If a new car is not in your budget, or you have found the need for a second car, a quality used car offers you a way to fit your needs at a price that can be significantly less than a new car. With the availability of extended warranties and factory certified used cars, you can also enjoy many of the benefits of a new car without paying the new car price. With so many used cars out there, it can be hard to choose one without doing your homework. The following list contains eight top used vehicles from compact to luxury to give you a head start on your shopping assignment.
2009 Scion tC
If you have a small budget but do not want to settle for a stripped down compact car, the 2009 Scion tC is a smart choice. The Scion tC is sporty, surprisingly spacious and has an abundance of standard features, more than many others in its class. While it was available in only one trim, Scion does do a nice job of offering a large variety of available options including upgraded audio systems and touchscreen navigation. The Scion tC also has something most other cars in its class do not have and that is cargo room. The 2009 tC has 12.8 cubic feet of cargo room, nearly as much as cars one class up. The Scion tC also has more horsepower than most of its competition and while it does take fuel economy down a bit, it does not feel like you are driving a small car that can be had in most cases for under $10,000.
2009 Honda Accord
The 2009 Honda Accord offers performance, power, safety, and quality all in one affordable used car. With the average price ranging from around $11,000 for a base model to just over $15,000 for the top-of-the line V6 with leather, the Accord offers a lot of value for your dollar. It also comes with an impressive list of standard features that vary by trim that include leather upholstery, a sunroof, dual zone climate control and an upgraded multi-CD audio system. It is also highly rated when it comes to safety with six airbags, ABS, and stability and traction control. While the Accord does not offer as much trunk space as some of its competition, there is ample rear passenger room for three average size adults. Fuel-economy is also a bonus thanks to its variable-valve timing with and EPA rating of 22 mpg city/31 highway.
2009 Toyota Avalon
The 2009 Toyota Avalon gives you luxury, passenger room, and reliability at a great value. Toyota has a long history of building reliable, quality cars and its flagship Avalon is no exception. The quality and value of the 2009 Toyota Avalon was so impressive it received the title of Best Large Car for the Money by U.S. News. With abundant standard features that include a power driver seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, premium audio system, electronic stability control, reclining rear seats, and a long list of available luxury options, the Avalon gives you a lot for a smaller price. Powered by a 3.5-liter V6, the Avalon also has impressive horsepower with the bonus of excellent fuel economy for its class. With a fully equipped 2009 Toyota Avalon available for around $17,000, it is definitely a smart choice if you are looking for passenger room and luxury.
2010 Ford Mustang
For those that want a muscle car with a lower used price tag, nothing says power and performance like a 2010 Ford Mustang. For over 50 years, the Mustang has stood as an American icon and whether it is new or used, there is nothing quite like owning one. The 2010 Ford Mustang features a redesigned cabin that offers a more driver-friendly experience and is available in a number of configurations from a V6 with a manual transmission to a powerful V8 with a choice of automatic or manual transmission. Standard features include front sport bucket seats, CD audio system, power windows and locks plus a number of options including an upgrade to leather seating, infotainment system with navigation, glass roof and rear vision camera. While it is a sports car, the Mustang goes offer something other cars in its class does not and that is trunk space. With 13.4 cubic feet of cargo room, it really is a "grocery-getter." With fuel-economy in the average range for its class, the Ford Mustang still offers a great car that is fun to drive and can be had for around $22,000 for the base V6 model up to around $37,000 for a fully-loaded high-performance V8.
2010 Toyota Prius
If you are looking for a used car that will get you the most fuel economy for your money, the 2010 Toyota Prius hybrid is a great choice. The Prius may not be the most flashy used car around, but if you spend a lot of time on the road, it is the fuel savings that will make it most attractive. The Prius also offers a roomy cabin and a large amount of cargo space for a vehicle its size. Standard features that vary by trim include push button start, Bluetooth, leather heated front seats, navigation, and an upgraded audio system. Powered by a fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine paired with dual electric motors and a continuously variable transmission, the Prius offers fuel economy of 51 mpg city/48 highway. As far as pricing, a 2010 Toyota Prius sells for around $15,000, much less than the price tag of any brand new hybrid, with the same fuel saving potential.
2011 GMC Sierra 1500
As pickup trucks have evolved, their price has continued to grow as well. If you are looking for a full-size pickup at a savings, the 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 is one of the most versatile and capable used trucks you can buy. With a variety of engine sizes, cab styles and trim levels, the Sierra 1500 offers everything from a basic work truck to a well-appointed luxury truck that makes even long trips a pleasure. While standard features for the basic 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 are somewhat limited, the list of available features is quite long. The basic work truck gives you a choice of cab sizes, CD player, and air conditioning. Moving up through the trim levels standard features and options include leather upholstery, premium audio systems, heated power front bucket seats, a sunroof and a variety of driver assist features. With a price range of around $14,500 for the base version up to around $35,000 for a full-loaded crew cab V8, the 2011 GMC Sierra will give you everything you want and need in a full-size truck, except the high price tag.
2010 Toyota Venza
There is no doubt that the SUV is one of the most popular vehicles on the road today. If you are looking for a family-friendly yet budget-friendly crossover SUV, the 2010 Toyota Venza is worth a closer look. The 2010 Venza seats five comfortably and offers an ample amount of cargo room while still giving you the driving response and handling of a large sedan. The Venza also ranks high in fuel-economy whether you choose one powered by the standard four-cylinder engine or upgrade to one with the 268-horsepower V6 engine. While the 2010 Venza is only offered in one trim level, Toyota has appointed it quite well. Standard features include dual-zone climate control, power driver's seat, mobile phone connectivity, six-speaker audio system, and satellite radio. The 2010 Venza also offers a choice of front- or all-wheel-drive. Prices for a used 2010 Toyota Venza ranges from around $16,500 for the standard equipped version to approximately $20,000 for a Venza loaded with available options such as leather upholstery and navigation.
2010 Lexus GS
If you are looking for a large luxury car on a budget more suited for a small sedan, consider the 2010 Lexus GS as your next car. Available in a GS 350 with a V6, a GS 460 with a V8 or in a hybrid version, the Lexus GS offers an engine option that fits your driving habits. It is also available with all-wheel-drive for better handling in inclement weather, but for better fuel economy, the rear-wheel-drive is the better choice. The GS is spacious but not as spacious as it could be for taller passengers, however, what it lacks in extra legroom it definitely makes up for in luxury appointments. Standard features include premium leather upholstery, power seats, dual-zone climate control, and a very upscale interior look. The 2010 Lexus GS also has a variety of available options that include navigation, rear vision camera, adaptive cruise control, ventilated front seats, and a premium audio system. With a Lexus GS priced at upwards of $45,000 new, a used 2010 Lexus GS ranges in price from $22,000 to $25,000, giving you a luxury car at a small car price.
Shopping for a used car does not have to be overwhelming. Start with a budget range, determine what size vehicle fits your needs, and then do your homework. The eight vehicles we chose run from compact to luxury with a price tag of under $10,000 to around $25,000, the typical price range of those shopping for a quality used car. Our choices were also based on value, reliability, safety, and fuel-economy, four more points that are very important to consider when shopping for a used vehicle. A good used car can offer you all the style, amenities, and fuel economy of a new car all at a substantially lower price. We hope that we have helped you in your search for a used car and maybe one our suggestions will be your perfect next "new-to-you" used vehicle.

