It's a number that may make some people feel a little old, but Facebook turned 10 years old on Monday and that has many people marveling over the social media site's persistence in a fast-changing world.
When it began a decade ago, Facebook was limited to college students. When the site opened to the public a few years later, it began attracting a younger crowd -- but now, it seems the users are trending in the other direction.
"It used to just be the teenagers and the college kids back in the day," Tyler Olson, with SMC Pros, told Fox 9 News. "Now today, we see almost an even distribution of users on Facebook -- all the way up to 65-70 years old."
In fact, the number of new Facebook users over the age of 55 was up 80 percent last year. At 59, Andy Walters has been on Facebook for the past four years.
"I just reconnected with a girl that I was in high school with," Walters told Fox 9 News. "We hadn't talked to each other or seen each other in 40 years."
In February 2009 -- just 6 months after reaching 100 million users, Facebook introduced the like button. Today, the social media giant can boast more than 1.2 billion users globally.
"We're talking about 50 percent of the world's population with access to the Internet," Olson explained.
The average user is 41 years old with 228 friends, and it's estimated that most people spend at least 8 hours a month posting pictures and comments to the site. Six out of 10 users check the site every day.
"I joined Facebook to stay in contact with all my relatives that are located all around the country," Jami Kernan said. "It's been awesome."
Kernan said her children got her on Facebook, but they're all now friends with her 95-year-old aunt from North Dakota.
While Facebook may be the first social network, Mark Zuckerberg became a very rich man when the company went public in May of 2012. With that kind of cash in play, it's almost certain that someone with a rival idea will try to get a piece of the pie at some point.

Here's a typical carne asada marinade used by Lisandro "Chando" Madrigal, the proprietor of Chando's Tacos, when he's grilling at home.
This is just a base recipe, so let your taste buds be the guide. Other ingredients to consider include: paprika, black pepper, chili powder, dried onion, garlic salt, soy sauce, slices of orange, and beer as a liquid base. This marinade is enough for 3 pounds of steak.
3 tablespoons seasoned salt
1/2 onion, sliced in rounds
1/4 cup diced cilantro
1/2 cup orange juice
Cover the bottom of a Tupperware container with a few slices of steak. Season with salt, top with a few slices of onion and cilantro, and drizzle enough orange juice to cover. Repeat this process with additional layers of steak. Marinate for two to three hours before grilling.

An institution devoted to reviewing and highlighting legislation that has exceeded a certain time frame.
Legislation is important under certain contexts. It's crucial, then, to keep legislation current. I think it a spectacular idea to commit a non-profit group to holding outdated legislation to current standards.
To quote the U.S. General Accounting Office report to Congress in 1990, through P.J. O'Rourke's "Parliament of Whores,"
"The government established a wool and mohair price-support program in 1954... to encourage domestic wool production in the interest of national security."
How is my proposal any better than the Government Accountability Office? Well, I'm not entirely sure and I suppose this is why I'm proposing it. I feel, though, the the GAO is entirely too big and that a program like this should have a lot more visibility - voters can access an archive of legislation, what it was written to combat, and what the general effects of it are now.

