Traditionally, Americans have not considered it important to have both Congress and the Presidency controlled by the same party, but that has changed dramatically this year. According to Gallup, a record number of Americans would prefer having both branches of government controlled by a single party. A large plurality, 38 percent, would prefer one party control. [...]

Todd Akin Becoming Poison For the Whole GOP
|By: Jon Walker Monday August 20, 2012 1:03 pm
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) wanted to face Rep.

It seems Akin has delivered beyond her [...]

Continued from "Best of Shakespeare" Part Four
1) Shakespeare's "Henry" Cycle
So, if it's not Hamlet and it's not King Lear, you may be wondering which Shakespeare play is dearest to my heart. Here's the answer: The Henriad.
Never heard of it? The Henriad is the name used by some to identify Shakespeare's historical tetralogy. That's right. I cheated. My favorite play by William Shakespeare is actually four plays:
- Richard II
- Henry IV Part One
- Henry IV Part Two
- Henry V
Experienced in sequence, these four plays combine into a remarkable story of power struggles, self-identity, national pride, father-son conflicts, and redemption. This is Shakespeare at his most epic, and it all begins with an unwise king named Richard.
The Tragedy of King Richard the Second:
Richard II thinks he has England under his thumb. He truly believes in his divine right to rule over his kingdom. He goes to war with which ever nation displeases him (watch out, Ireland!), and he exiles whomever causes him strife. However, the king learns a difficult lesson about the consequences of one's actions. When he banishes Henry Bolingbroke (aka the Duke of Hereford) he makes a fatal mistake. The Duke will not stand for permanent exile, and after Richard II tries to swipe away the property of Bolingbroke's deceased father, war ensues and the thirty-three year old king is forced to relinquish his crown.
However, the play doesn't end simply with the coronation of the victorious Henry IV. We witness Richard's tearful farewell to his wife as he is sent to his prison chambers in the distant Pomfret Castle. We hear tales about the crowds pelting the former king with trash and rotten vegetables. And finally, we listen to one of the most reflective and poetic monologues in the play. Here's a small sample:
King Richard:
I have been studying how I may compare
This prison where I live unto the world:
And for because the world is populous
And here is not a creature but myself,
I cannot do it; yet I'll hammer it out.
Act V concludes with poor Richard's murder, as well as hints of what is to come in the next play, Henry IV, Part One. In particular, the final act foreshadows the new king's challenges: a rising rebellion and a tumultuous relationship with his roustabout son.
Henry IV, Part One:
After deposing Richard II, our newly crowned King Henry learns just how difficult regal life can be. He suspects the nobles who helped him gain power, and (much like Richard did in his play) he alienates members of his court to the point of open rebellion. In between the political intrigue, however, two very down-to-earth stories are developed. We meet Prince Hal, a young man who knows that he will eventually ascend to the throne and assume a noble demeanor, but for now he simply wants to enjoy his life with his drunken and foolish friends, such as the obese knight: Sir John Falstaff. The audience also encounters Hal's foil: Hotspur, one of the fiercest warriors in the rebellion. Yet, unlike other antagonists in Shakespeare, Hotspur may be hot-blooded but he is not an evil villain. We see his sensitive side during a scene when he bids farewell to his wife. Therefore, when the two young nobles battle one another, the bloody outcome is all the more profound. During that same battle, by the way, Falstaff steals the show with his comical cowardice.
Henry IV, Part Two:
Although not as intense as Part One, the third play in the Henriad further develops the three main characters: the now frail, sickly king who is nearing death, the redemptive son who is prepared to honor his father by rising to his proper station, and the crowd-pleasing Falstaff who wrongly assumes that he will attain an affluent lifestyle once Prince Hal ascends the throne. The most dramatic moment of the play occurs in the final act; Falstaff is coldly rebuked when he tries to fraternize with the newly crowned king. Even though Sir Falstaff is a coward, a swindler, and a fool, it is hard not to become overwhelmed with pity for the poor knight.
Henry V:
The tetralogy climaxes with this patriotic battle-drama which pits King Henry the Fifth's small "band of brothers" against the overwhelmingly huge French army. As with the earlier plays, the storyline interweaves lives of nobility with the everyday folk of Hal's days as a commoner. This final chapter also returns to the moral problems established in Richard II. King Henry believes that his father's sins (the death of King Richard) might damn his reign. He seeks a way to redeem his family, all the while trying to gain back land England long ago lost to the French.
Henry might have fears and self-doubt, but unlike Hamlet, he is not consumed by them. He strives for and ultimately attains greatness, and he delivers one of the most rousing monologues in theatre history: the famed and beloved St. Crispin's Day speech.

