I'll be in line when it arrives.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is without a doubt the best Android phone on the market right now and the best Android phone that's ever been released. The camera could use a boost in quality, the low speaker volume is annoying and battery life isn't outstanding but the Galaxy Nexus combines a gorgeous screen with slick software and super fast performance. The best phone of 2011.
Perhaps the best feature of Ice Cream Sandwich is the on-screen keyboard: it's the best we've ever used on an Android phone, with accurate word correction and an excellent layout. If you're coming from an iPhone, you should have no problems adjusting to the Galaxy Nexus, as the keyboard is easily on par with iOS.
The Browser on the Galaxy Nexus is also superb. It's the fastest browser we've ever used on a smartphone (yes, even slightly faster than the iPhone 4S). It's smooth to scroll and zoom and although it doesn't support Flash right now (that is coming in a future update from Adobe) it loaded most pages without an issue. Our only complaint is that when using the on screen keyboard to type in text fields, such as posting on a forum, the keyboard loses its auto correction abilities.
We love most of the changes that Google has made to Ice Cream Sandwich, but Face Unlock isn't one of them. Its largely a gimmick feature in the first place, but we found it a hit and miss affair. Sometimes it worked flawlessly, but other times the front facing camera was affected by a lack of light (especially if used it indoors) and didn't work.
We also found an annoying issue in the new People app. The interface and layout is excellent but the images the app pulls from your contacts end up looking distorted and pixelated. Though its ultimately a minor issue, this takes some gloss of what should be a great looking feature. You can get around this by replacing your contact images with ones taken with the Galaxy Nexus' camera, but even then, the image inside the contact menu is blown up and looks blurry.
We also discovered some apps in the Android Market aren't compatible with the new Ice Cream Sandwich software. Some apps like Facebook will work but are missing the ability to access the options menu due to the on-screen keys replacing the hardware buttons. Others, like RemindMe don't work at all. This is an issue that will be resolved over time as developers update their apps to support Ice Cream Sandwich, but it remains a stumbling block for early adopters.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus has a 5-megapixel camera with single-LED flash that also doubles as a full HD 1080p video recorder. The best feature of the camera is its speed: it takes photos with virtually zero shutter lag. You can easily capture a whole heap of images in a matter of seconds, as the picture is taken the moment you press the on-screen shutter key. The Galaxy Nexus also has a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera will handle video calls and also record 720p HD video: a nifty addition for those who like to record themselves.
While we loved the fact that there is virtually zero shutter lag on the Galaxy Nexus, it often results in images that aren't well focused. The quality of images isn't as good as some other camera phones we've reviewed this year. The Galaxy Nexus is by no means a bad camera: in many instances it produces pretty natural looking photos, and macro performance is excellent. However, images tend to lack detail and have a fair bit of noise, and shots taken in low light aren't exposed very well.
Perhaps the most annoying aspect of the Galaxy Nexus is the volume of the external speaker: its not loud enough so ring tones and notification tones can be difficult to hear when the phone is in your pocket. We tried downloading an equaliser app from the Android Market to boost the volume but even with a slight boost this still remained a significant issue. We can only hope Samsung might be able to fix this with a software update, but its likely hardware that's the issue.
The Galaxy Nexus also lacks a microSD card slot, so you'll have to be content with the 16GB of internal memory. Samsung promised a 32GB model at launch, but as yet this model hasn't been released anywhere in the world, so it may not ever see the light of day.
The Galaxy Nexus supports a wide range of video and music files and doesn't require software to get music and video files onto it. You can simply plug the Galaxy Nexus into a PC via a USB port and drag and drop files onto the device. On a Windows PC the Galaxy Nexus appears in the control panel as a "portable device", but on a Mac or Linux computer you will need to download the Android File Transfer application in order to move files to and from the phone.
The Galaxy Nexus has average battery life. For light users, it should last a full day, but heavy users will more than likely need an injection of power before the end of the day. The best we managed to squeeze out of the Galaxy Nexus was almost 19 and a half hours: this was on a day with light to moderate use.
The biggest battery killer on the Galaxy Nexus is the screen: it often accounted for over 50 per cent of battery life on a heavy day, and around 30 per cent on a light to moderate day. Unlike many other Android phones, using the Internet and synchronising applications in the background (like Gmail, Twitter and Facebook) doesn't seem to be a huge battery drain. A good example is the fact that the Browser accounted for less than 8 per cent of the battery drain in most instances.
I'll be in line when it arrives.
Got my Galaxy Nexus 3 hours ago.
This changes everything - sorry, I couldn't resist.
This is the worst phone i ever had....
The biggest garbage ...no I can't even find right word to put this right....
I bought it brand new with Canadian provider on 3 years contract... and unfortunately after just 2 weeks I dropped it on the floor...(obviously this was my fault) my screen brake in pieces...
before this one I had Iphone's...Nokia...Sony...etc...and i never take care too much of my phones but non one of this had ever got scratched or even broken... honestly this is the biggest crap ever.
My screen and cover at the back was all scratch just from my keys in my pocket...and when I called..
Samsung customer service to see if there is anything that they could help me with....
I goth simple answer: "Oh I know...it's very soft and we received so many complaints about it...
but we cant do anything.."
First of all if you know what kind of garbage this phone it is... You dont sell it for 600$....so i know if I am buying a garbage to don't expect to much for my money....
Long story SHORT ....
Save your self ...buy something else...
People cannot call something stupid when they break it at their own will. If you tret it well, it does the same for you idiots.
Wat a douchebaglol iI've dropped mine and everything had it for 2 years no otter box and it looks great some ppl should learn to take care of there shit it is nanotechnology after all wtf bud and I payed for the whole phone plus I am covered by warranty cause I'm not a idiot lol
How can Samsung sell a phone that scratches with a case on!? Battery life is horrendous, and I am sick of it freezes and turns off and won't turn on
I think there are better phones out there to use, especially if you are rough with phones.
After using it for 5 months, by giving it a fair go, I can unbiasedly say that this rates as one of my worst smartphones investment of all time (delivered vs promise). I've been using smartphones since Compaq days, and the lack of basic features is appalling.
From build quality to basic functions, this reeks the brainchild of a designer in the early 20s, which caters too much to the socially connected crowd, and none of the ppc/smartphone basic functions. Coupled with volume, battery life, less than stellar updates (still on 4.02 even though 4.04 is out), crash problems, sensitivity problems, no PC agent, overly cloud centric, this is pretty much a phone with pretty looking(but relatively useless) apps and facebook.
It's totally useless to a business user out of box.
I naively thought with its customisability, that it can be eventually be catered to a tech savvy business user with the correct apps and some work, but I cannot be more wrong when build itself is screwy.
I'm done with google phones. IOS and Windows, I'm coming back to you.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

