The application of new computational techniques and visualisation technologies in the Arts & Humanities are resulting in fresh approaches and methodologies for the study of new and traditional corpora. This 'computational turn' takes the methods and techniques from computer science to create innovative means of close and distant reading. This edited book aims to discuss the implications and applications of what has been called Digital Humanities and the questions raised when using algorithmic techniques. Within this field there are important debates about the contrast between narrative versus database, pattern-matching versus hermeneutics, and the statistical paradigm versus the data mining paradigm. Additionally, new forms of collaboration within the Arts and Humanities are raised through modular Arts and Humanities research teams and new organisational structures (e.g. Big Humanities), together with techniques for collaborating in an interdisciplinary way with other disciplines (e.g. hard interdisciplinarity versus soft interdisciplinarity). This book draws from key researchers in the field to give a comprehensive introduction to some of the key debates and questions.

Iteracy: Reading, Writing and Running Code
Mark Marino posed a very interesting question on Twitter yesterday, asking:
Who has a good alternative to "literacy" when it comes to programming or reading code? (Marino, 2011).It is something that I have been thinking about too with the concept of digital Bildung and computationality (see Berry 2011). However, I would like to suggest that iteracy might serve as the name for the specific skills used for understanding code and algorithmic culture – as indeed literacy (understanding texts) and numeracy (understanding numbers) do in a similar context. That is, iteracy is specifically the practice or being able to read and write code, rather than the more extensive notion of digital Bildung (see Berry 2011: 20-26).
In short, Bildung is still a key idea in the digital university, not as a subject trained in a vocational fashion to perform instrumental labour, nor as a subject skilled in a national literary culture, but rather as subject that can unify the information that society is now producing at increasing rates, and which understands new methods and practices of critical reading (code, data visualisation, patterns, narrative) and is subject to new methods of pedagogy to facilitate it (Berry 2011: 168).So digital Bildung would include the practices of iteracy and would build on them to facilitate a broader humanistic or critical education. Here, then, iteracy is defined broadly as communicative competence in reading, writing and executing computer code.
Iteration itself, is a term used in computing to refer to the repetition of a command, code fragment, process, function, etc. Understanding iteration is a crucial skill for developing programming skills as it is a means of re-using existing processes (looping structures). But also, iteration itself, combined with constant improvements, is a key way of developing software/code (very much associated with agile programming, for instance). An example of iteration in C++ code is:
int loop = 1;
while (loop <= 10)
cout << "Iteration #" << loop << endl;
Here though I want to broaden the meaning of iteracy beyond mere looping structures in programming code. What skills, then, might be associated with this notion of iteracy?[1]
- Computational Thinking: being able to devise and understand the way in which computational systems work to be able to read and write the code associated with them. For example abstraction, pipelining, hashing, sorting, etc. (see Wing 2011).
- Algorithms: understanding the specifically algorithmic nature of computational work, e.g. recessions, iteration, discretisation, etc.
- Reading and Writing Code: practices in reading/writing code require new skills to enable the reader/programmer to make sense of and develop code in terms of modularity, data, encapsulation, naming, commentary, loops, recursion, etc.[2]
- Learning programming languages: understanding one or more concrete programming languages to enable the student to develop a comparative dimension to hone skills of iteracy, e.g. procedural, functional, object-oriented, etc.
- Aesthetics of Code: developing skills related to appreciating the aesthetic dimension of code, here I am thinking of 'beautiful code' and 'elegance' as key concepts (see Oram and Wilson 2007).
- Data and Models: understanding the significance and importance of data, information and knowledge and their relationships to models in computational thinking.
- *Critical Code Studies: critical approaches to the study of computer source code. Marino argues: 'that we no longer speak of the code as a text in metaphorical terms, but that we begin to analyze and explicate code as a text, as a sign system with its own rhetoric, as verbal communication that possesses significance in excess of its functional utility... In effect, [Marino proposes] that we can read and explicate code the way we might explicate a work of literature in a new field of inquiry' (Marino 2006).[3]
- *Software Studies: critical approaches to the study of software (as compiled source code), particularly large-scale systems such as operating systems, applications, and games. Alternatively this also includes the use of software to study other things, like culture (see Manovich 2008), which Manovich calls Cultural Analytics (Williford 2011). It might also entail the study of the use of software historically (see Ensmenger 2010). One important aspect of this is to focus on computer/technical systems within society and culture - for example the Internet, the email system, mobile data, the HTTP protocol, etc.
