Wolfram Research cofounder and Mathematica front-end developer
Theodore Gray gave a live demonstration of some of the product's capabilities,
describing it as a fully native, no-compromise version of Mathematica for
the Mac OS X platform. Since its release last fall, Mathematica for
Mac OS X
has received an overwhelmingly positive response from both users and the
media. "Combine the power of OS X with the power of Mathematica
and you have a combination that cannot be beat....'I'm inspired by
Mathematica, and I don't inspire easily,'" said a recent MacNETv2 review.
"Everything looks better in OS X," quipped Gray on Monday as he began by
showing off Mathematica's remarkable typographical capabilities with an
integral demonstration. He then proceeded to show several animations,
developed by Michael Trott, that
he had rendered in the last week, running them in the background on his
PowerBook while doing his regular work. "There's no way I'd have tried
this on any other OS," Gray said in a testament to the incredible memory
management and stability of the Mac OS X platform, "as these animations
need to run for days without failing."
A side-by-side comparison of animations--one generated on a conventional
graphics system, the other on Mac OS X--demonstrated the "world-class
anti-aliasing" and quality of the Quartz rendering engine used by Mac OS
X. The Mac OS X animation was much smoother. The Quartz rendering technology
will be available in future versions of Mathematica for Mac OS X.
"Mathematica is to the world of technical computing what the word
processor is
to the world of writing," said Gray. It doesn't tell you what
to think today--it is an open box, an invitation to explore, just like the
Macintosh. "And we've been waiting a long time for an operating system
like OS X to really let Mathematica shine," he concluded.
The Macworld web rebroadcast
can be downloaded. You can also
find previous press releases about Mathematica for Mac OS X on the
Research and Apple web sites.

The Escapist (typeset as the escapist) is an online magazine covering video games, gamers, the gaming industry, and gaming culture. Published by Alexander Macris since its inception,[2] it was edited by Julianne Greer up to June 30, 2009,[3] then by Russ Pitts through September 2011,[4] then by Steve Butts until September 4, 2012,[5] and is currently edited by Greg Tito.[6] The Escapist was first published on July 12, 2005.[7] The Escapist originally ran weekly with a main edition published on Tuesday but it is now updated continuously.[8] On the 15th November 2012 it was announced that the Escapist had been acquired by online media company Alloy Digital from its corporate owner, Themis Media, for an undisclosed sum.[9] In 2014, Alloy Digital merged with Break Media to form Defy Media, the website's present owner.[10]
The premier issue featured pieces from well-known gaming-community authors including Jerry Holkins (a.k.a. Tycho Brahe), Kieron Gillen, and John Tynes. Following issues included work by Tom Chick, Allen Varney, Jim Rossignol and other top writers from in and outside the game industry, including a four-part piece by leading game designer Warren Spector.[11] The editor, Julianne Greer had not been involved in the gaming industry before The Escapist, and had a background in marketing and new media.[9] According to Themis, by late 2006 the website had 150,000 monthly readers.[9] The website MMORPG.com noted that the webzine had become the "flagship brand" for Themis, which runs other websites and ventures related to the gaming industry, with the reputation of "a widely read and highly respected form of game journalism" and "paying writers top dollar".[11]
On July 9, 2007 the site relaunched with a completely new design, which also saw the end of the weekly PDF issues and a shift in layout to one more similar to other websites.[12] Although the weekly topic and publish schedule was retained, new regular content additions included more game reviews, editorial articles, conference coverage, and a relaunch of Shoot Club by Tom Chick. The only notable new feature added was Zero Punctuation, weekly animated video reviews that led to a four-fold increase in the Escapist's traffic.[13] In addition to news articles and videos, the Escapist also hosts an active forum community and usergroups, most notably the Brovengers and Injustice League, along with a paid membership introduced in 2010 known as the Publisher's Club which for $20 a year removes advertisements from the site, confers forum benefits and entry into special contests.[14]
Hosted content[edit]
The Escapist hosts a number of ongoing video series and webcomics, most of which pertain to video games, although they have expanded to other aspects of geek culture. On February 1, 2013, another Alloy Digital property, Smosh Games, was added to the site, whose videos are also posted on YouTube.

March Mayhem: Developer's Showdown[edit]
March Mayhem: Developer's Showdown (commonly referred to as March Mayhem or simply MM) is an annual event hosted by The Escapist to determine the most popular video game developer in the industry. The event was first introduced in 2008 and takes the form of a series of opinion polls, split into four divisions (North, South, East and West) each consisting of 16 developers. In each round, developers are eliminated down to two, who then compete in the grand final.
The event was criticised by many site members due to the site's policy of allowing developers to advertise on their own websites and games in order to gain votes. Further criticism ensued in 2010 when Zynga was permitted to enter the competition despite multiple controversies surrounding the business practices of the company and debates whether Facebook applications could be considered games.[citation needed] There was also significant controversy over the 2011 result, considering winner Mojang hadn't officially released a game as of March 2011.[citation needed] As a result of this criticism and a generally negative opinion of the contest by Escapist users, March Mayhem did not take place in 2013, but was then revived in 2014 in much the same format, albeit with greater community input in the initial 16 developers chosen.

