PORTSMOUTH — The Seacoast Mavericks, a member of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League, have announced that David Adam has been selected as the Manager of the 2013 Seacoast Mavericks Collegiate Baseball Team.
"There are few people with the resume that David has, who have the ability to understand the steps necessary to make it to the next level," said Dave Hoyt, principal owner and founder of the Mavs. "The 54-game season is the closest experience to the professional schedule that many of these players have seen. Having been through the emotions, the ego checks, the long bus rides, and many of the ups and downs of being a professional ball player, David will be able to guide our team and steer them towards professionalism both on and off the diamond."
Drafted in the 17th round by the Seattle Mariners in the 1990 MLB Draft, Adam remained with the Mariners organization until 1996 when he then pitched for the Rimini Pirates of the Italian League, finishing with a 9-2 record. Adam joined the Tampa Bay Devil Rays organization in 1997 where he pitched AA and AAA baseball. He then pitched for the Mexico City Tigres, finishing with a 13-5 record and the Mexican Championship. Adam ended his playing career as a closer with the Bridgeport Bluefish, leading the Atlantic League in saves on his way to winning the Atlantic League Championship in 1999.
After retiring from professional baseball, Adam dedicated his efforts to player development through instruction, coaching, and scouting. While an associate scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Adam was pitching coach for Oyster River High School, head coach for the Hesser College baseball program, and in 2003 led the Rye, N.H. Little League All-Star team to the state championship and a place in the Little League Regionals in Bristol, Conn. Adam continued to coach the Rye Little League All-Star team through 2005.
In 2004, Adam founded the Newington Coyotes of the Seacoast Fall Baseball League while serving as the league's president. A fall ball organization for high school players in New Hampshire and Southern Maine, SFBL provides off-season training as well as a comprehensive competitive game schedule. Adam continues to serve as owner and general manager of the league.
Most recently serving as a pitching coach for the UNH Wildcats from 2007-2009 and head coach at Newmarket High School for seven years beginning in 2004, where he twice led the team to the N.H. state finals (earning Foster's Daily Democrat's Coach of the Year in both 2006 and 2008).
"The talent on the 2013 Seacoast Mavericks collegiate team is extraordinary," Adam said. "When the opportunity presented itself, I knew it was the right choice to step up to this level. I know what it's like to be a 19- or 20-year-old player that has the world of baseball ahead. I think given my past experience, it will be a great summer at Leary Field in Portsmouth and my team will be far better off in August as players and as men than they were in the spring."

SHENZHEN, China -- Ian Poulter still had something to prove this year even after sparking Europe's improbable come-from-behind Ryder Cup victory.
He wanted to take home a stroke-play title -- badly.
The $7 million HSBC Championship is the final World Golf Championship of the season, and the only one held outside the United States.
And Poulter got his wish Sunday after he shot a 7-under 65 to rally from four strokes back to win the WGC-HSBC Champions at Mission Hills by two shots.
It was the Englishman's second World Golf Championship victory -- he also captured the Accenture Match Play Championship in 2010 -- and his first title of any kind since the Volvo World Match Play Championship in May 2011.
Phil Mickelson (68), Jason Dufner (64), Scott Piercy (65) and Ernie Els (67) finished in a tie for second at 19-under 269.
Lee Westwood and Louis Oosthuizen, the co-leaders overnight, slumped to equal sixth after struggling on the greens and posting identical scores of 72.
Poulter was the star of the European squad at the Ryder Cup this year, making five straight birdies alongside Rory McIlroy to rally the pair past Dufner and Zach Johnson and give the Europeans the point they needed to keep their hopes alive heading into singles play on the final day. The Europeans then came back from a 10-6 deficit to beat the Americans 14 1/2 to 13 1/2.
Poulter had four wins in four matches at Medinah and improved his career Ryder Cup record to 12-3 -- the highest winning percentage of any European golfer in history.
But he was winless on the PGA Tour and European Tour this year before Mission Hills.
"I've only been one season without a victory and I certainly didn't want to go another one," the 36-year-old said. "As well as I've played this year, it would have been a disappointment personally to have gone that year without winning."
On a day when five different players topped the leaderboard -- and several others were close -- it was the charismatic Poulter who was the steadiest.
Starting the day four shots back in a share of fourth place, the Englishman surged into the lead after birdying four holes on the front nine and then two more after the turn.
Mickelson and Els tried to stay close, but both wasted opportunities to pull even. Mickelson bogeyed the 12th after missing a 5-footer by an inch, while Els bogeyed the 14th after lipping out a 3-footer and narrowly missed a birdie putt on No. 18.
"I know where I came up short," Els said. "But other than that, I played it really nice and struck it nice. Almost made him think there on 18, that putt almost went in."
Defending champion Martin Kaymer looked set to make a final-day comeback for the second straight year, too. Last year, the German birdied nine of his last 12 holes to rally from five shots down in the final round for an unlikely three-stroke victory.
There would be no repeat this year. Starting six shots back, he had five birdies in six holes on the back nine before a disastrous triple bogey on the 17th foiled his chances.
He ended up in ninth place, one stroke behind Australian Adam Scott.
Poulter, meanwhile, calmly sank a 5-foot putt on the 14th hole for birdie and a two-stroke lead. Then, after setting himself up with a difficult 20-foot putt on the tricky 15th hole, he lined up the shot perfectly and dropped it in for birdie.
He was so composed, in fact, he didn't even mind the cameras and mobile phones in the gallery. He's even tried some Chinese to quiet the crowd this week.
"I'm not sure what I'm saying. I'm trying to say `no telephones,'" he said with a laugh. "I backed away a number of times but I was able to refocus knowing that there's probably going to be a few photos taken during the swing."
With Mickelson still in position to catch him, Poulter made a difficult chip shot from the bunker on the 18th and sank a 10-foot putt to seal the victory.
"I saw what he was doing. I was aware," Mickelson said. "So I tried to carve a few shots in to some of the pins and wasn't able to get close enough to them to make birdies to catch him."
It was another Englishman who started the day atop the leaderboard, playing the best golf of anyone in the field. Westwood had putted brilliantly on Saturday, making 11 birdies to shoot a 61 -- one of the lowest rounds of his career.
He jumped out to a three-stroke advantage Sunday after making two quick birdies on the front nine. But that's when his putting began to break down.
On the par-3 No. 5, he three-putted for a double bogey. He then missed putts within 10 feet on three consecutive holes before completely unraveling on the back nine with three bogeys, including one on the 15th when he hit a chip shot into a group of photographers.
Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champion, was also never able to regain the form that saw him reach 16 under after two rounds -- the lowest 36-hole score in a World Championship Golf event since they began in 1999.
He struggled with his putting for a second consecutive day and had four bogeys.
With the $1.2 million winner's paycheck, Poulter moves up to fourth spot in the European Tour's Race to Dubai. The money will also come in handy considering he just treated himself to a new car.
"I've already spent the check last week," he said. "Yes, it was a vehicle and yes, it was very expensive."

