NeoOffice is a complete set of office applications for Mac OS X. Since 2003, the NeoOffice engineers - Patrick Luby and Ed Peterlin - have been continually adding improvements to NeoOffice that our Mac OS X users will not find in OpenOffice or LibreOffice such as:
- Mac OS X Gatekeeper
- Mac OS X Versions
- Mac OS X Full-Screen mode
- Significant speed improvements to the OpenOffice and LibreOffice text layout, rendering, and printing code
- Native Mac OS X text highlighting
- Native file locking support for local and networked volumes
- Mac OS X Services support
- Native floating tool windows
- Extremely stable Mac OS X code that has been in daily use by thousands of users
New in NeoOffice 3.3
Download for Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.8.
This release adds several new features:
High resolution text drawing on Retina displays
Apple now ships Mac machines with Retina displays.
While text appears very blurry on a Retina display in applications that have not added support for Retina displays, the NeoOffice engineers have added code to draw text properly on Retina displays.
The top screen snapshot shows how our Retina display code draws high resolution text on a Retina display. In contrast, the bottom screen snapshot shows how text drawing appears in applications that do not support Retina displays.
Compatible with Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and Gatekeeper
Apple's Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion contains many changes. To ensure that NeoOffice will run smoothly on this new version of Mac OS X, the NeoOffice engineers have dedicated a significant amount of time testing NeoOffice on all "developer preview" versions of Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion to find and fix any changes that affect NeoOffice before Apple's official release of Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Also in Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, Apple has added a new feature called Gatekeeper that is designed to help prevent Mac users from installing malicious software on their machine. To ensure that NeoOffice will install and run on machines using Gatekeeper's default settings, the NeoOffice engineers have digitally signed all NeoOffice installers and binary files so that Gatekeeper can verify that the NeoOffice engineers are registered Apple software developers. The NeoOffice engineers digitally sign NeoOffice using our legal corporate name - Planamesa Inc. - so only NeoOffice installers signed by Planamesa Inc. should be trusted.
NeoOffice now uses Apple's Cocoa framework to display windows, manage menus, and print. This new Cocoa code replaces the Java code that performed these functions in previous versions of NeoOffice. The new Cocoa code improves NeoOffice's startup and printing speed. It also removes the need for Java - a technology that Apple has begun been phasing out of Mac OS X - for most NeoOffice users. Java is now only used to open Base database files and to run a small number of NeoOffice's many wizards.
Automatic installation of French, German, and Italian language packs
French, German, and Italian users no longer need to install a language pack. In previous versions of NeoOffice, users who wanted to see NeoOffice's menus, buttons, and help text in French, German, or Italian needed to install a language pack. While most users download NeoOffice from an English speaking country, a large number of our users download from French, German, and Italian speaking countries. By adding these three languages to the main installer, we estimate that 95% of NeoOffice users will not need to install a language pack.
Mac OS X features
Below is a list of some of the Mac OS X features requested by our users that are in NeoOffice 3.3 but are not in OpenOffice or LibreOffice:
In Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, Apple has added a new feature called Versions that allows applications to save and restore previous versions of your document. Using this new feature, saving a document causes Mac OS X to keep a copy of your document before any changes are saved so that you can restore any of the previous versions of your document.
The NeoOffice engineers have implemented this new Mac OS X feature and saving a file will automatically keep a copy of your document before any changes are saved. Also, by selecting NeoOffice's new "Revert to Saved" menu, you will be able to restore any of the previous versions of your document in Apple's document version browser.
In Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, Apple has added a new feature called Full-Screen mode that allows users to expand a window to fill the entire screen by clicking a new button in the window title bar.
The NeoOffice engineers have implemented this new Mac OS X feature and pressing the new button or selecting NeoOffice's existing View :: Full Screen menu will cause a document to enter Full-Screen mode.
In Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, Apple has added a new feature called Resume that allows applications to automatically reopen the documents that were open the last time that the application quit. This new feature helps Mac OS X users avoid the tedious process of reopening their documents after launching an application.
The NeoOffice engineers have implemented this new Mac OS X feature and NeoOffice will automatically reopen any documents that you had open the last time that NeoOffice quit immediately after NeoOffice has been launched. Also, NeoOffice users who do not like this new Mac OS X feature, will be able to disable this feature by selecting NeoOffice's new NeoOffice :: Mac OS X Options :: Disable Mac OS X Resume menu.
Native Mac OS X text highlighting
NeoOffice draws highlighted text the same as Apple's Safari and TextEdit applications. Recent versions of OpenOffice and LibreOffice attempt to emulate native Mac OS X text highlighting by drawing a very light shade of the system highlight color on top of the highlighted text. However, many of our users have requested that we support full native Mac OS X text highlighting behavior in NeoOffice so we have rewritten the text highlighting code in NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice code to draw highlighted text the same as Apple's various Mac OS X applications. The following screen snapshots show how NeoOffice's text highlighting behavior compares to OpenOffice's and LibreOffice's behavior:
