I play fair amount of video games a day, and add to that, I live in a hot enviorment.put simply: can I willingly increase or decrease the fan speed in order to accomodate for the high temperature?one key optimizer, a program that came included with the Lenovo laptop, is capable of increasing the fan speed, albeit momentarily for dust cleaning.I already checked the BIOS options, there was no fan control option there of any form, unfortunately. has anyone found any way to increase fan speed?do note, programs like speedfan, dont detect the fan either I would be glad to hear from you. thank you for your timeRead other answers
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
Is there any driver i forgot to install for Fan speed control of the CPU fan ? The problem is that the CPU fan is at 499RPM no mather what is the temperature of the CPU (i3 530) it can go up to 77C and Fans are still at 499RPM , i did temporary solve this by installing SpeedFan but when i check the auto control there the FAN spins up to 4000RPM which is way to much , it is like a rocket in my room. Is there any solution from lenovo for this? Beacuse i think that fans should not be at 499rpm all the time? tnxRead other answers
Since you have to hunt around different Lenovo sites (and other sites) to find out about these softwares, I decided to make a post to get feedback from actual Yoga owners on how these programs interact, what they do, which ones are prerequisite, and which ones are unnecessary. Please don't take this as a blanket answer. This is just what I have found. It might be right - it might be wrong. I'm looking for others to post their experiences as well. Lenovo System Interface Foundation Driver - Necessary prerequisite (missing driver in device manager without it). It allows the Lenovo Utility and Lenovo Companion to work. Lenovo Yoga Mode Control - Necessary if you want to use your yoga to seemlessly change between all the different modes (laptop, tablet, tent, stand). This software is responsible for autorotating and putting Windows into tablet mode. Lenovo Utility - Recommended(?) This one I'm not too sure on. I remember that I was missing some function that I wanted but I can't remember what it was now. Maybe battery cycle count and health? Lenovo Companion - I don't have this one installed and don't think it's necessary but would like someone else to shed some light here.Read other answers

Most people talk about there CPU fans being to loud and that they wanna know how to decrease their speed because theyd rather have peace and quiet and have there CPU take some heat. Well i have speedfan and my cpu fan rpm sits around 3400rpm, ive seen it get into the 5000rpm ranges. How would i go about having full control of my cpu fan? I wanna have it running at maximum speed all the time, i wanna bring my cpu temps below 40C at idle.
It depends on the type of fan you have.
Some of them alter their own speed according to the temperature, some of them have their speed adjusted by the motherboard.
How many wires run into your fan? If it's three wires then there is no way to control its speed. If it's four wires then connecting the speed control wire to +5V should do the trick.

how to increase processor speed?
Unless the CPU is setup with a speed boost of some sort, there is no accepted way to "overclock" a OEM processor.

Dear Friends;
I connect with internet through my wireless phoneset which speed is 230.4kbps. If I want to increase the speed of internet, should I change the internet service provider or the RAM of PC has also influence on internet speed.
Sorry if I could not explain well and sorry for my lack of basic knowledge.
ram won't assist in internet speed. if you are going through a phoneset modem, you are most likely limited by that technology. You can go to http://www.dslreports.com/stest and see how you rank compared to similar technologies, but I would suspect you are about at the limit.
However, I've been wrong before, so if you show up on the bottom edge of a similar connection type, the next step would be contacting and/or switching isp's.
Just nosing around the web and found this tip. Go to control panel/internet options/connections/lan settings and uncheck automaticaly detect settings.
Seems to speed up the loading time for web pages for me Hope it does for you
That will be very dependant on the type of connection you have.
I use a BT connection and doing what you suggest increased its reliability a little but i have seen no change in connection speed.
I did it about a week ago so i have had time to see if there was any other benefits.
Few days ago I was testing my computer at: (http://www.pcpitstop.com/ )and everything was fine except my download speed which was only 18 kbs(dial-up internet, 56modem). I'd checked for adware, spyware, viruses etc. and found nothing so at the and I've disabled Spyware blaster and done my test again. This time download speed was 41 kbs which is quite reasonable. I repeated this action several times(unable and disable Spyware blaster) just to make sure and every time when S.B. was disabled my download speed was at least two times higher than before. So if anyone have similar problem try this, you don't have anything to loose!
thats normal, also people using software like zonealarm ect will also notice slowdown speed as well.

I verywell could be. The download speed is determined by several factors. The most restrictive is how much bandwidth will the remote server let you have to download the software. I have 6Mbps download speed. MajorGeeks and Download.com seldom allow me more than 250Kbps and it is not uncommon to be as low as 150Kbps.

but how do i increase the speed too somthing like 512kb or somthing alike please
anybody who knows anyrhing about this please help
Bit torrent and the like are peer to peer software and work on the basis that you take pieces of the item you want from people who have either the full file or part of it, in a sense this means the actual download speed is dictated by how many people are giving the file (seeding) and how fast there connection is to the internet, if for instance the majority were still on an old dial up then you would see a slow connection and download rate, however if they have a good broadband speed then the download speed would increase.
You cant do anything about the speed other than to try and get a file from those who have a good internet connection, as this isnt something you can guess at then your stuffed and have to wait for the file at whatever speed you can get it at.
I will say this, ensure your router (if you use one) has the correct ports opened on it to allow BT to connect properly, and remember that BT itself is an illegal method of sharing files and you run the risk of being taken to court for any files you choose to download.

