Anyone who knows Panama will appreciate how rare it is to find 1 mile of titled beachfront. The property is flat and easy to build on. It could be divided into 60 lots or used for a resort, hotel or condo project. It has public road access, electricity and water.
The Torio area is extremely scenic and attractive, with spectacular western facing sunsets over the ocean and undulating hills that rise from the water's edge.

The location was supposed to be open from 10am - 2pm. No one was there during those hours. The drop box to leave the key for the truck was unlocked. Had to call the Lubbock office to find a resolution as how and where to leave the key. Neither phone number to the winks location was in service.

Number of ratings 40 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Excellent class. Lectures and law cases always interesting. Wish he taught more classes. Think he only teaches the business law class.
get the book. helpful on exams. lectures and examples also very helpful on exams. great professor.
This professor is really good. Keeps things real which I appreciated very much. Book was used for reading so old version worked well for me.
Lawernce is HOTTTT!!! like even if you were not intrested in the class you will want to go just to look at him!
professor is hot. class is actually good.
amazing professor.
Get text and professor elassal gives handouts that were key. No homework either!
Great class. This professor can teach good. I felt he was very helpful in teaching.
really great professor and really fine and really intelligent.
Great instructor!!!! Tests are for 3 chapters but it's not for material we didnt cover. Very flexible in grading even gave extra points after the test for "human error". Test is made of scenarios of legal terms to make sure you understand what you have heard and read....Good class!!
good teacher and good at explaining a lot of things in class. the work however was a lot harder than it should be. I worked my butt off all semester and still got a C
Maybe when we're given more opportunities to raise our grades I would recommend this teacher. Or have a test for each chapter rather than 3 chapters at a time. It's a lot of material to cover in one hard test.
Tough material that we covered in class. Teacher was tough, but explained things clearly. Tests were hard, especially the multiple choices. Grading style was a bit too harsh considering only four things determines your grade.
business law, very good class, very good professor for law class and he brings many court examples into class which helped me better understand and be interested
Best Professor. Explains everything and made it great for me to understand the class
he knows his stuff and very good at explaining them. However the subject was a little hard and the tests were kinda tricky too.
Boring and hard subject but a good teacher.
great professor. He did explain things clearly with a lot of examples and was very helpful to the students. But I agree with some of the ratings, the grading system was kinda impractical and impossible to get an A for as hard his tests were.
not easy professor, but great class.

text: Chilton would prefer Glock as 2013 teammate 12 February, 2013 Max Chilton Marussia's newly signed rookie Max Chilton has admitted he would prefer to have experienced Timo Glock as his teammate in 2013. Actually, Marussia dispensed with German Glock's experienced services in favour of another 'pay driver' – another rookie in the form of Brazilian Luiz Razia. "It is not ideal," Briton Chilton is quoted by Germany's motorsport-total.com. "I had been looking forward to being Timo's teammate, because of his vast experience." Chilton, 21, acknowledged however that he is sure the team will not encounter any serious "problems" as the result of its all-new driver lineup. "Unless we were all capable, we would not be in formula one," he insisted. In fact, he thinks that – in some ways – it could be an advantage for both himself and Razia, who is 23. Neither of us are number one or number two, so the team will treat us the same," said Chilton. The British broadcaster Sky quoted McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh as saying it's "sad" there are so many pay-drivers in F1 now who are arguably "fundamentally not good enough" to be on the grid. But his Sauber counterpart Monisha Kaltenborn, who is arguing strongly for cost-cutting action in F1, said labelling young drivers like that is not fair. "There has always been fluctuation on the grid and nobody was harping on about pay drivers," she told the sport's official website. "Everybody who comes into formula one is on a high level and if there are only a limited number of seats, then of course every team is looking for the best option. Who wouldn't?"

Medieval brooch unearthed in East Lancs declared treasure
2:00pm Friday 28th March 2014 in News By Jon Robinson, Reporter
A MEDIEVAL brooch dating to the late 13th century has been unearthed in East Lancashire.
Christopher Lawson, from Read, came across the artefact in Gisburn with his metal detector in December.
The find, which has been named 'The Ribble Valley Brooch', was categorised as treasure at an inquest in Clitheroe on Wednesday.
Assistant coroner Elaine Block said that it could be classed as treasure due to its age and that it contains more than 10 per cent of silver.
The Museum of Lancashire has expressed an interest in the artefact and entered into discussions with the British Museum.
The silver brooch dates from between 1280 and 1320 and is a circular sectioned frame, which has become slightly distorted, with four equally spaces and separately made 'knops', which are undecorated. A brooch is described as a decorative clasp or pin.
The brooch has worn smooth over the majority of the surface and is missing the pin which made it functional.
It is 37mm in diameter and weights 3.84g and was identified by Stuart Noon at the Museum of Lancashire.
Ian Richardson, a treasure registrar at the British Museum, said: "Its monetary value is unknown.
"Now the item has been categorised as treasure, the process can move on to deciding where it will be housed.
"The British Museum has entered into discussions with the Museum of Lancashire which has expressed an interest in housing the artefact.
"The Treasure Valuation committee will discuss the significance of the item and rule how much it's worth."
If a museum wants to acquire the find, the finder and landowner have a right to receive a monetary reward.
However, if a museum does not want to purchase it, the finder can keep it and can sell it.

