SA boys claim Sevens gold at Australian Youth Olympics
• SA girls finish fourth in debut tournament
The South African Under-18 men's team won the Sevens gold medal at the 2013 Australian Youth Olympic Festival in Sydney on Saturday morning (SA time) after defeating host nation Australia 22-7 in the final.
Earlier in the day the SA U18 Women's team finished in a credible fourth position after losing their bronze medal playoff match 27-0 against Japan, while Tonga was awarded bronze in the men's division following their 26-0 win over Japan.
In the men's final, South Africa scored two tries in each half through Duhan van der Merwe, Lungelo Gosa, Warrick Gelant and Ryan Oosthuizen while Harry Jones crossed over for Australia's only converted try in the first half. SA led 12-7 at halftime.
Marius Schoeman, the SA U18 team manager and assistant coach, said the SA boys' willingness to implement their game plan was a key factor in their successful gold medal onslaught. "The boys worked extremely hard, they were really eager to listen and to implement the game plan and a lot of credit must go to coach Neil Powell and his management for the team's very thorough preparation.
"It was an excellent team effort from everyone involved and we can be proud of the boy's efforts," added Schoeman, a former Blitzbokke veteran.
Rugby Sevens is one of 17 sports at the 2013 Australian Youth Olympic Festival taking place in Sydney from 16 – 20 January.
The Australian Youth Olympic Festival takes place every four years and features 17 sports, with Rugby Sevens enjoying its first year of competition this year.
The Rugby Sevens tournament featured eight nations on both the men's and the women's side of the competition with a total 192 athletes who travelled to Sydney for the event.
Earlier in the day the South African boys stormed into the final with a comprehensive 68-0 win over Japan.
The SA Under-18 Women's team can be pleased with their fourth position in their first international outing after they lost their bronze medal match against Japan.
In their first outing of the day, the girls produced a brave performance in their 14-17 quarter-final loss against Japan. They were however rewarded for their efforts by securing a semi-final spot as the best losing qualifier.
Hosts Australia won this semi-final clash 38-7 to clinch a final spot, which meant SA had to play Japan for a third time in two days, this time for the bronze medal.
Denver Wannies, the SA U18 Women coach, said afterwards he was pleased with the overall performance of the team in their debut overseas tournament.
"Many of the girls have not even travelled beyond their home provinces and for them to come to Australia and be in contention for a bronze medal is amazing. If you take into account that we had a 15 year-old and mostly 16 year-old girls in our squad, then it is clear that we have the basis of a promising squad for the future," said Wannies.
The teams return to South Africa on Monday morning.
The SA Under-18 Sevens squads are:
Men: Lungelo Gosa (Border), EW Viljoen, Marius Louw (both Free State), Matjikinyane Molapo (Limpopo), Willandre Kotzenberg (Pumas), Warrick Gelant, Duhan van der Merwe, Dewald Human (all South Western Districts), Gerhardus Labuschagne (Valke), Ryan Oosthuizen, TJ Goddard, Dennis Cox (all Western Province).
Women: Ntsako Faith Tshauke (Blue Bulls), Micaela Witbooi, Kirsten Conrad (both Boland), Lusanda Dumke, Simamkele Namba, Asisipho Dotwana (all Border), Bonakele Sibiya (Golden Lions), Mandy Mhlongo (KwaZulu-Natal), Christal Williams, Atheana Botha (both South Western Districts), Kimico Manuel, Tatum Daniels (both Western Province).

this is a report from SARU, will wait for them to confirm.
The squad is wrong. EW Viljoen (Grey College) was ill and didn't participate in the tournament. Jurie Linde of Affies replaced him.

Lately (I first noticed it yesterday evening) the "world" icon has not been appearing over the network icon on the task bar, and, when I go to the Network and Sharing Center the connection to "the world" is Xed out.
But the network seems to work just fine.
I get this symptom both at home (both WiFi and hardwired) and at work, on two entirely different networks.
I've tried explicitly stopping and restarting the network adapter, in addition to doing "repair".
When I do "diagnose" it comes up with the message "Connections to webpages are currently being redirected to a different webpage", and it instructs me to click to open the web page. But when I do it takes me to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx.
The only thing I know of is that I was mucking around yesterday trying to get a connection to our office's private Outlook account, and probably visited that page in the process. But I did nothing (that I know of) that should have caused a "redirection".
Note that the symptom is external to any browser, though I use Firefox mostly.
Here is the "Xed" connection:
Here is the reply from "diagnose":
Any idea as to the cause of this peculiar symptom?