I have DELL PowerEdge SC440 Server along with Drivers CD. Installed Windows 2003 Enterprise Evaluation Edition Operating System. Then installed the Video and Chipset drivers available in the CD. Couldn't find the Sound drivers in it. Can anyone please tell me how to install the Sound drivers? Many thanks in advance.

Typically there is no need for sound on a server which is most likely why you're having trouble. I did a search on the Dell website and came up empty handed.
Does anyone have any ideas?
*Moved to Dell Group*
May 14, 2008 at 8:41 UTC
Tried it myself on sbs03 don't work. trust me. Sorry.
May 14, 2008 at 11:23 UTC
I will try not to judge why you want sound on a server, as I am sure you have your reasons. (No disrespect to you, Myshell, I love you.) However, in my experience alot of the Poweredge boxen have the ADI198x sound cards. Have you tried entering in your Service Tag here and getting the original sound drivers? Are there any errors you are experiencing or are you just unable to locate drivers?
May 14, 2008 at 3:48 UTC
Hi All. Many thanks for your response and time. I have got the solution for my problem just a moment back when I was trying with USB Sound Flash Drive (with two holes one for headphone and the other for microphone). When connected, the computer automatically detects the device and one can use headphones or speakers to utilise this facility, which means there is no need for separate sound drivers.

I am not a Dell fan, but Technology ROCKS!

I know you said you had a solution already, but I have new information for other people who may find this topic helpful in the future.
This article here explains the process for using win2k8 as a workstation:
And one of the sections mentions enabling and setting to Automatic the Windows Audio service in services.msc.
I checked my win2k3 boxes and they also had the service disabled. This may have been the issue all along and the usb somehow bypasses that issue. A standard headphone set would still need to enable this service to overcome the issue.
Jul 1, 2008 at 12:00 UTC
Sound is not a requierment for server. If you need 1 add a pci card or a usb sound card.
I know quite a few ppl who need sound in a server for a application. I find it hard to beleve somone would use server 2008 as a desktop, unless you need server class hardware for a desktop application (i have 3 in this setup for a factory line, needed hotswap raid 1 .. but no OEMs sells a workstation with intergrated hotswap + xp)
Jul 1, 2008 at 2:20 UTC
Then I guess you do understand the need for a server as a workstation.
Jul 2, 2008 at 11:57 UTC
Just because a server needs a sound card does not mean it is a workstation. I have come across a few pieces of multimedia software in the past that just will not run without a sound card.
The other reason why you might need a sound card on a server is for notification purposes. For what it's worth, I have found that the easiest way round is just to install a bog standard, soundblaster compatible sound card. Mine cost around £6.00 (about $12) and is a genius soundmaker.
There is also a possibility that the board has jacks but no sound hardware as such (makes for a simpler design). By the way, my workstation is an old recycled Dell server.
Aug 22, 2008 at 1:12 UTC
Dell servers do not have sound cards, is ther even a port on the back, do you see unknown hardwaree in deivce manager.
I have never seen a dell server with a sound card in it, true server boards dont include them. You will need to add a sound card, and if using a windows server OS enable the sound service .. its disabled by default.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

