Bill Gates Says "No" to Second Coming, Ballmer Discusses "New Era" for Microsoft

Meanwhile Ballmer looks to pump shareholders up with a letter emphasizing Microsoft's success
When a more mature Steve Jobs came back to Apple, Inc. (
), he
revitalized the company he co-founded
as a rebellious youth. Millions of iPods, iPhones, and iPhones later, Apple is the
world's most valuable company
in terms of market cap. Meanwhile, Apple's perennial rival Microsoft Corp. (
) is struggle not for want of user, but for a
faltering brand image
. Some say that Bill Gates -- the man who founded Microsoft and drove it to its initial success -- should return.
I. Bill Gates: No Comeback for me
But at his keynote at the
Abu Dhabi Media Summit 2012
-- a leadership conference -- Bill Gates all but ruled out a return, saying his focus was on
his philanthropic work
, and it would remain that way. He
Steve Jobs did a phenomenal piece of work. Apple, most people would have expected, were on their way going out of business. He had run Apple since it was a tiny company and then he came back in and made incredibly valuable. It's a phenomenal business story and I thought Walter Isaacson did a good job catching that in the book. Steve and I were friends, competitors – we were a lot of different things. It was amazing what he did.
I'm now committed full time to my foundation work and I give about 15% of my time as Chairman of Microsoft. Microsoft is moving ahead with Windows 8 that combines the best of tablet with PC. This month the very first hardware based on that idea including Microsoft's own Surface will ship. So there's a lot of exciting stuff ahead in software and I didn't retire from Microsoft because I thought things were getting boring. In fact a lot of best ideas- the vision of artificial intelligence and robots are still ahead but i did decide the philanthropic world was where my contribution would be more unique and so thats what I'll work on full time for the rest of my life.

Some people will be disappointed that Mr. Gates is resisting a comeback.
II. Steve Ballmer: Microsoft is Strong
But Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is convinced no comeback is necessary. He insists that the image that Microsoft lacks creativity is badly out of date. In
a letter to shareholders
, he brags that 1.3 billion people worldwide use Windows and that there are 8 million active Windows app developers.
The boisterous chief executive is bullish on
Windows 8 tablets
Windows Phone 8
, bringing a unified Windows experience across mobile and traditional computing devices.
Microsoft has
, particularly when it
comes to Windows 8
. But as Mr. Ballmer puts it:
For fiscal year 2012, revenue grew to a record $73.7 billion. We also maintained strong cost discipline resulting in cash flow from operations of $31.6 billion, an increase of 17 percent from the prior year. In addition, we returned $10.7 billion to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends.
In other words financially Microsoft shows little sign of being a "dying" brand as some opinion pieces have claims.
Windows 8 is a huge risk. But Steve Ballmer is convinced it will pay off, even as Bill Gates watches -- permanently -- from the sidelines.
"Well, there may be a reason why they call them 'Mac' trucks! Windows machines will not be trucks." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

I've Always Wanted To Know:
Why Are There Different Programming Languages?
To create a program for a computer, an app for a phone or even a website, you need to know one of a large variety of programming languages. Programming languages tell the computers what to do and allow you to interact with the computer to perform functions such as making a document, controlling game charactersand photo editing. Like spoken language, each has its own rules and common areas of use. Why are there so many? Why is a webpage written in a different language than a Windows program or a game?
The primary reason for many different programming languages, is that there are many different types of programs and computers. Some programming languages are designed to be used by many different computer configurations and operating systems . Some languages just control elements inside of a program, (these are usually referred to as scripting languages) while others define and create the entire program themselves (these are referred to as system programming languages).
HTML, the language used to write webpages, is an example of a scripting language. Since HTML runs inside of a program, (a web browser) it needs to only define how to control aspects of the browser such as its ability to display text and images or get input from users. If a web browser complies with the HTML standard, it will be able to understand the code and display the page correctly.
In comparison, a programming language like C++, a system programming language, is used when a programmer needs maximum flexibility to design the program the way they choose. The downside of programming languages like C++, is that everything from the basic interface to the mathematical equations that run the program, must be defined and included by the programmer.
Want to see an example of the differences the programing language can make when writing a simple application? All the code below would produce the same thing; the text "Hello World".
There are over 20 programming languages currently used today. What are some of the most popular?
Windows Applications: C#, Visual C++, Visual Basic.Net, DirectX API's, HTML 5, Java
Mac OS Applications: Objective C, X Code with Cocoa Framework, Java
iPhone Apps: Objective C with Cocoa Framework
Android Apps: Java and some C#
Web Pages: HTML, CSS, Flash, JavaScript, Java, PHP, Perl, ASP.net
TV's & Electronics: Assembly and C#
Do you have a general technology or electronics question you always wanted to know like "How does a Microwave work?" or "Why do LED's last so long?" Write me at email@example.com [1] and your question may be answered in an upcoming "I Always Wanted To Know." For specific computer support questions ask our writers by clicking here [2].

I am sure this falls into the category of TMI, or at least Too Much Information about things no one cares about besides Will and me. Never mind. You may recall that I expressed some skepticism about Will's approach to the Evil Weevils in our backyard. Well. Will spent the majority of the weekend perched in the tree, just as you see here, cutting unripe cherries out. All of them. I shit you not.
(If I ever, in this space, wonder where my child gets his incredible propensity for perseveration, you can link me back to this post.)
Every weevil that came off that tree got a bath in denatured alcohol. If I am wrong and these creatures aren't actually a mistake of nature or god (take your pick), we have a serious karmic debt to our names after this weekend. And you know what? I don't feel bad about it for a moment.