Cher Lloyd is growing up. The British pop singer, who became a UK star after placing fourth in "The X Factor" three years ago, is ready to take a step forward with her forthcoming second album, "Sorry I'm Late."
"I want to go for it with this one," Lloyd said. "Past singles have been with another artist and myself. I feel like it's time I go out on my own. You can't do the same thing over and over again. I think I've matured with this one."
Well, Lloyd might be going in a different direction, but she caused a commotion last summer with the release of the catchy single, "It's All Good," which featured a collaboration with Ne-Yo. The song was created in a unique fashion, via social media submissions.
"I was surprised by how many (submissions) came in," Lloyd said. "They were all unique. Working with Ne-Yo made it easy. He's one of the best songwriters around. We ended up with a great song. It was a fun collaboration."
But Lloyd, 20, is aiming for independence. Her career is moving along rapidly. The elegant but sexy singer initially hit the top of the UK charts with the single "Swagger Jagger" in July 2011.
"That was an amazing start," Lloyd said. "You can't do any better than that. That song laid the groundwork for everything."
The follow-up "With Ur Love," which features Mike Posner, went Top 5 in the UK.
"It was great doing so well at home, but everyone looks to the States," Lloyd said. "That's where you can't help but focus on."
Count on quite a few dates in America for Lloyd after "Sorry I'm Late" drops in late May. For the time being, she is doing some shows with Demi Lovato and headlining some clubs.
"I'm just trying to do whatever I can to keep the momentum going," Lloyd said. "I have some opportunity, and I'm trying to make the best of it."
The lyrically and conversationally outspoken performer scored some attention for the line "I wish I woke up with a butt and a rack" on the single "I Wish."
"I was just being honest," Lloyd said. "A lot of girls have that wish, and so why not say it? It's just how I felt. I think it's important to be open and honest and maybe most important, real."
The exotic Lloyd loves her tattoos.
"They're important to me," Lloyd said. "I put great thought into it before I ever put ink to my skin. Tattoos have to have meaning. Mine have meaning. Tattoos are how people express themselves. But I'll say this, since I have such a young audience: You need to be old enough to get a tattoo and when you do get one, make sure it's something you'll want on your skin forever. For the younger fans, it's probably best to focus on the music and not the tattoos."
Lloyd has been fortunate enough to be tabbed by the aforementioned Lovato and Taylor Swift as a support act.
"It's been surreal," Lloyd said. "They're both incredible artists and people. I loved the experience, but I'm stepping out on my own."

Hi, Kayla.mcgeorge. I see that you have been making unnecessary subheadings on articles, and I have approached you to ask you to stop doing this.

I'm concerned because I made some corrections of inaccurate information on the Adolescent sexuality page, as well as the Adolescence webpage, but these corrections were deleted. I understand I made subheadings that were not necessary (this is my first day on this - I am doing this for a class project). I really do want the information to be accurate so I ask for whoever completely changed what I did to please understand that I made other changes as well, besides subheadings that I truly believe are helpful and important. I will be editing the page further to add other information. I'm concerned about this and would like help. Kayla.mcgeorge (talk) 01:08, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

