The good: The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 is an excellent ultrabook, even without digging into its hybrid capabilities. This new model adds a backlit keyboard and an impressive 3,200x1,800-pixel-resolution display, while keeping the price under $1,000.
The bad: In battery life it lags behind a couple of more expensive higher-res laptops, some of the hybrid modes are of dubious use, and Lenovo still doesn't know what to do with the keyboard in tablet mode.
The bottom line: A major update to our favorite Windows 8 hybrid, the IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro is still a better laptop than tablet, but the new version adds a future-proof better-than-HD display at a great price.

Summary: I've used Apple most of my life & switched to this magnificent Windows 8.1 Ultrabook because I was told my small business software & Electronic Medical Records would run better on it. At first I was traumatized & missed all the efficiency of Apple universe. After about a week I fell in love with the flexibility & customabiity of PC, not to mention the ultra flexible hinge. On my Mac I had issues running software with slow boot ups and issues multitasking. Y2P I am amazed at speed, agility, & efficiency. There is surprising little bloatware preinstalled & it is easy to get rid of. At Thanksgiving, my Nephew even showed me how to use Linux Ubuntu which worked pretty good even with touch screen. This machine ha organized & changed my life. I did have some initial struggle with the updates to BIOs & drivers, etc. When I called Technical Support I was very impressed by the kindness, professionalism, & courtesy displayed. Even ordering was a magnificent experience for me. I personally have become ecstatic using this stellar system after 2 weeks. It has really helped organize my life & businesses. Watching movies on it is dream. Different mods are very handy. The Windows store is currently kind of lackluster & hope in time that it improves. Comparing to Mac is tough as it has a more vast App Store. Initially I was not fond of Y2P brightness, however my eyes grew accustom to lower brightness than Mac which is now a welcome change for me, when I see Mac screen now it seems blinding bright in comparison. This is also a green computer & as I have mentioned with some customization it is a incredible machine. A great value too & very well reviewed overall. I think some people were upset that it was released with yellow color issue, however Kudos to Lenovo for fixing in about 10 days with a Bios fix. They seem to really stand behind their products. I hope to continue to have a positive relationship with my computer & am very pleased thus far. A very solid charming system with many features. I am blessed having such a nice device to run my business & life with. It is a very Namaste Computer. Lastly, it does really cool yoga poses like down dog (tent mode), up dog (Stand), lotus (laptop), & shavasana (tablet mode). I must note still getting used to pinch zoom & tablet mode they take some getting used to. Over time, I love it more & more getting used to new ecosystem. All with unique features. A very groovy & inspiring companion to work on in the age of information :o)

So-so performance; high-res is problem, not a bonus
by mgbrown30 on January 12, 2014
Pros: Various modes are nice.
Laptop is a nice size and weight.
The rubberized covering on the keyboard limits hand sweating (versus aluminum covers).
Cons: Screen resolution is too high and not compatible with Windows and much software, resulting in tiny font, particularly with remote desktop connection, unless you change resolution before using certain software.
Summary: High-res screen is not compatible with Windows or other software and creates display problems with font size. As usual, Microsoft, software vendors, and Lenovo are all pointing the finger at ...
Summary: High-res screen is not compatible with Windows or other software and creates display problems with font size. As usual, Microsoft, software vendors, and Lenovo are all pointing the finger at each other.
Tablet mode will not consistently unhide task bar and does not automatically give you the electronic keyboard (the latter a stupid feature of Windows 8 trying to force tablet users into using the Start screen, so not Lenovo's fault), so it is impossible to type in tablet mode if you want to auto-hide the task bar. Tech support could not fix this even after a fresh reinstall. Not sure if that is a Windows problem or hardware issue.
Many programs make the font impossible to see. Lenovo forgot to think about whether software was actually compatible with their ultra-high resolution. That oversight has soured my impression of the machine overall. If you want to use remote desktop connection, for example, you will have to adjust your resolution before remoting in or else you will barely be able to see the text of your programs as it will be tiny.
The performance is also lackluster. I purchased their fastest machine for about $1,800, and I expected more based on the specs.
I may give the ThinkPad Yoga a try since it has a normal resolution, but the Yoga 2 is going back.
The stupidity of choosing a resolution that doesn't work with existing software makes me think perhaps it is time to look at a Mac. I can't stand the price of overpaying for hardware, but at least if something goes wrong with a Mac, we can demonstrate whose fault it is and who owes us a fix. This has been a very frustrating experience.

Almost everything I wanted in a hybrid.
by caywen123 on November 30, 2013
Pros: - Awesome screen (do apply Lenovo's yellow patch!)
- Core i5/i7 power
- Tablet and other modes work great
- Keyboard is great
- Thin and light as a MacBook Air
- Non-flashy design belies how great this design is.
Cons: - Battery life is about 6, maybe 6.5 hours (5 under load, 8 light use w/ dim screen). Not great but still decent enough.
- Finicky trackpad. Maybe I'm just used to how awesome trackpads are on Macbooks. It's ok, but Synaptics still has work to do.

