Many people question the value of Windows 8 over Windows 7, especially if you're using a traditional computer and not a touch screen tablet. Windows Task Manager got a big overhaul in Windows 8, and now gives a lot more useful information in a layout that's far easier to understand. Continue reading

The Mud Hens only managed five hits, but they also drew eight walks en route to putting up five runs on the board. Audy Ciriaco homered and Omir Santos doubled for the cause. Matt Young used a pair of walks to reach base three times.
Adam Wilk got the opening day start for the Hens. He went five scoreless innings with six strikeouts while allowing only one hit and one walk. Brayan Villarreal was the first pitcher in relief -- he gave Toledo two scoreless innings and three strikeouts (no walks).
Altoona 4, Erie 2 -- AA
The SeaWolves fall to 0-2 as they managed to scratch out only two runs. Michael Rockett was the only multi-hit player; he had a triple and a single. Jamie Johnson drew a pair of walks and scored a run.
Zack Segovia was the starting pitcher for Erie, but he didn't last through five innings after allowing nine hits and three earned runs. Kelvin De La Cruz pitched an inning and a third and struck out three.
Lakeland 4, Tampa 2 -- A+
The Lakeland offense was lead by third baseman Nick Castellanos who ended the night with two doubles and two walks in five plate appearances. Tyler Collins also chipped in three hits, including a double.
Kevin Eichhorn had a nice outing on the mound. He threw six innings with four strikeouts, six hits, one walk, and only one unearned run. Bruce Rondon blew the save in relief (1 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 2 SO, 0 BB, 0 HR), but the offense picked him up and he ended up recording a Valverdian win.
Dayton 3, West Michigan 2 -- A
The Whitecaps could only push across two runs (their first two of the season) in the loss to Dayton. Danry Vasquez reached base in each of his four plate appearances with three singles and a walk. Curt Casali blasted a solo home run in the losing effort.
Thomas Collier went four strong innings in a starting effort. He struck out six, walked on, and only allowed a single (unearned) run to score. Tim Kelley and Michael Torrealba combined for four innings and five strikeouts in relief before Daniel Bennett blew the save and recorded the loss.

The Toledo Mud Hens (AAA) did not play. They open their season tomorrow versus Indianapolis at 5:00 PM.Altoona 7, Erie 4 – AA
Rawley Bishop (2-3, 2B, BB), Tony Plagman (1-2, 2 BB), and Jamie Johnson (2-5, 2B) each reached base multiple times, and catching prospect Rob Brantly homered, but the SeaWolves couldn't come up with enough offense to overcome a poor pitching night.Jay Voss got the start, but he was pulled after 4.2 innings and five runs allowed. He struck out two, walked two, and allowed a home run.
The Lakeland Flying Tigers offense erupted for eight runs as five players came away with a multi-hit game. Tyler Collins and Avisail Garcia had three hits apiece while Daniel Fields, James Robbins, and James McCann each had two hits. Top hitting prospect Nick Castellanos was 1-5 with two strikeouts in his Advanced-A debut.Left-hander Alex Burgos got the ball for Lakeland and went on to record the win. He gave the club six innings with five strikeouts while allowing three walks.
The Whitecaps offense was quiet in the season opener. They only recorded four hits (all singles) and failed to push a runner across the plate. Eugenio Suarez, Aaron Westlake, Steven Moya, and Dean Green each had one hit. Catcher Curt Casali walked three times. 18 year old Danry Vasquez went 0-4 with two strikeouts.Josue Carreno was the starting pitcher for the Whitecaps. He pitched 3.1 innings and allowed three earned runs on seven hits and two walks.

But we saw a different side of Verlander last season as he tore through the American Legue en route to a Cy Young and an MVP award. He dialed the fastball back in the opening innings, he mixed his pitches, and steadily ramped up the velocity as the game progressed and when he needed that 'little extra' to get out of a jam. But it wasn't simply his pitching strategy that changed, it was demeanor as well. Gone was his former 'JV scowl' that would appear when he would hit a road bump, and gone was the stubbornness to (attempt to) will his pitches past hitters. In their stead was a calm confidence and control that displayed his complete trust in his ability to truly pitch (not throw) himself through any situation.

