"I just want my life to go back the way it was," Gibbs said as he sat on his porch in the same neighborhood near where he was shot last year.
Gibbs and his wife, Robin, were victims of what police called a "gang-type assault" April 10, 2011.
"We were walking home from her mother's house," Gibbs said.
As they turned from College Street onto Hogue Avenue, Gibbs said they noticed a man on the side of the road.
Mrs. Gibbs said she heard him make a suggestive comment as they walked past and muttered "really."
The man then allegedly said "Really. Really want to see it."
Then Gibbs said turned to look and saw the man was exposing himself.
"I told him that was rude, that was my wife, and he needed to have more respect than that," Gibbs said.
He said the teen then texted on his telephone, which seemed to prompt residents on that street into a vicious attack on the couple.
"Next thing I knew, they all came out. When I saw them all come out, I wanted to defend her," Gibbs said, referring to his wife.
The attackers numbered around 10, the Gibbs said. Mrs. Gibbs knocked a man off her husband and then six to eight women attacked her, the couple said.
"They just all went crazy," Gibbs said. "We fought back the best we could, but we couldn't really do any damage to them."
Gibbs was airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta hospital with a gunshot wound to the back. He spent seven and a half days there. Mrs. Gibbs was treated and released for her injuries at a local hospital.
Javon Delmond Bledson, 18, of 223 North Piedmont Ave., Rockmart was arrested as the triggerman.
He was scheduled to be in Polk County Superior Court in June for his arraignment but that was canceled after court officials said paperwork to transport him to the court wasn't completed in time.
Bledson is currently serving time after for a May 2010 robbery at the Little Bear Store on North Piedmont Avenue in Rockmart, according to court records.
Four others arrested in the case including Christopher Stocks, 23, of 207 Forrest Park, Apt. 2, Rockmart; Bethany Wiggins, 22, of 60 Craton St., Rockmart.; Pauline Bryant, 20, and Roberta Grandison, 22, both of 223 North Piedmont Ave, Rockmart, entered not guilty pleas by waiver submitted by their attorneys so they wouldn't have to make a court appearance.
The sixth man arrested on charges stemming from the incident, Chadd Philpot, 23, of 1285 Fairview Road, entered a not guilty plea in court earlier this year, according to officials.
All have been indicted by a grand jury in the Hogue Avenue shooting, records indicate.
Gibbs said Bledson was also implicated in a shooting at the old American Legion building at 319 Springdale Road on April 3, 2011, just days before he was shot.
Rockmart Police Det. David Gowens, who investigated both shootings, confirmed that police did look at Bledson in the American Legion case. Bledson was never arrested because two witnesses, including the man who was shot, refused to come forward, he said.
Gibbs said he wishes they would have reported that crime so Bledson would have been off the street when they were walking by that night.
"If the two people would have come forward, I wouldn't have been shot, but they wouldn't press charges," Gibbs said.
The man shot in the American Legion case was one of those arrested in the Gibbs shooting, according to Gowens.
Gibbs has a colonoscopy bag to remind him of his injuries.
Before the attack, Gibbs worked for his brother at Gibbs Construction. Now, he can't wear a tool belt and gets some part-time work painting and lawn care.
His part-time work, amounting to 10 to 15 hours a week, helps but doesn't really pay the bills. He said his brother has helped financially.
He doesn't have health insurance and needs ongoing medical care for his injuries.
Gibbs said there is a reconstruction surgery, which could get him back to normal life again, but it costs $50,000. He said he needs $5,000 to get the surgery and the hospital told him they would work with him to pay off the rest.
He has no idea where he could get $5,000. Right now, the couple doesn't have enough money to open a new bank account specifically designated to fund the operation.
Gibbs said it's frustrating.
"Now my colon is healthy, but I can't afford the surgery," he said.
Ongoing care for the colonoscopy bag is also expensive. Ten bags are $60 and Gibbs said he needs a new one every three days.
The couple has had assistance from the Georgia Crime Victim's Compensation Program, which financially helps those who are facing financial turmoil because of crime,
However, the couple has topped out at the maximum limit for help, according to Gowens.
Gowens said he has been working with the district attorney's office and the Rockmart Police Department to find some other help for the Gibbs.
There doesn't seem to be any.
The Gibbs are hoping the community has a solution - and compassion - to help them overcome health challenge.
Gibbs said what adds to the frustration is that he believes the group who attacked them was set on trouble and he and his wife just happened to be there when it erupted.
"They were looking for somebody to jump. I believe with all my heart it was a gang beating," he said.
"They came out the door like it was nothing."
Gowens said he knows the number of those participating in the beating was 10 or more, but six was all that could be positively identified by the Gibbs and independent witness accounts.
Gibbs said the thought that all but one of the group are on the street, walking around his neighborhood, and not going to trial anytime soon has left him angry.
However, he said he chooses not to live in fear and anger.
"I'm not scared to live here," he said. "I'm not scared to live anywhere because this is a crime. Crime happens everywhere."

