Jump to:Page Content
When Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast on Monday morning, August 29, it cut a wide swath of destruction in the area; but despite inflicting enormous damage, it initially appeared that the storm had spared low-lying New Orleans the worst of its wrath. But as Katrina moved on, it soon became clear to those who had not evacuated the city that something was going very wrong: almost every part of New Orleans began to flood, and by the next day roughly 80 percent of it would be under water. The rapidly rising floodwaters, the result of three major breaches in the levees protecting the city, created a massive humanitarian crisis. Tens of thousands of residents escaped to rooftops or attics, where they waited anxiously for rescue, or waded in waist-deep water to find shelter; many went to the Superdome, which was already packed with people who had waited out the storm there, or to other improvised shelters in the city. As the days dragged on, it would become increasingly apparent that almost every aspect of the response from state, local, and federal government was falling far short of what was needed: evacuees languished in squalid shelters or on highway overpasses waiting for buses that did not come; looting and more serious crimes were reported to be rampant; food, water, and medical care were in short supply. As public outrage grew, fed by TV footage of distraught storm victims, emergency response officials and political leaders, all the way up to President George W. Bush, found themselves scrambling to cope with the "ultra-catastrophe" that Katrina had visited on New Orleans.
This case tells the story of the first week of the post-landfall response to Katrina, describing both the devastation left by the storm and the largely ineffective efforts of officials to respond to the overwhelming need it created. It provides an opportunity to consider the operational issues of emergency response, particularly the problems of interagency, interjurisdictional, and intergovernmental coordination in an enviroment where infrastructure and communications systems had been almost entirely destroyed. Used in tandem with Part A, the case provides a before-and-after look at the response to Katrina, but it can also be taught as a freestanding case.

As expected, the European Commission's draft regulation on audit concentrates on the audit of public interest entities (PIEs – mainly listed companies) and amounts to a concerted attempt to legislate for greater visible independence and competition in the audit market in this sector.
These are highly interventionist measures and some appear to have been framed without conclusive evidence that they are needed to pre-empt future audit failures. In particular, it is not clear how the act of enshrining many aspects of current professional and technical standards in legislation – for example, the requirement to conduct audits in accordance with professional scepticism – will serve to improve audit quality. While the EC is entitled to stress the public interest dimension of audit at this level, we also need to ensure that the eventual legislation takes into account the needs and wishes of companies and investors. The strong focus on PIEs means that comparatively little attention is given by the EC to the audit of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). That is not to say, though, that what attention is given to that area is insignificant.
For the first time it is being proposed that small entities should be formally excluded from the scope of European Union law requiring accounts to be audited. This recognises the reality that the great majority of EU countries have by now taken advantage of the existing provisions in the Fourth Directive, which allow small entities to be made exempt from national laws requiring audit. The draft directive makes clear, though, that where a member state chooses to require small company accounts to be audited, those audits are to be deemed 'statutory audits' and will thus have to meet the various criteria set out in the directive, including in respect of eligibility to act. Similarly, if any small company chooses to have a 'voluntary' audit, the draft directive provides for that to be treated as a 'statutory audit', too. These provisions are positive in that they will help to provide certainty as to what an audit amounts to at this level. The draft directive confirms that all statutory audits, including 'voluntary' ones, are to be carried out in accordance with International Standards on Accounting (ISAs). However, the most significant provision as regards SME audits appears in articles 43a and b, which provide that member states are to be required to ensure that the application of audit standards to SMEs is 'proportionate to the scale and complexity' of the companies concerned. Thus the EC is envisaging some sort of modification of the existing requirements of ISAs as they are applied to SMEs.
If this proposal helps to maintain the long-term relevance of audit in the SME sector, then it can only be a good thing. Scaling back the requirements of ISAs is, however, an area fraught with technical difficulty, given that the extensive procedures set out in ISAs are currently seen as integral to the achievement of the key benchmark of reasonable assurance. The other aspect, which will need to be considered carefully, concerns the delegation of authority to the individual member states to decide what proportionality means in respect of SME audit standards in their jurisdictions. Apart from the question of whether member states are the right people to decide on audit standards, the danger is that we could end up with 27 different forms of SME audit requirements. If we are trying to maintain confidence in the credibility of published accounting information, including at the SME level, the last thing we want to do is to create any new cause for confusion. So while some rationalisation of the application of ISAs at the SME level is an attractive one, at least in principle, we should at least be aiming for a harmonised solution and one which does not create any new expectations gaps.