Summary: I'm in love with this machine. Tablet mode works well. Some might balk at a 13" heavy tablet, but keep in mind that it's a 13" tablet, and the screen real estate is great for reading large docs.
But what works even better is stand mode. On the couch, stand mode is like tablet mode, but better. You don't even have to hold the tablet, so both your hands are free. It's actually nicer to use than a tablet on a couch! Especially when crossing your legs.
Stand mode is simply great on your desk when plugged into a monitor and full keyboard / mouse. The keyboard is out of the way, and the Y2P acts perfectly as the second monitor.
I do wish the battery life was better, but I get a solid 6 hours from it doing real work. The power adapter is small, so easy to take with you.
The trackpad, however, needs some work. I hope Lenovo updates its drivers soon. It doesn't support 2-finger tap to right-click, which I have gotten used to on my MBP. It's serviceable, however. The touchscreen makes up for it, however.
The final nitpick is that I wish it had Intel HD 5000 graphics. It only comes with HD 4400. But so far, Blender and Unity 3D work like a charm, so good enough for me.
What I love the most about this is that it's absolutely fun as a consumption device and has its own advantages against a pure tablet. It's not super thin and light, but when the keyboard rests on your lap in Stand mode, it's beautiful how engaging it is. And then when you need to work, it's as solid a laptop as a MacBook Air, and you can code / write / edit all day without even realizing this is a hybrid device. It's simply great as a laptop.
I got the Core i7 / 256 GB SSD version from Best Buy for $1199. Great deal. I highly, highly recommended it.

-Speakers are loud and crisp
-Backlight keyboard a welcome addition
Cons: -Glossy screen

Summary: I've owned my Yoga 2 for a little over a month, and bought it on the recommendation from a friend who adored the Yoga 1.
At $999, the Core i5 Yoga is a steal from Best Buy, if you can get your hands on one. Is it perfect? No. But Lenovo is coming along, and although they seem to have focused on some marketing hype for this rendition of the Yoga (the Pro moniker, the overly optimistic 3200x1800 screen, etc.), they've noticeably improved this ultrabook over its predecessor.
The build quality is excellent. The solidly constructed dual-hinge system allows for smooth transitions between each mode. If you're unfamiliar with Windows 8, as I was, it will likely be a hassle to adapt to initially. I've played some newer (albeit, less graphically intense) games such as Space Engineers at high settings with no issues, but you won't be able to run them at the native 3200x1800 resolution. Speaking of which, the high resolution on a 13" screen limits a lot of its effectiveness, and the screen glare, while not entirely noticeable with higher brightness settings, is annoying enough that I recently bought an anti-glare screen protector.
Limited, but quality apps are available for each mode; the cooking app is my favorite so far: You can swipe your hands in front of the Yoga to go to the next step of each recipe. Practical? Maybe not often, but good to have. This is representative of many of the Yoga "modes", they are cool, but not always useful.
As for some of the negatives - the yellow color issues, the battery life, the Wifi. To begin, the yellow tinge is a nonissue for me, which I admit may not be representative of many reading this. Lenovo has released a BIOS update which fixes the problem.
As for the battery life, a lot comes down to the settings. Check the advanced settings to make sure your "Balanced" and "Power Saver" settings have the drivers and such set to conserve power, and not at maximum performance. In most settings, I don't need to put the screen brightness above 50%. For its part, my Yoga 2 gives me about 6 hours of battery doing general tasks. Hardly impressive, but I have yet to experience a
As for the weight, the Yoga is light for an ultrabook, heavy for a tablet. The Intel processors and the Intel HD 4400 graphics are good, but the latter is not great. The RAM is fast, and I've had no issues so far. The SDD is nice, but I've read that it's a bit slow, and the base size (128 gb) is fairly small. The backlight keyboard is pretty sweet, although I wish it had multiple brightness levels.
Overall, this is the best laptop I've ever owned, and it has enough features that make the more minor things non issues.

Better than retina display, sleek/chic, and fun!
by SallyHenderson on February 13, 2014
Pros: Stunning display
Four convenient, versatile and useful modes
Battery life and charge time
Fast 8GB Ram
Build quality
Cons: The touch bad is not fully centered in between the space bar/keyboard so sometimes your right palm opens the charms bar when you're typing.
Some of the pre-loaded Lenovo apps make no sense at all. I deleted and uninstalled them immediately.

Summary: This computer is so much fun! I sold my former MacBook Pro with Retina (too- heavy, didn't need the speed, and wanted something with touch versatility) for the yoga 2 pro. The amazing display is fabulous. I can view my 40 mega pixel pictures with the photo app with amazing clarity, blu-ray's look surreal on this display as well.
The Yoga 2 Pro supports 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity similar to an advanced wacom,there are some styluses, drivers, and brushes you can buy for more options. Works seamlessly with photo shop and illustrator. Even the fresh paint app is fun and has some super awesome features that make iOS's paper look like a joke!
As far as a Windows 8.1 critique, I like to stay in metro mode as much as possible, and explorer only works in metro mode if it is set as your default browser (why>!) I enjoy using chrome for everything, but when I don't want to switch to desktop mode (especially when I'm using it in tablet, stand or tent mode) I enjoy staying in metro.
I questioned some of the usefulness of all four modes thinking that I'd spend most of my time in tablet or laptop mode, but I find them all useful for different things. When I need to type (like right now) or am working on projects for work, I use laptop mode. When I'm chilling out on my couch watching tv or a movie and just playing around on the NY Times app (which is great!) and split screening with facebook app or twitter, I find stand mode to be the best and most convenient. When at a coffee shop or desk 'consuming' instead of 'producing' the tent mode is the most useful, and honestly, the tablet mode is the one I lease often use. It's too heavy for me to hold as a tablet, unless I'm laying on a couch and have my knees bent to rest it against (but then why not just use stand mode?) Regardless, Even when I had my iPad, I rarely held it, I used it mostly with its stand.
All in all I'm loving this machine, totally recommend, and makes windows 8.1 feel (nearly) seamless!
Great intention but flawed reality
by KirkSylvester on December 24, 2013
Pros: When you first get the Yoga 2 Pro, it's quite impressive. Great design, seems fast, superb hi-res vivid screen, and the convertible yoga features are great... I really wanted to like it..but...
Cons: ... I had the i7 8GB version and it really seemed to struggle performance wise.
Critical flaws. Google "Yellow Yoga" It's fixed, sort of. I also had major wifi problems. Lots of network issues. Wireless display. Would not work.

