On paper, the Archos 5 touch-screen Internet tablet comes across like an Apple iPod Touch on steroids. Every spec is designed to be over-the-top, from the 720p HD video playback and 4.8-inch screen, to the integrated GPS, Bluetooth, and FM transmitter. The capacities on offer are also beyond belief, starting with a $249 8GB model with a slender body and microSD slot, all the way up to a chunky, hard-drive-based 500GB version selling for $489.
In short: every aspect of the Archos 5 is made to lure hard-core digital media nerds away from products like the Zune HD and the iPod Touch. Wish the iPod Touch had GPS? Try the Archos 5. Disappointed by the relatively small screen and limited video codec support of the Zune HD? The Archos 5 is a video junkie's dream come true. Even the open-ended appeal of the iPhone App Store is addressed with the inclusion of a handful of Google Android applications and a built-in Archos download store where a limited selection of additional applications can be installed.
And while the barrage of features included on the Archos 5 are sure to feel liberating for technically demanding users, we suspect that the majority of people will prefer the more refined qualities and characteristics of an iPod Touch or a proper Android smartphone with full application support.
This isn't the first time around for the Archos 5. In 2008, a nearly identical version of the Archos 5 hit store shelves; the device shared many of the features of this 2009 model, yet lacked compatibility with Android applications. The complaints we held with the design of the 2008 model still stand: the whole thing is a smudge magnet; the headphone jack is placed right where you would hold the device; and the reflective screen is a step backward from the matte finish used on the beloved 605 WiFi.
That said, there's plenty to appreciate about the Archos 5's design and the improvements made to the latest models. For example, we love the built -in metal kickstand that hinges out from the back--a brilliant feature, especially for watching movie-length video content. The dimensions also make us happy, with the thinner 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB models measuring 5.5 inches wide, 3 inches tall, and a relatively svelte 0.4 inch thick (hard-drive models are twice as thick). In real-world terms, that means the Archos 5 is just small enough to fit into the front or back pocket of your jeans.
Aside from the Archos 5's notable distinction as the company's thinnest portable media player to date, the device is also one of the first from Archos to use a Micro-USB PC connection. Compared with the proprietary cables used on most Archos players in the past, the adoption of Micro-USB is a step in the right direction in terms of convenience, making it easier to acquire generic replacement cables. Proprietary dock connections on the bottom of the Archos 5 help to maintain compatibility with accessories such as AV media docks and battery packs.
Hardware features
The Archos 5 is crammed with so many features, that to make sense of them all, we're going to break them out into separate sections for hardware, media playback, and Android. The most notable hardware features of the Archos 5 include Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth, but lesser features such as an FM radio/transmitter, microphone, speaker, and accelerometer, are also worth mentioning.
If you're going to call your product an "Internet tablet," you can't skimp on Wi-Fi support. Fortunately, the Archos 5 juggles 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi bands with ease and handles hot-spot sign-on pages with a dexterity befitting of its name. Advanced users also have the capability of tethering the Archos 5 to their cell phones, allowing the device to piggyback on a cellular data connection. In practice, however, setting up phone tethering involves a complicated dance of carrier access point names and Bluetooth pairing that is not for the faint of heart.
Next up, we have GPS, a feature Archos offered with last year's Archos 5 but required an extra $130 for a car dock. Even then, Archos' previous dance with GPS was a car-only system that you couldn't walk with. In the latest Archos 5, GPS is built right into the hardware and users will only need to pay a one-time fee of $39 to activate the maps for a complete NDrive GPS navigation system.
In theory, the inclusion of GPS marks a clear advantage the Archos 5 holds over the iPod Touch. Unfortunately, real-world performance issues make the Archos 5 GPS experience more frustrating than it's worth. Under the firmware we tested (1.2.03), we found that GPS reception took an inordinate amount of time to locate a signal around the San Francisco Bay Area. In the few instances where signals were strong enough to pinpoint our location, the GPS capabilities were surprisingly thorough, allowing for turn-by-turn driving directions and an in-depth, relatively accurate selection of local points of interest. But with an average cold-boot time of 45 seconds and the unpredictable amount of time it takes to locate a valid GPS signal, our experience with the Archos 5 had us feeling that it was more of an obstacle for travel than an asset. We can't say that the GPS doesn't work, but it certainly doesn't work quickly and we're reluctant to characterize the feature as a reason to buy the Archos 5.
We have no complaints when it comes to the Archos 5's handling of Bluetooth. Our Altec Lansing Backbeat 904 stereo headset paired relatively easily with the Archos 5, offering the kind of audio quality and wireless range (around 30 feet) we expect from Bluetooth. Bluetooth 2.0 extras, such as AVRCP, EDR, and HID, help to extend the capabilities beyond basic A2DP audio streaming.
Unfortunately, the remaining Archos 5 hardware features either disappoint or barely warrant mention. For example, the microSD card slot included on the 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB models of the Archos 5 would sometimes declare various memory cards as being corrupted, yet recognize them after a reboot of the hardware.
The FM transmitter requires an attached pair of headphones in order to operate it, but it still failed to provide us with an acceptable signal among the clogged bandwidth of San Francisco. The FM radio receiver worked well and offers RDS station and song IDs, however, using a self-described "Internet tablet" for its FM radio feels like using a Lexus for its cigarette lighter. The integrated accelerometer is useful for reorienting Web pages but is slow to react compared with the iPod Touch or Zune HD. More often than not, we noticed the accelerometer as an irritation when it triggered accidentally while flat on a table or tipped too far back while walking.

Then toast strips of pound cake for a dessert of "French fries." Don't forget red-tinted frosting for ketchup!
DIY Daylight Saving Time
Set all the clocks in the house an hour or two early—then ease the blow of an early wake-up by taking the kiddos out for breakfast.
Sweet Phone
Replace your teen's cell phone with a chocolate version before they leave for school. They'll wonder if they should dial it or eat it.

