Rioting erupts in Egyptian city after soccer fans sentenced to die; nearly 30 killed
CAIRO (AP) -- Relatives and angry young men rampaged through the Egyptian city of Port Said on Saturday in assaults that killed at least 27 people following death sentences for local fans involved in the country's worst bout of soccer violence.
Unrest surrounding the second anniversary of Egypt's revolution also broke out in Cairo and other cities for a third day, with protesters clashing for hours with riot police who fired tear gas that encompassed swaths of the capital's downtown.
The divisive verdict and bloodshed highlight challenges being faced by President Mohammed Morsi, who took office seven months ago following an Egyptian revolution that ousted autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak. Critics say Morsi has failed to carry out promised reforms in the country's judiciary and police force, and claim little has improved in the two years after the uprising against Mubarak.
The Islamist leader, Egypt's first freely elected and civilian president, met for the first time with top generals as part of the newly formed National Defense Council to discuss the deployment of troops in two cities. The military was deployed to Port Said hours after the verdict was announced, and warned that a curfew could be declared in areas of unrest. The military was also deployed to the canal city of Suez, where protesters attacked the main security compound there after eight people were killed late Friday.
Saturday's riot in Port Said stemmed from animosity between police and die-hard soccer fans know as Ultras, who also were part of the mass uprising against Mubarak that began on Jan. 25, 2011, and at forefront of protests against the military rulers who assumed temporary power after his ouster.
Senate Democrats may stand in Obama's way as debate begins on tighter gun control measures
WASHINGTON (AP) -- As the Senate prepares to begin debating new gun control measures, some of President Barack Obama's fellow Democrats are poised to frustrate his efforts to enact the most sweeping limits on weapons in decades.
These Democrats from largely rural states with strong gun cultures view Obama's proposals warily and have not committed to supporting them. The lawmakers' concerns could stand in the way of strong legislation before a single Republican gets a chance to vote "no."
"There's a core group of Democratic senators, most but not all from the West, who represent states with a higher-than-average rate of gun ownership but an equally strong desire to feel their kids are safe," said Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. "They're having hard but good conversations with people back home to identify the middle-ground solutions that respect the Second Amendment but make it harder for dangerous people to get their hands on guns."
All eyes are on these dozen or so Democrats, some of whom face re-election in 2014. That includes Sens. Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.
The Senate Judiciary Committee begins hearings Wednesday.
Mali conflict illustrates fears that Libya isbecoming incubator of turmoil
Libya's upheaval the past two years helped lead to the ongoing conflict in Mali, and now Mali's war threatens to wash back and further hike Libya's instability. Fears are growing that post-Moammar Gadhafi Libya is becoming an incubator of turmoil, with an overflow of weapons and Islamic jihadi militants operating freely, ready for battlefields at home or abroad.
The possibility of a Mali backlash was underlined the past week when several European governments evacuated their citizens from Libya's second largest city, Benghazi, fearing attacks in retaliation for the French-led military assault against al-Qaida-linked extremists in northern Mali.
More worrisome is the possibility that Islamic militants inspired by -- or linked to -- al-Qaida can establish a strong enough foothold in Libya to spread instability across a swath of North Africa where long, porous desert borders have little meaning, governments are weak, and tribal and ethnic networks stretch from country to country. The Associated Press examined the dangers in recent interviews with officials, tribal leaders and jihadis in various parts of Libya.
Already, Libya's turmoil echoes around the region and in the Middle East. The large numbers of weapons brought into Libya or seized from government caches during the 2011 civil war against Gadhafi are now smuggled freely to Mali, Egypt and its Sinai Peninsula, the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip and to rebels fighting Syrian President Bashar Assad. Jihadis in Libya are believed to have operational links with fellow militant groups in the same swath, Libyan fighters have joined rebels in Syria and are believed to operate in other countries as well.
Libyan officials, activists and experts are increasingly raising alarm over how Islamic militants have taken advantage of the oil-rich country's weakness to grow in strength. During his more than four-decade rule Gadhafi stripped the country of national institutions, and after his fall the central government has little authority beyond the capital, Tripoli. Militias established to fight Gadhafi remain dominant, and tribes and regions are sharply divided.
French forces take control of airport, bridge in Gao, Malian city held by Islamic extremists
KONNA, Mali (AP) -- French and Malian troops regained control of the airport and bridge of the crucial, northern city of Gao on Saturday, marking their biggest advance yet in their bid to oust al-Qaida-linked extremists who have controlled northern Mali for months, military officials said.
The move comes just two weeks after France launched its military offensive in support of the shaky, central government of this former French colony. It is unclear what kind of resistance French and Malian troops will face in the coming days.
The French military said in a statement on its website that their special forces, which had stormed in by land and by air, had come under fire from "several terrorist elements" that were later "destroyed."
In a later press release entitled "French and Malian troops liberate Gao" the French ministry of defense said they were bringing back the town's mayor, Sadou Diallo, who had fled to the Malian capital of Bamako far to the west.
However, a city official interviewed by telephone by The Associated Press said coalition forces so far only controlled the airport, the bridge and surrounding neighborhoods.
The tale of 16-year-old child soldier is a window into Mali's dirty war
SEVARE, Mali (AP) -- The boy sits with his knees tucked under his chest on the concrete floor of the police station here, his adolescent face a tableau of fear. He's still garbed in the knee-length tunic he was ordered to wear by the Islamic extremist who recruited him.
It's these same clothes, styled after those worn by the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century, which gave him away when he tried to flee earlier this week. They have now become his prison garb.
Adama Drabo is 16, and his recruitment into the ranks of a group designated as a terrorist organization, followed by his violent interrogation at the hands of the Malian army, underscores the obstacles faced by France as it tries to wash its former West African colony clean of the al-Qaida-linked fighters occupying it.
