Historical Supplement to the Demographic Yearbook, 1948-1978 (ICPSR 7892)
Principal Investigator(s): United Nations
This data collection contains 12 statistical tables that were published in the HISTORICAL SUPPLEMENT OF THE UNITED NATIONS DEMOGRAPHIC YEARBOOK, issued in 1980 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the publication of the DEMOGRAPHIC YEARBOOK. It presents time series data on population size, age, sex, urban/rural residence, natality, mortality, and nuptiality as well as selected derived measures concerning these components of population change for countries of the world over a 30-year time period. The unit of analysis is ethnic group within a country, by year. Parts 1 and 2 contain tables (labeled 1-12, in non-chronological order) stratified by ethnicity, urbanicity, and/or sex. Part 1 contains six tables: (1) estimates of mid-year population and vital statistics summary, 1948-1978, (2) population by sex, urbanicity, and intercensal rates of increase for total population, each census, 1948-1978, (4) selected derived measures of natality, 1948-1977, (7) female population by age, total number of children born alive, and total number of children living, each census, 1948-1978, (8) life expectancy by sex and age, 1948-1977, and (11) selected derived measures of marriage and divorce. The six tables in Part 2 are: (3) population by age, sex, and urban/rural residence, each census, 1948-1977, (5) live births by age of mother and sex of infant, 1948-1977, (6) live-birth rates specific for age of mother, 1948-1977, (9) deaths by age and sex, 1948-1977, (10) death rates specific for age and sex, 1948-1977, and (12) population by marital status, age, and sex, each census, 1948-1977. The records in Part 3 are text and correspond to the footnotes for the tables in the other two files.

iPhone 5S pictures leaked?
5 comments post a comment
Photos on an online forum claim to show the casing of the Apple iPhone 5S model, said to be coming soon.
Just two months after the long anticipated release of the iPhone 5, new pictures have surfaced on forums claiming to show the iPhone 5S.
The images, which were leaked on a forum run by iPhone5parts dont show much more than the exterior casing of the phone, which unsurprisingly looks almost identical to the iPhone 5. Rumors have been swirling that Apple intends to launch a slightly upgraded iPhone in early 2013, as the firm speeds up its product cycles to compete with Android rivals like Samsung.
The pictures show the back cover of an iPhone with a prototype serial number and different screw placement.
UBM Tech Insights analyst and teardown expert Allan Yogasingam said it was hard to determine how reliable the product leak was, as Apple is notorious for running a tight ship at the design level. But once products start being prototyped and manufactured, the same level of security does not apply.
Weve seen leaks of this nature before, as parts of the iPhone 5 were shown to the public months before the actual handset surfaced, said Yogasingam.
He added that in the case of these specific photos, it was indeed very possible that we could be looking at the casing of the iPhone 5S because the S series of handsets are usually minor iterative improvements on the previous generation; usually at the internal level.
Yogasingam said he would expect the 5S to feature a processor that improves upon the Apple A6X, and that the updated model could be the first Apple handset to feature a quad-core CPU and quad-core GPU making it more in line with the handsets currently offered by Samsung (Galaxy S3) and others using quad-core Nvdia Tegra 3 application processors.
Its also believed that Apple may opt to integrate a better camera, wireless charging capability and NFC in an updated model.
This may be good news for Apple fans, some of whom were mildly disappointed by the relatively small upgrade they felt the iPhone 5 offered from the iPhone 4S.

Retreat and union reach tentative agreement
BRATTLEBORO -- The Brattleboro Retreat, and the union representing about 500 of its workers, have reached a tentative contract agreement after months of acrimonious and tense negotiations.
The two sides reached a tentative settlement at around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday after a marathon bargaining session that started early Monday morning.
The workers at the Retreat who are represented by United Nurses and Allied Professionals will vote on the contract agreement Monday, Dec. 17.
Until the deal is finalized, neither side wanted to talk much about the details of the settlement.
But representatives from the union and from the Retreat say negotiators were able to reach an agreement early Tuesday after hashing out their differences.
"There is a signed agreement. I give the bargaining team an enormous amount of credit for their hard work, good judgment, and time and effort they put into this," said Jack Callaci, director of bargaining and organizing for UNAP. "Now it will be up to the members to make the judgment if this is acceptable to them."
Callaci said the union will host four informational meetings with the staff at the Retreat on Monday and the staff will vote by secret ballot.
Prior to this week's meeting, Callaci said the two sides were far apart on staffing issues, as well as on health insurance, retirement and pay scales.
The staff members were unhappy, Callaci said a few weeks ago, that they were being asked to put off an adequate pay raise after forgoing previous step increases while the Retreat struggled through challenging economic times.
"Nobody ever gets everything they want in negotiations. It's my job to be there to help judge the contract but it will be up to the members to vote on it," said Callaci. "We are hopeful that it will be approved."
The announcement Tuesday that the two sides were able to settle the contract dispute comes after the union held a series of public informational pickets and the Retreat announced that it was eliminating 31 positions and a series of programs at the psychiatric hospital.
The last contract expired on Oct. 15 and two sides have agreed to a series of extensions to prevent a strike while the negotiations continued.
After a few unsuccessful bargaining sessions there was a meeting held on Nov. 27 where major disagreements were able to be worked out. Both sides were determined to reach a settlement at this week's meeting.
"I think was important enough, and the two sides were close enough, that they wanted to stay with it and work this out," said Brattleboro Retreat Senior Vice President of Government Relations Peter Albert.
"This is an important step. Both sides were able to work through the emotional and complicated issues to develop a plan that will allow us to move forward, and take this step together."