For breakfast, swap out your usual sunny side up egg for a bowl of yogurt with a canned peach half on top. Get bonus points for serving it with a tall glass of milk or mug of coffee that's been frozen solid!

Reports Of EBT Fraud Increase
State welfare officials appear to be doing a better job of rooting out possible food stamp fraud.
The state Inspector General says staff members at the Department of Transitional Assistance reported 14,431 cases of potential fraud or abuse of electronic benefit transfer cards, formerly called food stamps, to investigators through the first ten months of 2013. That's an 87% increase over the same period in 2012.
Department officials attributed most of the increase to a streamlined system to report potential fraud.
The Boston Globe reports that Commissioner Stacey Monahan says her office more than quadrupled the number of investigators last year to root out fraud and tweaked the computer system to make it easier for staff to file a report when they suspect fraud.

Zapletal, Jan
Finding Jan Zapletal: Plus Bonus Obscure Prospect Updates!Submitted by pete on January 31, 2007 - 23:36
There was a comment left a few weeks back in comments regarding the whereabouts of defenseman Jan Zapletal who seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth after spending most of last season with the Vsetin organization in the Czech Republic. Well, Zapletal is playing in the Czech 2.liga (third tier) for VSKA Technika Brno where he has 1 goal and 4 points in 19 games with 28 penalty minutes and an even rating.
Defenseman Marek Posmyk, whom you might remember was acquired along with Mike Johnson in the Darcy Tucker trade many moons ago, is still playing in the Extraliaga for Ceske Budejovice (now going by the name HC Mountfield) where he has 8 goals and 12 points in 36 games with 67 penalty minutes and a -10 rating. Incidentally, looking through the Extraliga leading scorers, I can't believe Robert Reichel is still alive and playing hockey.
In Switzerland, forward Eero Somervuori is still making bank for Ambri-Piotta of the NLA where he is third on his team in scoring behind former Falcons star J.G. Trudel and former Thrasher Hnat Domenechelli. In 40 games Somervuori has 13 goals and 30 points with 16 penalty minutes.
Oh by the way, Sascha Goc is leading his team in scoring in the German DEL. In 30 games with the Hannover Scorpions the oldest of the Goc boys has 16 goals and 38 points with 87 penalty minutes and a +6 rating. I'm half expecting an e-mail from the shadowy Mr. X telling us we might want to put Goc back up on the prospects page too.

As it is an annual tradition in the Vensel household every July, I picked up one of the many fantasy football preview magazines on Saturday while picking up some groceries. I went with the one from Sports Illustrated this year because the cover caught my eye most, and because it had many reality football nuggets sprinkled in.
The most appealing of those was the magazine's "enemy lines" feature, where "a rival coach" gives his take on each team's offensive players for fantasy nuts like me. So what does an anonymous enemy coach think about the Ravens? Well, to sum it up, Ray Rice is really good, Anquan Boldin can't get separation like he used to and is on the decline, Jacoby Jones is nothing more than a return specialist, and Joe Flacco can't do it all by himself.
The criticism of Flacco, who remains a popular topic of discussion around Baltimore, was easily the harshest.
"For this offense to have success, it needs to be able to run the ball. Quarterback Joe Flacco regressed last year, and I think part of that was because the defensive pressure got to him," the coach said of Flacco, who tied a career-high with 12 interceptions in 2011. "He's not a player who can just drop back and beat you with his arm; he needs a successful running game to open things up. I would be shocked if he had a breakthrough season."
He does, however, expect Torrey Smith to break out in Year Two.
"That dude is fast. He ran by us a few times," the coach said of the wide receiver. "He doesn't have many routes in his tree, but he'll be a more polished receiver now that he's had a full off-season."
Other tidbits from the enemy coach include a little praise for third-year tight ends Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta and a lot of hype for rookie running back Bernard Pierce, a third-round pick whom the coach says "has a future in this league."
Any guesses who the anonymous coach may be? I'm not going to throw any guesses out there, but I will point out that Smith had 11 catches for 198 receiving yards and a touchdown in two games against the Cincinnati Bengals last season. Hmmm…

Severe storms include thunderstorms and land gales. Thunderstorms can produce hail, wind gusts, flash floods, tornadoes, and, lightning which can cause death, injury and damage to property. Land gales are simply gale force winds that occur over the land.
What is a severe storm?
There are two types of severe storms: thunderstorms and land gales. Thunderstorms can produce hail, wind gusts, flash floods, tornadoes, and, lightning which can cause death, injury and damage to property. Thunderstorms are more common and generally more dangerous than land gales. Land gales are simply gale force winds that occur over the land.
What you can do to prepare for severe storm season?
- Be aware of severe storm patterns in your area (contact your local council for advice);
- Trim trees, remove overhanging branches and clear gutters and downpipes, clear yard of loose materials and rubbish;
- Secure loose roof tiles or sheets;
- Protect sky lights with wire mesh and fit glass windows and doors with shutters or insect screens;
- Prepare an emergency kit (emergency phone numbers, portable radio, torch, spare batteries, first aid kit, strong plastic bags for clothing, valuables, and plastic sheets, timber strips, hammers and nails for temporary repairs);
- Check boats are securely moored, or protected on land; and
- Check home insurance is current and adequate (Include building debris clean up/disposal costs).
What you can do when a severe storm approaches?
- Listen to a local radio station for severe storm advice and warnings;
- Shelter and secure animals;
- Put loose garden furniture, toys etc inside;
- Park vehicles under solid shelter or cover with firmly tied tarpaulins/blankets;
- Secure all external doors and windows and draw curtains;
- Keep valuables, medications, spare clothing in plastic bags and your emergency kit handy; and
- Disconnect all electrical items, external TV/radio aerials and computer modems.
What you can do when a severe storm strikes?
- Listen to your (portable) radio for severe storm updates;
- Stay inside and shelter well clear of windows, doors and skylights;
- If the building starts to break up, shelter in the strongest part (cellar, internal room, hallway or built-in wardrobe) under a mattress, doona or a strong table or bench;
- If outdoors, seek solid enclosed shelter;
- If driving, stop clear of trees, power lines and streams; and
- Don't use a fixed telephone during a severe storm due to lightning danger.
What you can do after a severe storm has hit?

