Geno is right ... his team is fragile
A year ago this week, Baylor University defeated the UConn women, somewhat convincingly, at the XL Center. This was after the Bears had roughed up Notre Dame on the road, too, leaving little doubt the consensus to win the national championship.
But a funny thing happened to the limo on the way to the coronation. There was a flat at a Shoney's (or in this case Shoni's) flushing a season of expectation.
The point: Judgments in January and even February are often bigger on blather than accuracy.
Still, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis' bout with mononucleosis has imperiled her effectiveness for the rest of the season. Not one doctor you can name - Zhivago, Oz, Jekyll, Strangelove - can say for sure whether she'll approach full strength even into March and April. The rhythms of mononucleosis are quite subjective.
Add Morgan Tuck's injury to a roster whose talent dwarfs its depth and you arrive here:
Notre Dame has emerged as the favorite to win it all.
That's undefeated Notre Dame, which has cut a swath through the Atlantic Coast Conference this season.
Notez bien: Just because I wrote that sentence doesn't mean I wish it to happen. Au contraire. Among the things in life I'd root for before Notre Dame: telemarketers, the Internal Revenue Service, warts, Justin Bieber. But the vagaries of Mosqueda-Lewis' illness enable the Irish to match UConn's talent in tandem with better depth.
The top three scorers on each team may well cancel each other: Kayla McBride, Jewell Loyd and Natalie Achonwa vs. Stefanie Dolson, Breanna Stewart and Bria Hartley. What remains, however, tells a more complete story.
Notre Dame's next four - Michaela Mabrey, Lindsay Allen, Taya Reimer and Madison Cable are averaging a combined 7.7 points per game and have combined to make 83 3-pointers. UConn's next four - Mo Jefferson, Saniya Chong, Kiah Stokes and Brianna Banks average 6.4 points per game and have made 55 three-pointers.
Notre Dame's next player is Ariel Braker, who averages four points, five rebounds and 15 minutes per game. UConn's next player is a walk-on.
Hence, Notre Dame's bench isn't merely deeper, but better.
Those numbers, obviously, would bear less significance if mono makes a timely exit through Mosqueda-Lewis' system. But how can we be sure? Mosqueda-Lewis might be a game-time decision more times than we'd like for the foreseeable future.
UConn's upcoming schedule has some obstacles. A road game at Louisville to end the regular season. Three games in three days at the conference tournament without a deep team. And then the NCAA tournament draw: Would the committee really send UConn to the Louisville Region because of proximity, thereby making the Huskies beat the Cards at Louisville for a spot in the Final Four?
Notre Dame, meanwhile, will waltz to Nashville, playing the regionals at home.
Big games, especially on the road, will test UConn's ability to score. Again: Dolson, Stewart and Hartley are trustworthy. But they bear even more pressure now, given that Jefferson, Stokes, Banks and Chong have never been subject to high expectations and minutes in the NCAA tournament.
Could the Huskies survive a C-minus from Stewart in a regional semifinal or final?
Notre Dame, too, bears the most important component in defeating UConn: The Irish aren't scared. They may be even better this season, given that Skylar Diggins has graduated (draw your own conclusions on that one).
This is why UConn coach Geno Auriemma uses the word "fragile" so much. We may roll our eyes when he views every little ice cube as a potential sinker of Titanic. Some days, eyerolls are warranted. Others � well, now you see how injuries and illness can keep coaches neurotic.
Even the most ardent UConn fan should be left wondering whether this monolith of January will hold up through early April. We know the Huskies will be well prepared. But the margin for error against good teams is thin enough to be spread across a saltine now. Maybe the key to national title No. 9 is three little words: Get well Kaleena.
This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.

Innovation is what sets KEF apart from its competitors. For over 50 years KEF has been at the forefront of loudspeaker research and development, designing class-leading speakers that have dealt with the challenges of reproducing the latest musical formats, and reproducing them to the highest possible quality. The X300A continues this legacy today.
The X300A speaker is a premium active design conceived to offer the highest resolution music reproduction from a PC or Mac, desktop or laptop computer – all via a 'distortion free' USB digital input. There is even a backup analogue input with its own level control so you can easily connect any smartphone or MP3 player.
Unlike typical active computer speaker designs the X300A utilises twin class AB audiophile grade amplifiers featuring high performance toroidal transformers to minimise hum noise and electromagnetic interference, in keeping with the best pro audio monitors available today. This means that because each driver has an amplifier delivering its own power, the tweeters (vented designs to help lower distortion) are not affected when the woofer amps are driven close to the limit, resulting in a much cleaner sound and greater control at higher levels.

Demi Lovato mobbed onstage in Paraguay
DEMI LOVATO faced a security scare on Thursday (26Apr12) after a scrum of hysterical fans stormed the stage at her concert in Paraguay.
The pop star caused chaos at her sold-out gig in the capital city of Asuncion when she invited the front row into the empty pit in front of the stage.
She said, "I feel like I'm not doing you guys justice tonight because I have to admit I'm not feeling too good. I'm really sorry. I feel like I could be doing something more for you guys... so I wanna let all these kids (into the pen) down here. You guys gotta be safe though!"
Hordes of fans then leaped over a security barrier to get closer to the star, and several youngsters even climbed onstage to hug a startled Lovato, who was promptly whisked away by burly security guards.
The singer eventually emerged from backstage a minute later and told the crowd, "You gotta chill out."