Dispute with James Portnow and Daniel Floyd[edit]
Around the end of July 2011, there was a dispute between The Escapist and the team that provided content for the show Extra Credits. After not being paid for months, the Extra Credits team needed to pay for surgery for their artist, Allison Theus. They began a charity fund, separate from The Escapist, and received more than enough money. They planned to create a game publishing label with the money, where the revenue would go directly into funding subsequent projects.[15] The Escapist stated the money should have been used to create more episodes of Extra Credits for The Escapist and to compensate Themis Media for donation incentives, such as premium memberships and T-shirts.[16] As a result, Extra Credits broke ties with The Escapist, and the show has since aired on Penny Arcade, ScrewAttack[17] and has its own channel on YouTube.
In May 2008, The Escapist won the Webby Award and 2008 People's Choice Award for Best Video-Game Related Website. The Escapist also won this award in 2009 after a protracted voting battle between the members of The Escapist and the website GameSpot. In 2011 The Escapist again won three Webby Awards: Best Games-Related Website, People's Voice Best Games-Related Website and People's Voice Best Lifestyle Website.[18][19][20][21] The Escapist also received a Mashable Open Web Award for Best Online Magazine in 2009[22] and was named one of the 50 Best Websites by Time Magazine in 2011.[23]

As I sit here making out my Christmas list, I'm trying to remember what I gave for gifts and what I received for gifts last year. I fear that I may repeat the same gifts to a family member, so I call everyone to see what they need.
I love to e-Bay and I was a garage sale junkie for a couple years.
I would see brand new items in boxes marked down to almost nothing. There were crock-pots, dinnerware, and many more novelties.
When I would inquire about the item, most of the sellers just told me it was a gift they received for Christmas and they already own.
Now first of all I would never buy an item at a garage sale for a Christmas gift, but I would resell the item on e-Bay. I wonder how many people would bid on that item and give it as a Christmas gift? So because I feel funny about re-gifting, the gift will go into the garage and in a couple of years when I'm Spring cleaning I'll be surprised to find it and I will enjoy using it.
Usually, I do a handmade item so I know they can't re-gift my gift. I doubt I would find someone giving me socks I made.
Homemade cookies and crafts are something that are appreciated and used and everyone will enjoy.
I do think that if you receive a double gift or something you will never use, donate it to your local Christian thrift store or give it to a charity if you're not sure what to do.
What is the correct etiquette for re-gifting?
I have too much guilt to re-gift, but is it ethical?
I say yes depending on the circumstance.
If you receive two of the same item and you know a friend or family member would love it, give it too them unwrapped and explain you got a double gift.
Here are some rules on re-gifting:
1. You are certain the gift is something the recipient would enjoy.
2. The gift is brand new (no cast-offs allowed) and comes with its original box and instructions.
3. The gift isn't handmade, or one that the original giver took great cares to select.
This should be done rarely and under certain criteria.
I try to love everything I'm given and I appreciate the time and love that's put into the item.
I've heard some funny stories about people that received their item back for a birthday or anniversary gift that was given to them as a Christmas gift.
How do you react when this happens?
What do you say?
"Wow it's just what I wanted," "It's beautiful, I would of picked out the same thing," or 'How thoughtful of you?"
As you drive away, you are wonder if it's the same gift you gave them. You have to be sure you won't hurt anyone's feelings.
Now my feelings won't be hurt, but beware you could receive this gift back again.
This probably won't happen, but as we get older we should be taking notes.
Now what should we do with all those fruitcakes? That's a tough one, but maybe you can put them out for New Year's Day along with the black-eyed peas.
If you receive any Lenox China pieces or Precious Moments that you have no idea what to with, please e-mail me and I will help you with directions to my house.

Brent Bozell on Fox: Press Corps Should Be 'Perturbed,' Not Chuckle at, Christi Parsons's Fan Girl Act
- 2906 views

Chicago Tribune reporter Christi Parson's fawning fan girl act at Wednesday's press conference was bad enough, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told Sean Hannity, but even worse was the reaction of the rest of the press corps in the room.
"This is the blue chip ensemble of journalists in America," the Media Research Center founder noted, and yet, "no one, but nobody seemed the least bit perturbed that she and [President Obama] are playing kissy-face in a press conference. Nobody was at all surprised by that. What does that tell you about our press corps?" Bozell asked.

