Stable Channel Update
120 comments :
how about x64 to the stable ?
i'm wandering too
yeah where is the 64 bit version ?
Still no 64 bit version for Windows...
when Chrome reached x64 stable channel ??? 38 or later 37 cycle ???
Chrome 37.0.2062.94 in Beta channel was 64-bit. Why not 64-bit in stable channel??
I see 64-bit stable builds just fine here: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/?platform=win64
is this the stable version ?

Yep, it's the stable version. But it has a messed up version string.
Version 37.0.2062.94 unknown-m (64-bit)
well i hope its really "stable" -_-

So far, so good here. When 37.0.2062.94 64-bit was in beta it was stable as a rock too! :D
im glad to hear that :)
Wow. Now Chrome has same issue that forced me to leave Firefox just like thousands of people.
My whole browser is zoomed in and I can't do anything about it. This is because I have to set my laptop display to 125% to look perfect otherwise it will look very small and blurry. Every other software I have looks perfect with the current settings but Firefox and now Chrome!
How can I revert back my Chrome version to the last one?
@Sameh: yes, exactly that! What the hell? How do I change it back?
I can't stand it. It's all huge and some fonts are just terribly blurry. It's even worse, given that I have an external display with lower DPI, so when I move my browser window there, it's literally enormous!
Right-click the Chrome shortcut and then click Properties. On the Compatibility tab, select Disable Display Scaling On High DPI Settings, and then click OK. This causes the text in the application to appear clearer.
PS. By the way, how can I find the standalone 64-bit installer?
@Mariusz: Join the others,
@Pavel: That didn't work.
Terrible update! Large fonts and all blurry.
The switch to 64bit is definitely stable -- I recall reading that it apparently, for unknown reasons, doubled the stability of the renderer.
@Sameh: Maybe you have to click the "Change settings for all users" button in Compatibility tab and Disable display scaling on high DPI settings for all users.
@Pavel: Thank you so much for trying to help but that didn't work either.
When I download on Win 7 I get the 32-bit version and 64-bit on Win 8. Is this what's suppose to happen?
terrible update. Same problem as Sameh. Websites look ugly now, my own website shows blurry and jagged header like it wer on 800x600 instead of 1920x1080. All is to big now. If i zoom out everything looks even more weird and broken. Please fix asap!

@Boo Berry - Chrome showing "unknown-m" is a known issue that is already fixed but just missed this initial release. It will be fixed in the next M37 release! You are definitely running Chrome Stable if your version begins with 37.
So someone on reddit came up with a solution to the DPI problem: adding this as start parameters works:
"****/chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
You have to restart the Chrome completely afterwards (including the app in the background) and it works.
For Sameh and others with the problem:
Temporary fix found here http://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/2en8j0/just_got_chrome_37_its_resolution_is_really_low/ck16jbq
@Moderator its just adding parameters to the Chrome shortcut.
@Patric Buckenauer after this fix font size on sites is smaller than before update. I hope we will not wait 6 weeks for fix...
New version of Chrome 37 to the stable channel, does not work Windows Media Player plugin is not compatible with this version
What can be done in this case
Thank you
whats wrong with this update really dont know.... it has a mini - delay in every open or closed new tab and all engine about tabs are broken and the browser is slower than version 36 ..... cmon google whats happening???... btw i have 64 bit OS. fix this asap. ty
This version seems much slower than the previous version.
Please add an option to disable the scaling of Google chrome with the operating system. Chrome now looks terrible and most people will have the same issue.
Just installed Google - Chrome Version 37.0.2062.94 and as always for me, it is rock solid
Would it be possible to provide not just direct download links for the offline installers, but to use different filenames for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, such as ChromeStandaloneSetup_x86.exe and ChromeStandaloneSetup_x64.exe?
Aryeh Goretsky
Need a link to the 64-bit offline installer. Your "standard" installation doesn't play nice behind firewalls.
This version for some reason is changing the fonts on Facebook to Helvetica. Horrible.
Working great for me. Everything is clear as glass. Whether stable, time will tell.
Text scaling issue here as well - using the reddit fix atm but still...
Same issue with Facebook (helvetica font) and also with Plenty of Fish forums. Too difficult to read.

64-bit working great, now on Stable instead of Beta (now About shows "unknown-m" now -lol). Also -- THANK THE ALMIGHTY BROWSER GODS -- they finally removed that blasted warning message about using unpacked extensions!!!!!!!!!! Whew. Another note, even with a new install, 64-bit still gets put in the (x86) folder.
Update: Helvetica issue for me was due to Helvetica-Ultracompressed font being installed and chosen first for these sites. For now, I have deleted the font, but would like to be able to reinstall it at some point down the road (since it was a purchase).
I am not sure why there was a need to screw up the fonts and write "to improve font rendering". I think you don't test before delivering such shit. The new font system sucks big time. This move is more worse than the one when you added the fucked up Google Search bar to the New Tab. I am sure nothing will be done for the fonts and people will have adjust with what you think is an "improvement". I downgraded to v36 already.
Could you fix the link to the standalone, single user installer for 64 bit? I think it's pointing to the 32 bit version (ignoring standalone=1)
Somehow HTML5 Youtube videos look worse in this Stable update.
Time to back Firefox.
Thank you chrome team you guys make me decide so easly. Thank you !

Same problem here with sites that use Helvetica font (like facebook). Not rendering whell like é or ç.
Thanks Mariusz Różycki, adding:
"****/chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
Work fine on Chrome 37.0.2062.94
The latest release completely ruins my chrome experience. The fonts are too big and every webpage appears zoomed in, which changes the distribution of layout items--making the whole thing messy and unappealing. It's really bringing me down! I can't stand it. I'm probably going to have to go back to firefox if this rendering issue is not fixed soon.
If you don't like the new chrome fonts rendering, write "chrome://flags" in the address bar, press enter and then enable "disable direct write", restart chrome and have a nice day :)
I tried the chrome://flags setting change, but it did not work. Thank you for trying! It would be great if a simple fix like what you suggested would work.
Chrome - wtf!! bring back GDI renderer - or at least give us an option to choose. the chrome:flags disable directwrite is not working well. The workaround to start chrome with DPI flag is unacceptable. the directwrite concept is very very flawed - which is why I never use IE11 - makes look everything blurry. Why mess with something that works well. Bring back GDI and get rid of nasty Directwrite
wtf did you do ??? the fonts looks like shit , really really small and distorted
wtf is this???
Now if I could just find a download for a 64-bit stable version of the standalone/offline installer :-)
Please i beg you from the bottom of my heart it hurts my eyes , how can i upgrade to the previous version? Chrome had the best font rendering out of all the other browsers
Ok, this font issue is really bad. I have it on a lot of pages (Gmail, Facebook, etc). If it stays like this I will stop using Chrome. And then Google would also kill Android for me as the whole infrastructure works best if you use Chrome everywhere...
Also, we were supposed to get the 64bit version installed automatically, weren't we?
Facebook fonts on chrome 37 browser are royally messed up. You have to disable the direct write feature for now. I explain here: http://goo.gl/aOiU23 go to chrome://flags/ and "Enable" the "Disable DirectWrite"
Chrome 37 on 64-bit Linux is unbelievably slow. Switching tabs takes up 100% of a CPU core and takes 5-15 seconds on a quad-core i7 machine with 8GB of RAM.
Chrome v36 was much, much faster. What gives?
chrome 37 is very slow...tab switching and closing chrome is slow and laggy as hell?wtf happened?
My display DPI is set at 150% in Windows 8. This version of Chrome ignores "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". Now the browser chrome is 150% but it should be 100%. What's the fix?
37 is very sluggish with lots of tabs opened (version 36 handled this just fine). I found one of the chrome.exe constantly hogs 25-35% of one CPU time.
Same here. Being using Chrome since it was "born" now I am thinking of migrating because of the enormous time it takes (nearly 5 secs) to switch between tabs. Was an autoupdating 32-bit configured with sync. It autoupdated to 37 and got enormously laggy. uninstalled it and installed "stable" (not) 64-bit, stable at start. I set up sync, Chrome opens to a frozen new tab window and won't respond, will unload only if I kill it. Please fix this.
Update-I've been researching the issue since yesterday when autoupdate caused it. It seems some problem with the bookmarks engine can cause the creation of multiple entries for the same bookmark - I found 100's of entries of the very same bookmark. THIS is what causes the enormous lag when switching between tags, your browser wants to display your bookmarks in a proper order and it takes a lot of time for the engine to sort them properly.
my 2 cents.
I moved from the 32 bit stable version to the 64 bit . Much faster and more stable!
Make the switch if you dont like the new 32 bit version, too slow.
Words With Friends Facebook app won't load properly on Facebook. I'm using 64-Bit Chrome (stable) on my Windows 8.1 desktop. The game loads and works fine on my Windows 7 laptop using the 32-bit version of Chrome.
When I try to run it using 64-bit version of Chrome, the Facebook game app partially displays and somewhat locks up... Then I always get a 'Page(s) Unresponsive' message after a short delay.
Sure hope this my comment gets read by Google Chrome team so that they can fix it.
Contrary to what many think, this version is not 64-Bit. Just open the process manager of Windows and look for processes related to Google Chrome. All show: chrome.exe * 32
@Janeor, You have to manually install the x64 version. I confirm that after installing from https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/?platform=win64
The process manager does NOT show a 32 bit process. It is most definitely 64 bit.
Thx to the man with greece word name
i delete all my 700 bookmarks and tab switching work fast again.
sorry for my english.
Confirmed, deleting most of the bookmarks for Google Chrome 37 (x64) on Windows 8 improves the browser's speed. Please fix this problem Google.
My text/fonts look weird and blurry after the update
My chrome started to lag at switching tabs, eats up 25% or I'm assuming 1 core off the quad core cpu. Tried reinstalling it, but after I sync same thing happens.
I tried my portable chrome and it works fine since it doesn't auto update itself. So I'm pretty sure its with the update.
Can you at least provide an option to turn off auto update instead.
Windows Media Player HTML5 Extension for Chrome
The Windows Media Player HTML5 Extension for Chrome is an extension that enables Chrome users to play H.264-encoded videos (aka MP4) on HTML5 pages by using the built-in capabilities found in Windows 7.
Important Notes:
If you are running Windows 8, the extension will NOT work. We recommend that you download Internet Explorer instead. IE is a modern, standards compliant browser that remains compatible with older media technologies.
Peut-on le remmettre ?