(Find sources: Art Alexakis – news, books, scholar)
Template loop detected: Template:Infobox Musical artist
Arthur Paul "Art" Alexakis (born April 12, 1962) is the American singer, lead guitarist and songwriter of the rock band Everclear.
Early life
Alexakis was born in Los Angeles, California. Alexakis' father walked out on the family, leaving Alexakis, his mother, his brother, and his three sisters to fend for themselves. Not long after, financial difficulties forced Alexakis' mother to relocate the family to the Mar Vista Gardens housing projects in California, located near Culver City.
There, he came in direct contact with the area's criminal and drug culture. His brother George died of a heroin overdose when Alexakis was 12. Alexakis' 15-year-old girlfriend committed suicide also when he was 12.[1] Not long after her death, Alexakis attempted suicide by filling his pockets with sand and lead weights, and jumping off the Santa Monica Pier. He claims that the vision and voice of his brother George compelled him to survive.[2]
Over the next eight years, he was shuffled around between various family members all over the country. He spent a brief period in Houston, Texas, living with his father, and a period in Roseburg, Oregon, living with his sister, a born-again Christian, and her husband. Eventually, he returned to LA to live with his mother. He attended journalism school for a time, and worked as a music reviewer for The Evening Outlook, a small newspaper in Santa Monica. Eventually, a near-fatal cocaine overdose pushed him to quit drugs cold turkey.
Early bands
After quitting drugs, Alexakis briefly attended UCLA film school. While living in Los Angeles, he organized a band called Shakin' Brave. Shakin' Brave featured a rather rough rock sound, but never really rose above the sea of music in Southern California. Generally frustrated with the music scene in LA, Alexakis and his first wife Anita relocated to San Francisco.
While living in San Francisco, Alexakis stumbled upon a genre of music known as "cowpunk". The sound meshed together the two prevalent forms of music with which he grew up - country and rock and roll. Inspired, Alexakis established Shindig Records. Much of this period was explicitly detailed in the album, Deep in the Heart of the Beast in the Sun, which was originally intended as a solo album, but gradually developed into a group project under the name Colorfinger.
In 1992, within a single month, Shindig went bankrupt, Colorfinger disbanded, and Alexakis' girlfriend Jenny became pregnant. Seeking a change of scenery, Alexakis moved to Portland, Oregon. There, he married his girlfriend and had a daughter named Annabelle Rose Alexakis.
Following the move to Portland, Alexakis placed an ad in The Rocket seeking a bass player and a drummer to form a new band. Alexakis had two respondents, Craig Montoya and Scott Cuthbert. The trio became the first incarnation of Everclear. After Cuthbert was replaced by Greg Eklund, the band spent the better part of a decade as a dominant act on alternative rock radio. The band scored three platinum albums in Sparkle & Fade, So Much for the Afterglow, and Songs from an American Movie, Vol. 1: Learning How to Smile.
The instability and personal turmoil Alexakis experienced throughout his life would directly inspire his lyrics. "Father of Mine" and "Why I Don't Believe in God" described his difficult youth. "Heroin Girl", "Strawberry", and "Color Pit" touched upon his drug addictions.[3] Everclear's first major album, Sparkle & Fade, deals with the themes of escape and redemption that pervaded his life upon leaving San Francisco.
Solo projects
While finding success as a musical act and songwriter, Alexakis began taking on other projects within the music industry. For several years, he served as an A&R representative for Capitol Records. In 1996, he produced Frogpond's 1996 album Count to Ten. Alexakis was interviewed on Space Ghost Coast to Coast but the interview never aired, although the interview is quickly glimpsed on Episode 60, "Lawsuit". In the early 2000s, Alexakis established his own label, Popularity Recordings, as a subsidiary of Artemis Records. Alexakis produced the label's first release, the 2002 album Volume by Flipp. However, Alexakis chose to shutter the label in 2003.
Alexakis has also dabbled in songwriting with other artists, including co-writing the song "At the End of the Day" released on Marion Raven's 2005 and 2007 albums, Here I Am and Set Me Free, respectively.
In August 2006, Alexakis appeared on The O'Reilly Factor discussing the music video for "Hater", the first single from Everclear's Welcome to the Drama Club.
On October 30, 2007, he announced on MySpace that he is planning on releasing an album of cover songs next year. He also said that he is planning on going on a solo tour. In February 2008, he announced that the album would be released on April 15, 2008, titled The Vegas Years.
While pursuing a music career, Alexakis has also dabbled in acting. In 2000, he made brief appearances in the Heather Graham comedy Committed. Two years later, he made cameo appearances in two episodes of The Chris Isaak Show. In 2006, Alexakis appeared on an episode of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide on Nickelodeon. He also had a lead role in the 2006 short film Room to Breathe.[4] He also played a small role of a homeless drug addict in the movie "The Basketball Diaries" featuring Leonardo DiCaprio. In October 2008, Alexakis entered the studio with the Minneapolis-based band Apparently Nothing to produce their debut album, tentatively titled The Middle Coast.[5]
Political activism
In 2000, Alexakis testified before Congress in support of HR 1488, the Compassion for Children and Child Support Enforcement Act.[6] Alexakis was a delegate for the 2004 Democratic National Convention representing Oregon's 3rd congressional district after campaigning for John Edwards during the 2004 Democratic Presidential primaries. He and Everclear recorded the Woody Guthrie standard "This Land Is Your Land",[7] which he performed at several political events.
He has also been involved in drug awareness programs, including the taping of Public service announcements for the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Along with Everclear, he has performed for U.S. soldiers in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and Hawaii. He has also performed for Snowball Express, which provides events for military families who lost loved ones in the war.
Appearance in TV
Alexakis has appeared in the Nickleodeon sitcom Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide as a music teacher named Mr. Gibson (a reference to Gibson guitars).
Personal life
Alexakis has been married three times, and is currently engaged. He has a daughter named Annabella Rose (born 1993), from his relationship with Jenny Dodson. He and his current fiancee have a daughter named Arizona Star, born on November 10, 2007.
On January 4, 2005, Alexakis filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California. According to the filing, Alexakis owed a federal tax bill for the years 1999, 2001 and 2002 of $2.75 million, as well as nearly $230,000 to the Oregon Department of Revenue and more than $120,000 in credit card debt spread over several accounts. As a result of the bankruptcy, he sold all his rights to the previous Everclear catalogue in order to pay some off.
During his younger years, Alexakis was an atheist. However, in his MySpace blog upon release of the Everclear song "Jesus Was a Democrat", Alexakis stated that he is a Christian.
i am a christian...and i resent the fact that most people who are not christians are afraid of or angry at the perception of what a "christian" is because of the intolerance, hypocrisy, racism, ignorance and hatred of the stereo typical right wing christian..... sarah palin much.?"[8]

Getting ready for Rosh Hashanah dinner on Thursday and I haven't been happy with my brisket the last two years (too dry and tough). I'm thinking about going the slow cooker route. What do people prefer? Oven or slow cooker?
Full disclosure, I'm on the CHOW team and can borrow a slow cooker from the kitchen. Should I give it a go or try an overnight method in my oven?