Text highlighting in NeoOffice Text highlighting in OpenOffice and LibreOffice Open Calc or Impress instead of Writer at launch
The NeoOffice :: Open at Launch menu allows you to choose which type of document to open when NeoOffice is launched. By default, NeoOffice opens a Writer document when launched. However, many of our users have requested that we provide an easy way to make a different document type such as Calc or Impress open when NeoOffice is launched so we have added the NeoOffice :: Open at Launch menu.
When a user selects one of the document types listed in this menu, NeoOffice will open the selected document type the next time that you launch it. Also, users can select the "- None -" menu item to only show the Mac OS X menubar when NeoOffice is launched. The screen snapshot to the right shows the NeoOffice :: Open at Launch menu with Calc set as the document type to open at launch.
NeoOffice Mobile provides a way to securely share NeoOffice files with other users and other computers. It works by allowing you to "publish" a document from within NeoOffice to the NeoOffice Mobile server using a secure, encrypted connection. Once documents are published, they can be viewed using secure connections from regular web browsers or web-enabled mobile devices. Also, NeoOffice users can open previously published documents directly in NeoOffice.
Anyone can create a free NeoOffice Mobile account. Free accounts can upload and view documents but they are limited to only 100 megabytes of storage and their documents expire after 30 days. This allows users to try out NeoOffice Mobile and use it for temporary storage. NeoOffice users, in contrast, have access to the complete set of features. For more information on the features that each type of account has access to, please visit the NeoOffice Mobile pricing page.
NeoOffice now uses Apple's Core Text text layout and rendering functions. In contrast, OpenOffice and LibreOffice use Apple's obsolete ATSUI functions. The Core Text functions are up to twice as fast as the ATSUI functions and the Core Text functions provide improved text layout and rendering for many Windows OpenType fonts.
Native file locking support for local and networked volumes
OpenOffice and LibreOffice stopped using native file locking and started using custom, non-native file locking code. Since most office suite applications use native file locking, their custom, non-native code caused frequent problems when users on different machines were editing the same file on a networked volume. We have restored native file locking in NeoOffice and now file locking should work the same as it did in NeoOffice 2.2.6.
In NeoOffice, many of the menus within the NeoOffice :: Services menu will be enabled whenever you highlight data in your document. When you select any of the submenus in the NeoOffice :: Services menu, the highlighted data will be sent to the Mac OS X application that matches to the Services menu that you select. NeoOffice also supports Mac OS X services that change the highlighted data in your document.
Many Mac OS X users have found Apple's iLife Media Browser very useful and we have received many requests to include the same feature in NeoOffice. Fortunately, the generous people at Karelia Software have developed the iMedia Browser and we have integrated their iMedia Browser into NeoOffice. Once you open the Media browser by clicking on the Show Media Browser toolbar button or selecting the Tools :: Add-ons :: Show Media Browser menu, a floating window will appear from which you can drag your images, movies, sound files, or links directly into a NeoOffice document.
In OpenOffice and LibreOffice, many floating tool windows such as the Styles and Formatting and the Color windows look and behave like document windows. Also, other floating tool windows such as the Bullets and Numbering and the Table windows look and behave like Windows floating tool windows. But in NeoOffice, all floating tool windows in NeoOffice will be native floating tool windows. This means that they will look and behave like floating tool windows in most other Mac OS X applications. They will have the small window titlebar, all of the floating tool windows will float above the document windows, and when NeoOffice is not the active application, all of the floating tool windows will automatically be hidden until NeoOffice becomes the active application again.
Menus available when no documents are open
OpenOffice and LibreOffice have only a very minimal set of menu items available if no documents were open. But in NeoOffice, menus are available even when no documents are open. This feature allows users to access some of the frequently used menus such as the Recent Documents and NeoOffice Help menu items that previously were not accessible unless you opened a document first.
Import images from scanners and cameras
A menu - Tools :: Add-ons :: Paste Image from Camera or Scanner - has been added. Selecting this menu allows you to directly import images into NeoOffice from any device (such as digital cameras or scanners) that Apple's Image Capture application supports. If you have any devices attached to your machine that Image Capture recognizes, selecting this menu will display the Mac OS X Image Capture dialog. Using this dialog, you can import an image from any of the recognized devices into your current document. In addition, the imported image will also be copied to the system clipboard so that you can paste additional copies of the imported image in NeoOffice or any other application.
Command-clicking on window titlebar
In most Mac OS X applications, whenever a previously saved document is opened, a small icon will appear in the window's titlebar. Command-clicking on this icon will display a popup menu that lists the file name and the folders that the file is in. Clicking on any of these items will open the Finder.
Mac OS X grammar checking support
In Mac OS X 10.5.x, Apple added grammar checking support for a small number of languages. NeoOffice takes advantage of this Mac OS X feature and so we have added several menu items in the Tools :: Add-ons menu. These menu items allow you to use Mac OS X Leopard's grammar checker to check the grammar and recommend corrections for your document's selected text or your entire document. Please note that at this time, Mac OS X's grammar checker only supports English.

