With increase in number of these companies there has been increase in cases of insurance fraud. This article will outline some important things to keep in mind in order to protect your self from such frauds.
In some instances fraudsters could arrange accidents by deliberately driving their car in front of your vehicle and making you hit them. They will behave in very apologetic manner .They may even pretend that they have saved your life and prevented a mishap. These scammers may have links with doctor and auto repair shop. Doctor could help them in making money by fake medical bills. And in return doctor will get his cut of profit. Auto repair shop may make bills amounting to more than the money actually spent in repairing the car. Thus in this way scammers can make easy money.
Some of the scammers may themselves damage their cars and asking claim for that from insurance company. Some may even report that car has been stolen and ask for claims.
It has become very important to protect yourself form such scams .Be cautious while driving; ensure that no one is following you. Always maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you so that if you have to make any emergency stop you would be safe .Whenever you are driving keep a vigil on road, there is a possibility that someone might be following you, These fraudster could follow you for days, observe your driving pattern so that they can figure out when are you likely to make a mistake. If you notice that someone is following you, you should immediately contact the authorities.
If you are ever involved in any accident and suspect anything unusual you should follow the correct procedure .Take down the name, driver license number and other details of the driver involved. Note down the number and model of the car. If you have a camera then take down the pictures of the accident scene, it could assist the insurance investigator to figure out whose fault is it.
Hopefully, you dont come across these situations in life. Just follow these precautionary procedures to ensure your safety.

Students who have completed 60 or more transferable semester college units by the established deadlines are considered upper-division transfer students. (See Undergraduate Requirement Deadlines above.) Since CSULB continues to be a high-demand campus and expects to receive more applications than can be accommodated, competitive admission has been implemented for the transfer class in order to maintain the academic quality of campus programs and services. All upper division transfer applicants must apply to a specific major and meet all of the following minimum CSU standards by established deadlines:
Applicants to non-impacted majors who meet the minimum criteria as outlined above will be considered in the competitive round. Admission offers will be based on applicants' overall transfer grade point average and space availability. Applicants to non-impacted majors who are transferring directly from Long Beach City College, Orange Coast College, Golden West College or Coastline Community College and have completed at least 30 units at one of these institutions and will be held only to the minimum CSU criteria listed above.
In addition to the CSU minimum requirements outlined above, students seeking admission to impacted programs must satisfy additional, supplemental criteria. Students applying to impacted majors are encouraged to designate an alternate major in which they are seriously interested and committed to pursuing. If not admitted to an impacted program, students may be considered for admission to the alternate major or offered redirection to another CSU campus that is accepting applications. For more details, please check the campus website at www.csulb.edu/enrollment.

Incase Pro Slider Case full review
Incase's Pro Slider Case for the iPhone 4/4S is a hard shell case with a rubberized bumper for overall protection. It comes in either black or white, but with different coloured bumpers — black with a grey bumper, or white with a black, teal, or raspberry bumper.
The bottom part of the case slides off easily for docking in any kind of dock-cradle accessory, giving this case its "pro slider" name.
The Pro Slider is made of a high-quality plastic, which is attractive and glossy, but has one unfortunate side effect — it shows fingerprints, or at least the black model we tested did. The bumper is matt and rubberized, which improves grip, and the case has a solid, protective feel without adding too much bulk.
The inside of the case has soft cushions to prevent the case from scratching your iPhone while you're fitting it in the case, and the cushions also add some shock protection.
The edges of the Incase Pro Slider Case come up over the screen just a bit, which helps protect your iPhone in case of a face-down fall. However, there is no protective screen film included, so you'll need to purchase that separately if you want more screen protection.
Additionally, the case ships with a small plastic stand which can prop up your iPhone in several different angles for viewing videos or video chatting.
A small opening at the top leaves full access to the headphone jack, while a rubberised button cover protects the Sleep/Wake button and keeps it fully operational.
Along the side, there's a cut-out for the Ring/Silent switch, while the volume buttons get rubber push-though overlays. A precision cut-out along the bottom provides access to the dock-connector port and speaker.
The camera cut-out is large enough to allow full use of the camera and flash. Everything on the iPhone works fine within the case.