Summary: I ordered the laptop and had it for 3 weeks. While I think it's a great machine, especially for the price at $1300. I just expected it to be less buggy and perform better. I ended up returning it for a refund.
For casual use, I think it's a great value. But if you are looking for a performance machine, don't let the high specs fool you. It just doesn't perform like one. It performs like it's priced.
Very versatile what more could you ask for?
by Altsysrq on December 3, 2013
Pros: Resolution is beautiful
Battery life
Gaming is pretty good
laptop body has an anti-fingerprint coating
Cons: Color issues
Resolution needs tweaking when playing games
Synaptic touchpad is a little goofy and needs some getting used to.
Summary: I love this thing. So far it replaces a large tablet, workstation, and regular laptop for me. The micro HDMI connection makes this especially useful as a workstation.

Summary: I love this thing. So far it replaces a large tablet, workstation, and regular laptop for me. The micro HDMI connection makes this especially useful as a workstation.
Battery life is pretty good. Initially, when purchased, the laptop provided about 5-6 hours. However, I have gotten more than 7-9 hours after a few charges, the initial break in, and removing applications from startup.
Gaming is pretty good, but you have to tweak some games in order for them to not stutter and perform well. I don't expect most games to handle the high resolution, but when you decrease the resolution some games will refuse to span the entire screen (black borders). This issue is related to the game and not all games have this trouble. This issue may not be present when using an external monitor too.
Color issues as mentioned in another review can be fixed with a bios update and really is no big deal. Unless paying special attention to yellow I don't even notice it. Synaptic touchpad is a little goofy and needs some getting used to. Many features that cause problems can be turned off.
Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. It was more than worth the money.
Great computer, with a short-term relationship
by aspnetgeek on November 20, 2013
Pros: Screen is amazing
Machine is fast
Bundled with less crapware
Extremely light.
Cons: Battery life is a lie. The ads say 9 hours, but I'm lucky to get 4 hours.
The screen looks amazing, but because it's so big, none of my software (namely, Adobe products) do not scale up to this resolution. While this can be fixed, see above.
Summary: I could have lived waiting for the apps to be upgraded to 3200x1800 resolution, but I can't deal with 4 hours of battery life. 6 hours would have been ...
Summary: I could have lived waiting for the apps to be upgraded to 3200x1800 resolution, but I can't deal with 4 hours of battery life. 6 hours would have been okay, but this is not a long-term relationship when Lenovo lies about the battery life by so much--simply unacceptable.

Summary: I had thought I had done enough research on which ultrabook I wanted to replace my aging 17" laptop and Samsung tablet and had decided on the Yoga 2 pro.
Firstly the resolution I knew might be an issue from the reviews but I just didn't realise HOW small the icons and fonts are with this massive resolution actually are......WAY TO SMALL. OK I could change the resolution which I planned to do but after only one week and endless problems and faults I have decided to return it for a refund.
I would have expected a £1000 machine to at least have sufficient software included to play media files but no nothing except windows media player which is poor to say the least. I popped my USB Stick with some of my favourite media files on in MKV Format. Lenovo recommends an App for these VLC but the link doesn't work.
It wouldn't recognise my external my DVD drive so unable to play my DVD'S or copy files to DVD.
Next the screen refused to rotate in the Tent and Tablet modes, Tech Support suggested I follow his instructions and reset Windows to factory setting losing some of the Apps I had downloaded in the process ( just glad they were free )This solved the rotating issue but stopped the SD Card slot working in the process.
On a week old £1000 laptop enough is enough It is getting returned for a refund which is a great pity as I was so looking forward to owning this.
BTW I asked the tech support guy if they were having any issues with the pro2 and he was a bit sketchy and said they had sold out in December sometimes there can be quality control issues when rushing orders though or words to that effect Hmmmmmm !!!!
Maybe worth waiting a few months
Final comment is very dissapointed with the bundled software or lack of it for the price

CYPRESS, Texas (AP) - A Texas sheriff says the suspect in a stabbing attack at a Houston-area college is a man believed to be about 21-years-old who is enrolled at the school.
More than a dozen people were wounded in the Tuesday attack on the Lone Star Community College System's campus in Cypress.
Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia says officers responded to the campus after receiving a call about a white male "on the loose" stabbing people.
Garcia says the suspect is in custody.
CYPRESS, Texas (AP) - Officials say about a dozen people have been wounded in a stabbing attack at Houston-area college campus.
Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department spokesman Robert Rasa says 12 people were taken to area hospitals after the Tuesday attack on the Lone Star community college system's campus in Cypress. The Harris County Sheriff's department confirmed at least 11 people wounded and that authorities have one suspect in custody.
Both agencies say at least four of those injured were LifeFlighted in critical condition. Rasa says several patients refused treatment at the scene.