- The Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle empowered your original changes, but for those that have been reverted, you should now proceed to discussion, preferably at the article talk pages. Your reversion at Adolescence prompts me to warn you of Wikipedia:Edit warring; even if you do not exceed the 3 revert-rule within 24 hours, repeated reversions to undiscussed changes may be seen as Wikipedia:Disruptive editing, which may result in Blocking or Banning. Subheadings had already been discussed on the talk page and rejected as unnecessary. Self-referential phrases including 'For more complete information on how socialization and gender affect adolescent sexuality, please visit the main article: Adolescent sexuality.' should be reduced to the Template:Main format. Do not remove sourced content without consensus. Drafting whole articles in sandboxes is fine, as moving them preserves the required editing history and license, but cut-and-paste page moves do not, and are therefore not allowed. Dru of Id (talk) 02:14, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Editors are permitted to reorganize content, sections, tables, etc., but should check talk page discussions before doing so. See Help:Edit summary; edit summaries help other editors follow the changes you are making, especially when reorganizing; the comparison shows where it was removed and added, but is not yet dynamic enough to show directly that it was moved, which I now see is what you did. Your reversion at Adolescence removed a 'Citation needed' template, although it is still unclear whether that was for Albert Bandura alone or also for Margaret Mead. Cut and pasting is fine for portions, but not to overwrite an article. Dru of Id (talk) 03:24, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Sun Safety: Save Your Skin
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA)
Some tanning sprays contain DHA, a color additive that interacts with the dead surface cells in the outermost layer of the skin, to darken skin color. It is commonly used in "sunless tanning" lotions, creams, and spray-on products.
DHA is approved by the FDA for use in coloring the skin, but it is limited to external application. The industry has not provided safety data to the FDA to consider approving it for other uses, such as applying it to your lips or the area of your eyes, or inhaling it. Therefore, the risks, if any, are unknown. The FDA recommends that if you visit a spray tanning salon, take precautions to protect your eyes and lips and avoid inhaling the spray.
Some tanning products on the market do not contain sunscreen. The FDA requires these products to carry a warning statement.
Check for Skin Cancer
Check your skin regularly for signs of skin cancer. Look for changes in the size, shape, color or feel of birthmarks, moles and spots. If you find any changes or find sores that are not healing, see your doctor.
For more information about topics for your health, visit the FDA Consumer Information Center.

Watch The New Trailer About The Most Dangerous Race In The World
In Loving Memory, the new film on the Isle of Man TT, the deadliest race in the world, is so good that it deserves another trailer.
In Loving Memory, the new film on the Isle of Man TT, the deadliest race in the world, is so good that it deserves another trailer.
The Isle Of Man TT has claimed over 200 lives, yet riders keep showing up and the race keeps going. Many of us wonder how it's all allowed to continue. This film, In Loving Memory, looks at the why.
Chris Kippenberger, the most interesting man in car porn, is on a tiny island in the Irish Sea right now. He's got some of the best shooters in the world, and he's making a film on perhaps the most recklessly, incomprehensibly dangerous motor race on Earth: the Isle of Man TT.
You're looking at BMW's self-drifting BMW M235i. What's interesting about it isn't that it can do perfect circle donuts, but that it proves something reassuring about driverless cars.
What Heidi Hetzer has already achieved in her 77 years is incredible — she raced against the best in the middle of the 20th century, and she ran a major car dealership when many thought it'd be impossible. Today she set off for a two-year trip around the world.
Ever wondered how much power the Bentley Mulsanne has on tap? Here you go. It's enough to absolutely consume its rear tires.
The loop, the Autobahn that takes you to 300, starts with a street always clogged with traffic.
Studio Kippenberger isn't just where Chris Kippenberger makes his videos, it's where he and his team build their aerial camera rigs, develop their carbon fiber gimbals, and, uh, park their Ferraris.
This is a 1981 Porsche 911, but it doesn't look like one. That's because it has been backdated — stripped, rebodied, and tuned into one of the most distinctive Porsches in the world.
Christopher Kippenberger: the Most Interesting Man in Car Porn, the Terry Richardson of car videos, the King of the Drones. This is what happens when you lend him a $410,000 Bentley Mulsanne.
This is the new promotional video (and outstanding illustrations) for the 2014 Mercedes S-Class and it all makes no sense. But that's okay. Here's why.
Chris Kippenberger has an impressive resume: he's helped make music videos for Ridley Scott Associates. He worked behind the scenes in the adult industry. He's built his own drones. So how exactly did he end up making some of the prettiest car videos online?
You'd think that the head of design at Bugatti would have some kind of über complex hypercar as personal ride. Nope, it's a back-to-basics Porsche 911, one of the cleanest builds we've ever seen.
A lot of the greatest car designers are kept far from the public eye. Now you get to meet two of the most out-there innovators working today, responsible in part for why all of your friends want to drive BMW and Volkswagens.
Say hello to Curtis. He's nine. He races karts in Germany and he is going to explain how grip works in "Kart Kids," the newest short from Kippenberger.
In case you haven't noticed, the Nürburgring is a little busy these days. There are the public Touristenfarhten, the regular endurance races, and the busy manufacturer testing schedules. What to do but build a whole new racetrack?

