Yahoo Pointing Finger At Microsoft For Search Revenue Shortfall

Yahoo had another lousy quarter. Revenues were down 6 percent, profits were down 28 percent. What's more, it's search partnership with Microsoft isn't going so great. And the finger pointing is starting. In a very detailed analysis, Danny Sullivan of SearchEngine Land charts the decline of Yahoo's search revenues over the past two years. What he calls "net search revenues" (the money Yahoo gets to keep after paying off partners) is down 35 percent from a peak of $551 million two years ago to $357 million.

The 'Clash' at Marathon Shaped Greece, And The West

The First Clash: The Miraculous Greek Victory At Marathon And Its Impact On Western Civilization
By James Lacey
Hardcover, 272 pages
Bantam
List price: $26

Prologue

THE MOMENT OF BATTLE

At the dawn of the fifth century BC, Persia stood triumphant. For over five decades, her warriors had crushed all who opposed them. In that time, no city had ever withstood a Persian siege, and all the armies of the known world's most powerful civilizations had met their ruin trying to halt Persia's inexorable march of conquest. On their near invincible warriors, Persian kings built the world's first global empire, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to India, destroying, in the process, a dozen smaller empires and absorbing the people of a hundred races.

In 490 BC, the mighty Persian king Darius looked west, toward two insignificant Greek city-states that had insulted his empire. Tiny Sparta had sent emissaries to the Persian capital warning the "Great King" to cease his attacks on the Greek cities in Asia; more insulting, Athens had summoned the audacity to send troops onto Persian soil and to burn a Persian city, Sardis, before scurrying home to safety. Tiring of the insults, King Darius sent emissaries to Athens and Sparta demanding the gifts of submission ? earth and water. In answer, the Spartans threw the king's messengers into a well and told them to help themselves to all the earth and water they desired, while the Athenians simply put the messengers to the sword.

Enraged, Darius ordered his army to destroy Athens and to enslave the survivors. However, trouble within the empire forced Darius to delay retribution. Eight years after Athens had reduced Sardis to ashes, the dreaded Persian army finally arrived in Greece and mustered its strength on the Plain of Marathon, a scant two dozen miles from Athens. For nine days, ten thousand Athenian hoplites watched the Persian army prepare for battle and wondered how they would be able to resist an army of professional warriors three times their number. Some prayed for the gods to intervene, while others hoped the Persians would delay just a day or two longer. For every Athenian present at Marathon knew that the Spartan army, boasting the best warriors in the world, was marching hard to their aid.

On September 12, 490 BC, the waiting ended. The Persians were moving, and Athens, in mortal danger, could wait no longer. Spartans or no Spartans, Athenian commanders prepared to attack. Before dawn, ten thousand hoplites formed up in columns and waited for the trumpets to signal the order to advance. Eight men deep on the flanks and four deep in the center, the phalanx of bristling spear points and blazing shields began its slow, inexorable march toward the enemy. At first, the Persians could not believe their eyes and wondered how such a meager force could ever hope to break their lines. Some thought it was just a demonstration and would be followed by a hasty retreat. Others simply thought the Greeks mad.

The Athenian hoplites began to pick up the pace, first to a fast walk and then to a trot. The hoplites crushed together, shoulder to shoulder and shield to shield, as each tried to cover as much of his exposed right side behind his neighbor's shield as possible. Dread and fear melted away now that the army was advancing. Men who had soiled themselves in the line drew strength from the surging men surrounding them. At six hundred yards' distance, the mass of men began to scream their fierce and nerve-shattering battle cry: Alleeee!

Hastily, the Persian commanders aligned their troops. Men holding wicker shields went to the front as thousands of archers arrayed themselves behind them. The Persian army showed no panic. They were professional soldiers, victors of a hundred bloody battles. In another moment, the archers would release tens of thousands of deadly bolts into the sky. The spearmen would wait for the arrows to decimate their foe and then advance to slaughter the shattered remnant.