here is an issue abt fonts:
Big regression on windows 2012 R2 RDS: no printing - just eternal spooling.
My God, what is happening!
Something is VERY, VERY wrong with the performance in HTML5 since the update to 37. Animations are laggy, slow, damn weird!
I tested both versions, 32bit & 64bit. (on 2 quadcore-machines)
I have no more extensions installed. I have reinstalled both versions already 20 times. This is driving me nuts since the update.
Even tha IE11 is much (yes much?!) better in performance. Firefox too.
Suddenly all other earlier versions are gone on other sites. I can't seem to go back to 36.
This can't be happening. My fav browser is the worst now... I don't wan't to switch.
Please let this be fixed or give us the chance to go back to 36.
Kind regards,
Lester De Meyer.
When I click on Google's Chrome download for 64-bit, it doesn't specify Windows 8.1 compatibility, just Windows 8/7.
I tried it anyways and it worked but I'm uncertain of its overall compatibility since it doesn't specifically specify.
Also, I noted, before reverting back to the 32-bit version until next month's update, that the 64-bit version had been "37.0.2062.94 unknown-m" or something like that. Why the unknown?
Wow, the new font rendering makes half of the web I visit totally unusable!
The fonts are all messed up! Please, give us a way to disable that.
This should NOT have been released as stable. It is insanely sluggish: starting up, working with tabs, dragging window between monitors.
Previous versions worked much better.
Ever since Chrome updated yesterday, it has been an absolute mess. Huge font size, random bolding of text, weird spacing making some words unreadable, and even "dancing" text giving me headaches. I tried adjusting zoom and dpi. I tried disabling directwrite. Nothing is working. PLEASE HELP. I'm on Windows Vista. So many people I know have this problem right now. Is there any way to revert to 36? I don't want to have to switch to Firefox, but I can't work like this.
The workaround is to disable DirectWrite. Here's how: http://goo.gl/aOiU23
Google should be ashamed of this update. Not only the implementation of directwrite is disasterous - there are huge issues with dpi scaling as well. Pull this down...
workaround so far
1. if you are using smaller (default) fonts with auto scale on OS level - i.e. you are at normal/100% DPI. and you have blurry fonts --> the issue is directwrite rendering
==> chrome:flags turning directwrite off is sufficient
2. if you are using higher dpi (125% or more) - and you have abnormal zoom or large scaling issues - then the issue is related to DPI scaling
==> change Chrome start link by enabling high dpi and dpi scaling to 1.
also change the registry keys - regedit - look for entries such as
... Chrome.exe" -- %1
and change them to
...Chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
Installed the x64 version today. Later in the day, it "upgraded" to the 32-bit one. I had to uninstall Chrome and re-install the x64 version to get it back.
Hope this doesn't happen again.
Version 37 is Slooooowww, very noticeable latency when opening new tabs, when searching, and overall sluggish!
Got this update a few hours ago, I'm fairly regular with my Chrome updates so I think it was an incrimental - so this issue is with this new version.
It's too darned slow.
It's only when I open or close a tab. There's a noticeable pause of a second or two, even if there's nothing on the tab. This also occurs when resizing the window, Chrome will pause, resize the window but not re-render everything (leaving parts of the window black), then after the same pause, bam, it will refresh.
Running Win8.1 here with Classic Shell installed, on a SSD and SSHD setup.
(Edit: I just realized Issue 395425 might be related to this. Apparently after 0-25 seconds or so their blurryness kinda clears up, whereas instead I'm just getting long pauses instead.)
The display size of almost all websites just went crazy. With this update Facebook and co. just look as crappy as with using Firefox. I really love chrome and the google services but I might actually switch back to ff if this doesn't get fixed (or at least a workaround is provided), 'cause at least ff let's me zoom to ~80% (equivalent to chromes default size before the update) without blurring the fonts.
I would illustrate the problem with FB-screens but I don't have an old one, so here's an example displaying a page from my university.
Before updating: http://puu.sh/bcAmp/71a6033730.png (2014-08-05)
After updating: http://puu.sh/bcAoi/876632bde1.png (2014-08-29)
As you can see the problem isn't related to the Website but the whole browser. I already tried disabling DirectWrite and startet chrome through a new link using the parameters shphoenix provided.
I'm using Chrome 37.0.2062.102 m on Winodws 7 Professional SP 1 with 2 Monitors 1920x1080 each. Zooming is set to default.
I have to correct myself, the workaround from shphoenix works - I forgot to close the chrome-autostart / edit the registry setting for that
Good news everyone! There is an update for 37 "37.0.2062.102 unknown-m (64-bit)". Chrome is no longer sluggish with lots of tabs opened.
So can anyone from the Chromium team comment on what was the regression about in the initial 37 release?
With this Update Facebook just look as crappy as with using Firefox.
I switch back to FireFox if this doesn't get fixed (or at least a workaround is provided).
Hi people,
Chrome became EXTREMELY slow in HTML5 animation performance. It used to be the fastest in HTML5 (and Flash) before the update to 37.
Framerates are very low suddenly, even on quick PC's.
I develop portfolio-sites in both environments and I experience Chrome as "broken" now.
I tried this "little" tester for performance in HTML5 animations;
I have tested this on several browsers on 2 different computers.
See here: http://postimg.org/image/nftxgmjjp/
As you can see (on the laptop) the difference between IE and Chrome is already there.
I couldn't test it with version 36 anymore, but Chrome still was faster than IE and Firefox at that time.
On the brand new desktop PC there are 2 browsers that fail, Safari and Chrome 37. (32 and 64 bit)
This small test gave me almost 100% on Chrome 36, IE and Opera. Animations smooth as butter!
The contrast between version Chrome 36 and 37 on the desktop is quite big, don't you think?
Animations, even little ones are a disaster now on Chrome, even on this (relative) fast PC.
This test didn't work with Firefox, but I notice it is as fast (and has no problems) as IE and Opera with animations.
I'm sure on the quick PC the result would be as high as 60 FPS.
I realize this small test isn't the most reliable, but you can see the difference very well.
The problem with Chrome 37 is very noticable in other test too.
Something very weird is going on now with Chrome and I really hope it can/will be fixed!
Kind regards,
I just switched channels from, beta to stable, did an 'update'..says 'I'm up to date'..yet after the mandatory power wash, my Chromebook reverted back to the 'very insecure' platform, without any of the 50 security updates. I wonder if my device will ever update w/ the much needed security updates, because my device has be 'messed up' since the moment I turned it on out of the box months ago. I know there is some kind of either network attacker my ISP refuses to help me with despite the repeated requests and extra payments for tech support OR my device is 'being managed' by some external source somehow (no need to go into detail here). This has been a nightmare...although I never allow anything to truly 'get to me'...I like the CB, I just wish 'whoever' is behind the scenes will actually do something about the severe problems. I'm very limited to what I can do, because I am not going to input any personal info, cc or banking info into this thing until I am 200% certain something is done. Personally, I truly do not putting out negativity in any way, but it kind of makes Google and my ISP (AT&T) look really awful. I'm an eternal optimist, and 'possibly' there is a 'good' reason for all this. :) can't wait for my REAL UPDATE!!! OneLove
It seems i'm not the only one having problems with the font on facebook looking bit blurry, i thought i might of changed a setting or something, i tried all sort to try and fix it. but nothing seems to b working till i come across all theses post and find out it's not my fault and other people are having the same problems. If someone finds out how to fix the blurry text please let me know. I've always used Chrome, but it's starting to hurt my eyes now. I'm also getting th slight delay when opening tabs and also if i minimize Chrome and then click to go back to it doesn't open properly leaves just a tab up at the top of the screen and i can't do nothing apart from close and open again which is kinda of annoying, hope they will fix these issues.
I just wanted to post a little update -- I don't know if I'm permanently fixed, but it seems to be working better now.
What I did was export my bookmarks to an HTML file, then uninstall chrome + remove all browsing data. I then reinstalled the 32 bit version that's on the site right now.
When doing so, I chose what to sync and did not sync bookmarks.
The thing crashed repeatedly (5-6 tries) when attempting to load my bookmarks, so I opened the bookmarks HTML file manually and re-bookmarked the important ones. Things remained snappy. I then tried importing my bookmarks file again, and it did so in a matter of seconds, no crash.
Everything seems to be back to normal now. Not sure if 2062.102 m is a different version and I just didn't see an update, or what, but the problem seems related to bookmarks somehow. Maybe?
I have a large number of non-latin characters in my bookmark file (Unicode / Shift JIS -- Japanese) so that might be it? Not sure.
Anyway, if you're having issues with new tabs taking a second or 10 to open/close, random crashes and lag when moving windows, try uninstalling + deleting data and fiddling with the bookmarks. Might help.
have recently updated to Version 37.0.2062.102 m and it's much slower than version 36.
as Lester pointed out, http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/Fireflies/Default.html gives a dreadful experience, I am down to like 10FPS.
and also, the "feel" of opening the browser is much slower, etc, even opening web pages and general browsing.
this seems to be a regular trend with the recent updates, can we get it right for once?
All fonts got messed up after the update - Including google's precious Roboto...
The fonts are too big. Graphics, letters and colors are blurry -- making it hard to read. Just right after reading comments here, I got dizzy and my head aches terribly. Can we sue google chrome if it cause us health issues?
Please, fix font rendering. Chrome 37, Win7 SP1, 32bit.
It would be nice to hear some feedback from someone @ Google about these problems.
Do you guys confirm something is wrong with the performance of Chrome 37?
Are you guys trying to fix it? Something?
It's a pity, I have been promoting this browser a long time now.
The new Chrome 37 on 3 desktops and 1 laptop here is a total disaster now. :(
How can this even be possible, ya had the BEST browser around.
I really hope this gets fixed quick.
Kind regards,
I'm with Lester! I really love Chrome and I want it back. Ever since the 37 release I have been getting by on Firefox, but I keep checking back to this channel to see if these problems have been fixed. It is disconcerting that Google may not have even *acknowledged* that the problems are real. I would feel so much better if I knew, for sure, that they were working on it. I've never felt so passionate about a browser before! I ♥ chrome.