On the other hand, I did Busch gardens Williamsburg once where they opened an hour late and we had to walk through 6 inches of standing water at the entrance. And then they closed at 5pm -- so they didn't run their halloween haunt anyway.
I've also been there when it was so cold they couldn't run the roller coasters.
We were at KD the last day of operation, when the hurricane was coming. Of course, we worked there.... :-)
I like parks if they stay OPEN and the weather is bad. But sometimes they close early, or don't even open.
Hot weather keeps me away. I'll pass on the trips to SFMM July-September.
I voted "Nothing"...but would make an exception for lightning in the area. No messing around with that since those babies can travel miles from where they appear to be.
To this day, whenever I see another wearing the official Disney Marathon 2010 shirt, or vice versa, a look, a smile and a nod are always exchanged :) We survived the Disney, Alaska Marathon of 2010!!!

Leave it to Wes Anderson to introduce more than a dozen eccentric characters in a matter of 90 seconds.
Fox Searchlight has released a new trailer for Anderson's "Grand Budapest Hotel," highlighting the cast that includes Anderson favorites and seasoned character actors. The first trailer, released Oct. 17, teased the plot, centering around legendary concierge Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes), who has been accused of killing wealthy guest Madame D. (Tilda Swinton), and his protege Zero Moustafa (Tony Revolori).
Harvey Keitel, Adrian Brody, Bill Murray and Owen Wilson. It's also filled with color, true to Anderson's style, as well as a variety of mustaches.
The "American empirical picture," as its called in the trailer, will premiere at the Berlin Film Festival. It will be in theaters March 7.

