Madonna to Chat With Jimmy Fallon Live on Facebook
Got plans on Saturday, March 24 at 6PM ET? Well now you do! Madonna will sit down for an exclusive interview with late night talk show host and comedian Jimmy Fallon, which will be livestreamed on the Material Girl's Facebook page. We love how Madge is embracing the digital age. She's so modern, ain't she? She's been sharing tour rehearsals via her page, not to mention images of her bruises from getting prepped and ready to take the show on the road.
The chat will take place before a live audience. If you have a burning question for Madonna, you can submit your query here, according to the official press release about this exclusive, special event.
It's certainly an exciting way to get fans pumped for the release of 'MDNA,' the singer's 12th studio platter, on March 26.
Are you going to tune in, PopCrush readers? We can't think of a better way to spend our early Saturday evening than in the company of Madonna, watching a chat curated by the always entertaining Jimmy Fallon.

Bisexual phases, cuddling compromise, and holiday hookups with an ex
Hello, hot stuffs! I didn't see you there through the ski mask and poofy down material covering 98 percent of your body. That must mean it's officially winter in Chicago, but don't worry, we're turning up the heat for you in this edition of quick 'n' dirty sex advice (past quickies can be read here). Now pour yourself some Glogg, turn up your SAD lamp and settle in.
I'm a 45-year-old woman who recently realized my feelings toward women may not be entirely platonic. Am I too old to go through a bisexual phase?
Hellz no. Unlike shorteralls or Bud Light Lime, lovin' ladies never goes out of style. Get on that and they'll get on you.
Short version: My girlfriend likes to cuddle a lot. I need space in order to sleep. How can I get it without hurting her feelings?
Wait, wasn't this a "Friends" episode? You'll just have to wait until the show comes on late-night TV to find the answer. Or! Cuddle compromise. Allow your girlfriend a cuddling grace period before you turn over and ignore her. If you've given her a proper orgasm, she should be asleep before you know it and you can go about dreaming of Sears in peace.
How do I weather the awkward and inevitable: "So when are you two getting married?"
"As soon as I get the Facebook notification."
My boyfriend and I have sex regularly and I go down on him a lot. But, he doesn't return the favor. Once he was down there for about 20 seconds, but that's it. How do I talk him into being more giving?
Well, you could get all sexy-stalemate on him and stop giving him blow jobs until he straightens up and flies south. But, the withholding option gives me the sads too. Tell him what your needs are--they are pretty routine, after all. It's not like you're asking him to get calf implants or install a robo-sex jacuzzi in your bedroom. If he refuses to compromise, then send him to the North Pole without a glowing-nosed caribou to guide him.
My awful six-month relationship ended last month, and the woman in question has been emailing and calling me, asking to remain friends. I can't see us being friends right now, but is a holiday hookup out of the question?
No, but I'd advise you to seek other, less awful and more emotionally distant booty calls. It hasn't been that long, you don't want to be friends, and your grief is fresh. Pick a different ex, or a concerned yet flirtatious friend. It's like I always say: "A friend in need is a friend in me." Happy ho-lidays!

Abandoned rabbits available for adoption bring smiles to localsBy DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 28. 2012 8:48PM
The rabbits are among the survivors of more than 50 found in deplorable conditions outdoors when Manchester Police animal control officers investigated the home on Dec. 22.
Six rabbits were dead, but 49 others survived despite being malnourished and some suffering from urine scald from having to live in their own waste. They were turned over to the shelter, which doesn't often handle rabbits on such a large scale.
"It's not an every day event. That's for sure," said Angelica Ladd, spokeswoman for Friends of the Manchester Animal Shelter. "We don't usually handle a lot of small animals." The no-kill shelter at 490 Dunbarton Road more typically houses dogs and cats.
The Animal Rescue League took in about 12 or the rabbits and other organizations were to take some of the others once they were spayed or neutered on Friday. About eight have been living in foster care and shown they are adaptable to family life.
"Fortunately, most of the rabbits were in really good shape," shelter manager Shelley Greenglass said.
One of the rabbits needed treatment for an respiratory infection, but the others recovered quickly from minor ailments, Ladd said.
The shelter will be offering the rabbits for adoption starting Saturday, when all the sterilizations have been completed. The shelter will base the adoptions on the best home for the rabbits and require the adopting families or individuals to keep the rabbits as indoor pets.
The adoption fee is $60 per rabbit or $100 for two. The money covers the costs of spaying or neutering the animals. Volunteers donated food, hay and other supplies to help with the care provided by the non-profit shelter.
Shelter hours Saturday are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and noon to 3 p.m. Sunday.
"We're grateful to everyone who has contributed to the care of the rabbits. It truly has been a community effort," Greenglass said. It will be really nice to see the rabbits go to good homes."

To test the Core-Contact Freezer CPU cooler we ran it on our Intel Core 2 Quad test platform, which was then run at default and overclocked settings. As a baseline, all coolers will be compared to the stock Intel cooler; we will also compare it to the other recently tested air coolers. All the temperatures were obtained by using Core Temp 0.95 after sitting at idle for 30 minutes and then again under 100% load for 30 minutes. To obtain 100% load, I ran four instances of Super Pi 32m calculation with the affinity of each set to a different core. I used two profiles to test all of the coolers and they are listed below. The room temperature was kept a constant 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22c) for all benchmarking. All of the coolers were tested with Arctic Silver Lumiere as the thermal interface material.
The rest of the system is as follows:

The American, playing his 250th club match in England, gave Everton a 63rd-minute lead at Goodison Park. His right-footed kick from about 5 yards inside his own penalty area bounced about 30 yards from the Bolton goal and was blown by the wind over leaping Bolton keeper Adam Bogdan, who was standing by his 6-yard box. Howard hardly reacted.
"I was delighted that we were in the lead and would hopefully go on to get three points, but it's not a nice feeling for a keeper. It's really awful actually," Howard told Sky Sports. "For the back four and the goalkeepers at both ends, there was an awful wind swirling. You could see everybody was mistiming balls. Defenders were missing clearances that normally they would put up the field. I think the wind is the hardest condition to play in. Snow, rain, sun doesn't matter, but the wind really does play tricks on you."
Howard spoke with Bogdan after the match.
"I let him know that I was feeling for him," Howard said. "It's not a nice place to be. I've been there before, a long, long time ago, and that was why I didn't celebrate."
Bolton rallied on goals by David Ngog in the 67th and Gary Cahill in the 78th.
The only other goalkeepers to score in the Premier League are Peter Schmeichel, American Brad Friedel and Paul Robinson.
Friedel scored for Blackburn following a corner kick at Charlton in the 90th minute on Feb. 21, 2004, but Claus Jensen scored seconds later to give Charlton a 3-2 win. Schmeichel's goal also was in a losing effort, for Aston Villa in a 3-2 defeat at Everton on Oct. 20, 2001. Robinson scored in a 3-1 home win over Watford on March 17.
The game marked the return to Everton of American midfielder Landon Donovan.