Objective of the consultation
The fast evolution in the ICT domain and the continuous emergence of new, global and innovative ICT services, applications and products fuels the growing importance of interoperability.
Many ICT technical specifications are developed by organisations other than European standardisation organisations, international or national standardisation bodies.
To enable further interoperability between devices, applications, data repositories, services and networks, public authorities should make the best use of the full range of relevant technical specifications when procuring hardware, software and information technology services.
Articles 13 and 14 of the European Parliament and Council Regulation 1025/2012 on European standardisation aim at responding at these challenges by providing the possibility to "identify" ICT technical specifications that are not national, European or international standards in order to be referenced in public procurement, involving a broad consultation of a large spectrum of stakeholders. To achieve any such identification, the ICT technical specifications and the organisation that has developed them need to comply with the list of criteria set out in Annex II of the Regulation 1025/2012.
To support the European Commission in this procedure, and advisory expert group, the multi-stakeholder platform on ICT standardisation (MSP) has evaluated ECMA-402 technical specification against the criteria set out in the Regulation. The evaluation report containing the views of the MSP is the object of this consultation.
The objective of this consultation is to receive further comments from a broad public before identifying ICT technical specifications which may be eligible for referencing in public procurement. All interested citizens and stakeholders are invited to submit written comments on the questions raised in this document to provide the Commission with the best evidence base for its decision.
Period of consultation
From 19.11.2013 to 19.01.2014
Target group(s)
Relevant public and private organizations
How to submit your contribution
Respondents should submit their contribution by accessing the online questionnaire.
Received contributions will be published on the Internet. It is important to read the specific privacy statement attached to this consultation for information on how your personal data and contribution will be dealt with.
Results of the consultation and next steps
Once the consultation is closed, the European Commission will publish both the results and the report from the consultation here.

Toshiba touts third-generation HD DVD
Whatever will Blu-ray say?
It may feel like Blu-ray and HD DVD have only been around for the blink of an eye, but Toshiba is already on its third generation of HD DVD players. The manufacturer has unveiled three new boxes that it claims offer exceptional video performance and greater ease of use.
Tosh's 'exclusive' third generation range includes the HD-A3, HD-A30 and HD-A35 HD DVD players all of which are extremely thin at roughly 6cm deep. The HD-A30 and HD-A35 are both capable of displaying video at 1080p, which is considered by many to be true 'full' HD resolution, and at the true cinema 24 frames per second rate.
Toshiba's third generation, all singing all dancing, HD-A35
The HD-A3 is Tosh's entry-level third generation HD DVD player, displaying video at 1080i resolution, but not supporting 24fps.
The HD-A30 and HD-A35 models will also ship with in-built CE-Link connectivity, allowing them to communicate with and control peripheral devices, such as TVs, though an HDMI connection. So you could be able to turn on your TV via a single button on a Toshiba HD DVD player. The HD-A35's HDMI connectivity also enables it to provide 5.1 channel analogue output and up to 7.1 channel High Bit Rate Audio, which creates advanced surround sound by bypassing the player's internal audio processor and sending signals directly to a 7.1 capable A/V receiver.
Unfortunately, for the time being, the boxes will only be available to Toshiba's American consumers. The HD-A30 will be available first in September for $400, with the HD-A3 and HD-A35 both shipping in October for $300 and $500 respectively.
Toshiba announced last month that it intends to release a firmware update in the US next month that will allow its HD-XA2 and HD-A20 players to display video at 24fps.