Video: "Thursday" live by Pet Shop Boys (featuring Example)
HD Video, photo and autographs obtained in person by G.
It's Thursday! There's no better way to celebrate this glorious day than by watching this glorious live video of Pet Shop Boys' recent single "Thursday," which they performed at Terminal 5 in New York on April 26, 2014. Released in 2013, the track is one of PSB's best singles in years and unlike most of their contemporaries who continue to release extremely lackluster new music, Pet Shop Boys most recent album "Electric" is up there with their best work.
I think it's a crime this song did not get more attention, but by sharing this video and seeking out the original, there is still time to make this track a hit. The song features an unlikely appearance by the rapper Example and as you are going to see/hear, this song is classic Pet Shop Boys.
Just click play…. why not?

It almost doesn't matter what we read as long as we are reading to ourselves and to our children.
Reading is the crux of all education and learning. Without superior reading skills, all other subjects will be harder, take more time to learn and might not interest us.
We read to our children when they are little, so why stop?
One of my favorite days when teaching school was reading a Shakespeare play in prose to my Advanced Placement students. I had them put their heads down on their desks and just listen. After they understood the format of the play and which morals, themes and characters were represented, we were able to read/act the play from a stronger stance.
Why do we stop reading to our children? Why do we not encourage them to read more? Why do we not insist that our children read for as many hours as they play video games?
Please don't let your children spend a summer without books as their companions. Vegetation belongs in the ground, not in your children's heads.
Following are a few suggestions to encourage your children's reading skills.
• Read to them every day – it doesn't matter how old they are.
• Require that they read at least an hour a day – it doesn't need to be at one sitting.
• Help them select age-appropriate books they would enjoy.
• Use the library as a family.
• Schedule family reading time each day or night.
• Make it cool – dress up as characters, eat food from the time period, speak in accents. Enjoy it with them – you get to be a child again.
Do you remember the library reading contests? How many books did you read in a summer? Do you remember the star charts? How many of us read just to earn a star? You can offer stars to children of all ages. Encouragement doesn't need to come in the form of a paper star, but ideally we should urge everyone to read.
I'm frequently asked whether it matters if students read a hard copy or an electronic book. My answer is that it is a personal preference. The advantage of a device is that you can travel with it. The advantage of a hard copy is that you can touch it. It doesn't matter, as long as we all read.

WND EXCLUSIVE: Court protects graphic abortion images
The state Supreme Court in Wyoming has issued a ruling protecting the graphic abortion violence photographs and images that pro-life protesters use to shock people into a debate on the procedures used to kill the unborn in America.
The ruling came today in a conflict between Operation Save America and the town of Jackson, which went to court and without notifying OSA obtained an order that the pro-life organization could not exercise members' First Amendment rights in parts of Jackson last year.
A large part of the town's concern was the "large photographs" of "disfigured and aborted fetus images."
According to a report from Jackson Police Lt. Robert Gilliam, "the group has consistently demonstrated throughout the town of Jackson showing the same graphic photographs. The group has refused repeated requests from me and other law enforcement officials to remove these graphic photographs. This came after police received several hundred phone calls, emails, personal visits and face to face complaints from citizens who see the photographs as obscene and offensive."
The city's ultimately obtained an ex parte hearing, where a judge issued a temporary restraining order silencing the pro-life message without notifying OSA. The ex parte order resulted in Rev. Chet Gallegher and Pastor Mark Holick, two of the protesters, ultimately being arrested for violating that order.
The organization, whose members hail from a number of states, dispatched protesters to Jackson in May 2011 to raise awareness to the abortion clinic run by Brent Blue.
Town officials were alarmed that Boy Scouts attending their 2011 annual Elk Fest in the town at the same time might see the images.
But the state Supreme Court found that just as speech on issues of public concern is protected, so are those images.
"We find that the ex parte [temporary restraining order] was issued in violation of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and Rule 65 of the Wyoming Rules of Civil Procedure," the opinion said.
The opinion explained that the First Amendment does not protect everything – fraud, defamation, obscenity and fighting words are not protected, for example.
But it added, "Speech on public issues or matters of public concern 'are classic forms of speech that lie at the heart of the First Amendment.' … Speech directed at abortion policy is public issue speech."
"The fact that the messages conveyed by those communications may be offensive to their recipients does not deprive them of constitutional protection," the panel wrote. "As a general matter, we have indicated that in public debate our own citizens must tolerate insulting, and even outrageous, speech in order to provide 'adequate 'breathing space' to the freedoms protected by the First Amendment,'" the opinion said.
"We find that this level of protection must likewise be extended to the graphic photographs OSA chooses to use in its demonstrations," the justices wrote.
"The Supreme Court has stated it will not expand the categories of speech that receive limited protection, such as obscenity, unless there is a demonstration of a longstanding American tradition forbidding such speech or expressive conduct," the opinion said.
The opinion also found that the streets and sidewalks of Jackson are exactly what is thought of regarding a public forum.
Ultimately, the charges stemming from the arrests of the two pastors were dropped, but the appeal was continued to the state's high court because of the likelihood that the situation can be repeated, since the pro-life protesters plan to return to Jackson in just weeks.
Holick, of Spirit One Christian Center, told WND that the group's activities had been routine – handing out brochures about the issue of life, marching sidewalks to declare the message and asking residents to pray for the abortion business operator.
He said while the images do upset people, they should direct their objections to those who made the events captured in the photographs happen.
"Are we more concerned that we're showing the image, or the fact that the image was produced," he wondered. "My children grew up seeing those signs, they understand someone hurt the baby."
Town officials did not respond to a WND request for comment.
Gilliam had explained that he complained to OSA officials about the images.
"The conversations … regarding the graphic signs have been cordial but matter-of-fact like. They acknowledge the signs are graphic and offend most people, but that is their intent. They wish to 'shock' the public into taking their side on the abortion debate in this country," the court ruling noted he said.
"The topic of abortion incites like no other issue in this country today. It divides the nation, our religions, our families, our politics and our society. The issue arouses deep passions that find full expression in full an open and public debate that gives all participants the satisfaction of a fair and full hearing," the opinion said.
There also was no evidence that there was a danger of a "breach of peace" and no reason to have the ordered issued in secret, the opinion said.
"The town has not met its burden of establishing that the TRO ban was necessary to serve the town's interest and that less restrictive measures would not have been adequate," the opinion said.