"In terms of the rules of engagement, you have to think to yourself, what will you do if a child comes up to you wearing an explosive vest? What do you do if a 12-year-old is manning a checkpoint?" says Rudolph Atallah, former director of counterterrorism for Africa at the Pentagon during the Bush administration. "It's a very difficult situation."
France, which now has around 2,500 troops on the ground, plunged headfirst into the conflict in Mali two weeks ago, after the Islamist groups that have controlled the nation's northern half since last year began an aggressive push southward. The French soldiers are equipped with night vision goggles, anti-tank mines and laser-guided bombs. However, their enemy includes the hundreds of children, some as young as 11, who have been conscripted into the rebel army.
Man arrested after officer killed, 2 sheriff's deputies hurt in south La.; follows deadly fire
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Police on Saturday arrested a man suspected of fatally shooting a police officer and critically wounding two sheriff's deputies after setting a deadly fire at a mobile home near a south Louisiana casino.
A Chitimacha tribal officer was pronounced dead at the scene of the shootings in Charenton, while two St. Mary Parish sheriff's deputies were critically wounded and taken to local hospitals, said Louisiana State Police Trooper Stephen Hammons.
Hammons said investigators found the burned remains of a man after extinguishing a fire at a mobile home that Wilbert Thibodeaux, 48, is suspecting of setting before the officers confronted him.
Hammons said the officers were responding to a report of an armed man walking down a road near the Cypress Bayou Casino when Thibodeaux allegedly shot them.
Thibodeaux was treated for a gunshot wound that wasn't considered life-threatening, according to Hammons, who said investigators were questioning him Saturday evening.
Garment factory fire kills 7 female workers, injures 5 in Bangladesh
DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) -- A fire swept through a two-story garment factory in Bangladesh's capital Saturday, killing at least seven female workers and injuring another five, police and fire officials said.
The fire at the Smart factory occurred just two months after a blaze killed 112 workers in another factory near the capital city, raising questions about safety standards and treatment of workers in Bangladesh's $20-billion garment industry that exports clothes to leading Western retailers. The country has more than 4,000 garment factories
The cause of the latest fire was not immediately known, fire official Abdul Halim said.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Monzurul Kabir told The Associated Press that the bodies of seven women were recovered from the top floor of the factory in Dhaka's Mohammadpur district. He said the factory was making pants and shirts, but could not provide further details.
Halim said it took firefighters about two hours to bring Saturday's blaze under control.
Serial killer takes secrets to his grave, but search for his unknown victims goes on
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) -- The suspect, hands and feet shackled, fidgeted in his chair, chuckling at times as he confessed to a brutal killing.
Israel Keyes showed no remorse as he described in merciless detail how he'd abducted and strangled an 18-year-old woman, then demanded ransom, pretending she was alive. As the two prosecutors questioned him, they were struck by his demeanor: He seemed pumped up, as if he were reliving the crime. His body shook, they said, and he rubbed his muscular arms on the chair rests so vigorously his handcuffs scraped off the wood finish.
The prosecutors had acceded to Keyes' requests: a cup of Americano coffee, a peanut butter Snickers and a cigar (for later). Then they showed him surveillance photos, looked him in the eye and declared: We know you kidnapped Samantha Koenig. We're going to convict you.
They aimed to solve a disappearance, and they did. But they soon realized there was much more here: a kind of evil they'd never anticipated.
Confessing to Koenig's killing, Keyes used a Google map to point to a spot on a lake where he'd disposed of her dismembered body and gone ice fishing at the same time. He wasn't done talking, though. He declared he'd been "two different people" for 14 years. He had stories to tell, stories he said he'd never shared. He made seemingly plural references and chilling remarks such as, "It takes a long time to strangle someone."
Hoax 911 calls add to celebrities' problems, with CA police and lawmakers urging crackdown
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Celebrities have long contended with the occasional downsides of stardom -- tabloid scandals, stalkers, box office bombs, the paparazzi. Now, add "swatting" to the list -- a prank that sends police charging to the gates of stars' homes on false reports of gunmen, hostages or other crimes in progress.
Instead of bad guys, responding officers, police dogs, helicopters and sometimes SWAT teams have found only stunned domestic and security staff unaware of any trouble -- because there wasn't any.
The recent hoax 911 calls to the homes of Tom Cruise, Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher, Chris Brown and other stars are leading authorities to eye some 911 calls with extra suspicion and lawmakers to call for stiffer penalties for the pranksters.
"This is a very vexing problem that needs to be fixed at the early stages," said California State Sen. Ted Lieu, who is proposing tough consequences, including hefty fines, for those caught swatting. "If this isn't resolved, this will result in a tragic situation."
Swatting is the rare trend that actually didn't start in Hollywood. Authorities in Dallas, Washington state, Alabama and elsewhere have arrested teens and young men for bogus 911 calls that have drawn large police responses and in some cases, resulted in innocent people being detained by police.
Hall of Famer Stan Musial remembered during funeral Mass
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Stan Musial was remembered during a funeral and memorial outside Busch Stadium on Saturday as a Hall of Famer and a St. Louis icon embraced by generations of fans who never had the privilege of watching him play.
Broadcaster Bob Costas, his voice cracking with emotion at times, pointed out during a two-hour Mass that in 92 years of life, Stan the Man never let anyone down.
Costas noted that even though Musial, who died Jan. 19, was a three-time NL MVP and seven-time batting champion, the pride of Donora, Pa., lacked a singular achievement. Joe DiMaggio had a 56-game hitting streak, Ted Williams was the last major leaguer to hit .400, and Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle soared to stardom in the New York spotlight. Musial didn't quite reach the 500-homer club -- he finished with 475 -- and played in his final World Series in 1946, "wouldn't you know it, the year before they started televising the Fall Classic!"
"What was the hook with Stan Musial other than the distinctive stance and the role of one of baseball's best hitters?" Costas said. "It seems that all Stan had going for him was more than two decades of sustained excellence as a ballplayer and more than nine decades as a thoroughly decent human being.
"Where is the single person to truthfully say a bad word about him?"