AL Capsules
OAKLAND, California (AP) — Coco Crisp and Stephen Vogt homered and A.J. Griffin struck out seven in seven innings as the Oakland Athletics completed a three-game sweep of fellow playoff contender Tampa Bay with a 5-1 victory Sunday.
After Crisp led off the bottom of the first with a home run, James Loney tied it with his own longball in the top of the second. Griffin (12-9) settled in after that to win his second straight outing following a four-start winless stretch.
Griffin allowed one run on five hits and walked one.
Alex Torres (4-1) — the first of six Rays relievers — pitched 3 1-3 innings of relief, giving up a go-ahead RBI single to Brandon Moss in the third.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Kevin Correia pitched seven strong innings as the Twins clinched their first series victory at Texas in four years, beating the AL West-leading Rangers.
Correia (9-10) allowed one run and scattered five hits. The right-hander struck out two and got 14 outs on the ground, including a pair of double plays.
Rangers starter Travis Blackley (2-2) was gone after giving up three consecutive run-scoring hits with one out in the fifth.
Mitch Moreland and A.J. Pierzynski homered for the Rangers, who had finished August with an AL-best 20-7 record.
NEW YORK (AP) — J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones hit three-run homers in the seventh inning as the Orioles suddenly broke loose, jolting the Yankees to avert a sweep in a matchup of wild-card contenders.
Shut out on three singles Saturday, the Orioles were blanked by Andy Pettitte for six innings before their seven-run rally against the 41-year-old lefty and a faltering bullpen.
Michael Morse lined a leadoff single against Pettitte to begin the comeback from a 3-0 deficit. Acquired from Seattle on Friday, he got two hits in his Baltimore debut.
Hardy's shot against Shawn Kelley (4-2) glanced off the glove of right fielder Curtis Granderson and put the Orioles ahead 4-3.
Rookie Kevin Gausman (2-3) pitched two scoreless innings after starter Wei-Yin Chen walked a career-high five.
DETROIT (AP) — Mike Aviles hit a grand slam in the ninth inning that lifted Cleveland to a win over the Tigers.
The AL Central leaders had won seven straight against second-place Cleveland.
Joe Smith (6-2) got the win after giving up one hit and a walk in the eighth, keeping the Tigers scoreless after Danny Salazar's strong start.
Joaquin Benoit (4-1) gave up Aviles' slam after intentionally walking Jason Kubel to load the bases.
Detroit rested banged-up star Miguel Cabrera for a second straight game.
TORONTO (AP) — James Shields pitched seven innings of three-hit ball to win his fourth straight decision and Eric Hosmer drove in two runs as the Royals beat the Blue Jays to avoid a three-game sweep.
The Royals won for the sixth time in eight games. They are 5½ games behind Tampa Bay in the AL wild-card race.
Former Blue Jays infielder Emilio Bonifacio had two hits, scored twice and stole two bases for the Royals. Shields (10-8) improved to 4-0 with a 1.53 ERA in his past five starts. The right-hander walked one and matched a season-high with nine strikeouts.
Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ (3-5) lost his third straight start, allowing five runs, three earned, and six hits in four innings.
BOSTON (AP) — David Ortiz continued to rebound from a miserable stretch with two hits and three RBIs, leading the Red Sox to a win over the White Sox that completed a three-game sweep.
Stephen Drew added a solo homer for the AL East-leading Red Sox, who won for the seventh time in eight games.
Ortiz is 5 for 9 with six RBIs since going hitless in his previous 23 at-bats.
Brandon Workman (4-2) got four outs for the victory after starter Felix Doubront couldn't make it out of the fourth inning.
Tyler Flowers had a solo homer and Conor Gillaspie drove in two runs for the White Sox.
Boston had opened a 5-0 lead after three innings against starter Andre Rienzo (1-1).
HOUSTON (AP) — Rookie Brett Oberholtzer pitched a four-hitter and Jason Castro hit an RBI double in the eighth inning, lifting the Astros to a win over Seattle.
The 24-year-old Oberholtzer (4-1) struck out five and walked one. He did not allow an extra-base hit in his sixth career start and ninth appearance to lower his ERA to 2.79.
Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma scattered six hits and struck out seven. It was the third time in four starts that he'd pitched seven innings.
Charlie Furbush (2-5) took over for Iwakuma in the eighth and Jose Altuve greeted him with a double that rolled into the corner of right field. Castro followed with a ground-rule double to give Houston the lead.

George Washington nearly rallies from 17 down, falls short in 59-56 loss to No. 14 Butler
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
WASHINGTON – Looking for a statement win, George Washington had to settle for a rather noticeable scare.
The rebuilding Colonials rallied from 17 points down in the second half Saturday and nearly pulled off their biggest win in many years, losing 59-56 to No. 14 Butler.
"We still want to get the 'W.' It still is a blow to us," said Joe McDonald, who had the ball stripped as he went up for a potential tying 3-pointer just before the buzzer. "It showed that if we play hard from the get-go rather than when we get down 17, we can win. We can compete."
Starting four true freshmen in coach Mike Lonergan's second year at the school, the Colonials (11-11, 5-4 Atlantic 10) had a sellout crowd at the Smith Center for the first time since 2006. They were looking to beat a ranked team at home for the first time since 1998.
Butler is a popular target these days. The Bulldogs (20-4, 7-2) are making their inaugural tour of unfamiliar hostile environments in the school's first Atlantic 10 season.
"Five straight places that have been absolutely jumping," Butler coach Brad Stevens said. "You have to find a way to be tough. You have to find a way to stay together. Nothing builds team like that kind of environment. I really like it."
Butler led 48-31 with 12 minutes to play, but the Colonials' full-court press and Roosevelt Jones' poor free throw shooting — he entered the game shooting 59.1 percent and went 2 for 9 from the line, all in the second half — helped get the Colonials back into the game and set up a frenetic finish.
After McDonald cut the lead to five with a free throw with 1:34 remaining, Jones was fouled and missed two more at the line. Lasan Kromah's tip-in then made it 57-54 with 52 seconds to play, and McDonald then made a steal in the backcourt and was fouled. He made both free throws, and it was 57-56 with 44 seconds left.
Kellen Dunham made two free throws with 24 seconds to go to restore Butler's three-point lead. With a chance to tie, McDonald missed a 3-pointer, and a held ball was called on the rebound with 9 seconds remaining. Possession went to Butler, but Jones was called for traveling along the baseline before throwing the ball inbounds.
Nemanja Mikic missed another 3 for the Colonials, and another held ball gave the ball back to George Washington. McDonald had the ball for one final shot, but lost the ball in a crowd as he left his feet.
"We just couldn't get that open 3," said Lonergan, whose team shot 1 for 12 from 3-point range.
Jones was wearing padding after he hurt his shoulder Wednesday against St. Bonaventure, but he said the injury didn't affect him. He finished with 12 points, and Rotnei Clark scored 14 to lead the Bulldogs (20-4, 7-2).
Isaiah Armwood had 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Colonials, who were hosting their highest ranked opponent since 2000. The Colonials shot 28 percent and were rattled early, prompting Lonergan to call in the veterans off his bench.
"There was definitely some nerves," the coach said.
George Washington trailed 31-22 at halftime, but foul trouble hurt Butler late. Erik Fromm got his fifth with 6:48 remaining, and Andrew Smith was gone with 4:52 to go.
Shortly afterward, the Colonials cut the deficit to single digits for the first time in the second half on Kromah's layup with 4:21 left.
But they couldn't finish the comeback.
"It hurts when you're so close," Lonergan said. "But it beats losing by 30."
One of the officials, Joe DeMayo, left the game late in the first half with a right Achilles injury. The teams finished the half with two officials, and a substitute joined the crew for the second half.

Verizon Wireless Reports Restoration Of Network Service, Continues Support Of Communities Recovering From Hurricane Sandy
MORRISTOWN, NJ — Over a week after Hurricane Sandy, and after Winter Storm Athena, the Verizon Wireless network continues to perform very well and is virtually back to normal. The company also continues to support relief operations across the hardest-hit areas.
The company's network held up during the overnight weather on Wednesday and suffered no setbacks in progress toward complete restoration of network infrastructure affected by Sandy. Over 99.5% of network cell towers are back online.
Verizon Wireless also reported that all but three corporate retail locations in the storm-affected area are open for business.
In support of local residents who may still be without power or other telecommunications services, the company has staged eight mobile device charging stations in the NY/NJ/PA area and is offering free device charging and Internet access at all open retail locations. Several of the mobile device charging stations had to be moved in advance of Winter Storm Athena to protect the safety of employees and the community, and to ensure the stations remained operable and ready to redeploy after the storm. The company started re-deploying mobile charging stations on Thursday, the day after the storm. An updated listing of locations and services can be found here.
To support Hurricane Sandy relief efforts, Verizon Wireless customers and the Verizon Foundation have pledged more than $3.7 million to the American Red Cross and other organizations aiding in Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts. Customers can still make a $10 donation by texting REDCROSS to 90999, and those who would like to give more can donate up to $50 via text. In addition, Verizon employees have donated nearly $500,000 to the American Red Cross and Salvation Army to date through the Verizon Foundation's matching gifts program; the foundation will match those donations two-for-one.