Anyways, I remember back last year during the season there was a thread that listed the members on the forum and their respective Twitter handles. I was hoping that we could start one up again, as over the past year I have found myself to become more and more fond of Twitter and it's capabilities. I figure we can use this thread to post our Twitter handle and follow new people who love the Cowboys and get a few new followers in the process. Mine is RichieZ23

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Respectfully to cinyinco's post, I don't think we should be questioninng parents who bring kids to a midnight showing.
They really shouldn't expect to get shot for having done so. That sort of question goes to the why was that girl wearing provacative clothing at 3 in the morning sort of thing, and that really isn't where we should head. I don't like assuming everyone deserves the worst possble outcome to happen to them because of something they did that was pretty innocent.
Furthermore, it's summer, school's out, so who really cares where the kids are? If it's an infant, they sleep anyway, what's the difference if it's in a theater or at home?
This is one person's fault. He planned it, he executed it. If he was so mentally unstable that he was going to go kill someone, he needs to say something to someone. If he doesn't, then he really doesn't have anyone else to blame but himself. This demonizing of his parents is shameful. The questioning of the parents who brought infants and kids to midnight movie misses the point.
We can argue all day long about gun rights but really at the end of the day, nothing can stop someone fronm doing this sort of thing if they really, really, really want to do it.
Gravity and physics couldn't care less about intent.

As well- if we just kept a flag lowererd everyday, it loses its meaning.
I like the idea of doing it only on occasions when we are mourning as a nation.
Why is he mad at them for bringing babies and children to a movie if he isn't sort of saying, well, the kids shouldn't have been there in the first place....he's mad at the victims....I disagree with that. Wholeheartedly.don't know, the first day this happened, I was just shocked. Now I'm kinda angry. At the guy who did this. At some of the people who were there with children. Why on earth would you bring a BABY to a movie, let alone Batman, let alone a MIDNIGHT SCREENING of Batman. You should have been at home, with your kid!~ Or find a babysitter. Just so many different things wrong with this whole things on so many different levels. I just don't know where to start.
This is specious reasoning. With all due respect, people should be able to parent how they wish without worrying about being shot to death. If we're going to say people should have been at home, let's start with the shooter.

I have a 5 year old and an infant and cannot envision a scenario where I would drag them to a movie theatre at midnight. It has absolutely nothing to do with fear of being shot.
The widow is gathering nettles for her children's dinner; a perfumed seigneur, delicately lounging in the Oeil de Boeuf, hath an alchemy whereby he will extract the third nettle and call it rent. ~ Carlyle
If you're thinking about "Why were there kids in the first place," you're on the wrong path.
"I'm kinda angry. At the killer. At some of the people who were there with children."
He is inferring the children shouldn't have been there- he isn't railing about bad parenting in a thread about a mass murder.

It's bad taste, either way. You don't start a paragraph off with "I'm angry at a mass murderer, and oh by the way, these parents are awful for bringing their kids to a movie theater at midnight." That's kicking someone when they're down to say the least.
Maybe we could take this opportunity to tell them they could have seen the movie $5 cheaper at a matinee? Or maybe yell at the theater for $10 Raisinets?
Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.

Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Paul Stastny scored once and added an assist, while Semyon Varlamov posted 36 saves, as the Colorado Avalanche buried the Chicago Blackhawks, 5-1, on Tuesday at Pepsi Center.
John Mitchell, PA Parenteau, Cody McLeod and Gabriel Landeskog each lit the lamp once to help the Avalanche snap a season-high three-game skid.
"We did not like that feeling," Parenteau said of losing three in a row. "We don't want to be losing again. We were motivated and we responded."
Corey Crawford gave up three goals on seven shots in the first period before being removed in favor of rookie Antti Raanta, who saved 14 shots in relief in his NHL debut.
Brandon Saad scored the lone goal of the game for the Blackhawks, who have lost two of their last three games.
Colorado chased Crawford from the contest early, with Stastny, Landeskog and Mitchell each scoring within the first 14 minutes of the game to give the Avalanche a comfortable 3-0 edge.
Stastny scored just over 6 1/2 minutes in when a strange carom off the end boards in the Chicago zone deflected into the slot, where Stastny rifled a wrister into the back of the net for 1-0 lead.
Landeskog and Mitchell scored 56 seconds apart later in the frame to make it 3-0, as Landeskog scored on a tip-in at 12:21 before Mitchell one-timed the disc home from in front at 13:17.
Raanta took over for Crawford following Mitchell's goal and held Colorado off the board until late in the second when Parenteau charged down the left side and rifled a wrister from the left circle to make it 4-0 at 18:38.
McLeod added his first of the season 1:44 into the third for a 5-0 lead before Saad scored at 12:10 to account for the final margin.
"I thought we gave a good push back in the second but we just couldn't finish up," Chicago defenseman Brent Seabrook said. "We have to get off to better starts. We have to nip this in the butt."
Game Notes
Colorado's Tyson Barrie and Maxime Talbot each posted two assists ... Chicago's Patrick Kane recorded an assist to extend his point streak to seven games ... Colorado improved to 9-3-0 at home this season ... Both teams finished 1-for-2 on the power play.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - The No. 6 Notre Dame men's lacrosse team registered a 9-1 BIG EAST victory over Providence on Saturday afternoon at a sunny Arlotta Stadium. The win was the seventh in a row for the Fighting Irish.
Sophomore attackman Westy Hopkins spearheaded the Irish offense with a career-high four points on three goals and one assist. Freshman attackman Conor Doyle chipped in two goals for Notre Dame, while sophomore midfielder Jim Marlatt had one goal and two assists. Junior goalie John Kemp made seven saves in 52:44 of action for the Irish. The one goal allowed is the fewest for Notre Dame since a 14-1 win over Lake Forest in 1989.
Notre Dame (8-1, 3-0) took a 1-0 lead on a man-up goal by Marlatt just over five minutes into the game. The Irish went up by two on Hopkins' first goal of the game, which was assisted by Sean Rogers, at the 8:47 mark of the first quarter. Rogers, a senior attackman, had two assists on the day. Notre Dame led 2-0 after the first quarter.
The Fighting Irish increased their lead to three with 12:51 remaining in the opening half on an unassisted goal from Hopkins.
The lone score from Providence (1-9, 0-4) came at the 11:57 mark of the second quarter as Peter Wujciak scored with the assist going to Jake Nolan.
Notre Dame upped its lead back to three (4-1) on a tally from sophomore attackman Ryan Mix with 7:07 on the clock in the half. The Irish led 4-1 at halftime.
"I'm really happy with the way we played today," said Notre Dame head coach Kevin Corrigan. "Providence is a tough out. They don't have a lot of wins, but if you look at their scores, they are playing one and two-goal games with a lot of people. They play for that, to be there in the end. They have done that with just about every team they've played this year. So I'm really pleased with how we played today. We didn't give away anything. We were disciplined, smart and fundamentally sound."
Goals from Hopkins and Doyle gave the Irish a 6-1 lead by the end of the third quarter. Tallies from Ryan Foley, a junior midfielder, and Doyle just 53 seconds apart put the Irish up by seven (8-1) with 12 minutes remaining in the contest. Sophomore attackman Alex Eaton registered the final goal of the day with 3:16 left.
Friar goalie Christian Dzwilewski picked up the loss. He played 54:25 and allowed eight goals, while making 11 saves. Notre Dame senior Colt Power played the final 7:16 in goal for the Irish and made two saves. That was the first action of the season for Power.
Notre Dame outshot Providence 37-18. The Friars held a 9-5 advantage in faceoffs.
The Irish defense is allowing just 5.44 goals per game this season. Today was the fifth time this season Notre Dame held an opponent to five goals or fewer.
The Fighting Irish will return to action next Sunday at Georgetown. The BIG EAST tilt is scheduled for a 1:00 p.m. (ET) start in Washington, D.C.

