Zen Touch (not playsforsure) working on Vista via Virtual Box
Hello Everyone,
First a bit of background. I have a original Zen Touch 40g and I never upgraded it to the Playsforsure firmware as I seem to recall a problem with it. Either lower quality or a issue with connecting (also that it wiped my player and was not a reverseable upgrade). I don't remember all the details (if someone could mention the differences and why someone should bother to update that would be great).
Anyway I have 20-25g of music on the player and I haven't added anything for some time. But recently decided I wanted to. The computer I use to connect it with isn't available now and the current system has Vista. As you know it the old drivers etc don't work on Vista. But did manage to get it working via this work-around:
Download and install Virtual Box https://www.virtualbox.org/ Also don't forget to install the extension pack too.
Install Windows XP with it as a virutal machine.
Set a folder in the Virtual Box settings for this virtual machine to a folder on your host (vista in this case) machine with your music you wish to transfer (or transfer from your player to it). You can do this later though.
Using the original CD in the PDE/setup folder run the SETUP file. This should install the driver AND Nomad Explorer. (if you don't have the CD you can get the latest driver here but I am not sure where to get the Nomad Explorer....perhaps someone else has a location for that).
Restart the XP virtual machine
Plug in your Zen Touch
At the "I can't find driver for this device" click "ask later" in the host OS (in this case Vista, but should be the same for windows 7)
In the XP virutal machine top of the window click USB devices find NOMAD in the list and click on it.
XP virutal machine should find it and say it is connected in a few seconds.
Now start up Nomad Explorer (under programs) and with another windows explorer window on the virutal folder (under network/virutal box/your folder nameyousetupearlier) drag your songs from one to the other. Simple, elegant and WORKS.
Another option is to use Nomad Sync a open source program if you like to sync everything rather than drag and drop. Works quite well. http://sourceforge.net/projects/nomadsync/ Warning though the latest version does not seem to work. Look for version 4.1 (at least for windows which is here ).
Hope this helps someone.

Committee Selection Belies "Intra-Party Democracy"
Delegates to the Communist Party's 18th Party Congress moved closer to formalizing their leadership transition on Tuesday, trimming the list of nominees for a new Central Committee which will appoint a Politburo and Politburo Standing Committee before the conclusion of the conclave on Thursday. Xinhua News broke down the process:
On Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, all delegations held meetings and carried out preliminary elections for candidates of members of the new Central Committee and of members of the new CCDI, as well as for candidates of alternate members of the CPC Central Committee.
The preliminary elections were competitive with elimination margins of more than eight percent.
The preliminary elections were conducted under the supervision of scrutineers in accordance with the election methods adopted at the congress. The results of the preliminary elections are valid, according to the presidium's third meeting.
On Tuesday afternoon, the delegations will hold meetings to mull over the draft name-lists of candidates for members and alternate members of the new CPC Central Committee and the new CCDI.
A formal election will be held on Wednesday morning.
The South China Morning Post called the vote "another embarrassing blow to the Communist Party's much touted internal democracy," and observers commented that the preliminary results do little to reinforce the belief that the Communist Party is moving toward a more democratic process for choosing its leadership:
Hong Kong-based analyst Johnny Lau Yui-siu said the results laid bare the leadership's reluctance to push for meaningful political reform.
"It basically disappoints everyone who still had hopes for the top-down approach to intra-party democracy," he said.
He said the fact that Xinhua's report yesterday did not mention the exact percentage of nominees eliminated showed the leadership did not have much to show off about.
"If we look at the 13th party congress 25 years ago, when the idea of electoral competition was first introduced with [5 per cent more candidates than seats on] the Central Committee, we'll see the talk of intra-party democracy is nothing but deception," Lau said.

These days, when he puts on his suit and tie, he goes to work before a deafening throng of more than 20,000 paying customers, not to mention hundreds of thousands more following on TV and radio. His performance and that of those under him invite enough scrutiny to melt ice.
But Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville has been where you are, behind a desk in an ordinary office where nothing was much louder than the chirp of an unanswered phone.
Coach Q was Mr. Quenneville then, or just Joel, a retail broker at Legg Mason in Connecticut. He served a modest client list during his off-season summers a couple decades back, when he was still wondering what he would do when his National Hockey League playing career ended. In some ways, it wasn't so different.
"Around the firm, you're supportive like a team," Quenneville recalled after a recent Blackhawks practice. "It's a competitive world. You make sure you're organized, prepared. Understanding what the other people are thinking helps as well."
Business and sports play out in different arenas. But anything that's competitive involves winners, losers and a game plan. So it's hardly coincidental business leaders often sound and act like coaches, and coaches sound like business leaders.
Sports is business simplified.
To watch is to see what it takes to win. It's all in front of you and on the scoreboard: which coaches have the best game plan and can adjust to conditions and opponents, and which players are fulfilling their promise, doing the jobs they've been assigned and working together.
In sports, we find inspiration and life lessons. And it's always easier to analyze someone else's situation. Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler may not spot the open receiver who's so obvious from the cheap seats.
"You have to be ready to change," Quenneville said, offering one piece of advice useful for both the ice and office. "We do change quickly and we do change when we don't like the way things are going," Quenneville said.
"A good leader is a good leader," Blackhawks President John McDonough said. "Joel possesses a number of skills that translate to the business side. He's incredibly well-prepared. He's very, very passionate. He handles crisis very well. He empowers people and relies heavily on his assistant coaches. There's a high level of intensity."
Look around your workplace from the sports fan's perspective and the similarities to business are easy to spot. There's your boss, the manager. Even without chewing tobacco, he or she is spitting out orders, directing the action, hoping for victory.
And in their cubicles, you'll see a familiar array of complementary players: the specialists and those whose value comes from their versatility, the promising up-and-comers and the seasoned veterans. Over there is the guy who's probably going to get waived.
The manager tries to get the most out of the group without burning out his bullpen of sales associates. Just be glad that at the end of every workday, none of you has to take questions from the media second-guessing your every move.
"Running a business and running a company are both about getting people to follow a vision in pursuit of a team goal," said Peter Marino, a president of Minneapolis-based Olson, which acquired Chicago's Dig Communications, a Chicago-based firm he founded. "Our uniforms may be different and it's a lot tougher to pull a muscle in business, but many things are very similar."
It's possible to overdo the metaphors, but watching a ball game, or playing in one, can provide genuine insight for the student of business.
Irene Rosenfeld, the chairwoman and chief executive of the Northfield-headquartered global conglomerate Kraft Foods, learned plenty as a youth basketball player.
"There's no question … one learns about leadership through watching great coaches," said Rosenfeld, named the most powerful woman in U.S. business this fall by Fortune magazine.
The greatest challenge in leading any team, according to Rosenfeld, is execution. Anyone can say Adam Dunn of the White Sox shouldn't strike out so much, but breaking free of a baseball slump can be as difficult as shoring up a flagging revenue trend or bucking up a division in decline.
"Figuring out strategy is part of it, but very often the strategy is obvious," she said. "The challenge is how one brings that strategy to life. It's a combination of understanding the capabilities of the team, how they interact with one another, what the barriers are and how you remove those barriers. For me, that's the art of leadership."
Part of the art also is in knowing when to be a hard-liner and when to let your people loose. Quenneville, for example, demands specific duties on defense but allows for improvisation on offense. It comes down to effectively conveying the what and why to his assistants and the players under him.
"There are situations where he does need to crack the whip, and he does that at the right time," Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said of his coach. "There's a good understanding of the psychology. … He always finds a way to bring the best out of his players."
Quenneville knows that as a coach he can't keep everyone happy. "Managing those (unhappy) guys can sometimes be as tough as managing your top players," he said. "Keeping everybody's focus on contributing to the team and the team's success is your greatest role as a coach. … I like players who say, 'I'm going to prove it to you.'"
In business and in sports, balance and cohesiveness are critical factors. Teamwork is crucial. Just having a bunch of stars is not enough, as the Miami Heat proved in falling short of the NBA title last season.
It's about working together, and sometimes just plain working. Dan Greenshields, president of ING Direct Investing/ ShareBuilder, cites Geoff Colvin's book, "Talent is Overrated," which suggests that exceptional performers in sports, music or business develop less because of innate abilities than continuous practice and a drive to constantly improve.
"You have to have somebody that pushes you and can look at mistakes that you're making and call them out, so you can improve," said Greenshields, who, during a break from college, helped coach future Olympic skiing gold medalist Tommy Moe. "There's a huge connection between really effective coaching and really effective businesses. … You have to have mentors or coaches who nudge you along the way because it's too hard to push yourself to get to the next level."
There's a reason a generation of business leaders and sales execs found inspiration in UCLA basketball coach John Wooden's Pyramid of Success and Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi's motivational film, "Second Effort." Each translated the keys to success in sports to career and personal advancement.
There's a reason sports films such as "Rudy" and "Hoosiers" hold timeless appeal. They offer playbooks to overcome the odds through discipline and perseverance.
Rosenfeld still cherishes the memory of coaches encouraging her and her basketball teammates to rally at halftime. And, having traded backboards for the boardroom, she sometimes draws upon it at Kraft.
"It's tougher to play from the lead," Rosenfeld said. "When you're behind, you're a little more inclined to take risks. I think you're willing to try new things. Often it is easier to motivate the organization when there's what we would call a burning platform.
"The way to address that is to never be complacent," she said. "We came from behind the last couple years. I'm really proud of what the organization has accomplished … and now we have to stay at the top of our game."
That's as true in the refrigerated aisle of your local supermarket as on the United Center ice, or wherever it is that you do business — win, lose or break even.

