2006 Chevy Silverado - Western Alliance
Dropping a Silverado in Style
Our Fantastic Four series has been showcasing many manufacturers and products for your trucks. We've seen quite a few of the truck models that readers have been asking about, and this month we'll be looking into taking some daylight out from underneath an '06 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab two-wheel drive. We talked to Sport Truck Direct in Phoenix and ordered a Western Chassis 4/6-drop with Air Lift Slam Air Load helper 'bags. Continental laid a set of 265/35R22 ContiCrossContact UHP tires on us and we stuffed some 22x9-1/2-inch American Racing Cryptic Black wheels into them. Feeding our addiction for more power, we sought Volant's fully enclosed cold-air intake and one of its polished stainless after-cat exhaust systems. Being the only truck magazine that matters didn't make us superstars; as during this build we had a shop begging for some exposure but didn't return any of our calls. With no time left to get this truck finished, we fell back on the professionals at HTS Innovative Design in Simi Valley, California. HTS received a phone call on Friday evening and had our truck on the rack first thing Saturday morning. Now that's what we call super customer service
From The Driver SeatProblems, stutter steps, and general trip-ups seemed to pop up too often with this assembly. If you noticed, we made absolutely no mention of the Slam Air Load carrying kit. Although advertised by Sport Truck Direct as a bolt-on with the Western Chassis kit, it is in fact only a bolt-on for the Belltech C-notch setup. The hardware holes aren't even close to aligning correctly with the Western Chassis C-notch-and for that reason-the Air Lift Slam Air kit is still in the box. This Chevy tows a boat during the summer and a motorcycle trailer during the cooler months, so this modification is mandatory and we will put it on; although the mounts will have to be entirely customized from scratch. We love the transmission crossmember, but no mention of the part was referenced in the directions or the fact that we had to cut and weld steel into place to make the framerails truly flat. Western Chassis' flip kit worked just fine, but our Crew Cab's driveshaft hits one of the frame crossmembers on the upstroke long before the axle contacted the bumpstops. By our own fault, we had to extensively cut the front inner fenders to allow suspension clearance for our chosen tires, as well as cut and flare the rear bed sides so they did not drag on the tire sidewalls. Now, the truck can be driven, but the tires bottom out against the front inner fenders before the lower A-arm contacts the bumpstops. Slow and low is how this Chevy rolls. Western Chassis offers a 3/5 drop kit that would have been better suited for our wheel and tire size. Volant's equipment went on flawlessly and added power without noise; and that is new for us. So, we must be getting old because we like it like that. The Continental tires worked out perfect in this build, as the tires were actually designed for a truck and not a car. Load ratings are way above normal for a tire this size and not that our truck could get there, but the tires are Y-rated for sustained speeds as much as 186 mph. Yeehaw!

Austin Siadlak: An Inspiring Filmmaker
Posted by Carly Machlis in Alumni, School of Arts and Sciences, Technology, Video on November 26, 2012
When Austin Siadak, A10, graduated from Tufts, he decided to pursue a different path than most of his peers. A post-college desk job left him hankering for more, so Siadlak promptly changed paths and found his home among the mountains and valleys of the western United States. A hiking and climbing enthusiast, Siadlak fuses his passion for the outdoors with his interest in videography by working for Seattle media company Duct Tape Then Beer, where he has created an impressive portfolio of short narrative films.
Siadlak's latest film tells the inspiring story of Chris DeMartino, Jarem Frye, and Pete Davis, three disabled climbers who defied all odds by successfully summiting the steep, treacherous, and notoriously difficult El Capitan rock formation in Yosemite National Park. Siadlak beautifully captures the impressive vistas of Yosemite–coupled with the raw anxieties of the three hikers–to give viewers a film that's wrought with emotion, as well as uplifting hope for the future of disabled climbers.

Americans and a British woman were among the terrorists who attacked a Nairobi shopping mall, killing more than 60 people, Kenya's foreign minister said today.
Amina Mohamed said the attackers included "two or three Americans" and "one Brit". She told the PBS NewsHour programme that the Americans were 18 to 19 years old, of Somali or Arab origin and lived "in Minnesota and one other place" in the US. The Briton was a woman who has "done this many times before", she said.
Her comments came as Kenyan security forces battled al Qaida-linked terrorists in the upmarket mall for a fourth day in what they said was a final push to rescue the last few hostages in a siege that has left at least 62 people dead.
Despite Kenyan government assurances of success on Twitter, another explosion and more gunfire could be heard coming from the mall at around 6.30am local time today, reporters at the scene said. Security forces carried a body out of the mall, which remained on fire, with flames and smoke visible.
While the government announced that "most" hostages had been released, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 were still being held by a band of attackers described as "a multinational collection from all over the world".
US officials said they were looking into whether any Americans were involved. A state Department spokeswoman said the department had "no definitive evidence of the nationalities or the identities" of the attackers.
The security expert said many hostages had been freed or escaped in the previous 24-36 hours, including some who were in hiding. But there were at least 30 hostages when the assault by al-Shabab militants began on Saturday, he said, and "it's clear" that Kenyan security officials "haven't cleared the building fully".
Somalia's al Qaida-linked rebel group, al-Shabab, which claimed responsibility for the attack, said the hostage-takers were well-armed and ready to take on the Kenyan forces.
Flames and dark plumes of smoke rose above the Westgate complex for more than an hour yesterday after four large explosions rocked the surrounding neighbourhood.
The explosions were followed by volleys of gunfire as police helicopters and a military jet circled overhead, giving the neighbourhood the feel of a war zone.
By evening, Kenyan security officials claimed the upper hand. "Taken control of all the floors. We're not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and punish them," police inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter.
Kenya's interior minister Joseph Ole Lenku said the evacuation of hostages had gone "very, very well" and that Kenyan officials were "very certain" that few if any hostages were left in the building.
But with the mall cordoned off and under heavy security it was not possible to independently verify the assertions. Similar claims of a quick resolution were made by Kenyan officials on Sunday and the siege continued. Authorities have also not provided any details on how many hostages were freed or how many still remain captive.
Three attackers were killed in the fighting yesterday, authorities said, and more than 10 suspects arrested. Eleven Kenyan soldiers were wounded in the running gun battles.
An al-Shabab spokesman, Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage, said in an audio file posted on a militant website that the attackers had been ordered to "take punitive action against the hostages" if force was used to try to rescue them.
A Western security official in Nairobi said the only reason the siege had not yet ended would be because hostages were still inside.
Westgate mall, a vast complex with multiple banks that have secure vaults and bulletproof glass partitions, as well as a casino, was difficult to take, the official said. "They are not made for storming," he said of the labyrinth of shops, restaurants and offices. "They're made to be unstormable."
At least 62 people were killed in the assault by 12 to 15 al-Shabab militants wielding grenades and firing on civilians inside the mall, which includes shops for such retail giants as Nike, Adidas and Bose and is popular with foreigners and wealthy Kenyans.
The militants specifically targeted non-Muslims, and at least 18 foreigners were among the dead, including six Britons, as well as citizens from France, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Peru, India, Ghana, South Africa and China. Nearly 200 people were wounded, including five Americans.
Fighters from an array of nations participated in the assault, according to Kenya's chief of defence forces General Julius Karangi. "We have an idea who these people are and they are clearly a multinational collection from all over the world," he said.
Al-Shabab, whose name means "The Youth" in Arabic, said the mall attack was in retribution for Kenyan forces' 2011 push into neighbouring Somalia. It was the deadliest terrorist attack in Kenya since the 1998 al Qaida truck bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi, which killed more than 200 people.
An extremist Islamic terrorist force that grew out of the anarchy that crippled Somalia after warlords ousted a long-time dictator in 1991, al-Shabab is estimated to have several thousand fighters, including a few hundred foreigners, among them militants from the Middle East with experience in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Others are young, raw recruits from Somali communities in the United States and Europe.
Ms Mohamed said Kenya needed to work with other governments to fight the increasing terrorist threat and "much more with the US and the UK, because both the victims and the perpetrators came from Kenya, the United Kingdom and the United States. From the information we have, two or three Americans and so far I've heard of one Brit".
She added: "That just goes to underline the global nature of this war that we are fighting."
Somali president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said the attack showed that al-Shabab was a threat not just to Somalia but to the international community.
Kenyans in many parts of the country stood in long lines yesterday to donate blood to aid the nearly 200 people injured in the attack.