Upton, who hit .280 with 17 home runs and 67 RBIs last season, declined to waive his no-trade clause after the two teams had reached an agreement. Upton, 25, has four clubs on a no-trade clause in his contract, and one of those teams is the Mariners.
Both D-backs general manager Kevin Towers and Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik declined to comment on the report.
"It's been our policy all along to not comment on trade rumors," Zduriencik said.
The Mariners were willing to part with several top prospects in exchange for Upton, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports, who first broke the story Thursday afternoon.
According to Scott Miller of CBS Sports, many of those names would have been made available, reporting that in exchange for Upton the D-backs would have received relievers Charlie Furbush and Stephen Pryor, infield prospect Nick Franklin and one of top pitching prospects Danny Hultzen, James Paxton or Taijuan Walker.
Upton has three years and $38.5 million remaining on his contract and has been the topic of considerable trade speculation over the past year and a half. The D-backs have a surplus of outfielders, as Towers acquired free agent Cody Ross last month to go along with Upton, Gerardo Parra, Jason Kubel and rookie Adam Eaton.
Upton's production tailed off last season after he hit .289 with 31 homers and 88 RBIs in 2011 when he finished fourth in the National League MVP voting.
The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Virginia native was the first overall Draft pick in 2005 and broke into the Majors two years later at 19. He's posted a .278/.357/.475 line in his career. Over the past four seasons, from age 21-25, he's averaged 23 home runs, 78 RBIs and 19 stolen bases with a .286 batting average.
FOX Sports said the Rangers and Braves have also been pursuing Upton and indicated he preferred going to one of those clubs. His brother, B.J. Upton, signed a five-year, $75.25 million contract with the Braves this offseason.
According to multiple reports, the Blue Jays, Cubs and Red Sox are also on Upton's no-trade list.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The financially struggling U.S. Postal Service says it plans to stop delivering mail on Saturdays, but continue delivering packages six days a week.
In an announcement scheduled for later Wednesday, the service is expected to say the cut, beginning in August, would mean a cost saving of about $2 billion annually.
The move accentuates one of the agency's strong points — package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010. The delivery of letters and other mail has declined with the increasing use of email and other Internet use.