For the first time in a while, I have absolutely no interest in an apple item launch. I'm rather curious to see how this one plays out.
To the writer; I apologize for all of my negative comments in other threads about the "Event." I still don't foresee an iPad mini but I was wrong about the event.
I'm looking forward to the specs on this one. They haven't leaked as bad as other iDevices, so hopefully there aren't too many spoilers before the the 23rd.
Probably nothing too important but good info none the less. I'm happy with my iPad 2 but its about time the iPad mini stands up to those other "smaller tablets".
I am planning on buying this new idevice if it has retina display.
What's surprising to me is that no one has played the name game for this unlike all other apple product launches.. is it going to be called an iPad mini, iPad nano, or something else?
There's clearly a market for an Apple product with a form factor somewhere in between an iPod touch and the current iPad. I'm excited about the iPad Pico-Nano, which will have a form factor somewhere in between the iPad Nano and the iPod touch (with the iPad Nano having a slightly smaller form factor than the upcoming iPad mini).
The latest generation of iPod Nano proves that if you can't come up with anything revolutionary, you can still make money by reproducing the same old thing in a slightly different size :-)
If you look back to those old articles, Cook said in an email that Apple also had a refresh for the iMac in the works.
I plan on laughing at everyone that said that the smaller iPad wouldn't exist.
Dear god. I hope they don't name it the "iPad mini". What a terrible name IMHO.
Dear Apple I want a Nexus 7. I don't know why and I've never owned a single Android product in my life. If you really are making an iPad mini (perhaps to compete with the Nexus 7) please convince me to hand over my money for such a thing :P
I hope it's retina. Most likely it will not be, but still hoping for it.
And to the people complaining about the name, c'mon really, who gives a toss what it's called. They could call it a FannyPad for all I care it's the price that's more appealling to me.

They didn't think it was important, until he died suddenly. It wasn't a surprise; after all, he was 89 years old and had health problems.
But the family still wasn't prepared, and until the last moment, he was in denial. What the family learned a few days after his death is that not only did they not know his succession intentions, but they didn't know he'd made his new wife the beneficiary of the trust. This happens far too often.
More on succession planning
Transition is going to happen. Whether it's planned or not is your choice. If you depend on the operation, it's your responsibility to initiate the succession planning process. The story you read above is about a real family, but it's not the first time I've heard a story like this—and unfortunately, it won't be the last.
You might believe that succession planning is optional and that if you don't plan, it'll still work out. Well, it doesn't happen that way!
If you don't have a written plan for succession, isn't about time you do? If you do have a plan, is it time for a review? Everything changes—family, operations, economies, dollar values, career goals, regulations, tax laws and farming methods. Remember:

No doubt Assyrian stands out from others and I likes it only it and vote for it
ThankS you
is this issue dead? other issues had a lot of feedback
Written by NocturnalStalker on 13.06.2011 at 11:54
Thanks, Troy! This issue seems to be one of the strongest ones so far. I almost had my head cracking and ears bleeding over this.
After all, for me it also came down to choosing between Assyrian and Trillion Red and I picked the latter.

It's a shame two great bands like that are in the same issue...I'm sure either one would win in another edition.

Trillion Red
Quote:Written by Troy Killjoy on 14.06.2011 at 03:14
When I was first going through the write-ups that was my reaction...like, "wow, these bands are really good; I'm actually going to have to think about who really stands out the most".
It was an excellent issue for me, with each of the band's offering something worthwhile. I wasn't upset with any of the submissions.

