NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- MyRedToy (https://myredtoy.com) is a reverse auction service that sets car dealerships on a bidding competition against one another to reveal the lowest possible prices, without the need for painful and time-consuming episodes at the showroom. With over 16,000 registered dealerships across the country, MyRedToy is among the largest car dealership networks in the United States.

MyRedToy works by inviting potential new car owners to notify dealerships (within 100 miles) of their intention to purchase a new vehicle. These dealers will be able to transparently study the offers that have already been made by their competitors, and table an attractive offer. Potential new car owners are provided with a complete report and price certificate when the auction ends. They are free to walk away with zero obligations, and at no cost, if no acceptable deal is found.
"The concept for MyRedToy was created because I was tired of the stressful and needlessly expensive visits to car dealerships when purchasing my last few cars," said Wonsang Cho, Founder and CEO of MyRedToy. "The tactics are always the same – they present you with a grand speech, sit you down for 3 hours, while pretending to get permission from the General Manager to give you the best ever deal that has never been offered before. MyRedToy puts the pressure back to the dealerships, and lets the consumer sit back and relax, while getting their new car at a great price."
Proprietary market research by MyRedToy found that new car buyers visited an average of 2.3 dealerships before making their final purchases. These add up to an estimated 6 hours of invested time commuting and listening to sales pitches. Together the growing trend of new car buyers using the Internet as a research resource, MyRedToy brings it one level higher by delivering accurate, transparent and binding best prices through the Internet, right into the living room.
MyRedToy is remarkably simple to use:
- Select from a comprehensive list of car manufacturers and the options & packages on offer.
- Dealers within 100 miles will be notified and requested for their best, out-of-door price.
- Monitor the 72 hour auction on the website, and receive a report when the auction closes.
- Print a MyRedToy price certificate and head down to the dealer to complete the purchase, OR walk away with zero obligations and at no cost.
MyRedToy goes live today. The latest developments and events will be announced on the website, as well as the MyRedToy Facebook page.

Leaders From UP, MP, Gujarat Join AIADMK
By PTI - CHENNAI
Published: 27th February 2014 08:19 PM
Last Updated: 27th February 2014 08:27 PM
Signalling its pan-India expansion,members of various parties from Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat today joined ruling AIADMK in the presence of party supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
A total of 201 leaders and members of parties such as Congress, Samajwadi Party and Janata Dal (U) from Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh received AIADMK membership cards from Jayalalithaa at the party headquarters here, an AIADMK release said.
Uttar Pradesh JD(U) unit General Secretary Rakesh Kumar,NCP leader Yogendra Kumar Pandey, Samajwadi Party Muzaffarnagar District Secretary Bhopal Shaini and UPCC member Sanjay Shaini were among those who joined the AIADMK and the initiative for this was taken by party Rajya Sabha MP V Maithreyan, it said.
The development comes amid calls for a larger national role for Jayalalithaa after the Lok Sabha elections and days after she unveiled her party's manifesto assuring to increase IT exemption limit to Rs Five lakh and implement various freebies being extended in Tamil Nadu to the entire country if it is elected to be part of the next government.
Besides its base of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, AIADMK has state units in Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Further, as many as 300 members of DMDK, PMK and Congressin the state also joined the AIADMK, the release said.
Jayalalithaa asked the new comers to cooperate and work with her in ensuring 'peace, prosperity and progress for theentire nation', which is AIADMK's poll plank for the coming Lok Sabha polls.
Meanwhile, actor-politician Vijayakant's DMDK continued to be rocked by defections with yet another MLA calling on Jayalalithaa today.
M Arun Subramanian, arrested in 2012 on land grab charges and out on bail, met the Chief Minister at the Secretariat here and submitted a memorandum for constituency related demands, an official release said.
In Tamil Nadu politics, the member of a party calling on the head of a rival political party is not a common practice and viewed as defection.
Subramanian's meeting with Jayalalithaa makes him the eighth DMDK legislator to follow a similar strategy. Seven other colleagues --R Sundarrajan, C Arun Pandian, C Michael Rayappan, K Tamizh Azhagan, Suresh Kumar, R Santhi and M Pandiarajan, had met Jayalalithaa last year.
The seven have been allotted separate seating arrangements in the state Assembly and been seen attending government functions presided over by AIADMK Ministers.
DMDK, the main opposition in the state Assembly, has 29 MLAs including its founder Vijayakant.
PMK MLA M Kalaiarasan also called on Jayalalithaa with similar demands.