First things first: Ron Howard's "Rush" has nothing to do with the Canadian prog-rock trio.
It might have an easier time at the box office if it did.
The Oscar hopeful focuses on the bitter feud between England's James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Austria's Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) on the 1970s Formula One circuit.
I know what you're thinking: "1970s? Formula One? Howard might as well have focused on the rift between Pakistani cricketers Javed Miandad and Imran Khan."
Thankfully, "Rush" is so engrossing, you can be completely swept away even if you don't know your Formula One from your Formula 409.
"Rush" is the story of both men, and both actors share the narration. But whether it's because of Hemsworth's star power or the fact that his is the flashier role, things tilt decidedly in Hunt's favor for quite some time.
A wildly popular playboy, Hunt comes across like James Bond in a racing suit. When he walks into a hospital with a fresh crowbar wound acquired from a jealous husband, Hunt beds the first nurse he sees.
He eventually adds a patch to that racing suit that reads "Sex — Breakfast of Champions."
Thanks to a memorable breakthrough performance from Bruhl ("Inglourious Basterds," the upcoming "The Fifth Estate"), Lauda slowly overtakes the hunky Hunt to become the heart and soul of "Rush."
Lauda knows full well that he isn't liked, primarily because, unlike Hunt, he's serious and he works hard. He even embraces his nickname, "The Rat."
Rather than earning his spot in the F1 ranks, he buys his way in through an owner with financial troubles. Then he gives his car more horsepower and a lighter frame in ways his mechanics never dreamed. When Ferrari signs him, he immediately labels his new car designed by the legendary automaker "a piece of crap."
Hunt eventually marries model Suzy Miller (an underused Olivia Wilde), but when Lauda meets his future wife (Alexandra Maria Lara), she tells him he can't possibly be an F1 driver, because F1 drivers are sexy.
As Howard has said, "Rush" takes place in a time when the sex was safe and the driving was dangerous. Looking back, the sport and its drivers seem to have been teetering on the verge of insanity.
Hunt prepares for his first race against Lauda with a swig of Champagne and a hit off a joint. The cars are described as both coffins and bombs on wheels. And Lauda accepts a 20 percent chance that he'll die whenever he gets in his car. That seems about right given that, during the seven years "Rush" spans, nine F1 drivers were killed and numerous others, including Lauda, were horribly injured.
Even though it's not a spoiler — Lauda's wreck is featured in the trailers, and there's this thing called Wikipedia — I won't go into the specifics here, except to say that, if it hadn't really happened, you'd never believe it. And the aftermath would be even more inspiring if Lauda weren't so insufferable.
It's safe to say that Howard, reteaming here with "Frost/Nixon" screenwriter Peter Morgan, has learned a thing or 297 about directing since his previous fast-car adventure, 1977's racing-to-Vegas comedy "Grand Theft Auto."
The thrilling race footage drops viewers right in the middle of the action in a way reminiscent of those documentaries that once were IMAX's bread and butter. At times you can almost feel the breeze.
Howard and Morgan dole out enough information to help newcomers follow the action as Hunt and Lauda, fueled by equal parts machismo and petrol, throw caution and their lives to the wind in a succession of exotic locales: Monaco. Sao Paulo. Watkins Glen, N.Y.
Still, there's no getting around the fact that "Rush" is going to be a tough sell in the U.S.
A similar movie focusing on, say, the rivalry between Richard Petty and Davey Allison or the one pitting Dale Earnhardt against practically anyone would have, at least in some sections of the country, generated lines around the block.
But there's something about discovering a new story — and, for some, a new sport — that generates more excitement.
Or, you could say, a bigger rush.