pat gilbert 100+Oct 28 2012: If P.J. O'Rourke endorses something it is worth looking at.
I have heard it said that if you started taking away subsidies from the biggest to the smallest the budget would be balanced by the time you got to the 500,000 dollar level.
I think what we need is a educating of the populace in economics to where the trend became a Mccarthy era culture in DC to where congressman would start shaking at the notion of corruption. In other words we need to hang a few congressman so the other ones would get the idea that the beltway culture is no more. And "The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending."
Oct 28 2012: Pat, I went to Republician proposed budget cuts and selected House GOP lists 2.5 Trillion in spending cuts. I recall seeing this before but it always opens my eyes. What the heck are some of these allocations.
If the federal government just allowed attrition to occur in the federal job corps we would save a bundle. Obamacare (FREE) medical is 80 Billion a year and the Obamacare administrative costs are already 900 Million a year.
Obama commited 25 agencies to Rural Sustainability under a Executive Order June 9, 2011. This is essentially a attack on private land owers. It has been described as Obamas Holodomor. The Holodomor was an event in the Ukraine 1932 - 33 that took private farms away in favor of collective farming by the Russian Government which killed 7 million farmers and families. I also associate this to the Article 21 movement in the UN which is the mother of Cap and Trade and other enviromental socialist program nightmares.
Sorry about the rant but the sleeping American public will wake up way to late to stop the march.
pat gilbert 100+Oct 28 2012: It is the alphabet soup of government agencies that could easily be done without, in fact getting rid of them would be a 2 for 1 deal. Their expense and inane regulations. The constitution intended for much of what these agencies do to be done at the state level at which point some of the regulations would start making sense. Except don't use Calif as an example other than what not to do or what happens to states when they go bad.
Oct 29 2012: Yea but..
When you consider that according to what Robert Winner says we have dozens of states that are bankrupt. Part of the reason is as David Hamilton indicates is that in the State of California for every dollar that Calif sends to the Federal government something like 38 cents comes back.
Even then the Federal government has managed to put us 16 trillion dollars in debt., 5 trillion of that in the last 4 years.
That does not include the unfunded liabilities of Social Security and Medicare that are at least 100 trillion dollars.
So yes we are very much into centralized government with gargantuan waste.
What does that mean to you personally? Glad you asked. It means that you, your children , and your children's children are going to have to pay that debt through increased taxes or through inflation and because of the increased burden there will be much less opportunity. If the future politicians cannot do this or will not do this the United States WILL collapse. It will be sudden and it will be dystopian. This does not have to happen but I have seen no reason to think it will not happen.

The Shack
Paraphrasing/quotation from a Christian novel, The Shack by William P. Young (great read) :
Most birds were created to fly. If you clip a bird's wings and remove it's ability to fly, it loses its purpose. We are like birds in the sense that we were created to be loved. So for us to live as if we were unloved is a limitation. That is not what God intented. Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly. And if it's left unresolved for very long, you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place. A bird is defined not by being grounded but by his ability to fly. Remember this, humans are defined not by their limitations, but by the intentions God has for them; not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in His image.

|A new insight into the dissociating effect of strontium on bone resorption and formation.

|Calcium phosphates are widely used as biomaterials and strontium (Sr) is known to have the ability to modify the bone balance towards osteosynthesis. In the present study we investigated the capacity of Sr-substituted sol-gel calcium phosphate to modify the expression of genes and proteins involved in extracellular matrix synthesis by primary bone cells. We first determined the most effective concentration of strontium using human primary bone cells. Sol-gel biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) powders were then synthesised to obtain release of the optimal concentration of strontium. Finally, human osteoblasts obtained from explant cultures were cultured in the presence of sol-gel BCP, Sr-substituted BCP (5% Sr-substituted BCP, corresponding to a release of 5 × 10−5 M [Sr2+] under the culture conditions (BCP5%)) and medium containing strontium chloride (SrCl2). Viability, proliferation, cell morphology, protein production and protein activity were studied. We demonstrated that 5 × 10−5 M SrCl2 and BCP5% increased the expression of type I collagen and SERPINH1 mRNA and reduced the production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1 and MMP-2) without modifying the levels of the tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs). Thus strontium has a positive effect on bone formation.