NASA is considering an ambitious new proposal, that would include capturing a near Earth asteroid, and moving it to a suitable orbit for further study.
President Obama announced the initiative in April, but scientific skeptics are making their voices heard.
Arizona State University planetary scientist Jim Bell, PhD, was among a group of scientists invited to Washington, in July, to participate in a panel of the National Academy of Sciences, to discuss the feasibility of the project with NASA leadership.
The mission cost, the development of the technology necessary to capture the asteroid, and actually locating a suitable asteroid for retrieval, are all elements that make this proposal difficult, but not impossible, according to Bell.
"It's a mix of skepticism and excitement," says Bell. "The costs are not well defined, there are technologies that have to be developed to make this happen."
The proposal calls for a robotic capsule powered by solar panels to deploy, what is essentially a large bag that would collect an asteroid roughly twenty feet in diameter.
The small spacecraft would then tow the asteroid into a different orbit around the moon, for future astronauts to travel to and study.
Scientists have identified and charted around 10,000 asteroids. Of those, only 370 are small enough to fit within the parameters of this project. However, only 14 of those travel in an orbit suitable to work with.
"It's very challenging. There are several survey programs going on with telescopes, including telescopes here in Arizona looking for these objects in the sky and starting to find more and more of them over time but finding the exact right one is going to be a challenge," said Bell.
The estimated cost for the project ranges between $1 and $2.5 billion dollars.

Hunter Pence is not a great Major League Baseball player.
Our analysis must follow from that fact ... but first, I suppose, I should try to establish the fact.
I'll start with this: Hunter Pence has played three full seasons, 2008-2010. In those three seasons, Pence ranked 43rd in Major League Baseball with 10.8 Wins Above Replacement (fWAR).
Is 43rd great? That depends on where you draw the line. But Pence has never scored 100 runs in a season, or driven home 100. He's not on the golden road to Cooperstown.
His hitting stats have ticked up slightly this season, but FanGraphs doesn't like Pence's fielding or his baserunning, so he comes out 57th in WAR.
Yeah: 57th. Without even counting pitchers.
Maybe FanGraphs ain't fair to Pence's various skills, but the guy's not going into the Hall of Fame and he really hasn't delivered on the promise he showed as a rookie in 2007.
He's good, but he's not great. Which doesn't mean he's not useful. Hunter Pence is somewhat better (for now) than Domonic Brown, and he's a lot better than Raul Ibañez. A year from now, when Ibañez is (finally) gone, Brown can take over in right field with Pence shifting to left, and the Phillies will have a crackerjack outfield. It probably won't be a great outfield but, like Pence, it'll be good.
The Phillies are better with Pence than without him, both this season and (especially) next. That's not really in question.
What's in question is the price the Phillies are paying for Pence, a price consisting largely of prospects Jonathan Singleton and Jarred Cosart.
Singleton's a young (19) 1B/DH/LF type who certainly wasn't going to ever play first base for the Phillies, and probably won't play left field for anyone. He can hit, though. Did I mention that he's young?
Cosart's not as young. Last year, he blew away the South Atlantic League, striking out nearly five times more batters than he walked. This year, he's been just decent in the Florida State League, striking out less than twice as many as he's walked. Maybe it doesn't mean anything. But it's a hiccup, at least.
Entering this season, the Phillies' top five prospects were Domonic Brown, Jonathan Singleton, Brody Colvin, Jarred Cosart and Trevor May.
You know about Brown, Singleton and Cosart. Brody Colvin's a Class A pitcher who's taken a small step backward this summer (statistically, anyway). May is a teammate of Colvin's, and has taken a step forward this summer (statistically, anyway). Then there's Sebastian Valle, a Clearwater teammate of both Colvin and May, who's established himself as the Phillies' Catcher of the Future. Though in his case, the Future is probably two or three years away (which is fine; he just turned 21 and Chooch has a .356 career OBP).
Brown was a Grade A prospect, and still is (if you consider him a prospect). None of the others were Grade A prospects, and still none of them are. Singleton's still the best of them, while May might have passed Colvin and Cosart this summer.
My point?
I've got a couple of them.
The first is that the Phillies did not trade -- and the Astros did not trade for -- a truly outstanding, can't-miss prospect. The Phillies traded for a couple of Florida State League players who will probably reach the majors but might not do much more than that. Singleton and Cosart are both too far from the majors to say more than that.
The second is that the Phillies, for all their considerable resources, can go to this well only so many times. Two years ago, the Phillies traded Carlos Carrasco and Lou Marson to the Indians for Cliff Lee. A few months later, the Phillies traded Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor and Travis d'Arnaud to the Blue Jays for Roy Halladay. A year ago, the Phillies traded Anthony Gose and Jonathan Villar to the Astros for Roy Oswalt. Now they've traded two more of their best prospects for Hunter Pence.
Each of those moves made the Phillies better, in that moment, and that paragraph should serve as a stirring tribute to the Phillies' scouts and their player-development personnel, as the organization couldn't have made all those deals without a wealth of minor-league talent. The wellspring is going to dry up eventually, though; it's hard enough to accumulate that much talent, but doing it again is nearly impossible.
And what happens when the well is dry? Ruben Amaro is going to have to figure out a new way to win. Or be willing to lose for a year or two. Because while he's obviously quite accomplished at spending gobs of money and trading oodles of prospects, it's not clear what will happen when he can do just one of those things, or neither of them.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) -- An Arizona stockbroker convicted of killing his ex-wife has been sentenced to life in prison. Steven DeMocker was sentenced Friday on first-degree murder and other convictions in Yavapai County Superior Court in Prescott. Prosecutors said the 60-year-old DeMocker bludgeoned 53-year-old Carol Kennedy with a golf club at the Prescott home the two once shared, shattering her skull. Prosecutors say DeMocker's motive was to cash in on Kennedy's life insurance policy and avoid monthly alimony payments at a time when he was deep in debt. DeMocker has maintained he is innocent, and his lawyers said authorities didn't properly investigate Kennedy's death. The case against DeMocker relied heavily on circumstantial evidence, as prosecutors had no DNA, eyewitnesses, blood, a confession or other evidence tying DeMocker directly to the crime.