Andy Marquis, CALLAWAY, VA :: Franklin County Speedway invites Danica Patrick and Richard Petty to a one-on-one race. The invitation comes after Richard Petty accepted Tony Stewart's invitation for the seven-time champion to race sophomore NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Danica Patrick to a one-on-one race.
The challenge from Stewart and acceptance from Petty came after Petty vocally criticized Danica Patrick's driving skills, saying the only way the first and only female driver to qualify for a pole in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series history could win a race is "if everybody else stayed home".
Franklin County Speedway offers a neutral site for the competitors as neither driver has raced at the 3/8-mile track in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Franklin County Speedway is a fast and tough track to race on that presents challenges for both drivers. The one-on-one race can be held any day at any time of Petty and Patrick's choosing.
Franklin County Speedway track promoter Langley Austin will rent out racecars for the two drivers or Tony Stewart can bring his cars for them to race.
"Humpy Wheeler's not around to offer them a place to race so I'll be happy to step in and fill his shoes," Austin said. "We'll rent out cars for them to race on or Tony Stewart can supply the cars for Danica and The King. This is a challenging track but it's also a neutral site for both racers as neither driver has raced here before."
The race could easily be held on the night of Friday, March 28th or Saturday, March 29th as those dates fall on the same weekend as the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway. Franklin County Speedway is located only 44 miles away from Martinsville Speedway.

You never know what you'll find at Buddy's Small Lots. It might be a rechargeable kids' go-kart, or a portable, pop-up beach canopy to keep the sun from staring at you in your swimsuit. Or it might be a Sunbeam stand mixer, the latest as-seen-on-TV invention, or a wood patio table. In any case, what it will be is steeply discounted. With a rapidly changing inventory of brand-new items, Buddy's is just about impossible to sum up. Along with outfitting a home or dispatching holiday shopping in one swoop, customers can leave with the makings of a decent meal—the store also sells popular brands of milk, eggs, canned goods, and other grocery staples.
eToys.com makes it easy to find gifts for kids big and small. Search by age group to find name-brand items for babies. For older tykes, opt for action figures and video games, or get hearts pumping with trampolines, bikes, and outdoor play sets.

With more than 100 showrooms and clearance centers across the country, Cort offers a cornucopia of repurposed furniture for living rooms, bedrooms, and offices. When merchandise arrives at Cort it is cleaned, reconditioned, and repaired if necessary before being labeled with a letter grade of A–D so prospective buyers can accurately determine each item's value and condition. Stylize sleeping quarters with an Accolade chest ($589.99) or schedule games of Jenga inside a Citrine living-room set ($439.99).
Locals may have noticed that Lazzoni has grown into a family of 20-plus stores, but the company's roots actually reach back more than 50 years and thousands of miles away. The first store was in Turkey, where they produced joinery pieces for windows and doors. They eventually got into the business of modular kitchen design, which evolved into the production of made-from-scratch and exclusive furniture for every room of the home.
Today, the brand has settled into a decidedly modern style. With a team of international designers from Turkey, Italy, and the United States, Lazzoni showcases original furniture made from Italian leathers, Austrian hardware, and Turkish textiles. The collection is marked by streamlined silhouettes, bold colors, and other contemporary touches: Andel armchairs shaped from clear polycarbonate get a pop of color from a seat cushion in one of 10 hues, and the simplistic Florence bed can be dressed in an elegant textile to match your favorite tuxedo pajamas.
Clients unsure of where to start with Lazzoni's extensive inventory can request personal design services. Designers use blueprints or measurements from an in-home consultation to create a computerized 3D rendering in which homeowners can preview different pieces of furniture. The Lazzoni team also does staging for customers looking to sell their home or those who have recently kicked a furniture allergy.
Though he doesn't wear an actual crown, Bruce Wiener has earned the title of Bed King thanks to his family's long-standing business and his in-depth knowledge of what makes a high-quality mattress. Still, he rules with a fair hand. At his store, he and his staff share the three things customers need to know when buying a mattress: how it feels, how it's built inside, and what their budget is. They advise customers to test out each mattress by lounging on it for 15 minutes, examining its comfort, support structure, and willingness to share bedtime stories. They also arm customers with know-how on the latest technologies, demystifying industry jargon by explaining, for example, that coil systems impart equal weight distribution over the surface of the bed.
Robert Parsly, a lighting designer with more than 25 years of experience, leads a knowledgeable staff at Lightwaves NJ, whose inventory is packed with lighting and home products for every room of the house. To help clients get an accurate picture of how each sconce and chandelier will look, Lightwaves fills its show room with creative displays of both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Micro Machines by Camerica had to have been one of the BEST NES racers alongside Nintendo's R.C. Pro Am. In this 1990s clip, I was flicking through cable channels and ran into this ! Camerica gave Home Shopping Club ( now HSN ) exclusive rights to sell copies of their NES game Micro Machines before it hit the store shelves ! Camerica even sealed the deal by bringing on the 1990s Nintendo World Champion Thor Aackerlund to endorse and demonstrate the Micro Machines game.

