November 27, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States and British governments are creating a task force to target online child sexual exploitation.
The initiative aims to work with the technology industry in both countries to help dismantle international pedophile networks. The two governments say they want to identify the most serious crimes against children involving misuse of the Internet and find technical solutions.
British official Damian Green says the challenge is to tackle offenders who use more sophisticated technology, often referred to as the "dark web," to commit their crimes and hide their identity. Green is the U.K. Minister for Policing, Criminal Justice and Victims.
The initiative comes at a time when government surveillance is a major political issue in both countries because of disclosures by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is a great place to learn, mature and participate in school and community activities. My son has so enjoyed the relationships he has been able to make with teachers during his high school years. Having the same caring teachers for four years did wonders for him. He is now prepared for anything life may throw at him. Parents who make the effort to partner with this school will be greatly rewarded.
My family has been dealing with HP for the past two years, and have never been more disappointed with a school, or a district, ever. The administration at the school are mostly rude and short, and it is hard to get anything accomplished. Phone calls are not returned and the fact that they have a principal, a VP and a dean of students and still can't run a school well should tell you something.
My daughter is in 6th grade and it is her first year. The school seems very disorganized and staffs/teachers are poorly guided. It seems there seriously lack communication and do not even respond to parents' calls. I am going to wait to see how the rest of this year goes and if it continues like this, I am definitely putting my daughter in another school. It just seems there is no pride in quality of education and mentoring students. Perhaps their focus is more on older students in high school...I am not sure. It has been very disappointing dealing with them as it seems they do not take responsibility. I plan on bringing this to the principal's attention to see how she handles. - a very concerned parent
i went to Harrison prep during 7th grade and sense i moved to fort belvoir in Virginia because of being in the military i miss the teachers that helped me during school and after school i also miss the students.I liked how the teachers helped when you were failing classes by explaining it better.i think Harrison prep should be a little bigger and have locker rooms and only have 6-12 grade because everyone got along better and just adding like kids will be very distracting because of the screaming and etc.... this school is the best out of all schools i have been to.i wish it didn't have to changes.
I am not sure what Harrison the other people are talking about here but our experience with Harrison has been lack luster, The Principal is rude and unengaged and the teachers are for the most part awful. My daugheter's test scores and gpa have plummetted due the lack of teaching. They are disorganized and horrible to work with. If you complain then they take it out on your student. Diligently looking for another school for my child to attend!!! 6th grade was a waste of time..I only pray that it is not too late to get my child back on track!
LOVE THIS SCHOOOOOL!!! it is amazing! I love how small it is and how excited my child is to go to school.
Hello, I am a mother of a child with special needs, I think this is the school is that he needs, I would like to make an appointment with the school counselor as soon as possible, and that can help me as to their needs. Thank you very much!
Hi I am a 7th grade student and I used to go to harrison prep this was one of my very favorite schools my family is in the military so we move around alot and this school is so welcoming and kind the teachers are good the kids are nice the kids there don't bully people. At the school that I have been going to there has been bullying like nothing I've ever seen. I went to freedom park elementary but the teachers were terrible so this is my first day being homeschooled. Harrison prep is one of the best schools I have ever been to the only thing that I would change about it is maybe to get lockers.
This school feels like a private school without the high price tag. My son has always been bored to death at school but now faces challenges that make him push himself to new learning. The staff and the principal are caring people who will work hard to make sure that kids are well taken care of. We feel lucky to have our student at a school where high academic rigor is the norm.
i am a student here, i love it, i am on this site because students need to be also, to help the adults understand us better, i say this but i am more of an adult in the way i act then i am a child. also this is the best school i have been to. i went to camas prairie in spanaway, also i went to park lodge, it is a school in lakewood also. but of all the schools this is the absolute best. it is very small, only 400 students in the entire school. no way it should get less than 5 stars!
This is a small truly progressive school based on principles founded on the Coalition of Essential Schools. It is excellent for students who are interested in science and technology and plan on being college ready. The one thing our family really likes is they do not tolerate disrespectful behavior or bullying. Mrs. Boyd the principal is very proactive as are the staff of young professionals. This school is not for everybody. It has students from 5th grade through 12th grade who are hard working and seeking a more rigorous academic environment but may enter the school struggling. This school was almost our last resort. We were tired of the bullying and lack of curriculum and help in other local public schools.