It's Friday so that means it's time for "You Sew Rock Me Fridays" with 10 awesome projects that I happened to come across this week while surfing the World Wide Craft Web.
Ok, so it's actually Wednesday but I am posting this early because I chose all Holiday-themed goodies and I'm feeling festive. I know it's probably a little late to make some of these but you can definitely put these ideas in the vault for next year!
Project #1
Meg from White Nest Shop made this beyond gorgeous Winter Wreath. If you know anything about me it is that I love the clean organic look, which is why I am crazy about burlap, linen, jute, and wood projects. I can't tell you how much I LOOOOOOOOVE this wreath. This is definitely a must make! And because it is very simple you can actually use it year 'round and just add seasonal elements. Amazing job Meg!
Project #2
Caroline from The Feminist Housewife made this adorable Pottery Barn Inspired Advent Calendar. Not only is it great for the holidays, but I kind of want to steal the design and make an herb garden like this.
Project #3
Sharon at Elizabeth & Co. made these cute and easy Felt Gift Card Holders. You could even add a custom monogram or other decoration if you wanted, and these are certainly not limited to Christmas! For a no-sew option, you can use iron on adhesive tape like Heat 'n Bond.
If you would rather work with paper, Katie from Lemon Jitters has a great tutorial on Making Paper Gift Card Holders.
Project #4
Kacey from Stay-at-Home Artist made her own Felt Mistletoe. I agree with her that most of the commercial stuff just isn't that nice…but this certainly is!
Project #5
Katie from Katie Did made these Festive Holiday Banners. I love that they look like they are floating and span all across the room!
Project #6
Sally from Sally Ann made these Tacky Animal Sweaters!
Ok I really like this project because it made me giggle…a lot. But luckily that was the point! I even facebooked it to a few of my friends who I knew would get a kick out of these sweaters. If I would have seen this in high school we so would have made this with our faces on it! This is just a little reminder to not take life so seriously during the holidays. :)
Project #7
Amy from Then She Made grew her own Money Tree. Ok she didn't really grow it…but whoever gets it is going to be super excited!
Amy also came up with a second version of her Money Tree that has a little bit different style.
Project #8
Karen from Sew Many Ways did this Santa Claus Can. What a cute vase that makes!
Project #9
Jodi from Tutto Bella made this Holiday Serving Tray…out of candy! This is sweet in so many ways!
Project #10
Kim from Sand and Sisal came up with these totally cool Glass Float Ornaments. They look so much like the real things but at a fraction of the price! Plus they are beachy! And who doesn't love beachy?
Well, there you go…I hope you will agree these projects are as awesome as I think they are! Now go out and make something…you're running out of time…Christmas right around the corner! :)
If you've been featured, feel free to grab a button

See you next week for another installment of You Sew Rock Me Fridays. Just in case you missed the previous weeks, you can see those amazing projects HERE.

Trumpet EC, an organophosphate, will be sprayed over an area bounded by the Union Pacific Railroad to the north, West Linne Road to the south, South MacArthur Road to the east and South Lammers Road to the west.
The spraying is in response to increased numbers of adult mosquitoes and the detection of West Nile virus in several areas of San Joaquin County, the release stated.
As of Friday, one middle-aged person in San Joaquin County had tested positive for the virus, but the person had no symptoms, according to San Joaquin County Public Health Services. The infection was found during a blood donation screening.

The Witcher 2 Console Release Uncertain; PC Version on Track for MarchCD Projekt's Tomasz Gop told Eurogamer that the now "potential" console versions of The Witcher 2 will not be day and date with the PC version, if they are released at all.
leak of some early footage, which prompted CD Projekt to announce the project along with its intention to release the game on consoles.
In March, CD Projekt's PR representative clarified that the engine used for The Witcher 2 is "capable of console development," but that the team was "focusing on the PC version at this time." In May, CD Projekt tweeted that it "always wanted and still plans to develop The Witcher 2 on consoles - nothing has changed.
While the company has historically been cagey about the console versions, this is the first time they have been referred to as a "potential" release. Thankfully, the PC version of The Witcher 2 is still on track for a March 2011 release.

EAST GREENWICH — East Greenwich Deputy Fire Chief Russell McGillivray, suspended for two days with pay following an incident two weeks ago at a state Fire Marshal's Office training class, will not face further disciplinary action from the district's Board of Fire Commissioners.
Meeting in executive session Thursday night, the board refused to divulge any vote taken on further disciplinary action against McGillivray in the wake of an NBC10 I-Team report alleging that he had dropped his pants during a training session.