Miley Cyrus in Cosmopolitan December 2013: "Katy Perry Has Been So Cool"
She called it quits with her fiance Liam Hemsworth in September, and now Miley Cyrus reveals her primary focus in the December 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
While rocking a few poses for the Peter Pedonomou-shot spread, the "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker dished about her recent relationship drama and shared her feelings about the constant criticism of her VMA performance.
Check out GossipCenter's recap of Miss Cyrus' Q&A session below. For more, be sure to visit Cosmopolitan!
On being single:
"I need to treat my music like a relationship. - give it my time and all the attention it deserves - and that's my main love right now. This is the best time of my life. I'm not going to look back on it and be like, I wish I hadn't been dwelling over a breakup,' you know? Because that's not what God wants my life to be about right now. God wants my life to be about being successful and being happy and blessing other people and being blessed."
On her big year of change:
"Everything is so chaotic and crazy right now and it's so much all at once, but I'm living for it. I'm just having the best time ever and everything's falling into place like it's supposed to. Even people who want to hate me, they can't even shut down the fact that I'm literally what everyone is talking about. I don't want to say that I'm top right now - I feel like I'm kind of an underdog in a cool way. It's almost punk rock to me because it's not the right thing to do. Like, society wants to shut me down."
On her controversial performance of "We Can't Stop":
"When people are complaining about the awards show, I was like, 'Have you never seen the f***ing video?' And what if I hadn't done that performance? The VMAs would have been bad. They would have been missing something. The show was kind of making fun of how series the pop industry is."
On her haters:
"I don't really care. I think everyone would have given anything to be at that moment, because I was being one hundred percent true to myself... and not many people can say that. At the end of the day, I would say I'm a nice person, and I take pride in the fact that I treat everyone really well, so there's no reason for anyone to ever come at me because I only want the best for everybody else. I have a song that's like, 'Stay in your lane,' because I'm not going to be you and you're definitely not going to be me, so don't throw shade. I don't ever throw shade at anyone."
On her "Team Miley" celebrity supporters:
"The support of other artists is important because there are not many people who can relate to what I'm going through right now. Kanye West is one of those people, and even Katy Perry has been so cool. It's easy for Kanye to support me because we're in totally separate lanes of competition, but for Katy to say that she appreciate what I'm really doing for the pop industry, that keeps you going. And I mean, who cares what the media buzz is if Kanye West is telling you that you're the s***?"

Jay-Z Signs With Live Nation for a Bazillion Dollars
Bazillion = 150 Million
By Amy Phillips on April 3, 2008 at 1:53 a.m. EDT
Photo by Kyle Gustafson
Big pimpin up in L-I-V-E! The New York Times reports that Jay-Z has signed a $150 million deal with concert promotions behemoth Live Nation, encompassing his tours, albums, endorsements, and other business endeavors over the course of the next ten years. Those other endeavors will be under the rule of a new company called Roc Nation, and "are expected to include his own label, music publishing, and talent consulting and managing," according to the Times.
Live Nation expects at least three albums from Hova during the decade to come, and he's getting $10 million for each of them. We can also look forward to a lot more touring from him. Jay-Z told the Times, "In a way I want to operate like an indie band. Play the music on tour instead of relying on radio. Hopefully we'll get some hits out of there and radio will pick it up, but we won't make it with that in mind."
He also said, "I've turned into the Rolling Stones of hip-hop."
As previously reported, Jigga left his position as President of Def Jam Recordings in December, but was still under contract to the label as a recording artist. He still owes Def Jam one more album, which the Times reports will come out in 2008. So yeah, that album will kind of be like when your parents decided they were getting divorced, but they didn't want to break the news to Grandma until after she came to visit for the holidays, so they pretended that everything was fine and dandy for a few weeks.
This is the second ginormous deal Live Nation has struck this week, with U2 signing a 12-year contract for touring, merchandising, and website management, but not recording. In October, Madonna signed an all-encompassing deal with Live Nation valued at $120 million.
Jay-Z is currently out on the road with Mary J. Blige on a tour put together by, yes, Live Nation.

