I suppose it will really depend on your budget and what he likes. After discussing this question with my partner, here are some ideas we came up with.
These were what we thought might be the most symbolic, most functional, or most valuable gifts you could get for a soon-to-be medical student. However, it all does come down to budget and taste.
Do you have a gift idea you would like to share? Leave a comment below.

No Doom 4 at QuakeCon 2010Those of you hoping for details on id Software's Doom 4 project from this year's QuakeCon 2010, myself included, are going to be waiting a bit longer. Unfortunately, Doom 4 will not be shown at this year's event even though the company promised to show off the game last year.
The bad news came as Todd Hollenshead welcomed everybody to the event prior to John Carmack's keynote address. Hollenshead quickly apologized, explaining that the company wants to put more work into the Doom 4 project before it is revealed.
Start booking your tickets for QuakeCon 2011, which is most likely when the game will finally be let out of its cage. Rage, however, will be shown off tomorrow at 3PM CST and Shacknews will be there to bring you fresh impressions.

Part II - What Can We Do to Get Romney/Ryan elected?
Part I of What Can We Do to Get Romney/Ryan reelected is locking out due to so many EXCELLENT ideas! I have been requested to open Part II of this thread, and so here it is. (Being as computer illiterate as I am, I'm not sure how to provide a link to Part I, but I believe someone can provide that in the next post here.)
Our goal is to come up with continuing suggestions, ideas, constructive and productive brainstorming as to what we can do in the remaining 4 weeks to get Romney and Ryan elected this November! We welcome all positive and productive suggestions that address this question! And, I believe that there may be some postings that will appear here looking for volunteers to implement these ideas.
Special thanks to all who have been so helpful in posting in Part I of this thread - please keep posting your excellent suggestions!

I try to combine tradition with what's in the score, and ultimately make it different from anything that's gone before
'I've been lucky enough to study with four great teachers,' says US cellist Hans Kristian Goldstein, who won the $5,000 first prize at the Schmidbauer International Young Artist Competition in Texas in January. The 25-year-old was taught by Hans Jørgen Jensen while still at high school, then Amit Peled at the Peabody Institute from the age of 17. Last year he completed a masters with Torleif Thedéen in Stockholm, and is now working towards a graduate certificate with Ralph Kirshbaum in Los Angeles. 'I've been considering whether to get a degree for teaching at college level,' he says. 'It's another way to learn about pieces in greater detail, and discover more about the scores.'
Born in Norway, Goldstein began studying the cello at the age of eleven (having switched from the violin), so he could perform chamber music with his two elder brothers. 'They also played Bluegrass and country, and I joined an alternative rock band at school. That element of improvisation is still important to me now, and it's something I'm working on with Ralph. I try to combine tradition with what's in the score, and ultimately make it different from anything that's gone before — but in an authentic way so that it becomes sincere.'

As corporations and individuals populate the social networking landscape with learning content, there is a huge potential to leverage this rich source of content to improve learning products and learning outcomes; and to enhance social learning experiences.
Learning organizations need to embrace a knowledge strategy that leverages both formal and informal content so that learners can share experiences, contextualise content, and collaborate on different activities.
This session addresses the problems of how to build a personalized content layer on top of the original content, and how to seamlessly synchronize this personalized content onto multiple devices in multiple sessions.
Participants will learn the content distribution challenges; like content compatible to multiple devices or browsers, context switching across multiple devices in multiple user sessions, disconnected learning on the go, and digital rights management for content security.
In this session, you will learn:
- How to enrich content by collaboration with learners
- How to increase effectiveness of learning content by increased user engagement through annotation activities
- How instructors can assess application of the knowledge without explicit quizzes or assignments
- How publishers benefit with increased insight into reader's thoughts, feedback, and reviews
- The fundamentals of Annotations – where annotations persist in a central cloud repository

Pregnancy Hits and Misses
Well, as this pregnancy gets down to the last 10 weeks, there are some things I'm ready to say goodbye too and somethings I'm going to miss when little James arrives. Jay and I plan on only have 2 babies, so this is the last 10 weeks in my life I'll be pregnant - and I try to remind myself of that when I get frustrated with it.
Things I'll miss when I'm not pregnant anymore:
1. Feeling James wiggle around in my tummy. Truly by far my most favorite part of being pregnant.
2. Having a perfectly valid excuse to go to bed at the same time Grace does.
Things I'll be glad to enjoy again once James is here:
1. Of course, holding my new baby and watching Jay and Grace with him.
2. Having a drink or two with my friends - Skype wine nights with Heidi, backporch sitting with Meesh, etc.
3. Having the energy to stay up past when Grace goes to bed - I know not at first, but down the road!
4. Being back to my normal small size - I'm already charting my plan of attack.
5. I miss real exercise - the kind where you work up a sweat and feel amazing afterwards. I want to run and lift weights and not have to wear 4 sports bras to do so!
6. Ready to not have to visit the ladies room very 10 minutes.
I know I'll miss being pregnant when I'm not anymore … but for the time being, I'm pretty excited to meet my new baby and get back to "normal."