What's your take on the elections?
View Single Post
Jimmy Snyder
Nov8-07, 02:21 PM
Recently, an election was held in the United States in an annual attempt to topple the government in the individual states. As usual, the attempt succeeded. And as usual, the government has succeeded in keeping this a secret from the electorate. But you have to get up pretty early in the afternoon to fool me. This poll has been closed and I am now ready to tablulate the results.
Total number of voters: 1
Total number of votes: 3
1. Don't know 33%
2. Don't care 33%
3. Don't know and don't care 33%
"Don't know", "Don't care" and "Don't know and don't care" swept the field with over 0 votes each. Unfortunately, since none of them garnered the requisite 50% + 1 a runoff poll will be necessary. Based on a challenge from supporters of "No comment", a recount was ordered. However, at the last minute the Supreme Court in a 2 to 1 decision ruled that it would "likely result in a better outcome and therefore was not desirable."
As in the election itself, anyone who had anything at all to say expounded long and loud without actually voting. For all of Bush's attempts to destroy our liberty, this phenomenon remains the more dangerous challenge to our most demotic of cracies.

Product Details
Gold bar with a 14-karat Gold necklace!
These Gold bars are in a polished smooth bezel hanging from an 18-inch open loop chain. These pendants depict a dove, the symbol of peace and purity, in flight over the skyline of Jerusalem, which means "City of Peace" in Hebrew. The reverse is struck with The Holy Land Mint's name and logo with "1 GRAM 999.9 FINE GOLD".
The symbol of the dove has a long history, beginning with the story of Noah's Ark in which a dove returned with an olive branch signaling the flood had ended (Genesis 8:11). In the New Testament, the dove represents the peace of Jesus. With modern-day use in situations of conflict, the dove is a universal symbol of peace and a fitting subject for the Holy Land Mint's first Gold bar.

Song lyrics that have us scratching our heads
Nicki Minaj's ballyhooed sophomore effort, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, has been out for just under a month now. That's more than enough time for Minaj to accumulate trashings and bashings over her desperate bid for hit singles, her increasingly-tiresome alter ego Roman Zolanski, and her lyrics. Oh, the lyrics.
"I am the ultimate Svengali / You b------ can't even spell that," she fires in "Roman Holiday." Err, can you spell "Svengali" Nicki? Or are you more comfortable reeling off farm animal noises? "Quack quack to a duck and a chicken too / Put the hyena in a freakin' zoo!"
Either way, we're at a loss trying to understand the preschool rhymes ("Dance your whole life there's no end inside / Twinkle twinkle little star") and schizophrenic lines ("I'm barely a man, yet I had some killers under me") scattered throughout this incomprehensible album.
As expected, Nicki's lyrics are total headscratchers but compared to some artists, her jibberish songs are like poetry to our ears. Whether cryptically pretentious, a lame excuse for a rhyme or just plain tripped out, here are some of the most baffling lines that leave us lost for words. Let's get lyrical!
Well I am just gonna go ahead and guess that Chris Brown's lady friend has an STD, and them suicide doors are her legs opening up, and her she waxed it all of trying to lure men into her death chamber. Now that is Japanese ritual suicide, go life, and you go chris brown! Enter that death chamber, enter.
"Seein' right through you like you're bathin' in Windex" ... Haven't you guys ever heard of similies before? Windex, in case you don't know, makes windows clean 'without the streaks' so that you can see through them. Here she's saying that he's completely seethrough, without even smudges or streaks to cover up what's going on inside his life.
As for Chris Brown's song, how could you miss Mr. Miyagi? Obviously he's referenceing the Karate Kid where Mr M teaches Karate by having the kid he teaches to wax his car, ("Wax on, Wax off"), or more specifically the next Karate Kid, because that's when his apprentice is a girl.
Taylor Swift uses her performance time during the Grammys to take a verbal jab at harry Styles.