On Linux Mint 17 x64 (with 64bit version of Chrome), the spell-checker goes goofy. When I'm typing, it will work correctly for some of the time, then the red line under typos will be offset a few characters (still the correct length, though). If I right-click and choose a correction, it only corrects the underlined text , and because the red line is often offset, this creates small but incredibly annoying issues.
directwrite font rendering is still a mess
looks like there's an update today : Version 37.0.2062.103 m
and the update hasn't done anything to address the horrible font treatment on facebook. how could they miss testing the Internet's #1 app?
Version 37.0.2062.103 m did not change anything for me. Bring back the good Chrome please. :)
Kind regards,
FIXED! The 37.0.2062.103 m update shrank the address bar font and Chrome looks "normal" again!
Just updated to 37.0.2062.103 and my chrome window gets warped when minimized/maximized
have most up to date version 37.0.3062.103 and my address bar still sux. Chrome is starting to piss me off. Leave it alone, gosh, anyone have a fix for this. I'm running Windows 8.1 by the way
After update, Chrome 37 running wayyy slower than previous version 36. Please fix this.
indeed!!! and before that 35 was slow...
Something's wrong with my font size. I use the OS's DPI increase whatever, to about 110%. It's very noticeable on facebook.
I'm running:
Version 37.0.2062.103 m
On Windows 7 64 bit
Chrome 37 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit is unbelievably laggy. There seems to be a 1 to 2 second delay when opening or transitioning between tabs. Please fix and address this issue asap.
I too am having issues with Google chrome over the last few days. Difficulty opening home page and going from 1 bookmarked page to another very slow. So much that you wonder if page is going to open at all. Please fix because I have to use ie at moment but really prefer google
Ever since the new update, i also face some issues. the opening and closing of a new tab lags and have a long delay time. Even just the switching of the different tabs also lags and have this delay time.
v 37.0.3062.94 on Mavericks is just constantly freezing on me. It'll just stop working randomly & I won't be able to scroll or do anything unless I force close & open it again, losing all my open tabs in the process. Happens averagely about once an hour. Getting by using Firefox right now. Hope there'll be a fix for it soon as I miss Chrome!

Nearly all websites look awful now, including Google's own Gmail. Fonts are smaller, look modified, condensed. Underlined text is difficult to read, especially with small fonts - there is no space between the line and the letters. Bold text is far too bold and gets blurry. Space between lines is too narrow. How can I revert back to version 36?

Senate panel approves beefed-up education plan
A Senate panel approved a beefed-up version of the governor's education reform plan that requires increased teacher pay and institutes leadership programs.
The Senate Education Committee approved the measure Thursday by a 9 to 6 vote, with all Democrats in support and Republicans opposed.
Bill sponsor Sen. Herman Quirmbach, of Ames, said the Senate's version would cost $190 million. That's more expensive than Republican Gov. Terry Branstad's plan.
The measure increases minimum teacher salaries to $35,000 and offers options to school districts for leadership programs.
The Senate plan includes a 4 percent funding increase to school districts in coming two fiscal years.
Republicans opposed the bill, saying it removes experienced teachers from the classroom to mentor other educators.
The House has approved a bill limiting raises and making reforms voluntary.

SEOUL, South Korea — A South Korean soldier was at large late Saturday night after killing five comrades and wounding another five at the border with North Korea, South Korean media reported.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported that a South Korean army private fled with a weapon after opening fire on his comrades earlier Saturday night at an outpost in Gangwon province, east of Seoul. South Korean military officials didn't immediately return calls seeking more details.
Thousands of soldiers from the rival Koreas square off along the world's most heavily armed border.
There was no indication that North Korea was involved. But tensions have been high recently, with North Korea staging a series of missile and artillery drills and threatening South Korea's leader. The rivals have also traded fire along their disputed maritime border in the Yellow Sea. South Korea has repeatedly vowed to respond with strength if provoked by the North.
Shootings happen occasionally at the border. Last year, South Korean soldiers shot and killed a man they believed was trying to cross from the South into North Korea.
The Korean peninsula is still technically in a state of war as the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. Nearly 30,000 U.S. soldiers are stationed in South Korea as a deterrent against North Korean aggression.

