Samsung is known for loading its phones up with custom apps like S Health, S Note, S Voice, ChatON and more. But do Galaxy owners actually use these apps? That's what research firm Strategy Analytics set out to determine.
Based on data from more than 250 Galaxy S III and Galaxy S 4 owners that was gathered in March 2014, Strategy Analytics reports that users don't spend much time with Samsung's custom apps. Galaxy S III owners spent around 6.2 minutes in ChatON, Group Play, S Memo, S Voice, Samsung Apps, Samsung Hub and Samsung Link during the month of March, while Galaxy S 4 owners used the same apps for approximately 9.3 minutes.
The report also measured how much time Galaxy S III and S 4 users spent in accessing Google Play, Google Search and YouTube. The Galaxy S III owners spent approximately 217.6 minutes in those three apps, while Galaxy S 4 folk used them for around 228.9 minutes.
It's no surprise that many of Samsung's own apps don't get much use from consumers. Galaxy owners likely either have alternatives to apps like ChatON that they prefer or they just don't know about other preloaded apps. Meanwhile, Google apps like Search and YouTube get heavy usage because most everyone knows what they are and are accustomed to using them on their computer.
Did your smartphone or tablet come preloaded with any bloatware? If so, do you ever use any of those preloaded apps?

Radical Right Collection
The sharp revival of the U.S. political right in the late 1970s and early 1980s was accompanied by a proliferation of white supremacist and other extremist organizations. Drawing on an mix of Neo-Nazi, white supremacist, Christian supremacist, and Libertarian ideologies, long-established organizations such as the John Birch Society, newly formed coalitions, and a new generation of leaders such as David Duke sought to shift the American political spectrum rightward through both formal political means and underground agitation.
The Radical Right Collection consists of newspapers, newsletters, and other publications from far-right organizations during the late 1960s through 1980s, along with associated ephemera and lists of extremist literature. The collection includes a significant run of the white supremacist magazine Instauration, the Neo-Nazi newspapers Attack and National Vanguard, the National Alliance Bulletin, and Richard Berkeley Cotten's Conservative Viewpoint, along with publications from Christian rightists Gerald L. K. Smith (The Cross and the Flag), Billy James Hargis (Christian Crusade), and Chick Publications.

LONDON (AP/WCSC) - People in Britain, the United States, including Charleston, and elsewhere appear to be having difficulty accessing Twitter, a day before the 2012 Olympic Games are due to officially launch and spike activity on the site.
The social network's main website is unreachable from New York, London and Johannesburg.
Twitter spokeswoman Rachel Bremmer said Thursday that "we're aware of the issue and are looking into it." She didn't immediately elaborate on the nature of the problem.
The Olympics are expected to bring an unprecedented surge of activity by sports fans on social networking sites.
At the recent European Championship final, users fired off more than 15,000 tweets-per-second, setting a sports-related record for the site.

Meticulously crafted from the principles laid out in Matt Fitzgerald's best-selling book 80/20 Running, this 10K Level 1 training plan will provide the athlete with the same workout structure used by the most successful runners in the world. Each week, cycle, and the complete 12-week plan has been specifically formulated to match the research articulated in Fitzgerald's publications and ensures the runner adheres to the 80/20 principle.
This plan is appropriate for newer runners preparing for their first 10K event, or for more experienced runners who need or prefer a relatively low-volume training program.
Before you begin the plan, build your training to the point where you are running at least three times per week for up to 30 minutes or more.
This plan leverages the TrainingPeaks.com structured workout feature, and the workouts are structured as a % of your threshold heart rate. On supported devices, such as a Garmin, your workout can be exported to the device, and the activity duration, laps, and intensity will be automatically prompted to the athlete during the workout. Workouts do not have to be exported for the Heart Rate plans to be effective, as the workout's detailed description still provides the athlete with the structure of the workout.
Not sure which level is right for you? Each 80/20 plan comes with a Level Guarantee: if you discover that the level you have selected is too hard or too easy for you, simply contact email@example.com for a complimentary switch to a different level within the same triathlon distance.
Supporting resources and documentation for your plan, including Zone guidelines, can be found at http://www.8020endurance.com/resources
Please note that in this plan the run workouts are prescribed primarily by time, therefore the preview will not reflect the plan's complete time and distance.
Save up to 25% when you bundle an 80/20 and a TrainingPeaks.com Premium subscription. See http://www.8020endurance.com/plan-bundles/ for details.
Purchasers of this plan will be able to contact the co-author, David Warden, directly at firstname.lastname@example.com, in order to request clarification on any items that may be unclear in the plan.

Nancy Harvey, the 52-year-old woman who was found dead in her car dealership earlier this year, died of asphyxiation, according to the autopsy report released Thursday.
Nancy Harvey, the 52-year-old woman who was found dead in her car dealership earlier this year, died of asphyxiation, according to the autopsy report released Thursday by the N.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
The autopsy was performed on Harvey on Jan. 26, a day after she was found dead by employees of Atlanta Car Co. at 1834 Old U.S. Highway 52. Deputies were dispatched to the business about 9 a.m. Jan. 25.
Few details concerning the manner of how she died had been provided by authorities prior to Thursday's release of the autopsy report.
"Her legs and hands were tied by zip ties and there was a bag over her head with a zip tie around the neck," the autopsy report stated. "Apparently bleach had been poured over the body and around the office. … Her wrist and ankles were also zip tied. Multiple blunt trauma essentially running from the face to the upper thighs was also identified."
No ethanol was detected in the blood from the aorta, the report stated. Ethanol is another name for drinking alcohol.
"After review of the historic and autopsy findings contained here in, it is my opinion that Nancy Harvey died as the result of asphyxiation …," the report signed by Dr. Clay Nichols stated.
According to the autopsy report, the bag had the wording "WWW.NADA.COM" — a website that lists new and used car prices — on it. The report further indicated injuries to her right eye and left cheek. The medical examiner also noted an abrasion around the neck.
Davidson County Sheriff David Grice declined to comment on the autopsy report.
"We are still actively investigating it, pursuing leads and getting information often," Grice said of the case. "We have got some evidence submitted to the FBI and SBI labs. We are waiting on results from that."
Meanwhile, the search warrant conducted at the Atlanta Car Co. and the initial 911 recording remained sealed by a judge.
Lexington Area Crimestoppers is offering up to a $2,000 reward for a tip leading to the arrest and conviction of whomever is responsible for Harvey's death. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Crimestoppers at 243-2400.