Auto Shipping Quote Calculator to New York
Auto transport service to New York City is a mixed bag. Our innovative car shipping quotes calculator makes it easier to determine an auto transport rate from anywhere to the Big Apple, but it cannot tell the whole story. We would like our quotes to advise, "Please don't ship your car from Manhattan." Ever been to Manhattan? It sure is exciting as there is nothing quite like it. Now imagine an auto transport carrier crawling down Fifth Avenue or 42nd Street competing with taxis for the right lane. Yeah, you get the picture. It is no fun for anyone. So would it kill you to go across the Washington Bridge and meet an auto shipper in New Jersey? That is the smartest thing to do. We highly recommend doing that so that your vehicle shipment can happen much faster, and probably much cheaper if you look to see a car shipping quote online from or to New Jersey.
Shipping a car is also easier to Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Yonkers or the Bronx than it is from or to Manhattan. The tolls become a bit of an issue because it can drive up the cost of shipping a vehicle, and frankly are a pain in the butt getting through them, but with so many other cars being shipped there it certainly benefits from economy of scale. So it is better to ship a car in the other boroughs than Manhattan. Except if you are transporting a vehicle to the far end of Long Island, such as Sag Harbor. To an auto shipper it feels like driving to England. We know, you can't drive to England, but that doesn't mean it doesn't feel like it.
Normally we say you can easily go to our website and get an instant car shipping quote and be done with it. But it might be a good idea to pick up the phone and call Direct Express Auto Transport customer service at 800-600-3750 and speak about a good plan for shipping your car to the New York City boroughs.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The Birmingham-Southern volleyball team played its first home match of the season on Saturday and swept Sewanee, 3-0, to remain unbeaten in Southern Athletic Association action.
The Panthers are now 9-4 overall and 4-0 in the SAA with their fifth-straight victory; the Tigers fall to 4-6 overall and 1-4 in the league.
BSC started the match strong, using several long point runs to win the first set 25-12. The Panthers opened set two by going up 5-0, but the Tigers kept it a bit closer this time, although still eventually losing 25-19. The third set was even closer, with Sewanee winning the first point for the first time in the match and going up 8-4 early. The Tigers stayed ahead of BSC and led 15-12 before the Panthers pulled ahead on six straight points - including three straight service aces from freshman Emily Dang - to go up 18-15. BSC held onto the lead for the remainder of the set, although at match point, 24-21, Sewanee was able to score twice to cut it to 24-23 before a kill by senior Shelby Moore clinched the victory for the Panthers.
Sophomore Meredith Lee led BSC with 12 kills and hit .360 for the match, while Moore had 10 kills. Senior setter Lauren Reibe posted a double-double with 28 assists and 11 digs, and senior libero Presley Dickson also recorded a double-double with 11 digs and 10 assists.
"It was fun to finally play at home and I thought our crowd was fantastic today," Head Coach Judy Green said. "I think our team fed off of their energy, but I also feel that we started out the match playing probably the best defense I've seen us play this season, and that really set the tone for the majority of the match. We made Sewanee have to do things to manufacture kills; they couldn't play traditional volleyball. We also got a chance to play a lot of our bench today to let them gain experience. It was a good conference win today and we're looking forward to tomorrow."
The Panthers are at home again tomorrow, facing Centre College at 1:30 p.m. in Bill Battle Coliseum.

Ruthanne needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 5 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
I am throwing a baby shower for my sister. She is having a girl. She is not a traditional "pink" baby shower person, at all. She is a powerful lawyer, passionate about politics, a bit of a feminist (but not a hippie), very well educated, etc. She wants her shower to have a "generational" feel - our mom and her friends are coming, her friends, she is having a daughter. So, "generations" of women. I am thinking to call a tribute to female role models - not all serious, some fun Wonder woman, Hillary Clinton, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ramona the Great (from the book), I am thinking of not even really calling this a shower, rather a "tribute" to generations of great female role models,
My sister's friends (30's), my mother's friends - 60's. All women
Need an invite that can be printed, put in an envelope. Where we can list date, time, RSVP information, etc.
We'll also have a second insert that is going to ask people to bring a baby picture of themselves and some words of wisdom for the newborn
In terms of the SIZE - I just want to put it on card stock, NOT fold it, then put in an envelope. The invite and the insert can be different sizes as long as they both fit in an envelope.
I have these printed at Kinkos.