Ex-State Department intelligence analyst sentenced for leaking documents
A federal judge has sentenced a former State Department intelligence analyst on North Korea to 13 months in prison for passing classified information to a journalist.
In a court proceeding Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said Stephen Kim's criminal act was "a very serious one" committed by a national security expert who lost his "moral compass."
"I take full responsibility," Kim said of his actions.
The case is the latest one brought to conclusion by the Obama administration over leaks of classified information.
The case against Kim stems from a June 2009 story by Fox News journalist James Rosen, who reported that U.S. intelligence officials warned the president and senior U.S. officials that North Korea would respond to a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning nuclear tests with another nuclear test.
Kim's actions were driven "by his own ego and desire for professional advancement," federal prosecutor G. Michael Harvey told the judge.
Kim, 46, pleaded guilty to making an unauthorized disclosure of national defense information. The judge approved an agreement worked out by prosecutors and Kim's lawyers for a term of 13 months in prison and one year of supervised release.
Harvey said Kim's actions were "a danger to our troops and our Korean allies" along one of the most dangerous borders in the world.
Kim's attorney, Abbe Lowell, said Harvey's comments were "a self-serving statement probably drafted by the intelligence community." Lowell said Kim had engaged in a one-time event that was "a mistake." Kim's actions did not reveal the identities of any intelligence sources nor disclose any methods of intelligence gathering, an allegation originally made by prosecutors, said Lowell.
Harvey said Kim's leak took place in "a highly charged atmosphere" in which North Korea conducted a nuclear test just two weeks before Kim passed the classified information along to Rosen in a conversation.
In engaging in the leak, Kim "disclosed what the U.S. knew," Harvey said.
The prosecutor said Kim was "a sophisticated consumer of intelligence about North Korea" and knew what he was doing when he leaked it.
Harvey said Kim exhibited no remorse immediately after the leak and that his contact with the Fox reporter involved dozens of phone calls and emails. Kim had signed a non-disclosure agreement "about the very issue in this case" shortly before the June 11, 2009 leak, the prosecutor said. Kim was a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory employee on detail to the State Department's Bureau of Verification, Compliance and Implementation at the time of the disclosure.
Lowell said that in Kim, the nation has lost a valued member of the national security community.
"He made a decision. ... He is paying a price," Lowell said of his client.
Kim has lost "his security clearance, his job, and his — and his family's — life savings. His marriage dissolved as a result of the pressures and stress of his arrest and prosecution, and he was forced to move out of his home," the court papers stated.
In the biggest leak case the administration has brought to conclusion, Army Pfc. Chelsea Manning, an intelligence analyst, was sentenced to 35 years in prison for leaking hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. documents to the website WikiLeaks.

The House passed the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act on May 17, 1994, as House Resoultion 4277. The Senate passed its version of the legislation on March 2, 1994, as Senate Bill 1560. The central issue between the two bodies was not resolved in their respective versions of the legislation as the House bill called for a three-member board and the Senate for a single Commissioner. The matter went to conference, where the House agreed to the Senate version of the bill. The Conference Report was passed in the Senate on August 5th and in the House on August 11th.