But the Persians had never before faced an army like this one. Athenian hoplites learned the art of war against other hoplites, and their kind of war was not decided by a hail of arrows. It was settled by a collision of wooden shields and deadly iron-tipped spears, wielded by heavily armored men. It was a horrible and terrifying confrontation of pushing, screaming, half-crazed men who gouged, stabbed, and kicked at their opponents until one side could bear the agony no longer and broke. The victors would then launch a murderous pursuit of their defeated foes as the bloodlust propelled them forward.

This was the kind of war charging down on the Persians, and it arrived at almost incomprehensible speed, for at two hundred yards' distance the Athenian trot became a sprint. Finally, the Persian archers let fly, but to no effect. Never having seen such a rapid advance, they mistimed their shots and most of the arrows flew harmlessly over the charging hoplites. Hastily, the archers reloaded and the shield bearers uneasily began inching backward as ten thousand metal-encased killers were almost upon them.

In a shuddering instant, hoplites smashed into the lightly protected Persians and convulsed their defensive line. Then the killing began.

Ushkowitz Planning Charitable Birthday

2 hours ago | WENN | See recent WENN news ?

Glee star Jenna Ushkowitz will forgo gifts during her upcoming birthday celebrations as she is asking for charity donations instead of presents.

The actress is a keen supporter of Oceana, an organisation which aims to help ocean conservation, especially in the aftermath of last year's Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

Ushkowitz is set to turn 25 next week, and to mark her birthday she wants her friends, family and fans to donate $25 (?15.60) to Oceana.

In a video message, Ushkowitz says, "My 25th birthday is coming up on April 28th and I was very inspired by Paul Rudd's choice to have his friends and family and everyone he knows to donate to a charity close to his heart.

"I'm asking you guys to help me celebrate my 25th birthday by donating to Oceana. I'm asking everyone I know to donate $25, the age I'm turning, or whatever you can give, to this wonderful non-profit organisation that is helping our marine life and our oceans for our future.

"We are celebrating the year anniversary of the Bp oil spill. Let's make a difference and make sure nothing like that happens (again)."

Actor Paul Rudd raised money for the American Cancer Society for his birthday earlier this month.

Human-Curated Search Engine Blekko Adds Facebook Comments To Its Search Results

Ever since its launch in November 2010, Blekko has been on a mission to eliminate spam and content farms from search results. The human-curated search engine, which is also known both for using actual mammals to edit search results and for its employ of slashtags for easy categorization, announced in March that it had banned over 1 million spammy domain names from its results. Using a new algorithm it calls "AdSpam", Blekko investigates the quality of a doman's content, as well as the type of ads it includes, to identify those of the lowest quality. Those that don't pass muster get the boot -- which should be music to any searcher's ears.

What Is CarbonCopyPro Elite?

For those of you who are looking to start an online or home based business, then you may or may not have heard about CarbonCopyPro and ProElite. This review will give you all the facts you need to make an educated decision if the CarbonCopyPro system is right for you or not.

To help you understand ProElite in 2011, let's look at the companies history beginning in October 2007. CCpro was founded by Jay Kubassek after discovering that most people either don't enjoy the sales process in the home based business context aren't very good at it. That said, Kubassek decided to create an automated marketing platform that would allow his personal team members to copy his story y using his unique sales pages, videos, and audios

That was 2007, and his system was then known as CarbonCopy marketing. Just 2 years later, CCPro CEO Kubassek then announced the next generation of Pro called CarbonCopyPro. By then he and co-creator Alan Moore had put many enhancements into the system creating an extremely robust marketing machine with 15 landing pages targeteing up to 5 unique marketi niches including the Multi Level Marketing, Franchise, and home business opportunity sectors to name a few.

Jay Kubbassek then announced his mission to create 100 millionaires by the year 2012 and as of 2010 had created a dozen. Pro has enjoyed significant success and sustainability over the past nearly 4 years by marketing the Wealth Masters International product line. However, a split occurred in late 20101 that opened up an opportunity for Kubassek and Carbon Copy to evolve into the next generation called CarbonCopyPro Elite.

