Long acquisition times are still a limitation for many applications of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), specially in 3-D and dynamic imaging. Several undersampling reconstruction techniques have been proposed to overcome this problem. These techniques are based on acquiring less samples than specified by the Nyquist criterion and estimating the nonacquired data by using some sort of prior information. Most of these reconstruction methods use prior information based on estimations of the pixel intensities of the images and therefore they are prone to introduce spatial or temporal blurring. Instead of using the pixel intensities, we propose to use information that allows us to sort the pixels of an image from darkest to brightest. The set of order relations which sort the pixels of an image has been called intensity order. The intensity order of an image can be estimated from low-resolution images, adjacent slices in volumetric acquisitions, temporal correlation in dynamic sequences or from prior reconstructions. Our technique for reconstruction using intensity order (TRIO) consists of looking for an image that satisfies the intensity order and minimizes the discrepancy between the acquired and reconstructed data. Results show that TRIO can effectively reconstruct 2-D-cine cardiac MR images (under-sampling factor of 4), estimating correctly the temporal evolution of the objects. Furthermore, TRIO is used as a second stage reconstruction after reconstructing with other techniques, keyhole, sliding window and k-t BLAST, to estimate the order information. In all cases the images are improved by TRIO.

TV Ratings: NBC's fireworks beat CBS' fireworks on slow July 4th
Viewers preferred NBC's July 4 fireworks special to CBS' version on an otherwise incredibly slow, low-rated Monday night in the ratings" class="autolink">Nielsen ratings.
Thanks to a double run of the "Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Spectacular," NBC won the night with a 1.6 average rating in the demographic of adults 18-49 and an average of 6.3 million viewers overall. CBS was second with a 1.0 rating and 4.8 million viewers, followed by ABC (0.8, 3.1 million), FOX (0.7, 1.9 million) and the CW (0.2, 434,000).
8 p.m. -- Repeats all around, all of them barely watched. The one-eyed man that in the kingdom of the blind for this hour was NBC's "America's Got Talent," which got a 1.2 demo rating and 4.9 million viewers, followed by CBS' combo of "How I Met Your Mother" and "Mike & Molly" (0.9, 3.3 million), FOX's "Masterchef" (0.9, 2.3 million), ABC's "The Bachelorette" (0.7, 3.1 million) and the CW's "90210" (0.2, 510,000).
9 p.m. -- NBC's telecast of the Macy's special, featuring performances from Beyonce and Brad Paisley, easily won an otherwise repeat-filled hour with a 2.1 demo rating and 8.6 million viewers. It was followed by "Two and a Half Men" and "Mike & Molly" on CBS (1.1, 4.8 million), more of "The Bachelorette" on ABC (0.7, 3.1 million), "House" on FOX (0.5, 1.6 million) and "Gossip Girl" on the CW (0.1, 358,000).
10 p.m. -- NBC's instant replay of the Macy's special actually won this hour, too, with a 1.4 demo rating and 5.3 million viewers overall. CBS' "Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular," with performances by Martina McBride, actually won the hour in viewers, with 6.6 million, but only pulled a 1.1 in the demo, barely ahead of the 18-49 numbers for ABC's repeat of "Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition" (1.0, 3.0 million).
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change.

Study: Texting While Driving Bans Aren't Working
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on May 05, 2013 @ 9:45PM
Created on May 05, 2013 @ 7:51PM
If you remember, our state's law to prevent any kind of cell phone use while driving went into effect last summer, but is it really working?
A USA Today survey shows that these statewide texting while driving bans aren't working the way they should. In fact, some states hand out fewer than one citation per day. Now with this startling news, we asked some of you about your thoughts on the law. One woman says she thinks the ban is effective.
"I think it's definitely a good thing, but I don't think the law is going to stop people," says Amanda Dunphy, Morgantown resident.
Studies show you're 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident if you text and drive. In 2011, more than 3,000 people were killed in accidents involving texting while driving. One woman doesn't agree with the ban, and believes there's a better way to catch people who aren't keeping their eyes on the road.
"I think they should have to face other penalties," says Emily Hoover, Morgantown resident.
Officials say the best way to avoid breaking the law is to invest in some kind of hands-free mobile device. Many new cars are already coming equipped with hands free technology like Bluetooth.