How would you spend 2 trillion dollars? Here's how the federal government divided the budget in 2009:
News (Archive)
A few website updates.
04-24-2011, 05:30
We have been unable to receive emails from our Contact page for approximately a week. This issue has been fixed and we encourage you to submit again if you feel you have missed us.
A new FAQ has been posted, for what we feel is an important issue. The entire list can be found at this link. Here is the link to the new question:
- What change in budget percentage can be expected for each department in a given year?
The main page now includes a poll. We are looking forward to seeing your responses.
Lastly, our message board has been taken down. It will be removed for an indefinite period while we make some changes to how we receive comments from users. This may include the implementation of structures for open discussion of specific topics. Look for this in the coming months.
Contact page is fixed.

2012 Federal Budget Released.
02-19-2011, 00:00
It has been less than a week since the proposed 2012 Federal Budget [1] was released by the President. We would like to point out some key similarities and differences between our own proposal and the ideas generated by those in Washington.
The main point of agreement we have with Capitol Hill is that something quickly needs to be done to control spending and the growing deficit. The President, and those on both sides of the political line, are not short on urgency. Everyone is pushing for change and we are excited to see that debate is taking place.
However, it is our opinion that the proposed budget does not dig deep enough. Tackling only select areas - such as discretionary spending [3] - leaves us wanting. Here, all parts of the budget are up for discussion. The structure of Public Direction lists all federal departments and agencies equally, so that the public can decide how to distribute funds.
We are also adamant about not letting the government reach the point of a possible shutdown [2]. We suggest that yearly tax rates are set and collected by the government, while the distribution is decided by the people. We feel this process would be balanced and representative.
Further discussion about this topic is always welcome. Comment on our message board, shoot us an email, and check out our citations.

New FAQ and calculators.
12-23-2010, 23:00
Happy Festivus, everyone. We have been working hard over the past couple weeks and are now ready to present you with some new FAQ's. The whole list can be found at this link. Also, these links will send you to each individual question:
- Why are there so many departments that I need to rate?
- Is it easier to lose or gain funds? Is it different for large and small departments?
- The message '#DIV/0!' is displayed in various steps of the ratings calculator. What does this mean?
Our ratings calculators have also been updated. The changes address the error message which is noted in the question above.
The new spreadsheets mentioned in the previous news post will be coming in early January. Have an excellent holiday season! We will see you in the new year.
Updated calculators.
12-01-2010, 03:30
With the release of the Summary Tables FY2011 document, an updated list of official budget percentages is available. This government document can be found at this link.
The most accurate, available percentages are those from 2009 and our ratings calculators will continue to use those values. This update makes a change from the 2009 numbers listed in the Summary Tables FY2010 (which are listed as 'Estimate') to those listed in FY2011 (which are listed as 'Actual'). Our updated calculators may be found here.
We are currently working on several more FAQ's and additional spreadsheets. Both will be addressing the topic of expected budgetary change. We will have those on the website shortly.
Budget puzzle.
11-15-2010, 23:40
The New York Times has a different approach to the difficult budgetary choices that need to be made. Please note that while click-until-you-win is a viable strategy, the aim of the game is not to balance the budget, but to reduce the deficit to 3% of GDP.
One of us found only four palatable options and the other was ahead even before he was satisfied with the tax increases. Both of us were able to complete the exercise before descending into a heated argument. Or as we call it, Monday.

A reaction to the Commission report.
11-12-2010, 21:15
The Budget Deficit Reduction Commission has startled few with its suggestions to reduce spending and increase taxes. The usual mandatory spending suspects turn up, while a $1.4 trillion discretionary trim is also suggested. With no obvious benefit to any one group, many pundits, politicos and policymakers have pronounced it dead on arrival, perhaps in the hope the prognosis will stick. Many see themselves as defenders of services and constituents, with realistic reductions as opposed to a magic bullet as an encroachment on their domain, not to mention political suicide.
This inevitability led us to launch this website as a tool to gauge the needs and will of voters as a whole, and to find the most beneficial way to distribute a reduction or surplus. We've tried to de-politicize and eliminate bias from the budgeting process, as much as possible. Our ideas are explained further in The Proposal, or you can participate directly using the links at the right of the page.
Here are articles from PBS and Bloomberg to give a primer on the Budget Commission's proposal and the reaction it has generated.
We want to hear from you.
11-03-2010, 21:15
Readership of our site is growing but we are still not seeing involved participation. Send us an email. Let us know what is keeping you from submitting ratings or commenting on the message board.
What can we do to make Public Direction better? We want all of your thoughtful ideas.

Cioks 50cm - 2,1/5,5mm DC-plug, center positive
CIOKS offers a great selection of Flex cables for the power supplies. They are fitted with different plugs to match almost any pedal on the market. The most common are those with the 5,5/2,1mm centre negative DC-plug. This plug is used by the majority of effect pedal manufacturers ex. BOSS. Flex cables with this type of plug are avaliable in length of 15, 30, 50 and 80cm. The 3,5mm tip positive Jack-plug is also quite common and used by ex. DOD. Flex cables with the Jack-plug are available in 15, 30 or 50cm lengths.
Flex cables with 9V battery clip are made for those pedals which don't have a power supply input. Instead of applying a 9V battery into your pedal, you simply click the battery clip of the Flex cable together with the one inside the pedal. Flex cables with the battery clip are available in 30 or 50cm lengths.
The 5,5/2,1mm centre positive DC-plug is used quite rarely. To support musicians with such a need CIOKS has Flex cables in lengths 30 or 50cm with this type of plug. To avoid mistakes the plugs of this type of Flex are made in red colour.
For use with the new version of the Double Jack power supply to power the Line 6 modeling pedals you will need Flex cables with 5,5/2,5mm centre positive DC-plug. These are now available in length 30 and 50cm and their plugs are green.

"Today" show host Savannah Guthrie is engaged.
The TV anchor, who replaced Ann Curry on the show last summer, is set to marry media consultant Mike Feldman, 44, a former consultant to Al Gore. She announced the news on the NBC morning show Monday.
"We've been together four years, so, as he said, no one will accuse us of rushing into anything," Guthrie, 41, said on the air, adding that Feldman popped the question over the weekend.
"We adore each other," she added. "Our families have been in-laws for years ... they were just waiting for us to catch up!"
Her new fiancé also called in during the fourth hour to weigh in on the news.
"It's not bad being the luckiest guy in the world," Feldman said. He'd nervously proposed, down on one knee, while he and Guthrie were vacationing on the Caribbean island of Turks and Caicos. But apparently dropping down on one knee wasn't a clear enough indication to Savannah that he was proposing.
"It didn't dawn on me he was actually asking," Guthrie said on "Kathie Lee and Hoda." Watch the video below.
"He got on one knee and I still thought we were just talking," she added, thinking they were still discussing getting married. And then he gave her the box.
"I didn't open it for a long time," she said, "because I was just overcome."
Though they didn't catch on right away, her colleagues in Studio 1A were abuzz with excitement over her news.
"Big news from Savannah!" co-anchor Matt Lauer tweeted with a pic of Guthrie flashing her ring. Co-host Al Roker echoed the sentiment on Instagram.
"@savannahguthrie and her engagement ring. Congrats to her and fiancé Mike Feldman," Roker wrote, posting another pic of her with the massive sparkler. He also wanted to throw her wedding on the morning show.
"The Hangover Part III" star Bradley Cooper dropped by the show to bring her a dozen roses and ask her for her phone number.
As for the wedding date, Feldman said: "As soon as possible."
This will be the second marriage for Guthrie. She was previously married to BBC producer Mark Orchard. They divorced in 2009.