Report: 49ers to start Kaepernick Sunday
Santa Clara, CA (Sports Network) - The San Francisco 49ers will reportedly start Colin Kaepernick at quarterback instead of Alex Smith for Sunday's road game against the New Orleans Saints.
A source told SI.com Wednesday night that the decision to start Kaepernick wasn't based on health. His first career start came in Monday's 32-7 rout of the Chicago Bears.
Kaepernick started in place of Smith, who is suffering from a concussion he sustained in a Nov. 11 tie against the Rams.
"To me, it's the opposite of a controversy," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said.
Kaepernick went 16-for-23 for 243 yards and led the 49ers (7-2-1) to scores on their first four possessions Monday night.
After the game, members of the media asked Harbaugh who would start at New Orleans. He responded, "I usually tend to go with the guy that has the hot hand and we have two quarterbacks that have a hot hand."

Joan "Frec" Baggs knew how to talk to people. The famous and not-so famous.
"My mother was extremely feisty. That is what probably kept her living so long," said son Craig Baggs about his mom, an author, English teacher, fashion designer and socialite, who died at 92 on Dec. 22 at an Ocala assisted living facility of complications from pneumonia.
Frec, so-named by her late husband William "Bill" Baggs for the freckles that dotted her pearly skin thanks to the South Florida sun, "was not afraid to speak her position and feelings regardless of whether it was politically correct," Baggs, 60, said from his Ocala home. "The good news is that what people tended to realize is they always knew where they stood."
Except when they lost their footing completely. There was that night when famed CBS journalist Walter Cronkite was thrown headlong into the swimming pool at her Coral Gables home by a pack of peeved print journalists.
At that soirrée, Frec was faced with cooking one of her specialties for a room full of media big wigs during the 1964 Democratic National Convention, a task the Georgia-born woman relished. Her husband was editor for The Miami News at the time, hence the gaggle of journalists who were in town to cover incumbent Lyndon B. Johnson's race to hold the presidency he inherited after the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Nov. 1963. In addition to his role with the paper, Bill Baggs, a civil rights crusader, was an adviser to President Kennedy and had done diplomatic work abroad. The Baggs were connected.
"She hosted a number of parties and became sort of like an ambassador to a certain extent," Baggs said. "All these famous people came through our house like Martin Luther King and others. She had to be able to greet them and be on the same level as far as understanding what their issues were and what the causes were and she was very innovative."
The print journalists' issues with Cronkite were part envy, part job hustle. Their cause was not to be elbowed aside.
Television, thanks to its influence on the 1960 presidential debate that helped decide telegenic Kennedy's victory over a sweaty Nixon, had quickly ascended in the 1960s. Print journalists were not taking kindly to being shoved to the margins by the likes of Cronkite and fellow network anchors Chet Huntley and David Brinkley who were clamoring for quotes and bites of Frec's famed Brunswick stew at her home.
"A number of well-known print journalists were at this party and they got Cronkite. I heard this loud splash. I was 10, looking through the gate, and he got thrown into the deep end of our pool," Baggs said, chuckling. "All the journalists ran through the gate and I heard Cronkite cussing and he was totally soaked. The journalists didn't know what to do or say and they just looked at him. All of a sudden he started laughing. Profusely. And then they all started laughing. 'Ah, hell let's go get a drink,' Cronkite said."
Frec, born Joan Orr and a member of the Women's Army Corp (WAC) and a Red Cross volunteer in Miami Beach during World War II when she met Baggs, was used to making a splash.
After all, when Baggs worked up the nerve — and managed to find $20 for a prime table near the door at The Forge in Miami Beach — actor John Wayne, in town filming the 1945 war movie, They Were Expendable, and clearly toasted, literally fell across their table. The 6-foot, 4-inch star topped wine glasses all over petite Frec, just as Baggs was about to pop the question. Nonplussed, "My dad stood up over John Wayne and said, 'Frec would you marry me?' and she laughed and said yes," their first-born said.
Frec worked a an English teacher at Ransom Everglades. After her husband's death from pneumonia at age 48 in 1969, Frec, who had a Master's in French and Spanish from Northwestern University, would soon leave academia and open a women's designer clothing store in South Miami. She also became a real estate agent with Esslinger-Wooten-Maxwell (ESM) and wrote two books. The self-published I Thought He Hung the Moon: A True Love Story is a memoir of her life with her husband whose name would grace Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park for his conservation efforts. Classic Southern Recipes: Mother's Favorite Receipts by Her Tried and True Methods (Morris Press, $21) collected 99 recipes, including the Brunswick stew recipe.
"She was like my second mom," said Chris Andersen, daughter of Hardy Matheson of the pioneering Matheson family. "She was a family friend since I was born. She was my English teacher at Ransom Everglades and I worked for her when she had Frec in South Miami. She was an amazing person. If there's one word to describe her it would be energetic. If she had an hour in the day she'd find something to do. She was volunteer tutoring until her 80s. She never gave up on kids."
The two last had lunch in South Miami a couple years ago for her 90th birthday. Frec, who is also survived by youngest son Mahoney Baggs, 56, of Miami, four grandchildren and a great granddaughter, moved to Ocala after that lunch date to be near her eldest son.
"She needed someone to live with her and I convinced her to come up [to Ocala.] The only way for her to give in I had to convince her there would be people up here who would play bridge," Craig Baggs, an investment adviser, said. "That's one of the great things. I got a chance to spend a lot of time with her and have a lot of fun. She was a great listener and we'd talk about politics all the time."
Diana Sanchez-Ordónez, another friend and colleague at EWM, remembers that sense of adventure and verve. Frec had accepted her invitation for a trip to Ecuador at age 82 at a moment's notice.
"She was like part of my family for 15 days and they all got to know her and love her," Sanchez-Ordónez said. "She was absolutely delightful and she said when I came back, 'You gave me an extra 10 years.' She was an adventurer and she was always telling these beautiful stories."
Art Levy, park services specialist at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, admired Frec's manner during her visits to the park that bore her married surname.
"What impressed me was she was a very genteel woman of the South. Someone you don't see anymore," Levy said. "Just the way she spoke was very soothing and very respectful. She had a great respect for her husband and was much appreciative of the work we were doing at the park. She said her husband would have been proud of the park."
A service will be held in Athens, Ga. on Jan. 18.