No, I'm not kidding!
Nate Davis, QB of the 9-0, No. 17 Ball State Cardinals, could be one of the first QBs taken in the 2009 NFL Draft!
While many college football fans may be unaware of this fact, the MAC (Mid-American Conference) is known for producing some pretty good NFL-caliber quarterbacks in recent years.
If Davis, who is a junior, decides to turn pro after this season, many experts project him to be around the third-best QB prospect in the 2009 NFL Draft, behind only Georgia's senior QB Matthew Stafford and Florida's Tim Tebow, also a junior.
Overall, next year's class isn't very deep or strong at the quarterback position, so it would be a bit surprising if Davis doesn't declare himself eligible for the 2009 NFL Draft.
The nation as a whole may not have been aware of how good Davis and his Ball State Cardinals are, but their appearance on ESPN2 on Wednesday night in a nationally broadcast game surely changed that for those who watched.
In case you didn't see the game, you can watch the highlights by CLICKING HERE.
The 6'2", 222-pound Davis led the Cardinals to a 45-14 dismantling of Northern Illinois. He threw for 300 yards and four touchdowns, making precision passes all over the field while adding to his personal highlight reel.
For the season, Davis has thrown for 2,358 yards and 19 touchdowns to only five interceptions, along with a QB rating of 167 and a pass completion percentage of 68. He has also rushed for 114 yards and two scores.
If you still doubt Davis' potential to be a high draft pick and NFL star coming from the MAC, allow me to do a little "From MAC QB to NFL QB" name-dropping!
Omar Jacobs, BGSU: NFL 5th Round (164th overall, 2006)
Bruce Gradkowski, Toledo: NFL 6th Round (194th overall, 2006)
Charlie Frye, Akron: NFL 3rd Round (67th overall, 2005)
Josh Harris, BGSU: NFL 6th Round (187 overall, 2004)
Byron Leftwich, Marshall: NFL 1st Round (7th overall, 2003)
Chad Pennington, Marshall: NFL 1st Round (18th overall, 2000)
Lastly, you may have heard of this guy. He's considered one of the best quarterbacks currently in the NFL.
Ben Roethlisberger, Miami-OH: NFL 1st Round (11th overall, 2004)
Granted, not all of these players went on to NFL stardom, but be aware that many of them were projects drafted in the latter rounds with very little investment.
Davis will be coveted should he come out early and will be a first day pick and most likely a first round pick.
Some of the greatest NFL players of all time have come from non-powerhouse and somewhat unknown smaller schools where most of the nation never had heard of them.
Jerry Rice, Brett Favre, Walter Payton, Jack Lambert, and Eric Dickerson are all NFL Hall of Famers from programs similar to Ball State.
Nate Davis may just be the next in line on this path.
Keep watching!
Thanks for reading. Please post a comment!
Here's Davis on a rushing TD vs. Toledo.

Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has a roster full of complicated decisions staring him in the face as the July 31 nonwaiver trade deadline approaches and one of them reappeared on the mound Monday night at Citizens Bank Park.
It's obvious at this point that the Phillies need to be sellers in the next 10 days. The part that isn't as clear is who they should sell and what they should expect in return.
Cliff Lee, the guy who reappeared after a two-month stay on the disabled list with an elbow injury, provides the classic dilemma for Amaro and the Phillies' potential trading partners. A year ago, Amaro wasn't all that eager to move Lee and the price for any team that wanted him was exorbitant.

Critical Rating: AA 1/2

This sequel to Rainstorm imitates the original closely … perhaps too closely. We see the same stock footage of rain between scenes and the same sound of rain pounding the roof during the action. The second time around, it seems even less effective. But the cast is solid, consisting primarily of unfamiliar faces, and the action is generally good, though no one scene stands out as particularly memorable. A cut above the standard because of the cast, which we haven't seen in a dozen other titles.