My Reality: Life as a Senior
Kelly Copeland
When you are in college, you become an adult whether you like it or not. You don't have your mom and dad to tell you to stop watching t.v. and start your math homework, nor do you have someone to tell you exactly what classes to take every semester so you can graduate. So you have to figure it out for yourself. One thing they also don't tell you is how to get a job after college. Sure, they give you a little advice, but is that enough? How can you really be an adult if you don't know how to succeed after college?
I am one of the fortunate ones to have a major that prepares me for the field I am entering, but many students do not. It might be hard to know what jobs are out there for someone who majors in history or in English. So, what you have to do if you are one of those students? My first piece of advice is to think about all of the skills you are learning as a result of your major. Are you good at working with people? Do you have a critical eye for situations? Are you organized? Can you write well? These are all skills that can help you in certain careers, and they are valuable ones at that. So, once you have thought about your abilities, think about the types of jobs you can get with those skills.
Next, talk to a counselor or someone in your department and ask them what kinds of jobs are available that are related to your major. Chances are they know some place who could use your skills. From that list, you can decide where your strengths will come in most handy.
When you are a freshman, it is best to try and find an internship related to what you want to do later (or what you think you want to do) so you can get some experience. Hit up the expertise of a family friend who works in the field you want to and see what advice they have, and if they know of any places you could intern. This would most likely be free, but it is completely worth it. I have had numerous internships and not been paid for the work I did, but it was still great experience.
When you are a sophomore, you can try looking online for an internship. You can try monster.com, craigslist.com or jobsearch.com, and at least post your resume for potential employers to look at. An internship in town that only requires a few hours a week will probably be ideal, as would a part-time summer internship. You can also talk to Kristi Mackay in the Career Center or Jessica Wade. They are always willing to help and have a full database of local internships.
I have never tried this, but if you are not from Oregon and are having a hard time finding an internship in your hometown, try the local community college, college or university. Chances are there is a professor who can give you some advice. It never hurts to try.
When you are a junior, you should have a full-time internship. This is the ideal situation because you will have something to put on your resumes for when you graduate. You will also gain great recommendations from your supervisors, which are always helpful. If your internship is one where you get clips or examples, keep those. This is especially helpful in journalism internships, creative writing internships, photography internships and graphic designs internships, where clips are an essential part to the application.
When you are a senior, you should have one or two internships or at least a job shadow experience. Linfield offers a few opportunities, such as the Life After Linfield dinner, a job shadow day, and a career fair in Portland, to meet people who work in your field. They can provide valuable and long-lasting relationships you can use later in your career.
Overall, finding an internship can be stressful. But, remember that you are getting a well-rounded liberal arts education and that your skills are extremely marketable. Work hard and don't let anyone tell you you won't get a job after graduation. If you work hard enough, you'll succeed!

