Just purchased 'Nitros' to be honest I can't say I can see the difference with Facebook.
Yea, I got a free copy of Nitrous (I got a license from the dev) and I've noticed no changes with anything.
it's supposed to speed up apps but it looks like all my apps are in the list so which ones work with Nitrous and which ones dont?
Even if it is $0.99 is it really worth it to do nothing?
I purchased the Nitrous, but it doesn't work. It resprings my device every time I open it. I reinstalled it couple of times, removed it, installed it back, but nothing... Am I missing something?
I see ZERO difference with Nitrous on any app
Nitrous is working great for me. Facebook app responds quicker and when I click to see comments they actually load. Pinterest app actually repopulates pictures as opposed to just reloading the same one. Twitter (tweetbot) is snappier and loads images/websites more quickly. I've seen a different in speed on several other apps too like Olympics Live Extra, Ufc tv, etc.

Major Sports Deals With The NFL, NHL, MLB, PGA Tour And IRL Prove That A Rolling (Bridge)Stone Gathers No Moss
If you are a company that wants to break free from tired marketing and create a lasting impact with millions of consumers, Phil Pacsi, vice president, North America Consumer Tire Marketing, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, explains why it's good to have official alliances with the NFL, MLB, NHL, PGA Tour and the Indy Race League and title sponsorship of two of the hottest events in sports.
By Barry Janoff, Executive Editor
(Posted December 21, 2009)
Bridgestone is not just an all-star player in the tire industry, the company has also become an MVP in sports marketing. The Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations brand is the official tire of the NFL, NHL and PGA Tour, and sibling Firestone last week became the first official tire of MLB, adding to a roster that also includes the Izod IndyCar Series, the Indianapolis 500 and the IndyPro Series. Bridgestone is also able to reach millions of consumers and fans in the U.S. and Canada via sponsorship of two of sports hottest properties: the Super Bowl half time show and the NHL Winter Classic.
More than 150 million people worldwide are expected to watch the Bridgestone Super Bowl XLIV Half Time Show on CBS on Feb. 7, starring The Who, which will mark the company's third consecutive Super Bowl half time (tying a mark set by E*Trade during Super Bowls XXIV, XXV and XXVI).
Bridgestone also plans to air two new TV spots during the Super Bowl, from lead agency The Richards Group, Dallas; previous Bridgestone Super Bowl spots, including one starring Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, another featuring a screaming squirrel and one with Alice Cooper and Richard Simmons, are ranked among the most memorable by numerous marketing and advertising surveys. Bridgestone in 2007-08 had been title sponsor of the NFL's International Series but opted out in 2009 (and was replaced by Pepsi Max).
Nashville, Tenn.-based Bridgestone also will be title sponsor for the second consecutive year of the NHL Winter Classic, to be played Jan. 1 at Boston's Fenway Park. Now entering its third games, the outdoor event has quickly proven to be a favorite among core and casual hockey fans and well as a TV ratings mecca. The Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic on Jan. 1, 2009, played at Chicago's Wrigley Field, aired on NBC and attracted an average of 4.4 million views, the most people to watch a regular-season NHL game since 1975 and 12% higher than the previous year's Winter Classic.
Bridgestone recently extended its deals with the PGA Tour and the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational through 2014, which in 2009 was won by Tiger Woods for the seventh time. However, Bridgestone faces a challenging year in 2010. Its current deals with the NFL and NHL are set to expire, and Woods, golf's No. 1, has taken an indefinite leave of absence from the Tour to resolve personal issues. The economy also led Bridgestones' parent company in Tokyo to end its association with Formula 1 racing at the end of the 2010 season, where the company has supplied tires since 1997 and has been the sole supplier since 2008. Phil Pacsi, vice president, North America Consumer Tire Marketing, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, is Pacsi is responsible for product planning, forecasting, pricing, national advertising, motor sports and promotional programs. He spoke with NYSportsJournalism.com about sports marketing, sports fans and consumer, Tiger Woods and The Who.
NYSportsJournalism.com: What were Bridgestone's marketing challenges and accomplishments in 2009?
Phil Pacsi: Obviously the economy was a huge concern. Balancing expenses versus what was happening in reality to make sure that we were spending our money wisely. One of the things we were very excited about, and the fact that our management was very much in agreement with, was that we have very long-term plans that we had set in place specifically with the Bridgestone brand. Growth of the Bridgestone brand and increase of awareness. We were able to that; we were able to keep a lot of our initiatives with the Bridgestone brand in place. That did not mean we were out spending frivolously. We cut costs, we controlled costs in other ways so that we were able to continue to move forward with key initiatives [such as aligning with Major League Baseball and having exclusive sponsorship of the in-stadium balloting for the 2010 All-Star Game].
NYSJ: Is a key factor driving these decisions the response Bridgestone's marketing alliances get from consumers?