The Yardley Grille reviews from OpenTable diners
- Lax Restaurant ManagementDisappointedDined on 11/15/2013First called restaurant number to hear recording that as of 10/31/13, the restaurant now open three nights only, one of which was Friday. Then placed reservation for four at 7pm-Fri 11/15/13 through Open Table. Received confirmation that reservation was accepted. Arrived at restaurant that is located on second floor of clubhouse. Walked up to second floor. Dead quiet and dark. How could this be after hearing earlier announcement and receiving confirmation. And I had others in my party for which it was their first time at The Yardley Grille, after hearing me rave about the place from last visit. Total embarassment for me. Comments from members of my party ranged from "This is rediculous." to "We'll never come back here again."
- The service was awful exceptMADEDined on 10/12/2013The service was awful except for the bus person who was excellent. The food was a joke. The menu was a joke. I was very disappointed to bring my husband and family for this birthday and experience this poor showing. This is not the Yardley Grill we knew.Special Features:
- Yardley's landmark -ewonderVIPDined on 8/26/2013The view is superb but the food and service are even better. Year after year the Yardley Inn manages to stay fresh and innovative. Inviting, warm atmosphere with hospitable service differentiates this locale from the rest. If you happen to be from out of town you will be treated like a local regular (of which there are many). Always exceeds expectations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good Foodlchevy45Dined on 8/10/2013My husband and I found this place through Living Social. We got there very late around 8:30 so it wasn't busy. I was surprised how reasonably priced the meals were and they include soup or salad. I ordered the steak and my husband had the special which was Cod. I ordered my steak well done. It came out medium rare. Unfortunately I had to send mine back. My husband was done his dinner by the time it came back. It was cooked perfectly the second time unfortunately it had a cream sauce on it and the sauce had broken down. They gave my husband a free dessert to eat while I was eating. Except for the steak cooked wrong the first time, the meal was delicious. We would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The service was very good.handymanDined on 8/10/2013The service was very good. The crab cakes had large pieces of crab meat inside.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was very good and theOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/7/2013Food was very good and the service was very attentive.Special Features:
- Lunch overlooking the linksshouldbeaicriticDined on 8/7/2013We bought a Living Social Deal for the Yardley Grill a couple months ago. Our food was very good, there were only a few other tables filled, so the one server was sufficient, and the view was lovely. My husband had the modified Reuben - very good, very messy - with fried pickles, and I had the Fish & Chips - small fish, very many fries. We will return, probably with friends. My only concern was that I called three times to reserve, and find out if it was wheelchair accessible, and no one returned my calls.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly Recommended.GreatFoodFanDined on 8/3/2013The Yardley Grille doesn't look like much as far as decor goes. But the great food and service makes up for it. There is a very nice golf course view, but the dining room is a little dated. Their prices are very reasonable.Special Features:
- Shellfish nightHighZDined on 7/31/2013Great mussels and crab legs. Reasonable price. Key lime pie was a nice touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MediocreFoodie247Dined on 7/30/2013I ordered the filet. It tasted old and chewy. The calamari was decent, but not great.
- Same old, same oldkarhanDined on 7/13/2013Owners and management have changed. Expected an upgrade. All was the same. My food was very heavy. The thickest cream sauce I have ever had – chicken and artichokes. Portion was large.
- Little -Known Neighborhood PlaceDianahwDined on 6/29/2013The pluses of The Yardley Grill are the view of the golf course through large windows, it was not crowded and the noise level was low The food was good, but the scallops were very salty . The servers were college age kids, so not perfect. My husbands drink was never picked up at the bar so he went in for it himself. The server did not wait for him to finish his appetizer before bringing the entrees. Nothing a little training couldn't fix. The prices are good. The menu had many nice items with variety to suit anyone. My only comment is that there were no non- seafood appetizers, as with many restaurants. The salad came with the meal. We will go back again. We made a reservation and did NOT have to wait for a table.Special Features:
- We had a wonderful mealMadonnaDined on 6/26/2013There was a party of four of us. We all enjoyed our meals very much. Two had salmon and it was done perfect. They said it was one of the best they ever had . One of us had the Seafood Night Special, he had Mahi Mahi and said it was fantasic. Three of us had the Lobster bisque and it was delicious, full of lobster meat. I had a sirlion steak in brandy sauce with peppercorns and enjoyed it very much. I also had the French onion soup, which i found a little to salty for my taste. The atmosphere was quiet with a secenic view of the golf course. The service was excellent and very friendly. We look forward to coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- An excellent lunchNettoVIPDined on 6/20/2013Enjoyed both the Reuben and crab cake entrees for lunch. The side salad was also large enough to share - fresh and tasty. Wait staff was attentive - view of the golf course beautiful. On a weekday, go early for lunch (noon) and the atmosphere may be quiet and romantic. Go an hour later with the kids. Prices for lunch are very reasonable.Special Features:
- Everything but the food.TCXRyNoDined on 6/15/2013Everything here was great, except for the food. The scenery is beautiful, the hostess and wait staff were prompt and friendly, the only problem was the food!
- out of foodmaytryagainDined on 6/15/20133 went there for Fathers day celeb. at 6:30 Sat. night. 2 ordered NY strip. Waitress came back in awhile and said only 1 avail.so changed 1 to salmon. Came back again in awhile and said none avail. We said we are leaving after finishing drinks and she came back said scallops we ordered as appetizer were ready and would be no charge. So we enjoyed them, then left to find a place to get strip steaks for dinner. Felt sorry for waitress and left her a tip.Special Features:
- The food and service wereOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/15/2013The food and service were quite good. The ambience was 1950s institutional. Needs updating badly. It is a great location and could be spectacular with a major facelift.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service accuracyLuv2returnDined on 6/14/2013We are members and they NEVER get our order correct. It has become a family joke. Always sending at least one, sometimes two meals back out of 5. So very sad, aggravating and annoying, especially because we have to eat there to satisfy the minimum.
- Diamond in the rough.GreatFoodFanDined on 6/8/2013The decor is lacking but the food and service was very good. We did have a nice table overlooking the golf course. Would definitely go back again.Special Features:
- Excellent experienceLesiaDined on 6/8/2013The menu was not too long but certainly had plenty of choices for most people. I had the filet mignon, while my husband asked for special treatment of a chicken dish (to be gluten-free) - both meals came out executed per our specifications and delicious. The service was very attentive and helpful throughout. The ambiance is magnificent with a 2nd floor 180 degree view of the beautiful outdoors and golfing greens. We will definitely be back, and soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Prime rib nightNantucketVisitorVIPDined on 6/5/2013The prime rib was really good, very generous Queen size portion, and it was half price night on house wines, all in all excellent!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Prime rib nightMarmaeDined on 6/5/2013Their salads and soups are fresh and delicious, but when one orders prime rib medium rare, that definition means the meat should come out pink not brown.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurant in YardleyTravelingdinersDined on 5/31/2013We dined with another couple on Friday night. The Yardley Grille is located at Yardley Country Club on Reading Ave. in Yardley. It's a private club but somehow the restaurant is open to the public. The dining room is beautiful with spectacular views of the golf course. We had cocktails and a special appetizer of scampi soft shelled crab. Outstanding! The entrees we chose were prepared nicely. Shrimp over linguine salmon, NY STRIP 14 oz. and the same steak served au poive. Everyone raved at the quality and portion size. We were too ful for dessert. They have a new chef who has turned the place around.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Blahtgill1977VIPDined on 5/17/2013Food was nasty. Overall experience was blah. It started out bad when my son wanted a window seat and they wouldn't let us sit there because it was a big table but the restaurant was not even half full. Food wasn't good. Wont ever go back.