Kidney stones are intense enough that rocker Vince Neil of Motley Crue had to leave a show Sunday and check into a hospital.
The story about the incident generated a lot of discussion among Internet readers who had experienced kidney stones themselves. Wrote Deaux, "I'm a mom of 4 children, and I've had 1 kidney stone. I'd rather have 4 more children than have 1 more kidney stone."
We spoke with Dr. Dianne Sacco, director of Massachusetts General Hospital's Kidney Stone Program, for more information about this condition. The following is an edited version of that interview:
How do you diagnose kidney stones?
One of the most common presentations is the flank pain on one side. It sometimes radiates down into the stomach, and it can actually radiate down into the genital area. That type of pain is pretty commonly seen in stone patients.
Sometimes there's nausea and vomiting. Those type of symptoms are something that gives us a clue that this may be a stone.
The CAT scan is the gold standard for imaging for kidney stones. That's usually the way to diagnose it. You can't do it from a blood test or anything else.
Why do people say that they are so painful?
What it does is, it blocks the flow of urine in the kidney, and it causes backup. And it's an excruciating pain. A lot of people do describe it as worse than childbirth.
When the system is trying to push urine out, what happens is: your kidney and your ureter -- they have this muscle propagation that goes down the kidney into the ureter -- when it's trying to push and the stone is blocking it, you get these intense pains. That's why we call it colicky, it comes and goes and it's extremely painful and the main reason for the pain is the backup of urine.

Political Perspectives
Unconditional Basic Income & the Politics of Work
Old Mole Joe Clement, and Kathryn Sackinger talk with sociology grad-student and Jacobin Magzine editor Peter Frase, about the idea of an unconditional and universal basic income. Because basic income often stirs strong feelings about people deserving their livelihood, they also spend a lot of time talking about prejudices against those who don't work in a conventional job and problems in the distribution of what counts as work. They consider what full employment really means and how it harms people when one-sided jobs rhetoric dominates economic justice conversations.
Below are links to articles and organizations mentioned during the show. If you would like to hear more on KBOO about basic income and the politics of work, please don't hesitate to email Joe.
The music and stories you hear at the beginning in the middle and at the end of the show are Utah Phillips singing "Hallelujah I'm a Bum".

David McNally on Global Slump: The Economics and Politics of Crisis and Resistance
Host Jay Thiemeyer speaks with David McNally about his book Global Slump, which analyzes the global financial meltdown as the first systemic crisis of the neoliberal stage of capitalism. McNally argues that – far from having ended – the crisis has ushered in a whole period of worldwide economic and political turbulence. In developing an account of the crisis as rooted in fundamental features of capitalism, Global Slump challenges the view that its source lies in financial deregulation.
McNally locates the recent meltdown in the intense economic restructuring that marked the recessions of the mid-1970s and early 1980s. Through this lens, he highlights the emergence of new patterns of world inequality and new centers of accumulation, particularly in East Asia, and the profound economic instabilities these produced. In Global Slump McNally offers an original account of the "financialization" of the world economy during this period, and explores the intricate connections between international financial markets and new forms of debt and dispossession, particularly in the Global South.
David McNally is professor of political science at York University, Toronto. He is the author of five previous books: Political Economy and the Rise of Capitalism (1988); Against the Market: Political Economy Market Socialism and the Marxist Critique (2003); Bodies of Meaning: Studies on Language, Labor and Liberation (2001); Another World is Possible: Globalization and Anti-Capitalism (2002; second revised edition 2006); and Monsters of the Market: Zombies, Vampires, and Global Capitalism (2011). His articles have appeared in many journals, including Historical Materialism, Capital and Class, New Politics, and Review of Radical Political Economics. David McNally is also a long-time activist in socialist, anti-poverty and migrant justice movements.