3 Principles of a Personal Medical File
Having accurate personal health information helps providers make lifesaving decisions. Here are some ideas to find it quickly in an emergency.
Follow these three steps to help you find your medical information faster:
- Gather.
- Organize.
- Update.
You'll be ready with critical medical and insurance information should you or family members need it in a hurry. Smead recommends using an Expanding File with Antimicrobial Product Protection to keep health records.
- Create a separate medical file for each family member. The file should include a medical history, current medications, health status, and any information that would be important for health care professionals to know.
- Use an Expanding File with Antimicrobial Product Protection as the medical file. The 12 pockets have plenty of room for existing and future records.
- Contact all doctors and health care providers at each facility where you or a family member has received treatment. Ask for current and past information. Complete any authorization forms needed to release the information.
- Collect health insurance information to include in the file. Make sure you have policy numbers, group plan numbers, coverage and copay information.
- Label each expanding file with the person's name on the outside protective flap.
- Sort the medical information into groups, such as Health History, Prescriptions, Insurance, etc. Use the individual pockets to keep the groups separated. Write the category headings on the tabs.
- Place the most current pages in front. Include a summary page as the first page of each section.
- Keep the most important information in the front pocket of the file; status of your current condition, provider contact information, medications and treatments, recent tests or procedures, insurance data. Label the tab "Emergency Information".
- When you visit a doctor, clinic or hospital, add any new information to the file. Update medications lists or health histories to keep all information current.
- Keep track of changes as they occur. Write down what your doctor tells you at each appointment and keep it in the file.
- Store the medical files in a safe but easily accessible place. Take the file with you in an emergency. Bring it with you when you travel and to your scheduled appointments.

Get Ready for RGIII Twice a Year
Is this something we should be worried about? It is hard to tell but the guy is certainly a phenomenal athlete. He is going to be a tough guy to defend since he is such a fast runner.
The good news is that the Cowboys have been exposed to this type of quarterback for a couple of years now with Michael Vick starting for the Eagles. I'm not saying RGIII is the next Michael Vick but he certainly appears to have that potential.
If nothing else it will make the games against the Redskins entertaining. I don't know that the Cowboys currently have the defense to deal with guys like Vick and RGIII but at least Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett know heading into free agency what they need to focus on with their defense.
The thing I like the best about the Redskins moving up in the draft to get RGIII is how much they gave up to move up just 4 spots in the draft. It sounds like the Rams and Redskins swapped first round picks this year and the Rams get 2 future 1st round picks and additional picks. That is a steep price to pay to move up just a few spots in the draft. They may have landed RGIII but he better be a freakishly good player because they have handcuffed themselves in the draft for the next few years.

I think the answer would be to get faster on defense. Sean Lee and eventually Bruce Carter will be good for that and Anthony Spencer is really good against bootlegs and speedy QBs. It is pretty worrisome considering we will be playing 4 games a year against speedy mobile QBs, but I think Jason Garret is smart enough to manage.ReplyDelete
- Cowboys4LyfeMarch 15, 2012 at 8:09 PM
Now that I have seen all the Redskins have gave up to get RGIII, it will definitely backfire. They may have a good qb for years, but they won't be able to fill the holes for future needs.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 5, 2012 at 9:18 AM
The Skins did not overpay for RGIII. Saying that is like saying someone overpaid for a a heart transplant. You can only "overpay" for something if you a. could have potentially paid less, or b. could have passed on the purchase. A. is not true, because another team was willing to make a similar offer to get that draft pick. Had the Skins offered any less than they did, they would not have gotten the pick. B. is not an option because not getting RGIII means either looking for someone else to fill the spot (none available) or trying to succeed with Grossman for another season (oh please, anything but that.) RGIII was damn expensive, but we couldn't afford to not go for it.ReplyDelete
As for the Cowboys defense, you have to love the idea that a team would base their defensive strategy on addressing ONE other team. Gotta love a rivalry. Just goes to to show that in DC and Dallas we all know there are only two games in the season that really matter. Haha.

The United States elected Franklin D. Roosevelt president in 1932 with the expectation he would use the tools of government to ease the suffering then resulting from the Great Depression (1929-1940). In 1935, Roosevelt implemented the largest public works program in history, the Works Progress Administration (WPA). It eventually employed millions of Americans. One of its most unusual efforts was the Federal Writers' Project, which produced a number of works including state guides such as this. Ever since, these guides have been highly valued for their thoroughness, coherence, and factual data. Although at the time the Massachusetts guide was accused by conservatives of having a left-wing bias for some parts of its history, it has remained a valuable resource. Here, the tours of valley towns are still usable, as is its chronology of Massachusetts history. The director of the guide project, Ray Allen Billington, went on to become an honored historian of the history of the American west. The light and occasionally irreverent tone he set for the guide is obvious from the Introduction ("One Moment, Please!") reproduced here.

Playing with dolls in the 19th century was the same as it is today. Little girls observed and often followed the same routines as their mothers in the household. A tea party was one playtime activity that imitated grown-up dining. All that was needed was a small table, a few chairs, the dolls, a tea set, such as this blue and white example, and a little imagination. This tea set is nearly complete with six cups and saucers, a teapot, sugar and creamer.