From the Ground Up: Environmental Racism and the Rise of the Environmental Justice Movement (Critical America)by Luke Cole
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Lucid and convincing...Makes clear that [Freud's] vision was limited both by the social climate in which he worked and the personal experiences he preferred, subconsciously, not to deal with."
—Los Angeles Times
Sigmund Freud was quite arguably one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century. Yet, over the last decade, portions of his theories of the mind have suffered remarkably accurate attacks by feminists and even some conservative Freudians. How could this great mind have been so wrong about women?
In The Freudian Mystique, analyst Samuel Slipp offers an explanation of how such a remarkable and revolutionary thinker could achieve only inadequate theories of female development. Tracing the gradual evolution of patriarchy and phallocentrism in Western society, Slipp examines the stereotyped attitudes toward women that were taken for granted in Freud's culture and strongly influenced his thinking on feminine psychology. Of even greater importance was Freud's relationship with his mother, who emotionally abandoned him when he was two years old. Slipp brings the tools of a trained clinician into play as he examines, from an object relations perspective, Freud's own pre-oedipal conflicts, and shows how they influenced Freud's personality as well as the male-centric shape of his theory.
Not limited to only one perspective, The Freudian Mystique analyzes how the entire contextual framework of individual development, history, and culture affected Freud's work in feminine psychology. The book then looks forward, to formulating a modern biopsychosocial framework for female gender development.
Book News Annotation:
Cole (director, California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation's Center on Race, Poverty, and the Environment) and Foster (law, Rutgers University) examine the movement for environmental justice in the United States. Tracing the movement's roots and illustrating the historical and contemporary causes of environmental racism, they combine their analysis with a narrative account of struggles from around the country—including those in Kettleman City, California, Chester, Pennsylvania, and Dilkon, Arizona. In so doing, they consider the transformative effects this movement has had on individuals, communities, and environmental policy.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Critically examines the eruption of the environmental justice movement by combining storytelling and case studies from communities around the U.S. that have chosen to stand up against corporate polluters.
When Bill Clinton signed an Executive Order on Environmental Justice in 1994, the phenomenon of environmental racism--the disproportionate impact of environmental hazards, particularly toxic waste dumps and polluting factories, on people of color and low-income communities--gained unprecedented recognition. Behind the President's signature, however, lies a remarkable tale of grassroots activism and political mobilization. Today, thousands of activists in hundreds of locales are fighting for their children, their communities, their quality of life, and their health.
From the Ground Up critically examines one of the fastest growing social movements in the United States, the movement for environmental justice. Tracing the movement's roots, Luke Cole and Sheila Foster combine long-time activism with powerful storytelling to provide gripping case studies of communities across the U.S--towns like Kettleman City, California; Chester, Pennsylvania; and Dilkon, Arizona--and their struggles against corporate polluters. The authors effectively use social, economic and legal analysis to illustrate the historical and contemporary causes for environmental racism. Environmental justice struggles, they demonstrate, transform individuals, communities, institutions and even the nation as a whole.