A committee of the Florida Senate has approved a revision of
state laws regulating homeowners' insurance policies.
The package promises lower taxes as a result of the changes,
but likely means higher rates and reduced coverage now,
according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Insurance bills mean consumers pay more for less coverage).
"As property insurance lobbyists celebrated with
handshakes and back-slaps, the Republican-controlled
Legislature pushed forward Tuesday with legislation intended to
help Florida's struggling carriers, while offering consumers
higher rates, reduced hurricane coverage, limited rights to
challenge carriers and the public burden of paying for sinkhole
damage," the paper reported.
Among the changes in the bill: a change in the name of
Florida's state-backed insurer of last resort from
"Citizens Property Insurance" to
"Taxpayer Funded Property Insurance"
— a change that Senator J. D. Alexander, Republican
from Lake Wales, put forward because, he said,
"Lawmakers need to have some fun," according
to the Orlando Sun Sentinel
Sweeping property insurance package headed to full
Senate," by Julie Patel).
In the event that Citizens could not afford to pay claims
after a major hurricane, deficits would be made up either by
borrowing on the bond market or by state-imposed fees applied
to commercial market-rate insurance policies.
"Citizens officials have warned their premiums aren't
high enough to cover all their payouts in the case of a huge
hurricane or series of storms," reports the Bradenton
Property insurance reform bill passes final Senate committee
with name change for Citizens by Janet Zink).
"That means all insurance policy holders, including
those that aren't in Citizens, would have to pick up the
The bill also lets private insurers off the hook from a
requirement to offer coverage for sinkholes, a significant risk
for some Florida homes. Instead, however, Citizens (now to be
known as "Taxpayer Funded") will have to
offer sinkhole coverage, reports the Miami Herald
Property insurance reform bill gains steam," by
Janet Zink).
Meanwhile, rates are immediately going to rise for some
Florida policyholders, reports the Miami Herald
Florida approves 18 percent rate hike for State
Farm," by Jeff Harrington). "The higher
rates, which are less than the 28 percent boost State Farm
sought, will take effect July 1 for new business and beginning
July 15 for renewals. Separately, Insurance Commissioner Kevin
McCarty approved a 62 percent increase for State
Farm's commercial residential policies, which cover
homes that are owned by a person or business entity and rented
to others."
Floridians already pay some of the highest property
insurance rates in the nation, reports the Sarasota
Herald-Tribune ("
Insurance rates weigh heavily on homeowners, "In
Monroe County, Florida regulators have approved private
insurance rates as high as $13,000 a year on a $150,000 house
-- more than a standard mortgage. Premiums elsewhere on the
coast, including in Sarasota County, have doubled and tripled
in the last five years."

I do not really mind Fennec, but paired as a first name with Zachary has a lot of hard C sound and it seems like their may be potential to improve the flow.
Zachary I do not mind but I prefer Zachariah. That is very unusual, and I have unusual taste as well.
Do you like the name Phoenix? Or Ford, Forest, Forester, Foster, Fox, Franklin, Fitzpatrick*love this, or Fitzwilliam? My Z faves are Zephyr, Zander, Zavier, and Zephaniah.

Fennec Zachary is good on paper, but each name has a hard C making it difficult for me to fully like the combo.
Fennec Joseph was a nice combination, but doesn't appeal to me as much as Fennec Zachary.
As I was going through your list some names stood out to me:
Buckley Whit - I adore this combo. Something about it strikes me as a southern gentleman.
Kessler Dean - I love this combo as well. Sounds like a sleek, suave guy with all the right intentions and the worst of luck.
Graham Larsen - sounds a lot like "grand larceny" which is not something to be associated with.
Oliver Cole - sounds a bit like Urkel as in Steve Urkel from Family Mattersjust a confused teenberry.

Dear sirs, I've been waiting for nearly a week to have my entry posted.
I do realize that there are entries being posted everyday and small cool 2013 seems to be a huge sucess, but how about extending the whole voting period?
This might seem unimportant, but I did put quite some effort into organizing the house, getting it accessorized, taking pictures etc etc.
This is the first time in four years that I've actually managed to get my act together and submit my house for the contest and I can't express how disapointed it would make me to see the entry going up for only a few days.
Please do consider this genuine request as I know other people are in the same situation.

THIS IS NOT A POSTER. This piece of artwork is nearly an exact replica of the original. Meticulously reproduced on canvas this collectible art work makes a bold statement. The remarkable intensity of color and texture is achieved with the Giclee・ process, beautifully capturing the lines and letter of this map.

Giclee・ (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee・ printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original artwork. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee・ by galleries, museums, and private collectors.

