Policy Practicum: Carbon Pollution Standards and Carbon Taxes
Law School
Recommended for route(s):
[ Academia ] Environmental Law: Energy & Climate Change
Why it is relevant for ...
[ Academia ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Public Policy : A policy practicum is a great choice for skills-based training in the range of methods available to effect changes in the law. Some policy labs, like this one, offer students an opportunity to do research on the scope of a problem not adequately addressed in current law or regulation. Students will develop proposals for new or revised regulation based on problems identified in the research. This course is a great choice for future environmental lawyers, particularly those interested in pollution and climate change. Participation in this course is an opportunity to have an influence on a critically significant new rulemaking underway by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA is developing new standards in the regulation of greenhouse gases. Students will focus on the risks and benefits of imposing a carbon tax as an alternative proposal to a cap-and-trade policy or some other limit on carbon emissions.
General course Description:
This policy lab seminar will address the ongoing effort by the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce carbon pollution from electric power plants. The EPA is currently in the process of writing New Source Performance Standards for new and existing coal and natural gas fired electric power plants. A critical question in writing these rules will be the extent to which EPA can allow for economically efficient approaches to cutting emissions. States, including California, industry, and environmental groups are all pushing EPA to incorporate some sort of emissions pricing as either a safe harbor or to propose it as a Federal Implementation Plan that States may choose to join. By doing so, not only will costs fall for regulated sectors but also, deeper cuts in emissions may become feasible. Almost all parties expect, based on prior precedent, that such a proposal will take the form of a cap-and-trade or at least some sort of mass-based cap on emissions. Adele Morris, the Policy Director for the Climate and Energy Economics Project at the Brookings Institution, has asked for our assistance in formulating and assessing the legal implications of an alternative proposal - a carbon tax. Students will prepare briefings and written comments to EPA and OMB explaining the potential benefits of a carbon tax approach to New Source Performance Standards as well as exploring the legal risks that might be created by this approach. We anticipate that students will also participate in briefings with key OMB and EPA Air and Radiation staff involved in drafting the proposed rule. The New Source Performance Standard rulemaking for greenhouse gases is the most environmentally and economically significant regulatory effort that EPA will undertake this decade. Partnering with Brookings will allow us to both leverage legal and economic expertise and to inject students into the most exciting environmental policy making currently underway in the United States. Doing so now, before the draft rule is published, allows us to exert maximum influence before the agency loses flexibility to respond to outside input. To develop skills relevant to the work of practicing lawyers, students will research and write parts of memos and written comments to EPA and OMB on behalf of Morris based on their research into various legal and policy aspects of Clean Air Act Section 111 as applied to the problem of power plant emissions. These assignments, for Writing (W) or Professional Writing (PW), or Research (R) credit, will be due before the end of the quarter. Students must obtain the instructor¿s approval of their election to take the course for writing (PW or W) or research (R) credit. After the term begins, students accepted into the course can transfer from section (01) into section (02), which meets the R requirement, with consent of the instructor. Students may normally receive no more than four units for a Policy Lab practicum and no more than a total of eight units of Policy Lab practicums and Directed Research projects combined may be counted toward graduation unless additional units for graduation are approved in advanced by the Petitions Committee. A student cannot receive a letter grade for more than eight units of independent research (Policy Lab practicum, Directed Research, Senior Thesis, and/or Research Track). Any units taken in excess of eight will be graded on a mandatory pass basis. Consent Application: To apply for this course, students must complete and e-mail the Consent Application Form available on the SLS Registrar's Office website (see Registration and Selection of Classes for Stanford Law Students) to the instructors. See Consent Application Form for submission deadline.

Week 12: Bills Lose In Jacksonville 36-14
Losman's Bills future in serious trouble after playoff hopes dashed.
by Steve Saslow
If this was J.P. Losman's last stand it was a pathetic one. When we look back at his Bills career we will look at the 4th quarter interception as the unofficial end of it. Losman threw two picks in all and had a devastating fumble that caused the Bills bend but don't break defense to finally break in the 36-14 loss to the Jaguars. The 2nd straight loss effectively dashes the Bills playoff hopes.
It was said that Losman was on a short leash but he wasn't. He struggled all day but Dick Jauron stuck with him through the usual ups and downs for the inconsistent passer. He threw an interception early in the 2nd quarter in Buffalo territory to setup a field goal that gave the Jaguars a 13-0. The Bills took back the momentum on a nice scoring drive as Losman was 6 for 7 on the drive and hit Anthony Thomas for a touchdown to make it 13-7.
The defense made a big defensive stop on the next possession as Aaron Schobel stuffed Maurice Jones-Drew for a six yard loss on 4th and 1. The Bills could have driven for a go ahead touchdown instead Losman would turn it over on a fumbled QB sneak where he was stretching for a first down. Instead of a Bills lead they trailed by 9 and when the Jaguars drove for another field goal to start the 2nd half, the Bills were in a 19-7 hole.
They did drive down to a score to get within five on a Roscoe Parrish 24 yard touchdown run on a reverse. Thomas carried a heavy load in the drive and in the game. The Bills had two chances to tie the game down by eight. Losman would throw the biggest interception of his career into double coverage but the Bills defense would force a three and out giving Losman one more chance. He failed again as he threw three straight incompletions forcing a punt.
The Jags would score two late touchdowns to make the final score like the way the game was played, a game dominated by the Jaguars. The defense played as inconsistent as Losman did. At times they kept the running game at bay with big losses giving Jones Drew fits. On other plays they were giving up a 50 yard touchdown run by Fred Taylor and a 59 yard touchdown catch by Reggie Williams. Drew was in the negative yardage all game until his 17 yard exclamation point touchdown. Between those touchdowns they would make good plays followed by allowing big third down conversions. The 56% conversion rate on third downs led to five field goals to go along with the three big touchdowns.
Where do the Bills go now? They need to regroup and play out the season to build for next year and that will be with Trent Edwards at quarterback. The coach won't make it official yet but you can bet the Edwards era has begun and the Losman era is over.
Here are our exclusive gameballs and goats from the Bills game against the Jaguars:

(Washington, DC) -- While some older adults are very healthy and have normal sleep patterns, frequent untreated sleep problems may be interfering with the ability of many others to cope with chronic medical conditions, according to a poll released today by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF).
Exploding many common myths that associate poor sleep and less sleep with
aging, the 2003 Sleep in America poll shows that older adults typically do
not sleep less than their younger counterparts, averaging about seven hours
of sleep each night. However, it also finds that some 37 million older
Americans suffer from frequent sleep problems that if ignored, can
complicate the treatment of a host of common, serious age-related medical
conditions, from arthritis to diabetes, heart and lung disease and
depression. Poor sleep is also associated with three other problems
affecting many older adults: bodily pain, excess weight and ambulatory
restrictions, such as difficulty walking or going up and down stairs.
"The 2003 Sleep in America poll indicates that poor health and not age is a
major reason why many older people in this country report sleep problems,
providing an important wake up call that identifying and treating these
sleep problems must be a priority concern," said Richard L. Gelula, NSF's
executive director. "The fact that a person is 60 or 70 years old doesn't
preclude the possibility of sleeping well and benefiting from this
restorative process to remain vital and active. That's why we must drive
home the message that sleeping well is vital to aging well."
Marking the Foundation's first effort to look at the sleep habits and
patterns of America's older adults - those between the ages of 55 and 84 -
NSF's 2003 Sleep in America poll finds a direct association between the
number of diagnosed medical conditions that older adults report and the
quality of their sleep. The more medical conditions, the more sleep
However, NSF's new poll shows that poor sleep among older adults often goes
unnoticed by the medical community. Although the majority of older adults
(67%) report frequent
sleep problems, only a small fraction (one in eight) says his or her sleep
problems have been diagnosed. This means of the 37 million older adults
reporting sleep problems, only about seven million have been diagnosed,
leaving 30 million to count sheep. NSF is urging the medical community to
treat sleep as an integral part of disease management, especially in older
"In spite of the emerging science linking sleep and health, only a small
fraction of the many reported sleep complaints of older adults are actually
diagnosed and treated," says NSF President, James K. Walsh, PhD. "The 2003
Sleep in America poll reinforces the position that sleep problems should not
be viewed as an aspect of normal aging, and they can significantly increase
the overall burden of illness on patients," Walsh adds.
Dr. Walsh is Executive Director and Senior Scientist of the Sleep Medicine
and Research Center at St. Luke's Hospital in Chesterfield, Mo.
Sleep and Health for Older Americans
NSF's 2003 Sleep in America poll shows that inadequate sleep is clearly
associated with many of the major diseases prevalent in older adults. Of
special significance, the poll links ongoing sleep problems with 82 percent
of those who report being diagnosed with depression, 81 percent who have
suffered a stroke, 76 percent diagnosed with heart disease, and 75 percent
diagnosed with lung disease. Sleep problems are also a factor for 72
percent of older adults diagnosed with diabetes or arthritis, and 71 percent
of those who have been diagnosed with hypertension.

Competitive fields for Sharjah's first racemeeting on Saturday
Al Basti Equiworld generously sponsor the first racemeeting at Sharjah on Saturday afternoon and have been rewarded with a competitive racecard.
There are two Thoroughbred handicaps at Sharjah`s first fixture of the season with the first of these, race four, over 2000m has attracted a field of 12.
There would be no more popular winner than Florentine Ruler, trained by Doug Watson for the afternoon`s sponsor Malih Al Basti.
The mount of Tadhg O`Shea, he has the advantage of a run already this season at Meydan and Watson said: "He will have come on for that first run and he ran very well at Sharjah last season. We are trying a visor and hope he can go well."
Erwan Charpy trains Natural Law who will appreciate this step up in trip after a pleasing return to action at Jebel Ali last week. Ted Durcan, who won on the horse in the UK, takes the ride.
Bawadi should certainly not be ruled out for Mubarak Bin Shafya and Pat Cosgrave after a good run at Abu Dhabi, while Bin Shamardal is another who ran well on his seasonal return. The mount of Wayne Smith, he is trained by Musabah Al Muhairi.
The other Thoroughbred handicap, over 1700m, is the penultimate race on the card and old rivals Gulf Of Gold and Shahin Shah clash again over the course and distance that the latter beat the former in November 2009.
Watson trains Gulf Of Gold who goes particularly well fresh and may be able to gain revenge on Shahin Shah, now trained by Ernst Oertel.
Cho Cho Fever and Dahes may be best of the rest in a race which probably will not take a lot of winning.
The best is saved to last with regards the Purebred Arabian action with a 1700m conditions race completing the card.
Only seven are set to go to post, with two of the original nine who were declared having been withdrawn, but it looks a quality race with course specialists Fantastique MHF, Knife and Estiqraar all in opposition.
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum owns three of the runners with his retained jockey Tadhg O`Shea electing to ride Fantastique MHF who has won on all four of his previous starts on the course.
Gill Duffield trains Estiqraar, a winner on his only previous visit to Sharjah, for the same owner and Royston Ffrench takes the mount.
His Sharjah victory was achieved at the expense of Knife, trained by Tony Manuel and a regular in this kind of race. It would be no surprise to see these three dominate proceedings.