Too bad these guys couldn't have made their comebacks together.
Jose Canseco, 46-year-old poster boy for baseball's steroid era, is the new DH and bench coach for the independent Laredo (Tex.) Broncos of the United Baseball League.
He homered as a pinch-hitter in his debut Monday night.
Former Red Sox left-hander, Bill Lee who said in his day "everybody juiced in some way," will be returning to the mound at age 64. Lee will start the Sept. 5 game for the Brockton (Mass.) Rox of the Can-American League.
Canseco, the 1988 AL MVP, who says he'll also pitch for the Broncos, hit a long home run to left-center on the third pitch of his first at-bat, helping his team beat the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings 16-8. He also bounced into a double play later in the game.
"I don't know how I'll perform physically, since I'm 46 and haven't played at this level in a long time," said Canseco, who retired in 2002. "We'll see what happens."
Canseco, who hit 462 homers in 17 major league seasons, admitted using steroids in two memoirs and claimed as many as 85 percent of players did likewise.
Lee, known as the "Spaceman," primarily for his antics off the field, holds the Red Sox record for most games pitched by a left-hander (321) and was inducted into that franchise's Hall of Fame in 2008.
Although a baseball purist on many fronts, Lee has long been sympathetic to those labeled as users of performance enhancing drugs, primarily because he says they were ingrained in the culture of the game.
"You had a rough night, so you take a few greenies," he said. "To single out ballplayers and BALCO for putting a little Clear on the back of your tongue to make you heal faster from injuries ... hell, how many times did I get injected? At the end of the '74 season I couldn't get out of bed because my kidneys shut down. "
Lee, who still pitches in over-40 men's leagues in New England and Canada, isn't the first former Red Sox to take a curtain call with the Rox. Brockton signed Oil Can Boyd to pitch in 2005.

Casino Concern Drives Land Bill
One state lawmaker is taking aim at Native American groups who want control over Georgia land. The bill comes about because of concerns over casino gambling. Brunswick State Senator William Ligon has proposed a bill that would require Native Americans to get a two-thirds majority in the legislature before Georgia gives its consent to new tribal lands.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting with Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, Intuc president G. Sanjeeva Reddy said selloff in state-owned companies should be carried out judiciously, and workers must be given an opportunity to run them. The meeting was attended by leaders of the country's frontline unions such as Intuc, Citu, BMS and HMS.
"Disinvestment must be pushed only where it is necessary, and certainly not in profit-making PSUs. The money from disinvestment must be ploughed back to rehabilitate these companies. Most important, the government must give workers a chance to run these PSUs," Reddy said.
According to sources, today's meeting was convened primarily to persuade unions to call off their planned three-day strike from August 17 against the government's disinvestment policy. The Prime Minister, while explaining to them the need for selloff in public sector units, won a breather when these leaders agreed to defer the proposed strike.
The unions want divestment to be limited to 40 per cent, PSU shares allotted to employees and officers, and bulk allotment of shares to monopoly houses to discouraged. The aim is to ensure that the control remains with the government.
The unions also asked the government to amend the Bonus Act to raise the eligibility limit, defer proposals for amendment of other Labour Laws till the second National Commission on labour submits its recommendations and amend Sica to ensure quick revival of PSUs.
At the same time, Reddy said contract labour in companies must be regularised, and the recent cut in EPF rate should be reviewed.
Sources said the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) continued to adopt a hawkish line against multinationals. Its chief, R. K. Bhakt, said the government should ensure that these companies are not allowed to enter so easily and quickly.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister assured trade union leaders that his government did not want a confrontation with workers, and would protect their interest while pursuing its disinvestment strategy.
Vajpayee said there should be a congenial industrial climate in the country for an all-round development. He sought to allay apprehensions that his government was anti-labour.
The meeting was also attended by finance minister Yashwant Sinha, labour minister Satyanarain Jatiya and the new disinvestment minister, Arun Shourie, who led the call to trade unions to withdraw their notice for a strike in PSUs.
The project will be monitored directly by the secretary of the ministry who will be the mission co-ordinator with IT professionals as members.
Mahajan will inaugurate the computer information centres and earth stations of the software technology park of India in Guwahati, tomorrow. He will also inaugurate the computerised Braille transcription system for the blind, being implemented by the Centre for Electronics Design and Technology of India.
The government will introduce, for the first time, the build operate and transfer (BOT) scheme in the infotech sector.
"There is a hidden IT potential in the north-east. The STPIs in Assam and Sikkim would provide a major boost to the region," Mahajan said.
"They would attract both software and hardware companies, generating local employment," he added.
By pressing for easier entry norms, the small players have sought to take on the might of big companies keen on grabbing a slice of the STD pie. They want the mandatory minimum net worth reduced from Rs 2,500 crore to Rs 500 crore. The licence fee, they have urged the government, should be Rs 200 crore — not the Rs 500 crore that has already been fixed. In addition, they say this amount should be split equally between a licence fee and a bank guarantee.
"It is true that a few companies have approached us to reduce the licence fee and net worth. It would be unfair to name them since all they have done is to make a request," sources working on the final guidelines for NLD services said.
Department of Telecommunications (DoT) secretary Shyamal Ghosh today attended a meeting on the issue convened by the secretary in the Prime Minister's office to discuss the final draft. He had said on Thursday that the package of norms have already been finalised, and that they would be announced much before the August 15 deadline set by the Prime Minister.
Sources say the final norms will take into account the need for faster installation of network and rollout of services on time.
"Internet service providers are the best examples of how consumers can benefit from lower rates and improved quality of service and customer. This can be witnessed in the case of Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited.
This is an issue which Prime ministers office has directed DoT to keep in mind while framing the final guidelines," the sources said.