Song by Zoya can be best described as a bold, vibrant medium primary blue with silver and blue glittery metallic sparkle. A very vibrant blue with a glittery finish that's smoother than traditional chunky glitter.
Finish - Metallic
Intensity - 5 (1 = Sheer - 5 = Opaque)
Tone - Cool
For Best Results
Step 1: Clean the nail plate with Remove Plus ( Remove ) nail polish remover and nail plate cleaner
Step 2: Choose and apply the right base coat: Zoya Anchor for regular healthy nails or Zoya GetEven for nails with ridges
Step 3: Apply 2 coats of your favorite Zoya Nail Polish Color
Step 4: Apply a coat of Zoya Armor Top Coat
Step 5: Drop one drop of Zoya Fast Drops to the base of your nail bed
Following these 5 steps guarantees up to 14 days of wear on natural nails.
Song is a bit darker than I was expecting (more dark navy that I expected, though at least a shade lighter than ibiza), but it is super easy to apply and pretty.
This polish is very true to the bottle and the photo online. Its a very deep blue with subtle blue shimmer that has a very very subtle purple undertone. At least, that`s what I see. Dries to a slightly glossy finish (a good top coat brings out the sparkle much more) and wears like iron! A truly beautiful polish if you love deep blues with some texture to them.
i saw swatches of this all over the internet when it first came out and it looked like a bright, vibrant royal blue (including on zoya`s blog). i`m not sure if its because of camera flash, natural light, or what, but when i wear this one it is a very dark navy. it is as dark as the swatches of ibeza i`ve seen. its a pretty dark blue, but not at all what i was hoping for. i`m going to try tart or tallulah and see if that`s closer to what i had in mind. oh, and this color stains skin and nails.
If you are a Doctor Who fan, THIS is TARDIS blue! (I can`t help but wonder if it is named Song for River Song.) I LOVE this color! It is so rich and bright and gorgeous! Buy this color!

U.S. stock index futures rose ahead of a shortened post-Thanksgiving trading session. The U.S. stock market closes at 1 p.m. ET and the CME will be closing at 1:15 p.m.
There are no major economic reports scheduled for release on Friday.
Retailers will likely be the focus on "Black Friday" — often the busiest shopping day of the year. Investors will be trying to gauge the health of the American consumer and how much they are spending as stores offer deals and discounts.
Discount retailers Wal-Mart and Target were among the stores that opened their doors on Thanksgiving evening. (Read More: 'Black Friday' Shopping Frenzy Gets Off to Early Start.)
In a press release, Wal-Mart U.S. said it had its "best ever" Black Friday events, selling 1.8 million towels, 1.3 million televisions, 1.3 million dolls and 250,000 bicycles.
Terry Lundgren, Macy's chairman & CEO, told CNBC that the flagship Macy's store in New York City had a record crowd for its midnight opening. "It was a record crowd last year but that crowd was exceeded at this (Herald Square) store certainly this morning," he said.
Europe shares traded mixed after European leaders failed to agree to a new seven-year European Union budget on Thursday evening.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said after the meeting that she is skeptical about the issue being resolved this week. Along with the U.K., Germany is calling for bigger cuts to the budget.
European stocks were getting some support from stronger German business confidence data.
Meanwhile, a senior Greek government official was quoted by Reuters saying that the country's international lenders had agreed on new measures to cut its debt pile. However, they still need to fill a 10 billion euro ($12.9 billion) gap to gain the IMF's approval. (Read More: Greece's Lenders Move Closer to Deal on Funding.)
Turning to stock news, Blackberry maker Research In Motion is surging after an analyst issued bullish comments about the soon-to-be-released BlackBerry 10.
After the close on Wednesday, General Motors announced that it's financing arm will pay about $4.2 billion for the European and Latin American auto lending operations of Ally Financial.

Biscuit Mini Muffins
Can just four ingredients produce a recipe that's delicious and extremely versatile? The answer is yes, if you have my recipe for Biscuit Mini Muffins. In fact, these delicious little one-bite biscuits can be made with just three ingredients: self-rising flour, sour cream and melted butter. My addition of a tablespoon of sugar is optional, adding just a hint of sweetness.
I recently served these mini muffins at a dinner party, and believe it was my most requested recipe of all time. The muffins are perfect as an accompaniment to a tossed salad, but also are a welcome addition to a breakfast buffet with sweet butter and strawberry jam.
Slice them in half and spread them with a bit of honey mustard and add a slice of deli ham for a quick hors d'oeuvre. Or, slice and top each half with a dollop of prepared lemon curd from your supermarket. Add a slice of fresh strawberry and pipe on a dab of whipped cream for a wonderful pick-up dessert.
Combine biscuit ingredients in a bowl, being careful not to overwork the dough. Spoon dough into prepared muffin tins and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Makes 36 mini muffins.