These moves come despite eligibility for two major government subsidies that are about to expire quite soon, something that in a normal market would create a boom.
Blame lies with the recession, uncertain government policy, a glut of natural gas, and an excess of wind farms that were planned or constructed when electricity prices were at their peak.
Wind project owner-developers of all sizes report that power purchase agreement (PPAs) to sell the power to utilities are still hard to come by, especially in areas with relatively high prices per MWh, such as California and New England. Often PPAs can only be agreed by accepting a reduced price.
Spot market prices given for imminent delivery of power from so-called "naked" wind farms — those with no PPAs — remain low too, as much as 20% to 60% below pre-recession prices.
Nor does it help that power demand has dropped because of the economic slump, a rare situation that could make utilities wary of signing up more electricity.
The future of national energy policy is as unsure as ever because of nervousness, bickering and entrenched interests among elected congressional lawmakers in Washington DC.
The wind industry is also steadily nearing yet another crisis, with eligibility for the government's cash grants through its economy-boosting Section 1603 set to close at the end of 2011, and then the end of the renewable energy production tax credit (PTC) in December 2012.
Investment crisis
"The US market right now is not good," says Don Furman, senior vice-president of external affairs at Iberdrola Renewables, the world's largest wind power developer and owner.
"Conditions do not justify the kind of capital investment we've had in the past."
Iberdrola invested almost $2 billion in wind in the US each year from 2008 to 2010, installing more than 3GW.
In 2010, it added more new capacity than any other owner-developer in the US.
Steve Trenholm, CEO of E.on Climate and Renewables North America, says the company's development programme, while it has not changed recently, is not nearly as aggressive as in the past.
"In my view, you should not force projects onto a market that is not ready," he said. E.on typically finances its own projects from its balance sheet. This year, depending on when a second project completes, it will add 150MW to 300MW capacity. At the end of 2010, E.on had 1.9GW in the US.
Jan Paulin, a wind industry doyen who is now CEO of developer Cielo Wind Power, agrees that the economics for project development — a high-risk venture at the best of times — are not favourable.
He denounces federal policy as a disaster. Yet, Gary Hardke, president of San Diego-based Cannon Power Group and a 30-year veteran of the industry, points to positive signals: "The market's a little healthier than it's been," he says.
"But it's a mixed bag; only the very best projects can get financed."
Japan factor
Glimmers of light at the end of the tunnel are indeed few but the industry is large enough nowadays to maintain a momentum that is helping it through the downturn. Indeed, there is a feeling, although not widespread, that the availability of financing is beginning to ease up a little.
The unfolding nuclear disaster in Japan, higher gasoline prices at the pump and turmoil in the Middle East have been prompting some public and legislative attention on clean, home-grown sources of energy, even though there is no direct connection between wind power and petrol prices.
In addition, some states continue to lead the country with innovative policies. For example, in early April California looked likely to enact a new aggressive requirement for investor-owned utilities to source 33% of power from renewables such as wind by 2020.
A stark example of the US industry's status comes from Spanish-owned Iberdrola. About two months into 2011, the company halved its plans for adding some 1GW per year to its US portfolio in 2011 and 2012.
It now expects to add 650MW in 2011 and just 350MW in 2012, says spokeswoman Jan Johnson.
That's quite a drop from its 1.37GW growth in 2010. Horizon Wind Energy, owned by Portugal's EDP Renováveis, and which added 499MW last year, is cutting its US plans by a similar margin this year, reports the Wall Street Journal.
In contrast, MidAmerican Energy, the number four developer/owner in the US, will be adding 597.4MW this year, up from less than 150MW in 2010.
And NextEra Energy Resources of Florida, the largest owner-developer of wind plants in the US, continues to report that it plans to have added another 3.5GW to 5GW capacity in the US and Canada by the end of 2014, including repowering of 300-400MW in California's Altamont Pass, plans that have not changed since May 2010.
It added 754MW of wind generation in 2010, totalling ownership of 8.29GW in North America.
Over-capacity has been an issue especially with the industry having installed a record 9.5GW in the US as recently as 2009, up 40% on 2008.
"We did not anticipate the recession," says Iberdrola's Furman.
"We had ordered turbines as if the growth would continue. So we were left with excess turbines."
There have also been too many renewable energy credits available on the market, he says, making it harder to sell them on to companies that have not distributed enough low-carbon energy.
Furman notes, however, that the industry is in far better shape to make it through the trough than ever before, adding: "We're in the wind business for the long-term.
We have some critical mass, we're not going anywhere. We have a lot of assets to maintain." Iberdrola, the second largest developer-owner in the US, owned 4.6GW at the end of 2010.
Prices of equipment, both major and sub-components, have probably bottomed out, Cielo's Paulin concurs: "It is unrealistic to think that there is more to give on that side."
He says there is also only one way for financing costs, or interest rates, to move — and that's up. Others say that project finance is already becoming easier, despite the pool of finance available to wind having shrunk by more than 60% a year, to $3 or $4 billion.
Buying power
A dearth of long-term contracts for purchasing power is another hindrance to the US, the world's largest wind market until it was surpassed by China in 2010.
"Prices are down, and fewer utilities are willing to execute PPAs," says Furman.
Power contracts are conventionally the cornerstone for a project, unless the electricity is placed on the spot market, often at a lower price and always with less price certainty.
The ability of a developer to sign a PPA and the availability of transmission are major factors in determining construction. Where will Iberdrola build in the US this year?
"We have a pipeline of many more megawatts than we expect to build — in all parts of North America," says Furman. "Which ones proceed will depend on where we can find a counterparty for a PPA."
While NextEra last year signed long-term PPAs for 1.23GW, officials have admitted that the company does not have any for about $1 billion worth of wind turbines with an installed capacity of 612MW.
"Adding more wind will largely depend on our ability to secure attractive, long-term PPAs," CEO Lewis Hay told news agency Bloomberg earlier this year.
"Contracting these megawatts continues to be a high priority for us." Of the 1.1GW of wind to be added this year, roughly 553MW had PPA contracts and so would be completed, said Hay.
Hardke says the success of the next 18 months in the US for developer Cannon, which has 3GW of wind projects in its pipeline globally, depends on PPA availability, and on stable federal government policy.
In fact, all the owner-developers interviewed cite strong and predictable government policy as essential to the health of the US market.
An especially popular option is a renewable or clean energy standard (RES or CES), although the latter would need to have a generous allocation for wind and other truly clean sources.
But the devil is in the detail on how good an RES or CES would be, warn the developers.
It is the predictability of federal policy that is most essential, but so lacking, say some.
"Beyond 2012, we just don't know what kind of support mechanism there will be," says E.on's Trenholm.
"We simply don't know if there will be a support mechanism."
Trenholm is alluding to the expiry of eligibility for the production tax credit after 2012, and the ending of the eligibility for Section 1603, which offers cash grants worth roughly 30% of a project's installed cost, in lieu of the PTC.
To be eligible for Section 1603, initiated following the global financial crisis of 2008, a project must be under construction within 2011. Developers say it is impossible to put together a five-year business plan without greater certainty.
"It will be 2013 or 2014 before we really see demand for wind return," says Furman.
"By December 2012, the opportunities via current legislation may have closed, and unless something is done, as Paulin predicted in April: "Twenty months from today, the industry will literally be swinging in the wind!"
Policy on hold
Trenholm and other senior wind officials have lobbied federal government with, he says, a little success. Soaring domestic gasoline prices have helped to force politicians and the public to think about energy use and security. Japan's nuclear problems are also significant, says Cielo's Paulin.
"There will be a re-assessment, but what form it takes remains to be seen."
Even so, action on renewables is unlikely to top the agenda in the government's gridlocked Washington DC, where budget woes are high and thoughts are turning to the 2012 elections.
Section 1603 is unlikely to be extended, ramping up competition for tax equity. The tax credit may expire — it has been extended in fits and starts since 1995, sometime after expiration, creating the US's infamous boom-and-bust wind development.
A PTC extension of five to 10 years would be ideal, says Trenholm, although Paulin would prefer another less complicated tool, such as a carbon tax.
But any new mechanism is unlikely before 2013 — when President Obama or his successor starts a new term.
An ailing economy and the consequent dip in US electricity demand has hammered the wind market. Electricity demand has fallen by 2% to 4% a year, although it has recovered by roughly 2% this year.
Don Furman (right), senior vice-president of external affairs at developer Iberdrola Renewables, has not seen anything like it in the electricity industry in 30 years.
"We have to wait for demand to come back," he says of possible industry recovery.
Tony Dorazio, senior vice-president for wind development at Duke Energy Generation Services, is also acutely aware of the dip.
Asked about the wind sector's health, he says: "It definitely has a cold, and that's driven mostly by power demand, which has not recovered." Duke Energy was in the top five wind owners in terms of added capacity in 2010.
What would Dorazio like to see from the US government to help trigger a market recovery?
"I'm looking for signals from the economy, as well as from the government, that it will support more transmission by making it easier and quicker to build," he says.
This year will be a slow one for Duke but its added capacity in 2012 and 2013 will return to pre-recession levels, he says.
Also affecting demand for wind is a drop in natural gas prices to less than $4 per million BTUs, in part because of plentiful domestic shale gas.
"Since gas is 'on the margin' in most places, power prices will remain depressed for the longer term," says Jan Paulin of developer Cielo Wind Power.
Opinion is divided on when gas prices might change, although there are some signs of a rise because of Japan's need for gas as it scrambles to restore generating capacity in the wake of March's earthquake and tsunami.