TRENTON, N.J. -- If you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles, or so goes at least one translation of Sun Tzu's "Art of War."
Connecticut needs to win just two more basketball battles to finish off its perfect season with a national championship, a goal it moved one step closer to with an 83-64 victory over Arizona State in Tuesday's regional final. And, as will be made clear throughout the rest of the week, Connecticut definitely knows the first foe that awaits in St. Louis. It was Stanford, after all, that handed the Huskies their last loss, a year ago in the national semifinals in Tampa, Fla.
But it was two of Stanford's Pac-10 peers that allowed the Huskies to reaffirm the second part of the axiom.
Because, as was the case in a 24-point win against California two days earlier, Connecticut beat Arizona State by the kind of margin teams aren't supposed to win by this late in the postseason, and did so despite playing far less than its best basketball.
When they're clicking on all cylinders, the Huskies might be the best show in recent memory in women's college basketball. If Trenton is any indication, they might still be the best team this season even if, by their own unique standards, they're sputtering for stretches in second gear.
"There's a collective mindset on the team," Geno Auriemma said. "They know it's going to happen, and they're not doubting whether it will happen, or can it even happen. Each and every time that we've been tested, the response seems to be the same."
As Renee Montgomery curled around a screen late and with her team in possession of a lead that was sizable if still not entirely comfortable, she stumbled, reached out to stop her fall and watched an inbounds pass from Kalana Greene sail over her head for UConn turnover No. 17 of the night (on the way to 18 turnovers, almost five more than the team's season average). Montgomery might have had some assistance in her stumble from a Sun Devils player; she might not have. In a sense, it was that kind of night for a team that shot 59 percent, pulled down 26 more rebounds than Arizona State and still found itself hovering within a Sun Devils run of trouble late in the game.
A night when Auriemma watched, mouth agape, as Tina Charles -- unable to find an outlet after one of her 13 rebounds -- took off up the court to lead the break, only to realize her unfamiliar surroundings around midcourt and narrowly avoid a turnover while getting the ball to more experienced hands.
Credit Arizona State for a good portion of the game's generally discombobulating demeanor. Coach Charli Turner Thorne's teams are almost always among the nation's leaders in forcing turnovers, and this edition was at its pressuring, pestering best Tuesday. But this was also a night when the Huskies might have wished they could take Auriemma's course pass-fail because what was on display at times was anything but their A-game.
"We definitely didn't [play our best]," Greene said. "Renee didn't play the best game Sunday; Tiffany [Hayes] didn't play the best game today. Everyone didn't play 100 percent -- their A-game -- today. But the fact that we have people who are not playing the game they're usually playing and we still pull out the lead and play just as hard is good."
And that's the catch. Catching Connecticut on an off day simply isn't enough.
Montgomery picked up three fouls in the first half, but instead of coming out of the break cautiously running with her foot off the accelerator, she blazed out of the gates, black-and-white speed traps be damned. She answered a Briann January 3-pointer that cut the lead to eight points with an end-to-end rush for a layup, and scored again on the next possession to extend the lead to 12 points. By the time the Sun Devils called a timeout at the 14:06 mark, January already had six points and one assist without a turnover in the half.
"When she plays like that, it's like you can feel everyone, like a collective sigh of relief," Connecticut assistant coach Shea Ralph said. "Because Renee, she's kind of the pulse of this team. She's the heartbeat of the team, not only on the court but in the locker room and on the bus. I mean, that kid is our leader. And so for her to be able to come out -- and there was a little unease in the locker room because we didn't play well in the first half and she had some foul trouble, she sat on the bench for the end of the first half.
"So for her to come out and just kind of punch them right in the face -- figuratively -- to throw the first punch like that for our team, was like, 'All right, we're ready to go.'"
At least two of the early fouls on Montgomery were of debatable enough merit that, whether or not they were the right decisions, a normal 22-year-old might have felt hard done by in what could have been her final college game. Not surprisingly, the calls visibly irritated Auriemma. Yet aside from a slight look of befuddlement or disbelief, Montgomery didn't let the hard luck take her out of the game. As was the case with Maya Moore, who finished with 25 points and a number of back-breaking 3-pointers, the stars stepped up when needed most.
"She never got frustrated," Auriemma said of Montgomery. "She never allowed it to change her approach. She just kept attacking. There were a couple of times when I was just praying she would pull it out, and she just kept going, pulled up and made shots. I'm glad Renee has the kind of confidence that she does because sometimes she amazes me."
The day before Connecticut played for its spot in the Final Four, Greene singled out this group's resistance to panic as a key difference from a year ago. It was a theme Moore echoed after the win, as she reflected on last season's semifinal against Stanford.
"I really do think at times we doubted ourselves in that game, and it hurt us," Moore said.
That wasn't the case against Cal on Sunday when, as in the game against Stanford last season, Connecticut fell behind by eight points in the first half. And it wasn't the case Tuesday when, instead of a 40-minute victory lap, the Huskies had to earn their way to St. Louis.
It wasn't pretty, but as the players danced in front of the pep band after the final horn, it didn't seem to faze them. Then again, not much does.
"We came back and tried to counter, and even if we didn't, we just kept on going at them," Montgomery said. "And I think that just shows the confidence we have in each other and the confidence we have in our team."