WASHINGTON -- The Nationals have hired Tony Tarasco as their first-base and outfield coach and shifted Trent Jewett from first-base coach to third-base coach, the team announced on Wednesday. The rest of the coaching staff -- bench coach Randy Knorr, hitting coach Rick Eckstein, pitching coach Steve McCatty and bullpen coach Jim Lett -- will return for another season.
Jewett spent the last year-plus as the team's first-base coach. He takes over at third to fill the vacancy left by Bo Porter, who was recently named the manager of the Astros. Jewett is considered a managerial candidate for the Nationals when Davey Johnson retires from managing after the 2013 season.
Tarasco has spent the last few years as a Minor League outfield coordinator for the Nationals. He is credited for helping Bryce Harper become an above-average outfielder. Tarasco will replace Porter as the outfield coach, while also coaching first base.
The Nationals considered Tony Beasley as a candidate to become the third-base coach, but they were in need of an outfield coach. Beasley is an infield coach.
Eckstein and McCatty return for their fifth seasons on the coaching staff, while Lett and Knorr enter their fourth and third campaigns, respectively. Knorr is also considered a managerial candidate for after Johnson retires.

New guy New Cub need some questions answered please
Well i just bought a Cub tractor today, unsure of the year but its in great shape and i think i got a deal,... it has a set of cultivators and a woods mower for it,... mower is in alot of pieces so i dunno what i need yet... So to get on with the tractor show, it has new bearings and gears all thru the rear end and trans. has great paint, two front working lights, decals, chrome letters, turf tires, new front tires, new seat, 6 volt system all working. all in all great tractor for 2500 i think...
so on with the questions...
#1 tractor has no drawbar. i own a metal fab shop so i plan to build one would love some pics if you guys got some handy. if you could build one what would you want it like?
#2 need mower mount pics, lots of em. cause i dont know how it hooks up or goes back together
#3 what kind of rear lift system could these tractors carry? i would like to be able to carry small implements, mostly the custom made leaf vacuum i plan to build and mount to the rear of the tractor but id like a near factory type lift or a better idea if you have them?
#4 rear lights? be nice to have one..... LOL
thanks for the help folks i really like my little tractor
Re: New guy New Cub need some questions answered please
G'day to you and congrats on acquiring your very first new to you Cub. I am sure that you will probably become addicted real quick to it just as so many of us have.
My first suggestion to you would be to read an Owner's Manual - you can find them here - Cub Owner's Manuals. To find out what year your Cub is, check for the serial #. You should find it on the lower right hand side of the tractor looking from the rear forward right under the steering column on the front bolster. For help in identifying your Cub click here - Cub FAQ's #1 on ATIS.