Remembering Fred Wilson
January 10, 2011
By Chuck Charnquist B.S. '58
His 'Hi padnah!' greeting was genuine. He looked you square in the eye when he spoke and he held your attention. A Sports Illustrated writer called him "blunt, humorous and country-articulate." Provost Jane Atkinson, in a letter to the college community telling of Fred Wilson's passing on December 27, said he was a Lewis & Clark legend and noted that he had engendered deep loyalty and appreciation in his students, many of whom became life-long friends.
In fact, Fred Wilson's ability to build friendship and respect for the college and what it stands for reached far beyond the sports fields and classrooms during his 32 years as a coach, faculty member and administrator on Palatine Hill.
Wilson passed away at the age of 85. A memorial is scheduled on the Lewis & Clark campus for January 23, 2 p.m., at the Agnes Flanagan Chapel.
Fred O. Wilson was one of five children born to Francis Marion ("Doc") and Runa Wilson of Warrenton, Oregon. He played high school football, basketball and baseball in that small coastal town and often jokingly bragged that he graduated in the top six of his 1944 class, but afterwards noting that there were only six in the class. Like many of his generation, Fred joined the military right out of high school and saw duty with the U.S. Air Force in Europe in the closing days of World War II.
Following his discharge, Wilson enrolled at the University of Oregon where he played on the Duck football team. He transferred to Lewis & Clark in the spring of 1948 and began a life-long love affair with all things Pioneer.
Fred went on to excel in three sports, earning three letters each in baseball, basketball and football. He was an all-conference infielder in baseball; a guard on the 1948-49 basketball team that won the school's first ever Northwest Conference championship, and defensive captain and first-team all-NWC on the great undefeated 1950 football team.
After graduation in 1951, Wilson taught and coached for five years, first at Rainier then Albany, Oregon, high schools. He answered the call of his college football mentor Joe Huston in 1957 and returned to his alma mater as head baseball and assistant football coach.
When Huston stepped aside to concentrate on duties as athletic director in 1965, Wilson coached both baseball and football for two years. 1966-67 was tremendous for Fred and his Pioneers. The football team finished with an 8-1 record and the Northwest Conference title, earning him NAIA District 2 Coach of the Year honors, and the baseball team that spring went 15-3 in league play and also won the conference title.
Overall, Fred coached football for 20 years, baseball for 11, had a turn at coaching wrestling, and was the school's athletic director for 17 years. But if he had a favorite, it may have been golf coach, a position he filled for 19 years until his retirement in 1989. Wilson was at his competitive best with a golf club in hand, whether coaching or challenging a friend's shot on the green.
Wilson is a five-time inductee into the Pioneer Athletic Hall of Fame—as an individual, team member and coach. The playing surface in Griswold Stadium was named "Fred Wilson Field" in his honor in 2006. This past summer, it was resurfaced and rededicated with Fred in attendance. Despite failing health in the past couple of years, he was a regular presence at Pioneer athletic events.
Fred is survived by his wife of 47 years, Virginia; sons Daniel and Terry; grandchildren Lily, Henry, Brady and Kelsey, and a sister, Marion Krebs of Encinitas, California.
The family would like all memorial gifts made to the Fred Wilson Endowment. Started in October of 2006, in conjunction with the naming of the field in Griswold Stadium, this endowment enhances the critical funds essential for the recruitment of quality student-athletes in all sports.

Why am I not receiving promised emails from specific Intuit individuals when I have no problem receiving system-generated emails?
From the answer: Hello idf_abe9b7bf-fb0 , It's possible that you're using a custom email domain (email created for the business), that's why you're unable to receive the emails.

Kevin Clash, the Voice of Elmo, Shows Off His Husky Pipes on 'The View' [VIDEO]
We always knew there was a person behind loveable 'Sesame Street' character Elmo. But who knew he'd have such a surprisingly deep speaking voice?
Puppeteer Kevin Clash stopped by 'The View' to promote his new documentary 'Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey.' While there, he surprised the hosts with a voice that sounded more like Barry White than a Muppet. But, when he slipped an Elmo puppet on and greeted each of the ladies, it was pure furry monster magic. Watch the fun below.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox, Sept 18, 2011
Mesh Safety Pool Covers are Green!
Mesh safety pool covers are usually green colored, this is true - although you can buy them nowadays made in nearly any color. This post is about how and why mesh pool covers are environmentally friendly. Mesh pool covers are green, or eco-friendly, and if you have one on your pool for winter use or as a year 'round safety cover - you are making a reducing landfill waste, reducing plastic manufacturing and are also saving water.
1. Mesh pool covers save water. When closing a mesh covered pool, the water level is lowered 12 inches below the tile, and allowed to fill up gradually during the winter, from rain and snow melt. This improves water condition, first of all, because rain water is essentially very pure and dilutes the level of dissolved solids in your pool water. But the main thing is that it saves thousands of gallons of water per year because with a mesh pool cover, you usually do not have to add water during your pool opening. It's already topped-off!
2. Mesh pool covers reduce plastics production. Many of the covers available to us here in the U.S. are made in China, where environmental restrictions on manufacturing or enforcement may be lacking. Plastics (covers) and vinyl (water bags) production is chemical heavy and when done cheaply, produces air and water pollution. After winter pool covers are made, they are shipped overseas, then shipped by land to distributors, who ship to dealers, who finally ship to the pool owner. All this shipping of pool covers and water bags is another byproduct that can be reduced (eliminated) with a mesh pool cover.
3. Mesh pool covers reduce landfill waste. The average solid pool cover lasts 3-5 years. I know they have warranties up to 20 years, but how many of you have had a solid winter pool cover last anywhere close to the warranty? Tree branches are no friend to the solid pool cover, and neither is neglect. Heavy debris and water, and ice - can weaken seams. Strong sunlight degrades a weak cover quickly. The average mesh pool cover however, lasts 12-14 years. You would replace a solid cover 3 or 4 times - and when they fail, you'd probably put it out in the trash. Or your pool guy does it for you. That's a lot of non-biodegradable plastics in our landfills. Not to mention the dozens of water bags you've gone through. When these fail, they are rarely patched (although you can - with any vinyl patch kit), they are simply thrown out with the pool opening debris.
So, there you have it - proof positive that having a mesh safety pool cover on your pool is the eco-friendly thing to do. Go green with your pool, and take a look a mesh cover. In addition to being green (or any other color you want), they are the safest thing going, and they look pretty good while doing it.

I am amazed, thrilled, overjoyed, and even stunned when I look at myself in the mirror in these size ten jeans. I keep wondering if I am dreaming!
I took my measurements, too. In just the last ten pounds, I have lost in the strangest places:
3/4" off my neck
1/4" off each wrist
1/2" off each calf
1/2" off my waist
3/4" off my hips
3/4" off each upper arm (yes!!!! Finally!!)
1 1/2" off my bust (I am in a B cup for the first time in 20 years! Always wore C or D before. And yes I am glad about this!)
1 1/4" off each thigh
My BMI has also gone down from 30.3 (Obese) ten pounds ago to 28.7 (Overweight) now! (I am 5'6).
Very pleased. Very, very pleased.
I could also tell you that my calves are now the same size my neck was when I weighed 278 pounds, and that I have lost 14.75" off my hips since I started this journey. I could share that my waist is 10" smaller now and my thighs each lost 6 3/4" over the last 100 pounds. I might tell you how my jeans went from a size 26/28 to a 10, and my tops went from 3X and 4X to a Medium.
But instead, I'll show you.