NEW YORK--Just before director Paul Greengrass and star Tom Hanks unveiled their new verite thriller "Captain Phillips" at the New York Film Festival on Friday night, they made an unusual introduction.
"Many of the crew of the Maersk Alabama,"--Greengrass said, referring to the real-life hijacked boat on which his movie is based--"if they'd like to stand up..."
Several men toward the front of Alice Tully Hall took to their feet as the black-tie crowd roared appreciatively, standing for a full minute as the applause continued. Greengrass then welcomed from backstage the real life Rich Phillips, the title character who suffered a harrowing hostage ordeal in waters off the Somali coast back in 2009. The captain walked briskly onstage in a dark suit, pausing in front of Hanks, who leaned down to kiss his hand.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
The moment underscored the power of contemporary fact-based stories--and the weapon that studios who release them have in their holsters.
Most people won't see the movie in the same theater as the crew from the ship, of course. But reading about that group or even knowing they're out there can increase an audience's appreciation in subtle ways. It's not just the characters who were brave but the real people, one thinks, people who very much continue to live and breathe, and if we support the movie we're in a sense supporting them.
OK, so maybe it's not that conscious. But it can play on our minds. Did it help, say, "Argo" that we knew a man named Tony Mendez wasn't simply a Hollywood creation but a real-life CIA hero who continued to travel the world and was even present at some of the film's award-season events? Without a doubt.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
We'll see what effect it has here. The movie centers on Phillips, a low-key Vermont man who after decades of service as a commercial ship captain found himself and his crew of about 20 the victim of a hijacking by young, violent Somali pirates. As portrayed by Hanks, the crisis brought out a sense of courage and heroism in the otherwise workmanlike sailor. And if you didn't already salute a man who put his life on the line to protect his crew, there's a moment of quiet self-sacrifice a little more than halfway through the film that will make sure you do.
(It's worth noting that Greengrass' "United 93" traded on similar themes, with the obvious difference that that film's tragic ending and association provided a hurdle that this movie won't face.)
Still, real-life stories come with their own issues. Since at least a portion of the audience knows how the story ends, the burden lies with the telling, and on this audiences were divided. The movie played reasonably well at its big-stage NYFF opening-night venue--far better than "Carnage" in 2011, whose muddled reception sunk its awards and box-office chances--if not as strong as "Life of Pi" last year, which received a rapturous reception. Around the premiere afterparty there were those who hailed Hanks' performance but others who said they thought it was Greengrass' craftsmanship more than his storytelling that stood out.
In his remarks before the screening, the director emphasized the film's origins. "It's a tense story of events that really happened," he said. The "really happened" part will help the film. But audiences may ultimately judge it on the tension.