Pacsi: Absolutely. The tire industry has been down. But we have been able to keep pace or show increases in sales throughout the calendar year of 2009. So that is saying that something is working. We look at some of the regular tracking and research that we do and we are seeing movement. People are recognizing Bridgestone more. People are asking more about Bridgestone: Where do I get Bridgestone tires? The awareness levels are also increasing. So those are all positive movements toward our goal of increasing awareness and sales.
NYSJ: The third NHL Winter Classic will be played on Jan. 1, 2010, and it will be the second with Bridgestone as presenting sponsor. What have you tried to do or seen differently between the Winter Classic played at Chicago's Wrigley Field this past Jan. 1 and the upcoming game?
Pacsi: The biggest thing is we made the decision for the 2010 Winter Classic much earlier than we did with the Wrigley Field Winter Classic. The Wrigley Field deal was done maybe a month or two prior to the event. We announced the renewal of our sponsorship for the upcoming Winter Classic well in advance of the 2010 event. So we were on board from the start of the NHL's announcement in July of the Winter Classic and the Fenway Park location. We have been able to take advantage and get the benefits from the point of announcement, including the name integration in the logo. If you saw any of the photos that came out during the NHL's announcement of the Fenway Park Winter Classic, they had a layout of where the rink would be and what Fenway Park would look like, and there was Bridgestone integration in that. So from the first announcement we were associated with the event, which is huge.
NYSJ: Have you found both internally at the company and the response from consumers that the Winter Classic has gone from an oddity to a major property?
Pacsi: Absolutely. It is huge. And it is a crown jewel in the NHL's arsenal of events. We are very excited to be part of it. I believe it was Bob Costas at the 2009 Winter Classic who made a comment during the pre-game show on NBC that the event has quickly become the new standard for entertainment for a sports event on New Year's Day. And we at Bridgestone believe that's true.
"The best-case scenario for us moving forward is to have partnerships with [MLB, NFL and NHL]. That is our intent. We like the performance they are giving us and the positioning with the brand."
NYSJ: The NHL will not have an All-Star Game in 2010 due to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, which also will be on NBC, and the U.S. Olympic Committee is using the Winter Classic broadcast to unveil the players for the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team. What does this say about the impact the event can have on fans, consumers and marketing partners such as Bridgestone?
Pacsi: The importance of the Winter Classic is becoming more pronounced not just to the NHL but to Bridgestone, NHL marketing partners, NBC, the Olympic community and others. It is not just a one-day game, but an event whose importance is being recognized more long-term by more fans, which has enabled us to leverage the property.
NYSJ: Have you been working with the NHL to expand the events surrounding the event?
Pacsi: We have. There will be a Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic Spectator Plaza on Dec. 31 and the day of the game, with interactive events and hockey-themed activities. Bridgestone has been sponsoring a Webcam at NHL.com where you can see the inside of Fenway Park and watch people skating on the rink that will be used for the game. So the event and the surrounding activities have grown and expanded.
NYSJ: Have you been able to make a direct connection between people who watch the Winter Classic and those who buy your products?
Pacsi: We aren't able to delve that deep as yet on that consumer movement, but we are seeing general movement. Bridgestone has been the official tire of the NHL, NHL Players Association and the Hockey Hall of Fame since 2008. We believe that the hockey fan really parallels very nicely with Bridgestone demographics. They are a more tech-savvy fan than any other sport, and we like how that matches up with the technology of our tire brand. And this is not just in the U.S. but also in Canada, which is a huge market for us. So I would say that awareness is definitely up among hockey fans and we feel it is a strong factor in driving sales.
NYSJ: Would Bridgestone want to continue its association with the NHL and the Winter Classic in 2011 and beyond?
Pacsi: Our current deal with the NHL expires after the Stanley Cup this season, and we are in discussions for an extension. We are in negotiations with the league and would want to continue our alliance if it again proves to be beneficial for both sides. It involves not just the Winter Classic but many NHL properties.
NYSJ: The NHL is strongly considering adding a second annual Winter Classic, and there are cities that want to host the game. Would this strengthen or dilute the event?
Pacsi: Adding another Winter Classic is a league decision. Many people would like to have it. But then you have to question if you have one and it has done very well and has been received very well, if you add a second or a third would that dilute or diminish the event? Right now, I don't know. But right now we are very happy to be affiliated with it.
NYSJ: Bridgestone will be title sponsor of the Super Bowl XLIV half time show for the third consecutive season. What will it be like having The Who after Tom Petty at Super Bowl XLII and Bruce Springsteen at Super Bowl XLIII?
Pacsi: We're getting more and more excited about that as it gets closer, and more people I speak with have very big expectations about this half time show. Both with the Winter Classic and the Super Bowl, the biggest problem I personally have is the number of people asking me for tickets. I don't have tickets to give to people. The Winter Classic and the Super Bowl are both difficult to get.
NYSJ: This is Bridgestone's third consecutive Super Bowl half time, which ties a record set by E*Trade (Super Bowls XXIV, XXV, XXVI). Has the impact lessened at all?