200th Blog!
December 21, 2011 - Jennifer Brookens
In the tradition of celebrating meaningless milestones, this is my 200th blog entry since the Sentinel reporters began keeping blogs on this Web site. (Yay, me! I guess.)
Thinking of ways to celebrate this, I considered the 200 different cookies, candies, and cakes that were brought in for the Christmas potluck. But then I remember 200 is also a number on my bathroom scale - EEK!
I could go on a vacation 200 miles away, but it won't get me to the warm weather I crave (though I shouldn't complain after the past three winters we've had).
In tradition of most of my blogs, I could make 200 wisecracks. Or consider shedding 200 tears for the sentimental ones. It'd also be nice to get a $200 bonus for this feat... Whadd'ya think, guys, hint, hint, eh? ... No? Fine then.
But I guess the best representation would be the 200 hours approximate that I've put into this blog. Unless I happen to be struck with creativity or just find something amusing, it usually takes some time - about an hour - to formulate these little nuggets of joy or observation I write on here.
And for those of you who've made it this far, and have even come back for more, thank you! Hopefully I'll have some more fun stories and interesting insights to share in 2012! Enjoy your Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Winter Solstice/New Year!

By Todd Cunningham
"Warm Bodies," a teen romantic comedy that gives The Bard a zombie twist, is easily outperforming Sylvester Stallone's "Bullet to the Head' on its way to a runaway win at the weekend box office.
Find: Real-life zombie
Loosely based on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Summit Entertainment's "Warm Bodies" will take in $20 million in its first three days. That topped action-fantasy mash-up "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters," last week's No. 1 movie, which will wind up in second place with $9.2 million. And it crushed the disappointing "Bullet to the Head," which debuted to just $4.5 million and finished in sixth place for Warner Bros.
Jonathan Levine ("50-50") adapted the "Warm Bodies" screenplay from Isaac Marion's 2010 young adult novel of the same name and directed the film. The story follows the zombie lad R (Nicholas Hoult) who saves Julie (Teresa Palmer) from an attack by other zombies. When their relationship takes off, it threatens to transform the lifeless world. Rob Corddry, John Malkovich and Dave Franco co-star.
More from TheWrap: Johnny Depp to Star as Whitey Bulger for Barry Levinson in 'Black Mass'
Marketing "Warm Bodies" to young audiences would appear to be in the sweet spot for Summit and its parent company Lionsgate, which had great success with movies based on young adult novels like the "Twilight" series and "Hunger Games."
But getting the word out on the "zom-rom-com" was tricky, Lionsgate's executive vice-president and general sales manager David Spitz told TheWrap Sunday, because there weren't any comparable films upon which to base a marketing strategy.
"It was clear we had a unique property with this picture," he said. "We thought about It and made a conscious decision to focus on the romantic and comedy aspects of this film, and our marketing team did a terrific job."
"Warm Bodies" received a "B+" CinemaScore from audiences, which were 65 percent under 25 years of age and 60 percent female. Its PG-rating helped in marketplace filled with R-rated offerings; 37 percent of the audience was under 18.
Spitz said it was too early to know if there would be a sequel to "Warm Bodies," which had a roughly $35 million production budget.
Meanwhile, Best Picture Oscar nominee "Silver Linings Playbook" keeps rolling. The overall domestic total for David O. Russell's gritty comedy is at $80.3 million after it took in another $8.1 million over the weekend. The Weinstein Company had added another 168 theaters to raise the screen count to 2,809 for its 12th weekend, and was off just 14 percent from last week.
Universal's Guillermo del Toro-produced horror thriller "Mama" was next with $6.7 million, and it has made $58.2 million in three weeks. Sony's Best Picture Oscar nominee "Zero Dark Thirty" followed at $5.3. The overall domestic total for Kathryn Bigelow's tale of the hunt for Osama bin Laden is $77.7 million after eight weeks.
Given the Super Bowl, "Bullet to the Head" is facing a tough Sunday since the older males it targets are sure to be preoccupied with the big game. The R-rated action film, produced for about $40 million, never got out of the blocks, with soft Friday and Saturday showings.
The audiences skewed 60 percent male and older, with a whopping 81 percent over 25 years of age. They gave it a "B-" CinemaScore.
"Bullet to the Head" failed to match the $7 million debut of Arnold Schwarzenegger's "The Last Stand" earlier this month. The two aging action stars will be teamed in "The Tomb," which will be released in September by Summit Entertainment.
In seventh place was Film District's "Parker." The Jason Statham-Jennifer Lopez action film posted a $3.2 million second week.
Three more Best Picture Oscar nominees filled out the top 10.
The Weinstein Company dropped "Django Unchained" from 230 theaters to 1,777 locations and still took in $3 million, giving a domestic total of $150.9 million after seven weeks.
Universal's "Les Miserables" dropped 362 theaters to 1,848, added $2.4 million and is at $141.5 million after six weeks.
"Lincoln" dropped 153 theaters to 1,756 and also took in $2.4 million, giving it a 13-week domestic total of $170.8 million.
Overall, the weekend is running about 15 percent behind Super Bowl weekend
last year, when the sci-fi fantasy "Chronicle" opened to $22 million and the
Daniel Radcliffe horror film "Woman in Black" debuted to nearly $21
The best opening ever on a Super Bowl weekend came in 2008, when "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour" debuted to $31 million.