Series: Francis Collins and Karl Giberson Interview
In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins' scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.
The Vision Lives On
BioLogos has remained alive and is thriving. By the time this article was written, 239,000 unique individuals had visited the site.

Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Series: Thinking Aloud Together
This series by Scot McKnight relates a lecture given at the 2012 BioLogos workshop for Evangelical theologians, scientists, authors and pastors. He explains that evolution is taught in public schools, and therefore must be addressed by Evangelical pastors in the churches as well. This will educate a whole generation of upcoming scientists on the issues of science and faith. Overall, he encourages scientists and pastors to collaborate on the issue as they rethink the long held interpretations of Genesis 1-3.
Why should Christians consider evolutionary creation?
Because evolution is a challenging subject, many Christians are tempted to simply ignore or reject it. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and with our relationships with other people—believers and non-Christians alike. First, Christians should study evolution because (like all the natural sciences) it is the study of God's creation. Creation itself is a complementary revelation to what is communicated in the Scriptures, and through it God shows how and when he brought about life, to his honor and glory. Studying the creation is also an invitation into a deeper understanding of the attributes and character of Father, Son and Spirit. Second, considering evolutionary creation aids the Church in its gospel mission, supporting young Christians in their faith, helping answer critics, and equipping us to engage effectively in the wider culture. An anti-evolution attitude can harm Christian young people by presenting them with a false choice between pursuing science OR holding to faith. Similarly, a hostile attitude towards evolution can hinder evangelism when seekers hear that they must reject science to follow Christ. On the other hand, studying evolution as a God-ordained process helps Christians refute arguments that science encourages an atheistic worldview. Furthermore, as the church engages front-page issues raised by the rapid growth in science, medicine, and technology, a Christ-centered voice in such areas as bioethics will be stronger if based on a thorough understanding of the natural sciences, including evolution.

Series: A Quest for God
In this five part series, two young men, Josh and Aron, engage each other through e-mail letters. Their conversation oscillates between the seemingly suspicious elements of God and the gospel (raised by Josh) as well as responses that offer meaningful insight into these questions (answered by Aron). Ideas such as prayer, judgment, and the concealed nature of God are among the many points in this truth-seeking exchange.
Dead Bones with a Living Message
In this video, Pääbo covers a lot of ground, noting several lines of genetic evidence for the evolution of modern humans from earlier hominids in Africa, as well as for the interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals.
Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church
A five-year project headed by the Barna Group explores the opportunities and challenges of faith development among teens and young adults within a rapidly shifting culture.
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
The Weapon of Science, the Sword of the Spirit, and a Call to Prayer, Part 2
As a pastor, I find it particularly troubling when Christians use science as a weapon against other brothers and sisters in Faith that believe differently than they do.
Series: Miracles and Science
In this five section series, Ard Louis explores the relationship between science and miracles. He indicates the self-imposed limitations of science to discover knowledge while warning against the God-of-the-Gaps explanations. Then, he explains the two types of miracles seen in Scripture: those that are divine timing and those that are violations of the natural. Overall, God sustains natural processes, but, as the master composer, he has the ability to perform miracles as well.