CHARLESTOWN - The Rhode Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex (RINWRC), a division of the National Fish and Wildlife Service, is in the process of constructing a White-tailed Deer Management Plan for the Block Island and Ninigret National Wildlife Refuges. A public workshop was held at the Kettle Pond Visitors Center on Thursday, Nov. 10, to collect public input on the plan and to answer questions.

NORTH KINGSTOWN – Over a month since a grand jury found former North Kingstown resident Kimberly Fry guilty of second-degree murder of her daughter Camden, a judge denied her request for a new trial Monday afternoon in Washington County Superior Court.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Knowing that without pension reform, South Kingstown faces an unfunded liability of $19.7 million for its municipal employee retirement system, the Town Council supports pension reform and last week's amendments to the state pension bill.
In an effort to distribute South County-related tourism materials, the South County Tourism Council (SCTC) has acquired space at the Pilot Travel Center at Exit 93 off Route 95 in Connecticut. The move was a direct result of the closing of the Rhode Island Welcome Center.
What a weekend it was for the Exeter-West Greenwich Scarlet Knights!
This week, the Standard Times has the most comprehensive coverage in Rhode Island of Exeter's run to state championships in both girls volleyball and girls soccer.
In addition, we've got the latest on the case against Kimberly Fry, the resignation of Greg Coutcher from the EWG School Committee and the debate over changes made to a local home that have drawn the ire of several historic societies.
It's all in this week's Standard Times. Pick up a copy today!
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – The four corners of the commercial highway zoning district will remain in the dark at least until February as the business community has to wait again to find out if they can use LED signs to brighten their future.
In today's The Narragansett Times, find out whether Wakefield businesses will now be able to use electronic LED lights to advertise. Also, the Narragansett Town Council approved a new ordinance to increase the late fee for property owners who need to register their rental homes with the town.
A day before the General Assembly votes on the state pension bill, The Times has two stories on what Governor Lincoln Chafee and the South Kingstown Town Council think about last week's new amendments to the bill.
NEWPORT - Almost two weeks after a barge sank beneath the Newport Pell Bridge, how it will be recovered hasn't been determined yet.
Abhe & Svoboda, Inc. of Minnesota, the owner of the barge, was hired by the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) for the purpose of repainting and making repairs to the steel structure of the bridge.
Repairs began in September 2010 and the current work is scheduled to be completed by year's end.

TACOMA, Wash., Aug. 1 (UPI) — Officials in Florida are working to get executed serial killer Ted Bundy's DNA added to the FBI's national database in hopes of solving cold cases.
The effort has spanned several years. David Coffman, regional crime lab director for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and other officials are working to have it added by mid-August, The Tacoma (Wash.) News Tribune reported.
Lindsay Wade sparked the latest effort after she became the most recent Tacoma homicide detective to look into the Ann Marie Burr case. Bundy has long been a suspect in the 5-decade-old case as he had ties to the missing girl's neighborhood.
Wade contacted Coffman in January after discovering Bundy's profile was not in the FBI database to make a comparison. Coffman had a partial DNA sample, which is not enough to link Bundy in any unsolved murders, or upload to the database, the newspaper said.
The two contacted various institutions for blood samples or other evidence to test to no avail until Coffman reached the clerk's office in the Florida county where Bundy killed a 12-year-old girl. Investigators still had a vial of Bundy's blood from that 1978 case.
"We were shocked how we got a complete profile," Coffman said. "It was a beautiful profile."
To get the blood uploaded to the database was another set of hurdles, because the sample was taken before Bundy's convictions.
Coffman worked with a legal team to get Bundy's profile into a special "legal" category.
"This is sort of an unusual situation," Coffman said. "He's a suspect but a dead suspect."
Last week in Tacoma, Wade went through evidence from the Burr case to have it ready to send to the state crime lab, with Bundy's DNA profile on its way to the FBI database for comparison.
Bundy, executed in 1989 at age 42, admitted to killing 30 young women and girls, however investigators have not been able to identify all of his victims, and suspect he killed many more.