Caltrain will keep all of its 86 weekday trains running in the next fiscal year, though riders will have to shell out a little extra for tickets and parking, the agency's board of directors decided Thursday morning.
The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, which oversees the cash-strapped transit agency, voted 5-3 Thursday morning to adopt a budget plan that depends largely on one-time revenues to balance the books in fiscal year 2012. The approved plan also assumes the agency will close its projected $3.5 million budget deficit through a contribution from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), a regional planning agency.
Though the final details of the deal are still being negotiated, the money would likely be transferred from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's allocation for Caltrain's capital budget to its annual operating budget, Caltrain staff said Thursday. Caltrain CEO Michael Scanlon called the deal a "one-year patch" and said the money could come from a vehicle-replacement budget, which is already underfunded.
"It's a complicated deal," Scanlon told the board. "It's close to done. There's been good, positive spirit that has characterized the talks between the partners and the MTC."
Under the plan, train fare would go up by 25 cents, while the daily parking costs would rise from $3 to $4 starting July 1. The cost of the monthly parking pass would go up from $30 to $40.
Members of the public and the board majority hailed the plan as a victory, however temporary, to the agency's ongoing budget crisis. Caltrain staff had previously proposed reducing service to 76, or possibly even 48, trains, suspending weekend service at some stations (including California Avenue in Palo Alto) and closing other stations altogether. These proposals drew heated opposition from the public, with riders, business owners and city officials packing into recent public hearings to urge the agency to keep its service levels intact.
The board agreed to adopt the staff proposal to keep all 86 trains running and to keep stations open and weekend service intact. But members also warned that most of the fixes in the proposal are only good for the next fiscal year and that the agency still faces the monumental task of getting permanent, dedicated funding.
This is the third year that the Caltrain board has declared a fiscal emergency.
"The reality is that we have to be in this together during these two years to come up with a solution because we could be back here with something far more serious than what we're talking about now," said Director Adrienne Tissier, who made the motion to accept the new budget plan.
Director Liz Kniss said she was "amazed" that the agency was able to come up with a plan this quickly and called the proposal "very satisfying." Director Ken Yeager agreed, though he acknowledged that the long-term problem is far from solved.
"I think we all sensed the message that this is a service that we'd like to maintain as much as we could," Yeager said. "Even though we got the little train up the hill this time, there's a lot of clouds."
Board Vice Chair Omar Ahmad, who along with Chair Sean Elsbernd and Director Jose Cisneros opposed the resolution, called the proposal a "one-time spending plan" that is "not a solution" to the agency's financial struggles. He proposed an amendment that, barring a new funding source, would have established a 48-weekday-train model as the "sustainable" service model for the agency. His amendment failed, with only Elsbernd and Cisneros supporting it.
"I absolutely guarantee with the budget we're about to adopt, we'll be here in January or February declaring a fiscal emergency," Elsbernd said. "The underbelly of this system is completely corroded."

URLs vs. XHTMLFebruary 17, 2003
After linking a few items on Amazon.com, my XHTML has been broken for who–knows–how–long. It popped up as I redesigned, but I didn't bother investigating. Chalk one up to silly validation rules and laziness.
Today however, thanks to a helpful ALA post, I'm back to W3C–coated goodness.
The problem as I see it is such: XHTML doesn't like ampersands on their own. Period. You must use the & code in every spot you need a regular ampersand, aside from standard use in HTML character/escape codes. You're linking to a page that contains a few query–string arguments, delimited by ampersands? Tough. Convert 'em.
This seems a bit severe to me, but I've been willing to play with the W3 so far, so a bit of tweaking in Blue Spark (which, incidentally, has its own problems with ampersands that I thought I fixed but still it chooses to destroy character codes so I'm getting a bit frustrated and hope no one else is using it for much other than playing yet) and I'm back in the saddle.
Notes to self: graphics–lite alternative, clearer link to archives, and throw in the .rdf since it's being generated anyway — some readers might want it.
Addendum to self: site is busted in Mozilla/NS. 3 out of 10 for style. See me in my office after class.

You know those little glow-in-the-dark handles that you can pull on if you want to escape from being locked in the trunk of a car? You would think they're reserved for Cadillacs, Buicks, and other mafia-friendly sedans, right? You'd be wrong as they even come on the Lotus Exige S. We know safety comes first, but is this really necessary? Can you really fit a person in the cargo space of the little trackday toy?
Well, if you're trying to fit an adult in the boot, no. Maybe if you chop the body up, but at that point you're probably not able to pull the rip cord. So clearly, the only people the emergency escape system is back there for, are small children. Yes, because we're sure child-snatchers drive Exiges. That bright orange is perfect if you're trying to be inconspicuous too.