Retail sector saw record business failures in 2009
Business failures in the retail sector last year hit record levels not seen since the 90s recession, according to the latest Industry Watch report by accountants and business advisors, BDO LLP and the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR)
Rising unemployment and low consumer confidence that is further suppressed high street spending, meant around 3,600 retail businesses went to the wall in 2009.
Don Williams, Head of Retail at BDO LLP explained: "Failures were depressingly high in 2009 but they have hit their peak and the good news is that we will finally see a fall in 2010."
The BDO figures indicate that retail business failures will decrease by 8% year on year in 2010. This is significantly slower than the 14% decline in business failures expected for the economy as a whole as retailers face headwinds from rising inflation, increasing mortgage costs and low earnings growth.
Consumers have shown remarkable resilience in the face of the recession in 2009. Retail spending has held up unexpectedly well throughout the downturn; the Office of National Statistics data shows that during 2009 retail sales volumes were up 1.0 % year-on-year.
Although worryingly high, retail business failures in 2009 rose less than widely expected as consumer spending held up well. However, many retailers have paid the price by heavy discounting which has left profit margins painfully thin.
In future, stabilising unemployment will likely support consumer spending in 2010, driving down insolvencies with 3,335 business failures expected in 2010, reducing to 3,269 in 2011. However, wage growth is likely to remain historically low and tight consumer credit will also contribute to a sluggish decrease in business failures.
Williams concluded: "Headwinds in the form of high inflation and rising mortgage costs will mean that retailers will continue to struggle. While we expect insolvencies to decline from the record peak seen in 2009 they will stay elevated for some time."
According to BDO's latest Industry Watch covering all business sectors a number of factors have worked in tandem to mitigate the worst impact on business during this downturn:
1,600 – 2,000 corporate business failures were avoided thanks to the 'time to pay' scheme that offers struggling businesses the chance to defer tax payments and was refined in the March Budget.
Between 3,600 – 4,900 business failures were prevented due to falling mortgage and interest costs which boosted disposable income and corporate profitability.
Between 800 and 1,050 business failures were avoided due to the impact that the reduction in VAT had on consumer spending.

Pros great look , good in mileage,brilliant work in head light,LEDs looks great
Cons i havn't got any .
its one of the finest car i ever seen.its beautyful.
Pros gr8 looks, gr8 features, gr8 performance
Cons Average fuel economy
Audi A4 is a much better car than BMW 3s. It not only has more features ( auto-hold brake, auto-handbrake, front parking sensors, quattro - all-wheel-drive, etc. ) , powerful engine ( 3.2L, 265 BHP, 0-100kmh in 6.1 sec.) as compared to BMW ( 1.8L, around 170 BHP, o-100kmh in 8sec.)....also has daytime running LEDs... truly awesome car-AUDI A4...
Pros Awesome features & Super sharp styling & Sound System...
Cons Poor mileage but totally worth it!
There's nothing I look forward to more than to get behind the wheel of this awesome piece of machinery. Looks are young and sharp! With the daytime LEDs stealing the attention no matter the venue... Drive Select is superb - get the smooth comfort of Merc & the tight sports handling of a Beamer all at the flick of a switch. By far the best feature for city driving & traffic is the Break Assist - so no need to keep your foot on the breaks any more in traffic or at a red light. The B&O Sound System is 'killer'!!! Only 3 things to watch out for - 1st poor mileage, but worth the compromise for effortless power @ 260 BHP!!! 2nd - it's a very low car so be aware of road conditions and speed breakers & 3rd, be careful for the blind spot! Nothing comes so close to perfection!!!
Pros great sharp looks, fuel economy, space in comparison to rivals, snob value
Cons diesel motor lacks the sheer enthusiasm as compared to the BMW 320d
Audi has stepped up its game big time. Their sharp styling has been duly noted ever since the launch of the q7 and r8 models. the day-time running LED lights are a great example of their design progress. Also the MMI system is a great interface tool which is easy to use and allows driver a host of options on vehicle settings. Due to the elongated wheelbase the room inside the car is much more superior in comparison to the cramped interiors of the merc and bmw. A4 gives the driver a big car feel. Frankly i feel it would give even the E-Class a run for its money.
Pros BRILLIANT
Cons LOOKING BEAUTY