In Win Commander 850W Power Supply Review
Physically speaking, one power supply is very much like another these days, and it must be difficult for the manufacturers to make their products stand out from the crowd. Performance should be the deciding factor but it's now getting more and more difficult to separate the quality branded power supplies from each other on that basis alone. If power supply performance alone is not going to be the deciding factor, then manufacturers are now having to make their power supplies stand out in different ways. Does it matter how the power supply looks, because once installed into the average PC enclosure it may not be seen for years? There are cases available, the clear acrylic being a fine example, that enables the PC enthusiast to show off the technological wonders inside their latest build. This time around I am going to look at one of the latest offerings from In Win, the Commander 850W, and its slightly unusual themed apperance.
Closer Look:
Looks like an army ammunition box doesn't it! The military theme is certainly different. The packaging is covered with a camouflage design so be careful were you put it, you may never find it again. The lid shows the In Win logo along with wattage, which is written in what could be described as a packaging crate stencil and paint type font, along with 80 Plus and SLI certified icons. Turn the box over and there is a feature list along with a detailed specification table.
Side panels contain a small In Win logo and the camouflage design.
Both end panels once again carry the camouflage design and the In Win logo. There are small pictograms showing some of the power supply features on one panel and barcode and agency approvals on the other.
Lift the lid and the first thing visible is the black modular cable case, and underneath this a white draw string bag. The power chord and screws are contained in a black cardboard box, modular cables enclosed in a sealed plastic bag and the power supply encased in bubble wrap.
I'm not sure the bubble wrap is sufficient protection; one good impact on the box side will certainly reach the power supply. A good selection of accessories are included: a black modular cable storage bag, white draw string bag, instruction manual, four power supply mounting screws, cable ties, and power cord. You will notice there are only three cable ties. Come on In Win, you can better than that, let's have ten! I must congratulate In Win on being the first manufacturer to supply the correct UK power cord.
Not sure about the camouflage design, but it's different and I feel certain it will appeal to some people. The box contents are pretty good, but a few more cable ties would be nice. Let's have a closer look at the power supply.

Car Deals
Convertible Deals: August 2013
As summer winds down, demand for convertibles usually dries up. That means automakers usually increase convertible deals and incentives to keep sales going. We've listed the best August deals for shoppers looking to take advantage of these increased offers and incentives.
BMW 3 Series
The BMW 3 Series is a luxury 4-seater offered with an available folding hardtop. With the new 4 Series on its way, BMW is starting to offer increasingly enticing deals on the outgoing 2013 3 Series. In August, that includes 2.99-percent interest for up to 36 months on all 328i, 335i and 335is models. It also includes a 36-month lease deal starting at $429 per month for the 328i convertible. The only catch: That deal requires more than $4,100 down at lease signing. For shoppers who don't mind the initial down payment, it's definitely worth considering.
Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang is a rear-wheel-drive, 4-seat sports car with coupe or available soft-top convertible body styles. In August, it's offered with some of the best deals of any convertible. For qualified shoppers interested in financing, that means 0-percent interest for up to 60 months or 1.9 percent for 72 months plus up to $1,000 cash back on all 2013 models. For those looking to pay in full, Ford is offering a whopping $3,000 cash back -- a deal that's also available on all 2013 models, including the V6. Ford even has a few offers available on the 2014 Mustang, including 0.9 percent for 36 months and up to $2,000 cash back.
Mercedes SLK
The 2013 Mercedes SLK is a luxurious 2-seat roadster with a sporty flair. In August, it's available with two impressive lease deals: one for the base-level SLK250, and the other for the more powerful SLK350. Of course, the SLK250 is less expensive, with payments starting from $499 per month after $4,459 down at lease signing. Stepping up to the V6-powered SLK350 doesn't require much more down up-front -- less than $300 above the SLK250. But its monthly payments are around $120 more. That's the price of 300 horsepower and a sports-car, 0-to-60-mph time of around 5.5 seconds.
Nissan 370Z
The sporty Nissan 370Z is a rear-wheel-drive, 2-seat performance car. Through the end of August, shoppers interested in a 2013 370Z can get two strong incentives. For those looking to lease, Nissan is offering a 39-month term with payments from $449 per month after $2,999 down at lease signing. But there's an even better offer available this month for qualified drivers looking to finance the 370Z: 0-percent interest for a whopping 60 months. That offer also carries over to the coupe, for those interested in a more exciting driving experience.
Volkswagen Beetle
The retro-themed Volkswagen Beetle is a 2-door, 4-seater that's offered as a hatchback or soft-top convertible. Shoppers interested in a Beetle Convertible can take advantage of a good finance deal available this month on all Volkswagen models. That deal offers interest rates as low as 1.99 percent for up to 48 months -- and it's valid not only in August, but all of September as well.
Find a Volkswagen Beetle for sale
What it means to you: It's not too late to buy a drop-top -- especially considering the great convertible deals available this month on many top models.

Do you have a bad sleeper? The problem could be the wrong TV shows. A new study published in Pediatrics found that preschoolers who had too-violent or inappropriate media content replaced with TV and videos more geared toward their age experienced a decline in sleep problems.
Families with preschool-aged kids swapped in age-appropriate content over a 12-month period (they kept the amount of time watched the same), and found improvement in both nighttime sleep and daytime naps.
Plus: Great TV Shows for Preschoolers
So what exactly is age-appropriate content? For preschoolers, violent or adult-oriented shows are a clear no-no, but so are cartoons aimed at older kids, like SpongeBob SquarePants or Scooby Doo. "The fact that Bugs Bunny can be too violent for a 3-year-old is not something that always clicks with some families," Michelle Garrison of Seattle Children's Research Institute, lead author of the study, told USA Today. "Yes, they may know that (a preschooler) shouldn't watch the latest Transformers movie, but they may not necessarily make that same association with cartoons that have the more funny violence or the superhero violence, because some of the content is marketed toward preschool-age children."
Plus: How to Encourage Your Kids to Watch Less TV
Do you let your preschooler watch cartoons for older kids? If so, have you noticed any sleep problems? Leave a comment.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy grew a little faster at the end of 2010 than the government had previously estimated, boosted by more inventory building and business investment in plants and equipment.
But rising oil prices will likely limit growth this year.
The economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, grew at an annual rate of 3.1 percent in the October-December quarter, the Commerce Department reported Friday. That represents an upward revision from last month's 2.8 percent estimate for the same period.
The quarterly expansion was the best since the start of last year and was driven by 4 percent growth in consumer spending, the strongest gains in four years. Consumer spending is closely watched because it accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.
But many economists say a jump in oil prices has likely cut into that spending and slowed growth in the current January-March quarter.
"Higher oil prices are going to put a bit of a squeeze on consumers," said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS Global Insight.
There is also a concern that the Japanese crisis will disrupt factory production there. That could slow activity at some U.S. companies that rely on Japanese manufacturers for parts, especially in the U.S. auto and electronics industries.
The new uncertainty has led many economists to trim their growth estimates for the current quarter. There is a wide range of estimates, from 2.3 percent to 3.8 percent.
Economists say growth needs to average around 5 percent for a year just to lower the current 8.9 percent unemployment rate by 1 percentage point.
In the final three months, residential construction grew at an annual rate of 3.3 percent after plunging at a 27.3 percent rate in the July-September quarter. However, there is concern about the prospects for housing given recent weakness in home sales and construction.
Government spending was shrinking at a rate of 1.7 percent in the final three months of last year. State and local governments are struggling to get budget deficits under control.
Economic growth of 3.5 percent this year would still be the best performance since 2004. Last year, the economy grew 2.9 percent following a 2.6 percent drop in 2006. That had been the biggest decline in more than six decades.
Economy grows at 3.1 percent rate at end of 2010
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy grew a little faster at the end of 2010 than the government had previously estimated, boosted by more inventory building and business investment in plants and equipment.