High-throughput nucleic-acid-sequencing platforms have revolutionized clinical and laboratory-based studies of microbial infection and inflammation. Sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA genes to characterize the intestinal microbiota and deep sequencing of microbial DNA to characterize the human microbiome have uncovered correlations between commensal microbial populations and diseases such as diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, and obesity.
Associations between microbes and the development or progression of cancer are numerous and widely acknowledged, but the full extent of the relationship is still largely undefined.
The Lucille Castori Center for Microbes, Inflammation, and Cancer (CMIC) developed the Molecular Microbiology Core Facility to provide Memorial Sloan Kettering investigators with high-throughput sequencing approaches to discover microbial associations with cancer and to investigate infectious diseases in cancer patients.
Our investigators have worked with Agnès Viale of the Genomics Core Laboratory and Nicholas Socci of the Computational Biology Center to lay the groundwork for deep sequence analysis of complex microbial populations colonizing the human intestine. The Molecular Microbiology Core Facility isolates and amplifies microbial DNA from experimental and clinical samples. We use the Roche 454 platform to sequence microbial DNA and provide computational support for the analysis of sequence data, including alignment of sequences and approaches to compare complex microbial populations in different clinical or experimental samples. Our technical staff assists investigators in identifying and characterizing bacterial, fungal, and viral sequences in clinical material. The Molecular Microbiology Core Facility is closely integrated with the Genomics and Computational Biology Core Facilities of the Sloan Kettering Institute.
The CMIC is working with the Sloan Kettering Institute administration to recruit new faculty members who are investigating microbial causes of cancer, cancers associated with chronic inflammation, and the potential association of complex microbial populations with the development of cancer.
An important goal of the CMIC is to increase expertise in computational and bioinformatic approaches to characterize shifts and changes in the complex microbial populations that contact mucosal surfaces.

Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

Walgreen Co. and Rite Aid Corp., two of the nation's three largest drugstore chains, both said this week that business from the flu slowed noticeably last month.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had said in late January that flu cases appeared to be leveling off nationwide and declining everywhere except for the West. That appeared to play out last month with drug store sales.
Rite Aid, based in Camp Hill, Pa., said that its established stores saw a slight decrease in flu shots and flu-related prescriptions compared to February 2012. Sales of over-the-counter flu treatments were flat. Overall, the chain's revenue from stores open at least a year fell 3.6 percent last month.
The flu had a neutral impact on Rite Aid's February results after pulling strong traffic into its stores the previous month, according to Credit Suisse analyst Edward Kelly.
Walgreen, the nation's largest drugstore chain, the flu had a minor impact on prescriptions filled at stores open at least a year, compared with January. Flu shots, meanwhile, had no impact on sales from established stores. Walgreen, based in Deerfield, Ill., said this week that revenue from stores open at least a year fell 0.6 percent last month.
The country appeared to be headed for a doozy of a season early and the federal government took extraordinary steps to makes sure more flu medicines were accessible to those in need.
The season began earlier and the flu that struck was one that could make people sicker.
By mid-January, at least 29 children or teens had died from the flu-related causes, nearing the 34 pediatric deaths for all of the previous year's flu season.

Uniform templating creates ugly uniformity
Maybe we can celebrate the fact that MLB and New Era have outdone themselves this year in creating a crappy, goofy-looking batting practice cap. While the new edition doesn't feature the weird cut-out panels above the ear like the last iteration, they have managed to sully the front panel and bill with racing stripes in what appears to be an appeal to NASCAR fans.
This is why creating design templates to apply across the entire league is a bad idea. If one or five teams decided to do something outlandish with their uniforms (e.g. White Sox short pants, Astros' starburst, Pirates' square caps with stars), then that's a bit of fun colour and enhances the experience of being a fan. Those things become touchstones that you can laugh about or defend (ironically or otherwise). But when the league hands down an edict that says all teams shall comply with the new template, and they shall all feature ear flap panels or racing stripes, then there's no room to compare and contrast the individual aesthetic choices of the teams. And where's the fun in that?
To prove the point: Take a gander at all of the caps, you'll notice that the ones that look the best - Cleveland, San Francisco and Seattle - are the ones that do their best to hide the template components.
If the game is, as Jerry Seinfeld said, all about laundry, then it would be nice if the league would allow a little more diversity amongst its clubs. Just because they are called "uniforms", it doesn't mean that the league needs to mandate uniformity.

The cheap ass Mets are offering Barajas a minor league deal AND making a hard play for him!??? What a contradiction in terms and no draft pick for TO?The Jays can never win....

Compensatory picks are kind of a new thing, and you can't make your plans around the comp picks that you'd get for a type B free agent.
I wouldn't qualify this as some big loss for the Jays. It's a pick.
I shrug.

Why is it so hard to find a fitted cap - sized or stretch-fitted - that doesn't make you look like:
(a) you're an extra on the set of a hip hop video, or
(b) looks terrible (ie: these & last year's BP caps)
re: Barajas....its' just sad, at this point. Offering arb just became that much more risky next offseason (ie: deal Overbay).

That Cleveland hat is pretty cool. I like the simple, understated hats. Plus, Indians merch goes over great at the sweat lodge.

Tao, you hit the nail on the head. Those caps look like Jimmie Johnson should be wearing them.
Ack, believe it or not I actually LOVED last year's BP caps. It's the only fitted hat I've ever liked, and of course ... now they've been replaced.

@ anon - I always thought I had a big head (literally, not figuratively), but wearing a new authentic makes me look like a train engineer. In the process of breaking one in, so we'll see. I was more referring to those goddamned hats that feature an off-centre Jays logo, the city skyline, and gothic writing. Or whatever.
@ Ian.....HATED those spandex-y cut-out panels. I bought one, wore it once, then tossed it in a bag headed for goodwill.

I scored last year's Jays BP cap at an Olympia Sports for $15 ('Merkin) and change. Buy one get one half off, but no other team worth showing an allegiance to, so I tried on a Rockies authentic (which would have set me back $7 more) and looked like Abe Lincoln with and embroidered CR on a stove pipe hat.

Ack, I'm right there with you on the fitted hats. Best strategy I've found for breaking in a new one is to drive over it a few times.
I'd rather look homeless than like a train engineer.

Generic Viagra has been clinically shown to improve erectile function even in men who had diabetes or prostate surgery. The pill contains this component that helps increase blood flow to the penis and may help men with ED get and keep an erection satisfactory for sexual activity.Generic Viagra is in a class of medications known as PDE-5 inhibitors, which are used to treat cases of male impotence. Generic Propecia is a steroid reductase inhibitor, works by reducing the amount of the hormone dihydrotestosterone in the body. This may block certain types of hair loss in men. Viagra is the best choice medicine for erectile dysfunction as it can be taken regardless of the age of the patient and works unhindered with most medicines. Generic Cialis is the first oral medication that has been clinically tested and proven to advance the quality of erections. Generic Levitra is an oral therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

I am afraid that this statement is not correct"
Great blog! nice insights on the Mets but personally, I don't think the Mets have that strong of a rotation. Even if Pelfrey has a breakout year, there are still too many question marks in the Mets rotation.
I would love to switch links with you and I have already put ur link in my blog! just link it to.'elaborate this.Thank you.

