176 Form to email script wanted.
Orçamento N/A
I have a number of sites and I want to put a form on each one to send an email to me when it is filled out. I currently use the FormMail script, but adding domain names to it all the time is not satisfactory. Does anyone have an alternative solution? At the moment, I have one main domain name on my server and each of the satellite sites post the form to that. This is fine, but I just don't want to be adding lots of domain names every time I add another satellite site. I understand it may be for security purposes, but all I want to do is for someone to enter their name and email address into the form, send the details to me and send them to the "thank you" page.

Arriving in Santa Barbara at the height of a season blessed with more than its share of great violinists appearing in recital, Joshua Bell nevertheless easily confirmed his spot at the top of the heap. With this concert, Bell demonstrated once again that he has the right touch when it comes to programming that bridges the gap between intellectualism and popularity.

Ali Banisadr
Land Of Black Gold (and 3 details)
Ali Banisadr
Land Of Black Gold (and 3 details)
Oil on linen
137.2 x 193 cm
In Banisadr's paintings, his own memories become combined and fused with Persian mythology, such as Marco Polo's discredited story of the Hashshashin, a militaristic sect whose members were drugged and made to believe that the gardens behind their mountain top fortress were actually Heaven, where obedience might be rewarded by short visits, replete with feasting and vestal virgins.
Land Of Black Gold
conjures tales such as this through its elaborate composition and suggested narratives. Influenced by Persian miniatures - small intricately rendered illustrations similar to illuminated manuscripts - Banisadr's canvas spans like an ancient map, a spatially skewed terrain of detailed activity. Throughout is a disorientating sense of wonder as angular shapes propose topsy-turvy architecture, out of scale figures are formed from indulgent dabs and exotic fauna and pools evolve from luscious smears and layered washes. Rendered in the golds and blues associated with European religious painting, Banisadr baths his scene of earthly pleasures in a divine glow, ignited by bombardments in the distance.

Bridgeport man charged with assaulting woman in Stop & Shop lot
WESTPORT — A 22-year-old man faces an assault charge after police said he got into a physical altercation with a female companion in the parking lot of Super Stop & Shop on Post Road East.
Ahmed Duncan of Palisade Avenue in Bridgeport was charged with third-degree assault and breach of peace in connection with the Monday incident.
Officers arriving on the scene separated Duncan and the woman, and witnesses told them that when the crying woman earlier had tried to leave their car, Duncan struck her with a closed fist and knocked her to the ground. The woman had visible injuries on her face from the blow, police said.
Duncan also was charged with several motor vehicle violations after police said they discovered the license plates did not belong on the vehicle.
Bond was set at $100 and Duncan was scheduled to have appeared the next day at state Superior Court in Norwalk.

Breaking News: Don Emmerich Supports New War Tax
"Taxpayers are footing the bill for these wars anyway," Emmerich told reporters as he emerged from a Los Angeles bar late last night, "so why not," he slurred, "why not force the government to be up front about it? Why not -- oh sh*t, I've lost my train of thought."
"Look," he continued, "from the taxpayer's perspective, it doesn't really matter whether you fund a war through tax increases or deficit spending. Because deficit spending is essentially a tax hike. You see, deficit spending causes inflation, which in turn diminishes the value of the dollar. So either way, we're screwed. Hey, has anyone seen my keys?"
When asked if he'd ever before supported a tax increase, Emmerich replied, "Hell no. I'm a libertarian, man. Down with taxes, man! Down with the government! Oh I see what you're getting at. You think I'm abandoning libertarianism, don't you? For the love of God, has anyone seen my f*cking keys?"
After getting into a scuffle with a companion who claimed he was too inebriated to drive, Emmerich continued: "I think every penny that the Pentagon spends should come from tax revenue. That would force people to realize how much we're actually paying for these wars. Running an empire ain't cheap, you know."
Asked if he thought this would help the peace movement, he yelled out: "Hell yes! You see, Americans are far too insulated from these wars. There are exceptions, of course. These soldiers coming home with brain damage and PTSD understand the evils of war. Their wives and children understand the evils of war.
"But most other Americans just don't get it. They're too busy writing new status updates on Facebook—'just watched Monk series finale, very impressive,' 'just took a dump, very impressive'—to give a damn.
"So I say tax these bastards! Since these fat f*cks are too absorbed in the minutiae of their own pathetic lives to care that their fellow Americans are being sent out to die for a bunch of lies, I say tax them! Maybe that will actually get their attention, turn a few more people onto peace!"
At this point, someone from a nearby apartment yelled out their window that it was three in the morning and asked Mr. Emmerich if he would mind shutting the f*ck up. "Sorry!" Emmerich yelled. He then turned to a friend: "Has anyone ever told you that you bear a striking resemblance to Friedrich Nietzsche? And I say that as a compliment. By the way, have you seen my keys?"
2 comments:
I would offer an alternative proposal: a universal draft. When at war, we should implement a universal forced conscription, for essentially citizens and resident aliens, from perhaps 16 to 80 years old, and with effectively no provisions for exclusion. Obviously, not everyone would be drafted – that would be totally impractical – but everyone would have the same odds of being drafted. The draft would operate as a lottery, without consideration of social, martial, educational, or any other status. And, of course, being drafted wouldn't necessarily imply being sent to the front lines; one's placement into forced servitude would, logically, be based on personal capabilities and the needs of the country. Young, strong men get to charge machine gun nests on blood-soaked beaches, whilst flabby, 60 year old women might handle paperwork at home – perhaps writing and sending death notices.
I am, in fact, perfectly serious in this. I probably differ from you, in believing that there are times when war is necessary and just (or, even, just unavoidable). The objective, however, is exactly the same as yours – to extend to all citizens the responsibility to feel the consequences of war, and, as a consequence, to more actively engage our 'leaders' as they either lead us into or find alternatives to going to war. I would hope that this might result in significantly less adventuring, and we might see war not as a tool of diplomacy but as truly a last resort.