TSG which is very slow in loading it now comes up almost instantly. I'm always skeptical about anything new but this seems to work as advertised, just thought you'd like to know.
Alright, I may be totally wrong on this but I figured it was worth asking about just incase...
I have dialup, first of all, meaning im connected at 53kps usually.
However, when I download things, like via download managers or torrents or something, it is very rare for me to get a better speed than 5kps.
So my question is, is there a way to allocate/tweak my bandwith or something to let my download managers/torrent programs use more and thus download faster than 5kps?
Any suggestions are welcome, even if they make only slight improvements (on dialup even 1~2kps diffrence is pretty important =/)
Not quite sure what you mean by "5 kps", but I will assume you mean 5 kB/s
That is actually a very good result on dial-up, and equates to a sustained stransfer of 40 - 50 kb/s. ("b" = bits, "B" = Bytes).
Many people on dial-up would die for those results....
5 kB/s is 5 x 8 x (error correction overheads) giving 40 or 50 kb/s.
You must have a good modem and good copper to the telephone exchange....I know of nothing that can magically push more data through the phone line, you are already well up to the physical limit possible.

hi guys, is there a way to increase wifi speed to make i go fast like a cable connection?
any surgestions would be good?
Hi there
1)Your Router needs to support the new Wireless-N standard up to 600 mbs from the presemt 54 mbs (WIRELESS-G).
2) Your Wireless card need to support it too.
Wireless-N routers are a bit more expensive -- and the problem is that if you are using a Laptop it's not easy to change the wireless chip so you'll have to use an external USB Wireless-N card -- also not cheap.
I don't think there will be too many PUBLIC WI FI places that will have wireless -n system for ages yet so you are stuck with wireless g @ 54 MBS max.
If you are on a shared wireless connection then the number of users will also slow it down -- especially if you have a load of users such as in a Hotel downloading Music / streaming audio into their hotel rooms etc.
Here's a wiki on Wireless-n (do further research as always with wiki).
My computer is running extremely slow when it comes to browsers. IE 8 is always crashing and Firefox takes forever to load. Is there anyway I can get my computer to speed up?
Disk clean up, scan for viruses/spyware/malware, Disk defragment.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. trade panel that specializes in patent disputes will review a potentially key decision in the patent fight between Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc over smartphones and tablets.
The panel, the International Trade Commission, also sent part of the dispute back to judge, who ruled in October that Samsung, the world's top maker of smartphones, infringed four Apple patents but did not violate two others.
The full commission said on Wednesday it would review the judge's decision, and asked the agency judge to take a second look at portions of two patents where he had found that Samsung infringed.
One of the patents in question allows the use of a headset with the smartphone while the other allows the device to show an image on a screen with a second, translucent image over it.
Apple had filed a complaint in mid-2011, accusing Samsung of infringing its patents in making its Captivate, Transform and Fascinate smartphones, as well as the Galaxy Tablet.
Apple is waging war on several fronts against Google, whose Android software powers many of Samsung's devices. The battles between Apple and Samsung have taken place in some 10 countries as they vie for market share in the booming mobile industry.
The case at the International Trade Commission is No. 337-796.

Posts Tagged 'Commercial Janitorial Services in Savage MN'
Commercial Cleaning Companies Near Me Savage MN
Many people struggle to understand what janitorial services do for residential and commercial customers, but it is actually very easy to explain. These services can actually offer a whole range of different things to customers, with most of the work that is done actually depending on the needs and wants of the customer. Some homeowners use these service providers to keep their windows clean, whereas others use them to keep their floors polished, whereas others may use them for a full range of maintenance services. The most extreme packages include full building maintenance, where the external janitorial team will take steps to ensure that they are completely on top of all of the maintenance needs at that property, including monitoring and anticipating future risks which may occur.
That is why we do and offer Commercial Cleaning Companies Near Me in Savage MN area!
Janitorial Services also take the time to arrange a schedule that fits in with the needs of the customer. Sometimes they are required to attend every single day, and sometimes they are only required to attend a few times per month. These service providers are also flexible about what time they will attend during the day (or night).
This flexibility can help to make them even more appealing to customers, who may want to get services early in the morning, later in the evening, or even during the night, when no one will be around to inhibit the performance of the janitors.
Janitorial Services - Janitor Safety TipsWhen you work for janitorial services, you could work in schools, factories, hospitals, or offices. The job can be hard and does require a lot of stamina. Hazards can also be associated with being a janitor. Working as a janitor for a janitorial service, you are subjected to various chemical and physical hazards. This can include lifting things on a constant basis, using heavy equipment for cleaning, bending, stooping, being on your feet for eight hours a day, using strong chemicals for cleaning purposes, and more. Any of these hazards can lead to a severe injury and could cause life-long injury.To help minimize the risks of accidents and hazards a janitorial service should hold training sessions and go over what a janitor can do to work safely. This includes: • A very common job for a janitor is lifting heavy equipment. To escape muscle sprains and back injuries make sure that you use proper lifting techniques. When lifting heavy things bend your knees and lift from the floor making sure that you avoid turning and twisting your back. • To relieve stress from continuous work take short breaks • If you are working with someone and have to lift heavy equipment ask the person working with you to help so you do not have to carry the entire load alone. It could adversely affect your body and cause an injury. You should also have on a lift belt when you have to lift a heavy load on your own or with someone else. • Make sure that the shoes you are wearing are comfortable and have slip proof rubber soles to get a proper grip on the floor, especially if it is wet because you may have floors to mop. • Most janitors have carts that carry their equipment like mops, brooms, dust rags, cleaners, etc. Make sure that they are in good condition and roll smoothly across the floors. If there is a wobbly wheel or other problems with the cart that you let your janitorial service know so it can be fixed. When pushing them lean forward so it makes pushing them easier. Take time to stretch after pushing the cart so you do not get kinks in your back or cause a back strain from pushing the cart too much. • One of the main duties is cleaning the floors. It can be mopping or vacuuming the floor. Be sure that when cleaning the floor that you maintain proper body posture. When mopping make sure that the handle is held tightly and that it is done in a rhythmical motion to avoid tiring. • When taking out the trash, cleaning the bathrooms, and messing with chemicals and cleaners wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.
Janitors are able to carry out work both inside and outside the property, so long as the property that they are attending to is owned or rented by the client. Being able to do both indoor and outdoor work means that they are able to provide a joined up service, to ensure that clients do not need to hire two separate teams of people. When janitors are hired for a package such as this, it is much easier for them to coordinate their efforts, so that the whole area meets your exacting standards.
Commercial Cleaning Companies Near Me Savage MN – Great service!
Appearances count. A dirty, dull office not only lowers employee morale, it also deters potential clients from visiting your establishment as well. Make the best and lasting impression you can by finding a thorough and affordable janitorial cleaning service.It is best to locate a firm that has been selling office cleaning products and providing commercial janitorial service to the Southern California market for many years. They are experts at what they do. Find a firm that sells cleaning supplies and consumable janitorial products to Orange County and Ventura County including Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino. Firms that provide both traditional office cleaning supplies and services as well as advanced eco-friendly products are becoming more common. Higher standards and a comprehensive office cleaning plan are needed to begin and maintain a successful green cleaning program. When contacting a janitorial firm, ask if their technicians have been trained on environmentally friendly products and taken the proper courses to maximize cleanliness of your office, building or retail establishment. As a commitment to the environment, they should also utilize recycling programs.You want to find a firm that will meet with you and discuss your cleaning needs. After touring the building or facility, data should be entered regarding your cleaning needs, what you like or dislike about any prior cleaning companies, and what your expectations demand.You want a firm that will provide day-to-day janitorial services for any size facility. From trash disposal, vacuuming and carpet shampooing, to more elaborate services like exterior window washing or professional lawn care service for your business. A janitorial service that offers experienced personnel to keep your workplace spotless.You also want to contract with a cleaning service that knows providing a high quality janitorial service requires attention to quality control.