A late goal from Ashley Barnes kept Brighton on top of the npower Championship.
Gus Poyet's side had been frustrated for 80 minutes by Bristol City's former England goalkeeper David James and looked like drawing a blank for the first time this season.
The 41-year-old had pulled off a stunning double save to deny Craig Mackail-Smith in the second half.
But unbeaten Brighton kept plugging away and were finally rewarded when Barnes tucked in his fifth goal of the campaign to secure a fifth win in six games.
The Seagulls started sluggishly, though, and City's Marvin Elliott had the first chance of the match when he headed Neil Kilkenny's corner straight at Casper Ankergren.
Kilkenny got a sight of goal moments later but his ambitious long-range shot flew wide.
Brighton eventually got into their stride and Ryan Harley hit a free-kick into the wall, Barnes fired over and Mackail-Smith's shot was deflected for a corner.
However, they did not trouble James until the 34th minute when Mackail-Smith's drive was comfortably dealt with.
Their best move of the first half, involving Harley and Barnes, ended with Craig Noone blazing over the top.
And at the other end Jamal Campbell-Ryce stung Ankergren's palms with a long-range effort before the interval.
Campbell-Ryce was a lively presence just after the break as well with a shot which fizzed over the crossbar and another effort well kept out by Ankergren.
But Brighton were denied by a superb double save from James just before the hour-mark.
Noone's shot was parried by the veteran keeper and the ball fell to Mackail-Smith a couple of yards out, but James spread himself to block the Scotland striker's effort.
Noone had another opportunity moments later but again his shot was too high, and substitute Kazenga LuaLua fired wide from long range.
James tipped an effort from Gary Dicker over the top but he was finally beaten 10 minutes from time when his defence failed to deal with a corner.
Inigo Calderon headed the ball back into a crowded goalmouth, James saved Mackail-Smith's initial shot but this time was helpless to prevent Barnes smashing the rebound high into the net.
The Seagulls could have had a second when LuaLua swung in a dangerous cross but Mackail-Smith's glancing header flew wide.
But they were indebted to Ankergren in the dying moments when he denied Brett Pitman an equaliser.

The Pirate Bay has made a habit out of pointing and laughing at Big Content serving up thousands of links to copyrighted content to its 25 million+ users. The MPAA, IFPI, and other industry organizations have been left fighting skirmishes in courts around the world in an attempt to get TPB taken offline, or, at the very least, have access to it blocked. Big Content won a minor victory on Thanksgiving Day as a Danish court upheld a lower court decision forcing a Danish ISP to keep its customers from accessing the BitTorrent site.
In a press release trumpeting the decision, the IFPI referred to TPB as a "commercially-driven business," a charge that the site's admins have steadfastly denied. IFPI CEO John Kennedy called the decision precedent-setting, saying that it demonstrates that ISPs need to play a "key role" in policing copyright online. "The ruling is also a clear confirmation of the illegality of The Pirate Bay, coming just a few weeks before the criminal prosecution of the site's operators in Sweden," said Kennedy. "For everyone trying to make a living out of music, this is hopefully the start of the endgame for a business which is ripping off creators all over the world, and whose motivation is very clearly nothing to do with music but a great deal to do with making money."
Although Peter Sunde and the gang have yet to comment publicly on the latest ruling, they're likely to be unimpressed. After the original Danish ban was put in place, TPB boasted that traffic to the site actually increased as a result. There's little reason to believe things will be any different this time around.

Most Exciting Country News Story This Week? – Readers Poll
The most popular country news story on Taste of Country this week had to do with Kellie Pickler's hair -- or lack thereof -- and big heart. The singer shaved her beautiful blonde locks to support a close friend who's battling breast cancer. Was that the biggest story for you? What event from the last seven days did you find most exciting?
Taylor Swift's grand finale at the MTV VMAs deserves inclusion on this list, as do Alec Baldwin's comments about Hank Williams, Jr. Then there was Scotty McCreery putting a date on his upcoming Christmas album, and the nominee announcement for the 2012 CMA Awards in Nashville.

Silifke is a city (population: about 65,000) in the region of Cilician Mountains, Southern Turkey. Although it appears by the shore on the maps, the city itself isn't a coastal one, but it has suburbs by the shore.
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
Nearest airport for both international and domestic flights is in Adana, about 140 km away.
By bus[edit]
There are buses from Mersin and Konya (from Konya to Silifke costs 30 TL/person one-way, from Mersin 2hrs and 10TL (minibus)). The main bus station (otogar) lies in town centre.
By train[edit]
There is no rail network around Silifke. The nearest stations are in Karaman (about 150 km north, which has two daily connections from Istanbul) and in Mersin (about 90 km east, which has several daily regional expresses from Adana).
By car[edit]
The main highway between Antalya and Adana (D400) traverses the city. There is also another highway coming from Konya in north (D715) through spectacular Göksu Valley. Beware that all roads except the one leading to Mersin in the east are very (in some cases extremely) winding.