Exceeded expectations for the seasoned traveler
A Dream Come True is a well fitting name to describe the trip I took for my 50th birthday celebration. The villas owner, Germaine, let us know from the initial contact that she was willing and eager to help us make this trip a memorable and smooth one for our large group of family and friends. After our short ride from the ferry station to our villa, we were met by the courteous and helpful Geno in the Maho Bay office, literally steps away from the entrance to our villa. When we opened the gate and stepped in, we all gasped at how beautiful the villa, pool and views were... The rooms were clean, spacious and each had a great view. It didn't take the adults long to pick our rooms because all the views from the bedrooms are fabulous! The location near sapphire and pond bay was very nice and their were no crowds- it was like having our own succluded island. In the late afternoon, a few beautiful boats and yachts would park in the cove and made our picturesque view even prettier. The kitchen was well stocked with top of the line knives and lots of glassware and plates to accomate our big crew. The pool is not huge but all you really need to float around in after a fun day at the nearby Baths or eating in the great nearby restaurants. The kayaks that come with the property gave our college age kids the perfect vehicle to take off on snorkel adventures within our view. The best part was that although we had 13 in our group, we all felt like we had plenty of room for privacy. We read lots of books off the shelves, took naps in the sun or shade by the pool and swam in the warm water.What I liked the least was that we weren't smart enough to book puck, the chef who made our delicious welcome dinner, more than one other time. What a character and fantastic chef. His concoctions and fusions of the food he prepared made the kids and adults alike very happy. I highly recommend you work on making this your DREAM COME TRUE.
Serendipity: Perfect Mix of Adventure, Freedom and Relaxation
Our trip to Serendipity far exceeded our expectations. The house, perched on top of a mountain with 360 degree views, has a beautiful open-air floor plan. Cool islands breezes quickly wash away our cares as we stared out over the surrounding islands or at the beautiful nighttime sky. The house is conveniently located on Great Camanoe, and situated in close proximity to many of the great British Virgin Islands with most all of them in site from the house.The house has a fabulous vibe. It seems to me that there have been many happy, wonderful memories made at Serendipity by its owners and by the lucky guests like us who have been blessed to stay there. Travel on Great Camanoe and between Great Camanoe and the other islands was one of our biggest concerns – and I am sure yours as you read this review. Here is a quick overview: 1)Best way to get to the area is to fly into Beef Island, Tortola airport. 2)When you arrive at Beef Island Airport you can walk to the dock, Trellis Bay, from the airport. It is only about 5 minutes away and easily done if you don't have too many bags. Trellis Bay is 2 miles from the house and an easy 10 minute ride in the boat. 3)Alvin, the homes caretaker was waiting for us in the boat at the dock to take us to the house. He was very helpful with local tidbits, acquainting us with the boat, the island and the house. 4)The house comes with two golf carts for transport from the marina to the house and back. 5)The boat, Scargo III, will be your main source of transportation – to the beaches, to see other islands, to dinner, etc. I must say, this 18 ft boat was great, stable and well maintained. 6)Meals are accessible on Scrub Island and Marina Cay are really close and accessible at night. Between the moored boats, a high-powered flashlight and cautious driving this is easily navigated. Honestly, this was our biggest concern. We did not want to eat in every night; after all it is vacation. With the boat we were able to visit Jost Van Dyke, The Baths on Virgin Gorda, Cane Garden Bay on Tortola, and Long Bay on Tortola. Everyone in our group agreed this trip went down as one of the best vacations ever. It was also a big hit with our 10-year old who enjoyed the boat rides and driving the golf cart to and from the house. I think staying at Serendipity affords you with the perfect mix of adventure, freedom and relaxation with a feeling that you are at home. Well, at least you can pretend its home until its time to leave.

10 Favorite Songs from BEFORE You Were Born
(Born in 1983)
VERY tough getting my list down to only ten. Had to omit favorites from The Beatles, Johnny Cash, The Ramones, Sam Cooke, and The Smiths (among others).
Don't Worry Baby (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUCmqb3EwAs) by the Beach Boys
The Body Of An American (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q97IfBOIR5Q)by The Pogues

Once in a Lifetime (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1DNHbNU)by Talking Heads
Bikage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7WanzlOvGg)by Descendents