Waikato has added Robbie Greenhalgh to its squad for the game
against Otago on Sunday, in the wake of a host of younger
players being influenced to withdraw by former coach Declan
Jesse Edge, Harry Edge, Ryan Thomas, Matt Oliver, Dan Looker,
Bailey Webster, Harley Tahau, and Mohammed Awad ceased
attending training last week, in the wake of Waikato's first
win of the season against Manawatu, without any communication
with the club.
When contacted for an explanation, Thomas advised he was now
in a moonboot with a suspected stress fracture in his foot,
while the others said they were no longer available for
Waikato, effective immediately.
Declan Edge had previously advised of his intention to take
up employment with the Ole Academy, at the end of his
contracted period with Waikato, but was sacked under poor
performance clauses a fortnight ago. Replacement coach Mark
Cossey immediately turned results around at Waikato.
The players are all preparing to shift to Wellington to join
Edge at his new post at the Ole Soccer Academy, which
privately runs high performance programmes.

Insurance industry invades Arab markets with $27 billion in premiums
Arab insurance premiums have seen good growth reaching $27 billion last year, of which the GCC region's share of the total was $16.5 billion, said a report citing a senior banking official. Speaking during the opening session of the first Professional Liability Insurance Forum yesterday, General Arab Insurance Federation (GAIF) secretary-general Abdul Khaliq said the GCC region's share of the total was $16.5 billion, with a growth of 11.7 per cent versus 2011, reported the Gulf Daily News, . Khaliq urged the industry and regulators to modernise in tune with rapidly changing consumer requirements and also venture into specialised branches like professional liability insurance, the report stated. GAIF and the Bahrain Insurance Association (BIA) are the key drivers behind the two-day event being held at the Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain Hotel and Spa. On the opening day, the event saw participation from more than 300 high-ranking professionals from the insurance industry and other sectors. Central Bank of Bahrain executive director of financial institutions supervision Abdul Rahman Al Baker said professional liability insurance provides comprehensive protection for firms assets against claims for financial losses, injury or damage arising from certain acts, errors or omissions in the performance of professional services. "It protects professionals such as accountants, lawyers, medical practitioners, engineers, architects, brokers and bank managers among others, against negligence and other claims initiated by their clients," he remarked. "It is required by professionals who have expertise in a specific area because the general liability insurance policies do not offer protection against claims arising out of business or professional practices such as negligence, malpractice or misrepresentation," said Khaliq. "There is a lot of potential for insurance firms to provide and strengthen the professional liability insurance products and to cater them to the needs and requirements of the different industries," the added. BIA chairman Younis Jamal told the GDN that Bahrain needed legislation that regulated professional liability specifying the nature of such errors. "Bahrain's insurance market is experiencing growth of about 7-8 per cent over last year, reflecting the dynamic nature of the economy," he said. According to Al Baraka Banking Group board member, president and chief executive Adnan Yousif, the professional liability insurance market could be one of the most important tools of economic stability, given geopolitical complexities around the region. Yousif said the market would become a major growth engine if suitable conditions were available including regulatory infrastructure and integration into national economy segments, with bodies such as Tamkeen focused on empowerment and capacity building. The event also saw industry pioneer and veteran Ghazi Abu Nahl being honoured for his contributions to the insurance sector. As he could not be present, his son, TrustRe chief executive Fadi Abu Nahl, collected the award on his behalf.

How to Draw a Circle
Eight Methods:Tracing a round objectUsing a compassUsing stringUsing your handUsing your wristUsing a protractorUsing a center pointUsing A PinCommunity Q&A
Although there are many ways to draw a perfect circle, some work better than others in certain situations. Here are a few techniques; you pick your favorite!
Method 1
Tracing a round object
1Find a perfectly round object that is the desired size. The outermost edge should be smooth and without any bumps or little lumps. The surface area must be flat.
2Put the object above the spot you want it on your paper and hold it down firmly with one hand while you trace it with your other.
3If you cannot draw a circle, for your first time, try using a tracer. When you get use to it, remove the tracer. Don't be nervous, just use an 'invisible' tracer...
Method 2
Using a compass
1Secure a sharp pencil in the clamp of a compass so the point of the compass and the point of the pencil are level when the compass is closed.
2Adjust the angle of the arms so that they span the full desired radius.
3Put the sharp end of a compass down firmly wherever you want the middle of your circle to be. Put the pencil point gently down on the paper. Keep the compass upright and hold the compass at the top. Turn the compass so that the pencil draws a circle.
Method 3
Using string
1Tie a piece of string low down around a pencil. Hold the string the length of the radius away from the pencil with your finger.
2Hold the string down against the paper where you want the center of the circle to be. Draw around the center while keeping the string tight and the pencil upright.
- A variation of this technique is to tie the string to 2 pencils, placing one in the center of the circle, and moving the other one around the center. Tying the knots so that the pencils can rotate in the loop will ensure that the string does not start to wrap around the pencil.
Method 4
Using your hand
Method 5
Using your wrist
Method 6
Using a protractor
1Place a protractor on the paper.
2Draw a curved line around the protractor using it as a template.
3Turn the protractor 90 degrees so there is a line around half of the protractor.
4Draw another line using the protractor as a template again.
5Turn the protractor another 90 degrees and complete the circle.
Method 7
Using a center point
1Mark a center point on the paper.
2Use a ruler, or some other means of measurement, to make points equally distant from the center point. You can choose how many to make, bigger circles will require more points to have a close approximation.
3Now just connect the dots. Short curved strokes are recommended, and even rotating the paper for better results.
Method 8
Using A Pin
1Find a piece of paper, an empty cardboard box, a pin and a rubber band.
2Put the paper on top of the cardboard box.
3Push the pins into the cardboard and into the paper.
4Put the rubber band into the pin.
5Put the pencil in the other part.
6Stretch the rubber band and keep the rubber (elastic) band to draw a circle.