Google Docs is convenient, cheap, and compatible with just about any platform, making collaboration incredibly simple. It's also infuriating, incomplete, and limited. Google Docs wafts in the cloud, just beyond your tinkering fingertips, and you're at the whim of the Google engineers who control the tweaks, fixes, and enhancements.
Since launching Google Spreadsheets in 2006, Google has steadily improved Docs to support complex text documents, worksheets, tables, forms, and presentations. You might have to wait for its software wizards to make the big changes, but you can still apply a few workarounds and hidden features. Want to trim the number of Google Docs browser tabs? Compensate for the lack of a guided spelling checker? Create shortcuts for frequently used text? To make your overall editing experience a bit better, read on; we also offer some tips that you can use with Google's spreadsheet and presentation applications.
(Editor's note: This is the first part of an ongoing series covering fixes for Google Docs annoyances. In this first edition, we tackle the Google Docs text editor.)
Manage Repeated Text
Desktop text editors can use plug-ins and utilities, such as TextExpander for OS X and iOS, to autocomplete frequently repeated words and phrases, such as your professional title or an oft-used line of HTML. If you want to move your text editing to the cloud, Google Docs provides a similar--but limited--function.
Let's say you're a teacher who constantly writes "Needs more explanation" in your students' papers. To save time, go to Tools, Preferences from inside a text document in Google Docs. In the pop-up window that appears, under 'Automatic substitution', type nme below the 'Replace' heading and Needs more explanation below the 'With' heading. Next, click OK.
Back in your document, type nme and press the spacebar: You should see "Needs more explanation" appear automatically. If it doesn't work, go back to Tools, Preferences to make sure that 'Automatic substitution' is checked. Try to choose substitutions that are short and use unique letter combinations, so that Google Docs won't mistakenly overwrite a desired word with a substitution.
Substitution settings are universal, so your canned text will be available to you in any text document in Google Docs. One limitation to this feature is that Google Docs inserts an automatic substitution only as a single line of text, so full signature blocks are beyond its capacity--for now.
View Plain Text Files
If you prefer to use plain desktop text editors such as Emacs, Gedit, Notepad, or Vim, you may find that files created in those apps won't display in Google Docs. Instead, you'll be greeted by something similar to the smiling image here. This happens when you upload a text file with a filename extension that Google Docs can't recognize (such as .sh for Bash scripting files), or when your plain text file lacks an extension entirely. Before you upload a plain text file to Google Docs, right-click the file and select Rename, and then add the .txt filename extension to the end. Now you'll have no problem reading your document in Google Docs.
Simulate a Guided Spelling Checker
Unlike most other text editors, Google Docs has no formal spelling check process and instead checks your spelling on the fly, as many webmail programs do. If you see a word with a red underline beneath it, you can right-click it to view spelling alternatives.
That technique works, but it isn't as good as a guided program that flags all of your potential spelling mistakes one by one. To make Google Docs guide you through all of your typos and errors, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-; to go to the next misspelling in your document and Ctrl-[ to see the previous one.
Claim More Real Estate
Google Docs wastes valuable screen real estate by surrounding the menu and toolbars with big empty spaces. That extra space, added to your browser's window dressing (called "browser chrome"), leaves you with less usable room to get your work done. To improve this layout disaster, go to View, Compact Controls or press Ctrl-Shift-F from inside a document. This feature reduces the menu-bar size for text documents, drawings, spreadsheets, and presentations.
Keep in mind that you must set this preference for every separate document type. So if you set compact controls in text documents, for instance, your spreadsheets will not use this layout until you also set it in the spreadsheet editor.
If you want even more space, try viewing your documents in full screen. This setting does not expand into your full display size, but it does take over your entire browser tab and hide all of your Google Docs menus and toolbars. Full screen is a good choice for keyboard shortcut users. Setting a document to full screen is not a permanent preference, however; you must enable it every time you open a document.
Turn Off Notifications
Are you collaborating on an online document, but going nuts due to the constant email notifications from the project? You're not alone. Reacting to user frustrations expressed in several Google Docs discussion threads, Google created a feature that lets you stop email notifications on a per-document basis.
To stop email notifications, open the offending document, click the Comments drop-down menu at the upper right of the screen, and select Notification settings.
In the pop-up window, select Don't send me any email notifications for this doc (not recommended). If a global opt-out is too extreme for you, several filters are available. You could, for example, choose to be notified only when you are mentioned in a comment, or when someone replies to something you commented on. Once you have the settings you want, click OK.
Open Google Docs in the Same Tab or Window
By default, Google Docs opens each of your documents in a new tab, but you can change its behavior so that it takes up only one tab at a time (for the most part).
Click the settings cog in the upper-right corner of your main Google Docs menu (the screen that lists your files), and select Settings. On the next screen, under the 'General' tab, find the 'Where items open:' setting (it should be the third item), and select In the current window. Click Save at the bottom of the menu to exit the screen and return to the main Google Docs page.
Your documents will now open in one tab, except when you create a new file or open a document from another document by selecting File, Open.

Average rate increases for commercial and personal insurance lines continued their upward push through August rising an additional point over the prior month, says MarketScout.
The Dallas-based electronic exchange's property and casualty commercial insurance market barometer puts the composite rate for U.S.-based commercial risks up 5 percent for August. Rates stood up 4 percent for the months of May, June and July of this year.
Commercial property rates in the United States were up 7 percent in August—an acceleration from a 6 percent increase seen in July.
Workers' compensation and general liability rates were up 6 percent in August. Rates for directors' and officers' liability increased a point to 4 percent from 3 percent in July. Employment practices liability insurance rates held steady up 3 percent.
Not all lines saw an uptick in rate increases in August.
Commercial auto rates dropped from up 5 percent in July to up 4 percent in August. Rates for umbrella/excess increased 3 percent in August compared to 4 percent in July.
By account size, rates at small and medium accounts were up 5 percent, large accounts were up 4 percent, and jumbo accounts of over $1 million were up 3 percent, says MarketScout.
From an industry class perspective, rate increases in August were led by 6 percent hikes in manufacturing and contracting.
Looking to personal lines, rates in August this year compared to August last year were up 3 percent—an increase from up 2 percent in July.
Insurance on homes valued at above and below $1 million was up 3 percent in August. Auto insurance rates were up 2 percent for the month.

According to Adam Schefter, Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn has agreed to terms with the Seahawks on a three year, $26 million contract. Schefter reports up to $10 million will be guaranteed.
The ripple effect may make Manning to San Francisco more likely with Alex Smith seemingly becoming more of a priority for the Dolphins. Depending on how his visit to Miami went today, this may put the pressure on San Francisco to push harder for Manning. Or maybe Manning still wants a lifetime contract and neverending pancakes. March Madness!

Kim Kardashian has shared another photo of her baby girl, North West.
Perhaps this week's Parisian adventure without the little one had the new mom feeling extra gushy?
"I missed waking up with my little [angel]," the 32-year-old wrote, using a little angel emoji, posting a picture of her daughter swaddled up in white, with Kanye West.
PHOTOS: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
The last (and only other time) fans saw North's face was in August, when West appeared on "Kris," Kardashian's momager's summer talk show, and shared the first photo of their baby girl. The rapper said he did it so that paparazzi would stop hounding them (and perhaps to give Kris Jenner's final show a ratings boost).
Following the June 15 birth of her daughter, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" starlet had kept a relatively low profile considering she had been out and about (and photographed) nearly every day before North was born.
However, this week, her social-media accounts were abuzz as she finally stepped out for Paris Fashion Week with her rapper-beau. The couple reportedly left their 3-month-old back home as they flew to the City of Light for business and pleasure and collected tons of swag for their baby girl.
On Thursday, Kardashian shared one of the motivators behind her trip: her paternal cousin Cici, who has been battling cancer for 17 years.
"My cousin @cicibussey has had a lifelong dream of attending a couture fashion show! Thank u Kanye & Givenchy for making her dream come true!!! #bucketlist," she wrote on Instagram, posing for a photo with her cousin.
Kardashian later elaborated in a blog post.
"We flew to San Francisco to pick up Cici!" she wrote. "Its been Cici's wish to go to a couture fashion show and Kanye thought bringing Cici to the Givenchy show would make all of her dreams come true!
"Cici, my cousin has always been obsessed with fashion and it makes me so happy I was able to make this happen for her! We picked her up in San Francisco where she was finishing up treatment for her cancer."
Her cousin, who chronicled the trip on her Instagram account, is in need of a bone marrow donor, so Kardashian also urged her fans to see if they're a match.
Oct 2, 2013 | Toast to Cici #1stFashionShow #pfw by KimKardashian on Keek.com
"We flew to Paris and I know Cici couldn't even begin to imagine what Paris fashion week was like! Then we landed in Paris and went straight to a Givenchy fitting! How exciting!!! We met Carine Roitfeld who styled me for the show!!! She is my style icon!"
PHOTOS: See North West's designer wardrobe
Roitfeld, the former French Vogue editor, and Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci, a good friend of West's, styled the reality TV star in two memorable looks that had her capturing headlines in the same manner she did pre-North.
"I wish I had time to shower and change," she added, "but we were on such a right [sic] schedule because right after the fitting we took a train to London for a top secret shoot with Nick Knight!!!! No sleep this trip! But soooo worth it! Xo"
Now that she's back in L.A., Kardashian is also in front of a whole different camera lens. "Super Size Me" filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, who recently shot the One Direction documentary "This Is Us," will be following the frequently photographed star for a special segment on "fame and celebrity," according to Movies Now. Spurlock was seen in several pap photos following Kardashian at LAX this week and will reportedly be using his experience as part of his CNN program, "Inside Man."