Times They Are a Changin' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEzoH_wLpmM&feature=related) by Bob Dylan
Did this quick and dirty, so I'm sure I'll second guess myself later. Also only kept it to one song per artist/band:
David Bowie - "Young Americans"
Neil Young - "Cortez the Killer"
The Rolling Stones - "Dead Flowers"
Norman Greenbaum - "Spirit in the Sky"
Meat Loaf - "Bat Out of Hell"
Otis Redding - "I've Been Loving You Too Long"
The Beach Boys - "God Only Knows"
The Ramones - "Do You Remember Rock & Roll Radio"
KISS - "Love Gun"
Bay City Rollers - "Saturday Night"
Rosemary's Baby
-Oh! You Pretty Things - Bowie
-Clampdown - The Clash
-Happiness is a Warm Gun - The Beatles
-Lowdown - Wire
-Perfect Day - Lou Reed
-Search and Destroy - The Stooges
-Anthrax - Gang of Four
-Queen Bitch - Bowie
-Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Nancy Sinatra
-I'm So Tired - The Beatles
The list could easily consist of just The Clash, The Beatles, or Bowie, but I tried to switch it up.
1. Greensleeves
2. Edward - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCkcYYQv3so (Absolutely LOVE this song!)
3. South Australia (shanty) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vUqeDPZZ80
4. Alabama John Cherokee (shanty - I heaved at the capstan to this - hard as hell to push, stomp and sing all at the same time!) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu4wogg8G9c
5. Scarborough Fair/The Elfin Knight (not the S&G version)
6. Amazing Grace
7. She Moved Through the Fair - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2BE7XwfAvI (I prefer the male voice for this song - this guy's pretty decent)
8. Mbube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrrQT4WkbNE (Love all versions of it, including this original)
9. Will Ye No Come Back Again - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg5bLOQr1MM (Love this song because of Gunga Din)
10. La Bomba (NOT the one you're thinking of...) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYcFcxsYiZM
HM - Dúlamán - I can't tell if this was written before or after I was born - the music after, certainly, not sure about the words - so I'll put it as an 'honorable mention' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z92B5U30Yw0
There's a ton more - but not being at home with my music library keeps me from recalling everything...so we'll just go with these for now. I doubt anyone will check the links, but I put them up anyway, just in case...

Also, the Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden songs could be interchanged with any number of tracks from prior to my birth.
Mystery Train - Elvis Presley
Who Do You Love - Bo Diddley
What'd I Say - Ray Charles
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams
Spoonful - Howlin' Wolf
At Last - Etta James
Folsum Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
Girl From the North Country - Bob Dylan

Not Fade Away - Buddy Holly
Mister Mets
I might have more difficulty writing about my favorite songs after I was born.
The first ones that come to mind...
Rolling Stones- Sympathy for the Devil
Johnny Cash- Boy Named Sue
Johnny Cash- San Quentin
Jimi Hendrix- All Along the Watchtower
The Beatles- Yesterday
The Beatles- Elanor Rigby

MILWAUKEE -- Jamal Crawford broke out of a slump with 24 points, Joe Johnson added 22 points and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Milwaukee Bucks 83-69 on Friday night to force a seventh game in the first-round series.
Game 7 is Sunday in Atlanta.
Carlos Delfino scored 20 for the Bucks, who came into the game hoping to finish off their heavily favored opponent but instead went completely flat coming out of halftime. The Hawks outscored the Bucks 29-11 in the third quarter to take a 15-point lead.
Milwaukee made a furious comeback attempt in the last 6 minutes, cutting the lead to 7 with just over 5 minutes left, but Josh Smith's block on John Salmons with just over 2 minutes remaining helped stop the rally and the Hawks pulled away.
Al Horford had 15 points and 15 rebounds for Atlanta.
It was an off night for two of the Bucks' top offensive threats, Salmons and Brandon Jennings.