Taylor Swift felt she had kept fans waiting long enough and early this morning (Aug. 11) finally revealed what the heck is going on.
Swift revealed three clues last week—the first clue was an Instagram video of her repeatedly pushing an elevator button to the 18th floor, the second was her adorable cat Olivia Benson and the third was just the Yahoo! search bar—but today on Twitter she revealed that, with a little help from Yahoo!, she's having a worldwide livestream for all her fans.
Related: Watch Taylor Swift Sing with a Young Cancer Patient in Boston
The event is set to take place on August 18 at 5 pm EST/2 pm PST in New York City.
In the tweet with a link to her website, Swift asked fans "Did you guess right?" along with the hashtag
#TaylorSwiftYahoo7days. So did you?
Swift is also calling on fans to join her at the livestream by signing up here for a chance to win a spot in the audience.

UK Intellectual Property Office representative made an important
revelation to online publication ComputerActive, commenting,
"ACTA should not introduce new intellectual property laws or
offences. Instead, it should provide a framework to better enforce
existing law."That stance is very significant as the EU
and U.S. governments, at the behest
of copyright holders in the music and video industry, are
pushing a treaty called
ACTA which allows its member states to adopt not only fines,
but prison time for those who fileshare.Details of the plan
to criminalize filesharing just leaked thanks to a citizen advocacy
group La Quadrature du Net. The document, found here [PDF],
is entitled "ACTA Chapter 2 Criminal Provisions".The
new proposal would criminalize "infringements that have no
direct or indirect motivation of financial gain" -- which
currently would be considered a petty civil offense in most
countries. The language about criminalization states "each
party shall provide for effective proportionate and dissuasive
penalties" to include "imprisonment and monetary
fines".Britain's decision to back down from supporting
the most-extreme U.S. and EU proposed copyright enforcement measures
is a blow to these governments and the corporate lobbyists that
support them. Under the Obama and George W. Bush
administrations, the U.S. secretly
brokered the ACTA treaty without informing the general
public. The EU similarly cooperated in secret
negotiations. Only recently were the some of the
terms revealed, in preparation for the measure to go before the U.S.
House and Senate and EU Parliament to become law. And as this
most recent leak, shows, there may be more than a few surprises in
store, in the form of still undisclosed proposals.Britain has
also indicated that it would also likely decline to enforce the
provision against language "inciting and aiding" piracy.
That provision could impose criminal or civil fines for those who
write supportively about piracy, essentially silencing their free
speech. The U.S. is allegedly one of the nations considering
the measure. A Netherlands court already ruled
against a newsgroup which had the locations of torrents
posted in plaintext -- a seemingly strange decision, considering
Google.com and other search engines provide direct links. Such
decisions to abridge free speech in the name of anti-piracy may be
only the first of many court battles to come.Jérémie
Zimmermann, spokesperson for La Quadrature du Net comments,
"The ACTA agreement, by its opacity and undemocratic nature,
allows criminal sanctions to be simply negotiated. The leaked
document shows that the EU Member States are willing to impose prison
sanctions for non-commercial usages of copyrighted works on the
Internet as well as for 'inciting and aiding', a notion so broad
that it could cover any Internet service or speech questioning
copyright policies."Previously published materials on
the ACTA bill also reveal that it creates a new kind of crime called
"imminent infringement" -- which could bring punishment to
those who haven't even infringed. An example of such a
thought-crime would be if you searched "torrent daft punk"
in Google. The U.S. and copyright holders argue that if it can
be shown you were thinking about committing piracy you've as much as
committed a crime already.The music and film industry
continue to press towards their dream of one day having the bill of
copyright infringement be footed by citizens, to ban backup copies,
and ban free speech in support of piracy.

