It's designed to help you understand what Facebook is and how to use it safely. With it, you will be better informed and able to communicate with young Facebook users in your life more effectively. That's important because 1) if something goes wrong, we want our children to come to us and 2) as the Internet becomes increasingly social and mobile, a parent's guidance and support are ever more key to young people's well-being in social media and technology.
The guidebook is published in partnership with the iKeepSafe Coalition. The guide covers how to: * Configure Facebook's new timeline (what used to be called your profile) * Review your activity logUse the site's new in-line privacy tools* Use Facebook's "social reporting" tools to resolve problems* Protect your online reputation* Use Facebook Mobile safely* And much more.

HuffPost High School and iKeepCurrent will explore digital citizenship: what it means to be an ethical, responsible and resilient digital citizen.
Our partnership will provide a unique opportunity to include the youth voice often left silent in the online safety, security and ethics discussion. This is what we know: the way students interact with each other online profoundly affects how they perceive themselves and engage with others offline. The reality is that our young people meet and bond emotionally through their digital devices. They develop relationships through a myriad of virtual platforms -- by joining social networks and receiving status updates; amassing lists of friends and groups; and receiving, texts, IMs and video messages. Every day we learn of digital dramas and dilemmas that are rocking schools, regions or the entire nation. That's why we've created the iKeepCurrent Generation Safe News Feed. The New 3 Rs.

LEVEL R – Kitti Engine Upgrade
The newest version of the free-to-play racing MMO Level R (aka Project Torque) might be called Kitti, but don't let its name fool you into thinking it's docile and just wants to cuddle. This "Kitti" packs quite a punch, including new game modes, racetracks and cars.
A bit of fun jostling can now be had in the new Sumo Mode, where the objective is to ram one's opponent of a platform such as an oil rig, a skyscraper or an iceberg.
A bit more finesse is required in the newly-reintroduced Drift Mode. Only players that have mastered their vehicle will be able to pull off long and fast drifts – which are key to landing on the victory podium. Another classic and action-packed mode returns with Capture the Flag Mode.
A lot is also happening in Thunder Alley Mode, which is based on American stock car racing. Anyone who might have thought they'd seen it all will be proven wrong by the "Dominator", a beast of a racing pickup that's faster and stronger than anything else. The top of the new class, though, is the Thunder, the first bonafide Formula 1 car in Level R! In addition to classic oval tracks, Thunder Alley pros can now prove their skill on Nürgenhoch, a tough Grand Prix track.
Nürgenhoch is also available in Versus Mode, adding a whole new row of tracks to Doctor X's fantasy island. And of course there are new cars too, including a brawny van that might look familiar from a well-known TV show and some new BMWs.