The National Corn Growers Association's 40th National Corn Yield Contest once again showcased corn growers' tremendous production capabilities, as all 27 of the national winners topped at least 232 bushels per acre.
"Our 40th National Corn Yield Contest was another success, just as it has been every year since 1965. NCGA growers continue to outdo themselves every year," said NCGA President Gerald Tumbleson. "This contest gives growers a chance to test some management practices they have learned over the years while maintaining costs and efficiency, and we encourage them to test techniques that could make a difference in yields for the future."
The 27 winners were among the 2,997 total entries from 47 states. Twelve states were represented among the 27 winners. Though the NCYC does not recognize an overall winner, the winning yields ranged from 351.6881 bushels per acre by Steve Albracht of Hart, Texas, to 232.4453 by Brenda Tanner of Union City, Tenn. This year, 11 contestants — including all three winners in the AA non-irrigated and irrigated classes — recorded yields of more than 300 bushels. The average bushels per acre among the 27 winners was 288.
"This year's contest had a precedent:
Kip Cullers of Purdy, Mo., became the first twin-row entrant to place in a category (17 growers entered twin-row fields this year). Tumbleson said the NCYC is also an opportunity for farmers to match up their production skills with farmers from their states and across the nation.
"We were excited to see growers try innovative methods," Tumbleson said. "Our growers are becoming increasingly efficient and adaptable."
All winners will be recognized at the 2006 Commodity Classic, the combined convention and trade show of NCGA and the American Soybean Association, March 2-4 in Anaheim, Calif.
The following lists are local national winners divided by respective classes:
Bobby Woodall, Decherd, Tenn.,280.1571 Yield Per Bushels
Don Carpenter, Dimmitt, Texas, 311.7813 Yield Per Acre; Donny Carpenter, Dimmitt, Texas, 296.2879 Yield Per Acre
Brenda Tanner, Union City, Tenn.,232.4453 Yield Per Acre
Gary Neal Porter, Mercer, Mo., 276.3603 Yield Per Acre; Cox Farms, Delta, Mo., 267.1678 Yield Per Acre; Lori Porter, Mercer, Mo., 259.7385 Yield Per Acre
Steve Albracht, Hart, Texas, 351.6881 Yield Per Acre; Kip Cullers, Purdy, Mo., 345.9452 Yield Per Acre

The Most Popular Baby Names of All Time
We reveal the top baby boy and girl names from the last 100 years for picks with timeless appeal
- prev
- Next
- 1 of 22
The Social Security Administration releases its list of the most popular baby names for boys and girls from the previous year annually. Last year, Jacob and Sophia topped the list. And, with only slight variability, the list has looked roughly the same in recent years (Ethan, Alexander, Emily and Ava continue to rank high as well.)
But if you look at the most popular baby names in America over time—over the last 100 years—the landscape looks entirely different. Only two names from that list—Michael and William—remain in the current top 10. Still, these top monikers from the last century are the ones that have endured; they are classic, solid choices that have resonated with more parents than any others.