Less Is More With All Added Sweeteners
Just like most other added sugars, agave offers no miraculous health benefits, Applegate says. It simply adds sweetness.
If you want to switch from one sweetener to another, Applegate suggests instead looking at the overall amount of added sugars already in your day. Some of them are in foods you might not expect. Check food labels, write down everything you eat for a week, and see how much sugar you're already getting.
The American Heart Association recommends limiting sweeteners to no more than 6 teaspoons for women and 9 teaspoons for men per day, on average. That includes all sources, whether it's agave, sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, or anything else.

Dear Ms Ultrasound,
I'm 36-weeks pregnant and had an ultrasound done yesterday. The report said there was a small amount of debris in the fluid. Can this debris harm the baby?
My mom said the baby could swallow it and choke? Is she over reacting, or do I need to be concerned?
It is quite common to see debris floating in the amniotic fluid in the late stage of pregnancy. There are a number of terms for this debris. The most common is Vernix or Vernix Caseosa.
Perhaps your Mom is thinking of meconium. This is present in the intestines from the second trimester. It consists of swallowed amniotic fluid, vernix caseosa, glandular secretions, and bile. The meconium becomes brighter on an ultrasound the closer you get to delivery. Your Mom may be trying to explain that some babies can aspirate the meconium during delivery. The baby doesn't choke in utero.
I would ask your doctor if you should be concerned about the amount seen, since I can't tell exactly what they saw. I can tell you it is something we see all the time in late pregnancy, and not to get too concerned over this finding.
-- Jane, RDMS
I doubt it's your issue, but a friend of mine had a daughter who had inhaled meconium in the sac just before she left the birth canal, and developed palsy. She's a great kid, but I hear it isn't too uncommon to have feces in your sac at the end. Hopefully someone can inform me of something else? Or is this true?

UK: GM Vauxhall plant announcement imminent
By Chris Wright | 14 May 2012
Workers at General Motors' UK Opel/Vauxhall car factory near Liverpool are waiting anxiously for news this week over the future of the plant which currently builds some Astra models.
With the US giant losing money in Europe, an announcement over a factory closure is imminent although local news sources say key meetings will be held this week and there is speculation GM is preparing to announce the new version of its Astra will be built at Ellesmere Port with potentially hundreds of new jobs resulting.
Weekend reports suggested lobbying by government ministers, including the UK's business secretary Vince Cable, could be about to pay off for Ellesmere Port. That would be a blow to other GM sites in Germany and Europe.
Citing unidentified sources, the Financial Mail said GM would keep the UK Opel/Vauxhall unit where it planned to boost Astra production and sell more cars locally. Over 80% of the Astra Tourers (estate car/station wagon) made at Ellesmere Port are currently exported, according to the newspaper [see GM Europe could reshuffle Astra build plant roster - ed].
A likely announcement later this week follows months of discussions about the future of Ellesmere Port and speculation that the Merseyside site might miss out on future investment, threatening job losses.
Workers are likely to be balloted on a number of issues before any final decisions are taken and a positive outcome will be the second piece of good news for the region in the north west of the UK.
Last week Jaguar Land Rover announced it would open a new parts plant next to the Vauxhall site in Ellesmere Port, creating 300 jobs.
The facility will open this summer and will be managed by DHL, which already employs more than 600 staff at the firm's nearby Halewood car plant supplying the Evoque and Freelander production line.

