This excerpt is from the book Murach's JavaScript and jQuery by Mike Murach and Zak Ruvalcaba.
Now that you have the JavaScript skills that you need for using jQuery, you're ready to learn jQuery. So, in this excerpt, you'll learn a working subset of jQuery that will get you off to a fast start.
When you complete this section, you'll have all the jQuery skills that you need for developing professional web pages. You can also go on to any of the three sections that follow because they are written as independent modules. If, for example, you want to learn how to use Ajax next, skip to section 4.
Get off to a fast start with jQuery
In this excerpt you'll quickly see how jQuery makes JavaScript programming easier. Then, you'll learn a working subset of jQuery that will get you off to a fast start. Along the way, you'll study four complete applications that will show you how to apply jQuery.
Introduction to jQuery
In this introduction, you'll learn what jQuery is, how to include it in your applications, and how jQuery, jQuery UI, and plugins can simplify JavaScript development.
What jQuery is
What jQuery offers
Dozens of methods that make it easier to add JavaScript features to your web pages
Methods that are tested for cross-browser compatibility
How to include the jQuery file after you've downloaded it to your computer

How to include the jQuery file from a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

jQuery is a free, open-source, JavaScript library that provides methods that make JavaScript programming easier. Today, jQuery is used by more than 50% of the 10,000 most-visited web sites, and its popularity is growing rapidly.
The jQuery download comes in two versions. One version (min) is a compressed version that is relatively small and loads fast. The other version is uncompressed so you can use it to study the JavaScript code in the library.
If you include the jQuery file from a Content Delivery Network (CDN), you don't have to provide it from your own server, but then you can't work offline.
The jQuery CDN now provides a link that will always deliver the latest version of jQuery. That's the way the script element is coded in all of the applications in this book.
If you download the jQuery file to your system, you can change the filename so it's simpler, but then you may lose track of what version you're using.
Figure 1: What jQuery is and how to include it in your applications
Those are two of the reasons why jQuery is used by more than half of the 10,000 most-visited web sites today. And that's why jQuery is commonly used by professional web developers. In fact, you can think of jQuery as one of the four technologies that every web developer should know how to use: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery. But don't forget that jQuery is actually JavaScript.
How to include jQuery in your web pages
If you go to the web site that's shown in this figure, you'll find a download button that lets you download the single file that contains the jQuery core library. By default, the version that's downloaded is a compressed version that today is around 32KB. As a result, this version loads quickly into browsers, which is another reason why developers like jQuery.
The other version is uncompressed and currently about 247KB. If you download this version, you can study the JavaScript code that's used in the library. But beware, this code is extremely complicated.
Once you've downloaded the compressed version of the core library, you can include it in a web page by coding a script statement like the first one in this figure. Then, if you store the file on your own computer or a local web server, you'll be able to develop jQuery applications without being connected to the Internet. For production applications, though, you'll need to deploy the file to your Internet web server.
In this script statement, the file name includes the version number, but you can use whatever file name you want. However, if the file name doesn't include the version number, it's easy to lose track of which version you're using.
The other way to include the jQuery library in your web applications and the one we recommend is to get the file from a Content Delivery Network (CDN). A CDN is a web server that hosts open-source software, and the Google, Microsoft, and jQuery web sites are CDNs for getting the jQuery libraries. In the second example in this figure, the script element uses the jQuery CDN with a URL that gets the latest version of jQuery, and that's the way all of the applications in this book include the jQuery library.
The benefit to using a CDN is that you don't have to download the jQuery file. This works especially well with the jQuery CDN and the "latest" URL. Then, you don't have to change the URL when a new release becomes available. The disadvantage is that you have to be connected to the Internet to use a CDN.
How jQuery can simplify JavaScript development
To show you how jQuery can simplify JavaScript development, Figure 2 shows both the JavaScript and the jQuery for the FAQs application that you learned how to develop in chapter 6. If you're like most people who are learning JavaScript, you probably found the JavaScript code for this application both complicated and confusing. That's because it is.
The JavaScript for the application
var $ = function (id) {
return document.getElementById(id);
window.onload = function () {
var faqs = $("faqs");
var h2Elements = faqs.getElementsByTagName("h2");
var h2Node;
for (var i = 0; i < h2Elements.length; i++ ) {
h2Node = h2Elements[i];
// Attach event handler
h2Node.onclick = function () {
var h2 = this; // h2 is the current h2Node object
if (h2.getAttribute("class") == "plus") {
h2.setAttribute("class", "minus");
else {
h2.setAttribute("class", "plus");
if (h2.nextElementSibling.getAttribute("class") == "closed") {
h2.nextElementSibling.setAttribute("class", "open");
else {
h2.nextElementSibling.setAttribute("class", "closed");
The jQuery for the application
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#faqs h2").toggle(
function() {
function() {
); // end toggle
}); // end ready
Figure 2: How jQuery can simplify JavaScript development
In contrast, the jQuery code takes less than half as many lines of code. You'll also find that it is much easier to understand once you learn how to use the JQuery selectors, methods, and event methods. And you'll start learning those skills right after this introduction.
Incidentally, jQuery uses CSS selectors to select the HTML elements that the methods should be applied to. For instance,
$("#faqs h2")
is a jQuery selector for the CSS selector
#faqs h2
which selects all of the h2 elements in the element with "faqs" as its id. In fact, jQuery supports all of the CSS selectors including the CSS3 selectors, even in browsers that don't support all of the CSS3 selectors. This is another reason why developers like jQuery.
How jQuery can affect testing and debugging
When you use jQuery to develop applications, you can use the same testing and debugging skills that you learned in chapter 4. Remember, though, that a call to a jQuery method is a call to the jQuery file that you specify in a script element in the head section of the HTML. In other words, when your code executes a jQuery method, it is the JavaScript in the jQuery file that does the processing.
Then, if the jQuery code can't be executed, the display in Firebug or in the error console of the browser will point to a statement in the jQuery file. This can happen, for example, because a faulty parameter is passed to a jQuery method. Unfortunately, the information in Firebug or the error console doesn't tell you which statement in your code caused the problem. Instead, you have to use the other debugging techniques to find the bug and fix it.
In most cases, though, Firebug and the error console of the browser do provide information that helps you find and fix the bug. So this is a minor problem that is more than compensated for by the benefits that you get from using jQuery.
How jQuery UI and plugins can simplify JavaScript development
Besides the core jQuery library, jQuery provides the jQuery UI (User Interface) library. The functions in this library use the core jQuery library to build advanced features that can be created with just a few lines of code. These features include themes, effects, widgets, and mouse interactions.
To use jQuery UI, you include a jQuery UI library file in your web pages in much the same way that you include the jQuery core library. You also include a jQuery UI CSS file that provides the themes for jQuery UI. In section 3, you'll learn how to do that, and you'll learn how to use the features of jQuery UI.
The HTML for a jQuery UI accordion