For however you did this, I think its strongest point was probably how the animation was so good. It's great to have stuff like this that harkens back to our childhoods. I admit that I wasn't expecting that ending with all the birds. I hope you got as good a grade in art class as you did here!
I'm guessing "Spirds" was supposed to be the names of the animals that appeared in this? You might want to also have a "Replay" button. The music was pretty good and it gave off a pretty good sense of fulfillness. I can't make many suggestions, because it was just something you did for class. It could have used a better punchline.
Top 10? I don't understand...

5 Valentine's Day stocks to love or leave
All cater to the holiday's traditions, but only a couple deserve your affection.
By Alyssa Oursler
Next week comes one of the most love-it-or-hate-it holidays of the year: Valentine's Day.
Countless anti-romantics (and singles) think Valentine's Day is simply a made-up holiday to suck more money out of us. And regardless of your personal passion or disdain for next Thursday, one thing seems true: That's good for companies that cater to its traditions ... right?
Well, the "cost of loving" is up around 2.5% this year, according to PRNewswire. (Yes, that is a metric -- the result of an index that measures prices of the most popular gifts that will be doled out to loved ones). So that could put more money into those merchants' pockets. In theory, anyway.
In reality, Feb. 14 doesn't always translate to profits or mean related stocks are a buy ... in fact, some obvious picks for the holiday are bound to break your heart.
Let's take a look at a few companies that will be hocking their wares to romantics in the coming week, and whether you should love or leave their stocks:
1-800-FLOWERS: Leave it
Flowers might be one of the most common gifts for the holiday, but I'd stay away from 1-800-FLOWERS (FLWS).
The company makes most of its profits in the last three months of the year, and hasn't posted a profit for the quarter including Feb. 14 in four years. But more importantly, in four of the past five years, FLWS shares have bled red between the week before Valentine's Day and mid-March.
Sure, things could be looking up. The stock gained an eye-popping 67% in 2012 and is up another 7% so far in 2013 after more than doubling its earnings in the past year. That growth wasn't very organic, though, as revenue only gained 4%.
I'd still be skeptical about diving into this relationship long-term.
Cheesecake Factory: Love it
Valentine's Day isn't complete with out a romantic dinner and -- for those who don't want to opt for a homemade dish and bottle of wine -- Cheesecake Factory (CAKE) is a popular destination.
Cheesecake Factory has a nice little niche in the restaurant world. Well, maybe not little -- the cheesecake list alone is mesmerizing, and the menu has more listings than a dictionary. Plus, it's the perfect mix of a relatively upscale eatery -- unlike Darden Restaurants' (DRI) Olive Garden or Red Lobster or Ruby Tuesday (RT) -- priced reasonably enough for middle-of-the-road Americans.
Thus, we have a romantic stock that is worth getting starry-eyed over. The chain is looking good thanks to 11 straight quarters of revenue growth and solid 12% gains in the past year. With expectations for 16% and 12% earnings growth for the next two years, respectively, Cheesecake Factory might not be a stud, but it still looks pretty good.
CAKE reports earnings on Feb. 20.
Build-A-Bear: Leave it
What better way to say "I love you" than by going to a store, picking out the hide of a teddy bear, stuffing it, dressing it up and giving it to your love interest?
OK, fine, I can think of plenty of better ways to express affection. Still, stuffed animals are a go-to gift for many on Valentine's Day.
Too bad Build-A-Bear (BBW) is just about anything but a go-to stock. The company has only posted a profit in three out of the past 15 quarters. BBW is expected to report a better quarter come Valentine's Day (it reports Feb. 14), with expectations for a profit (hooray!) of 31 cents per share, but it also has a history of disappointing.
Two quarters ago the company was expected to lose 26 cents per share but lost 46, and last quarter it posted a surprise 26-cent loss against expectations that it would make 10 cents! In the most recent full year, the company lost 98 cents per share on a 2% slide in sales.
Analysts still expect a 47-cent loss for full-year 2012. That's expected to improve in 2013 -- to 15 cents in the red. You deserve better.
CVS: Love it
For last-minute (or reluctant) shoppers, CVS (CVS) is the place to go. You can snatch up a Hallmark card, a Whitman's Sampler, a heart-shaped box of Hershey's (HSY) chocolate ... and so much more.
If you're looking for a decent stock pick, you can find that here as well.
The drugstore is a member of InvestorPlace's Real America Index because it's the No. 1 provider of prescriptions and the No. 1 specialty pharmacy in the country. That plays a role in its solid growth prospects, including estimates for a 13% annual increase in earnings in for the next five years that best the average estimate of 9% for the S&P 500. And just recently, the company posted earnings growth of 6% on revenues that improved 11% for Q4 2012.
CVS shares gained 19% in the past year to trump the S&P 500's 11% gains, and still trade at just 11 times next year's earnings. What's not to love?
Zale Corp.: Leave it
Don't be fooled by the rocks that it's got; Zale Corp. (ZLC) doesn't have much to offer besides a shiny showcase of jewels.
Zale just can't turn a profit. It has booked seven straight quarters of revenue growth but hasn't made money in the past four years. The company's earnings actually have declined 78% in the past half-decade, and in the most recent quarter, the company posted a loss that was 20 cents -- or nearly 30% -- worse than analysts were expecting.
You wouldn't know it by looking at ZLC shares, which have climbed 72% in the past year. Still, at $5 per share, the stock still is well off its pre-crisis levels around $30, and it essentially has traded flat since it took a vicious post-earnings beating in November.
The only good news is that analysts are indeed expecting a profit this quarter when the company reports Feb. 21, but that number has been revised down in the past three months. The shine is fading from this bling.
As of this writing, Alyssa Oursler did not own a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