Fluorosurfactants, or fluorinated surfactants, are synthetic organofluorine chemical compounds that have multiple fluorine atoms. They can be polyfluorinated or fluorocarbon-based (perfluorinated).[1] As surfactants, they are more effective at lowering the surface tension of water than comparable hydrocarbon surfactants. They have a fluorinated "tail" and a hydrophilic "head." Some human-made fluorosurfactants, such as PFOS and PFOA, are persistent organic pollutants and are detected in humans and wildlife.[2]
Physical and chemical properties[edit]
Fluorosurfactants can lower the surface tension of water down to a value half of what is attainable by using hydrocarbon surfactants.[3] This ability is due to the lipophobic nature of fluorocarbons, as fluorosurfactants tend to concentrate at the liquid-air interface.[4] They are not as susceptible to the London dispersion force, a factor contributing to lipophilicity, because the electronegativity of fluorine reduces the polarizability of the surfactants' fluorinated molecular surface. Therefore, the attractive interactions resulting from the "fleeting dipoles" are reduced, in comparison to hydrocarbon surfactants. Fluorosurfactants are more stable and fit for harsh conditions than hydrocarbon surfactants because of the stability of the carbon–fluorine bond. Likewise, perfluorinated surfactants persist in the environment for that reason.[2]
Economic role[edit]
Fluorosurfactants play a key economic role for companies such as DuPont, 3M, and W. L. Gore & Associates because they are used in emulsion polymerization to produce fluoropolymers. Fluorosurfactants have two main markets: a $1 billion annual market for use in stain repellents, and a $100 million annual market for use in polishes, paints, and coatings.[5]
Health and environmental concerns[edit]
Some fluorosurfactants have caught the attention of regulatory agencies because of their persistence, toxicity, and widespread occurrence in the blood of general populations[6] and wildlife, such as perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), and perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA). As studies give evidence that longer fluorosurfactants are more bioaccumulative and toxic, some companies are marketing shorter fluorosurfactants.[5] For example, 3M is marketing two fluorosurfactants based upon the four carbon perfluorobutanesulfonic acid.[5] There are also concerns about the potential impacts of fluorinated alternatives including short-chain poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substances on human health and the environment.[7]

WASHINGTON (October 30, 2013)- The federal deficit for the 2013 budget year totaled $680.3 billion, down from $1.09 trillion in 2012 the smallest imbalance since 2008, when the government ran a $458.6 billion deficit, the government said Wednesday.
The deficit, the gap between the government's tax revenue and its spending, narrowed for the budget year that ended on Sept. 30 because revenue rose while spending fell.
Revenue jumped 13.3 percent to $2.77 trillion, reflecting a slightly better economy and higher tax rates and government spending declined 2.4 percent to $3.45 trillion, in part because of across-the-board spending cuts that took effect in March.

I work on a HP/Compaq 6910p laptop and in the office I use a docking station where I have a second monitor connected so that I can work dual screen. If my computer is in this docking station extra monitor configuration, and I am required to reboot, everything is fine until the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile starts. When it starts it changes the monitor settings so that they are returned to a single monitor and I have to manually change them back.
I have looked for information on how to configure the Intel GMAD to use my defaults but that doesn't seem to be the case, and to make things really interesting this ONLY happens when I'm connected to the docking station. If I am at home when the reboot happens, the next day at the office when I put the computer on the docking station everything works as expected.
I've asked my office IT department and they said that if I remove the driver it will be reinstalled during the next update, so I'm pretty much stuck with the driver even if I don't want it.
Does anyone know how I can make the Intel Graphics Media Driver for Mobile retain my settings after a reboot?

Can anything beat a Gibson guitar? It's tempting to answer that question with a "no," but if you did, you might change your mind when you've had a look at these Gibson Custom left handed electric guitars. Here you'll find an impressive lineup of SG and Les Paul models - and all the proof you need to show that the one thing better than a Gibson is a premium Gibson. These instruments also prove that right-handed guitarists don't get to have all the fun. Since everything in this section is lefty-oriented, you can reserve one knowing you won't have to play upside-down to enjoy it, which just might make the anticipation all the sweeter.
Most of the guitars here have roots running deep into Gibson history. Take the Gibson Custom 2014 SG Standard Reissue with Bigsby Left-Handed Electric Guitar, for example: it's a faithful homage to the successor of the original Les Paul. Vintage-authentic appointments include aniline dye, cellulose inlays, hot-hide glue, Kluson Deluxe machine heads and a historic truss rod assembly. Even the twin humbuckers are customized to match the accurate 1963 specs. Although maybe you'd prefer your pickups in triplicate? If so, make sure to check out the Custom 2014 SG Custom Figured Top 3-Pickup Left Handed Electric Guitar as well.
For those who prefer the Les Paul, let's kick things off with the Gibson Custom 2015 Historic Select 1959 Les Paul Reissue Left-Handed Electric Guitar. One of the most interesting things about Gibson's best-known guitar is how it failed to catch on when it was originally released. Fortunately, musicians saw the collective error of our ways and now the Les Paul is among the most celebrated guitars in history. Models like this are the closet thing you'll find to a 1959 LP without scoring the real deal, and when you consider how rare and valuable an authentic '59 Les Paul is, the reissue is probably a better choice if you want to actually play the thing.
So what do you like best in the selection of Gibson Custom left handed electric guitars? Are you a die-hard Les Paul fan pining for the spitting image of the 1959 original? Or do you prefer the major facelift it got to become the SG a few years later? One way or another, there's probably an instrument here that's just begging you to reserve it - after all, you're looking at some of Gibson's finest work.