Dear Mike,
So you regularly use %1RM with all lifts, that's a given, as expressed as the max amount of wt lifted for a particular lift, or off of a max clean for 1 proficient rep.
So I'm wondering, when you go heavy you may, as an e.g., follow this for front squats: 65%1RM x 3 sets x 3 reps; 70%1RM x 2 sets x 2 reps; 85% x 4 sets x 4 reps (actual sets).
But... if you're having a medium or light intensity day, would you then need to work from two percentages? A percentage off of your 85%1RM, such as for e.g., say 1RM front squat is 10kg, then the above 85% of 1RM would be 8.5kg, but to go medium intensity you may have the athlete work only at say 50% of his above 85%1RM on this day. Therefore, 50% of 85% would only be 2 reps instead of 4 reps?
So to summarise this example, the athlete could perform 1 rep at 10kg as a 1RM test, but on the first heavy plan he/she performs 4 reps per set at 85%1RM, then on the medium day the athlete still works at 85%1RM but only performs half the reps per set.
Hummm, not sure if Im explaining myself correctly, but Im basically wondering how you work off percentages when going medium or light in a programme? Let's try this: Because, as soon as you go above singles (as you easily calculate a chosen percentage of intensity for a single), then surely you need to calculate a percentage off of a 1RM percentage when going lighter so you know mathematically how lighter or less intense youre actually going? (So another way to look at it say 85% of 85%1RM for the medium day but instead of looking at reducing reps you reduce wt: 8.5kg x 85% (medium intensity) = 7.2kg x the 4 sets x the 4 reps as above???) Now the athlete is performing at 85% of the wt of 85%1RM so this is medium intensity... How would you express all this please, Mike?
My best regards, Joe.
the problem with mathematics is that it really does not take into consideration the lifter. the only reason i publish % on my site is because i am not working with a particular individual. if i wanted to go to a heavy-light-medium program with a person i was working with i would have that athlete go heavy as in a 2 rm or 1 rm for the day....then back him off to flushing sets...i.e. 90% of the wt. attained for today x 1 x 2-3 sets....then maybe 85% of the wt. attained for the day x 1-2 reps x 2-3 sets. then on the light day i would watch that individual and decide for today what is light....it maybe at 60% or maybe today it might be 55% who knows....depends on the individual with whom i am working. same goes with the medium. but of course because i cannot work wtih everyone on my site i use % but i do know that 85% of a 1 rm for 4 reps is freeking heavy in theory!!
hope this helps,

Just wanted to know if anyone is watching the games?
Just wanted to know if anyone is watching the games?
Rumor has it that P. Scrubb has already been invited to a handful of NBA camps this off season. Probably a good chance to have a quick look at him if you have the time to check his game.
EDIT: Pretty sure that the Grantland article on Carleton mentions the rumor.
no .... and no
There's math, and everything else is debatable.
There's math, and everything else is debatable.
There's math, and everything else is debatable.
Carleton is incredible... The first year they won their first national title I was in first year university there. I would watch games in awe. People talk about the spurs being a well oiled machine, but I've NEVER seen a team play with that level of execution. They've won 9 of 11 of the past national championships and it's not because they have the more talented team (although often they do). I've seen them play US D-1 schools, been up 30 points, or down 20, over the course of seasons, and they always play the say way. It's crazy. The focus that Dave Smart gets out of his players is crazy. Everyone on the team knows there role, and everyone does what they're supposed to, and nothing that they aren't. It's just awesome.
I know it won't happen, but I really wish the NCAA would let the Ravens play a single game elimination to be a 16 seed. They'd win every play-in game. They'd obviously lose to the #1 seed but they'd make a game out of it.
I know this is going to come off as homerism, but anytime a team can win consistently for 11 years with basically 3 full roster turnovers without ever skipping a beat, that's just crazy.
Dave Smart is an assistant on the Men's National Team, and I'm positive he'll be the next head coach if/when Triano's time is up. He is a great coach.

Sorry, but YAPC America is my last Perl conference.

Interesting that you're saying that to me and not to Mark.

H-P's Meg Whitman Receives $15.4 MillionProxy Filing
By BEN WORTHEN
In Meg Whitman's first full year on the job as Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ -2.48% chief executive, she received compensation valued at $15.4 million, according to H-P's proxy filing Friday.
For H-P's 2012 fiscal year, which ended Oct. 31, Ms. Whitman's compensation was largely in the form of stock awards and options, as her base salary was $1. Her bonus of $1.7 million was less than her target of $2.4 million.
Ms. Whitman took over as H-P CEO in September 2011, and has tried to turn around the struggling company. Among other things, she reversed her predecessor's decision to spin out H-P's PC division and is cutting about 29,000 jobs.

Some top H-P executives saw their total compensation fall in 2012 as the company fell short of targets amid declining revenue and profits.
In its proxy, H-P also sponsored a proposal that would give large shareholders the right to nominate directors, a widely expected move that is a big victory for activists.
The Palo Alto, Calif., technology company last year agreed to put the proposal on its annual proxy statement as part of an agreement with Amalgamated Bank's LongView Fund, which owned about 400,000 H-P shares at the time of the February 2012 deal.
Amalgamated Bank had planned to bring the measure up at H-P's 2012 meeting but a spokesman said last year that it would instead allow H-P to submit the proposal itself this year.
If the measure is approved at H-P annual meeting to be held March 20, shareholders who own 3% or more of the company for at least three years will be allowed to nominate directors.
H-P's board has come under scrutiny in recent years for spying on reporters, forcing out several chief executives, and the ill-fated acquisition of software maker Autonomy, which H-P later accused of accounting irregularities. Autonomy's former chief has denied the allegations.
An H-P spokesman had no comment on the filing.
How did Obama miss this one?
Don't invest in poorly-run long-failing companies.
So she received a bunch of stock awards and options from a company which is trending downward and may eventually fail. Her actual salary and bonus was small compared to other CEO's in the industry.
What is the point here?
Don't see a problem. HP had a bad year. Projected to do well starting this quarter.
Don't own it but good balance sheet. Out of biz? Not anytime soon. Dell first. Frankly Microsoft stinks worse.
Its capitalism, no?
Haters gonna hate.
Couple points:
Michael Dell is shopping Dell to a couple private equity firms ( ala Bain). He knows the party is over and wants OUT. PE means the end of the lone.
Microsoft has not been any good since Bill Gates decided he wanted to do the foundation thing. Steve Ballmer is not good. MS did not even both to attend the National Consumer Electronics show> Not a good sign for new products. The stock is a bowser. It's lower ( a lot) than when I sold it 14 years ago.
Microsoft was for years the premier name in computing. Apple and Google have claimed the mantle and Microsoft seems like a dinosaur by caparison. How many people are buying MS Office when Google has all of those services provided free (google docs etc.) Do you know anyone that has the new Windows platform for their Smartphone/Tablet? No. That also works on a Droid OS so not really Microsoft anyway.