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Brandon Roy's career-long battle with his knees will take another turn this week when the Minnesota Timberwolves swingman undergoes yet another procedure (arthroscopy) on his right knee, according to a report by Jason Quick in The Oregonian.
This will be Roy's fifth knee surgery, the first since he made his miraculous comeback from retirement, and his seventh dating back to his high school days in Seattle.
There is no timetable for his return from this latest setback.
Roy's play in the preseason stirred excitement that he might be ready to return to the form that saw him earn three All-Star nods in five seasons in Portland, where he was the face of the franchise before taking a medical retirement in December of 2011 because of arthritic and degenerative knees.
After a year off and getting treatment on his knees, Roy made his comeback with the Timberwolves. But he played in just five games, shooting just 31 percent from the floor and averaging 5.8 points, 4.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds for a team that has had to battle without injured stars Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio through this early stretch of the season.
Roy's troubles began before the regular season began, though, per Quick:
He banged his right knee in Minnesota's final preseason game on Oct. 26 against Milwaukee, forming a bump and a bruise. He said he later aggravated the knee when a teammate bumped him in practice, then again on Nov. 9 in the first half against Indiana. He did not play in the second half of the Indiana game, then missed the next four games.
On Thursday in Minneapolis, Roy was still hopeful he would be able to play Friday in Portland, where he spent his first five seasons. But he said no matter what happens the rest of this season, he has no regrets.
"I wouldn't be disappointed either way,'' Roy said. "If it ends in three weeks, it ends. It's over. I'm totally satisfied with what I've done. I know the sacrifice and the effort that I put into coming back. It took a lot of discipline to get to where I am, That's all I care about: how hard I've worked.''
The Timberwolves didn't bank on Roy playing like the All-Star he was earlier in his career, although it would have been a nice bonus for a team with playoff aspirations. They signed him to a two-year deal that pays him $5.4 million this season with a second year that was non-guaranteed.
If Roy doesn't meet certain standards for games played and other goals, this could very well be the last time we see him on the NBA stage.

Because I have one. The system tray I think would be better off acting like the one in KDE. Uniform icon size forced, and having the icons colums over each when appropriate depending on the panel height. That would be good, right?
Maybe, but you can file requested (or respond on an existing bug) in the Xfce bugzilla.
Done. Submitted to bugzilla as "enhancement" status. Thanks.

The Game posted a phone number on his Twitter page for a music internship and encouraged his more than 580,000 followers to call; turns out the number was actually for the Compton sheriff's station, which was inundated with phone calls for three hours. The Game eventually agreed to take the number down, but later tweeted: "Yall can track a tweet down but cant solve murders ! Dat was an accident but maybe now yall can actually do yall job." During the rush of Game-related calls, the Compton station responded to reports of a missing person, two robberies, a stolen vehicle, and an incident of domestic violence. [Via Rolling Stone]

Dorval AM and H2O AM rewarded at the Citywire France Awards 2016
Natixis Asset Management was singled out at the Citywire France Awards 2016 ceremony, as fund managers from two of its subsidiaries won awards. Bruno Crastes from H2O Asset Management was ranked in the World Bonds category, while Louis Bert and Stéphane Furet from Dorval Asset Management won awards in the French Equities category.
The Citywire France Awards 2016 recognize managers whose funds are registered in France and have consistently posted the best risk-adjusted performances over the last three years (until 31 July 2016). Managers are evaluated on both their individual track record and the record of the funds they managed in an investment sector during that time.
Dorval Asset Management: flexibility with conviction
Louis Bert and Stéphane Furet were awarded first prize in the French Equities category for Dorval Asset Management. Dorval Asset Management is a Natixis Asset Management company, set up in 1993.

The company's fund management team analyzes fundamental trends and adapts its investment processes to calmly steer through stockmarket cycles while safeguarding invested capital. For more than
10 years, CEO Stéphane Furet and Deputy CEO and Chief Investment Officer Louis Bert have applied their stockpicking expertise in French equities in order to select the best manager-company pairings that are capable of making a difference in the long-term. They have done so by favoring "the search for a nice asset, at a good price and above all well-managed...".
H2O Asset Management: performance, liquidity, transparency
Bruno Crastes carried off the top prize in the World Bonds category for H2O Asset Management. H2O Asset Management, a subsidiary of Natixis Asset Management set up in July 2010, sits on the border between a traditional fund management approach and alternative investment management strategies. H2O Asset Management boasts a 37-strong team of senior asset management professionals and has the size, focus and flexibility of a boutique investment management company.