Tigers are set with their 27 man roster (as @PhilCokesBrain put it) with Brandon Inge hitting the disabled list with the sore groin and Drew Smyly staying in the minor leagues for his first start. And so we must wait for a resolution for two of the three 'big' position battles of the spring.
The first battle, the final (6th?) outfield spot, will be officially decided by April 12, when Smyly will need to be added to the active roster to make his Major League debut. Either Andy Dirks will be optioned to the minor leagues, or Clete Thomas will be designated for assignment (after which he will most certainly clear waivers and end up in Toledo).
But the hot topic all spring was the heated battle for the third sting utility infielder position. I hope the rest of baseball gets to enjoy the type of minutia that we've enjoyed. This contest won't be officially settled until Inge is eligible to come off the disabled list on April 13.
But I don't think there's any question what the move will be. Inge will be activated and Danny Worth will be sent down to Toledo. I really don't see any way that the Tigers would string Inge along for 15 days only to cut bait once he's eligible to play. It's possible that the Tigers use the extra days to work out a trade, any trade, with a team willing to take even a dollar of Inge's salary, but the line up of takers for any deal involving Inge probably looks like that scene from Mary Poppins where all of the nanny candidates are blown away in the wind and only a neighborhood dog is left waiting by the door.no comments
The internal battle for the final spot in the Tigers' starting rotation appears to be down to the final two players as the Tigers have announced that Andy Oliver has been optioned to AAA Toledo. He follows Casey Crosby, Adam Wilk, and Jacob Turner as fifth starter candidates to be relegated to the minor leagues. Only Duane Below and Drew Smyly remain from the initial group of six pitchers in contention for the spot.
If we are going 'by the numbers' then Smyly maintains a fairly significant advantage over Below, but the spring performance gap isn't quite as extreme as the surface numbers indicate.
no comments
We still have no idea who the fifth starting pitcher will eventually be for the Detroit Tigers, but it's completely possible that they break camp in a couple of weeks with only four starters on their 25 man roster.
The Tigers won't need a fifth starter until at least April 11 (and they could wait as long as April 14). The way the spring pitching schedule appears to be set right now, the candidates for the final spot would see their final (big league) spring training action on April 1. There's a ten day gap there in which our mystery man will need to get some work in.no comments
Andy Oliver's struggles yesterday left Drew Smyly as the "numbers" leader for the fifth spot in the starting rotation. But this has lead to concern amongst Tigers fans that awarding Smyly the spot (after only one year in the minor leagues) would cause his development to be stunted. The theory here is that it would be better to allow him to develop in the minor leagues where he can "work on things" than (potentially) get pounded in the big leagues where he might lose confidence in his less refined offerings.
The easy comparison here is Rick Porcello. He was a highly touted prospect that spent just a single season in the minor leagues, but after three big league seasons, has yet to come close to realizing his top-of-the-rotation potential. But once you look past their identical minor league service time, you'll find that there's really very little in common between 2009 Rick Porcello and 2012 Drew Smyly.
First of all, Smyly was a college pitcher, where Porcello made the jump to professional baseball out of high school. So, whereas Porcello was 20 years old when he made his major league debut, Smyly would be 22 (and would turn 23 in June). And Smyly's two years of action at the University of Arkansas also serve as two years of experience versus post high school hitters. That's not the same experience one would gain in some of the upper levels of the minor leagues, but it's probably not all that dissimilar to a Tigers prospect spending a year in Connecticut and a year in West Michigan.no comments

In the News
Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
News Companies Popular Investments Among Congressmen
June 15, 2011 | Many members of Congress have a vested interest -- beyond just their political careers -- in the performance of the same organizations that are supposed to be their watchdogs, a Center for Responsive Politics investigation indicates.
Down But Not Quite Out: An Examination of Insurance Giant AIG's Waning Clout
December 3, 2009 | Insurance giant AIG's political clout is waning as fast as its finances. Since its near-collapse and government bailout last fall, AIG disbanded its lobbying team. It hasn't donated a dollar from its political action committee this year. Furthermore, contributions from individual AIG employees since January are merely a sliver of what they've been in previous cycles -- although a few notable politicians retain financial or political ties to the embattled company. Among these lawmakers is Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, who pledged to return contributions from AIG employees who got post-bailout bonuses but has nonetheless retained tens of thousands of dollars from them given before the bailout.
Congressional Opponents of Consumer Financial Protection Bill Got Big Money from Wall Street Interests
October 26, 2009 | On Thursday, the House Financial Services Committee approved H.R. 3126, which would create a new executive branch agency to oversee consumer financial protections, on a 39-29 vote. CRP has found that $527,500 is the average amount a committee member who voted "no" received from financial groups' PACs and employees between January 2007 and June. The average amount a member who voted "yes" received was $438,900.
Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
House Financial Services Committee Considers Regulating Industries That Heavily Fund Members' Campaigns
October 14, 2009 | The House Financial Services Committee today begins marking up a bill that would create a new consumer protection agency and increase regulation of a number of financial products. Even as members of the committee consider how to prevent another economic collapse, they may have another financial issue in mind -- the industries opposing the measure have contributed $77.6 million to the 71 members of the committee since 1989.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
Congressmen Hear from TARP Recipients Who Funded Their Campaigns
February 10, 2009 | The eight CEOs testifying Wednesday before the House Financial Services Committee about how their companies are using billions of dollars in bailout funds may find that the hot seat is merely lukewarm. Nearly every member of the committee received contributions associated with these financial institutions during the 2008 election cycle, for a total of $1.8 million.
Madoff and Company Spent Nearly $1 Million on Washington Influence
December 15, 2008 | The man behind a $50 billion Ponzi scheme that has roiled Wall Street and shaken up the nonprofit world was also a long-time contributor to Democrats. In total, Bernard Madoff and his wife, Ruth, have given $238,200 to federal candidates, parties and committees since 1991, with Democrats getting 88 percent of that.
Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank Regulation
September 23, 2008 | The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.