Executive Summary:
|Virtual machine software lets you run Windows and Linux from the same machine.
|Learn how to download and install VM software to use a Linux distribution on a bootable CD-ROM.
|VMware Server is ideal for running the Linux distribution BackTrack, which offers over 300 security tools.
Virtual machines (VMs) have surged in popularity as computers are shipped with faster processors and cheaper memory. Earlier versions of VM software ran as executables, but newer, more sophisticated versions run as services and include rich features such as automatic VM startup and shutdown when the host starts or shuts down, Web-based VM guest management software, and a scriptable API. Using a single VM host server, you can deploy a Web server, mail relay with antispam, and even security programs such as an intrusion detection system (IDS) or a vulnerability scanner as separate guests on that single VM host server. This can lower your hardware costs and help you create lab environments that emulate physical production environments. And because guests run separately, you can reboot one guest without affecting the others.
VMs are useful for security administrators whose favorite security tools run only on a certain OS. For example, you might run Windows on your primary desktop to manage Windows servers and use Microsoft Office, but use a VM to run a Linux distribution for security tools such as Sourcefire's Snort, Nessus Vulnerability Scanner or a VM for UNIX and its powerfully flexible command shell. Figure 1 shows the Linux distribution BackTrack running in a VM on a Windows machine.
Even if you don't have a lot of experience configuring an OS such as Linux, it's easy using a distribution on a bootable CD-ROM (aka a Live CD), which contains a fully configured OS complete with applications. Live distributions make it easy to test, evaluate, or simply learn about different security programs because you don't have to download and install each program separately. Let's walk through how to download and install VM software and an entire suite of Linux security tools for free.
Installing a Linux Distribution in a VM
Begin by choosing your VM host software. VM veteran VMware has new competition from Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. On the Macintosh side, Parallels Desktop for Mac has taken the Intel-based Mac market by storm because it lets Mac OS X users run Windows, Linux, and other traditional x86 OSs on their Macs. For this example, you'll download and configure VMware Server to run the popular security Linux distribution BackTrack in a VMware guest.
First, download and install the latest version of the free virtualization product VMware Server (http://www.vmware.com/products/free_virtualization.html). The VM host emulates the hardware of an Intel x86 computer, but VM software often includes tweaks for specific OSs, so you'll need to know what type of OS you'll be running before creating your VM guest. For this example, you'll install BackTrack, which you can download from http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack_download.html. Download the image file (ISO) to a directory on your host computer. You don't need to burn it to a CD-ROM; instead, you'll configure the VM to boot directly from the ISO.
After you've installed VMware Server, launch the VMware Server Console and connect to the LocalHost server. Click New Virtual Machine and follow the wizard to create your guest. When prompted for the guest OS, choose Linux, then the specific distribution or kernel. BackTrack uses a version of the Slackware distribution with a 2.6.x kernel, but as Slackware isn't among the distributions listed, choose the next closest match: Other Linux 2.6.x kernel.
By default, VMware guests store their logical hard disks in a single file on the host computer; in other words, the VMware server creates a file that emulates virtual disks used by the guests. I like to name my locations after the VM guest, so in this case I would name the VM BackTrack and specify the location as: C:\Virtual Machines\BackTrack. VMware Server lets you adjust guest-specific configurations such as whether the guest should run under the local system or other account or whether you want the guest to power up or down when the host starts up or shuts down. Configure these options to suit your needs. Then, if you apply a security patch to your host computer that requires a reboot, you could simply instruct the host computer to reboot, and it will take care of properly shutting down and then restarting the VM guests running on it. This can be a time saver.
When prompted by the wizard to specify a guest's virtual hardware configuration, I usually choose 256MB of memory for a low-end Linux computer and 512MB of memory for a low-end Windows guest VM. Ultimately, these decisions depend entirely on your environment and what you'll be running on the guest, and you can easily add or remove memory later by adjusting a slider control in the VMware Server console.
VMware Server supports robust networking configurations. Using VMware Server, you can specify bridged networking to the host or virtual networks, Network Address Translation (NAT), or host-only networking. For this example, choose bridged networking, which closely emulates a physical machine connected to the same LAN as your host VM server. In this configuration, your VMware guest communicates directly with the same LAN that the VMware host is connected to. For example, it will get its own DHCP address if your network is configured that way, and other computers on the network will communicate with the VMware guest in the same way as they would communicate with any other computer on your network. In other words, the VMware host is transparent to communications with the guest.
Next, configure the hard disks. Using VMware Server, I've found that accepting the default configuration works for most installations, but if the guest OS fails to recognize a hard disk, try selecting a different adapter or changing the bus between ATAPI and SCSI. VMware lets you specify the size of the guest VM hard disk but doesn't require you to allocate the space all at once. For example, you can specify a virtual disk of 40GB, but if you install only a 1GB OS, only 1GB of disk space is actually used on the host drives. Allocating space in this manner might make performance a little slower, but I like the flexibility this option affords.
Now that you've created a guest VM, you can configure the virtual CD-ROM drive to attach to and boot from the BackTrack ISO when the guest powers up. In the VMware Server Console, select the newly created BackTrack VM guest and click Edit virtual machine settings. Click CD-ROM, change the connection to Use ISO image, and browse to the BackTrack ISO and select it.
Finally, click OK to save your changes, then click the power button icon in the console to power up the VM guest. If you properly configured the virtual CD-ROM drive, you'll see the VM guest boot into the security ISO and load the BackTrack security toolset. You should now have a fully functional version of all of the tools running "inside" your host computer but with full access to your LAN.
Now You're Virtualizing
Check out other security tool distributions listed at http://sectools.org/sec-distros.html. Also, remember that your VM is a complete OS and that VMware Server lets you create a switched virtual network within your host. So the next time you want to install Microsoft ISA Server or a UNIX firewall such as pfSense or SmoothWall, consider installing the firewall—and network—within a VM. Although for security reasons you wouldn't want to install your production firewall in a shared VM environment, it's a great environment to quickly test different firewall or security subnet configurations that normally would require many different pieces of equipment.

Main Content
Normally, a blood vessel needed only for fetal blood circulation (called the ductus arteriosus) closes off at birth. As the fetus develops, this blood vessel is kept open by a substance in the fetus's body called prostaglandin. At birth, prostaglandin decreases and the blood vessel closes.
In some premature infants, this blood vessel does not close. This is a condition called a patent (open) ductus arteriosus. These infants are given a prostaglandin inhibitor. It's a medicine to help the blood vessel close.
When an infant has certain other congenital heart defects, a medicine that is a form of prostaglandin is often given by vein to keep the ductus arteriosus open. Keeping this blood vessel open allows the blood to keep moving until the defect can be fixed to allow normal blood flow. This may require surgery or another procedure.

Pigs cause rasher hour havoc on the way to the slaughterhouse
A LORRY-LOAD of pigs caused chaos for motorists after they spilled out onto the motorway.
The resulting chaos meant motorists were stranded for hours while a clean-up operation took place.
The truck carrying them overturned when a tyre burst, according to driver Wan Lin.
Not all the pigs died, however, and the surviving pigs had to be rounded up before the motorway was allowed to be opened again.
ABOVE: Pigs dead and alive caused chaos for motorists
A police spokesman said: "Several of the pigs died in the crash but others were running all over the road.
"We had to halt all traffic for the safety of the drivers until we had rounded up all the stray animals."
Presumably the surviving pigs safely arrived at the slaughterhouse.
Out of the fire and into the frying pan!

Ernest Thompson Seton was born in England and moved with his family to Canada in 1866. As a young man, he became intrigued with the wild animals that lived in the woods outside his home. In 1882 he began systematic studies of animals while homesteading in Manitoba. An important part of his work was to draw and paint the animals he observed.
During his subsequent career as a naturalist, Seton wrote and illustrated hundreds of scholarly and popular articles, stories, and more than forty books about wild animals. The books include Wild Animals I Have Known (1898), Animal Heroes (1905), The Biography of a Silver Fox (1909), Life Histories of Northern Animals (1909), Wild Animals at Home (1913), and Lives of Game Animals (1925-1928).
Over the years, Americans have gained a greater understanding of wild animals through reading Seton's work.
Philmont Scout Ranch, the Boy Scouts of America's premier High Adventure™ base, challenges Scouts and Venturers with more than 214 square miles of rugged northern New Mexico wilderness. Backpacking treks, horseback cavalcades, and training and service programs offer young people many ways to experience this legendary country.