Fuel on the Fire: Oil and Politics in Occupied Iraq
Host Marianne Barisonek speaks with Greg Muttitt, author of Fuel on the Fire: Oil and Politics in Occupied Iraq.
The departure of the last U.S. troops from Iraq at the end of 2011 left a broken country and a host of unanswered questions. What was the war really about? Why and how did the occupation drag on for nearly nine years? And why did the troops have to leave? Now, in a gripping account of the war that dominated the last decade, investigative journalist Greg Muttitt takes us behind the scenes to answer these questions and tells the untold story of the oil politics that played out through the occupation.
Greg Muttitt was previously co-director of campaigning charity Platform, which exposes and fights the environmental and human impacts of the oil industry.
Since the Iraq war started in 2003, Greg has investigated the hidden plans for the future of the country's oil. This work took him to meetings where the US and UK government officials lobbied Iraqi decision-makers, and to meetings where Iraqi oil ministry teams discussed their future oil policy with western companies. He met some of the oil executives who hoped to benefit from transforming Iraq's oil industry, and the government officials and advisers they worked with. Greg also got hold of hundreds of unreleased British and American government documents, which described their plans and actions to reshape Iraq's oil industry.
But Greg also talked to ordinary Iraqis, and a few politicians, about what they wanted to happen to their oil. He attended Iraq's first anti-privatisation conference in Basra, and the meeting in Amman at which Iraq's trade unions decided they would fight the oil law the US was pushing. He made many Iraqi friends, and came to know some of Iraq's foremost oil experts. These experiences gave him a very different perspective from what we read in the papers.

George Lakeoff on Thinking and Talking Democratic
Host Michelle Schroeder Fletcher speaks with professor and author George Lakeoff about his new book, co-authored with Elisabeth Wehling, called THE LITTLE BLUE BOOK: The Essential Guide to Thinking and Talking Democratic. Lakeoff says the Democrats have too often failed to use language linking their moral values with their policies. He offers Democrats and progressives language to communicate their moral values clearly and forcefully, with hands-on advice for discussing the most pressing issues of our time. He also deconstructs the ways that extreme conservative positions have permeated political discourse.
George Lakeoff is Goldman Distinguished Professor of Cognitive Science and Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Don't Think of an Elephant!, among other works, and is America's leading expert on the framing of political ideas. Elisabeth Wehling is a political strategist and author working in the U.S. and Europe. She is doing research in Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, on how politics is understood both in American and Europe.

Little America: The War within the War for Afghanistan.
Host Marvin Simmons speaks with Rajiv Chandrasekaran about his new book Little America: The War within the War for Afghanistan.
Rajiv Chandrasekaran is a senior correspondent and associate editor of The Washington Post. From 2009 to 2011, he reported on the war in Afghanistan for The Post, traveling extensively through the southern provinces of Helmand and Kandahar to reveal the impact of President Obama's decision to double U.S. force levels. HIs previous book, Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone won numerous awards for non-fiction.
When President Barack Obama ordered the surge of troops and aid to Afghanistan, Washington Post correspondent Rajiv Chandrasekaran followed. He found the effort sabotaged not only by Afghan and Pakistani malfeasance but by infighting and incompetence within the American government: a war cabinet arrested by vicious bickering among top national security aides; diplomats and aid workers who failed to deliver on their grand promises; generals who dispatched troops to the wrong places; and headstrong military leaders who sought a far more expansive campaign than the White House wanted.
Chandrasekaran explains how the United States has never understood Afghanistan—and probably never will.

Fifteen Steps to Corporate Feudalism
Host Marianne Barisonek speaks with Dennis Marker, author of FIFTEEN STEPS TO CORPORATE FEUDALISM: How the Rich Convinced America's Middle Class to Eliminate Themselves From Ronald Reagan to the Tea Party Movement.
Never has a philosophy of a country shifted as radically as it has the last thirty years. Marker details in pull-no-punches prose how the assault on the middle classes is widespread and relentless. Determining our actions today can move us towards either a stronger, more positive future, or a future shrouded in fear, poverty, war.
In a full frontal attack by what Marker calls the Corporate Feudalists, Marker details how the middle class has become superfluous to the very rich and why various policies were deliberately created to eliminate them. Their defining characteristic is dirty, scorched-earth partisanship carried out regardless of cost. Conservatives are anxious again to finish first – with the big prize- monopoly control of the American government, and the power to turn their ideology into the law of the land.

Sibel Edmonds on her memoir "Classified Woman"
Host Marianne Barisonek speaks with Sibel Edmonds about her new memoir "Classified Woman." Sibel Edmonds is the most classified woman in U.S. history. In her memoir she takes us on a surreal journey that begins with the secretive FBI and down the dark halls of a feckless Congress to a stonewalling judiciary and finally, to the national security whistleblowers movement she spearheaded.
Having lived under Middle East dictatorships, Edmonds knows firsthand what can happen when government is allowed to operate in secret. Hers is a sobering perspective that combines painful experience with a rallying cry for the public's right to know and to hold the lawbreakers accountable. With U.S. citizens increasingly stripped of their rights in a calibrated media blackout, Edmonds' story is a wake-up call for all Americans who, willingly or unwillingly, traded liberty for illusive security in the wake of 9/11.