Ram or mobo problem?
Typing this on my iPad so apologies for any autocorrect errors that I don't catch. This is much more difficult than using any of my PCs.
Running Windows 7/64 on a home brew system built early 2007.
Asus P5B-E with latest BIOS
Intel e6600
2x1Gb sticks of Corsair cm2x1024-6400c4
2x2Gb sticks of AData DQVE1B16
Corsair HX520 psu
Intel x25m 80Gb SSD
Various sata hd's
I've tried to keep all drivers updated. Computer has run fine but had a recent bsod of the IRQL not less or equal variety. Updated a few drivers and all has been well except for some odd 15-25 second irregular hangs of Firefox and occasionally Chrome which may have developed after updates to Firefox 6.
I ran the Windows 7 memory diag and it reported hardware (not specific) problems. I d/l memtest86 v4.2, burned it to a CD and began running tests. Thus far i've found all 4 sticks to fail individually in the A dimm slots 1 and 2 (yellow and black). All fail on test 6 at various times, one stick not failing until passes 4 and 6.
I'm currently testing the B dimm slots 3 and 4 (yellow and black). I just saw a fail on pass 3 with test 7 on AData stick 1 in slot 3 as I type this.
How can I determine if I have memory or mobo problems, based on what I'm seeing? The test results seem to indicate mobo failure. Or do they?
I'm not sure there's any point to continuing memtest86 any further.
Any suggestions?
Secondary question... And very basic.
RAM should match up in the colored slots, right? IE, put Corsair sticks in yellow slots and AData sticks in black slots, or viceversa.
I've always found the mobo user guide confusing about this as it describes Channel A as Dimm A1(yellow) and Dimm A2(black), and Channel B as Dimm B1(yellow) and Dimm B2(black).
Note B in the UG says the mobo supports one pair of modules inserted into either Channel A or Channel B as one pair of dual-channel memory configuration. This sounds like the Corsair memory should be in the A slots (yellow and black) rather than matching color slots in DimmA and DimmB.
Did I misread the UG or have I misunderstood how dual-channel works?
|My System Specs
|07 Sep 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-Bit
I'm no expert on RAM, but I would have thought that if all the sticks are failing in different slots, then it certainly would point to a motherboard problem.
I notice that you have using RAM from different manufacturers. Are the specifications for each stick the same?
As for the coloured slots, I too am under the impression that matching pairs of RAM sticks should go in the same coloured slots.
|My System Specs
|07 Sep 2011
I just confirmed the ram vs channel/color issue. The UG is too confusing. I get single channel ops with the ram all in channel A. I get dual channel ops with the ram in the same colored slots. That ends that ambiguity.
In frustration, I plugged all my ram back into the mobo and am now using my mainPC. I don't know how I can run with all the errors I was getting, and yet here I am.
I don't know the timings on the AData ram. The Corsair is printed on each stick 4-4-4-12. So I figure running at 5-5-5-18 should be reasonably safe.
Checking my old order at Newegg (3+ years ago) it links me to a product with 5-5-5-18 timings. Newgg says it's the same memory module number, so I assume it's the same.

Feb. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Doug McCutcheon, UBS AG's head of healthcare in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia- Pacific region, has left Switzerland's biggest bank after 25 years at the firm.
McCutcheon, who is retiring from investment banking and returning to his native Canada, joined UBS predecessor company SG Warburg & Co. in London as a graduate trainee in 1987, according to a memo dated earlier this month. Will Thompson will become head of healthcare in Europe, Middle East and Africa with "immediate effect," the memo said. The contents of the memo were confirmed by a spokesman at UBS today.
In 2009, UBS hired four managing directors for health-care banking after the departure of the unit's chief, Benjamin Lorello. He left in June that year to become chairman of investment banking at Jefferies Group Inc. UBS and Jefferies said in July 2009 that they "amicably resolved" a lawsuit in which UBS accused Jefferies of raiding the firm's health-care investment bankers.