''I appreciated so much your teldng tbne to write me about the eonvocatlon programs scheduled
on 0U1' campus this year. I am sorry fo~ the problem this has raised but WfUlt to assure you
that BQthel seeks to bs true to its ev~l!w1 beritags and to enthrone Jesus Christ at the
heart of Its program. '
''1 am p-ateful that there are {:)!ople Bc&ttered all over America who mre deeply concerned that
Bethel remain firmly moored to the faith of its mUt.era. All of us Imow only too well the. tragic
toll that Satan bas taken !n Chr1sttan blgber education. \Ye know of scores of schools that once
were as evangelical and evangelwtio as Bethel but which lmve long since lost that empbas18 t
and we ~ameetly pray tbnt this shalt not happsn at cur school. CoDaequently; wherever I au I
am encow:a.g!ng fon~ to pray for Bethsl and its leadembip to this end and rejoice that there
nremany who share this concern with us. I am sure that your concern grows out of this
interest In the vJelfure of Bethel. Others hf.J.ve Dent me copies of Dr. Archer Weniger's
article !,3£Sl"ding tbs convocation speakers, Md 1 would lilte to bel!eve that his somewhat
sharp ct'"~k grows out of the smne Cbrist-l1kr3 spirit of Christian concern.
''The pI'Gblam. referred to, oo"'Jever t ~ out of two opposite points of view held by equally
cievO'J.t Chr!stbms toward our reatlOMhip with those witb whom we may Dot a;ree entirely.
It is true thnt both Dlr'. Weigle and Dr. King hnve been invited to appear in our convocation
progrnm tbis year. 1 am enclosl'lg two COpiClS of t~ complete programs including the mOrning
convocatIons M wen as th® even!ng ones. As you will note, theee cov~r a wide range of topicS
that 8.l'3 of inta~st to alert gmdenta em a.'lJ Christian campus today. Tho people who are being
broug.'rt to B3thel for the Vtl.JJ.'ious lsetul"3 aN being invited for some special, contribution that
they ctm rn.slts in a IJDI.rticulrur field and not because we sub8~rlbe to the total11:y of their vi$wpoints
in '3t9 arsa, mcluding their religiouS ooUefs. The over-all senes includes discussions·
of boolm. ooucation, nature, LIncoln.telsvision cr!ticiom, art, poetry and sCience. as well
ae 11109 ::elations Md Biblical translations. We do not even know'that all of these psople are
ChristfnM who lU."G coming. but \Y0 do kaOl'll that tliGY Mve made 81gn1ficant contributions in
spectalizad aN~B 'tbat Cbrist1sns ought to latOT; about If ,thtsy are to Stve hlteWpnt leadership
for Christ in our world. You VIm s. that in cur evening convocaUcm folder we fDdicate tlaat
the use of these people at BeUlel doss not meaD any subscription by Bethel to othar views they
may have. Dr. Khlg 1ms been 1nv1ted 'because he is today ("'1118 of tbe foremost leOOars 1n promoting
non-violent programs for mcrlal equality. This is a concern for every Cbristlan.. As
a matter of fact, the matters of social WGli.a1"8 constitute one ana where thsologica! differences
among Chrlsthms are less s4:n1fieant and where we find that many of us can work together '
to'MU'd a common objacth-e • • This doas not mtn1m:lze. our differenoaa but indicates that then
also exists some areas of agreement. III ,the· ease of DI'. Weigle, he has been invited because
next year will mark the 350th mmtvol'8f1l';y of the translation of the King James Version of the
Bible. \oV'bUe he has ooen identified with the Rev10ed standard Version; of course. 'he is also
one of the aclmoVlledged scholars of our day in hisfamiltarlty with the King James Version.
His basic talk will be a bJetorical apprfOaChto that version. Because we do 'not agree With
these men in all areas of their thought we ought Dot cut off listening to them hi such important
fields of concern for the sv8llooel1cal church today any more than we would take out of our
library all of the boo!(S with whose authors we disagree or refuse to handle in our bookstore
materials not always sympathetic to Bethel's point of view. As a matter of fact. one of the
finest places for dedicnted Chrlatmn young people to come in oonw,et with IDl:m and boolm lUte
these is on & Cflmpus where m.lert and oO.'.. . nm.ltted GvangeHc::d teachers \Can help to bulwarlt
their faitll while at the aame time franldy face opposing points of viewo However. I have heard
both of the addresoos Dr. Weigl~ Jmd Dr. King have boon invited to give and have felt that
they would btl appropriate and well rGCiBivtid ill any of. ow: BaiXist General Conference eburcoos.
"Dr. Wenipr bas not contacted Bethel dirWJ.y regarding the purposes and setting of the
convocation schedule. 1 only whlh that hG had written to me personally instead of extracting
these two minor activities out of the whol«i year's schedule to play them up as mddenoos of
apostasy at Bethel. If he ht1.d MkOO for a picture of the total program. he would bave !evnGCi