More Forbidden Minors for Wye-Delta-Wye Reducibility
A graph is $Y\Delta Y$ reducible if it can be reduced to isolated vertices by a sequence of series-parallel reductions and $Y\Delta Y$ transformations. It is still an open problem to characterize $Y\Delta Y$ reducible graphs in terms of a finite set of forbidden minors. We obtain a characterization of such forbidden minors that can be written as clique $k$-sums for $k=1, 2, 3$. As a result we show constructively that the total number of forbidden minors is more than 68 billion up to isomorphism.

New Car Review
2014 Nissan Juke: New Car Review
When categorizing the 2014 Nissan Juke, much second-guessing is going on. Part hatchback and part small SUV, this feisty little crossover has some seriously polarizing styling, making it a car in a league of its own.
On one hand, the Juke offers the functionality of a hatchback. On the other, it delivers a fun-to-drive experience thanks to a turbocharged engine, precise steering and a sport-tuned suspension. Add a nice dose of cutting-edge electronics features and you have a CUV intended for a more youthful set. But surprisingly, Juke sales have gone to people of all ages.
For those who appreciate the Juke's qualities, there's one more that may help seal the deal: affordability. The Juke has a base price that starts around $20,000, which is lower than most small crossovers. For everything it has to offer, that's a bargain.
What's New for 2014?
The Juke NISMO model tops the performance end of the Juke lineup, with a new Midnight Edition and Sport Package rounding out the changes for 2014.
What We Like
Quick-footed handling; responsive engine; available all-wheel drive; comfortable seats
What We Don't
Limited cargo space; some cheap interior materials; lack of rear-seat headroom; love-it-or-hate-it styling
How Much?
Fuel Economy
The 2014 Nissan Juke has a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine. Output is 188 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Energy is channeled to the front wheels by either a 6-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). The Juke also offers all-wheel drive, but it's available only on CVT-equipped models. On the high-performance NISMO model, horsepower bumps up to 197 with 184 lb-ft of torque.
The Environmental Protection Agency's fuel economy estimates for the front-wheel-drive Juke are 27 miles per gallon city/32 mpg hwy with the CVT and 25 mpg city/31 mpg hwy with manual transmission. The all-wheel-drive Juke's fuel economy ratings are 25 mpg city/30 mpg hwy. The NISMO earns 25 mpg city/31 mpg hwy with the manual and 25 mpg city/30 mpg hwy with the automatic.
Standard Features & Options
Nissan offers four trim levels for the 2014 Juke: S, SV, NISMO and SL. Front-wheel-drive SV and NISMO models offer a 6-speed manual, while all other trims come only with the CVT automatic. All-wheel drive is available on all trims.
The Juke S ($19,800) includes a CVT automatic transmission, power windows, locks and mirrors, a 6-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo with auxiliary input port, Bluetooth, cruise control, tilt steering wheel with audio controls, trip computer and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The Juke SV ($21,800) adds a 6-speed manual transmission, premium fabric, I-CON multifunction controller, automatic climate control, USB/iPod control, a power sunroof, rear privacy glass, SiriusXM satellite radio and Nissan Intelligent Key with push-button start.
The Juke NISMO ($23,800) brings a more powerful engine, sport tuning for the suspension and steering, lowered ride height, 18-in wheels and unique NISMO exterior and interior treatments.
The Juke SL ($25,100) is loaded with navigation radio, Rockford Fosgate ecoPUNCH audio with powered subwoofer, rear backup camera, leather upholstery, heated front seats, fog lights and auto on/off headlights.
All-wheel drive adds $2,000 to the bottom line, while the CVT costs an additional $1,050. The Navigation Package (navigation, Rockford Fosgate audio, backup camera and USB/iPod interface) can be added to the SV and NISMO trims, while the SV trim can add a Sport Package that includes stainless steel exhaust, roof spoiler and Gunmetal alloy wheels.
Standard safety features for the Juke include ABS, traction control, stability control, active front head restraints and six airbags -- front, side and head curtain.
In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crash tests, the government gives the 2014 Nissan Juke four out of five stars overall, with three stars in the front-end crash test, five stars in the side-impact test and four stars in the rollover test.
The Juke earned the highest crash-test ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, earning it a Top Safety Pick award.
Behind the Wheel
Foremost, the Juke's turbocharged engine delivers a healthy dose of exhilaration. Both off the line and in mid-sprint, this energetic little hatchback has plenty of get-up-and-go. Passing is especially fun, as those you overtake are sure to give it a look that says, "What in the world is that thing?"
To customize the driving experience, Nissan equips the Juke with its Integrated Control System (I-Con), which allows the driver to select among three operating modes: Normal, Sport and Eco. Each mode alters throttle response, steering speed and transmission settings based on your preferred driving style.
The Juke is an agile handler, benefiting from a precise steering system and a firm suspension. It's particularly nimble in corners, remaining stable and well planted even at higher speeds. And like most good sports cars, its performance seems to tighten up more as it's pushed harder.
The Juke is also maneuverable at low speeds. Its small footprint and tight turning radius make it easy to navigate through city streets and crowded parking lots.
Add all-wheel drive and the Juke becomes a capable 4-season vehicle. When there's no snow or mud to tread through, you can apply the all-wheel drive to a performance-oriented drive on a curvy country road.
Although the Juke is biased toward handling, its overall ride is, mostly, comfortable and compliant. It may not be as plush as some rivals, but it's certainly adequate for daily commuting and longer road trips.
Other Cars to Consider
Kia Soul -- The Kia Soul offers much more cargo-carrying capacity, but the Juke is lot more powerful and a lot more fun to drive. Both vehicles have a descending roofline that compromises rear-seat headroom.
Scion xB -- Like the Juke, the Scion xB is both stylish and tech savvy. The xB pulls ahead on cargo room, but the Juke wins on sportiness and performance.
MINI Cooper Countryman -- The Juke and the Countryman are comparable in performance, but the Countryman is a good deal more expensive.
AutoTrader's Advice
The mid-level 2014 Nissan Juke SV makes the most sense to us. You'll get a nice array of features without paying the premium that the up-level SL requires. The two main things you'll miss are leather upholstery and heated seats. We recommend you add the optional Navigation Package, which includes a navigation system with real-time traffic, an upgraded sound system with subwoofer and a USB interface, and a backup camera. For those living in colder climates, all-wheel drive is suggested. All others will be perfectly content driving the CVT-equipped front-wheel-drive Juke.