Nature Festival this weekend at Rookery Bay
Jan. 15, 2010, through Jan. 17 is your chance to get up close and personal with a bald eagle.
Nature is all around Southwest Floridians. But next Friday, Saturday and Sunday, nature will be a focal point at Rookery Bay's sixth annual Nature Festival.
The festival offers a chance for residents and visitors to get a better understanding of the area's natural surroundings.
"So much of this reserve, people can't see," said Rookery Bay environmental manager Randy McCormick. "It's out there on the water. So how do you get them to value it? You bring it to them."
Visitors will be able to explore the Environmental Learning Center at Rookery Bay, and be among the first to cross the pedestrian bridge that spans Henderson Creek and take a tour of the coastal and upland habitat on the other side. There will be presentations by noted experts about butterfly gardening and the panthers, birds and snakes of Southwest Florida. One display will portray early pioneer life on Marco Island.
For the youngsters, dissection of owl pellets and the popular marine touch tank will help foster an appreciation of natural life and how we fit into it.
"The earlier you expose kids to nature, the better. The passion develops at an early age," said Amelia Horodam, Education and Learning Center manager at Rookery Bay. To encourage families with children to participate, admission is free for everyone age 12 and under.
The Nature Festival, he said, is a chance for people to get to know their neighbors — including some they may not have met previously, such as the striped burrfish, the gopher tortoise and the parchment worm.
In addition to all the activities at Rookery Bay's Environmental Learning Center off of Collier Blvd., dozens of field trips are being offered to take people out into a wide variety of natural habitats.
"My favorite is the swamp walk in the Fakahatchee Strand preserve with Mike Owen," said volunteer Paulette Carabelli. "It's an amazing place, with ferns over your heads, and animals, and Mike is the most entertaining guide you could imagine.
"There are so many types of excursions. You can go canoeing on the Turner River, bicycle in the Everglades National Park at Shark Valley, or take your kids kayaking."
It's important to sign up ahead of time for the field trips, she said. Many of them are already filling up and some have reached capacity.
"When you take one of these trips, you are being guided by an expert," McCormick said. "We keep the groups small, so you really get a rewarding, personal experience."
Volunteer Linda Detzel has seen the tours firsthand.
"I did the swamp buggy tour up at Corkscrew Sanctuary," Detzel said. "It was a lot of fun. You go way beyond where you can get on the boardwalk. We saw deer, and wood storks nesting, and climbed up on an observation platform way back in the woods."
There are also trips closer to the Rookery Bay headquarters, including birdwatching expeditions to Tigertail Beach and Sand Dollar Island on Marco Island and kayaking in Rookery Bay.
Last year, the beginner-level Tigertail birding trip came back with a count of 34 different bird species over the three days of trips, said research biologist Beverly Anderson, who will lead the groups. Birds identified included laughing gulls, great and snowy egrets, tricolored herons, black-bellied plover and sanderlings.
"You're not expected to know them all, but you will learn something about birds," said Anderson. She emphasized that trips are available for all levels of expertise, and all levels of physical activity, including some that are wheelchair-accessible.
Back at the Environmental Learning Center, numerous exhibits by nature organizations and preserves that partner with Rookery Bay will give presentations during the festival.
The Environmental Learning Center features live animals and fish, which share space with enormous blowups, including a four-foot mosquito, sharks and a fish that bears a strong resemblance to the "Creature from the Black Lagoon." There are dioramas, interactive displays, a 2,300-gallon mangrove aquarium and examples of the equipment firefighters use to light controlled burns in the back country.
On Tuesday, Jackson Bates, 2, was enthralled by the R/V Dolphin, a stationary mockup of the actual vessels Rookery Bay uses for research and touring. "He loves this boat — I don't know if we can get him out of it," said his father, Justin.
But for total kid fascination, nothing tops the marine touch tank. Under the supervision of a naturalist, children get to handle live marine creatures. Species in the tank can include giant hermit crabs, sea cucumbers, horse conch and horseshoe crabs.
"It's kind of the catch of the day, whatever we come up with," McCormick said.
McCormick started the festival six years ago. He said he is happy that so many people are getting the chance to enjoy and learn about nature.
"It's not just entertainment. This is an educational opportunity that can be a lot of fun, for kids of all ages," he said. "When I see the smiles on people's faces, I know I've done my job."
Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve's headquarters is located at 300 Tower Road, just off Collier Boulevard on the way to Marco Island.
Admission to the festival costs $10 per day or $20 for a three-day pass for those over 12. Field trips are priced individually.

Good location, close to greenbelt, No free WiFi in the room. Room service closed at 2130. Our room was not ready when we arrive at 1400 hrs, They gave us smaller room so we could rest until our room was ready.

Spacious & comfortable 2 bedroom apartment with complete kitchen amenities. However, there's a sense of stinginess by not providing even the most basic toilet amenities i.e. toothbrush, cotton bud etc. Housekeeping is also not consistent, providing towels inconsistently.

We are returning guests to Somerset Millennium and will be coming back. Rooms have a good size, are tasteful decorated and works very well. The whole hotel also has a nice small scale atmosphere to it. However, it is not a business hotel with the associated services - it is more of a semi condo accommodation. At our last stay during the past festive season, we had two issues: the first was that the daily room service makeover was so seriously under-resourced that the room was simply not made up even though we were out all day long and had flagged the room was ready for makeover. This was reoccurring and not good - if something like was conical, we would not return. You need a fresh room to return to. The other issue this time around was the experience of what I know as fruitflies around the small fresh fruit desk at the breakfast setting. The fruit was fresh enough alright, but one wondered if some fruit had fallen off and was lying somewhere and needed a proper cleanup overhaul. It is not nice to go and service oneself and these fruitflies comes up. Anyway, we had a good stay and will return.