Blue Masked Lovebird
Blue Masked Lovebird
Agapornis p. personata var.Family: Psittacidae Agapornis personataPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy David Brough
A pretty little parrot, Blue Masked Lovebird makes an adorable pet. It is a most playful, charming and amusing companion...an excellent bird for the beginner!
The Blue Masked Lovebird is a favorite color variety of the Masked Lovebird. Though easily bred in captivity, this attractive variation also occurs naturally in the wild.
Friendly and easy to care for, the Blue Masked Lovebird will make a delightful and enjoyable addition to any household. They are relatively hardy and are easy to breed, making them every bit as good a pet as the Peach-faced Lovebird. Some even suggest that they may be a bit calmer, though others say they are just as mischievous.
Typical of all the lovebirds, the Blue Masked Lovebird is very social and loves companionship. Their natural behavior is to live closely with a companion so are often kept with another lovebird. Though they make a very fine and affectionate pet when hand-raised, they will need a lot of attention if kept singly. Most are kept in pairs to satisfy their considerable need for constant companionship, mutual preening, and socialization.
For more information and the care of Lovebirds see:
Guide to a Happy, Healthy Lovebird
Scientific Name: Agapornis personata personata var.
Description: The Blue Masked Lovebird is the best known color mutation of the Masked Lovebird, and this variety occurs naturally in the wild as well as in captivity. It is very attractive with a black head, blue body, and a white collar around the neck and on the upper breast.
All the Masked Lovebird mutations have a black 'mask' and their names refer to their body coloring, in this case 'blue'. Other color mutations include the Green Masked Lovebird which is also very common, and other more uncommon varieties such as the medium blue (cobalt) and the dark blue (slate).
Size - Weight: The Blue Masked Lovebird will get up to about 6" (14.5 - 15. 5 cm) in length.
Care and feeding: A roomy cage is required as lovebirds are very active. If you have a tame pet that is kept in a small cage, it needs to be let out for extended periods to fly about. Your pet they will enjoy a variety of seeds, fruits, vegetables, and commercial pellets.
See About Lovebirds: Housing and About Lovebirds: Care and Feeding for more information.
Social Behaviors: A lovebird is a very social bird with it's companion, and it is generally thought to be essential for their good health and happiness that they be kept in pairs rather than singly. They can, however, be aggressive towards other birds in an aviary setting.
Activities: Loves to fly, climb, and play. Provide lots of room and lots of toys.
Breeding/Reproduction: The Blue Masked Lovebird is excellent for the beginning breeder. These birds will breed as either single pairs or in colonies, and have the same behaviors as the Masked Lovebird. When you provide them with a nest box be sure to also provide lots of willow twigs, strips of bark, or other nesting materials.
The hen will lay three to four eggs which are incubated for about 21 to 23 days. The young fledge (leave the nest) in about 44 to 45 days. When they become independent, remove the young to their own housing.
See About Lovebirds: Breeding/Reproduction for more information on breeding.
Potential Problems: This bird has a high pitched twittering and though not as loud as some parrots, it can be rather noisy for parts of the day.
See About Lovebirds: Potential Problems for information on illnesses.
Availability: The Blue Masked Lovebird is very popular and is readily available.

Manipal University > Institutions > Departments at MU > Public Health > Courses > Post Graduate > Masters in Hospital Administration (MHA)
Scope of the Program:
Health care is one of the fastest growing industries in our country in the present scenario. New hospital projects are coming across the country and several existing ones are expanding their services. Several corporate houses are also venturing into hospital industry. Complexities in the running of the Hospital management have made it one of the challenging and sought after course.
A graduate in Masters in Hospital Administration (MHA) has job opportunities in varied fields apart from the healthcare sector alone. Large numbers of consultancy groups recruit MHA graduates for their consultancy work. Graduates specialized in MHA get into health insurance organizations and third party administrators' (TPA) organizations. With the government focused on making health more affordable and trying to reduce out-of-pocket payment to a large extent, multiple health insurance companies and TPA's have opened up and reaching out to the population.
Many of the IT firms also recruit students qualified in the MHA for their hospital information system projects. Today several state governments and corporate hospital bodies prefer to appoint graduates in Hospital Administration for running of the hospitals even at the district level setting.
Rising competition among various healthcare groups, more demanding patients, legal hurdles, medical tourism, and consumerism in health care has made the profession of hospital administration highly demanding.
The course helps the students in understanding healthcare delivery system in developing & developed world. It also promotes research and training in the field of hospital administration.
Manipal University (MU) is a renowned centre of excellence in teaching and in providing quality medical services in India and around the globe. MU is equipped with world class infrastructure, facilities and dedicated faculty for teaching and research
Why Study MHA?
Healthcare sector is one of the fastest growing industries in India today. Advances in the field of science and technology have given rise to an era of specialization. In the healthcare industry, these specializations have paved the way for creation of multiple specialty and sub-specialty departments to enhance the level of care delivery. Managing these departments with advanced facilities and modalities of treatment have taken a backseat primarily due to lack of attention and expertise. Towards this end there is a need to have professionally trained and competent personnel in the field of hospital administration who can ensure quality, optimization and better productivity in the delivery of healthcare services.
Special features of MHA course under Manipal University:
The MHA course is being offered by the pioneering institution in healthcare education, Manipal University (MU). It is an excellent opportunity to work in the evergreen and growing industry!.