Hood River Development - Mr. Naito
Please ask Mr. Naito if his love of democracy extends to his business. Would he be willing to turn his development firm into a employee run cooperative corporation, giving ownership and organizational rights to employees. Mr. Naito's concern for democracy probably ends at doors to his corporation. Mr. Naito looks at this battle to develop the Hood River riverfront property as a public realtions battle. He will promise the community jobs and the city council financial support, and the council will eye the property tax revenue as a benefit to the community. If he is successful, once again we will be selling our responsibility to the land and the river for a short term gain. Mr. Naito cares little for the community, but operates on greed. If the environmental laws and regulations were not in place he would not be concerned at all with the impact of his development on the river, the wild life, and the ability of people to enjoy what nature have given us for free.
Bravo for having this debate, though. And controlling the civility of the debate.

GRINNELL – Both Iowa Wesleyan College and Grinnell College took turns gaining the upper hand in the match, but it was the Pioneers who got the last blow in as the Tigers fell in five sets in a non-conference match Wednesday night.
Grinnell won a deciding fifth set by a 15-10 score, ending a match in which both teams were convincing in winning alternate sets. The Pioneers won the first and third sets by scores of 25-16 and 25-17, respectively, while the Tigers won the second set 25-16 and sent the match to a deciding fifth set with a 25-15 win in the fourth set.
The closest sets in the match were the third and fifth ones, both of which were won by Grinnell. IWC actually held a 16-13 lead in the third set before the Pioneers scored 11 straight points to seize control. The final set also was close until Grinnell finished with the final three points of the match, including the final of 19 kills by Claire Reeder, who out-dueled IWC's Megan McVey (So.-Fort Worth, Texas) for match honors in that category.
The Tigers controlled the second and fourth sets, taking the lead for good early on and stretching it out midway through the sets, making use of a number of attack errors by Grinnell. IWC also played more error-free in the second and fourth sets, committing just 12 attack errors in those two sets compared to a total of 23 errors in the first and third sets.
McVey led the Tigers with a career-high 18 kills, while B.J. Wagy (Jr.-Cedar Rapids, Iowa) added 11 kills and six block assists. Allegra Tennis (Jr.-Madison, Wis.) added nine kills and four blocks, while Kendra Zimmerman (Jr.-Green Bay, Wis.) led the team in assists with 41 and digs with 20.
IWC returns to the court again Thursday night for another non-conference match. The Tigers host Culver-Stockton (Mo.) College at 7 p.m. at Ruble Arena for the team's second home match of the season.
For more information regarding the IWC volleyball program or any of the Tiger athletic teams, contact sports information director Adam Glatczak (319-385-6306 phone; 319-385-6384 FAX; firstname.lastname@example.com e-mail) or log on to IWC's athletics web site at www.iwc.edu/athletics.

Suns nearing draft selection -- could trade down, could add pick
Originally published: Jun 25, 2012 - 3:15 pm
After all, with as many players as there are to choose from, the chance that every Suns fan will be pleased is as likely as the chances of the Suns signing Deron Williams, which is to say "not happening."
However, the one thing the team could do that would upset everyone is trading down, which Suns GM Lance Blanks said Monday is a possibility.
The Suns, if you recall, sold traded
their first round picks from 2004-2007, decisions that
frustrated the fans and left the team with little young
talent today.
"I'm just covering myself just because there are so many things out there in terms of opportunity," Blanks said.
Blanks, it should be noted, is confident the team will have a list of at least 13 players it would like to draft, and thus would have little desire to trade down.
Blanks did say they are now in the process of going through all their information and creating a list, and is not yet sure what the end result will be.
"If we get to a point where it's 12 guys, maybe not, maybe we wouldn't," he said of making a selection at 13. "Where I sit today, and if the draft happened today -- and this is me working in a vacuum -- I think that we'd have a player there."
In fact, Blanks said the Suns would not be opposed to adding an extra pick, should the opportunity present itself.
"If it makes sense with what we're trying to do," he said, adding that the team is putting a heavy emphasis on getting younger. "By no stretch would we shun away from adding a pick."
Who the Suns will draft, though, very much remains to be seen. Blanks spoke highly of North Carolina point guard Kendall Marshall, calling him a "well accomplished, winning point guard." But while Blanks said the Tar Hell would fill a need, he still may not be the team's choice.
Because while Marshall averaged 9.7 assists to go along with 7.8 points per game as a sophomore last season, he may not be the best player on the board when the Suns are up.
"We want to hit it right," he said. "If that means a duplication at a spot so be it, because at the end of the day you want to have talented players and guys who can make it in this league and contribute to your roster.
"That's better than going away from a position where you already have depth or have an opportunity through free agency and you end up with a player who can't play in the league."