It was our first stay at Sommerset Millenium Makati. Very good location, friendly staff, clean rooms and only a few minutes walk to Greenbelt shopping and restaurants. The area around the hotel is safe and very clean too. Will definetly stay there again on our next visit.
Good and attentive guest relations officer. Spacious and comfortable apartmentment. Central location to business and leisure.

Windows 10 Review for Dummies

After all these years, and growing up with Windows 3.1, I have seen an entire evolution of computers and software. Touch screens and large resolutions were a pipe dream just 15 years ago. Now it's the norm. Going from a Packard Bell (yes, before HP) that couldn't run 3D Ultra Mini...

Rock Band Unplugged
Rock Band Unplugged Member Review for the PSP
1- 1
Electronic Arts, MTV Games
Harmonix, Backbone Entertainment
Contains Mild Lyrics, Mild Suggestive Themes
What do these ratings mean?
The Good
: You can customize your entire band!, lots of great and amazing songs, responsive controls, huge world tour
The Bad
: No multi player...seriously?, can be extremely hard, graphics are poor, bad ambiance
When Rock Band was released back in 2005 it kick started a whole new era of rhythm games in your home. With Guitar Hero still using only the guitar controller, Rock Band introduced drums and mic to the genre. This brought a whole new meaning to the music genre and spawned many copycats, but none could do it better than Rock Band.
Now that Rock Band has hit the portable scene you just beg to wonder what quality the game has, and how could a game using instruments become so wonderfully executed with four buttons? Well, a disaster Unplugged is not and the following paragraphs shall prove this to you.
In short, Unplugged does some things really well with the gameplay, but somehow manages to turns around and make the game Not Fun at the same time. Hold on to your desk, handrail, controller, because you have to play all instruments at the same time. Yes: Bass, guitar, drums and mic all at the same time. I know Backbone are a bunch of jerks, but it's not as difficult as you might think. You see all four tracks on screen (yes singing is now a regular track) and when one starts coming down you play the phrase then switch to the next phrase using L or R. Phrases are silver borders around a certain amount of notes (each difficulty makes you play more in a phrase). If you play well enough you'll get to go to the next phrase, but be fast! If you don't switch right away, the phrase box will move up the track and you must play all the darkened notes until you get there. In the mean time, other tracks are coming down around you, bringing down your crowd meter - and this last point is what makes the game not so fun.
When you're actually playing the game you use the left D-pad (red), up D-pad (yellow), triangle (green) and circle (blue) (DJ Max Portable vets will already have this down pat). As you can see there is no orange present since the game only uses four buttons, but don't let this misguide you into thinking the game is easy because it is far from that. To make the game a tad easier on recognizing what buttons to hit together, the orange bar that was used for the kick pedal on the drums now ties notes that are apart from each other. This helps identify when to hit two notes simultaneously and thus makes it a bit easier when all these little notes are whizzing by. Overdrive (or Star Power) is still the same, and can be activated with the X button, but having to perfectly play every phrase can make gaining Overdrive a little hard.
One other thing that really makes playing this game somewhat annoying is the fact that instruments drop out if you leave the track alone for too long. I don't mean drop out as in failing (you can save the tracks by using overdrive), but in an audio sense. This is supposed to be an audio aid/cue to go to that instrument and play the phrase, but it just makes the song sound really bad.
One major disappointment is that Unplugged does not have any multiplayer what-so-ever. Yes, I know, I know - it's alright, you can stop crying now. I am clueless as to why this decision was made, because multiplayer is what really made Rock Band shine and there's no excuse not to have it in the PSP version. Besides the missing multiplayer, the game is really vanilla in modes, as it includes only your Band World Tour, Quickplay, and Training; oh and Options if you really like that. One request that Unplugged finally responded to was the ability to customize everyone in your band instead of just the musician you are currently playing.