This project is daemon which listens to dbus signals and runs applications accordingly. The signals, application to run and some rules that will be evaluated against incoming dbus signals can be easily changed in the configuration file. This application is mainly intended to work with the openmoko framework so end users will be able to run application upon events without too much effort, though that isn't a limitation. For example, one can set the aux button to launch the dialer and the other can set a sound when screen is dimmed with as little as no effort.
(The default config file is set to run the profile-changer when the aux button is pressed for more than a second)
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The project page in projects.openmoko.org is finally up. Hope you all will participate. From now on, that's the place to post bugs/suggestions. Hopefuly, I will start using it completely soon (when the problems are fixed)
- author: Tom Hacohen <available_at_profile>
- the code resides at the projects page
- link available at the project page
How To Use
siglaunchd connects to predefined dbus signals checks some parameters and if the signal matches the application associated with it is launched.
This daemon reads the configuration file looking for records of the type:
- bin is the binary to run (and parameters)
- interface, busname, path and signal are dbus related
- rules are seperated by a ',' and look like arg[id](=|<|>|~)value. arg[] is a configuration file patteren and shouldn't be changed.
Evaluation types:
- = is for string/number comparison
- > and < are for number comparison
- ~ is used for standard python regex evaluation.
For example if I a rule to check if the first parameter got from the dbus signal equals to "test" the rule will be: 0=test
Example configuration file line: "DISPLAY=:0.0 openmoko-terminal2"=org.freesmartphone.Device.Input;org.freesmartphone.oeventsd;/org/freesmartphone/Device/Input;Event;arg[0]=AUX,arg[1]=released,arg[2]>1
I used this configuration to run the openmoko-terminal2 everytime I held the aux button for 2 seconds or more.
You can actually add as many lines you want to the config and associate as many applications needed to a single signal with different/same rules(in different lines) .
Another example: the "Event" signal form the "org.freesmartphone.Device.Input" interface in the framework sends looks like this: Event ( ssi ) where the arguments are: the first s = name of input device the second s = the action took place i = duration of the event. We can then tell the dameno to "echo hi" (not very useful) everytime an Event signal of any kind arrives like this:
"echo hi"=org.freesmartphone.Device.Input;org.freesmartphone.oeventsd;/org/freesmartphone/Device/Input;Event;
If we want it only to occur when the aux button is released (doesn't matter how much time it was held) we will do the following:
"echo hi"=org.freesmartphone.Device.Input;org.freesmartphone.oeventsd;/org/freesmartphone/Device/Input;Event;arg[0]=AUX, arg[1]=released
Mind the fact that now there is no ; at the end!!! (only needed before the rules)
Now, if we want, we can tell it to echo hi only if the button was released after i seconds where 4<i<7, i.e, i =5,6 we will do the following:
"echo hi"=org.freesmartphone.Device.Input;org.freesmartphone.oeventsd;/org/freesmartphone/Device/Input;Event;arg[0]=AUX, arg[1]=released, arg[2]>4, arg[2]<7
The same argument can be evaluated as many times you like, use it. Btw, all the rules are logicaly connected with an AND operation, so they all must match! If you want an OR logical connection you must add a brand new line differing in what you want it to differ.
This daemon is designed for use with the openmoko framework, read about the framework dbus signals at: http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=specs.git;a=blob_plain;f=html/index.html
Please send me feedback about bugs/suggestions. Enjoy.
Change Log
The changelog is available for each release at the projects site.
- upgrade the rules system (add more complex variable types for comparison in the rules)
- add errors (and a log file?) when the configuration file is broken
- < and > only supports floats, add string support (= works with strings).
- add support for SIGHUP so configuration will be loaded without app restart
- change the config files to be in xml/other format instead of the current custom one
- fix the example script to first load the gui and only the probe dbus.
List of users configs
This is a list of config lines users added. If you use any custom config yourself (you should, the stock config is a demo) please add it here so others may use them as well.
"DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/share/siglaunchd/scripts/profile-changer"=org.freesmartphone.Device.Input;org.freesmartphone.oeventsd;/org/freesmartphone/Device/Input;Event;arg[0]=AUX,arg[1]=released,arg[2]>0
"DISPLAY=:0.0 openmoko-terminal2"=org.freesmartphone.Device.Input;org.freesmartphone.oeventsd;/org/freesmartphone/Device/Input;Event;arg[0]=AUX,arg[1]=released,arg[2]>1
"DISPLAY=:0.0 python fso-settings"=org.freesmartphone.Device.Input;org.freesmartphone.oeventsd;/org/freesmartphone/Device/Input;Event;arg[0]=AUX,arg[1]=released,arg[2]>1
Although the power button is set to be the suspend on fso/shr and when held for more than 10 seconds it will shut down the device, in the area between, I set it to launch the flashlight app, because I don't like messing with stuff when I need my flashlight on! (you can easily change it to run anything else, so this is also a good example for using the power button)
"DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/flashlight"=org.freesmartphone.Device.Input;org.freesmartphone.oeventsd;/org/freesmartphone/Device/Input;Event;arg[0]=POWER, arg[1]=released, arg[2]>1, arg[2]<8
Incoming message alert
just replace the echo message with the script (popup?) you want to run.
"DISPLAY=:0.0 echo message"=org.freesmartphone.GSM.SMS;org.freesmartphone.ogsmd;/org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device;IncomingMessage;

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- A member of the European Central Bank's governing council has warned that any government attempts to push the euro lower could backfire.
Jens Weidmann said Monday in the text of a speech that "politically brought about devaluations" do not lead to improved economic competitiveness. He also said indicators suggest the euro is "not seriously overvalued."
The euro has strengthened recently, raising concern it will hurt exports from the 17 euro countries. French President Francois Hollande has suggested the eurozone needs to manage its exchange rate.
Weidmann sits on the ECB's 23-member rate setting council and heads Germany's Bundesbank national central bank.
ECB President Mario Draghi indicated the bank does not seek any particular exchange rate, which is set by markets, but is monitoring the stronger euro's effect on inflation.

Heat wave! WOOHOO! It was over 50 degrees here yesterday! It was windy & cloudy, but I will take that ANY day over a high of 5 with a wind chill of -20. I was even able to wear SHORTS and a sweatshirt when I went to the gym. Hannah looked at me like I was crazy. This warming trend is supposed to continue through the week. AHHHH! I am going to take full advantage of this and maybe, just maybe, even grill out once or twice this week! It is supposed to be almost 60 on Tuesday!
Yesterday Hannah, my Dad and I went to one of my favorite places, Uno Chicago Grill and had gluten-free pizza again. It was fantastic! Even my non-GF eater, Hannah, LOVED it! She actually preferred this crust over the crust that comes on the kids pizza. How is that for a testament for good crust? I had a house salad, steamed broccoli and 4 slices of cheese pizza. YUM!!
Onto the plan. As I said, it will be warmer, s0 I hope to get out & grill some.
Sunday~ Breakfast for dinner (veggie omelets, bacon, sweet potato hash browns & toast)
Monday ~ Grilled balsamic chicken breasts, roasted garlic rosemary potatoes, steamed broccoli & salad
Tuesday ~ Burgers on the grill, sweet potato fries, baked beans & salad
Wednesday ~ Mexican pizzas, corn & salad
Thursday ~ Salmon or Tilapia, quinoa, veggies & salad.
Friday ~ Homemade Pizza, veggies & salad.
Saturday ~ Valentine's Day (not sure of our plans yet)

Brian Rice admits that, when he plays Legos with his 6-year-old son, he's trying to build more than castles made of blocks. It's not that he's the type to push a particular career on his kids. But if helping his son develop a mechanical mind leads him to follow his dad into engineering, then so be it. It's a great profession — one that provides more job opportunities than the NFL or the music industry, Mr. Rice said. "There are a lot of great things to do in life that aren't glamorized on television," he said. Of course, as a general manager for Sierra Lobo Inc., Mr. Rice happens to work on behalf of one of the most glamorized names in engineering: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Mr. Rice manages Sierra Lobo's $309 million contract to operate and maintain hundreds of testing facilities at NASA Glenn Research Center. Among those facilities are wind tunnels, machines that test jet engines and drop towers where NASA conducts microgravity experiments. In other words, cool stuff. "NASA is such a great place to work," he said. "It's such a treasure for Cleveland." Mr. Rice spends most of his time in the office overseeing administrative issues and serving as a liaison between Sierra Lobo and NASA Glenn staff. He's done a great job since assuming the position in 2006, said George Satornino, president and CEO of Milan, Ohio-based Sierra Lobo. Mr. Satornino noted that the company has maintained its "excellent" rating on the contract the entire time. He also said Mr. Rice receives respect from the hundreds of engineers and technicians who report to him and is quick to consider new ideas. "He just seemed to me to be open to new things ... new ways of doing business," Mr. Satornino said. Before becoming general manager, Mr. Rice spent five years leading a group of about 30 engineers at NASA Glenn. Before that he spent four years running test facilities. He still gets a chance to do hands-on work at home: He just finished remodeling his basement, doing the plumbing, electrical wiring, framing, tile and cabinets himself. He and his wife, Kate, have four children.