Sure, we certainly wouldn't have all these wars.
It's so sad that the people who start these wars--the politicians, the executives at Haliburton, GE, etc.--aren't the ones fighting in them. It's so easy to send someone else off to die. But if these executives at Haliburton, etc. had to risk their lives patrolling the streets of Baghdad, fighting the Taliban in Helmand, etc., then I really don't think we'd be over there in the first place.
And by the way, I think you're letting the flabby, old women off too easily. :-)

February 7, 2005
Imagine. You are a hotshot high school basketball player who is starting to get serious looks by college recruiters.
You have a good junior season and have worked hard to get into top shape for the summer AAU tournament and summer league circuit, which is a critical make-or-break time for those lucky few who hope to advance to the next level.
All of the sudden, you suffer an injury. The phone calls and letters slow to a crawl and once the word gets out you become the recruiter instead of the recruit. With a little luck and a lot of perseverance, perhaps you can find the right situation where a coach will give you a chance to show what you can do.
That's exactly what happened to Ethan Rohde.
After suffering a broken elbow in June following his junior season at Sammamish High School, the sharpshooting guard remained in close contact with Santa Clara University head coach Dick Davey after contacting the Bronco coaches following his sophomore season.
Having a reputation as one of the West Coast's top teachers and coaches of the game, Davey made it clear that a scholarship to Santa Clara was not, at that time, an option but that Rohde could enroll in the school and try to walk-on the team.
"Coach Davey was up-front and honest with me," said Rohde, who played AAU basketball as a prep for a Seattle/Tacoma, Wash-based team called Fastbreak. "He said that if I was planning to come to Santa Clara just to play basketball, it probably wasn't the wisest decision. I'd been interested in Santa Clara for a variety of reasons and basketball was just one of them, although it was right near the top of the list.
"It really is a tribute to Ethan's character that he has achieved as much as he has at Santa Clara."
Senior guard Kyle Bailey.
Rohde arrived on the Mission campus in the fall of 2000 and promptly began working out with the team. But, with a number of players at his position, it was clear that he wasn't going to get much playing time so he and the coaches decided that he would sit out the season as a redshirt.
"That first year at Santa Clara was tough," said Rohde. "I really didn't feel like I was a big part of the team. Nobody really knew my story, nor did they seem to care to find out. Then, I had ankle surgery and I tried to play through it. I knew I could play at this level and I wanted to continue to give it a shot."
After using the summer to heal his injured ankle and work on conditioning and strength, Rohde returned for his second season with a new outlook. He earned some playing time as a reserve guard and led the team in three-point percentage, shooting over 45 percent from behind the arc.
However, the turning point came in Rohde's sophomore season. With Steve Ross losing an appeal for an additional year of eligibility and fellow backcourt mate Kyle Bailey playing just six game due to foot and back injuries, the coaching staff looked to Rohde to provide much of the team's backcourt production.
He started 25 of 27 games that season, scored 9.1 points per game and shot over 41 percent from behind the three-point line. His season highlight was a 22 point outburst in the win over Princeton, which earned him MVP honors in the annual Cable Car Classic at the Leavey Center.
"I think my most memorable basketball moment here at Santa Clara was earning MVP at the Cable Car Classic," said Rohde. "After the game I was speaking with (former SCU walk-on guard) Dustin Warford and he said there was no way in the world a walk-on could ever receive that honor. I was really excited to have had such a good game and to earn the award. I'll always remember that."
Following that sophomore season, Davey called Rohde into his office for an annual post-season evaluation. He thought he'd played well that year and was feeling pretty good about the outcome of that meeting. His hard work and dedication paid off when the outcome was Davey informing him that he'd earned a scholarship.
"I think the thing that made me most proud was knowing that I was being recognized for all the hard work I'd put in as well as for my ability," said Rohde. "Earning a scholarship meant that I had earned the respect of my teammates and my coaches. Certainly, it was also great to be able to financially help reward my parents for making the commitment to send me to such a great school."
The scholarship offer was bittersweet, however, after an abdominal injury kept him sidelined during the entire summer before his junior season, his first as a scholarship athlete. Rohde was unable to do any physical activity throughout the summer months and reported to campus woefully out of shape.
However, he was cleared to practice in time to join the team for preseason drills in mid-October and ended-up playing in 31 games and starting 17. His three-point shooting dipped to just over 34 percent as he was no longer an unknown on opposing teams' scouting reports. However, he's worked hard to establish himself as a key player throughout his SCU career.
As a substantial outside threat, Rohde is one of the best shooters in the West Coast Conference, which compliments Bailey and Doron Perkins' creative, slashing style of play in the Broncos' backcourt.
"With the arrival of Doron last season, I was really focused on playing my role of taking the outside shot," said Rohde, who takes nearly 80 percent of his field goal attempts from behind the three-point line. "He and Kyle drive to the basket a lot and look to kick it back out to me on the outside. That really eliminates the need for me to try to drive inside. I'm more of a shooter and I know I can hit the deep outside shot. Hopefully, that helps give us more offensive threats in the game."
One area of his game that has vastly improved hasn't escaped the notice of Davey and the coaching staff - his defense.
"Ethan has really become a solid defender," said Davey, who is the third-longest tenured Division I coach in the state of California. "He has worked hard and he has a great attitude. He is a guy who serves as an inspiration for his work ethic and has become more versatile than just being a shooter."
A finance major, Rohde has been a member of the WCC Academic Honor Team twice and should earn the honor again this season. He consistently maintains over a 3.2 grade point average and exemplifies the term student-athlete. As a 3.8 prep student, Rohde fits right into the SCU academic culture. But, he quickly notes that the strength of the university is a unique blend of academics and real-life experiences.
"I think Santa Clara is an extremely good place to get an education, both from an academic perspective and as a person," said Rohde. "The school seems to really care about the individual and it helps you grow in a lot of different ways. I have really grown a great deal during my five years here and this university has had a lot to do with that."
Among the classes that Rohde mentions as has helping shape both his academic and personal growth was a theology of marriage classic he took recently. He credits the course's teacher, Fr. Robert Brancatelli, as having a great deal of influence in his academic and personal time at SCU.
In his fifth year at SCU, Rohde is poised to become one of the top three-point shooters in Bronco basketball history. He has made nearly 40 percent of his long-range attempts, which puts him near the school mark of .401 by a farly successful guard named Steve Nash. Rohde's career three-point attempts and makes are also among the top-five totals in school history.
Not bad for a guy who was the recruiter instead of the recruit.

Sweet Pee - The Splenda Of It All
Sucralose or "Splenda", a.k.a. chlorinated sucrose, it turns out, is passed through our livers and kidneys with very little metabolic breakdown (98% pass through), and flows on it's sweet little way to the wastewater treatment plant (our societal liver of last resort), where, once again, it is barely degraded by the bugs prior to discharge (up to 10% degradation rate). Sort of like the drugs in water issue. Although there appears to be no bio-magnification in the food chain, and no evidence of mammalian toxicity, there are unresolved eco-tox concerns.
Sucralose, the sugar substitute better known to Canadians and Americans as Splenda, hit Norwegian food markets in 2005. A year later, scientists from the Norwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) found the chemical to be omnipresent in the environment—in Oslo Fjord and in raw and treated wastewater. Now, scientists in Sweden report (PDF: 1.3 MB) finding it completely unchanged in wastewater effluent in Stockholm and elsewhere in Sweden.This is one of those products that makes you want to ask: "Why do we even make this?" If you were to plot per capita consumption against overall obesity rate increase(s) over the last 20 years, there might even be a decent (though completely meaningless) correlation. It falls to government to fund any investigation of potential environmental effects. Which takes us back to the debate about the need for a "precautionary principle."
Via: ES&T;, "Artificial sweetener persists in the environment, Reports from Sweden and Norway show high levels of sucralose in wastewater effluent and surface waters." Image credit::ES&T;, Ben Mills, "Sucralose, an artificial sweetener with 600 times the sweetness of sugar, looks like sucrose. Its two –CH2Cl groups seemingly should make the chain very reactive, and its breakdown components are chlorinated monosaccharides, 1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy-D-fructose and 4-chloro-4-deoxy-D-galactose, which also have unknown environmental effects."