What is jQuery?

Why is jQuery becoming so popular?

Which is harder to learn: jQuery or JavaScript?>

The JavaScript code for the jQuery UI accordion
$(document).ready(function() {
Some typical plugin functions
Data validation
Slide shows
jQuery UI is a free, open-source, JavaScript library that provides higher-level effects, widgets, and mouse interactions that can be customized by using themes. In section 3, you'll learn how to use jQuery UI.
A plugin is a JavaScript library that provides functions that work in conjunction with jQuery to make it easier to add features to your web applications. In chapter 11, you'll learn how to use some of the most useful plugins, and you'll also learn how to create your own plugins.
In general, if you can find a plugin or jQuery UI feature that does what you want it to do, you should use it. Often, though, you won't be able to find what you want so you'll need to develop the feature with just the core jQuery library.
Figure 3: How jQuery UI and plugins can simplify JavaScript development
Because jQuery UI can make JavaScript development even easier than it is when using jQuery, it makes sense to use jQuery UI whenever it provides an effect, widget, or mouse interaction that you need. Keep in mind, though, that jQuery UI is limited, so you'll still need jQuery for most of your web applications. As a result, you should think of jQuery UI as an add-on that you should learn how to use after you master jQuery.
Besides jQuery UI, the jQuery web site provides access to dozens of plugins that have been developed for jQuery. These plugins provide higher-level functions like data validation and drop-down menus that require minimal coding for their implementation. To facilitate the development of plugins, jQuery provides specifications that help standardize the way that plugins are implemented. Plugins are one more reason why developers like jQuery.
Like jQuery UI, plugins are libraries that make use of the core jQuery library. In fact, you can think of jQuery UI as a plugin. To use a plugin, you use a script element to include the plugin file in a web page, and you code that script element after the script element for the jQuery core library. In chapter 11, you'll learn how to get the most from plugins, and you'll also learn how to create your own plugins.
In practice, it makes sense to look first for a plugin that implements a feature that you want to add to a web page. If you can find one, you may be able to do in a few hours what would otherwise take a few days. Next, if you can't find a suitable plugin, it makes sense to see whether jQuery UI can facilitate the implementation of the feature. Finally, if neither a plugin nor jQuery UI can help you implement a feature, you have to use jQuery to develop it. That's why you need to master all of the jQuery skills in this section.
Nowadays, a large number of sensors and devices are connected to the network. Leading-edge IoT technologies integrate various types of sensor data to create a new value for several business decision scenarios. The transparent cloud is a model of a new IoT emergence service platform. Many service providers store and access various types of sensor data in order to create and find out new business values by integrating such data.