I therefore see iteracy as developing the ability to reason critically and communicate using discourse to discuss, critique and study the medium of computer code[4]. Although I have kept critical code studies and software studies within the domain of iteracy I am tempted to place these approaches within the broader definition of digital Bildung, more specifically as methods and approaches related to critical inquiry of computationality (Berry 2011) or the post-digital society more generally (hence the 'scare stars'). For example, Douglass (2007) poses the question:
So how do Software Studies and Critical Code Studies relate... Both are larger critical perspectives (on software and source code, respectively) that aim at a deeper understanding of digital, computational art and culture. How do they relate to each other? That is a thornier question, and perhaps unproductive at this early stage in the game when each term is a flag to rally round rather than a nation with well-defined borders. Each could arguably be defined as a subfield of the other, although I suspect what we have here is a classic Venn diagram arrangement with a high degree of potential overlap. The question will be easier to resolve when we move from proposed themes to formal definitions of methodologies. If software studies is centered around the phenomena of computation, and critical code studies is centered on the ephemera of uncompiled source, what are the distinctions (and hence advantages) that each perspective offers the other? (Douglass 2007).
One last thought: although I make the link between iteracy and looping/repetition, I think it is probably more accurate to think of iteration not as a circle but as a spiral. That is, that learning builds on previous learning and skills in a virtuous upward spiral that develops competence and capabilities.[5]
Update: See this attempt to turn the discourse into code
[1] These are offered as a first draft of the kinds of skills iteracy might require. They remain very much a work in progress.
[2] Of course computers read and write code too. We could therefore say that non-human entities have delegated iteracy.
[3] Here I am bracketing the question over the boundaries between software studies and critical code studies but Douglass attempted a definition as '[f]or simplicity in these examples I'm imagining "the domain of software" as "computation, its penumbra as pre-computation, post-computation, imagined computation, representations of computation" and so-forth. "Code," in the sense Mark uses it in his writings on Critical Code Studies, are something like "human-readable and writeable representations relating to software."' (Douglass 2007). Whist being fully aware of the difficulties of these definitions and acknowledging that they are still under contestation, this has some heuristic value in appreciating the general positions of the two camps.[4] There is an interesting question about whether we can read code without any recourse to notions of computation. Personally I do not see any reason why code cannot be read as a self-standing or even historical text. Reading within the horizon of the program itself might be very productive, particularly for large scale systems that are extremely self-referential and intertextual.
[5] Naturally this reminds me of Hegel's notion of History as a spiral. It also is evocative of notions of dialectics as a means of learning and education.

Messianic Media: Notes on the Real-Time Stream
A stream is a dynamic flow of information (e.g. multi-modal media content). They are instantiated and enabled by code/software and a networked environment (see Berry 2011a). They are increasing part of the digital media ecology including:
- notification streams (what you should know, @mentions)
- activity streams (what are people doing?)
- news and media streams (news and reporting, financial data, etc.)
- 'pure' or branded streams (recognised entities, human and non-human)
- aggregated or 'mixed' streams (streams of streams)
Importantly, the real-time stream is not just an empirical object; it also serves as a technological imaginary, and as such points the direction of travel for new computational devices and experiences. Of course, the 'real-time' itself is a mediated construct, created in software and managed through careful processing and presentational cues for the user. After all, the mere passing through computation creates some latency, or data lag, which is different for each system, that marks it as already in the past before the user receives it as a feedback loop. But this latency in real-time response, which may be micro or milliseconds, may also be disguised from the user through various forms of design transitions, computational techniques or anticipatory processing which makes the experience of real-time feel as if it is truly real-time. Indeed, the real-time experience itself may also be jarring and with the speed of networks and computation increasing, some platforms and software systems build in techniques to soften the real-time flow using interface techniques, such as sliding "cards". The latency produced by real-time streaming systems is due in part to the feedback loops built into the software.