Code: Select all
That's 1036 MPH, or 18.3 Octillion times the speed of light.
At a certain point, the distance traveled as noted by the odometer changes to 1.$ and upon reaching 12.3 Undecillion MPH, the speed also changes to 1.$ and all checkpoints turn green, instantly winning the race.
Assuming the observable universe as a sphere with diameter of 92 billion lightyears, that means that this truck travelling at maximum speed could traverse the diameter of the observable universe in under 160 picoseconds. At that point, the kinetic energy contained within the truck would be equivalent to the energy released by a quasar if compressed over one hundred Nonillion years (1032 years) of uniform production. That means that if you were hit by this truck, it would be like every atom in your body being shot with an individual supermassive black hole cannon fourteen thousand times over (fuzzy calculations there due to probable failure to transmit 100% of the energy to your body, but I have an unknown number of orders in leeway due to calculating energy by the fucking year).
I think I have a new favorite godkiller scenario. Hell, at this point I think that this truck is my new favorite superhero. Think about it: in the canon of Big Rigs, the truck (who I will from now on refer to as an anthropomorphous vehicle-themed superhero named Big Rig) has feats rivaling top-tier superheroes:
phasing through literally any obstacle, no matter the density or size. Nothing physical can harm him.
extreme kinetic manipulation, retaining speed no matter how quickly he alters direction, which is instantly.
able to travel so fast that he ascends to godhood and becomes the entire universe, being everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
able to easily withstand the forces of travel at speeds many -illions of times the speed of light and the accretion of the mass of many -illions of times the mass of supermassive black holes
if he were to hit something, he would likely explode the entire universe out of existence
My question is, what would the theoretical effects of a truck going at such a speed be, assuming such a thing was possible?

Just like in the real world, the virtual world has a seedy side - and it is far too easy for children to stray right into it. Pornography, predators, hate groups, and false information flourish in the world wide web. From Parenting Magazine - Here are some ways to preserve the best of what's available and resourceful online for your kids and avoid the garbage:
1. Step into their cyberworld
"Parents have to get involved. Just as they know every detail of the playground around the corner -- the jungle gym, the swings -- they need to know their kids' online playground as well," says Tim Lordan, staff director of the Internet Education Foundation, a nonprofit group that produces the online safety guide GetNetWise. It may be hard to keep your eyes open after visiting what seems like the 100th website devoted to Barbie, but playing copilot to your child is the best way to make sure she gets a smooth ride. By the time she's 7, you won't need to be glued to her side, but you should be somewhere in the room or checking in frequently.
2. Set house rules
Decide how much time you're comfortable with your children being online and which sites they may go to. You might post a short list or even a signed contract (like the free ones at www.SafeKids.com) next to the computer. So there's no confusion, talk about the rules -- and the consequences for breaking them. "Our house rules say the kids are allowed half an hour of computer time on 'their days.' One child has Mondays and Wednesdays, and the other has Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then they get one hour each on the weekend," says Jamie Smith of Mount Pleasant, Michigan, mom of Hailey, 12, and Kody, 9. "They have certain sites they can visit without special permission. Any others have to be approved by my husband or me."
3. Teach them to protect their privacy
While they won't fully understand the consequences of revealing personal information online, you should still make sure your children know:
* never to give their name, phone number, e-mail address, password, postal address, school, or picture without your permission
* not to open e-mail from people they don't know
* not to respond to hurtful or disturbing messages
* not to get together with anyone they "meet" online.
Parenting contributing editor Anne Reeks writes a family computing column for the Houston Chronicle.
More tips to follow:
4. Know that location is key
Keep the computer in a central spot, where it's easy to monitor its use. "We have five computers in our house, but only two -- mine and the PC in the family room -- are hooked up to the Internet. That way, I can frequently check up on what they're looking at," says Cecilia Mitchell, a mom of three in Teaneck, New Jersey.
5. Be their go-to girl
Instruct your child to come straight to you when she sees anything that makes her uncomfortable, and assure her that you won't overreact, blame her, or immediately rescind her online privileges.
6. Turn your ISP into your ally
Before buying a safety product, experts recommend that you work with what you've got, starting with your Internet service provider (ISP). America Online, MSN, SBC Yahoo!, EarthLink, and others have reliable, free parental controls that can limit children's access to websites and communication features (e-mail, instant messaging, chat) by age, content categories, time, and other choices.
7. Make your browser work double-time
If your ISP lacks that capability, you still have some safe-surfing options at hand on your browser (the program that enables you to view web pages). Internet Explorer has Content Advisor (under Tools/Internet Options/Content), which filters out language, nudity, sex, and violence on a 0 to 4 scale. Netscape and Safari (for Mac users) have parental controls like filtering as well. Using your browser won't get you the comprehensive results that a safety product or your ISP would yield, but it can be suitable for the times you're sitting next to your little one surfing the net.
8. Tune up your search engine
Your search engine can be pressed into service for free. (But be aware: A savvy child could switch the settings back.) Once you set restrictions, Google will block sites with explicit sexual material (Preferences/SafeSearch Filtering). AltaVista puts several types of offensive content off-limits with its Family Filter (Settings/Family Filter setup).
9. Stay in a kid-friendly zone
For beginners as young as 4, consider confining online exploration to web addresses that list child-safe sites on everything from TV, movies, music, and games to world history, science, and trivia. Some good choices:
* web directory Yahooligans
* answer supplier Ask Jeeves for Kids
* the American Library Association's Great Web Sites for Kids
* the U.S. government's "Dot Kids" domain.
10. Call on software for assistance
While no technology is fail-safe, it does add another layer of protection. "The key is to make sure you have something that reflects your values and is just technological help, as opposed to trying to take over your role as a parent," says Parry Aftab, executive director of WiredSafety.org,a nonprofit Internet safety and education organization with several websites. So make sure you can make changes to fit your family's needs.Though these six tools will cost you, most offer a free trial period, and all are champs at doing your bidding. Just ask yourself, what's your primary goal?
* Shutting out the smut (and other undesirables)
Best for parents who want maximum protection with minimal effort, CyberPatrol 6.2deflects objectionable web content with a twofold filtering technique. It blocks sites on its comprehensive list of restricted web addresses, then does keyword pattern searches for offensive material on non-blacklisted sites that may have slipped through the cracks.
You decide: How much to customize. You can allow certain categories (Sex Education but not Adult/Sex, for instance); add you're own blocked or allowed sites or keywords; and more.
What your child sees: Varies from a bold "Access Restricted" notice (with the CyberPatrol "To Surf & Protect" shield) to a discreet "This page cannot be displayed" message.
Cost: $40 for one year/$60 for two; Windows, www.cyberpatrol.com
* Keep the Internet under lock and key
ControlKey 2.0 is The Enforcer. No key means no Internet access. The small blue device (part of the company's SecuriKey product line) plugs into a USB port and also serves as a watchdog for you. Children can do homework-related research but not waste time IM'ing; they can open their documents but not your desktop check register. Setup is a little tricky and time-consuming. But once installed and configured (according to what you want to control or protect), it's easy to use and a good choice for parents who want stronger restrictions or are dealing with kids who broke the rules. You'll just need to guard it like your car key. Register so the ControlKey "token" can be replaced ($45) if lost.
You decide: What to lock up: access to files you'd like to keep private? A particular computer game? Certain sites?
What your child sees: "Access Denied" message (when the computer is restricted) or "This page cannot be displayed" (Internet restricted).
Cost: $60; Windows, 800-986-6578 or www.controlkey.com
* A pristine site for young surfers
Instead of keeping out what's bad, Kidsnet keeps in what's good, and only that. Every website on its vast "white list" has been vetted and classified according to Internet Content Rating Association and Kidsnet standards. Home page Hazoo is well stocked with web offerings (even a Google search box), ranging from pbskids.org to hilaryduff.com.
You decide: What to exclude and include and how subtly to draw the distinction. What your child sees: "Ahoy mate!" A pirate or another cartoon appears on a "redirect" page, telling kids why they can't go to an off-limits site and offering two alternatives.Cost:$30/year; Windows, www.kidsnet.com
* Something to keep you safe online, too
Norton Internet Security 2006 provides everything: parental control over web content and Internet access, virus defense, spam blocking, privacy preservation, and firewall fortification. That makes it a good choice for families with general security concerns and less commitment to content-oriented parental controls (a small part of the protection package) and those with older children plagued by spam and other system interlopers.
While setup takes a while -- you'll need to uninstall conflicting software, and it's best to back up your computer before you start -- it's easy to customize and manage all five programs included from a main "System Status" screen.
You decide: When to turn on parental controls; which of 31 content categories are blocked; whether to restrict programs that access the Internet; how high to set controls over sending private information.
What your child sees: Message that Norton "blocked access to this restricted site" and why.
Cost: $70/$90; Windows/Macintosh, www.symantec.com
* Knowing exactly what they've been up to online
When a child is using the computer, Spector 2.2 takes snapshots of what's onscreen at intervals and stores them in a hidden file to record all they do. You then view the file as a video (play, pause, fast-forward, rewind).
It's best for parents who have reason to believe a child is breaking the rules or is being victimized (or who want to keep a record, just in case). Just be aware that a program like this can erode trust if you use it to spy on kids without cause or on the sly.
You decide Degree of sneakiness, between stealth mode and visible (a tiny red box in the system tray); whether to record everything or only activities involving Internet access; how often to capture images and when to delete them.
What your child sees: In stealth mode, the program is invisible.
Cost: $100; Windows/Macintosh, 888-598-2788 or www.spectorsoft.com
For help customizing your computer to be as kid friendly as possible, contact the computer experts at Computer Corner.