KEF has launched its exclusive new speakers at a Harrods' debut that saw the speakers unveiled by Yasmin Le Bon.
The Muon (pronounced Mew-on) speakers are 2-metre tall aluminium efforts created in conjunction with "leading visionary industrial designer Ross Lovegrove who was briefed to "marry a sensual yet logical organic form to state-of-the-art-technology".
With only 100 pairs of speakers produced worldwide and each individually numbered, the UK will get just ten pairs to be sold in Harrods.
The Muon boasts a four-way speaker system mounted into the front of the structure and has powerful bass drivers is one of the elements that make it so superior.
The Uni-Q drive unit array is said to "deliver a seamless sonic picture" and affects the upper mid-range and treble.
They boast KEF's Acoustic Compliance Enhancement technology, which claims to enable them to effectively double the available volume through adsorption of air molecules by activated carbon - dubbed "magic dust".
KEY say that the two additional bass drivers mounted in the back of the Muon help to produce a remarkably clean and open sound by dealing with room effects.
Finally the 6mm thick, heavily damped aluminum shell provides a totally rigid structure that minimises any sound-distorting vibrations.
Pricing not revealed - if you have to ask...

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
I was chatting with my good guy friend OLM online again, and somehow the conversation veered towards nude celebrity pics that "randomly" get leaked online.
We traded a few revealing NSFW links back and forth, but the conversation got real dicey when we landed on R&B singer Cassie's three-year-old pussy pics. (For those of you who don't know, Cassie is P. Diddy's main chick/side piece/fiancée, depending on how you perceive their multiple-parties-involved situation.)
Spread (bald) eagle in all her hairless, flexible glory, she'd damn near exposed her uterus to the entire world. All I could type was, "Ewwwww!" For shame! So desperate! How dreadful!
And OLM? Well, he replied with five words that cut me deep, Shrek: "She got a pretty one."
A pretty one? What in the actual all-around fuck is a pretty one?
Of course, I didn't dare ask him that. I mean, we're friends and all, but I couldn't let him know that he'd inadvertently given me the worst gift ever -- something else to obsess over.
At the risk of sharing TMI (but can I ever really in xoJaneville?!), I sneak a peek at my dick driveway on a regular basis, and always when I snatch my snatch. And I think it's really pretty.
But then again, I should. Because it's mine. And I keep it neatly groomed and super duper clean. Plus, it's the only one I'll ever have. Unless they start doing full-blown vagina transplants. Which if they do, I'll take Elizabeth Taylor's. I can't think of any other twat that's fetched as many sparkly expensive-ass engagement rings as hers. So, yeah, dibs on that one.
But I digress.
What makes Cassie's pussy so pretty? Is it because it appeared to be hair-bump-less? Or tattoo-less? Or C-section scar-less? (Can you tell I watch a lot of low-rent porn?) Was it because it was all one uniform shade of pink? (But aren't they all pink? On the inside at least?) I mean, it's not like it's vajazzled or anything. Seriously -- it looks pretty regular to me.
For the record, I feel like a supremo perv. And I still can't make sense of this. But it's really bothering me. Can any of you help? What makes a vajayjay pretty to you? And if you could get a vagina transplant, whose pussy would you pilfer? (And yes, you better fucking tell me why!)
I'm keeping it hella random over on Twitter: @IndiaJewelJax.

Social media websites like Twitter allowed fans and Olympians to interact with each other as the dramatic events of the Games unfolded.
"Dream come true. Is this real? Love to my family. The support has been amazing," tweeted Canadian women's soccer captain Christine Sinclair (@sincy12) after winning bronze on Aug. 9, adding the hashtag "#SeeTheeRise."
Added Sinclair later: "What a day! 4am and finally getting back to the village. Might be sleeping with the medal tonight."
Although Twitter was founded in 2006, it has exploded in popularity with 500 million users registered worldwide as of April. The social networking site has made for some entertaining interactions between athletes and fans.
"Thanks for the tweet!" said gold-medal winning Canadian trampolinist Rosie MacLennan (@RosieMacLennan) to teenage popstar Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on Aug. 6. "It's an unreal feeling hearing the national anthem & an honour to represent Canada in something I love!"
MacLennan also posted about the elaborate celebrations after winning her event.
"Off to Canada Olympic House to celebrate!! Its been amazing being around family and friends and sharing this exprience!" tweeted MacLennan, also on Aug. 6.
Bieber wasn't the only celebrity tweeting about the Olympics. American actor Samuel L. Jackson entertained his more than 1.3 million followers with his ongoing commentary on the Games.
"Okayyyy, everybody in this diving is built like 6 o'clock! They all took a Big dose of NOASSATALL!!," said Jackson on Aug. 8 while watching a diving competition.
Jackson was one of many users who commented on Canada's controversial 4-3 loss to the United States in the women's soccer semifinal.
"Lemme say though, those Canuck Ladies brought da noise! They came to WIN! Ehhh?!!" said Jackson on Aug. 6 after being criticized by some Canadian fans online.
Twitter also gave Canada's men's 4x100-metre relay team an outlet to express their disappointment after being disqualified from the race.
"That was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through in my life," said Justyn Warner (@justynwarner) on Saturday. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Love & so proud of my teammates."
Teammate Jared Connaughton (@jncoolc), whose misstep during the race led to the DQ, was equally gracious as his name came forward as Canada's potential flagbearer for the closing ceremonies Sunday.
"I'm honored to be considered for closing ceremonies flag bearer, but, if I can't have my three teammates with me, then I'm not interested!" said Connaughton.
Mark Tewksbury (@marktewks), a former Olympian who served as Canada's Chef de Mission at the London Games, was particularly active on Twitter throughout the two-week event. Every day he tweeted about Canada's upcoming events and made sure to congratulate all Canadian athletes on completing their events.
"A huge shout out to our last day of @CDNOlympicTeam competitors - athletics, mountain bike, modern pentathlon and wrestling all up still," said Tewksbury early Sunday morning.
"Congrats to @CDNOlympicTeam @richardwienberger for winning canada's first Olympic medal in open water swimming," said Tewksbury on Aug. 10 after Wienberger won bronze.