Pacsi: The Super Bowl and the half time show have enormous power. People talk about the Super Bowl almost all year, and besides the game itself, they talk about two things: The commercials and the half time entertainment. These elements create a lot of buzz, and to have the Bridgestone name associated with the half time show is an incredible opportunity.
NYSJ: Bridgestone also has had TV commercials during the Super Bowl. Will your new spots during the next game create buzz?
Pacsi: They will. We will have two new commercials [from lead agency The Richards Group, Dallas], and we plan to have some teasers in early January [during the Winter Classic and NFL playoffs] to get the buzz going.
NYSJ: The Winter Classic has gone from zero-to-60 in three years, but the Super Bowl half time show as a major entertainment and marketing event can be traced back to Super Bowl XXVII when Michael Jackson performed. Does it still have room for growth and continued marketing support?
Pacsi: I really think it does. I know that the NFL has been looking at, and continues to look at and access, where it can go and where it needs to go, what should the half time entertainment be. The NFL is looking at Super Bowl L as a milestone event, so I think they are planning a half time show to be a milestone as well.
NYSJ: The NFL moved the Pro Bowl to Miami the week before Super Bowl XLIV, so will that add anything to the Super Bowl buzz?
Pacsi: It will be interesting to see how that works out. Until they see the results, I think the jury is still out on that.
NYSJ: What is Bridgestone's status as the official tire of the NFL and the company's association with the half time show moving forward?
Pacsi: We became the first official tire of the NFL in 2007. Our current deal expires at the end of this season. We are in negotiations with the NFL at this point.
NYSJ: John Baratta, president of consumer tire replacement sales for BATO, said that the new alliance with MLB could elevate the Firestone brand to "new heights of consumer awareness and visibility." Would that be a significant replacement should Bridgestone not remain the official tire of the NFL or the NHL?
Pacsi: The best-case scenario for us moving forward is to have partnerships with [MLB, NFL and NHL]. That is our intent. We like the performance they are giving us and the positioning with the brand. There is always room for improvement but these are things in which we can mutually work together.
NYSJ: Bridgestone is not officially aligned with Tiger Woods. But Bridgestone Golf has a major presence in the sport and Bridgestone recently extended deals as the official tire of the PGA and also as title sponsor of the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational, held in August, where Woods is defending champion and has won the title seven times. If he does not play in 2010, what impact would that have on the Tour?
Pacsi: We've already seen the impact when he missed a significant part of the season in 2008 to recover from knee surgery. It would have a big impact on the TV ratings and on overall awareness. But it is commensurate of the PGA Tour to try to see what they can do keep awareness and interest high, whether it is to build on the other players or in other ways to counteract that Tiger effect and keep their viewers and fans involved.
NYSJ: Bridgestone is heavily involved with sports but alliances tend to be more with events than specific athletes, although you do work with Mark Messier, who is retired. Given what has happened over the past year with Woods, Michael Phelps, Manny Ramirez and others, how do you feel about that strategy, and do you feel that athletes have the power to actually influence consumers?
Pacsi: When we were making our decisions about what we were going to do for the brand, we very seriously looked at individual athletes, we looked at leagues and we looked at high-profile events. For our purposes we felt that the league affiliations and the high-profile events was the position where we needed to be with the brand to get the overall umbrella effect.
NYSJ: Even given the current situation with Woods, are there still positive aspects in aligning with individual athletes?
Pacsi: Using an individual player or endorser does have some benefit, especially when you can look at integration into your product. For instance, our golf division does have some players, and they use the golf equipment. Fred Couples and Brandt Snedeker, who was the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year in 2007. When they do well in tournament play, you receive a lot of brand awareness and you get a lot of exposure. In July the Bridgestone Golf division signed Lee Trevino, who is an epic star in the golf world and has brought some very nice movement to the gold brand. in hockey, our alliance and allegiance with Mark Messier, with whom we sponsor the Mark Messier Leadership Award Presented by Bridgestone (which recognizes an individual as a superior leader in hockey, and as a contributing member of society) and the Mark Messier Youth Leadership Award (to encourage leadership, community spirit and to reward youth hockey players or mentor/coaches for their contributions to youth sports or education). He is a great person and the awards are nice tie-ins to everything that he exemplifies both on and off the ice.
NYSJ: What have been the major shifts in Bridgestone's marketing strategies when looking at ways to reach consumers?
Pacsi: Everything is fair game at this point: traditional marketing, new media, Twitter, Facebook, especially moving into 2010. We put out some feelers into different areas this past year. We are taking it slow, but in 2010 there will be movement into more non-traditional media. That is where everything is going. Our belief has always been that we don't want to put something out there to support a product and not do it right. We may not always be the quickest to respond to new trends but when we do it's the right way. Whether its Facebook or Twitter, we are not just putting a site out there and not have it updated with new information on a regular basis. Many companies do that - the upload a site and then forget about it. But it is dynamic. It constantly needs to be monitored, upgraded and changed.
NYSJ: Looking ahead to 2010, what are Bridgestone's marketing challenges and goals?