Whether you are a large or a small sized business establishment or you need daily, weekly or monthly office cleaning, they are able to customize their service to suit your requirements.
Commercial Cleaning and Janitorial ServicesYou've bought all your cleaning supplies and equipment, told everyone you know that you have started a cleaning business and now you are ready to start bidding on jobs and getting down to work. So your next step is to meet with potential clients and put together a bid for their cleaning services. But how do you know what to charge for cleaning your potential client's building?Start off by remembering that you are in business to make a profit and earn a living. Sometimes the tendency is to price our services low in order to get our foot in the door. Pricing your services too low may mean you will end up working for very little per hour. And more importantly, will have little left over to reinvest in the growth of your company. There are cleaning companies that charge more than others and have all the work they can handle and there are companies that have lower fees yet are struggling to find work! Don't sell yourself short or you will not be able to earn a living off your cleaning business.The rates for commercial cleaning vary widely depending upon the area you live. Hourly rates are anywhere from $15 to $40 per hour depending on the type of services that you provide, whether or not you're doing the work yourself, and your company's overhead and expenses. Monthly square footage rates could run anywhere from $.05 to $.20 per square foot depending on the type of building you are cleaning and the frequency of cleaning. You'll be able to bid a higher square footage price for medical facilities versus office buildings due to more specialized cleaning needs. You'll likely bid a lower square footage price for large buildings versus small buildings. For example, you may bid $.08 per square foot for a 50,000 square foot building versus $.12 per square foot for an 8,000 square foot building. You will most likely be charging your customers a monthly price and you will need to figure that price by estimating how long it will take to perform the services that your client has requested. The more productive you or your employees are, the higher the hourly production rate. If you're able to clean 3,500 square feet per hour, your profit will be higher than if you're only able to clean 2,500 square feet per hour, so adjust your price accordingly.It's also a good idea to find out what the "going rates" are in your area. A few phone calls to competitors may be necessary to get an idea of the basic charges in your area. Use a script when you call so you can compare apples to apples. So what do you say when you call? Try something like, "Hi, I have a small business office that I would like cleaned once a week. It is 3000 square feet and has two small restrooms. Can you give me a rough estimate of what you what you charge per month?" The person may or may not give you an estimate. Most contractors will insist on walking through the building, but it is worth a few phone calls so you have a ballpark figure on what cleaning companies in the area are charging.To estimate what you should charge for cleaning a building, start by doing a walk-through with the building owner or manager. Keep track of the following:* Frequency of cleaning (once a week, three times a week, five times a week). If frequency is one or two times per week, it's best to estimate your time and multiply by your hourly rate. If cleaning 3 or more times per week you can estimate your time by the square foot.* Overall square feet* Types of floor surfaces and square footage of each (carpet, vinyl flooring, ceramic tile)* Types of rooms - general office, break room, restrooms. Also note the number of toilets/stalls and fixtures in each restroom, as well as the types of restroom supplies used.* Any special considerations - heavy traffic areas, elevators, unusual requests, etc.* Make note of the specific services the client is seeking such as emptying trash, dusting, restroom cleaning, mopping and vacuuming.The following services are specialized services and you should bid them separately, and list a per-service charge on your bid:* Stripping and Waxing (.25¢ - .50¢ per square foot)* Buffing/Burnishing (.03¢ - .07¢ per square foot)* Machine Cleaning of Ceramic Tile floors (.12¢ - .21¢ per square foot)* Carpet Cleaning (.12¢ - .25¢ per square foot)* Carpet Spotting ($20 - $40 per hour)* Cleaning appliances (microwave, refrigerator) - $10 - $35 per appliance* Window Washing ($1.00 - $5.00 per pane)Make sure you take enough notes so you can put together a realistic price that is fair to the client and one in which you will make a profit. After your first meeting with the client, go back to your office look through your notes and decide what it will cost you to clean the building. You may have to consult a production cleaning rate chart to determine how long it will take you and your staff to clean the building. Once you have an idea of how long it will take to clean the building you can put your cost estimate together:* Estimate the time it will take by using a production cleaning rate chart or calculator. * Determine your labor cost for cleaning the building one time.* Determine your monthly labor cost to clean the building.* Estimate a monthly cost for supplies. This will be a fairly low figure, perhaps 1 or 2% of monthly sales.* Be sure to add in a profit margin!Add up the figures and you will come up with your monthly cost. If you have access to a bidding calculator you will be able to put in a series of numbers and come up with a price. A bidding calculator will also show what profit you can expect to make. It is also advisable to add a first time cleaning charge. This is usually an hourly rate of perhaps $20 - $25 an hour. The first time you go through a building it will take longer and you may find the previous cleaning service may have left dirt in cracks and crevices that you will have to clean the first time through.Once you have your price established, put your bid packet together. Your bid packet should specify what you are responsible for and what the client is responsible for (buying their own trash can liners, restrooms supplies, etc.). It should also include the monthly charge for cleaning services, how long the agreement is for, and the procedure to cancel the contract if either party is unhappy.It is important to learn how to price your cleaning services so your customers know you are providing a professional service at a realistic price and so that you make a profit. After all, if you do not make a profit you won't stay in business very long!
Looking for a Quote For your Commercial Cleaning Companies Near Me?Have you ever decided to just pick up the phone and "wing-it" when cold calling for your cleaning business? How did it go? My guess is not so well...When making a sales call you only have about 10 seconds to grab your prospect's attention so your first impression has to be really strong. Having a prepared (and practiced) script is essential for your success.Practicing your script so it sounds natural is very important. Have you ever received a call from a telemarketer whom you could tell was reading from a script? That's NOT the kind of script we want to use here. Practice with friends or family members so you can have them play the role of the prospect. You want to have enough flexibility in the script so if the conversation suddenly changes, you're flexible enough to go with the flow.When writing your script, be sure to write the way you talk, and be sure to get to the point quickly. Don't waste time by saying something like, "how are you today"? This gives them a chance to end the call before it's even started. Greet your prospect by name, and then say, "My name is [John Jones], and I'm with [company name]." Next you want to have a simple, yet strong sentence that explains what you do. For example, "I work with building owners and managers who have cleaning issues that they've never been able to resolve." You need to be creative here -- don't say the same thing everyone else says. Use phrases that help to establish you as an expert. Maybe something like, "we specialize in...", or "we're known for...".Use your niche market to your advantage. If you're calling a bank, let them know that you also work with other banks in the area. This lets your prospect know that you're familiar with their type of business. Plus it's likely that they know other bankers in town so if you can drop a name, this is a good time to do it.Next you want to describe your service stating benefits, not features. At this point in the conversation, they don't care that you're bonded and insured, but they probably do care that you specialize in marble floor care if they have a beautiful new marble floor. They're also interested in how you can save them money so think about specific ways you're able to save them money.The goal of the phone call should be to make an appointment with the prospect. You're not trying to make a sale just yet. So end the call by setting up a time to meet. Ask them for 10 - 15 minutes of their time, and give them a couple choices. Don't simply end the call by saying something like, "Can we meet next week to discuss this?" Instead say, "Would next Tuesday at 10 a.m. be a good time to meet?"When you have the meeting scheduled, be sure to confirm the prospect's name, title, phone number and address, and make sure they have your contact information as well. To recap, here's what you need for your cold-calling script:· Greeting. "Hello Mr. Jones. My name is ______, and I'm with _______."· Say what you do. "I work with building owners and managers who have cleaning issues that they've never been able to resolve."· State your benefits. "We specialize in servicing banks with high-end surfaces like granite flooring and countertops. ABC Bank recently had us restore their granite floor and was very pleased with the results."· Ask for a meeting. "I would like to meet with you for about 15 minutes to discuss what we can do for your company. Would next Tuesday at 10 a.m. be a good time to meet?"· Confirm contact information and be sure to write the appointment on your calendar!