Actress Lena Dunham considered a peculiar career change following the end of her show Girls, revealing she wanted to work with wildlife and become a crystal expert.
The star's hit show ends later this year (17) and the 30-year-old reveals that after wrapping the series she went through a phase of being unsure about her next move - and it led to a little out-there thinking.
"I had a psychotic moment where I was like, 'I'm going to become a wildlife rehabilitator and a crystal expert'," she tells Nylon magazine.
However, her boyfriend Jack Antonoff talked her out of the idea.
"My boyfriend was like, 'No, you're not.' I'm like, 'I'm going to rehabilitate squirrels and owls'," she says. "And I'm going to educate myself so that I can do crystal healings'. He was like, 'Good luck with that'."
Lena ultimately decided against the career change and is now turning her focus to her popular Lenny newsletter and podcast, while promoting the final series of Girls.
"I'm probably going to have a nervous crying breakdown (when it ends)," she says. "I know I'm never going to have another work experience like this. Eight years of working on a project; it's this living, breathing organism, but it's also the luckiest thing."
Meanwhile, Lena reveals the final season of the show will focus on U.S. political issues following the election of Donald Trump, who she did not support.
"It's going to be interesting promoting this show right after Trump is inaugurated," she continues. "The final season definitely tackles some topics that are complicated and wouldn't be beloved by the incoming administration. Hopefully it'll bring up important conversations, and not just become the worst Twitter abuse storm in history - or it will."

A thorough knowledge of the health care industry and all of the standard requirements of a practicing attorney are required to practice medical insurance law. Requirements include a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from a law school accredited by the American Bar Association, a license, successful bar exam results and ongoing character and continuing education requirements, according to Study.com.Continue Reading
Entry to law school is competitive, so a high undergraduate grade point average and a high score on the LSAT are key qualifications for law school admittance. The J.D. degree program will include a basic education on the law, followed by courses specifically related to the health care industry. After graduation, a potential health care lawyer will need to acquire licensure from the state and pass a state bar exam administered by that states bar association.
Medical insurance law deals specifically with health care plans and policies and the denial or approval of claims. This includes both private insurance companies and policies as well as Medicare and Medicaid. Medical insurance law is a subset of the overall category of health care law, and a practicing medical insurance attorney may represent doctors, patients, hospitals, nursing homes, insurance providers or even pharmaceutical companies.
Due to the intense regulatory environment of health care and an aging general population, health care law is one of the more promising specialties in the legal field, according to LearningPath.org.Learn more about Career Aspirations

Samsung halts Note7 production after new reports of fires
Image credit: Reuters
Samsung Electronics has suspended production of its flagship Galaxy Note7 smartphones following reports that even devices replaced following a product recall have been catching fire.
The information was revealed by Reuters', citing an unnamed source. PA said Samsung confirmed making 'changes to its output' on Monday in order to manage the self-igniting battery fiasco. In a statement, the South Korean electronics giant said it was 'temporarily' adjusting production of the troubled gadget to 'ensure quality and safety'. However, the firm didn't confirm Reuters' information about suspending production completely.
The news comes after a story broke last week of an American man whose replacement Galaxy Note 7 had caught fire on a flight from Kentucky to Baltimore.
Multiple vendors including US AT&T and T-Mobile said earlier that they will no longer offer new Note7 phones as replacements to their customers.
Having originally recalled 2.5 million Note7s on 2 September this year, Samsung said it was the gadget's battery that was responsible for the fire hazard. However, the fact that even replacement devices with new safer batteries have been reported catching fire suggests there might be a deeper problem within the device's systems.
Analysts say Samsung's inability to fix the problem could cause excessive damage to the brand and affect consumers' trust.
"If the Note7 is allowed to continue it could lead to the single greatest act of brand self-destruction in the history of modern technology," Eric Schiffer, brand strategy expert and chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, told Reuters.
"Samsung needs to take a giant write-down and cast the Note7 to the engineering hall of shame next to the Ford Pinto," he added. The Pinto gained notoriety in the 1970s for serious problems with its fuel system.
HDC Asset Management fund manager Park Jung-hoon, whose fund owns Samsung shares, agreed. "I think the cleanest thing to do is to give up on the Note7," he said.
"What's scary is that this is causing people to repeatedly doubt Samsung's fundamental capabilities, so it's important for Samsung to get past this issue quickly."
Samsung's recall crisis has coincided with pressure from one of the world's most aggressive hedge funds, Elliott Management, to split the company and pay out $27bn in a special dividend.
Passengers on international airlines are currently being banned from using Note7s aboard planes.

South Korea's answer to Peter Crouch, the 1.96m tall Ulsan forward is likely to be heading to Europe sooner rather than later. Apparently he turned down a chance to move to Spartak Moscow in the winter, and he is on the radar of several English clubs including Leicester City.
The national team forward has hit the net three times so far for his country and led the line against Algeria and Belgium in the 2014 World Cup as well as being part of the team that won a gold medal at the Asian Games.
That medal could have a significant impact on his career as it carries with it an exemption from military service, making him a more attractive proposition for foreign clubs.
Kim has spent his entire career at Ulsan Hyundai after joining the south-east club straight from Chungang University in Seoul. He has scored over ninety times in the six seasons that he has been at the club with his best season domestically coming in 2013 when he scored nineteen times in the league.
He was also a huge part of the Asian Champion's League winning team in 2012, scoring six goals as Ulsan went on to become the champions of Asia. The 2014 season was marred by injury with Kim Shin-Wook only managing to play twenty times in the league that year before missing the end of the season after getting injured in the Asian Games tournament in September.
He hasn't hit top form this season either as Ulsan have struggled in the league, after nineteen games he only has six goals to his name despite many domestic critics expecting him to be this season's top scorer in the K-League.
If not for his injury, he would likely be playing in Europe already and now that he is fully recovered it is likely that he will be making a move in the near future.

Elementary School Escapes Toxic Coal Sludge Threat
Image credit: Good
For years, the Marsh Fork Elementary School in Sundial, West Virginia, sat in a precarious position directly below the damn of a massive coal sludge pond. In theory, the massive concrete barrier holding back the toxic sludge would be all the security parents and students need but in reality, everyone knows that sometimes these things go horribly wrong.Good writes:
Well, some very good news: Supporters of the school have raised enough money to move it, with most of the funds coming from the Annenberg Foundation.