Renewable energy 'simply WON'T WORK': Top Google engineers
Re: Between a rock and a hard place
@Stuart 22
The problem at the moment is that we are ONLY focusing on energy efficiency. The Google engineers say we really need game-changing - disruptive technologies. 10% of all energy R&D should be spent on such tech because we need to change the rules of the game. Apart from fission research, no meaningful money is currently being spent on such disruptive non-carbon tech. The UK has spent nothing on fission research for the last 20 years. This one dimensional focus on energy efficiency has fooled many people into thinking there's a RE-only solution to stop global warming. No such RE solution exists. Solar and wind remain absolutely dependent on fossil fuel. In UK, the so-called "Saudi Arabia of Wind", we often have very long low-wind periods lasting weeks. Such periods can happen at any time of the year. For example 1 to 20 Sept 2014, when wind produced only 5% of nameplate capacity. Battery backup for each 2MW windmill would need to store 200MWh - that's about 200 container sized batteries for each windmill!
We need to spending 10%, or more, of our energy R&D on disruptive tech such as nuclear molten salt reactors, liquid metal-cooled reactors and fission. It's not happening. The blame for this lies at the door of the green movement.
Want to see the back of fossil fuels? Calm down, hippies. CAPITALISM has an answer
Tim's hopes for solar and wind are doomed
Solar and wind will always be too expensive, although solar has the potential to beat wind on price - even in the UK. The main problem with solar and wind is that
* the sun does not shine at night
* short, cloudy winter days can result in very little solar, when we need energy most
* UK can go for weeks on end with a tiny amount of wind energy delivered to its electricity grid (just like the first 3 weeks of Sept 2014).
* energy use is only 1/3 electricity anyhow. What about industrial energy, transport fuels, etc?
This necessitates backup using
1. Dispatchable gas or coal fired electricity AND/OR
2. Energy storage, charged up during times of plenty
If (1), we find that solar and wind are no longer carbon free, and that we need twice as much plant to deliver our electricity. All those coal and gas fired stations must be built and manned 'just in case'; adding greatly to expense.
What about (2) energy storage? When energy storage is factored in to support renewables we find that renewables can't even generate the energy needed to sustain its own production/reproduction. Energy returned on energy investment (EROEI / EROI) studies show that renewables + energy storage won't work. Nor will route 2 stop blackouts.
Countrywide renewables such as wind and solar won't work for the UK. Nor can tidal, wave, geothermal, hydro, ... That's why the Tories plan to build lots of new nuclear power plants and invest in fracking.
Is alternative energy worth it?: http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=16729

Slash tuition fees for STEM students, biz boss body begs UK.gov
Re: A new way, won't make the hay
1. Businesses don't want to pay for training.
2. You make it sound as if a STEM graduate can be taught in a few months. It takes 2 years of A levels followed by 3 years as an undergraduate.
3. Business doesn't think 5 years ahead. They want someone now, whom they'd like to sack in 18 months.
4. Graduates want degrees. A degree allows one job mobility and some negotiating rights.
Fukushima radioactivity a complete non-issue on West Coast: Also for Fukushima locals, in fact
Re: Cs-137 plume
If we take the water in only the top 1 metre of only a tenth of the Pacific ocean and assume 110 kg of caesium-137 diffused into it the concentration would be about 7 nano grams per cubic metre, with an activity of 22.5 becquerel (Bq). If we assumed the caesium-137 diffused to a depth of 10 metres, the activity in a cubic metre would be 2.25 becquerel.
Radiation is a lot more dangerous inside one's body than outside. Alpha and beta radiation won't get past your skin. Only gamma- can harm you but it has to get past the water first. I reckon about 8 cm of water will take half of the gammas out (pure guess)
Note 1: 1 becquerel (Bq) = 1 disintegration per second.
Note 2: To reduce typical gamma rays by a factor of a billion, thicknesses of shield needs to be 4.2 meters of water.
To conclude, I wouldn't care a jot about swimming in the Pacific, unless I was afraid of sharks.

'Silent' staff stood by as £100m BBC IT project tanked – DG
Not all the fault of Siemens / Deloitte
The contract was given to Siemens, with consulting by Deloitte, in February 2008 but taken back in-house in summer 2009 after the BBC decided that Siemens were not delivering. Up to then losses were only £11m. The BBC's real blunder was to blindly continue with Siemens solution rather than first evaluate it before continuing in-house.
Tony Hall is full of so much crap.
These execs create the corporate culture we all have to work in. It's full of people who just follow orders. They dot their t's, cross their i's and never cause trouble. It's the Tony Hall's of this world who're responsible for this culture.
It's bizarre how these self-proclaimed masterminds justify their salaries by claiming to manage. The truth emerges and we discover that none of them could be bothered to actually talk to their employees to find out what's actually going on.