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

* Please use it as an inspiration/reference for your drawings/painting or for learning purposes. Do not create bases and photomanipulations from it. Thank you *
You can use the arts done with my poses anywhere and do not need to credit me.
Ideas for poses and a little training of skills.
...It's easy to notice that I'm better with females XP
Use it as inspiration if you're looking for some. Just please do not trace from it. I also wouldn't like to see bases done with poses that are just copied/pasted onto new file.
I does not need a mature content I hope?
more from the series:
I'm sure that here and there may appear some anatomy mistake, but remember that these are just sketches of several ideas I had in my head =3
cool, legs look a little short/off though. props for creative poses though!
This is neat
Thank you
Very awesome!
Number 4, tho.
Very Helpful
This really helped me a lot in this artwork mysticthearabian.deviantart.co…

This particular an excellent bandsaw which is for all those performing wooden pastime. The actual lighting, could be relocated about some other locations necessarily. You are able to clamp this right down to a strong desk or even along with to get the actual coup.
I don't know if this has been an issue for anyone else, but I noticed that the oil in the small sample size container of "WORX Bar & Chain Oil" included with the saw was much thinner than the stuff I normally use for my gas powered saw and didn't think anything more about it until I went to refill the reservoir. When I refilled the saw with my regular bar and chain oil, the automatic oiler no longer worked and the chain was running bone dry. I drained the tank and refilled it with ordinary 30-weight motor oil and the automatic oiler once again began to work as it had before. The outside temps here this time of year are in the mid to upper 70's, so cold weather oil viscosity shouldn't be an issue and I can't find any documentation in the owner's manual or quick setup guide as to the required type or weight of the bar and chain oil, so I will now just have to assume it uses 30-weight. I have a Remington electric pole saw that also uses 30-weight motor oil for the bar and chain lube, but at least Remington was gracious enough to mention this in their owner's manual. Other than that little fiasco, I really have taken a liking to this saw and am very happy with it.
This a very good bandsaw and it is for those doing wood hobby. Its real light, can be moved around to other places if need be. You can clamp it down to a firm table or bench to take out the vibration.
actually didn't hate this.
that was dope

For two+ years I pulled those 30 years of materials together.

Swearing, Lying Get Coach Fired Before 1st Game
Between Scott Linehan and Lane Kiffin, we've learned just how rare it is for a coach to get fired during the middle of the season. But before a team plays it's inaugural game as a program? Ave Maria University men's basketball coach Ricky Benitez was axed by the school last week, about a month before the team's first-ever game.
His sin? According to the NAPLES (FL) DAILY NEWS, he was originally fired for excessive swearing. (Someone tell Sam Mitchell, quick.) But the paper is now reporting that two big pieces of his resume - his time playing for the Puerto Rican National Team and his work as an NBA scout - have come into question. What is it about Catholic universities and coaches who allegedly fudge their resumes?

