7 Cheap Stocks Experts Love. The eclectic choices range from a food giant to a battered bond insurer. Editor's note: Since the original publication of this article, J. Crew, one of our seven experts' top picks, has entered into a buyout agreement with two private-equity firms, TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners, for $3 billion, or $43.50 a share -- about 28% above the closing price of $34 when we went to press. Over the past year, stocks rose, fell and spent a great deal of time going sideways. After all was said and done, the net result was a respectable, double-digit gain. And that, naturally, raises the question of where you can find value in this market. We asked seven leading fund managers to identify stocks that they believe still trade at alluringly cheap prices. They came up with seven very different ideas.

Even if you're religious about backing up important data, I'll wager you never thought to back up all your drivers.

That's a worrisome oversight. After all, if your system ever suffers a major meltdown, you'll need mouse, printer, video, and other drivers to get everything up and running again. And take it from me: driver discs always go missing when you need them the most. Double Driver 4.0 makes fast and easy work of saving all your drivers. I particularly like the choice of output options. Double Driver also lets you print a list of your installed drivers and/or save the list as a text file. What I like best about Double Driver, apart from it being free, is that it's a portable application. Ultimately, this is one of those must-have (and must-use) utilities.

[Physics FAQ] - [Copyright] Updated July 1995 by MCW. Original by Matt Austern. If you look in the Particle Data Book, you will find more than 150 particles listed there. It isn't quite as bad as that, though. . . The (observed) particles are divided into two major classes: the material particles, and the gauge bosons. We'll discuss the gauge bosons farther down. Mesons and baryons both undergo strong interactions. Most of those 150+ particles are mesons and baryons, or, collectively, hadrons. Generation: 1 2 3 U-like: u=0.006/0.311 c=1.50/1.65 t=91-200/91-200 D-like: d=0.010/0.315 s=0.200/0.500 b=5.10/5.10 In the quark model, there are only 12 elementary particles, which appear in three "generations.

" Finally, according to quantum field theory, particles interact by exchanging "gauge bosons," which are also particles. The picture, then, is this: The best reference for information on which particles exist, their masses, etc., is the Particle Data Book. The Particle "Zoo" Display Myths Shattered: How Monitor & HDTV Companies Cook Their. Take everything you think you know about displays and throw it out the window. It's time for a clinic on what display specs really mean—brace yourself for the alarming truth Vision is our most amazing and complex sense, so it’s no surprise that display technology is so amazing and complicated. It’s also no surprise that most consumers don’t have a good understanding of how displays function, or the best way to select them, buy them, use them, and adjust them. Not only are displays getting more complicated and harder to understand, but the competition between manufacturers has gotten so brutal that marketing gimmicks—ploys that exploit the average consumer’s technical ignorance—are playing an increasing role in driving sales.

The goal of this article is to point out and explain some of the most important myths, misconceptions, and misunderstandings about display technology. Much of what you’re going to read is like the classic tale of The Emperor’s New Clothes. When Brightness Isn't. The fate of a generation of workers: Foxconn undercover fully tr. Machine translations are still years or even decades away from perfection, so rather than sending you to an auto-translated page, we now present -- with exclusive permission from Southern Weekend -- a human translation of this damning article on Foxconn by undercover reporter Liu Zhiyi.

(Photo: Southern Weekend) I know of two groups of young people. One group consists of university students like myself, who live in ivory towers and kept company by libraries and lake views. The other group works alongside steel machineries and large containers, all inside a factory of high-precision manufacturing environment. These guys always address their seniors as "laoban" (boss), and call their own colleagues -- regardless of familiarity -- the rude "diaomao" (pubic hair) in loud. After going undercover in Foxconn for 28 days, I came back out. My undercover was part of Southern Weekend's investigation on the then six Foxconn suicides.

The 28-day undercover work made a strong impact on me. Part one. The Yiddish Handbook: 40 Words You Should Know. Sheri Jo Fantastic post! I grew up in a town with many, many Jewish people and Yiddish sayings are 2nd nature to me. However, the town I have lived in for the past 15 years has a very small Jewish population in comparison. Consequently, whenever I use a Yiddish term, the response is either hysterical laughter or the “DAHHH… shmendrik” look. Thanks for a great post!