I was involved in a freak accident earlier this week. Knocked me out cold, if only for a few minutes, but when I woke up I made one hell of a momentous decision. It didn't take me long to decide, in fact I'd been mulling it over for several months before this week's unfortunate incident. Trigger happy, though unable to fire that one single bullet. A game of Russian Roulette, played out with 5 empty chambers, never having the courage to fire the 6th because I knew it contained the bullet that would mean the end of days. Now, today, that gun has finally gone off. When I woke this morning I made my mind up. All my social media accounts were going. Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, deleted, terminated, ejected, vanished from view for hopefully the rest of time, my time.
I was sick and tired of tweets, instant messages, likes and dislikes, referrals, endorsements et al. At the end of the day, if someone wants to talk to me, pick up the damn phone, don't email me, text me, like me or whatever else you can do with your smart phone. Just call me. Let's have a proper conversation not a conversation filled with acronyms and crazy EMOJI symbols.I know that a heart-shaped icon means you love me and I realize that there are many faces to choose from, depending on your moods, but come on folks, if you really care, and you really want to show emotion, pick up the phone and talk. There is nothing better than a proper, well versed conversation! Nothing is more meaningful to me than vocal expression, tonal intonation or just plain outright screaming and shouting. It helps to converse the way it was meant to be. You can achieve more speaking 5 words on a phone than you can texting 500 words on an email. It just comes across in the correct manner without the insinuation that text sometimes provides.
No, I am done. All my Facebook buddies, should they care, will find me. All those who followed my tweets will go follow someone else, and all of those who are looking for jobs on Linkedin, well, I'm not the one who's going to employ or endorse you, so go and bother someone else. Enough is enough. This era of so-called advance communication might be great during an uprising, but in my life, it's a complete and utter distraction and therefore a waste of time. God forbid I ever get famous, I will make a conscious decision to remain free from these ball and chain Apps where people seem to spend hours and hours of their short lives entwined in useless and meaningless crap. Who cares about any of this garbage, not me. I really don't care that my friend Suzanne is on her way to Glasgow from London. I can't imagine what my sister thinks when she posts endless videos of her and her new dog on Facebook? Does she expect the whole world to watch? The simple answer is, yes, she does! To me, that's sad.
There is a way to erase yourself off the internet in one foul swoop. It's called Internet Suicide. You can read all about it here ,http://lifehacker.com/5958801/how-to-commit-internet-suicide-and-disappear-from-the-web-forever[/embed]
Although I've not decided to go that far just yet, today I made a giant leap in that direction. I know now that I will never have to even consider checking on my 'status' or my Klout score, because frankly, I don't care. Anyone who wants to read me, will do so and as I said before, if you would like to contact me, you know how to do so, PICK UP THE PHONE!
The way things are going, in 2 years from now, no one will ever talk to anyone else ever again. Maybe that's a good thing? I truly doubt it!

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (March 1, 2013) – The 14th annual Summit of Speed, featuring the Grade 1 Princess Rooney Handicap and Grade 2 Smile Sprint Handicap on Saturday, July 6, and the 22nd Festival of the Sun, which includes the rich finals of the Florida Stallion Stakes on Saturday, Oct. 12, highlight the 2013 stakes program at Calder Casino & Race Course.
In addition to the Princess Rooney and the Smile Sprint, the 2013 Summit of Speed will again include the Grade 3 Azalea Stakes and the Grade 3 Carry Back Stakes, with the latter having produced a Breeders' Cup Sprint winner and Eclipse Award winning champion sprinter in last year's runner-up Trinniberg.
Long known as the signature live racing event at Calder, the Festival of the Sun also has a recent history of producing Eclipse Award winners with Awesome Feather and Big Drama both completing their sweeps of the prestigious Florida Stallion Stakes with rousing Festival of the Sun victories in the My Dear Girl Stakes and the In Reality Stakes. This year's Festival of the Sun will also include the Tropical Park Derby and Frances A. Genter Stakes.
Both the Summit of Speed and the Festival of the Sun will feature multi-race Preview days, with the Summit of Speed Preview slated for June 8 and the Festival of the Sun Preview scheduled for Sept. 14.
For the first time in years, the Calder Derby, which will kick off the 2013 season on opening day, April 6, will be scheduled for 1 1/8 miles on dirt, with a purse increase to $250,000 accompanying the surface switch, changes that position the race as a potential prep for the Kentucky Derby.
The popular Juvenile Showcase, which last season featured a Foolish Pleasure Stakes victory by current leading Kentucky Derby prospect Itsmyluckyday, will be held for the 11th time on Saturday, Aug. 24. The Juvenile Showcase will again feature six stakes solely for 2-year-olds, with $550,000 in purse money to be given away.
The 12th edition of the Florida Million, a showcase day of racing for registered Florida-bred horses featuring eight stakes worth $1 million in purses, on Nov. 9; while a graded-stakes triple header featuring the Grade 3 My Charmer Handicap, Grade 3 Tropical Turf Handicap, and Grade 3 Fred Hooper Handicap is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 7; and a graded-stakes double, including the Grade 3 La Prevoyante Handicap and the Grade 3 W. L. McKnight Handicap will be held on Dec. 28.
The 129-day live racing season at Calder will begin with the 76-day Calder Meet that will run from April 6 until Aug. 31. The 53-day Tropical Meet starts Sept. 1 and will continue until Dec. 29. First race post time for the Calder Meet is 12:50 p.m., with post time for the Tropical Meet set for 12:30 p.m. The 2014 Calder Meet will begin Friday, Jan. 3, with the stakes schedule to be announced later this year.

Tennessee. I'm in Nashville and looking forward to the Akikazu Nakamura and koto performance tomorrow(Feb.15) at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN. I've asked around and nobody knows of any other players or enthusiasts in the area. I've never seen a pro player before. Man, I feel so fortunate. I've been learning by ear and some cd correspondence for 2&1/2 years now and I really need a teacher. I have the feeling I'll be moving to someplace that has a teacher(s). You guys have set up a great forum! Thanks, Kerry......
I teach in Columbus, Ohio and have several students in Cicinnati who come once a month. I'll also be in Cincy April 22/23 at the Cincy museum of Art Festival and be around that weekend for lessons. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you details. You can email me directly.