Pacsi: We are working on renewing with the NFL and NHL. That is high on the list. The challenges in 2010 will not be unlike those in 2009. We will still feel the effects of the economy. Our goal will be to continue to keep our awareness of the brand out there. Ultimately at some point things are going to break free. We akin buying tires to going to the dentist. It's not something that people want to do - it's something they have to do at times. What we do know is that people are putting off their tire purchases. We hope that when the need does arise that they will remember Bridgestone, put us or keep us in their considerations and be there. We definitely have been reminding people with the things we do that we are out there.

The Colts have signed Jets free agent safety LaRon Landry, the club said Wednesday night.
CBS' Jason La Canfora first reported the Colts-Landry pact. PFT has learned the deal includes $14 million in guarantees — with $11 million guaranteed.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the four-year contract averages $6 million per season.
The 28-year-old Landry recorded 100 tackles for the Jets in 2012 and made the Pro Bowl. He forced a career-best four fumbles and equaled a career-high in interceptions (tw0).
The Landry signing takes another member of the PFT Free Agent Hot 100 off the board. Landry was ranked No. 47 on the list.
Earlier Thursday, former Jets starting tailback Shonn Greene joined the Titans.

Brussels • Goodbye Britain?
For the European Union, a once-unthinkable question is looking more like a real possibility with each new grinding week of economic crisis. The reason is that bad times are forcing the 17 EU nations that use the euro currency to move ever closer toward some kind of United States of Europe one that could make decisions about how much member countries spend and how much tax they collect.
If ever Britain had a nightmare, that's it.
The British public shows no interest in moving closer to the rest of Europe, and most can't even seem to stomach the status quo. The real question these days appears to be whether to drift away or break away abruptly.
After a 2015 election, Britain among 10 of the 27 EU nations that don't use the euro is likely to conduct a referendum on whether to leave the EU. Even if it doesn't hold a vote, the country is already unpicking its ties with Europe, a movement that has unsettled Germany, which is eager to retain the U.K. as an important economic driver of the bloc.
"I will ask the inhabitants of the wonderful island to reflect that they will not be happy if they are alone in this world," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in a speech before visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron last week in London.
Her outreach, however, has little impact across the Channel. British Foreign Secretary William Hague, who once toured the U.K. on a "Save The Pound" campaign that opposed the euro, believes the British public has never been more skeptical of European unity.
People feel that in too many ways the EU is something that is done to them, not something over which they have a say," he said last month.
Such distrust is tangled with worries over the fallout from the European debt crisis and anger at the European Court of Human Rights castigated by British politicians for ordering Britain to give prisoners a vote in national elections, and preventing the U.K. from deporting terrorism suspects to countries with patchy human rights records.
Even more alarming for many in Britain, Merkel called last week for turning the European Commission, which drafts legislation and regulates competition, into "something like a European government." The phrase alone rattles the teeth of many British politicians, who have warned for decades of the specter of a European superstate.
Last month, Cameron faced a huge rebellion within his own party as 81 of the 303 Conservative lawmakers defied his orders and voted to hold an urgent referendum on EU membership in 2015.
Under pressure from his own party and watching nervously as his traditional supporters are wooed by UKIP, a minority political party that advocates EU withdrawal, Cameron is expected to eventually offer Britain its first referendum about staying in the EU since 1973. The opposition Labour Party says it would back holding a vote but only when the eurozone crisis has come to an end.
The trend has political leaders in other countries worried.
"If the eurozone is much more integrated and those outside are far away, the distance can become too wide and too large," Andreas Mavroyiannis, Cyprus' deputy minister for European Affairs, told The Associated Press. And that, he said, would be dangerous for the EU as a whole.
Officials in Brussels are deeply concerned, as well.
"Probably rightly, I've been called an Anglophile," Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, said in a magazine interview this summer. "I believe that Europe without Britain at the heart will be less reform-driven, less open, less an international Europe. That is why sometimes when I look at the debate in the U.K., I ask myself: 'How is it that this country is so open to the world, and apparently so closed to Europe?' It seems a contradiction."
The prospect of a British exit from the EU alarms some British business leaders, who see the bloc's free markets as vital to their nation's prosperity.
"Whatever the popular appeal may be of withdrawal, businessmen and politicians must keep a bridge firmly in place," said Roger Carr, the president of the Confederation of British Industry, the nation's biggest business lobby.
"As countries of Europe bind together in pursuit of salvation, we in the U.K. must work harder to avoid the risks of isolation."
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who left office in 2007 before the debt crisis struck, is another lonely advocate for British leadership in Europe.
"The 21st century case for Europe is based not on war or peace but on power or irrelevance," Blair said last month. "Europe carries weight, multiplies opportunity and makes sense for its individual nations."
He has urged Britain's government not to walk away, but to help build a new structure to help Europe balance the competing demands of the 17 eurozone nations and the remainder of the European Union.
"It is a very tricky task. But it is an essential one if the U.K. is not to be sidelined," Blair said.