It seems the going is getting tough for Jeremy Meeks, the convicted felon whose dreamy mug shot went viral.
Because of his looks, Meeks went from being a felon to a celeb with a manager, who is already getting death threats … supposedly from gang members who apparently don't like the idea of Meeks getting shine and they aren't.
The backstory is that Meeks' family hooked him up with some representation earlier this week — hoping to capitalize on his new-found fame — but things quickly went south. His manager who has also petitioned the court to allow Meeks to wear a custom Tom Ford suit to his next court appearance, she's been threatened.
TMZ says Gina Rodriguez who's worked with Octomom and V. Stiviano, has received around 30 harassing phone calls from "gangster-sounding people" … and one person repeatedly threatened to blow her head off — saying she deserved to die.
The manager filed a report with the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept.
Stockton, CA police say Jeremy Meeks is a member of the Northside Crips gang. He does have two tattoos, one on his neck that says "NC" and another on his forearm that says "Crip." So that's not a stretch.
So ladies, you sure you still want some of that gangster love from Jeremy? As you can see it comes with a price.

Ethanol Tumbles Fourth Day on Supply Increase and Cheaper Corn
Ethanol tumbled for a fourth day as corn declined and an Energy Department report showed stockpiles increased.
Prices slipped as corn, the primary feedstock used to make the biofuel in the U.S., sank and after the Energy Department said inventories swelled 0.9 percent to 22 million barrels, the first gain since March 16. Ethanol is blended with gasoline to stretch supply and meet federal mandates.
"The DOE's came out with a build," said Ian Jackson, a trader at SCB & Associates LLC in Chicago. "It was a washout with corn. Gasoline's down. It is kind of a flush out everywhere."
Denatured ethanol for May delivery fell 3.6 cents, or 1.7 percent, to settle at $2.12 a gallon on the Chicago Board of Trade. Prices have dropped 3.8 percent this year.
In cash market trading, ethanol plunged 7 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $2.10 a gallon in Chicago and in the U.S. Gulf the biofuel slumped 6 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $2.165, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Ethanol in New York slipped 5.5 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $2.195 a gallon and on the West Coast the additive lost 1 cent, or 0.4 percent, to $2.28.
Corn futures for July delivery declined 13.25 cents, or 2.2 percent to close at $5.94 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade.
Gasoline for May delivery fell 3.13 cents, or 1 percent, to settle at $3.2027 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract covers reformulated gasoline, or RBOB, which is mixed with ethanol before delivery to filling stations.

Sara-Nett Wood's parents first met when her father came to UF on the GI Bill in 1946.
He was dying to be a Gator, and she was looking for a man in uniform, Wood said.
They were soon married and began their life together in one of the Florida Veterans Villages, or Flavets, that UF built to house new students and their families on campus.
Wood, a 1974 UF alumna, was only six months old when her father graduated in 1950. She said living in the Flavets was a happy time in her life.
She returned to UF Wednesday for the dedication of the Flavet Villages historical marker.
About 50 people, including representatives of the Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC, attended the ceremony near the former site of Flavet III in front of Keys Residential Complex on Stadium Road.
UF historian Carl Van Ness said during the ceremony that the marker is a tribute to a generation of Americans.
The GI Bill changed the character of American higher education, he said, by allowing many veterans to attend college for the first time.
The historical marker program is coordinated by the university's History Advisory Council and sponsored by the UF Alumni Association. The program celebrates the university's contributions in the areas of research, public service and development, Van Ness said.
Three other markers have been dedicated since November 2007, but this is the first to emphasize student life and culture, he said.
Norbert Dunkel, director of Housing and Residence Education, also spoke during the ceremony. Dunkel said enrollment at UF jumped from about 600 students in 1945 to almost 8,000 in 1946 because of the GI Bill.
Although the Flavets were intended to be temporary housing solutions, they had a lasting effect on the university's culture, he said, adding that students actually protested the destruction of Flavet III in 1974.
Chad Powers, a UF Spanish junior who lives at Keys Residential Complex, said his uncle, David Hamrick, was a World War II veteran who lived in Flavet III from 1947 to 1950. His grandparents, Pat and Kent Powers, also lived on campus years ago, Powers added.
"It makes me proud of the culture of the school that so many good people have come through here," Powers said.