There are lots of resources for our members, pretty much the most unique on the net. We have a great Community and everyone is willing to help. Suggest you grab a comfy chair, some coffee if that is your thing, sit back, relax and follow the links below, there is lots of reading to do. However I do want to stress before you do anything to your Cub, read the Owner's Manual first before you do anything. Familiarize yourself with the manual then with the Cub using the manual as a step by step guide. Enjoy

Re: New guy New Cub need some questions answered please
Streetglider, welcome to the Forum. To add to what Rudi said, if you click on the manuals link above, you can find manuals for lots of mowers. The two main brands were the IHC (Danco), and Woods. If you would post some photos of what you have it would make it easier to identify. There was only one rear light, which are available used and new. There are different shapes and either 6 or 12 volt depending on the age of of your tractor (and what you have on the front). The Cub has a rear rockshaft that connects to the hydraulic touch control unit. If you look in the "How to" and "projects" forums, you'll find some examples of what others have fabbed for their tractors. You may be able to fab the drawbar, but I almost think you'd need to have one in hand to make it and the mounting brackets. Feel free to ask away as other questions come up.

Re: New guy New Cub need some questions answered please
Welcome to the forum, enjoy. Like they said, do the research, read the manual, and check the forum for sale, section. As questions, the more specific the better. Check out ebay for farmall cub and lots of stuff will come up. Be selective on your buying and you can buy just about anything. With a metal fab shop you will get plenty of ideas about special stuff to build, but like a draw bar, you can probably buy one about as cheap as you can build one. Be sure to change all the fluids, most of the time they need it changed.

Re: New guy New Cub need some questions answered please
I would buy a standard drawbar and drawbar brackets. Any implements you want to mount, including the mower, are all going to be keyed off the factory design plus there s a safety issue too with the pulling point to make sure you don't flip the tractor. The drawbar is dropped down by the proper brackets. You need the correct tapered head bolts, too. The taper bears a lot of pressure on the brackets and locates them so they do not move. Lots of final drive mounting holes have been "wallered out" by loose or incorrect bolts. I would lay out all the mower parts you have and post some pictures. Most of the mowers are IH/Danco or Woods but there are a lot of smaller companies that made mowers too.
Re: New guy New Cub need some questions answered please
welcome to the forum from the deep south , you will be hard pressed to find a better bunch of guys and gal (morning dale ) . i own a sheet metal/fab shop , and i would buy a used one before making one, for just the reason bob said in the post above . good advice. coppersmythe..............
Re: New guy New Cub need some questions answered please
I've seen quite a few home made drawbars, some pretty nicely made, but none as versitile as the factory item. Many Cub attachments rely on the design of it for proper attachment. Post an ad in the wanted section and I'm sure someone will have one available. Then, you'll have your starting point for mounting your leaf vac or other attachments down the road. Oh, and welcome aboard!
Re: New guy New Cub need some questions answered please
Take a few days off next week and head down to Sneads, FL, where one of the best Cub Fests will be going on: Deep South Cub Fest (aka DSCF http://www.dscubfest.com/) You will meet a bunch of great folks, eat LOTS of great food, learn a lot about working on these tractors and listen to a LOT of BS from the pros!!!
Also, there will be some folks offering various parts for sale, and I am SURE you will be able to pick up a drawbar with brackets. (I happen to have one! Plus the tapered bolts for mounting it.) The drawbar has a "twist" in the bar at both ends, and, as mentioned, it is rather important to get it right for everything else to function correctly.
You would have loads of fun and learn a lot. You could even BRING your tractor if you want to do some things on it there...just check with Mr E to see if they have room/time for whatever you might want to do.
Have fun, and I look forward to meeting you. Always nice to find another person with the skills to fabricate some hard to find things!!!!