- Lunch with friendsdaddyiDined on 5/14/2013If you enjoy good service, a scenic atmosphere and a place where you can really talk, this is it. Food is standard fare, but the chocolate mousse dessert was incredible. Overall, an enjoyable place to meet and talk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I ordered my filet well done,MortonsDined on 5/11/2013I ordered my filet well done, it was cooked medium rare. The potatoes that accompanied my meal were hard. The tables are too close together, we were able to hear every word that was spoken at the table next to us. My drink was lacking liquor, it was mostly orange juice. I am not one to send food back or complain about minor issues at the restaurant. I made due with what was served to me.Special Features:
- pleasant supriseBookstudDined on 5/11/2013All in all I was pleasantly surprised by the ambience, the view, and - with one major exception - the menu prices. With the notable exception of a ridicuoulsy overpriced filet mignon, everthing else, including the wine per glass rate, was very reasonable. I would have rated the food higher if not for the pedestrian house salad, the totally unimaginative enriched white flour rolls, and the lack of choices re vegggies and a starch. And it is hard to believe that is the best they can do for a bread basket! But I would still go back just for the pleasant change of pace experience.I would recommend this to a friend.
- EnjoyableOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/10/2013We had a wonderful evening and will go back. The food was excellent with a nice view of the golf course. WE appreciated that there was plenty of room and we could talk privately and be heard by each other.Special Features:
- We were happy to see the restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/30/2013We were happy to see the restaurant at Yardley CC back to normal. Our previous visit was quite disappointing because only one server was on duty, and the food took more than half an hour to arrive. The website mentions Chef Ami. We are wondering if she is the same Chef Ami who once graced the restaurant at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton. In any case, it's good to know that Yardley Country Club is once again an attractive and reliable place to dine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ok food, not so ok serviceYPBLDined on 4/28/2013THe scene was open and bright overlooking the golf course. The food was average to good. But the time we went (Sunday afternoon) they apparently weren't prepared to open for lunch. They didn't have three items on the menu that we wanted to order! Maybe dinner will be better.Special Features:
- Went for lunch with two otherOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/25/2013Went for lunch with two other people. No one was at the hostess station to greet us. Looked in the dining room there were four other tables seated with only one waitress. Menu looks great but doesn't really explain what is in each entrée (not great for people with food allergies...like myself). All three of us found hidden surprises that were not listed in the description of the meal. Service with only one waitress was surprisingly not as slow as we would have thought. The waitress was really nice and attentive. A little disappointed in the dessert selection. This is place for people that are not in a rush.Special Features:
- I ordered filet mignon whichJimSalDined on 4/24/2013I ordered filet mignon which was tough and tasteless, more like round steak or stew meat. It was cooked perfectly so it wasn't the chef's fault. Bleu cheese salad dressing was watery, the color of thousand island dressing with a few specs of bleu cheese, tasteless. Shrimp cocktail had a dollop of cocktail sauce at the bottom of the dish, more like a garnish, couldn't get any onto the shrimp, the waitress gave us additional sauce and, you guessed it, tasteless. First time that's happened in over 50 years of having shrimp cocktail. I'm not a food snob and I'm probably the least fussy eater you'll ever meet, but this was a bad meal.
- Far below average food quality,funfoodieDined on 4/18/2013Far below average food quality, poor table service, servers could not pronounce the dishes on the menu, they played a radio talk show over the speakers instead of music, and the appearance of the restaurant was very dreary.