History begs for low expectations at 10
Category: Draft Talk
Don't expect a superstar.
Those are my words of advice to anyone curious about who the Milwaukee Bucks will end up drafting with the 10 pick in just over a month. In prepping my expectations for Milwaukee's pick, I've gone through every draft since 2000 to try and get a feel for what becomes of the number 10 pick. In the above chart, I measure performance of every guard or wing pick since 2000 by PER. I'm sticking with guards and wings for now, as every indication seems to point to Milwaukee going after a two or three (or maybe a tweener four) with its first pick.
The highlight of the past decade? Joe Johnson. Johnson started off in a bit role in Boston, moved to a larger role in Phoenix and now leads an annual playoff team in Atlanta. Sure, his contract is going to bite back on the Hawks in a few years, but he's still performing at a high level for now and gives them someone to turn to at the end of the game. He's as close to being a superstar as anyone on this list and someone the Bucks would absolutely love to get at the 10 spot.
The lowlight of the past decade? Luke Jackson. Don't let that high-water mark in his first year fool you, his NBA career never got off the ground, partly due to back surgeries in each of his first two seasons. In only one of his four seasons in the league did he shoot better than 40%.
If this season's draft is as weak as many are saying, Milwaukee will likely be dealing with a player much closer to Jackson's end of the spectrum than Johnson's. But that doesn't mean they can't get a player that can provide something.
The lack of athleticism on the wing in Milwaukee last season was startling at times, and rarely was it more evident than on the fast break. Two-on-ones and three-on-twos were regularly botched as the Bucks lacked a player that could rise above the opponent and finish strong at the rim. Milwaukee was relying on timely passing and fakes to create open looks where other teams simply made a single pass and went hard to the rim. Watching the Miami Heat take on the Chicago Bulls often looks like a clinic on fast break finishing. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose needn't so much as consider any unnecessary pass on a break. With their athletic abilities, defenders bounce off and fall short of them with regularity.
Milwaukee didn't have that type of finisher very often last season. Larry Sanders had his moments trailing the break, but he's hardly the guy a team wants handling the ball in the open court. Corey Maggette filled the finisher role better than most on the team, but he forced so much offense elsewhere that it was difficult for him to find consistent minutes. Milwaukee will likely look to shore up their athleticism problems by finding a player who has some athletic gifts, but is willing to pick his spots and learn where he can be effective in Milwaukee's offense. That's what Milwaukee seems to have on their hands in Sanders.
He may take the mid-range jumper a bit much for the liking of many, but Sanders always appears eager to learn and willing to work. Match those traits with game changing athleticism and Milwaukee has to ultimately be pleased with where last season's first round pick is heading. The Bucks could do a lot worse than the wing version of Larry Sanders in this year's shallow draft pool.
But history shows that chances are, they won't do a lot better.