Peter Mandelson, a former member of Blair's Cabinet and ex-European Union trade commissioner, warns that going it alone would mean waning influence for Britain on the global stage.
Britain, he said, soon could be a "Hong Kong to Europe's China, or a Canada to Europe's United States."

All a few of us have ever asked is for some form of proof you are legit, then I would hold my hands up and say fair enough, you took the piss but were actually genuine, not much to ask is it? A vid of your fight the other night, pics even, even just statign the event and who you lost to etc, but until I see some proof, sorry but I call troll and always will on the internets.
Plus I have fought - even in Japan where I beat the shit out of Mothra.

WHAT'S GOING to happen with the Pomona Public Library? People ask me that a lot. On the eve of Tuesday's election, let me bring you up to speed.
If Measure X passes Tuesday, the library's continued existence would seem to be assured. If X fails, Pomona might end up with an ex-library.
The library is funded through June 2013, but only at a limping-along level of $400,000, borrowed from the street and sidewalk repair fund. Its hours are minimal: 20 per week.
Measure X is a tax of $38 per household that would provide $1.5 million directly to the library. No monkey business. The ballot language is clear.
Pomona is so broke that city leaders couldn't legally pledge to match that amount out of city coffers, but the measure does promise the library would be open at least 38 hours per week.
Frankly, 38 hours is aiming low - more on that in a moment - but when you're in a pit, you climb out as best you can.
And that first step, as they say, is a doozy. As a parcel tax, X requires 66.7 percent support.
"Two-thirds is a tough threshold to meet," said Mark Gluba, the deputy city manager.
Backers hope for the best, but they're realistic.
"We have the sense it will meet with overwhelming approval," said John Clifford, a member of the advocacy committee. "But whether it will meet 66 or 67 percent, we don't know. It's hard."
In other words, Measure X might get a strong majority from voters but still fail. What happens then?
There's no Plan B.
"Do we start talking to the county? Do we start talking to other organizations that operate libraries?" Clifford wondered aloud.
He's also chairman of the newly revived Pomona Library Foundation. Its aim is to raise money for the library. Some tax-haters may have an unrealistic conception of what that means.
The foundation expects to raise money to "enhance" operations, Clifford said, via grants and donations. But operations have to exist on their own.
"There are no grants for staffing a library," Clifford said.
Clifford is the one who suggested $38 as an appropriate amount for a tax, a sort of Goldilocks middle ground that would be high enough to keep the library afloat but low enough to be palatable, maybe, to the electorate.
He came up with the number on his phone's calculator, dividing $1.5 million - the library's former budget - by the number of households. The figure made sense to everyone and was placed on the ballot by the City Council.
That total amounts to $3.17 per month per household or, as one council member has expressed it, one Starbucks drink per month.
There's no organized opposition to Measure X, although a Realtors' group has said a parcel tax is a poor way to fund an ongoing civic responsibility.
One of them spoke at a council meeting a while back, saying library fans should go door-to-door requesting $10 per person if they want the community of 150,000 to raise $1.5 million.
I see that working like this.
(Knock knock)
HOMEOWNER: Yes?
SUPPORTER: Hi, how many in your family? Five? I'm asking you for $50 to support your local library!
HOMEOWNER (after he stops laughing): Here's $5.
SUPPORTER: (sigh)
(Knock knock)
SECOND HOMEOWNER: Yes?
SUPPORTER: Hi, you have four in your household? I'm asking you for $40 to support your local library!
SECOND HOMEOWNER: That's well worth it. Let me get my checkbook.
SUPPORTER: Um, you also owe an extra $45 for your neighbor who wouldn't pay.
SECOND HOMEOWNER: Here's $5. Goodbye.
In other words, a library tax might not be ideal - although they don't seem to mind one in Pasadena - but desperate times call for desperate measures. Do you want a library or don't you?
I don't know what to make of those who think City Hall has plenty of money but is spending it wrong. I follow the budget and they've been cutting, outsourcing, laying off and delaying.
Back in June the City Council had tentatively agreed to close the library for a year to save $1.5 million before deciding, after an outcry, to keep the doors open with money from the street and sidewalk repair fund.
That $400,000, by the way, is about what the library cost to operate in the 1960s. The entire staff was laid off and about half were hired back as part-timers without benefits.
The bare-bones arrangement is working, sort of.
"We haven't heard any complaints. That's not to say people are happy with it. I think they're happy the doors are open," Gluba told me. "They need a place for their children to study."
Hours are less than half what they were just a few years ago. The facility is open four days per week, five hours at a time. You might have to go back to the late 19th century to find a skimpier schedule at Pomona's library, which was founded in 1887.
"It's hard with only four days to really satisfy everybody," said Muriel Spill, the library manager. "People wish we were open more hours. You hear that a lot."
For some perspective, let's look at the libraries in Rancho Cucamonga and Ontario, two cities of roughly equal population to Pomona.
