Manta 7000 Headphones
"So, first of all you might be wondering why even bother reviewing a headphone that nobody knows about, has ever heard of, and most likely will never own or see in real life? Simply put, I think that this headphone deserves it. There are many of the 70's Pioneer clones, so it's good to give people an idea about them if there is any interest. Pros: - Aesthetics and construction are..." --GREQ

California Rep. Introduces Bill To Force NFL To Start Paying Cheerleaders Minimum Wage
A California state representative who is a former college cheerleader this week introduced legislation that would legally classify the state's NFL cheerleaders as employees, making them subject to state minimum wage and employment laws.
State Rep. Lorena Gonzalez (D), who cheered at Stanford University, introduced the legislation after a flurry of recent lawsuits from former NFL cheerleaders alleging that teams violated state and federal minimum wage laws. Former cheerleader Lacy T. filed the original lawsuit against the Oakland Raiders in January, alleging that the team paid her and other cheerleaders the equivalent of less than $5 per hour for cheering during games, practicing, and making required appearances at other events. The suit also asserted that the Raiders had violated overtime and other fair labor laws. NFL teams have classified cheerleaders as independent contractors, though the suits have disputed that classification.
"NFL teams and their billionaire owners have used professional cheerleaders as part of the game day experience for decades," Gonzalez said in a news release. "They have capitalized on their talents without providing even the most basic workplace protections like a minimum wage. If the guy selling you the beer deserves a minimum wage, so does the woman entertaining you on the field. All work is dignified and cheerleaders deserve the respect of these basic workplace protections."
After the Raiders suit, similar lawsuits followed against the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Those suits also alleged that cheerleaders were paid significantly less than state and federal minimum wages.
Lacy T. and other former cheerleaders involved in the Raiders lawsuit reached a $1.25 million settlement with the franchise in September that would compensate them for some lost wages. A judge has not yet granted the settlement final approval.
Another former Raiders cheerleader filed a separate class action suit against the team this week, the San Jose Mercury News reported. That suit alleges not only that the team failed to pay minimum wages but that it also prevented cheerleaders from taking advantage of media exposure opportunities that could have earned them other pay.
Cheerleaders have said in the lawsuits that in addition to not making the minimum wage, they often had to spend thousands of dollars of their own money on requirements for the job, including hair, makeup, and costumes. The suit against Buffalo also said that the cheerleaders were judged heavily on their appearance and were often subject to "jiggle tests" to make sure they met body requirements. They were often subject to fines for failing to meet certain requirements, according to the suits.
The Raiders said in July that they would pay current cheerleaders the California minimum wage during the 2014-2015 season. The other lawsuits are still ongoing.
California has been home to other wage theft claims in professional sports as well: in 2013, the Department of Labor ordered Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants to pay employees more than $545,000 in backwages for violating minimum wage and overtime laws.

Be prepared for blow up earnings. From 25 cars to spectacular 67 per week.
Gotta love the bubble rides from TSLA. TSLA market cap is beyond reason, wait till dilution arrives and this junk will be where it should $35 AT BEST. Than you buy for the bubble ride, just in case you feel is too late to hop in on the FB one.
so be it, you will miss the $500 per share coming. Market cap don't mean nothing.

Product Description
From Library Journal
Vacationing on the island of Antigua, New York investigator/lawyer Stone Barrington (a Woods perennial) gives up on the warm waters of the Caribbean to help someone who's definitely in hot water?a young woman accused of murder when her wealthy husband disappears from their yacht during a transatlantic crossing.
Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Booklist
Millionaire author Paul Phillips Manning died on board his yacht while on a Caribbean cruise with his sexy young wife, Allison. She claims he had a heart attack, and due to the climate and distance from port, she was forced to dispose of the body at sea. Sir Winston Sutherland, the minister of justice on the tiny island of St. Marks, isn't buying it and charges her with homicide. The trial and the execution could both be completed within a week. Vacationing New York lawyer and investigator Stone Barrington comes to the damsel's aid and soon winds up in her bed. Now in his fourth appearance, the suave and priapic Barrington soon finds himself embroiled in a case in which nothing is as it seems, from Allison's story to Manning's death to the agenda of the Charles Laughton^-like Sir Winston Sutherland. This is a cleverly plotted, witty crime caper with a dash of sex, a likably roguish hero, and a surprising twist at the finish. Great for lightweight summer reading.