Not cool, Adobe: Give the Ninite guys a job, not the middle finger
Lets all ditch Flash
I uninstalled Flash yesterday - all 6 versions (6,7,8,910,11) I found on the PC. The motivation to do this were the regular red blobs in the PCs event log. On finding these errors I googled for a solution. Found nothing, so decided to unistall it. Interesting that the Flash auto-update had already been disabled my me. The only reason I unistalled it were the regular issues I've seen from Adobe updates. I wish I could do the same for Acrobat.
As for the security issues - it's mostly the users fault; if they won't stop visiting dodgy sites and clicking on obvious evil links they're going to find their PCs attacked. The only antivirus I have on my PCs are the ones they force me to use at work. They even put AV on the database servers sitting behind corporate firewalls! What's that? - architecture done with paint-by-numbers?
Gov report: Actually, evil City traders DIDN'T cause the banking crash
Naturally all the money belongs to bankers anyhow...
According to Tim Worstall, CDS don't exist. The US government never bailed out AIG to payoff the hedge funds and others holding these CDS which the London office of AIG never sold to anyone. Tim Worstall offers an alternative version of history where finaciers do no wrong. They don't fabricate CDO mortgages to fail (those hedgies just happened to guess that there would be a massive blowout. They guessed that the US treasury would pay them off because, off course, the US treasury belongs to them - as does all money. They've earned it - they work 16 hour days to make all that money.

Sir James Dyson slams gov's 'obsession' with Silicon Roundabout
Follow the Money
The problem isn't limited to government.
As Josh Lerner wrote recently [see footnotes], more and more venture capital funding is being channeled into IT (social networks, etc) because they can get their capital back within 8-10 years. 4-5 years funding followed by another 4-5 years selling off the business.
Many other business areas [especially hard tech for export] don't all such precise and time limited investments. Venture capital funding for cleantech has bought no rewards (losses if anything). IT/Internet has been the consistent payer for them.
This government takes it's lead from business. It may not seem like it to you (working in IT) that there's a boom going on but, relatively speaking, there is. When it stops there will be little investment in the West in anything. I don't see it getting better.

They never seem to point you in the direction of what is "right"
They do. Just remember that there is no such thing as quick and dirty; there's either clean and working or slow, dirty and horrid. http://allankelly.blogspot.co.uk/2009/09/quick-dirty-myth.html
All sorts of people have written good books on how to write good code. Such as:
Michael Feathers - Working Effectively with Legacy Code
Steve McConnell - Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction
Steve Freeman and Nat Pryce - Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests
Martin Fowler et al - Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code
Bob Martin - Clean Code
Bob Martin - Agile Principles, Patterns and Practices in C#
Bob Martin - Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices
Neal Ford - The Practical Programmer
Furthermore there are now lots of free courses teaching programming on the internet at places like coursera, Udacity, edX. Someone's even written an aggregator for you: http://www.class-central.com/
Re: Recognise this picture?
This is another management problem. By not embedding code-review into normal production process, a problem like this is caused when ever someone tries to introduce code review from the ground up. Comment on someone's code and they'll regard it as either a personal attack. In such places managers are likely to be predominantly ignorant of coding. The best thing you can do is leave such a place.
PS: Code review is one of the few coding practices for which there is overwhelming evidence in favour. Aka - everyone should be doing it (or pairing).

We shouldn't be employing cowboys to write code, unless we want to drive our businesses to a slaughter factory.
Seriously folks. Try to put recruitment into the hands of people who know what they're doing; then there's a chance they'll be able to write good code rather than garbage.
Re: @AndrueC -- Include some comments
In other words, you can't be arsed to update a comment or three after you poke at the code?
No. It's better to break down code blocks into short functions (aka methods) and to use meaningful, explanatory names for these methods. Then your code is self-documenting and there's no possibility of comments becoming detached from code, or worse, comments mis-describing code. The main problem with this technique is a tendency for the less wise to economise by writing short method names, or to think that, just because they have a long method name, the code must be self-documenting. Public API code still needs documenting.
Refactor when you must but put tests in place to prevent breaking changes
redpola : Ultimately, apart from "but the developer likes it" there is no justification from any angle to introduce change for change's sake.
One compelling reason to refactor code is to make it testable by introducing seams or decoupling dependencies. People tend to exaggerate in these forums.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite review
Obsolete by well over 10 years
It still doesn't support epub. The amazon book format is based on mobi pocket book format which is itself based on html 3.2. Html 3.2 has no proper css support. The maker can not easily style these books. It's obsolete by well over 10 years. If Amazon must use a proprietary format they should, at least, keep it up-to-date.
PS: epub is also slightly obsolete but much less so than mobi format.