WEATHERING HEIGHTS ON THE BLOCK: We've found our dream house and, happily, it's for sale!
Weathering Heights, the 1913 Tudor Manor-style home on Ocean Boulevard, possibly the city's most famous residence, is for sale.
You've seen it, dominating the southwest corner of Ocean and Paloma, and if you're given as we are to flights of fancy steeled by sinister envy, you've thought how badly out of balance this life is that you don't own that house.
And now it is up for grabs. And by "grabs" we mean $2,995,000.
Don't blanch at us. That's nothing for what could be called the jewel of Bluff Park, a neighborhood full of gems.
The 1913 home's pedigree is perfect. Carole Lombard and Clark Gable summered there; W.C. Fields was a renter. Balboa Studios founder Herbert M. Horkheimer built a house down the street. Fatty Arbuckle and Theda Bara were neighbors. There was unquestionably a lot going on in that place in the Roaring Twenties. If Weathering Heights' walls could talk, we couldn't quote them in a family newspaper.
Location? Prime. You can see Catalina and all the ships at sea. Curb appeal? More than the hooker Julia Roberts played in "Pretty Woman." Specs? Seven bedrooms, five and a half baths, four fireplaces, formal living and dining rooms, and a morning room seemingly tacked onto the residence's eastern side that's worth a million all by itself.
Downside? Well, yes. $3 million doesn't buy perfection. Ever since World War II, the place has been a three-unit complex - the current owners use it more as a compound, with an extended family living in it.
In fact, Coldwell Banker Realtor Mark. D. Wilson, who is listing the property - he's sold many of the stately buildings on Bluff Park's Ocean Boulevard and on First Street - says that most of the Ocean homes on Bluff Park were carved up during the war to make room for Navy officers.
"It was all done for the war effort," said Wilson, though he concedes there was good money in it for the homeowners, with the Navy paying the bills in a timely fashion.
"At the time, these big houses were white elephants. They were huge places that weren't really in much demand, and I think a lot of the owners saw a chance to make some money during the war by renting them out."
Generally, nowadays, when the houses are anything but white elephants, wealthier folk are restoring the chopped-up "cottages" to single-family residences.
And, says Wilson, that's what prospective buyers are planning for Weathering Heights.
Now, the house is divided into three apartments and a loft. The main stairway was removed in the war years, so there's that, plus the business of tearing down dividing walls and other deconstruction.
But the house is in great condition, says Wilson. "There have only been three owners. The original owner had access to a lumber company on the East Coast, so the wood is great. Lots of mahogany trim and doors and oak floors."
The second owner, said Wilson, bought the place to tear it down in order to build a high-rise along the lines of the nearby Galaxy Tower.
An Edward Killingsworth-designed residence that was originally a prototype for one of the units that was to be in the Marina Tower, as it was to be called, still stands on the lot west of Weathering Heights.
Coincidentally (we're not allowed to use the term "ironic" until we know what it means), the tower complex was to cost $3 million - for the whole building - in flimsy 1959 dollars.
Neighbors and preservationists quickly put the kibosh on the Marina Tower - and all future plans to build any high rises in Bluff Park.
Do we even need to tell you there's never been a better time to buy (actually, there was, but it was a long time ago)? Wilson reckons that at its market's peak - just a few brisk years ago - Weathering Heights might've gone in the "low" $4 million range, although, he said, "Bluff Park didn't take as big a hit as most parts of town. People have always wanted to live on Ocean and First Street, and they're not building these kind of houses anymore."

Hi there,
I recently installed backtrack4 pre-final on my ubuntu notebook.
After installing I realised that my splash-screen (on ubuntu, not backtrack!) was missing during boot.
When installing bt4 to disk, it will overwrite the grub already installed and leaves out the "splash" option at the end of the ubuntu paragraph in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
So, you only need to add it at the end and remove the "vga 0x3** to have ubuntu booting look nice and winblows-like again..

I tried searching through a ton of threads but I can't seem to find the answer to this: is there a way to get the faded selection bar back in Mediastream? This is what I'm talking about:
See how the selection bar's transparency fades out to the left hand side? I always thought this was a tasteful aspect of MediaStream's design. In comparison this is how the new skin looks (notice the hard edge on the left hand side of the green selection bar, no fade):
Does anybody know if this can be changed?

BRIC investment countries – that's Brazil, Russia, India and China – are some of the hottest emerging markets right now and investors are clamoring for stocks, ADR list standouts and ETF funds in the region. But unlike domestic stocks, BRIC funds and emerging market investments can be difficult to indentify. That's partially because U.S. investors don't experience the brands in their day-to-day lives like they do a McDonald's (MCD) or a Walmart (WMT), but it's also because the best BRIC investments are often ones few traders have heard of yet.
So how do you go about finding the best Brazil stocks or the best China investments? How can you make sure that your retirement money can grow and thrive thanks to the growth in India and Russia? Simple: Do your homework on the BRIC regularly, and simply follow the money. To help you follow the top stocks, InvestorPlace has compiled a comprehensive ADR list.
You see, there are a limited number of BRIC funds, ETF investments and stocks that you can choose from if you want to retain the same protection as domestic stocks. You see, many individual Brazil stocks trade on the BM&F BOVESPA, or the Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias & Futuros de Sao Paulo. This is Brazil's stock exchange, and though it ranks the fourth largest exchange in the the Americas in terms of market capitalization (behind the NYSE, Nasdaq and Toronto), the bottom line is that Brazil's stock exchange does not follow the same strict requirements and SEC oversight that U.S. stock exchanges require.
That means if you invest in Brazil, you are taking on bigger risk by investing through the Brazil stock exchange.
If you want to limit your risk, however, you can invest in Brazil stocks that are traded on the U.S. stock exchange in the form of ADR contracts– or American depositary receipts. These are traded just like shares of stock, with an American bank acting as a go between and the SEC offering the same protections and oversight. It's the best of both worlds with BRIC ADR contracts that allow you to invest in the hottest emerging markets while still shrouding your investment portfolio in the safety of American securities law! This ADR list of the best emerging market stocks is invaluable to investors.
So where do you find some of these hot BRIC ADR companies? Here's an ADR list of some of the most widely held investments in Brazil, Russia, India and China:
Brazil ADR List
Here are some of the most widely-held ADR companies that are located in Brazil but traded on American exchanges like the NYSE and NASDAQ.