Surface Pro Windows 8 tablet once again available at the online Microsoft Store
Microsoft has again made its Surface Pro tablet running Windows 8 Pro available for purchase on its online store. The product has experienced stock issues since it was released. With the cheapest option starting at $899, Microsoft is certainly pinning the product as a premium experience with a rather expensive price tag. The original Surface tablet is already available with Windows RT, so what will consumers be getting with this new Surface Pro?
The highlight feature is of course the full installation of Windows 8 Pro. This tablet is a personal computer with all the capabilities of a desktop or laptop equivalent - no longer are consumers restricted to apps on the Windows Store. Fancy installing that game / software you had downloaded as an executable on an older machine? Now you can.
Packing an Intel CPU, the tablet is also quite the power house. Taking into account the entire specification readout, we're looking at a 3rd generation Intel Core i5 processor, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 4GB RAM, 64 / 128GB internal storage, 10.6" ClearType HD Display (1920x1080), USB 3.0, two HD cameras, Bluetooth 4.0 and a pen stylus. Not a bad bundle.
Here's what you'll be receiving with each price point:
The Surface RT starts at just $499, which is definitely the more cost-effective option should you not be requiring all the bells and whistles in a tablet solution. The Windows Store provides ample content for consumers and we can only see the catalogue improving over time. Microsoft has a fierce battle ahead in the market, but the Surface RT and Pro are solid entry products to get the ball rolling.
The 128GB version of the Surface Pro currently has a March 1st delivery estimation. Checking the UK online Microsoft Store reveals that the product is not yet available. We'll likely be seeing a similar launch to the first Surface tablet. Stay tuned for our hands-on and initial impressions of Microsoft's attempt to create a full-blown Windows experience on a small form factor.

Lucky! 128GB version still out of stock at the Microsoft Canada online store.

Old news. No offense.

+1 I tipped them Saturday lunchtime and was probably scooped by a couple of hundred people. I don't know who these guys are, thinking they can take a day and a half to compose an article during a Long Weekend holiday. Lazy buggers ;-)