Division I football: Good teams reside beyond SE Valley
Originally published: Sep 4, 2013 - 12:00 am
Note: This article includes schools in the writer's area of coverage, which is as follows: from Fountain Hills west through Scottsdale, all of Phoenix (except for Ahwatukee), the southwest, northwest and northern sections of the metro area. Other locales include northern, northeast and northwest Arizona. Most of this information was obtained from e-mail questionnaires returned by the coaches.
There is no denying that much of the football power in Division I is located in the southeast Valley. Fifteen of the division's 29 teams call the SEV home.
That won't, however, prevent this area's teams from giving it their best shot.
A good example of that was the defensive opening-night struggle between Phoenix Brophy Prep and Scottsdale Desert Mountain.
Desert Mountain appeared to have all the offensive cards in its favor, particularly with a nationally ranked quarterback and wide receiver. But Brophy Prep kept the air game under control and the Wolves off the scoreboard until there were nine seconds left in the game in a 13-6 victory.
Brophy now continues with one of the toughest schedules in the state by traveling to face D-I defending champion Chandler Hamilton.
Senior Brian Woodward leads the way for Brophy at quarterback and safety.
Desert Mountain's top players are quarterback Kyle Allen and receiver Mark Andrews.
Keep an eye on Avondale Westview. The Knights opened with a 55-41 over San Diego Westview in California last weekend.
Westview coach Jeff Bowen lists his top players as quarterback/free safety Kordell Provchy, linebacker Richie Miranda, defensive end Cody Carrel and offensive lineman Christian Balderas.
Anthem Boulder Creek had 12 returning starters and played Mesa Mountain View tough before falling 24-19.
The Jaguars are led by junior strong safety/running back Ryan Parenteau, senior linebacker/running back Isaiah Birkel and junior two-way lineman Nathan Eldridge.
Former defensive coordinator Jason Randels takes over as head coach and offensive coordinator at Goodyear Millennium. His first game and the team's first game in D-I was a success with a 37-34 win over Phoenix North Canyon in triple overtime.
The Tigers are strong up front and with their running backs and have surprising speed, but will need to shore up the defense after several players graduated.
The team's top players are senior safety/wide receiver Aaron Diggs, senior wide receiver Joseph Pina, senior running back Adam Tomayo, senior linebacker Dillon Burch, senior outside linebacker/tight end Gauge Moody, and linemen C.J. Ruacho, Kahlil Beasley and Dyson Dandurand.
Some of the area's other top players according to azcentral.com are . . .
Phoenix North linebacker Alex Gutierrez, Surprise Valley Vista wide receiver Terry Juniel, Phoenix Maryvale linebacker Cesar Ledezma, Desert Mountain defensive back Gary McKay, Brophy defensive back Zach Kotoske, Phoenix Sandra Day O'Connor lineman Larry Alvarez, Phoenix Pinnacle running back Josh Hoekstra and offensive lineman Jake Grant, Glendale Mountain Ridge lineman Troy Kowalski, Phoenix Horizon wide receiver/punter Spencer Marciniak and North Canyon wide receiver Bryant O'Georgia.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's acknowledgment of having secret stomach surgery may reassure voters who've wondered whether he's fit to be president.
The governor, who has struggled with excess pounds for most of his adult life, told reporters in Newark Tuesday that he had the procedure Feb. 16 for the benefit of himself, his wife, Mary Pat, and their children. He denied it was a political move.
"Just because I have a public office and I have some measure of notoriety doesn't mean that my feelings about my family and my concerns about their future are any different than yours," Christie said. "I did it because I want to try to put myself, as I get older, in the best position I can be to spend as much great time with them as I possibly can."
The 50-year-old governor is running to win a second term in November. He turned down fundraisers' overtures to embark on a 2012 presidential campaign less than two years ago, saying, "Now is not my time." Christie hasn't ruled out a 2016 bid.
"He has to realize that it's a lot easier to run for president if you can actually run," said Matthew Hale, who teaches politics at Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.J. "It also has to be in the back of his mind that the physical requirements of walking through Iowa county fairs and things like that really are not easy."
Christie, who's about 6 feet tall, hasn't publicly disclosed his weight and didn't say how much he may have lost since February. He said he considered the matter personal, and his family "is not thrilled" that the surgery, first reported by the New York Post, became public.
The governor said he used a false name when he checked in for the 40-minute surgical procedure at New York University Langone Medical Center's Weight Management Program in Manhattan. The operation was covered by his state health insurance, he said. He wouldn't say what his out-of-pocket costs were.
He went into the hospital at 7:30 a.m. and was home in Mendham at 5 p.m., he said. He didn't transfer his state powers to Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno.
Christie said he spoke with coach Rex Ryan of the New York Jets before having the surgery. Ryan underwent the procedure in 2010, performed by surgeon George Fielding, and lost almost a third of his weight, according to the Post. Christie had Fielding do his operation.
A telephone call to the doctor's office was referred to Craig Andrews, a hospital spokesman, who declined to comment. Jets spokesman Bruce Speight didn't respond to a voice message and email seeking comment.
"It is a long-term health issue for me, and that is the basis on which I made the decision," Christie said Tuesday. "It's not a career issue."
Physical fitness for presidents and candidates for the office has been stressed by advisers since at least the administration of Gerald R. Ford, the Republican who replaced Richard M. Nixon in the White House in 1974. Ford, caught on camera as he stumbled on the Air Force One steps, was mocked for "being a klutz," said Peter Woolley, who teaches politics at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, N.J.
"The White House countered and said, 'What are you talking about?'" Woolley said by telephone. "This guy's an athlete. He was a Division I football player."
Al Gore, Democrat Bill Clinton's vice president, and Mike Huckabee, the Republican former Arkansas governor, both lost pounds before campaigning unsuccessfully for president. Sen. John McCain, a Republican from Arizona who survived torture in a Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp and three bouts with skin cancer, was dogged by health questions before Democrat Barack Obama beat him in the 2008 presidential race.
On Feb. 4, less than two weeks before Christie had his surgery, he appeared on CBS Corp.'s "Late Show with David Letterman," munching a doughnut as a gag. He told the comedian that he had normal cholesterol and sugar levels in his blood, calling himself "basically the healthiest fat guy you've ever seen in your life."
His comments led a former White House physician, Connie Mariano, to tell CNN that the governor's weight put him at risk of heart attack, stroke or death. Christie responded by calling the doctor a "hack" and telling her to "shut up" because she hadn't examined him.
For Christie, the prime political benefit now is that he "owns and controls" the story of his weight, said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, N.J.
"Why give voters fodder for questions of your ability to serve, whether that means your physical fitness or ability to keep yourself under control?" Murray said by telephone. "You can't get around the fact that being overweight raises questions in people's minds, whether that's right or wrong."
Christie's weight hasn't been an issue to most New Jersey voters recently. In a Quinnipiac University poll released March 26, 64 percent of 1,129 of those asked said they were comfortable with the governor's girth.
In July 2011, Christie went to a hospital for emergency treatment of his chronic asthma and told reporters when he was discharged that his weight "exacerbates everything."
More than 500 million people worldwide are obese, according to the World Health Organization. About 200,000 Americans undergo weight-loss surgery each year, and roughly a third choose gastric banding, involving small rubber devices that constrict part of the stomach.