iGotWork necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 20 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Rendalen biobrensen – biopellets.no
I'll select THE BEST illustration image of the new front-page as THE WINNER.
Hi my name is Andreas. I represent a first-class retailer of high quality biopellets. This is a very efficient way of heating in buildings. My job is to create new web pages for the company and find the best alternative design.
Bio pellets is an efficient heating product, as a replacement for wood, electricity and oil for both the private- and business-market. The products are rated "class 1." in a scale from 1-3. This is the highest quality of pellets.
The pellets are made from the sawdust from scots pine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_sylvestris), or in other words: the business use the waste from sawmills etc. and turn it into first class energy source for heating. Bio, efficiency and quality and heat are four keywords. Also that this is a product meant for all types of customers!
REQ #1: Create an illustration of a Splash/campaign webpage design that represents the unique quality and character of the products.
A "wow-effect", where the quality and texture of the product is in focus..
The designer of the chosen mockup can also become the designer of the entire new page, soon to be released. (New specs for that web-site will be provided later on.)
The second web-design will be a much larger task, including frontpage, categorylevel design, product design and such.
General: use the setup from http://kampanje.masainorge.no/, but without the bottom fields (tips en venn & "positive effekter ved bruk av mbt-sko")
Create a warm feeling (the product they sell provide lots of heat in pellet-ovens)
Take the existing add as a starting-point, incorporate it into the "kampanje.masainorge.no mbt-setup".

Ubuntu 9.10 and GNOME 2.28: Advancing Past Meh
Eight Years Later: Are We There Yet?Many eons ago, GNOME 1.4 still lived, and it was good. It was extremely configurable and hackable. You could use either Enlightenment or Sawfish as the window manager, and could customize it to your heart's content. It was even friendly to homegrown GTK+ hacks. And then tragedy struck: the GNOME maintainers decided that 1.4 needed a ground-up rewrite, and thus GNOME 2.0 was born.
The only thing GNOME 2.0 had in common with 1.4 was the foot. The much-beloved flexibility of 1.4 was gone, gone with the wind, thrown into the bit-bucket without a backwards glance. The new and much simpler Metacity became the new window manager. Features were discarded wholesale in the name of "simplicity." Having no features is the ultimate in simplicity for sure. A number of humorous people created fake screenshots of the ultimate GNOME desktop, which was a blank screen with a single red button in the center labeled DO SOMETHING.
The first release of GNOME 2.0 was in 2002. As a devoted GNOME 1.4 fan, I kept re-visiting it, hoping that some of that old GNOME 1.4 magic would reappear. Alas, it never did, so KDE became my primary desktop environment, with dashes of XFCE, IceWM, Fluxbox, and Ratpoison as needed.
Eight Years LaterFast-forward to Ubuntu 9.10. This is the first *buntu and the first GNOME that have gotten past "meh" on my WowMeter. All of my personal computers are as Linux-friendly as they can possibly be--none of them require closed, proprietary drivers, all use components that are well-supported in Linux. When it comes to testing distros, these machines are creampuffs. So any distro that has a hard time with them has to work at it. And yet the one distribution I have always been able to rely on is plain-vanilla Debian; none of its "user-friendly" offspring have been as reliable as their grandmommy.
But so far, after a week of running Ubuntu 9.10 I am dangerously close to being impressed. I'll see how well it holds up over the long run, but so far it is good. Installation from the liveCD was fast and uneventful. For the first time ever, NetworkManager worked right and set up my wi-fi interface correctly. Usually I have to rip it out and configure networking manually.
One thing Ubuntu has always been good at is beautifully-rendered, readable fonts. You young whippershappers may not care, but when you're old and your eyeballs are giving you fits you'll appreciate this.
There don't seem to be as many fancy desktop effects as in KDE4. For one example, the desktop cube only rotates on its horizontal axis, while in KDE4 it rotates on both axes. There are some shimmery, explodey, and transparency effects that are not present as they are in KDE4. For me these are minor details, since I don't use most of them. It does do wobbly windows. Woo.
Much is made of boot times, and it does boot faster, but not a whole lot. Some of the delay is in my ASUS BIOS, which amusingly includes one of those instant-on Linux environments. Which doesn't work, but hangs on a blank screen, so I have it disabled until I feel like troubleshooting it.
The default applications seem a rather random lot, and I still don't understand the logic behind enabling Avahi and Bluetooth by default, while blocking network printers. There are virtually no Avahi-aware apps, and I doubt that Bluetooth users are in the majority, but almost everyone uses printers. The default CUPS configuration is an over-complicated mess, so I always replace it with my own.
ApplicationsSome GNOME applications are still too limited for my liking. For example, I am using Gedit to write this review. It does not have an option to zoom font sizes larger. You can select a larger font, but that's not what I want, I just want it bigger onscreen. I am seriously grumpy at the trend towards hiding full filepaths in application titlebars. Where do devs get the idea that users don't want to know where their files are? It also lacks an "open with" option, which is one of my favorite KDE features. For example, when I write an article for online publication in Kwrite I insert HTML tags, then use the "open with" feature to preview it in a Web browser.
The CD/DVD Creator has a rather bizarre file selector. It opens in Nautilus, and when you enter a directory in the left pane to select files, the CD/DVD Creator pane disappears, replaced by the directory contents. Not sure how that is supposed to help Jane and Joe Sixpack. I guess the thing to do is open a second Nautilus and drag files from there. Once you figure this part out it auto-detects your CD/DVD writer, and you get some useful options like write speed, and write to disc or create an .ISO image on your hard drive. If you insert a disc that already has content on it, you get a copy dialogue.
The screenshot application has evolved into a useful tool, and it even has an option to capture the mouse pointer, which my beloved K3b still cannot do. Though it is either shy or lazy, because it disappears after each and every screenshot, instead of staying open until you actually want to close it.