In a previous blog post I talked about about how Oracle
Exadata customers can migrate/consolidate their systems without downtime. In that blog post I mentioned that Oracle Data Integrator and Oracle GoldenGate offer unique and optimized data integration solutions for Oracle Exadata. For example, customers that choose to feed their data warehouse or reporting database with near real-time throughout the day, can do so without decreasing performance or availability of
source and target systems. And if you
ask why real-time, the short answer is: in today's fast-paced, always-on world, business
decisions need to use more relevant, timely data to be able to act fast and seize opportunities. A longer response to "why real-time" question can be
found in a related blog post.
If we look at the solution architecture, as shown on the diagram below, Oracle Data
Integrator and Oracle GoldenGate are both uniquely designed to take full
advantage of the power of the database and to eliminate unnecessary middle-tier
components. Oracle Data
Integrator (ODI) is the best bulk data loading solution for Exadata. ODI is the only ETL platform that can
leverage the full power of Exadata, integrate directly on the Exadata machine
without any additional hardware, and by far provides the simplest setup and
fastest overall performance on an Exadata system.
We regularly see customers achieving a 5-10
times boost when they move their ETL to ODI on Exadata. For some companies the performance gain is even much higher. For example a large
insurance company did a proof of concept comparing ODI vs a traditional ETL tool (one of the
market leaders) on Exadata. The same process that was taking 5hrs and 11 minutes to
complete using the competing ETL product took 7 minutes and 20 seconds
with ODI. Oracle Data Integrator was 42 times faster than the conventional ETL
when running on Exadata.This shows that Oracle's own data integration offering helps you to gain the most out of your Exadata investment with a truly optimized solution.
GoldenGate is the best solution for streaming data from heterogeneous sources into Exadata
in real time. Oracle GoldenGate can also
be used together with Data Integrator for hybrid use cases that also demand
non-invasive capture, high-speed real time replication. Oracle GoldenGate enables real-time data feeds from heterogeneous
sources non-invasively, and delivers to the staging area on the target Exadata
system. ODI runs directly on Exadata to use the database engine power to
perform in-database transformations. Enterprise Data Quality is integrated with
Oracle Data integrator and enables ODI to load trusted data into the data warehouse tables. Only Oracle can offer
all these technical benefits wrapped into a single intelligence data warehouse
solution that runs on Exadata.
Compared to
traditional ETL with add-on CDC this solution offers:
In addition to Starwood Hotels and Resorts, Morrison Supermarkets, United Kingdom's fourth-largest food
retailer, has seen the power of this solution for their new BI platform and shared their story with us. Morrisons needed to analyze data across a large number of manufacturing,
warehousing, retail, and financial applications with the goal to achieve single
view into operations for improved customer service. The retailer deployed Oracle
GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator to bring new data into Oracle Exadata in
near real-time and replicate the data into reporting structures within the data
warehouse—extending visibility into operations. Using Oracle's data integration offering for Exadata, Morrisons produced financial reports in seconds, rather than minutes, and improved staff productivity and agility. You
can read more about Morrison's success story here and hear from Starwood here.
I also recommend you watch our on demand webcast on Zero-Downtime Migration to Oracle Exadata Using Oracle GoldenGate: A Customer Case Study and download free resources on Oracle Data Integration products to learn more about their powerful architecture and solutions for data-driven enterprises.

PHOTOS - Top ten Irish male fashion disasters slideshow
Irish men are in the main huge fashion conformists who are indifferent to trends and secretly overawed by fashion. If it's in the shops and other people are wearing it it they'll probably give it a go but don't look to them for fashion forwardness.
If you're looking for an Irish man with obvious personal style try Kerry footballer Paul Galvin. But for every one of him there's 100 poor gasurs still stuck in the 1980's elevator.
Here's Irish Central's list of the ten top serial Irish male fashion offenders.
Tell us if you agree or disagree and let us know who you think should be on - or off - the list. We name and shame because we love, obviously. It 's hard to overstate the damage that one truly committed man can do to the international image of Irish style.
1. Michael Flatley
Legendary Irish dancer Michael Flatley's modus operandi has always been go big or go home. But constantly wondering how to top yourself should never lead to fashion mavens ardently hoping that you will.
Give the man his due though, for over ten years he stood at the center of a major revitalization of Irish dance (we just wish he hadn't done most of it in shimmering gold lame).
There are so many things to lament about Flatley's personal style: the gold head bands, the glistening orange chest, the lace up black leather pants, the embroidered flamenco jackets, and worst of all - oh mother of God - the frilly overblown shirt sleeves. You could have hidden half a medieval court in them. Believe it or not they're still spoken of with dread and horror wherever fashionable Irish people meet.
2. Jedward
These two fraternal Irish pop singing twins really deserve their own category. They're either deliberately provocative performance artists or raving lunatics. Jedward really don't care what you think of them, and if you deeply dislike them they may actually prefer it.
In terms of fashion they get it right as often as they get it wrong but we're including them here one reason: the stand up spiky blond hair.
Like everything else they do, Jedward want a big reaction from you - any reaction really - and the hair is just the tip of their obnoxious iceberg. They're actually closer to the spirit of punk rock, which makes their genesis on the most conservative music show in the universe (The X Factor) all the more funny. Simon Cowell couldn't stand them and that's recommendation enough for us.
3. Daniel O'Donnell
It's all been said a million time before about Daniel we know, but don't forget to remember those heavy knitted sweaters, accessorized with that thousand-yard-stare. Or all the stone washed denim. Have you had enough yet?
PHOTOS - Top ten Irish male fashion disasters slideshow
4. Shane Byrne
We like and admire former Irish rugby ace Shane Byrne's achievements on the field: he's clearly got the heart of a lion, but is that any excuse to have the mane of a lion on his head too?
We're starkly terrified of whatever it is he calls that 'do. Some have described it as a mullet but that doesn't really capture its epic horror. It's looks like "Braveheart" meets Ziggy Stardust meets The Lion King. Get that man to a salon, he's a five alarm emergency.
5. Irish men's shoes.
Good God, what the hell is going on with Irish men's shoes? Do they ever actually look at their own feet? Irish men are either in trainers, or wearing crap shiny black leather plods that look like they were designed in a world with only two dimensions. Your shoes are the first thing that people notice about you, studies show - so you'd want to get it right. And you don't. Always avoid buckles.
Try harder. Seriously.
Ireland punching above its weight in design, too

Lady Gaga to intern for Irish hat designer Philip Treacy
6. Anyone wearing a ______ me, I'm Irish t-shirt
If you have ever or will ever wear a t-shirt that says 'Fight/Kiss/Squeeze me, I'm Irish' in any of its multiple permutations you have never had and you will never will have style.
That is all.
7. Enda Kenny
Our Irish prime minister has never met a garish neon color he wasn't afraid to wear as a tie. But it's his robotically oversized shoulder pads that give him that unfortunate Terminator look. Too stiff, too starched, too packaged, he's let his stylists do all the thinking and it shows.
8. Jonathan Rhys Meyers