Re: New guy New Cub need some questions answered please
You own a metal shop! You'll have so much fun. I'm in the middle of making a bunch of stuff right now and it's super. These little things are so versatile. Make sure you examine a LOT of pictures, or actual implements, to see how they're designed, and where/how the stress is transferred to the the tractor. I take those as my model, because I know the old implements were designed to be safe for the machine.
I agree with others, you should just buy a drawbar. Some implements require that precise design, and almost more importantly, you'll need the drawbar brackets as your model for anything you bolt to those rear implement bolt holes. They have a particular taper, and I think you'd want to copy the original bracket for getting the spacing and taper correct.
The Cub rear lift system is the rear rockshaft ("normal") that attaches to the hydraulic cylinder by a bar, and lifts things up and down. The fast hitch is a special attachment, which gives easier mounting, but also takes up some space. As a farmer, I want to be able to drive over plants, and the fast hitch doesn't work for that.
The rear lift MAX is 600lbs, hung directly below the rear rockshaft. Don't push it. Be SURE you do the math on anything you create; a long implement adds significant weight/leverage to the lifting mechanism\, of course. Also be careful of weight and shock loading on the castings that you're bolting into. All the original implements, as I understand it, were designed so that it would break before the tractor would, or the tractor would stall before it could damage itself. It'd be pretty easy to make something that would be dangerous to the tractor, and to yourself.
Many people have made up their own 3-pt hitches, and in fact there was a thread on that a few weeks ago or so, http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=75835&hilit=3+point+hitch
Have fun!
Re: New guy New Cub need some questions answered please
It would trip you up on your mower, but a fast hitch would be worth considering. Very versatile way to go with a Cub.
The drawbar is forged. And the hole pattern is critical for stuff like dirt plows.

be his last.
Ahead of its May release via Studio Canal in the UK, I was a
little nervous entering the screening room to see the picture. I'm
a long-time Ghibli admirer and fan, but I'm in the camp that
favours its marriage of fantasy and mysticism (My Neighbor
Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle) over its explorations of real
life (Grave of the Fireflies). I had heard The
Wind Rises sat somewhere in the middle. I didn't know
what to expect. Continue reading
I've lost count of how many Secret Cinema performances I've
attended. But sadly, I think I've begun to lose faith in its
The latest show from the real-life cinematic production company
is called The Grand Budapest Hotel. You can guess
what the film is if you're familiar with Wes Anderson's new
release, and it underscores a problem: where's the secret gone from
the cinema? Continue reading
It's 1995. I've just typed "sex" into an internet chat room and
thought I was about to be arrested for it. "There are people who
watch what you say on here!" my friend Michael shouted, as my
panicked fingers departed his father's computer keyboard and he
ripped the modem cable out of the telephone socket. "You can't say
'sex' in a chat room!"
I remember it as if it was yesterday. I was eleven years old, on
break from school during the summer holidays and Windows 95 had
just been released that week. Michael was a school friend whose dad
was building his own boat -- not because he needed one in
Sheffield, but because he could. A man who can afford to build his
own ship could also afford a brand new PC with a dial-up modem and
leave his son and acquaintances to use it all day. Continue reading
Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium opens this weekend, so it seemed
only right that I stopped by for a tea and a scone ahead of opening
day -- 1 March.
I was greeted by an exhausted Lauren Pears, proprietress of
Lady Dinah's, who has successfully reached the end of a lengthy
development period. It's been a challenging 18-month journey
rewarded with 7,000 bookings in the first 24 hours. "I think I'm a
bit stunned still," she told me. "It's been a lot of work for a
really long time. I think I have to pinch myself to check it's
actually still happening."
Walking into the cafe on Bethnal Green Road in London's
Shoreditch, I was first struck by the legitimacy of its aesthetic.
In a pocket of the capital known for its pop-up shops and a
rough-and-ready approach to spontaneous commerce, Lady Dinah's
feels like the permanent fixture it's intended to be. It's a real
cafe, with a Starbucks-size coffee-making area busied by baristas
and serving staff. Continue reading
There are reasons WhatsApp has no iPad or tablet build, and why
it's still tied to old fashioned mobile phone numbers. But with
Facebook as a new owner, how long will that remain the case?
It's always always tugged at my eyebrow: in an era of mobile
services aiming to be as platform agnostic as possible, why does
WhatsApp tie users to mobile phones, single devices and cell
number? It means I can't start a conversation on my iPhone and
finish it on my iPad, and it's why as much as I applaud WhatsApp I
find myself preferring Google Hangouts or iMessage. Continue reading
A group of London-based IT professionals are set to
launch Flappy Coin -- yet another cryptocurrency.
According to the founders, writing on BitCoinTalk.org, "The aim
of the Flappy Coin is to make a fresh difference in the current
market. We want to create a stable, reliable coin that can be
trusted. We want to promote what we call 'Flappy Bird' ethos -- the
concept that even a single person can make a massive impact to the
world." Continue reading
AOL was once a demonstrably happening place to work. At the turn
of the millenium it had tens of millions of subscribers: as the
year 2000 ticked into being, ten percent of the world's population
able to connect to the web did so via an AOL connection. It was the
high point after years of fostering a very specific type of world
wide web user -- one who rarely used the actual web.
For years AOL existed for those users harbouring an inherent
nervousness towards the "cyber" world; the "internet superhighway"
was a road hosting hitherto unseen types of vehicle driven the
world over by anonymous faceless strangers. AOL's community was a
more manageable place to reside online, and it offered peace of
mind in its marketing that it was great for the family to use.
"Every day AOL is making it easier for people to live, work and
play," a commercial once touted before explaining that kids can
revise dinosaur facts without leaving their chairs. Continue reading
No sooner had I bought a pair of 90s Tamagotchis from
eBay, Bandai has announced it's bringing the digital keychain pets
back to market.
The new models will launch in 2014 under the
brand Tamagotchi Friends. Like the 90s classics, the key
product is an egg-shaped gadget with a dot matrix screen, three
buttons to interact with your adopted critter and two lines of
activities lacing the top and bottom of the display.