A feedback loop involves four distinct stages. First comes the data: A behavior must be measured, captured, and stored. This is the evidence stage. Second, the information must be relayed to the individual, not in the raw-data form in which it was captured but in a context that makes it emotionally resonant. This is the relevance stage. But even compelling information is useless if we don't know what to make of it, so we need a third stage: consequence. The information must illuminate one or more paths ahead. And finally, the fourth stage: action. There must be a clear moment when the individual can recalibrate a behavior, make a choice, and act. Then that action is measured, and the feedback loop can run once more, every action stimulating new behaviors that inch us closer to our goals (Goetz 2011).This imaginary of everyday life, a feedback loop within and through streams of data is predicated on the use of technical devices that allow us to manage and rely on these streaming feeds. This combined with an increasing social dimension to the web, with social media, online messaging and new forms of social interaction, allows behaviour to be modified in reaction to the streams of data received. However, the technologies to facilitate the use of these streams are currently under construction and open to intervention before they become concretised into specific forms. We can ask questions about how participative we want this stream-based ecology to be, how filtered and shaped to we want it, who should be the curators, and who we can we trust to do this.
Cognitively, it is argued that streams are also suited to a type of reading called 'distant reading' as opposed to the 'close reading' of the humanities (Berry 2011a; Moretti 2007). This 'close reading' created a certain type of subject: narrativised, linear, what McLuhan called 'typographic man'. At present there is a paradoxical relationship between the close reading of current taught reading practices and the distant reading required for algorithmic approaches to information. To illustrate, books are a great example of a media form that uses typographic devices for aiding cognition for 'close' reading: chapters, paragraphs, serif fonts, avoiding textual 'rivers' and white space. Most notably these were instantiated into professional typographic practices that are themselves now under stress from computational algorithmic approaches to typesetting and production. Close reading devices required a deep sense of awareness in relation to the the reader as a particular subject: autonomous, linear, narrativised and capable of feats of memory and cognitive processing. Devices were associated with a constellation of practices that were surrounded around the concept of the author (see Berry 2011b).
The future envisaged by the corporations, like Google, that want to tell you what you should be doing next (Jenkins 2010), presents knowledge as a real-time stream, creating/curating what they call 'augmented humanity'. As Hayles (1999) states:
Modern humans are capable of more sophisticated cognition than cavemen not because moderns are smarter... but because they have constructed smarter environments in which to work (Hayles 1999: 289).In a real-time stream ecology, the notion of the human is one that is radically different to the 'deep attention' of previous ages. Indeed, the user will be constantly bombarded with data from a thousand (million) different places, all in real-time, and requiring the complementary technology to manage and comprehend this data flow to avoid information overload. This, Hayles (2007) argues, will require 'hyper attention'. Additionally this has an affective dimension as the user is expected to desire the real-time stream, both to be in it, to follow it, and to participate in it, and where the user opts out, the technical devices are being developed to manage this too through curation, filtering and notification systems. Of course, this desiring subject is therefore then expected to pay for these streaming experiences, or even, perhaps, for better filtering, curation, and notification streams as the raw data flow will be incomprehensible without them.
Search, discovery and experimentation requires computational devices to manage the relationship with the flow of data and allows the user to step into and out of a number of different streams in an intuitive and natural way. This is because the web becomes,
A stream. A real time, flowing, dynamic stream of information — that we as users and participants can dip in and out of and whether we participate in them or simply observe we are [...] a part of this flow. Stowe Boyd talks about this as the web as flow: "the first glimmers of a web that isn't about pages and browsers" (Borthwick 2009).Of course, the user becomes a source of data too, essentially a real-time stream themselves, feeding their own narrative data stream into the cloud, which is itself analysed, aggregated, and fed back to the user and other users as patterns of data. This real-time computational feedback mechanism will create many new possibilities for computational products and services able to leverage the masses of data in interesting and useful ways. This might allow the systems being designed to auto-curate user-chosen streams, to suggest alternatives and to structure user choices in particular ways (using stream transformers, aggregation and augmentation). In some senses then this algorithmic process is the real-time construction of a person's possible 'futures' or their 'futurity', the idea, even, that eventually the curation systems will know 'you' better than you know yourself. This means that the user is 'made' as a part of the system, that is, importantly the user does not ontologically precede the real-time streams, rather the system is a socio-technical network which:
is not connecting identities which are already there, but a network that configures ontologies. The agents, their dimensions and what they are and do, all depend on the morphology of the relations in which they are involved (Callon 1998).Nevertheless, it seems clear that distant reading of streams will become increasingly important. These are skills that at present are neither normal practice for individuals, nor do we see strong system interfaces for managing this mediation yet. This distant reading will be, by definition, somewhat cognitively intense, strengthening the notion of a 'now' and intensifying temporal perception. This is a cognitive style reminiscent of a Husserlian 'comet' subjectivity, with a strong sense of self in the present, but which tails away into history. It would also require a self that is strongly coupled to technology which facilitates the possibility of managing a stream-like subjectivity in the first place. Indeed, today memory, history, cognition and self-presentation are all increasingly being mediated through computational devices and it is inevitable that to manage the additional real-time streams data flows new forms of software-enabled systems will be called for.