Top 10 Girls' Names of All Time
In the first half of the century, Mary not only appeared in the top 10, it dominated the list. And by sheer numbers, it takes the cake, too; more than three million girls were named Mary in the last 100 years. In recent years, as a trip to the playground will tell you, its popularity has declined, but the name hasn't totally disappeared. Mary remains a simple and sweet pick—and, as the name of the most important female figure in the Christian world, it packs major cultural significance.
Pair it with another name to make it feel more modern (and a tad Southern, too)—Mary Frances, Mary Margaret or Mary Kate—or choose it as a way to honor a relative if you had an important Mary in your family.

Serious-sounding Patricia enjoyed its heyday in the '40s and '50s. Perhaps because of its heft and notable lack of sweetness, many parents bestowed it and then shortened it to nickname form: Pat, Patty, Tricia or Trish. Modern-day contemporaries might be Peyton, Piper or Paige—or try Patsy for a retro pick with a similar vintage feel, but a greater sense of fun and playfulness.

Although Elizabeth is a name for the ages, somehow it never feels old-fashioned. It's truly a timeless, classic choice, equally appealing in full or nickname form. While it has often appeared in or hovered around the top 10 or 20 names, it never cracked the top five once in the last century. Two famous associations—the Queen of Britain (times two) and legendary beauty Elizabeth Taylor—give this girls' name big-time regal clout.

Jennifer dominated the list of popular baby girls' names in the 1970s and into the '80s, coming in at number one from 1970—1984. Less popular now, it's still a sweet choice that's traditional but not dated. For a modern update, try an alt-spelling—think adorable actress Ginnifer Goodwin—and super-cute nickname Ginny.
- Carl Lender, Wikimeda Commons (CC Licensed)
Extremely popular in the '40s and '50s, and making its last appearance in the top 10 in the '60s, Linda holds very little modern-day appeal—although it could be seen as an early precursor to the "a"-endings seen on so many popular girls' names today (Sophia, Emma, Olivia.) While the name has seen a sharp decline in the last decade, try contemporary updates like Liza, Lindsay or Lila.

A quintessential American name—think The Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann" and iconic toy Barbie—Barbara saw the height of its popularity in the '30s, '40s and early '50s. By the time the 1960s rolled around, it had fallen to number 21. Famous Barbaras include former First Lady Barbara Bush and superstar Barbra Streisand. Names with a similar but more current feel might be Brooke, or the tomboy-cute nickname Bobbie.
- David Shankbone, Wikipedia (CC Licensed)
Susan peaked in the '50s and '60s, but by the '70s had fallen to number 27. But it's classic in a way that other names on this list aren't, and one of its modern-day sisters—Susannah—could gain in popularity just as Hannah and Savannah have. Other similar, traditional "s" names parents have continued to love over the years: Samantha and Sarah.

Like Elizabeth, Margaret is a classic name that continues to endure without sounding old-fashioned or dowdy. It's sweet and sophisticated and comes with nicknames—Maggie and Meg—that are cute and playful. It was most popular in the early 1900s, along with Mary, Helen and Ruth, but the name hasn't seen the sharp decline of Barbara, Linda or Susan in more recent decades. Modern parents drawn to uber-popular Madison or Mia could consider Margaret as a more traditional but not overused option; expectant moms and dads who like "M"-names with a vintage feel but less traditional flair might eye Mamie or Maisie.
- The Wizard of Oz
More than any other name on this list, Dorothy is stuck with the dowdy vibe (sorry!). Popular from the early 1900s through the '30s, the name—along with nickname Dottie—is full-on retro. The only cool Dorothy we know in pop culture was from the Wizard of Oz (at least she had some rockin' shoes!). Far more popular D-names with a contemporary feel include Destiny, Danielle and Diana.
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Jessica was the heir to Jennifer, first inching its way near the top 10 in the '70s and dominating the list for most of the '80s and into the '90s. Daintier than Jennifer, and with that soft "a" ending, the name was still in the top 10 by 2000, but it has dropped significantly in the last decade. Its nicknames—refined Jess and tomboyish Jessie—still hold appeal. Alyssa, currently in the top 20 for girls, might be the modern-day stand-in for Jessica.

Top 10 Boys' Names of All Time
Perennial fave James, much like the popular female name Elizabeth, is a solid choice that carries with it royal resonance. Popular in the early part of the century, often landing in one of the top three spots, it holds steady today and is consistently in the top 20 names for boys. In the last century, almost five million American boys were named James. Dignified but not dated, it's a less trendy option than Jayden or overused Joshua. Actor James Dean lends cool cache; if it's too traditional-sounding for you, try Jameson instead. Either way, who can resist a Sweet Baby James?
- Sex in the City
Popular Biblical name John is simple but solid, and hovered near the top of the list for boys for the better part of the 1900s. It has fallen in popularity over the last decade, but it's still very widely chosen. Traditional and not in the least bit trendy-sounding, it has an attractive namesake in popular culture: The mysterious first name of Carrie's smooth, swoon-worthy love in Sex and the City, Mr. Big, is John. For a hipper, updated option, try Jonah.

Like John, Robert was popular throughout most of the last century. Robert F. Kennedy leaves an enduring association with this name, though one that resonates less over time. Nicknames Robbie or Bobby, short and sporty, hold more appeal than the full form of this name does now. Ryan and Riley are two popular "r" names for boys that feel more current.
- Wikipedia Commons (CC Licensed)
More than some other names on this list, Michael has enjoyed a great deal of modern-day popularity—it has been the number one name for boys, or very close to it, throughout most of the 2000s. Nickname Mike errs on the mature side, but the full form feels timeless and will probably continue to be widely chosen by new parents long after Max, Milo and Mason have fallen out of fashion.
- Robert Payne, Wikipedia (CC Licensed)
Popular in the early 1900s, sweet, sophisticated William is a traditional boy name that not only has never gone out of style, but has actually been on the rise recently. Last year's royal wedding of Prince William to Catherine (Kate) Middleton will keep the momentum going. If you have a William in your family and want to honor him by picking the name, you can do it without your choice sounding the least bit unfashionable. Bonus: Nicknames Will and Liam sound just as good as the original.
- Joe Atomn, Wikimedia Commons (CC Licensed)
This Biblical name is undeniably one of the most popular boy names in this country; it held the top spot in the late 1960s and has consistently been in the top 20 in more recent years. Simple, sweet, and unpretentious, it's a classic, trend-averse choice. Famous associations run the gamut, from Michelangelo's masterpiece David to rocker David Bowie.
- Lost
Unlike William, Michael and John, Richard sounds a bit formal for today's tastes and its popularity is on the decline. Often chosen by parents in the '30s and '40s, its starchiness no longer resonates with modern parents. Nickname Dick is a rare choice these days, but Richie and Ricky add a little lightness to this otherwise heavy moniker. A similar, serious vibe that feels more fashionable can be found in names such as Alexander and Anthony.
- Baseball Digest, Wikimedia Commons (CC Licensed)
Joseph's a Biblical name of enduring appeal—extremely popular in the early 1900s and consistently in the top 20 in recent years, though now it has been overtaken by Jacob and Joshua. It is plain, sweet and solid, as are nicknames Joe and Joey. If the name's traditional aspect appeals to you, consider it over trendy Jayden; for something more unconventional, try Joss or José.
- Allan Warren, Wikimedia Commons (CC Licensed)
At its height in the 1920s, Charles is a sturdy name that has remained popular, but less so than other perennial faves like Michael, William or David. It's weighty and has a regal association with England's Prince Charles; nickname Charlie softens the feel and holds more appeal as an endearing name for a little boy.
- Wikipedia (CC Licensed)
Likable and enduring, Thomas is the one boy's name on this list that never made an appearance in the SSA's list of Top 5 Names in Each of the Last 100 Years. Still, parents admire it, and obviously have chosen it since it's on the list of top names of the last 100 years. It's an appealing choice with a bit of a British flair, and doesn't sound unfashionable. Bonus for train-obsessed boys: They would share a name with that beloved cheeky little blue engine from the Island of Sodor.