Admissions open for Health Sciences Graduates and other Graduates. Practical training in hospitals attached to the Manipal Group Hospitals. Future international collaborations envisaged.
Course Structure:
The total duration of course is for 2 years structured into 4 semesters of 25 credit hours each. The fourth semester will be research/project based.
Teaching and Learning Methods
The pattern of teaching in general involves a pedagogical approach expecting students to take initiative in search of knowledge, thereby making them think on issues beyond the theoretical framework and encouraging them to develop their own abilities & skills to tackle various real life problems. Classroom learning is mainly discussions and interactive sessions involving case studies & theoretical inputs, simulations, exercises, individual and group presentations in the form of seminars and short projects etc.
Employment Opportunities
MHA graduates are either campus interviewed or are quickly absorbed by the industry as there is large need and deficiency in the output.

Say you want to find the min or max of f(x,y) subject to a constraint that g(x,y)=0. Has it ever occurred to you that the values of x and y required are the same as the values of x and y required to find the min or max of g(x,y) subject to f(x,y)=0? I bet it hasn't. The requirement is entirely symmetrical (the "curly 'd'" notation is much prettier, but I can't be bothered to figure out how to do it here):
I can't get my intuition behind this: in boolean algebra,
(p or q) is equivalent to (p and not q or q). Yes, I know it's true, do the truth tables if you doubt me. It just seems wrong. P.S.:
(p and not q or not p and q) is not equivalent--that's exclusive or.
Let's for a moment write logical conjunction as product and disjunction as sum. Boolean algebras have the distributive rule p(q+r)=(pq+pr). Familiar, right? But boolean algebras also have this one: p+qr=(p+q)(p+r). Aside from the trivial p=0, when else is this true in arithmetic? The challenge is 7th grade level, but I like the answer.

LIVIN' LA VIDA LEGO: My Character-Building Exercise
Most of us remember building LEGO sets as a childhood pastime—spending hours sprawled out along the floor, piecing together the vehicles and scenery as instructed by the included booklet. But the world of LEGO expands far beyond kids' games. In the hands of creative individuals, these building blocks can be shaped into impressive machinery, medical advancements, and grandiose works of art. Artist Sean Kenney isn't just a proponent of the latter—he's one of only 13 officially LEGO Certified Professionals in the world. When he's not working on his national touring exhibits and inspirational children's books, Sean also designs practical LEGO housewares like these sculpture lamps that are making their debut today on Fab.

I tried to post this on Vine, but it didn't work. Here you go:
Vine is a really interesting medium because the required brevity really inspires creativity. A large number of users are stepping up to the challenge of creating something new and exciting within the 6-second time limit. I find it interesting that this app has, in some ways, made viewers reevaluate what it means to them to dedicate six seconds of their lives to watching something online. The concept of time is both precious and worthless. Time flies by and stands still all at once. One day you will be too old to function, and the atoms in your body will break apart and form something new, but (hopefully) not before you have time to look back on all your many years and wonder, briefly, where all the time went.

Alexander Cozens (1717-1786)
A Blot: Tigers
ca. 1770-80
Watercolor on paper
Tate Britain, London
Cozens was one of the forerunners of the "Golden Age" of British watercolor, which initiated in the mid-18th century. Greatly admired by Turner and Girtin, he was one one of the first watercolorists to demonstrate its possibilities as a truly expressive medium. As drawing master at Eton, he had his students practice an exercise wherein paper was blotted with a random application of brown wash. Dark brushstrokes were then applied over it in a way that described the forms suggested by the blots. The exercise was intended to develop his students' imaginative capabilities with respect to drawing and composition-building. His primary subject was landscape; paintings including figures or animals, like this one, are rare.
These "blot paintings" were fairly trendy in London and Cozens produced many of them over the course of his career. They demonstrate a playful, flexible attitude towards painting and draftsmanship that was atypical amongst successful academic painters. His lyrical brushstrokes almost seem inspired more by East Asian techniques than anything else. Even his highly representational landscapes are imbued with an uncommon, intangible poetry.