First off, windows phones run on a mobile version of the windows operating system. Android, is a completely different operating system developed by Google. Perhaps i'm not understanding you on this point.
Microsoft office still dominates the business sector. Excel offers features Google doesn't, and people have been trained to use a version of it for 10+ years. Eventually that may change, but at the moment if you need spreadsheet software Excel is your best bet 90% of the time.
Microsoft also plays a huge role in the gaming scene. Xbox has sold as many units as the PS3, but creates significantly more revenue as they provide subscription services, and take huge cuts of arcade and DLC sales. They also completely dominate the competitive gaming console scene, which is small but provides free advertisements and helps drive sales and excitement for their next hardware offering.
Lastly the overwhelming majority of laptops and desktop computers still run on windows. I don't see that changing any time soon.
I agree they've fallen behind Google and Apple and are no longer the uncontested giant in the tech industry... but they're still kinda a big deal. Also i question Apple's staying power. Right now their sales are driven primarily on past reputation and Hype. The GalaxyS3 really is significantly better than the iphone5, and beat it to market to boot. Most of the advantages they had over the Windows operating system in terms of performance or usability have deteriorated with the release of windows 7, and while more programs run on Mac these days, Windows still holds a big advantage there. Oh yeah... and a windows PC of similar performance is significantly cheaper in most cases.
The company was run by a sex abuser and then Carly Fiorina. She got fired at Boeing and AT&T before HP. A quota hire. Twp losers.
Whitman is a pretty decent manager. HP is not in bad shape at all. In perspective they are TWICE as big as J&J.
Don't own HP or any tech stock. But it is in a fair position. I recall IBM being on the ropes a few years ago - several bad years. Brought in a tough CEO = back on top. HP has mass market, not niche products.
What's Gone Wrong With H-P?
A Lengthy Turnaround Plan Will Require CEO Stability, Responsible Spending and Refresh of Products
By BEN WORTHEN
Wall Street Journal, Nov. 6, 2012
In 2010, Hewlett-Packard Co.'s HPQ -0.76% then-chief executive Mark Hurd boasted the company was "the largest IT company in the world" and said "we are still not to our full potential."
Two years and two CEOs later, H-P is stumbling. Over that time, the Palo Alto, Calif., company's market capitalization has fallen to less than $30 billion from more than $100 billion. On Friday, H-P's shares hit a new 10-year low.
Current CEO Meg Whitman has said H-P—which sells tech products including personal computers, printers, servers and consulting services—is now saddled with outdated products, poor internal processes and has "no silver bullets" for a rebound. She predicts profits will fall again next year and that H-P won't achieve meaningful growth until at least 2015.
An H-P spokesman said the company has a turnaround plan and has "put a strong leadership team in place," among other moves.
Here's a look at H-P's problems, and how the company plans to fix them:
Revolving Door at the Top
Four CEOs have run H-P since 2005. Each brought his or her own executives, often from outside the company. More than two dozen executives ranked senior vice president or higher have left in the last two years alone.
At an event for financial analysts last month, Ms. Whitman called the constant change at the top "the single biggest challenge facing H-P." The churn, she said, "has caused multiple inconsistent strategic choices" and "significant executional miscues."
In 2005, for example, then-CEO Carly Fiorina combined H-P's personal-computer business with its printer business. Ms. Fiorina was replaced later that year by Mr. Hurd, who split the two businesses up.
After Mr. Hurd was ousted in 2010, his successor Leo Apotheker, announced a plan to spin off the PC business. That was reversed by Ms. Whitman after she became CEO in 2011.
Meanwhile, the various CEOs have laid off—or pledged to cut—about 75,000 workers since 2005. Ms. Whitman herself has plans to lay off upwards of 29,000 employees, more than 8% of H-P's total 349,000-person workforce.
Given the constant reshuffling, H-P's employee morale has collapsed. A decade-plus of pay cuts and layoffs have left many rank-and-file employees distrustful of H-P's leadership, said Kimberly Elsbach, a professor at the business school at University of California, Davis, who recently wrote a case study of H-P. "There's an anxiety that permeates the workforce that has a chronic impact on people," she said.
H-P's fix-it strategy: Even as she cuts the workforce, Ms. Whitman has said that stable leadership will result in a consistent strategy and boost morale over time. She has pledged to remain CEO.
Lack of Investments
Mr. Hurd steadily increased H-P's profits—but he did so partly by cutting spending on programs that could have set the company up for future growth. Research and development spending, for instance, fell from $3.5 billion a year before he took the helm to $3 billion the year he left.
Among the areas where Mr. Hurd cut most aggressively was the services business, eliminating thousands of the employees brought over from a $13 billion purchase of outsourcing giant Electronic Data Systems Corp. in 2008. EDS's outsourcing model required massive investments in facilities, equipment and people, and relied on large, long-term contracts.
In 2011, Mr. Apotheker said the business didn't have the skills it needed to compete for high-end contracts.
More recently, four of the unit's biggest customers didn't renew deals. Unlike H-P's PC or printer businesses where the company can order fewer parts when sales slump, the services business is made up of thousands of consultants. Getting costs in line with revenue means cutting jobs, but that can form a vicious cycle.
"In the technology business, cost cutting is not a great long-term strategy," said Rob Cihra, an analyst at Evercore Partners EVR +1.25% .
At last month's analyst meeting, Ms. Whitman said H-P's past cuts to product development was hurting the company. She highlighted a fast-growing segment of the printer market where H-P hadn't updated its entry for seven years.
H-P's fix-it strategy: The company plans to spend some of the savings from Ms. Whitman's 29,000 layoffs on new research and development. Ms. Whitman also has said H-P will put in place new software for managing its sales and human-resources needs and for tracking its consultants that will make the company run more efficiently.
Poor Use of Cash
Like most big tech companies, H-P has acquired new technologies. But many of its biggest purchases have fizzled, leaving the company with less cash and more debt than its rivals and effectively shutting it out of future deals.
In 2007, H-P had more than $11 billion in cash and $5 billion in debt. In four of the next six fiscal years, however, H-P spent close to twice the amount of its free cash flow on acquisitions, such as the 2008 deal to buy outsourcing giant EDS and share repurchases.
At the end of its most recent quarter, H-P had just $9.5 billion in cash and more than $24 billion in long-term debt.
H-P's cash is well below that of its rivals—Oracle Corp. ORCL -0.21% has $32 billion and Cisco Systems Inc. CSCO +0.07% has $49 billion, for example—and it is among the few major tech companies to have more debt than cash.
Neither H-P's buybacks nor acquisitions have panned out.
H-P wrote off $8 billion of the $13 billion EDS deal earlier this year. In 2010, H-P also spent $1.2 billion to acquire mobile-device maker Palm, but shut down the unit and wrote it off a year later.
Last year, H-P paid more than $10 billion to acquire software maker Autonomy, but has already said sales in that business are declining.
Meanwhile, H-P spent more than $20 billion in the last few years to buy and retire its own shares. Yet the stock recently hit its lowest level in a decade.
Credit-rating agency Moody'sMCO +0.09% has said it is reviewing H-P for a possible downgrade, which might make it harder for the tech company to borrow and harm its ability to finance deals for customers.
H-P's fix-it strategy: Ms. Whitman has said H-P must pay off debt and build up its cash balance before it makes any big deals. The company has slowed share repurchases, even as its stock has declined.
Through the first nine months of 2012, H-P only bought back $1.5 billion of its stock—and just $365 million in the most recent quarter—while generating $6.5 billion in cash.
Declining Product Lines
Each of H-P's major businesses is in the midst of an industry-wide decline—and the company is losing share to boot. Worldwide personal computer sales fell more than 8% in the most recent quarter, as consumers gravitated to tablets and smartphones. H-P's share of the PC market fell to 15.9% in the third quarter from 17.4% a year earlier, according to research firm IDC.
Printer sales slid 3% in the most recent quarter as people print less; server sales also fell 3% as business embrace online services that don't require hardware purchases. H-P's server business has also been hurt by a dispute with Oracle over software development for some high-end systems.
As sales have fallen, expenses have risen. In fiscal 2011, H-P increased its headcount by 25,000 employees, even as sales began declining. Through the first nine months of 2012, sales fell almost $5 billion from a year earlier to $90.4 billion, but sales-related expenses climbed.
While H-P has some compelling products, the company "is unable to communicate the value of H-P," said Martin Reynolds, an analyst at research company Gartner.
H-P's fix-it strategy: Ms. Whitman has said H-P's days of heady growth are over and she expects the company to grow in line with the economy.
She plans to increase profitability in part by eliminating many of the company's products that are similar to others such as half of its 2,100 different laser printers.
Ms. Whitman is also working to refresh the design of H-P's products, especially PCs, which is the company's biggest line.
Good observations. Astounding to advise McCain - had forgotten.
Chambers is a dolt. Larry Ellison is a good yachtman. The collection of losers at tech companies is amazing.
Try that at Coke or Procter and Gamble or Exxon. Good managers make good companies.
Whitman did well at ebay.

