM, 29 May 2014 First Splash!, now Tumble. It's been two years since the Olympics and broadcasters are still rolling out their increasingly eccentric sports-based formulas... But that hasn't stopped the stars queueing up to appear on BBC1's new Saturday-night gymnastic-themed contest Tumble. The upcoming series has attracted some big names from the world of gymnastics, headed up by triple Olympic gold medallist Nadia Comaneci who will serve as head judge. "I know what it's like to strive for that perfect 10!" said Comaneci, a gymnastic legend and the first-ever woman to score maximum points at the Olympics. "Your heart is pounding and your palms are sweaty, but when you step out onto that floor, or mount the bars or beam, you have to perform like your life depends on it. "The celebrities are going to be put through a fitness, gymnastic and acrobatic training regime that's like nothing they'll ever have experienced, and I can't wait to see the results!" Joining her on the judging panel is London 2012 medallist – and Strictly Come Dancing champ – Louis Smith alongside Team GB gymnastics captain-turned-broadcaster Craig Heap and cirque artist and aerial performer Sebastian Stella. "When you commit to something you've got to do it because you want to win," added Smith. "It's got to take over your life, your every waking moment. I also know how scary it is to be on a live Saturday-night entertainment show, so I'll definitely have a bit of empathy with the celebs on that!" But before they take on the high bars, beam and floor, the contestants will have a helping hand from Team GB's Olympic medallist Beth Tweddle who will perform and serve as a mentor on the series. Overseeing proceedings is Alex Jones who is "thrilled to be hosting this exciting new show, which is sure to offer jaw-dropping stunts and a visual spectacle." "No-one has told me yet whether I will be required to don a leotard or master the balance beams, but I am willing to give it a go," said the presenter, who earlier this month completed a terrifying 1200-foot rock climb for Sport Relief. "If this year has taught me anything, it is that no challenge is too great or too high!" No word yet on who the ten celebrities taking part will be, but we've promised an announcement in the coming weeks... Like this? Share it.

Daylighting design in the architectural design studio
Demirbilek, Nur, Garcia Hansen, Veronica, & Gard, Stefan (2009) Daylighting design in the architectural design studio. In Proceedings of the 43rd Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Architectural Science Association, Australian and New Zealand Architectural Science Association (ANZAScA), University of Tasmania, Launceston, Tasmania, pp. 1-8.
Published Version
This paper discusses two different approaches to teaching design and their modes of delivery and reflects upon their successes and failures. Two small groups of third year design students have been given projects focussing on incorporation of daylighting to architectural design in studios having different design themes. In association with the curriculum, the themes were Digital Tools and Sustainability. Although both studios had the topic of daylighting, the aim and methodology used were different. Digital Tool studio's aim was to teach how to design daylighting by using a digital tool, where as, Sustainability studio aimed at using scale modelling as a tool to learn about daylighting and integrating it into design. Positive results for providing student learning success within the University context were the students' chance to learn and practice some new skills –using a new tool for designing; integration of the tutors' extensive research expertise to their teaching practice; and the students' construction of their own understanding of knowledge in a student-centred educational environment. This environment created a very positive attitude in the form of exchanging ideas and collaboration among the students of Digital Tools students at the discussion forum. Sustainability group students were enthusiastic about designing and testing various proposals. Problems that both studios experienced were mainly related to timing. Synchronizing with other groups of their studios and learning of a new skill on top of an already complicated process of design learning were the setbacks.

About MeI feel I belong to the fashion and modelling industries because of my inane desire to develop as a model and strive for my absolute best in every situation. I am diligent in my work and I take assignments with an efficient and professional attitude. As a creative person I see myself in many fields of the performing arts, which aids in my work as I understand the conceptual basis of assignments.
I like to express myself creatively, I find artistic work and editorial work inspiring. I believe versatility is a foundation to all of my modelling. I have a cultural background that inspires me, with my father being European and with my mother being Brazillian, I pull influence from both these cultures.

Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Josh Brent will no longer be allowed on the Dallas Cowboys' sideline, team and league sources told ESPN.com Tuesday.
Brent, who is on the reserve/non-football injury list after being charged with intoxication manslaughter in the crash that killed teammate Jerry Brown two weeks, was on the sideline for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, unbeknownst to the Cowboys and officials in the NFL's offices.
The team and the league agree that it wasn't appropriate, sources told ESPN.com.
Brent attended the game after he was urged by several teammates. Coach Jason Garrett didn't know about it until pregame warm-ups, and owner Jerry Jones didn't know until he saw Brent on television. Garrett told reporters Monday that Cowboys players were honoring the wishes of Brown's mother, Stacey Jackson.
Sources said that Brent was taken there by a teammate who told him that his teammates wanted him there. He left the stadium in the third quarter, once he became aware that his presence was creating a controversy.
"It becomes a real sensitive topic to a lot of people when you're in a public place like the game," Garrett told reporters Monday. "There were no bad intentions other than to support Josh as part of our football team. This is a game and you need to be here. That's what our players wanted to convey to him and they really encouraged him to come to the game. I thought Josh handled it beautifully the way that he came and then when he felt like there were some issues he felt the right thing to do was to leave. But we're going to support him in every way that we can. We also will be sensitive to this kind of issue."

Tie One On
Everyone knows that its, like, totally difficult to surf on South Beach because of the lack of waves. Surprisingly enough, despite the boat-assisted speed that wakeboarding involves, its become even harder to practice that particular water sport in Miami. Theyre closing off a lot of waterways we used, because of manatee protection and that kind of stuff, laments Jonathan Joner Strauss. As the event organizer of Board Up, a competitive wakeboarding and music festival, he aims to prove that the sport can be done safely and happily without harming precious sea life.
Its really a sport on the rise, and the community would love it, Strauss explains. To celebrate the ocean-spraying festivals second year, some of the sports biggest names will be strapping on tow ropes. Lets say weve got like the legends of basketball Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson? Thats the caliber of wakeboarders who will be coming to this event, says Strauss. Sounds awesome. Everyone is invited to watch amazing wakeboarding tricks and gaze at babes in bikini contests. Big local DJ Irie will rock the turntables and up-and-coming bands like Made of Hemp will provide nonstop entertainment for landlubbing party people.

Apple has been actively pursuing different tech giants over alleged patent infringements. Recently, it won a landmark victory against Samsung, bagging a smug $1 billion in damages. However, Apple may be in for a few defeats too. HTC has been pursuing a patent case against Apple over LTE technology and it seems that the judge is somewhat convinced by the former.
HTC has accused that Apple has infringed two of its patents in order to transmit large amounts of data securely over LTE. It's important to notice that Samsung already owns some 10% of key LTE patents where HTC also has a few significant LTE-related patents to its name.
HTC was able to lay its hands on these patents by purchasing them off ADC Telecommunications for a whopping $75 million. If HTC's allegations against Apple convince the court enough, this can lead to a ban on the new iPad which makes use of LTE.
Also, it will have other far-reaching consequences for Apple. For instance, if the company chooses to make use of LTE in its upcoming iPhone 5, HTC can seek an injunction to even have that banned. While addressing Apple personnel, Judge Thomas Pender said, ""I don't care if they bought these patents to sue you or not. They are a property right."
So far, the case has swayed considerably in favor of HTC. For instance, when Apple claimed that HTC didn't have the rights to two former ADC patents, Pender dismissed the argument stating that these patents clearly were HTC' property now. What remains to be seen is that after having established that, will it also be established that Apple has indeed infringed the patents.
