ccording to various reports, Verizon Communications has hired advisers to prepare a possible $100 billion bid for the shares of Verizon Wireless that it does not already own, which are currently controlled by its British partner, Vodafone. If the deal goes through for that sum (and it may go for more), it would be the third-largest acquisition in history, according to Reuters.
The report is just the latest in a flurry of merger activity in the industry, possibly setting the stage for another round of ultra-gigantic telecommunications deals.
According to Paul Taylor and David Gelles at the Financial Times, the source of the latest push for consolidation can be partly traced — surprise, surprise — to Apple. The wireless industry's top carriers — Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Clearwire, and MetroPCS — had coexisted rather peacefully after a round of mega-megers in the early to mid-2000s. Then in 2007, Apple released the iPhone, launching a new industry of smartphones that required huge amounts of data. Since then, carriers have desperately tried to expand their networks, and mergers and acquisitions among the majors have accelerated.
Here, a quick ten-year history of major mergers and acquisitions in the wireless industry:
2004: AT&T and Cingular Wireless closed a $41 billion merger (a deal which Vodafone actually bid on and lost).
2005: Sprint and Nextel closed a $36 billion merger — but their networks ran on different technologies, and they were never able to fully combine infrastructures.
2009: Verizon bought Alltel for $28.1 billion.
2011: AT&T tried to buy T-Mobile, but anti-trust regulators blocked the deal.
2013: Just last week, Dish Network offered to buy Sprint for a cool $25.5 billion.
2013: On Wednesday, MetroPCS shareholders approved an acquisition of T-Mobile
Verizon and AT&T remain the two largest carriers, which means regulators have them by the bit, says the Financial Times. But both companies still seem bent on expansion. If Vodafone does agree to sell its 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless — and if regulators don't block the deal — it could make Vodafone, with its European telecom holdings, an attractive takeover target for other telecom companies like, say, AT&T, suggest Reuters' Soyoung Kim and Kate Holton.
So with Verizon and AT&T looking to expand, what does that mean for the rest of the top carriers? The Financial Times writes:
All these deals may just be precursors to a merger of the third and fourth largest players. Many in the industry believe that neither Sprint nor T-Mobile will be able to independently compete with Verizon and AT&T, and will be pressured to merge in the coming years. [Financial Times]
In other words, we can expect to see a lot of activity in the telecom industry over the next year.

No I don't think so. You said its only the first quarter. Bring it up to the great grades you are used to this next quarter to balance it out and then finish the year with great grades to give you a high GPA for the year.

No. A lot of people who start those types of classes make a crappy grade. You just have to get used to what the curriculum requires you to do. Remember, keep trying because you're in an AP class for a reason. Keep your head up; you'll do fine!

No-you just need to try harder to bring up the grade before the semester grades come out, that is what will effect your year end grade report the average between the first and second semester.

Chance was the first baseman in the double-play trio of "Tinker to Evers to Chance," immortalized by Franklin Adams in the poem "Baseball's Sad Lexicon." He was dubbed "The Peerless Leader" as he led the Cubs to pennants in 1906-08 and 1910 as their player-manager. Some called him "Husk" because he was husky, strong, and aggressive. He made his opinions known and never backed down from an argument. He ran his clubs with a clenched fist, coming down hard on any player who gave less than 100%. Eventually, he had trouble hearing criticism, or anything at all. Since he crowded the plate, he too often was beaned, and his hearing was eventually affected. As a result, he developed a peculiar whine which grated on his teammates and opponents.
Chance reached the majors as a catcher and part-time outfielder with Chicago, but when Johnny Kling came along, he shifted to first base. He led the NL with 67 stolen bases in 1903, and with 57 in 1906, when his 103 runs scored were also the league high. In only six seasons (1903-08) did he play in more than 100 games, but he batted better than .300 in the first four of them.
Chance's great success came as a young manager. He was 27 when he took over the Chicago club from Frank Selee in mid-1905; in seven full seasons, he won at least 100 games four times, and never finished lower than third. His .664 winning percentage (768-389) stands as the best in Cubs history. In 1906 the Cubs won 116 games - a major league record - while losing just 36. They lost to the White Sox in the '06 World Series, but defeated the Tigers in the next two. Chance led all participants in the '08 WS with a .421 batting average.
Chance moved to the Yankees in 1913, but ill health forced him to retire with New York in seventh place in 1914. He returned to his native California, and owned and managed the Los Angeles (Pacific Coast League) team in 1916-17. He returned East in 1923 to try to rebuild the Red Sox, decimated by the sale of stars (including Babe Ruth) to the Yankees, but finished in the cellar. He was to manage the White Sox in 1924, but his health worsened, and he died that September. In 1946 Chance, Joe Tinker, and Johnny Evers were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