Polk County
Saddle Creek Park is a series of phosphate pits on 740 acres of mined phosphate land east of Lakeland off U.S. Route 92 in Polk County. The park provides convenient opportunities for family outings, picnics, boating, and fishing. An abundance of bank fishing makes this a unique Fish Management Area. Channel catfish are stocked regularly by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and largemouth bass are popular with Saddle Creek anglers. The special regulation on catfish (6 fish bag limit) is needed to maintain desirable fish populations under intense fishing pressure. Fish feeders are operated and maintained near a number of bank fishing sites. Fishing for catfish and bluegill is often good in these areas. Willow is the major shoreline vegetation. There are a number of public boat ramps on Saddle Creek Park Road, which runs through the middle of the park.
For more information contact Phillips Bait and Tackle at 863-666-2248.Anglers can also check out this outstanding Web site .
Fish graphics by Duane Raver, Jr.
TrophyCatch is FWC's citizen-science program that rewards anglers for documenting and releasing trophy bass 8 pounds or larger. The following TrophyCatch bass have been submitted from Saddle Creek:
Lunker Club (8 – 9.9 pounds): 16
Trophy Club (10 – 12.9 pounds): 2
Bank fishing opportunities here are excellent. Bluegill (bream) fishing is improving with the warmer water, and they can be caught with crickets and red wigglers. Catfish can be caught on chicken livers and commercial stink baits around deeper holes. Anglers recently reported big largemouth bass being caught, but patience will be the name of the game for the sweltering summer months. Use live wild shiners for the best action, and try plastic worms in Junebug, red shad, and Christmas colors fished slowly along the edges and near drop-offs. Large schools of shad are coming to the surface in the morning and just before sunset. Don't be afraid to throw out your walking topwater baits, suspending jerkbaits and weightless shad colored flukes in and around the schools to catch bass chasing the shad. During recent electrofishing surveys, 12 largemouth bass larger than 8 pounds were tagged, with a few around 13 pounds. Tags are yellow and located on the back (dorsal) of the fish. If you catch a tagged fish, remember to remove the tag and call the number provided. You will need it to collect your reward! Black crappie (specks) fishing is slow, but a few fish can still be caught. Live Missouri minnows and small jigs trolled or drifted are the best bets for specks.

Felger and Massarotti kicked off the day discussing the NHL Playoffs and Game 7 last night between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks. The Blackhawks won 2-1 in overtime over the Red Wings last night. The Blackhawks will play the Los Angeles Kings in the Western Conference Finals. Should there be more scoring in the playoffs? The guys also talked about the firing of New York Rangers head coach John Tortorella. What were the reasons for Tortorella's firing?[cbs-audio url="http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/nyc.podcast.play.it/media/d0/d0/d1/d2/dX/d5/dR/12X5R_3.MP3″ size="340px" download="true" name="Hour 1″ artist="Felger and Massarotti"]
In Hour 2 of Felger and Mazz, the guys were joined by James Murphy of Murphy's Hockey Law and MurphysHockeyLaw.com to preview the start of the Boston Bruins series against the Pittsburgh Penguins. What should Bruins fans hate about the Penguins? Is everyone happy in the Bruins front office? Finally, what are Murph's predictions for the Bruins-Penguins series?[cbs-audio url="http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/nyc.podcast.play.it/media/d0/d0/d1/d2/dX/d6/dU/12X6U_3.MP3″ size="340px" download="true" name="Hour 2″ artist="Felger and Massarotti"]
During Hour 3, Felger and Massarotti changed gears for a bit and discussed the New England Patriots and Rob Gronkowski. Gronk will have a back surgery that could cause him to miss the start of the season. Last night, the Boston Red Sox lost again to the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3. The Sox still hold a one-game lead on the New York Yankees in the American League East. Former Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon has 2 saves for the Phillies in the series. How do the fans really feel about Papelbon? Has the Gyro-Ball made it's return to Major League Baseball?[cbs-audio url="http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/nyc.podcast.play.it/media/d0/d0/d1/d2/dX/d7/d8/12X78_3.MP3″ size="340px" download="true" name="Hour 3″ artist="Felger and Massarotti"]
In the fourth and final hour, Felger and Massarotti reset and got back to the NHL Playoffs. Last night, the Blackhawks knocked off the Red Wings with a Game 7 overtime win. The Blackhawks will play the Kings in the Western Conference Finals. Also, could Felger hit off a women's college softball pitcher? Finally, the guys make power rankings for the remaining teams in the NHL playoffs. To close the show out, we hear The Final Word with Marc Bertrand.[cbs-audio url="http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/nyc.podcast.play.it/media/d0/d0/d1/d2/dX/d7/dP/12X7P_3.MP3″ size="340px" download="true" name="Hour 4″ artist="Felger and Massarotti"]