Baby Smiles Equal Happy Parents
Why those toothless smiles can give you a natural high
Striving for Smiles
So what do you do to get those smiles? Anything you can! Kara Della Vecchia's son smiled for the first time when he was 6 weeks old, while her husband played "pat-a-cake" with him. "That first smile was amazing!" says the Boston resident. "As parents, you do everything you can to get more smiles because they are so rewarding! We have looked like fools making faces and baby noises, trying to get a repeat performance! At that point, our son was colicky (screaming every night between 5 and 8 PM) and wasn't sleeping—those first smiles really helped us get through the tough times!"
Sometimes you come upon the magic smile-maker quite by accident. Robyn Frendberg's son was a few weeks old and his inconsolable crying was starting to exhaust her. Then one day, "I was facing a long day of unsuccessful pacifying, so I pulled out the rocking chair and started rocking him," says the California resident. "That didn't help either, until I accidentally let my long hair sweep across his face as I was reaching for something on the floor. Instantly he stopped crying. When I looked down to figure out what happened, he greeted me with a big, genuine smile."
Sometimes parents aren't even the instigators of the smiles, but it still feels just as good. Recently a breeze blew across the face of Catherine Lang-Cline's infant daughter. "She closed her eyes and had a huge open-mouthed smile," says the Columbus, Ohio, resident. "Precious! It just makes me smile thinking about it. Like I said, you can feel your own heart smile when your baby smiles."
Dr. Strathearn believes the mother-infant relationship is one of the most important factors influencing infant social, emotional, and cognitive development. "Some parents think that expensive 'educational' toys, videos, or gadgets will boost their child's development," Dr. Strathearn says. "The truth is that their day-to-day responsive and caring interactions are far more valuable for their child. And interacting with their child can also be a rewarding and motivation factor for mothers, as our study has shown."
Perhaps Kimberly Jones of North Carolina expresses it best: "An overwhelming feeling of happiness comes over me [when my son smiles], and I wish I could live in that moment forever," she says. "My son, my firstborn, is everything to me and when he smiles I know I'm being the best mom that I can be."

The Songjiang district near Shanghai has become a popular destination for tourists...apparently fantastically wealthy tourists with an eye for the peculiarly sustainable. This planned sci-fi luxury hotel with underwater rooms and purchase of viagra indoor waterfalls has significantly more humble beginnings. It's located in an 100 foot deep abandoned quarry.
Using an already disturbed site like this is key when building in ecologically sensitive areas. And the architects have done an amazing job incorporating the design of the hotel into it's humble surroundings. But the buy real cialis online without prescription sustainability doesn't stop there. The hotel extends some of the natural landscape over itself by covering it's ground-level roof in dirt and greenery. The green roof would also keep the hotel cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Even cooler, because the buy viagra 50mg quarry was dug so deep, it will be relatively inexpensive to harness the geothermal energy of it's cool how much viagra the site. There's no word on exactly how much of its power will be generated this way, but it could possibly provide all of the hotels heating and electricity needs.
Aside from all that, the hotel looks ridiculously cool, check out this picture as well.

Hotel in an Abandoned Quarry Site
written by Rey, August 10, 2007
The architectural design of the proposed hotel is amazing. But the engineering plan and design is quite poor. Why? Because the hotel is located in geohazard area. The engineer(s) should conduct a thorough environmental impact study in the area before the hotel is built. Environmental site assessment is needed for such project located in environmentally sensisitive area.

Hip-hop star Ludacris has reportedly filed a countersuit in his ongoing legal battle over the name of his Disturbing tha Peace record label.
Bing: Jay-Z documents subway ride
Demetri Brown and Donna Evans-Brown sued the rapper in October, accusing him of trying to dupe lawmakers into believing they had renamed their audio/visual company Disturb the Peace after he had created and trademarked his record label, Disturbing tha Peace. Brown and Evans-Brown, who claim they came up with the name for their enterprise in 1988, demanded an injunction and a cease-and-desist order to prevent the rapper from using the phrase, but now Ludacris is firing back.
According to TMZ, in new court documents filed in Texas earlier this month, the rapper insists he has owned the trademark for Disturbing tha Peace since 2003, and he wants the couple to be banned from using their company name to avoid any potential confusion with consumers. Ludacris, real name Christopher Bridges, also declares the pair's continued use of the phrase could damage his label's top-quality reputation. The rapper is seeking damages and court fees.