The customization is actually really shallow compared to the console versions of the game since you can't choose clothing categories (Goth, Punk, Metal etc.), but only a few clothes for your torso, bottoms, and shoes. There aren't as many accessories or even hair and make-up items, but this is OK since the game doesn't look that great anyways (more on this later).
When you start your band you can name it, pick a logo (yeah you can't even make one!), name your musicians, pick from some generic clothing, hair, make-up and your set. I see that Backbone had the whole "portability" thing in mind so you can whip up a band and go, but some people actually see customization (like myself) as main part of the game and can really bring the game to life with your creations.
Once you start up a band and enter the World Tour you'll be in familiar territory. You have mystery set lists, make a set list and various sponsored set lists that have various amounts of tracks. You can select your difficulty (Easy through Expert), but not your instrument and I really wish Backbone would have kept the game the way it was before with just one instrument track.
When you are actually playing a song you are rated on how well you did with up to five stars and a score multiplier. Landing notes will increase this multiplier up to 8x (if you activate Overdrive) until you miss a note when it goes back down to zero. Once the song is over you see your percentage of notes hit for each instrument along with how many phrases you played, attempted or failed. Eventually you'll unlock managers you can hire to change attributes of your play style that will earn you more cash, fans or get you gigs you couldn't do otherwise. You unlock songs by earning a certain amount of cash, fans, and stars. In the beginning this can be difficult since you have to get almost perfect scores on every song to start unlocking more gigs.
Sometimes before you star a gig a screen will come up and ask you if you want to gamble with your gig (in a sense) by getting 4 stars or more you can get quadruple the cash or nothing at all, if you get 5 stars we'll double your fans and all that. It's fun and all, but we've seen this before guys!
The World Tour seems to be the meat of the game and it's nothing new or original - just the same old stuff we've seen from previous entries in the series, and this is a bit disappointing since it makes you feel like you're just playing a rushed port.
There is also downloadable content available (as I write this) for people looking for more than what's on the disc. Currently there are 10 songs available (assuming this is an experiment from EA) for $1.99 each from the PlayStation Store. They are great songs (Disturbed-Inside the Fire, Paramore-Crushcrushcrush), so this is a great way to keep Unplugged alive and kicking.
Since this is a band game how does it sound? Very good actually, as the songs are MP3 quality thanks to the UMD's 1.8GB storage capacity, and the PSP's memory size. There are 41 songs on the disc, featuring The Jackson 5, Lacuna Coil, Pearl Jam, Bon Jovi, Boston, Tenacious D, The Police and a ton more. Most of these songs (again another disappointment) are from previous Rock Band games, but these seem to be the best of them and almost feels like a "Rock Band: Greatest Hits".
However, when it comes to the actual ambiance, the game fails. Crowd noise sounds like static, the menu noises sound muffled and very monotone - almost like you were playing a DS (Ha! Take that Nintendo!) and really makes the experience kind of dull aside from the music.
If you want to talk about graphics you should cover your eyes and run away because the game looks kind of ugly. The characters don't have the realistic animations like the console versions, or the detailed textured, or the nice lighting effects. Everything looks flat, plain and really dull. The characters use the same retarded animation over and over again and it makes you wonder if the game is really a 3rd party creation. I realize the PSP has limited hardware, but c'mon they can do more than that; Kratos was able to!
While the menus look nice and crisp and remind you of Rock Band 2, I still wish there was more to the graphics and sound of the game. This is a real disappointment for me, but what saves the graphics department is that you don't really look at the characters. Your main focus are the tracks and the notes, which look crisp and clear.
Rock Band: Unplugged is a great departure for the series on to the portable scene. With 41 songs on disc, great controls, downloadable songs and an extensive World Tour mode there are a lot of reasons to come back to Unplugged again and again.
Don't let the bad sides - such as mediocre graphics, poor ambiance, awkward gameplay and the wee bit shallow selection of modes - bother you: Unplugged is probably the best portable rhythm game ever made and it doesn't even need a guitar hand grip.