ProElite and their sister organization (also owned and operated by Kubassek and Pro) is called ProU, the product line behind the front end marketing system offering financial education and information formerly reserved for the financial elite through a series of products and instructors like David Bach, ten time national best seller and former Oprah Winfrey guest. Other instructors in the ProU curriculum include Simon Sinek, author of 'Start With Why', Brian Parsely, Dr. Marshall Goldsmith and more.

ProElite serves 2 primary purposes:

1) As a front end sales and marketing platform through which a series of filters (including a fully refundable paid application) all take potential future business owners and prospects through a series of prequalification steps to ensure the ProELite business owner spends time with people most commited to success.

2) The system offers up a top tier direct sales business model and accompanying products through the ProU memberships. ProU has 4 primary products namely: ProU Silver, Gold, Platinum and Black memberships. The products include both physical products as well as educational conferences held throughout the year to educate their members and customers in a variety of areas such as financial education, personal development, and long term business building strategies.

Chinese Truck Drivers Block Road Over Gas Prices

Eugene Hoshiko/AP

Trucks left parked on a road near a Shanghai port Friday. Truck drivers protested for a third day over rising fuel costs and fees, disrupting the flow of goods.

Thousands of truck drivers in the Chinese city of Shanghai staged a third day of protest Friday over rising fuel prices they say are crippling their businesses. Truck drivers blockaded part of the city's port ? China's busiest ? disrupting the flow of goods.

The protests that began on Wednesday are the latest sign of rising public anger over surging inflation that the country's leaders have failed to tame. They come amid a government crackdown on intellectual and political dissent of any sort.

The international community has focused on the continued detention of well-known Chinese artist Ai Weiwei and other political activists. But for the ordinary people of China, there are more mundane concerns than political reform.

Near one of Shanghai's main port areas, where the Yangtze River meets the sea, groups of truck drivers milled around Friday near a long line of trucks parked bumper to bumper and side by side. They were unafraid to speak, though unwilling to give their names for fear of reprisals.

They can't even afford to eat because the price of gasoline is now so high, one man says, looking warily over his shoulder.

China has raised fuel prices several times in the past year, blaming the rising cost of crude oil. This month gasoline and diesel prices hit a record high after the government raised them by as much as 5 percent. The drivers are also angered at new fees introduced by warehouse operators.

Another man says the police have responded with violence ? beating up many truckers. One of his friends was beaten and another arrested, he says.

The man claims that some 20,000 truckers have gone on strike. It's a number that is hard to confirm. The likelier number of about 2,000 protesters is still a major event in China.

A woman interrupts to urge that news of the truckers' protest be spread far and wide, so that the government pays attention. That's something that has already been happening on the Internet.

China has banned foreign microblogging sites that it cannot control, such as Twitter, but news of the recent strikes in Shanghai leaked out through the Chinese equivalents of Twitter, known as Weibo and used by many urban Chinese. Word about the strikes initially appeared there, before being deleted by the authorities.

"The microblogs [have offered] an alternative platform for people to communicate," says Ying Chan, a professor of journalism at Hong Kong University. She says the government has decided it cannot stop such new platforms developing, and so must try to channel and control them.

"I think they are very concerned," she says. "That's why the Weibos are monitored very closely by various methods."

Chan says it is not the political issues that are the most threatening to the government, but bread-and-butter economic issues.

"People are concerned with their basic livelihood issues," she says. "Inflation's [a] real issue, so people react."

Back near the docks, the drivers say they have heard that truckers at other ports around the country are striking too. They deny they are in contact with drivers elsewhere.

That is a huge concern for the government ? that the new forms of communication could cause disenfranchised elements of society across the country to link together, and form some kind of organized opposition.

Book Chick City: 21 Days of Young Adult Fiction - BOOK REVIEW ...