The Rapture Returns (in Fall Trends)
"If a guy wore that blazer, I'd wonder why. Because jeans with a t-shirt is the perfect look. In fact, you probably don't even need to roll the jeans. If you want a blazer, just take one from your closet."

USC Concert Choir to perform 'St. Matthew Passion'
The University of South Carolina's Concert Choir and Chamber Orchestra will perform William Averitt's "St. Matthew Passion" at 4p.m., Sunday, March 7 in Averyt Hall of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral.
The performance will be a sneak peak of sorts for the choir, which will later perform the dramatic and emotional piece at the Southern Division Convention of the American Choral Directors' Association in Memphis. The latter performance, one of the convention's headline shows, will take place March 10 – 14.
Admission for the Columbia concert is $10, and the proceeds will be used to support the travel of the 90 performers for the Memphis performance.
Also performing will be 2001 USC graduate Scott Guinn, a baritone, and assistant professor of voice Tina Stallard, a soprano. Larry Wyatt, director of choral studies, organized the original commission and will conduct the performances.

PCOS concerned
Hello everyone,
I am Erika and I am 24 and was diagnosed with PCOS as a teenager. We are looking to start our family and having been trying for what seems like forever. I have been reading through and have posted several questions in different areas. We are coming up on a year and i have decided it's time to scout and find information and decide how to proceed with building our family. Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated as we take this journey.
5th November 2013 07:09 AM #2
Hi Erika,
Welcome to the forum. It is lovely to have you join us on here.
I'm sorry to hear you were diagnosed with PCOS and have been unable to conceive in 12 months of trying. The good news is that you are young and most women who have PCOS are able to successfully conceive with extra medical help. Please do take hope in that.
I can recommend the organisation POSAA for a wealth of information and support for couples affected by PCOS.
I hope you don't mind me asking if you are overweight? Maintaining a healthy weight when you have PCOS really helps with fertility levels. I know this is difficult, but if you try to fill up on plenty of white meat, fish and pulses then this should help. Exercising regularly will also help; do you have a weekly exercise plan?
Were you on the pill before you started trying to conceive? Some couples with PCOS actually find it easier to conceive when they have been on the pill for the four months before trying to conceive. It is then easiest for them to conceive in the first cycle after coming off the pill.
Another factor it is important to be sure of is your partner's fertility levels. A sperm analysis test is simple and I would certainly go ahead with this at this stage in trying to conceive.
Have you seen your doctor since trying to conceive? I would certainly recommend this? Has your doctor talked about the option of a laparoscopy?
Thinking of you,

Thank you LJ! It's great to know there's support for me.
I don't mind the questions, i am not shy. Currently i am over weight all though i must say it's a weird situation i feel.
I am exactly 200lbs and i am 5ft 3in. The kicker is i play in an indoor soccer at least 3 nights a week in co ed competitive leagues. I can run about 3 miles without stopping and am pretty muscular. I do have the stomach and actually have gained that within the past year or so, i was at 170lbs about a year and half ago. I don't look heavy but lately i've been starting to feel that way.
When i was trying to lose weight i wasn't actually losing the numbers as much as i was gaining muscle percentage. As far as my eating habits i do eat a decent amount of meat, un-friend, but not a lot of fish.. i am not sure what pulses are, will have to look that up. I try to keep soccer as my main exercise but i have thought about implementing routines now as well. What healthy meals and routines do you recommend?
I was not on the pill before i wasn't having and periods so it wasn't a real concern of mine. I did have to take progestrone to start my period again last August. We haven't checked his fertility levels yet, I just assumed there was something wrong with me.
I haven't been back yet just spoke on the phone, the next step she was suggesting was some forms of medicine.
Thank you for all the help and support, it means a lot.
6th November 2013 07:02 AM #4
Dear Erika,
I would advise going back to your doctor at this stage. I've put a few comments on the medication options usually suggested for PCOS in your other post here. I would still get your partner's sperm tested; it can't do any harm and it would be useful to rule any male fertility problems out.
By pulses I mean foods such as lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans etc; all high in protein and low in fat. Your exercise regime sounds excellent. I would not be concerned about gaining weight in terms of muscle; that should not affect your fertility levels.
Have you read this article on preconception care? This contains some more tips on how eating well and being healthy can improve your fertility levels. For example, you should keep well hydrated, avoid caffeine and keep stress to a minimum.
How often do you and your partner have sex? Have you used an ovulation tracking kit at all?
Warm wishes,