Fire in the Sky (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
The spirits dance like fire in the sky. . . .
The three cubs Kallik, Toklo, and Lusa along with their shape-shifting companion, Ujurak, stand on the edge of the sea-ice under the blazing Northern Lights. The land has come to an end, but the bears' journey is far from over. Now they must put their trust in Kallik's paws, as she feels the ice pulling her out toward the ocean.
Life on the ice is more difficult than the bears imagined. While Kallik struggles to remember her polar bear roots, Toklo bristles in the unfamiliar territory and Lusa gets weaker by the day; black and brown bears don't belong on the ice. Meanwhile, Ujurak learns firsthand what lurks beneath the whorls and bubbles of the ice, and what he discovers will change everything.
Just when it seems like they'll never survive in the frozen wilderness, a mystical encounter with a bear spirit assures them that all will be well. But this strange vision leads to even more questions, and ultimately it might tear the bears apart this time for good as the next steps of their journey come into focus.

Visa (V) has no plans to start charging a digital wallet fee at his time, says global product chief Jim McCarthy. The remarks follow comments from CEO Charlie Scharf about a wallet fee being "totally appropriate," and appear to be helping eBay (EBAY +0.8%) outperform. Yesterday, Jefferies argued MasterCard's fee has been priced into eBay's guidance. It thinks a 20-25 bps Mastercard fee would have a $0.03-$0.04 impact on annual EPS, and that a similar Visa fee would hurt EPS by $0.07-$0.08.

Ok, I tried searching but didn't find anything related so posting it here. When I click comments link under any post on my blog, it takes me to a comments page that only has comments and no post. I want to change it to show the post followed by comments. Pretty much like you view posts using its permalink, but perhaps jumping directly to comments section. Does that make any sense?
Any ideas how to achieve that?

Tongole treat
Love Tongole, my favourite place. Facilities, food, staff, wildlife all great.
A new swimming pool to enjoy in completely relaxed surroundings.
A treat at Tongole
As we stepped out of our vehicle and shook hands with our welcoming hosts, we just knew we were in a very special place and that's before we met with the local elephants - the icing on the cake!
It became clear we had a natural connection with the staff. We embrassed their relaxed but competent manner. Their knowledge of nature, their surroundings & their ambiance with people was very appealing.
Tongoli was to be the 'treat' on our adventure around Malawi - and what a treat. With our luxury lodge housing a large comfortable bed - like camping in real style.
Enjoying a soak in the massive bath while a crocodile basks on a mud bank down at the river - don't get that every day! Dined by lantern light on the terrace. Menu choice amazing for the remote location. Varied locations for sundowners - so relaxing.
Wilderness luxury.
Beautiful, peaceful, great for relaxing
We had a wonderful time here. The lodge and accommodation were beautiful and very comfortable. The service was very helpful, personalized and friendly. The food was excellent and personal preferences were responded to. We had a great time just relaxing, enjoying the scenery and lodge, watching the birds, reading. We very much enjoyed the walks, the climb up the local hill and the game walks/drives with sundowners in beautiful spots at the end.
Donna and Steve were fantastic hosts
Thank you to everyone for a great start to our Malawi holiday.

I think you're in the same community group as my husband's best friend and his wife.. :) They recently told us about this young lady, too. What a coincidence! I love that your friend is helping through her Mary Kay business. Loved the video!ReplyDelete

Oh, my goodness! I love your little video! Hearing you talk makes me like you all the more! Your accent is so cute and I just love it. ...I wish my natural accent was like that :) Seriously, though. You are adorable! Don't be embarrassed. Thanks for sharing about those two products, I've never really used Mary Kay before, but have always heard good things about them!ReplyDelete
My mom had this perfect bright pinkish red lipstick that I borrowed all the time when I was a teenager. Id love to find the color and get my own.ReplyDelete