Swine Flu Is Definitely Over This Time (Sort of)
The major drug companies have apparently milked the Swine Flu™ pandemic for all that they could, because the World Health Organization today declared that the "H1N1 virus has largely run its course." In a statement, the Director-General said the WHO's Emergency Committee decided on this during a conference call. Oh, but wait — they've left a little nugget of doubt to make sure everyone remains vigilant:
As we enter the post-pandemic period, this does not mean that the H1N1 virus has gone away. Based on experience with past pandemics, we expect the H1N1 virus to take on the behaviour of a seasonal influenza virus and continue to circulate for some years to come.
In the post-pandemic period, localized outbreaks of different magnitude may show significant levels of H1N1 transmission.
Forget it. We're all gonna die.

MILL CREEK — It's a fun photo: Dawn Little Torres holds one foot behind her back while standing on her other foot in a yoga pose called the dancer.
All on top of a John Deere riding lawn mower.
Her dad, Joe Little, leans against the mower while sitting on his scooter at his house in Rome, Ga.
"As we're doing it, he just said, 'You're going to have this — it's going to be a great memory of the two of us,'" said Torres, who owns the Laughing Buddha Yoga Studio in Mill Creek.
The photo was taken just a few months before Little's death in February 2013. Joe Little was dying from emphysema and Torres was visiting him at his home. During much of the trip, there wasn't a lot he could do with her.
But he had seen Facebook photos of his daughter doing yoga in travels all over the world, including doing a back-bend in front of the Taj Mahal in India.
He suggested they go to the back yard for the photo op. He thought adding the riding lawn mower would bring a little bit of Georgia into the picture.
"He actually had the energy to get out of bed," Torres said. "He said, 'Let's go out and take some pictures.'"
It would probably have just remained a cherished memory until Torres saw a promotional link on Facebook from John Deere seeking people to upload their photos using the company's products. She immediately thought of the picture with herself and her dad.
She uploaded the photo with her dad's name and the caption, "Me and John Deere building the good life."
A few days ago, Torres received an email from John Deere saying the photo and hundreds of others are being used in a giant mosaic that the company is putting up on a massive projection screen during a Las Vegas convention this week. The mosaic can be seen at http://events.deere.com.
Torres loves it. And she thinks her dad would have felt the same way.
"You lose somebody you love and I feel like he's with me," Torres said. "I can still hear him laughing and I feel that he would have loved this."

On May 5, 1862, Mexican troops defeated French occupying forces in the Battle of Puebla. (The Cinco de Mayo holiday commemorates Mexico's victory.)
On this date:
In 1821, Napoleon Bonaparte, 51, died in exile on the island of St. Helena.
In 1891, New York's Carnegie Hall (then named "Music Hall") had its official opening night.
In 1914, actor Tyrone Power was born in Cincinnati.
In 1925, schoolteacher John T. Scopes was charged in Tennessee with violating a state law that prohibited teaching the theory of evolution. (Scopes was found guilty, but his conviction was later set aside.)
In 1934, the first Three Stooges short for Columbia Pictures, "Woman Haters," was released.
In 1942, wartime sugar rationing began in the United States.
In 1955, West Germany became a fully sovereign state. The baseball musical "Damn Yankees" opened on Broadway.
In 1961, astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr. became America's first space traveler as he made a 15-minute suborbital flight aboard Mercury capsule Freedom 7.
In 1964, the Granada TV documentary "Seven Up!," which profiled a group of 7-year-old British children, first aired on Britain's ITV network. (The subjects were revisited every seven years in sequels called "7 Plus Seven," "21 Up," "28 Up," etc., the latest one to date being "56 Up.")
In 1973, Secretariat won the Kentucky Derby, the first of its Triple Crown victories.
In 1981, Irish Republican Army hunger-striker Bobby Sands died at the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland in his 66th day without food.
In 1994, Singapore caned American teenager Michael Fay for vandalism, a day after the sentence was reduced from six lashes to four in response to an appeal by President Bill Clinton, who considered the punishment too harsh.
Ten years ago: Seeking to calm international outrage, President George W. Bush acknowledged mistakes but stopped short of an apology as he condemned the abuse and deaths of Iraqi prisoners at the hands of U.S. soldiers during appearances on two Arabic-language TV networks. (Bush did offer an apology the following day.) Picasso's 1905 painting "Boy with a Pipe" sold for $104 million at Sotheby's in New York, breaking the record at that time for an auctioned painting.
Five years ago: Connie Culp, America's first face transplant recipient, appeared before reporters at the Cleveland Clinic. (Culp underwent the procedure after being shot by her husband in a failed murder-suicide attempt.) Texas health officials confirmed the first death of a U.S. resident with swine flu.
One year ago: In Afghanistan, seven Americans and one German soldier were killed in three separate attacks. Former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, seriously wounded in a 2011 shooting at a Tucson, Ariz., shopping mall, received the 2013 Profile in Courage award at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston. LeBron James of the Miami Heat was the overwhelming choice as the NBA's Most Valuable Player. Brett Rumford won the China Open by four strokes to become the first Australian in 41 years to win consecutive European Tour titles.