On Sunday, tackle Max Starks will play his 123rd game for the Steelers since they made him their third-round pick in the 2004 draft.
Starks believes that it will be his last as a member of the team. Starks will be a free agent after the season and told Mike Bires of the Beaver County Times that he thinks the team has set up a future plan at tackle that doesn't include him by drafting Marcus Gilbert and Mike Adams the last two seasons.
"Anytime you draft tackles in the second round in back-to-back years, I think it's their plan to have them as the starting left and right tackles in the future," Starks said. "That's their goal. So being a realist, I am not expecting to be back."
Starks wasn't expected back in Pittsburgh either of the last two years either. He was released during the summer in 2011 before returning to the team four games into the year and starting the rest of the way. He tore his ACL in the playoffs, leaving him to rehab during the offseason while Adams was pencilled in as the team's starting left tackle. Starks wound up getting healthy enough to earn a contract from the team, though, and was in position to take over for Adams when it became clear Adams wasn't ready for the job in the preseason.
Starks has started every game and played well enough to garner some interest from teams looking for help at tackle. Given the way he keeps turning up in a Steelers uniform, however, we're not sure that he's as done as he thinks in Pittsburgh.

Web Hosting
Web hosting is the final step after the website has been designed and developed. Hosting is basically moving your website onto a public server that is accessible online to everybody.
There are many things you have to take into consideration when choose a web host:
All these aspects of a web hosting company are important, but the ones that are most relevant to your website are the ones that depend on the purpose of your website. If you want to run a web business, for instance, then it is critical that your website be available all the time. You do not want it to be unavailable for an hour every day. And if something goes wrong, you want to be assured that someone is monitoring your website and will restart it for you if it crashes, otherwise a problem may go unnoticed for days during which you can lose many potential customers.
Choose your San Jose website carefully.

When They Leave Home
Part of the When They Leave Home Series
Series About:
What's Mary up to these days?
Excelling academically, as always. She just placed second in her school's short story contest. What about Sean?
Oh, he's having a blast on the junior varsity basketball team this year. He's hoping to make varsity next season, since it will be his last year and all. How's your girl, Jordan, doing?
Jordan's packing her bags for college. She's registered for Freshman Biology and Intro to World Religions. She's charged a credit card limit's worth of books to your Visa. She's robbed the house of all duplicate appliances and electronics – the downstairs DVD player and the kitchen's spare toaster.
You've enjoyed taking her shopping to pick out dorm-life necessities: corrugated bookshelves, a lamp, a decorative pillow to remind her of home. Sure, she's sad about leaving home, but Jordan is about to start a new chapter in her life and couldn't be more thrilled about her impending freedom.
A better question might be: How are you doing?
After all, it's a new start for you, too, and you can't help but feel like your parenting years are behind you. You wonder if you're losing your mind as your emotions vacillate from overjoyed and proud, to frustrated and dismal.
Your child is undergoing the metamorphosis better known as "leaving home." After high school, most teens move out of the house and into a new life and environment—be it an apartment on the other side of town or to a mission field on the other side of the globe. Some go to four-year colleges, others to two. Some attend a trade school, others enlist in the military. The situations may differ, but the consequences are the same: The walls are bare. The house is hauntingly quieter. You may find yourself with a few more potato chips in the bag or a few more dollars in your checking account, but for once you wish it wasn't so. Your child has found her wings and left the nest. You feel like she's up and flown the coop.
You may not have a 21-credit-hour semester scheduled, but you, too, are in for some major life lessons—in coping, parenting from afar and rediscovering your purpose in Christ. Fortunately, these are lessons you can complete successfully with a good support network and, most importantly, God. And chances are you'll find these lessons much more enduring and fulfilling than Math for Liberal Arts Majors.