I'm not good at these sorts of things. I'm both shy and really reserved, so talking myself up is sort of excruciating. I'm pretty positive, I've been assured I am funny once I'm comfortable with people, I laugh a lot. I'm a geek and I like geeky things. I am a life-long Star Wars fan. I love Lego and books. My favourite comic book character is Tim Drake as Robin. I am easily distracted by shiny things, sort of like a magpie.
I like hiking and going for walks. I strength train and do yoga, and I don't own a car so I walk pretty much everywhere. I like traveling, seeing things and places, history, rocks, and anything that is really old. I majored in Archaeology and Medieval history. I went to Paris last year with my best friend and fell in love with it. I love cathedrals. My favourite artist is Mucha. I like to cook and hate to do dishes.
Movies: Star Wars, movies with big fuck-off explosions, period dramas, independent films (but not the artsy kind that don't make sense), Trainspotting, Indiana Jones. I don't watch a lot of movies in the theatre.
TV Shows: The Big Bang Theory, Hoarders (I *know*, but it is very inspirational when you need to clean), Mad Men, The Borgias, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones. Documentary style shows that are not about WWII. Anything about ancient and/or medieval history or archaeology, though sometimes just to laugh at how wrong they are. DIY shows. I don't actually watch a lot of TV.
Music: I like a lot of music. My tastes are...eclectic. I like folk music and rock. I don't like acid jazz or opera.
Food: chocolate, indian, mexican. I don't really like red meat. Celery is the vegetable of the devil.
my cats
the internet
...okay, that makes me sound like a flake. I'm not a flake, and I don't have ADHD. I just think a lot, about a lot of things, and unless I am really interested in something I will not give it 100% of my attention. For example, I can't sit down and just watch tv; I have to watch tv and knit.

Only a few days after signing veteran right-hander Russ Springer to a one-year deal, the Oakland A's added another reinforcement to their big league bullpen with the acquisition of right-hander Michael Wuertz from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for outfielder Richie Robnett and infielder Justin Sellers.
Wuertz spent most of last season with the Chicago Cubs, posting a 3.63 ERA in 45 appearances. He also spent a few months in Triple-A, where he had a 3.60 ERA in 17 outings. Wuertz has a 3.57 ERA in 262.1 career major league innings. The 30-year-old right-hander was an 11th round pick of the Cubs in 1997.
Wuertz has 270 strike-outs in 262.1 major league innings. He uses a sharp, late-breaking slider as his out-pitch. Wuertz joins Springer as the only projected A's reliever with more than a year of major league service time.
Robnett goes to Chicago after a disappointing tenure with the A's. The 2004 first-round pick has always teased scouts with his batting practice power, as he often clubs balls way out of the ballpark during BP. However, he struggled throughout his time with the A's to make consistent contact. In 1732 at-bats, he has struck-out 506 times. His career-high in homeruns came in 2005, when he hit 20 for High-A Stockton.
Last season was Robnett's poorest as a pro. He missed much of the first part of the season after undergoing surgery on his stomach and managed only a .236 average and three homeruns in 58 games with Triple-A Sacramento before being demoted to Double-A, where he hit .259 with one homer in 23 games. Robnett was added to the A's 40-man roster before last season.
Sellers had been making steady progress up the A's chain since being selected out of a Southern California high school in 2005. He spent the 2006 season in Kane County, the 2007 campaign with Stockton and the 2008 season with Midland. Sellers is only a .256 career hitter, but the 22-year-old has a career OBP of .343 and is considered an above-average defensive player both at second base and at shortstop.
Sellers may be the type of player who thrives outside of the A's organization. At only 5'10'', he isn't likely to hit for much power, but he can handle the bat well and has good speed. He stole only 48 bases in four seasons with Oakland, but he could produce much higher stolen base totals in an organization that runs more. He profiles as a utility infielder in the big leagues.