Thermochromic table by Jay Watson
imagine banging someone on that table
imagine being home alone and seeing imprints on that table
noooooo stop
Imagine having a friend sit at that table for a long while, but when they get up there's no imprints at all.
What if you got up after trying to console a crying friend, and found that you had no imprints… and they were crying because they missed you?
aaaah it was a cool table now it's a horror/drama story

Jarret Stoll used the Stanley Cup as a ball marker
Jarret Stoll is enjoying his time with the Stanley Cup. The Los Angeles Kings center seems to be taking the massive piece of hardware with him wherever he goes, including the putting green.

Jarret Stoll Uses The Best Ball Marker In The History Of Golf
Los Angeles Kings forward Jarret Stoll spent his day with the Stanley Cup on Sunday and brought the hardware to Saskatoon for a charity golf tournament, where he used it as the best ball marker ever.

I am thinking of signing a lease in this building if anyone knows of a persisting problem with ANY sorts of pests can you please let us know!?
Anonymous on 01/12/2012
i have lived here for just over a year now, on floor 16, and also haven't seen much of any type of bug at all, maybe a spider and that's about it. it's still important to be aware and check, buildings with low tenant turn-over rates (like this one) have less of a chance of having a problem than ones with many tenants coming in and out, but bed bugs are hitchhikers and can be picked up even in the subway. so for ANY apartment / condo building... be aware, check and if it occurs report.
Anonymous on 01/09/2012
Not only are there bedbugs but there are cockroaches - the Propery Manager had been notified and they do not care- as long as there is rent collected they don't have much concern for their tenants
JJ on 11/01/2010
I live on the 10th, haven't seen any bed bugs. Lived here for 3ish years, haven't seen much of any type of bug at all. I am concerned though that management hasn't adressed the concerns of some tenants.
anonymous on 10/05/2010
this is freaking me out because I live here. I spoke to the super who diligently went through all maintenance requests with me and showed me the EMPTY pest control folder and she told me that no one has come to her about this. I hope she is not lying. If anyone has bed bugs in this building other tenants should have the right to know so we can get out. I lived thru this once 4 years ago, it was horrible, we threw out all of our stuff, moved and started over. I thought living in a building a litt
le bit more expensive then most would curb these problems but I've got to admit that if I ever have to live thru bed bugs again I will go crazy.