It's quiet and one of the few places where you can have a conversation with others at your table, and the wait staff is always pleasant. They do need to redecorate. The carpeting is perfectly ugly. They need a woman's advice!Special Features:

We went to the Yardley Grill which is located on the second floor or the Yardley Country Club Clubhouse. We got a window table by the first Tee box but unfortunately it was raining so we didn't get to see any golfers. The good part of the rain meant that the dining room was empty. I ordered the shrimp Gumbo soup. It was nice and spicy with shrimp, chicken and sausage. For our entrees we both ordered the turkey club sandwich. I got the side of sweet potatoes and Linda got the onion rings. The clubs were large. You could not get the whole sandwich in your mouth for the first couple bits. The turkey was a lunch meat turkey but it was good. My sweet potatoes were OK but Linda's onion rings wereSpecial Features:

Upon arrival dining room was half full. We ordered steamed oysters, steamed clams & crab legs. After a 35 min wait, and apologies from the waiter, our food arrived dry & overcooked!! We then thought we'd try the crabcake, soft shell crabs & mussels - figuring we'd order all at once! After @ 40 min wait, our waiter informed us that these had been "deep 6'd" & no longer available. Others were also hearing the same & angrily left! We did too! Waiter to do his best. Told us that the kitchen was "overwhelmed" & under-ordered seafood as they didn't such "a crowd"!!

Can Lenovo Find the Answer Google Couldn't for Motorola?
Chinese PC giant Lenovo just inked a deal to buy the Motorola Mobility smartphone unit from Google -- and investors pummeled its stock. But Lenovo may surprise pessimists.
Chinese PC giant Lenovo just inked a deal to buy the Motorola Mobility smartphone unit from Google -- and investors pummeled its stock. But Lenovo may surprise pessimists.
Over the next few years, 3-D printed objects done on home machines will be on par with those made in factories, and 3-D printers should become common household appliances.
Sometimes, no matter how many months a company invests in development or how many millions it spends on marketing, a new product can fall flat on its face. That's what happened to these new offerings, the biggest product flops of 2012.
Personal computer sales fell 1.1% in the first quarter compared to the same period in 2010, according to industry research firm Gartner, but while its report lists a few possible reasons for the decline, none are compelling, and the drop is unlikely to presage a serious decline in PC sales.
Gartner has lowered its laptop-sales forecast for this year and the next, predicting that the popularity of tablets and smartphones will slow laptop sales.
Research firm Gartner said Thursday it expects IT spending to grow 5.1% from 2010, an increase from a previous forecast of 3.5% growth.
Australia, Canada and Israel, among others, have dropped off Gartner's list of top countries for outsourcing. Meanwhile, Colombia, Mauritius and Bulgaria made it on the list for the first time.
IT trends researcher Gartner just cut its forecast for 2011 worldwide PC shipment growth from 18.1% to 15.9%. That's still very robust growth for PCs, but they see it as an early sign that the wild popularity of the iPad is taking a toll on the rest of the computer industry.
Research company Gartner slashed its forecasts for global computer shipments in 2010 and 2011, saying that growing demand for tablet devices will eat into personal computer sales. PC shipments this year will rise 14.3% to 352 million units, Gartner said, according to Reuters. Gartner forecast that shipments will increase by 15.9% in 2011.
Apple's iPhone operating system software stumbled in the third quarter, losing year-over-year quarterly market share for the first time, as Google's Android mobile operating system pulled further ahead, according to a Gartner Research report released Wednesday.
Shipments of personal computers missed forecasts in the third quarter, increasing by 7.6% rather than the 12.7% industry analysts had expected to see.
Microsoft may need to drop the price of its Windows 7-based smartphones or develop a cheaper version of the handset in order to gain market share in the rapidly growing Android-platform market.
How can you tell that smartphones aren't just for tech geeks and corporate types tethered to their email anymore? When Oprah Winfrey gives Motorola Defys to her whole studio audience, and Wal-Mart says it's launching its own mobile service, you have to say the devices have gone mainstream.
Google's Android mobile operating system continues to make major inroads in the cell phone market, and will shoot from a mere 3.9% global market share in 2009 to an estimated 17.7% this year, ahead of RIMM and Apple, according to a new report from research firm Gartner.
After lowering its PC sales forecast for the second half of 2010 on Tuesday, research firm Gartner today raised its forecast for semiconductor revenue.
With all the gloom in the global economy, I got to wondering whether there is anything else going on in the world of business. I'm looking for growth...
Gartner, Inc. just came out with a study showing that 90% of business ventures into virtual worlds -- such as Second Life --fail with in 18 months....