The BCCI also decided to conduct a preliminary inquiry into the incident by Ravi Sawani, former chief of the ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit
New Delhi: Five uncapped Indian players on Tuesday were suspended with immediate effect pending completion of an inquiry as a rattled Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) cracked the whip on tainted cricketers in the wake of a television sting operation which claimed to have exposed corruption in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL), reports PTI.
BCCI, headquartered at Mumbai, is the national governing body for all cricket in India. The strong action to suspend Mohnish Mishra, Shalabh Srivastava, TP Sudhindra, Amit Yadav and Abhinav Bali was taken after a lengthy tele-conference of top BCCI officials and members of the IPL's Governing Council.
The BCCI decided to conduct a preliminary inquiry into the incident by Ravi Sawani, former chief of the ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit who is now heading the BCCI's newly set-up Anti-Corruption Unit.
"The IPL Governing Council met on teleconference today at 2:30pm and they recommended to the BCCI President for strict action against those players who were found guilty and found suspicious on the television footage shown on India TV," IPL Chairman Rajiv Shukla told reporters.
"Since it also involved matter relating to other matches and previous IPL, it was referred to the President. The president after due consideration has decided to have a preliminary inquiry for which a commissioner has been appointed. Mr Sawani who was the ICC ACSU chief and now advisor will conduct the inquiry and he will submit a report to the Disciplinary Committee," he said.
"Pending inquiry the five players have been suspended from all cricket activities with immediate effect. We will await the report of the preliminary inquiry and proper action will be taken only after that," he added.
Television channel India TV yesterday claimed to have blown the lid off "murky deals" in the IPL among players, organisers, owners and big guns of Indian cricket.
That some tough measures would be taken against the players was evident when the BCCI president N Srinivasan, who is currently at Kodaikanal, made it clear that no player would be spared if found guilty.
He admitted that he was surprised by the sting operation and reiterated the BCCI's zero tolerance towards corruption in cricket.
"We will not tolerate this nonsense. We have zero tolerance on corruption and you will not be disappointed by the action we take," he said.
"Some evidence have been found against some players," he added.
The TV sting operation which was aired at prime time yesterday created a flutter in the Indian cricket establishment prompting the BCCI to react quickly. It took less than 24 hours for the cricket body to take action against the players.
The channel had claimed it had done a sting operation in which many players confessed on hidden camera they get much more than their prescribed auction under the table.
According to the channel, its operation also revealed that spot-fixing is not only prevalent in IPL but also that first class matches are fixed and women played an important role in match-fixing.
The IPL's Governing Council had sought video footage from the TV channel and is understood to have scrutinised the tapes before taking the decision of suspending the players.
Despite orders from SEBI in the past, the MPS group company continued to collect money and publish ads in local newspapers
Capital market watchdog, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has asked controversial MPS Greenery Developers to deposit Rs1,169 crore in an escrow account of nationalized bank. SEBI also barred MPS Greenery from entering the capital market for violating the regulator's provision by collecting money under Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) without proper registration. The amount has to be deposited within 15 days of the order.
MPS is among many companies which had come under the regulator's scanner for accepting deposits under CIS. Earlier Moneylife had reported on how several dubious conglomerates are flourishing in West Bengal and Tripura, thanks to a combination of financial illiteracy and political protection, irrespective of the political parties in power. (Will Rose Valley's clones, flourishing with CPM's help, come under the lens now?)
SEBI in its order, dated 11th May, said that, "…MPS Greenery Developers Ltd to deposit with a nationalized bank in an interest bearing Escrow Account, an amount of Rs1,169.39 crore, which it has raised through its collective investment schemes, without obtaining certificate of Registration and in contravention of the conditions imposed by Securities and Exchange Board of India while granting provisional registration…"
MPS Greenery Developers, the flagship company of the MPS group, is based in Jhargram (West Bengal), and deals in agro-products and food processing. In 2000, it had applied for registration under SEBI's Collective Investment Schemes Regulations, 1999. However, in 2002, the regulator rejected MPS's application and ordered it to repay the deposits it had collected from the public after noticing that it raised the money in violation of SEBI circular (dated 24 February 1998) and Delhi High Court's order (dated 7 October 1998) which made it mandatory for all plantation companies to comply with the circular. It had also ordered the company to wind up its scheme.
Further, the company challenged the SEBI's decision in Calcutta High Court. According to the SEBI order, in June 2009, the High Court disposed off MPS's petition but asked SEBI to "reconsider the matter and revisit the issue as to whether the registration as sought by the petitioner company can be granted." However the court also, according to SEBI order, did not remove the restrictions imposed on the company by the SEBI.
In August 2009, SEBI granted MPS a provisional registration as a Collective Investment Management company in accordance with its CIS Regulations, 1999 with certain conditions. This included restrictions on launching any new scheme or on raising fresh money from the investors; even under the existing schemes, unless a certificate of registration is granted to them by SEBI. This provisional registration expired on 20 August 2011.
However, a press note from SEBI says that, "MPS not only failed to fulfil the conditions of Provisional Registration, it also raised money from the public in violation of the conditions of provisional registration and it appears to be still mobilizing money from public. As per information provided by ICRA Limited, the total outstanding balance of funds with the company stood at around Rs1,169.39 crore as on 25 January 2011. Moreover, MPS had issued a newspaper advertorial which wrongly stated that the company is allowed to carry out Collective Investment Scheme activities."
Interestingly, according to the details of the advertorial (published on 30 March 2012 in Kolkata's edition of Business Standard) given in the SEBI order, the company claimed to have 14 lakh of investors, 1.25 lakh marketing members, 4 thousand direct and indirect labourers and more than 6 thousand workers and officers associated with MPS Group. It also said that it was looking to investment Rs30,000 crore in a project, 80% of which will be raised through collective investment schemes.
Apart from ordering the company to return the deposits, SEBI has also directed MPS not to collect any money from investors or to launch any scheme.
The Nifty may strengthen if it manages making higher lows and closes above today's high
All the Asian indices opened lower on the back of increasing concern over a Greek exit from the euro zone, despite the region's finance leaders declaring they weren't considering that possibility. Sensex and the Nifty opened lower but immediately entered into the positive region and stayed there for most of the trading session today. In our Monday's closing report we had mentioned that the Nifty next support lies at 4,860. We had also mentioned that if the benchmark manages to close above the previous day's high, we may see a possible change in direction. Today the index almost hit this level of support in the initial minutes. From here if the index manages to sustain above today's low and manages to close above today's high, we may see a bounce back. The National Stock Exchange saw a volume lower of 59.45 crore shares
The Sensex opened at 16,147 and the Nifty opened at 4,870. Soon they hit their respective intra days lows at 16,123 and 4,869. The indices hit a high closer to the yesterday high at 16,370 and 4,955 in the noon session. After five days of sequential fall the indices saw a positive closing. The Sensex rose 112 (0.69%) points to close at 16,328 while the Nifty closed 35 points higher (0.71%) to close at 4,943. The advance-decline ratio on the NSE was negative at 870:765.
Among the broader markets, the BSE Mid-cap index rose 0.63% and the BSE Small-cap index rose 0.33%. The top sectoral gainers were BSE Capital Goods (up 3.07%); BSE Metal (up 2.21%); BSE IT (up 1.56%); BSE TecK (up 1.09%); BSE Healthcare (up 0.97%). The lone loser was BSE Fast Moving Consumer Goods (down 0.64%)
Larsen & Toubro (up 5.41%); Sun Pharma (up 3.20%); Sterlite Industries (up 3.16%); Infosys (up 3.13%) and Hero MotoCorp (up 2.65%) were the key gainers on the Sensex. The major losers among the Sensex 30 stocks were NTPC ( fell 2.94%); Maruti Suzuki (fell 2.57%); ITC (fell 1.35%); Bharti Airtel (fell 1.28%) and GAIL (fell 1.27%)
The Nifty was led by Sesa Goa (up 5.19%); Larsen & Toubro (up 5.18%); Cairn India (up 3.94%); Sun Pharma (up 3.64%) and Sterlite Industries (up 2.96%). The top laggards were NTPC (fell 3.02%); Maruti Suzuki (fell 2.89%); IDFC (fell 1.98%); ITC (fell 1.60%); ONGC (fell 1.17%)
In the international news, the Greek President Karolos Papoulias late Monday proposed a technocrat government but that plan drew weak support from bickering parties, according to reports, as global discussion about the country's removal from the currency bloc mounted. Meanwhile, euro zone finance ministers reportedly dismissed talk of Greece leaving the euro zone as "propaganda and nonsense" on Monday, and signalled that they might be prepared to soften some of the targets of its bailout program.
After the European market opened, the domestic indices went to hit their respective intra-day highs. Most European indices were trading in the green with the German gross domestic product figures came in significantly better than expected. The data showed that Germany's economy grew much more than expected in the first quarter, driven by a surge in net exports. GDP rose by 0.5% from the fourth quarter of last year, and was up 1.2% from the corresponding period last year. At the time of writing the most of the American stock futures were pointing to a sharply higher open.