Both cities offer more than 60 hours per week of library service, triple what Pomona has, and are open seven days per week.
That's what I meant when I said a boost to 38 hours was aiming low. Compared to 20, of course, it's a vast improvement.
Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga's library budgets are roughly $4 million, or 10 times what Pomona is spending.
Unlike Pomona's lone library, the other two cities have two locations each.
How about the budget for new books? Ontario spends $217,000, Rancho Cucamonga $250,000.
Pomona's current books budget? Zero.
"We don't have a budget for books," Spill said. "What we have is a gift from Friends."
Friends of the Pomona Library has raised $3,150 for books. If not for their donation, there would be no new or replacement books for an entire year.
City Hall did budget $3,000 for magazines and periodicals. Friends is seeking donations to keep more magazines that are on the chopping block, as well as donations to buy children's books.
Meanwhile, in Rancho Cucamonga, their budget for not only books but periodicals, DVDs, CDs, ebooks and other media is $400,000 - the entirety of Pomona's library budget.
In Rancho Cucamonga, there would be rioting in the streets if their library - sorry, libraries, plural - had fallen this far. Leading the charge would be moms with strollers. Baby bottles would be turned into Molotov cocktails.
There's a certain complacency in Pomona that may be hard to understand. I don't entirely blame the citizenry. Pomona's civic motto could be City of Low Expectations. People are conditioned not to expect much and are unsurprised when they get it.
It's also hard to get the word out in Pomona. Our Opinion page has endorsed Measure X, but, sad to say, not everyone in town enjoys the peace and contentment that comes from a Daily Bulletin subscription.
Measure X volunteers have been phoning voters and distributing door hangers in neighborhoods with a high voter turnout, Clifford said.
This isn't the first time Pomona voters have been asked to support their library. In 1961, they approved a $1.2 million construction bond, paid from property taxes, to build the current facility at 625 S. Garey Ave.
An ad for the measure, posted on the library's wall as part of a historical timeline, still seems timely.
"Our children are handicapped in business and college without adequate facilities for study or space for new books," it reads.
Over in the children's room last Monday, Aydan Ruiz, 9, had selected 14 books to check out and was looking for two comic books to add to the stack.
"He reads every day," his mother, Luisa, told me.
She finds the current hours inconvenient and was aware the library had been threatened with closure. She was unaware, however, of Measure X.
I told her it was a tax of $38 and would mean 38 hours per week of service. Would she support that?
"For Measure X, I'll vote yes, yeah," Ruiz said. "I don't want to be driving somewhere else."
Well, there's one vote. Tell your friends, Ms. Ruiz.

Demo Descriptions
Demo 1 - The Transition to Blended Learning in First Year Chemistry (20 min)
The course Fundamentals of Chemistry is the first university-level
chemistry course taken by students in the sciences. Enrollment in this
course is large (two sections of approximately 250 students) and
includes students from a number of different programs in Science. This
course is also perceived as one of the more challenging first year
courses. To provide students with additional learning tools, I created a
series of videos which cover some of the fundamental concepts, and then
build on these in lecture. To monitor student progress, I used weekly
online "pre-lecture" quizzes on MyLS and assessed their results to
identify problem areas for discussion and clarification in class. This
was followed by "post-lecture" online homework assignments. I will
demonstrate some of these online learning tools and discuss how the
class time could be adapted as a result of these changes.

Demo 2 (20 min)
Using Collaborative Strategies and Open-source Digital Tools for Critical Evaluation of On-Line Learning Resources: Flipping the Group Assignment
The activity demonstrated in this presentation includes a collaborative, group approach to critical evaluation of web-sites that might be used as sources of information for knowledge construction. Learners negotiate criteria with their group, share those through a Google Spreadsheet with the larger class, and then utilize them to evaluate a particular website. The group assignment is done during class and feedback provided by the instructor on-line.

Dr. Mueller conducts research in the area of technology integration in the classroom and follows her passion for physical activity and its impact on learning.
Demo 3: AF101X - Understanding Power and Conflict through Film: Making Sense of the Politics of the 21st Century (20 min)
In my course, AF101x, I wanted to accomplish two main goals. First, I wanted to introduce students to a number of common social science theories. Second, I wanted to train them so that they could independently use these theories to explain the world around them. Instead of the traditional seminar or lecture format, I decided to "flip my classroom", which meant using classroom time more effectively to assess and strengthen student comprehension and application of course concepts to the real world. In this teaching demo session, I will discuss how I flipped my classroom by taking participants through a sample two week unit on rational choice and game theory.

His main research interests are in the fields of Indigenous-settler relations, Aboriginal self-government, economic development on Canadian Indian reserves, territorial governance in the Canadian north, federalism and multilevel governance, Canadian public policy, and more recently, Canadian voting behaviour.
Demo 4: CH202 - Organic Chemistry I. Fundamentals (20 min)
CH202 is the first of two required courses in organic chemistry
taken by students in Year 2 of several FoS programs (e.g., Chemistry,
Biochemistry & Biotechnology, Biology, Health Sciences). In recent
years, enrollment has been ~300 students in a single lecture section.