A proposal to automatically restore voting rights to felons after their prison terms ended was overwhelmingly defeated by House Republicans Monday morning, despite the measure's strong support from Gov. Bob McDonnell and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
Virginia is one of four states where felons do not automatically gain the right to vote once they leave prison. Instead, convicted criminals must appeal to the governor to regain suffrage rights, a process which can extend for years.
"As a nation that believes in redemption and second chances, we must provide a clear path for willing individuals to be productive members of society once they have served their sentences and paid their fines and restitution," said McDonnell in his 2013 State of the Commonwealth address. "It is time for Virginia to join most of the other states and make the restoration of civil rights an automatic process for non-violent offenders."
Currently, Virginia, Iowa, Florida and Kentucky do not return full voting rights to felons upon release. While lawmakers praised the Governor's restoration of rights to 4,423 felons, a higher number than any of his predecessors, members of the House Constitutional Amendments Subcommittee said more than 400,000 released felons are still disenfranchised.
"No matter how vigilant, how dedicated a governor is, and Governor McDonnell is just that, you're talking about [helping] one percent of the people who are disenfranchised," said Del. Joe Morrisey (D – Henrico). "We have to expedite the process so people can move on."
House Republicans easily defeated two versions of the bill, stemming from concerns that released felons should continue to go through a review process before voting rights are returned. Democrats have tried to pass similar measures for years, and expressed optimism a bill would pass with the support of the two highest ranking Republicans in the state.
"They are ashamed sometimes to tell people what they've gone through. And we want them to be productive citizens," said Del. Roz Dance (D – Petersburg). "And for me, that is a form of slavery."

KONY 2012 and Generation Y: Rebels Without A Pause
This Is Your Brain On Melodrama
In the mid 1940's, Walt Disney produced a number of cartoons, at the request of the United States government. These shorts, given titles like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and "Commando Duck," portrayed Germans and Japanese as amoral, corrupt, and uncivilized caricatures. Copies of these propaganda films can be found floating around the internet, but due to their reductive and simplistic portrayal of nuanced and now-familiar subjects, they don't read the way they used to. It's a combination of cynicism, embarrassment, and an assumed superiority that leads us to laugh at these images of the three industrious pigs taking on a Nazi wolf—superiority to the dopey inhabitants of America 1945 who swallowed that ridiculously two-dimensional waffle without thinking twice; who blindly supported the endeavors of their government based on a few minutes of carefully scripted media. We snort, we close the tab, we open Facebook, and we all but declare war on a man whose name we just learned in a country we couldn't point to on a map.
Joseph Kony and Uganda, respectively, in case you've been internetting under a rock.
On the continuum between our primate ancestors, from Dryopithecus up to the modern Homo Sapiens, there are fewer steps between us and the sentimental Cleavers of WWII America than we'd like to think. Although plenty of red flags have been raised in the wake of Invisible Children Inc.'s viral KONY 2012 campaign regarding the organization's motivations, legitimacy, use of funds, etc., this isn't my concern. One thing of which I'm certain is that they are not "bad guys,"