SS12 Runway Report:
Get in the Game
Sporty luxe has made its way onto the accessories scene this season. From the athleticwear-dominated runways of NYFW comes a colorful pile-up of bags and shoes, some more literally adherent to the genre than others. For instance, Anteprima's suede tennis bag is adorable, but could actually be used to stow your rackets. However, some are just whimsical interpretations of the medium meant for wearing to a courtside seat at the Country Club. From platform wedges hidden inside high-top sneakers to backpacks fit for an athletic schoolgirl, this trend runs the gamut from the high-brow to the low-brow.

Rockies, OF Tyler Colvin agree to deal |
DENVER (AP) - The Colorado Rockies avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year deal with versatile outfielder Tyler Colvin on Friday.
Colvin will earn $2,275,000 this season. He made $481,000 last season.
Colvin hit .290 with 18 home runs and 72 RBIs last season. He played all three outfield positions and first base.
The 27-year-old Colvin was obtained by the Rockies on Dec. 8, 2011, in a trade that sent Ian Stewart and Casey Weathers to the Chicago Cubs.
On Wednesday, the Rockies agreed to one-year contracts with righty Wilton Lopez and lefty Josh Outman. Lopez was picked up by Colorado last month in a deal that sent pitchers Alex White and Alex Gillingham to Houston.
Outman appeared in 27 games last season for the Rockies, going 1-3 with an 8.19 ERA.

As the market moves the company can sell shares. This is the best way to do an offering. The company can sell shares over a 5 year period for an example...this is not happening inn a day, or a week, or a month.
The stockholders will not even feel this. no one can tell you how many shares like some profess, because it will depend on the price of the stock. The company might not sell any shares until DRYS is say $5.50.
So pleas don's make sweeping projections. This really is the best way to raise money for the health of the company and the stock holder :-)

Subj: Action Alerts TRADE -- CIEN
Thursday, December 12, 2013 8:47 a.m. EST
-- Buying 1,000 shares of CIEN.
This morning Ciena (CIEN:Nasdaq) reported earnings for its
fiscal 4Q and issued 1Q guidance.
We were expecting a solid quarter and conservative guidance.
Instead we got an earnings miss, a revenue beat and
better-than-feared guidance. The stock is down in the
premarket and we'll add to our position. We like the
long-term story of CIEN, its market share growth in optical
and its new products and strong trends in the upgrade cycle
from the service providers and cable companies.
We'll add 1,000 shares, which have a bid/ask of
$20.33/$20.35, ahead of the conference call.
We see the reaction as overdone, especially on a blowout
revenue number and record backlog. Fiscal 4Q earnings missed
consensus by 8 cents a share and came in at 16 cents a
share. Revenues rose 8.4% q/q and 25.3% y/y and easily beat
consensus at $583.4 million.
Revenue by product beat in every segment. Converged packet
optical was $351 million and is now 60.1% of total revenues
(up from 56.1% q/q and 51.1% y/y), packet networking was
$61.1 million, optical transport $52.6 million and
software/services at $118 million. The issue is that
operating expenses rose 10.6% q/q and 9.7% y/y to $210
million and was the cause of the earnings miss. Our sense is
that the company had higher sale comps because of the strong
orders and that accelerators kicked in. We'll get more on
the call, but with a book to bill north of 1 and a record
backlog (discussed in the press release), underlying demand
is strong.
Guidance was also better than feared on all metric,s with
revenues at $515-545 million vs. $537 million consensus,
adjusted gross margins in the low 40% range and for
operating expenses to be $204 million. It will also transfer
its listing from the Nasdaq to the NYSE on Dec. 23.