Author Christopher Matthews and former staffers provide a compelling and often surprising look at the relationship between Nixon and Kennedy.
They arrived in Congress in the same year, 1947. Kennedy flew in on a private plane; Nixon drove across the country with all his belongings on the roof of his car. The differences between them drove one of the most intense political rivalries of the century. But the two men shared more than the public ever knew and were, in fact, friends.
Hosted by Christopher Matthews, whose groundbreaking book of the same name is the basis for KENNEDY AND NIXON, this program interviews aides, colleagues and confidantes to present the complete story of the relationship that Matthews claims shaped the second half of the twentieth century. Follow the two from their first days in congress to the presidency and beyond, and probe their complicated and debated legacies. And see rare footage of Kennedy and Nixon together before their historic first debate, which propelled JFK to the White House and Nixon into one of his many comeback battles.
KENNEDY AND NIXON presents a tale of the two men that will prove surprising to even political junkies.

Whisenhunt: QB change to Lindley 'won't hurt'
Originally published: Nov 21, 2012 - 4:22 pm
Rookie Ryan Lindley, a sixth-round draft pick out of San Diego State, was named the team's starter for their game against the St. Louis Rams by head coach Ken Whisenhunt Wednesday.
Lindley becomes the fifth starting quarterback the Cardinals have used since Kurt Warner retired following the 2009 season. Whisenhunt inserted Lindley into last Sunday's 23-19 loss at Atlanta with the Cardinals leading 13-3, but struggling on offense.
"It won't hurt, that's for sure," Whisenhunt said of the change in the starting position. "He's done a good job in what we've asked him to do, even with limited reps. We'll get an opportunity to get him better prepared and see how it plays out in the game."
Lindley didn't exactly light the world on fire when he got his shot in Atlanta, completing 9-of-20 passes for 64 yards. He didn't throw any interceptions, but did commit a fumble (even though it was a questionable call) that led to a Falcons' touchdown. But Whisenhunt was still pleased with what the young signal caller did in his first pro action.
"He did a nice job of handling the offense, going in there in a hostile situation with the noise and being able to make the calls," he said. "There didn't seem to be any struggles on his part. I mean, the speed of the game, getting used to that, being able to be comfortable with the offense and make the reads and the throws, he's done a nice job with that."
Lindley will face a Rams defense that had its way with the Cardinals in the first meeting between the two teams. St. Louis sacked then-starter Kevin Kolb nine times and held the Cardinals out of the end zone in a 17-3 win last month.
"I'm just thankful for the opportunity, it's a blessing," Lindley said. "I'm going to put 110% into it and make sure I'm ready to go on Sunday."
Meanwhile, John Skelton has now lost the starting job twice this season -- once to injury and once to ineffectiveness. Whisenhunt said the third-year pro's attitude has been positive despite the demotion.
"He's disappointed because he wants to play," Whisenhunt said. "He's been good. He was good during the game and he was good out here (Wednesday)."

SOURCE Conference Board of Canada
OTTAWA, Feb. 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Tens of thousands of truck drivers are approaching retirement age, but very few young people and immigrants are entering the industry. A new Conference Board of Canada report concludes that the gap between the supply of drivers and the demand for them - estimated at 25,000 by 2020 - could be costly to the Canadian economy.
"The food we eat, the goods that we enjoy and even the homes we live in are in large part delivered by trucks. The inability to meet a huge demand for drivers could be costly for the trucking industry, consumer goods and the Canadian economy," said Vijay Gill, Principal Research Associate.
The trucking industry moves 90 per cent of all consumer products and food within Canada and 60 per cent of trade with the United States, Canada's largest trading partner. It alone accounts for 33 per cent of real gross domestic product (GDP) in the transportation sector. Most of the demand for truck transport services is tied to the manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade industries. Demand for goods and services from retail industries is expected to grow significantly by 2020. The trucking industry's real GDP is expected to increase from $17 billion to $21.4 billion from 2011.
While truck drivers make up nearly 1.5 per cent of the Canadian labour force-approximately 300,000 truck drivers overall-it struggles to attract drivers to the for-hire industry. The for-hire industry is comprised of companies that provide truck transportation services to other companies. Drivers in the for-hire industry are often required to work long hours, over long distances, and with unpredictable schedules.
Participation of young people, ages 15 to 24, has dropped off significantly in the past decade. As a result, the average truck driver's average age has increased from 40 years in 1996 to 44 years in 2006, an average that surpasses that of many comparable occupations.
This report, Understanding the Truck Driver Supply and Demand Gap and Implications for the Canadian Economy, was funded by the Canadian Trucking Alliance, a federation of provincial trucking associations.