Little G recently celebrated her first birthday, and so I recently celebrated my first year of motherhood. Some days, it was simply a matter of survival, friends. And others, it was truly awesome. Overall though, the first year of motherhood was a huge learning experience. Here are 11 things I learned:
1. Be kind to yourself, post-baby. (Insightful advice at my six-week postpartum checkup from my OB/GYN, whose message encompassed both body and soul.) An example: Take a walk outside with the goal of simply taking a few deep breaths and soaking up nature, rather than of whittling away at your nine-month weight gain.
2. Just when you think you have a handle on parenting … you don't. One day about one month into motherhood, I stroller-ed Little G around our neighborhood. She fell asleep during our sun-kissed walk, and slept some more when we got home. "I've got this," I remember thinking. "I can do this … it's not so overwhelming."
When my little love woke up, I picked her up and began cuddling her on my lap. And then — this is a true story — I felt something warm and solid on my thigh. Yep, I hadn't fastened Little G's diaper tight enough, and it was now leaking down my leg. What a reality check! End result: These days, I never feel too self-confident or smug about how I parent. I know there's plenty of room for error, and humility.
3. You cannot get your old life back. No more spontaneous dates with your partner, no more sleeping in on Saturdays, no more lots of things you previously loved. So make peace with your current (sleep-deprived) circumstances, and move forward to embrace your new life.
4. A new mama really needs herself some mama friends. I am so thankful for mine.
5. While not optimal, your child's swallowing paper is one of the least-worrisome nonfood items he or she can ingest. (Little G had such an incident, and came through it completely fine … although I was absolutely beside myself at the time.)
6. Lower your standards to maintain your sanity. Case in point: I deeply value high-quality food, for myself and my family. Imagine my disappointment when Little G snubbed the Tillamook Cheddar cheese I purchased for her in favor of a Kraft version. After a while, I gave up pushing the "World's Best Medium Cheddar" on her. I decided I would be happy that she simply was getting some calcium and protein in her belly.
7. Along with lowered standards … it's OK to let the TV serve as a babysitter sometimes. During my pregnancy, I remember telling the hubby, "Our baby will not watch any TV until age 2, per the guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics. I have a zero-tolerance policy on this." Ha … ha … ha. With one year of motherhood under my belt, I'm not ashamed to admit that I occasionally plop Little G in front of our biggest electronic when I need a few minutes to start dinner, write an e-mail or order yet another box of Pampers online.
8. Having a child usually means more communication with family members — grandparents, aunts and uncles, and other loved ones. Try to be gracious and patient with the many communications: everyone's questions and comments about your little love, and requests for time, visits, and more pictures and cell-phone conversations. Bottom line: Everyone just wants to love on your honey, and love is good.
9. Almost anything can serve as entertainment. My Poppy, who turned 90 this past April, used to say, "Just give a kid some pots and pans to play with." Indeed, Little G finds great joy in banging an empty cereal box on the kitchen floor, and wielding a (battery-less) remote control.
10. However, do not give your almost-1-year-old daughter a container of Aunt Jemima Original Syrup to play with anywhere near a white carpet, as you write a grocery list just a few feet away. She will figure out how to open the cap, the contents of the container will spill on the carpet, and your hubby will need to rent a Bissell Big Green Deep Cleaning Machine from Lowe's the very next day, in order to remove the sugary stuff and sanitize the carpet.
11. You really don't know another parent, and why they do what they do, until you've walked a mile in their shoes, or at least swapped diaper bags for an hour or so. Motherhood has really opened my eyes to this old adage. I see other parents doing things differently from the way I do them, and even though I know what I want for my daughter, I don't presume that my way is the right way for my fellow mamas and papas.
What did your first year of parenthood teach you?

US District Court Judge Denise Cote originally took issue with the settlement because Apple could end up only paying $70 million.
It would be great if I could just write fiction all day long and not bother with having a real job or writing a blog.
US Judge Denise Cote, who ruled that Apple conspired to fix e-book prices, denies the company's attempt to throw off a monitor that was appointed to oversee its antitrust compliance.
After the tech giant agrees to pay millions in the e-book price-fixing lawsuit, the presiding judge says, "I'm concerned about the terms of the settlement."
Judge rejects Apple's argument that states lack standing in the case, which seeks as much as $840 million in damages.
A federal appeals court has granted a temporary stay until a three-judge panel can examine Apple's motion.
The settlement comes less than a month before the scheduled beginning of the trial, in which $840 million in damages was sought from Apple.
Michael Bromwich says that Apple has become more responsive to his inquiries regarding its e-book price-fixing case, but he'd like to have time with the company's senior leadership.
Judge says the antitrust lawsuit filed by state attorneys general has already been delayed two months and should begin on July 14.
The US government says an appeals court should deny Apple's motions to get rid of the monitor overseeing its compliance with antitrust laws.

Cops could fill in for 911 dispatchers: report
In the wake of slews of complaints about and reported failures by the city's 911 system, the NYPD is considering having police officers take 911 calls at the city's emergency dispatch center, according to the Daily News.
The News reported an internal memo dated this past Monday regarding this proposal, and said NYPD spokeswoman Kim Royster confirmed that the memo was part of a "brainstorming exercise" as the police look at various options to "address staffing" at the call center.
The memo reportedly also suggested a complete overhaul of shift schedules, the elimination of Saturdays and Sundays off for the most senior staff, a mandatory four hours of overtime per shift and an increase in uniformed supervisors.
Deputy Mayor Cas Halloway has blamed the highly publicized delays and problems on "human error" by police operators or EMS dispatchers or a lack of available ambulances. Officials have blamed one such delay for the death of 4-year-old Ariel Russo, struck by a car on June 4 on the Upper West Side.