254. 'Thrown Away' Dog Saves Little Girl's Life
253. Wonderful
By Laurie LaMonica
Though he was once left to die in a garbage bin, a Terrier mix has found new purpose in caring for and protecting a little girl with a rare neurological disorder. (Pet Pulse Photo by Rob Gill)
LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. -- When the Pieters family adopted Jack, a dog once left to die in a dumpster, they hoped he would act as a constant companion to their daughter, Maya.
They never considered that the Terrier mix would also save the little girl's life, on more than one occasion.
Jack's loyalty -- and keen senses -- have proved that one person's trash can truly become another's treasure.
Just ask 8-year-old Maya, who inspired her family's trip to the Humane League of Lancaster County in 2004. When the Pieters saw how seamlessly Maya bonded with Jack, he had nowhere to go but out of the kennel, and into their home.
"Maya was down on her knees and her face as close to the gate as can be and he's licking her and I heard Maya talk more then to him then she had in a whole week," recalled Maya's mother, Michelle Pieters, of their first encounter with the dog.
The connection was exceptional for the young girl, whose condition forces her to struggle with normal oral and social functions.
When Maya was 3-years-old she was diagnosed with congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome, an extremely rare condition that only 100 to 200 people in the world are reported to have.
The disease affects Maya's oral motor functions -- such as speech and swallowing -- and could cause seizures. But it also took a toll on Maya's self esteem. Always left out by other children, Maya became very withdrawn at a young age.
Maya's speech therapist, Donna Buss, suggested the Pieters family get a dog in 2003. She thought it might benefit Maya's socialization skills. Buss says Maya's shyness made their sessions difficult -- at the time, very little progress was being made.
So the Pieters launched a search to adopt the perfect dog. It took one year to find one that Maya felt comfortable with -- but the wait, in the end, was all the more worthwhile.
Though flea infested and dirty, Jack was the miracle for which the Pieters were searching.
Maya bonded with Jack instantly and the connection would prove more significant than Maya or her parents could have ever predicted.
Jack was sleeping in his crate one morning last year, when suddenly, without apparent provocation, he leaped from his bed and darted up the steps to Maya's room. The door was closed, but Jack sensed that Maya was inside -- and that she, for whatever reason, needed help.
The dog began to relentlessly claw and bark at the door, until Maya's family took notice of the dog's frantic state.
Jack, the Pieters realized, knew exactly what he was doing. Maya was found in her room, having her first seizure in her sleep.
Jack's urgent response to Maya's seizure probably saved her life, as the seizure was a new, unprecedented symptom of her condition.
The Pieters took to calling the little shelter dog "Maya's guardian angel."
Since that first episode, Maya has suffered other seizures. Each time, Jack has been able to preemptively sense when Maya is about to have a seizure. He has broken her fall, sat on top of her to help settle her convulsing body, and when she finally wakes up, licks her tears dry.
Jack has helped Maya in other ways as well. Upon adopting the dog, Maya's oral motor functions have improved drastically. Before Jack, Maya did not speak very often and was very sensitive to her face being touched.
Jack has helped Maya overcome these problems with routine face lickings, playtime and simply standing in as Maya's constant companion.
All of these accomplishments led to Jack's nomination for the Humane Society of the United State's "Valor Dog of the Year," an award to honor and celebrate dogs that have performed extraordinary acts of courage.
Jack competed against heroic dogs across the country, and although he didn't win the main prize, he was granted the "People's Choice" award.
Jack may have no idea he is nationally known for his good deeds. All he knows is someone once gave up on him, threw him away like a piece of trash.

This report was written by Emily Ramshaw of The Texas Tribune.
A day and a half after San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro's rousing keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention, his congressional hopeful brother Joaquin Castro made an unscheduled appearance before the Texas delegation.
Despite the twin brothers' newfound national attention — they have been the darlings of the cable news circuit in the last 48 hours — Joaquin said he and Julian are committed to Texas, and to turning it blue.
"Julian and I are very committed to doing everything we can to make sure in the next several years we can elect a Democratic senator, a Democratic governor, a Democratic lieutenant governor, and to start to win races again," Castro said.
Castro was preceded at the Thursday breakfast by President Obama's trade ambassador, former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, who said his job was simple: to thank Texas delegates for not giving up on turning his home state blue. "A lot of people say, 'Why do we even bother to go? It's a red state,'" Kirk said. "It's getting more purple. It's coming. It's changing."
A line-up of Texas members of Congress followed, including U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who said Republican Gov. Rick Perry is "a nice guy, got a nice family, got a nice bunch of hair," but "we cannot continue to live in a state that is ridiculed on the national level."
The morning meeting — the last one before Obama's Thursday night acceptance speech — wasn't all political pomp. Castro joked that he has been confused for the San Antonio mayor "about 200 times" in the last day, 20 times more than usual. The best way to tell them apart?
"He's a minute older and I'm a minute better looking than he is," Castro joked of his brother.

There is something so perfect, so satisfying about a bowl of warm squash bisque on a cool fall evening. And it is such a versatile dish, it is easily doctored in so many ways.
Using that blend of versatility and comfort as our inspiration, we created a fast and easy squash bisque that becomes a base for whatever autumn flavors you are craving. You could, of course, keep it basic and simply top this bisque with a dollop of sour cream. But we also suggest six variations of toppings, including shrimp, bacon and pulled pork.
You also could make the bisque vegan by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken broth and almond or soy creamer for the heavy cream.
Caramelized Onion And Squash Bisque
Start to finish: 1 hour
Servings: 8
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large sweet onions, diced
2 medium shallots, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or herbes de Provence
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 pounds cubed, peeled butternut squash
3 to 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Ground black pepper
In a large saucepan over medium-high, heat the vegetable oil. Add the onions, shallots, salt and herbs, then sauté for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring often, until the onions are soft and brown, about another 20 minutes.
Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan. Add the squash and 3 cups of the broth, then bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the squash is completely tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and purée until smooth. Alternatively, purée the soup in the pot using an immersion blender. Either way, take care when blending hot liquids.
Return the bisque to the heat and stir in the cream. If a thinner bisque is desired, thin the soup with the remaining cup of broth. Heat until just hot. Season with salt and pepper.
Nutrition information per serving of bisque (not including toppings): 200 calories; 130 calories from fat (65 percent of total calories); 15 g fat (7 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 40 mg cholesterol; 16 g carbohydrate; 2 g fiber; 4 g sugar; 3 g protein; 280 mg sodium.