text: Venice is the administrative capital city of the Veneto region and of the north-eastern part of Italy, and also the capital of the homonymous province and the Veneto region. Historically known as the Serenissima, Venice was capital of the Republic of Venice for more than a millennium. It was also declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The city is located, along with numerous small islands, in the lagoon of Venice, in the north-western part of the Adriatic Sea. Its city counts 268,736 inhabitants covering the territory of the city itself as well as the mainland city of Mestre and Marghera and the various islands of its lagoon. The heart of Venice is Piazza San Marco, by definition the only one to deserve the name of square: the other "piazzas" are in fact called "fields" or "little squares". The Basilica of San Marco turns out at the centre of the square, coloured with gold and covered with mosaics that tell the story of Venice, together with wonderful bas-reliefs that illustrate the months of the year. Another symbol of the city is the Rialto Bridge: a work of art by Antonio Da Ponte and built in 1591. The Rialto Bridge was the only way of crossing the Grand Canal on foot: in fact, it remained the only bridge until 1854, when the Academia Bridge was built. On the sides of the central part of the bridge there are luxury shops whereas, at the end of it, in the San Polo district, you can visit the picturesque fish market and the San Giacomo di Rialto Church.Venice is a city of art par excellence but its fame throughout the world is mainly related to the fact that the city's water canals replace the roads.