Thread: Tow vehicle audio help requested
Tow vehicle audio help requested
This is non-boat related, but my tow vehicle.
Some background. I have replaced the entire stereo system in my 2008 Toyota Tundra. Previously base OEM. I have installed the following major components;
Pioneer AVH-P3400BH- DVD head unit
JL Audio XD700/5-amplifier
Polk Audio MM6501- 6.5 components front doors
Polk Audio MM651 6.6 coaxial rear doors.
I am using aftermarket speaker wiring from amp to speakers, 16 guage.
My problem is that I am getting a high pitch wine or hissing sound through the speakers. First though is alternator whine, but I am not certain. The noise is constant. It does not vary with engine speed. It does not vary with stereo volume. It is there with ignition on/engine off. It does go away with ONLY radio on, ignition off, engine off.
The main power cables do not share the same space as the RCA wires. I have unplugged the RCA wires from the amp, while hearing the noise, and it goes away. I am guessing the noise is from further upstream.
Before I start tearing back into it, What do the audio experts suggest?Matt
2003 Outback, Assault EFI, (6) Polk Audio DB651s, JL Audio M6600 amp, JL Audio M1700 amp, JL Audio 10w6v2 subwoofer
Not sure but sounds alot like a ground issue? You may try to ground to a different spot. An easy troubleshoot step.
2007 Moomba Outback - going, going, GONE
Why Not? Play Hard! Get wet
OK if the noise is there when the viechle is off then that eliminates cars engine electrical being the problem which is the most common hissing noise. It being constant all the time is another key factor as volume is the next cause of hissing change.
When you disconect the RCA to the amp it goes away. This also kills all sound to the speakers doesnt it? I assume you are running 1 set of RCAs to the Amp and it powers all your speakers.
You need to isolate the noise to which souce its from, Deck or Amp.
Easiest way is to try another amp, grab one out of the boat if you can just hook the wires up and see if the noise is there, if it is im going to bet you have a floating ground on the Headunit side. You should make sure the ground on the head unit is the exact same place as the factory.
If the noise is gone then you know is the amp your ruinning normally, it could also be a ground issue, but if your sure the ground you have is solid, mounted to the frame of the truck, i personaly like to use seat bolts and ground on them. Then the amp its self could be the problem.
Another idea is if your amp has the High Level inputs, small 4pin connector, its designed to allow you to plug your head units speaker wires right into it instead of RCA you can try jumping the head unit to the AMP and it will tell you if theres a problem in the RCA circuit.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.
2013 Mojo 2.5 Skylon Tower. Bestia < Beast >
Check to be sure your rca's are not anywhere near you power or ground. They should be more than 1ft away if they are parallel. They can cross each other at 90 degrees if necessary, otherwise this will cause lots of whine regardless of whether the car is running or not.

I fought this battle with the boat - solution for me was a common ground for all components and the body of the HU as well. All the audio Gods told me ground ground ground....The years have been kind, it's the weekends that have done the damage.

I am not a audiophile at all but the key/ignition on description brought fuel pump to mind.
I don't know if this has anything to do with your issue or what a fix would be. The fuel pump would be a key on constant electrical load.

How did you install the head unit? With a factory wiring harness? The truck should have had a factory amp and your wiring may be turning it on. It is just a thought.1997 MasterCraft 205

Thanks for the imput guys. I haven't had any time recently to trouble shoot this yet. I am going to go with the "ground, ground, ground" theory.
I don't have any other good source to hook the amp up to, such as Ipod or MP3.
Taking an amp out of the boat to try is easier said than done, not going to try at this time.
RCA wires are on the opposite side of the truck from where the power cable is at.
I am going to make sure the amp and headunit share the same power and ground by running a wire between them. Make sure there is not volage difference. I do recall doing this on the boat and it helped with the system noise.
And as request a pic of the truck. Hopefully get the boat out soon for complete rig setup since the boat and truck share the same red. Front end of truck has a leveling kit too.

Nice! I could never install an amp or sub in my tundra because I use that area under the seats all the time. I do want to replace my dash and door speakers though and HU sometime in the future. The speakers that came with the truck are terrible.
Is it just me or does your rear sag in that pic? I have the bilstein 5100's installed to level out the front. I love them. Got a great deal on all four from Ajusa.com
I like that HU.

Apple bans apps from the App Store all the time, for a variety of reasons. Most of the time, it's because they think the app is pornographic, even if it totally isn't, although occasionally, it's because developers have hidden some functionality in an app that violates Apple's EULA.
One thing we're not used to seeing Apple ban apps for, though, is the mere fact that the app's subject matter has made Cupertino uncomfortable… but that is seemingly what happened with Sweatshop HD, a game created by a BAFTA-winning studio that aims to raise awareness about where our products come from.

The Jazz Passengers were founded in 1987 by Roy Nathanson and trombonist Curtis Fowlkes in order to bring lively humor and entertainment back into modern jazz. The name, a takeoff on Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, signifies that the musicians are merely along for a wild ride. The band also includes percussionist E.J. Rodriguez, bassist Brad Jones (a cohort of Elvin Jones and Muhal Richard Abrams), Steely Dan touring vibist Bill Ware and guitarist Marc Ribot, who has appeared on albums by noted singer/songwriters Elvis Costello and Tom Waits. Nathanson and Fowlkes met while playing in the pit band for the Big Apple Circus, which gave them the opportunity to play the Charles Mingus music they loved and pay the bills as well.
The two joined John Lurie's Lounge Lizards and left after a short time to record a duet album together. They added more and more studio musicians until eventually, the Jazz Passengers were born. The group made a name for itself in the New York City avant-garde scene centering on the Knitting Factory with its hybrid of Mingus-influenced postbop, dance rhythms and original tunes complete with lyrics and/or entertaining stories. After five albums on small independent labels, the Passengers finally recorded their major-label debut, Jazz Passengers in Love. In 1994, rock singer Deborah Harry started touring and recording with the band.