"Because of these prayers, God has given me this new life and I want to serve and I want every girl, every child to be educated," she said.
Malala has already started talking about furthering the cause that enraged the Taliban. In 2009, she wrote an extraordinary blog published by the BBC about how she wanted to go to school but was afraid.
"The Taliban have repeatedly targeted schools in Swat," she wrote.
About that time, the Taliban issued a formal edict, which covered her home in Pakistan's Swat Valley, banning all girls from schools. On the blog, Malala praised her father, who was operating one of the few schools that would go on to defy that order.
"My father said that some days ago someone brought the printout of this diary saying how wonderful it was," she wrote. "My father said that he smiled, but could not even say that it was written by his daughter."
Malala soon garnered international attention. She started giving interviews with news outlets, including CNN.
"I have the right of education," she said in a 2011 interview with CNN. "I have the right to play. I have the right to sing. I have the right to talk. I have the right to go to market. I have the right to speak up."
Why do you risk your life to raise your voice? a reporter asked her.
In perfect English, she answered that her people need her.
"I shall raise my voice," she insisted.

About Me Conservative
Comments about Cassidy Brothers Kids Toy Kenwood Mixer:
My daughters use this to pretend to make things all the time. We haven't gotten to use it for it's full potential yet because it requires batteries. However, it does have a hand turner to manually turn the mixer. My girls love it.

Cool Product
By Matthew's Mama
from Richmond Hill, GA
About Me Adventurous
This is a cool product. My son loves to bake and he uses this mixer to mix up some of the Easy Bake Oven batters. It works well, and "shuts down" whenever there is too much batter or the batter is too thick. The attachments could be a bit sturdier, although if they were they may catch little fingers. Overall this is a good buy. I gave it four stars because of the price.
By Jen
from MA
This mixer is cute, but I wish it were capable of plugging in, I fear that it will burn through batteries quickly. My daughter thought it was great though, and she loves baking with me.

My 3 yr old loves it!
By Dairy Farmer Mom
from PA
About Me Practical
3Yr old daughter loves it! She was so thrilled w/ the "cupcakes" she made! I was impressed that it really does mix. The plasic seems like it is kinda on the cheap side, but it does work. I actually took a recipe from another kids baking set and used it (forgot you should only be using simple recipes like the ones included) and by using the hand crank instead of the battery operated mode, we were able to make actual cupcakes (mini scale. It bogged down when we added the softened butter - that's when we realized we were using the wrong recipe! But it worked out just fine. It's a great size for her little hands, it's lightweight and easy to clean. My con would be that again the plastic is cheap. With care, I'm hoping it won't be a problem; don't know how it would handle being knocked off the counter. Overall, it's fantastic. She is so proud of her cupcakes!

Really Great - Really Works
By Lifergirl
from New Jersey
Purchased this last year for my then 4 y.o. grandson - his dad and mom are great cooks - and he likes to help. This was perfect for him as he could make little things in his own mixer - like small amounts of pancake batter and his cheese sauce for mac and cheese. He loved it. I bought a little test kit to be sure there was no lead in the bowl - before he used it for food and it had no lead in the bowl! It was a BIG hit - if you have a child who likes to help in the kitchen it is a great gift idea.

Optimize hardware costs for development that can be reasonably done on a laptop.
First priority is hardware that is easily supported with good drivers(particulary wifi, and graphics card drivers). How many hours have I lost to thumb driving packages to a laptop to try and get the wifi working.
6GB RAM to support some virtualization
Dual or Quad Core Cpu
SSD 64GB-128GB(If you're running large databases you should be on a desktop, dvd movies aren't necessary for development...)
Don't need a crazy graphics card, something that can support the laptop screen and another HD monitor is fine. This is not a gaming laptop.
A matte screen is a must
I agree with the other commenter(s) that said skip the speakers or keep them minimal.