Google introduced multi-user support for tablets back in the Android 4.2 update, but we haven't seen it on any popular products so far. Samsung sells a lot of tablets, but none of them have had multi-user enabled, despite running Android 4.2. Adoption of this awesome feature has been strangely low, but that's about to change.
Looking at beta firmwares for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8 and Tab 3 10.1, multi-user is enabled. This means that Samsung will update the two tablets with the feature finally enabled, but we don't know when that will happen. This also means that other tablets will probably get the feature too, like the Galaxy Note 8.0 (which will hopefully get 4.2 soon).
While running beta firmware is often risky, you can find ROMs with multi-window on XDA for many Samsung tablets. However, an official update will provide you with the functionality, which is awesome. Many families will benefit greatly from this feature (I use it all the time). Hopefully it'll come soon!

Ashton Kutcher's Steve Jobs biopic, ingeniously titled jOBS, will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah next month.
The movie – not to be confused with another Jobs biopic penned by The Social Network writer Aaron Sorkin – will close the festival on January 27, fitting nicely with the late Apple co-founder's trademark "one more thing" routine employed at the end of many of the Cupertino company's product launch events.
Directed by Joshua Michael Stern and written by Matt Whitely, the movie has Ashton Kutcher in the lead role and will cover the period from 1971 – five years before the tech giant was founded – to 2000, taking in Apple's early years, Jobs' messy departure in the mid-80s from the company he helped to create, the formation of NeXT and Pixar, and his triumphant return to Apple in the mid-90s.
The movie, which also stars Josh Gad as co-founder Steve Wozniak, Matthew Modine as former CEO John Sculley, and Dermot Mulroney as early Apple investor and former CEO Mike Markkula.
Locations used in the shoot include the actual garage where Jobs, Wozniak and Ronald Wayne founded Apple, a move the filmmakers said was in keeping with their commitment to "accuracy and authenticity."
A few photos have leaked from the set since filming started back in the summer, including the one below of Kutcher as a bearded Jobs apparently running around a field, waving his arms around like a castaway trying to get the attention of a passing plane. It's not clear if this is Kutcher's usual pre-shoot warm-up routine or if it's in the script. All will be revealed next month.
The producers say the biopic will "shed new light on Steve Jobs' most defining and personal moments, motivations, and the people that drove him," describing it as "dark, honest and uncompromising."
jOBS is scheduled to hit movie theaters late fall.

NVIDIA GTX 580 Review
Fourteen months ago we got the first look at NVIDIA's latest architectural marvel codenamed "GF 100" at their GPU Technology Conference (GTC) held in sunny San Jose. What we obtained was a view of the next top-of-the-line graphics core from NVIDIA that offered up a promise of some serious firepower with its 512 CUDA cores, 16 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs) and 1.5GB of GDDR5 memory. As an enthusiast, I couldn't wait to see what this card would deliver in terms of FPS in games and was anxious to see how my folding farm would profit from that kind of computing power!
The problem was that we had to wait and watch while AMD filled up their product stack and stores (and ultimately consumer's rigs) with DirectX 11 hardware. At CES this year, we were invited to a 'Deep Dive' on the Fermi architecture and got a glimpse of what would be coming to consumers when it was released. What we saw was a version that ended up being called the GTX 480 that was delivered with 480 CUDA cores and 15 Streaming Multiprocessors packed into the four Graphics Processing Clusters. A cut-down version of what was presented to us at the GTC. Seven months ago, the GTX 480 was released to the world and in reality, the card kicked ass! The problems were that it was a power hog and ran hot. So hot that one website decided to try and fry an egg on the heat sink (unsuccessfully I might add).
Today, we fast forward to the here and now. I have the latest revision of NVIDIA's Fermi architecture code named GF 110. What we have here is a GPU that has been re-engineered down to the transistor level and comes fully equipped with the full 512 CUDA cores and 16 SMs. The re-engineering has (according to NVIDIA), taken care of the power and heat problems. So let's take a look and find out just how good of a job they have done!
Closer Look:
Since we don't have any packaging to go through, we can just get right to the GTX 580. Measuring 10.5 inches long, the GTX 580 mirrors the GTX 480 in size. The first thing you notice is that the heat sink is not visible from outside the shroud. Considering there are still three billion transistors that need cooling, the cooling solution must be something special! From the front, the only difference between this reference card and the initial offerings will be the manufacturer's sticker affixed to the shroud. The back side does not show anything out of the ordinary. Under the hood is where all the action takes place and NVIDIA has redesigned the core down to the transistors for a cooler running and more efficient product. With the GTX 580 we get the full 512 CUDA cores and increased clock speeds for an added performance boost. This card is meant to be used in motherboards with a 16x PCIe slot.
Connectivity comes in the form of two Dual link DVI ports and a Mini HDMI port. This port type has supported bit streaming for Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio over HDMI since the 260 driver release. Meaning that if you choose to use this card in a multipurpose rig, you can take advantage of this ability for HD sound for a full 3D Blu-ray movie experience. The back end of this card has a small vent and detent to pull fresh air into the fan assembly to keep the card cool when running with two or more cards in an SLI setup (such as when they are installed side by side).
The power connections needed for use with the GTX 580 are one eight pin and one six pin PCIe power connector. The recommended power supply for use with the GTX 580 is 600 watts. The GTX 580 has a TDP of 244 watts or 56 watts less than the GTX 480. Multi-GPU setups are a way to increase your gaming performance and the GTX 580 supports up to a three card Tri-SLI setup. The 580 has the same two bridge connections on the top spine as well as several ventilation slots for removing heat from the shroud. By using two of these cards in an SLI setup, you can take advantage of NVIDIA's Surround technology using three monitors at resolutions up to 7680 x 1600. If that's not enough, you can add one more element from the NVIDIA ecosystem and hook up a 3D Vision system to the surround setup as long as you have 120hz monitors for an out-of-screen experience.
One of the big complaints with the GTX 480 was that it was power hungry and therefore ran hot. You needed to dissipate that energy somewhere. That meant you needed very good airflow and an efficient heat sink design. With the heat pipe based solution on the GTX 480, you had to ramp up the fan speed to push more air. This resulted in more noise so we ended up with complaint number two. The cooling solution on the GTX 580 is quite a bit different from the heatpipe solution used on the GTX 480. NVIDIA fixed both problems on the GTX 580 with the use of a liquid-based "Vapor Chamber" cooling solution. This solution uses a large liquid-filled chamber that functions much like a heatpipe but is of a more efficient design. To cool the power regulation circuit there is a large aluminum plate that serves to both stiffen the card and draw heat from these components. Below is a picture that illustrates how the Vapor Chamber works to remove heat from the GTX 580's core.
Last but not least is a look at the GTX 580's GF 110 core. This core is the fully loaded version of Fermi we were expecting when this architecture was originally introduced. Inside is a complete redesign, engineered to reduce the power consumption and heat load all the way down to the transistors. The GF 110 core is equipped with four Graphics Processing Clusters, 16 Streaming multiprocessors, 512 CUDA cores, 16 Polymorph engines, 64 texture units, 48 ROP units with higher clock speeds of 772Mhz on the fixed function units and 1544Mhz on the CUDA cores. The GTX 580 uses the same 1536MB of GDDR5 memory running through a 384bit bus with 768k of shared L2 cache. The 12 memory ICs used by NVIDIA are manufactured by Samsung.
The GTX 580 looks to have the firepower to meet the needs of the enthusiast and hardcore gamer. Based on specifications alone, it's a beast and is what we have been waiting for from NVIDIA. Lets see how it performs.