Scoliosis surgery repairs abnormal curving of the spine (scoliosis). The goal is to safely straighten your child's spine and align your child's shoulders and hips to correct your child's back problem.
Spinal curvature surgery - child; Kyphoscoliosis surgery - child; Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery - child; VATS - child
Before surgery, your child will receive general anesthesia. This will make your child unconscious and unable to feel pain during the operation.
During surgery, your child's surgeon will use steel rods, hooks, screws, or other metal devices to straighten your child's spine and support the bones of the spine. Bone grafts are placed to hold the spine in the correct position and keep it from curving again.
The surgeon will make at least one surgical cut to get to your child's spine. This cut may be in your child's back, chest, or both places. The surgeon may also do the procedure using a special video camera.
During the surgery:
The surgeon may get bone for the grafts in these ways:
Different surgeries use different types of metal instruments. These are usually left in the body after the bone fuses together. Two of the more common procedures are:
During surgery, the nerves that come from the spine will be watched using special equipment to make sure no damage is done to any of the nerve roots.
Scoliosis surgery usually takes 4 - 6 hours. It may take longer or shorter for some children.
There are several reasons to treat scoliosis:
Braces are often tried first to keep the curve from getting worse.
The choice of when to have surgery will vary.
Surgery is usually recommended for the following children and adolescents with scoliosis of unknown cause (idiopathic scoliosis):
There may be complications with any of the procedures for scoliosis repair.
Risks of any anesthesia are:
Risks of any surgery are:
Possible complications from any scoliosis repair surgery are:
Problems that may develop in the future include:
Tell your child's doctor or nurse what medicines your child is taking. This includes medicines, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
Before the operation:
During the 2 weeks before the surgery:
On the day of the surgery:
The doctor or nurse will tell you when to arrive at the hospital. Be sure to arrive on time.
Your child will need to stay in the hospital for about 3 - 4 days after surgery. The repaired spine should be kept in its proper position to keep it aligned. If the surgery involved a surgical cut in the chest, your child may have a tube in the chest to drain fluid buildup. This tube is often removed after 24 - 72 hours.
A catheter (tube) may be placed in the bladder the first few days to help your child urinate.
Your child's stomach and bowels may not work for a few days after surgery. Your child may need to receive fluids and nutrition through an intravenous (IV) line.
Your child will receive pain medicine in the hospital. At first, pain medicine may be delivered through a special catheter inserted into your child's back. After that, a pump may be used to control how much pain medicine your child gets. Your child may also get shots or take pain pills.
Your child may have a body cast or a body brace.
Follow any instructions you are given on how to care for your child at home.
Your child's spine should look much straighter after surgery. There will still be some curve. It takes at least 3 months for the spinal bones to fuse together well. It will take 1 - 2 years for them to fuse completely.
Fusion stops growth in the spine. This is not usually a concern because most growth occurs in the long bones of the body, such as the leg bones. Children who have this surgery will probably gain height from both growth in the legs and from having a straighter spine.