Allison Manning, young wife of millionaire writer Paul Manning, arrives in St. Marques under mysterious circumstances - her husband is missing from their yacht. Her story is that he died from a heart attack and was buried at sea. What follows are the quick paced details as she is charged with murder, investigated by police and the Ministry of Justice, and defended by a vacationing American attorney. Many questions arise, such as did she kill her husband and was he even dead at all. I found my opinion quickly changing as new elements were introduced into the plot. One exciting factor is the setting - the court system is far different on this tropical island compared to the American courts. In America, she would have never been charged. In St. Marques, she is facing an uphill battle.
The part of the book that faltered was the trial itself. The evidence and testimonies had been thoroughly researched and presented to the reader throughout the rest of the book, so the majority of the trial was repetitious. Fortunately, Woods managed to throw a few new details into the trial, and the pace of the remainder of the book resumed. Some of the conversations sounded a bit stilted, but most of the dialog was snappy and well-written. The ending of the story appears to be leading to a sequel, but at least he didn't resort to including the first three chapters of his next novel, a cheap trick so many other authors seem to resort to these days.
I wish I hadn't.
To put it bluntly, this book reeks. It stinks. To call the storyline improbable, as another... reviewer did, is to be kind. Mr. Woods has no idea how to plot, so instead he aims for a laughable and artificial breathlessness in his prose that wears thin after a few chapters. I'm also puzzled to see other reviewers praise his "snappy dialogue." The dialogue in this book was the worst I've ever read: "Hello, Tom," said Stone. "Why, hello, Stone," said Tom.
That's "snappy"?
Why even document these sort of mundane banalities? I've read better dialogue in the "plays" my six-year-old niece writes, and she churns out thousands per year! One would think that Mr. Woods, a "professional" writer who must produce only a single book per year, could do better, but instead we get insipid and unrealistic exchanges like the following: "You're man enough for any woman, Stone," said Allison. "Why, thank you, Allison," grinned Stone.
Has this conversation ever taken place in the history of human interaction? I think not.
I could go on, but merely thinking about "Dead in the Water" has begun to nauseate me. Suffice it to say that I won't be reading any more Stuart Woods novels, and I urge other intelligent and discerning readers to save their money, too. What's most puzzling to me, though, is how this drivel ever got published in the first place. The back jacket informs us that Mr. Woods is a New York City area attorney, and I smell connections--along with the reeking stench of "Dead in the Water."
Stone immediately takes pity on Allison and agrees to represent her; however, since he is not qualified to try a case in the British legal system, she is also represented by an aging local barrister. The bizarre legal system assumes that she is guilty, and the penalty is death by hanging, so the stakes are very high. The local authorities are also corrupt and are eager to make an example of her. Stone knows that the case must receive lots of public attention in order to focus the eyes of the world on the grave injustice about to be done, so he calls a press conference and obtains exclusive interviews with "60 Minutes" and other news shows.
Right from the beginning, there are plenty of reasons to doubt Allison's motives and alibi, and Stone pursues some independent investigation into her background. He also falls head over heels "in lust" with her and they spend most of their time together in bed.
There are plenty of plot twists and surprises right up until the end of the book, and just when you think you've got it figured out a new angle surfaces. You'll be kept in suspense until the end of this entertaining, interesting novel.