Is it possible to follow hyperlink with the Nook?
PS: I like the Amazon reader hardware. Shame it can't handle epub. mobi and amazon format books use html 3.2, which hails from 20 years back; no useful css.
Why women won't apply for IT jobs
Women out there - please tell us what you want!

Women out there - please tell us what you want!
You're all wrong
quoting ...
* most want 5 different specialties in one body
* cycnical job ads written to perfectly match the only (internal) candidate that can fill the job
* disconnect between the insane HR departments and the real world
I disagree with these points made early on {repeated later}. Some people I know deliberately ask for more than they need because they only want the best and most experienced developers applying. The perception is that the best developers are several times more productive than the average and that the worst developers will actually cost you by writing rubbish.
[All this is from the kind of informal survey results I build in my mind from having talked about recruitment (with others) for several years now. I go out to several cons and at least 25 after-work meetups each year,]
The issue is the derth of women coders everywhere and who's actually addressing that issue here? If they want cheap techies from outside the UK why aren't they bringing in cheap female techies?
HR don't specify technical requirements - techies do that.
I personally wander how severe the anti-IT peer pressure is that women exert on others?
PS: My comments refer to dev roles.
IP law probe MPs hunt for smoking gun, find plenty of smoke
Less waffle, more evidence please
[quote]an insight into how policy-making within the IPO was driven[/quote]
In the USA, such policy-making has been driven by Disney and Hollywood, their lawyers, lobbyists, and paid cronies in Congress. They've extended copyright law over 11 times since the mid-1970s. Has that generated any 'economic growth' at all? Does IP law, in any way, promote productivity gains? Just show me the evidence. otherwise I must assume Andrew Orlowski is applying similar 'magical thinking' as those he discredits. The theory behind patent law says that the general productivity of the populace is enhanced by publication of inventions (but only if the inventions are thereby applied). Better for us that Google, Oracle (and everyone coding) use best practice. Show me a single patented software invention that has led to any productivity increases in computer programming. Show me evidence - I don't need to read more waffle by Andrew Orlowski. I'll show you loads of open source products that have enhanced my productivity; loads of books and talks promoting ideas held in common (principles, patterns, DRY, SOLID, simple design, TDD, etc) - I can't find a single patent that made me a better (more productive) coder.
Where the evidence?
Bizarre that Andrew Orlowski, who often champions science, can be so wishy-washy and unscientific when it comes to economics. Is that economics for you? - must it always be about magical thinking, blind prejudice and faith. Is that ever any room for evidence in economics?
The USA became the greatest economy in the World in the 19th century when they, more or less, ignored so called intellectual property. In the last 35 years, the era of its downfall, they've passed endless new IP laws to extend and enhace the IP.
Patent law was created to ecourage manufacturers to make their ideas public so that everyone could use best-practice and the general productivity of the population be thereby enhanced. You may think that's just quaint 19th century economic thinking but, pray, prove that we do economics better today. Where's the evidence?
[quote]Yeates also noted that officials had downgraded the contribution of creative industries from 8 per cent of GDP to 3 per cent overnight, much to everyone's surprise.[/quote]
Exactly what is GDP anyhow? Does it bear much (or any) relationship to 'wealth creation'. Why is GDP so important to Andrew Orlowski? Why not discuss productivity increases, as the driver of economic growth? I'm keen to know how to enhance my programming productivity by patenting so-called software inventions. Will these inventions help me with fewer bugs, enhanced readability, better maintenance, etc. No. Software patents do not create wealth, but only serve to move it from the many to the few. [but they don't even do that very well - ask Oracle!]. How will 90 years copyright protection for my source code encourage me to write more and better code? Given that code is obsolete within a couple of years [we will always write it better the 2nd time around], how are long (c) terms beneficial to programmers?
What magical thinking can anyone bring to bear on these questions?