ST. JOHNS, Ariz. (AP) - A man who recently had murder and 10 other felony charges against him reinstated has been arrested in Washington state.
The U.S. Marshals Service says 25-year-old Joseph Roberts was taken into custody Friday in Spokane without incident.
An Apache County judge had dropped charges against Roberts without prejudice last year. The judge said Roberts' trust in the system was betrayed when the county attorney's office discussed a plea deal with him without legal representation.
An appellate court reversed that decision and sent the case back to Apache County Superior Court for a trial on the merits.
Roberts did not appear at a hearing last week in St. Johns, resulting in a warrant for his arrest.
He's accused of fatally shooting a man, and helping a friend mutilate and bury another man's body.(Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

Category:XO Korea
From OLPC
환영합니다 | Portal | XO Korea | Deployment | Content | Hardware | Software | Mesh Network | Ethics | LOS | XO City | Accreditation | Consortium
As this page is for category summary, see XO Korea for details about our activities.
Go to XO Korea | Local Community
As you may agree, Korea (South) is one of both developing nations and developed nations. Only 30~40 years ago, Korea was one of the poorest nations of the world, requested aids from many nations such as Philippines and Taiwan etc. However, maybe owing to our parents who bought books, rather than foods, for their children in their extreme poverty, Korea now has some features of developed nations from the aspects of GNP, GDP, technologies and social welfare systems etc. Because of the such peculiar status of Korea, we plan to test some possibilities derived from the OLPC project.
We think XO is a revolutionary idea in human history, a most brilliant idea of human being. As it is revolutionary, there needs some complementation. Some of them we think are;
- Not only children, but youths and adults also need education
- Not only school, but governments and corporations can also be educational facilities
- For OLPC to be XO, not only children, but every citizen also need their own XOs.
- For School Server to operate, not only schools, but governments and corporations also need their servers, Government Server and Business Server
So, we think, for XO to be perfect, not just schools but other social sections must also be XOed. It perfectly conforms with the long-term efforts of the Korean government, Vision2030 plan.
Now, we are doing some interesting trials via XO. We want to pour SUGARs on not only elementary schools but pre-primary, secondary, and even (under)graduate schools also. Our intentions are largely due to the IT environment and governmental plans of South Korea herself. Those of South Korea are a little bit different from those of nations which OLPC aims to be deployed first.
In summary, we (some Korean citizens) want to apply XO architecture (that is, children's machines, school servers, sugars and mesh networks) to;
- from pre-primary to graduate schools
- governmental organizations
- business entities
- houses
And again, we want to distribute NOT ONLY XOs, but its derivatives ALSO. That is;
- XO for primary schools
- A derivative for secondary schools, Larger XO or Type II XO
- A derivative for colleges, XO Smartphone or Type III XO
- A derivative for governmental or business entities
School servers also need some derivatives, Government Server and Business Server
Once again, our decisions are NOT by our dreams, BUT by the current IT infra of South Korea and the long-term IT plans of its government, so called the Vision 2030 of the Korean Government.

Former major league baseball player Ron Kittle fears for the life of retired OF Jose Canseco, according to The Associated Press, because of Canseco's part in whistleblowing the steroid scandal. "My first thought was: 'I wonder who's going to be the first one to shoot him,' " Kittle said. Monday. "I still think somebody who might have had their life ruined might take vengeance on him. If I were Canseco, I would think about that."

|Giants | Bonds Blasts Kittle for Racist Accusation
Thu, 09 Jun 2005 14:27:15 -0700
The Associated Press reports San Francisco Giants OF Barry Bonds fired back at former MLB OF Ron Kittle after Kittle accused Bonds of saying he doesn't sign autographs for white people before a game at Wrigley Field 12 years ago. "Who is Kittle? How long did he play? He played in our league?" Bonds said. "Ha! Do you guys believe that? ... Do you guys know my life history a little bit? ... One, you insult my children, who are half-white. "I was married to a woman who was white, so let's get real. I don't even know the guy. Tell him he's an ... idiot. Somebody said he wanted a piece of me. Tell him I'm at 24 Willie Mays Plaza and he can come get me anytime he wants to - with pleasure. Don't insult my family."

"Crazy" Business Ideas That Actually Worked
It took faith and nerves of steel to get these 10 concepts to market. Each one succeeded -- despite the naysayers.
Take the story of the online giant Zappos. Even Tony Hsieh, the dot-com star who now heads the company, initially believed that shoppers would only buy shoes they could try on. He thought the Zappos pitch was "the poster child of bad Internet ideas."
In 1975, Gary Dahl was a 28-year-old advertising executive joking around with some pals when he hit upon the idea of selling rocks in paper crates and calling them "pets." Who would have guessed how much the gag would earn him.
Still bigger companies, like FedEx (FDX) and Amazon (AMZN), weren't instant hits with skeptical -- or downright dismissive -- investors. And remember when Twitter seemed like a laughable idea? The company was recently valued at $1 billion. What a riot!
Here's our look at 10 businesses that weren't supposed to work, until they did.

It was fitting that Erica McKenzie nailed a long 3-pointer Saturday against Cal State Northridge to join Pacific's 1,000-point club.
It was fitting that Erica McKenzie nailed a long 3-pointer Saturday against Cal State Northridge to join Pacific's 1,000-point club.
McKenzie's 215th career 3-pointer made her the 18th player in program history to achieve the milestone. It was a feat that made the senior reflect on her time at Pacific.
"For me, points have never been important. I just worry about wins and losses, but I realize what an honor it is and I'm just thankful for the opportunity I've received at Pacific," McKenzie said. "It's been an amazing ride and journey from those first two years."
The Tigers were 15-45 in McKenzie's first two seasons, but she and senior forward Kendall Rodriguez persevered and currently have Pacific (14-3, 4-1 Big West Conference) in a tie for first-place as the Tigers prepare to visit UC Riverside (9-7, 2-3) at 7 p.m. today.
Rodriguez, who became the 17th Pacific player to reach 1,000 points last month, said it's been a pleasure helping turning the Tigers around with McKenzie.
"It's really cool that we'll be in the record books together," Rodriguez said. "We're just having so much fun this year and laugh about how tough it was at the beginning for us."
Pacific coach Lynne Roberts said she's proud of McKenzie and said everything she accomplishes is a testament to her work ethic and mental toughness.
"She's done things the right way and she's coachable," Roberts said. "Erica always seems to play big in those big moments. She has a calming effect on the team and I've come to really rely on her out there. I have a ton of trust in her to do the right thing."
All of the Tigers will need to do the right thing on defense to slow down UC Riverside senior Tre'Shonti Nottingham, who leads the Big West at 19.7 points per game and also averages 6.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
Pacific swept the season series last season by a combined 38 points. Roberts said she's stressed focus all week after the Tigers climbed into a share of first place with Cal Poly with a 60-51 win over Cal Sate Northridge on Saturday.
"I don't pay much attention to the standings right now because you just have to win the next one," Roberts said. "Our margin of error on the road is slim in the Big West and our upperclassmen know from experience that anyone can win these games."