Benefits of Wireless Printers
- Wireless printers allow the convenience of multiple-user access. Do you have a large family of computer users? Do you work in a concentrated working space with multiple people vying for the use of a printer? This is not a problem if you purchase a wireless product. You don't have to manually connect to anything -- you just send your print jobs remotely and the printer completes the job for you.
- Wireless printing will save you money in the long run. Rather than purchasing a printer for every computer in your home or office, you can buy a limited number of wireless printers and have users share the product. In addition, you'll save on electricity costs because only one printer will be in use.
- 'Wireless' denotes being free from wires. This means less clutter around your work space. In addition, another USB port will be made available on your computer, so you can make use of other devices.
- The availability of wireless devices is growing. This means your wireless printer can be used with additional products such as digital cameras, laptops, and cell phones, which have the ability to send wireless information to printers. You'll not only be able to print wirelessly from your computer, but you can potentially do the same from a number of other devices as well as technology expands.
- Many printers offer all-in-one capabilities. You won't only get a wireless printer, but also a fax machine, copier, and scanner as well.

In terms of career earnings Rory McIlroy remains a long way adrift of his hero Tiger Woods, but the Northern Irishman could step into a fresh financial spectrum if a $250m (£156m) deal with Nike is finally confirmed.
Rumours about a McIlroy tie-up with Nike have been rife for some time and the golfer's management company is refusing to comment on the speculation. However, it is believed that McIlroy is now close to a 10-year agreement with the sports manufacturing giant which, crucially, would see him change equipment for the first time since turning professional.
McIlroy's existing contracts with Titleist, which supplies him with clubs and golf balls, the Dubai-based hotel group Jumeirah, the sunglasses manufacturer Oakley, Santander bank, and the watchmaker Audemars Piguet are thought to have netted him $10m (£6.25m). On top of that, McIlroy will have received bonuses for his two major championship wins to date.
Nike routinely insists on exclusive branding on its elite sportsmen, which would result in settlement fees being required towards those sponsors of McIlroy whose contracts are not about to expire. The Titleist deal will end at the end of this year barring a now unlikely extension.
McIlroy has career earnings of roughly £15m at the age of just 23. A deal with Nike would cement an earnings status far beyond that of any other European golfer, though leaving him still a long way short of Woods.
Woods collected $40m (£25m) for a five-year contract with Nike in 1996. When that was extended in 2001, the value had increased to $105m (£66m); despite Woods falling from grace in the intervening years, his Nike deal is not thought to have decreased. Interestingly, joint marketing of McIlroy and Woods could actually prove beneficial to both players.
Statistics released in the United States in 2011 suggested that Woods had picked up $62m (£39m) in off-course earnings – and Phil Mickelson $38m (£24m) – in that year alone, compared to McIlroy's $5.9m (£3.7m).
McIlroy holds obvious appeal to Nike and is generally regarded as infinitely marketable because of his clean-cut image and apparent inability to court controversy, his on-course performances aside. Despite his relationship with the tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, who is sponsored by Adidas, McIlroy has avoided negative publicity as his career has blossomed.
Nike stuck by Woods after the string of revelations about his personal life which led to the American losing other endorsements. The episode did, however, cause embarrassment given the brand's career-long association with Woods.
Nike was also wounded by the jailing of the NFL player Michael Vick for his part in a dog-fighting scene and, more recently, witnessed the fall from grace of Lance Armstrong. Both those figures held high-profile Nike sponsorships.

Erica Korb and Alisa Mendelsohn, the two Yale fencers sent to the NCAAs at Brandeis College, had strong showings in the first day of competition, finishing 9th and 15th, respectively, after four rounds. As a team, Yale is in 13th place.
Korb, who was Yale's top fencer in the epee category all season, won nine duels, earning a .643 winning percentage and finishing ninth overall in the women's epee. Anna Garina from Wayne State leads the category with a .929 percentage.
In foil, Mendelsohn won 6 of her 14 battles to achieve a .429 percentage and 15th place out of 24 fencers. Alicja Kryczalo from Notre Dame won 13 of 14 to lead the competition.
The Elis went no one to compete in saber, but Emma Baratta from CC olumbia and Barnard scored a perfect record to sit in first place.
With their showings, Mendelsohn and Korb have the Elis standing in 13th place with 15 points. The women's finals will continue today, with the men's competition set to start on Saturday.