How To Sell Your Stuff on Craigslist Through Photos
Home Hacks
For the amount of times we've cursed bad photography on Craigslist, we've equally been the perpetrator of said photos. Sometimes it's hard to put in the time and effort to snap great shots of your junk, but in our experience the time you invest in photos pays off with a quick sale. We got together a few brains from the Apartment Therapy collective to come up with a comprehensive list of tips on how to sell your junk through beautiful photographs.
While we concentrate on Craigslist in this post, the following tips are helpful whatever site you may be using to sell your wares, be it Craigslist, eBay, or Etsy.
What You Need
A decent camera -- no phonecams unless yours has a stellar shooter built in.
A tripod, or something that can stand in as one -- a stack of book or a wine glass.
1. Clean what you're selling so it looks its best. No one's going to want your coffee table if it has dark mug circles and caked in granola all over it.
2. Pull your pièce de résistance away from nearby furniture, or pull the nearby furniture away. "I want to see the desk," our very own Taryn Fiol told us. "Not your file cabinets or TV stand." That said, Taryn suggests that when selling furniture, include one snapshot that features a common item, such as a newspaper or magazine, in the photo so people can better imagine your item's size.
3. This may seem obvious, but clean up around the house. No one will want to come over to see what you're offering if your place looks like frat house post pledge week.
4. The folks at AT DC suggest not using product shots ripped straight from the company's website, "We want to make sure it hasn't been painted or scratched."
5. Use some sort of solid color backdrop. If your items are on the dark side, use a white table against a white wall as your backdrop. If your items are on the light side and are washing out with the white backdrop, find a clean, solid color bed sheet to rig up as your stage.
6. Natural light is best. Even if you have to take it outside. If you can't shoot outdoors, shoot indoors during the day so there's some light. Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan of The Kitchn suggests that, "in lieu of a flash, steady the camera with flash turned off on a tripod (or a pile of books, wine glass, etc). Flash is a last resort."
7. Photograph the items from several different angles. Craigslist allows you to add four photos, so use up all your slots. We suggest full product shots and side shots, plus a close up of notable areas, and one that helps with size comparison if applicable. Shoot from the product's level and avoid aerial shots, which can be hard to figure out if you're an outsider.
8. Don't forget to shoot your backside (no, not that one!) "I was shopping for a couch on Craigslist but needed to know what the back looked like because it was going to face my entryway," Taryn informed us. Just because you had your furniture set up a certain way, doesn't mean that others will do the same.
9. AT DC contributor, Colleen Quinn, suggests, "if there is a scratch or imperfection, try to get a good picture of that flaw." We suggest using the macro or flower setting on your digicam for clear and detailed close-ups.
10. Open it up. If you're trying to sell something with doors or drawers, or a piece of technology like a printer or scanner, open it up and show detailed shots within. Illustrate that your scanner glass top is in peak condition or that your console has super DVD storage.

Apart from poorly taken photographs, I find Craigslist limiting in the size of the pictures that they allow you to post in the listing. After having spent the time to take great photos, there is a workaround to get higher resolution pictures into your craigslist listing. You would need to host your pictures on Flickr first and then copy the picture's URL and paste it into the listing.
This is a listing that I did for my wife. I used the medium setting, but you could use any setting offered.
Here is the posting - http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/bra/art/1605163751.html
Also, do some post processing in Photoshop, lightroom, picasa, etc. Don't do anything "tricky" but clean up the images and correct color cast.
Taking a photo of your couch then pulling up the shadows and fix the saturation/hue of the couch to its true life color makes all the difference in the world.
Clean your nasty house!!! This cant be said enough, I do not want your couch if I knew it came from your garbage ridden cave-like living room.
You forgot to add: "Then wait for the spam emails if your item is listed above $100, the spam emails promising work-at-home wealth, the flaky attempted transactions, and the RIDICULOUS "offers" of pennies on the dollar."
Craigslist, goodtimes.
Any number of high resolution photos may be posted in a CL ad as long as they are hosted on another website and the proper HTML code is put in the ad text. I use Flickr to host my photos. Here is how I do it: once you have your photo up, click on the link "all sizes" and then scroll down to find the html code to insert into a webpage, or in this case, your CL ad text. This will produce much better looking, larger images in your ad.
Can anyone tell me the manufacturer of those shell chairs?