The following recap was sent to Wrestleview.com.
Bruno Sammartino appeared on Inside The Ropes on Thursday night and he had a lot to say. Here are the highlights:
Memories of WrestleMania 1 – When McMahon contacted me after Vince Sr died, he asked me if I would come back saying he wanted to carry on his fathers tradition and who better to do that with than me because I'd been there for so many years. I agreed because he said I'd do broadcasting once every three weeks. Everything turned out to be not true. He did not keep in his father's tradition. He made changes that I personally didn't care for. I saw the disgusting steroid and drug use that bother me tremendously so things started going bad for me in that relationship. As for that WrestleMania, I had no idea how big it would be. I was there as a second, with my son on the ring. I was so unhappy at the time. I just wanted to get away from there. The changes in wrestling he didn't like – Not that we had girl wrestlers, they brought them in skimpy. The wrestling, they started getting more vulgar, the profanity, the language. Everything had changed. Triple H having sex with a corpse in a casket. You can imagine what that would do to someone like me who had been in the business 25 years and see this. To see Steve Austin, the champion, he had a can of beer in his hand and they had to bleep every word, there were little kids in the audience. It appalled me.
Thoughts on Hogan – People get fooled by publicity. Hogan wasn't a good champion at all. In 1985, Hogan had been champion for a year and a half. Vince asked me to put on the tights because the house was down. He would do a good house the first time, but if he came back the second, or dare the third time, he couldn't draw. He wasn't a great performer. It did not work. He would use him more for merchandise and pay per view events. He was not a good for a champion like previous people.
Incident with Ric Flair in 2004 backstage at a show – He's an idiot. A first class pathetic idiot. He wrote a book and said something that wasn't very complimentary about me, I haven't read it so I don't know. So I'm standing in the hallway at the show talking to 2, 3 people and my back was turned to him. When I turned round and he saw me, I started walking towards him to say hello and he turned away and ran. Later he told one of the Hebner brothers that he wanted to come say hello to me but I turned my back on him and ignored him. Which is a complete bold class lie. Why he's not in the Hall of Fame – I am in the Hall of Fame. The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame. Only wrestlers get inducted there. When you talk about McMahon's Hall of Fame, I absolutely wouldn't have any part of it because of my feelings for him and his company. Secondly, it's not a legitimate Hall of Fame. When you have kids and you wanna go see a building, there's nowhere to go. It's just a marketing campaign. Look who's in it, game show hosts, Drew Carey. A baseball player, football player. I'd be embarrassed to be in that Hall of Fame.
What he'd do if he was put in the Hall of Fame post-humously – I don't know the law….that's something an attorney would have to tell me. I don't know what the law is on that. That's a good question. I'm glad you asked me that because I'm going to ask my lawyer about that.

So there's a very good chance he is missing in Week 11 when we play the Colts. Hasselbeck to the rescue.

Andrew Luck out 2-6 weeks with lacerated kidney
By Gregg Rosenthal
Around The NFL Editor
Published: Nov. 10, 2015 at 03:05 p.m. Updated: Nov. 10, 2015 at 04:05 p.m.
Andrew Luck's roller coaster season has taken a turn for the worse.
The Indianapolis Colts announced Tuesday that Luck will miss 2-6 weeks with a lacerated kidney and a partial tear of an abdominal muscle. The team says the injuries will not require surgery and a full recovery is expected.
"It's way too early to guess how long Andrew will be out," said coach Chuck Pagano. "We're going to keep listening to the doctors and evaluating his progress on a week by week basis. We've got all the confidence in the world in Matt Hasselbeck and we're not going to put Andrew back out there until he's healed and ready to go."
The injury was suffered early in the fourth quarter against the Broncos, the team announced. Luck amazingly stayed in the game and helped the team finish off a victory.
The Colts have the relative luxury of a quality backup quarterback in Hasselbeck. He helped the team win two games and played very well when replacing Luck earlier in the season when Luck had a shoulder injury.
The timing is especially cruel. Luck is coming off his best performance of the season by far against the top-ranked Broncos defense. We believe the injury occurred on the first play of the fourth quarter, when Broncos linebacker Danny Travathan hits Luck hard in the midsection before defensive tackle Vance Walker crunches Luck from behind. Luck could be seen grimacing at times later in the quarter.
Indianapolis is 4-5, which is good enough for first place in the AFC South. Unless the Texans, Titans or Jaguars go on a run in November, Hasselbeck has a good chance to keep the Colts alive in the playoff race until Luck is healthy again. The Colts are in the middle of their bye week, and head to Atlanta in Week 11. They host the Buccaneers in Week 12. Both teams are struggling to rush the passer or stop opposing offenses, so Hasselbeck has a relatively soft landing back into the lineup.
For Luck, it's another significant setback in a season where many analysts expected him to make a jump to MVP level. Instead he's suffered the two biggest injuries of his career and mostly struggled on the field. Luck is under contract for 2016 after the Colts picked up the fifth-year option of his rookie contract.

watch Hasselbeck goes for 400+ yards and 3 TDs smh.
Re: Andrew Luck Out 2-6 Weeks with Lacerated Kidney
Hasselbeck is probably the best backup QB in the league and is probably better than up to 8 starters, so it's not like we're playing your typical backup QB.
But you're wrong. Hasselbeck will only have 389 yards and 2 touchdowns!

Sandoval homers as Giants edge Dodgers
Los Angeles, CA – Pablo Sandoval stroked a two-run homer and the San Francisco Giants took a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Wednesday's rubber match of a three-game set.
Hunter Pence added a solo homer and the Giants received an RBI from starting pitcher Tim Lincecum (1-0), who was effectively wild over five innings.
After a rough 2012 campaign, Lincecum was far from his former dominant self in his first start of the season, tying a career-high with seven walks. He only gave up three hits, though, and while he allowed two runs, neither were earned.
Sergio Romo locked down the save in the ninth and the defending World Series champs will have their home opener on Friday when they host the St. Louis Cardinals.
Josh Beckett (0-1) was charged with the loss after surrendering five runs -- three earned -- on six hits. Luis Cruz had a sacrifice fly as the Dodgers went just 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left 12 men on base.
The Dodgers took the early lead when Carl Crawford raced home from third on a pitch that got past catcher Hector Sanchez.
After Beckett got through the first two innings unscathed, the veteran right- hander was shelled for four runs in the third, and Sandoval's blast put the Giants on top 4-1.
"He threw me a fastball up, and I got around on it and just watched it go," said Sandoval. "It's a good sign when you start the season like this after you win a World Series."
San Francisco received its first run from Lincecum when the pitcher's RBI groundout tied the contest at 1-1. Brandon Crawford advanced to third on the play after reaching with a double and scored on a fielding error by Skip Schumaker to put the Giants in front.
The Dodgers got a run back in the fifth when Matt Kemp scored on Cruz's sacrifice fly, but Lincecum halted the damage from there, getting A.J. Ellis to fly out with runners on first and second to end the inning.
"Tim (Lincecum) wasn't sharp with his pitches, and we had our chances, but just couldn't get a big hit against him," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly.
Pence restored San Francisco's three-run edge in the top half of the sixth with a solo homer, making it 5-2.
Los Angeles had the bases loaded in the bottom half of the inning with no one out, but came away with just one-run on Kemp's double-play groundout.
The Dodgers then put a seventh inning leadoff double by Andre Ethier to waste, leaving him stranded at second with three straight fly outs. After producing just one hit in the eighth, the Dodgers went down 1-2-3 in the ninth.
Game Notes
Lincecum last walked seven on Sept. 7, 2012 against the Dodgers ... Los Angeles will host Pittsburgh for a three-game set on Friday .. Crawford had three hits for the Dodgers ... Angel Pagan had an RBI for San Francisco.