My summer reading preferences are so particular they have, at times, stopped me from reading at all. I need a romance for a train trip — for obvious reasons. When it's hot, I prefer something with no climate congruence at all; I've never enjoyed Anna Karenina so much as I did on the beach (that romance is a train exception — er ... for obvious reasons). When I'm on a plane trip, I like a passel of good young-adult novels, filled with cliffhangers, reversals and quick emotion. It's a mood makeover in flight.

You've heard the expression Bright Lights, Big City. For many people, city living can mean long hours at work and play and never enough sleep. Now a new study suggests that cities can have a very similar effect on another group of residents: birds. NPR's Rhitu Chatterjee reports.

Delete tutorial redesign pages?[edit]
Looking at Category:Wikipedia tutorials to see what's useful for WP:Workshops and found all these incomplete old redesign pages of the tutorials. Shouldn't they be gotten rid of to avoid future confusion? CarolMooreDC 03:14, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
learning preferences[edit]
all this text - is there a way to add a video for those of us who prefer to learn through hearing or doing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lesnord (talk • contribs) 15:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- It seems one of them has it. Definitely something that WP:Videos project should work on, though I don't know how active they are. Will keep in mind since I'm trying to help fix up these pages, but so many projects, so little time! CarolMooreDC 19:12, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- I found the videos to be extremely helpful, I wish there had been more. It helped clear up some confusion for me and made the entire process much easier. --Rlwomalley (talk) 21:02, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
Citing sources[edit]
I think the subsection "Citing sources" should be at the very top of the "Keep in Mind" page, with its importance very strongly emphasised. Lack of sufficient citations is by far the #1 problem on Wikipedia. - Cal Engime (talk) 20:15, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Expand to an assessed tutorial?[edit]
Hi all, there is not much activity here, but I'll try it anyway: We currently have tremendous problems at Wikipedia:School and university projects/Polytechnic of Namibia. The course is too big, there are too many violations of WP:COMPETENCE. I was thinking if it would be possible to combine the tutorial with some sort of assessment, in order to check if the user successfully completed it.
For instance, Wikipedia:Tutorial/Editing could be expanded to creating an own page in user space, Assessment 1, where then someone could check if the page exists, and if it had been created with a useful edit summary. Wikipedia:Tutorial/Formatting could end with asking the user to create Assessment 2 in user space, and someone could check whether it contains headlines, bold, italic text, and so on.
Depending on the required level, one could even have policy-based assignments like Assignment 12: Copy this page to your user space. Then remove as many policy violations from this text as you find, one by one, and link the relevant Wikipedia policy in the respective edit summary.
If everything was successfully completed, editors could get a badge of some sort, and could get listed as having taken the entry test of Wikipedia.
I see the following advantages:
- Students in Wikipedia projects could be asked by their lecturers to complete this entry test, instead of submitting content at a time when they are not ready to.
- Lecturers could award some marks for passing the test.
- Course coordinators could ask their tutors to pass the test before they get a contract supervising WP newbies.
- At a certain---higher---level, one could even base admission to places like NPP on such a test.
Happy about any feedback, Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 16:16, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Help_Project has been working on this sort of issue, for this set of documents and other related instructional materials. I've worked a lot on WP:Workshop more for local wikipedia group trainings. If you go to that page you also will find some of the Wikimedia projects that might provide you with more help.

What's Wrong With My Reference?[edit]
Hi anyone there? Of course you are. I have a problem that needs to be answered. I was working on a reference in the tutorial sandbox and when I was finished I previewed it and there was just a blue semi-small 1 there is that supposed to happen? I mean I know it is but what about the words that I used when I referenced them. This is causing confusion within my mental stability and I don't think I will be able to edit, make an article, or reference anything without knowing what the problem is. Please respond. Also I would like the person who responds to this respond on my talk page. Thank You. CFyre (talk) 16:20, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

This is the only way I have been able to type a reply which is about replying and other such features that has no explanation on them at all
So the first question is, How do you write replies to people when the reply option does not exist. I should be able to find a clickable option somewhere on this page, to post a reply and it doesn't exist If something needs to be done, then don't assume someone is magically supposed to know. Fully detailed instructions on how to do everything in the wiki needs to be show along with voice narrated tutorials showing what they're clicking, where, how they knew enough on what to use,
I want a picture I provide to show up, as well as a video like people have...Why is there no explanation on how to do either of these 2 things anywhere.