The founding trustee and director of the Sustainable Seas Trust (SST), Dr Tony Ribbink, addressed the Kenton on Sea Rotary Club last Tuesday (05/11/2013). At the start of his speech Dr Ribbink said that he was pleased to announce the relocation of the organisation's office to The Threeways Centre in Kenton on Sea.
Dr Ribbink provided a brief overview of the origins of SST. The organisation arose from the African Coelacanth Ecosystem Programme at a time when countries from the Western Indian Ocean noted their interest in the technology and coelacanths research project but called for sustainable and worthwhile projects where the main interest was on the wellbeing of the coastal communities.
To encapsulate the inspiration that led to SST, Dr Ribbink cited Nelson Mandela's words when he was President which emphasized that: Conservation, sustainability and rehabilitation of the environment cannot succeed until we have addressed issues of: Poverty; Food security; Education and skills development; Human dignity and social justice; Human health; Providing employment to marginalized people.
As such SST pursues sustainability through knowledge and action in their various activities:
SST helps rehabilitate marine life to feed people and sustain ecosystems; SST works on food security and sustainable lifestyles; SST provides education and skills training - in classrooms and outside too; SST films are used to promote an understanding and influence human behaviour and action by government, business and the public.
To highlight the value of knowledge and learning about our seas Dr Ribbink shared a delightful anecdote from a recent film shoot on the beach in Kenton on Sea, where the film crew and actors, two young children, were delighted to discover a young octopus 'walking' across the rocky shelves between the tidal pools busy relocating from a pool that had become too shallow to a more appealing one.
Before screening a short film produced by SST's Trust Sustainability Films (TSF) Dr Ribbink highlighted what is under the sea's surface saying that "people don't pay enough attention to what they don't see and as a result our marine life is being destroyed".
"Our current education films: take children to sea, harbours, estuaries, boats, ships; teach through the eyes of children: share excitement and experiences; in different languages; use animations; is in line with the school curriculum; is short, about 12 minutes, so suitable for classroom use so teachers can introduce, show and discuss; and show that Kenton is a great place to spend time with children," Dr Ribbink said.
In closing Dr Ribbink highlighted the organisation's current exciting photographic competition which not only offers wonderful prizes to the public but where all photographic entries stand the chance of being included in a coffee table book to be produced by Struik and launched during Marine Week 2014.

Disabled man, tiny dog pushed into traffic
A Florida man is in jail after deputies said he robbed a wheelchair bound man and then pushed him into traffic.
Sonny Leon Abreu, 24, is charged with attempted murder, robbery, abuse of a disabled adult, petty theft and animal cruelty.
Investigators said Jose Mojica told them he was at the Shell Gas Station on West Irlo Bronson Highway in Kissimmee when he saw a man, later identified as Abreu, watching him withdraw money from an ATM.
Mojica tried to leave the area, but Abreu caught up to him near the Budget Inn and pushed his wheelchair into oncoming traffic, a news release said.
"When the guy caught up to him, he pushed him out of his wheelchair," said an Osceola County detective translating for Mojica. "He fell out of his wheelchair and he was able to take his wallet."
Officials said Abreu then left the area with $240 of Mojica's money.
Mojica had a small dog in a carrier which had a broken leg when the wheelchair tipped over, authorities said.
"The dog tried to defend me and the bad guy went ahead and kicked my dog," said Mojica.

Town Hall Mtg in Lieu of Campus Budget
Dear Campus Budget Colleagues,
Rather than holding this week's campus budget meeting, Letha and I are instead encouraging attendance at the Town Hall, scheduled for 11:30 on Thursday in the Fireside room. Even though much of that information will be familiar to you all, attending would assure that each of us has the latest information, and the discussion that ensues would be informative.
So, no meeting tomorrow, but see you all, I hope, at 11:30 on Thursday the 10th of February in the Fireside Room at the Campus Center.
For more information on the Town Hall and to print a handout please go to:
Gregory Anderson
(academic senate president and co-chair, campus budget committee)

Wonderland Event is a Swedish event organizer. We are now opening a new branch called "Wonderland Student" who will organize special student graduation parties and student open top lorry parties. This is a Swedish high school graduation tradition and you can see what its all about in the pictures at the bottom.
Update: Menu items should be in the following order:
Om oss
Please use these for revised designs from now on.
18-19 year old students.
We want a web page designed. We have attached a suggested layout of the page, but it is only a 2min mock-up so there are no exact measurements or any specific rules for the design. Just see it as simple guidelines nothing more. The two images shown in the mock-up are example images but are provided to help you.
The page should contain the classic Swedish graduation colours which are blue and yellow (as the Swedish flag). Make it look fresh and party but not to dark because all Swedish students graduate in the summer.
We are providing our logo in a few colours but if you need to change to colour it is OK.
If you have any questions, please ask.
See requirements.
http://www.studentkompaniet.se/ - I like layout of the homepage but its too dark.
http://123student.se/ - Its light, but looks too childish.

hidden treasuresFriday, April 25, 2008
I would love to be showing you something I have finished knitting, but the truth is, I have nothing. I did take the sleeves of Ruby to Florida with me, and did finish one. The other sleeve will hopefully be finished this weekend. For some reason, I just haven't been knitting my usual 2-3 hours a day. Maybe this summertime weather has something to do with it. I found some newfound energy lurking within, motivating me to get some things accomplished around here. And our evenings have been long and slow enjoying a lot of time outside.
Yep, ever since I can remember, I have heard the clicking of my mothers knitting needles. She gave me this issue of fall/winter '67 Vogue Knitting a while ago.
It in itself is a treasure. I really love these sketches, showing you a few variations of how the dress on the cover could be made.
When my mother showed me this and asked me if I wanted it, you know my response! And can you imagine, 20oo beads and 2000 palliates.
I never saw her wear it. She said she wore it a few times to cocktail parties. Oh, how I would love to have a photo of her in the dress, at a party. I can only imagine how cute she must have looked. Too bad she said she didn't make those matching earrings!