By FELICIA FONSECAAssociated Press
PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - A jury has convicted a
Prescott stockbroker of first-degree murder in the golf-club bludgeoning
death of his ex-wife.
The Yavapai County Superior Court jury also
convicted Steven DeMocker of six other charges related to the 2008 death
of Carolyn Kennedy.
The verdict was read Friday after jurors concluded their deliberations late Thursday.
DeMocker faces a maximum sentence of natural life in prison on the murder conviction.
Prosecutors contend that DeMocker killed Kennedy at
her home because he was deep in debt, wanted the insurance payment and
didn't want to pay alimony.
DeMocker's defense team told the jury that
authorities did not properly investigate Kennedy's death. They tried to
deflect attention away from DeMocker and toward a man who lived with
Kennedy at the time but who has since died.

I'm suprised about the amount of fans on this game because if they are a good cause to release the awesome game then Capcom should listen to their fans on Monster Hunter and release it out here properly.
It is "general knowledge" that DICE is developing Mirror's Edge 2
According to Ben Cousins, former DICE employee and current head of Ngmoco's Stockholm studio in Sweden, it is "general knowledge" in the Stockholm development scene that DICE is developing a sequel to 2008's (2009 on PC) Mirror's Edge. While this does not confirm the development of Mirror's Edge 2, it does add credence to persistent rumours about its existence.
Cousins communicated this information through twitter, writing "It is general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene that Mirror's Edge 2 is in production at DICE" in response to a Eurogamer article about the Swedish-based developer.
Of course there's also no guarantee that any sequel to the free-running, first-person parkour title would be coming to the PC; but since the first game came to the PC, and given DICE's history with the platform, it's a reasonable assumption.
Update: DICE's Stefan Boberg has somewhat cryptically responded to Cousins, stating "Never trust a man who badmouths and talks down all his ex-employers… but still attempts to gain credibility by association."
Does this confirm that Mirror's Edge 2 definitely is/isn't being developed at DICE right now? Nope. But it does mean there's a bit of bad blood between current and former staff.
Boberg is in a bit of a no-win situation here. It's standard procedure in the games industry to deny all knowledge of everything until marketing is ready to make an official announcement; but if DICE really isn't doing anything with Mirror's Edge 2, then of course he's going to deny it.

So go on, we've all done it. I know I have tonight at work.
I opened two emails, one that I wanted to respond to and one that I needed to deal with in a different way. Guess what I typed the abrupt "OK I get the subtext, hands off message, that's me done" style reply on the wrong email and hit send.
As soon as I hit send I knew what I had done.
So do you
a) recall - which just makes people read the original message out of curiosity
b) send an explaining email, or
c) ignore it, hope the person who reads the message just thinks "What? Idiot! " And that's an end to it.
If only you could time travel and just go back 5 minutes from moments like this.
Anyway if nothing else I may amuse someone who has had a bad day today...
I've gone with option C by the way
Yep, we've all done it my worst was hit the "reply to all", instead of forward with some not too complimentary remarks about one of the recipients (thankfully it wasn't that bad)..
What about option 4 pick up the phone and apologize, stating exactly what happened - maybe he / she will see the funny side. If I were the recipient I would prefer someone to front up.
Nope, not if they ignore the recall and open the original message, which is what anyone on receiving the recall who knows that does.
Well it kind of is a client as well, all a bit complex. Really hoping nothing more is ever said about it and he really is just thinking I'm an idiot.
I recently added a distribution list to an email CC just so I could expand it, check it was correct, then email someone various names from the list, with certain comments about those people. And I forgot to remove the DL from the CC field.....
Wasn't too rude though
I'll see if I have a reply in the morning and then decide what to do. If no reply I'll just pretend like it never happened. If a reply asking what the **** am I talking about then I'll just have to own up and say wrong email, wrong response, wrong recipient.
Don't you just hate that as soon as I pressed send, well probably a milisecond before that moment I knew, but it was too late.
Went with c) apart from a sarcastic comment and a few knowing smirks as a certain subject was raised all appears well. Well as well as can be expected!
Just needed to confess last night as there was no one physically present that I could share with, and I needed to get it out of my system. Once done there's not a lot you can do to make the situation better, but a lot you can do to make the situation worse!
Same sort of thing can happen, even more easily, with text messages. I send very few but have sent to the wrong person in the past. Thankfully it was innocuous... but must have been a bit puzzling to the recipient.
But I could imagine (e.g.) expressions of love/lust sent to the wrong person could have 'interesting' consequences!
I'd do a recall anyway as
1. There's a small chance they won't read it and
2. if they do, they'll know it wasn't sent intentionally as it will be obvious that you tried to recall it.
If all else fails, send a follow-up containing a grovelling apology.