Senior Spotlight: The Sunshine Girls Become Accidental Sensation
By: Brendaliss Gonzalez
Updated: July 24, 2012
"I feel like I'm the guilty one because as I went up to do this, I looked back to see if they were following me and they were," said Vernell Lester.
"We got up and the first song that we did was 'You are My Sunshine,'" said Margaret Murrow.
The Sunshine Girls haven't missed a beat since.
They may not be professional singers, but they sure do have fun.
"We're just out for a good time and just laughing and acting silly and you know, there's nothing else to do on Tuesday nights," said Laurie Eubanks.
None has any kind of musical background, but hey, you're never too old to learn.
"Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think id do anything like this," said Murrow.
You can expect to see them every week at the rose park senior centers karaoke night.
They even have groupies-
The Abilene seniors are already looking for more songs to sing.
"Our confidence grows every week and we are having a ball," said Murrow.
It just may be time to consider leaving retirement.
"You never know, you never know, if we get somebody to back us we might just go all the way," said Eubanks.
Senior Citizens can join in on the karaoke every Tues. night from 7-9 p.m. at the Rose Park Senior Center.

Vertical Files
Since the beginnings of the American Society for Microbiology's Archives program in the 1930s, the records of the Society, as well as non-Society materials on various topics related to microbiology, have been collected. These include clippings, brochures, manuscripts, reprints, government bulletins, etc. As these materials were being refoldered and inventoried, an attempt was made to move as many items as possible to the book collection: researchers are therefore advised to search the ASM Book Collection on the UMBC Online Catalog as well as the vertical files for items on a given topic.
The following is a list of topics covered in the vertical files. The quantity of material varies greatly; files marked with an asterisk are more substantial (at least 2" of material.) Cross-references to other parts of the ASM Archives Collections are included.
Researchers are encouraged to contact the Archivist, Jeff Karr, at email@example.com for further information.

What is Cefdinir?
Cefdinir is in a group of drugs called cephalosporin (SEF a low spor in) antibiotics. It works by fighting bacteria in your body.
Cefdinir is used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria.
Cefdinir may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
In This Section:
What is the most important information I should know about Cefdinir?
Do not take this medication if you are allergic to cefdinir, or to similar antibiotics, such as Ceftin, Cefzil, Keflex, and others.
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs (especially penicillin). Also tell your doctor if you have kidney disease or a history of intestinal problems.
Take this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Cefdinir will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you have diarrhea that is watery or bloody, stop taking cefdinir and call your doctor. Do not use anti-diarrhea medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Cefdinir?
Do not take this medication if you are allergic to cefdinir or to other cephalosporin antibiotics, such as:
- cefaclor (Raniclor)
- cefadroxil (Duricef)
- cefazolin (Ancef)
- cefditoren (Spectracef)
- cefpodoxime (Vantin)
- cefprozil (Cefzil)
- ceftibuten (Cedax)
- cefuroxime (Ceftin)
- cephalexin (Keflex); or
- cephradine (Velosef); and others
To make sure you can safely take cefdinir, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- kidney disease (or if you are on dialysis)
- a history of intestinal problems, such as colitis; or
- if you are allergic to any drugs (especially penicillins)
FDA pregnancy category B. This medication is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment.
It is not known whether cefdinir passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
The cefdinir suspension (liquid) contains sucrose. Talk to your doctor before using this form of cefdinir if you have diabetes.
What conditions might Cefdinir treat?

Scott Forstall, one of the most visible faces of Apple in the wake of Steve Jobs' death, is leaving the company in a surprise shakeup at the head of Apple' ranks.
Forstall, a senior vice president in charge of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS, will act as an adviser to CEO Tim Cook until departing some time next year, according to a news release from the company.
As the man behind the system that ran Apple's industry-changing iPhone and iPad, Forstall had been considered a favorite to replace Jobs as CEO after Jobs' death last October. More recently, Apple observers pegged Forstall, 43, as the next in line behind Cook.
Along with marketing chief Phil Schiller and design guru Jonathan Ive, Forstall anchored the company's top tier of executives, frequently speaking at Apple's heralded product unveilings to showcase the ins and outs of operating-system upgrades.
Many felt he was the most logical choice to continue Jobs' legacy of innovation at Apple, where 70% of revenue now comes from the mobile devices that iOS powers.
"He was as close to Steve as anybody at the company," Andy Miller, former head of Apple's iAd group, told Businessweek last year. "When he says stuff, people listen."
The Apple press release did not say what Forstall plans to do when he leaves the company. Apple did not immediately respond to a message seeking further details.
The release Monday came as Wall Street was virtually shut down in advance of Hurricane Sandy, and more than a million customers along the East Coast were already without power because of the storm's onslaught.
John Browett, Apple's head of retail, is also leaving, according to the release. The company is launching a search for his replacement, whereas it appears Forstall's duties will be divvied up for now among other Apple heavy hitters.
Ive, Bob Mansfield, Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi "will add more responsibilities to their roles," according to the announcement.