Great service and lots of fun from start to finish, a friendly and professional approach with awesome results. We're all very happy with our EP and hope to use LBS Audio again in the future
LBS Audio has all the equipment you could ever need for your vocal processing needs . The studio is in a comfortable private location and Alex Jann is the best engineer I have worked with. I would never go anywhere else
The sound was fantastic! Every band member got their required monitor mix, and during performance the sound was excellent. I felt very comfortable whilst playing due to the quality of sound on stage, and delivered my best performance of the year so far!
What sets LBS Audio apart from the competition is the fact that they are so passionate about what they do. It means that they do their absolute upmost to make sure everything is perfect.
LBS Audio really made our wedding. Danced all night with the great sound and funky lights.
Thank you so much for playing such an important part in our special day. LBS Audio staff were professional and accommodating with all of the planning, and on the night you really got the party going! We received great feedback from all of our guests and we had the time of our lives! We would recommend you to anyone we know for any occasion or party.

B.C. town councillor sorry for dog poop left on desk
Leaving a pile of dog feces on a bylaw officer's desk turned out to be a crappy joke.
Neil Horner, a councillor for the Vancouver Island town of Qualicum Beach, apologized to bylaw enforcement officer Don Marshall for his "epic example of stupid airheadedness" at Monday's council meeting, according to the Parksville Qualicum Beach News.
During the meeting, Horner said a few weeks ago the bylaw officer told him someone from his "inner circle had been seen walking the family dog and not picking up the feces."
Told it was not the first time a complaint had been made, Horner wanted to avoid embarrassing the person and asked Marshall if he could go and clean it up himself.
After Marshall agreed to the offer, Horner went and picked up the poop and placed the bag on the back of his bike. Feeling good about himself, he then decided to get some coffee.
"I stopped myself before I did, however, thinking I would show Mr. Marshall the bag to show that I had indeed followed up with my pledge to clean it up," Horner told council, thinking the two of them would have a light-hearted laugh and go on with their day.
"However, when I got to his desk, he wasn't there and in an epic example of stupid airheadedness, I left the bag on his desk. What was I thinking? I don't think I was."
Horner said he was sincerely sorry for what he did and had no intention of upsetting anyone or trying to make a statement with the bag of poop.

David Hall: In circulated grades, the 1921-S is one of the rarest coins in the Buffalo nickel series. In Mint State and Gem uncirculated condition it is not quite as relatively rare, but is still very rare. In Gem condition, the rarest dates in the series are the 1918-S, 1919-S, 1920-S, 1923-S, 1924-S, 1925-S, 1926-S, and 1927-S. The 1921-S is the next rarity level as it is not quite as rare as those issues, but is very rare nonetheless. It is comparable in rarity in Gem condition to the 1919-D, 1920-D, 1925-D, 1927-D, and 1928-S. Strike is usually decent for a San Francisco Mint issue, though there are some survivors with weakly struck Buffalo's horn and tail. Luster is usually a subdued frosty look.

Head on over!
Free testing and certifications until April 4.
Why? Because they have a Global competition to see which country kicks butt.
So take advantage and get your papers!
What kind of certifications does this website acutally provide, I am flipping through on it dont really see a specific certification. It just looks like it is their tests
Duct tape.....A whole lot of Duct Tape
Spyware/Adaware problem click
They have tests with Comptia, MCSE, and quite a few others. You write the test and ifyou pass, send off a request to have the certificate mailed. If you do a search for A+ it won't show up, but if you click on show more results, you'll find it under Comptia
You'll find them under the "Test Center" link
Here are some screenshots:

According to this
*These certifications do not include certificates
So what's the point?
"Oh yes Mr prospective employer, of course I have qualifications and certifications. I've got a BSc, MSc, MCSE, CCNA, CCNP etc , etc, etc" No sorry but I don't actually have any real certificates to show you
Computer says no
(Carol Beer)
missed that.
Well, good for practice tests?
Hi. I did this a few months ago. I did the free Linux certification. As stated, you need to pay for the actual certification paper.
IMO, the Brainbench cert is a joke. But I have seen postings from people claiming that it helped. There have been posts claiming that the HR person was familiar with the Brainbench name and this actually helped during interview and conversation. I guess it's possible.

I've taken a few of them at the request of recruiters and such, trying to place me with a client. I think they should be considered 'soft' certifications, vs. the obiviously opposed 'hard' certifications...CCIE, CISSP, MCSE, Linux+, CEH, etc. It's like getting a certificate saying you have attended 16 hours of network protocol training. Whoop-dee-doo. That's nice, but it doesn't quite meet the standard across the board for people 'in the know', it just makes clueless HR weenies happy.

I just took the Network Security certification they have and I earned it and "scored higher than 71% of previous participants".
Now I just have to pay $14.95 for the cert paper...
Wonder if its worth it to grab these certs?
I guess having the paper can't hurt... but are they worth anything to employers out there?
I've never heard of them.
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
I did the A+ (or Computer Technical Support as they call it) and scored better than 77% of all test-takers (which doesn't mean anything since I only scored 2.8/5 )... I ordered the cert - never know what it's good for. And I guess putting the logo on my website won't hurt either - customers generally don't know the worth of certs; to them, a cert is a cert.
Those things are actually quite fun. For a geek...
Now I know what I'm going to do for spring break... testing! lol
I just took the Technical Support Cert and passed it...
"Percentile: Scored higher than 93% of previous examinees"
These things are easy. I guess I might as well as get the paper too.
Looks like you can get a better deal if you use the promo code too... okstate
Wonder if that will still work.
Then the paper certs are only $5.00 lol
Wonder if they'll just give me a BS in Computer Science...
I saw that I could get one for $25.00 in this email I got the other day...
EDIT: I just tried that code... it reduced the certificate cost to only $5.00!! lol...