I really enjoyed 'Hex Hall', the first book in this series, so was really looking forward to 'Raising Demons', known as 'Demonglass' in the US. (On a personal note I'm curious as to why the two different titles for the UK and US?). The story pretty much picks up not far along from where the first one left us. Sophie is still reeling from her discovery that she is not in fact a witch, but a demon and the boy she had desperately fallen for was in fact a spy for an agency that are intent on killing her.

The setting of the book moves to the UK as Sophie finally meets and goes to stay with her powerful father, striking a deal to take best friend Jenna with her. Being English, I always find different countries/author's perceptions of what life is like here interesting, thankfully other than a few large words added to Sophie's father's vocabulary the book didn't slip into any awful clich?s. And I loved the setting of the large, beautiful, British mansion.

On her arrival Sophie meets Daisy and Nick and immediately knows that they are demons too. But demons can only be made and not born, and the spell to make one is meant to have been lost years ago, which leaves many concerning questions.

As the story is such an easy read you could easily dismiss it as perhaps slightly and predictable. But it really isn't. There were a couple of plot turns that I did not see coming in the slightest. It was well written and perfectly thrilling.

Jenna had to be one of my favourite characters of the story, I actually would have loved to see more of her. How can you not love a vampire with an obsession for all things pink? Do you think if I ask nicely enough she might get a spin off?

I thoroughly enjoyed 'Hex Hall' for its wit, and while this book is definitely still funny, Sophie has some fab lines, the tone itself is darker and more intense in 'Raising Demons'. The pace is fast and it's an addictive read.

There seems to be a real trend in young adult books for love triangles. I know we could blame 'Twilight', but I loved it, so I shall refrain. And while we didn't see one in 'Hex Hall' this changed in 'Raising Demons'. I actually think that the story would have been better without one. The forbidden love angst was plenty to keep my on the edge of my seat, without throwing in another potential love interest. But while it made me frown a little, it didn't detract from my enjoyment.

The book had a bit of a killer ending, if you loathe cliffhangers, you might want to wait until book three is released.

VERDICT:

A fab second instalment to the series, which I personally think was slightly better than the first. But perhaps because I enjoyed the slightly more sinister tone. I can't wait to see where the next book takes us.

Pakistan Frees All But 1 Accused In Gang Rape

Pakistan's Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of five of the six men accused of gang-raping Mukhtar Mai, seen here at a shelter in the southern Punjab village  of Meerwala in February.

Pakistan's Supreme Court upheld the acquittal of five of the six men accused of gang-raping Mukhtar Mai, seen here at a shelter in the southern Punjab village of Meerwala in February.

Pakistan's Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the acquittal of five of the six men accused in the gang rape of Mukhtar Mai. The Pakistani woman refused to remain silent about the crime committed in 2002 and won international acclaim for her courage.

It was the first time in conservative Pakistan that a woman had gone public about rape.

The Supreme Court's acquittal stunned the victim, who also goes by Mukhtar Bibi. She had successfully challenged her attackers in court, and her ensuing legal struggle became a symbol of hope for oppressed and violated women.

The three-member bench of Pakistan's Supreme Court freed all but one of the six men. Abdul Khaliq will continue to serve a life term, which in Pakistani practice would likely be no more than 25 years.

The court's ruling came five years after a lower court found that Mai had been raped by a half-dozen men. "I'm very sad," she said from her home in the southern Punjab village of Meerwala. "Why was I made to wait five years if this was the decision to be given?"

Mai has always maintained that the elders of her village had ordered the rape. She says it was punishment for actions attributed to her younger brother. The 12-year-old was accused of having illicit relations with a woman from a rival tribe. But the boy himself had been molested, and the allegations against him were found to be part of a cover-up.

In a lengthy ruling, the Supreme Court said Thursday that the prosecution's evidence against the accused rapists "is not confidence inspiring, thus the benefit must go to the accused." It noted there were no DNA or semen tests conducted.

Mai said the court ignored an abundance of evidence.