What to Read
Because toddlers like to label things, picture books of things are great for this age group. The books with just pictures that you can point at and name will hold a lot of interest for your child. Point at it as you read and label it. Ask your child, "Can you say ball?" and praise any effort your child gives to say ball. My toddlers have all loved looking at animal books,
"This is a lion. Can you say lion?" Wait for response
"That's right! Lion. The lion says Roar! Can you say roar?" Wait for response
"Very good. Roar!"
As the child gets older, rather than introducing the animal or object first, you just ask, "What is this?" as you point. Then go on, "That's right! It is a lion. What does the lion say?" If you are looking at a page with a lot of objects, you can say, "Where is the ball? Can you touch the ball?" I know a lot of our time reading books with the toddlers is spent just labeling objects and not so much reading the "story" written in the book if there is a story, especially with the more 14-30ish month age range.
Some of my favorite books for this age range are:
Some of my favorite books for this age range are:
- Pajama Time! by Sandra Boynton: Boynton books are all great fun. This is our favorite Boyton book. This was Brinley's favorite for a long time.
- Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr. This was McKenna's favorite book for a long time.
- Baby Einstein: Water, Water Everywhere This is one I still have memorized from my Brayden baby days.
- First 100 Words by Roger Priddy
- Nursery Rhymes (Sing-along) Don't forget the nursery rhyme books.
When my children have been close to 18 months old, I have made them a "quiet book." These are books I have either scrapbooked the "old fashioned way" or printed off digitally. For Brinley, I made the books with Shutterfly and that was very easy. Here are some samples:
McKenna's Quiet Book
Quiet Book (Kaitlyn's)
This has been a favorite book for all of my children.
As your child goes from about 2.5 up to 3--so approaching preschooler age--your child will start to have more of an interest in books with a simple story line attached to it. Read books that are of interest to your child. If your child loves animals, find animal books. If your child loves trucks, find truck books. Here are some we have liked:
- Good Dog, Carl by Alexandra Day: This is a wordless picture book. It was a favorite of Kaitlyn's.
- Ladybug Girl Feels Happy by Jacky Davis: These Ladybug Girl books are Brinley's current favorite (2 years old--coming up on 3). These are simple stories still in a board book format.
- Sheep in a Jeep by Nancy E. Shaw: This is a fun one that is predictable, but it is a longer book so if your little one doesn't have a long attention span for books, you might wait on it.
- If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Nmeroff: There are a lot of these books and they are all fun.
- Let's Go Home, Little Bear by Martin Waddell: This has been loved by all of my children.
Read the Book Over and Over (and over) Again
"Prior to age two, repeated readings of fewer books is better than a huge collection read infrequently" (page 54). When my first two children were in this age range, we really did not have a vast collection of books to read from. We had 10-20 books total that we read from. Brayden and Kaitlyn are now 10 and 8 and their reading scores are off the charts.
I remember reading those books over and over. I can still read any one of those books without actually reading the words when I read them to Brinley. They are burned on the back of my eyelids--I know the stories that well. As a two year old, Brayden could "read" a longer Clifford story himself with out mistakes because he had it memorized. I know it can be as boring as can be to read the same thing over and over, but do it anyway. Children are learning a whole entire language. It will take them time and repetition to pick up on things from books. Repeat, repeat, repeat. And don't feel like you need a huge library. Choose some high quality books to own and be content with that. Every once in a while, you can go to the library and expand the book pool, but don't feel like you have to.
Answer Questions
"Don't destroy natural curiosity by ignoring it" (page 55). While we have the saying, "There is no such thing as a dumb question," we adults don't often treat questions with much patience or kindness. Reward curiosity! All children are curious. Asking questions is a sign of intelligence. Foster that.
At the end of the book, you can answer any questions your child may have. If a question is pertinent to understanding the story, answer it immediately. If the question is better discussed at the end of the book, tell your child you will come back to it once the story is done and then do so.
Rhyming Books are Still Important
Rhythm and rhyme are good for infants, and the same is true for toddlers. Again, go for simple plot lines starting about age 2.5. Predictable rhyming books are great ("I do not like them, Sam I Am!").
Read as Much as You Can
When Brayden was young, I was pregnant a lot. I got pregnant when he was six months old. I lost that baby when he was 11 months old and I got pregnant again at 13 months old. I was tired and sick. He was a busy little boy like boys are. I loved books because he would be willing to sit still so I could read to him. We read a lot.
Have Patience
Not all children will just naturally love to sit and read books. If your child is like that, work on it over time. Sense when you should push sitting still and when you should just be content with letting your child listen as you read and the child plays nearby.
When, Where, and How to Read
Have a consistent time of day that you will read no matter what, but fit in more time when you can. We read before nap and before bedtime each day. We will then add in other times some times.
We read in a certain spot each time. Brinley used to have a chair in her room that we sat in, but we removed it to trade it for a doll house. I now just sit on the floor. You could read on the couch in the family room. You can consider reading in the bed if it is a toddler bed, but I like reading, ending, and then going to bed. I used to read to Brayden in his bed and it made for 60-90 minute reading sessions. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but not a practical thing day to day.
Read with enthusiasm--don't be grumpy about it. Read clearly and slowly enough for your child to understand what you are saying. Talk about pictures. Have some interest in your voice--don't be monotone.

Please ask your questions. Each time you are finished talking, type RET twice.
I'm pretty much convinced this interview was actually conducted with an Eliza-inspired chat bot rather than a real-live CEO.
Otherwise, I am always pleased as Linux also-rans merge. Years ago I had a dream of DREGS Linux where all the "other" one man distros merged to form an unholy alliance.
I can still dream..
Edited 2008-07-01 19:25 UTC
I hope I am wrong, but these canned responses add nothing of value and show no real planning occurred behind this acquisition.
A company that purchases another one and has no real plans yet for what to do with the acquired products and customers is a disaster in the making.
Here's a few tips for you. C
Create a single online identity for the combined company, with a single product-line. Get your product into admin's hands so that they can test it just like they currently test Ubuntu, Mandriva, Suse or RHEL through CENTOS.
Shed everything proprietary about Xandros such as its file manager. There is nothing unique about it and it just adds confusion to the market. Work off a single code base and add value by integrating well your file file and groupware server offerings with a standard kde client such as Kontact that any distro can ship. That way, you increase the appeal of your server distribution, which is what most people pay for. And people like consistency, so even if you support a standard kde client, companies will go to you for the whole widget.
Once every other kde-based distro has moved to kde4, which will happen in the next 12 months, Xandros and its file manager will look ancient and archaic. Put all your development resources into stabilizing kde4 and porting any remnant kde3 applications.
And yes, I know kde4 isn't ready for prime time yet, but you need to get into planning mode and I assure you that by the summer of 2009 kde 4.2 or kde 4.3 will be well supported and stable and the choice of all leading distributions.
Edited 2008-07-01 19:55 UTC
A company that purchases another one and has no real plans yet for what to do with the acquired products and customers is a disaster in the making.
The idea is simple: Xandros needs CNR, the infrastructure, the backend, the tools, etc, for their EeePC distro. Especially for a storage-space challenged device like the Eee it's important to be able to slim it down and easily add those stuff later on.
There's rumors flying around that Asus's shopping for another distro and if it takes CNR to keep that cash cow, it's in Xandros' best interest to acquire it.
Shed everything proprietary about Xandros such as its file manager. There is nothing unique about it and it just adds confusion to the market.
Funny thing you say that; because while I've never used Xandros, every Xandros user I've met said their file manager was their killer feature.
Having been the President of Linspire for six years and their CEO for two, I can tell you that this Q&A has a lot of "spin." For my "color" on this, visit my blog:
Kevin Carmony
Former CEO, Linspire
Well I'm not sure what is REALLY going on here. Personally I have no stake in either company so could care less. I did try Xandros back in its heyday (even used Corel Linux which it was originally AFAIK) and while it was decent it offered nothing that made me want to pay for an upgrade. I think all the current distros (Ubuntu especially) probably surpass thsi combined company in features and users by now. My only concern is for a product that was also recently purchases by Xandros, Scalix email server. I implemented this product at my company a year or so ago and am concerned that its future is now tied to Xandros which seem to have a sketchy existance to say the least. Oh well. We'll see what happens. I may be looking at Zimbra (unless MS buys Yahoo) or (sadly) Exchange again in the near future.
Edited 2008-07-01 20:51 UTC
No, Really? Between the no holds barred questions and the informative, specific answers I was convinced I'd read an honest account of the bright future of one of the world leaders in Linux desktop solutions.
For my "color" on this, visit my blog:
Short version: You're bitter.
Long version: You present some interesting bits of information but I'm not really convinced that you're more trustworthy than the other party. You can hardly be called impartial. Although you are more specific than the official press release, erm "Q&A", which is helpful.
A: All of the engineering, support, and key sales staff have been retained, apart from a small number of administrative and related resources, given redundancy with Xandros in a number of such areas.
Translation: Expect many angry blog entries to be posted as news stories.
A: Yes, Larry Kettler will be joining our executive management team as VP of Business Development.
Translation: Expect many self-congratulatory press releases written in market-speak to be posted as news stories.
A: Like many private commercial transactions, the financial terms of the agreement are not being disclosed.
Translation: When we submitted the news to Forbes and Business Week they didn't care. So we are looking for a news forum which does.
My advice, humbly offered: Keep looking.
Edit: Sincere apologies for the poor subject line. I wish the forum would warn when one posts without providing a title.