Chilton's multi-purpose retail center is committed to a positive theme. For Farm & Home, the focus for this year is "Bringing It Home."
Bringing it home will start with a focus on do-it-yourself projects. Throughout its wide array of departments, Farm & Home will be partnering with do-it-yourself customers to make success stories out of their projects.
The concept of "bringing it home" will also apply to an emphasis the American made products throughout the store, encouraging shoppers to strengthen US manufacturers with their purchasing habits.
One of the key ways Farm & Home will help customers improve their "do-it-yourself" skill sets is through education. Farm & Home plans to seize the opportunity to provide training and advice to guarantee projects succeed.
Throughout the year, Farm & Home will be offering mini-courses and training sessions to help do-it-yourselfers build their skill sets.
"We know that we need to be more available to our customers to help educate them and show them how to use the products that will help them with their home projects," McKeen said.
In the area of home fix-ups, McKeen said that Farm & Home will try to offer simple little sessions on projects like fixing a toilet float or changing a light switch.
With a few simple tips, people can come here, find the right part and save themselves a lot of money by installing it themselves," he said.
"And, once they have finished the project, they have a sense of pride in their accomplishment," he said.
Some common projects
In the area of plumbing, toilet floats and dripping faucets are two of the most common repairs and each takes minimal time and effort.
From the Kritter Korner, one potential class will be the set up and care of aquariums. "With some simple advise and tips on setting up the aquarium, treating the water and selections of fish, people can enjoy an aquarium for many years," he said. "If you are afraid of doing it wrong, you either won't try it, or you'll toss it in the closet to store it."
In the lawn and garden area, McKeen envisions "make-and-take" classes where customers can sign up to learn how to build beautiful growing plant arrangements in pots.
The paint department will also offer educational opportunities to show the right types of paint applications, as well as the all-important prep work that needs to be done to insure a successful paint job.
"All of these ideas will build on the self-satisfaction that customers get by putting something together on their
Mike Mathes photo
own," McKeen noted. "At the same time they save both time and money."
Other seminars or mini-classes might be held in conjunction with the holidays, or something more traditional, like birdhouse building for the kids.
Wide variety of selections
As a Do-It-Best center, Farm & Home has complete access to the 67,000 plus items featured in the catalog or online.
While the multi-faceted retail center on Chilton's north side doesn't have all 67,000 items, Farm and Home can serve as a purchase and delivery point for those items.
Consumers can simply use the Do-It-Best website at www.doitbest.comto order anything in the company's inventory.
"Anything in their catalog or on the website, can be ordered and shipped here for our customers," Kim McKeen, Farm & Home manager said.
Farm & Home takes deliveries from Do-It-Best twice a week, so an order can literally make it to the store in a 24-hour cycle.
"If you put all these offerings together, it makes our store a great source for anything you want or need to do within your home," McKeen said.
Plus, customers have the choice of browsing in the store, or making their selections on line for delivery to the Farm and Home location.
More offerings
At Farm & Home, the Do-It-Best line is one of several "stores within a store."
Thousands of additional selections are available through the Radio Shack and US Cellular outlet, the Daily Dollar Department, Kritter Korner, Custom Framing and the U-Haul and rental department.
Farm & Home has always had a tie in
to the Do-It-Best Web site, but now the Chilton retailer has its own site at www.farmhomechilton.com.
Visitors can locate web-only coupons by visiting that site. These coupons offer the best deals possible at Farm & Home—deals that won't be found anywhere else.
Starting in mid-February, Farm & Home is calling special attention to all of its product lines manufactured in the United States.
Although no retail store can survive without having some imported merchandise, Farm & Home has begun a special program to highlight products made here in America.
Adhesive stickers bearing the US flag are being placed throughout the store calling attention to the products manufactured in this country.
The aim is simple—to help customers identify domestic products. "If the end cost of the product is virtually similar, this helps the customer decide who will get the business," McKeen said.
McKeen said that Do-It -Best has ben a strong supporter of Bringing it Home.
"We are excited to help support US manufacturers and educate our customers at the same time. When we support American manufacturers it helps everyone."

90% of our orders are for HR (hi-rail). This is compatible with AF (American Flyer), and will run on AF track or our track.
AC power has some advantage in that an economical electronic sound system can be made without a battery back-up. (DC sound systems usually cost twice and much). A disadvantage is that AC powered locomotives cannot change directions simply by throwing a switch, and features such as "momentum throttles are not available. A three position reverse unit must be used and requires the power to be turned on and off and on and off again to reverse direction. We often call these AC Flyer.
Our .148" Universal Track System is probably the most realistic track ever sold in any gauge, as well as being able to accommodate both types of wheel flanges. See our display sheet and photos, for moreinformation.

What genius scheduler made the all-star game fall on the same day as valentines day? Could I look like more of a inconsiderate a--hole then when I'm watching the all-star game instead of doing romantic things for my woman?
Basically I'm not going to get to see any of the game, tho it's always a bull**** scrimmage with no defense played. But still I WANTED to see that bull**** game!
I guess I'll console myself with the fact that I get laid.

Downton Abbey Actors at SAG Awards 2013
The Downton Abbey Crew Makes a Glam Group at SAG Awards
Some of the stars from our favorite imported British TV show Downton Abbey swapped their onscreen 1920s garb for modern wear at the SAG Awards on Sunday night. Michelle Dockery, Sophie McShera, Allen Leech, Phyllis Logan, and Amy Nuttall were looking glamorous on the red carpet, at the show, and in the press room after winning their very first SAG for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series. In fact, Michelle told a funny story in the press room about when some fans saw her and her costar out: "The two of us were in jeans and leather jackets, and they could barely look at us. They were appalled that we were in modern clothes!" See Lady Crawley, Daisy, Mrs. Hughes, and more of the well-loved Downton Abbey characters as their real-life alter egos at the SAG Awards now!

Charlie Sheen and his papi Martin have teamed up for a spoof promo for his upcoming roast special on Comedy Central. The one-minute video makes fun of Apocalypse Now, the iconic 1979 Vietnam film that the elder Sheen starred in. The hilarious spoof features the 46-year-old actor reenacting the first scene of the film, but then pans out to reveal Charlie in a Jacuzzi beside two bikini-clad blondes before his father interrupts the mood and calls him inside saying, "Some things never change."
The True Identity of Charlie Sheen: Tracing The Roots of The Estevez Family
Sheen's bizarre antics were the subject of a media frenzy earlier this year, which we are sure will provide for rich material for the Roast of Charlie Sheen. This past March, Sheen was fired from his hit CBS show, Two and a Half Men, in which he played a pleasure-seeking bachelor and jingle writer after having what appeared to be a drug fueled breakdown. The roast special will air at 10 p.m. next Monday on Comedy Central.
'Two & A Half Men' Killing Off Charlie Sheen
All we have to say is, it does seem crazy to make fun of what seemed at points to be a self-destructive downward spiral for the younger Sheen, but hey — anything for a laugh, right?