In any case I'm sure "Bullet to the Head" is doing better than "The Good Hours", which I had the unfortunate experience to watch.

Turkish riot police fire water cannon on Istanbul protesters
Thousands gather in Istanbul's Taksim Square; Erdogan says protesters not respecting Islam
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan told thousands of supporters in the Black Sea city of Samsun on Saturday that weeks of often violent protests against his government had played into the hands of Turkey's enemies.
As he finished speaking, around 10,000 protesters had gathered in Istanbul's Taksim Square, many of them to attend a planned laying down of carnations in memory of the four people who had been killed in the unrest.
Turkish riot police fired water cannon to clear the protesters from the square, as the crowd chanted "this is just the start; the struggle will continue".
The crowd quickly scattered, and water cannon trucks parked at several entry points to Taksim to prevent people from regrouping.
People living around the square banged pots and pans, a sign of solidarity with protesters throughout more than three weeks of unrest in Istanbul and other cities across Turkey. Demonstrators shouted "Police, don't betray your people!".
'Who won?'
In Samsun, a crowd of some 15,000 of Erdogan's AK Party faithful cheered and waved Turkish flags as he called on the public to give their answer to protests at the ballot box when Turkey holds municipal elections next March.
The rally in the party stronghold was the fourth in a series of mass meetings which Erdogan has called since demonstrations began in Istanbul at the start of June in an unprecedented challenge on the streets to his rule.
The blunt-talking 59-year-old said opponents both within Turkey and abroad had orchestrated the demonstrations, saying an "interest rate lobby" of speculators in financial markets had benefited from the unrest.
"Who won from these three weeks of protests? The interest rate lobby, Turkey's enemies," Erdogan said from a stage emblazoned with his portrait and a slogan calling for his supporters to "thwart the big game" played out against Turkey.
"Who lost from these protests? Turkey's economy, even if to a small extent, tourism lost. They overshadowed and stained Turkey's image and international power," he said.
In a speech appealing to his conservative grassroots support, Erdogan made fresh accusations that those involved in the protests in Turkey's main western cities were disrespectful towards Islam, the religion of the vast majority of Turkey.
"Let them go into mosques in their shoes, let them drink alcohol in our mosques, let them raise their hand to our headscarved girls. One prayer from our people is enough to frustrate their plans," Erdogan said, before tossing red carnations to the crowd after his speech.
Turkish society polarized?
The protests have underlined divisions in Turkish society between religious conservatives who form the bedrock of Erdogan's support, and more liberal Turks who have swelled the ranks of peaceful demonstrators.
Erdogan, who won his third consecutive election in 2011 with 50 percent support, has been riled by the open show of dissent, and sees himself as a champion of democratic reform.
During his 10-year rule, which has seen him unchallenged on the political stage, he has enacted reforms that include curbing powers of an army that toppled four governments in four decades and pursuing an end to 30 years of Kurdish rebellion.
But he brooks little dissent. Hundreds of military officers have been jailed on charges of plotting a coup against Erdogan.
A court near Istanbul said on Friday it will announce on August 5 its verdict on nearly 300 defendants, including academics, journalists and politicians, accused of separate plots to overthrow the government.
But among the large section of Turkey's 76 million people who do not back him, Erdogan is viewed as increasingly authoritarian and too quick to meddle in their private lives.
Recent restrictions on the sale of alcohol have fueled their suspicions that he has a creeping Islamist agenda.
That resentment spilled into open protest when police cracked down on a group of environmentalists opposed to his plans to develop a central Istanbul park in late May, spreading to other cities and turning violent night after night.
Sporadic clashes have continued in some cities this week, but Istanbul has been calm as many people adopted a silent show of defiance inspired by the so-called "Standing Man" protester.
On Sunday, Erdogan will address a rally in the eastern city of Erzurum, also an AK Party stronghold.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – A Louisville native and Iraq war veteran scored a new home remodel thanks to an act of kindness.
Michael Hayes was seriously injured in an IED explosion in 2006 losing his left leg and sustaining burns to 40 percent of his body.
Hayes mother reached out to the Active Heroes organization to see if they could help Hayes acquire to keep his dogs from jumping out of the yard.
When they organization heard his story, they wanted to take it a step further and give Hayes a remodel worth $15,000.
"We weren't able to just do a fence. I mean we're talking a whole lot here including building an entire wheelchair ramp leading into the back of the house," Active Heroes Charity representative Troy Yocum said. "We tore the entire kitchen and bathrooms apart in order to replace them completely."
Hayes said he is extremely grateful that complete strangers would come into his home and make his life easier.