I love Mary Kay! I don't wear much make-up (if any at all) but MK is definitely a product I trust. Once in college my roommate and I went to a MK party and came out wanting to sell the product. It didn't happen then, but maybe sometime in the future!
Also, I grew up in TN but I lack the Tennessee accent because my parents are from Nebraska and Illinois. Yours is lovely and makes me miss home. :)
Oh! I would totally buy mascara or undereye creme. Love that stuff.ReplyDelete
Really want to try this out!!!ReplyDelete
I love their moisturizer but I would love to try out some of their lip products.ReplyDelete
Love Mary Kay!! And this is such a beautiful and inspiring idea.ReplyDelete
I've never really used Mary Kay but heard great things about their skin care products!ReplyDelete
I didn't think you were awkward at all! I love your accent, I could literally follow you around all day, just to listen to you speak! (I promise I won't do that though, because not only is it creepy, but it would be very hard, seeing as I live in England ;)
Nia xx
Would love to win! This video is so great haha.. You're hilarious!ReplyDelete
You are adorable! We're going to have to make that coffee date happen so I can see your sweet self in person ;) I LOVE Mary Kay but have not placed an order in ages. I would most likely go for the tinted lip balm or the Really Red creme lipstick.ReplyDelete
Recently decided to try more natural products and need new cc cream!!!! perfect!ReplyDelete
I've loved bb cremes so I'd love to try the cc creme! And this vlog is so cute, love the southern accent!ReplyDelete
Your accent is so SO darling! You should make more vlogs. Really!ReplyDelete