Can someone tell me if there is still a problem with bedbugs here? I just applied for an appt there and would like to know thanks!!
Anonymous on 09/01/2010
In early August my boyfriend was in the elevator with a man from the 9th floor who said he had bedbugs and had told the building's management about it. My boyfriend inquired about what was being done from the landlords of the building and she played dumb. No notices were published in the building and no inspections were provided to safeguard the tenants or their possessions. My boyfriend and I (having just moved here from Edmonton) have kept diligent watch over our apartment and our new bed and
futon. Despite our efforts we now have bites on our legs and the bedbugs are definitely somewhere in our house. We have not found any sheddings from the babies so are hoping that they have not hatched yet. We are on the 3rd floor and the original reports came from the 9th. I am absolutely devastated and SO disappointed in Avcan management for not doing anything. This is just terrible.
No nearby bug reports

A steam and a massage costs only $50 at Dave and Mary's Salon in Carmel. That's about half the normal price. And it's one of their many offerings, all for $50.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
The deal is part of National Spa Week, which starts Monday, October 15th.
Four local spas are taking part in this yearly national campaign, offering certain services for $50. Most services are normally $85 and up.
"Spas have gone crazy. People now want to be in it. Spas want to be in it, because they know it's a great form of marketing. And they know how it helps their community as well," said David Miller, co-owner of Dave & Mary's.
Dave and Mary's and Life Spa are two of the four Indy spas offering the deals. The others are Philipe's and Tranformations.
"Our spa week special includes a 50-minute facial, a 50-minute massage, or you can get the 50-minute mani-pedi package. All 3 of those things are $50 each. Or you can have all three in one day for $99," said Susanne Loehr, a skin care specialist at Life Spa.
Where do you find the deals? You can call and see what each spa offers for $50 or visit the Spa Week website and type in your city or zip code to see what spas in your area are offering.

the most beautiful hostel in America
a warm and welcoming hostel owner took us up to our room and we were delightfully surprised: it seems more like a bed and breakfast than a hostel! but a hostel it is, with a cozy room to curl up on, rest your feet on the bear footrests and read away at the New Yorker or other great literature. There are so many beautiful details with personal notes from the hostel owner... many are her family antiques and everywhere we turned there were fresh flowers and beautiful music.
Unique Quality: although the hostel is not on the shore, it is in Cambria and has so many niceties that I can't even begin to list them... highly recommended for anyone visiting California!

Combination of the Words: Snazzy and Nifty.
That new car is fricken snifty!
by Mike Porter September 06, 2006
Root word-Snift. A combination of "Snazzy" and "Nifty". Mostly used in lieu of "Fucking Awesome" (:
That's a pretty snifty sock you have there.
by Betzilla(: October 28, 2009
Similar in meaning to twos or bagsy but specifically coined for wanting to smell a sweaty/smelly item of female clothing.
After seeing a girl in hotpants at the gym arise from her exercise bike with a wet arse crack you would turn to your friend and say something along the lines of "Snifties on them". Delicious!
by Jordashton July 02, 2007
Used in leiu of "spiffy," lest you sound like a complete LOSER and everyone makes fun of you. Combination of spiffy, nifty, and YOUR A LOSER. Originally coined by Drew Hayes's comic book creation, Lusiphur Malaché, in the comic book Poison Elves.
That's the sniftiest thing I've ever heard.
You're snifty, go out with me.
Spiffy is a crutch for those unable to comprehend the complexity of snifty.