Because the primary method here is to use VisualEditor, why does it say Done the edit summary? Previewed the page?? George8211 (talk | mail) 18:35, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
- There's actually discussion ongoing right now about whether VisualEditor should be enabled by default. If it is decided that it should, this page and many others will need to be updated. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 13:38, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
To VE or not to VE[edit]
While I accept that VE is the future, that it's easier for new editors and that it should be emphasized here, there are still many pages that need to be edited the old way - including the drafts at WP:Articles for creation, one of the first places many new editors (at least those who start by writing an article) will encounter. Thus I'd consider it rather counterproductive not to cover the wikisource in the tutorial any more, or to relegate it to a mere footnote. Huon (talk) 02:53, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- Somehow we need to keep both available. The current version is a very good explanation of how to use VE, but what's actually needed here is the old version. -- John of Reading (talk) 14:05, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm always cold. Even in the summer, when A/C is on everywhere.
So I need cover-ups to wear to work, that can be easily taken off when I step outside into the heat.
This top is so versatile: it is knit top-down (so no seams at the sides), and has a draw-string that goes through the front panels and across the neck, allowing it to be tied as a common wrap, gathered and tied at the front, or even behind the neck.
A perfect little summer cardi to wear in the office, or on the beach in the spring wind.
I'm especially proud of the beautiful folded hems (that I stitched by hand) – they make it look pretty on the inside as well!
Yarn: 100% microfiber ("Adeline" by Vitalgo).

New Sonics to get more time as illness, injury strike
SEATTLE -- Ira Newble and Adrian Griffin weren't given much time to ease into their new surroundings in Seattle.
With illness and injuries sidelining four SuperSonics, the newly acquired Griffin and Newble were expected to get more minutes that they previously thought in their first game with Seattle on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Seattle was without starting forward Chris Wilcox (flu), reserve swingman Damien Wilkins (wrist) and center Robert Swift (knee). Donyell Marshall, also part of the 11-player trade between Seattle, Chicago and Cleveland just before Thursday's trade deadline, also missed Sunday's game with illness.
"It's changing every day," Seattle coach P.J. Carlesimo said of his rotations with the newly acquired players. "It's all just kind of seeing what happens."
The Lakers weren't without their own problems, with starting forward Vladimir Radmanovic out after straining his right calf on Saturday night in the Lakers' 113-95 win over the Clippers. Radmanovic already missed 11 games in January with a sprained right ankle.
Luke Walton started in his place.
"We hope it's day-to-day," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "Don't have any understanding of what happened. That's the mystery about it. He was moving at the defensive end and cramped. If it's cramps, it's one thing. If it's a torn or pulled calf, it's another."
Of Seattle's new acquisitions, Newble was perhaps the most stunned, going from last year's Eastern Conference champs and being a teammate of LeBron James in Cleveland to a Sonics team destined for the lottery yet again.
Newble, Griffin and Marshall came to Seattle as part of Thursday's blockbuster deal that saw Seattle send Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West to Cleveland. The Sonics also acquired Francisco Elson and a 2009 first-round pick from San Antonio in a trade for Kurt Thomas a day earlier.
Newble had started 13 of 41 games with Cleveland and played at least 20 minutes in six of Cleveland's last eight games. Newble watched all the rumors on the Internet circulate in the days leading up to the trade deadline, but was still shocked when his agent called at 2:59 p.m. Eastern time to let him know the trade was going through.
"It was a shock at first, but it's part of the business. You have to adjust quick," Newble said. "It's a good opportunity I have for a team with young guys that need to grow."
Griffin had played in just 28 games with Chicago.
Wilkins injured his wrist taking a hard fall in Friday's win over Portland, but still had 13 points off the bench. Newble, Griffin and Mickael Gelabale will pickup Wilkins' minutes.
The outlook for Swift is murky, after the young center tore the meniscus in his right knee Thursday night in Portland. He will have a second opinion in Los Angeles, but that exam has not been scheduled.
Both Elson and Marshall will likely share the minutes initially earmarked for Swift in the final two months of the season.