Picked up mine SP 128g at Bellevue Square on Thursday!
jsnod25 says:
I love and totally miss the mall!
RyanDaLyon says:
God if the Surface pro had amazing metro apps, it and windows phone would shoot super high
CoZmicShReddeR says:
I own an Android and IOS tab there is nothing amazing about either one... I think the pro has more then enough decent apps for me plus a desktop! When people say amazing apps I doubt they'll ever be satisfied because apps to me will never be amazing... Now if you said Windows 8 lacked productive apps I would have disagreed or if you said it lacked decent game titles I would disagree...
Ben Lehtovaara says:
Got mine and loving it. Loaded it up with old favorite games that the GPU can handle: Legend of Legaia, Neverwinter Nights, Legend of Dragoon.
ladydias says:
Never played Neverwinter but your taste in Playstation games is exquisite. :D. Those are some of my absolute faves along with Star Ocean.
signal-2-noise says:
Awesome! Games I loaded on mine: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (my all time favorite so far), Temple of Elemental Evil, Faster Than Light.
frugo says:
Just sold my RT, now I have VivoTab Smart which was £399 in Argos and since it's Atom based tablet it runs much faster then Surface on ARM architecture and it's full Windows 8 experience, but you have to sacrifice a lot like Surface's great built quality, kickstand and covers, so I can't wait for Pro to be out and I'll definitely get it. That's why if ANYONE will be interested in getting my VivoTab Smart later this month I'll be selling it for £300.
jes1888 says:
Is it european versión? Is there any difference to the US version? Email me : email@example.com
rodneyej says:
This just cost tooooo much!! I can get a bad ass ultra book that has way better specs for the price of this thing. I want the surface pro bad, but its just not the smartest buy in my book.
nam v vo says:
Really, name one, i might want to buy too
unstoppablekem says:
Now my grandpa can order the 128GB surface pro.
rodneyej says:
Yeah, it would take a grandpa, and his pension, to pay for the damn thing..
inside man 55 says:
Let him enjoy, he has wanted one for his grandpa since last week
unstoppablekem says:
inside man 55 says:
That didn't come out right. I thought you mentioned your grandpa really wanted one last week, glad he has the opportunity to buy a surface pro 128 soon.
unstoppablekem says:
Brent Hazelton says:
The worst part about this comment is I remember him saying that from last week.... God I read too much WPCental.... Half the time some of the comments are the best part! Lol
unstoppablekem says:
Don't make fun of my grandpa.
rodneyej says:
Lol! I would never make fun of anyone's grandpappy.. I'm just saying that the SP is just to damn expensive. Now, maybe if it was $699 I would consider it. I mean, in time all the legacy apps will be developed in Metro app form, which in return will give the Surface RT a lot of capability, but besides apps the rest of the features don't add up to a $500 premium,, especially with less than 128gb of memory to work with.. I'll get me a W8 laptop in a few weeks instead, and wait for prices to drop before I go Surface pro.. But, I hope your pappy enjoys his new SPT!!
sicnus says:
All the price crying is foolish. Compare the Surface Pro to similar products from Lenovo, Acer, HP, Toshiba, etc... The price is fine. Quit the damn whining.
Tomasz S. says:
And compared to Apple's offerings the price is a real bargain.
MadSci2 says:
Correct. The apples and oranges comparisons are incorrect. Mind you, they are a symptom of lousy advertising that has left people unclear about what the Surface pro is, what it can do, and what it competes with. Those stupid commercial look like they were written by the scriptwriter for a 1980's Mentos commercial. No wonder people compare its price to an iPad!
Flagz says:
They need staff to compare better. In competitive terms, the RT is the iPad and the Pro is MacBook.
wpguy says:
There simply is NOTHING available right now that is equivalent to the Surface Pro in tablet form for less money. Nothing.
shizz0matic23 says:
Bought mine today! Love it!
rdubmu says:
The price is about right. The MacBook air is about the same price. For the person who said all legacy apps will run in metro form soon, I don't think so, desktop apps are here to stay for at least the next 5 years.
sl#WP says:
about right? You kidding. Its a ultra book plus a Tablet. How Much You would pay for That? 1500-1700. Plus You Never have to carry two arround.
Luminatic says:
Want a Windows 8 device ans an considering this. I just hope it arrives in my country before my old laptop falls apart. Could someone tell me if an external CD drive can be used with it? I know its old-fashioned, but I still need to be able to burn Audio CDs for my old-fashioned environment.
nam v vo says:
Go buy a portable dvdr drive like http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Edp...
signal-2-noise says:
Yes. I use an LG portable DVD writer. It works well with Surface and doesn't require the extra USB power cable to run.
Gken says:
I want a surface pro so badly, but I already have the RT and it fits every single one of my needs. UGH FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS>!
theta orionis says:
These are fine times we're living in when devices like the Surface Pro are available! I want a 128gb Surface...yesterday. The price is not prohibitive for me but availability is. I can wait though...tax return is on the way. ;-)
ihavewp8 says:
Love my surface pro. When I go to coffee shops I get many lookie Lois and yes most of them are ipad owners hahahah jealous apple trolls.
signal-2-noise says:
You should be telling these "lookie Lois's" that their iPad is NOT the same as the Surface Pro. They should own both.
jmcgraw24 says:
Mine's ordered, hope it gets here before March 1st, been trying to get a 128GB one since they came out.
fishhead_soup says:
I picked up my SP 128 from BB on Saturday. The experience of obtaining it lacked desirable qualities, however actually having it with the cyan touch cover doesn't suck.
I didn't know who to be more frustrated with, BB for not having it stock, not knowing a display model was there, not knowing I could pre-sale; MS for its tiny production runs; or ME for wanting the darn thing in the first place.
signal-2-noise says:
I ordered the 128GB from MS Canada late night on launch day. Received it Tuesday. It's awesome as many other Surface Pro owners will attest to. In addition to the cyan touch keyboard I picked up a MS Wedge mouse which works amazingly well despite it's small size.

Taking the condition of the cider into consideration I had an idea that would allow me to bring complexity into the final product without having to rely on the apples alone. So I have started work on a cysor. Cysor is a blend of mead and hard cider. The blending brings complexity while sharing the strengths of the individual components. For an added dimension, I am playing on some thoughts of Christmas and cold winter days. This means adding in some cinnamon, specifically I will be adding a couple cinnamon sticks to secondary.
When working with fresh juices I do not boil them (though I am not sure how the pasteurization will affect this batch). Pectin is an enzyme in apples that makes the liquid cloudy when it has been heated. Instead of boiling I sterilize the juice by adding crushed cambden tablets. This is a similar approach for stopping the fermentation to retain the sweetness of wines and ciders.