What's Going On
Things are heating up in squatland. This month a string of positive stories followed the news that the famous Friern Barnett Library (squatted by Occupy London) was saved from closure the story broke that Mike Weatherly (the Conservative MP crusading to ban squatting) has been receiving hundreds of thousands from property tycoons before and after his election. Then today (Monday 4th March) a shocking new report is got launched in Parliament by SQUAH (Squatters Campaign for Action on Housing). It present damning evidence on the effects of the recent law to criminalise squatting in residential buildings (more below). Minutes after the report was sent to the printers last week news came in that a homeless man - Daniel Gauntlett – had died in the doorway of an empty bungalow.
The following headings are based on the answers I prepared for the BBC Newsnight interview on squatting and the arts to be broadcast this Friday 8th March:
What Gives you the right to Live in Someone Else's Property?
I have lived in 4 different empty buildings. All of them have been owned by companies that own several properties and have kept the place empty for between 5 and 15 years. Two of them were registered in tax havens. The building where I currently live is due to be demolished. After we arrived we met with the owners inside the property. They saw we were not people who wanted to trash the place but instead wanted to put a roof over our head and they agreed to let us stay until it was time to go for demolition.
I think we need to stop talking about criminality and start talking about the shortage of affordable housing and growing inequality. People are being forced to work 40 – 50 hours a week and give 60% of their salary towards keeping a roof over their heads. Is it right to bypass civil law and throw people out of empty buildings and into jails? Should the Sate be used to enforce long term empties buildings?
What about the cases where people's homes get stolen while they go on holiday?
The Daily Mail (a gang of Romanian's moved in while I went to the shop) narrative is a scare story. Before the new law was passed, anti-trespass laws meant that police could already intervene to evict squatters who were desperate or stupid enough to move into someone's home, or intended home. I know of no one who has. This is why the Criminal Bar Association, the Law Society, the Magistrates Association, the Metropolitan Police, and numerous academics and charities came out to say the new law banning residential squatting was unnecessary. The Tories now want to do the same to squatting in empty non residential buildings.
Free workshops, open days, soup kitchens and public spaces provided by squats don't make it to the media, so we write blogs.
What about all the antisocial behaviour that happens in squats?
I know of no evidence that suggests that squatters are more antisocial than any other sector of the housing population. I have lived in private rented accommodation where people are violent, take drugs and are noisy. I have squatted with people who started squatting to get away from domestic violence or life on the streets. Is it acceptable for us that the Tories want to close squats at the same time as it is closing crisis centres for women and emergency housing for vulnerable families? Are we prepared to pay the cost of a boom in street homelessness and housing benefit claimants?
Is there a link between art squatting?
If you were to take all the squatters (and ex-squatters) out of your CD collection you would hardly have any CDs left. If you were to take all the squatters (and ex squatters) out of the festival circuit the stages would be half empty. Look at the massive cultural export of places like Camden, Hackney and Brixton. Would London be the cultural capital of the world without squatting in the 70s and 80s? Many, such as Director of Westminster's Cockpit Theatre, Dave Wybrow, say that it wouldn't:
"We need to recognise the role that squatting has had in the social and cultural health of our cities. For decades they have provided spaces where young people and creative practitioners can exist by recycling empty and abandoned buildings. Without this the creative industries die."
The people doing the lighting displays in the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics – ex squatters. The rock anthems that we grew up on, sung all over the world – many were written in squats.
"Far from criminalising squatting we should be legitimising squatting as something that provides flexibility and fluidity in the housing market. Social housing is getting passed to private hands which are failing to deliver. The guardianship schemes and private developments now being used to convert empty commercial buildings can't meet the deficit in short life housing for young people in cities in the way that squatting can."
Is there a link between the Occupy Movement and Squatting?
One of the reasons that Occupy Movement has been so explosive is because it because a wide spectrum of society has stuck its flag in the ground and said "this space is ours" in a world where our they are privatising everything with a heartbeat.
People squat as a reaction to the deficit in affordable housing but for many it is also a political act. Are we going to allow companies and individuals to keep buildings empty sometimes for decades at a time while they appreciate in value? while people are left on housing lists for 10 years? while police officers are being left in emergency accommodation, housed in BnBs at public expense because there is no housing for them? Why has all the public housing being sold off? I think it's time for us to decide as a society are we going to allow the Tories to run our housing stock for profit or are we going to demand they run it for people.
The new report by Squash can be found here www.squashcampaign.org. One of its arguments is that, in this new law, the private sector has is passed the cost of securing long-term empty building to the state. In short: we pay for prosecutions, prison sentences and housing benefit claims so that they get to rig the housing market for profit by leaving buildings empty. The report has already started to receive endorsements from prominent politicians and academics:
'This legislation was based upon prejudice and has only made matters worse. This new evidence demonstrates so clearly the need to repeal this misguided law.' John McDonnell MP
'A few months after the Government brought in the disgraceful law criminalising the homeless occupying an empty house we can see that some of the most needy are indeed suffering in the way that we feared.' Baroness Miller
'The conclusions suggest that many of the assumptions on which the recent law against squatting was based – for example that people squat as a lifestyle choice, and occupy other people's homes – were unfounded and that Section 144, as predicted by many, is having a detrimental impact on homeless and vulnerable people.' Dr Kesia Reeve
Take Action
The new laws on squatting are an assault on civil society and public space. Now is the time to act. Support your local squats by speaking out about the crisis of affordable homes and the new laws on squatting.
Write to your local MP asking them to support the repeal of Section 144, Criminal Justice Act and to oppose the proposed criminalisation of squatting in non residential buildings.