Good news for Jailbreaker, not so good news for Unlocker...
Talk about short sightedness...
Keep up the good work Devs for advancing the software and MMi for reporting this - ignore people like the poster in #2...
Lovely to see they are on top of things! No dout there will be sightings of ios 5.0.1
Why are the older devices the first to get worked on? The iPhone 4 is the most recent device, therefore it should be first to get the untethered update.
It's good to know that there is an untethered jailbreak, but the fact is, it's only a beta, so it's buggy as **** and very unstable. Hopefully all this means is that when iOS 5 is released as the GM or final release it won't take more than 24 hours to release an untethered jailbreak.
Did someone say baseband unlock? never going to happen lol
I'd wager that the Devs concentrate on the 3GS first to check that what they're coding is "going down the right path" - before tackling the much more complex architecture of the iPhone 4.
Logically it makes sense to take care of the older devices first
That's what I heard.
I seriously can't understand why people buy locked iPhones and then have the nerve to ***** about the mod community not developing unlocks for them, for free.
A. Buy an unlocked iPhone 4 from Apple.
B. Get a different phone.
C. Get on an iFriendly carrier.
D. Learn to code AND how to find exploits in the baseband. Then you could send messages to yourself, telling yourself to hurry up.
I don't understand why everyone always complains.. they don't release jailbreaks... people complain... they dont release an unlock people complain..
seriously... come on... if you want an unlock go buy a sim solution for an unlock and stop complaining.. they are out there.. and then you don't have to worry about custom ipsw...
wow just grow up and stop complaining and support the community with what they have provided ... nothing is promised... why is that so difficult to understand...
PS.. honestly i think the mods should start handing out bans to the people that come and complain about unlocks in every thread.. theres so many of these posts its just ridiculous!!
What about for iPhone 4 ios5 , is there a Untethered jailbreak
So instead of responding with disdain, I'd suggest you thank all the people who work hard to provide you with free jailbreaks for each update.

A FORMER Miss Bolton has been jailed after she ran over a pedestrian as she drove home drunk from her work Christmas party.
Beauty queen Kristina Long, who left the man with "life changing injuries", did not stop at the scene, instead driving a further 21 miles home, just after midnight on December 15, 2012.
Witnesses rushed to the aid of the 51-year-old, who was left with a broken neck and leg, a pelvic fracture and bleeding in the brain in the incident, which happened in The Crescent, Salford, a 20mph zone.
The 26-year-old, who worked for legal firm Keogh's, had earlier been at her office Christmas party at The Reebok, and was dropping friends home in her Vauxhall Corsa before the crash.
She had agreed to drive her friend, Andrea Jackson, and two other men into Manchester.
The court heard that she was being distracted by Miss Jackson being sick at the time of the accident, when she was driving at more than 30mph.
A relative called the police on Long's behalf shortly after she arrived home. She lived in Bolton at the time.
She was breathalysed, nearly two hours after the crash, and was still over the limit.
Her victim, 53-year-old David Robinson, a museum technician from Salford, needed weeks of hospital treatment and the effects of his injuries could be permanent.
Ch Insp Rachel Buckle said: "This man will have to live with the effects of this incident for the rest of his life.
"At the moment a man who was fit and healthy, a keen skier and runner, is struggling with the most basic of tasks.
"As for Kristina Long, all of these life-changing injuries, which were at one point life-threatening, are down to a stupid mistake.
"This young woman had a job and a minimal criminal record."

- 'You've not given us anything': Residents and developers clash at meeting over 25 new houses
- Paedophile hunters catch man grooming someone he thought was 13-year-old girl
- Men jailed for 'horrendous and unprovoked' racially aggravated assaults
- Why there are suddenly loads of people gathering at Fred's statue
Long was crowned the first official Miss Bolton in 2010.
She had impressed judges with her pledge to talk to young women across the North West about domestic violence, having suffered abuse from an ex-boyfriend.
Originally from Belfast, she moved to Bolton to study media studies at Bolton University, while also working at Asda, in Manchester Road, Burnden.
She won a contract with a top modelling agency but told The Bolton News she did not plan to give up her two jobs, as a carer and a supermarket worker.
Long also tasted success at the World Miss University contest later the same year in South Korea, representing her home country of Northern Ireland.
She enjoyed a two-week all-expenses-paid trip to South Korea and won the speech award, impressing the judges with her knowledge of energy saving.
She lived in Farnworth for more than five years, later moving to Altrincham, and told The Bolton News she took part in beauty contests in the hope of getting into television or the media after her degree.
She also held a charity event in Bolton to raise money for Fortalice, the women's refuge in Farnworth.
Long, now of Copper Moss Lane, Altrincham, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing serious injury, failing to stop at the scene of a collision and driving with excess alcohol.
She was jailed for 12 months at Manchester Crown Court, and was also banned from driving for two years and ordered to take an extended test.

text: Now that the Olympics have ended Jimmy Fallon's ratings have started to slip so what better why to try and boost them then by giving some air time to an actress who has worked on how many movies the past three years? Three? How many made it into theatres? Not exactly what one would call a stellar casting coup. However that person is Lindsay Lohan and Jimmy Fallon is never going to say or do anything that will make Lindsay uncomfortable or not have his deluxe Kneepads on. Lindsay is going on the Fallon's show to talk about her reality show on OWN. Not so much reality as it is a ploy by OWN to have people actually look through their entire 500 channels to try and find where OWN actually is located. I think it is either somewhere within the shopping channels or shares time with HSN or something like that. I'm pretty sure people will watch the first episode. Does this mean that Lindsay has given up on her Oscar dream. For the past decade she has repeatedly claimed her goal was to have an Oscar by 30. Not going to make it. Why would you give her a role that even has a chance to win an Oscar? Would you have for example given her the Jennifer Lawrence role in American Hustle? No way. She will be stuck for the next few years making the same types of movies that every other has been actress tries to make. Straight to on demand and keep hoping someone will think you deserve another chance.