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Barry launches a missile against Col. Moammar Gadhafi's military on March 29, 2011. (Photo: Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Jonathan Sunderman/U.S. Navy via the NYT)
The recent decision by the Obama administration to spearhead the NATO effort to oust Muammar Qaddafi from power in Libya reflects the oft-evident American penchant for war as a substitute for intelligent diplomacy. It was this mindset during the George W. Bush administration which led the US into pursuing two expensive and indecisive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Barack Obama has now opted to pursue a third. The hubris evident in both the recent Republican and current Democratic administrations illustrates the power of war's appeal to American political leaders, especially as an index of "effective" leadership when such leadership has been missing on matters of domestic policy. A sycophantic mainstream press has also promoted the culture of war and its imputation of "manliness/courage" for testing the mettle of American leaders. In effect, the recourse to war has acquired its own compelling, if not quite rational, logic within contemporary American political culture. For those who were influenced favorably by Barack Obama's pre-presidential critique of the decision to go to war in Iraq and the Nobel Peace Prize that he received, it has become evident that Obama has been transformed into simply another president held captive by the American culture of war. As he prepares for the 2012 presidential election campaign, the symbolic importance of war and "victory" in the various military campaigns which he has overseen or undertaken will be integral to the debates about the merits of his campaign for re-election. It will be interesting to observe whether these wars of choice pursued by an American president – gifted with a Nobel Peace Prize – will lead to serious examination of a society which has adopted a policy of preparedness for permanent war.
This use of war as a substitute for American diplomacy was one consequence of the post-1945 establishment of a large standing military establishment that sought to expand American influence across the entire international system. During the cold war, the disintegration of the European and Japanese empires paved the way for the United States, the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China to engage in wars by proxy in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. While the deployment of nuclear weapons stabilized Europe's internal conflict, the lack of such deployments in the non-European world created conditions for conventional wars to test and reshape the balance of power among regional states and their superpower patrons. The Korean and Vietnam Wars, the Israeli-Arab Wars in the Middle East and the Ogaden War in the Horn of Africa emerged out of this process, as did the later wars triggered by the decolonization of Angola and Mozambique in Southern Africa.
These "proxy" wars also served as useful laboratories for the testing of weapons and other technologies of war in the ever more desperate efforts to ensure that the major arms producers and military powers could maintain or secure an advantage for their arms producers and militaries. Large standing military establishments, the increasing sophistication of technologies that could be deployed for purposes of war and the use of military "Keynesianism" – government expenditure on military requirements – as a mechanism of macro-economic policy management, have made war preparation among the major powers, rather than war itself, a central component of contemporary international life. In effect, the culture and preparedness for war seems to have become part of the business cycle among the major powers even as the cost and duration of direct war has made large scale armed conflict increasingly unlikely among them. The advent and spread of nuclear weapons and the increasing sophistication of missile delivery systems has placed a high premium on the development of strategies of mutual deterrence among the major powers even as they refine offensive strategies for war as a last resort. One indicator of these shifts in strategic planning is the development and testing of anti-satellite weapons that can be used to disrupt command, control and communications systems of adversaries.
However, war remains a vital instrument of statecraft in the relations between the major powers and lesser powers, while the international arms trade is an important component of inter-state relations among all states. The trade in weapons also has an impact upon the restructuring of the hierarchies of power within the international system and as a trigger of armed conflict at various levels. One vivid example of this complex interplay of conflict across various levels has been the multi-decade conflicts in the Horn of Africa. The Ethiopian revolution of the 1970s was a catalyst for a widening crisis across the region including the Somali-Ethiopian War over the Ogaden region. The war accompanied Ethiopia's switch from its alliance with the United States to seeking the support of the Soviet Union, while Somalia did the reverse – switching from Soviet to American support. Later, Eritrea won its long-running struggle for independence from Ethiopia, while Somalia has disintegrated as a viable state over the past two decades. The latter's fragmentation led to a failed American-inspired "peace-keeping" intervention by the United Nations, the rise of radical Islamic militancy and the country's emergence as a haven for pirates, who pose an ongoing threat to international shipping in the region. The decades of regional instability have generated civil war, interstate war, international intervention by way of the United States, the Soviet Union and the United Nations and the creation of a zone of perennial armed conflict.