Chopra: I'm Getting Back to My Best
Friday, 17th Feb 2012 07:00
Michael Chopra believes his recent scoring burst is a sure sign that he is beginning to show the form that persuaded Ipswich boss Paul Jewell to sign him from Cardiff in a £1 million deal last summer.
Chopra, who has netted four times in his last three outings, will line up against his former team-mates at Portman Road on Saturday as Town aim to make it four league wins in a row and continue their climb up the Championship table.
The 28-year-old striker's well documented gambling addiction is not yet a thing of the past but he believes he has benefited from his decision to go public and confront the problem head-on.
Chopra admitted: "With what's been going on in my life in the last year or so it's been hard at times. I've made sacrifices but now what's happening is that everything is going well.
"I believe I'm getting back to my best the way I'm playing and helping the team. I am getting a lot of chances to score goals. When we played Brighton at home I was getting close to my best but then I had to go into the Sporting Chance Clinic for a period of three weeks.
"It was hard because I wasn't really training. The gaffer left me out of the team to enable me to get my confidence back. I know my problems won't disappear in days or even months. It's going to take years and I just have to take each day as it comes.
"At the start of the year it was disappointing to be left out of the side, but I wasn't playing well and my confidence was low. It was the right decision by the gaffer and I think you can see from my recent displays that I am starting to be the player that he thought he was bringing to the club last summer."
Chopra's recent run has seen him score in the 5-1 home thrashing of Championship leaders West Ham, bag a brace in the 3-2 win at Coventry and then net the only goal in Tuesday's 1-0 victory at Portsmouth.
But he added: "I've been getting a lot of help from everybody at the club. I'm the one getting the plaudits for scoring but it's not just down to me. All the lads are playing their part.
"If they didn't create chances for me I couldn't score, but I have always had a lot of belief in myself and my ability. I still believe I will get 20 goals this season.
"We could have been three of four goals up at Portsmouth the other night. When I first came to Ipswich it was the usual story of a new club and pressure to score goals. Because of what I had going on in my life people probably doubted me. That's why I want to repay the club by scoring goals and it is great to be enjoying my football again."

Would the Grass Be Greener Without Mick McCarthy? by Nuggets

DOE hosts packed forum on hotly debated Northern Pass project
Hosmer said he was speaking on behalf of the city of Franklin, which is part of his district and the proposed location for Northeast Utilities to build a new converter station if the project gains approval.
"We must keep in mind, first and foremost, this project is not necessary to keep the lights on," Baker said. "It's a nice-to-have project at-best — if you ignore all the environmental impacts that it would have on this state and this region."
Vaughn wasn't entirely opposed to the project, but said he wants it to have more buried power lines.
This round is necessary to discuss the revisions made to the plan.

SVG / CSS3 / IE conundrum
Hey all.
Making a new website for myself at the moment.
I'm using SVG's and CSS3 animations.
This is all well and good for the latest browsers, webkit especially, but obviously not so smart for those that went before.
I'm not the greatest when it comes to usability / coding standards & what not, so thought I'd see if the Sitepoint crowd could help!
It's not a commercial website, so it's not the end of the world for me if the IE6 crew can't use it, but what I'd like to do is substitute out the SVG's for PNG's where the browsers can't support them.
I have looked at the SVGWeb plugin, but that requires the SVG's to be used as <objects> or directly embedded into the page, which is not preferable, since I'm not sure i could then apply the CSS3 animations to them.
I was thinking of using something like: <!--[if IE]> and creating conditional code, but again, unsure of the best course of action here. On a Mac so no IE6 here to test. Running it through browsershots.org at the moment.
Here's the URL:
Alexander James
What would you do in this situation? How can I best reach a compromise?
Much obliged.

- Great cold weather jacket Review by Brownieguy
OverallPicked up the Exstream for coldweather trouting and steelheading and spent a great 4 weekend chasing bows and browns in COLD weather on the Madison. Once I got my wader boots thawed out it was off to the river at first light and out until after dark for a little night fishing in temps from 19 to around 40 degrees. The Jacket performed as advertised and that was just what I wanted, another great product from Simms!