"We are astounded t.o learn that Bethel College and Seminary in St. Paul , the sole
educational institution of the Baptist General COJG.feI'ence (Swedish). would schedu.le Dr. Martin
Luther King on December 1 and then Dr. Luther A. Weigle as speaker on J3.l'1Ua1"Y 12 , IS61.
Dr. Weigle was chai:rman of the HSV transiation committee as weH as a form.er president of
the liberal Federal Council of Chu.rches in 1942. Dr. King , a brilliant Negro , is not only
regarded as one of the 1110St liberal graduates of Crozer Seminary, but one who has lent his
name and influence to communist front c~.uses. Dr. Weigle is identified with the following
pro- communist fronts . a.ccording to the ACCC folder , 'How Red is the Nee?'; Committee on
Willitarism in Educatiori; Coordinating Committee to Lift the Spanish Embargo; National
Religion and Labor Foundation; North American Committee to Aid Spanish Democracy; Slgner
of 'Wodel Tomorrow' poll; War Resister!s Leagu.e. 'l'ne pledl.ge for enrollm.ent in the Resister's
League: 11 declare it to 00 my intention never to. t81{e part in ""vaT, offensive or defensive,
international or civil , whether it be by baaring arms, m£k~ng; or handling m\,mi1tiolls t voluntarily
SUbSCioibing to war loans , or UGmg my labor for the pUll'pose of setting others free for war
service . '
"We wonder ho·w the nmclam.entruists in the Germral Conference will take this evidence
of penetration of pacifism, sociaUsm, modernism, and subversion in their cher ished
institution. Here is braze:i.1 open evidence of a drift in Bethel which many Christian leaders
h.3.ve be~m privately lamenting. Pray for a cancellation of these two speakers."

China has been very smart about looking out for its own interests.
As a developing country China had natural advantages in selling goods made in China and in attracting manufacturing from other countries. A significant advantage was that their currency was valued very "low," meaning there was not a lot of demand for Chinese currency, and they had to offer more of their own currency to acquire the currency of other countries in order to import goods. This low currency rate meant that Chinese resources and labor were inexpensive compared to countries with stronger currencies, so goods made in China cost less.
Over time the Chinese government and Western countries invested in developing China's manufacturing infrastructure, helping to bring people out of poverty and frankly to channel potential conflict pressures into the marketplace. So China was able to put resources into industrial investment instead of military. This was generally good for China and the world.
There came a point where China had developed sufficiently to be competitive in its own right. Natural market forces should have brought balance, but those forces were instead interfered with. The best example of this is the value of their currency. As China developed demand should have increased for its currency, raising its price or making it "stronger." A stronger currency would have caused goods made in China to rise in price, allowing goods made in other countries to compete in the world, and in China. And it would have enabled China to buy more from the rest of the world. This is balance. This is how a true free market can be beneficial for all involved.
But China did not want to lose the advantage that a very cheap currency brings them so they interfered with this market process. They use the proceeds from their manufacturing to buy up currency from competing countries, changing the supply and demand equation and keeping their currency low. If China is willing to pay more to buy you dollars or pounds, why accept less? Meanwhile this pricing advantage brings more sales of their goods, increasing their manufacturing advantage even more.
The result of this currency manipulation is that goods made in China still enjoy a price advantage of up to 40%! And that advantage is increasing. (Which means if China allows its currency to appreciate 5% in the next year, while their advantage also increases by 5%, they start up and end up with a 40% advantage.)
The world is unable to compete with this 40% advantage. At the same time China now controls enough of the world's manufacturing that they are starting to change the terms of deals for companies trying to do business in China.
The Chinese currency problem certainly is not going to go away. It is a huge bubble, that is expanding rapidly, The sooner this is dealt with the better.