Surf lifesaving conjures up images of cool, blond surfing types hanging out on beaches through the summer.
There's also those super athletes you see on television doing incredible races where they swim, paddle boards and run like the wind.
If that sounds like something you'd like, you don't have to leave town – it happens right here in Nelson.
The Nelson Surf Lifesaving Club sprang from Marine Rescue, which started in the 1930s. In 1989 the organisation affiliated with Surf Life Saving New Zealand and along with the coastguard has worked out of the Sealord-funded Marine Rescue Centre on Wakefield Quay for about 20 years.
Last summer the Nelson club provided support for the Port Nelson Summer Sea Swim Series. Once a week throughout the summer, two boats, manned by qualified lifeguards, turned out to accompany the 150 swimmers taking part in the series.
It was reassuring for swimmers to know that whatever happened, there were qualified people on hand.
When they're not looking after the sea swims, the club watches over swimmers at Tahunanui Beach on Sunday afternoons during summer. On Sunday mornings and on some Thursday afternoons before the swims, they hold training sessions for their members.
Membership stands at 38 under-14s and 32 lifeguards over the age of 14, but there's room to grow and the opportunity to join over the winter.
Right now, club members are training for pool events, which involve a progression from local to world championships.
"Pool champs is good surf lifesaving winter training," says club representative Ed Steenbergen.
"Events include obstacle swims, manikin tow and carries, with brick carry for the junior grades, with variants with fins, as well as relays.
"We plan on holding three 25m pool champs events in Richmond in August/September; the Tasman area 25m pool champs are in Greymouth in September; the South Island 50m pool champs are yet to be confirmed; the national 50m pool champs are in Wellington in October; and Rescue 2012 world championships in Adelaide in November.
"We invite all interested swimmers to an introduction session 9-11am on Sunday, June 3, at ASB Pool in Richmond to come and try the events and equipment."
Swimming for surf lifesaving isn't the only swimming going on over the winter.
More than 40 Nelson tri club members have qualified for the world championships in triathlon and aquathlon, to be held in Auckland in October.
Many of them train at 6am several mornings a week at one of the region's two pools.
As well, a growing number of participants in the Port Nelson series are keeping up their form with regular pool sessions.
Although Nelson's blessed with good coaches, swimmers are always keen for something new. National swim coach Ally Boggs is heading our way on June 16-17 offering a combination of one-on-one and group sessions. Top triathletes Richard Ussher and Britta Martin have trained under Boggs.
It's interesting that the most popular have been the one-on-one sessions, so Boggs has rejigged things for her Nelson visit to accommodate demand.
If you'd like more information about Nelson Surf Lifesaving, the Ally Boggs swim sessions in June, details of Nelson swim coaches or training groups of different abilities you can swim with over the winter, please email me.