I am trying to select a row that matches a specific id but I'm having trouble where it pulls 29 results when there is only one, basically I have an Id and, based on that id, I would like to check against another table, if the id has a match pull the row, here is my query
wp_posts . * ,
wp_p2p.p2p_to AS connected
FROM wp_posts
wp_p2p ON wp_p2p.p2p_to = wp_posts.ID
wp_posts.post_type = 'post_ad'
wp_p2p.p2p_to = wp_posts.ID
The setup is like this
I have a post with id 40 and a post with id 41 in the table wp_postsIn the table wp_p2p I have a row with 2 fields from and to from has the value 41 and to has the value 40Given the fact that I know the value 40 I need to go to the table wp_p2p retrieve value 41 so I can select from the table wp_posts the row with id 41
your query looks okay (except for the ANDed condition, which is redundant with the ON condition)
the only thing that explains why 29 results instead of one, is that a given wp_posts row actually does have 29 related wp_p2p rows
the table has 29 records total and there is only one with that id so I am quite sure there is something wrong with my query, for now I am doing two queries as I needed this done but I am still looking for a way to pull the record in only one query
you say "the" record, but your WHERE clause selects ~all~ wp_posts rows with post_type = 'post_ad'
and then each of those is joined with ~all~ wp_p2p rows where p2p_to = wp_posts.ID
Well, actually I came here because I know I am doing it wrong, and have not been able to figure out how to do it so yes, you can point out what's wrong with my query but that does not really help me, thank you for trying to help anyway!
if my comments did not help you, perhaps you could try explaining your problem in more detail
for instance, which post were you trying to retrieve?
what did 40 and 41 have to do with it?
table wp_postspost id=40 is a post with text and it is of type postpost id=41 it's saved in the same table has an ad and it is type post_ad
table wp_p2phas 1 row only with the following detailsid 1 which does not really matterp2p_from = 41p2p_to = 40
I my script I have access to the id number of post 40 so that is what I have an int 40 then from there I have to create the query go to the the table wp_p2p.p2p_to that has a value of 40 select the table and grab the value of wp_p2p.p2p_from from that row which in this case would be 41 from there and having the 41 value go to the table wp_posts and grab the post with id 41 the ids are unique in wp_posts
obviously there are multiple rows being joined to provide you with 29 result rows
i think your query must be working exactly as you wrote it
if it's not doing what you want it to do, then you haven't correctly explained what you want
perhaps you could create a test case (CREATE TABLE stattements, plus INSERT statements for the data) which would allow us to try to reproduce your results

Tony Dungy says he would not want to 'deal with' Michael Sam distractions
(Yahoo!) Tony Dungy has always had a strong voice on African-American issues and even was a guiding light for Michael Vick at his lowest point. But the former Buccaneers and Colts head coach told the Tampa Bay Tribune he would not have wanted to help shepherd Michael Sam into the NFL if he was still coaching.
"I wouldn't have taken him,'' said Dungy, now an analyst for NBC. "Not because I don't believe Michael Sam should have a chance to play, but I wouldn't want to deal with all of it.
"It's not going to be totally smooth … things will happen.''
[ Smack talk season is back at Yahoo Sports: Sign up and play free Fantasy Football!]
Things almost happened with an Oprah-led TV crew was set to roll into St. Louis to tell Sam's story in the form of a documentary, but following some backlash to that announcement, Sam's camp announced that the Own Network project would be put on hold, which is industry talk for "someone tried to bury this thing in the desert."
Speaking of backlash, Dungy will receive some — and he should. This will not make for a popular stance among the media, who typically look to Dungy with respect on his opinions, and it appears to fly slightly in the face of what he has said on the topic previously.
When asked prior to the draft about Sam's place in the NFL after he had revealed to the world he was gay, Dungy said (via NBC Channel 2 in Terre Haute, Ind.):
"The NFL has always been based on merit, and I think that will continue to be the case with Michael Sam and the issue homosexuality or anything else. Guys who produce and play well will be welcomed into the league."
No one can appreciate a meritorious approach to building an NFL roster than Dungy, who played in the NFL as a minority in the 1970s, when racism likely was stronger and more prevalent in the league than it is it today. Had NFL teams held a similar stance about keeping African-Americans out of the NFL then as Dungy seems to be taking on the Sam issue now, then we'd be looking at a league that would have handicapped some of its best players.
Dungy was the first African American head coach in league history to win a Super Bowl.
There was more vitriol against Vick when he re-entered the league than what Sam has faced. As in exponentially more. If there are people protesting Sam's place in the NFL, they will be a mostly shunned and marginalized minority. No one is debating whether Sam belongs in the NFL, the way the convicted dog fighter Vick was after the Eagles signed him.
But Dungy acted as a mentor to Vick, and his efforts were noble. He encouraged teams to sign Vick before the Eagles did, speaking on Vick's behalf both publicly and privately to his friends around the league who were kicking the tires on signing him after Vick's prison stint. But Sam apparently represents a level of distraction that would be too much for Dungy. It's a puzzling take.
The Sam story has picked up a little with training camp approaching, but it has been mostly quiet outside of his emotional and moving speech at the ESPYs. Rather, the rookie who is dominating the news cycle since the draft (and, really, well before that) is Johnny Manziel. We'll need to get Dungy's take on Johnny Football one of these days.
Dungy had an opinion on the issue, and he stated it. Let's not eviscerate a man for being honest, even if his take is controversial. After all, he's expressing a view that other current NFL decision makers likely share — but would not admit to short of having a few doses of sodium pentothal mainlined — is revealing.
But Dungy also appeared to have given a scrubbed, politcally correct version of his stance in February to change it over only five months without much having changed in Sam's quest to become the first openly gay player in the NFL. There's an inconsistency and a lack of authenticity to what Dungy has said there that certainly are open to criticism.
Dungy also should clarify what exactly he thinks he'd be dealing with. By most accounts, Sam is humble and hungry to prove the doubters wrong and make the team as a seventh-round pick who sees himself on the outside looking in until he has been told he has made the 53-man roster. That's the kind of player most NFL coaches would want on their team.
Dungy seemed to "deal" with the distractions of Marvin Harrison being investigated for a homicide at the end of his time in Indianapolis. He dealt with Colts players Mike Doss, Darrell Reid, DeDe Dorsey, Dominic Rhodes and Dexter Reid who were arrested under Dungy's watch for various things that were illegal. Those were fine to deal with, but Sam — who chooses to date men — would be too much?
Dungy's talking about the media distraction, of course, and it's something that every NFL team discussed when bringing up Sam's draftabilty, just as Tim Tebow and his religion and the legion of followers might be the reason few teams wanted much to do with him. But if players such as Tebow and Sam, whose intentions appear to be good, can play then why should they be blackballed? That's sad and unfortunate if it's the prevailing NFL stream of thought.
Although not everyone supports Sam in his effort, you'd have to say that based on how the past five months have gone, Dungy would find his opinion — at least among people not employed in the NFL — to be in the minority.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) --Marie-Charlotte Mahul has a flawlessly symmetrical face featuring crystalline-blue eyes, a button nose and luscious lips. Her body looks great in a two piece--she's a former model, after all--and she has an adorable French accent, to boot. She also just happens to be a a realtor at Majestic Properties in Miami. In a housing market with properties increasingly underwater, some realtors have realized the secret to success may be posing as if they're headed out for a swim--with women scantily-clad in bikinis and men shirtless and muscular. Though Mahul's not convinced "about looks being a huge asset in our industry," it certainly doesn't hurt that photos of her in skimpy skivvies are just a click away, especially as the spring real estate season heats up.
"I can see an influence with new clients that are coming to your company for advice and help," Mahul admitted. "Those ones will stick with you if you are pretty--this is for sure." Realtors, of course, are thought of as notoriously put-together--primped, pomaded salesmen and saleswomen. But does that investment in personal attractiveness pay off in home prices? Apparently so, according to a study published last year in Applied Financial Economics by lead writer Sean P. Salter, associate professor of finance at Middle Tennessee State University. The paper, "Broker Beauty and Boon: A Study of Physical Attractiveness and Its Effect on Real Estate Brokers' Income and Productivity," finds that "beauty augments more attractive agents' wages and that more attractive agents use beauty to supplement classic production-related characteristics such as effort, intelligence and organizational skills." Countless studies show the relationship between a person's physical attractiveness and ability to influence others, and this persuasiveness seems to be the operative factor in home sales.
In residential real estate, Salter said, there is a recognized trade-off between the selling price and the time it takes to sell. But with the listing agent in particular, the more beautiful the realtor, the higher the selling price and the longer the house stays on the market. Those market dynamics are consistent with the strategy of listing agents who are willing to be patient for an uptick in price.