I hope I'm wrong, but I believe that Xandros will leave the Linspire customer base out in the cold.
This opinion is based on a the previous acquisition of Lycoris by Mandriva in 2005. The CEO of Lycoris, Joseph Cheek, was given a position with Mandriva and was never heard from again. Poof! The former Lycoris customer base was treated quite poorly by Mandriva. Many who contributed refused to be treated poorly my Mandriva and moved on to greener pastures.
For years Lindows/Linspire had the attention of many. Like 'em or love 'em, they were much talked about. They did a lot for the average users who sincerely enjoyed Lindows & Linspire.
Linspire's user & forum populations seem far less active compared to last year. Was this change related to Kevin Carmony's departure around the same period? I can't say, but the two events seem to coincide.
In the last year, has Linspire been an innovative company? Not in my mind and I've seen nothing noteworthy.
Linspire has become less & less significant to the degree that this acquisition will not have any impact other than their present customer base soon being abandoned by Xandros.
Funny thought: Will a name change happen? How does "Xanspire" sound? Maybe "Lindros"? (sorry - couldn't resist)
I always wondered what happened to Joe Cheek. Funny you mentioned this, because there is some guy from Lycoris posting in the comments on the linked article.
On the two companies:
I remember reading an article about a Xandros lawsuit, but can't seem to find it on Google. EDIT: Found it! See http://www.linux.com/feature/35926
On the demise of Lycoris:
And later:
I remember SME Server briefly went to Lycoris before Ruffdogs became its corporate sponsor, but I don't know what he means about a let-down.
Anyhow, interesting stuff if he really is ex-Lycoris. A quick Google search suggests he may have been.

A powerful late-winter storm system mowed across six states late Tuesday and early Wednesday, spawning a series of tornadoes that reminded many of the deadly and costly outbreaks in the Midwest and Southeast last April and May.
Climate experts cautioned that such conditions aren't unusual this time of the year, and that warmer than average temperatures aren't to blame. The most recent outbreak comes nowhere close to the devastation of last spring's tornadoes, which killed more than 500 people.
"One system doesn't make a trend," said Greg Carbin, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service storm prediction center in Norman, Okla. "In March and April, we'll see an increase in severe weather."
Over 24 hours, tornadoes touched down in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky, killing at least nine people, injuring dozens more and destroying homes and businesses. One tornado hit the country-music resort town of Branson, Mo., where hotels and other businesses sustained damage. At least three people died in southwest Missouri.
"In Kansas, we've had tornadoes at various times of the year," said Sharon Watson, a spokeswoman for the state adjutant general's department, which manages state emergencies. "They're not as common this time of year. But it's not unheard of."
The hardest hit town was Harrisburg, Ill., about 100 miles southeast of St. Louis. At least six people were killed in the town of 9,000. The Category EF-4 tornado, the second-most powerful kind, which pack sustained winds of at least 166 mph, damaged or destroyed more than 300 homes and 25 businesses, according to the Saline County sheriff's office.
Tuesday night, a tornado touched down in Harveyville, Kan., southwest of Topeka, causing damage and injuries but no fatalities. A tornado touched down Wednesday near Elizabethtown, Ky., about 50 miles south of Louisville, but no fatalities were reported, according to the Kentucky State Police. The National Weather Service said a tornado touched down late Tuesday in western Nebraska, which had never recorded a tornado before in February.
The Kansas tornado came with little warning, Watson said, touching down at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.
While the storm damaged about 40 percent of the homes in Harveyville, she said, it couldn't compare to the memorable 2007 tornado that flattened more than 90 percent of Greensburg, Kan, and killed 11 people. In that tornado, she said, residents had 20 minutes to take shelter.
"Sometimes storms come out of nowhere and can happen on a moment's notice," Watson said. "Everyone is aware of the threat, but you just don't know how much warning you're going to have."
Emergency management officials in the states affected said it was too early to know whether the damage warranted a request for federal help. The governors of Kansas, Missouri and Illinois declared their own state emergencies, and would need to request federal disaster declarations from President Barack Obama to get assistance from Washington. A spokeswoman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency said the agency is in contact with state officials and is ready to provide help if it's requested.
Chip Konrad, the director of the Southeast Regional Climate Center in Chapel Hill, N.C., said the conditions were just right for Wednesday's storms, with warm, moist air surging from the Gulf of Mexico and meeting the jet stream at just the right point to create havoc.
Konrad said such conditions are tough to predict a week out because a number of factors have to come together very quickly to produce strong storms and tornadoes.
Last year's deadly tornadoes may still be fresh in people's minds, but Konrad cautioned that people shouldn't jump to conclusions about the months ahead.
"Last year really stood out," he said. "But just because it happened last year doesn't suggest it's going to happen this year. We'll have to wait and see."
The storm system was forecast to move eastward Wednesday night, the National Weather Service said, bringing thunderstorms, wind gusts and possible tornadoes to eastern Kentucky, Tennessee, northern Mississippi and western North Carolina.

When: Aug. 2-26 2012
Even if Love's Labor's Lost is one of Shakespeare's more obscure pieces of theater, that still would place the comedy high in the ranking of Best Use of the English Language, like, ever. The story: Four men swear off sex for their studies. Four women arrive soon thereafter. Hilarity ensues, with all the eccentricity and grandiloquent banter you'd expect of the Bard. TheatreWorks' out-of-doors version opens at 7:30 tonight at Rock Ledge Ranch (3105 Gateway Road; theatreworkscs.org). The show runs Tuesdays through Saturdays through the 25th, with a final performance on the 26th. Tickets are $35, and a review of the show will post to the IndyBlog next week. — Wyatt Miller
Price: $10-35

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Ming's Restaurant Review: Once regarded as the suburban bastion of fine Chinese cooking, Ming's has not so much lost its luster as succumbed to increasing competition. It's carnelian-and-silver dining rooms still soothe the hungry hoards gathered to chow down on abundant plates of General Tso's chicken and kung pao shrimp. Ming's beef is a perennial favorite, offering two kinds of crisp: the crunch of perfectly steamed broccoli and the crackle of delicately-crusted cubes of meltingly tender beef. Mandarin lobster---beautiful chunks of lobster in a spicy sauce with mushrooms and water chestnuts---is another good bet. A low-fat menu is also available.
GAYOT's Annual Restaurant Awards honor America's best chefs, as well as promising newcomers and a top restaurateur.