The post-Christmas challenge
How to teach children that less is more when well-meaning relatives overwhelm them with gifts.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
This year for Christmas, most of the items my wife and I received were small and/or served some specific utility in our lives. I received some grape juice with which to make homemade wine (pinot noir), a replacement for our small saucepan, and some books, among other things. My wife received similar small items.
Our kids? Here's the challenge with our children: My parents have traditionally gone way overboard on their grandchildren for birthdays and Christmas. On the other side of the family tree, our children are the first grandchildren of my mother- and father-in-law, and the first niece and nephews of my sisters-in-law.
They all want to give our children memorable Christmas presents -- and I understand that. Our challenge comes when we return home. Their toys, mostly gifts from events like birthdays and Christmas, already fill up multiple toy boxes.
There's a double challenge here.
The first is finding places to store these things. Our children are of three distinctly different ages and levels of cognitive development. Our oldest loves building LEGO sets and has a penchant for action figures. Our middle child loves building towers out of Magna-Tiles. Our youngest? He's pretty content with a few stuffed animals and baby toys.
As they grow, though, their interests change. Soon, our youngest will want to have his hand in the Magna-Tiles. And what if we have another child?
The second challenge is teaching our children that less is more from an early age, that there's great value in having a smaller number of toys that you play with extensively, that you don't really need a mountain of toys. A mountain of toys stands in direct contrast to this lesson.
For us, the second challenge is more important than the first. The idea of having more stuff than you can possibly ever play with seems heavily tied to rampant consumerism in adults, where they buy more stuff than they possibly have time for. When you're buying like that, you're begging for financial difficulties.
Here are some of the solutions we've come up with for dealing with these concerns:
We've started a "toy rotation." When the children are out of the house, we take a bunch of the toys at the bottom of the toy boxes and store them in a tub in the garage. Occasionally, we'll rotate some of them back into the mix, often pointing them out. "Remember that toy? You haven't played with that in a while."
If they miss a toy we've stored, we'll retrieve it for them. However, that hasn't happened yet.
We're going to have a yard sale in the spring. Not only will we sell almost everything in the garage tubs, we'll involve the children in selecting toys that they're willing to sell. Our goal is to save a small number of toys for each child -- the ones they enjoy the most -- and sell the rest.
- Bing: Yard sale tips
The money from the yard sale will go into a "family fun" pool that will pay for all of us to do something fun together (likely largely of the children's choosing). Our best idea so far is to go to a water park that's about two hours away.
In essence, we're trying to turn excess stuff around our home into a fun family experience. The idea, of course, is that experiences trump stuff.
We're going to donate the yard sale leftovers to Goodwill. That way, once it's decided that toys are going to go, they're out of the house for good.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Despite a quagmire of mistakes, the Seattle Seahawks escaped Lambeau Field with a win - defeating the Packers 17-10.
Both teams combined for 22 penalties in the game.
Quarterback Vince Young, vying for the backup spot to Aaron Rodgers, orchestrated an 11 play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard touchdown pass to fullback Jonathan Amosa.
With the game tied, Seahawks quarterback Brady Quinn sealed the win on a 42-yard touchdown pass with just under nine minutes to play.
Once again, the first-team offense was unable to find the endzone. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was 4-of-7 for 41 yards in passing, while rookie running back Eddie Lacy had 8 carries for negative 5 yards.
Packers will look to work out those offensive woes by Thursday, when the team travels to Arrowhead Stadium for the final preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
Infinity Pharmaceuticals
Another stock that's trading within range of a major breakout trade is biotechnology and drugs player Infinity Pharmaceuticals (INFI), which engages in the discovery and development of medicines for difficult-to-treat diseases. This stock is off to a strong start in 2012, with shares up over 40%.
If you take a look at the chart for Infinity Pharmaceuticals, you'll notice that this stock has been on a tear for the last four months after it broke out above $6.95 and then $10.18 a share. That first breakout over $6.95 came with huge volume and triggered a gap-fill in this stock back to $10.18 a share. Then the breakout over $10.18 came again with big volume and pushed the stock to a recent high of $13.75 a share. Since hitting that high, shares of Infinity Pharmaceuticals have pulled back below its 50-day moving average to a recent low of $11.76 a share. That said, on Thursday the stock recaptured its 50-dy and now looks poised to trend higher and trigger another breakout trade.
>>22 Biopharma Stocks With Breakout PotentialMarket players should now look for long-biased traders in INFI if it can manage to trigger a near-term breakout trade above some overhead resistance at $13.00 to $13.75 a share with high-volume. Look for a sustained move or close above that level on volume that registers close to or above its three-month average action of 216,341 shares. If we get that action soon, then INFI should trade up towards $15 to $20 a share in the near future. If you buy this stock off of weakness and anticipate that breakout, then I would simply use a stop just below its 50-day moving average of $12.44 a share. You can also play this off of strength and get long once it takes out $13 to $13.75 a share with strong volume, and simply use a stop just below $13 a share. Keep in mind that this stock is heavily shorted since 17.6% of its 16.20 million share float is sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 12.4%, or by about 229,500 shares. If INFI can trigger that breakout trade soon, then we could easily see a sizable short-squeeze develop once the stock hits a new 52-week high above $13.75 a share.