That is absolutely amazing!! And you look great in it. I can't imagine how much work went into it.ReplyDelete
What a cool story. My mom used to sew and made alot of dresses and skirts in the 70s. I never picked up sewing because I dove straight into knitting and cannot imagine having another craft obsession. I would have loved to own all of my mom's handmade stuff but she was alot more petite than me in her younger days. Bummer.ReplyDelete
Wow, that is really neat! What a find!ReplyDelete
That is a fabulous dress! I can only imagine all the work that went into it.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful treasure to hand from mother to daughter! I bet your mom was so hip and hot at those parties. I'm with you on the lack of pictures.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your legacy of handmade elegance!
both the magazine and the dress are treasures. how lucky for you to have both of them. that dress looks great on you! such a cute pose that you struck, too. ;)ReplyDelete
The dress is divine! Your mother did a wonderful job with it, and what a clever woman to hold onto it. Lucky you!ReplyDelete
that dress is hot! look at you! please say you will wear it. please.ReplyDelete
Wow -- way cool dress! My mom crocheted a bag once...ReplyDelete
It's too gosh darn nice outside to be knitting! I am trying to but can't get any knitting done.ReplyDelete
That dress is amazing! How wonderful that your mother saved it and passed it on. What a treasure!
ooh, it's a treasure indeed. How cool that she kept it and you can fit into it :)ReplyDelete
Leslie I am BEGGING you to wear that dress to church, puh-leeze!!ReplyDelete
That is fantastic! I love that she saved the magazine too. Check out my blog as I scored a little time machine of old knitting magazines yesterday.ReplyDelete
On your previous post I was in awe of your ability to knit on the beach. I always worry about sunscreen ruining my project. What do you knit on the beach? I'd love to find the perfect projects for summer sun fun.
what a dress!
Pretty cool that your mom made that. All that beaded detail! She did an awesome job. I bet she was too cool in that dress!
Wow, that dress is fantastic! I can't believe she made that. I'm totally impressed. It's such a statement piece--worn at the right place and the right time, it will continue to be a hit.ReplyDelete
Oh my God! I love that dress -- I think it would be perfect for any office Christmas party -- it's gorgeous!! During the first year of her marriage, my mother knit her mother-in-law a three piece suit -- on 3 needles!! I would die to have it.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4/26/2008
Love the dress! Unfortunately, my Mom is not a crafty woman (can you believe-she rarely sews a button on!) I do, however, have several infant dresses my Great-grandmother hand made (including hand made lace) for my Grandfather. I wore the dresses-as did my girls. I have packed them away--along with the smocked dresses I made, for my grandchildren.ReplyDelete
BTW--I rather like the dress backwards!
What a fantastic dress. It's even more amazing that your mom made it and held on to it. Definitely a treasure.ReplyDelete
O.M.G. That is AMAZING, you had better wear it Leslie, it is so incredible! You are absolutely right, the Vogue in and of itself is a treasure, let alone the dress! Perhaps you should make the matching earings (?!)...ReplyDelete
WOW!! How fantastic. My mother was also a big knitter but nothing quite so glam. She did sew some gorgeous dresses throughout her life and I have occasionally worn them too. Isn't the magazine wonderful. The dress looks great on you. Maybe do another one without all the sparkly bits - would look great with pair of boots!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4/26/2008
The dress is beautiful! You must be so glad that your Mom kept it. Little did she know she was knitting it for her daughter as well as hersel because it fits you beautifully. Never, never, never get rid of it!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing. It reminds us not to be so quick to get rid of our homemade items!
- michele4/28/2008
i think most people slow down with their knitting at this time of year. i know i have. there's just too many other things to take care of like the yard. and for me getting ready for dyeing. your knitting will pick up again. in the meantime your mother and this dress are amazing!ReplyDelete
I love your new blog header. Great colors! As for the dress, wow. Just Wow! Can't wait to see some more of your FOs.ReplyDelete
Wow! That is definitely a knitterly showpiece!ReplyDelete
They just don't make them like they used to, do they?ReplyDelete

Looney Tunes DC Comics Summer Roundup
# 187's cover story is yet another "Duck Dodgers" adventure, written by Joey Cavalieri and drawn by Walter Carzon. It's interesting that while the Duck Dodgers TV series these comic stories are based on has long since vanished, the comics themselves keep getting published and given the cover-story treatment. I speculate that the comic stories, which started showing up in the books at the time of the show's run more than five years ago, were originally supposed to be given their own series of books. For some reason, that never came to pass, and the stories wound up being thrown into the main LT book because, well, they're THAT good. No offense to the writers and animators of the "Duck Dodgers" TV show, which wasn't bad at all, but the comic book stories are better. Perhaps someday these stories will wind up in a trade-paperback format compilation, because they really shine on their own.
The rest of the issue consists of two great reprints, both drawn by David Alvarez. Wile E. Coyote steals Marvin the Martian's gadgets in "Chariots of the Clods", and Henery Hawk goes after Sylvester and Tweety in "Brown Hawk Down".
# 188 features a cover story involving Sylvester and Son. Taz and Hippety Hopper escape from an Australian attraction at a circus, leading Sylvester to mistake Hippety for a giant mouse (of course) and Jr. to think Taz is Sylvester. Strange as it sounds, Bill Matheny's story and David Alvarez's art are fantastic.
Reprints include "Tazzy Doo", a "Scooby Doo" parody written by Jesse McCann and drawn by David Alvarez. Foghorn Leghorn plays Fred, Lola Bunny plays Daphne, Petunia Pig fills in for Velma, and Daffy Duck dons the guise of Shaggy, alongside "Tazzy" Doo. "Ragin' Cage" (Craig Boldman/David Alvarez) is a crazy Sylvester/Tweety chase.
# 189 is, in short, lame. Sylvester and Tweety duke it out as movie critics in the cover story by Arie Kaplan and Walter Carzon. Reprints include a Lola Bunny adventure (By Sean Carolan and Jen Moore with art by Leo Batic) in the land of sea monkeys (don't ask!) and a 1-page Roadrunner gag by Brett Koth and Mike Decarlo.
NOTE: Beginning with # 188, is seems DC has decided to print the LT books with glossy pages instead of newsprint pages.
3 comments:
Maybe some of the Duck Dodgers scripts were commissioned while the cartoon was still in production. When the back half of the comic became reprints, stories that were meant for a single issue (like an all Dodgers issue) could have ended up being published over several years. Or they just really like doing Duck Dodgers stories.
The entire Johnny DC line (i.e. all the comics advertised on Looney Tunes' last page) had its paper upgraded this summer. I suspect it was something of a consolation prize for their being bumped up in price. You might also have noticed that starting with I think #188 the price increased from $2.50 to $2.99.

Speaking of book collections I wonder why Warner Bros. hasn't done book collections of the Looney Tunes comics.

The Taz/Hippety teamup sounds like a natural ... why Bob McKimson never thought of it, I'll never know.
That's what I like about the DC Looney Tunes comics - they're done by people who grew up watching the classic cartoons, unlike much of the Dell/Gold Key comics (and the Bugs Bunny newspaper strip).