Background and aims
Stroke is widely recognized as the major contributor to morbidity and mortality in the United Kingdom. We analyzed the data obtained from the three consecutive Scottish Health Surveys and the Scottish Morbidity records, with the aim of identifying risk factors for, and timing of, common poststroke complications.
There were 19434 individuals sampled during three Scottish Health Surveys in 1995, 1998, and 2001. For these individuals their morbidity and mortality outcomes were obtained in 2007. Incident stroke prevalence, risk factors for a range of poststroke complications, and average times until such complications in the sample were established.
Of the total of 168 incident stroke admissions (0·86% of the survey), 16·1% people died during incident stroke hospitalization. Of the remaining 141 stroke survivors, 75·2% were rehospitalized at least once. The most frequent reason for readmission after stroke was a cardiovascular complication (28·6%), median time until event 1412 days, followed by infection (17·3%, median 1591 days). The risk of cardiovascular readmission was higher in those with 'poor' self-assessed health (odds ratio 7·70; 95% confidence interval 1·64–43·27), smokers (odds ratio 4·24; 95% confidence interval 1·11–21·59), and doubled with every five years increase in age (odds ratio 1·97; 95% confidence interval 1·46–2·65). 'Poor' self-assessed health increased chance of readmission for infection (odds ratio 14·11; 95% confidence interval 2·27–276·56).
Cardiovascular events and infections are the most frequent poststroke complications resulting in readmissions. The time period until event provides a possibility to focus monitoring on those people at risk of readmission and introduce preventative measures, thereby reducing readmission-associated costs.

|Re: Defining NamedArgs for WP7 Plugin
|Fri, 13 Jul 2012 05:36:24 GMT
This is a difficulty of the current system, the current command patch/map for the common-js is waiting for other platforms to implement named args. in the meantime, passing an arg of [{key:val,...}] will make it thru as a json object on all platforms. In iOS land I recommend you use the mutable dictionary and not the tempting but brittle mutable array.

Dramatic advances in computer and communication technologies have made it economically feasible to extend the use of embedded computer systems to more and more critical applications. At the same time, these embedded computer systems are becoming more complex and distributed. As the bulk of the complex application-specific logic of these systems is realized by software, the need for certifying software systems has grown substantially. While relatively mature techniques exist for certifying hardware systems, methods of rigorously certifying software systems are still being actively researched. Possible certification methods for embedded software systems range from formal verification to statistical testing. These methods have different strengths and weaknesses and can be used to complement each other. One potentially useful approach is to decompose the specification into distinct aspects that can be independently certified using the method that is most effective for it. Even though substantial-research has been carried out to reduce the complexity of the software system through decomposition, one major hurdle is the need to certify the overall system on the basis of the aspect properties. One way to address this issue is to focus on architectures in which the aspects are relatively independent of each other. However, complex embedded systems are typically comprised of multiple architectures. We present an alternative approach based on the use of application-oriented-frameworks for implementing embedded systems. We show that it is possible to design such frameworks for embedded applications and derive expressions for determining the system reliability from the reliabilities of the framework and the aspects. The method is illustrated using a distributed multimedia collaboration system.

Your real complaint seems to be with the nature of the game itself--it sounds like you want a loot system like World of Warcraft, where you put in X amount of hardcore effort on some quest-chain to get an instant BiS item. Well, this isn't that type of game. Welcome to RNGville, population everyone-who-likes-action-RPGs.
(Feel free to chime back with "No way, I hate World of Warcraft!", but it doesn't change the nature of the loot system that Diablo 1 & 2 established.)
Diablo 3 loot is vastly more random than Diablo 2 loot. For one thing, D2 uniques had no random properties, so were much more consistently good than D3 uniques. The only variation was attribute ranges, and even those were much tighter than ranges in D3. E.g. D3 oculus can roll 33-484 max damage, meaning a good roll is 10 times as good as a bad roll. For another, D2 had lots of ways for you to build exactly the item you needed, such as upgrading exceptional-grade to elite-grade items with the cube, or runewords, or other cube recipes.
Also, compare the D2 version of the uber-boss quest to the D3 version. In the D2 version, you were guaranteed a unique charm with guaranteed useful stats. In the D3 version, you have a random chance of getting part of what you need to craft the hellfire ring, and when you do craft it, you get a ring with mostly random attributes, which mostly is going to be worth little.
Let me try to estimate the chance of rolling a valuable hellfire ring, neglecting the useless proc and the 35% exp gain, since the usefulness of that depends a lot on who you ask. (Personally, I want to maximize my character's current power, not future power, so increased exp gain is only marginally useful.) Then the ring counts as having 2 useful properties (since 170-200 to a stat is basically like rolling 2 useful stat properties), and 4 random properties (which roll at ilvl 62, compared to ilvl 63 for all other rings which drop in inferno under MP in 1.05). Rings with 2-3 useful properties are worth about 5-10k on the auction house, i.e. worthless. On a hellfire ring, you really need at least 2 of your 4 random properties to roll affixes people actually look for on rings (i.e. damage, crit damage, crit chance, attack speed, all resist, vitality, or life on hit) or it's basically trash, and even then it's only comparable to a 1-2 million gold AH ring. With 36 possible properties, your chance of getting at least 2 of the 7 useful properties is 15%. The chance of getting at least 3 is 2%. And even if you roll the right random attributes, you still need good rolls so you don't wind up with something like +17 life on hit.
For someone who is already using a ring worth a few million gold and who doesn't want to trade power for increased exp gain (like me), there's a 98% chance any hellfire ring I craft will be worse than the rings I'm currently using. I'm already planning to buy new rings to upgrade once 1.05 goes live and improves the affixes on dropped rings, since my rings are really not that great.
From where I'm standing, the hellfire ring quest reward seems pretty lame, since it's far too random to be a good reward for how much time you have to put in to farm it (especially if you can't farm MP10, and have to farm ingredients in lower monster powers where there's only a chance of getting keys/ingredients to drop). Compared to D2 where the similar quest guaranteed a good drop, and it's no wonder that people are frustrated. Since it's BoP, unique equipped, and rolls affixes at ilvl 62 (compared to ilvl 63 for other inferno ring drops in 1.05) Blizzard could easily take out some of the randomness by replacing 1-2 of the random affixes with guaranteed useful affixes without significantly affecting the economy or giving the ring automatic-BiS status.