Romney Previews His Florida Debate Attacks on Rival Gingrich
Mitt Romney attacked Newt Gingrich less than a minute into a news conference in Florida today, a sign of the more combative posture the former Massachusetts governor is taking against the rival best positioned to block his path to the Republican presidential nomination.
Romney said Gingrich, the former U.S. House speaker, has a "highly erratic" record.
"He's gone from pillar to post, almost like a pinball machine, from item to item in a way which is highly erratic and does not suggest a stable, thoughtful course, which is normally associated with leadership," Romney told reporters in Tampa.
Speaking ahead of tonight's Republican candidate debate, Romney also said Gingrich is ripe for "an October surprise," a reference to learning something unknown about a candidate shortly before November's general election.
Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and U.S. Representative Ron Paul of Texas also are set to participate in the 9 p.m. debate.
Romney is seeking to regain his footing after Gingrich's 12-point win over him in South Carolina's Jan. 21 primary. Gingrich's victory set up a costly and combative campaign in Florida as Republicans confront the possibility of a prolonged fight for the nomination.
'You Get Desperate'
Gingrich described Romney as "desperate" at his own Tampa event later in the day, his first in the state since winning South Carolina.
"If you've been campaigning for six years and you begin to see it slip away, you get desperate," he said in remarks outside a non-denominational church. "When you get desperate, you say almost anything. And I think at tonight's debate, he will probably stretch the barrier almost anywhere."
Gingrich said he is practicing one of former President Ronald Reagan's famous debate lines for the faceoff.
"I've been memorizing old phrases like 'There you go again,'" Gingrich said, calling Romney's attacks non-factual.
"This is such baloney," Gingrich said. "It used to be pious baloney. Now it's just desperate baloney."
Knocking Romney's financial strength, Gingrich said "people power will beat money power" in Florida's Jan. 31 primary. "I had a pretty good Saturday in South Carolina," he said "We hope to have a pretty good Tuesday right here in Florida."
Housing Slump Stories
Romney spoke this morning after meeting with eight people from the Tampa area who have been affected by the slump in the housing market.
"I wish Speaker Gingrich were here this morning to have listened to those stories," he said. "He said in a debate, actually, that the people who profited from the failed model of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae ought to give back their money. Well, the speaker made $1.7 million in his enterprises from providing services to Freddie Mac. He ought to give it back. And we also ought to be able to see what it is he told them."
Gingrich did consulting work for the government-backed mortgage company Freddie Mac after leaving Congress. Romney said Gingrich should have seen the housing crisis coming and provided an alert.
"I didn't hear him making those warnings to the nation," Romney said. "He should have. If he was working inside this industry, providing counsel to them, he should have provided that advice to them and had communicated that to the nation."
New TV Ad
Romney's campaign released a new television ad in Florida today criticizing Gingrich, including his work for Freddie Mac.
"While Florida families lost everything in the housing crisis, Newt Gingrich cashed in," the ad says. "Gingrich was paid over $1.6 million by the scandal-ridden agency that helped create the crisis."
Romney said he will draw greater distinctions between himself and Gingrich before the Florida primary.
"The speaker was very animated about my releasing tax records. I am," Romney said, referring to his decision to disclose his return tomorrow. "I think it's an appropriate observation that people should know if there's going to be an October surprise. And in the case of the speaker, he's got some records which could represent an October surprise. We could see an October surprise a day from Newt Gingrich."
Private-Equity Past
Romney easily won the New Hampshire primary on Jan. 10 and finished a close second in the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses. Leading up to the South Carolina vote, his rivals' assault on his record as a private-equity executive sidetracked his effort to quickly lock up the nomination.
Although he has lost two of the first three contests in the Republican race, Romney entered Florida with advantages. His campaign and its allies have been airing television ads in the state attacking rivals for almost a month. With early voting already under way, Romney organizers are courting supporters and encouraging them to cast ballots before primary day. About 200,000 people have already voted.
Romney today repeated his call for Gingrich to release additional records from a 1997 ethics investigation when Gingrich was speaker, as well as records on work that Romney said should be considered lobbying.
"Let's see who his clients were," Romney said. "At the time he was lobbying Republican congressmen" for a federal prescription drug program, "was he working, or were his entities working with any health-care companies that could have benefited from that? That could represent not just evidence of lobbying, but potentially wrongful activity of some kind."
Asked whether he was suggesting that Gingrich had engaged in criminal activity, Romney said no.
Lobbyist Charge
"We just need to understand what his activity has been over the last 15 years and make sure that it's conformed with all the regulations that might exist," he said.
Romney argued that Gingrich was a lobbyist, even though the former speaker has denied that label.
"Saying that Newt Gingrich is a lobbyist is just a matter of fact," Romney said. "He indicates that he doesn't fall within the narrow definition of lobbyist that he might have in mind, but if you're working for a company and getting paid for a company through one of your many entities, and then you are speaking with congressmen in a way that would help that company, that's lobbying. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck."
Tax-Release Timing
Romney said he planned to release his tax records "sometime in the morning" tomorrow. He said the timing had nothing to do with President Barack Obama's annual State of the Union address, scheduled tomorrow night.
"The trustee of my trust that invests our family funds is available that day," he said. "It was to accommodate his schedule."
Gingrich released his 2010 returns on Jan. 19, becoming the first of the four remaining Republican contenders to do so. The returns showed he earned $3.1 million in 2010 and paid an effective federal tax rate of about 32 percent, about double the 15 percent rate Romney said he paid.
On housing, so far the Republican presidential candidates haven't said much about what they'd do to help the market. Democrats pounced on Romney in October when he told a newspaper in Nevada, the state with the highest foreclosure rate, that the market should be allowed to "run its course and hit the bottom."
Asked about that remark today, Romney said he still believes the housing sector must find its own equilibrium.
"The banks ought to show greater flexibility in being able to renegotiate with people who have circumstances that would justify that renegotiation," he said. "The banks seem to be paralyzed."

GISE - Courses
Program Structure
The GISE Certificate Program consists of 12 graduate-level credits. Autumn and winter quarters are linked and focus on integrated lectures encompassing systems engineering, project management, finance, and supply chain. In the spring quarter, participants complete an extensive team design project.
Autumn and Winter Quarters, 2016-2017
Schedule: Once a week integrated lectures on Thursday evenings (4:00-8:20pm) cover the following material:
|Systems Engineering
|Project Management
|Supply Chain
Top-down problem solving
Decision analysis
SE methodologies
Systems analysis
Requirements analysis
Functional modeling
Trade studies
Project initiation and selection
Project planning and scheduling
Spreadsheet models and tools
Risk management
Cash flows and costs
Critical chain
Monitoring and control
Time value of money
NPV and IRR
Sources of risk
Elements of cost
Risk-adjusted discount rates
Competitive business environment
Business profitability and margins
Global logistics & distribution
Managing inventory/optimal policies
Risk & coordination mechanisms
Mass customization
Vendor managed inventory
Bullwhip effect
As part of the integrated lectures, global topics will be addressed, because success in a global and interconnected world requires international knowledge and cross-cultural communication skills.
Cross-cultural communication skills: Students need to understand how different cultures communicate so that effective working relationships can be established and how negotiation may be properly approached.
International knowledge: Students need to understand the effect that globalization is having on an enterprise with respect to organizational structure, international partners, virtual employees, outsourced projects, management skills, etc.
Spring Quarter 2017
Schedule: A two-day project initiation session, followed by Thursday evening sessions for project review and technical advising. Final project presentations will be on the second Thursday in June, 2017.
The Design Project
The program concludes with a comprehensive team-based design effort involving a large-scale system. This project provides a culminating experience through which students bring together the systems analysis and design, project management, and financial modeling skills they have learned in the fall and winter quarters and apply them to a real-world problem using real data and presenting their results to an evaluation panel comprised of practitioners, academics, and client representatives. In the spring quarter, the teams will meet in person for two days at the beginning for project introduction, problem formulation, and team development; the teams will come together for the final presentation at the end of the quarter. In between, the teams will set their own schedules, but will come together, in person or virtually, every other class period for enrichment topics and project reviews.