Above we gestured already towards the softwarization of 'close reading' and the changing structure of a 'preferred reader' or subject position towards one that is increasingly algorithmic (of course, this could be a human or non-human reader). Indeed it is suggestive that as a result of these moves to real-time streams that we will see the move from a linear model of narrative, exemplified by books, to a 'dashboard of a calculation interface' and 'navigational platforms', exemplified by new forms of software platforms. Indeed, these platforms, and here we are thinking of a screenic interface such as the iPad, allow the 'reader' to use the hand-and-eye in haptic interfaces to develop interactive exploratory approaches towards knowledge/information and 'discovery'. This could, of course, still enable humanitistic notions of 'close reading' but the preferred reading style would increasingly be 'distant reading'. Partially, or completely, mediated through computational code-based devices. Non-linear, fragmentary, partial and pattern-matching software taking in real-time streams and presenting to the user a mode of cognition that is hyper attention based coupled with real-time navigational tools.
Lastly, more tentatively we would like to suggest an interesting paradox connected with the real-time stream, in that it encourages a comportment towards futurity. This, following Derrida, we would call 'Messianic' (a structure of experience rather than a religion) (Derrida 1994: 211), connecting the real-time stream to an expectation or an opening towards an entirely ungraspable and unknown other, a 'waiting without horizon of expectation' (Derrida 1994: 211). As Derrida writes:
Awaiting without horizon of the wait, awaiting what one does not expect yet or any longer, hospitality without reserve, welcoming salutation accorded in advance to the absolute surprise of the arrivant from whom or from which one will not ask anything in return and who or which will not be asked to commit to the domestic contracts of any welcoming power (family, state, nation, territory, native soil or blood, language, culture in general, even humanity), just opening which renounces any right to property, any right in general, messianic opening to what is coming, that is, to the event that cannot be awaited as such, or recognized in advance therefore, to the event as the foreigner itself, to her or to him for whom one must leave an empty place, always, in memory of the hope—and this is the very place of spectrality (Derrida 1994: 81).The Messianic refers to a structure of existence that involves waiting. Waiting even in activity, and a ceaseless openness towards a future that can never be circumscribed by the horizons of significance that we inevitably bring to bear upon the possible future.
Derrida, like Benjamin, situates the messianic in a moment of hesitation. For Benjamin, that moment is one of "danger"; the past flashes up before disappearing forever. For Derrida, it is a moment of haunting; the spectral other makes its visitation in the disjunction between presence and absence, life and death, matter and spirit, that conditions representation. Although the messianic "trembles on the edge" of this event, we cannot anticipate its arrival. Because the arrival is never contingent upon any specific occurrence, the messianic hesitation "does not paralyze any decision, any affirmation, any responsibility. On the contrary, it grants them their elementary condition" (Specters 213). The moment of hesitation - the spectral moment - enables us to act as though the impossible might be possible, however limited the opportunities for radical change may appear to be in our everyday experiences. The global communications networks, although often invasive and dangerously reductive, also serve as privileged sites of messianic possibility precisely because of their accelerated virtualization (Tripp 2005).This futurity raises important questions about the autonomy of the human agent, coupled as it is with the auto-curation of the stream processing not just providing information to but actively constructing, directing and even creating the socio-cognitive conditions for the subjectivity of the real-time stream, algorithmic humanity. A subject with a comportment towards awaiting which forgets and makes present. Or as Derrida suggests:
It obliges us more than ever to think the virtualization of space and time, the possibility of virtual events whose movement and speed prohibit us more than ever (more and otherwise than ever, for this is not absolutely and thoroughly new) from opposing presence to its representation. "real time" to "deferred time," effectivity to its simulacrum, the living to the non-living, in short, the living to the living-dead of its ghosts (Derrida 1994: 212).