Help! Is it too late to correct my Baby's Nipple Confusion? Here is the background:
My baby girl will be 2 weeks old on Wednesday. She nursed just fine from me in the hospital. The first evening home from the hospital, baby went almost 24 hours without urinating and she was extremely upset (my milk hadn't quite come in yet). We called the pediatrician and he told us to give her a bottle of formula or expressed milk immediately as she was not getting enough to eat. Since then, SHE REFUSES TO NURSE!! Every time I try to nurse her, she puts her mouth around my breast but won't actually latch. Then has a total melt down and cries until her voice becomes hoarse. It kills me!! I am heart broken as I'm a huge believer in Breast Feeding. All I do is cry. It's now been about 9 days since we've been giving her bottles w/formula. The last successful BF session I had with her was 7 days ago. I all but gave up and was extremely depressed. I even went to a Lactation Consultant who suggested a nipple shield but that did no good as my baby couldn't suck any milk thru the shield. My Milk (even when engorged) doesn't exactly "spray" out like other Mom's say. I can hand express it but its only a slow drip - not a spray. Yesterday morning I decided I was not going to give up. I began pumping to get my milk flow stimulated again. I also started taking Fenugreek Supplements to increase my milk supply so I have a strong "arsenal" ready when I try my first attempt again. Any suggestions?? Have I let this go on too long and there is no way to reverse it at this point?? I know I need to stop the use of the bottles immediately but I want my milk supply to be as high as possible so I can be ready just in case I can get her to latch again.

Office of the Vice President for Student AffairsVice President for Student Affairs: Michael Whaley, North College, Room 220, extension 3160, e-mail: email@example.com.
The primary mission of Wesleyan is to create a dynamic learning environment in which each student is inspired to acquire academic, intellectual, creative, and leadership capabilities that prepare her or him for a life of learning and active citizenship in a rapidly changing global community. The Vice President for Student Affairs Office is primarily responsible for developing, organizing, and integrating academic and nonacademic resources in support of this mission.
The Vice President for Student Affairs is responsible for the supervision, coordination, and integration of resources, services, programs, and personnel that support student learning and development. The dean also serves as a member of the University's senior staff, as an ex officio member of the Honor Board, and as co-chair of the Student Life Committee.
Class Deans
Each class year has a class dean. While class deans have many responsibilities, their primary responsibility is to support students in their pursuit of an excellent learning experience. Class deans serve as sources of information about services and opportunities available to students. They are also sources of information about the requirements for graduation and other University policies and procedures.
Many Wesleyan students meet regularly with their class deans to discuss academic, social, and personal challenges, for example, how to develop effective study and time management skills, how to deal with homesickness, and how to achieve personal goals. Some students consult with their class deans about how they can improve their academic standing and take advantage of the many opportunities and resources at the University as well as in Middletown and the surrounding area.
Class deans also monitor each student's academic progress toward fulfilling the requirements for graduation. Students who are on academic probation are required to meet with their class deans to discuss what steps they are taking to return to good academic standing.
Dean for the Class of 2021: Louise Brown, North College, Room 202, extension 2762 e-mail: email@example.com.
The first year is an exciting year for discovery and challenge on many levels. First-year students meet with their class dean to discuss concerns ranging from how to make a successful transition from home and high school to Wesleyan, to what courses to take in their sophomore year. Some first-year students seek information about University resources and services, and others seek assistance in working through personal and academic challenges.
Dean for the Class of 2020: Marina J. Melendez, North College, Room 215, extension 2764, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The sophomore year may be the hardest year of college. With the intimidating but exciting first year behind them and the pressure to declare a major ahead, many sophomores really do feel the proverbial slump. However, it may also prove to be their most fulfilling year if students use all available resources to explore, challenge themselves, and refine their interests.
Dean for the Class of 2020: David Phillips, North College, Room 217, extension 2757, e-mail: email@example.com
Sophomores visit their class dean at various points in the year to discuss the process of choosing a major. Questions range from whether a student should double-or triple-major to what a student should do if he or she is absolutely stumped about a major.
Just as often, however, sophomores visit their class dean to learn about the academic support resources at Wesleyan, as sophomores exploring the curriculum will find that certain subjects in which they excelled in high school are more challenging in college. The class dean is a perfect resource in this common predicament, helping the student create strategies for building skills and confidence, as well as discussing appropriate support resources.
The sophomore class dean is also the contact for general information about the Dean's Office Tutoring Program. All students are encouraged to speak with their individual class dean if they feel they might benefit from tutoring.
Dean for the Class of 2019: Jennifer Wood, North College, Room 215, extension 2774: email@example.com.
Juniors start out their year with a major and have the freedom to focus more specifically on their chosen field of study as well as to continue to pursue other areas of interests. In that process, the junior class dean is an excellent resource for juniors who are exploring career options, internships and other opportunities; she also provides advice on how to manage the transition to senior year.
In addition to providing academic advising and support, the junior class dean coordinates the University Major, the Twelve-College Exchange Program, and the University Scholars Program. Dean Brown serves as the campus representative for the Truman and Beinecke Scholarships, and she coordinates the annual awarding of academic scholarships, fellowships, and prizes to outstanding members of the Wesleyan community.
Dean for the Class of 2018: Renee Johnson-Thornton, North College, Room 217, extension 2764, e-mail: email@example.com
The senior year offers the opportunity for a culminating learning experience as students take advantage, for the last time as undergraduates, of all that Wesleyan has to offer both in and outside of the classroom. They spend the senior year not only in in-depth study, but also preparing themselves for graduation and life after Wesleyan.
To this end, the senior class dean works closely with the seniors on their programs of study and academic records as well as on postgraduate options and issues of leaving. She certifies students for graduation and is involved in various activities and committees related to graduation. The senior class dean coordinates Academic Review, the Operational Committee, and the Readmission Committee, and processes law school recommendations. She also serves as the campus representative for the Watson Fellowship .

The AP's award-winning team of hundreds of staff photographers, freelancers and photo editors sends out some 3,000 photos every 24 hours - over 1 million photos a year - to our subscribers around the globe.
How then to sum up an entire year of news in just 10 photos? The very notion is daunting.
Photo editing is a process of comparison and selection. It involves aesthetics and storytelling and impact and memory.
In the end, I chose 10 representative photos, some from the biggest stories of 2012, some for their eye-catching content (and then a broader edit of some 150 news photos to try to capture almost everything else).
In the 10, we see grief over the loss of children in Colorado and Syria. We see children being led to safety from the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. We see a fleet of emblematic New York taxis partially submerged after super storm Sandy. We see President Obama and Mitt Romney facing off in debate. A man sets himself alight in India to protest the situation in Tibet. We also see amazing things; A man leaps from a balloon 38 kilometers (24 miles) above the earth's surface, and a cruise ship floats on its side after running aground of the coast off Italy. A bear falls out of a tree after being tranquilized, and a high-speed underwater camera captures a swimmer plunging into the water at the London Olympics.
The choice of these photos is meant only to represent the broader spectrum of human experiences captured in the other images. Every experience is, in some way, a valid one.