editor's review
countDownTimer is a tiny tool that lets you set up a countdown timer, as the name suggests. It can be seamlessly figured out, even by novice users.
This is a portable piece of kit, so installing countDownTimer is not required. It is suffice to drop the executable file on any location of the hard drive and run it.
However, countDownTimer may also be saved to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, and run on any computer; thus, you can keep it in your pocket whenever you're on the move.
What's more important is that Windows Registry does not get updated, and no files are left on the hard drive after deleting the app.
countDownTimer is initialized in full screen mode. The interface is plain, but it has a well-organized layout. The timer's minutes and seconds can be written in the Setup area, and you can make configure some preferences.
For instance, you can use the Clipboard as a means for text-to-speech conversions, schedule the countdown to automatically start and to provide audio for the last 10 seconds of the timer, as well as use endpoint audio announcement and make the tool automatically exit when the timer expires. Furthermore, you can use a key to pause the countdown at any time.
The simplistic tool is easy to configure by users with no experience in software applications, thanks to its intuitive features. It runs on a low CPU and system memory and has a good response time. We have not encountered any problems in our testing. Although the utility clearly requires some updates, (as it is noticed in the GUI's appearance), countDownTimer offers a straightforward solution to initializing a countdown timer.

PREVIEWS: "Spider-Gwen," "Chewbacca" & More Marvel Comics on Sale October 14, 2015
Comic Books
An unpublished manga drawn by the legendary Osamu Tezuka when he was a teenager was discovered at a used bookstore, where it was purchased in April by Tezuka Productions for $37,000.
According to Anime News Network, which translated reports from 47News and FNN, the 19-page comic was created immediately following World War II and just before Tezuka made his professional debut. The Astro Boy creator had given the work to a former classmate, who held onto it for more than 60 years. Harumichi Mori, head of the Tezuka Productions archives, said they were unaware of the comic until its discovery at the bookstore.
Tezuka, often referred to as the "father of manga," passed away in 1989 at age 60.

Super-boutique Samsaara stocks more than 65 designer labels, irresistible to everyone from Bollywood stars Preeti Jhangiani to Katrina Kaif.

Insights from our Editorial Team
Both approaches reveal serious shortcomings
Addressing cyber security for the power sector drives many conversations: mandates versus voluntary programs, IT versus industrial control systems, technology versus people, the list goes on. We reprise some of the logic to these apparent dichotomies and provide further reading.
Homeland security calls for `best practices'
On 9/11, the secretary of Homeland Security states that cyber security is "the most threatening risk we have." Much has changed in 11 years, but not as much as you'd think. We discuss the cyber security issues that can be touched on publicly, which focus on "how to think about cyber security." And we provide resources to in-depth discussions of same.
If "customer" implies choice, there's a ways to go
Playing nice when you need something doesn't build trust or turn "ratepayers" into "customers." Choices and the empowerment to make them are the basis for the new utility-customer relationship. Otherwise, the change in terminology is without merit.Comments: 1
No one-size-fits-all solution here
Just as we all have different-sized feet, utilities of different sizes and different geographic issues need different network communications solutions to fit individual needs. For a long time, the debate - and it was a debate - between the use of WiFi or broadband and public or private communications networks seemed to be more about trying to find a one-size-fits-all solution, rather than a variety of solution, rather than a variety of solutions (sometimes used within the same utility) in which everyone wins.
Now, not so much.
Two takes on last week's "Five Grid Issues"
Are fossil fuel emissions really a bad thing or much ado about nothing? Are smarter grids more resilient or is that just industry hooey? Is our columnist a "zealot" or just another misinformed stooge? Two readers take different tacks.
Power retailing is a rough-and-tumble business
A new report on best practices in data analytics reveals how a Texas retailer prioritizes customer retention efforts and maximizes resources. These practices also help raise the bar for the overall customer experience. Internally, cross-functional teams help demolish silos.Comments: 1
Utility's smart meter learnings inspire new approach
PG&E is applying hard-won lessons in customer engagement to ensure that small- and medium-sized business customers are prepared for state-mandated dynamic pricing progams taking effect this November. The utility used interval meter data to identify which customers would be adversely affected and ensured they had full information on the program and guidance on how to mitigate impacts.
Metering informs customers, operations, capital planning
Data analytics are improving the meter-to-cash cycle, reliability and storm preparedness at United Illuminating in Orange, Conn. A conversation with UI's managers reveals how and why.
What we should be talking about, now
Utilities are admirably going about the business of modernizing the grid, reaching out to customers and adapt their businesses to shifting paradigms. But five issues may present radical challenges and rarely get discussed. Buckle up.Comments: 2
Whether discussing the old coined phrase "smart grid" or the newly minted hot topic "IT/OT integration," the meaning is still the same: The nuances of the power grid need to be a bit brainier. Thought leadership sponsored by Intel.