Afghan president, lawmakers agree on fraud panel
KABUL (AP) - Afghanistan's president and regional political leaders agreed Thursday to keep two international commissioners on the panel that uncovered widespread fraud in last year's presidential vote, officials said, allaying worries that the president would remove all foreigners from the group.
The five-member Electoral Complaints Commission was dominated by U.N. appointees when it confirmed massive ballot-rigging in last year's presidential election, most of it to President Hamid Karzai's benefit.
Karzai had made statements suggesting he might appoint an all-Afghan commission ahead of parliamentary elections in September, but the U.N. had lobbied for at least some international representation and a presidential spokesman said Thursday that Karzai is committed to appointing two international commissioners.
"There is an agreement on two people from the U.N.," Waheed Omar said. A statement released by the president's office said representatives from parliament and powerful ethnic groups also agreed in discussions Thursday that two international representatives would be acceptable.
This will still change the commission from a U.N.-dominated body to an Afghan-dominated group.
Those in the meetings said they agreed to a list of names including three Afghans - a Kabul University professor, a Parliamentary employee and a Supreme Court nominee - along with two foreigners from the United Nations.
Mohammad Akbary, a lawmaker from Bamiyan province, said the list was final, as did other parliamentarians who were in the meetings.
Omar, the presidential spokesman, said that a final list would not be issued before Saturday.
A spokesman for the United Nations declined to comment on the commissioners until an official list was announced.
"They were good, constructive meetings and there were some positive developments," spokesman Dan McNorton said.

Studies recently conducted at the Harbor-UCLA Medical Center finds that aged garlic extract may carry significant benefits for those battling heart disease.
According to NBC News Los Angeles, the studies were led by Dr. Matthew Budoff, a cardiologist from LABiomed. Over 70 patients were divided – many given a placebo while others were taking four pills of garlic per day. Cat scans taken both before and after the studies showed that those taking the garlic extract experienced less blockage in their arteries.
Budoff recognizes that there are still tests to be done in order to determine the exact correlation between the garlic and the improved heart conditions. However, he remains positive in regards to the benefits of the bulbous plant.
"Few therapies have even been able to slow or stop hardening of the arteries," Budoff said to News Max Health. "So I consider aged garlic extract to be an elite class of treatment to potentially reverse the process of heart disease."
One patient involved in Budoff's studies, Gary Zimmerman, was pleased with his personal results.
"It means I'll be taking a lot of garlic," Zimmerman told Budoff and the NBC News Los Angeles team.

1357 AD The term, influenza, from the Italian word meaning "influence," was coined. Popular belief at that time blamed the development of flu on the influence of the stars.
1485 "Sweating sickness," a flu-like malady, sickens hundreds of thousands of people in Britain. The Lord Mayor of London, his successor and six aldermen die. The Royal Navy cannot leave port due to the sickness of sailors. Doctors prescribe tobacco juice, lime juice, emetics, cathartics and bleeding as treatments for the disease.
1580 First recorded influenza pandemic begins in Europe and spreads to Asia and Africa.
1700s Influenza pandemics in 1729-1730, 1732-1733, 1781-1782.
1781 Major epidemic causing high mortality among the elderly spreads across Russia from Asia.
1830 Major epidemic causing high mortality among the elderly spreads across Russia from Asia.
1831, 1833-1834 Influenza pandemics hit.
1847-1848 Influenza sweeps through the Mediterranean to southern France and then continues across in Western Europe.
1878 A disease causing high mortality in poultry becomes known as the "fowl plague." Fowl plague is now called HPAI avian influenza.
1889-1890 The "Russian flu" spreads through Europe and reaches North America in 1890.
1900 Major epidemic.
1918-1919 The "Spanish Flu" circles the globe (though some experts think it may have started in the U.S.). Caused by an H1N1 flu virus, it is the worst influenza pandemic (and subsequently, epidemic) to date. There are more than half a million U.S. deaths; worldwide death estimates range from 20 million to 100 million. According to WebMD, "The pandemic comes before the era of antibiotics -- which are now essential in treating the secondary bacterial infections that often kill flu-weakened patients -- so it's difficult to say whether this flu would have the same dreadful impact in the modern world. But it is a very frightening disease, with very high death rates among young, previously healthy adults."
1924 The first outbreak of HPAI avian influenza -- bird flu -- in the U.S. It does not spread among humans.
Late 1920s Richard Shope shows that swine influenza can be transmitted through filtered mucous, implying that influenza is caused by a virus.
1933 Sir Christopher Andrewes, Wilson Smith and Sir Patrick Laidlaw isolate the first human influenza virus.
1940 Frank Macfarlane Burnet grows influenza on a laboratory growth system (embryonated chicken eggs).
1941 George K. Hirst discovers that influenza causes hemagglutination of red blood cells, thus providing a new method of assaying for the virus
1955 Sir Christopher Andrewes, along with Burnet and Bang, coins the term "myxovirus" for the influenza family.
1957-1958 The "Asian Flu" causes the second pandemic of the 20th century. Caused by an H2N2 virus, it begins in China and kills one million people worldwide, including 70,000 Americans.
1968-1969 The "Hong Kong Flu" causes the last flu pandemic. It was caused by an H3N2 virus and killed some 34,000 Americans. The relatively low death toll is thought to have been due to two factors. First, the virus contained the N2 protein humans had been exposed to before. Second, an H3 virus circulated around the turn of the century, giving some immune protection to elderly people who had caught the flu back then.
Mid-1970s Researchers realize that enormous pools of influenza virus continuously circulate in wild birds.
1976 Swine flu breaks out among a handful of soldiers stationed at Fort Dix, N.J. One dies. It's an H1N1 virus, and health officials worry that they are seeing the return of the 1918 H1N1 Spanish Flu pandemic. As the virus is circulating among U.S. pigs, President Gerald Ford calls for a crash vaccination program. Despite delays, a vaccine is made and a quarter of the U.S. population is inoculated. There were 25 deaths from a rare paralytic complication of the vaccination (Guillain-Barre syndrome). Nobody else died of swine flu, which never caused an epidemic.
1977 Mild Russian influenza epidemic occurs.
1983 The second HPAI outbreak occurs in the U.S. Caused by an H5N2 virus, it does not spread among humans. However, this severe poultry epidemic strikes chickens, turkeys and guinea fowl in Pennsylvania and Virginia. It is finally brought under control after the destruction of 17 million birds.
1988 Wiley, Wilson and Skehel determine the location of the antigenic sites on the hemagglutinin molecule by X-ray crystallography.
1996 HPAI H5N1 bird flu is isolated from a farmed goose in Guangdong, China.
May 1997 The first person known to catch H5N1 bird flu dies in Hong Kong. The virus has been causing an epidemic among poultry in the city.