Open Dream EnsemblePosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
A cellist hands her instrument to an actor and dances a little shimmy. A percussionist sings a jazzed-up lullabye, tucking his daughter into a bed that rolls around the stage and morphs into a ship. A riddling tap dancer crashes a mad tea party, two crickets chirp in rhymed couplets, and a dragon fills the stage to a menacing drumbeat.
What does this all mean? It means you are witnessing a performance by the Open Dream Ensemble.
On Friday night, I caught a dress rehearsal for the debut of the Open Dream Ensemble, or ODE, a new multidisciplinary art project sponsored by the Kenan Institute for the Arts. ODE is comprised of three musicians (cello, sax, percussion), three actors, three dancers, two artistic directors and a technical designer.
The ensemble performed an original, 60-minute piece called The Amazing Adventures of Anna Marie — and amazing it was indeed. Conceived and written by co-artistic directors Mollye and Kelly Maxner, AAAM is visually and aurally dizzying, taking place in the mind of an eleven-year-old girl as she imagines herself facing her inhibitions and fulfilling her dreams. The remarkably gifted ensemble members, all graduates of the North Carolina School of the Arts, have met up with one another at the intersection of modern dance, new music and contemporary theater to produce a truly original performance experience.
The brains behind ODE belong to my wife, Rebecca Nussbaum, who would have been performing in the ensemble on Friday if she hadn't just given birth in August. With the support of Kenan, she has been developing the plans for ODE for close to two years. As part of the plan, the ensemble members have all been trained by successful teaching artists from around the country, including members of the Lincoln Center Institute. They will spend the next few months traveling around the region, performing for thousands on stages large and small, and participating in residencies designed to stimulate children and adults with an appreciation for the arts and a better understanding of their own creative potentials.
This debut season is an opportunity to take the ensemble concept for a test drive; future seasons promise increasingly ambitious undertakings. It's a bit early to prognosticate, but the generous funding, the high-level artistic vision and the educational potential make me think this project is going to be a big winner, which is good news for all of us who care about the present and the future of the arts.
I will be keeping a close eye on this venture for several reasons, and give further updates as appropriate.
UPDATE: Overheard, six-year-old boy after Saturday night's performance: "Dad, that was the best movie I ever saw!"

As William Hoagland of the Bipartisan Policy Center put it, "This movement away from the center, at a time when issues have to be resolved from the middle, makes it much more difficult to find solutions to major problems."
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
But moderates like Scott Brown are why we're still looking for a way to ensure that no banks are too big to fail, and that taxpayers will never again be on the hook for the gambling of our financial institutions. In fact, after burnishing his "moderate" credentials by voting for the 2010 Wall Street reform bill, "moderate Scott Brown" set about weakening its provisions and opening up loopholes for the banks. It's why Simon Johnson wrote that Brown was sometimes referred to as an "ATM for the bankers."
It's just one example of many, from the Iraq War to the repeal of Glass-Steagall, of how dangerous it is to equate bipartisan agreement with good policy. All those "moderates" whose departure Lieberman and many in the media are now mourning were there in the last Congress, and yet, as Lieberman notes, it was the "least productive and most partisan and uncompromising" Congress he'd ever seen.
What we need isn't faux pragmatism, but real principles -- like being devoted to protecting taxpayers instead of being devoted to ensuring that the banks can continue to act like casinos. And yet, somehow, it's Elizabeth Warren who represents a threat to finding solutions? The bold leadership we need from Harry Reid is to resist being browbeaten by the financial industry and its well-funded lobbyists (many of whom will no doubt be former "centrist" colleagues), and to put Elizabeth Warren on the committee where she can do the most good: the banking committee.
This is the time for both Congress and the White House to be bold. The beginning of a new Congress, right after an election and as far as we can be from the midterms, is the best time to go big. After the 2004 election, in which President Bush was re-elected with almost exactly the same margin and vote totals as President Obama, Bush declared, "I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it." Unfortunately, he happened to spend it on many wrong things (helped out, of course, by many "moderate" Democrats). But that was exactly the right attitude -- and one President Obama should adopt. As Bill Maher put it, "There's no third term, Mr. President, so you may as well throw caution to the wind, 'cause it's not like we're using it to produce energy." Because "if not now, when?"
Obviously, there are many challenges facing our country today, but they are not going to be solved through middle-of-the-road, split-the-difference compromises. That's how many of the challenges were created, or allowed to grow unfettered, in the first place. Big problems require big solutions. I'm not suggesting that compromise is never needed, but compromise is the final step in a negotiation, not the first one. The first one is for leaders with strong convictions to fight for them. If gun violence is an issue you're passionate about, then you'll be more likely to keep at it until you find allies across the aisle. Same with Senator-elect Warren's passion for creation of a banking system that doesn't take advantage of the middle class.
The starting point for the incoming Congress and the returning president should be rooted in principle. The pragmatic solutions will follow.