Stuart Ian Burns says Sarah Jane Adventures: Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith
Back in the distant past, in mid-October when I was still exactly in my mid-thirties, it seemed as though the production team were taking the brave step of writing out Luke and K9 in an effort to move away from the too easy deus ex machina style story conclusions which have tin-dogged the series from the start. Luke may have stuck around as a dismodied head and shoulders on a flatscreen, making fleeting appearances to justify his continued presence in the introduction ("Boy GEEENIUUUS"), but the stories since have arguably been more thrilling because, with one obvious exception, the remaining attic allies have needed to rely somewhat on their wits, putting the clues together without too many easy answers (even to the point of taking Mr Smith out of the equation for this or that reason) and a fair bit of trial and error.
Which makes me wonder whether Clay and Gareth, in crafting the conclusion to Goodbye, Sarah Jane Smith and this season are being entirely serious when offering a solution that requires the combined effort of Luke, K9, Mr Smith and newbie electronic soap tray Mr White and a return to the worst excesses of previous stories: the kind of easy research leaps Lisbeth Salander would be proud of, action sequences lasting what seems like mere seconds piled one on top of another in which characters shift geographical area in moments and not always through teleportation and a villain that requires the emotional fallout from a fake global terror to be destroy. Epic concepts like Clyde trapped in the orbital golfball which would have been explored over whole episodes in the old Doctor Who (and did in the case of The Space Pirates) are ushered in and out all too soon.
As ever I was simultaneously elated and appalled, especially since the first episode is actually a quite sensitive (well sensitive for this panto) portrayal of Alzheimer's or at least the stresses of watching a trusted friend or family member getting old. Who of us hasn't forgotten something or witnessed someone else forgetting something really rather major like the current residency of their son and wondered – are we or they alright? Lis wonderfully demonstrated first the denial to friends, denial to oneself before acceptance and the decision on whether to fight or relent and let nature take its course.
Of course, in the real world none of this is brought about by a milfian temptress in a red sports car with matching couture. Like Samantha Bond and Suranne Jones before her, Julie Graham senses rightly or wrongly (it oscilates) that this isn't the place for subtlety though she manages in the first episode to just about convince us that Ruby could be a potential replacement for Sarah Jane, cleverly approximating some of Lis's business (the walk, the stance, the flick of the hair). By the cliffhanger, the needs of the show kick in of course and it's as though Kate O'Mara is in the room (not least because Ruby's plan, to steal people's life essences wasn't a million miles away from the real Rani's in her first adventure, if you squint).
Ultimately ranking about a seven on the Zaroff scale you still have to applaud the determination with which Graham sells the Katesh's gastroschisis state and the boggle eyed notion of a stomach which exists outside an alien's body, the writers sadly failing to have Clyde suggest it as useful alternative to a gastric band. What I would have liked to have seen would have been a proper battle of wills between Ruby and Sarah Jane the latter having already lost her wits before the former reached ascendancy. Would I be wrong in suggesting that the title character has been even less present this series, mostly falling into her old form of having to be rescued? In nearly ever story this year she seems to have been zapped or put through some sort of mental torture.
Which brings us back to doe in which I also expected the Doctor to arrive for good measure. Whilst its true that both Rani and Clyde also have a hand in the solution, there's always something slightly unedifying about a character who's previously had little input on a story charging and saving the day. Perhaps Luke's still ill-advised scarf is meant to hide the chord which is being used to dangle him in like the original gods that would be brought in at the close of a Euripidian Greek tragedy. Aristotle hated this approach to drama and said so in Poetics where he proposed (radically for 335 BCE) that the resolution of the plot must always spring from the internal actions of the play, a model which has worked for much of the rest of the series.
Or as Hitchcock says, if you show a gun in the opening reel it has to have gone off by the end. What just about makes it saleable (other than the fact that Luke did at least put in an appearance in the first episode) is Tommy Knight's burst of adolescent vitriol, his character bawling out Rani like a refugee from a John Osbourne play, as though what we're actually seeing is the result of some whole other unseen narrative which is happening at Oxford, with Maslow's hierarchy of needs as the main villain (a tricky bugger once you've reached the middle section). When he later clumsily tells Rani that he loves her, it begins to seem almost exactly like my university experience.
But predictably amid all the shouting and running, the best scene is the quiet moment between Rani and her mum, in which Gita describes quite logically the jealousy of seeing her daughter palling about over the road with this second mother figure and the secret they clearly have between them, Mina Anwar perhaps suggesting, just as she did with the alternative version of the character in The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith that the feckles, flowery, "HELLO SARAH!" version of her character is an act or defence mechanism and that, eep, Gita might have hidden depths which is quite a contrast to Graham's gurning from across the road. It's this contrast which has, on the whole, made this series such a joy.
Next Time: I don't know. Time's caught up with us.

Moe's Southwest Grill Sees 12 Percent System-Wide Sales Increase in 2013
Significant Westward Expansion Planned for 2014, Beginning with 18-Unit Deal in Northern Calif.
ATLANTA - Jan. 10, 2014 // PRNewswire // - Moe's Southwest Grill®, a leader in the fast-casual Mexican restaurant space, finished 2013 with $526 million in system-wide sales – a 12 percent increase from 2012. Moe's also exhibited a 4.5 percent increase in same-store sales, showing consistent excellence among longer-standing locations. The company, recently ranked the No. 1 Mexican food concept by leading research group Technomic, will open nearly 100 new restaurants in 2014.
In 2013, Moe's opened 54 new restaurants, including a milestone 500th location in Manhattan in June. The company also signed 155 new franchise deals. In 2014, the Moe's brand will start an important expansion on the west coast, beginning with an 18-unit agreement in Northern California with HKM II, LLC of Roseville, Calif – a major player in the quick-serve burger space.
"We've had our eyes on California for a long time now, and we found a terrific franchise partner to help us carve a path," said Paul Damico, President of Moe's. "2013 was great for us in terms of sales and unit growth, and we anticipate even stronger results in the next year."
Moe's stands out for both its food and customer incentives. Moe's "Food Mission," which can be found on the walls at every location, outlines the company's commitment to never using a microwave, zero trans-fat per serving and no MSG. More than 20 fresh ingredients are prepared daily, and the menu caters to those looking for low-calorie and gluten-friendly options. Moe's also offers free chips and salsa with every meal and a Coca-Cola Freestyle® machine for more than 100 unique drink options.
The first location in California is slated to open in the Sacramento area by spring of 2014. In total, Moe's plans to open 96 new stores in 2014 and sign 200 new franchise agreements. Moe's will open new restaurants in other significant markets like Dallas, Las Vegas, Fort Worth, Tex., Springfield, Mo., and Omaha, Neb., and in the works are plans for further development in markets like Chicago, Philadelphia, and Orlando.
Many of the accomplishments in recent years, and expected growth going forward, come from attracting top-level, multi-unit franchisees with remarkable portfolios – like Burger King, Five Guys, Wendy's, Wingstop and more, says Damico.
"Prospects are increasingly looking to Moe's because of our outstanding growth potential in an industry segment that is by no means saturated," said Damico. "We have a fun, irreverent brand that people want to be a part of."
At the close of 2013, Moe's Southwest Grill had more than 550 restaurants nationwide, and a strategic growth plan is in place to increase its existing presence to a total of 800 locations by the end of 2015.