The source of an eruption that scattered ash from pole to pole has been pinpointed as Samalas volcano on Indonesia's Lombok Island. The research team, led by geographer Franck Lavigne of the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, has now dated the event to between May and October of 1257.
The cataclysm blasted 10 cubic miles (40 cubic kilometers) of debris up to 27 miles (43 kilometers) high into the sky, producing fallout that settled around the world. Near the volcano itself, it settled into thick deposits that the team sampled in over 130 places to produce a stratigraphic and sedimentologic picture of the way the eruption unfolded.

Orb Strong Morning- Line Favorite For Saturday's Preakness
Orb Strong Morning- Line Favorite For Saturday's Preakness
Derby Winner Tops Field of 9 for Middle Jewel of Triple Crown at Pimlico
BALTIMORE, 05-15-13– Kentucky Derby champion Orb was installed as the even-money morning-line favorite for Saturday's 138th running of the $1 million Preakness Stakes (G1) after post positions were drawn Wednesday at Pimlico Race Course.
Owned and bred by Maryland native Stuart Janney III in partnership with the Phipps Stable, Orb registered an impressive 2 ½-length triumph in the Run for the Roses at Churchill Downs on May 4. The Shug McGaughey-trained 3-year-old colt drew the No. 1 post position for the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown that attracted eight other entrants.
Orb will be seeking his sixth-straight victory on a resume that includes stakes scores in the Fountain of Youth (G2) and Florida Derby (G1) at Gulfstream Park, as well as the Kentucky Derby. Joel Rosario, who was aboard for his Derby win, will have the return mount aboard the son of Malibu Moon.
Five horses that finished behind Orb in the Derby are scheduled to run in the 1 3/16-mile classic, including Mylute, the fifth-place finisher at Churchill who was rated second in the Preakness morning line at 5-1. Rosie Napravnik, who rode the first winner of her career at Pimlico in 2005 before establishing herself as the leading female jockey in the country, will have the mount aboard Mylute.
Departing, the Illinois Derby (G3) winner, was the highest-rated of the new faces on the Triple Crown trail, tabbed third in the line at 6-1.
The Preakness is the highlight of a sensational 13-race Pimlico program that will include nine stakes races and five graded stakes, including the $300,000 Longines Dixie Stakes (G2), the $150,000 Maryland Sprint Handicap (G3), $150,000 Gallorette (G3) and the $150,000 Allaire DuPont Distaff (G3).
ORB (PP #1; 1-1) – Trainer Shug McGaughey: "Well, he won the Fountain of Youth from the '1.' His first race was from the '1' and he finished third in a very good race. Obviously, if I was going to pick it out, I wouldn't have picked the '1.' But with only nine horses in there to run a mile and three-sixteenths, with a rider like Joel (Rosario), he's going to figure out what to do. He'll have him in the right spot.
"I'm not sure that I would have picked the '1' out of there. If it had come out the '1' in the Derby, you'd almost have felt like you needed to go home, but I don't feel that way here."
(On have speedy Goldencents and Titletown Five to his outside)"Goldencents with the '2' probably forces our hand a little bit, but we'll just see what some of the others do. Titletown Five is probably going to show some speed coming off a mile race. I think the field will spread itself out to where we'll be able to get a position and do what we want to do."
(What was going on in your mind as the draw went along)"I was probably thinking, 'I hope I get one of those outside numbers and not the '1.' Really, I was not nearly as worried this time as I was two weeks ago (for the Kentucky Derby draw).
"I'm looking forward to Saturday afternoon. We've got an even-money shot in the Preakness. What more could I ask for?"
(Did you think even-money was the correct odds)"Yes, I did. I saw in the papers it being bounced around at even money or 4-5. I might have been a little bit surprised that he is even- money and the second choice is 5-1. It's a pretty good spread. We'll see what the public does. As I've always said, I wish everything I ran was even-money or the favorite because they've got something on their line that makes them that way. Orb is that way, too."
MYLUTE (PP #5; 5-1) – General Manager Todd Quast, GoldMark Farm: "We're ecstatic about it. With this horse, it doesn't matter as much, but it sure is nice being inside, a little bit toward the middle, and then having Orb inside us and Departing inside us, the two big threats. It's great to be outside of them.
"In the Derby, we actually had the same path, basically, as Orb did, but he was three or four lengths in front of us. This time, maybe we keep a little better eye on him with his being on the inside, and we'll see what happens."
DEPARTING (PP #4; 6-1) – Trainer Al Stall Jr.: "Everything's fine. There are only nine horses, so the position isn't that important.
"(Orb) isn't going to go on with it, so he's going to have to go around. Out of the nine numbers, the '1' is probably the one you want the least."
GOLDENCENTS (PP #2; 8-1) – Trainer Doug O'Neill: "We weren't overly concerned about a post position, because in a nine-horse field, we don't think it's that significant with the speed leaving. We're completely comfortable with No. 2."
"I love it," said jockey Kevin Krigger. "We were just looking at the past performances, and we should be able to get a good spot."
ITSMYLUCKYDAY (PP #9; 10-1) – Trainer Eddie Plesa Jr.: "My lucky number, 9. I feel good about it. My horse is training excellent. I like being on the outside. I'm going to leave it up to (jockey) John Velazquez. We've got tactical speed, so he can put this horse wherever he wants. You can just draw a line through that last race and forget about it."
GOVENOR CHARLIE (PP #8; 12-1) – Assistant trainer Jimmy Barnes: "Perfect. When it was '1', '7' and '8' left ... Eight is perfect. I couldn't be happier.
(Does everybody fear the rail?)"Really, nobody ever wants to be down inside. You always think, 'It's OK, it's OK,' but it just adds a little more pressure to you because you need the trip. Orb is a good horse. Hopefully, he will overcome it."
WILL TAKE CHARGE (PP #7; 12-1) – Trainer D. Wayne Lukas: "It's of no consequence out there. That's good. I don't think I can make an excuse for any post positions at all. I think I did fine. I'll have to come with a different alibi tomorrow. I don't know that the rail's all that bad or the outside either."
OXBOW (PP #6; 15-1) – Trainer D. Wayne Lukas: "I was satisfied all the way around with my three horses, especially Oxbow. It's a small field with a good run to the turn. I don't think it's very significant, except maybe for Orb. Oxbow for a change got a decent post position, so that's going to help there. I like what happened there very much."
TITLETOWN FIVE (PP #3; 30-1) – Trainer D. Wayne Lukas: "He's got good tactical speed, so I think that's fine. He will be somewhere in the mix early, so that's OK."