Fox News Whitewashes Financial Ties With NASCAR, Controversies Over NRA Sponsorship Of Race
Blog ››› ››› THOMAS BISHOP
Fox News host Heather Childers failed to disclose her employer's financial ties to NASCAR and controversies over the National Rifle Association's sponsorship of a NASCAR race during an interview with NASCAR chairman Brian France.
On the April 15 edition of America Live, France responded to allegations made by driver Brad Keselowski that he was unfairly targeted by NASCAR officials because of incidents leading up to the April 14 NRA 500 race. After France denied Keselowski's allegations, Childers allowed him to talk about NASCAR's Going Green initiative.
Childers failed to mention, however, that Fox Sports -- like Fox News, a division of News Corp. -- has a multibillion-dollar contract with NASCAR to televise races. Last year, Fox and NASCAR extended their contract to 2022. Fox will pay NASCAR a total of $1.76 billion to NASCAR under the terms of the current contract, which expires in 2014, and will pay an additional $2.4 billion under the eight-year extension. France stated regarding the extension:
NASCAR has been in very good hands and has enjoyed tremendous success the last 12 years in large part because of our fantastic partnership with Fox and Fox Sports Media Group.
Childers also failed to mention controversies linked to the NRA's sponsorship of the race. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) requested in a letter to News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch that Fox outlets not air the race because showing it "sends a harmful signal to the families affected by gun violence, as well as the millions of Americans who support sensible gun control measures and enjoy your sports programming." Murphy added, "Inserting Fox Sports in this debate at this critical time will give credence to an extreme organization that is opposed to reasonable policies to stem gun violence."
In light of the controversy over the NRA's sponsorship of the April 14 race, NASCAR has stated that it would become more involved in race-sponsorship decisions by speedways. Two drivers were reportedly advised by their public relations directors not to do interviews in the race's media center so they could avoid having the NRA logo behind them.
Childers and France also made no mention of a man who committed suicide with a gun in the speedway's infield during the running of the NRA 500.

In this day and age usually the interviews are so superficial because everything rotates around money and keeping the team and the sponsors happy. So you usually never get the honesty.

A modern, glass-wrapped hotel rises behind the ruins of a war-ravaged building in Kabul, Afghanistan. Since the ouster of the Taliban regime in 2001, foreign aid and investment have fueled an unprecedented construction boom in Afghanistan, mainly in Kabul but in other parts of the country as well.

This 2006 photo of the old district in Kabul, Afghanistan, shows one of the effects of the influx of foreign capital following the expulsion of the Taliban. Thousands of people have bought cars with their newfound wealth, leading to hours-long traffic snarls on streets previously plied mainly by donkey carts and bicycles.

Economic conditions in Afghanistan have improved dramatically since the fall of the Taliban, but citizens are still plagued by weak infrastructure, even in Kabul, and high national unemployment, last measured at 40 percent.

A March 2000 image of the shuttered National Museum in Kabul shows the toll inflicted by decades of civil war. Many of the museum's treasures were removed and hidden in 1988 out of fear they would be looted or destroyed. Some were lost to war damage and the Taliban, but a large cache of artifacts survived. Many of the recovered items are on display in the traveling exhibition "Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures From the National Museum, Kabul."