As Oliver Twist once put it, "Please, sir, I want some more."
Tourism officials came, cap-in-hand, before the Board of County Commissioners on Monday. Only instead of gruel, they were petitioning for extra money to market Montezuma County as a premier tourist destination.
Bruce Lightenberger, new chairman of Mesa Verde Country's board of directors, made the case that dollars promoting tourism are dollars well spent. They attract more out-of-town visitors, he argued, and encourage those visitors to stay here longer, all the while shelling out money at local businesses. He likened it to a multiplier effect.
The county is already contributing $107,000 to four tourism-related entities in 2013: $45,000 to Mesa Verde Country, $30,000 each to the Mancos and Dolores chambers of commerce and $2,000 to the Cortez Cultural Center. The money comes from lodgers tax - a surcharge tacked on to overnight accommodations, like hotel rooms and bed and breakfasts.
For its part, the city of Cortez is giving about $130,000 worth of lodgers tax, as well as a second $163,500 sum derived from sales taxes - all to Mesa Verde Country. Both of those contributions happen every year, said City Manager Shane Hale, although the exact amounts vary.
Even so, Lightenberger asked the county to scrounge up another $50,000 from its coffers, and potentially more down the road. He said Mesa Verde Country plans to make a concerted marketing strategy shift this year, away from printed materials and toward digital platforms like Internet advertising and cellphone apps. However, he could not ensure that the extra money would be spent on that purpose specifically. Some of it could pay administrative costs.
Commissioner Larry Don Suckla was, in theory, supportive of the strategic shift, citing predictions that 75 percent of advertising will be seen on mobile devices within three years. Before committing to any funding, though, Suckla wanted more information about how it would be spent.
Fellow commissioner Steve Chappell said any added tourism funding would be a tough sell among his constituents. Unlike Cortez, the county has no sales tax revenue to draw from, only property tax.
"It's important to show the value (of this) to landowners. This would be their tax money," he said. "We don't have (a county) sales tax. That makes it hard to spend money in this direction unless county residents see a benefit."
Lightenberger could not offer concrete assurances of a return, but was adamant that investing in tourism pays off.
"When tourism does well, those dollars rattle around the community more than once," he said, adding that he doesn't want Montezuma County to fall behind its regional competitors. "If we don't push this collectively, as a city and county, Durango sure as heck will. Moab will. We need to be aggressive."
The commissioners didn't promise anything, and asked Lightenberger to bring a line-by-line tourism budget for them to examine. They also wanted a detailed list of ways the $50,000 would be spent, if approved.
In a related matter, tourism officials were buoyed by the recent discovery of another $30,000, or thereabouts, in lodgers tax revenue. Sue Scott, chairwoman of the county lodgers tax committee, said the revenue came in unexpectedly from late tax filers.
Scott asked that county treasurer Sherry Dyess keep the money in reserve as a cushion for future requests. But she underscored that it should ultimately be spent on tourism promotion, not diverted to unrelated county funds or used to plug shortfalls.
"It can't go to roads," she said.
Several leadership changes are afoot in the local tourism industry. Lightenberger, who owns the Holiday Inn Express, replaced P.G. West as Mesa Verde Country board chair earlier this month. And longtime Mesa Verde Country director Lynn Dyer is retiring at the end of May. The board interviewed four candidates for the position and chose Heather Hughes of Durango, city councilor Shawna McLaughlin said at Tuesday's City Council meeting.

Members of the $32 million U.S. Coast Guard Community Credit Union in Pasadena, Md., have approved a merger with the $2.5 billion Tower Federal Credit Union in Laurel, Md.
Sixty-eight members voted Thursday in favor of the merger, and 10 members voted against the merger, according to Carla Burger, a marketing communications representative for the 125,530-member Tower FCU.
USCGCCU has 3,978 members. Seven USCG employees formed the credit union in 1940, pooling their money to help themselves and their friends to save and borrow at reasonable rates during difficult times.
The proposed merger, expected to be complete by June 30, is waiting for regulatory approvals from the NCUA and the Maryland Commissioner of Financial Regulation.

The Linked Media Framework is an easy-to-set-up server application that bundles central Semantic Web technologies to offer advanced services. The Linked Media Framework consists of LMF Core and LMF Modules. The core component of the Linked Media Framework is a Linked Data Server that allows you to expose data following the Linked Data Principles. The Linked Data Server implemented as part of the LMF goes beyond the Linked Data principles by extending them with Linked Data Updates and by integrating management of metadata and content and making both accessible in a uniform way. Its extensions are described in more detail in LinkedMediaPrinciples. In addition to the Linked Data Server, the LMF Core also offers a highly configurable Semantic Search service and a SPARQL endpoint. Setting up and using the Semantic Search component is described in SemanticSearch. Accessing the SPARQL endpoint is described in SPARQLEndpoint. Whereas the extension of the Linked Data principles is already conceptually well-described, work is proceeding on a proper specification and extension of Semantic Search and SPARQL endpoint for Linked Data servers.