Jensen leads Tourists past Augusta in Game 2 of series
Published: Thursday, July 5, 2012 at 10:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 5, 2012 at 10:26 p.m.
ASHEVILLE — Recently back from an injury, Joey Wong showed out Thursday night at McCormick Field and got things started offensively for the Asheville Tourists in the fourth inning with an RBI triple following three scoreless innings from both teams.
The 5-1 win was the second straight of the Tourists' five-game homestand against Augusta that kicked off on the Fourth of July.
"(Kyle Crick) is one of their top pitchers; he's got a good arm, and our guys did an excellent job of being patient, of waiting him out and getting a good pitch to hit. Then we did some damage in the fourth and fifth innings," said Asheville manager Joe Mikulik.
Chris Jensen (9-2) pitched a near-shutout for Asheville, giving up just one run off seven hits and striking out six in eight and one-third innings. Crick (3-6) gave up Asheville's five runs off five hits, struck out four and walked six.
"You've got to tip your hat to Chris Jensen. What a good outing," Mikulik said. "I would've loved to have kept him in but his pitch count was too high."
Wong's (2-for-4) triple down the first base line in the fourth scored Taylor Featherston (0-for-1, two walks) and Jared Simon's sacrifice fly dropped Wong in for the 2-0 lead.
Jordan Ribera's (2-for-4) two-run RBI to right field in the fifth inning sealed the 4-0 lead for the Tourists and designated hitter Featherston's sacrifice fly right afterwards sent Will Swanner home for Asheville's final run of the night.
The Greenjackets' lone run came in the ninth inning off Garrett Buechele's sacrifice fly that scored Shawn Payne.
"We're trying to iron out some kinks that we had towards the end of the first half. We really didn't play as good as we thought we could and we're trying to get things squared away as far as our offensive approach and out pitchers coming out with the fastball and getting ahead in the count," Mikulik said.
The Tourists (55-30 overall) put themselves at 8-7 for the second half of the season. They will continue to iron out those kinks tonight in Game 3 versus Augusta, set for 7:05 p.m.
"We've got a ways to go to get ready for the playoffs," Mikulik said. "These guys have to have a plan every day to get ready and try to be the best player they can be the rest of the year."

News & Analysis
ISSCC preview: Revving ReRAMS, boosting memory bandwidth
Brian Fuller
ISSCC, scheduled for Feb. 17-21, 2013 at the Marriott, features a slightly smaller percentage of memory papers than usual for the five-day affair (9 percent of the total is down from 10 percent this year and 10 pecent in 2011), but the topics are no less fascinating.
Memory subcommittee chair Kevin Zhang of Intel notes in his memory overview, "We continue to see progressive scaling in embedded SRAM, DRAM, and floating-gate based Flash for very broad applications. However, due to the major scaling challenges in all mainstream memory technologies, we see a continued increase in the use of smart algorithms and error-correction techniques to compensate for increased
device variability."
However, "Emerging memory technologies are making steady progress towards product introductions, including PCRAM and ReRAM, while STT-MRAM is beginning to become a strong candidate for both standalone and embedded applications."
Revving ReRAM
One of the standout papers for the memory sessions comes from Toshiba and Sandisk, who will describe a 32Gb ReRAM (Resistive random-access memory) test chip developed in 24nm process, with a diode as the selection device.
The allure of alternative non-volatile memories has been high cycling capability and lower power per bit in read/write but their densities don't compete with NAND flash. ISSCC organizers noted that the highest density for a single chip published at last year's ISSCC is 64Mb for ReRAM and 8Gb for PRAM, while NAND can reach up to 128Gb.
The Sandisk-Toshiba test chip is a metal-oxide-based ReRAM is based on 24nm technology node with a diode as the selection device and a 2-layered architecture. Apparently as part of the stacking, a number of circuits are tucked under the array, including the selection transistor or decoder, bias-control circuit,
sense amplifier, page buffer, read/write control circuit and voltage regulator drivers, improving the array efficiency, according to a preview of the paper.
I would be interesting to see cost-per-bit targets for the various non-volatile technologies.
Brian, is your information from a press kit? Is it publicly available? I could not view abstracts from the advance program. Thanks.