BUY HERE - PSE TAC Elite and Ordnance Crossbow Review
The other unique feature of the TAC 15i that contributes to its excellent accuracy is its vertical bow style arrow rest and nocking loop. The TAC 15i comes with a whisker biscuit arrow rest similar to what you would find on a vertical bow. The arrow makes contact only with the whisker biscuit when fired rather than riding down a rail like all other crossbows. The whisker biscuit rest can be fine-tuned and even paper tuned to ensure the arrow is flying perfectly straight and true. There is no tuning available on crossbows where the bolt rides down a rail. There is also more friction when crossbow bolts ride down a rail than there is for TAC 15i arrows, which only make contact with the whisker biscuit rest.
That friction between the bolt and rail results in lost speed and accuracy. Not so with the TAC 15i. Weve actually taken this tunable rest and less friction concept a step further and offer a drop-away style arrow rest, where the TAC 15i arrow doesnt contact anything when fired. The TAC 15i also uses a nocking loop, unlike any other crossbow, which results in an extremely consistent, repeatable release.
To give you an idea of the type of accuracy I keep referring to, in his original review article Len talks about shooting his first 6-arrow group at 100 yards and achieving a group size of 1.875 inches. That is better than many average rifle hunters expect to do with their rifle. My typical 100 yard 3-arrow group size averages 2-4 inches. And even at this extreme range, if I would use a typical compound bow target rather than a 400 fps crossbow target, my TAC 15i arrows would bury all the way up to their vanes and wreck the vanes. This is an indication of the extreme force at impact even at 100 yards. A responsible, practiced, serious deer hunter should expect complete pass-through at 100 yards from a shot in the heart/lungs kill-zone.
Another unique feature of the TAC 15i is its cocking mechanism. The TAC 15i is one of the only crossbows on the market that allows you to de-cock in the field. Cocking the TAC 15i is achieved by attaching a crank handle to the side of the bow and cranking it up. It takes very little strength to cock and can be done silently. To de-cock the TAC 15i, you simply replace the crank handle and reverse the process after depressing the detent lever. With other crossbows, when you are done hunting you must fire the bolt into the ground or have a target waiting somewhere and fire into that.
Now on to the new 2013 PSE TAC Elite Crossbow.
The engineers at PSE had a goal for the TAC Elite Crossbow to be the new and improved version of the TAC 15i. They focused much of their attention on improving certain parts of the crossbow to improve durability while not losing any of the speed and accuracy from the original. Like all fast crossbows and vertical bows on the market, the limbs are designed to be as lightweight as possible to achieve the fastest speeds possible while still being durable.
To achieve the fastest speeds in the industry, the manufacturers must ride a fine line in pushing the envelope of high performance, and some limb failures are inevitable. If you Google the term "bow limb failure youll find that every single brand and model of high performance vertical bow or crossbow will have some small incidence of limb failure. We have found the percentage of TACs with limb failure to be a very low and competitive number. One significant improvement made on the TAC Elite crossbow was to beef up the limbs slightly to improve their durability. Beefier limbs equal a loss in speed. In order to keep the speed up, PSEs engineers re-designed the cams slightly. The overall look and feel of the limbs, cams, and front end of the TAC Elite is very similar to the TAC 15i, but with the same (or faster) speeds, and more durable limbs. The limb pocket was redesigned for improved limb durability, too.
Another improvement aimed at better durability was relocating the cocking mechanism slightly. The TAC 15is cocking mechanism is well made and efficient, but there are several parts inside that had a small incidence of break-downs. In relocating the cocking mechanism on the TAC Elite, the engineers were able to use slightly stronger parts and also reduce the amount of force bearing down on some small parts. I have personally serviced TAC 15i cocking mechanisms and know exactly which parts were at risk for failure, and I feel that the new design will be very effective in reducing problems.
Another change to the cocking system relates to the cocking sled that rides down the main body of the crossbow to connect to the string loop prior to cocking. The cocking sled rode in a track on the TAC 15i but was not connected to the crossbow. On the TAC Elite Crossbow, the cocking sled is attached to the track with a pin that rides in its own track. This makes the process of pulling the cocking sled out and attaching it to the string loop a little bit simpler. It also means that if there is ever a problem with the cocking mechanism, either because of user error or a breakdown, the cocking block is fully contained and will not be damaged or lost.

KAKEland Expecting Out Of Season Winter Weather
Reporter: KAKE News
Wednesday, May 1, 2013
A storm system is expected to bring anything from isolated thunderstorms to snow across the state Wednesday into Thursday. Temperatures are not expected to exceed the overnight low from Tuesday night and by late Wednesday afternoon Wichita will be in the low 50's.
South Central Kansas will see rain and a chance for an isolated thunderstorm starting around noon today, mixing with sleet and snow overnight Wednesday into Thursday. Wichita will see little, if any accumulation. If measurable snowfall occurs, it will set a record for the latest snowfall event in Wichita history. KAKEland Meteorologist Ben Pringle says the chance of severe weather from the isolated thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon is small.
Up to three inches of snow could fall in Northwest and North Central Kansas. The snow is expected to melt quickly because of warm ground temperatures.
A freeze watch has been issued for Southwest Kansas and a wind advisory is in effect for the western half of the state.