The Syllable project has published the second version of the Linux-based Syllable Server. A number of fixes were made, most notably to terminal initialisation and printing. GhostScript is included now. Some of the Syllable-specific initialisation scripts are executed now. Many packages were updated, including GLibC, CoreUtils, BASh, ORCA and the printing packages. Several new packages were added. IPTables is included, so Syllable Server can be used to build a firewall. The wireless tools are included for configuring wireless networks. The ALSA userspace library and tools were added to provide full access to the audio system, instead of relying on OSS emulation. All separate binary packages for Server 0.1 are still valid on Server 0.2. On Syllable, binary compatibility is maintained as much as possible. [Screenshot of Syllable Server running on Syllable Desktop, installation and usage instructions, change log, torrent (preferred), installation package (75 MB 7-Zip archive).]

Really good to see Syllable progressing nicely!
I was particularly interested to see them include Orca as the main scripting language. Good on them for daring to be a bit different!
Orca (for those who haven't heard of it) is an open-source "work-alike" of the Rebol programming language. Orca and Rebol look (to me) like an interesting blend of Forth and Python. Take the concise nature of Forth and add the user-friendliness of Python and you might end up with something like Orca / Rebol.
Orca is still in its early days, but shows good potential. Rebol itself packs a *massive* amount of power into a very small size, and hopefully Orca can do the same.