Renaming a file works well when there is just one. But when you have a directory full of them, it gets tedious quickly. With nametrans, you can use search and replace on your list of files as you would on text in a document. And with regular expressions, you have even more power to transform file names (and whole file paths) systematically. With useful presets for common fixes like lowercasing or capitalization, you can keep your filenames nice and tidy, whether 10 or 10,000 of them, in one go.
Robinhood Policy Engine is a multi-purpose tool for managing the content of large filesystems. It can audit filesystem content, perform accounting, remove old unused files according to admin-defined policies, show customizable alerts based on file properties, backup data to external storage, and more. It has advanced capabilities for Lustre filesystems. It leverages OST usage, and lists or purges files per OST, with policy criteria based on pools and OST index. It can also process MDT changelogs with Lustre v2. Originally developped for HPC, it has been designed to perform all of its tasks in parallel, so it is particularly adapted for running on large filesystems with millions of entries and petabytes of data. But you can nonetheless take advantage of all of its features for managing smaller filesystems.

Anatomy Of A Signal Snowboard
Do you ever wonder where your snowboard came from? What hands have touched it? How did it manifest and make its way under your feet to dangle off the chairlift?
Chances are it was squirted out of a factory by robot arms, not human hands. Which isn't necessarily a negative thing, but just so you know, you can pick up a board made by a snowboarder like yourself. The crew at The Lodge-Signal Snowboards' factory-still pumps 'em out. One at a time, by hand. To prove it, they let us come and lay up a few custom ones. From base to core and topsheet to graphics we walked through the process. Follow the slideshow to see the ins and outs of the factory how each was made by hand.

"Reporting from Fernald Preserve, Ohio - Amid the family farms and rolling terrain of southern Ohio, one hill stands out for its precise geometry. "The 65-foot-high mound stretching more than half a mile dominates a tract of northern hardwoods, prairie grasses and swampy ponds, known as the Fernald Preserve. "Contrary to appearances, there is nothing natural here. The high ground is filled with radioactive debris, scooped from the soil around a former uranium foundry that produced crucial parts for the nation's nuclear weapons program. "A $4.4-billion cleanup transformed Fernald from a dangerously contaminated factory complex into an environmental showcase. But it is "clean" only by the terms of a legal agreement. Its soils contain many times the natural amounts of radioactivity, and a plume of tainted water extends underground about a mile."

South African Airways, can not take responsibility for undelivered e-mails due to any other reasons beyond our control including the above.
Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
Cape Town, Monday, 04 June 2013. Successful state owned airlines' critical success factors include clarity of mandate and a harmonised 'Whole Of State' aviation policy framework. Global air services drive almost all economic sectors, delivering trade, employment, tax revenues, job creation, skills development and a substantial direct and indirect contribution to Gross Domestic Product and, along with the catalytic demand impact on related sectors such as tourism, the importance of an aligned whole of state aviation policy in developing economies cannot be underestimated.
"SAA continues to answer its mandate vis-à-vis national development," says the SAA Group's Nico Bezuidenhout, "in South Africa alone the value of SAA extends well beyond its balance sheet with the airline functioning as a substantial economic enabler." As measured by a recently commissioned Oxford Economics Study the group comprising SAA, SAA Technical, low cost airline Mango, SAA Cargo, Air Chefs and SA Travel Centre, collectively contributes 3,6 billion Rand through direct output to the South African economy, 4 billion indirectly through its supply chain and 1,6 billion Rand through spending employees and respective supply chains. In addition there are 12,4 billion Rand in catalytic benefits through tourism bringing a total contribution to the South African economy to 21,6 billion Rand.
"Equal to SAA's contribution to GDP is the fact that the Group supports 34 000 jobs in South Africa," says Bezuidenhout. "11 500 of these are directly supported by the Group while 16 400 jobs lie in the SAA supply chain and a further 6 300 jobs are supported through the spending of Group employees and its supply chain. The study shows a tourism benefit of a further 51 400 jobs as an effect from the two passenger airlines operated – SAA and Mango – carrying 6.2 million passengers and 144 275 tonnes of cargo during the past fiscal." This is equivalent to 36 percent of all passenger traffic to, from and within South Africa.
Bezuidenhout believes that a sound policy framework is a critical success factor for a state owned airline and it allows the aviation sector optimise its economic contribution. "Infrastructure development such as airports, the growth of airlines, air traffic management and bilateral air service agreements among others must be optimised and efficiencies improved to facilitate the growth of a state's aviation sector."
"Increased growth will lead to a far greater catalytic contribution to domestic and continental GDP, job creation, skills development and tax base growth (VAT, income tax, aviation taxes etc). Examples outside South Africa, where 'Whole Of State' aviation policies have succeeded include Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and, closer to home, Ethiopia."
This position was very much supported at the IATA (International Air Transportation Association) Annual General Meeting in Cape Town. Association Director General Tony Tyler noted the African opportunity. In a statement he noted that "Global connectivity – enabled by aviation – has a very powerful role to play in integrating the 54 national economies of Africa and connecting them to the world. With a few kilometres of tarmac, even the most remote destination becomes part of the global community." African aviation already supports an estimated US$ 67 billion in economic activity annually and 6,7 million jobs.
About SAA
South African Airways (SAA) is the leading carrier in Africa, serving 26 destinations across the continent, as well as major destinations within South Africa and internationally from its Johannesburg hub. It is a member of the largest international airline network, Star Alliance. SAA's core business is the provision of passenger airline and cargo transport services together with related services, which are provided through SAA and its four wholly owned subsidiaries: SAA Technical; Mango its low cost carrier; Air Chefs, the catering entity of SAA and South African Travel Centre (SATC).