By Bay City News Service
At least eight drivers have been arrested for driving under in the influence of drugs or alcohol during the first seven days of the winter crackdown on impaired driving in Solano County, according to police.
From Dec. 14 through Dec. 20, officers representing 11 county law enforcement agencies have arrested at least eight individuals for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
DUI arrests during the same seven-day time period in 2011 are down from 22, police said.
The multi-agency DUI task force will continue to seek out impaired drivers on the roads of Solano County during the Christmas and New Year's weekends.
The California Highway Patrol will also deploy all available officers to locate impaired drivers during the holiday weekends.
The region-wide crackdown consists of multiple DUI/driver's license checkpoints and patrols.
Police, Sheriff and CHP officials have asked all motorists to report drivers they suspect to be driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol by calling 911.
The crackdown is made possibly by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Cleveland CG16 Tour Satin Chrome Iron Set comes from the most trusted name in wedges. For the first time, Cleveland designed matching iron sets that feature the same industry-leading face and groove technology offered in their famous wedges. The faces of the irons feature wedge-authentic milled Tour Zip Grooves and laser-milled face technology to optimize spin for improved distance control. The soles feature the club number as well as the loft values to allow players to more easily integrate their iron set with a strategically selected wedge set to even distance gap spacing. This set is designed as a scoring set with precision and accuracy in mind from the longest iron to the highest lofted wedge. The CG16 Tour Irons are an all-around player's set made for serious golfers that demand solid feel, workability and prefer just a touch of forgiveness. The modest cavity back with an engineered undercut improves ball speed, mis-hit distance and accuracy.

|Teachers need to be armed with guns
We spend hundreds of thousands on our schools -- grassed and irrigated school yards, sporting equipment, stadiums, security cameras, fire alarms, on and on.
But there are no weapons to protect our children and grandchildren in a town like ours, with a large school, hospital, nursing home and day care.
This is no reflection on our police or sheriff's departments. They would respond to a shooter, but in the time they may get there it may be too late. I think teachers should have concealed weapon licenses, with the fortitude to use a weapon, the skill to use it and the fortitude to kill an intruder who is killing our children, teachers, cooks and maintenance men.
Our country isn't Disneyland anymore.

The Daily Caller
On Wednesday evening, Koch Companies Public Sector (KCPS) fired back at Color of Change, telling The Daily Caller that recent left-wing attacks on corporate sponsors of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) are really aimed at the free market and its supporters -- not at ALEC's support for the bipartisan "stand your ground" legislation that became a lightning rod after the Feb. 26 Trayvon Martin shooting.
Philip Ellender, president and chief operating officer of government and public affairs at KCPS, told TheDC that the anti-ALEC campaign is designed "not only to intimidate, but to silence supporters of free-market principles and those who oppose the current policies that are worsening our already ruinous deficits."
ALEC has come under fire from Color of Change and its allies, many of whom also recently targeted the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation had awarded ALEC a November 2011 grant "to educate and engage its membership on more efficient state budget approaches to drive greater student outcomes, as well as educate them on beneficial ways to recruit, retain, evaluate and compensate effective teaching based upon merit and achievement."
Following a public-pressure campaign from Color of Change -- a left-wing group co-founded by 9-11 "truther" and former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones -- the Gates Foundation elected to drop ALEC from its list of future grantees. It maintains that it will fulfill $376,000 in future payments that have already been pledged.
The New York Times reports that Coca-Cola Co, Kraft Foods Inc and PepsiCo Inc. have also ended their support for the conservative lobbying and networking organization.
Founded by the late conservative activist Paul Weyrich in 1973, ALEC describes itself as "the nation's largest, non-partisan, individual public-private membership association of state legislators."
In a 2007 book critical of ALEC, "Business and environmental policy: Corporate interests in the American political system," Sheldon Kamieniecki and Michael E. Kraft wrote that "ALEC's membership base includes nearly one-third of all sitting state legislators and most of its resources are derived from corporations and trade associations."
"It offers regular conferences and training sessions but is perhaps best known for drafting model legislation that can easily be adopted by an individual state and introduced into a legislature."
Bill Gates is a supporter of charter schools -- one outgrowth of model legislation -- but he is generally more hesitant on the politically charged issue of school vouchers. He has poured billions of dollars into reforming public education through his foundation. But a 2011 Wall Street Journal profile called his foundation's approach to education reform "more evolution, less disruption. It attempts to do as much good as possible without upsetting too many players."
This cautious strategy seems to have made the Microsoft CEO's efforts to reform public education a prime target for Color of Change, whose editorials have already indicated that their anti-ALEC campaign's true target is the libertarian Koch brothers.
"The motive behind this latest activist attack is much broader than this ["stand your ground" gun law] issue," Ellender told TheDC in an email. "These are the same well-funded, anti-free market forces that have been engaged in the orchestrated, politically motivated attacks against Koch over the past three years."
The Times reported that Sprint and AT&T have also come under pressure from Color of Change. "Some corporations that are ALEC members have said they stood by ALEC's work in policy areas that are important to their businesses and that are unrelated to guns or voting laws," an article read.