1080p? If I want a low res screen I will look at my 1050p 15" MacBook Pro, a 42" screen should be at least 4k.
I personally REALLY doubt we will see a 4k Apple TV any time soon.
The supposed price is beyond a joke. What would it break down as, $500 for probably a Samsung produced display and $1000 for a Logo?
I got a Samsung UN55D80000Y. It's 55" / LED / 1080p / 240Hz / 3D and it has built-in WIFI and Smart TV for $1,900. I also have a Apple T.V. so unless apple can top all that and the AMAZING QUALITY OF PICTURE then no wouldn't waste my money on a 42" with the $100 Apple T.V. built and a camera. If it meant that much to talk thru my T.V. I would just buy the Skype adapter for mine or simply enough use my PS3 Move camera and call thru my PS3 to friends and family. Another thought could just face-time thru My 27" iMac, or iPad 2 or even my iPhone 4S.
Simply put at $1,499 for only 42" I wouldn't buy just cause its a AppleTV and I own everything apple.
Best buy = best laugh I've had in a while,they have to be seriously deluded to think a 42" 1080p tv would sell for $1499 even if it was an apple tv,either this is a early april fool or someone at best buy needs to be fired for being an idiot in charge.
If they came out with a TV I guarantee you they'll make the biggest size under 50'' and overcharge. Why anyone would want to pay for content when there are so many free options is beyond me. Imagine plugging in a USB hard drive (loaded with content) to the TV and having it restricted.
Of course idiots will spend $1500 on a LED TV, nearly double the cost of a common brand LED TV
lol. Where are you even getting 4k content from? The future? Standard HD is barely getting off the ground and now you want a 4K screen? Patience. At any rate the revolutionary aspect of this hypothetical TV wont be the screen, but the way in which Apple uses it to reinvent the television market in it's entirety. I hardly care about quality myself. What I'm interested in is content - the ability to instantly watch any movie or TV show I want for a reasonable fee. Down with Cable TV. If Apple can do for television what they did for music we will all be much better off.
How can you be surprised at the $1,499 price point when it's clearly mentioned at the top of the survey BEFORE the features are even listed?
Either way, as much as I like Apple, I'm still waiting for prices on iPad 1's to come into the mid 200s before I'll buy one. No AppleTV currently in my house, and my trusty 13" black Macbook and iPhone 4 still slugging it out just fine.
I like Apple as much as the next guy but I'm not brainwashed. Apple is becoming too much about status and less about capturing market share through innovation and quality. It is only a matter of time before the quality is significantly diminishes and we're left wondering what happened.
ARE THEY SERIOUS? At that price you can get 3 TVs that do the same thing.
I but they are serious as its Apple and EVERYTHING Apple is way overpriced because the Apple fanboys have more money than sense and they will pay that stupid high price.
If it was the same price as a similar TV + Apple TV (So $100 over the normal price) Then I would think about it. but not at that ridiculous price.
EDIT: Someone delete this for me?
Do you know whats dumber than any Apple fan boy could ever be?
Arguing and getting all butt hurt about a stupid pointless rumor, then going forward and talking about how every Apple fan boy is going to buy it and its a piece of junk no better then your current TV is the most retarded thing Ive ever heard. While youre at it why dont you start arguing over who has the better flying car in year 2200 Honda or Ford. Thats pretty much how this argument looks.
And also, guy with the Dell XPS. In two years your XPS will be on my store shelf for $250, my 15" Macbook pro will be on a store shelf for at least $1200. Doesnt sound like you made the better investment in my opinion.

Atheism, Catholicism, and Suffering: A Critical Response to Bad Catholic
"And, frankly, I find the proposed consolations of Christianity insulting in the face of suffering. Few ceremonies have disgusted me as much as the Catholic funerals, wakes, and memorials I have attended as an atheist. The focus was persistently taken off of the person who should be commemorated and celebrated and mourned, and instead placed on a patently mythical godman and his "miraculous powers to conquer death". I can think of few worse ways to show contempt for the ostensive subject of a sacred ceremony, in this case death itself, than to deny its very existence.
Right there, in communal ceremonies which should be occasions for solemnly and bravely confronting the terrible reality of death as it is made most personally unavoidable in the loss of a loved one… Right there in the presence of a casket containing a cadaver of someone whose life intertwined, in many cases quite impactfully, with our own… Right there to listen to a priest tell childish fairy tales about how the dead are not really dead is a profound insult to the profound losses suffered by both the deceased and the bereaved.
What should be a moment for taking the seriousness of death as respectfully as possible… What should be a moment for focusing on the beloved life now come to completion and for dwelling on the tangible legacy of ongoing good effects through which alone the lost will continue on, is all systematically undermined by the promulgation of reality-denying fantasies, the distracting greater emphasis on the broader Christian religion than the topic of death or the particular deceased person, the opportunistic exploitative advertising pitches meant to manipulate the excruciating grief of all those present to a create attachment to the Catholic faith, and (at least on some occasions) explicit, manipulative insults to unbelievers that we are supposedly hopeless and that we must only despair when faced with the reality of death.
Few people have treated me with such callous indifference and contempt as the priests who have taken the memorials for my own family members as opportunities to cavalierly slam and strawman atheism. Whether this was done from the erasing assumption that there were no atheists present or from the contempt that were we present that we deserved no respect—even as mourners–in either case it was all too typical of a religion that knows much more about its own self-promotion than either the truth or genuine compassion for suffering."