IT Solutions for Transportation Agencies
Transportation agencies are looking to the future — collecting, processing and analyzing data to create smarter cities. But at the same time, they're struggling to maintain their aging data centers and legacy applications, while addressing security and compliance demands.
To address these concerns and reduce IT capital expenditures, transportation agencies are turning to managed cloud solutions. In a managed cloud, you can still run the applications you've come to rely on — while we take care of creating and managing the secure and compliant environment.

Grab A Gmail Invitation From iSnoop
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet,
In an effort to reduce the amount of emails I receive per day asking for a Gmail invitation from about 300 to 295, I urge anyone that doesn't seem to have a friend on the Internet (since it seems that everyone I know uses Gmail) that can simply send them an invitation to check out the iSnoop Gmail Spooler. Just head on over there and put in your email address. You can expect a nice, fresh Gmail invitation arrive in your Inbox shortly. If it doesn't come, try it again. Just don't email me asking why.
(Thanks, illwon!)

Interview With PrizeCube Founders Farooq Mitha and Joseph Abed
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Features,
PrizeCube is one of the main companies that started the incentive site movement on the Internet. While many have remained skeptical, thousands of people have received free iPods, computers, and other expensive electronics - at no cost - through companies like PrizeCube. We were able to chat with the founders of this company to get some insight:
Could you start out by giving us a rundown of PrizeCube along with what your positions are?
PrizeCube.com is a free gift website, that gives our users free quality electronics and is particularly known for giving free video game consoles. All users have to do is complete an offer with one of our affiliate companies and refer a few friends to do the same. It is a way for users to get quality electronics that they want for very little time, effort and money. I, Farooq Mitha and Joseph Abed are the founders of PrizeCube.
When did you decide to start PrizeCube?
We decided to start PrizeCube around October of 2004. We saw that many of these free sites existed and that many of them were illegitimate and were not shipping products to their users. We felt that we could start a site and build a solid reputation around it by shipping products and having a forum where people could discuss the products they received as well as post pictures of their prizes.

Next Gen Games Pack Big Price Tags
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games,
During Sony's annual retailer gathering Destination Playstation, Sega announced that the price of their video games for next generation consoles will most likely start at $59.99. They went on to speculate that EA Sports games could start at a bank-breaking $69.99. That's roughly a $10-$30 price increase from the current pricing scheme. However, if the games are worth it, gamers are sure to cough up the dough – especially when NFL games are EA exclusive. We can probably expect to see something similar to the Platinum Hits category Xbox currently employs to help entice more game sales.

MagnaChip Camera Pill Technology
Posted by Categories: Cameras,
South Korean semiconductor manufacturer MagnaChip has developed an image sensor for the pill sized cameras doctors are beginning to use to photograph a patients entire intestinal track. The camera is swallowed and tracks its path through the intestine while taking up to 50,000 pictures. Thankfully for photo processors, these images are transferred to a hard drive worn as a belt while the pill makes its journey. The MagnaChip will help in early detection of diseases, such as cancer, during its eight-hour journey through the roller coaster of your bowels.

Anyway, you do know Newsbin runs fine in Linux through wine, right? You're allowed to have up to 3 installs with your key, so it's totally legit and keeps the Newsbin boys happy.
you know the only pay linux program that does well that i know of is nero linux. i see alot of people using that.
I think it depends on the effort it takes to compile newsbinpro for Linux if it is worth it.