"The entire area knows that I was raped. The entire area provided witnesses ... and told the media. Around 50 to 100 people were gathered there," she said. "Even one of the elders confessed to hearing me cry and shout for them to stop. Why does the court not take all that into account?"

Anis Haroon, who chairs the National Commission on the Status of Women, said "through connivance evidence can be destroyed."

Human-rights activist Farzana Bari, a gender studies professor, said that in cases such as this, which involve influential villagers, witnesses could be dissuaded from testifying.

"So as a result of that, the people from that area who witnessed this crime were not willing to come and give evidence in the court, except people from [the victim's] own family," Bari says, "and obviously the court won't take those evidences seriously."

Haroon notes that in only 5 percent of cases involving crimes against Pakistani women are convictions ever obtained.

"It reflects on this whole system," she said. "It is encouraging for the perpetrators who see how they can go scot-free. That is one reason why violence against women is increasing manifold. It's multiplying."

Ali Dayan Hasan of Human Rights Watch said Pakistan's judiciary had been ushering in a new era of human-rights advocacy. With this ruling, he said, it took a step backward and essentially endorsed vigilante justice.

"Village elders got together and thought it was a good idea that this dispute between these two subtribes would be settled by handing this woman over. And the message the court sent was: It doesn't matter!"

Regarding evidence, Hasan added that the Supreme Court does not hesitate to summon police and other state functionaries in its ongoing power struggle with the government of President Asif Ali Zardari.

Hasan said a male chauvinistic legal system continues to discriminate against Pakistani women. He said the Federal Shariat Court seeks to roll back the 2006 Protection of Women Act on the grounds that it conflicts with ordinances that govern such things as adultery and rape. The Shariah judges want to restore provisions that require women who have been raped to produce four witnesses, and to allow police to arrest a woman on a charge of adultery based on the fact she filed a report of rape.

Mai, who established a women's aid group and several schools in her village, said with the accused rapists going free, she is worried for her safety and is not inclined to appeal.

She's no longer putting her faith in the criminal justice system. "Women the world over should not lose courage. God is just and he will dispense justice," Mai said.

Thunderbolted, Sandy Bridged MacBook Airs in June?

Newer! Faster! Sandier!

(Credit: Apple)

Right now you can have an ultra-portable MacBook or one with up-to-date guts, but you can't have both. But that's apparently changing, if rumors are to be believed.

The latest from parts suppliers in Asia indicates that Apple is set to begin mass production of Thunderbolt- and Sandy Bridge- (with Intel Graphics, natch) equipped MacBook Airs late next month, to debut on sales floors in June (which corroborates reports we made back in February).

The news comes from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, from Concord Securities, who gave his take on the Air production to AppleInsider. In addition to being fairly consistently in-line with the rumors department, a summer refresh of the Air makes sense: Its low price point and lightweight design make it ideal for students, and June is around the start of back-to-school shopping. The Air is small, but we could see Apple sacrificing a USB port to make room for Thunderbolt, because with an adapter it can do the job of both.

Kou didn't offer any information on pricing, but it would make sense if Apple kept the pricing and product matrix similar to the one the Air enjoys now, starting at $1,000 for the base 11-inch model and sliding up to $1,600 for a fully loaded 13-inch version.

Other stats, such as storage capacity and graphics, were also not volunteered, but we're guessing slight bumps in both as SSD drive prices have been dropping.

What is Corporate Fitness and Corporate Health? | Health

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

What is Corporate Fitness and Corporate Health?

Corporate Fitness means the service a health and fitness company provides to the staff of a corporate entity, and is usually group fitness like; boot camp, boxing, kickboxing, or any other type of exercise that is safe and acceptable for a corporate environment. All participants are from one and the same work place and sometimes corporate fitness describes one on one Personal Training. However, due to the savings when working in a group environment Group Fitness is much more popular.

?

Corporate Health usually includes Corporate Fitness plus other services that improve the general well-being and health of the staff, such as; health assessments, team building, nutritional advice and more, it is a program that approaches the health and well-being of the staff as a whole and not just the fitness part of it.