The Iraq War is a testament to the great damage a foreign policy based on myths, lies and distortions can do to our nation's security and well-being. As the election draws near, a new set of myths and fallacies as misleading as those that led the Senate to support George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq have become embedded in our foreign policy discourse. Many of them are being perpetuated by the very same political forces that peddled the myth of mushroom clouds coming from Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Others are the product of muddled thinking on the part of both Republicans and Democrats. If left unchallenged, these myths and fallacies could influence the outcome of the election and shape policy in the next administration. In this special feature, put together by Nation editors with Sherle Schwenninger, a frequent Nation contributor and director of the Global Economic Policy Program at the New America Foundation, we dissect ten of them and offer what we believe is a more accurate depiction of what is at stake for the United States and the world.
Myth 1. It's a dangerous world. We face an array of serious national security threats that require an experienced Commander in Chief.
John McCain's supporters have repeated this refrain over and over, replete with 3 am imagery, to call attention to his presumed national security credentials and to cast doubt on Barack Obama's readiness to be Commander in Chief. Obama has on occasion challenged the politics of fear, but many of his supporters have too readily conceded that it is a dangerous world.
The world is more dangerous than it would have been had the Bush administration not invaded Iraq, spurned Iran's diplomatic overtures in 2003 and unnecessarily antagonized Russia by expanding NATO and withdrawing from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. But the world is far less dangerous than it has been in previous election years–certainly less dangerous than in 1960, when John F. Kennedy was elected, or in 1980, when Ronald Reagan was voted into office. Seven years after the 9/11 attacks, it is evident that Al Qaeda lacks the capacity to pose a systemic threat to America. Since 9/11 there have been no major terrorist attacks against US targets outside the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan.
As for "great power" conflict, China, India, Brazil and Russia are all stakeholders in the current international system and would prefer to work with the United States rather than challenge it militarily. Iran is too weak economically and militarily to pose a threat to the United States or to US allies in the Middle East and is years away from obtaining nuclear weapons. The stability of nuclear Pakistan and oil-rich Saudi Arabia remains a concern, but both countries have proved to be more resilient–and, in the case of Saudi Arabia, more capable of reform–than their critics have allowed.
This is not to say that the United States does not face major international challenges. These challenges relate to the economic rise of China and India, the transfer of huge amounts of our wealth to petrodollar states, the vulnerabilities that come with the complex interdependence of industrial production and financial systems created by globalization, and the incipient struggle over resources, particularly oil and water. But the skills and resources needed to meet these challenges are not the warrior instincts highlighted in McCain's Commander in Chief ads. When the phone rings at 3 am, it will more likely be a call warning that an international deal to rescue an American bank that is "too big to fail" has collapsed, and that the Treasury and Fed will have to step in, than a call about a terrorist attack on American soil or missiles being fired on an American ship. The nerves and judgment of a good crisis-management team may indeed be in high demand in the next administration, but not those that the catchphrase "It's a dangerous world" brings to mind.

New Survey Cites Summer and Winter as Times for Special Rosacea Care
BARRINGTON, Illinois (May 27, 2009) -- While the sunny days of summer may be associated with outdoor fun, new survey results show that it is also the time when people with rosacea must take the most precautions to prevent flare-ups of this unsightly, red-faced disorder now estimated to affect well over 14 million Americans. For many, the survey also found that even the cold days of winter can present special challenges.
In a recent survey of 1,190 rosacea patients conducted by the National Rosacea Society (NRS) and published in Rosacea Review, 85 percent said their rosacea is affected by changes in seasons. Nearly half said their symptoms are at their worst when hot weather arrives, and 46 percent said they have to make the most lifestyle adjustments during this time to reduce the likelihood of a flare-up of signs and symptoms.
"The sun and hot weather are such common rosacea triggers that it should not be surprising that rosacea is often aggravated in the summer," said Dr. Lisa Maier, assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Michigan. "Everyone should minimize sun exposure and use sunscreen during all seasons, but rosacea patients should be even more cautious than most."
In addition to using sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher, rosacea sufferers affected by sun and heat are advised to stay in a cool, air-conditioned environment during midday or when the weather is especially hot. Overexertion is also a common rosacea trigger, and sipping a cold drink or chewing on ice chips can help prevent or reduce the facial flushing that often accompanies strenuous activity.
The survey found that cold weather may be problematic for many rosacea sufferers as well. Thirty-five percent of all respondents and 46 percent of those who live in the North said their symptoms are at their worst during cold weather, when raw wind and biting temperatures can irritate already-sensitive facial skin.
Nearly a third of the survey respondents and 44 percent of those in northern areas of the country said they make lifestyle adjustments to ward off rosacea outbreaks during winter, such as covering their face with a scarf before going outdoors or avoiding facial flushing by steering clear of the piping hot beverages often served on chilly days.
The good news is that rosacea flare-ups can often be successfully prevented. The survey found that, regardless of seasonal changes, 87 percent of the respondents said medical therapy and making lifestyle changes had helped reduce their rosacea signs and symptoms.
"If patients notice that their condition tends to worsen during a certain season, they should be on the alert to take whatever seasonal steps may be needed to avoid their personal triggers," Dr. Maier said. "They should also talk to their dermatologist for further guidance on managing their condition."
Rosacea is a chronic disorder that is often characterized by exacerbations and remissions. It typically begins at any time after age 30 as a flushing or redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that may come and go. Over time, the redness tends to become ruddier and more persistent, and small blood vessels may appear. Without treatment, bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases, the nose may become swollen from excess tissue. In many patients, the eyes are also affected, feeling irritated and appearing watery or bloodshot.
Although the cause of rosacea is unknown, its signs and symptoms can be controlled with medical therapy and lifestyle changes to avoid factors that may aggravate the condition. The most common rosacea triggers include hot or cold weather, sun exposure, emotional stress, wind, heavy exercise, alcohol, hot baths, spicy foods, humidity, indoor heat, certain skin-care products and heated beverages.
Information and materials on avoiding trigger factors, as well as other key aspects of rosacea, are available on the NRS Web site at www.rosacea.org. Information may also be obtained by writing the National Rosacea Society, 196 James Street, Barrington, Illinois 60010, via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling its toll-free number at 1-888-NO-BLUSH.