Was planning to go to the sparrow hill and once I reached there, this university was just right behind us. Took the opportunity to had a nice stroll at its front yard. For awesome view,go at night
You cannot miss the main building of the university. We walked around the campus but did not enter any of the buildings The main building is so massive, it can be seen from miles away and is worth a visit.
It is an amazing building from outside and takes part of the "Seven Sisters", that mean one of the buildings built by Stalin. I have visited on a evening and it was really impressive to see the University with all the lights in the windows. It is worth the walk of 15 minutes from the metro station.
This is my Alma Mater! One of the best places to visit in Moscow - the ultimate monument of Soviet power and the power of knowledge! Even if you wouldn't be able to get incide the main building, you can take a walk on the streets of University and take a look around the old buildings of different faculties. Also,... More
i visit this university once because my friend is studying here. this university not only for education and this is historical important one also. Too many great people were studied here. I never got a chance to study there.
Wow, impressive building on the hill above Moscow. Its size and style is imposing and worth seeing. A short stroll from there to Sparrow Hill viewing point gives a great view out over Moscow.
This building is worth a close up view, it's huge. It's just a short walk from the Sparrow Hills view point. It's about a 15 minute walk from the Universitet Metro station. Best views of the 'Stalin's Sister' building is from the view point itself. Unfortunately it doesn't look open to the public.
The outside is amazing. Go at night, to see this beautiful lighting. Unfortunately, I did not go inside. Maybe it is just for students and employees.
Incredible building! Although it was a little bit of a walk out of the centre, actually seeing this building up close is impressive. It could take about twenty minutes to walk around the perimeter but looking up the intricate details and vastness of the building is one that is quite startling.
Stalinist architecture could never be described as modest and unassuming.Unmissable building with giant red star adorning central tower/pinnacle resembling a fairy tale castle, Excellent viewpoint area to survey central Moscow and be reminded that Moscow also hosted Winter Olympics

Esteban Guerrieri and José María López knew that this season is for show that the esperience of last year is determinant to fight in 2002 for the championship in their second season in the old continent. After the good partials in 2001, the boys want to conquer Europe.
The youngest champion of the Argentinan Formula Renault in 2000 showed all his talent in the fourth competition of the German Formula Renault. His victory and his fouth place in the two races disputed in Nurburgring are a clear demostration of the capacity of this promise.
In the first race disputed on saturday, Guerrieri started sixth and finished in fourth position. The victory was for his team mate in the Jenzer Motorsport, the canadian Bruno Spengler.
On sunday, Guerrieri started fourth -the positions are in the order of the results of the race disputed on saturday- and he passed Spengler and Klein in the first corner.
¨I made a difference of 10 seconds to Swolsman. We did a good job with the team and the car is really much better. I`m very happy with my third victory in the category and I want to fight the championship where I`m third four points behind the second¨ said Guerrieri.
The next race for Guerrieri will be in Spa Francorchamps for the European championship, where Esteban will have a new car.
1° Esteban Guerrieri
2º Swolsman
3º Andreas Feichtner
1° Christian Klein 188
2º Bruno Spengler 139
3º Esteban Guerrieri 135

Facebook Stock Value Now Nearly Half of IPO After Two Months on Market
Fluctuating dramatically in the last week, shares end the week up 5.2 percent from an all-time low on Thursday.
Facebook had a rough week on the NASDAQ, closing at an all-time low on Thursday.
The value, $20.04 a share, capped off three consecutive days of record declines for the stock after first entering the market on May 18. Shares hovered below $20 throughout the day.
Friday saw Facebook stock rebound 5.2 percent to $21.09, but the figure is still 44.5 percent south of its IPO price. The Facebook IPO was just over two months ago at $42.05 a share, with the price eventually closing at $38.23.
The social network released its first quarterly financial report as a publicly traded company just over a week ago. Facebook posted a net loss of $157 million, reversing a profit of $240 million a year ago, without certain items its net income was $295 million.
"Our goal is to help every person stay connected and every product they use be a great social experience," said CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the time of the quarterly report.
Amid these losses for the company, online advertising remains healthy -- 24 percent over the year-ago frame to $9.5 billion -- and Facebook's share is expected to grow.