The firm would not confirm how much longer the consultation has to run but said: "we are of course meeting all of the statutory employment law requirements".
The statutory consultation period for between 20 to 99 redundancies within a 90-day period is 30 days before any dismissals take effect. However it is unclear exactly how many jobs Keoghs is looking to cut.
In a statement the firm attributed the decision to consolidate its low-value fraud work in the north-west to the Jackson reforms, which came into force in April 2013.
A spokesperson said: "The post-reforms market environment has yet to stabilise, but it is clear that insurers' ongoing counter-fraud requirements are going to be significantly different to what they were 12 to 18 months ago. It is regrettable that we have to lose colleagues from our business."
The statement went on to say that following the restructure the firm would still have around 248 people in its counter-fraud services division.
The firm also claims to be recruiting 51 roles across its business, there are currently eight vacancies advertised on the firm's website. A spokesperson said that those are the latest to be added and that "others from previous months which have yet to reach their deadlines".
Keoghs was appointed to the Allianz claims legal panel for England and Wales alongside DAC Beachcroft, Berrymans Lace Mawer and DWF earlier this month (14 January 2014).

Let me know and I'll try to help move it. I would be available weekends or evenings, but would need advanced notice. Which campus? I'd assume Bush. It's been a few years, but I could probably still find my way around down there.
Any other Rutgers Alums (students or teachers) on the list? I graduated in 1993 (EE).

Rina (JP:りな KR:리나)
Rina (JP:りな KR:리나) Rina, born in Inch'on, S.Korea, was forcefully sent to Japan to study at age 3. There, she got abused by her new parents. She nearly got killed during her attempt to escape to safety at age 7. Badly beaten, she eventually fell into depression when she was bullied in school since she was so small. At age 13, she fell in love with the flute and this sparked her music career. By age 15, with the help of joohyunmusic, she will debut as a singer.

|Progress report:
Getting Korean voice banks, joohyunmusic focuses on Rina's emotional expression.
Word from joohyunmusic The reason why Rina's charabio is so realistic is becuase UTAUloids should at least be treated like a person. The reason why she sing is because she wants to make everybody happy. The model number is only for me to organize her songs and voicebanks easily. Do not criticize me!!
Okamene Haru (阿亀音はる)
Okamene Haru (阿亀音はる) is the newest UTAU by muuugi (YT user Fukamikami). He is currently in development as a powerful "shota" voicebank. He has a pet Cockatiel named Yuki (幸), who will have a voicebank as well, but will only have the "a" sound, which would be a whistling noise similar to that of the Cockatiel. His voicebank will be a dipitch 7-mora VCV voicebank, recorded at F4 and A3. He will have extra sounds included in a seperate file, including screams, and possible english phonemes as well.

8/08/2014: I recently (quite a few months ago) got Windows 7, and I haven't gotten around to reinstalling UTAU. Also, the old recordings for her were kinda crap (and I don't have them anymore) so I'll have to re-record her too.
17/08/2014: Recorded "a" samples, haven't tested them within the program yet (or even separated them into individual .wav files)
A/N: This is my first UTAUloid, well, ever. I hope that you like her when I release her (ugh, if I ever release her, more like. I'm waaay too busy these days, to be honest).

|Progress report:
August 10th, 2014
Japanese CV voicebank is mostly finished, most likely needing a rerecording to meet progression of understanding. A VCV voicebank will be attempted after completion. At this point it is unknown whether SHIRO will be released until a higher quality microphone is bought. Currently fleshing out character personality details.
August 30th, 2014
Starting to close in on a final design. Digital media is unavailable, so concept art will not be made. Lots of changes are occurring, but no progress for the voicebank. Reason being is that the owner's microphone is broken, and will need to buy a new one. Delayed until further notice.