Significant amounts of research have established that tea, including black, green, and white tea, has many intriguing health benefits, including anti-aging. Dozens of studies point to tea's potent antioxidant as well as anticarcinogenic properties. [1]
The Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology (December 31, 2001) stated that the polyphenols "are the active ingredients in green tea and possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties. [2]
Green tea and the other teas (e.g., white tea, which is what green tea begins as) show a good deal of promise for skin, but they are not the miracle that cosmetics and health food companies make them out to be. Most researchers agree that tea (black, green, or white) has potent anti-inflammatory properties and that it is a potent antioxidant whether consumed orally or applied topically. [3,4,5] Current research also indicates that epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), green tea's active component, can prevent collagen breakdown and reduce UV damage to skin, which is a very good reason to use skincare products that contain one or more forms of tea. [6]

Product Description
About the Author
Joseph C. Rattz, Jr., unknowingly began his career in software development in 1990 when a friend asked him for assistance writing an ANSI text editor named ANSI Master for the Commodore Amiga. A hangman game (the Gallows) soon followed. From these compiled BASIC programs, he moved on to programming in C for more speed and power. Joe then developed applications that were sold to JumpDisk, an Amiga disk magazine, as well as Amiga World magazine. Due to developing in a small town on a fairly isolated platform, Joe learned all the wrong ways to write code. It was while trying to upgrade his poorly written applications that he gained respect for the importance of easily maintainable code. It was love at first sight when Joe spotted a source-level debugger in use for the first time. Two years later, Joe obtained his first software development opportunity at Policy Management Systems Corporation as an entry level programmer developing a client/server insurance application for OS/2 and Presentation Manager. Through the years, he added C++, Unix, Java, ASP, ASP.NET, C#, HTML, DHTML, and XML to his skill set, while developing applications for SCT, DocuCorp, IBM, and the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games, CheckFree, NCR, EDS, Delta Technology, Radiant Systems, and the Genuine Parts Company. Joe enjoys the creative aspects of user interface design, and he appreciates the discipline necessary for server-side development. But, given his druthers, his favorite development pastime is debugging code. Joe can be found working for the Genuine Parts Company the parent company of NAPA in the Automotive Parts Group Information Systems department, where he works on his baby, the storefront web site. This site for NAPA provides the stores a view into their accounts and data on a network of AS/400s.