Connecting a microphone to a guitar input
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I liked the review you did on the Focusrite iTrack Solo, but have a question about results you got with the SM58 mic. I have purchased the iTrack and have had mixed results with vocal recording and the SM58.
Did you use the phantom power when recording with the SM58? The connector on my mic cable required that I record through the guitar channel. I got decent sound from it, but I had to practically eat the mic to get volume high enough to move the meter in GarageBand. In the end, the sound is a bit muffled. I will be trying the mic channel with some new cable, but thought I would ask your opinion.
- Paul
A: Like almost all professional microphones, the SM58 is a low-impedance microphone, and therefore needs to be connected to a low-impedance input, such as the first channel on the Focusrite iTrack Solo or the IK Multimedia iRig PRE. Both of these require an XLR connector, which are normally the standard cables with most professional microphones, although XLR to 1/4" connector cables are also sometimes used with certain mixing boards and other audio equipment.
By contrast, guitar jacks are high-impedance inputs, designed for connecting guitars as well as other professional audio equipment such as preamps and effects processors. Connecting a low-impedance audio source, such as a professional dynamic or condenser microphone, will yield exactly the results that you are experiencing—low volume levels and muffled sound.
Note that you don't need to use phantom power with the SM58 or other dynamic mics; simply pick up an XLR cable and plug into the mic input and you should get proper results. Alternatively, you could also purchase a high impedance transformer for the SM58, but that would be far less practical both in terms of price and complexity than simply getting a new cable, since the iTrack Solo already handles the low-impedance mic input on the first channel.

Education Attenuates the Negative Impact of Traumatic Brain Injury on Cognitive Status
ABSTRACT To investigate the cognitive reserve hypothesis in survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cognitive impairment is prevalent among survivors of moderate and severe TBI, although some survivors fare better than others. The cognitive reserve hypothesis states that intellectual enrichment (estimated with education) protects against cognitive decline in neurologic populations (e.g., Alzheimer's disease).
Forty-four survivors of moderate or severe TBI and 36 healthy controls participated in this cross-sectional study at a medical rehabilitation research center.
Not Applicable.
Intellectual enrichment was estimated with educational attainment. Group was defined as TBI or healthy control. Current cognitive status (processing speed, working memory, episodic memory) was evaluated with neuropsychological tasks.
TBI survivors exhibited worse cognitive status than healthy persons (p < .001), and education was positively correlated with cognitive status in TBI survivors (r = .54, p < .001). Most importantly, regression analysis revealed an interaction between group and education (R2Δ = .036, p = .004), whereby higher education attenuated the negative impact of TBI on cognitive status. TBI survivors with lower education performed much worse than matched healthy persons, but this TBI-related performance discrepancy was attenuated at higher levels of education.
Higher intellectual enrichment (estimated with education) reduces the negative effect of TBI on cognitive outcomes, thereby supporting the cognitive reserve hypothesis in persons with TBI. Future work is necessary to investigate whether intellectual enrichment can build cognitive reserve as a rehabilitative intervention in survivors of TBI.