ACParadise Network: American Cosplay Paradise American Cosplay Experience American Cosplay Snapshots
I'm Autumn and I hail from New Jersey. I was late to the cosplay party, but I'm glad I came. Way back when I was in high school, I tried to make myself a Hogwarts uniform for the release of the 5th Harry Potter book. Over the years that costume has evolved and gotten better with new pieces and tweaks, and it sort of opened the cosplay door for me. That, and my favorite holiday is Halloween because I love dressing up. So really, it was bound to happen sometime.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Clams Female Employee Was Pressured to Enter Into Sham Marriage
DALLAS – Courtesy Building Services, a janitorial and maintenance service located in West Dallas with an office in Fort Worth, violated federal law by subjecting a female employee to sexual harassment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit announced today. The EEOC alleges that as part of the unlawful work environment, the employee was pressured to marry a stranger from Thailand to promote his efforts toward citizenship.
According to the lawsuit, Operations Manager Melissa Gaona was subjected to unlawful sexual harassment starting in 2005. In addition to lewd remarks said to her or in her presence by management personnel, she was asked by a manager to enter into marriage with a stranger, a non-citizen, to enhance his opportunity to achieve U.S. citizenship.
"Enduring supervisors' comments about women's bodies and accounts of visits to the local strip clubs shouldn't be a job requirement," said EEOC Supervisory Trial Attorney Toby Wosk Costas. "And pressuring a worker to enter into a marriage she doesn't want, for ulterior motives, is simply unconscionable. It adds up to a hostile work environment that certainly violates federal laws against discrimination."
Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (Civil Action No. 3:10-cv-1911 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement. The EEOC seeks relief for Gaona as well as injunctive relief, including a court order to prevent the company from engaging in similar discriminatory conduct in the future; compensatory damages for emotional harm; and punitive damages to deter future acts of employment discrimination.
Regional Attorney Robert Canino of the EEOC's Dallas District Office added, "This is definitely not the garden-variety sexual harassment case -- compelling employees to marry is a new twist. Asking women to marry as a part of their job duties or terms of employment is not only illegal under Title VII, but if the idea is to circumvent the immigration laws of the United States, the discriminatory treatment also puts the employees themselves in jeopardy of violating federal laws."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Gallery: Top 10 moments in Prince George's first year
Prince George Alexander Louis of Cambridge, son of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, will celebrate his first birthday on Tuesday. It has been an exciting year for the young royal family, and here's a look back at the top 10 moments in Prince George's first 12 months.
1. A royal baby is born
Speculation about a due date for the royal baby went on for weeks last summer as media camped outside St. Mary's hospital in London, where the Duchess had planned to give birth. As time stretched on, false rumours were rampant — but still no sign of the future heir. Finally, on July 22, word came that a healthy baby boy had been born, weighing in at eight pounds, six ounces.
2. Meeting the grandparents — and a very special great-grandmother
The day after he was born, Prince George met his grandparents on both sides for the first time. First to visit the tiny prince were his maternal grandparents, Michael and Carole Middleton (who arrived for the visit in a cab). They were followed a short time later by the baby's paternal grandparents, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. The following day, Queen Elizabeth travelled to the Cambridges' home, Kensington Palace, to meet the tiny heir. "It was the first time in almost 120 years that a reigning sovereign had cradled a direct heir three generations younger than her. The monarchy, literally and metaphorically, was in safe hands," wrote Gordon Rayner for the Daily Telegraph.
3. First family photo
After Prince George was born, royal fans had to wait almost a month before they saw another image of the baby on Aug. 19, 2013. But it was worth the wait. The casual family portrait was not at all like stuffy, staged royal photos of the past. Prince William was featured with his sleeves rolled up as Kate looked relaxed and happy, cradling tiny Prince George. And just to remind everyone that the young royals aren't afraid to do things differently, this portrait also included two other family members — Lupo, Prince George's spaniel, and Tilly, the Middleton's golden retriever. And the photo wasn't shot by Annie Leibovitz or Mario Testino, either. This intimate shot was taken by none other than grandpa Michael Middleton.
4. A christening fit for a king
Royal fans had yet another long wait before they saw Prince George in public again. This time, though, they got video as well as still images when the royal family gathered for the prince's christening on Oct. 23, 2013. The family met at the Chapel Royal of St. James's Palace as Prince George was baptized with water from the River Jordan by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. Seven godparents were chosen for the royal baby: Oliver Baker, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Hugh Grosvenor, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Julia Samuel, Zara Phillips and William van Cutsem. Guests later enjoyed a slice of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding cake, an English custom to celebrate a christening.
5. Four generations of monarchs
One image of the christening was of key significance — a portrait that showed the reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth, her son and first in line to the throne, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, his son, Prince William and the newest heir, Prince George of Cambridge. "The Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge all co-ordinated their outfits for the historic photoshoot wearing blue-hued outfits. The monarch wore a sky blue Stewart Parvin ensemble, while Charles and William stood either side of her sporting darker blue suits," reported Hello! magazine. "The last time four generations of royals gathered was in 1894 at the christening of the future king Edward VIII who was pictured with his father George V, grandfather Edward VII and great-grandmother Victoria."
6. Winter vacation
In February, Prince George went on his first vacation overseas with his mother and grandparents, Michael and Carole Middleton. The family travelled to the exclusive Caribbean island of Mustique, known for protecting the rich and famous from prying eyes and paparazzi. In a "world exclusive," Hello! published the first images of the prince since the christening in London.
7. First family trip abroad
In April, the Cambridges headed Down Under for an official tour of Australia and New Zealand. It was their first trip abroad as a family, since Prince William had not accompanied his wife and son on their Caribbean trip to Mustique. The tour was a massive PR coup for the palace, with thousands turning out to see the royal couple at each stop. And the star of the show was undoubtedly Prince George.
8. First royal duty
The prince's first royal duty took place in New Zealand, where he participated in a playgroup with several other babies. It was the first time the public had seen Prince George in the company of other children — and once again, the photos did not disappoint. Whether he was pulling his mother's hair or trying to toddle, the prince charmed his playmates and the press.
9. A trip to the zoo
One of the biggest photo opps on the trip to Australia was Prince George's Easter visit to the famous Taronga Zoo, which had named a bilby, and its bilby enclosure, after the young prince. The zoo reached capacity before the royal family even arrived and photos captured William, Kate and George having fun in the Sunday sunshine, enjoying a day as a family.
10. First steps
New photographs surfaced in late June of Prince George with his mother at a polo club, where Prince William was playing in a charity match. The real action, however, took place on the sidelines as Prince George, holding his mother's hand, was starting to walk.

Finished Relic #6. It's starting to feel like Groundhog's Day. Been enjoying crafting some of the 2 star stuff and finding that some of it is actually better than Allagan with the right melds. I'm considering starting an alt so I can help with an earlier EST Coil team. Yeah I probably need my head examined. 2.1 cannot come soon enough.
I'm not sure it's easy so much as him being dedicated. The relic quest is hard imo, but I've only done it once so I'm not sure if it actually gets easier with another job. If I do level WAR (which is likely, I started GLA last night ahaha oops), I'm not looking forward to that part.

Does your canine companion need massage, laser therapy, acupuncture, weight loss help, and reiki treatments? Well, then, you probably live in Los Angeles, and since you do, there's a place you can take that spoiled mutt! However, the dogs they're treating at the 15-year-old Two Hands Four Paws are not exclusively Kim Kardashian pets*, they're also pups with serious injuries and health issues. Awww.
According to the Huffington Post:
One-eighth of the business' clientele are wheelchair-bound at some point in their therapy, explained founder Leslie McMahon to KTLA in the video above. For those dogs, water treadmills, swim sessions and massage therapy can strengthen injured limbs and loosen tight muscles. Other clientele include aging pets suffering from arthritis, torn ligaments or sore joints.
There's nothing like the image of an old dog getting massage to fill our wombs with tears. I WANT A BABY. OK, moving on.
The cutest event sounds like the "Sunday Fun Swims" for owners who want to swim with their fatty fat pets. Double awww.
Everyone in favor of a road trip, raise your paw (er, hand)!
*like she'd ever treat her pets that well.