Mid-2003 H5N1 bird flu spreads in Asia, but it is either undetected or unreported.
Dec. 2003 Tigers and leopards in a Thailand zoo die of H5N1 bird flu after eating fresh chickens. It's the first time bird flu has been seen in large felines.
Dec. 12, 2003 The sudden death of chickens at a farm in Eumsung district, near the capital city of Seoul, prompts suspicions of an epidemic of highly pathogenic avian influenza in the Republic of Korea.

In late 2013, Adams launched the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, where he conducts atomic spectroscopy research into food contaminants using high-end ICP-MS instrumentation. With this research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products to low levels by July 1, 2015.
In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition.

The Field of Honor — an event that is taking place in several cities nationwide to commemorate the 10th anniversary of 9/11 — kicked off its local ceremony with an escorted drive on Main Street Friday morning.
Roswell Field of Honor volunteer Rita Kane-Doerhoefer said Friday's event was not so much a parade as it was an escort ceremony in which members of the RPD escorted participants down Main Street.
The escorted drive ceremony included the New Mexico Patriot Guard motorcycle riders, local K-9 hero Sage and members of the Roswell police and Login to read more

Book Description
Unit test frameworks are a key element of popular development methodologies such as eXtreme Programming (XP) and Agile Development. But unit testing has moved far beyond eXtreme Programming; it is now common in many different types of application development. Unit tests help ensure low-level code correctness, reduce software development cycle time, improve developer productivity, and produce more robust software. Until now, there was little documentation available on unit testing, and most sources addressed specific frameworks and specific languages, rather than explaining the use of unit testing as a language-independent, standalone development methodology. This invaluable new book covers the theory and background of unit test frameworks, offers step-by-step instruction in basic unit test development, provides useful code examples in both Java and C++, and includes details on some of the most commonly used frameworks today from the XUnit family, including JUnit for Java, CppUnit for C++, and NUnit for .NET. Unit Test Frameworks includes clear, concise, and detailed descriptions of:
The theory and design of unit test frameworks
Examples of unit tests and frameworks
Different types of unit tests
Popular unit test frameworks
And more
It also includes the complete source code for CppUnit for C++, and NUnit for .NET.