by Spokane Chiefs Media RelationsSPOKANE, Wash. – Despite allowing an early goal to the Warriors, goalie Eric Williams put forth one of his most impressive performances of the season as he stopped 24 of 25 shots – including all 15 in the second and third periods – in the Spokane Chiefs 3-1 victory over Moose Jaw on Saturday night.
Just over 6 minutes into the second period, Riley Whittingham – after a great feed from Hudson Elynuik – slapped the puck hard off Warriors' goaltender Justin Poulic's glove and into the back of the net to knot the game up at 1. Just 8 minutes later, Keanu Yamamoto scored his first game-winning goal of the season; his fourth goal overall. Jason Fram was credited with his 50th-career assist on Yamamoto's goal. Jeremy McIntosh also collected an assist on the same goal.
Mitch Holmberg, who was scoreless in his past four games, added an empty-net goal at the end of the game for the final margin. Holmberg now has 43 goals on the season and leads the WHL with 85 points.
Spokane was whistled for a game-high seven penalties leading to six Moose Jaw power plays, including three in the second. But the Chiefs' penalty kill unit held strong and went a perfect 6-for-6 on the night. Spokane's own power play, which has fallen to fourth in the league, was 0-for-3.
Spokane returns to the Arena tomorrow night, Saturday, January 25th, for Washington Army National Guard Buck Night & CheerStix Giveaway as the Chiefs will host rival Tri-City Americans. The Chiefs will wear special military-themed jerseys which will be auctioned off on the main concourse. Tomorrow will also mark the first time Jackson Playfair returns to the Arena since being swapped for Marcus Messier at January's trade deadline.
Tickets for all Chiefs home games are available in-person at the Chiefs' Ticket Office, over the phone at (509) 535-PUCK, via TicketsWest outlets and online at www.ticketswest.com.

James May goes on an international quest to find the ultimate car of the people. For a Top Gear special, these cars are rather small in stature. But that doesn't stop Captain Slow from having a marvelous time.
If you thought Top Gear would calm down a bit and the presenters would start to act their age. Well you're wrong. Season 10 is one of the most ambitious, featuring some challenges that only the very brave or the very stupid would dare to undertake. Of course Top Gear is much more than just three grown men who should know better larking about. Therell be some serious car journalism in there too with exhaustive road tests of the latest models looks back at the history of motoring man versus machine experiments and weekly power tests featuring the worlds most exotic super cars.
In the premiere, hosts Jeremy, Richard and James set out to discover what Top Gear might have been like 60 years ago.
Top Gear takes extraordinary and ordinary cars to the limit and beyond to find out if they're as good as manufacturers claim. Full of extreme stunts, challenges, celebrity appearances and weekly features, Top Gear is far more than a car show, you'll find no boring stats or impenetrable conversations about camshafts here.
Richard Hammond puts the pedal to the metal to see if cow poo can successfully power a car.
You'll have to trawl a ton of clips to find a film in which Jeremy uses the word 'brilliant' so often. It's like watching a QVC Diamonique showcase.
In the interest of testing the urban myth that if you drive fast enough you'll outfox a speed camera, the Stig rolls out his full fast armory. Can a TVR pull this off?
Jeremy has a nightmare with the Z8, and while the Stig's hitting the track in it, there follows a very contrived joke about why the Z8 is like James' trousers.
No, it's not the French Riviera but the cut-price Brit version. Jeremy takes the Bentley Continental GT to a place that sounds like a Bentley owner's name. Sort of.
Top Gear Assistant Publisher Simon Carrington proves that on the old Google, everything is still new to someone.