Organic chemistry is a challenging subject for many students owing to
the large amount of content that must be covered and the significant
time commitment required to not only understand fundamental concepts but
to practice applying those concepts to solve problems. To assist
students in overcoming the challenges of organic chemistry, I have
adopted a blended format that allows students to take more control of
their learning. I will highlight important course features, present a
typical week in the course and offer insights based on my experiences to

Multnomah University will hold a Day of Prayer on Friday, March 7. This is a day when daytime classes are cancelled, and students are given the opportunity to step back from studies to have a time dedicated to worshiping and seeking God together. The theme of this Day of Prayer is "Reflections of Grace". This will be a time to reflect upon the amazing grace of God which has been extended to us, and how our hearts are responding to God in receiving His grace and in extending it to others.
Students will meet in the JCA student center from 9 to 10:30 for a session of worship in song, reflection and prayer. MU's Chair of Pastoral Ministries Department Dr. Valerie Clemen will guide the time of reflection. Participants will have a short break and then gather in small groups to pray for one another from 10:45 to 12 noon. The small group prayer times will be led by students. The students will meet in affinity groups with their majors and minor, and the seminary and graduate students will meet together for prayer as well. In the afternoon students are invited to participate with at least two other people in prayer walks around the campus. The goal is to cover one another and the ministry of MU in prayer.
Student Feedback
MU's Spiritual Life Committee conducted a recent survey which asked students what they would most appreciate on Day of Prayer. At times the spring Day of Prayer has been held at a retreat center off campus. However, 72% of the students in this survey said that they would prefer to stay on campus. Thus, the Day of Prayer will be held at MU, with an invitation to prayer walk over our campus as well. Students also indicated that they wanted intentional time focused on personal reflection and praying for one another. It was encouraging for the Spiritual Life Committee to hear how highly students valued prayer and wanted to grow in the area of personal prayer. It is our prayer that this time together will strengthen us in our relationships with the Lord, strengthen us as a community honor the Lord, and align our hearts even more with the heart of God.
About the author
Dr. Karen Fancher has worked at Multnomah University since 1998. She is the assistant professor of Pastoral Ministry and the dean of seminary students.

Moving a patient from bed to a wheelchairPivot turn; Transfer bed to wheelchair
Follow these steps to move a patient from bed to a wheelchair. The technique below assumes the patient can stand on at least one leg.
If the patient cannot use his or her leg, you will need to use a lift to transfer the patient.
Think through the steps before you act and get help if you need it. If you are not able to support the patient by yourself, you could injure yourself and the patient.
Make sure any loose rugs are out of the way to prevent slipping. You may want to put non-skid socks or shoes on the patient's feet if the patient needs to step onto a slippery surface.
- Explain the steps to the patient.
- Place the wheelchair on the same side as the patient's good leg.
- Park the wheelchair next to the bed, close to you.
- Put the brakes on and move the footrests out of the way.
Getting a Patient Ready to Transfer
Before transferring into the wheelchair, the patient must be sitting.
- To get the patient into a seated position, roll the patient onto the same side as the wheelchair.
- Allow the patient to sit for a few moments, in case the patient feels dizzy when first sitting up.
- Put one of your arms under the patient's shoulders and one behind their knees. Bend your knees.
- Swing their feet off the edge of the bed and use the momentum to help the patient into a sitting position.
- Move the patient to the edge of the bed and lower the bed so that their feet are touching the ground.
Pivot Turn
If you have a gait belt, place it on the patient to help you get a grip during the transfer. During the turn, the patient can either hold onto you or reach for the wheelchair.
- Stand as close as you can to the patient, reach around their chest, and lock your hands behind the patient or grab the gait belt.
- Place the patient's outside leg (the one farthest from the wheelchair) between your knees for support. Bend your knees and keep your back straight.
- Count to three and slowly stand up. Use your legs to lift.
- At the same time, the patient should place their hands by their sides and help push off the bed.
- The patient should help support their weight on their good leg during the transfer.
- Pivot towards the wheelchair, moving your feet so your back is aligned with your hips.
- Once the patient's legs are touching the seat of the wheelchair, bend your knees to lower the patient into the seat. At the same time, ask the patient to reach for the wheelchair armrest.
If the patient starts to fall during the transfer, lower them down to the nearest flat surface, bed, chair or floor.

Hello, I just started with Western Govenors University (WGU) and I am going to switch from networking to security as my major. In the interest of computer security, I was introduced to Backtrack Linux.
My question to the forum, is what is the suggested computer hardware configuration for the Penetration Testing with BackTrack (PWB) certification?