The driven matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan is taking center stage with her own talk show, and Kris Jenner said she's ready for the spotlight.
"I'm definitely living my dream," Jenner said of "Kris," a daily talk show getting a summer test run on Fox stations in a handful of major U.S. TV markets.
If Jenner proves her appeal with viewers, she can expect to join the swelling ranks of national daytime hosts that include reigning queen Ellen DeGeneres, newcomers Katie Couric, Steve Harvey and Bethenny Frankel and, on the fall TV horizon, Queen Latifah.
So what does Jenner bring to the talk-show table? As she explains it, a strong sense of what people want from her and "Kris," airing for six weeks in Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Dallas and Charlotte, N.C. The show is also available on YouTube.
"It's a day and date show. I think the audience wants to talk about things happening right now in popular culture," Jenner said. "It's going to be lighthearted — I'm not into doing depressing stories or sensational stories or hateful stories."
Her focus will be on pop culture, beauty, fashion, home design and fitness.
Jenner isn't a novice in the talk-show game, with appearances and some guest-host gigs on programs including "The Talk," "Today" and "The View," said Stephen Brown, Fox Television Stations executive vice president for programming and development.
Viewers "have seen her sub in before (as a host), so they know she can do it. I know she can do it. That's why we designed the set to look like her house. In essence, she's inviting the audience into her home," Brown said.
That's the home made so familiar to viewers on the E! channel's "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," the oversize window on the lives of Jenner's big and growing family that includes new mom Kim Kardashian and North West, her daughter with Kanye West.
But "Kris" won't be an extension of the reality show that launched in 2007, Jenner insisted: "It's absolutely about the viewer. It's not a show about me and my kids."
That doesn't mean she's shutting them out. Daughter Khloe Kardashian-Odom will be among the daily co-hosts who will drop by (Joan Rivers, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Kathie Lee Gifford are on the list) and there's room for more members of the blended family.
Asked when North would make her public debut, Jenner said that remains to be seen. She said the new parents are "doing really, really great" and described the baby, born several weeks early on June 15, as beautiful.
As for the rest of the family's involvement in the talk show, "I think everybody, depending on what's going on in their universe, will come on and pay a little visit here and there. … That's just the natural order of things in my house. It's like, 'OK, Mom's got a new project' " to support, Jenner said.
Besides, she said, through the many years of "Keeping Up," viewers "have really invested in our family and the whole relationship."
Jenner is a good match for Fox's lighter programming aimed at young adult viewers and should pair well with other talk shows carried by Fox stations, including "The Wendy Williams Show," said Bill Carroll, an expert in the syndication market for Katz Media.
Add in the experienced broadcasters who will join Jenner as guest co-hosts, including Tom Bergeron and Ryan Seacrest (the producer of "Keeping Up"), and "all those things bode well for the test," Carroll said.
While her family's fame and pop-culture reach have made critics wince at a society that rewards celebrity before achievement, they are an undisputed object of fascination with a combined 52 million Twitter followers and a total of some 60 million on Facebook and Instagram.
The audience of 3 million that tuned in for June's season debut of "Keeping Up" is slim by comparison, but it's a sturdy number for the cable show that's the starting point for all things Jenner-Kardashian.
As viewers and magazine devotees know, that means a focus on living an exciting, well-dressed life that can include chaotic personal relationships such as Kim Kardashian's short-lived marriage to pro athlete Kris Humphries.
But there's far more to the family empire than magazine headlines and multiple TV spinoffs. Besides product endorsements, there are ventures such as a teen clothing line from youngest kids Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Chalk it all up to the drive of Kris Jenner, 57, the "momager" who's spun an empire from the fabric of reality TV. Total revenues exceeded $65 million in 2010 and keep growing, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
That makes Jenner convincing evidence that skills developed on the home front translate nicely to the business world.
After a stint as a flight attendant, she married lawyer Robert Kardashian and, at age 22, gave birth to the first of her six children (three daughters and a son with Kardashian, whom she divorced in 1991 and who died in 2003, and her two daughters with second husband Bruce Jenner).
"I was the room mother and the Brownie leader and the soccer coach and the carpool driver. I was like a sponge, I was so excited to be doing what I was doing, passionate about my kids and family," she said. Add to that party-giving and decorating, done "sometimes on a budget, sometimes not on a budget," and Jenner emerged as one efficient multitasker.
Her business acumen was sharpened by those in her social circle, most notably music industry giant Irving Azoff who, luck had it, was married to Jenner's close childhood friend.
The first test of Jenner's ability to guide a career came when she married Bruce, the former Olympian who had turned to inspirational speaking but wasn't thriving.
"I started managing him. It was survival," said Jenner, who recalled admonishing her husband, "You're an amazing, fabulous speaker, why not have a more organized machine?"
Asked if her fans understand the hustle and discipline that's behind her glossy veneer (she's up at 4 a.m. to start her day with a workout), Jenner veers into a condemnation of what she calls the tabloid exploitation of her family.
"Tabloids will print any lie to sell a magazine. I used to give people I didn't know out there reading this stuff a lot more credit. I used to think, 'Who would believe this?' " said Jenner, slipping briefly from her persistently upbeat tone into frustration.
She'd rather that people tune in to "Kris" (target audience: women aged 25 to 54) and let her tell the story of her family and the 50-something mother who leads them.
"I want to be an inspiration to somebody," Jenner said. "I want to empower people, especially young women, to feel like they can go out and get it and follow their dream and be successful at any age. … I think that people that go through life need to be reminded that they can do it all, if they want it all."

A visit to El Potrillo, 'the little horse'
A Saturday night dinner date with my husband turned out to be a fun night at El Potrillo Mexican Restaurant in Beaumont. The brightly lit, festive atmosphere was the first thing to draw us into the cheery, comfortable and conveniently located eatery on the Eastex Freeway. Once inside, we found friendly servers and management, and very good food. When the salsa and chips were delivered to our table, we knew we were in good hands. The flavor-filled salsa was served hot and our chips were fresh and toasty warm, but the hit was the guacamole dip, also served without charge.
The menu offers many choices of standard appetizers, a la carte items, Mexican specials, soups, tostadas, enchiladas, Tex-Mex dinners, seafood specials, and combination plates. There is a fully stocked bar, kiddie corner and senior citizen menus, specials and delicious desserts.
Our food was served promptly, piping hot and extremely tasty. I ordered the taco salad and found it to be generous in size with sour cream and guacamole added at no additional charge. The large, freshly baked tortilla shell was filled with ground beef, (choices include chicken or fajita beef), beans, lettuce, tomatoes and a variety of cheeses. My husband chose steak a la Mexicana with fajita beef cooked with onions, tomatoes and green jalapenos, served with rice, refried beans, guacamole, pico de gallo and flour tortillas.
The seafood specials looked tempting, offering shrimp soup, shrimp cocktail, hot shrimp apaseo, an El Pirata Plate featuring tilapia fish fillet, shrimp, rice, lettuce, cucumber, tomato and sliced avocado. Parents dining with children will be pleased to know a dozen choices are available for the boys and girls or for seniors who wish to order smaller portions at reasonable pricing.
Television sets are placed in strategic locations around the dining room and fans were watching a heated soccer match as we dined. We noticed that the servers were on their toes, anticipating what customers might want before they asked. No glass stood empty for long and every customer we observed checking out complimented the manager on duty about his or her dining experience.
The hit of the night for my husband was the huge serving of fried ice cream he decided to order after seeing one served to a guest at an adjoining table. El Potrillo offers flan, the fried ice cream, cheese cake, the popular cake tres leches, and sopapillas.
Wondering about the name, El Potrillo, I asked the manager on duty, Hugo Manriguez, exactly what it meant. Laughingly, he said, "Oh, everyone asks about that. It means 'little colt' or 'little horse' in Spanish. "Our owner loves horses and so he named the restaurant he has owned for about four years now 'the little horse.'" Guests will notice amidst the bright décor several statues and paintings of small horses or horses and colts emphasizing the choice of name for this fun restaurant and bar.El Potrillo is at 5920 Eastex Freeway in Beaumont. Call (409) 896-5995.