WELCOME TO SUNGROW SEEDS! http://members.aol.com/sungrow/index.html/welcome.htm SunGrow Seed Central Come and visit SunGrow seed catalog. If you have never done business with SunGrow Seed in the past, you are in for a pleasant surprise! Our commitment to service is second to none and our seed selection is unmatched in the industry. SunGrow is a family owned and operated business whose primary business is importing rare, exotic seeds from around the world. Below we have listed a few reasons that distinguish us in the seed business. OUR SEEDS. Our seeds are very carefully selected and go through a rigorous set of quality control and germination trials. The seeds are not raised by SunGrow they are purchased form selected, well established and proven seed collectors from around the world. We personally test every bulk batch of seeds we purchase. OUR SELECTION OF SEEDS. We go to great lengths to offer as wide a variety of seeds as can be found anywhere. We are also very careful to select varieties that the average gardener or house plant lover can grow. Also, we make sure that at least 95% of our selections can be container grown. So no matter how cold it gets where you live, you no longer have an excuse not to try our wonderful seeds. OUR SEED PACKETS. Our seed packets are probably the best in the business. In order to offer the satisfaction guarantee we do, we have to make sure our seeds arrive safely. We package our seeds in air-tight, waterproof, recloseable plastic zip-lock pouches. This is not economical, in fact it is about the most expensive way of packaging seeds, but the extremely high rate of success our customers have with our seeds seem to make it a bargain. OUR PLAIN, SIMPLE B&W CATALOG. What in the world could be so great about a few pages of print copied at a Web Press printer and then stapled together? How about a savings of about seventy-five cents a seed packet? That is about what we save over the cost of printing expensive, full color catalogs. This enables us to keep our seeds as low as we do. We believe our products will speak for themselves, no fancy advertising needed. OUR SEED LABELS. Again, no fancy labels or pictures (we figure you'll be seeing the real thing soon enough) , instead we load our labels with helpful information. Information such as Common Name, Botanical Name, the proper depth for planting the seed, the proper soil for the plant, the height of the mature plant, amount of water needed, amount of sunlight needed, classification as to perennial/annual, germination time normally required, zone information (when available), and any special requirements that may needed to help the seeds germinate. We also tell you if this species can be raised in containers inside in cold climates. OUR SEED COUNT. Why give a seed count for each variety? Some of the varieties we offer are very expensive for us to purchase or they may be in short supply. In order for us to make our packets available at a reasonable price to you, we sometimes have to send a small number of seeds per packet. We feel that you should know up front what you are going to receive, so we list our seed count in our catalogs. OUR SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. If a product is not good enough to have a satisfaction guarantee, it should not be offered to the public, enough said. If you are unhappy with a packet of seeds purchased from SunGrow Seed, simply write us and we will cheerfully replace the seeds. Thank You. Sincerely, SunGrow Seed

Cool Bourbon: DiCaprio for Suntory's Jim Beam
From tomorrow (February 16th), Suntory will launch a new campaign to promote their Jim Beam under the banner "Cool Bourbon", a new way of drinking bourbon (i.e. with lots of ice). As part of this, they will also start airing a new commercial featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, a short 15-second version of which you can see on the Suntory website. It'll be interesting to see how the Japanese drinking populace will react to this new, "cool" bourbon.

I am trying to convince my father that Japanese whiskey is no longer so terrible. I admit, it is 99.9% because if I can't give him alcohol, I have no idea what to give him for x-mas/bdays. He hates sake.
Anyways, while I would love to go to a bar and try all of these, I don't drink. Ever, at all. This means I have no ability to appreciate whiskey, the smell is so strong... suffice it to say, I can't appreciate it the way it deserves.
My dad's favorite is Talisker, any age, for the smoky/peaty flavor. Are there any whiskeys that compare in Japan? Or, am I SOL on another gifting front?
If it helps at all, he usually drank about a finger after dinner when we had family movie night, now, maybe once a week after dinner?
Thanks for any help you can provide, I truly appreciate it.

Thanks for your comment. My recommendation would be to give your dad a Hakushu Heavily Peated. It really is in a category of its own. I'm sure he'd enjoy that.
- February 18, 2013 at 3:27 PM
Looks like this will be an easy find too, thankfully. I'll grab it in Tokyo on my way home next x-mas. Best part is, I don't have to wrap it, thank you department stores!
Ahem, anyways, thanks for the advice. I don't suppose there are any places in Tokyo that sell minis/samples of this? I have seen a mini or two at Tokyu Hands, but that is about it.
- February 18, 2013 at 7:22 PM

No, there are no minis of this. You'll have to buy on faith!

This committee shall provide advice to the treasurer on investment strategies and goals.
The Treasurer of the University is authorized to designate qualified employees of the treasurer's office who can buy, sell, and transfer certificates of stock, bonds, and approved funds, and/or other similar financial instruments held in the name of the Regents of the University of Colorado, the University of Colorado, or any of the divisions thereof in order to efficiently manage and invest the university's financial assets.