ABSTRACT: The expectation for moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is permanent damage and lasting deficits. However, in a multicenter investigation, Schneider et al.(1) show that by 1 year postinjury, one-fourth of patients with TBI achieve disability-free recovery (DFR), defined as a score of zero on the Disability Rating Scale. Of importance, cognitive reserve (CR) in the form of educational attainment was related to DFR.Neurology 04/2014; 82(18). DOI:10.1212/WNL.0000000000000395 · 8.29 Impact Factor
Article: Functional recovery after moderate/severe traumatic brain injury: A role for cognitive reserve?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the hypothesis that educational attainment, a marker of cognitive reserve, is a predictor of disability-free recovery (DFR) after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Retrospective study of the TBI Model Systems Database, a prospective multicenter cohort funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. Patients were included if they were admitted for rehabilitation after moderate to severe TBI, were aged 23 years or older, and had at least 1 year of follow-up. The main outcome measure was DFR 1 year postinjury, defined as a Disability Rating Scale score of zero. Of 769 patients included, 214 (27.8%) achieved DFR at 1 year. In total, 185 patients (24.1%) had <12 years of education, while 390 (50.7%) and 194 patients (25.2%) had 12 to 15 years and ≥16 years of education, respectively. DFR was achieved by 18 patients (9.7%) with <12 years, 120 (30.8%) with 12 to 15 years, and 76 (39.2%) with ≥16 years of education (p < 0.001). In a logistic regression model controlling for age, sex, and injury- and rehabilitation-specific factors, duration of education of ≥12 years was independently associated with DFR (odds ratio 4.74, 95% confidence interval 2.70-8.32 for 12-15 years; odds ratio 7.24, 95% confidence interval 3.96-13.23 for ≥16 years). Educational attainment was a robust independent predictor of 1-year DFR even when adjusting for other prognostic factors. A dose-response relationship was noted, with longer educational exposure associated with increased odds of DFR. This suggests that cognitive reserve could be a factor driving neural adaptation during recovery from TBI.Neurology 04/2014; 82(18). DOI:10.1212/WNL.0000000000000379 · 8.29 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Cognitive reserve (CR) is defined as the ability to cope with brain damage due to pre-existing cognitive processes or to the development of new compensatory processes. Existing research on CR is mostly based on the study of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. Recently, however, this construct has also been applied to other neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. The present review provides an overview of the studies that have investigated the influence of CR on neuropsychological outcome in stroke and traumatic brain injury patients. We performed a selective search on MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Web of Science Core Collection, using specific keywords including "cognitive reserve", "stroke", and "traumatic brain injury". The review is organized as follows: the first section focuses on works investigating the effect of CR on neuropsychological outcomes in post-stroke patients; the second section discusses studies which support the CR theory in traumatic brain injury. This review suggests that the study of CR in adult brain injury is still insufficient. Future research should investigate the role of other variables, like cognitive and social activities, as markers of CR in patients with brain injury, functional brain correlates of CR in brain activity, and the effect of CR on brain injury rehabilitative outcomes.Neurological Sciences 07/2014; 35(10).

But Office Depot maintains the top spot, Keynote Systems reports.
Industrial and office supplies retailer W.W. Grainger Inc. jumped up seven spots on the Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index for the week ending Dec. 30, landing at No. 2.
Grainger's mobile commerce site home page loaded on average in 4.44 seconds and did so completely and successfully 99.56% of the time. The weighted and combined load time and success rate earned Grainger an index score of 891 out of 1,000. Grainger is No. 76 in the Internet Retailer Mobile 400.
Office Depot Inc. kept its No. 1 spot on the index, measured by mobile and web performance management firm Keynote Systems Inc., with a load time of 3.07 seconds and a success rate of 99.78% for a score of 971. Barnes & Noble again came in third with a load time of 4.90 seconds and a success rate of 99.56% for a score of 880.
Amazon.com Inc. and Sears Holdings Corp. tied for fourth place, both with a score of 871. Amazon.com had a load time of 6.39 seconds and a success rate of 99.67%. Sears had a load time of 6.41 seconds and a success rate of 99.67%.
Office Depot is No. 65 in the Internet Retailer Mobile 400. BarnesandNoble.com Inc. is No. 31, Amazon is No. 1 and Sears is No. 29.
The index average load time for the week ending Dec. 30 was 8.50 seconds, the average success rate was 99.13% and the average score was 705.
Click here and then click on Keynote Mobile Commerce Performance Index Part 1 and Part 2 to see this week's complete results for all 30 retailers on the index.
Keynote Systems measures 30 representative m-commerce sites exclusively for Internet Retailer. The sites include merchants in multiple categories and channels, and of multiple sizes, ranging from such giants as Amazon.com Inc. to midsized retailers like Toolfetch.com LLC. Keynote tests the sites in the index every hour Monday through Sunday from 8 a.m. through midnight Eastern time, emulating three different smartphones on three different wireless networks: Apple Inc.'s iPhone 4 on AT&T, the HTC Evo on Sprint and the Droid X on Verizon. The HTC Evo and the Droid X run Google Inc.'s Android operating system. Keynote runs the tests in New York and San Francisco.
Keynote combines a site's load time and success rate, equally weighted, into a single score. Given that both performance and availability are important, the score reflects the overall quality of the home page; a higher score indicates better performance. Scores also reflect how close sites are to each other in overall quality. The index average score is the midpoint among all the sites' scores.