Not sure if this is your first kart or not, but a shifter may not be where you want to start if you've never driven a kart before. For a newbie, it's some serious speed and power. 4 sec 0-60, 2-3G cornering... can be a lot to handle. A TaG or lower horsepower Yamaha would still feel quick and would be cheaper as well in most cases.
But before we get into that, letting us know where you live as Jeff said will help a lot.

My boy is 9, so we are thinking about him racing in tag cadet, but the shifter would be mine.
I am currently stationed in Arizona and we live in Litchfield Park, AZ.
I used to race dirt bikes, but I'm not here to set the world on fire, I just want to spend some quality time with my boy.

Try to get one as complete as possible. Not too old, maybe 5 years old or less. Look at the bottom of the frame for excessive amounts of flatspotting. They are an indication of lots of use. Drive it if you can and at least start it up. Check the brakes. When you push the brake pedal, travel should be short, and the rear wheels should lock up so you cannot turn them by hand. Bodywork is expensive, so find something that doesn't need it. Look also for re-welds on the frame. Don't buy it if this has been done. Don't buy a kart just because it won lots of races. Another indication of wear. Get something that was used a couple of times then garaged. If it has been run a lot, plan to spend another grand on misc. stuff like top end rebuilds, seats, tires, fuel lines, etc.

Stanley, I too grew up racing motocross, supermoto and 80cc shifter karts as a kid. Prior to the military I was racing professional downhill mountainbikes, and supermoto in my time off. I recently got stationed here at Davis Monthan (Tucson) and decided to get back into karting (as the downhill mountain bike world is non existent).
I considered getting into shifters again, as thats where I left off (7 years ago). After adding it up, it was just too expensive for me.
I took up driving a rotax FR125. This isn't like the single speeds from back when I used to race 80cc shifter karts.... Definitely not an old KT100. These things have some serious "go" for a single speed (more than I was expecting.) I do however miss banging between gears, however a single speed kart can teach you to be smooth through turns. A TaG or Rotax is usually only 1-2 seconds slower than a shifter (MAYBE)... At my local track (musselman honda circuit) I am running on part with the shifter times...
Also you have a GREAT track up there. PKRA is a wonderful facility and their prices are spot on!
TaG is a great single speed class, however rebuilds can be costly on some of the higher end motors, like a leopard. Rotax run longer between rebuilds, but are more costly in parts. Running red tires are saving me a ton of money. I can often get 6-7 track days before they are "done." where as a shifter with whites or yellows would only last a couple weekends...
Either way I am looking forward to driving with you! Maybe Ill see you at PKRA someday soon, or even Musselman!
Make sure to check AZ Kart Werx, as well as Innovative. They are both awesome shops and VERY helpful. I personally have an Intrepid, and although I have only talked to Curtis of innovative a couple times, he is second to none. Both shops also have some karts on consignment. I would suggest just going in and talking to them. Curtis helped me with all sorts of helpful tips with buying a kart.
Goodluck looking!

Thank you all for the helpful information.
I think I now have a good idea what to look for; recent model, straight frame, no flat spots, good brakes, no welds, everything spins freely. Any tips on these stock honda engines? I understand they are sold in pieces and you put them together yourself? That sounds like a project we can sink our teeth into.

The norm for Stock Honda is a '99 motor with a '97 6-speed gearbox and '99 ignition. I would buy this configuration. Look for something with a pump around system for the fuel. Keihin 38mm carb is good. RLV R4 pipe is the standard these days. Ask if there are any problems. Ask about the history of the motor. Has it been raced a bunch? How many hours since the bottom end was rebuilt? Look for broken areas or holes in the cases, missing bolts, or worn through area in front of the front sprocket (happens when you run a large sprocket). Drive it if possible and check to see if it shifts properly and doesn't jump out of gear.