Apple's spending on research and development suggests that it has plenty of coolness left in its future, Josh Brown of Fusion Analytics said Monday.
"Look at their R&D budget. It's actually spiked. It's actually higher than any point, and that points to future coolness factors, future innovation," he said on CNBC's "Fast Money."
The company increased its R&D spending by $1 billion in fiscal year 2012 to $3.4 billion, according to its 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Brown argued that number would bode well for Apple.
"It's not as though they've just ceded this territory and said, 'OK, go ahead, guys. Do whatever you want.' They're still going for it, and I think it's a little bit early to count this company out in terms of coolness," he said.
Recent news reports have found that Apple's iPhone has been losing market share to the likes of Samsung.
(Read More: In Asia's Trend-Setting Cities, iPhone Fatigue Sets In)
SkyBridge Capital's Anthony Scaramucci said that Apple lost some of its "cool factor" with the death of co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs, but added that the company's stock continued to look attractive.
"If you're a value buyer, you want to buy Apple here," he said.
TheStreet CIO Stephanie Link offered a theory for declines in Apple's share price.
"I think that the investors are leaving Apple and going to Facebook and LinkedIn and Amazon," she said. "I think that's why you have this support there. It's a clear rotation."
Trader disclosure: On Jan. 28, 2013, the following stocks and commodities mentioned or intended to be mentioned on CNBC's "Fast Money" were owned by the "Fast Money" traders: Stephanie Link is long AAPL; Stephanie Link is long GS; Stephanie Link is long WFC; Stephanie Link is long CSCO; Stephanie Link is long IBM; Stephanie Link is long CAT; Stephanie Link is long SBUX; Joe Terranova is long VRTS; Joe Terranova is long AAPL; Joe Terranova is long GS; Joe Terranova is long AXP; Joe Terranova is long MS; Joe Terranova is long GLW; Joe Terranova is long DELL; Joe Terranova is long SWN; Joe Terranova is long XOM; Joe Terranova is long RIMM FEB $17 PUTS; Josh Brown is long AAPL; Josh Brown is long JPM; Josh Brown is long GDX; Josh Brown is long MS; Josh Brown is long XLU; Josh Brown is long TLT; Josh Brown is long XLF; Josh Brown is long WMT; Josh Brown is long TGT; Josh Brown is long GOOG.

Llerena has worked in social work for more than 17 years in New York City and the Bay Area, most recently as education director for the nonprofit Sacred Heart Community Service in San Jose.
"The Palo Alto community has been extremely proactive and successful in bringing people to the table, creating some infrastructure around action, (suicide) prevention, education and intervention," Llerena said Wednesday.
"There's been a huge amount of groundwork laid in this collaboration."
The coalition that became Project Safety Net emerged following the second of five student deaths in what came to be considered a "suicide cluster."
The shocking events, which began in spring 2009, prompted an outpouring of concern from all corners of the community. Over time, staff members from the school district and the city's Recreation Department organized the interested parties under an umbrella they named Project Safety Net.
The group holds monthly public meetings to exchange information on activities related to suicide prevention and youth mental health, such as events, training and outreach. It also promotes donations to Track Watch, a program that uses volunteers and paid security guards to monitor Caltrain tracks in Palo Alto, where a number of suicides have occurred.
Its stated mission is "to develop and implement an effective, comprehensive, community-based mental health plan for overall youth well-being in Palo Alto."
Besides the city and the school district, members include the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, PTA representatives and a wide array of local nonprofits.
Until now, Project Safety Net has been staffed on a part-time basis by Rob de Geus, a manager in the city's Recreation Department, and Amy Drolette, coordinator of student services for the school district.
Llerena's hiring as a full-time program director was made possible by funds Stanford University is paying the city in "public benefits" to make up for environmental impacts associated with the hospital's massive, $5 billion expansion project, said Greg Betts, director of the city's Community Services Department.
The 1.3 million-square-foot hospital expansion will exceed Palo Alto zoning regulations, for which Stanford agreed to compensate in part by paying about $45 million, according to the city.
According to Betts, "$2 million (of the public benefit payment) was earmarked for youth well-being, and a portion of that money was used to be able to hire Christina.
"Part of the objective of the position is not only just coordinating Project Safety Net, but also looking at ways of grant-writing, both foundation and donation support, so the position is somewhat sustainable," Betts said.
Llerena earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Michigan and a master's in social work from Columbia University.
In an interview Wednesday, she said she was drawn to the job because of a "passion for community collaboratives," which she described as a relatively new phenomenon in her field.
She described a collaborative she launched in Daly City in 2001, using tobacco tax funds to create a childhood and family resource center on the campus of John F. Kennedy Elementary School, now known as Our Second Home. Llerena also worked extensively with seriously emotionally disturbed youth in New York City.
"We were really impressed with the depth of Christina's coalition-building experience and passion for working with youth, including her dedication to youth well-being," City Manager Jim Keene said.