By Marc Livitz in Corpus Christi, TX: This afternoon in the quaint coastal city of Corpus Christi, Texas, there was no place like home. Particularly, home plate. The start and finish point of the great American pastime, as in a baseball diamond provided a most interesting locale for a weigh in. For now, matters remain to be seen in terms of how many swings until out once the bell rings. HBO's "Boxing After Dark" will showcase a televised tripleheader from the American Bank Center tomorrow night.
Multiple titles are on the line in addition to a long awaited grudge rematch finally taking place. The main event features up and coming star Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia in a scheduled 12 round contest for Roman "Rocky" Martinez's WBO Super Featherweight title.

Florida again brimming with talent
Rivals.com's Florida Preseason Top 100 for 2013 reveals, not surprisingly, that the state is as usual burgeoning with talent.
At the top of the list is Lake City (Fla.) Columbia five-star offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil. Tunsil, who is the top offensive tackle in the nation and ranked No. 7 overall in the Rivals100, is an offensive lineman who has a great mix of size -- 6-foot-6, 295-pounds -- and athleticism. He has the ability to be a franchise left tackle and is drawing major recruiting interest from colleges around the nation. He remains pretty wide open with the process.
Right on Tunsil's heels is Tampa (Fla.) Wharton five-star cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III. The nation's No. 2 overall cornerback and No. 9 overall prospect is capable of playing cornerback or safety, but will settle in at cornerback at the next level. He has good size at 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, but what sets him apart from his peers is his instincts and ability to make a play on the ball in the air. Hargreaves, who remains wide open in his recruitment, exhibits great technique at the cornerback spot and a desire to win each and every rep. At the high school level, he shines on both sides of the ball.
The third and final five-star in the Rivals.com Florida Preseason Top 100 for 2013 is Miami (Fla.) Booker T. Washington five-star outside linebacker Matthew Thomas. Thomas, who recently shared a top five of Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Louisville and Miami, is an ultra-athletic linebacker with good size at 6-foot-1, 200-plus pounds. Whether it is coming down to fill a gap and make the tackle or making a play in the flats or even dropping back to play the pass, Thomas always seems to be around the ball. He covers a ton of ground quickly, regardless of the direction he is traveling. He racked up 117 tackles and 13 sacks as a junior.
Rounding out the top 10 in Florida is Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas four-star strongside defensive end Joey Bosa, Delray Beach (Fla.) American Heritage four-star running back Greg Bryant, Seffner (Fla.) Armwood four-star safety Leon McQuay III, Yulee (Fla.) four-star athlete Derrick Henry, Oakland Park (Fla.) Northeast four-star wide receiver Stacy Coley, St. Petersburg (Fla.) Catholic four-star running back Ryan Green, and Orlando (Fla.) Dr. Phillips four-star safety Marcell Harris.
[ RELATED: Find your state's ranking here]
With regards to the Rivals.com positional rankings, the Sunshine State is home to the nation's top offensive tackle, Tunsil, top athlete, Henry, and top fullback, Lakeland (Fla.) Lake Gibson three-star fullback Kennard Swanson. Swanson, who is committed to LSU, is ranked 91st overall in the Sunshine State.
Just like Florida, the Rivals.com Georgia Preseason Top 80 for 2013 is led by a trio of five-star prospects.
The nation's No. 1 overall prospect, Loganville (Ga.) Grayson five-star strongside defensive end Robert Nkemdiche, resides in Georgia. Joining him at the elite status in the Peach State is Vienna (Ga.) Dooly County five-star defensive tackle Montravius Adams, the state's No. 2 prospect, and Alpharetta (Ga.) Milton five-star weakside defensive end Carl Lawson, who checks in at No. 3 in Georgia.
All three of those players are the top players in the nation at their respective positions. Lawson is the only one committed at this point, having pledged to Auburn. The nation's top all-purpose back is a Georgia prospect, Marietta (Ga.) Walton's Tyren Jones. The four-star prospect, who has pledged to Alabama, is the 12th best prospect overall in-state.
Click Here to view this Link.
Rivals.com's Alabama Preseason Top 30 for 2013 has a pair of five-star prospects at the top in Auburn (Ala.) five-star inside linebacker Reuben Foster and Muscle Shoals (Ala.) five-star strongside defensive end Dee Liner. Foster, an Alabama commitment, is the nation's top inside linebacker. Liner has pledged his services to Auburn.
Rivals.com's Mississippi Preseason Top 20 for 2013 is without a five-star prospect at the top. The top prospect in Mississippi for the 2013 class is Batesville (Miss.) South Panola four-star safety Antonio Conner. The Rivals100 product is considered the fifth-best safety in America. He has yet to make a verbal commitment.
Sitting at the top of the Rivals.com Tennessee Preseason Top 25 for 2013 is four-star cornerback Jalen Ramsey of Nashville (Tenn.) Brentwood Academy. Ramsey is the only Rivals100 prospect in Tennessee for the 2013 class. Ramsey continues to evaluate his options with regards to his recruitment.