After reviewing Apple's latest MacBook Pro I noticed
something very interesting: its performance versus my two-year-old
model felt far more significant than the 15-30 percent CPU speed
improvement suggested I would observe. It booted in seconds; it
would copy massive files in the blink of an eye; I could duplicate
galleries of RAW images in Aperture between sips of coffee. It
wasn't because of the improvements to Intel's CPUs, as one might
expect; it was because of the SSD on the inside. Continue reading
It's no secret I consider Apple's iPad mini up there alongside
creations as important as the wheel, the electric lightbulb, the
internet and Tesseract. Yet despite this, I originally scored the
iPad mini eight-out-of-ten, because being close to perfection still
means you're still neighbour to a family of disappointments.
So, ahead of what is rumoured to be an October announcement for
a new iPad mini, I thought I'd identify the holes Apple needs to
fill in order for me to award it a 10/10 -- which I'm sure it is on
the edge of its corporate seat hoping I do. Continue reading

Newly released court documents show the extent of accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's injuries when he was captured on April 19 in Watertown, Mass.
Trauma surgeon Dr. Stephen Ray Odom said during a court proceeding in April that Tsarnaev, 20, suffered "multiple gunshot wounds, the most severe of which appears to have entered through the left side inside of his mouth and exited the left face, lower face."
Odom also gives details of Tsarnaev's fractured skull, injured spine and gunshot wounds to his extremities.
DR. ODOM: He has multiple serious injuries that require ongoing inpatient medical care at this time. He is currently in an intensive care unit, though his status is not critical.
THE COURT: Can you give me a brief summary of his injuries?
DR. ODOM: He has multiple gunshot wounds, the most severe of which appears to have entered through the left side inside of his mouth and exited the left face, lower face. This was a high-powered injury that has resulted in skull-base fracture, with injuries to the middle ear, the skull base, the lateral portion of his C1 vertebrae, with a significant soft-tissue injury, as well as injury to the pharynx, the mouth, and a small vascular injury that's been treated. He has, in addition to this, some ophthalmologic injuries that have been treated.
Tsarnaev was captured in April after a massive manhunt and was eventually found hiding in a boat in the backyard of a Watertown home. Witnesses said police opened fire on the boat and photos from the arrest show Tsarnaev bloody and slumped over the boat's side.
Tsarnaev faces the death penalty for the Boston Marathon bombing, which left three dead and more than two hundred injured.