News in Northern SJC
The CTTF (Citizen's Traffic Task Force) has advocated for, and accomplished, a traffic analysis study provided by the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization (NFTPO). The results of the study will be shared at a Town Hall meeting this evening @ Ponte Vedra Concert Hall. The study analyzed the general current traffic conditions and the projected flow over the next decade. There is reference in the study to additional roadside bike lanes and sidewalks - - as per the complete street initiative. However, the funding is unavailable at this time. It does not appear that the study and its recommendations included SJC Greenways, trails and barrier lane solutions for alternate mobility. And, it is notable that the FDOT incurred a great expense for rumble strips install and removal and repaving of Scenic Highway A1A - perhaps $4M. Any comments would be welcome.
We need to create options for more alternate mobility as a traffic solution - a more sustainable county / community with multi-use access. We'll keep you posted. More to come...

Lidija and Sanja Bizjak studied in Belgrade before joining Jacques Rouvier's class at the Paris Conservatoire several years later. After initially pursuing careers as soloists, they launched also their duo career performing for the first time Medelssohn's concerto in 2002 with the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra. They won two special prizes at the ARD Munich Piano Duo competition in 2005. Their last CD for Onyx Classics dedicated to Poulenc Double piano concerto and Martiny Double piano concerto is receiving great critical acclaim from BBC Magazine, Gramophone, Télérama, Irish Time, MusicInternational.com…
Two pianos, four hands, one virtuosity: the Bizjak sisters take the listener away, while revealing one of Martinu's most unknown score.
"The multi-awarded tandem takes the listener far away by adding a dimension of joyfull complicity and of tenacious virtuosity to this tradition. Their Rite of Spring (cf. Stravinsky CD) brought back the dazzling freshness of the original four-hands version, played by Stravinsky and Debussy, a few months before the scandal of the Parisian creation in 1913. This marvellous and glaring CD, made us wonder how the duo could possibly repeat this recording masterstroke … They made it thanks to their curiosity, their knowledge of the repertoire and the complicity of the young Polish conductor Radoslaw Szulc."
"The Bizjak tandem celebrates the eternal Rite of Spring. We were KO'd! Two sisters, born in Belgrade, take up this challenge with a stunning brio. This black and white, x-rayed Stravinski's version is better than a lesson of symphonic anatomy: it is a study of algebra and musical alchemy." FFFF"

Asus tackles Eee Transformer Prime tablet GPS woes
Buyers offered patches, refunds, extended warranties
Asus has begun rolling out a firmware update for its Eee Pad Transformer Prime that some owners are suggesting goes some way to solve the tablet's GPS problems.
Meanwhile, British Prime owners are being offered an extended warranty period in case they're troubled by ongoing GPS issues - or are struck by newly emerged Wi-Fi woes.
The over-the-air update certainly patches the tablet's GPS driver, taking it to version 6.9.13 from 6.8.13, and a number of users are claiming GPS now works properly.
As one forum poster put it: "HOLY SHIT GPS WORKED!!"
The downside: the patch removes root access to the tablet.
At the start of the year, Asus quietly dropped GPS from the Prime's spec sheet after it emerged that the tablet's pick-up was taking users an age to lock on to satellites.
Soon after, Asus confirmed the issue, admitting that the Prime's "metallic unibody design… may affect the performance of the GPS when receiving signals from satellites".
Since then, an problem with the tablet's Wi-Fi has cropped up. The latest OTA patch doesn't appear to tackle it - at least, it doesn't up the Wi-Fi driver's version number, forum posters say.
Asus UK doesn't believe any Britain-bound Primes suffer from the Wi-Fi issue, but they will be affected by the weak GPS performance. The company said buyers can have a full refund if that's a problem for them, or gain an extra six months of warranty coverage. ®

AURORA, Colo. – A police officer shot and killed a naked man wielding a machete and another knife inside an Aurora home Tuesday afternoon.
The man's family said the incident started after they called for help when he started behaving abnormally around 12:25, said police spokeswoman Cassidee Carlson.
Paramedics arrived first at the home in the 1600 block of South Buckley Way and talked with the man who grew more and more agitated, Carlson said.
The man, who was not wearing any clothes, went into the bedroom and came back out with a machete. That's when the paramedics backed out of the house, she said.
Three police officers went into the home and found the man at the top of the staircase, still naked, with the machete and a knife, Carlson said.
The man then hit one of the officers with either the knife or the machete and another officer fired at least one shot hitting the man, police said.
The 55-year-old man was rushed to a local hospital where he died. His name has not yet been released.
The officers were not seriously injured.
As is standard procedure in all officer-involved shootings, the officer who fired his weapon has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal review of this incident.AlertMe

DHS Inspector General reports clear USCG Judges of misconduct
Two reports by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General clear Coast Guard Administrative Law Judges of misconduct or bias, but make 11 recommendations for improving the service's handling of mariner license suspension and revocation matters.
The reports, OIG-10-107 and OIG-10-108, stem from an October 2008 request by the Coast Guard's Vice Commandant for a review of allegations made May 9, 2007, by former Administrative Law Judge Jeffie Massey.
Report OIG-10-107 details recommendations made to address programmatic issues that while not directly related to Massey's allegations, were noted during the review of those allegations.
Report OIG-10-108, focused on the review of Massey's allegations, says that DHS OIG inspectors found there "is no evidence supporting ALJ Massey's claim that the Chief ALJ held improper conversations with other ALJs about desired outcomes in specific cases or otherwise deprived mariners of due process in administrative proceedings."
The report also states that the Office of Inspector General:
"The Coast Guard Administrative Law Judge Program welcomed this independent and thorough investigation which exonerates the ALJ program of alleged misconduct," said Rear Adm. Karl Schultz, director of governmental and public affairs for the U.S. Coast Guard. "These current findings are consistent with an earlier GAO audit which found the ALJ program to be unbiased and that Coast Guard ALJs fairly adjudicate the interests of those who come before them."
Report OIG-10-107 provides the service with 11 recommendations on how to improve the Coast Guard's handling of merchant mariner suspension and revocation matters.
The Coast Guard concurs with each of the following recommendations:
"The swift implementation of the DHS IG recommendations, which is already underway, is beneficial to all participants of the adjudication system," said Schultz. "This investigation is in fact the second independent review of the Coast Guard ALJ Program within a 12-month period. These reports provide the facts that help our merchant mariners and the American public to confidently place their trust in the fairness and integrity of the Coast Guard's suspension and revocation program, our Administrative Law Judges and the staff who administer a program that is vital to maritime safety."
Massey's allegations were reported in a series of Baltimore Sun articles and repeated during Congressional testimony. The allegations were also relied upon in three, civil lawsuits seeking to reverse Coast Guard actions and up to $31 million in alleged damages from ALJs and others. The lawsuits were dismissed, and the dismissals were affirmed on appeal. Two plaintiffs re-filed their suits which were again dismissed. Those dismissals are on appeal before the 5th Circuit, U.S. Court of Appeals.