War memorial to honor a century of city's lost veterans
By NEIL JOHNSON | The Janesville (Wis.) Gazette | Published: January 2, 2014
MILTON, Wis. — As U.S. Army machine gun battalion Sgt. Carroll Benjamin West lay dying on a battlefield along the Meuse River, near the town of Verdun in northern France, a soldier in his company gently lied to him.
It was Oct. 2, 1918, in the heart of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive — the final battle of World War I and the largest battle in U.S. military history.
West, who was just 20, was in charge of one of a few American machine-gun battalion companies called out that day to help infantry troops stanch a German counterattack at the Western Front along the French-German border.
As West's machine-gunners struggled up a hill, German bullets rained down upon them. West, a Milton College graduate whose family and fellow soldiers knew him as "Cal," was shot in his left side and mortally wounded.
As U.S. Army Pvt. Harry Chapman carried West down the hill, he saw the size of the bullet hole in West's side. He knew the sergeant's injury was grave, but he couldn't bring himself to tell West the truth.
"Sergeant West asked me if he was badly wounded, and for a few minutes, I could not answer; then I said, 'You are not badly wounded.' But I knew he was," Chapman said in a letter later published in a local memorial booklet on West's life.
West died shortly after he was injured, and he was later buried at Meuse-Argonne Military Cemetery, near where he was killed. West has a memorial marker at Milton Junction Cemetery in Milton, Wis., though his body never returned to American soil.
West's troops, who Chapman said knew him as one of the bravest, most beloved men they'd fought beside, last saw West being carried off by medics.
"We bade him good-by, and he said, 'I will be all right in a short time.' Then the stretcher-bearers took him away. That is all I know," Chapman said in his letter.
In July 2014, Milton's Veterans Park should have a new memorial in place that gives full honor, by name and military rank, to the 35 soldiers from the city of Milton who were killed in action during World War I, World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars.
Carroll West and other fallen Milton-area veterans will have their names and where they died etched in three granite monuments planned at the park along East High Street. The memorial is part of a $35,000 plan to add to an existing war memorial statue built at the park in 2012 by a local Eagle Scout.
The new memorial will include a patio and walkway of brick pavers inscribed with the names of Milton residents who have served in active duty in the military. Plans include landscaping and a set of 12 benches that will encircle the original 2012 monument.
The plan is being paid for through volunteer work and a public-private fundraising effort through the city of Milton, with a core of Milton war veterans, members of the city's parks and recreation commission and members and local businesses who are working to raise donations.
It's the first memorial that names Milton-area soldiers fallen in battle.
Lynda Clark, a member of the parks and recreation commission and a mother of two sons in the U.S. Marines, said volunteers have poured forth to make the memorial happen.
"We just wanted to find a way to honor and thank these people who laid their lives down for our freedom," Clark said. "So far, it's been overwhelming. We have had so many veteran families and military families in the area get involved with this memorial. It's great they're stepping up."
Clark said work is poised to start on the project this spring or early summer, with a target completion date of July 5.
Wendell Sisson, a retired History teacher who taught at Milton High School and later in Germany at a U.S. Department of Defense High School in Heidelberg, first hatched the idea of adding to the existing monument at the park, an eagle statue built in 2012.
Sisson moved back from Germany to Milton in 2009, and he spent three years tracking down the names of all Milton soldiers killed in action over the last 100 years.
He dug through state and local historical society records, the Internet and federal war and military burial registries to painstakingly piece together the names and details of every Milton-area war veteran killed since World War I. He even found a few local fallen soldiers who served in the American Civil War.
"It became something of an obsession," Sisson said.
Sisson ended up with six large binders of information, detailing when and exactly where Milton's fallen veterans served, what battles they fought in and details of where they're buried. Some never came home; they were buried in military cemeteries in Europe.
When Sisson lived in Europe, he noticed every small town there had a war memorial that listed the name of each local veteran who died in war. He wanted that for Milton.
"There (in Europe), people have not forgotten. It seems like here, we have," Sisson said.
In 2012, Sisson first approached the city about an idea for a memorial like those he'd seen in Europe, and in fall 2013, the council approved a plan to modify the park to include the new memorial.
Since then, several local contractors have offered gravel, concrete and landscaping services, and fundraising efforts continue.
Sisson's work helped unearth names of all the dozens of fallen soldiers from Milton, but along the way, he found out personal details about Milton's fallen — some of them poignant, others showing selflessness.
A local memorial booklet Sisson found that details Carroll West's life in Milton and his death at war contains sections of poetry West wrote to family members he wanted to cheer up while he served in France. One such poem is prefaced by a simple wish West had for a relative at home who was struggling with anxiety.
"To feel that our loved ones at home will be cheery and brave — even if some of us should happen to have hard luck over here (at war) doing our bit — that is what we like," West wrote.
Ninety-six years later, in a park in Milton, West's wish is coming true.