Pros: Fast speeds
Able to run practically anything I throw at it
Good stability when clocked up
Cons: It has one major flaw though! And this is true of every AMD APU. It runs /HOT/.
You're most definitely going to require after market cooling for this bad boy.
The stock heatsink supplied with it is nowhere near powerful enough to keep it cool.
Other Thoughts: It's a pretty great processor, I haven't had any problems with it other than the temperature, and once I finished my cooling solution with it it became much, much more stable.READ FULL REVIEW

Adobe Creative Suite 3
Adobe InDesign CS3 : Multi-File Placement The Multi-file Placing cursor shows one of the six images I've loaded. Tapping the arrow keys cycles through the loaded items. When the preview shows the item you want to place, one click does the job.
52 / 81
Bottom Line
Just getting the former Macromedia programs integrated would have been a major achievement, but Adobe has also managed to give each program significant new features and functionality. I strongly recommend the terrific values found in the Creative Suite 3 packages for anyone involved in computer graphics.

The Iranian rulers love Chuck Hagel.
Iran's official English language propaganda outlet, Press TV, has suggested that President Obama picked the former U.S. senator from Nebraska to replace departing Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta to help craft a "grand bargain with Iran." You know, the type of deal that would cement in place the clerical dictatorship, spell the end of any hope for U.S. support to the pro-freedom movement, and allow Iran to continue enriching uranium with no verifiable limits.
Another publication has called Mr. Hagel's selection "a message of peace from the Obama administration to the Islamic Republic of Iran," and admiringly quoted Mr. Hagel as claiming sanctions on Iran "will only lead to U.S. isolation."
Here in the United States, the pro-Tehran lobby was quick to champion Mr. Hagel's cause. Trita Parsi, the president of the National Iranian American Council, argued that Mr. Hagel deserved support because he would oppose the "extremist pro-Likud circles who are seeking to establish a veto on U.S. national security policy."
Such language, of course, is just a scantily veiled variation of Mr. Hagel's own rant against "Jewish lobby" influence on U.S. politics.
Over the years, Mr. Hagel has developed an ongoing relationship with the American-Iranian Council, a precursor to the National Iranian American Council. Both groups oppose U.S. sanctions on Iran, support Iranian trade with U.S. businesses and promote unconditional U.S. negotiations with the Iranian regime over its nuclear program.
These are precisely the changes in U.S. policy that the Iranian regime is seeking. As a senator, Mr. Hagel was active in supporting all three.
In July 2001, Mr. Hagel was one of just two senators who opposed renewing the original Iran and Libya Sanctions Act. This was the initial effort by Congress to put pressure on the Iranian government by imposing sanctions on foreign energy companies investing in Iran's oil and gas sector.
Mr. Hagel's backers have claimed the senator only opposed unilateral U.S. sanctions. Yet Mr. Hagel's statements and actions both in the Senate and beyond suggest otherwise.
In June 2001 and again in March 2002, he addressed conferences sponsored by the American-Iranian Council in Washington to emphasize the need for the United States to abandon sanctions and open trade with Tehran.
From 2006 to 2008, he opposed numerous bills and resolutions that would have stepped up pressure on the Iranian regime, including an October 2006 measure calling on the European Union to join the United States in placing the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist group on its terrorism list.
In October 2008, he used a Senate privilege to single-handedly kill the Iran Counter-Proliferation Act —broad bipartisan legislation to extend U.S. sanctions and harmonize them with measures then in place worldwide as a result of United Nations Security Council resolutions — about as multilateral as you can get.
Rather than sanctions, Mr. Hagel has favored a policy of outreach, negotiation and accommodation with the Iranian government, regardless of its actions against the United States, its allies or its own people.
In May 2007 — less than one year after Hezbollah provoked a war in Lebanon at the instigation of Tehran — Mr. Hagel joined then-Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Sen. Arlen Specter in addressing a formal invitation to the speaker of the Islamic Republic's parliament to meet with U.S. officials.
Later that year, Mr. Hagel sent a private letter to President George W. Bush, urging him to engage in "direct talks" with Iran. The goal of such talks was to dispel the notion "that the United States' actual objective is regime change in Iran, not a change of Iran's behavior," Mr. Hagel wrote.