Last week I told you about health insurer Anthem's data breach affecting more than 80 million customers. This week, I'm telling you about scam artists who are sending phony "Anthem" emails that pretend to help customers, but actually phish for their personal information.
Love is a powerful thing. So when a loved one calls or emails, saying they're in trouble, you'd want to help, right? If they ask you to send cash immediately — should you follow your heart?
Last week, hackers hit Anthem, the nation's second-largest health insurance company. As many as 80 million customers had their account information stolen. The pilfered data includes names, birth dates, medical IDs, Social Security numbers, street addresses, email addresses and employment information.
If you're worried about your personal information ending up in the wrong hands, the FTC has a helpful reminder. A credit freeze, also known as a security freeze, lets you limit access to your credit report, which makes it more difficult for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name.
"Hello, we have been trying to reach you. This call is officially a final notice from the IRS, Internal Revenue Service. The reason of this call is to inform you that IRS is filing a lawsuit against you." That was the message on my answering machine when I returned home from work.
There's the "A List," and then there's the "D List." I know which one I don't want to be on. Now the FTC has its own version of the "D" List — its list of banned debt collectors.
Tax identity theft is the theme of the week, but it's not the only tax scam we're talking about. Complaints to the FTC about IRS imposter scams have shot up over the last year — by almost 50,000 complaints.
Here's what happens: You get a call from a scammer pretending to be with the IRS, saying you'll be arrested if you don't pay taxes you owe right now. You're told to wire it or put it on a prepaid debit card. They might threaten to deport you or say you'll lose your driver's license. Some even know your Social Security number, and they fake caller ID so you think it really is the IRS calling.
Looking for a practical way to help friends, family, and your community? We've got one: warn them about tax identity theft and IRS imposters.
This week is Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week — and a good time to think about what you can do. Here are three ideas to get you started:
When the headlines change, scammers follow: Natural disaster? Charity scams will follow. Medicare open season? Health care scams will follow. So we know from experience that, when immigration is in the headlines, scams will follow.
Here are some things to keep in mind if you're in the immigration process – or would like to be – regardless of what's in the news.
Tax season is getting close — and for some people, so is an experience with tax identity theft or IRS imposters. Tax identity theft happens when someone uses your Social Security number to get a tax refund or a job. You usually find out something's wrong after you file your tax return.
Also, IRS imposters work year-round — posing as the IRS when they call and say you owe taxes. They even threaten to arrest you if you don't put money on a prepaid debit card and tell them the card number. They might know all or part of your Social Security number, and can fake caller ID information to make it look like it really is the IRS calling. But it's not. Ever.
We began 2014 by announcing that a court ordered Oro Marketing to temporarily shut down operations for bogus business practices. This phone fraud targeted Spanish-speaking Latinos, promising them packages of high-end goods that they could – supposedly – re-sell to make extra money. The company charged between $400 and $490 for the packages, but only delivered low-quality, off-brand products that were impossible to sell. According to the FTC, no one made any money – except the defendants, who misled people to steal their money.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the nation's consumer protection agency. The FTC works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace.

A London bus driver allegedly kicked a gay couple off his bus and hit them with a barrage of homophobic abuse after he saw the pair kissing.
Jack James, 23, and his partner were travelling on a number 89 bus near Blackheath when the driver apparently told them to get off, the London Evening Standard reported.
Mr James told the newspaper: "We were chatting away when my partner gave me a peck on the lips.
"The bus driver shouted 'Oi you two don't do that on my f****** bus or you can get off, I don't want to watch that."