A new report from technology research corporation iSuppli warns that we're facing a global LED shortage in 2010. Hooray!
Why am I cheering? Because the reason for this shortage is a huge surge in demand for the energy-efficient lighting in the indian pharmacy tramadol electronics industry. Yes, it's bad that the supply is low, but it's great news that the use of more efficient lighting is ordering levitra online becoming more mainstream.
The report says that demand for LEDs is expected to viagra australia rise by double-digit percentages for at least the next three years. In 2009, 63 billion units were consumed out of the 75 billion unit capacity worldwide. The worst-case scenario is a rise in prices for mid-range and viagra no doctor high-end computers and HDTVs because of viagra alternative their larger displays.
The solution is simple enough though: increase production. The two largest suppliers have gotten the hint -- Aixtron and Veeco Instruments are doubling their production by the end of this year.

Now there is more emphasis on energy efficiency and TV manufacturers (in California at least) will need to meet some minimum levels of power efficiency and publish the we choice canadian pharmacy viagra electric consumption. But it also turns out LEDs are a good way to improve picture quality with better dynamic range-- instead of shutting off the light with the LCD, the LEDs can be dimmed so it uses less power and better contrast.
Home LED lighting is still a little too expensive and for general use not more efficient than alternatives, but as the market grows they will be cheaper and cheap levitra on line better.
Too bad we don't require electricity consumption for TVs and computer monitors to be posted in stores-- that would really push the LED market since people would buy displays that are cheaper to use.
I think people are buying LED TVs now because of picture quality, not power, though many now use EnergyStar as a feature.

This is pathetic. Looks like the Club for Growth needs some of that left-over Lance Armstrong testosterone also. The headline says it all: "Club for Growth Gives GOP Cover on Debt Vote" And all the hand-wringers at The American Conservative say the problem is GOP intransigence. If only.
The conservative Club for Growth announced Tuesday that it will not oppose the House vote to temporarily extend the government's borrowing capacity, a move that could provide the GOP rank and file cover to approve the measure.
House Republican leaders are bringing a bill to the floor Wednesday that would raise the debt ceiling without making commensurate cuts — the first time they have dropped that demand since 2011's debt limit fight — but contingent upon Senate Democrats approving a budget, which they have not done in more than three years.
"The Club for Growth will not oppose tomorrow's vote on the debt ceiling," Club for Growth President Chris Chocola said in a statement. "The Club for Growth will, on the other hand, strongly oppose any efforts during the upcoming debate over the continuing resolution and sequester that fail to arrest out-of-control spending and put sensible limits on the growth of government."

Starbucks man
A man at Starbucks today started talking to my friend and I. He told us that this was the time in our life to take chances, always go for it, and to keep our chins up. We talked for about 20 minutes as if he were some sort of prophet or something. My friend and I felt like it was a sign, a connection, a gift from a spirit who cared about our well being…advice from a stranger who seemed to know our life story but who we had never met before. You meet people for a reason. Just a man in a line at Starbucks and he happened to change my day. Thank you.
Lately I've been focusing on trying to be a better person and view the world in a more positive light. Good people, positive actions, and kindness fuel this…although there is bad in the world, there is still so much good we just need to take more moments to notice it.