Additional Information
Spider 365™
One rubber, huge range of uses. Spider365 Rubber is the spork of our rubber arsenal.
Shoc Pad™
You wouldn't ride a bike without a seat. The same logic applies for our Shoc Pad™ technology, which will give you a smooth ride without inhibiting your performance.
Mush® Infused Insole
Now we're not necessarily splicing Mush® genes back in the T.I.D.E Lab to build a hybrid mutant insole, but we do have an insole that's worthy of the Mush name.
ion-mask,™ technology by P2i, the world leader in liquid repellent nano-coating technology, falls into the category of what we call "magic tech." Imagine a process that allows you to make an object water repellent on a nanoscale, meaning that its very fibers repel water. It sounds like sci-fi, but that's what ion-mask™ does to our shoes.
Slipping off your pedal can be painful … and really, really awkward. To prevent that, we worked with our team of professional freeride bikers to develop the PedalLINK outsole. It was designed to link up with the pegs of your pedal to keep your foot in place and in control. On top of that, it's got lugs at the toe and heel to help you get around when you're off your bike.
- Our Spider365 Rubber sole will hold its grip in all kinds of environments
- The sole of the Links was designed specifically to interface with the unique platform of a bike pedal
- Aggressive tread designs at the toe and heel will grip the dirt when you're hoofin' it
- Teva E-Brake in the heel features a reverse lug pattern to give you downhill traction when you're off your bike
- A rigid heel stabilizer keeps your foot centered in the shoe
- ion-mask™ technology actually prevents the materials in this shoe from absorbing any water on a molecular level. It sounds like sci-fi, but it's real
- Waterproof materials throughout the shoe make it easy to wash the mud off
- A rubberized grid over the toe area is a breathable armor that prevents abrasion or ripping
- Leather and mesh upper
- A Shoc Pad™ in the heel makes for a smooth ride
- Extra padding throughout the upper softens your landings
- Strong plastic wraps around the back of the shoes to protect your heel
- Elastic gores on the tongue give you a snug fit
- Our Mush® Infused Insole brings the absurd comfort of our flip flops into a shoe

I'm really happy with those shoes so far.
They stick to the pedals of my bike very well and I haven't slipped once (while before that used to happened at least once during every ride).
I've walked in them a fair bit and they've been really comfortable to use this way.
I can't comment on water resistance. That was one of the reason I've brought them, but so far I've managed to avoid the rain when cycling (which is great, but then it also mean I've been unable to test the shoes on this side).
I would definitely recommend them to anyone that wants comfy shoes that stick to the pedals and keep your feet warm.

Cant rate it yet on durability as only had a couple of rides but they are very stiff and stick to the pedal very well. Also good for walking on the inevitable push up the hill.
I also couldn't resist the bright blue/yellow ones and they look awesome!

Exotic Yangon was founded as Dagon in the 500's by the Mon, who dominated the lower portions of present-day Myanmar. Yangon harbors the most sacred site in the country, the magnificent Scwedagon Pagoda with its amazing complex of pavilions and shrines. Nearby is the colossal reclining Buddha, almost as large as the famous statue in the town of Bago. As a former British Colony, view many fine examples of colonial architecture including the famous Strand Hotel.
The following Shore Excursions are available for this port on this cruise, and may be reserved beginning 240 days before the cruise begins for guests receiving Concierge amenities, and 180 days before the cruise begins for all other guests. Guests receiving Concierge amenities will receive a 5% discount off of the prices shown below for Regent Choice tours.
This evening exploration of Yangon showcases its fabulous and famed jewel-studded Shwedagon Pagoda, which lords over the city from atop Singuttara Hill.
Departing from the pier by coach, you will commence a drive around lush Yangon, known as the "Garden City of the East." Architectural highlights along the way include the traditional tiered roof City Hall, Karaweik Royal Barge, the ancient Thanlyin area, and ornate Sule Pagoda. Still, few sights compare with the mesmerizing Shwedagon Pagoda.
Its glistening dome is covered with thousands of priceless gold plates, rubies, sapphires and other precious gems, and a single 76-carat diamond crowns the tip. Shwedagon and the glorious stupas, shrines and sculptures that surround it sprawl over 12 acres and include architectural gems such as a replica of the Mahabodhi Temple, where Buddha attained enlightenment, and the Hall of Wizards, devoted to practitioners of the occult arts. While the history of Shwedagon is shrouded in mystery, the pagoda is without a doubt the most revered pagoda in the region. You can't help but be awed by its magnificence.
Following a visit of approximately 90-minutes, you will rejoin your coach and travel to verdant People's Park, which offers a view of the pagoda from a different perspective. It's an excellent place to reflect on the beauty of Shwedagon and take panoramic photos of the city below before returning to the ship.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 90-minutes of moderate walking/standing as well as numerous steps to negotiate at Shwedagon. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have a companion to assist them. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Conservative attire is required and shoulders and knees must be covered. Flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended. When entering places of worship, visitors must remove their shoes and socks.