What's the difference between
syntax and
filetype in Vim?
I learned that I can set syntax and filetype, but I can't understand the difference fully.
syntax used only for syntax highlighting?
What's the difference between
I learned that I can set syntax and filetype, but I can't understand the difference fully.
It will expect certain filetypes to have a specific syntax. For example when you open a file.php it will expect a PHP syntax and colour it accordingly.
But some people use unusual filetypes but still want to use the correect syntax in the editor, for example file.txt or file.bla with PHP content inside.
Syntax is the "language" inside the file, where filetype is the actual type of the file.
a c-file is a c-file (filetype), no matter how you color the different elements of the file (syntax). some decisions (for example, how to color some words, where to put brackets etc) are maded based upon the filetype.

Zagg ( ZAGG) designs, manufactures and distributes protective coverings, audio accessories and power solutions for consumer electronic and hand-held devices. This stock is trading up 4% to $8.72 in recent trading. Today's Range: $8.35-$8.80 52-Week Range: $6.40-$14 Volume: 585,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 842,252 From a technical perspective, ZAGG is moving notably higher here with decent volume. This move is quickly pushing ZAGG within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once ZAGG takes out some near-term overhead resistance at $8.90, and once it clears its 50-day at $8.97 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in ZAGG once it sustains a move or close above those levels with volume that's near or above 842,252 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then XAGG will have a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next significant overhead resistance levels at $9.90 to $11. On the flip side, I would avoid ZAGG or look for short-biased trades if it fails to trigger that breakout, and then moves back below some near-term support at $8.15 to $8 with high volume.

Chris Christie Had Secret Lap-Band Surgery to Lose Weight
He used a fake name at the hospital.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has faced questions about his midsection for as long as he's been in the public eye, responding with a mix of jokes and anger, and knows full well that the pundit obsession with his body will only get worse if he runs for president in 2016. Since he's never been one to stick with a diet, it perhaps shouldn't come as a shock that Christie opted for lap-band stomach surgery this February under a fake name, as he revealed to the New York Post today. "I've struggled with this issue for 20 years," he said. "For me, this is about turning 50 and looking at my children and wanting to be there for them." It's not, he promises, about wanting to be president.
And it probably shouldn't be, our own Jonathan Chait argued two years ago: "Why does his weight matter at all? The only real reasoning I see here is that American elites view obesity with disgust, and they're repulsed at the notion that a very fat guy could rise to a position of symbolic leadership." But even if health is the chief concern, the surgery surely has superficial, and potentially political, benefits.
"It's so much more important than that," Christie said. Donors and those otherwise obsessed with an election still more than three years away, meanwhile, will take any sign they can get that he's plotting a run. "I know it sounds crazy to say that running for president is minor," Christie insisted, "but in the grand scheme of things, it was looking at Mary Pat and the kids and going, 'I have to do this for them, even if I don't give a crap about myself.'" He reportedly sought counsel from New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, who slimmed down the same way.
And it's working! "A week or two ago, I went to a steakhouse and ordered a steak and ate about a third of it and I was full," said Christie, with "sources" telling the Post he's already lost about 40 pounds. At this rate, he'll be in fighting shape come primary season.