Please join us as we discuss one of the most important 9/11 Commission recommendations that has not yet been implemented: preventing nuclear terrorism.
In December 2005, the 9/11 Commissioners gave the government a "D" in its effort to keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of terrorists. Osama bin Laden has pledged to kill 4 million Americans with a nuclear bomb (and received a religious "fatwah" to do so); just like he pledged to take down the Twin Towers in the 1990's.
The good news is we can stop him. There are limited nuclear weapon materials, and they can be locked down. But in order to do that, we have to speak out, to ensure that our leaders take the appropriate actions.
Together, we can turn that "D" into an "A".
Next Wednesday, November 8th, we will have a frank conversation on this topic at Harvard University. You are invited.
Professors Graham Allison and Stephen Rosen will be discussing issues raised in the acclaimed docudrama "Last Best Chance". The event is open to all students and concerned community members, and will take place from 6-7:30pm in Harvard Hall 201.
Please come if you can. We will talk about the dangers, but, more importantly, we will talk about what you can do to make a difference.To learn more, please visit www.saferworld.org or www.lastbestchance.org.
This can be a scary subject, one that can leave you feeling hopeless. We aim to change that, to make nuclear terrorism an issue that is less frightening than empowering. With knowledge, there is power. Each of us can make a difference. I look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,Carie LemackDaughter, Judy LarocqueCo-founder, Families of September 11

piers morgan claims to be a die hard arsenal fan (and manages to get his opinion about the team quoted regularly) yet ran a slur campgain 'name and shaming' dozens of proper arsenal fans after the issues in copenhagen with the turks. he didnt care about the truth, or what really happened, just plastered their faces across newspapers labelling them as scum. causing some people i hold as dear friends to not only be banned from life from football, but lose their jobs, families and face jail time, all due to the lies morgan spread.
he gets sacked for being a cretinous media scumbag, then finds himself a worldwide celebrity due to sliming his way through america.
grade A cunt. the first paragraph of that link sums him up, boasting his connections of A-list celebs and getting others kicked out. he's a smug cunt of the highest order.
the clarkson morgan battle started years ago when morgan published a story about clarkson (falsely) cheating on his wife, clarkson punched him at an awards ceremony, and quite rightly.
they're not even in the same league of cuntishness. morgan has destroyed lives, and sits smugly atop his ivory tower.
one person I'd honestly have absolutely no issue stamping on his head until its a caved in mess

This seems to be a perfect way to target IE8. Anything I'm overlooking here?
float:left; /* Target IE8 */margin-right:-14px; /* Target IE8 */}
position:absolute; /* Cancel target IE8 */z-index:1;color:green;font-weight:bold;margin:0; /* Cancel target IE8 */}
Ie8 doesn't understand the nth-child so you can give rules to other browsers to counteract the ie8 rules set by other means. However, you realise that li + li + li a will select the third list plus any list elements that follow and not just the third like nth-child.
No I actually did not realize that. But there are only 3 list items anyway so it works in this case. I messed with > and ~ (admittedly not my best known rules) but couldn't seem to target it.
I didn't double check to see if that works, but wouldn't IE conditional comment classes be cleaner?
Yes I usually advocate CCs for IE8 but I happen to know that Eric doesn't like them so I sidestepped the issue.:)
There is an issue with specificity in using the boiler plate method as you are adding a class to the rule unlike plain old fashioned hacks or separate CCs. In the end it does boil down to preference and as long as you are consistent it doesn't make a lot of difference.
This is true. I haven't used CC's for the last 5 years. Why? They make my code look ugly
Forgive my ignorance. I've always just used classes and such to target lesser versions of IE. Now that IE8 is as low as I go I have a few more options. Having a little trouble fully understanding this...
So if I wanted to get this list item color back to green (and target ie8) then I'd have to overwrite the 2nd list item? Then they would all be green from there on out. Anyway to target ie8 without classes? Or any browser for that matter without using li:nth-child(2)?
I'm baffled that you consider your proposed hacks to be less ugly, but... OK.
There are plenty of people that don't use CC's. If I'm resourceful enough to get by without them then more power to me. Plus I don't like to maintain two stylesheets.
Yes that's correct you need the extra rule to reset anything that follows.
Anyway to target ie8 without classes? Or any browser for that matter without using li:nth-child(2)?
You can use :last-child on the body to give rules to other browsers:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>

test

The article I linked to earlier has the full details, but the gist is...

A conditional comment to set a class on the  element, so that anywhere in your CSS, you can write .ie8 selector {}.
Ahh yes thank you. Yeah I know that stuff. I wrote 5 other ways to do it to http://www.visibilityinherit.com/code/target-ie.php
But you still consider the CSS from your original post to be cleaner?

Proenza Schouler Fall 2014
Well, that was exactly what this week needed, that being the Proenza Schouler fall 2014 show, which was a fast and furious (not to mention fantastic) burst of energy, and provided a flip side to what's gone before in the past few days of the New York collections. These guys, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, don't see what they do in terms of politely tailored masculine coats, or big sweaters with filmy skirts, or inoffensive and very nice flats; it's all pump up the volume, and push it to the limits, and play with perceptions of taste (tweed worked to look like industrial felting, anyone?) that make it, well, you know, fashion.
How else is one to explain where they went, mixing as they did the likes of sculpted jackets and coats with a kind of superheroine vibe—all rounded, structured shoulders, full sleeves, and hourglass waists falling into exaggerated peplums (do we detect the hint of a Mugler revival here?); skinny, abstracted tiger-striped pants or tapered trousers in a toughened-up techno reimagining of watermarked taffeta; short dresses constructed with real dimensionality, offsetting curving panels with straight lines; and, yes, flats, but weighty, graphic, banded with leather, and worn with every single look so that they added an urgency to the general proceedings.
What impressed here was the single-minded pursuit of an idea, one that actually feels like a breath of fresh air; an exploration of the artificial, the industrial, the synthetic—buzzwords that have been studiously avoided because they're a little more challenging to work with. But work with them Proenza Schouler did, beautifully rendering them in exquisite modern fabrics that had a sumptousness, and an unabashed embrace of color—cobalt, orange, jade—mixed with black and white. All of this, of course, takes confidence and a point of view, and in the case of McCollough and Hernandez, the former is well-placed, and the latter is totally compelling and thrilling.