2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Preview
2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Preview
Fast Facts:
- Lighter by 220 lbs.
- Improved aerodynamics
- Larger, quieter interior and bigger trunk
- New, more fuel-efficient engines
- Advanced semi-autonomous safety technologies
- Upgraded infotainment and cabin climate systems
With the arrival of the new 2014 CLA-Class to serve as the entry model to the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the automaker repositions the redesigned 2015 C-Class in order to compete in what it characterizes as the "premium mid-range" market. As the best-selling model for Mercedes, the new 2015 C-Class Sedan will launch as the C300 4Matic and the C400 4Matic. They will compete against the upcoming Acura TLX, Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Cadillac ATS, Hyundai Genesis, Infiniti Q50, and Lexus IS.
Exterior Features
In describing the C-Class Sedan's styling, Mercedes used words such as "clarity," "minimalist," "purist," "sensuous," and "striking." Viewed in profile, the car demonstrates a long-hood, short-deck design combined with short front and rear overhangs and a passenger cabin set back on the chassis.
As was true of the previous-generation C-Class, buyers can choose between Luxury and Sport styling themes, the former providing a traditional grille design with a stand-up hood ornament, and the latter providing a sportier appearance with the Mercedes star emblem embedded into the grille. An optional Sport package adds a more aggressive appearance to the Sport model.
Larger than the model it replaces, the new 2015 Mercedes C-Class is 3.7 inches longer, 1.6 inches wider, and sits on a wheelbase stretched by 3 inches. At 17 cu. ft., the trunk is quite big for the class, making it larger than what most midsize family sedans offer.
Interior Features
When customers sit inside the redesigned 2015 C-Class, Mercedes wants them to feel as though they have upgraded "to a higher class of travel," the automaker explains. From the materials used, to the appearance of the layout and controls, Mercedes aims to deliver a higher level of quality in the new C-Class. Leather, wood, and cool-touch metallic surfaces are used to convey luxury and sophistication inside the new C-Class, and Mercedes says the cabin's design is modeled after its sports cars.
Optional Features
Highlights from the announced list of 2015 Mercedes C-Class options include a Sport package with a lowered suspension and exterior styling modifications, and a Multi-Media package with a larger 8.4-inch color touch-screen COMAND display, navigation with Google Maps, and a "DriveShow" feature that displays information about the journey similar to those on transcontinental airplane flights.
Additional options include a choice between a Frontbass audio upgrade and a Burmeister premium surround-sound system, head-up display, panoramic glass roof, air suspension with multiple driver-selected settings, and LED headlights. Numerous safety- and comfort-related technologies are also offered for the C-Class, and are discussed in greater detail below.
Under the Hood
The C300 4Matic is equipped with a turbocharged, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive (AWD). Preliminary ratings peg this engine at 235 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque, the latter likely generated across a broad portion of the engine's rev range to ensure lively performance.

Review: 'The Killing' - 'Undertow': Physical graffiti
Even if I wasn't forced to trim some of my usual reviewing workload this week due to upfronts coverage, I imagine I would give short shrift to tonight's "The Killing." We're at the point in the season where I'm just repeating the same complaints over and over again, and that's a waste of my time as much as it is yours. If upcoming episodes are substantially different from what we've seen of late, perhaps I'll check back in with a longer take. Otherwise, we're close enough to the finish line that it might be wiser for me to just reserve my thoughts for a long review of the finale in a few weeks.
But as for "Undertow," what did everybody think? Do you like where the story took Bennet Ahmed? Are you struggling to feel sympathetic towards Mitch Larsen? Did you roll your eyes at most of what Darren Richmond did and said? Have at it in the comments.