When it comes to stocks, few companies inspire more loyalty than Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) (NYSE: BRK-B). But one long-time shareholder is selling Warren Buffett's famous investment vehicle in favor of a wider range of arguably more exciting prospects. What might be most surprising, though, is what this institutional investor is buying to replace its Berkshire shares.
Is Vonage (NYSE: VG) headed higher, or lower? That's the question we ask when we evaluate insider buying and selling. We ask because how executives spend their paychecks is often a reflection of what they think of their companies' prospects.
I don't know about you, but my mother always made me the guinea pig when it came to taste-testing her food for dinner parties.

Making a Summer Flower Patio
Fill a Fruit Crate
Plants can be given a huge visual lift by planting in an elegant, stylish pot or a big, fun container; likewise, collections of plants are boosted by clever groupings. This certainly applies to inexpensive annuals, such as the petunias, Swan River daisies (Brachyscome) and asters, shown here. Pot them up in inexpensive plastic pots and pack them into a fruit crate that has been given a lick of colorful weatherproof paint. Provided the plants are watered, fertilized and deadheaded, they will flourish and by midsummer the pots will be hidden completely beneath a veil of flowers.
Tumbling, Dangling Fuchsias
The best plants for covering an empty wall include bushy fuchsias with spreading, dangling stems that are weighted down when smothered in flowers. There is a huge choice of cultivars, including the white and purple 'Fiona' and the all-red 'Marinka'. Make sure that the flower colors stand out against the background.
Dress Up a Trellis
Trellises are traditionally used to cover an entire wall, for tying in spreading climbers and supporting plants with arching growth. But they can also be used in narrow, vertical spaces with pot plants fastened to them, as here. Make sure that the pots are securely attached, or fix them to the wall behind with screws, to cope with the weight of the soil after watering.
Foliage Foils
When designing your summer-flowering patio, it pays to think hard about the shape, size, color and texture of the foliage, as well as the flowers. Leaves play a key part because they act as a backdrop, a linking element and, in the case of evergreens, essential structure that stands out when the flowering plants are dormant or not in full bloom. Leafy plants to look for include the shapely and glossy, those with variegation and the large and handlike. Also include plants that combine flowers with interesting foliage, such as begonias.
A Cottage Garden in Pots
The prime ingredients of a cottage garden include a fun, carefree design with plants merging into one another, plenty of scent, butterflies and bees and a sea of summer color. Although cottage gardens have a relaxed feel, the most effective are carefully planned, so mixing up a batch of potted plants and letting them get on with it may simply not work. You must stay in control. Make sure that the spreading plants, such as lavender, are in their own pots where they will not overwhelm their neighbors. Check that the big attractions can be clearly seen, although they do not have to be in the foreground. Remember that there's no such thing as a "cottage garden plant," but the emphasis is decidedly on the old-fashioned, not the brand-new. Good choices for pots include daisy-type flowers, dahlias, campanulas, clarkia and cosmos.

Following its debut in the five-door MINI hatch, the new Cooper SD model has been made available in the three-door, too. The 2.0-litre diesel engine produces 168bhp and returns 68.9mpg.
Available from July, the Cooper SD becomes the second quickest in the line-up after the S. It can sprint from 0-62mph in 7.3 seconds with the six-speed manual or 7.2 with the auto. Those times are half-a-second down on the Cooper S.
Where the SD really shines, though, is on fuel economy. The combined figure of 68.9mpg isn't too far off the Cooper D's 74.0mpg and it's a lot lower than the 49.0mpg that the Cooper S is capable of. The 107g/km CO2 emissions will ensure there's no road tax to pay for the first year, either.
As with the Cooper S, the SD gets more aggressive styling, featuring S badges in the grille and an SD badge on the bootlid. It's got a bonnet intake and a pair of exhausts at the rear, too.
The MINI Cooper SD three-door starts from £19,450, with the Cooper S costing from £18,655.

including a couple of 3-pointers in the final 35 seconds to cut it
to a six-point deficit.
Then Charvez Davis hit one of two free throws with 24 seconds
left to make it a three-possession game and the Lobos missed their
3-point attempt, anyway.
Davis finished with 14 points and hit half of Alabama's six