1. Re: iPad Digital Editions?nosnibor56 Jul 16, 2010 9:29 PM (in response to Fran22431)
I share some frustration with Fran! I have purchased a book from eBooks, passed it through ADE to unlock DRM in hopes of loading the "purchased item" onto my iPad and I get a message stating it cannot be done as it is DRM protected. I've always thought that a purchased eBook or ePub become DRM free once it has been unlocked by ADE; am I wrong? Too many steps so far! Buy a book, import to ADE, import to Calibre and still unable to load onto iPad. Title is unavailable in iBooks -- go figure!
2. Re: iPad Digital Editions?KDahl3 Jul 21, 2010 9:46 AM (in response to nosnibor56)
There's an iPhone/iPod app called txtr that will be able to open it.
3. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Saxon Woods Sep 27, 2010 1:05 PM (in response to nosnibor56)
I just discovered this thread after sharing similar frustrations with ADE and IPad. The .ascm file that's created in your DE directory on your computer when you buy a DRM-protected book is just the key that unlocks the pdf of the book file, the one that you read within DE.
Unlikely that there will be an IPad version of DE anytime soon, given the Flash wars between Adobe and Apple. But there is a workaround via an IPad app called Txtr, which can unlock (legally) and display ebooks that are DRM-protected. After you download the app, it allows you to register your Adobe ID and thus link your IPad with it, like you do with your desktop; then you need to email or otherwise upload the pdf file on your computer to a txtr dropbox, and then download it to your IPad using the Txtr app. You can then read the file on your IPad within Txtr. Laborious process, but it works.....
4. Re: iPad Digital Editions?metilou Sep 27, 2010 1:14 PM (in response to Saxon Woods)
I have an ipad and download books without going through ADE. There are lots of books available and after buying an e-reader a year ago, which I was only ever able to download one book to, there is absolutely no way I am going anywhere near ADE again. The support is awful and I never did get my issues resolved.
5. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Saxon Woods Sep 27, 2010 1:27 PM (in response to metilou)
Yes, not very user friendly. And, anyway, there are Kindle and Nook apps for the IPad. My problem was in downloading and reading galley proofs of as-yet unpublished books not yet available at any ebook store. They're almost always DRM-protected, and that means I'm tied to ADE as the only way to read them. Thus, the Txtr option for reading them on the IPad.
6. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Fran22431 Sep 27, 2010 1:36 PM (in response to Saxon Woods)
Txtr works with purchased books, but it does not work with books borrowed from a public library. I am looking for a way to read these books on the iPad, there is no App for that at this time.
7. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Fran22431 Nov 29, 2010 9:46 AM (in response to Fran22431)
There is now an app BlueFIre reader that works with public library books.
8. Re: iPad Digital Editions?davidalfa Dec 2, 2010 6:47 PM (in response to Fran22431)
Come on Adobe! Make an iPad Digital Edition...
WE WANT TO READ OUR EBOOKS ON THE IPAD, not on the stupid, slow, buggy, horrible desktop version.
With this actions, everyday you loose and loose fans.
9. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Jim Lester Dec 6, 2010 10:21 AM (in response to davidalfa)
There are plenty of choices for reading books on the iPad, and as Fran mentioned above the BlueFire Reader is my favorite.
10. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Leo5678 Mar 5, 2011 5:00 PM (in response to Jim Lester)
DRM only causing hassle to us. We paid for ebooks and still have no rights over them as we have for books that we can even borrow to friends.
Calibre staff is right saying that "Customers will inevitably lose the ebooks they buy. I wonder how long these companies will be in business? Or even if they care."
The only solution is to stop buying ebooks. We better look for free DRM ebooks until ePublishers stop to steer people away from this possibility of freedom simply to maintain their relevance in world developing so fast that they cant keep up.
11. Re: iPad Digital Editions?isclmain_pc Nov 15, 2011 2:25 PM (in response to KDahl3)
Ok I have downloaded the Txtr app and have activated my adobe ID. Hopw do I get the book on the IPAD?
12. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Nerakbar Nov 24, 2011 4:01 AM (in response to Fran22431)
Hi There
I am having similar problems. I wanted a technical book and eventually found it electronically at Taylor and Francis. Trying to download it to my ipad caused a hiccup but they were very helpful in getting the book to me on my laptop, but realised no way to get it onto the ipad despite their help. I chose the Adobe version because that is usually the best format for a variety of platforms, but still can't load it there despite loading txtr. I only have a download link and Safari won't use it. Still not certain which Adobe app I need to read it with - digital editions works on the laptop -. Any suggestions? Can't Adobe and Apple just make friends for us poor saps out here?
13. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Ivan Sinigaglia Nov 27, 2011 3:01 PM (in response to Fran22431)
Horrivel, too bad, odiei esse adobe. ****. Nunca mais compro ebbok pre essa porcaria desse adobe. Quero ler meus livros no iPad. You lost this war adobe, you lost.
14. Re: iPad Digital Editions?pastorjlo Dec 2, 2011 11:05 AM (in response to isclmain_pc)
Follow the procedure below.
Go to http://txtr.com/ (Germany company who are working with Adobe to make a way for Adobe DRM protected ebooks to be transferred to Apple and Android devices).
(Note the process will continue to be refined as textr work with Adobe in coming months.)
Sign up for a free txtr account.
Download an ebook (for example an EBL ebook) to Adobe Digital Editions installed on your computer.
Login to your txtr account, select the ME option and then select Upload texts at the bottom of the Private Texts box.
A window will come up asking you to select a file to upload to txtr.com.
Navigate to your My Digital Editions folder on your computer. If using Windows XP it will be located at C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Digital Editions\
If using Windows Vista or Windows 7 it will be located at C:\Users\username\Documents\My Digital Editions\
Select the PDF or ePub file for the book you want to upload to txtr.com. The book will then upload to txtr.com and appear in your Private Texts box.
Go to the App Store and download the free txtr app to your iPad or mobile device.
Open the txtr app on your iPad or mobile device. Go to Settings and then Login with your txtr username and password.
Secondly select the AdobeID option (that will say not activated) and enter in your Adobe ID to activate your Adobe ID.
Then on your mobile device go to Library and select Private Texts and any ebooks you have uploaded to txtr.com now appear here.
Select the ebook and then select the Download button and the book is now downloaded to the mobile device or iPad and available for reading.
It did work for me!!
15. Re: iPad Digital Editions?hay62 Dec 28, 2011 10:00 AM (in response to Fran22431)
I followed the txtr reply of Dec 2 and some screens had different names ie. no ME option or Private Texts but My Books. All worked as described until it came time to download ebook in Txtr app library on iPad. Message appeared "Could Not Download Document - There was a problem loading the document" It was an EPUB library book downloaded with Adobe Digital Editions to my computer and I tried it with 2 different books.
Any ideas ?
16. Re: iPad Digital Editions?DJM73 Jan 6, 2012 10:58 AM (in response to Fran22431)
I just purchased my first eBook with the belief that I could read it on my iPad using txtr. However, although you can seem to upload the files following the method pastorjlo mentions above, txtr does not seem to allow files sizes greater than 20MB. My book is a large (expensive) text book of 47MB which I can not read where I need to read it.
If anyone has any suggestions about how to reduce the file size or divide the book up into three parts I would be greatful?
17. Re: iPad Digital Editions?wodsirk Jan 10, 2012 11:07 AM (in response to pastorjlo)
Great instructions.
GreatThis worked perfectly.
18. Re: iPad Digital Editions?richie0573 Jun 6, 2012 5:50 AM (in response to wodsirk)
Yes, Bluefire is the answer, just tried it and it was quick and easy.
19. Re: iPad Digital Editions?SJU1987 Oct 9, 2012 5:15 AM (in response to Fran22431)
Bluefire works but the instructions on how to load a book are FOUR PAGES LONG! One person above lists a simple 20 STEP PROCESS to load a book.
(Meanwhile back at the library) [crickets chirp] Marianne (madame librarian): I wonder why nobody is using our wonderful new ebooks? Well, I suppose I'll just go dust the old paper books again.
20. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Annine Oct 15, 2012 7:12 PM (in response to SJU1987)
For library books, I download a free app named Overdrive. I can even access the library through it. I used them for audiobooks on my Zune and they provided great support.
21. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Allen_JonathanT Nov 15, 2012 1:18 AM (in response to Fran22431)
Temporary Solution:
For everyone, IF you can purchase the same PDF ebook title from any one source - vendor, distibutor, [your choice here] - that does not download only into the Adobe(TM) Digital Editions software; then go for it.
Preceding Thought:
From the Top View, Adobe is tackling international legal situations - which for this period in time, between 1989 (first burgeoning year of public internet access) and now 15 Nov 2012 - is still an extreme newborn situation, those very few individuals who sincerely care for All Cultures generally, relative to the total population of the entire earth are managing to guide this legal (appearance of a) nightmare.
The single most signficant peave I have is assuming one way is always the best way, this includes proprietary formats that do not use a single Global Multimedia Interconnectivity Standard in the core - which for reference the World Wide Web Consortium ("W3C" colloquially) was created to help prevent mitigate the use of any one proprietary format and build a globally-connecting increasingly more simple to learn and use system of technical web languages.
However, from seeing (of those I experienced and not all inclusive) how Apple, Adobe, Autodesk, Amazon, and all small and medium sized business are interacting, all this cognitive dissoance is very similar Globally how we as individuals are thinking locally; trying to "Solve problems to simplify Life".
If there is feature you would like to see, request through their feedback channels - constructively, not destructively; and with patience. These modern tools are not easy for any one person alone to make.
Sorry for the rant folks, early morning - past midnight -, a mind that works like a very very deep sponge, and a severely horizontal trans-disciplinary mindset.
Sincerely: Cheers, and Thank you for being You-nique!
22. Re: iPad Digital Editions?sjpt Dec 14, 2012 10:54 AM (in response to Annine)
Another way to transfer DRM .epub books to iPad is to use Dropbox.
The Dropbox app on the iPad can then open them in Bluefire.
Dropbox will initially say 'Unable to view file', but if you click on the top right icon in Dropbox it will give options such as 'Open in Bluefire Reader' and 'Open in OverDrive', depending what is installed.
(Just checked, the Bluefire option works fine but that route into OverDrive doesn't seem to work for me.)
Still a bit indirect, but saves the horrors of iTunes (for those whose opinion of iTunes is similar to mine ....)
23. Re: iPad Digital Editions?vikro Oct 5, 2013 1:10 AM (in response to Fran22431)
(ADE FILE YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED FROM NET WILL BE THERE IN "My Digital Editions" FOLDER IN YOUR PC)
24. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Ivan X Dec 17, 2013 4:27 AM (in response to sjpt)
Absolutely true. Thought I'd add that I was able to accomplish same even more easily by using CrashPlan, which already had my whole computer backed up, so all I had to do was go "restore" the PDF from within the CrashPlan app, click the icon the upper right, and open in Bluefire Reader. Worked great.
25. Re: iPad Digital Editions?kbalt Feb 1, 2014 1:23 PM (in response to Fran22431)
I found that Bluefire Reader will open an .acsm file on an iPad. Thank the Lord...and those of you that suggested it!!
26. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Swartblits Mar 14, 2014 1:37 PM (in response to pastorjlo)
I just went through the trouble of creating an adobe id just to say: "Adobe, if you want to add drm on files, kindly make sure you provide a proper app to IOS and Android, you ....recanted..
This makes people revert to piracy because it is ALOT easier than to have to be a computer expert to navigate this spider web of DRM just to read a book on my IPAD!"
Thanks very much pastorjlo for the txtr help. I will be using THAT store in the future.
Kind Regards to all you awesome people sharing the pain
27. Re: iPad Digital Editions?Angel1989 May 16, 2014 6:58 PM (in response to Fran22431)
It's a pity that Adobe doesn't provide us the adobe digital editions for ipad.
But don't worry we can use another alternatives to replace it, play the same role on reading adobe books on iPad.
Adobe Digital Editions for iPad Alternative
28. Re: iPad Digital Editions?rangerlady Jun 16, 2014 6:10 PM (in response to Fran22431)
I use Overdrive on both my Ipad and my Iphone and it works fine with Adobe Digital Editions. I mostly use if with my library which downloads directly to the app. For other books I can download it to my computer and then transfer it by emailing it to myself at an account I can access on the ipad (just click on the downloaded file to open it in Overdrive). I can also download directly by purchasing on the web using the ipad.