I'm a novice in western Montana; had one lesson in Seattle, did a world of good, but don't get to Seattle much. I would appreciate any competent teacher traveling through the region to email and we could arrange a lesson in Missoula or Kalispell. Thanks, John Stromnes in Polson

I'm in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Interested in occasional lessons ('Cos I can't afford more), or even just getting together with other players, I've still only ever seen the one flute!
Thank you edosan!

Hi Everybody,
I would recommend that everyone find a teacher in person (if at all possible). Face-to-Face lessons are definitely the best way to learn Shakuhachi!
However, this posting is meant for those of you who are not near (or not able to get to) a Shakuhachi Teacher. For the past 28 years (of my 34 years of teaching) , I have been teaching students "remotely". Up until a few years ago, this was done entirely through cassettes. Now, more and more students are doing a new, perfected "through the computer" method.
While I do have a web-cam and iChat connectivity possibilities, I find that the sound is not as good as my computer ( or older-cassette) method. At present I have about 28 "remote" students in 26 states and 6 foreign countries. They are all doing the cassette or computer method.
This is the way I do Cassette or Computer Lessons:
1-You would send me a check (either $65- for one lesson, or $200- for 4 lessons in advance, thus getting one free lesson...There is no time-limit on taking the 4 lessons), and I would send you back your first lesson with a book of notation (all notation included in the lesson price). Most cassette/computer students have decided to do double-lessons. That is certainly an option as well, but not advisable for your first few lessons.
2-When you were ready (not when you felt that you really "mastered" the first lesson, as that may take quite a while!!) you would send me your version of the first lesson. The site that explains how to work with me via computer lessons is: <http://tinyurl.com/oksu2>
But if you have trouble understanding it, contact my student Tim Larkin <firstname.lastname@example.com> and he will walk you through it. He is very kind, and will patiently "walk you through" the steps, including more information on how we down-load the free recording device as well as help you with any problems you may have. .. My reply (in the case of either via cassette or computer) would consist of a "critique" as well as a new lesson...Thus lesson two is completed, and so on...
By the way, if you are ever in any of the places that I teach in person (New York City, Philadelphia, Syracuse, Baltimore, Rochester, etc....Or any of the Monasteries that I do intensive weekends at, or my annual teaching trips to Mexico, or Japan, etc.), the price is the same for a face-to-face lesson as well as a cassette-lesson.
Looking forward to hearing from you .

Dear Nyogetsu et al,
Is it possible to provide formal grading through "remote" tuition/ assessment?
In Istanbul. Or maybe visiting Istanbul.

@ Senpai - I was planning a scene where Irish gets new clothes. Tatenashi compliments him and he just ingnores her. Ichika compliments him and he just looks away and mutters thanks while his face reddens. Harem girls reaction will be over the top. Is this ho-yay or just normal?
Side note - Kanzashi's seem like fairy tales, actually

In Irish' defense, he trusts Ichika more than he trust Tatenashi, so that reaction is actually normal. Of course, this still qualifies as HoYay from other characters AND readers POV.
Also, Laura is an odd case in ST, in that she knew the concept of mating but not the accurate detail (not even "Insert Tab A into Slot B"). When Charles subdue her down and she's naked, she think she'll get pregnant (adding more fuel into the fire, seeing as Houki and Ichika already misunderstood). The reason? She remember about dogs and cats doing it and got pregnant...
@ Demi
That's nuts, and really beyond my ability and comprehension, no offense.

@ Senpai - More ho yay: During the Silverio Gospel arc, Irish walks out when he hears Tabane hacked the drone. The reason he walked back in? They told him Ichika might get seriously hurt if he didn't.

But honestly, the speeds should still be insane. speed mode should have its name for a reason and shield mode should still be a lot faster than 2nd shift but not quite on the speed of D.
speed mode: (this is percentage in relation to original not additional)
accel - 320%
max - 200%
shield mode:
accel - 180%

@ Senpai - Too bad some people are Yaoi fangirls The fact that Irish says that he trusts Ichika more than abybody and says that he'd do anything to help him just gave them a crapload of doujin ideas.

That's why I'd say priceless. Chifuyu will explain the detail in striaght face actually, so much that most of the students is disgusted instead of aroused...

Here is iptables -L output: Code: Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED PHYSDEV match --physdev-out vif1.0 ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vif1.0 udp spt:bootpc dpt:bootps ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED PHYSDEV match --physdev-out vif1.0 ACCEPT all -- namaka-vm.telergos.net anywhere PHYSDEV match --physdev-in vif1.0 I am ways too newbie to fully understand this configuration, but it looks like it is applied at boot time. I have thought that dom0 may not know what to do with domU packets, but do0 is supposed to act as a bridge! So, it should simply relay these packets on its eth0 interface, letting my switch relay them on the others hosts... Thank you for your time and help!

An Eco-Friendly Playspace in Chicago
Sod Room is a brand new play place in Chicago's South Loop neighborhood. Owners Abdón and Cynthia Valenciana sought to create a healthy and fun place for families using sustainable materials and toys. The build out approach was more deconstruction than demolition, salvaging the original floors, repurposing lumber from existing walls into children's tables, and fashioning lumber and metal from the previous structure into retail shelving and playspace railing.
The Valencianas enlisted designer Jen Talbot, and the results are nothing short of inspiring. Many of these ideas could be perfect in a home.
Sod Room features a train table and dollhouse made from old shipping crates, and the cubbies are repurposed milk crates. Jen Talbot's contributions include a huge grassy knoll and the arboretum-inspired light fixture over the reception area. Over 600 corks were collected so that kids can flex their creativity at the megapixel interactive wall.
Sod Room's boutique carries eco-friendly toys and gifts. Stop by if you're in the South Loop, and learn more about Sod Room on their website.