Meet "Spire", The Wearable Breath Tracker That Calms You Down
"You haven't taken a deep breath in 30 minutes". This is the smartest thing a wearable has ever told me. Most fitness trackers just pump out near-meaningless numbers. But Spire could actually make you healthier, happier, and more productive. Just clip the subtle little stone-looking device to your belt or bra, and it measures and visualizes your breathing in real-time on… Read More
Facebook Paper's New Trending Section Makes It A Better Softcore News Reader

Amazon Prime Music Is Actually About Selling More Physical Goods
We are entering the age of the omnibundle, where what you see isn't what you're paying for. Take Amazon adding a "free" music-streaming service to its $99 a year Prime club.

Facebook Poaches PayPal President David Marcus To Run Messenger, Maybe Monetize It With Payments

Google Music Could Get Touchy-Feely If It Does Acquire Moody Playlist App Songza
"Google Play Music All-Access". That tongue-twisting name says a lot about how well Google understands humans. It's also why the New York Post's report that Google is in talks to buy contextual playlist service Songza for $15 million seems like a smart move. While Google Music has playlists, they're generic, static, and totally unorganized. Songza lets you say… Read More
Tinder Just Replaced The Pick-Up Line With Selfies
"So hey, do you live around here?" could be replaced by silly selfies if Tinder's new Moments feature takes off.

Lyft Nabs Exclusive AnyPerk Deal To Give Drivers Tons Of Discounts, Locks Out Uber
As the battle to recruit rideshare drivers rages on, Lyft and Uber were both vying for a partnership with AnyPerk to provide their drivers with discounts at hundreds of places, but Lyft has won the deal.

Apple Will Use Curation To Beat A Path To Mainstreaming Music
Ask the average person who their favorite musicians are and they'll struggle to name more than a few. That's one reason search-based streaming services haven't hit critical mass.

Costolo also discussed trying to figure out how to get Twitter into China. But while reach is nice, the problem is that Twitter can only show ads to logged in users. Read More

you are just projecting your own bias on the attendees. Numerous reports indicate the majority was in favor of another chair and another set of rules, and that the temporary chair was violating procedures and making a mockery of the caucus. Had he not had the police behind him the convention would likely have ignored him and conducted their business properly. It was the decisions of 2 people determined to railroad through their plan that turned the convention into chaos and disenfranchised thousands of fellow Republicans.
So, St. Charles county chairman, please come up with a strategy that is better than acting like a gang of arrogant power-hungry thugs to steal the nomination!

Carpet Installation reviews in Old Hickory
After paying $35 for exact measurements, an estimate was prepared from a well known big box home improvement store. The estimate included removal and disposal of the carpet and vinyl, prep of the floor, installation, and of course the hardwood. We suffered sticker shock when the final price was $6200 for 800 sq feet of work. We both felt the price was inflated and decided to check around. A friend recommended