LINQ to objects
LINQ to XML
LINQ to Datasets
LINQ to SQL
The book is well written and gets straight to the task of teaching and explaining LINQ. There's no extraneous padding on beginner level topics such as explaining C# (again), ADO (again), Enumerators (again) etc as so often happens.
By the end of the book I'd got LINQ nailed and have begun to use it proficiently and efficiently.
If you only buy one book on LINQ this year, then this is the one.
Good Book
The goal of the author was to start with code and end with code and he managed to do it. It wasn't just simple examples, sometimes they were very advanced, and he explained them very well.
I loved everything about this book and I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn LINQ, and everyone should. So, what are you waiting for? Go get this book!
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
Overall I found this to be a very good book but it has a few flaws. If like me you are interested in LINQ for a current or upcoming database project here is what I would suggest. First don't start with this book, finish with it. Start with the ten excellent screencasts by Mike Taulty. Then read this book. Your reading will go much faster and you'll get a satisfyingly sated feeling. The author will probably hate me for saying this, but if you already know SQL or ADO.NET 2.0, I would suggest reading Chapters 1-3, then skim 4 and 5 just to get an overview of the operators available. Then read part 5 (Chapters 12-18) on LINQ to SQL. After you digest that I would suggest whichever topics interest you the most, then I would finish with a more thorough read of Chapters 4 and 5 on Deferred and Nondeffered operators, which in my mind are really a thoroughly documented reference section.
The reason the author will hate that, is he doesn't want readers to use LINQ for just database purposes, and he states that many times in the book. In fact, I think that is why he put the LINQ to SQL section at the end. However, he seems to have made a significant effort to make any part readable on its own, so I see no problem with skipping to the end so early.
The book doesn't really cover data binding, but there is a lot of good information on that available on the internet (the above mentioned screencasts show some of them, and an overly long video on Channel 9 with Young Joo from August 2007 shows even more).
I also have a few nit-picky things that drove me crazy. The most significant one being the amount of repetition and unedited console output. I was also none too happy that the author didn't mention that the Visual Studio Command prompt was under the START menu not an IDE menu. But then again without the author I wouldn't even have known there was a Visual Studio 2008 command prompt.
The weakest part of the book is the index, it is downright anemic. In the several weeks since I've finised the book the index has NEVER helped me find things I remember reading. If you find items of interest you better pencil them into the back cover if you want to find them again later. If one book ever needed a free PDF, this one is it, but they charge $10 for it. Maybe that is why they made the index so bad, to encourage you to fork over another $10.
That said, I also found a good half-dozen or so gems in the book that saved me significant time. Now I could tell you what those are but I think you should buy the book to find out.
The book covers every feature of Linq in great detail, but one of my favorite parts of the book is chapter on the C# 3.0 Language features and other parts of the book that show how to take advantage of the Linq language features in everyday application code.
The author goes into great detail in every part of the of the book. The author also has a great companion site that is being updated with the latest new features coming out, like LINQ to XSD.
The accompanying code is very usable and well organized.
The only thing lacking would not be a legitimate complaint, since the authors claim code level detail and not architectural level guidance, but I will mention it anyway. I would have like to have seen more guidance on architecture and how Linq fits into the big picture. That is not covered, but like I said, they didn't claim to, so I can't ding them. The point of the comment.... 2nd edition ...hint, hint.....
If you want to get into the guts of Linq, this book is definitely for you. I highly recommend it for every .NET 3.5 programmer.
Upon further research I discovered that LINQ is actually quite a bit more than just "another ORM", in fact, I would say it is one of the more interesting things from Microsoft lately.
The book Pro LINQ does a very good job of covering this new technology, and it does so in a way that you would expect for a "Professional" level book.
For example, I found it immediately appealing that Chapter 1 starts with a code example before ever getting to any regular text. The rest of the book follows suit. There are plenty of explanations, but sometimes seeing the code & result provides the clearest view.
The author does a good job of explaining the technology in detail, why it is useful, and very practical tips on how to make the most of it. The book covers using LINQ to query Objects, XML, DataSets and finally SQL.
I have used the book as an introduction to the topic, and for that it has done an excellent job. It appears that the book is comprehensive enough to also serve as a working reference book, but I have not personally had the chance to use it as such yet.
I've spent a fair amount of time researching LINQ and even played with it somewhat. This book would be great for those who at least know the basics of LINQ and what its purpose is. I honestly can't think of a topic about LINQ that was not addressed in some detail in this book. The writing was complete with lots of examples to illustrate the points. An earlier reviewer has said they "stopped at chapter 4" because of the lack of detailed query language syntax descriptions BUT I don't understand because there is an exhaustive definition of the language in chapter 2. I think their 1 star review was unfair and borderline malicious.
Until something comes along better, this would be my pick for the best LINQ book on the market.