UK could have flooded world with iPods - Sir Humphrey
Apply more scrutiny than top scientific journals give article submissions
Is it some kind of coincidence that US politicos, EU and UK bureaucrats are all considering patent and copyright 'reforms' at this time?
1. We need to free up the patent offices so that they can use their revenue to pay competent people, who aren't rushed, to only grant patents for actual inventions. Ideally each patent should be examined by a committee of experts, in much the same way that top scientific journals examine each article before publication; but with far more scrutiny.
2. All patent applications should be open to scrutiny when an application is made so that the application can be challenged by interested parties.
3. Given 1 and 2, I feel that the likely hood of bad patents being awarded will be reduced from 99% to 0.001% so I'm not too worried about a review and challenge process for bad patents. Still, something needs to be in place just in case...
PS: Being a software developer, I'm amazed at the number of good developers/entrepreneurs I meet who brought successful new products to market and sold out at the earliest opportunity. It's not only the City who are risk averse in the UK - it's a culture right through society.
Single threaded event queue servers + html5 WebSockets rule!
We don't need no stinking threads to do multi-tasking. We have Node.js running in only one thread.
All these guys slagging off JavaScript need to wake up and start living in today's world. JavaScript is Turing complete and can be compiled rather than merely interpreted. The limitation to 1 thread is an advantage because it forces multitasking via an asynch event queue + callbacks; thereby saving masses of RAM and letting us scale to millions of 'processes' with ease.
JavaScript can do much of what Ruby and Python do. There are ways to overcome the natural lack of namespaces and the unfortunate default of global variables. Use objects to enforce namespacing and make variables local to functions - which are, of course, themseleves objects. I'm recommending Douglas Crockford's 'JavaScript - the Good Parts'.
Html5 WebSockets rule especially when I can simulate VoIP with them! Html5 WebSockets will revolutionise the web more so than Ajax. We will, at last, gain the illusion of client/server apps running in real time - on a single-threaded server!
We have the technology now. We just need to write the apps.
'Event driven' is not dependent on multi-threading. We are not simplifying multi-threading here. We are abolishing it.

McAfee false-positive glitch fells PCs worldwide
It must've been sabotage
The only way this can be explained is that someone working for McAfee must've sabotaged this update.
The change that a virus would have the same "fingerprint" as a system file is minimal and the chance that McAfee would just roll out the update without testing is tiny. That leaves only one logical explanation.
Chrome feels the need - the need for speed
But they all use too much memory.
As I write, I have 5 Chrome tabs open. Task Manager shows that there are 7 copies of chrome.exe running using a total of 150 Mbytes.
Can someone explain to me why it needs to use 150 Mbyes of of memory to display 5 web pages which, probably total no more than 2 Mbytes (including all graphics).
Firefox has a similar problem except it doesn't make multiple copies of itself. Even after I've shut Firefox down there's often a 75Mbyte (or so) Firefox process running in the background.
Give Chrome its due, it's fast.
Installing Safari and opening up 5 tabs resulted in 1 Safari process running, but taking up 175 Mbytes.
So there's not much to choose between Safari and Chrome. Both take up too much memory, Both are faster than most other browsers at rendering.
TBH, it's not speed which worries me. It's the reckless way these thing eat up my memory.
Speed is mainly dependent upon how the websites have been programmed and deployed. The browser is just a bit part player in the speed stakes.

PS: As for PHP - why would anyone waste their time with that when they could be coding in GWT or RoR?

South African survives exploding fridge attack
Environmentally safe!
I bet it was one of those modern 'green' fridges. They're called Green because the refrigerants are supposed to be environmentally safe. By 'environmentally safe' they mean safe for mother earth - as in not a threat to global warming or the ozone layer. They don't mean environmentally safe for the poor bugger who has to use them. They will be using hydrocarbon gases as refrigerants, which, when mixed with air, are explosive.
How to be an instant Web me-2.0 developer
Too long for a comedy piece.
I agree with David Whitney. It was rather too long for a comedy piece.
On the strength of what people have been saying about it, I'm giving GWT a long close look. If all goes well, I'll be able to ditch the technology I'm currently using then I'll be just another Java coder. Then I won't need to write (or read) another line of JavaScript ever again because GWT does that for me. Oh, and the Java-to-JavaScript translator really does work (so I'm told). I bet Verity has never bothered using GWT to write actual applications.

Mozilla guns for Guinness world record with Firefox 3.0

In my experience the problem is web developers not bothering to read up on the 'standard'. OK, maybe not the people here but those in some of the mum & pop stores.
As for Opera, FF and Safari supposedly supporting W3C 'standards', do the really? Do they support XSLT 2.0 yet?