text: Street-Style Looks For New York Fashion Week Spring 2014 What Will the Street-Style Stars Be Rocking at NYFW? by Melissa Liebling-Goldberg 9/04/13 404 Reactions 21 Shares Print 3 2 15 0 1 With New York Fashion Week only two weeks away, you can be sure that the Miroslavas, Taylors, and Leandras of the world are carefully picking their favorite pieces hot off the runways to turn the plaza of Lincoln Center into their own personal catwalk. And what will they pick to wear? Our money is on seeing plenty from the much-loved 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2013 collection, with more than a dash of Céline and plenty of embellished sweatshirts and lug-sole shoes. Click through to see our picks for the street-style set, and stay tuned for more on NYFW as we get closer! Nicholas Kirkwood For Prabal Gurung What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Prabal Gurung showed his Fall 2013 collection in the aftermath of a major blizzard, but the fashion flock still got feverish over these ultimate bondage-boots-meets-ladylike-loafers hybrid. Source: Getty / Victor VIRGILE 1 / 21 3.1 Phillip Lim Jacket What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's hard to pick any one piece from Lim's grunge-influenced Fall 2013 collection as a street style standout — it's made to be worn (and photographed) on the cool girls. But the bold color, phoenix detailing, and slouchy feel of this jacket ($1,395) is extra-on-target. 2 / 21 LPD T-Shirt What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Is LPD the new Brian Lichtenberg? Street-style stars love a self-referential t-shirt ($85), and what could be better than showing your allegiance to the top designers of the world? After all, we're all on someone's team here. 3 / 21 Saint Laurent Boots What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Oh hey, Hedi. From the second Hanne stomped down the runway at the Saint Laurent show, these studded combat boots ($1,395) were destined to be the most wanted shoe of the season. We expect to see the truly haute in this one-of-a-kind, price-upon-request, ultra-embellished version. 4 / 21 Meredith Wendell Backpack What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Backpacks are in, and so is colorblocking. What better way to combine them than with Meredith Wendell's candy-colored satin version ($495)? 6 / 21 Chanel Fur Cap What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 OK, sure, it will still be 80 degrees out in New York when Fashion Week begins, but we don't think that will stop any blogger from being spotted in these close-to-the-head fuzzy caps. Source: Getty / Catwalking 6 / 21 Chloé Purse What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 From the house that never fails to deliver the newest It bag comes the Baylee ($2,250) — a soft two-tone tote that promises to hold small laptops with ease but look dressed up enough to go from the day's shows to the night's megaparties. 7 / 21 Alexander Wang Mules What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Leave it to the arbiter of NYC cool to resuscitate the mule into a high-fashion must have. And this high-heeled pointed-toe option ($575) is the perfect transitional shoe for when the weather bounces up and down 20 degrees in a day in NYC. 8 / 21 Mary Katrantzou Prints What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 London's master of the moody print is a favorite among the top echelon of showgoers for good reason — the cuts are simply flattering, while the patterns never fail to entrance. Source: Getty / Tim Whitby 9 / 21 Lanvin Ring What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Do you need to announce that you're cool if you actually are? In this case, yes, yes, and yes. Alber Elbaz has created a line of statement jewelry — including this Stephanie gold-tone ring ($875) — that's just begging to be snatched up. 11 / 21 Tibi Denim Pants What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Got to get in an Empire state of mind for NYFW, and Tibi has made it as easy (and bold) as possible with its easy denim pants ($265) with a photographic print of the landmark itself. 11 / 21 Céline Wedges What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 An It shoe that's totally walkable and in neutrals? It's an It girl's dream come true. Expect to see these high wedges ($1,090) paired with distressed denim and sharply tailored pantsuits alike. 12 / 21 Miu Miu Bag What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you want to stand out, how about snagging a Miu Miu purse that is the size of the average suitcase? It could fit a change of clothes, a camera bag, and a full day's worth of juices. Source: Getty / Catwalking 13 / 21 3.1 Phillip Lim Jumpsuit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We told you that it was impossible to pick just one piece from 3.1 Phillip Lim! This badge-emblazoned jumpsuit ($1,295) sold out practically the minute it went up online, and we're pretty sure we know just who has it in their closets now. 14 / 21 Céline Purse What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you are over the classic Céline bags, then here's the latest and greatest for the season. A woven clutch that's as roomy as the luggage tote but perfectly packable for those coming in from out of town? It's a no-brainer. Source: Getty / Victor VIRGILE 15 / 21 Milly Clutch What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 So maybe you can't afford that Céline clutch but you still want a standout? We have a feeling that we'll see plenty of younger editors and bloggers with this oversize holographic clutch ($375) that was the hit of the Milly Fall 2013 collection. 16 / 21 Tom Ford Boots What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 These over-the-knee patchwork fur boots ($3,775) are not for the faint of heart, but no one has ever accused Anna Dello Russo of being a shrinking violet. 17 / 21 Stella McCartney Boots What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For those who have to hustle between shows all day, shoes that are recognizably designer, on-trend, and walkable are a fantasy. Luckily, Stella McCartney is just the woman to figure that mix out with this maxi-tred pair ($1,180). 18 / 21 Louis Vuitton Slip Dress What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We've already spotted Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss in the style, so now it's time for editors to show off their svelte physiques in the lingerie-inspired dress.

JEFFERSON COUNTY - Sheriff's deputies reopened Interstate 70 westbound at Morrison Road after a short pursuit for a pair of menacing suspects.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department says it received a call from a person who says they were being harassed by the drivers of two cars. Police say the driver was showing a gun to that driver on I-70 at Ward Road.
When deputies spotted both suspect vehicles on I-70 near the Morrisson Road exit, one of thevehicles hita deputy's cruiser. Deputies were able to perform a "PIT maneuver" to stop that vehicle.
However, when that car came to a stop, the driver, later identified as 22-year-old Michael Hutchins, got out and ran to the other suspect's car and got in. That driver, later identified as Michael's wife, 22-year-old Sierra Hutchins,led deputies on a chase westbound on I-70.
Sierra then hit a dead end on Lookout Mountain Road off of I-70. Both Sierra and Michael got out of the car and started running.
Police were able to catch both of them. Sierra and Michael are now in custody and face multiple charges such as felony menacing, felony eluding and attempted escape. Sierra was booked for second-degree assault of a peace officer and felony eluding.
The interstate was closed for nearly three hours because the suspect's car was blocking the highway.
Deputies recovered items thrown from Sierra's car during the chase. Police determined the items were inconsequential to their investigation.
No one was hurt during the chase.

Article by: Liza Weisstuch - Somewhere, the ghosts of colonists are smiling. The spirit that the New England settlers not only consumed by the punch bowl, but produced in great volumes and used as currency, is undergoing a major revival. But this resurgent interest is hardly a rush for rum and colas or a nostalgia-driven longing for piña colada paradise. It's a fast-growing understanding among distributors, retailers and bartenders, and, hence consumers, that rum can be as diverse as whisk(e)y [...] Read More »

Australia's Yarra Vally
Article by: Bill Nesto, MW - Australia, a continent the size of the USA, seems to occupy a virtual space, not a real one, hulking at the fringes just as it appears on our world maps.