Panthers 21, Redskins 13: Cam Newton passed for one touchdown and ran for another and Carolina's defense held Washington rookie Robert Griffin III in check as the visiting Panthers snapped a five-game losing streak.
DeAngelo Williams, who was rumored to be on the trading block leading up to Thursday's deadline, broke a 30-yard touchdown run to give Carolina (2-6) a 7-3 lead in the first quarter, and the Panthers didn't trail again.
The Redskins (3-6) had a chance to close the gap or take the lead before halftime, but they passed up a short field goal and were stopped on fourth down. Carolina answered with a 98-yard touchdown drive - tied for the second-longest in team history - for a 14-3 halftime lead.
Newton capped the long drive with a 19-yard touchdown strike to Steve Smith, and the second-year quarterback added a 1-yard touchdown run with 12:46 left to make it 21-6. Newton finished 13-of-23 for 201 yards and added 37 rushing yards on eight carries.
Washington's defense turned in its best performance of the season, allowing a season-low 330 total yards, but the offense was held to its third-lowest yardage total of the season (337) and did not find the end zone until Evan Royster's first career touchdown run from 2 yards with 1:34 left.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Washington RB Alfred Morris rushed for 76 yards on 13 carries. He leads all rookies with 793 rushing yards. … Griffin (529) and Morris became the first rookie quarterback-running back tandem to go over 500 rushing yards each in NFL history. … The Panthers improved to 8-9 under coach Ron Rivera when leading or tied in the fourth quarter.

Baby Wearing could help to reduce postpartum depression
As many of you know, I am a keen baby wearer. I seem to be constantly discovering more and more benefits of baby wearing as time goes on. Today, I came across this leaflet which describes how baby wearing can help mum's suffering from postpartum depression or those who are at risk from depression.
I suffered from post traumatic stress disorder after a number of unplanned stresses which I experienced during and after having my little boy. I wore him in a soft structured sling from day one and now I am wondering if the amazing bond that has grown between us has been helped by baby wearing.
The leaflet above (by Babywearing International Inc) sites research which looked at the affect of face touching on a baby's reaction for baby's with and without depressed mothers. I would agree that baby wearing gives me more time to interact and touch my baby's face and this helps us to communicate with each other. Babywearing International also put the reduced depression in baby wearing mums down to the fact that a baby crys less when it is worn close to the mum.
What do you think about this leaflet and the research is uses? It would be great to hear from any other baby wearing mums out there who have struggled with postpartum depression or postraumatic stress disorder.

Great post! I didn't suffer from postpartum depression but the affects of babywearing can be positive in many ways, and I'm sure this would be one of them. This is something I would definitely encourage moms to do, especially if they are dealing with postpartum depression.
I have a friend who just ordered her favorite baby carrier and she is so excited. She purchased a "pack" type carrier but really wants a "wrap" type carrier too.

This is very interesting, thank you sharing this information. I have always known that baby wearing is an excellent way to promote bonding between mother and child, and it also helps the baby cry less. It is fascinating to learn that baby wearing can help reduce the risk for postpartum depression.

Baby wearing is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby in a sling or in another form of carrier. Baby wearing has been practiced for centuries around the world. And it is now becoming popular for mothers to use baby wearing to make herself relax, comfortable and busy with work too.

text: In previous statements, Julia Roberts said that her half-sister Nancy Motes died from an accidental drug overdose. According to the LA County Coroner's office though, Motes actually committed suicide by ingesting multiple drugs. I have two opinions why Julia would release the statement she did. One is that she wanted to protect her mother. Maybe she thought her mother could handle knowing that her daughter died accidentally much better than knowing her daughter committed suicide. Another more salacious reason is that Julia might have been protecting herself. The suicide note basically accused Julia of causing the suicide and Julia might be trying to deflect some of the blame directed towards her. Julia always looks out for herself and her best interests. I'm hoping she released the statement for the first reason, and not the latter. Nancy died after taking the drugs and lowering herself into a bathtub.

How to Watch the Perseid Meteor Shower
Every August for about the last 2,000 years, the meteor shower Perseids has passed through the sky. The spectacle is linked to the comet Swift-Tuttle, which orbits the sun once every 133 years. Here's how it works: as Earth passes through the comet's debris, the pieces burn in our planet's atmosphere to create a meteor shower. This year, the Perseid meteor shower will peak tonight and tomorrow (Aug. 12 to 13) — with Perseid rates that can get as high as 70 per hour. Google even honored the shower with an interactive Google Doodle on its homepage!
Hoping to learn more about the Perseid meteor shower? Visit the NASA website for a live "Up All Night" chat with astronomer Bill Cooke and his team. The experts will be available to answer questions about the meteor shower at 11 p.m. EDT.
In the meantime, get more background on the Perseids from NASA's Science Cast below.

Just recently I was talking with one of my church members and she said, "I know I am so blessed. I know I am."
What she was talking about was the fact that she had raised four healthy children, who are each a credit to the world. She was surrounded by most of them at a family function and the sheer size and number of the group was humbling.