Oppo may have packed the Find 7 with the latest and greatest specs, but it faces stiff competition from the LG G3, which has similar specs but a better design.
The design of Toshiba's high-end Kirabook hasn't changed since last year, but it has aged gracefully. The components get an update and the battery life gets a big boost, making this an all-around excellent, but expensive, ultrabook.
Sporting Android 4.3, a Snapdragon 800 CPU, and a 13-megapixel camera, the Grand S II is ZTE's newest marquee smartphone.
Pricing not available
While local storage fans will like Oplink's "Cloud-free" approach, its comparatively low-resolution cameras and high monthly fees make it tough to recommend.
Pricing not available
The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II has some solid capabilities and a standout lens, but the overall experience just doesn't live up to its price.
Although it doesn't have LTE, the ZTE Nubia 5's impressive specs and reliable performance make it a great value for an unlocked, high-end phone.
Diptic Video creates an easy way to gather your videos and photos into a collage, but is probably geared more toward specific creative types who want to try something new with their media.
Pricing not available
The Grand S Pro is a good deal with a carrier agreement, but U.S. Cellular has other phones that are faster and more reliable.
Small-screen gaming laptops are rare because they require serious engineering sleight of hand. The EON13-S walks the line between power and portability, but it would be so much cooler with a custom body.
The Toshiba Satellite S55t-A5277 comes close to being a great mainstream slim gaming laptop, but it's undone by an unimpressive display.

A 14-year-old girl riding a skateboard was hospitalized after a hit-and-run near 24th Street and Avenue B early Saturday morning. Yuma Police say a teen girl was riding her skateboard when a car hit her and then fled.
The girl was flown to Phoenix Children's Hospital where her injuries are considered life threatening.
The vehicle is described as a light colored, possibly light brown, and possibly between 2002 and 2006 Nissan Altima four door. The car may have damage to the left front corner of the vehicle. An $1,000 reward is offered for information leading to an arrest. TIP LINE: 78-Crime

According to conventional wisdom, the amp-hour rating of a cordless-tool battery is strictly a measure of its capacity. For example, powering the same drill/driver under identical testing conditions, a new 4 amp-hour battery will bore about twice as many holes per charge as a new 2 amp-hour one. After all, the 4 amp-hour pack contains twice as many 3.6-volt cells as the smaller pack and therefore has double the storage capacity.
Some of our recent tool testers, however, swear that higher amp-hour batteries not only have more runtime than their compact counterparts but can also be noticeably more powerful. Reinforcing this opinion, Bosch recommends using its new MXH180 18-volt oscillating multi-tool with its 4 amp-hour pack rather than 2 amp-hour pack for maximum power and runtime.
That's surprising, so we called Jason Feldner, Bosch product manager for cordless tools, for an explanation. In a nutshell, he said the cell configuration creates less resistance in 4 amp-hour packs than in 2 amp-hour packs, allowing larger packs to deliver more power. How much more? "A powerful tool like a recip saw might see a 20% performance boost," Feldner says, "but that percentage can vary by pack and drops with less demanding tools and applications." —Bruce Greenlaw is a contributing editor to JLC.