Don't get all wrapped up in finding the hot set up meaning the newest latest greatest chassis engine set up etc. You won't be able to utilize it untill you learn to drive it and that will take a while. That's not to say you won't have a blast learning and not to say you'll be crawling around the track but to get competitive will take time and by then you will have prefrences that aren't likely to match whatever intial choice you make. I would look for something complete that hasn't been raced. It will be cheaper and much less complex than trying to put something together yourself. You'll have plenty to do keeping it going.
If your area has it think about 4 cycle box stock for your son. It's cheap UN complicated and a great starting point for a 9 year old.
Temper my suggestions knowing my minimual experience. My sons and I are just getting going with it and the above is just my opinion a few months in.
Good luck Above all make sure both of you are having a blast!!!!

Some very good advice. I think I have an idea of what to look for now and I think it will come down to making a decision on each individual machine. I'm leaning towards buying a complete used machine for my boy and a used chassis and new motor kit for me. I've had a few honda dirt bikes and they seem to run forever with regular piston changes. Where is the best place to buy the motor from? I think I would like to make a project that me and my boy can do together. Also, how much are you guys spending on oil, tire and upkeep each month and who are you dealing with?
Thanks again.

Does anyone know how much depreciation do you lose when you buy a brand new machine?
Is it like a car or truck, where it worth 25% after you drive it off the lot?

PAT CAPUTO: Cabrera, Fielder, Verlander — Tigers' World Series troubles simple
What separates the Tigers from other teams is their stars.
They have three players, currently in their prime — Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder — who, barring unforeseen misfortune, are ticketed for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
If they are, indeed, inducted at Cooperstown, N.Y. some day, what they won't be showing at the ceremony are highlights of this World Series, at least so far.
The Tigers have fallen behind three games to none to the San Francisco Giants following a listless 2-0 loss Saturday night at Comerica Park.
The biggest reason: The failure of their three big stars.
Verlander was lit up like a Christmas Tree in Game 1. Cabrera and Fielder simply have not come through in key situations at the plate. As a result, the Tigers are on the brink of being swept in four games in only their sixth World Series appearance in 72 years.
"We had a couple big chances, but we just didn't cash in on them," Tigers manager Jim Leyland understated.
Every thing that can go wrong for the Tigers has in this series. They lived a charmed life while sweeping the Yankees in four games in the American League Championship Series. The Tigers, not a good fielding team, made all the defensive plays. They got hits when they needed them. They received superior pitching.
The Giants have turned the tables on the Tigers. A lineup short on big names, has clearly outclassed the Tigers trio of $20 million per season stars. Gregor Blanco, the Giants' left fielder, wasn't even in the major leagues last season. He has made three spectacular plays in this series. His RBI triple produced one of San Francisco's runs Saturday. Blanco hit .201 in Triple-A in 2011.
Conversely, the Tigers version of a journeyman player become a hero, Quintin Berry, had a poor game Saturday. He grounded into an inning-ending double play with runners on first base and second in the third inning, and struck out with the bases loaded, swinging at several bad pitches in the process, in the fifth. Continued...
The Tigers wasted another stellar starting pitching performance, this time from Anibal Sanchez.
"We got a tremendous pitching effort, but when you're shutout for 18 innings, it's pretty hard to win," Leyland said. "We've struggled to get the key hit.
"We're down 0-to-3, and it looks pretty bad. You can't argue that, but we've done a pretty good job pitching other than the first game. We just haven't been able to get on the board."
We're seeing why the Tigers, despite all the reputed punch in their lineup, won only 88 games - just seventh most in the American League - during the regular season.
The World Series has been a reminder of the many dry spells which plagued the Tigers' hitters during the regular season.
"We've been hot and cold pretty much all year. A little more cold than hot," Leyland said. "I don't think it's frustration. It is what it is."
While nobody other than the starting pitchers have stepped forward for the Tigers, several Giants have emerged as MVP candidates in this series.
Third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who hit three home runs in Game 1, had two more hits Saturday, and made a couple very good plays defensively.
A couple years ago, there wasn't a better starting pitcher in baseball than Tim Lincecum. He won two Cy Young Awards. His ERA was over 5.00 this season, but he's been turned loose in the bullpen during the postseason - and he's been lethal to the Tigers.
In his two appearances in the World Series, Lincecum has throttled the Tigers. Continued...
Blanco has been outstanding.
The Giants have earned their spot with solid play. So have the Tigers with their flat performance.
No team has ever won a World Series down three games to none. Nothing suggests, frankly, this will be a first.
It's been an opportunity lost, especially the Tigers' great players.