Greg Oden rumors have legs
Greg Oden appears to be well on his way to another go 'round in the NBA. He has only played the equivalent of one NBA season so far (82 games) since being drafted in 2007, but maybe the second chapter will be better.
Oden is scheduled to meet with three NBA teams regarding a possible job next year. Let's just hope his knees can hold up long enough for us to get a glimpse of what could've been.

description: The stingray has been roaming earth for more than 100 million years. See a place where divers can swim with stingrays.

title: Stingrays

name: Get Facts and Photos on Hundreds of Animals

transcript:
For over a hundred million years, the stingray has roamed the oceans, an almost mythological animal—extraordinarily graceful and yet considered potentially lethal.
Though not aggressive, the stingray is equipped with a fearsome means of defense—a venomous spine found near the base of its powerful, whip-like tail.
A large ray can drive this spine into a wooden boat or deliver an extremely serious and painful wound.
It’s most dangerous when lying camouflaged in sand.
It moves slowly, foraging for invertebrates hidden on the sea floor.
Because a stingray’s eyes are on top of its head, and its mouth and nostrils below, it can’t actually see what it’s eating.
It finds its food by smell, touch, and by sensing the electrical field of its prey.
The southern stingray is one of some 90 species of stingray. Like a prehistoric bird, its huge fins can reach up to six feet across.
They’re usually shy and elusive animals, hard to get close to. But the warm, clear waters of the Cayman Islands offer something different.
On the north side of Grand Cayman island, swarms of stingrays live inside a protective barrier reef, where the water is calm and shallow.
Nicknamed “Stingray City”…this is one of the only places on Earth where stingrays are used to people.
Here divers can swim alongside the rays, and meet these remarkable animals, face to fin.

2010 Tax Software Survey
In our 2010 tax software survey, more than 12,000 CPAs assessed the tax preparation products they used this past tax season. Here are the full results on what they liked — and disliked — about their software.
September 2010
The Journal of Accountancy and The Tax Adviser conducted a survey of AICPA members who prepared 2009 tax returns for a fee to determine which tax preparation software products were the most popular, what aspects of those products preparers liked and what they disliked. Of the 17 products identified for the survey, Drake and UltraTax CS, a Thomson Reuters product, were in a virtual tie for first place for the highest overall rating. Drake scored the highest (4.44) on a scale of one to five, with five meaning "very good." That was just a hair above UltraTax CS, which received a rating of 4.43. Intuit's Lacerte product came in a close third, scoring a 4.38, with Thomson's other package, GoSystem Tax RS, receiving the lowest score, 3.39 (for the overall ratings, see Exhibit 1).
These results mirror those in the 2009 survey in which Drake and UltraTax again were in a virtual tie with 4.439 and 4.436, respectively, Lacerte came in third with 4.43 and GoSystem trailed the rest of the field with 3.55. However, there was a notable rise in the percentage of respondents who disliked the price of their packages and a rise in the percentage of respondents turning to chat for technical support.
There has also been an increasing trend of companies making their products available online, according to feedback from vendors.
The survey, which received 12,018 responses, was conducted in May 2010. The exhibits show detailed answers for nine of the 17 products included in the survey: ATX 1040 (CCH), ATX MAX (CCH), Drake, GoSystem Tax, Lacerte, ProSeries (Intuit), ProSystem fx Tax (CCH), TaxWorks (RedGear Technologies) and UltraTax CS. Information and ratings for products that received fewer than 100 responses — CrossLink 1040 by Petz Enterprises, Great Tax by Greatland Corp., Intuit ProLine Tax Online Edition, TaxACT, TaxSimple, Tax Slayer Pro, TaxWise and TurboTax (Intuit's consumer product) — are not included in this article, but product information provided by the vendors is available here. Greatland did not submit the requested data, so information about that vendor's product is not listed.
Products and Users
Users of CCH's ProSystem fx Tax software once again dominated the number of people completing the survey, comprising 33 percent of the 12,018 total respondents; 22 percent used Lacerte and 19 percent used UltraTax CS. Last year, 28 percent of the 9,776 respondents used ProSystem fx Tax, 19 percent used Lacerte and 14 percent used UltraTax.
Just over half of this year's respondents prepared returns for more than 500 clients. Among those, 44 percent used ProSystem, 20 percent Lacerte and 19 percent UltraTax. Among respondents who prepared returns for 500 or fewer clients, 26 percent used Lacerte, 21 percent ProSystem and 18 percent UltraTax.
Switching Products Mostly Due to Price
As is generally the case, only a small minority of respondents (six percent) switched their tax preparation software from another product before this year's tax season. However, that was up from the four percent of total respondents in last year's survey who said they had switched. While 89 percent of this year's respondents said they plan to use the same software next season, two percent will not and the remainder said they don't know.
The primary reason respondents switched was price, with 45 percent of switchers selecting that choice, a large increase from the 36 percent in last year's survey. Integration with other software came in a distant second, with 18 percent of switchers selecting that reason (see Exhibit 2).