He said that the did not at first think that the driver was addressing them, but when he questioned him he was told: "Yes, it's my bus it is my rules and I don't want to watch that, it's disgusting, get off the bus"
Mr James claimed: "Once we got off the bus we were fuming and I was shaking. The bus stopped again and he shouted and told us we were not real men and we should f*** off."
Richard Lane, a spokesman for gay rights charity Stonewall, told The Independent: "London might be viewed as a tolerant and diverse city, but gay people still all too often face abuse and ridicule.
"We hope TFL looks in to this issue as a matter of urgency so that all passengers - regardless of their sexual orientation - feel safe on public transport."

She said to him on Channel 4 News: "I'm taking this step today so young people don't have to listen to the kind of teaching you peddle, because it damages people."
Jason Alden/The Independent
10/17 Tom Daley
The 20-year-old Olympic diving champion came out in an emotional YouTube video in December 2013, saying he was 'dating a guy' and in April this year said on ITV's Celebrity Juice 'I am a gay man now.' This week Daley encouraged gay footballers to come out: 'I think people would be surprised how supported they'd be if they were to come out in a football environment,' he said at the Leaders in Sport conference in London.
11/17 Thomas Hitzlsperger
Speaking of footballers, the German, former Aston Villa player, Thomas Hitzsperger, became the highest profile footballer to be openly gay in January this year – he told the German newspaper, Die Zeit: 'It's been a long and difficult process… only in the last few years have I realised that I preferred living with a man.' The 31-year-old retired from the game in 2013 because of injuries. He said that he had thought about coming out earlier while he was still playing for Wolfsburg, but was warned against it. Afterwards he said 'there was not precedent, so people could only speculate on what would happen.'

12/17 Andreja Pejic
Andreja Pejic is known as the striking Australian model who has done shoots for Elle and Vogue, as a man modelling womenswear.

13/17 Sam Smith
The singer and rising star of 2014 came out officially in May this year when he said his album was about unrequited love for a man. Speaking to the Fader he said: 'In the Lonely Hour is about a guy that I fell in love with last year and he didn't love me back. I think I'm over it now, but I was in a very dark place. I kept feeling lonely in the fact that I hadn't felt love before.'
Getty Images
14/17 Charlie King
The 29-year-old former The Only Way is Essex star Charlie King said he was gay in an interview with This Morning, only this month. In the interview he said he wanted to be honest about his sexuality to help other people in the same situation feel more comfortable about it.
15/17 Michael Sam
The 24-year-old was virtually unknown at the start of 2014 but came out in February and went on to become the first openly gay NFL player in the history of American football, hitting the headlines all over the world. He was picked up and then dropped in August by the St Louis Rams, and then became part of the Dallas Cowboys practice squad. He said in the New York Times: 'I'm Michael Sam, I'm a football player and I'm gay.'
Getty Images
16/17 Hodor!
The actor, Kristian Nairn, famed for his portrayal of the gentle giant Hodor on Game of Thrones came out in March this year. He told the Wall Street Journal he didn't fit the stereotype of what a gay man is supposed to look like: 'You have to be thin, you have to be tanned… that's never been be me.' He said he 'wanted to show the world that we are varied people, as everyone else, you don't have to be any way.'
17/17 Ian Thorpe
Australia's swimming champion Ian Thorpe denied being gay for years and did not feel comfortable coming out until July this year in an interview with Michael Parkinson. Thorpe is a five-time Olympic gold medallist and has recently retired from the sport, in his 2012 autobiography he said he was straight, and in July he said that being gay was something he was only just telling people: 'This is only something that very recently, we're talking the past two weeks, I've been comfortable telling the closest people around me.'
Getty Images
Transport for London (TFL) have launched an investigation into the complaint. They will analyse available CCTV footage but are said to have already identified the driver purportedly involved.
The alleged incident occurred at around 10.30pm on 8 August.
The news comes after it was reported last week that a lesbian couple in Sainsbury's were told to stop kissing when a customer apparently complained that it was "disgusting".
Student Annabelle Paige and her girlfriend were at the Brighton branch of the supermarket chain on 12 October when they were asked to leave by a security guard.