?

The benefits of implementing a corporate wellness program for a Corporate entity is plentiful, but some of the benefits are;

improved corporate image

financial benefits for the company

health benefits for the staff

?

To be more detailed, let?s take the financial benefits for a company, what are they? A corporate Health Program improves staff productivity because the staff is; more alert, staff works better together due to team building exercises, reduced absenteeism and sick leave, increased motivation, increased energy levels, reduction in smoking, just to name a few.

?

The benefits for the staff are just as great, if not greater, let?s name a few; reduced blood pressure, reduced cholesterol levels, reduced obesity, better posture, decreased stress levels, reduced coronary problems, and each and everyone of those on it?s own is worth implementing or participating in a Corporate Health Program as it could mean that you are around for much longer.

?

And last but not least, the biggest benefit of corporate fitness or health program is reduced staff turn over, staff turn over is a major cost to a company, it is estimated that costs approximately 40% of the first years salary of the employee.

?

Furthermore a report by the World Health Organisation has identified physical inactivity as ?a global public health problem?. It affects the quality of life of not only individuals and their families but also results in a national loss of income and rapidly increasing costs for employers.

The World Economic Forum in 2008 noted that 60% of deaths worldwide in 2005 could be attributed to non-communicable diseases including:

heart disease

stroke

cancer

chronic respiratory diseases

diabetes

This figure was projected to increase to 77% by 2015. The report stated, ?There is strong scientific evidence that healthy diet and adequate physical activity ? play an important role in the prevention of these diseases. Furthermore ? approximately 80% of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and 40% of cancers can be prevented??

Most people spend a significant proportion of their time at work so it is an ideal place to promote increased physical fitness and it also provides an opportunity for employees to encourage each other to make positive lifestyle changes.

Now nearly nearing the year 2011 and with numbers still increasing it is time to act, not only to reap the financial benefits, but more for the health benefits and general improvement of life. It is time to act, contact a company in your area now, all you have to do is go to Google and type in ?Corporate Health [plus the area you operate in]? for example ?Corporate Health Brisbane? or ?Corporate Fitness Brisbane? and hundreds of options should pop up for you. In recent years Boot Camps have become very popular with Corporate Fitness, to find a boot camp near you, just go to Google and type ?Corporate Boot Camp Brisbane? replace Brisbane with your own location.

'Bang Bang Club' Stars Talk Meeting Their Real-Life Inspirations

'It was very tough for them,' Taylor Kitsch says of photojournalists reliving their pasts.
By Kara Warner

New film "The Bang Bang Club" revolves around the real-life story of four combat photographers — Greg Marinovich, Joao Silva, Kevin Carter and Ken Oosterbroek — who risked their lives to capture the brutality and violence around the first free elections in post-apartheid South Africa in the early '90s.

Taylor Kitsch and Ryan Philippe star as two of the photographers, along with Malin Akerman as Robin Comley, their conflicted newspaper photo editor. When MTV News caught up with Kitsch and Akerman recently, we discussed the topical nature of the film, as well as the emotional aspect involved in meeting the real-life inspirations for the characters they portrayed.

"When I first met Greg Marinovich, that was a big one for me, and Joao — obviously playing someone that has taken their own life, it hurts them a lot too," Kitsch explained of portraying Carter. "It wasn't that long ago, and obviously these guys went through a lot more than what I have with my best friends. Asking them to talk about that was very hard for them. It turned into quite — it was very tough for them."

Akerman's meeting with the woman who inspired her character was equally emotionally charged.

"I was lucky to have met Robin Comley," she said. "She's a fantastic woman, and she actually came to set one day — she tried coming to set and saw some of the characters in costume, and she just lost it. She couldn't even deal. Like Taylor said, these people, it was like family, so for them to go through this and relive it, I was actually surprised that Greg and Joao were on set pretty much every day reliving everything."