Two services and tools to keep up with the growing photo sharing economy
Web and mobile usage trends are moving fast. Really fast.
Consumers are quick to adopt today's hottest trend, yet are just as undiscerning in abandoning it. Chatroulette anyone?
Now it's a retro-filtered image of your best friend's dinner, a cute puppy image, and a LOL-worthy pose.
Yet taking and sharing pictures is anything but a fleeting trend. Remember the big bulky photo albums mom and dad used to pull out to thoroughly embarrass us in front of our friends and relatives? Photos have always been a cherished way of capturing those important moments in our lives.
A presentation by analyst Mary Meeker of Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers estimates more than 500 million photos are uploaded and shared every day. Her predictions also suggest that number will double year on year.
What does this mean for businesses?
The first takeaway is that funny cat pictures will almost certainly take over the world. But more importantly, companies should look towards photos to further engage with customers and grow.
Brands that have a connected and enthusiastic audience can leverage user-generated photos with services like Pixlee. Brands that also publish photos can make better pictures using Snapseed.
Pixlee, a web-based service, makes it easy for companies to collect fan photos from Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and other social media platforms, curate and display them, then measure engagement and drive more traffic and sales.
On Crunchbase, the company says, "Our advanced photo intelligence recommends the best photos to promote and provides valuable market insights into passionate customers."
After aggregating the photos users have generated related to your brand, Pixlee helps you discover the best ones to share, while measuring social metrics that matter such as "engagements, impressions and ROI."
To request an invite, sign up on Pixlee's website.
Snapseed, a mobile app provided by Nik Software, "is one of the most powerful iPhone photo editors out there, with a clever interface to match its power," according to PC Mag. It's also available for the iPad and Android smartphones.
Snapseed is tool for everyone. No need to learn advanced Photoshop skills. Instead, use the app to magically transform and share your digital pictures from your mobile devices.
Small business owners and entrepreneurs can forget about the cost and time-lag of working with professionals to shoot and tidy up their photos. Finally, you can publish pictures that might even make a Nikon DSLR camera applaud.
With Snapseed, you can make minor edits such as brightening, contrasting, cropping, sharpening, and straightening any image to making localized adjustments and adding filters such as Vintage, Drama and Grunge that you can layer on top of each other. You may keep the original and save the edited copy of your photos.
To download Snapseed for free, visit the iTunes Store or Google Play Store.

Swallow Spinner
By Julie
from Pacific Grove, CA
This spinner barely spins. The "post" it sits on is 4 very lightweight tubes that are extremely rickety. It is definitely not worth the money or time spent assembling it.
spinner doesn't spin
By love to garden
from Charlottesville Virginia
I have been satisfied with other products, but this one is disappointing.
By happy in the Desert
from Victorville, Ca
Was happy to see it on sale and the children got it for me. The "pole" is so cheap and flimsy that it would never spin, and we have lots of wind here. Husband is making a new pole so that it will work. The pole will never hold the spinner properly. If not for the fact that my children gave it to me as a gift, it would be in the trash.
Sounds like a quality problem

"Spinner" is attractive but doesn't spin. Supporting pole is flimsy and bends easily.

By patski
from Sun City Center, FL
I had been shopping for a spinner and was delighted when I saw this one on sale. Immediately upon receiving the box I put it together and put in the yard. A soft breeze was blowing and - nothing. I made sure that the spinner was in straight and that it spun freely when manually pushed. Everything was fine. The whole thing moves in the breeze but the spinner doesn't spin. My neighbor's flag is flying but my spinner is just sitting there. It looks nice, but I'm disappointed that it isn't spinning.
Love it, it is beautiful and fun.

Added a nice touch to a garden that was resting for a year. Gave some joyful movement to a quiet place.
Nice looking, doesn't spin
By Windy Spinner
from Morristown, NJ
This is a nice looking item. I put it in the yard but it doesn't spin in the wind. I will move it when the weather is better to see if I can find a more "windy" spot. I have a feeling it's an area that is too sheltered.

TNA Impact Wrestling
Impact Wrestling is live from Jonesboro, Arkansas and "Open Fight Night" is back. Former World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy is expected to call out a member of the Aces & Eights for a little retribution tonight.
Hardy makes his way out to kick off Impact as the new #1 contender to the World Heavyweight title. He welcomes the "creatures" to tonight's show and talks about winning last week's main event match. He says that tonight is Open Fight Night, which means he has to call somebody out. Bully Ray cuts him off, saying "blah blah blah" as the Aces & Eights make their way to ringside. The crowd breaks out into a loud "you suck" chant when Bully asks if we know who they are.
Bully questions if Jeff plans on calling him out tonight. He says that wouldn't make any sense, because his moronic "creatures" wouldn't want to see anything bad happen to him before the title is on the line in a few weeks. Ken Anderson gets on the mic and asks why Hardy continues to get second chance after second chance. He goes on and on about the Aces & Eights not needing second chances until Hardy takes a shot at Anderson. The Eights hits the ring and beat down on the #1 contender until the locker room empties to even the odds.
Tonight's main event is now Jeff Hardy going one-on-one with Ken Anderson.

Linux compatibiliteit
The Longshine LCS-PS101-2 printserver can connect an USB printer to the ethernet LAN.
The configuration of the printer can be performed by the gnome-cups-manager, which can be installed in Ubuntu by the command:
sudo apt-get install gnome-cups-manager
The web interface of the printserver is accessed at the URL
Furthermore, the configuration can be carried out via telnet:
telnet 192.168.178.3
After configuration of the printserer, the connected printer can be added to the Linux system as an "Network Printer: UNIX Printer LPD".
It is not possible to use the scanning unit of an All-in-One printer together with the LCS-PS101-2. The device does not support bidirectional communication, i.e. no signals are send back from the printserver to the PC. This also means that the CUPS can produce error messages due to missing feedback from the printserver, although the printing was carried out successfully.
A configuration description for this device in Ubuntu can be found at (in German): http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Printserver/Longshine_LCS-PS101-2.

The Carlisle School Board approved Ussery's hiring during its April 8 meeting, and his employment with Carlisle will take effect on July 1, when his current contract with the Russellville School District comes to an end.
Ussery served as the RHS principal since last August before resigning in early March due to health concerns, but he feels that he will be in a better position this summer to resume his work.
"Ulcers are a lifelong condition, but as far as the bacteria in my stomach, we're maintaining control of that now," he said Monday.
When asked if he was feeling well enough to go back to work, Ussery replied, "If I wasn't, I wouldn't have taken the job."
With approximately 350 students enrolled, Carlisle High School is roughly a third of the size of Russellville High School.
"It's an excellent school system. It has good teachers, good administration, and it's a small-school environment," Ussery said.
"It's a brand new high school that's just three years old with new facilities."
Ussery is excited about returning to work after what will be a three-month hiatus.
"I'm excited to be back working. I think I need to work, and I love dealing with students and faculties," he said.
"The job basically is able to give me some peace of mind, knowing that I've got a good job that's waiting on me and they're happy to have me."