Tax Prospects for 2013
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding has tasked the agency secretaries to submit General Fund budget requests that maintain "current services", and add on any new initiatives separately. Unlike, say, rebuilding the Champlain Bridge, General Fund expenditures just keep rolling on year after year, growing with more people, depreciated dollars, new political demands, and governors thinking up new things to spend tax dollars on. Those agency requests are likely to produce a Five years ago Senate President Peter Shumlin, already marching toward the governorship, repeatedly declared "We are spending too much, and have used up our tax capacity There is no more money in the bank . We are tapped out."
Since that time Shumlin has nonetheless discovered all sorts of General Fund tax capacity, and proposed or enacted all sorts of new taxes. Here's a partial list: Higher taxes on hospitals, nursing homes, and visiting nurse services; tobacco; electric bills (Efficiency Vermont); health insurance claims; and the $21 million pilfered from the CVPS ratepayers to finance his favorite renewable energy subsidy programs, notably the Clean Energy Development Fund..
This list does not include the $27.5 million "penalty tax" on the Education Fund, because local voters failed to heed the Governor's urging to restrain their school budgets. Nor does it include the two cent increase in both school property taxes, to raise the education money to compensate for the penalty tax.
Also urged by Senate President Shumlin, but rejected, were a new "thermal efficiency" heating fuel tax, a "gas guzzler" tax on SUVs and pickups, a tax on milk distributors, a novel "unanticipated profits" tax on Vermont Yankee, and a state cap-and-trade energy tax program. So the tight fisted Senate leader of 2007 has since found lots more tax capacity, and numerous new ways to spend it, if he can get the bills passed by his hitherto largely compliant legislature.
There is plenty of pressure to accelerate General Fund spending. The entire Vermont labor movement and their many allies, chanting "Put People First", are vocally demanding that state government spend lots more to meet "every person's need for health, housing, dignified work, education, food, social security and healthy environment."
This is clearly impossible, but Shumlin himself has committed to single payer Green Mountain Care in 2017. This will require $3 billion from somewhere, and his hoped-for new Federal funds will surely fall far short of that amount. He also knows well that Vermont's two state-managed retirement funds show an alarming $3 billion gap between promised benefits and expected revenues.
Reducing state spending, aside from completed Tropical Storm Irene repairs, is not an acceptable option for a liberal majority. So where can Governor "No More Tax Capacity" go to find the money to fuel all the state's obligations and his ambitions?
Raising income taxes "on the rich" is not a good bet. The Tax Foundation reported last month that Vermont in 2010 had the 13th highest state and local tax burden, a finding that the Shumlin administration concedes is pretty close to the truth. Taxing the incomes of people who make a lot of money is an obvious stimulus for them to make and spend it somewhere else. Also, Shumlin himself has boasted of reducing income tax rates in 1999 and 2009 (in both cases disproportionately benefiting high income taxpayers, although he never mentions that).
The short list of potential new taxes comes down to some form of carbon tax on fossil fuel energy (proposed by Shumlin in 2008), extending the sales and use tax to services (offered earlier this year by Speaker Shap Smith, who is now backing off), and a General Fund "penalty tax" of up to $276 million on the Education Fund, that translates into higher school property taxes. Green Mountain Care, if and when it happens, will almost certainly require stiff new payroll taxes, so that source can't be tapped now to meet other demands.
Of course the Shumlin administration, staring the facts in the face, could relieve a lot of people by telling them and the union red shirts that 2013 will be the year of "Putting Solvency First." That thought brings to mind that popular Buddy Holly song of 1958, "That'll Be the Day "

The iPad will pay for itself because
1) it has the app you NEED
2) the quality of Android and Android apps in general is noticeably worse
3) customers respect class and quality
4) self-respect = self-improvement
Most realtors I've seen try to upsell customers to quality homes, trifling over $100 when you are making commissions significantly greater than that seems a little silly and it goes against a realtor's credo. You should also charge the cost of the iPad as a business expense.
SassySusan wrote:Pros - can support Samsung who was sued by apple over this device which helps prevent 1 company from having a monopoly,
Samsung is a "chaebol" – one of the family-run conglomerates that dominate South Korean society. Almost Mafia-like in their obsessive secrecy and reach, chaebols have influence in most markets and industries in the country and wield huge political influence.
the grip of the chaebols is pernicious and corruption lies beneath every facet of Korean society.

I personally think everything ARM belongs in a phone or a kid's toy, and until we see ULV-notebook class CPU's in tablets I am not at all interested. It would also need to have a lot of improvements in touch response-time for me to consider one over a notebook. So I guess when this becomes reality and Haswell replaces Ivy in tablets (that's two large steps ahead) tablets will be alluring.

Your post was essentially correct: You no longer need iTunes running on your PC unless you want to transfer files to your iDevice from your PC. But to be a pedantic ass, I would say that you do technically need iTunes - you just need it on your device.I don't think the "stuck with iTunes" is a valid argument anymore. What I mean is that if your primary use is for apps, then you don't actually need to use iTunes very often.