text: Control Stocker Cattle Risk with Management April 4, 2012 10:49 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Drovers Guest Editor Backgrounding may seem simple: Buy calves right, feed them well, keep them healthy and sell them for more. But all the details behind that list prove how difficult the job can be, as noted during the recent "Backgrounding for Quality" field day at White Brothers Cattle Co., near Chickasha, Okla. At the seminar, co-sponsored by Oklahoma State University (OSU), Pfizer Animal Health and Certified Angus Beef LLC, local veterinarian Bruss Horn emphasized that good management starts with the buy. "You can purchase your cattle at a salebarn, you can purchase them on a video but you have to know what you're getting," he said, noting that he considers most salebarn cattle "high risk." Previous history and management give a producer clues as to how to handle them upon arrival—a step that requires advanced planning. "Be ready to go," he suggested, citing equipment, labor and planned operating procedures. "Are you going to process them right off the truck or are you going to let them rest?" Horn asked. Local calves are less likely to benefit from a break than long-distance arrivals, where the plan might be, "I am going to give them some good clean hay and water and they are going to lie down and rest before we process them the next day." He said using preventative antibiotics on high-risk cattle—co-mingled groups, those with no history or known problems—helps maintain health. That's in tandem with a good vaccination program on all cattle. At Horn's practice, it's common to give shots for blackleg, BVD (bovine viral diarrhea) and IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis). "I am a big proponent of modified-live vaccines. I just think you'll get a whole lot better response with them," he said. They also "double deworm" cattle at receiving, using an injectable and an oral dose at the same time. Horn brought up other best management practices, like dehorning, castrating any bull calves and testing for persistently infected (PI) BVD cattle. "So, it's time to turn them out—the herd health does not stop there," he said. "You know there is a difference between vaccination and immunization. Vaccination is getting a shot and immunization is if it worked." Free-choice trace minerals, including iron and copper, can help that response. "You have got to have them on a good plane of nutrition," Horn said. OSU professor Gerald Horn, ironically no relation to the Dr. Horn who preceded his own talk, covered all things on that front. "Sustained corn prices will result in a paradigm shift, accentuating the importance of growing those cattle to heavier weights on grass before bringing them forward," said the animal scientist. He shared research that included both fall and spring calves that were either weaned directly into a feedyard or grown on grass or wheat pasture first. As expected, the yearlings had worse feed-to-gain ratios (6.83 vs. 5.44 lb.), but heavier hot carcass weights. The average daily gains (ADG) were similar, calves at 3.63 lb. and 3.81 lb. for yearlings. "We all know that the growth potential of our cattle has increased over quite a few years and I think that's the primary explanation for that," he said. Turning cattle into yearlings did not hurt quality grade. "That is different than some of the data recorded up in the northern Great Plains," he noted. Mostly that's due to high-quality forage—full of protein and energy—or supplementation. "For long feeding programs in Oklahoma, supplementation programs have been an absolute game changer," he said. Talking about the development of fat deposits during grazing, Horn said there is a strong, positive relationship between marbling and ADG, indicating that adding pounds and quality are mutually beneficial. Veterinarian Mike Nichols, of Pfizer Animal Health, reminded stockers that their charge is to make money by eliminating the gamble in the high-risk cattle. "No segment of the beef industry is more focused on health," he said. "If nutrition is not right, the animal health aspect will not be right." And in today's climate, full of high input prices, sometimes it's good to reflect. "With investment in the calf, the results of our decisions have more impact than they ever have before," he said.

Post subject: Windsurf-SUP crossovers - any reviews?
What are the Windsurf-SUP crossover boards like to ride?
A couple are the RRD series, the Whopper among other from Starboard, Bic Jungle, some JP, kona.
Any reviews from the coast or inside the bay?
I'm interested in the potential of the sail, wave sail, paddle surf combination. Looking primarily at models that don't have a retractable daggerboard.

Of the boards that you mentioned only the Kona is a real windsurfer, and only the Kona offers fun/comfortable in the straps high wind freeriding and light wind wave sailing. The UK Boards forum has some good reviews of the Kona. If you mainly want to paddle and seldom use a sail then most of the major SUP brands that come with a mast insert are OK. If you mainly want to sail and occasionally paddle, I'd say you are SOL unless you are light enough and agile enough to paddle a Kona.
So far I have sailed a Amundson 11'3, a RRD 8'5 Wassup and a Coreban 9'6 that I had a mast track installed on. None of them planed as easily as a windsurfer. They were all a lot of fun mucking about in the waves in light wind. The RRD went DTL the best. Both the RRD and the Coreban planed easier than the Amundson. My favorite all round SUP / light wind wavesailing of the 3 is the Coreban - planed surprisingly well for a surf rockered SUP, and amazing to paddle surf.