@resistion, here's a link to the advanced program:
I'll see if I can get access for the press materials for you folks, which has some more detail but is gated right now.
its just a comment you understand but theres something very wrong here, it seems all these are test chips fresh out the lab, now thats good.
don't get me wrong, but people are fed up now always hearing whats perpetually always in the lad or test chip, and for no other reason than its here "last year's ISSCC is 64Mb for ReRAM and 8Gb for PRAM"
theres also mention of smaller future processes and how thats good 16nm,22nm,24nm etc
however where are the commercial products Today, and why didn't F RAM get a mention here ?
or Especially Mram gets only "making steady progress towards product introductions..." when
after talking with everspin on the phone directly states something far better , it's commercially available "NOW", "The ST-MRAM shown today is built on a standard 90nm process, and from that you get a 64Mb chip that is pin compatible with a DDR3 DRAM."
"Current DDR3 controllers, if they follow the spec fully, should be able to work with ST-MRAM."
"Looking forward a bit, if you can get 64Mb chips out of a 90nm process, think about what happens when you move to a modern process. Process"
and he finishes with best of all
"Impending shrinks mean ST-MRAM has a pretty good outlook. Once this technology goes mainstream it will change things, count on it.S|A"
so all told, finally we get this new (well old given Freescale commercialized oddball versions of this 2004 before passing it to everspin) fast as current Dram packages, in a cheap and generic 90nm process with lots of very quick progression to something even better Now, today,in stock,commercially,and so retail real soon now (in the real meaning of the end user word...)
like i said only wanted to make a comment, sorry for the tangent but you and everyone should be screaming this from all the front pages so people buy...
But why would commercialized stuff, already well-researched, be talked about at research conferences?
If MRAM or FRAM want to grow their niches, research might be the last thing they want to associate with.
i don't know perhaps the same reason antiquated limited write NAND Flash is still being researched
and talked about at research conferences?
and OC i don't recall it being said saying anything about it being "well-researched" only that its now a commercial product in a form people might use generally.
just because a produce is commercialized doesn't stop it being researched to bring improvements,NAND Flash proves that.
NAND is commercialized, so any talk at the conference is only leading to its demise. However, it is so entrenched, it doesn't need growth, and its demise won't happen overnight. On the other hand, exposing faults of MRAM or FRAM could severely limit their ability to grow their markets, right now.
and not to take focus away from MRAM above, theres also the news that samsung just made a 64GB embedded multimedia card (eMMC) using [10nm]-class process technology to also consider http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20121116PR206.html
and by that i mean everyone knows antiquated "limited write" NAND Flash SSDs are reaching their limits already and wont go much past their current speeds , its time to transition and everyone put cash into Mram and move move over until the other stuffs finally out the Lab and on the shelfs for real.
It's always been a fundamental question, in a multi-layered memory, with the peripheral portion taking up more and more area, perhaps even initially exceeding the array area, doesn't the cost/bit reduction from additional layers quickly reach its limit, making it questionable to say it extends scalability?

The CW Eyes Long Future For 'Supernatural'
Network's president says the series will return
The is "no question" that The CW's "Supernatural" is returning for an eighth season, according to Mark Pedowitz, the network's president.
Pedowitz expressed his support for the series Monday during the Television Critics Association's summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif. And he hopes to see stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki signed aboard for further adventures.
"The guys are great," Pedowitz said. "There's always conversations that happen. I am a big 'Supernatural' fan.
"I hope it stays on as long as I'm still here."
In addition, Pedowitz also confirmed the return of Misha Collins as angel Castiel, who will appear in at least eight episodes.
In Season 8, Jeremy Carver will serve as co-runner of the series alongside Robert Singer. Carver was a co-producer on "Supernatural" during the 2009-10 season before leaving to take on executive producing and co-showrunning duties on Syfy's "Being Human" alongside his wife Anna Fricke.
"Supernatural" follows the high-stakes struggle of two brothers, Sam (Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Ackles), who hunt and destroy monsters and the forces of darkness.

text: ArkansasWhat Is the Clinical Preventive Services Quality Performance Compared to All States?How Has That Performance Changed?The Clinical Preventive Services summary measure represents compliance with selected recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice. These two expert bodies use the best research evidence available to make recommendations on preventive services for people without symptoms of disease. Such services include immunizations, tests to screen for the presence of diseases, and behavioral counseling (such as programs that encourage smokers to quit). Most preventive services are provided in primary care ambulatory clinical settings. The meter represents Arkansas's balance of below average, average, and above average measures compared to all States. The performance meter has five categories: very weak, weak, average, strong, and very strong. An arrow pointing to "very weak" means all or nearly all included measures for a State are below average within a given data year. An arrow pointing to "very strong" indicates that all or nearly all available measures for a State are above average within a given data year. A solid arrow describes results for the most recent data year; a dashed arrow describes the baseline year. A missing arrow means there were insufficient data to create the summary measure for this State. Compared to all States, for the most recent data year, the performance for Arkansas for clinical preventive services is in the average range. For the baseline year, performance is in the average range. |

Firefighters and emergency personnel responded to a structure fire at 29 Shorthorn Road around 8:15 a.m. and found the home to be fully involved.
According to Gary Ray Johnson with the Rome-Floyd Fire Department, eight adults and four children were inside the mobile home at the time of the fire, which began in a back bedroom that was occupied by two teenage girls.
One of the two, a 19-year-old, received minor burns to her right side and leg while another woman was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. Both were treated at Floyd Medical Center and released later Monday.
Johnson said all of the occupants were able to get out of the home on their own.
"Someone inside yelled that the bed was on fire and one female grabbed her 5-year-old child and escaped from the building," Johnson said.
He said the other teenage girl in the bedroom where the fire started reported that she had to jump over the flames to get out.
Battalion Chief Phil Langston said that there was extensive damage to the inside of the structure. Firefighters were still on the scene an hour after arriving to put out hot spots.
Sarah Egan, Emergency Services director for the Northwest Georgia Chapter of the American Red Cross, said they are providing assistance for eight of the people displaced by the fire.
She indicated that two families were living in the home.