The Horn of Africa stands today as a failure of cold war military competition and the legacies of that failure have yet to be understood fully by American policymakers even after the end of the cold war. The ambitions of American policymakers during the cold war to secure strategic dominance over the world outside of the Soviet Union and its allies were constantly contested by the Warsaw Pact members and other actors, such as the Ethiopian revolutionary regime, which did not subscribe to the idea of an American-dominated international system. Since the end of the cold war and the collapse of the Soviet Union, the challenges to American plans to secure a position of long-term dominance over the planet have multiplied with the rise of China and India, the restructuring of the politics of Europe under German leadership and its adoption of a strategic entente with Russia and France and the increasingly fraught politics of Islamic resurgence in the Middle East, the Mediterranean littoral and among the states of South and Central Asia. The rise of China as the industrial workshop of the world and its search for raw materials and markets, has transformed the global political economy and has opened the opportunities for greater Chinese involvement in South America and Africa – areas historically dominated by America and its European allies. The American search for global pre-eminence is widely recognized as unrealistic in light of the transformation of the international system since the end of the cold war, and the Obama administration is now engaged in an effort to forge an alternative vision and role for the United States in this changed international environment.
The events in the Horn of Africa occurred in the wake of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War and the use by the Arab states of an oil embargo to pressure the United States and its allies to moderate Israeli behavior in the Middle East. The oil embargo was effective because of the end of American self-sufficiency in the production of petroleum from 1970 onward. The 1973 oil crisis signaled American dependence upon oil exports from the region and the recycling of petro-dollars by way of arms purchases and investment in the American economy. The American dependence has grown over the decades as American domestic oil production has been unable to meet domestic demand. The 1973 crisis also heightened the strategic significance of the Middle East and Persian Gulf in American foreign policy given the dependence of its European allies and Japan upon the oil resources of the. In effect, the 1970s marked the increasing vulnerability of the United States to reverses in the international system. The 1973 oil crisis, the Ethiopian Revolution of 1974 and the end of the Vietnam War in 1975 accompanied by the collapse of the Portuguese imperial rule in Africa, were all harbingers of a changing international context in which the United States found itself in a moment of profound crisis. The American strategic crisis of the mid-1970s redounded to the benefit of the Soviet Union, which reaped the windfall of increased prices of oil as a major exporter. Further, the Soviets had acquired strategic parity in nuclear weapons with the US and its support for North Vietnam in the quest to reunite Vietnam, its military and security assistance for the maintenance of Ethiopia's territoriality against Somalia's effort to annex the Ogaden and the support for Cuban intervention in Angola against South African efforts to occupy the country, all enhanced the Soviet reputation on the global stage.
One consequence of that increasing sense of American vulnerability in the 1970s was the failure of many American policymakers to recognize that the US was confronting a world in which its culture of war had proven, as in Vietnam, strategically counterproductive and fiscally irresponsible. The Vietnam War had forced the Nixon administration to abandon the gold standard to relieve increasing pressure on the international role and value of the dollar. By the end of the decade, the United States found itself confronting the rise of radical Islamic and anti-Western movements in both Iran and Saudi Arabia – the pillars of American policy in the Middle East, a second oil crisis in 1979 triggered by the growing sense of panic about political instability in the Middle East after the ouster of the shah of Iran and the establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran and the subsequent Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. The confluence of radical Islam and instability in the international oil markets had transformed the strategic context of the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, a region within which the United States had been the dominant power. The seizure of the American embassy in Iran by radicals became an iconic representation of the American dilemma in the region in 1979-1980. The failure of the Carter administration to secure the release of the American hostages in the embassy led to the election of Ronald Reagan, who promised a more muscular foreign policy to "redeem" American influence in the international system.
The recent protests that swept the long-serving Tunisian and Egyptian leaders from power and the ongoing challenges to regimes in Libya, Bahrain and Yemen, accompanied by a rapid increase in international oil prices, have reawakened fears of the events that shook the region in the 1970s. After the disastrous American occupation of Iraq under the Bush administration and the American failure to exert the required leverage to forge an Israel-Palestinian peace accord with the creation of a viable Palestinian state under the Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations, American influence in the Middle East and the wider region is again under pressure. The decision to mount an aerial assault on the Qaddafi regime should be seen within the context of the Obama administration's determination to pursue a "muscular" policy to maintain its strategic influence in this key oil-producing region. Further, its tacit support for the Saudi intervention to bolster the minority Sunni ruling dynasty in the face of protests in the Shia majority Persian Gulf state of Bahrain and its not so subtle encouragement of street protests in both Yemen and Syria are aimed at reminding Iran and other groups that the US-Saudi alliance still has the capacity to disrupt the growth of Iranian and other anti-American influences across the Middle East. In effect, the Obama administration, as it looks to the 2012 election campaign, is determined to avoid the fate of the Carter administration in 1979-1980 of appearing indecisive in the Middle East and Persian Gulf.
Notwithstanding this "muscular" approach to recent events in the region, it is unclear whether the seductions of intervention in Afghanistan will allow the United States to escape the dilemma that has been evident since the 1970s – can the US dependence upon oil imports be overcome by expanding the American military presence in key energy producing regions of the world? Further, in what ways, will American dependence continue to erode the country's economic competitiveness and its influence as a global power? These were the questions that emerged during the events that rocked the international system of the 1970s. If the assumption of the Obama administration is that war and military interventions in the region will solve those fundamental challenges, that approach is an indication that war continues to trump intelligent diplomacy in American grand strategy.