Yep nickl20263810 is right.
More instructions syncing ebooks with Adobe DE on iPad here:
I hope this helps someone else out but I recently came accross the Adobe Digital Editions app within the app store and downloaded it to my iPad. At first I was pulling my hair out trying to sync ebooks across using the Adobe DE application on my macbook and it was not recognising it no matter what I did. This in itself is the issue, this method might work for Kindles, Kobos and other electronic book readers but it will not work for Apple devices.
What Apple fail to mention is that you need to transfer content across using the iTunes library (like music and video media). First of all, get the location of your ebook on your computer (you can right click on it in the DE library and get item info). Then open up iTunes and get to your apps area, select the Adobe DE app.
Then scroll down to the bottom and look for the "Add button". Then go looking for the location on your computer with the ebook file is (you should have got this information from the Adobe DE application on your computer). You add the ebook and then hit the "sync" button.
Not very clear on Adobe and Apple's part but there you go.
34. Re: iPad Digital Editions?toniste Apr 2, 2015 7:21 PM (in response to FlashTapper)
No need to sync, just open the app on the iPad and the book will load.
35. Re: iPad Digital Editions?FlashTapper Apr 3, 2015 3:12 AM (in response to toniste)
yes I just noticed this functionality later today. Problem is that the Adobe dev team need to put ALOT more development work into the DE app (for iOS at least). It just cannot stack up against the other readers out there, it sucks pretty bad.
after much frustration I went and downloaded blue fire reader. Wow it just poops all over DE....
36. Re: iPad Digital Editions?FlashTapper Apr 3, 2015 3:16 AM (in response to jul206)
@jul and @akadolph - add the book via iTunes and sync with the app. Locate the ePub or PDF file on your computer and sync it in iTunes with blue fire. Meh you prob already figures that out by now as my reply is like 6 months later....

Our friend Tom Cotton has jumped ahead in the Republican congressional primary in Arkansas' Fourth District. With 2 of 33 counties reporting, Tom has 74 percent of the vote and leads his main rival Beth Anne Rankin 418 votes to 113. Clearly, there's a very long way to go, and we'll keep you posted.
Meanwhile, in the Arkansas Democratic presidential primary, President Obama leads someone call John Wolfe by 58 percent to 42 percent, with 1 of 75 counties. This one could be fun to watch.
You can follow these races at the Arkansas Secretary of State's website.
UPDATE: It could be a long night. Tom currently leads Rankin 3,523 to 3,326, according to Real Clear Politics.
Obama is now up 61 percent to 39 percent. His opponent says he has raised less than $2,000 and he is not from Arkansas, but rather Nashville, Tennessee.
Romney, by contrast, leads Ron Paul in Arkansas by 72-12.
UPDATE (WITH MORE MEANINGFUL RESULTS): At about the one-third mark, Tom has opened up a lead of about 2,000 votes. He's at 53.4 percent to 42.6 percent for Rankin. Tom was at 51 percent in the last poll I saw, with Rankin at 33 percent.
AT ABOUT THE HALF WAY POINT: Tom has upped his lead to around 4,700 votes. His margin is 55-39.
Arkansas has run-off elections if no candidate reaches 50 percent, so we'll keep a close eye on Tom's percentage.
FINAL UPDATE: Approximately three-quarters of the vote is in. Tom is leading by around 6,000 votes and commands 56 percent of the total. Politico (or someone on its behalf) has declared him the winner.
This could be the start of something very big. Tom's a huge baseball fan, and I hope he'll forgive me if I compare his smashing entrance onto the political stage to Bryce Harper's emergence the same month as a potential Major League superstar.

Eric S. Raymond questioned whether or not we still need reciprocal licenses like the GPL in a world where abusing open source code by making it closed source is pretty much a death sentence for your company. "One of my heretical opinions is that we worry way too much about licensing. And in particular; I don't think we really need reciprocal licensing. I don't think we need licenses like the GPL, that punish people for taking code closed-source," he said. He goes on to explain why.
According to ESR, open source development is the superior way of developing software because you get more out of your investments with open source development than with closed source development. Because of this, ESR argues, it is generally a bad idea to take open source code, make it closed source, and develop a business around that, because the original open source product will still be developed, but at greater speeds and efficiency than can be maintained by the small, closed-source team.
Consequently, ESR states, the market will punish you for taking open source code and close it up. It's simply never a successful strategy, he argues, and as such, how much sense does it make to have reciprocal licenses like the GPL? "That is why I don't think you really need GPL or a reciprocal licenses anymore," he said, "It is attempting to prevent the behavior that the market punishes anyway." He added that the BSD license is a good alternative to the GPL.
He takes it one step further by stating:
That's a pretty heavy thing to say, especially for someone so synonymous with the open source movement. The article linked to above gives the example of Mac OS X as a successful attempt at taking something open and making it closed, but this is a faulty assumption. Apple has not closed off any code; everything open they ever used is freely downloadable, as well as the changes Apple has made. It's just that in the case of Darwin, no one really cares.
It's a controversial opinion by ESR, but he does make a very compelling argument. The GPL won't go anywhere any time soon of course, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't question its usefulness.