GotGame: If you think 2012 has been a good year for games, just wait till 2013 rolls around and I can already see a lot of wallets groaning from all the purchases.
While it's widely-speculated that 2013 will see the release or reveal of next-gen platforms from Sony and Microsoft, if true, we're going to be leaving the current-gen with a bang.
GAMES of 2013
im not looking forward in god of war,bioshock,call of duty,borderland,dead space,mass effect,uncharted,last of us assassin creed.
is gaming STUCK in 2006???? same rehash over and over???
from 2006 til now same game format "basicly" with slap-on title. im bored with first person shooter type games. Sony,Microsoft,Nintendo please!!!!! come out with something FRESH,NEW outside FPS- multi-player games.
those games bore the HELL!!! out of me to the point i dont play video games no more unless it is NES,SNES,PS1,PS2. video games we're meant for fun and entertainment not for virtual reality sci-fi,man hunting bin ladin killing games. Jesus - illuminati got you people brain washed.
I now own wii u as well,so you can add bayonetta 2,lego city undercover. New zelda and metroid prime to that list..
But it's all about gta 5
I swear this game seems to be flying under people's radars for 2013..

Belfast, United ...
3 piece suit for the office using Steffi, Jenny and Franzi patterns.
Steffi jacket – Since steffi isn't lined it's very quick to make, and i bound all the inner seams in grey bias binding so it keeps it nice and stiff.
Franzi waistcoat – I didn't use satin/silk to make the back piece as you usually would for waistcoats, i used the same main outer fabric so i could wear just the waistcoat and skirt on their own.
Jenny skirt – super easy and lined, which i love in work skirts!
I was so lucky as to get matching buttons in two sizes for the jacket and waistcoat – YAY!

Hmm…not sure, i suppose that's the length i wear all my sleeves, i'm actually quite definite about it. Any shorter and i'm always pulling them down and fixing myself – just personal preference i guess.

It's time to show off your garden filled with American Meadows products!

Why Gardeners love Dahlias: Dahlias are one of the most rewarding summer flowers of all. They're really easy to grow with spectacular results. If you know them, you know all about it. If you don't, here is the information you need. Prepare to become 'hooked.' First of all, Dahlias are great for cutting, as you can see in the large top photo of an arrangement showing a lavish deep red dahlia right next to a large, voluptuous rose. Dahlias are native to Mexico, but there's about as much resemblance between the original and the Dutch hybrids as there is between an old toy car and a brand new Mercedes. Dahlias for today's gardeners offer a really big gardening treat. The 'bulbs' are actually tubers, and look a lot like peony roots--sort of like a bunch of carrots. The plants grow quickly and some grow quite tall, always with lush deep green foliage.
Types of Dahlias: These plants have been hybridized into various heights from short bedding plants to tall bushy ones. But they are officially categorized by flower type or shape. The term, 'Dinnerplate Dahlia' is probably the most famous description, and though all gardeners use the term, it is not an official classification. 'Dinnerplates' are, simply put, the large plants with the huge flowers. The always-double flowers are up to 8', sometimes a whopping 10' across, so the name makes sense. Here are the official classifications:
'Decorative Dahlias' This group includes the Dinnerplates and also other taller (to 4 ft.) plants with double, chrysanthemum-like flowers. The famous 'Shogun Dahlias' are as tall as Decoratives, but have very heavy bloom of smaller bi-colored flowers for gardeners who want a large bushy plant covered with color.
Growing Dahlias: All the gardener needs to do is plant the tubers after spring frosts in good garden soil with full sun. It's best to position them against a wall or be ready to stake them, since they are brittle, and must be protected from high winds. (If you've grown perennial Delphiniums, the plant size and growth is similar, but success with Dahlias is much easier.) Keep them free of bugs, well-watered, and well-fertilized as they grow, and your dahlias will begin to set buds by midsummer and be in full bloom, usually during July or August. Then the huge flowers keep coming until frost. When frost threatens, just pull the roots up, cut off the stems, and store the tubers until the following spring. Each fall, you'll be amazed how the 'bulbs' have multiplied during the summer, giving you more and more to divide and enjoy the next year.
One expert has said, 'Never have so many gardeners received so much for so little work, as when they grow dahlias.''

text: Lotus has built an amazing motorbike Good news for the leather romper suit community\: Lotus has just released a fresh batch of images of the C-01, the company's first ever motorbike. And doesn't it look astonishing?And before you file this under 'Pipedream Render That'll Never Ever Happen', hold on. Because the C-01 is real. And will be built. Kodewa - the outfit that builds Lotus's Le Mans racer and is in charge of this two-wheeled project - has confirmed that a prototype is road registered and unleashing 200bhp on the streets as we speak.The C-01 is a design from the pen of VW Group designer Daniel Simon (the genius futurist behind a lot of the Bugatti Veyron and these amazing creations) and made with bits from the Holzer Group, which specialises in making things to go inter outer space.The C-01's raked-out front forks, long-wheel-base design and wider rubber at the back give it the look of a drag bike. It's also wrapped in a John Player Special carbon livery, which instantly makes anything cool. Not a fan? Don't worry, a range of other legendary liveries that pay homage to Lotus's heritage are also available.Hanging between the two wheels is a 4-stroke engine, 200bhp V-twin. That's as much power a Renaultsport Clio, in something that weighs only 181kg. No performance figures yet, but we're guessing that you'll have to hold on tight.This isn't the first time a manufacturer of lightweight cars has gone two-wheeled\: Caterham recently announced that it wanted to leather up and get its knee down. But Lotus's bike isn't actually built by the guys in Norfolk that'll knock you together an Exige S\: instead, like the Lotus F1 team, the C-01 is produced under licence. Does this put us off? Not at all. Just look at it\\!Unfortunately we don't know exactly how much this two-wheeler will cost. What we do know is that only 100 units will be made - so if you do want one, you'll have register your interest sharpish.But the C-01 raises an important question. What other car manufacturer would you like to see having a crack at the two-wheeled world? Let us know below. Rowan Horncastle 20 February 2014 Lotus has built an amazing motorbike