hz, tick, tickadj, stathz, profhz - system time model
extern int hz; extern int tick; extern int tickadj; extern int stathz; extern int profhz;
The system is driven by hardclock(9) interrupts, which occur at hz fre- quency, and are used to keep track of real time. On systems where another independent clock is available, it is set at stathz frequency, and used to gather timing statistics. Ideally, it would be better to drive stathz with a slightly randomized clock, that is still a fixed number on average, as this would prevent malicious processes from working around the scheduler. If a separate clock is not available, stathz is set to hz. If profiling is enabled, the clock normally used to drive stathz may be run at a higher rate profhz, which must be a multiple of stathz. This will give higher resolution profiling information. Normally, hardclock(9) increments time by tick each time it is called. If the system clock has drifted, adjtime(2) may be used to skew this incre- ment, but by no more than ten times tickadj. Those systems variables are available as a struct clockinfo from sysctl(3).

CONCORD — For Michael Hutchings, D.J. Moffitt, Austin Hooper and Victor Egu, a key sack, timely interception or bone-jarring tackle speaks louder than words.
The four seniors are highly recruited defensive players for the De La Salle High football team and lead the Spartans into their fourth consecutive Open Division state championship game. They rally their teammates with their actions on the field rather than their voices.
"They're all pretty quiet," said De La Salle defensive coordinator Terry Eidson. "What they bring to the game is a lot of physicality. Hutch, Hooper and D.J. game in and game out are our guys making plays and hits out there."
Hutchings, Moffitt, Hooper and Egu help make up a front seven that has handcuffed prolific offenses the last two weeks. Hooper and Egu make life miserable for opposing quarterbacks from their defensive end spots, and linebackers Hutchings and Moffitt consistently deliver the biggest hits on ball carriers.
Hutchings, a four-star recruit by Scout and Rivals, has been the backbone of the De La Salle defense with Moffitt, Hooper and Egu all missing time earlier this year with injuries.
Coach Bob Ladouceur says Hutchings, a USC-bound middle linebacker, is as important to this year's team as Blake Renaud (Boise State) and Brady Amack (Army) were to recent squads. Hutchings took over where Michael Barton, now at Cal, left off last year, becoming the quarterback of the defense, Eidson said.
"He can assess the other team's offense, reading plays and letting the others know what is coming," Eidson said of Hutchings. "He's really stepped up this season."
"I learned a lot from (Barton), we've been close since my sophomore year and still are," said Hutchings, a three-year starter. "I learned work ethic from him and how to read and study teams and to let my play do the talking."
Hooper missed five games during the regular season with a partial MCL tear. It's no coincidence that the Spartans defense has been at its best in recent weeks with its star defensive end now 100 percent. Hooper, who is 6-foot-4 and 247 pounds and also starts at tight end, has a long list of college suitors, including most of the Pac-12.
Egu, a Cal commit, and Moffitt, who holds offers from seven Division I schools according to Scout, both sat out games with concussions but have made big plays for a starting defensive unit that has allowed just 14 points in its last three playoff games. Egu has three sacks and a pick-six in that stretch.
On Saturday at the Home Depot Center in Carson, the Spartans defense will face its biggest challenge yet in a Centennial-Corona squad that is averaging a state-best 50.4 points with a balanced attack.
How the Spartans perform Saturday could define their legacy. Ladouceur already calls this De La Salle defense one of his best ever. Eidson also has heaps of praise for this year's group but wants to see how they fare in their final test Saturday before making any comparisons.
"So far, they rank up there as one of the best, for sure," said Ladouceur, who has been coaching the Spartans since 1979. "Let's see what they can do against (Centennial) because they're hard to defend."

Comet ISON Appears Intact
A new image of the sunward plunging Comet ISON taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope on October 9, 2013, suggests that the comet is intact despite some predictions that the fragile icy nucleus might disintegrate as the Sun warms it. The comet will pass closest to the Sun on November 28.
On Thursday, October 17 at 4pm EDT there will be a live chat event with Hubble's comet scientists to discuss the new image and latest research findings on ISON. Visit: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c9dk60hck3hnpmp73db0ejvldc0 .

longchamp le pliage small tote France says wont defend Central African Republic government against rebels
BANGUI Reuters Frances military will not defend Central African Republics government against advancing rebels, French President Francois Hollande said on Thursday, and regional African leaders tried to broker a ceasefire deal.

Insurgents on motorbikes and pickups have driven to within 75 km 45 miles of the capital Bangui in recent weeks, threatening to end President Francois Bozizes nearly 10 years as leader of the turbulent, resourcerich country.
If we have a presence, its not to protect a regime, its to protect our nationals and our interests and in no way to intervene in the internal business of a country, in this case the Central African Republic, Hollande said, speaking on the sidelines of a visit to a wholesale food market outside Paris.
Those days are over, he added.
The comments came after a plea from Bozizes government for French military support to stop the SELEKA rebel coalition, which says it will topple the president unless he implements in full a previous peace deal.
CAR Foreign Minister Antoine Gambi declined to comment on Hollandes remarks in a phone interview with Reuters but said the government supported talks with the rebels.
Officials from around central Africa are due to meet in Bangui later on Thursday to open talks with the government and rebels to end the crisis, and a rebel spokesman said figthers temporarily halted their advance for dialogue.
We will not enter Bangui, Colonel Djouma Narkoyo, the rebel spokesman, told Reuters by telephone. Previous rebel promises to stop advancing have been broken.
The atmosphere remained tense in Bangui the day after antirebel protests broke out, and residents were stocking up on food and water in preparation for a rebel push into the city, built up on the banks of a river.
CAR soldiers deployed at strategic sites and French soldiers reinforced security at the embassy after protestors threw rocks at the building on Wednesday.
This message will once again be stressed to the CARs charge daffaires in Paris, who has been summoned this afternoon, a ministry spokesman said.
He also said France condemned the rebels for pursuing hostilities and urged all sides to commit to talks.
France has 250 soldiers in its landlocked former colony as part of a peacekeeping mission and Paris in the past has ousted or propped up governments including by using airstrikes to defend Bozize against rebels in 2006.
Bozize came to power in a 2003 rebellion that overthrew President AngeFelix Patasse.
However, France is increasingly reluctant to directly intervene in conflicts in its former colonies. Since coming to power in May, Hollande has promised to end its shadowy relations with former colonies and put ties on a healthier footing.
Some 1,200 French nationals live in CAR, mostly in the capital, according to the French foreign ministry, where they typically work for mining firms or aid groups.
French nuclear energy group Areva mines the Bakouma uranium deposit in CARs south Frances biggest commercial interest in the country and uses the uranium to power nuclear plants in France.
The rebel push through a string of towns has highlighted the instability of a country that has remained poor since independence in 1960 despite rich deposits of uranium, gold and diamonds. Average income is barely over $2 a day.
A military source and an aid worker said the rebels had got as far as Damara, 75 km 47 miles from Bangui, by late afternoon on Wednesday, having skirted Sibut, where some 150 Chadian soldiers had earlier been deployed to try and block a push s longchamp le pliage small tote outh by a rebel coalition.
With a government that holds little sway outside the capital, some parts of the country have long endured the consequences of conflicts in troubled neighbours Chad, Sudan a longchamp le pliage small tot longchamp le pliage small tote e nd the Democratic Republic of Congo spilling over. longchamp le pliage small tote