'Kerala Blog Express' to Begin Road Journey on March 1
The two week long road journey called "Kerala Blog Express" for selected bloggers from around the world to begin on March 1. The road journey will start from south to the north of Kerala on a branded luxury bus that carries 25 bloggers selected through an online voting created by Kerala Tourism.
Kerala Blog Express will travel through destinations like Alappuzha, Kovalam, Varkala, Kumarakom, Thekkady, Munnar, Wayanad, Kochi and Bekal during the two-week journey. The selected bloggers will also be able to participate in activities like boating in the backwaters, experience Ayurvedic treatment, and watch Kathakali performances, besides giving bath to the state's famous captive elephants.
Entries from as many as 80 countries, including US, UK, Poland, Spain, Germany, Canada and Indonesia had been received. Some of the contestants participating in the race for the 25 seats have already featured in National Geographic, Conde Nast Traveller and Lonely Planet. The participants who have their own blogs like travel writers, photographers and bloggers are eligible to enter the selection. The registration for 'Kerala Blog Express' journey had ended on January 10. Profiles of participants are available on Kerala Blog Express website for voting by the general public.
While then, the Kerala Tourism website has won the national tourism award for the 6th time for 'most innovative use of information technology' for 2012-13. The website was rated best among travel websites from India.
Kerala to get seaplane services
The union Government of India has accepted the proposal to start a seaplane service in Kerala in principle. In the beginning, seaplane services will connect various tourist destinations like Kumarakom, Munnar, Ashtamudi, Punnamada, Bekal and Bolgatty from the airports of Trivandrum, Kochi and Kozhikode. At present Andaman and Nicobar island administration is successfully operating sea plane services.
Seaplane services will be a boon for tourists who are hard pressed for time as they can make the most of their available time by utilizing the faster transportation option of seaplanes. Apart from boosting tourism, sea plane services would also help a lot in opening up the lesser known tourist spots in Kerala for those who look for an off the beat sight seeing experience.

I am really enjoying this series. I didn't like the art at 1st, but it has grown on me.
Anyone know why most of the Oct solicits are not on the DC Comics site?
I also went to #18 and confused as well.
A good reason yes. A good reason is "I dont like it." It states your opinion and only yours.
When people start making excuses and assume people think the same way and speak for said people, that...
Attachment? Don't you mean nostalgia.
This is subjective and you said "God knows"...... haha
I believe you meant to say "Lexrules knows it's 1000 times better then the Lee garbage and I...
When Superman wears the New 52 "Armor" suit, will people recognize that he's Superman?
- Yes
When Superman wears the MOS suit, will be people recognize that he's Superman?
- Yes
I love the New 52 and the MOS suit. I'm glad they got rid of the red briefs.
You'll prob do better if you sell individually on eBay. I bought this set only for Superman when it came out as well. I sold the others for approx $20 each (some ended up being more, others were...
Or have the real Majestic come in and say something like "who is this imposter?". He would then take Bronson out and leave Earth in disgust thinking the metas here suck and thinking "maybe i'll...
Who is Bronson? I googled him and all it said was hes just some guy who eventually turned into Maj.
Who is Spartan in the New 52? Hes still a robot correct? It showed Henshaw and group taking...
I'm a huge Majestic fan and up until yesterday I had no idea that Maj is in the New 52. Today I bought Team 7 #5-7 and Deathstroke #19.
I read all 4 and am confused. Granted I've never read Team...
I love Majestic and have been waiting for him to be in the New 52!
So I need to get Team 7 #6 and #7 and Deathstroke #19 to get all the New 52 Maj appearances? Anything else?
So nobody has that a clear high res image?

Hi: 12° Lo:1° 7 day
SILHILLIANS bowed their heads in respectful silence at the weekend as they paid tribute to the servicemen and women who have served their country - and the many who have paid the ultimate price of their life.
Across the borough Remembrance Day parades and church services were held and wreaths and poppy crosses laid in memory of those lost in conflicts around the world.
Veterans, dignitaries and the public stood shoulder to shoulder to remember the borough's heroes of war during a special service at St Alphege Church.
Wreaths were laid and a silence was observed by those paying their respects.
Observer photographer Jon Mullis attended the parade in Solihull where Armistice Day - the end of World War One was also marked on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month - which this year also fell on Remembrance Sunday.

Admiral Razorbeard (also known as the Machiavellian Razorbeard) is captain of the pirate operation in Rayman's world. He is intent on stopping Rayman from thwarting his plans. Admiral Razorbeard is the leader of the Robo-Pirate Army, which invades the Glade of Dreams and captures most of the world's inhabitants to use as slaves.
Andre is an enemy to Rayman. He leads an army of black lums and is bent on corrupting the heart of the world. In Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, Globox accidentally swallows Andre, and it takes 3 teensie doctors to get him out.