GM plants are the way forward.
By the way, chemists against bio-fuel are not new. Just read what was written in sci.chem many years ago.
Bio-fuel could be made to work. First we need to improve plant photosynthesis - it is, perhaps, them most inefficient natural process known. The problem is that enzyme: Rubisco - it only converts a few molecules of carbon dioxide per second. It should be easy to create GM plants that grow at about tens times the rate of current plants. A few billion £ invested will sort the problem out. The GM plants created (using a Rubisco substitute) should also be able to grow using far less water so the world's deserts could bloom. These bio-fuel plants could be planted in what is now desert.
Tools vendors stuck on UML and agility
Make UML into a programming language
Matt Stephens last suggestion is pure bull. However I like the idea of being able to code using graphical+text code rather than just pure text. But the CASE tool should actually produce a working program so UML diagram makers need to concentrate on that aspect - on turning UML into a full featured programming language; anything in-between is not really worth having.
The point at which these graphical tools turn into programming languages will be the point at which they take off.
Don't bother with using UML to document your work; use it as Agile programmers do.
Wikipedia black helicopters circle Utah's Traverse Mountain
So who's word do you trust?
I read the article and comments. These are the conclusions I came to.
* The Wikipedia critics (here) are a collection of post-modern, relativist, conspiracy theorists.
* If I want to find something out it's much faster to use Wikipedia than Google, and both are much faster than going into central London to visit the British Library.
PS: Why are Wikipedia critics posting anonymously here?
Note to Bob:
* You're excluded from my first generalisation about critics, made above.
* I don't think they'd need secure certificates. Wouldn't a GUID do just as well? However I fail to see how Wikipedia is supposed to get hold of a "good grasp on the identity of its editors", or why a secure certificate would even help in that regard. People will always be able to set up multiple (pseudo-anonymous) identities on the internet.
Only bicarbonate of soda can save mankind!
Seems better than nothing
frank denton: "How they manage to produce 'better than food grade baking soda' is a mystery to me".
- I suppose they use fractional crystallisation. They can throw most of the bicarb away (with the heavy metals and other waste). They only need to make a small amount of 'food grade baking soda' to justify their claim.
This is the 2nd time, in the space of a week, I've come across this idea from independent sources. I guess the electricity required to make NaOH from brine is much less than that produced by burning carbon to make CO2. That reaction: NaOH + CO2 => NaHCO3 also creates heat which is what, I believe, power stations use to make electricity.
- I personally think the biggest problem will be getting rid of all that Chlorine made by the electrolysis of brine. PS: Chlorine was used as a poison gas in the 'Great War'.

Relax your bodyTo ease your worries, relax your body, said Dr. John McLaughlin, an interventional radiologist and co-leader of the Meditation Community of Fredericksburg. Swim, do tai chi, run, stretch -- whatever works. "It's a positive feedback loop," McLaughlin said. "The more the body can relax, the more the mind can relax." Without exercise, meditating is harder. "You can't take somebody who has incredibly high anxiety and make them sit down and not move for 20 minutes," McLaughlin said.

The debate over the BP refinery in Whiting, Indiana is going from the water to the air.
Government officials and environmentalists in Illinois want a review of an air pollution variance issued by Indiana.
The change would allow BP to continue to let the same amount of emissions into the air rather than cutting it in half.
The federal government recently doubled its estimates from the plant and has forced the change.
An environmental judge is expected to respond in the coming weeks.

I just recently bought a KitchenAid stand mixer and a Bialetti pizza baking stone. This recipe is a combination of the Crusty Pizza Dough in the KitchenAid manual and the Pizza Margherita recipe that came with my stone. (If you don't have a pizza stone you can use an inverted baking sheet.) Don't let the simplicity of the pizza sauce fool you....very tasty!

Nov 22, 2012There are curmudgeons out there who will skip this game because of the liberal Mario throwbacks, but they're missing the forest for the trees. Inventive level design, loads of content, and the shockingly profound boost mode make this one of the best 2D platformers out there.
Dec 7, 2012New Super Mario Bros U is truly a "new" game in the series. A Must Buy for every Mario fan on the Planet.
Feb 19, 2013Yes, the new 2D adventure is not a demonstration of Wii U's potential, but it's extremely competent as a plataformer, adding some elements that probably will accompany the series in the future and making, though perhaps unconsciously with its final boss, the eyes of players sparkle and give us a taste of what to expect of Mario in its next tridimensional adventure.
Nov 30, 2012Nintendo rediscovers fun for the core gamer: New Super Mario Bros. U is hardly surprising, but delivers quite a challenge with its classic jump & run roots.
Nov 17, 2012We were surprised, excited and twinkly-eyed during an excellent finale. [Christmas 2012, p.28]
Nov 29, 2012The latest entry in the endless Mario series is hardly "new" in concept, but doesn't fail to entertain and to represent yet another excellent platformer.
Nov 18, 2012Everything about New Super Mario Bros. U is pretty exciting, except the game itself. Is it possible that this is the best game in the "New" series to date--not to mention one of the best exclusive Wii U games on the market, by default--and at the same time kind of flatly uninteresting? Apparently so. The game is perfectly well made for what it is, and I had plenty of fun playing it in short bursts here and there, but at this point the series' by-the-numbers design philosophy is starting to lend the name "New Super Mario Bros." a degree of unintentional irony.