The books successfully walk a fine line between remaining suitable for the target age group, while staying faithful to the harsh realities of Roman life. Most of the earlier books stand alone to some extent, but the later stories are best read in order.
1. The Thieves of Ostia
2. The Secrets of Vesuvius
3. The Pirates of Pompeii
4. The Assassins of Rome
5. The Dolphins of Laurentum
6. The Twelve Tasks of Flavia Gemina
7. The Enemies of Jupiter
8. The Gladiators from Capua
9. The Colossus of Rhodes
10. The Fugitive from Corinth
11. The Sirens of Surrentum
12. The Charioteer of Delphi
13. The Slave-girl from Jerusalem
14. The Beggar of Volubilis
15. The Scribes from Alexandria
16. The Prophet from Ephesus
17. The Man from Pomegranate Street
Interview with Caroline Lawrence
The Roman Quests
This spin-off series is a direct sequel, picking up a few years after the end of the series and aimed at Young Adult, rather than Middle Grade, readers. As it follows a new set of teenaged protagonists, it can be read without prior knowledge of The Roman Mysteries, but certain revelations will mean more to readers of the earlier series, and it will spoil the resolution of ongoing threads from that series.
1. Escape from Rome
2. The Archers of Isca
The Roman Mystery Scrolls
There is another spin-off series, The Roman Mystery Scrolls, for younger readers (aimed at children of around 8 years old) which takes place after the action of the main series, but which can be read first without spoiling too much, and without needing any prior knowledge of the middle grade series.
The Sewer Demon
The Poisoned Honey Cake
The Thunder Omen
The Two-Faced God
Several of the books have been adapted for television by the BBC, in a production that looks absolutely gorgeous and boasts Simon Callow as Pliny the Younger - you didn't get this sort of thing on CBBC when I was watching it! (although Maid Marian and her Merry Men was the most awesome show ever all the same).
Series One
The Secrets of Vesuvius
The Pirates of Pompeii and The Assassins of Rome
The Dolphins of Laurentum
The Enemies of Jupiter
Series Two
The Gladiators from Capua
The Trials of Flavia Gemina
The Colossus of Rhodes

Best of 2005 Award
2005 has come and gone, but it has been one hell of an exciting ride in the world of tech. From concept technologies to retail products, it has left a trail of tech toys and geek gadgets that is hard to ignore. Looking back, the editors and staff writers here at Hardware Zone has compiled a list of a hundred products that we believe made the biggest impact. Without further ado, we present to you (in no particular order of merit) products and technologies that took top honors in Hardware Zone's Best of 2005 award.
|When it comes to having the best dual-core design and performance, there's really not a single shred of doubt that AMD is now leaving Intel no room for competition. Although it costs more, you get more speed out of it too - thanks to AMD's Direct Connect Architecture and its integrated DDR memory controller. AMD showed the world how a dual-core processor should be designed in 2005 and we're eternally thankful for the choice and innovation that AMD brought us.
|The year 2005 was still continually dominated by Intel's mobile Pentium M processor which not only gave laptop users the performance they need, but also cooler computing with slimmer notebook designs and extended battery life. The Pentium M also made to some desktops and HTPCs (Home Theatre PCs), and is expected to get even more powerful with a dual-core sibling in early 2006.
|The i-RAM is a one-of-a-kind unique product from Gigabyte which lets you substitute your hard drive with volatile DDR memory modules. What you get are incredible access speeds and a drive that won't crash even if you were to kick your PC real hard. With the i-RAM, Windows will load up faster than you can spell "Gigabyte" - backwards.
|The Seagate Barracuda hard drive, in its 9th generation, got bigger and better in 2005. It supports the latest SATA 3Gbps interface, performance enhancing NCQ (Native Command Queueing) and equipped with a large 16MB buffer. Though not the fastest drive around, its solid 5 year warranty policy is more than enough reason to earn it the best honors for 2005.
|The Maxtor OneTouch II FireWire 800 series were probably the fastest external drives ever introduced. Equipped with the next generation FireWire interface, transfer speeds will be as fast as an internal PATA or SATA drive. With its unique aluminum chassis design, it does not only make it look sleek, but it also improves overall reliability by improving the drive's heat dissipation.
|It's not about high performance computing nor portability, but it's about style and choice. Apple introduced the Mac Mini to give users the choice to purchase an Apple Mac without the display, keyboard and mouse. We think its sleek design is what makes it a cut above the rest, and not to mention the countless copycats appearing by PC clone makers.
|Smaller is better - that's what Apple wants you to believe when they unleashed an iPod Shuffle lookalike equipped with a full color screen. The iPod Nano is small and yet is equipped with up to 4GB of Flash memory. What's cool about the Nano is that it's very shock resistant and comes equipped with a large storage capacity. It's no wonder why so many users are selling off their first generation iPod Mini these days.
|The Hitachi Desktar 7K500 is not only big in capacity but it's one of the highest performing 7200RPM hard disk drive available today. It supports the latest SATA 3Gbps interface standard and is also equipped with a huge 16MB data buffer. If you want it big and fast, the Desktar 7K500 will certainly fit your criteria.
|Microsoft's answer to the lackluster original Xbox is the all new all powerful Xbox 360 gaming console. While it may not necessarily be the most powerful 3rd-generation console (the upcoming PlayStation 3 takes the cake), nor does it bring any new innovation in console gaming (and that honor goes to Nintendo's new Revolution console), the Xbox 360 is undeniably the hot sexy electronic chick you want to lay down next to your spanking new HDTV at the moment. It does not only bring photo-realistic graphics to life or connecting you to thousands of other Xbox 360 gamers worldwide via the revamped Xbox Live!, the 360 can also functions as a Media Center to complement your PC and supported gadgets - allowing you to stream music, videos and more into your living room. The Xbox 360 is not just a gaming console, but an all-rounder entertainment machine!
|Although the Nintendo DS may not be as sexy as the PSP, its appeal lies in its unique touch-screen and voice-recognition gaming experience. Furthermore, we applaud Nintendo for daring to change the way games are played today with its implementation of a console with two color screens and the inclusion of a solid Wi-Fi functionality. The Nintendo DS is also much sought after for its distinctive games such as Nintendog, Mario Kart DS and Animal Crossing DS and its backward compatibility with GBA SP games - making it the only portable gaming machine with access to thousands of game titles. Surely 10 million DS owners around the world - a statistic that even Microsoft would be envious of - can't be wrong.