You never need to connect to your PC, as you can use Google's Drive site to store your files and then download them to your device (or Google Music to load audio files). Additionally, purchasing an app on the Play Store's web interface will let you push that app to the Android device of your choice, so you aren't locked into using either the Play app on the device nor some thick client on your PC.Isn't it pretty much the same for any Android device?

Honda has been touting its second generation Insight as a worthy competitor to the Toyota Prius. In the real world, however, sales aren't quite backing up those statements. The Insight is indeed a worthy competitor to the second generation Prius, but Honda is quickly finding out that it doesn't quite have the firepower to go up against the new third-generation Prius -- at least in the U.S. market.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Honda sold just 2,079 Insights during the month of June in the U.S. while Toyota was able to move a whopping 12,998 Prius hybrids. Since the Insight's introduction in March of this year, Honda has sold a total of 7,524 vehicles -- Toyota, however, has managed to move over 40,000 of its "green" icon. Honda is not expected to meet its sales goal of 90,000 Insights for 2009.
"We're all pretty disappointed. We thought we had the next hit on our hands," said Don Marino, Honda of Santa Monica's General Manager.
"Honda just hasn't had a cogent hybrid strategy at all," added Eric Noble, president of research firm Car Lab.
Honda's Insight does have a few characteristics which can win over consumers. It has a lower price tag than the Prius and more nimble handling. However, the Prius offers better fuel economy (50 mpg combined for the Prius versus 41 mpg combined for the Insight), is larger (the Prius is rated as a midsize vehicle, the Insight is a compact), is faster in acceleration runs, and offers more technology/options to pamper its driver and passengers.
Things are expected to get even worse for Honda when Toyota introduces its "stripper" Prius later this year. The current base Prius has an MSRP of $22,000 compared to $19,800 for the Insight. However, the price of entry for the Prius will drop to $21,000 with the new model in September making the price delta even smaller.

Here's the week 2 entries and winner for DC's Movember contest which is raising awareness for men's health issues.
For the second consecutive year DC is proud to support Movember, an annual charity 'mo'-vement committed to changing the way men think about, discuss and treat their own health issues by generating awareness and raising money for men's health.
Movember challenges men (Mo Bros) to grow a Mo (Aussie slang for moustache) for one month only, November, as a symbol in support of fighting men's health issues and celebrating the Mo. At the start of November guys register with a clean-shaven face and have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache, while raising money for men's health and the fight against prostate cancer.
In 2007, 81 DC 'Mo Bros' raised $48,497, with DC President Nick Adcock owning the bragging rights by raising the most money for the cause giving back $18,790. This year DC is even further committed to supporting Movember by offering the Ponto sandal, that was designed to reflect the 2008 tag line, "United We Believe" with a portion of the proceeds ($5 of every sandal sold) going directly back to Movember. DC will also host online consumer contests.
"Movember is a great way for all to have some fun while supporting and raising awareness of Men's Health", said Nick Adcock. "Everyone at DC had a ball participating last year and can't wait to 'get growing' again this year."
There are a few ways to get involved and support the cause for Movember 2008. Check it out:
You can purchase the limited Movember Ponto sandal and be a part of this global effort. $5 of every pair goes straight to Movember. Go here to visit the DC Webstore and score a pair now, or visit one of the Australia retailers carrying the sandal.

How The Movember Movement Began
Movember, an Australian non-profit organization, was born in 2003 when a couple of Australian mates were enjoying a beer at a small bar in Melbourne and decided two things - men's health issues needed a forum and the moustache was in dire need of a comeback. Their goal was to create a campaign that joined like-minded individuals while raising money for charity and having fun along the way.
Since 2003, Movember has turned into a truly global movement. In 2007, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Spain joined their Aussie counterparts by participating in the campaign. Since Movember's inception, almost 200,000 Mo Bros have sported a Mo and more than $29 million has been raised globally for prostate cancer research, including $740,568 raised in the United States last year. Movember is the biggest international event supporting prostate cancer.

California Credit Unions Give on International Credit Union Day
Credit Unions for Kids will be receiving a healthy donation from Los Angeles-area credit union members on International Credit Union Day.
Xceed Financial is celebrating by donating 25 cents to Credit Unions for Kids each time a member swipes their debit or credit card on Thursday. Credit Unions for Kids is a nationwide alliance of credit unions supporting Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
The $751 million credit union based in El Segundo, Calif., is joining three other California credit unions – the $340 million SkyOne FCU in Hawthorne, the $2.5 billion Wescom CU in Pasadena and the $1.1 billion California CU in Glendale – in the effort.
Children's Miracle Network is the world's largest children's charity, supporting 170 hospitals in the United States and Canada. The donations will go directly to local hospitals to fund life-saving research and technologies.
"It's just another way to give back to the Children's Netwok," said Astrid Rives, chief marketing officer for SkyOne. "International Credit Union Day is the perfect day for our members and employees to help those in need."