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Sokhorn is from Cambodia. She has 5 children. She needs a loan of $400 to buy ingredients to expand dessert sales.
Sokhorn is from Cambodia. She has 5 children. She needs a loan of $400 to buy ingredients to expand dessert sales.
Sokhorn, the mother of five, sells desserts for a living; her husband is a taxi driver. Due to the lack of money, she cannot expand her business. She hopes to find more customers and she wants to have good partners to supply her with the necessary materials she needs to make her desserts.
A World Vision micro loan will allow Sokhorn to purchase the supplies she needs to make her dessert business profitable.
The added income will make her family's living conditions better. Her children can attend school and she can cover school supplies and clothing after repaying her loan.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.
There is no community update available at this time.
Thank you for empowering Sokhorn Khim with the opportunity to expand her dessert sales business. With the $400 loan Sokhorn was able to buy ingredients to expand her dessert business.
Sokhorn is on her way to repaying her small business loan, as she makes weekly payments of $5. Thanks to the profits she has earned, Sokhorn can afford to purchase food for her family, expand her current business and buy supplies in bulk.
Sokhorn hopes to provide her children with a brighter future and her five children continue to study in school.
Thank you for supporting hardworking entrepreneurs like Sokhorn and World Vision Micro!
Sokhorn Khim has successfully repaid her small business loan. She invested the $400 for her dessert sales business.
Thanks to the loan that she received, Sokhorn was able to use the profits from her business to purchase her children's school supplies and buy supplies in bulk. In the future, Sokhorn aspires to earn enough to expand her current business and take out another loan.
Sokhorn's five children continue to study in school. Because she was able to invest in her business, she will be able to invest in her family.
Thank you for investing in the power of hardworking people like Sokhorn through World Vision! These funds are now available to help other entrepreneurs in Sokhorn's community.

By clicking Submit, you accept the Adobe Terms of Use.
The Flex framework supports the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) specification for web services through the WebServices component. The WebServices component can consume data from the server in the structured XML format named Web Services Description Language (WSDL).
In this exercise you will use the same form from Exercise 2.04 (Populating an ArrayCollection with retrieved data) to implement a WebService object that handles the WSDL document with dynamic data for the application. You will retrieve all of the fictional employees in a company to display in a DropDownList control (see Figure 1).
In this section, you will use a WebService object to retrieve the data from a WSDL document generated on request to a URL.
Note: This example generates the XML using an Adobe ColdFusion server, but you can use any server to generate the XML file. Refer to the Flex and ColdFusion, PHP, Java, or .NET integration pages for more information.
You should see the WSDL document shown in Figure 2.

Note: In order to complete this part of the exercise, you must have Flash Builder Premium Edition installed. If you have Flash Builder Standard Edition installed, skip this section and continue with the next section. If you want to download and install a trial version of Flash Builder Premium Edition, be sure to 1) back up your existing workspace and projects, 2) uninstall Flash Builder Standard Edition, and then 3) install the trial version of Flash Builder Premium Edition. To compare the Standard Edition with the Premium Edition, check out the Upgrade Details page.
In this section you will use the Network Monitor view to examine the data returned by the WebService object.
Note: If the workspace you are using has multiple projects open, you may not see the recording in the Network Monitor. Close all other projects and enable the monitor again for your current project and make sure the message in the Network Monitor view reads, "Enabled for project 'ex2_05_web_starter.'"
You should see that the data result is displayed in the Network Monitor as shown in Figure 8. Note the data properties are all uppercase. ColdFusion returns properties in all upper case format by default. You need to adjust the Flex controls to be compatible with the data.
In this section you will store the returned data from the WebService object in an

A sheriff's sergeant struck an 8-year-old boy this morning in front of Adelanto Elementary School when the boy reportedly ran into the path of the sergeant's patrol unit, San Bernardino County Sheriff's officials said.
The incident happened before 9 a.m. in front of the school in the 1700 block of Jonathan Street, sheriff's officials said. The school begins classes at 9 a.m., according to the Adelanto School District's website.
The boy was exiting his mother's vehicle which was stopped in the southbound lanes of Jonathan Street, according to a sheriff's news release. The boy ran behind her car, into the northbound lane of Jonathan Road and into the path of a sheriff's patrol vehicle driven by Sgt. Wendell Anderson. Anderson was driving at about 4 to 6 mph when the incident took place, according to investigators.
The boy was hit by the vehicle's bumper on the driver's side, knocking the juvenile to the ground, according to officials.
The boy was taken to a hospital with minor to moderate injuries.
Jonathan Street was shut down for at least two hours for the investigation.
Classes at Adelanto Elementary School continued as usual, according to school staff, but parents have the option of taking their children home for the day. It was unclear if any children witnessed the incident.
The incident is being investigated by the Victorville station's Major Accident Investigation Team.

'World' Champs
News & Events
The Geo-Bears are on top of the world.
In a manner of speaking, anyway. The university's geography team scored a resounding victory in this year's Geography Bowl, which was held at Clark University as part of the annual New England-St. Lawrence Valley Geography Society conference.
It was the Geo-Bears first win in the 20-plus year history of the event. Members of the winning team are Kevin Bean, Courtney Bigelow, Phillip Clougher, Tyler Saia and Warren Sutcliffe.
The squad bested the largest field ever gathered for the event. The other competitors included Salem State University, Clark University, University of New Hampshire, University of Maine, Keene State University and Framingham State University among others. The Bears swept every round of the competition, besting a tough Clark squad in the final round.
Clark fields a team composed of undergraduates and graduate students, and has "one of the foremost geography departments in the United States," according to Dr. James Hayes-Bohanan, professor of geography.
"All of BSU and the geography department are proud of this achievement," said his colleague Dr. Vernon Domingo.
A celebration was held for the team back on campus, and the Geo-Bears posed with the diminutive trophy. As Professor Hayes-Bohanan said, "We are to be proud of their achievement. The championship cup is small but meaningful."

"Peaches weren't in-season when I made this so instead of water+sugar I just used the (extra-lite) syrup from 2 cans of peaches and it worked great. Also fresh raspberries and blackberries were on sale and blueberries weren't so I went with a mix of all three - nice colors.As for the potluck supper I took this to, there was so much food that every dish had at least a little bit of leftovers... every dish except this one. This was cleaned up quick and received universal praise. Definitely a crowd pleaser that I'll make again."