The next wave of the digital revolution is transforming the enterprise, enabling sophisticated digital services such as eHealth and Smart City, and significantly changing the IT landscape. However, delivering these services at the enterprise-grade level is a serious challenge for providers due to the lack of end-to-end visibility and accountability in multi-cloud, multi-partner environments. To help providers meet these challenges, today TM Forum unveiled the first two in a series of Multi-Cloud Service Management Packs that focus on the key challenge of managing multi-cloud services by providing blueprints and step-by-step guides based on TM Forum's best practices and standards.
TM Forum's new Multi-Cloud Service Management Packs address business and software development challenges. They tackle the comprehensive creation, implementation and monetization of service level agreements (SLAs), as well as provide a guide to managing partnerships through the lifecycle. They also solve a number of challenges for providers, including: how to select, structure and measure effective partnerships for digital services; how to design and structure effective SLAs for cloud-based, enterprise-grade, complex digital services; and how to gain clear visibility of management information in a multi-cloud environment to ensure SLA monitoring and adherence in a variety of contexts.
"Multi-cloud service management is a key challenge for any provider seeking to deliver enterprise-grade digital services," said Pascal Viginier, Group Chief Information Officer, France Telecom-Orange which contributed to the development of the packs. "These packs build on TM Forum's proven expertise in this area, providing a solid foundation for best practices in both the business and technical aspects of this challenge."
In addition, the Multi-Cloud Service Management Packs focus on how digital service providers and enterprise customers can both gain visibility into and automatically manage SLA adherence when the service is delivered by a number of software as a service (SaaS) products, cloud platforms and/or machine-to-machine (M2M) services.
"Delivering great enterprise-class digital user experiences given multiple services, clouds, networks and devices is a real challenge," said Eric Troup, World Wide Communications and Media Industries Chief Technology Officer, Microsoft. "With the release of these Multi-Cloud Service Management Packs the TM Forum begins to address some of these challenges, including how to achieve great operations experiences, as well as associated guidance and best practices for service developers."
"Today's digital services providers must truly understand and address the concerns of their enterprise customers in order to capture market share. To do so, they require partners to deliver enterprise-grade services and effectively manage those services end-to-end across a multi-cloud environment," said Nik Willetts, Chief Strategy Officer, TM Forum. "Our Multi-Cloud Service Management Packs are the direct result of extensive member collaboration, and an essential step forward for TM Forum's mission to enable an open, vibrant digital economy."
The contents of the Multi-Cloud Service Management Packs are based on collaborative work by TM Forum members, including: Alcatel-Lucent, AT&T, CA Technologies, France Telecom-Orange, Huawei, Microsoft Corp., NetCracker Technology, Oracle, Progress, PT SAPO, Syntologica and Tech Mahindra. In addition, AT&T, BaseN, Ericsson, IBM, Microsoft and PT SAPO developed some of the packs' components as part of TM Forum's Catalyst program.
The new packs feature a set of overview documents plus a business pack and developer pack. The contents can be used standalone or in combination with each other. In addition, the developer pack includes a groundbreaking Simple Management API which introduces a common set of interface patterns for exchanging management information across multiple partners as well as providing a developer environment that can be used to add the Simple Management API to any service. Specifically, the packs include:
Multi-Cloud Service Management Pack Overview Documents
- Introduction – an overview of the challenges of managing services in a multi-cloud environment and TM Forum's approach to meet these challenges
- Business Guide – a business-oriented guide to the end-to-end management of multi-cloud and M2M environments
- Technical Guide – an introductory guide to TM Forum's Simple Management API and how it can be used to create end-to-end management visibility in a multi-cloud environment
Business Pack
- SLA Business Blueprint – a step-by-step guide to creating effective, measurable, end-to-end SLAs for enterprise-grade digital services
- Partnership Management Guide – a practical guide to developing and sustaining successful managed service partnerships in the digital economy
Developer Pack
- Simple Management API Developer Primer – a developer-focused guide for easy, fast implementation of the Simple Management API with any service
- Simple Management API Developer Ecosystem – a developer ecosystem including a sandbox environment for implementing the Simple Management API
Part of TM Forum's new Digital Services Initiative which focuses on overcoming the challenges of managing complex digital services, these packs will be fully available to all TM Forum members as part of Frameworx 12.5 on Dec. 4 at Management World Americas, held Dec. 3-6, 2012, at the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Fla. As part of Management World Americas, TM Forum is featuring the following three demonstrations on its Multi-Cloud Management Program in the Forumville area of the expo:
- Microsoft, in partnership with Deltatre and iLink Systems, is demonstrating how the Simple Management API can be used to manage a complex, multi-partner content delivery environment.
- PT SAPO is showcasing how the Simple Management API can enable monitoring and reporting for Portugal Telecom's MEO IPTV services.
- Syntologica and Concordus are demonstrating a commercially available implementation of the Simple Management API used by agent Datatel to manage business services when aggregating communications and cloud services from multiple partners.

need advise i have Sony Vaio Z gen 3. switch to X1 Carbon ?
Hi Guys,
my first post on here. something ive been thinking about for a while, ive had a Sony Vaio Z 2012 since the summer. its clearly a powerful laptop, super light and amazing screen
But down side im finding is the keyboard and track pad. battery life not ideal on highest screen resolution. im not too bother about sound but read its not great either. slightly larger screen might be nice.
ive come from a mac book air. which had great keyboard and pad but prefer a window machine for windows software as use the laptop for mapping cars
should i stick with the Vaio Z or try something else maybe the Len X1 carbon ? or would this be a step backwards ?
i see on verge review it only got a 7.5 rating tho and the vaio 2011 model rated 8
has anyone would both who can give me some feedback please ? ideally i need to find somewhere which has one in stock i can have a quick play with