Not sure which bay you're talking about, but if you're near SF bay, Boardsports in Alameda has quite a few hybrid models in their rental fleet, Starboard, Naish, and JP's I think.
I have rented several over the last 3 seasons, but I always go back to the Naish Nalu 11'6 AST. Not the fastest, but a very comfortable flat water SUP (haven't tried it in waves), and an excellent old school sailboard reminiscent of an original Windsurfer. And so much fun to surf down the chop in light wind that it'd probably be great in small waves too, it has the tail and fin for it.
It's a heavy but very solid board. I believe it's in their rental fleet for the 2nd or 3rd season, used for SUP rental, beginner windsurf rentals, and SUP/windsurf lessons, one of their workhorse, but still in great condition. No daggerboard but no problem going upwind thanks to long rails. Confortable padded deck in the right places. Fun to dick around on in sub-planing conditions, and still very fun when on a plane.

I was in Texas last week at WorldWinds and got some time on the water on the 10' WASSUP with footstraps while Brendon from ABK was on the 8'5". Brendon got really close to pulling off a Flaka and did manage to plane out of his donkey jibes. I planed out of jibes on the 10 and even had fun chop-hopping. I enjoy jumping the 8'5" but this was the first time I tried it on the 10.
If you do plan on using it for light wind cruising, consider the convertible, with the center fin and I think the 10' will be the better choice. It's also easier to paddle. More experience paddlers prefer the 8'5" in waves but the 10' is easier and has better glide for paddling flat water. It's not as lively and maneuverable as the 8'5" though.
Neither are as fast as regular windsurf boards, but they plane well and are fun once up and going.
This video is old by now but still worth seeing for you if you haven't yet:
That's the WASSUP 8'5" and Diamond 9'6".
And this one:

I own the 10'6" rrd wassup convertible, Delta Windsurf sells RRD and they ordered it for me at the end of last season. For me, it's the perfect setup, but MY sailing it is pretty low on the priority.
I SUP in the surf at mellow sites in Santa Cruz, and it's fun for those because even a greenhorn like me can turn it. The other SUP's I tried would just tilt in the water with rail pressure and still go straight. So if you want to surf with it, then I'd highly recommend it.
I'm a greenhorn which is why I went with the 10'6". Shorter and I was unsure if I could stay on, I still struggle to get it out through beachbreak surf, and sometimes fall when trying to spin the board around to catch a wave.
I paddle it in flat water in the bay some early mornings, and it doesn't have much glide. The width and rocker both work against glide. So if your main goal is flat water paddling I'd look elsewhere.
My kids windsurfing this board (non-planing) out at the delta in the play pen. This board is stable enough that the small chop no longer scares the kids, the padded deck prevents scratches on their knees, and the width means when they step backwards (towards rail) they won't step into the water and they get a moment to recover. This board gives a lot of confidence to the beginner windsurfer.
Demo some boards at Boardsports, Ed's at Cowell's, Delta Windsurf, or Covewater in the conditions you plan to use the board, to get a handle on how they respond.

I am about 190 pounds and use a starboard 9' converse for SUP cruising, SUP surfing, SUP wavesailing. It will not really get on a plane with the sail setup, but it can be a lot of fun for the days when the conditions are less then perfect. I usually try to ride the softer portion of the wave since it is a lot of board for wavesailing. For straight windsurfing it feels a little funny but would be very stabel for a beginner in moderate conditions.
It's main strength seems to be in sup surfing.- enough stability- plenty of manouverability.
It woks fine to just sup cruise, yet it is not fast and does not cut through the water if you are trying to paddle for miles and miles....
I like the board a lot since there are so many different ways to ride it!
hope this helps

Hi Antonius
I got to try several of the RRD convertible boards a few weekends ago.
The WASSUP's sailed great in light wind with the center fin installed - they point upwind easily, almost difficult to make it down wind, but its not a problem without the center fin of course...a board pointing upwind is what you want most of the time for beginners or light wind sailing.
Wassups are nice and comfortable as SUP's. No, they don't have the glide that some SUP's like Hobie Surf and Naish's, but they are super stable, durable, and have soft deck all over it.
The smaller SUP's they have are (I cant remember the name) easier to sail downwind and turn - there is one that is a tri-fin.
RRD does make something called a Cruiser convertible (the one with Zebra wood on the deck) - that thing sails in light wind almost as good as any old longboard like a Superlight or an Equipe, and tracks beautifully as an SUP.
Have not had a chance to sail a Fanatic Fly or a BIC Jungle convertible SUP.

One thing about the Kona's is they are pretty good windsurf boards, and fair SUP's or Surf Boards. They do not compare to a real SUP or a convertible though.