Jun 21, 2014I just finished the first player story mode and I have to say -- I am impressed! It was easy to learn, but difficult to master. Some levels I died more than I'd like to admit -- but I always got a chuckle reading other players' postings to miiverse. Overall, I'd give this a 10/10. Next up -- New Super Luigi U!!!… Expand
Dec 3, 2012This is the first new super mario brothers that I don't feel is lacking. It looks beautiful and the gamelplay is as good as ever. But want I like most is the ammount of content. I feel like there is so much to do and the challenge and rush mode is something that keeps bringing me back. I'd be suprised if you had a wii u and didn't have this game. If you don't have it, get it, you won't be disappointed… Expand
Jan 6, 2013New Super Mario Bros. U is a safe game that doesn't really show off the power of Nintendo's new home console. The gamepad isn't used in a new and inventive way, the graphics are in HD, but only in 720p, not 1080p, (which, after playing Rayman Ledgends, baffles me) and in terms of Mario games, this one doesn't do anything super special. However, it does do something that the "New" series has struggled to do for the past 6 years, and that is to really make a Mario game that isn't just good and or even great, but to make a 2D platforming Mario game that recaptures what the original Mario games had on the NES and SNES and make it amazing and maybe even better. This game, NSMBU, is easily the best of the "New" series and, in my opinion, is one of the best Mario games out there and if you have a Wii U, you NEED to get this game. It's a fun game that is actually challenging, another thing the other games in the "New" series have struggled to do. It has enough original ideas to make in feel fresh, and it has enough of the old concepts to make it fell like a true Mario game. Going back to the challenge aspect, the game is hard. It's not the kind of hard that will make you want to eat a toxic mushroom, but ti's the kind of hard that will make you think, "should I throw the controller on the floor and buy a new system, or should I just try to resist?" And the integration with Miiverse is fantastic. Let's say you die on a level 10 times (which WILL happen). A little prompt will come up asking, "Would you like to post your thoughts about this course to Miiverse," or, "would you like to write a letter to Bowser about this course on Miiverse," or a few other questions. It's nice to say, "Don't do ______ because of ______," or see someone say "DEAR BOWSER: I HATE YOU!!!" That being said, did I see some inappropriate drawings and words? Yes, I did. To summarize, New Super Mario Bros. U is the best game in the "New" series, and is a fantastic game in general. Not only that, but it is one of the best Mario games out there, which is welcome after New Super Mario Bros. 2. However, the game is a safe game, and not one that dares to push the limits of the system or Mario. So, if you're looking for a fun Mario game or a fantastic 2D platforming adventure, PICK THIS GAME UP. However, if you're looking for something that is truly monumental and defines the Wii U and what it can do, or is a Mario game that will be remembered as the holy grail of Mario games for eons to come, you might want to wait for the next 3D Mario game that might come out this year or the year after that.… Expand
Mar 20, 2013I love that Nintendo still releases side-scrolling Mario games. Super Mario Bros. 3 is one of my favorite games, and I still enjoy playing its style of gaming. New Super Mario Bros. U takes on the traditional formula with added HD graphics, a new power-up, challenge modes, and most importantly all-new levels.
Nintendo's focus was on gameplay and it hit the nail on the head. First and foremost it is important to note that NSMBU is an extremely fun game. The storyline is essentially non-existent, the graphics are improved but nothing to rave about, and the challenge modes are a nice addition, but this game prides itself on side-scrolling goodness and Nintendo does it best.
Simply, if you like side-scrolling platforming, you'll love NSMBU as it perfectly executes the genre.… Expand
Feb 23, 2013It's a New Super Mario Bros. game. There isn't much else to say. If you like Mario games than you will like this one. The kids like it, I like it, my wife likes it. Good graphics and controls as usual.… Expand
Jan 9, 2014This game is fun, but it is not as good as the Wii version. The game looks great in HD, is loads of fun in co-op and the levels are well designed. However, this game gets very boring after beating the main campaign and there are very few levels that are worth repeating. But the game is enjoyable, just not a must own.… Expand
Sep 30, 2013I remember when new mario games by Nintendo EAD were always genre defying AAA epics. It literally feels like i've beaten this game before and it literally feels like Nintendo is lazier than ever.
Too lazy to go with a 4th character instead using a color palette swapped toad, too lazy for actual minibosses reminicent of the yoshis island series, to lazy to put any real heart into their new mario games instead pimping out a cheap SUB-PAR completely acceptable standard product unlike in the olden days before wii fit, wii sports, wii play, and wii party when nintendo actually thought they had to put effort and content into their games for them to sell.… Expand