Samsung's OLED-free TV lineupPUBLISHED: 30 Apr 2014 10:12:43 | UPDATED: 30 Apr 2014 21:07:34PRINT EDITION: 30 Apr 2014
That's a Samsung Series 8 curved HD TV on the left, and a series 9 curved UHD TV on the right
John Davidson
Samsung announced its 2014 TV line up last night, featuring regular flat Ultra High Definition TVs for less than $3000, and curved UHD TVs for less than $5000. Incredible!
But just as incredibly, there's no mention of OLED TV in this year's lineup. I had to do a word search on the press release to confirm it. Zero results for OLED. Wasn't this meant to be the year that OLED went mainstream and semi-affordable?
If Samsung, the undisputed heavy weight champion of OLED technology can't do it, what hope do we have?
Though, given the choice between UHD and OLED, I'd do exactly what Samsung has done, exactly what Sony always said the market would do: go for UHD, even though there may be precious little UHD content available at the moment. UHD is awesome.
If all of this is gibberish to you, I should explain that UHD (also known as 4K) is TV with four times the resolution of normal High Definition TV, and OLED is a technology that's a little like plasma, with incredibly black blacks and gloriously rich colours. They're not mutually exclusive technologies, and eventually all TVs may well be UHD OLEDs, but at the moment that combination is prohibitively expensive.
So for now Samsung seems to have settled on UHD. The cheapest UHD in the new Samsung lineup is a flat 48-inch Series 8 model for $2999. The cheapest curved UHD model is a 55-inch Series 9, for $4999. All the prices are below.
It's worth noting that a 48-inch UHD TV is significantly smaller than the minimum size TV manufacturers were talking about a couple of years ago when UHD was first introduced. Back then, the thinking was that UHD technology would be wasted on anything less than, say, a 55-inch or 60-inch TV, because the pixels on a regular HD TV were already small enough on screen sizes smaller than that.
So it will be interesting to see whether you can see the difference between a 48-inch UHD Samsung TV, and a 48-inch HD Samsung TV if you had them side-by-side. I suspect you may be able to perceive the difference in terms of colour saturation and accuracy from a regular viewing distance (technically, UHD has a broader, deeper colour palette than HD, and colours do look richer in my experience), without being able to point out the smaller pixels per se.
As for the curved TVs, well Samsung has introduced a new "depth enhancement" algorithm, to further increase the cinematic experience you get from having a TV that curves like a movie screen. The algorithm detects which areas of the image are meant to be the foreground, and which are meant to be the background, and tweaks the brightness and other settings to enhance the depth separation. It sounds a little similar to what Samsung did with the camera in its Galaxy S5 phone. As with many of Samsung's cutting-edge features, you should be able to turn it off.
Series 9 Curved UHD LED TV 78"+ (HU9000) – RRP $16,999, available in June 2014
Series 9 Curved UHD LED TV 65"+ (HU9000) – RRP $6,999, available in April 2014

noob trying to rank?
lol, i'm stuck at rank zero; 3 tries/days failed...any advice PLEASE?
im using the Excalibur warframe and I do pretty good playing the game except for this test and not being able to retry until after 24 hrs. is just brutal...anyways, where im losing most health is from those darn robot legs!
I like the game but not being able to progress and upgrade is killing the fun factor!
any help is appreciated and thanks.
Do some of the Mercury survival or Venus survival. Work on getting your vitality and shield mods up and that'll keep you alive. You'll beat it easy after that. Well you also should at least get a braton to take them out.
This is my world, a world filled with monsters. I wished for it.
sounds like good advice and thank you, i'll give it a try (I hope)...pretty sure I've seen or been picking up vitality and shield mods, I'm just not sure how to check or what to do with em?
big time learning curve to this game: mods, transmute, fuse, codex, foundry, blueprints, braton etc...i'll see what I can find on youtube?