In the past I have defended Andrea Bargnani and hoped that he would reach the lofty expectations that we set for him when we drafted him 1st overall. However over the years, the disappointment and frustration starts to set in when we consider Andrea and his inconsistency. Even I would be satisfied with trading Bargnani if it makes the team better. The recent run that the raptors had while Andrea was injured makes a case for the "addition by subtraction" argument, where people believe that just getting rid of him will improve our team. But I am not among those that believe he is a useless player, I think that we finally have a coach that is willing to hold him accountable, and BC has finally realized that we cannot ask Andrea to do too much. Trading him would be an option worth considering if we can do it by significantly improving our team. I would like to present the argument that Andrea can be a tremendously effective player as a 6th man in this league.
I will start by comparing his number's to players that are considered elite 6th men in todays NBA. I know the numbers argument does not meet the "eye test", however numbers do not lie, and when making an objective comparison it is good to base things on fact rather than opinion. We are not shy about expressing our opinions, and we express them often enough on these forums.
We will compare Bargnani's career numbers with Jason Terry, J. R Smith, and Jamal Crawford. I think we can all agree that these players have made a living being 6th men, and have been invaluable to their respective teams over the years. None of these players is known for their defense, which plays well into Andrea's style of play because it is no secret that defense is not one of his forte's, however the role of the 6th man is to fill the basket which is something that these players do exceptionally well. No one can deny that Andrea Bargnani can score the basketball. For this reason I will focus on offensive statistics.
Player Pts Field Goal% 3pt% Min.
Jason Terry 15.9 44.7 37.9 33.4
J.R Smith 12.8 42.5 36.8 24.8
Jamal Crawford 15.3 40.9 34.8 31.7
A. Bargnani 15.5 43.8 36.2 30.6
As you can see, the only player who is an elite 6th man who is more efficient than Andrea Bargnani overall is Jason Terry. Andrea, however, has averaged about the same amount of points as Terry in almost 3 less minutes per game. Once again we are comparing him to the BEST 6th men in the league right now. This leads me to believe that he can flourish in this role.
It is not true that the raptors have never played well with Bargnani in the lineup there have been stretches in the past where we played exceptionally well. The mistake in my opinion is asking Bargnani to do too much, trying to make him a leader or franchise player on this team is not realistic. As a role player though Bargnani can be very valuable, he is incredibly skilled for his size, and is a unique offensive player in this league. He causes mismatches, he stretches the floor, and can give other teams fits.
Now many will say that this is not a fair comparison because bargnani is putting up career low's in offensive numbers this year, perhaps he has forgotten how to score the basketball? Let's take a look at his numbers this year:
16pts a game shooting 39.8% FG and and 31.9% 3PT%.
These numbers in terms of efficiency look very similiar to a player that members of this forum would love to trade for by the name of Rudy Gay who averages:
17.9pts a game shooting 41.3% and 30.8% from 3PT.
The good thing about Bargnani is that we don't have to trade anyone to get these numbers, he is already on our team! We just need him to get healthy.
For those that believe that our current run while he was injured is the only proof that we need to declare that our team will be better without Andrea Bargnani, I would like to remind everyone that a few years ago the raptors came together as a team and played great basketball for a long stretch while Chris Bosh was injured, this did not mean that our team was better without Bosh as we later found out after we traded him.
To be clear, I am not against trading Bargnani, if we can get something valuable that legitimately helps the team, then I am all for it. However, trading him for the sake of trading him does not make sense, until we can at least see how he would respond to a role as 6th man.
That being said, I am very excited about the raptors 2nd unit once we get healthy:
PG: K. Lowry (or Calderon)
SG: Terrence Ross
SF: Alan Anderson
PF: Andrea Bargnani
C: Amir Johnson
I think this 2nd unit will outplay 90% of the 2nd units in the league. Lowry/Calderon is an elite 2nd unit PG. Bargnani can cause problems, Ross is oozing with potential, Johnson is a great 2 way player who is consistent, and Alan Anderson continues to impress. I for one cannot wait until Bargnani and JV get healthy so we can see how this plays out. If the team doesn't respond well to Bargnani at the 6th man, then trade him before the deadline, but not until a great deal presents itself, we have waited this long, lets see how this plays itself out.
What do you guys think?

The thing about issuing a threat is that carrying it out can be ugly business. Such is the case with the $85 billion in across-the-board cuts that will be triggered on Friday should Congress and President Barack Obama continue their impasse on budget negotiations. Aside from being a big word flavored with political finger-pointing and grandstanding, sequestration has very real implications for each state - and its residents - and Colorado is no exception.
The state stands to face $85 million in automatic cuts that will be spread across education, military readiness, clean air, water and wildlife protection, public health, law enforcement and other programs. As is to be expected with universal cuts, the impacts of decreased federal funding will be felt far and wide by Coloradans. It is not surprising, but it serves to bring the Washington, D.C.-based rhetoric of blame and record of inaction home in a painful way.
The dollars boil down to very real jobs and essential services. Under sequestration, an $8.4 million reduction in federal funding would translate to approximately 120 primary and secondary teacher and aide positions threatened, as well as funding for 40 schools and 12,000 students. Teachers and staff that help children with disabilities would lose $8.1 million in funding, 700 Colorado children would lose Head Start services, and college students would have fewer work study options available. Those diminished programs will have far-reaching implications on educational outcomes, to say nothing of the jobs they currently provide.
Military readiness takes the biggest hit in Colorado under sequestration, primarily through decreased spending for Army and Air Force operations in the state which would lose $57 million and $8 million, respectively. Roughly 12,000 civilian Department of Defense employees in Colorado would be out of work as well. In a state with more than 2.5 million people employed, those are not staggering numbers, but they are not insignificant. The lost jobs would mean a payroll reduction of $68.5 million - a total that would reverberate throughout the state's economy in decreased spending.
Reduced federal funding for clean air and water programs, as well as such important public health functions as disaster and infectious disease response and substance abuse prevention and treatment, could have profound effects on individuals' lives and those of their families. The same is true for law enforcement programs that support crime victims, prevention and prosecution and other public safety initiatives.
The conversation around sequestration has disproportionately centered around whose bad idea the concept was and who is to blame for not fixing the problem as it the Feb. 28 deadline looms ever closer. Absent from this discussion is a path to fixing it - a gap that is glaringly apparent to governors from both political parties across the nation. As the numbers show, these leaders will have some significant holes to fill come Friday. The governors and their constituents are right to demand better from the lawmakers in Washington, D.C., who set the stage for this latest avoidable mishap. What remains unclear is whether those in Congress or the White House will answer that call before the threat they made comes due. The mess they made is theirs, but we will all suffer for it.