Ten years into the program, new technology for the Federal Aviation Administration's Next Generation Air Transportation System is gradually coming online. But non-technical issues are delaying many of the promised benefits and creating skepticism in the airline industry.
"NextGen is more than a technical platform, it has to be useable," FAA Administrator Michael P. Huerta told a House panel July 17.
Implementing the program is a delicate balance of integrating technology with training and policy across multiple air carriers, the FAA and airports. New GPS-based navigation systems have to be installed in aircraft, and new tracking systems, monitors and software are needed in FAA air traffic control facilities and airports. Decisions on enabling the use of new take-off, landing and in-flight navigation procedures then have to be made on a user-by-user, location-by-location basis.
Difference in flight paths of planes approaching Houston airport.
Still, "we are delivering NextGen on time and on target," Huerta told the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Aviation.
Transportation Department Inspector General Calvin L. Scovel III disagreed. He cited an FAA internal study that concluded that completion of the NextGen program could be 10 years late and cost two to three times the initial $40 billion price estimate.
He said the problems are the result of inadequate planning, slow decision making and a change-averse FAA culture. And there also is what one congresswoman called "the elephant in the room": funding.
"We don't believe funding has been an issue" for the NextGen program to date, Scovel said. But that could change with sequestration and a House Transportation budget for fiscal 2014 that cuts NextGen spending for the first time.
Scovel urged the committee to "hold FAA's feet to the fire," to produce more near-term benefits that could encourage airlines to more swiftly adopt NextGen technology.
The Next Generation Air Transportation program began in 2004 to transition the Air Traffic Control system from outdated ground-based radar to satellite-based GPS. This requires new technology for the FAA's basic ground infrastructure as well as new systems for air traffic controllers and aircraft.
NextGen was to be in place by 2025, but that appears to be an increasingly difficult deadline to meet. Although elements of the system now are in place and new navigation procedures are producing cost and scheduling benefits at some airports, Scovel said flatly that "2025 is off the table."
Key pieces of technology for enabling NextGen include the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement Systems to update equipment used by air traffic controllers, an effort that dates back to 1999. STARS was supposed to be completed by 2017 at a cost of $438 million, but the cost and schedule now are uncertain.
The En Route Automation Modernization system, which replaces and enhances software at 20 FAA centers that manage high-altitude air traffic, is the primary platform for processing flight data. That program was to be done in 2010 for $2.1 billion, but has been pushed back to 2014 with an added $330 million in costs.
Huerta cited benefits that have been gained from initial deployments of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast technology, which uses GPS positioning data rather than ground radar to provide more accurate location information to pilots and controllers. This technology can allow more efficient use of air space and of take-off and landing slots at airports. Huerta said use of the system by some aircraft have provided an estimated $2.3 million in fuel savings for airlines at Washington's Reagan National and Dulles International airports. At Atlanta's Hartsfield, it has increased take-offs and landings by 10 percent and saved an estimated $20 million in fuel.
But Scovel said only a small percentage of eligible flights are using the technology, and airlines remain skeptical of the benefits of cockpit upgrades.
The wild card in FAA's ability to complete deployment of NextGen is funding. The House Transportation bill for fiscal 2014 cuts NextGen capital investment funding by $43.6 million.
"What that forces us to do is make tradeoffs between maintenance of the current infrastructure and investment in NextGen," Huerta said. He said the FAA is working with industry now to prioritize NextGen activities and identify areas for cutting under the current budget because of sequestration.

ADS-B is the biggest linchpin in the process. In order for the ENTIRE system to work as planned, ALL aircraft operating Part 121 and 129 must be equipped and certified. The ENTIRE network of airborne aircraft have to be able to tell each other where there are, and more importantly, where they are going to be, so that every pilot can quickly and safely work with ATC to avoid conflict. One element question, will ADS-B data interact with the aircraft to deviate to prevent close proximity, or will this system work better than expectations, and reduce air aircraft separation intervals.
I wonder why so many articles refer to ATC modernization as adding GPS navigation. Aircraft have been using GPS for navigation for more than 20 years, this is not new. The modernization piece is ADS-B, relying on the aircraft to broadcast their position to all and using it for surveillance and separation. That is much more complex a task than bolting a Garmin in the cockpit, requiring a nationwide ground network and totally new procedures on the ground and in the air.
A number of people have nominated the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for worst bureaucracy in the world. I add my vote. You may have heard for many years that the FAA is decades behind in its computer technology. Whatever you've heard, it's probably far worse. GPS has been around for a couple of decades, used by the military and law enforcement (in every search movie for over a decade). I and thousands of others cannot grasp what is the nature of their problem. Have they got a concerted program to gather the worst managers that can be found? Do they have a stupidity test required to "pass" to get a job, kind of like what they used to do with telephone operators – you're too smart so we don't want you?

Finally some finished work
Here are some full sized personal pieces I was able to finish, along with touching up some demos.
The first two are just personal pieces.
The last two are from class demos that I finished later on. The class is an environment concept design class at CDA.
The first two are just personal pieces.

New Demo Sketches
These sketches were for another in-class demo. I plan to take these (or at least one) of them further. With all the darkness around, I think doing a more brighter and optimistic painting would be a nice change of pace.

Exhibition Industry Associations Join Forces in Continuous Effort to Stop the Demolition of Earls Court
By: PR Newswire
Jan. 18, 2013 01:32 AM
BERKHAMSTED, England, January 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
In an on-going effort to prevent the proposed demolition of Earls Court Exhibition Centre, the Association of Event Organisers (AEO) and UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry, have sent letters to the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, Rt Hon. Vince Cable.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130118/588955 )
In their letters to Mr Cable, the associations draw attention to the detrimental impact that the closure of Earls Court Exhibition Centre will have not only on the exhibitions and events industry, but also on the wider community.
The associations are asking for Mr Cable's support of their demand that the planning applications relating to the Earls Court Opportunity Area be called in so that the Government can judge all the evidence through a fully transparent public inquiry.
The Exhibition Centre brings 2.5 million visitors and 300,000 exhibitors to West London every year, generating over £1 billion in revenue.
Despite the UK exhibitions and events industry generating an annual expenditure of £11billion every year and a Gross Value Added (GVA) of £5.6 billion, the sector is constrained by a lack of sustainable exhibition space. The UK has just 5 per cent of European exhibition space (compared to 22 per cent in Germany, 14 per cent in France and 10 per cent in Spain), whilst London's largest venue ExCeL is only the 36th biggest in the world. By contrast, Paris alone has two venues in the top ten.
Paul Woodward, Managing Director, UFI, commented: "Demolishing Earls Court could set a potential UK growth industry further behind key international competitors. Furthermore there is no evidence that London needs less exhibition space. In fact, the UK competitors are currently expanding their own capacity precisely because they understand the economic benefits the centres and the events that they host create."
Karim Halwagi, Chief Executive Officer, AEO, stated "The effect of the potential loss of the Earls Court Exhibition Centre, possibly the UK's best known venue on an international basis, would be enormous, not only for the UK exhibitions and events industry, but it would also have a huge impact on attracting foreign companies to exhibit and even stage their own events in London. The irony is that UK Trade & Industry (UKTI) deeply wish to attract foreign event organisers to the UK but we already have a shortage of venue stock - you must remember, there are only 52 weeks in a year and one or two venues cannot host the enormous range of large consumer and trade events that are currently held in the UK annually, let alone additional events from abroad."
About Association of Event Organisers (AEO)
Our aim is to be the voice of the event organising industry, to serve the collective needs of event organisers and to promote the interests of our members and the industry at large. AEO membership enables organisers to work with members of its sister organisations, Association of Event Venues (AEV) and Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA).