I suggest reading warframe 's wiki. I learned just about everything that I know about the game from there. I reference it all of the time (Google on my phone automatically brings it up now). Sad how the game does a poor job of explaining how to play it, though.
And here's a tip; move around. Your probably thinking you have to stay in the circle...? Most newbies do, anyway. Take cover behind pillars when they're draining your Health. Also, increase mod strength by fusing. If you increase the redirection mod, your shield will benefit. Vitality mod for health. Fuse them with the fusion cores.
Just get the braton. The Mk-1 Braton is atrocious.

This is the best advice. This was suggested to me and it made the test a cake walk.
...and I heard as it were, the noise of thunder. And I looked and behold was Death saying, "Come and see." And I saw. And Hell followed me.
Yep, I failed the first rank about 4 times lol. Soon as I upgraded my gun I walked it. Equipment is all important in this game, especially the early rank tests. Doesn't matter how skilful you are if your weapons just can't produce the required damage per second.

Check out how to install and boost mods, that's first.
A new weapon won't do him too much good if everything is unmodded guys
Psn- XBurningAngelX 360- XIAce0fSpadesIX
wow, it's a new game...thanks for the advice!
I still got about 4hrs. before I can retry ranking up, but I'm confident to succeed this time as I was able to add essential mods and upgrades for my warframe & weapons...still a lot to learn but i'll get there ;)

An unmodded Boltor did more damage for me than my level 30 Bratton. Lol.

- HorribleOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/31/2014Upon arrival at the reserved time of 6:15pm, I was told that the restaurant would need to have the table back by 8:15pm. I'm a part-time resident of Montauk and I've probably been to almost every sit-down restaurant in the hamlet. I've also traveled extensively over the past 35 years, and I've dined at a multitude of sit-down restaurants in more than 35 states and 30 foreign countries. These have included urban restaurants, rural restaurants, Michelin 3-star restaurants and casual restaurants. Until the visit to Ruschmeyer's, I'd NEVER been given a dining deadline. The demand was an outrageous abdication of the restaurant's responsibility for structuring its reservations, and it cast a pall over the entire dining experience.
- Kids early party lateOpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 8/29/2014I came here a fee times with my kids for an early dinner. Great outdoor dining and ping pong tables and hammocks outside. After 8 the place fills up with 20s and 30s and it is a good scene on Friday and Saturday?, including a DJ at the inside bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The decor was farmhouse country, making the atmosphere friendly and informal. Our servers were friendly, too, but the food and drink was slow in coming. We were there without our kids, but a number of other families were there with kids of all ages.Special Features:

- Two different placesMartylDined on 7/28/2014This is a Montauk "hot spot" on weekends, a club scene, active bar(s), crowds, very hip--so I am told. But my wife and I went there for dinner on a Monday night, no hippies, no bar scene, just a half empty reasonably quiet dining room, pleasant service, excellent food and we can't wait to go back--on a Monday night!Special Features:

- Frustrating BookingOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/18/2014We were meeting a bunch of different friends in the Hampton's Friday night, and had made a reservation for Resuchmeyers Friday eve. We tried to expand it for a large group but it was impossible. When we arrived there were huge empty tables!!! This was incredibly frustrating. The food was great, but that was not a good experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not our nightGolem212VIPDined on 7/15/2014We went to Ruschmeyer's on a Tuesday night. Imagine our disappointment when we learned we had 2 choices, burgers or pizza. End of story. It was there unadvertised burger night. Nevertheless, We decided to have a nice glass of wine before moving on to another Montauk restaurant. Imagine our ensuing disappointment when the wine, a local Cab Franc, overpriced at $18 for a short glass, had that "been in the bottle too long" taste. End of story. The service was friendly and professional. The offerings, not so much.Special Features:
- Great brunch spotfoodie8888Dined on 7/6/2014Had brunch here over 4th of July weekend - arrived early so it wasn't too busy, we were able to have our choice of outdoor picnic tables. Bloody Mary, cappuccino, and Eggs Benedict with crab were all awesome.Special Features:
- Prix Fixe Tasting MenuJBDiningDined on 6/28/2014We were a little disappointed when we found out that a party of our size required the prixe fixe tasting menu-- but the food was really good, so we got over it. Overall a great outdoor dining experience.Special Features:
- Impressive Opening WeekendCMRNYCDined on 5/25/2014Generally seasonal restaurants have struggling opening weekends, however at Ruschmeyers this was not the case (nor was it the case last year either!). We arrived an hour early for our reservation and were seated immediately by the wonderful hostess Kristin. Our server was attentive and sweet, and even brought me over a birthday glass of prosecco! While there aren't a huge amount of choices in Montauk, this has always been my #1!Special Features:

- very overpriced food for the3dinersDined on 8/25/2013very overpriced food for the quality and portions which are small. limited and overpriced wine list. great atmosphere but dining a "c" at best.Special Features:
- Fun scene for going out. NotariannaVIPDined on 8/24/2013Fun scene for going out. Not great for a restaurant. Very small portions, overpriced, and very saltyI would recommend this to a friend.
- IIt once was good.EastEndFamilyDined on 8/24/2013We have gone to this resturant years ago and were very pleased. The food was average the wait staff was a bit less than average; seemed as tho they just didn't want to be there. Overall I would not recomend this resturant.Special Features:

- made me smileCbellaVIPDined on 8/22/2013yes, the clam pizza is quite delicious and one of the best versions I've had. All around good dining experience, very cool place. Servers, including bar tender at times act sort of indifferent. Couldn't tell if that is supposed to be what they are aiming for?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ok but nothing specialPFA3Dined on 8/12/2013I do not think they cook to order? My fish may have been poached and reheated? But the Fish was fresh!I would recommend this to a friend.
- When we arrived the hostessOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/11/2013When we arrived the hostess asked us if we wanted to sit outside or inside. We said we were never there before and we wanted to sit where it was more fun. She sat us outside in a less than vibrant environment and immediately we asked to be moved inside. She told us that the table she had open for us was no longer available. We stayed outside in a less than enjoyable environment with poor service and bugs which were horribley biting us once the sun set. We could barely finish our meal. The lack of customer service was really surprising and with all the great restaurants in the Hamptons we will not be returning to this restaurant.
- Disappointing!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/11/2013Ruschmeyers was truly a disappointment. For all the trouble it was getting a reservation and the back and forth with confirming it was not worth it at all. The service was awful and the food was just ok. They were very snooty and I would not go out of my way to ever go there again!
- Rushmeyer'sjmb458Dined on 8/7/2013After having a good dinner there a few weeks ago, however, the service was awful, we went back for a second time. Again, the service was awful but, unfortunately, this time around so was the food. Awful wine list. Great hangout spot in Montauk, pretty people, outdoor seating. Go there for cocktails and to meet and greet but be prepared for long lines and rudeness.Special Features:
- Drosselmeyer'sOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/5/2013This place was recommended, loosely, by my daughter. The dining area is lovely although, I found the large Japanese hanging lanterns to be incongruous with the beautiful wood structure. I sat on a very thin pad that was not very comfortable. The wine list left a lot to be desiredI ordered a beet/grapefruit salad that was not extraordinary, and roasted veggies were soggy, and roasted potatoes. The potatoes were hard on the outside and dry on the inside so, I sent them back. The waiter brought me asparagus and said he had tasted the potatoes and they were pretty bad. My boyfriend ordered swordfish that arrived decidedly overcooked. Desert was blueberry panacotta served in a small bell jar and was good but not enough to erase the dinner.
- top ten dessertOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/4/2013you may feel like you're at summer camp when you step foot onto ruschmeyer's, but be assured, you will not be eating camp food! i had one of the best lobster rolls ever at ruschmeyers. But even better...their de-constructed s'more dessert--perhaps one of my top ten favorite desserts ever! great cocktails too!Special Features:
- Best dinner in montaukGigiDined on 8/4/2013The food was great!! Best mac & cheese!! Our waiter was very attentive & knowledgeable. Would definitely go back next time we are in montaukSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent find in MontaukDaniBDined on 8/3/2013I've heard rumblings about this place via Unique Eats and Goop and I'm so glad I reserved a dinner date at this restaurant. My boyfriend and I loved everything about it. The ambiance, the layout, the view, the service, the food - it was all fantastic. I absolutely devoured my swordfish and my boyfriend loved his sea bass. We also loved the banana bread dessert. We will definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great place to eat in Montauk and we can't wait come back and try other food on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