We offer two ways to locate information:
St. Francis' Reserve Chardonnay is produced primarly from our estate vineyard which is located in the heart of the Sonoma Valley. While our estate vineyard provides the structure and the backbone of the wine, the addition of grapes from nearby vineyards provide the tropical fruit notes and acidity for balance. We harvest at full ripeness to ensure intensity and concentration of flavors. The wine is then fermented in new French oak barrels with a 100% malolactic treatment. The wine is aged for 9 months, with an occasional stirring of the lees. After the aging process, only the best barrels are selected for our final Reserve blend.
St. Francis Reserve Chardonnay shows a penetrating aromatic bouquet of ripe tropical and exotic fruits marked by a fragance of new oak and vanilla. On the palate the fruit flavors are fully concentrated with a buttery mouthfilling texture supported by balanced acidity and firm structure.
St. Francis Vineyards & Winery, located in the heart of Sonoma County, produces big, bold, full-bodied wines that over deliver on flavor. Each wine is made from 100% hand-picked, Sonoma County fruit and are direct expressions of winemaker Tom Mackey, whose philosophy calls for "maximum extraction, minimal interaction."
St. Francis achieves critical acclaim from the wine media who refers to it as The House of Big Reds. Among its many accolades, St. Francis was recently named International Red Wine Maker of The Year by the London International Wine Challenge.
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied.

Mayor Fischer thanks the entire community for the incredible response to the Give A Day week of service, April 14-22:"I've never been more proud of Louisville than in the wake of our first annual "Give A Day" week of service. What a tremendous outpouring of joy and compassion!
The achievements were many and varied. We saw elementary-age students serving as "big buddies" to homeless preschoolers at the Wayside Christian Mission. We saw a record number of volunteers (more than 9,000) join with Brightside to clean up the city. Others helped haul debris from streambeds and rid our city parks of invasive plants. In a single day, volunteers sorted 5,000 pounds of shoes at Edge Outreach –an organization that provides clean drinking water around the world. And in the Shawnee neighborhood, we saw the joy in a woman's face when she became the proud owner of a formerly boarded-up home renovated by volunteers with the Fuller Center for Housing. Many gave blood, donated food and provided new books to make sure younger students have good reading material this summer. JCPS had over 100 schools participate in Give A Day.
The numbers are still pouring in, but it's clear we've sailed past our goal of 55,000 volunteers and acts of compassion. With that, and a little mayoral latitude, I proclaim Louisville to be the most compassionate city in the world! In fact, on April 4 the Compassion Action Network recognized our city with the International Compassionate City Award.
I am proud, but not surprised. Louisville is a community with a big heart. Give A Day is all about connecting and growing the compassion that already exists within all of us. It reminds us that there are unlimited ways to show caring for those around us and we are just one part of a bigger picture.
I want to thank the entire community for the collective caring and compassion, for making a real difference, not only during Give A Day week, but every week. Although I thanked volunteers at many project sites, it's not possible for me to thank every individual, company or organization personally. But know that we have documented almost everything that was done during Give A Day week and it is truly appreciated.
I want to offer a special "thank you" to our partners at Metro United Way. They matched thousands of volunteers with organizations and projects needing help through www.mygiveaday.com. Metro United Way offers this service 365 days a year through their Volunteer Connection.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this first Give A Day week was the excitement people expressed about participating again next year, increasing their involvement or having the opportunity to participate for the first time if they weren't able to this year. We all know that there is plenty of work still to be done.
So, I'm excited to announce that next year's Give A Day week of service will be April 13-21 – the week leading up to the 2013 Thunder Over Louisville and the Kentucky Derby Festival.
What can be better than helping launch one of the world's great festivals--by demonstrating that Louisville is truly the most caring and compassionate city in the world and setting a new world record in the process!
Thanks again and please make plans now to join us for Give A Day 2013!"

SPOKANE--The organizations that help feed the hungry, like Second Harvest and the Salvation Army, say more people are using their services every year and, once again, they expect the need is as high as it's ever been this holiday season.
Spokane's Salvation Army Captain Kyle Smith says in a year's time, the fight against hunger has gotten harder. "We used to serve about a 1,000 families a month with food. Now it's up to 1,600 families a month. So we've seen a big increase over the last 12 months," says Smith.
Last month, 18,000 people relied on food banks in Spokane County. That's up 15% from earlier in the year according to Second Harvest's Chief Resource Officer Rod Wieber.