1. Re: DG41CN - Memory ProblemFlying_Kiwi Dec 24, 2011 3:49 AM (in response to FergusDinamus)1 of 1 people found this helpful
Hi Fergus,
If you have a look at the System Memory support page for your specific board it explains some of the requirements for memory to work with this board. One requirement is that the memory must NOT be ECC memory. You also wrote that you'd bought a (singular) 4 GB module for an upgrade rather than a pair - how did you test this - ie what modules(s) plugged into what slot? Even though boards such as this should be able to work with one slot unoccupied, in my experience, attempting to do so is often problematic. There may also be issues related to ram 'density' so talk to your supplier about such options.
Normally if you go to most memory manuyfacturers websites, they have a search function which will match the correct modules for a given motherboard but I can't find such a website for Markvision brand ram - maybe a call to your memory supplier would get the information of precisely what RAM modules you need. What OS are you using with the board BTW (have you checked it'll fully utilise that amount of RAM)? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx
2. Re: DG41CN - Memory ProblemFergusDinamus Dec 24, 2011 6:03 AM (in response to Flying_Kiwi)
Hi Flying Kiwi,
I was using windows 7 32 bits, but I decided to upgrade the ram because I would install the 64 bits version, which by the way I've already done. But considering you question about the OS I thought the module should work independently of the OS. In the case the OS would recongnize less than 4 GB, right? This moldule was not ECC, and I tested it in both slot (A and B), but it did not work. It strange because I tested one of my 1GB modules alone and it worked, but I think you are right about using a pair of memories. Earlier today I went to the store I changed my 4 GB module for two 2GB modules and it worked, so I it was probabily an incompatibility with the controller chip of the memory or an issue related to ram density, as you said.
As I solved the problem the topic can be now closed. Anyway, thank you very well for your help. Next time I will certainly buy some Kingston modules.

The module should work independantly of the OS and in the case of x86 versions of Win 7 you should have had 3.2 GB or so of memory showing as usable in Windows (the rest is still in use, just behind the scenes with system hardware such as built in graphics). Had you installed 8 GB on an OS that didn't support that much, I believe it would just see it's limit amount but would still run (not sure if there'd be reliability concerns because I've never tried that).
My DG45ID Win 7 x86 PC shows 4.00 GB installed and 3.18 GB usable. I use 2 x 2 GB modules with this board and I've never run low on memory with this PC. I have tried it with x64 Win 7 (which seemed to run slower on this system, also having reduced compatibility with my peripheral hardware). I've not tried this board with just one module but as I say, I have encountered problems with just one high density module on other, different, boards in the past and have seen similar problems reported here many times in the past. Aside from possible reliability issues, you get faster performance if you have a matching pair because you then utilise 'dual channel' mode so the choice is easy. 8 GB on older boards is really only justified if you have lots of very demanding apps open at the same time or the computer is performing server functions IMO. I think you're probably better off saving your money towards your next PC and sticking with the 4 GB you now have. Glad I could be of some assistance

So let me get this straight: the Eagles just played a season in which they set a franchise record for points scored but they don't have any weapons.
And just so I understand: whenever Donovan McNabb plays a good game it's because he's great and whenever he comes up short it's because he has no help.
Just so I get it.
No, they don't have Larry Fitzgerald. Yes, they would be better if they had Larry Fitzgerald. But come on. Kevin Curtis and DeSean Jackson are not incompetents. When healthy, Brian Westbrook has the same status at his position and occupies the same number of defenders as Fitzgerald does at his. Westbrook's continued health is a real and fair question, but his pedigree and his healthy production levels are not. They have weapons in the passing game. Their problem this season was an inconsistent, ineffective running game.
This is such a tiring conversation. The guy threw for a zillion yards even while playing badly enough in one month-long stretch of the season to get himself benched. And think about two of the biggest passing plays of the post-season. One was a 71-yard screen pass to Westbrook against the Vikings, a play that was all about Westbrook and the downfield blocking. The other was the bomb to Jackson against the Cardinals, a tipped ball on which Jackson showed a great display of concentration.
He has weapons. I cannot take another off-season of this. They need to fix their running game so that they can get the tough, dirty yards in the tough, dirty situations. That is their biggest offensive issue, giving Westbrook a running mate -- that and the likely retooling of their offensive line.

Arnold Schwarzenegger 'looking forward' to "Terminator: Genesis"
Arnold Schwarzenegger is ''really looking forward'' to working on the 'Terminator: Genesis'.
The 66-year-old star was forced to step down from participating in the franchise while he was the Governor of California between 2003 - 2011, but is delighted to reprise the role he first played in 1984's 'The Terminator' in the latest film.
He explained: ''I'm really looking forward to that because as you know, the last time when they did 'The Terminator' it was when I was governor and so I couldn't be in that movie, but now I'm back again and they are very excited about having me in the film.
''The script is fantastic, so I'm really looking forward to this film.''
Schwarzenegger is preparing to begin filming in a number of locations across the US from April.
Talking at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, website TheArnoldFans.com report he said: ''We start filming in the middle or in the end of April and it will be a four or four-and-a-half month long shoot. We will be filming it in New Orleans, with some of it in San Francisco and maybe a little of it in LA, but most of it will be done in New Orleans.''
'Terminator: Genesis' is being directed by 'Thor: The Dark World' filmmaker Alan Taylor and is set for release on July 2015.

I don't know about you but I'm bloody freezing. When did it get so cold?
The only sensible option at the moment is a hat and you can't go far wrong with this balaclava from Folk. As a balaclava, it's, you know, slightly unwearable, but it really comes into its own as a hat, when it becomes rather lovely.
Folk being Folk (you guys!) the hat is hand-knitted in Bolivia and made from pure Alpaca wool. Alpacas are small llama-like creatures which roam about the mountains spitting at each other. Their wool is soft and silky and much lighter than sheep's wool, which means that an alpaca knit keeps you warm in the cold and cool in the warm. Supposedly.
This balaclava is available for £60 from Laundry Room.