DURHAM — Next week, some of the region's brightest up-and-comers in the hot field of cyber security will gather at the University of New Hampshire for the Northeast Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, hosted by UNH's computer science department March 14-16.
DURHAM — Next week, some of the region's brightest up-and-comers in the hot field of cyber security will gather at the University of New Hampshire for the Northeast Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition, hosted by UNH's computer science department March 14-16.
The UNH Cyber Security Club Wildhats (a play on "black hats," slang for hackers) will compete against teams from Alfred State College, Champlain College, Northeastern University, Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), SUNY IT, Syracuse University, University of Maine, University of Massachusetts Boston, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).
"Hosting this year's NECCDC is not only a big opportunity for us personally, but for the computer science department and our university as a whole. It proves that we are serious and invested in excelling in the area of cyber security," says Wildhats team president Greg Hilston '15. "It is an opportunity to exhibit our skills and talents as students, all while showcasing the lovely buildings, surroundings, and academic environment that make UNH what it is." The UNH team took second place in the 2012 competition, their second outing ever.
"Every year I am so impressed with how much the students learn about what it takes to secure real-world systems," says coach and event organizer Ken Graf, an instructor in the computer science department. "The competition is keen, the attackers are world class. I am honored to be coordinating this competition for our future leaders, because the students are truly amazing."
The event will open with keynote speaker Brigadier General Ronald M. Bouchard '77, senior vice president at NCI Information Systems, a leading provider of IT and professional services to U.S. government agencies. He'll discuss threats and attack trends, malware, common attack vectors, response strategies, and the federal government perspective. Bouchard's talk, which is open to the public (please register here: https://www.events.unh.edu/RegistrationForm.pm?event_id=16283), will be Friday, March 14, at noon in DeMerritt Hall, Room 112.
For the competition, each of the 10 teams runs a common set of systems typical to a small business: email, websites, VPN (virtual private network), remote access, and others. During the three-day event, as each team's "CEO" makes requests to these ersatz IT departments, some of the world's best hackers, from the U.S. military, government, and top security firms, try to attack the teams' systems. The winner and one alternate from the competition go on to compete nationally in Texas in April.
In addition to the educational benefits of the competition, the opportunity to connect with bright young minds in the increasingly relevant field of cyber security attracts industry leaders, many of whom support the competition and recruit participants for internships and employment. This year's NECCDC lead sponsors are Akamai, Dell, Liberty Mutual, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; additional sponsors are EMC2, Microsoft, Cigital, Crowdstrike, and Spawar.

Editor2 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 31 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Update 3/10/11: I'm traveling and may not be able to return to the contest for a couple of days.
I'm developing a news service for operators of digital and 3D theaters in museums, science centers, zoos, aquariums, and other venues. The image you are designing will be the header for a blog site that will ask members of the community for their input in shaping the service.
The service developed with the help of this blog will be a news site/magazine with serious journalistic goals, so the appearance should be clean and professional.
People who work in digital and 3D theaters in museums, science centers, zoos, aquariums, and other venues. They may range from technicians to CEOs, but will mostly be white collar professionals. Most will be at non-profit organizations, but some may be in commercial venues. The intended audience is worldwide.
I need a header for an unnamed blog site with an aspect ratio (height:width) of about 1:5. Colorful, but acceptable in grayscale.
It should symbolize the transition from projecting movies on conventional film to projecting them digitally. The viewer should see the past and present of cinema technology changing into a brighter, more promising, more expansive future.
My first concept was a film frame with sprocket holes on the left and a gradual pixellization toward the right side of the image, where it would expand out of the narrower frame of the past.
Feel free to use this as a starting point, including using the Grand Tetons and film sprocket images I have attached. I own the rights to them.
But the Grand Tetons picture doesn't strongly suggest the cinema industry. So I am open to other designs. Any images you provide must be rights cleared.
If you use the sprocket holes as a starting point, I would prefer them not be be overly stylized, but as technically accurate in terms of shape, size, and placement as possible, like the example I have provided. There should be five on the side of the image.
Past: rolls & reels of film, film projectors, fuzzier, scratches, old tech, pre-recorded only.
Future: digital files on hard disk, bit & bytes, digital projectors, brighter, sharper, clearer, high-tech, live & real-time shows.

Originally published on July 19, 2009. Updated with a new recipe and photos.
Ever since my little boy started pre-school, fried rice has been a staple in my family. The reasons are very simple: first of all, fried rice is so easy to make and I can always make a big batch to feed the entire family.
Secondly, my picky eater actually likes fried rice and he doesn't complain when I tell him that he is eating fried rice, and will also bring it to school for his lunch.
I prepare fried rice at least once a week and chicken fried rice is constantly on the menu even though I can practically whip up endless variations of fried rice, depending on my mood that day.
If you are a reader, you would know that I have so many fried rice recipes on the site: chicken and pineapple fried rice, pineapple fried rice, kimchi fried rice, spam fried rice, and so much more.
Other Recipes You Might Like
This chicken fried rice recipe is super easy, quick, healthy, nutritious, and tastes very good. All ingredients are store-bought. For the overnight rice or leftover rice, I always get them from Chinese restaurants or Asian restaurants.
The next time you dine out at the restaurants, ask them to give you an extra serving of rice, which is commonly free. Then pack the rice home and leave it in the fridge overnight.
The next day, the rice becomes overnight rice or leftover rice, which is perfect for fried rice. Add some chicken into the mix and you'll have an amazing chicken fried rice for the family.
Pairs well with:
Chicken Fried Rice Recipe
Chicken fried rice – a popular fried rice with chicken. Easy chicken fried rice recipe that is healthier & better than regular takeout and takes 20 mins.
- 3 cups overnight steamed rice
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz chicken, cut into cubes
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables, defrost
- Salt to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 3 dashes white pepper
1Break up the lumpy overnight rice with the back of the spoon or fork, or with your hand. Mix all the ingredients for the Seasonings in a small bowl.
2Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok over high heat and cook the eggs first. Use the spatula to break the eggs into small pieces. Set aside. Reheat the wok with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and stir-fry the garlic until aromatic. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until the chicken pieces turn opaque before adding the mixed vegetables. Stir to combine well.
3Add the rice into the wok and use the spatula to stir-fry continuously until the all the ingredients are well blended. Add the Seasonings into the wok, mix well with the chicken fried rice. Return the eggs into the wok and combine with the rice. Dish out and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
If you don't have fish sauce, just use soy sauce.

In today's times, it has become important to go online and reap rich rewards available there. By going online, your business finds a wider and bigger marketplace to cater. As more people are reaching on the internet, more prospects are generated on a daily basis. And that's why, more businesses want to go online and leverage an ever-expanding pool of prospects. Your business should also do the same as it's cost-effective to grow and expand the base.
To enter the digital space and get benefits, you need a high-quality, feature-rich and user-friendly website. The website will help your business boost customer engagement and client communication. It will also help in tapping into the opportunities / users and prompting them to become visitors. Your business will reach to more people, your brand messages are further spread across channels in the digital space and more people become aware of you.
All this however is possible only when the website is developed using latest web trends and technologies. If the site is not developed keeping users in mind, it won't serve any purpose, let alone capitalizing on the available prospects. It has to come equipped with simplicity of use, easy navigation, uncomplicated category of products or services and a consistent appearance of layouts or content.
Besides, the website in question has to be laced with simple codes and visual clues so that users never find any inconvenience in using it and accessing your products or services or any elements of the business. No technical fault should exist else the website may not deliver the kind of usability and experience preferred by online users. And once users are not happy or satisfied, your website fails to get visitors.
In a sense, a website has to be superior on the technical front if it aims to benefit on the fast-growing world of internet. Visual charms or aesthetic appeals indeed have some values, but beyond a point, they don't matter much. And this is why it becomes important to trust and hire only experienced developers and coders and programmers for your websites. Given the kind of stake involved, you simply can't trust an inexperienced team for your web development.
So, the focus should always be on hiring only the best web development company to get a superior website and stronger online presence. Only a top-rated development company understands the nuances and subtleties involved in the development tasks. And only a quality-driven and proven company can deliver great results to make your business objectives turn real. Such a development partner has a knowledgeable and skilled team at helm to fulfil client's requirements.
It's therefore important to understand your requirements and based on that, go about hiring the best from the market. Whether you need customized solutions or e-commerce portals or layered development solutions or community websites or whatever, you have to trust experience and expertise to get quality results. And if you don't, get ready then to face losses and de-growth, which can hamper your prospects in a huge way.

It is optional however we like the idea of utilising our company name as the design itself.
Officially our company name is Light IT Pty Ltd. The logo does not need to contain the 'Pty Ltd' however we would like it in the business card.
Please do not use a light bulb in the design.
Please do not use any direct links to Dentists in the design (ie like teeth, apple etc..).