My dad sent me his old system. Here is what I presently have running with Ubuntu Linux 12.10:
> Micro ATX tower
> 800 watt power supply
> 2 x RealTek Gigabyte NICs
> 1 TB 3Gb/s SATA hard drive
> NVIDIA GeForce 660 Ti (2GB)
> 3 x 23 inch Acer Monitors (and yes it does work on all 3 monitors: 5760 x 1080 resolution) on Ubuntu
> Intel Duo Quad-Core with DDR2 RAM with FSB 1333MHz
> DVDRW drive
> Running Ubuntu 12.10 (64-bit)
My question will this be enough horsepower for the PWB test or should I upgrade?
Options: considering a different Mid-Tower chassis with motherboard upgrade and expansion to NVIDIA GeForce 660TI Quad SLI - but that may be a while since I tight on the cash flow right now.
Thoughts, suggestions?

Why Stockholm? Tiesto says,"I moved to Stockholm in February 2009 and now spend several months there every year. The Swedes are enormously talented in fashion, music and art, which is extremely inspiring for me when I work on new tracks. There are also lots of great clubs within walking distance from the city center that makes Stockholm a very friendly place to party. This mix album perfectly encapsulates my Stockholm Club Life experience."

2005 Porsche 911 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2005 Porsche 911 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Cam tensioner/cam timing issues can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Due to air leaks at various locations, the Check Engine Light may illuminate.
Smoke, oil consumption, and fuel trim issues with various fault codes can be traced to an internal leak at the oil separator.
Valve cover leaks are common.
Engine oil leaks can occur at the rear main seal and/or intermediate support cover o-ring; a revised seal is available. A careful diagnosis with proper tools is necessary to verify dimensional accuracy of the crankshaft to engine block.
A small leak in the coolant reservoir can cause persistent coolant loss. To ensure engine longevity, coolant loss and overheating issues need to be resolved. Out technicians tell us the proper coolant fill procedure must be followed when refiling the cooling system.
Various fuel trim and oxygen sensor limit fault codes can be traced to an internal vacuum leak at the oil separator.
Abnormal noises from the intermediate shaft area may be signs of impending engine failure, don't wait to get this issue checked out!
Pay close attention to warning lights and have the brakes inspected regularly—immediately address any brake problems. Hard driving habits will cause excessive brake pad and rotor wear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AnneofGreenTables from great knife! We love this knife! Very sharp with a comfortable grip.Date published: 2016-07-04Rated 5 out of 5 by maruca81 from Great knife! I purchased 4 of these this holiday season. Originally one for myself and then 3 as Christmas gifts because I loved it so much. The engraving adds a very nice touch. I have used 4 star Henckel knives for nearly 30 years and thought they were the best. I still like them but, I love this knife! It is now my go-to when cooking. Super sharp and very comfortable(I did a lot of chopping during the holidays)!Date published: 2016-01-06Rated 5 out of 5 by BEddie from All Around Great Knife Nice balance, keen edge, a super sharp extension of my arm. I am a big fan of the Wusthof lines of cutlery.Date published: 2015-12-30Rated 5 out of 5 by rnrizslam from Makes a great Gift for a Chef After getting one for my wife, I bought another for our son who is the real chef in our family. He said he has never had a better knife. My wife uses hers everyday. We roast a lot of vegetables. the job is really easier with this Wusthof Santoku.Date published: 2015-05-25Rated 5 out of 5 by SuSu2 from Fits like a glove, cuts like a knife Although, I've had a full set of Henckels Professional S knives for over 15 years and still love them; I went to the Danbury, Ct. W-S store intending to buy a Shun paring knife based upon the customer reviews. Instead, the salesman listened to me about my cooking habits and after holding several knives I went home with this Wustof Classic Ikon 5" Santoku knife. It's comfortable and sharp. An easy knife to reach for when making a salad at 6 a.m. before heading out to work.Date published: 2014-10-26Rated 5 out of 5 by AndreaSpat from This 7" Hollow-Edge Santoku is now my favorite I bought this to replace my 8" chef's knife. This Santoku knife fits my hand perfectly. It's extremely sharp and well-balanced. I've always been a little afraid of cutting my hand while dicing vegetables but this knife fit's my hand so well and is sharp enough so I don't have to use too much pressure to slice through anything be it vegetable, fruit, or meet.Date published: 2014-10-11Rated 5 out of 5 by bbosw from Sharpest Knife in the Drawer My wife gave me this knife several Christmases ago. It was in a "block set" and I had never used a Santoku before; so it lived in the block unnoticed for several years. One Saturday I decided to play the "get to know your knives" game, and never got passed this knife. My "past favorite" veg. slicing knife was a 14 CM Chef, but due to the "rocking chair" curve of the blade, you had to go through a full motion in order to cut through that last green onion on the near side of your gathered bunch. This resulted in a very exaggerated arc of the knife heel. The Santoku has a straiter cutting edge that allows to cut all the way across the bunch of onions with very little movement of the heel and you still have enough blade width to rest your knuckles against. Love it!Date published: 2013-04-07Rated 5 out of 5 by sleeper from feels good, works better The grip is comfortable and secure. The blade is extremely sharp. The blade size is handy for most tasks.Date published: 2013-02-14