As 2013 comes to a close, Los Angeles based promotional giants Golden Boy will see fit that the year ends with anything but a whimper. Although their September card which featured Floyd Mayweather and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez broke numerous financial records and carried an almost fever pitch of anticipation, the bout itself was more bang snaps than fireworks. Nevertheless, in the weeks leading up to Christmas, the southern California company will showcase two back to back weekend fight cards which could easily rank among the year's best.
In particular, the evening which has been labeled "Danger Zone" is sure to please not only those in attendance at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, but also the viewers at home who will be able to enjoy the fights on a non pay per view Showtime telecast on December 14 (8PM ET / 5PM PT). The evening's main event will feature the brash, slick and undefeated Cincinnati fighter Adrien "The Problem" Broner (27-0, 22 KO's) versus the hard charging slugger from Argentina, Marcos "El Chino" Maidana (34-3, 31 KO's) in a scheduled twelve round bout for Broner's WBA welterweight title. Additionally, the night's undercard is heavily stacked and sure to please. In the co-main event, Keith "One Time" Thurman (21-0, 19 KO's, Clearwater, Florida) will place his interim WBA World welterweight title on the line in a twelve round contest with Jesus Soto Karass (28-8-3, 18 KO's, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, MX). This past July at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Thurman and Soto Karass fought in separate bouts and each scored knockout victories. Thurman knocked out Diego Chavez in ten rounds, while Soto Karass gained a shocking twelfth round knockout win over Andre Berto. Another match of note is the one scheduled between newly crowned WBC super bantamweight champion Leo Santa Cruz (25-0-1, 15 KO's, Rosemead, California) and Cesar Seda (25-1, 17 KO's, Puerto Rico). The aforementioned participants in the night's undercard took part in an international media conference call this afternoon alongside Richard Schaefer (CEO of Golden Boy Promotions). Selected highlights are listed below. Richard Schaefer: "This is the best card we've ever put together. It's not just about Broner and Maidana, which I believe is a pay per view event. The undercard we've put together is amazing. It will be live on Showtime and will be available for free. We've set the Alamodome up for 30,000 people and 10,000 tickets have already been sold. The least expensive ticket is only ten dollars. Even the non televised portion, which features Rau'Shee Warren, Jamel Herring, Ricardo Alvarez (Canelo's brother) and Jermain Taylor as well, is just fantastic." Opening Statements, Jesus Soto Karass: "We're ready for a war on December 14 and we've been preparing for one." Opening Statements, Keith "One Time" Thurman: "We're getting in shape and I'm looking forward to December 14." Thurman on Soto Karass's upset win over Andre Berto: "I watched the main event. I saw his fire and passion. He had a warrior mentality and he wouldn't back down. I'm expecting the same fighter when I face him. I didn't know which way his fight was going to go. As soon as he dropped Berto and the fight was over, then I knew a bout between us could be a possibility." On Getting a Big Time bout: "This fight right here will be the icing on the cake. After this bout, no one will be able to say that Keith "One Time" Thurman hasn't been tested. After this, hopefully the door will be open for a big world title fight." Soto Karass on Thurman's KO of Diego Chavez: "I didn't see that much and I don't like watching videos. He fought on the undercard of my fight with Andre Berto and it wasn't until it was all over that I was told about the chance to fight Thurman. I'm getting ready like never before, just as always. I know he's a young, strong fighter. I need to win this fight and take the title back to Los Mochis." Thurman on his 90% Knockout Ratio: "I can box and I can punch. Sometimes, I'll have a game plan on whether I'd like to fight on the inside or outside. My name is "One Time" and I'm always looking for that one shot early on. I like going home early. I'm prepared to give my best on the (December) 14th." Soto Karass on Fighting Toe to Toe: "I've been characterized as a fighter that likes to do that. Lately, I've been doing more boxing, but of course as always I can go toe to toe if I have to. There's always some skill and a game plan involved." Keith on his love for Boxing: "This job brings the best out of me and I'm my own boss. Each day in the gym I am developing as a fighter just as every day I'm developing as a man. It brings success inside and outside the ring." On the history of the Sport: "I actually was not much of a boxing fan as I grew up. It was not until I did my own research that I fell in love with so many of the old school fighters. All you had to do in those days was to walk up to a fighter and say, "Hey, I'm going to knock you out" and he would say, "Okay. Where do we sign?" Schaefer on Future Matchups: "Imagine the winner of this fight against the winner of Broner vs. Maidana? These are the types of fights that I as a fight fan just love to see." Opening Statements, Cesar Seda: "Good afternoon to everyone. Thank you to Oscar de la Hoya and Richard (Schaefer) for this opportunity. Thanks as well to Leo Santa Cruz. I'm ready to show that Puerto Rico is still full of boxing talent." Opening Statements, WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz: "Thanks to my manager Al Haymon, Richard (Schaefer) and Oscar (De La Hoya). I'm ready for December 14. I want it to come so I can so everyone how motivated I am." Richard Schaefer on staging fights around the USA: "We started in San Antonio with club shows. It's been a slow process with Leija-Battah promotions. The goal has been to bring world championship fights there. We've done the same thing as of late in Brooklyn, New York. The key is to capture those markets which share the same passion for the sport and those who are willing to invest in the sport as well. It's just a matter of finding the right promoters and fighters who'd like to work with us." Cesar Seda on moving up in weight (115 to 122): "I moved up just like Leo did. I've kept my eye on him and the truth is that I feel much stronger at 122 pounds. In terms for punches, I've never fought anyone who throws as many as Leo. I want to prove that I'm ready." On Displaying Talent for Puerto Rico: "It motivates me and gives me hunger. Right now in Puerto Rico, there aren't too many champions, but I will prove how good we are." Leo Santa Cruz on moving up in weight: "I feel much better at 122 (pounds). The weight is better for me. I feel great in sparring and in the gym." Cesar Seda on Pressure to fight for Puerto Rico: "No pressure at all. We've been working hard on my conditioning and strength in the gym to make sure there's no pressure." Santa Cruz on Expectations: "I try to improve everyday in the gym. I give one hundred percent. I dedicate myself every day. I like to give the fans a great show and I never want to disappoint them." On Facing a Southpaw: "They're more difficult. The last southpaw I fought was Vusi Malinga (June 2012). I can get used to their style. I'll be ready and prepared for it." Richard Schaefer on future dates in San Antonio: "It's always been a great market for boxing. With Mike (Battah) and James (Leija), we've taken this to another level. I'm not listing in order, but there's the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Staples Center in Los Angeles and then there's the market in San Antonio. We're holding a number of dates for next year there. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez felt very welcome there and wants to fight there again. You don't hear much about Dallas any more since they hosted a Manny Pacquiao fight there a few years ago. You cannot build a market with just a "one off" event. You need to bring a mix of smaller and bigger fights." On The Hispanic Market: "It's extremely important to the overall health of boxing. We've used a research company to ask about the demographics of boxing fans. The Hispanic as well as African American markets are so important. We are seeing more and more that the market in general is getting behind boxing. The ratings we've received so far for our Fox Sports 1 telecasts have been unbelievable. If you can bring events to the stadiums as well as arenas in a particular city, then you can only elevate the sport." On Local talent: "There is great talent there. These young kids see that boxing is coming on a regular basis to their town and it encourages them to train even harder. It's encouraging and it helps the sport grow from the roots up. I think it's a dream for many fighters to become professional and one day fight in their hometown. Mike Battah is just an amazing guy who has a true passion for the sport." On Lowering Ticket prices: "You always should want to create an environment where a family can go and enjoy the event. I think that pricing is important and we want to make a point here. The larger venues give us more options on ticket prices and inventory." Seda on winning a decision in San Antonio: "Yes and we've prepared for that. I understand that the place will be pro-Santa Cruz, but we can find ways around that." Leo on Seda's fighting style: "I know that he's a very good fighter. He has the quality to be a champion. He can punch and he can box. He can do a lot." Cesar on Santa Cruz's style: "I have the tools and the ability to beat a fighter like him."