When we asked about the local bass listed the waiter told us that the board was never changed...How lazy can you be!!! The atmosphere is great ... the waiter very casual and friendly!Special Features:
- CrowdedlkinelskiVIPDined on 7/27/2013I really like the food at Ruschmeyer's and the overall ambience. The bar on Thursday nights (bingo!) is fabulous, and also pretty good if you go early on a Friday or Saturday. After 9pm on Saturday it is so crowded you cannot move, let alone order a drink. Ruschmeyer's shouldn't let in as many guests in order to preserve the experience of guests in the venue. What a shame!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good option among limited optionsCairotodublinDined on 7/25/2013Great ambiance, and the menu is pretty good compared to what else is available in MTK. The wait staff is your typical beach town lackadaisical quality, so be prepared, but that's part of game here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A poor dining value.JakeDined on 7/24/2013The menu at Ruschmeyers was limited and expensive. The charge for the Swordfish was $29 which was way out of line considering the tiny portion served. The children's menu was also expensive for what was offered. In general the food was mediocre. It's a fun place for the kids to run around, but they can do that just about anywhere.Special Features:

Republican River Basin focus of new web portal
A new website focused on the Republican River Basin offers education and information about the contested river.
Development of the Republican River Basin Water and Drought Portal was led by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln-based National Drought Mitigation Center, in collaboration with Nebraska's Lower, Middle, and Upper natural resources districts.
"I personally find it an extraordinary source of current and relevant information at my fingertips," said Roger Lawson, information and education coordinator for the Middle Republican Natural Resources District. "The websites it takes me to are top-notch and current."
The portal includes current news, a history of the basin, legal information, links to current water and drought monitoring, forecasting and impacts, and sections on management, planning, education and research. The Republican River flows through Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas and is the subject of both negotiated agreements and current litigation.
Cody Knutson, a water resources scientist at the drought mitigation center who led the effort, said the portal was developed in cooperation with other related efforts in the basin, such as the work of the Republican River Restoration Partners, chaired by Ted Tietjen.
"Our objective is to get the three states to work together in resolving issues along the Republican River Basin," Tietjen said. "It's been kind of a challenge."
Tietjen's organization helped co-host a meeting in Kansas to get input on the portal and to help make it clear that the portal isn't just for Nebraskans. The team that developed the portal held listening sessions and made presentations at various locations in all three states in the basin beginning in March 2008, to learn what information stakeholders need.
Tonya Bernadt, NDMC research and outreach specialist who helped develop the site, said, "It's really a one-stop shop for stakeholders to utilize, whether they are farmers, water managers or the general public.
"We hope we've created a site that will be beneficial to all three states."
The portal's development was sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Sectoral Applications Research Program, and is likely to become a prototype for other river-basin websites on the website of the National Integrated Drought Information System.
The Upper Republican Natural Resources District is hosting the portal.
The National Drought Mitigation Center is based in UNL's School of Natural Resources.

The Coalition has promised a judicial inquiry would shine a spotlight on what Labor ministers knew about warnings and dangers of the scheme.
Sunday papers published by News Corp Australia have detailed what they say are draft terms of reference for the proposed inquiry.
The office of Environment Minister Greg Hunt would not confirm details this morning, but said it was working with families of the victims to finalise terms of reference.