Advising Right Now: Finals and the End of Term
- Final examinations will be held from May 16-May 20.
Your advisees should check the Final Examination Schedule to find out when and where final exams will be held. The Registrar's Office contacts students if they have a scheduling conflict between two or more final exams.
Remind your advisees to check the Final Examination Schedule ahead of time and then again prior to finals week to make sure there have not been any changes. This will give students enough time to plan their studies without undue stress.
The MIT Center for Academic Excellence (ACADEX) offers extensive information on effective test-taking strategies including details on how to approach final exams, developing a study plan, tackling different styles of tests, and managing test anxiety.
End of Term Processes
At the end of each term, the Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) reviews the performance of all undergraduates. Freshmen who pass 39 or fewer units of credit receive special consideration by the Committee on Academic Performance, which evaluates each student's situation on an individual basis.
If any of your advisees do not pass one or more full subjects, they may be reviewed by the Committee on Academic Performance for possible end of term action. Details on these processes can be found on the Class of 2019 site.

Alcoholics Anonymous: The "One Day At A Time" Calendar
We developed a traditional calendar, but with one difference: each page of the calendar represents a single day, and not an entire month. And instead of showing 30 days, each box displays one hour of that day. So what seemed to be just another regular calendar, became a daily reminder of the AA motto: "Take it one day at a time". The calendars were distributed amongst members and supporters of Alcoholics Anonymous Brazil.

It's called alcoholics anonymous - not very anonymous when that's sitting on your desk.
You're right, but it's so subtle I believe not too many people will recognize it unless you get up real close.
My initial impression is as per Stendzenieks.
But if the research is done and suggests that people will find it useful, then fair enough...
but seriously, is this calendar for real? it looks too thin to be an annual calendar as that would be 365 pages, so over 180 leaves. A monthly would be 15 sheets. Am curious to know what you guys actually handed out. Good idea, anyway!

General Information
June 2012
By: Eswar Prasad and Karim Foda
Editor's Note: In collaboration with the Financial Times (FT), Eswar Prasad and Karim Foda of Brookings have developed a set of composite indexes which track the global economic recovery. The Financial Times has produced the Tracking Indexes for the Global Economic Recovery (TIGER) interactive map, which appears on the Financial Times Web site.
In the lead-up to the G20 summit in Los Cabos, the June 2012 Brookings Institution-FT TIGER update shows that this stop-and-go global recovery has stalled once again.
The engines of world growth are running out of steam while the trailing wagons are going off the rails. Emerging market economies are facing sharp slowdowns in growth while many advanced economies slip into recession as political gridlock has hurt confidence and stunted the effectiveness of macroeconomic policies.
The updated interactive map below displays how fast individual G-20 economies are faring in global economic recovery. Underneath the map, links to updated key indicators display how fast those indicators are recovering for advanced economies, emerging markets and a composite total.
Click on an individual country in the map to view charts for the main TIGER indexes for that country and charts for the indicators that make up the indexes, which are broken down by real activity, financial and confidence indicators.
As well as tracking country performance, the TIGER indexes also track the performance of key indicators across groups of advanced economies, emerging markets and a composite total. Click on the following links to view the updated charts for the following key indicators:
For detailed information on the composition and construction of the indexes and a comprehensive description of the data and source information, please refer to the updated technical appendix.

Hi, I'm new to CSS and HTML and am currently working on my first site. I'm fairly happy with the layout but there's one thing I'd like to fix up:
I've set the left and right margins of the central container div to a fixed 100 pixels, and the container fills the rest of the space. Therefore when I resize the browser window, the div shrinks and the content re-arranges until the div gets to the width of the header image, which is what I want.
What I now want when I shrink the window further is for the margins to start collapsing or shrinking, both at once with the content centred in between, rather than the window closing over the right margin and then the rest of the page.
In case it helps, the site's http://apophysalien.110mb.com
I hope the description's clear. Thanks in advance for your help.