The news is full of the current debate about health insurance and whether or not the government should be more involved. While this is interesting discourse, the very nature of insurance is actually strange by itself.
With health insurance in general, you bet the company that you will get sick and pay them in advance for it. They, on the other hand, bet that you will stay well and hope to keep your money.
On the sidelines, the health care community roots for you. Where would medicos be if we all stayed well?
With life insurance, it is much the same. You buy a policy betting that you will die young from a company that is betting you will grow old. Your life insurance agent sends you a birthday card every year gloating that he was right and wishing you many more birthdays.
We actually want him to win the bet.
A regular homeowner's policy wagers that you will not have a major catastrophe at your house. You figure that you will have one. If you have flood insurance (only affordable if you live at a high, dry altitude) you are betting on a lot of rain.
The company writing your homeowners and flood insurance is praying for your safety and for fair weather. It is all so odd.
Now, there is car insurance. This is more of a sure thing. While you bet that you will have an accident and your insurance company bets you won't, the chances are high that you will mess up your auto even if you do not want to.
Even the law demands you have car insurance. The government also figures you are going to have an accident.
In the past few years, our family has beaten the system and not only gotten our money back on health insurance, but on homeowners insurance as well. This does not make us happy, although we are grateful.
There was a time in America when we had a wonderful system of true socialism and no insurance. If you got sick, your neighbors came by to help. If your house was destroyed, your friends and family helped rebuild it. If you died, the neighbors or a local orphanage took care of your children.
This was collectivism at its best. It was actually a pooling of concern and caring about one another. It was relying on the goodness and generosity of others.
It was called community.
Now we have an organization do it for us rather than running next door to help. We all pay into a pot — whether it's governmental or private — to help each of us out if something bad happens. It is basically the same system without the personal involvement.
I, for one, accept what we have today and look forward to another annual card from my life insurance agent. It is actually the only thing I want to get from him.

hi all, can you help me some steps or optimal setting to be implemented while migrating from2005 to 2008.. now we are using sql server 2005 but database compatability mode is in 2000. this time i want to change compatability from 80 to 100

Moving a database from SQL Server 2005 to 2008 is pretty painless. There were very few, if any, things deprecated. The one issue you will need to worry about is the use of the ANSI 89 style outer joins in TSQL, "*=" or "=*". Only ANSI 92 outer join syntax is supported in 2008, "LEFT JOIN" or "RIGHT JOIN".
Microsoft has a [SQL Server 2008 Upgrade Advisor][1] available. Run that on the 2005 system just like you would on a 2000 system. It'll inform you if there are any problems.
Other than that, the upgrade should go smoothly. I recommend doing what is called a side-by-side, as opposed to in-place, upgrade. This means you set up a new 2008 server and then move your databases to it using backup & restore. That way, if there is a problem during the upgrade process, the old server is waiting for immediate recovery. In place upgrades, if they go wrong, are much more difficult to recover from.[1]: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=F5A6C5E9-4CD9-4E42-A21C-7291E7F0F852&displaylang=en

+1 for side-by-side. We had an application owner who insisted it be done in-place... some corrupted install files and 16 hours later we were up and running :(

Oh, ouch! That would not have been fun. Especially sitting there with "Told you so, told you so, told you so..." running on a loop through your head while you try to recover.

@Grant I am happy to report that it was my vote just now which flipped you into 12k range, so congratulations!On the unrelated note, I finally was able to figure out the solution to that problem I am sure you noticed too when typing "=*" or "*=" but getting "=*" or "*=" as a result appearing in your answer. The solution is to use the backslash character to escape whatever the script honors as the special characters (such as ** to denote a beginning of the bold text and * to denote the beginning of italics.

Thanks, edited the post so it doesn't look quite so crazy any more.

As Grant Fritchey said side-by-side is the best choice, you can move the database by simple attach and detach method, or by Restoring the latest backup, or by Copy database method
follow this link for copy database method http://www.packtpub.com/article/copying-database-sql-2008-copy-database-wizard
I suggest you after performing upgrade copy the necessary objects like the maintenance task, jobs & alerts to the new SQL Server, and also don't forget to run the DBCC commands DBCC UPDATEUSAGE , DBCC CHECKDB(DBNAME) WITH DATA_PURITY, DBCC CHECKDB(DBNAME) WITH NO_INFOMSGS SP_UPDATESTATS for all database