Successful Assessment
Making It Work in Your School
Effectively integrating a variety of kinds of assessment into everyday classroom activities "can in fact produce profound changes in the role of students as learners and in the role of teachers in developing students' capacity to learn" (Black et al., 2003, p. 102-3).
Paul Black and his colleagues worked with teachers in two English secondary schools for two years on including formative assessment in their teaching in a program called King's-Medway-Oxfordshire Formative Assessment Project or KMOFAP. At the end of the project, the researchers asked themselves "whether it is possible to introduce formative assessment without some radical change in classroom pedagogy because, of its nature, this type of assessment is an essential component of classroom learning" (p. 7).
These researchers found that a natural consequence of the continuous use of formative assessment is a move toward a classroom where students not only receive regular, useful information about how their learning is progressing, they are also actively involved in activities that help them transform knowledge and skills into personally meaningful learning. Formative assessment is just one component of a student-centered classroom culture. Student-centered social studies and math classrooms use authentic activities, along with a variety of kinds of assessment to engage learners.
Teachers who were educated as students and who learned to teach in an environment where assessment consisted of final exams and papers are not likely to have the skills and information they need to use formative assessment effectively. Professional development on key topics is crucial if they are to be successful.
Teachers do not teach in a vacuum. They are surrounded by building facilities, administrators, community cultures, supplies, and fellow teachers. The effective use of formative assessment and the building of student-centered classroom cultures require strong support and leadership at every level.

2016 Audi A6
Discount Audi Prices
Low A6 Lease Payments
All Color Options Available Nationwide Delivery
2016 Audi A6 Review
The 2016 Audi A6 takes the brand's refine, improve, iterate theory and applies it yet again. resulting in a car that's simply better in most of the ways that matter—and the Audi A6 was already a very good car.
Small visual updates give cues to the mechanical and technological updates found elsewhere. And the front and rear ends, slight changes in the shape of the Singleframe grille and details of the bumpers and trim mark the A6 and S6 as well as S line vehicles; a new LED headlight design is also visible at the nose. At the rear, new trapezoidal tailpipes are found on A6 models. New interior colors like Flint gray and Cedar brown are available, while the S6 gets optional Arras red leather and carbon fiber inserts with red thread accents. Inside the 2016 Audi A6's cabin, you'll find essentially the same amount of space and comfort found in previous models is present, meaning there's ample room in the front seats for a range of heights and body types, while the rear seat is perhaps a bit more snug than in some of the competition, owing to its swept-back, almost coupe-like roof line. With 14.1 cubic feet of trunk space, there's enough—if not ample—cargo space, too. Options and equipment even at the base level remain impressive in the 2016 Audi A6, though as with any luxury brand, it's toward the top of the spectrum that you'll find the most compelling configurations. Of course, you'll also pay for high-tech extras like Google Earth maps and mobile 4G LTE with WiFi hotspot access. Under the hood, the 2016 Audi A6 sees several important updates, with 2.0T, 3.0T, and TDI variants offered in addition to the high-performance S6. The 2.0T model now gets a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder rated at 252 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Front-drive is standard in the 2.0T, with a new seven-speed dual-clutch S tronic transmission; quattro all-wheel-drive is optional, paired with the familiar eight-speed Tiptronic transmission. Upgrading to the more potent 3.0T model brings a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 engine rated at 333 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and increase of 23 hp from the previous version. A Tiptronic transmission and quattro all-wheel-drive are standard on the 3.0T. The A6 TDI gets a 3.0-liter, 240-hp, 428-lb-ft diesel engine with quattro all-wheel-drive and an eight-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, unchanged from last year's version. The high-performance Audi S6 also gets upgraded, with a 30-hp rise to 450 hp output. Quattro all-wheel-drive and an S tronic transmission are also standard on S6 models. Driving the new A6 in early European specification, the improved power in the base model and 3.0T is immediately apparent. Passing power, even in the front-drive 2.0T version, is ample for all but the most aggressive drivers and situations. The new dual-clutch transmission is likewise quick to respond and smooth in its shift behavior. Though the new S tronic dual-clutch isn't markedly improved over the Tiptronic automatic it replaces in the base model, it's expected to be somewhat more efficient. The EPA hasn't yet released gas mileage figures for the 2016 Audi A6 line. Look for more driving impressions and U.S.-market details closer to its local launch in the spring of 2015. A new set of technologies further improve the experience behind the wheel and in the cabin of the 2016 Audi A6, including new driver assistance feature and an upgraded MMI infotainment system. The new driver assistance features include revised Side Assist and Active Lane Assist to help avoid collisions when a vehicle is in the driver's blind spot by providing steering input. Secondary Collision Assist can apply the brakes on its own to avoid secondary collisions (collisions after an initial accident). A night vision system now recognizes more types of animals; and an available Head-Up Display (HUD) has been redesigned for better integration into the dash. The improvements to the MMI infotainment system include a new Nvidia quad-core Tegra 30 processor, capable of much faster information and graphics processing. Other features include Audi music interface, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple Siri Eyes Free integration, Facebook and Twitter alerts, and more.
Neither the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have yet crash-tested the 2016 Audi A6. Nevertheless, it remains structurally identical to the preceding model year A6, and should therefore score similarly top-notch results; the pre-facelift Audi A6 scored five stars in NHTSA testing and top marks of "good" in all categories tested.