Norio Ohga, former Sony chairman and multimedia pioneer, dies at 81

There's more sad news out of Japan this morning, we're afraid -- Sony is reporting that former chairman Norio Ohga passed away in Tokyo yesterday from multiple organ failure. He was 81. You may not personally remember a Sony under his reign -- Ohga helmed the company from 1982 to 2003 after decades of service in product planning -- but Norio Ohga was arguably the man responsible for turning Sony from a high-profile analog electronics manufacturer into a digital multimedia conglomerate. He helmed the deals that formed Sony Music, paved the way for Sony Pictures and established the very same Sony Computer Entertainment that would birth the PlayStation, and it was he who pushed the optical compact disc standard that all but replaced the magnetic cassettes and diskettes that held portable media. Without him, DVDs and Blu-rays might have fallen by the wayside, and that's another thought that brings tears to our eyes. You'll find Ohga's official obituary after the break.

Personalized Reunion Favors - A Moment Not To Be Forgotten

Reunions are special and meaningful occasions in which people reunite with people - or perhaps, important people - in our lives that we never get to meet in ages. Reunions are also meaningful in a way when bonds are reattached to each other. These factors make reunions an important occasion that one will definitely want to remember for the rest of his/her life. Especially when you are the organizer for a reunion party, you will definitely hope that your guests or anyone involve will put the occasion deep in their hearts and minds. Of course, the atmosphere and theme you create for your reunion party plays a really important role in making a reunion party memorable, but the giveaways you provide to the guests are also important in playing the same role. This is because memories may fade, but the material you can see and hold will never disappear.

There are many types of reunions. But the common reunions nowadays would be family reunions and class reunions. For family reunions, one ideal personalized reunion favor would be coffee mugs. Coffee mugs nowadays have slowly evolved to a must-have in one's daily life. This is due to the rapid pace of the society in which individuals have to be well-prepared with themselves to allow themselves in adapting to the speed of the society. Thus, coffee mugs become an important equipment for individuals to constantly refresh themselves. The coffee mugs being given to every single family member in the reunion party can be customized according to the preference of the individuals. You can even have every family member's name printed on the mug. Thus, all the family member will have a similarity with each other and whenever they drink from the coffee mug, they will eventually remind themselves of the other family members who also possess the same coffee mug as they have.

Another ideal personalized reunion favor for a family reunion would be photo album. For this, the photo album will be customized and inserted with the pictures of every single family member. The cover and the pages of the photo album can be personalized base on the preference of the family members. You can even include their names under their pictures in the photo album. Besides, if the photo album is well-designed, everyone can eventually use the photo album as part of the decoration in their houses.

Another common reunion part we have is class reunion. For this, the suggested personalized reunion favor would be personalized note books. The cover and pages of the notebook can be customized base on the theme the class used to have when they were still in the same class. Besides, in order to include a personalization element in the gift, you can also print the name of the recipient on the cover of the book, along with images that contribute to the meaning of the gift. The notebook will become a useful item for the recipient to be used in the future. Besides, it also helps in the individuals' preparation for anything.

Toshiba Regza AT300 -- the 10.1 inch tablet gets a name, Japan release info

Toshiba Regza

Toshiba has finally unveiled their 10.1 inch Honeycomb tablet, dubbed the Toshiba Regza AT300 -- at least in Japan.  It's the same delicious bit of hardware we got to play with at CES, and have seen plastered all over Newegg.com as the Toshiba "Ant".  The tablet packs a Tegra 2 and a full 1 GB of RAM under the hood, has both full-size and mini USB ports, HDMI out, and now we learn it will integrate with Toshiba's other Regza products, like Televisions and Blu-ray players.

The Regza AT300 is scheduled for a June release in Japan, checking in at 60,000 Yen -- or about $720.  That's a bit higher than the previous pricing of $449 - $579 we've seen, but we can't base US pricing on the Japanese model.  No word on when to expect this in the west, but we certainly hope it isn't too far off.  Hit the break to see our hands-on.  [Toshiba (Japanese) via Mobile Burn]