A dictionary etymology tells us what is known of an English word before it became the word entered in that dictionary.

If the word was created in English, the etymology shows, to whatever extent is not already obvious from the shape of the word, what materials were used to form it. If the word was borrowed into English, the etymology traces the borrowing process backward from the point at which the word entered English to the earliest records of the ancestral language. Where it is relevant, an etymology notes words from other languages that are related ("akin") to the word in the dictionary entry, but that are not in the direct line of borrowing.

How New Words are Formed Borrowing A majority of the words used in English today are of foreign origin.

Google Streetview Static API – Jamie Thompson. It is possible to extract both thumbnails and higher resolution images (tiles) from the Google Streetview service through an unpublished, undocumented API which I will document below. Google have not publicly released this API, but nor have they sought to secure or even obfuscate it in any way.

To me, this is about as open an invitation as it gets. You might have noticed that more often than not, when viewing a location on Google Maps nowadays you get a little Streetview thumbnail linking to the appropriate location on Google Streetview. If you’ve ever wondered if you could get static streetview imaging out Google for your own use then read on. Inspection of the image source reveals something quite surprising: Not exactly cryptic is it.

Each Streetview panorama is uniquely identified by an panoid. If you’re like me, you’ve been looking at the example above and wondering what other output types there are besides ‘thumbnail’. The Anosognosic’s Dilemma: Something’s Wrong but You’ll Never Kn. Existence is elsewhere. — André Breton, “The Surrealist Manifesto” 1. The Juice David Dunning, a Cornell professor of social psychology, was perusing the 1996 World Almanac. In a section called Offbeat News Stories he found a tantalizingly brief account of a series of bank robberies committed in Pittsburgh the previous year. From there, it was an easy matter to track the case to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, specifically to an article by Michael A. Fuoco: At 5 feet 6 inches and about 270 pounds, bank robbery suspect McArthur Wheeler isn’t the type of person who fades into the woodwork.

Wheeler had walked into two Pittsburgh banks and attempted to rob them in broad daylight. In a follow-up article, Fuoco spoke to several Pittsburgh police detectives who had been involved in Wheeler’s arrest. (a) the film was bad; (b) Wheeler hadn’t adjusted the camera correctly; or (c) Wheeler had pointed the camera away from his face at the critical moment when he snapped the photo.[2] ERROL MORRIS: Why not? Boulder Community Computers - Turning Waste Into Opportunity. Stuffed Peppers, Lamb’s Head Soup, Canyons and Condors in Arequi. Seth Kugel for The New York TimesArequipa’s Plaza de Armas.

To a person with a sweet tooth versed in Latin American desserts — by which I mean me — Arequipa, Peru, sounds like a delicious place. From its name comes the word arequipe, which is what Colombians and Venezuelans (though not Peruvians, oddly enough) call their versions of dulce de leche. But the culinary fame of Peru’s second city, where I traveled by bus from Bolivia last Friday night, goes way beyond sweets. The city is more known for dishes like spicy stuffed rocoto peppers, the pork stew they call adobo and a shrimp soup known as chupe de camarones. Arequipa is not just a metropolitan-sized restaurant. For such a great place, I sure had a terrible first night in town.

They were right about the price (59 nuevos soles for a single) and sort of right about the location (two blocks off the plaza). Seth Kugel for The New York TimesThe Casablanca Hostal. Well, there was but one dish for sale: lamb’s head soup. Microsoft Adds OpenStreetMap Layer to Bing Maps. You can now turn on a special layer in Bing Maps that displays maps from OpenStreetMap, Microsoft has announced. OpenStreetMap is an open source mapping project that keeps an editable map of the entire globe. Anyone can make edits to the map — it’s been nicknamed the “Wikipedia of maps.” The open source model has proven especially effective in regions of the developing world where very little solid map data exists, and in areas where highly detailed, editable maps are critical for natural-disaster response efforts, like the recent Haiti earthquake.

Microsoft’s adoption of the open source mapping project follows a similar move by MapQuest, which began adding OSM layers last month. To run layers in Bing Maps, you’ll need the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight and a supported browser. To add OpenStreetMaps to your Bing, go to the App Gallery. You can switch back to any of the other standard views in Bing Maps by clicking on the layer control at the bottom of the map window. See Also: The Mike Wallace Interview.