As someone who appreciates that region's wine, the disaster unexpectedly pulled at my emotions. I had experienced the Valley through the [...] Read More »
The Changing Face of the Beer Industry
Article by: Andy Crouch - Starting in earnest during the early years of the 198Os, few could have guessed just how much the complexion of the American beer industry would change. It's moved from an era when a small handful of corporate brewers reigned supreme from coast to coast to a time when the plains are dotted with the brands of nearly fifteen hundred small craft brewers. Throw in hundreds of immigrating brands from brewers from all corners of [...] Read More »

The city will be amending its tax increment finance redevelopment plan for the Industrial Park Conservation TIF to allow for residential development in the area.
"The redevelopment plan did not anticipate housing development being a possibility in the IPC TIF district," said City Manager Ron Neibert. "The high school making the area near it as its new site has changed the area a little bit. What was once attractive for heavy industrial development is now attractive for a lighter development that includes some housing."
At this time, there is one developer which has expressed interest in doing some housing in the TIF area, RJ3A, which had a TIF inducement resolution approved by the council in September 2012. Plans from the company include an apartment complex, possibly a hotel and a retail development, located north of the new Mt. Vernon Township High School site on Wells Bypass.
Neibert told members of the City Council on Monday the developer has agreed to pay the $14,000 estimated cost for the redevelopment plan revision up front. The council approved moving forward with the revision.
In other business, the council:
- Approved a bid of $37,000 for materials to build two park shelters, one at Veterans Park and the other at Dawson Park. Recent bids for the construction of Veterans Park shelter came in higher than budget, so city employees will now do the labor on both the shelters and purchase the materials from the low bidder of Americana Building Products of Salem;
- Held a first reading on an ordinance to revise the liquor ordinance to eliminate the combined wine maker/brew pub retail license and create a wine makers retail license. The license would allow alcoholic liquor to be sold at a winery;
- Held a first reading on an ordinance to transfer surplus property to the north of Byrd Watson and a property adjacent to the United Methodist Church parking lot on North 12th Street. The property would be deeded to Byrd Watson, which has expressed an interest in demolishing the existing structures on the properties and converting the areas into additional parking;
- Reclassified certain public utilities and sanitation accounts; and
- Approved a resolution requesting approval from the Illinois Department of Transportation for closing Illinois Route 15 from Marlow Road to Old Fairfield Road on July 4 for the Salute to Freedom fireworks display.

Judge revokes Lohan's probation
5:42pm Wednesday 12th December 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
A Los Angeles judge has revoked Lindsay Lohan's probation and scheduled a violation hearing that could result in more jail time for the 26-year-old actress.
The Mean Girls star faces three counts of reckless driving, lying to a police officer and obstructing an officer from performing duties after an accident in which her Porsche slammed into the back of a lorry in June.
Authorities allege Li-Lo lied about being behind the wheel before the accident. The charges could prompt a probation violation in her 2011 necklace theft case.
Lohan did not appear in court today, but was represented by her lawyer.
The hearing is set for January 15 next year.

Manu Ginobli returned to action for the Spurs but the Grizzlies aren't backing down and lead San Antonio 44-41 at the half. Tony Allen leads the way for the Grizzlies with nine points. Sam Young added eight, while Marc Gasol has six points and 10 rebounds in the first half.
San Antonio out shot the Grizzlies in the first half but Memphis made the most of its extra opportunities by attempting 11 more shots than the Spurs.
Tony Parker, Richard Jefferson, and Tim Duncan all have eight points apiece for San Antonio. Parker has five assists while Ginobli has seven points and four rebounds. Ginobli may be struggling with his shot (2-8) but is playing with the same reckless abandon that we have come accustomed to. He has spent countless times during the first half picking himself up off the floor.
San Antonio may look to get Tim Duncan a little more involved offensively in the second half. Duncan hit all three of his shot attempts in the first two quarters.
For more on the Spurs, fans should visit Pounding The Rock. For more on the Grizzlies, visit Straight Outta Vancouver.

First off, I really want an AK-47.. a bit out of my price range atm though. I have a /26\ Norinco sks 1982 production with a steel 30 round mag for it and it works pretty much flawlessly. I have heard that these types of mags are pretty useless, but from my experience i disagree. This makes it pretty similar in function to the ak47 in terms of round capacity and firepower. So, what should be my incentive for purchasing or trading in my sks for an ak 47?

The Whittier girls basketball team has relied on their half-, mid- and full-court press all season to force turnovers, which create easy offensive opportunities for the now 15-6 Wildcats.
It worked again — this time to the tune of forcing 42 turnovers in a 72-36 rout of Notre Dame of Lawrence.
"We just weren't ready," said Hurricanes head coach Ushearnda Reynolds about Whittier's press. "It was unstoppable. They just put it on us. They knew what to do."
Whittier jumped out to a 15-2 early lead, but a 7-2 Hurricanes run at the end of the first kept the game close early. A sloppy, back-and-forth second quarter made the score 34-20 at the break.
"I told them to put the pedal to the medal," said coach Kevin Bradley about his halftime speech. "We just needed to put someone away."
The message seemed to resonate. Whittier began the second frame on a 9-0 run that effectively put the game out of reach for the No. 11 Hurricanes, including a stretch where Whittier forced turnovers on four consecutive possessions early in the third.
"We didn't move the ball effectively," Reynolds said. "And we didn't press through it."
The Wildcats had four players score in double figures, led by senior forward Danielle Martin's 16. Junior guard Kendra Brasil added 13 points, and guards Christina Medley and Kaisha Rodriguez chipped in 12 each, rounding out the team's balanced offensive attack.
"If we can get into our rhythm, if we can get running, we're unbeatable," Bradley said.
Whittier will face No. 14 seed Matignon, the team that beat the Wildcats in last season's quarterfinal matchup, at home on Friday night. Tipoff is at 7 p.m.
Matignon dominated No. 3 Greater Lowell 59-35 on Monday night, showcasing the strength of the Catholic Central conference.
"They're not a 14 seed," Bradley said.
Bradley said the focus will be on perimeter defense against the Warriors.
"They've got some shooters," he said. "If we can contain them, we'll be all right."