Top 5 commit performances
- Oldest first

- Most recommended
The only way I commit to play for the Y is if football is NOT my most important concern. If I want to play college football on the big stage of the Pac 12 plus have a shot at playing the NFL then the U is the obvious choice. BYU is an independent and after the dust settles it may be just BYU alone since Army and Navy are leaving for the Big East and ND may be moving to the Big 10. Trying to survive as an independent in the new world of super conferences is going to be impossible money wise and money makes or breaks a program. BYU is playing a game of musical chairs and they had better find somewhere to sit before the music stops!!

Yes, because the NFL only drafts players from the Pac 12. Anybody playing
anywhere else doesn't have a shot. And don't forget every player that plays at
the U gets a free ticket to the NFL. There are some good players at every school
and they will get looks just like anyone else.
What is the real percentage of college players that actually make it to the NFL? That the better question is. Who got a paid education for doing what they love???

Do a Google Search for Big East expansion and you will find that The Big East are interested in inviting Navy, Air Force, Boise State and UCF. Not Army. It hardly matters though. If Notre Dame is forced to go to the Big 10 being and independent will become awfully lonely.

I think BYU wants players who don't have football as their most important concern. So I guess it works out for everybody. Three of the five top performances listed here were by kids committed to BYU. It looks like BYU is doing just fine on the recruiting front compared to other Utah schools.

It's nice to see Chase Hansen doing so well. Looking forward to seeing him wear
crimson and white.
A friend of mine with some connections to a big time Notre Dame booster told me ND has no interest in the Big 10. Their intent is to stay independent as long as possible and they have the resources in place to do it. If they do go to a conference (and they could have their pick), they would favor the ACC to gain better access to east coast and Florida recruits.

Dear Patriot,
I realize you must be disappointed about only 1 of the top 5 performing H.S. recruits being headed to Utah, and 3 of the top 5 being headed to BYU, but your testimonial against BYU is not going to turn away any of the quality players who will continue to recognize BYU as a very high quality football program with a very bright future.

I know I'm late to the game here, but I don't see any indication that Butch Pau'u has all but "de-committed" to BYU on Scout or Rivals. I did see some news which was traced back to HuskerOnline, way back in June, that said he would be visiting schools. Hardly any sign that he has "all but de-committed." Then there is an article from Jay Drew yesterday with the title "Anaheim LB Butch Pauu not wavering on BYU commitment, coach says" - Glad to hear he really is committed, and glad to see BYU recruits doing so well.

Editorial: Our tab for intelligence
Watchdog groups say it has taken 30 years to get to this point, but the federal government has voluntarily released how much the United States spends on its intelligence activities — $80.1 billion for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30.
Only the top-line figure was revealed — there was no program-by-program breakdown — but it was enough to begin prompting comparisons with other security-related spending: $51 billion on the State Department and foreign aid; $42.6 billion on the Department of Homeland Security; $30 billion on the Department of Justice.
The $80.1 billion was triple what the government was spending on intelligence in 1997 and 1998, when the government had to divulge the total in response to a court suit, and double what was being spent at the time of the 9/11 attacks.
The figure includes $53.1 billion to the CIA and some of the other 16 intelligence agencies, some of which run truly costly programs like the National Security Agency's massive electronic eavesdropping and surveillance network and the spy satellites of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
The new director of national intelligence, James Clapper, said when he took office that the top-line figure should be made public, Defense Secretary Robert Gates agreed and now the number is to be disclosed annually.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who as chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee presumably had some responsibility for the level of spending, said it had "blossomed to an unacceptable level in the past decade." She said "cuts will be necessary."
Mr. Gates took a more measured approach and said it makes sense to take a look at the spending and say, "OK, we've built tremendous capability, but do we have more than we need?"
While it is nice to know what we're spending, it would be even better to know, consistent with national security, what we're getting for all that money.