It has only been four months since the first DirectX 11 video cards hit the market using GPUs from ATI, the graphics division of AMD. The Radeon HD 5800 series using the Cypress core not only featured exceptional performance, but support for the new standard. Video cards using the new chip sold out almost immediately, and ATI's 5800 sales have been constrained by TSMC's production problems until early December. Supply has risen since then and 5800 series Radeons are now readily available.
The company released the performance mainstream Radeon HD 5700 series in October using a new 40nm chip codenamed Juniper. The smaller chip meant that yields were higher and prices were lower, and many gamers upgrading during the holiday shopping season picked up one of those cards.
On the other hand, the Radeon HD 5970 has been sold out since launch. The most powerful video card in the world has been highly sought after since it was launched in November. ATI has told DailyTech that there should be more 5970s hitting the market soon now that there are more Cypress chips available.
The company also launched its DirectX 11 Mobility Radeon lineup yesterday, with a full range of discrete GPU options ranging from the enthusiast to the mainstream. Those GPUs will be mostly paired up with new 32nm Intel Arrandale CPUs.
DailyTech was at an AMD event last night where the company disclosed that it had sold over 2 million DirectX 11 GPUs, forming a pretty large product base for DX11 game developers that is still steadily growing. A specially commissioned Radeon cake was the highlight of the night.
The ATI Radeon HD 5870 also won the CES 2010 Best of Innovations award in the Computer Hardware category.

The eyes, like all other parts of the body, need to be nourished properly to function at their best. In particular, two degenerative conditions of the eye have been linked to nutritional factors. Since the body cannot synthesize the nutrients it needs to fight off eye problems, and since most people do not eat enough fruits and vegetables with important eye nutrients, it is becoming critical to take supplements to maintain optimal eye health.*
Lindberg Ultimate Eye Formula contains the most potent ingredients to support eye health. Bilberry may help against fatigue, reduce eye irritation, extend range of vision sharpness and support night vision due to its anthocyanosides content. Blueberry has a similar effect. Lutein, a carotenoid present in the macular region of the eye, can filter out damaging ultraviolet light and protect against oxidative free radical damage.*
With chronic eye conditions continuing to rise as more elderly individuals live longer, it is vital to support the eyes early on to function for the rest of your life.
Lutein, along with its isomer zeaxanthin, are natural powerful antioxidants in the carotenoid family that promotes eye health.* Bilberries, native to northern Europe, are a natural source of anthocyanins and other nutrients that have been used for centuries to support eye and vision health.*
Our powerful Ultimate Eye Formula supports eye health with a single capsule daily.* The proprietary, low-heat, solvent-free manufacturing process makes our formula different from all other bilberry products on the market. Our Bio-Shield Technology concentrates, protects and controls the release of the important nutrients that otherwise could easily be damaged during processing or in the stomach. This full spectrum formula also features blueberry concentrate, an additional rich source of anthocyanin compounds.

Just when you thought it could not get any worse for AMD,
someone throws another gallon of gasoline on the fire to stoke the flames.
Earlier this week, DailyTech reported
that AMD intends to cut
1,600 jobs by year's end to improve its financials.
AMD, which has yet to release its first quarter earnings, issued
guidance suggesting that its Q1 revenues will come in 15% lower than the year ago
period at about $1.5B USD. AMD experienced losses in every sector of its
business and we'll be able to see the full damage report once the official
tally is brought down from Sunnyvale, CA.
In the mean time, the company today lost its Chief
Technology Officer (CTO) and Senior Vice President, Phil Hester. According to
AMD's bio on Hester, which has since been removed from the site, he was
"responsible for setting the architectural and product strategies and
plans for AMD's microprocessor business." Hester also chaired AMD's
Technology Council.
According to MarketWatch,
Hester wishes to "pursue other opportunities" in his absence from
AMD. Strangely, AMD says that there will be no replacement for Hester at the CTO position.
Hester's departure couldn't have come at a worse time for
AMD. AMD is just now trying to gain some traction after shipping B3
Opterons sans the TLB
bug that made the news circuits in December 2007.
AMD hopes to push its Opteron and Phenom processors based on
a 65nm manufacturing to 2.6GHz by the fall of 2008. 45nm Shanghai
processors will have to wait until early 2009 if all things go according to
schedule for AMD.