Sainsbury's subsequently apologised and gave its support to a "Big Kiss-In" held at the branch on 15 October. Dozens of people descended on the store and kissed one another to protest against the women's treatment and show that they "like kissing and hate homophobia".Reuse content

acer predator g3-710 gaming desktop is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joel86 from Fast, Well Styled and Quiet! I purchased this item a month ago and have been taking the PC through its paces. From day to day typical use, to maximising graphics on various current titles. For quite reasonable specs, the PC performs very well. It boots Windows 10 in less time than it takes me to sit down. The system, even whilst under demanding graphical load, is completely silent. First star for me. I've noticed on many systems like this, to be pre-loaded with many hindering programs, relating to their branding. So far I have not experienced any issues with speed or operation with this system and have not had to wade through crippling applications and anti-virus software. Second star for me. The case to me looks awesome and is very aggressive. It isn't for everyone, but for those who like the style, they will love it. The PC also came with a Keyboard and Mouse to match, whilst although I didn't need these, they seem to be great quality and will serve as backups if the need ever arises. Third star for me. Although I have not used the factory over-clocking as of yet (I have had no need to), it has been one of the most stable platforms I've used. Even in the peaks of summer heat, constant gaming barrage, constant on/off operation, it hasn't skipped a beat. It hasn't even had a moment of hesitation, nor an issue (nil issues at all) requiring a reboot. Fourth star for me. All in all, very happy with the purchase. The only reason I've given it 4 stars (aside from not having half stars) is it's price point. Although very competitive on a piece by piece valuation, it still leans on the expensive side. But if this has avoided compromising on quality, I'd happily pay the difference over again. It is a wicked system. Highly recommended for those who want an out of the box, high end gaming system, which boots within seconds of hooking in the cables. For me, has been nothing short of a pleasure to use. If I had to make the choice again, I'd own another.

With Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah raking up the Ram Temple issue in Ayodhya ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls scheduled next year, the Congress Party on Wednesday alleged that the saffron party was making desperate attempts to keep the issue alive for political gains.
Congress leader Pramod Tiwari asked why the BJP president is not taking action against party members who often make communal remarks in the Ayodhya issue .
"Stop such two-faced talks Amit Shah ji. If what you have said is the party's stand then why don't you take action against those making statements otherwise? You do not want to solve the issue, but just want to keep it alive for political gains," Tiwari told ANI.
The BJP president, who was briefing the media in Lucknow on Tuesday,said that Ram Janmabhoomi is a part of his party's election manifesto.
"We have specified that a Ram temple should be made on the site either after a consensus or by the directions of court. This is our firm stand," he said.

text: Hi all, Great forum, wish I had found it sooner. I'm going to start this just as every other newbie and ay how I have searched through every web page ever created and not found my answer. I've just puchased a WinTv Usb external tv card (as I'm using a laptop) and tried to put my Telewest cable through. Of course this is not working otherwise this thread would be pointless !. I tried placing the card infront of the STB, which didn't work but hardly surprising as it needs decoding first. However it did find virtually all the channels when searching (although none of them are watchable). I then tried taking out the connection to the TV (much to my girlfriends upset) and putting the connection into the Hauppauge WinTv. This time it only found one channel but still is not able to watch. I understand that it is likely I can only watch and record the channel on the STB and not remote change this via the laptop. However it would be nice just to be able to watch something. I hope this all makes sense and that someone can help. Thanks Jamie Denny

Originally posted on Fox Sports North | Last updated 4/25/13
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. The Minnesota Vikings are known for ending the fall of top prospects in the NFL Draft. They did it again Thursday. Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd was once considered a potential top-five pick, but he slipped to No. 23 before Minnesota ended his slide with the first of two first-round picks. Floyd, 21, was an early entrant, coming off a season in which he had 46 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and three sacks for the Gators. The 6-foot-3, 297-pound Floyd is considered an athletic tackle who is quick off the snap. Four of the Vikings' top six defensive lineman will be free agents after the 2013 season, and Floyd could be the eventual replacement for longtime veteran Kevin Williams, who restructured his contract this offseason to guarantee his 2013 salary but had the 2014 portion of his deal deleted in the process. Minnesota also owns the No. 25 pick in the first round, a pick acquired from the Seattle Seahawks in the Percy Harvin trade. Follow Brian Hall on Twitter.