A division is a large military unit in modern armies, ranging in size from a few thousand to maybe fifteen thousand. A Vektan ISA Division numbers roughly five and a half thousand troops, at least by the time of the Invasion of Helghan. This may be due to casualties during the war, transportation issues or a standard unit size.
Known UnitsEdit
- ISA 6th Marine Division
Rough 5500 troops per division was established by Battle Group Mandrake transporting 11 divisions in 12 ships. Each ship carries 5000 troops and another 2500 crew/support personnel. Rough estimate established by: 12 x 5000 = 60000 / 11 = 5455.[[Category:ISA].

Bulguksa (불국사)
Earlier this year, I worked in my company's publishing department editing a Korean history book. While a lot of the information blended together because of the extensive detail and use of Korean names, I did learn a little about the Silla Kingdom and its grand history. Among many things, Silla is credited for creating the first unified Korea by conquering the two kingdoms of Baekje (백제) and Goguryeo (고구려). The Silla, an ancient kingdom of Korea, once called the city of Gyeongju its capital, which is partly the reason I wanted to visit.
Outside the Gyeongju Express Bus Terminal, Chris and I rented a scooter for 25,000 won for three hours. After we picked up a handy map of Gyeongju in English from the tourist center outside the bus terminal, we hopped on our scooter and hit the road.
Not too long later, we arrived at our destination: a famous temple. Bulguksa (불국사) is the main site to see in Gyeongju. The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the biggest temples in Korea. The structure standing today has gone through dozens of renovations, but it was incredible to think that Koreans were on this sacred land more than 1,400 years ago building this very temple.
We skipped seeing the Seokguram Grotto (석굴암) because the weather started to turn on us (check out my sweet rain poncho!). We hopped back on the scooter and headed out to see a sex museum; however, the steep admission of 10,000 won each scared us away.
On our ride back to the bus terminal, I spotted a line of luxury cars parked casually in a coffee shop's parking lot. We stopped to take a peak (and a handful of photos). To no surprise, we weren't the only ones enjoying the view.
Getting to Gyeongju: I took a 50-minute bus ride from Dongdaegu bus terminal. The cost is no more than 4,300 won ($5) each way.
Kids say the darnest things
To the students who made my year
My last day of teaching was bittersweet. I was excited for S.E. Asia trip coming up, but sad to leave my students, knowing that I'd likely never see them again.
One student, Chan Ho, was getting so excited to tell me something that he began to stutter. He couldn't think of the English. Then finally he stops and says in a very serious tone, "Sarah Teacher, you are the Best English Teacher." he pauses for dramatic effect, "Of..My…Life." "Thank you, Chan Ho."

Vatos Urban Tacos
A Seoul must-stop: Vatos Urban Tacos.
The atmosphere is vibrant and the place is always buzzing with Koreans and foreigners. The margaritas are big in size while the tacos are big in flavor. My personal favorite are the Kimchi Fries.
Smothered in braised pork carnitas, killer kimchi, cheese, cilantro and onion and sour cream, doused in their own hot sauce, the Kimchi fries are mouth-watering good.
Whether you're there to chow down on some gourmet tacos, topped with spicy chipotle and seasoned goodness, or just there to drink, Vatos Tacos is the place to be.

Cawker City is home to the largest ball of twine and only 469 people, according to the 2010 Census. The ball measures more than 40 feet in circumference and weighs more than 14,000 pounds.
Hello 2015.
In October 2013, I moved to Daegu, South Korea and started what would be a yearlong journey of teaching English Monday through Friday and traveling every weekend. I met a man in May and quickly fell in love as we explored Korea together. When my contract ended in October 2014, I set out alone for two months traveling through four S.E. Asian countries.
Once I returned to the U.S., I embarked on a two-week road trip through America with Chris, the man I fell for in South Korea. Now, I am packing up my belongings at my parent's house in Kansas and preparing to move to Georgetown, Texas, a town outside of Austin.
Collecting your pension
One thing I did not mention in my first two posts about applying for a job in Korea is that my job includes a pension plan. The pension is on top of the salary, severance pay, round-trip airfare, health insurance and furnished apartment. Not bad, eh?
The pension is called a lump-sum pension refund. If you qualify, a small amount of money is taken out of your paycheck each month and matched by your employer. Unfortunately, my British and Kiwi coworkers pay into the pension yet do not qualify to receive the pension at the end of their contracts, yet Americans and Canadians can expect to receive their lump-sum pension refund four to five weeks after ending their contract.
My pension is meant to be around 1.6 million won (or $1,550)** after working in Korea for 12 months. For me, the best part about this money is that it was an added "savings" account for me. While in Korea I was able to save about 59% of my paycheck, this is added savings that I did not have to account for.
Collecting your lump-sum pension refund in Daegu is easy. The woman in the office in Daegu speaks English. Some male foreign teachers have tried to snag her number; she is good looking, too. I recommend visiting the office four weeks before you fly out of Korea to give you time in case you're missing documents.
It is an easy trip to the National Pension Service Office.
Be sure to bring:
- Passport (original)
- Alien Registration Card
- Flight ticket (should be within one month of departure date)
- If you want your money transferred into your KEB account, bring your KEB bank account passbook
- If you want the money transferred into your home country's bank account, bring the following information: bank's address, phone number, account number, routing number, and a copy of a bank statement.
Where's the National Pension office in Daegu?
Beomeo Station (범어역), on the green line. The LIG building is between exit 1 and 4. It is a huge building, you cannot miss it. The office is on the 11th floor.
If you want to be lazy and take a taxi (you are about to get 1.5 million won, so you can afford to splurge) Tell the taxi: 범어역 출구 1번으로 가주세요 – (Boh-Moh-Yuck-Chool-Goo-Eel-Bohn-Euh-Roh-Gah-Choo-Say-Yoh)