NYFW may have only just begun, but with over 40 shows already presented there's plenty of trend-making material for we fashion boffins to start analysing...
Alexander Wang S/S'14 [Catwalking]
Some of the new generation big'uns like Prabal Gurung, Alexander Wang and Altuzarra have now presented their vision for the spring/summer 2014 landscape; which includes logo-branding, elegantly louche and sexy separates, a futuristic slant on mid-century couture and some seriously luxed-up sportswear. Smaller – but equally exciting – labels are also following some of these leads, as well as carving out many of their own. Here are the five big things we've noticed so far...
1. Elevated Sportswear:
L-R: Rag & Bone, Lacoste, Alexander Wang, Louise Goldin, Cushnie et Ochs [Catwalking]
NYFW is no stranger to the sportswear trend – the Big Apple's designers practically invented it - and it has been exuberantly mined on repeat for the past few summers. For the new season ahead, forget the standard gym kit and go-faster into ultra-luxury. Louise Goldin's body-skimming Tron-like lines pleased the FROW, Rag & Bone's colourful riff on the cricket jumper will no doubt be a street style favourite and Lacoste's new take on tennis gear has hot-day-dressing sorted.
2. Striped Line-Up:
L-R: Altuzarra, Jill Stuart, Peter Som [Catwalking], Jonathan Simkhai, Ostwald Helgason [Style.com]
Stripes may be a classic summer print go-to, but you won't find an average Breton on the runways of NYFW. Instead, think of eye-boggling monochrome graphic lines, like those at Peter Som, or jazzy chunks of colour as so artfully spliced onto skirts and shoes at Ostwald Helgason. Altuzarra's cotton shirting separates provide a ladylike route for showing your summer stripes, should the rest all be too fun.
3. Retro-Future:
Prabal Gurung's vision of the future via the middle of the 20th Century [Catwalking]
The '40s, '50s and '60s have all been plunged for inspiration, with each and every decade being catapulted into the future via high-shine fabrics, an injection of sportswear or by a rejection of traditional dressing rules: like clashing prints, vibrantly mismatched colours or hi-tec accessorising. Prabal Gurung leads the back-to-the-future-and-then-back-again time travellers, with Creatures of the Wind and Honor putting in some radical twists on retro, too.
L-R: Suno, Honor, Creatures of the Wind [Catwalking]
4. Sterling Silver:
L-R: Jason Wu, Rag & Bone, Suno, Altuzarra [Catwalking]
Not only has this gold's value continued to increase in the jewellery market, it's enjoyed a mighty strong presence on the runways for the past few years. Now the next mega molten to step into the ring is silver – whether poured into dresses at Altuzarra, iridescent in sportswear at Rag & Bone or used in fancy brocades at Suno, it's a sterling effort.
5. Top Buttoning:
Creatures of the Wind, Alexander Wang [Catwalking]
We've long been waiting for this menswear styling trick to make the leap over into womenswear and now it's happening: time to leave your top button done up ladies, this is your new silhouette. Of course, chaps don't do it the Alexander Wang way – with an expanse of toned tummy on show – but with more of the Creatures of the Wind tack. That's a jacket layered over a tee, shirt or jumper.
'So what is Grazia 360?' you ask. In celebration of fashion weeks around the world, we're bringing you an all-angles look at how the shows come together.

As you search for your perfect apartment, please keep in mind that rental rates (including specials and discounts) and availability are very fluid in the apartment industry. Based on many factors, the rental rates (including specials and discounts) and availability can actually change not just daily, but hourly, if not even more quickly. While our advertisers do take steps to keep their information current, the rental rates or availability you may find here now at ForRent.com may not be the same as when you contact the communities.