From Poynter
Twitter started rolling out a new design for profile pages on Tuesday. Plenty of stories compared the new look to Facebook. Among the new features:
- Best Tweets: Tweets that have received more engagement will appear slightly larger, so your best content is easy to find.
- Pinned Tweet: Pin one of your tweets to the top of your page, so it's easy for your followers to see what you're all about.
- Filtered Tweets: Now you can choose which timeline to view when checking out other profiles. Select from these options: tweets, tweets with photos/videos, or tweets and replies.
The most notable visual difference is the addition of a large image a la Facebook's cover photo. While the mostly cosmetic changes don't affect the main Twitter experience, the timeline, they're a good excuse to freshen up your profile page. Here are some tips:

Change Your Mind, Change Your Health: The Truth Behind Mind Body Medicine
At 24 years of age, Sydney-based filmmaker Shannon Harvey was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. She was told if her disease progressed, she could end up with organ failure, or wheelchair bound.
After trying everything from drugs to alternative therapies, with no improvement, Ms Harvey realised her symptoms worsened under stress.
She set about changing her mind, through yoga and meditation, and changing her life to reduce stress, in order to improve her health.
The Connection is the culmination of Ms Harvey's quest for answers. It is a film that reveals the science behind mind body medicine, and shows how frontier research is proving a direct connection between the mind and the body.
The film features leading scientists, researchers and doctors – including Australians Dr Craig Hassed from Monash University, whose research has focused on the cause and effects of stress and immune disease, and Dr Damien Finniss from Griffith University, a leading expert in the clinical applications of placebo.
The Connection clarifies the science of emotions, stress and belief, which can impact the way genetic instructions are carried out, and determine the course of illness.
According to Dr Finniss, "Belief is critical because belief has the ability to trigger part of the overall healing response. In simple terms, belief is part of why we get better. It's not the complete answer, but it's one part of any medical treatment, which is important."
Through the power of testimony, the film shows the way in which relaxation can counter the harmful effects of stress, with remarkable true stories of how mind body medicine helped people recover from severe back pain, heart disease, infertility, cancer and multiple sclerosis.
The Connection is a must-see for health professionals and anyone who wants to take control of recovery from chronic illness.
Ms Harvey says, "This is the film I wanted to see when I got sick. It proves that you can change your mind, change your health and change your life."
The film will premiere in Melbourne and Sydney before being screened in the US and the UK. For dates and locations visit www.theconnection.tv/screenings/
There will also be opportunities for private screenings, for organisations, education institutions or other groups, and the DVD can be pre-ordered from the website.
Watch the trailer on the website today. It will be the most inspiring 2:41 minutes of your life.
Make a Move on Musculoskeletal Health
Make a Move is a campaign to highlight the grossly inadequate level of government funding for musculoskeletal health and wellbeing.
Launched by Arthritis and Osteoporosis Victoria, the campaign aims to raise $1 for every person who lives with a painful and debilitating musculoskeletal (MSK) condition.
In addition, Make a Move intends to raise awareness about the impact of chronic pain associated with MSK conditions, which affect people in prime working age as well as children, not just the elderly.
"We receive less than one percent of recurrent funding from the State Government. This level of funding sends a clear message to the people we represent. A message that says they are not worth it," said CEO Linda Martin.
"Well, we are here to ensure their voices are heard. We want them to know they are worth it."
The campaign launch at Melbourne's Federation Square included a live performance by Vicky O'Keefe, the daughter of Johnny O'Keefe, whose 1963 hit 'Move Baby Move' features on the campaign community service announcement.

Going the Extra Mile with Multidisciplinary Care
A new private pain clinic, Pain Medicine Sydney, based at Prince of Wales Private Hospital, is embracing a broad range of health care specialties to ensure patients get the best multidisciplinary care possible.
Led by Pain Specialist Dr Charlotte Johnstone, the team of health professionals includes a psychiatrist and nutritionist as well as psychologists and a physiotherapist. The clinic is also about to bring on board a social worker and for patients aged 16 to18, engages the services of a child and family psychiatrist.
Dr Johnstone said it was her involvement in rewriting the pain curriculum for the Faculty of Pain Medicine, which led her to develop a broader approach to pain management at her clinic.
"I realised it was necessary to have a practice with health professionals skilled in many different areas, in order to focus on every aspect of patients' lives," said Dr Johnstone.
"Pain management is more a process than a procedure, there isn't just one thing that will fix the pain."
Using a patient-centred approach, the aim is to help patients take control of their pain. Instead of imposing perceptions about what is good for someone, the team encourages patients to determine their own goals and aspirations, and then helps them to achieve those goals, teaching them new skills, tools and techniques.
"The focus is on coaching patients rather than treating them," said Dr Johnstone.
Physiotherapy is not hands-on, it is about developing a person-specific exercise program that the patient can sustain at home, with tai chi, pilates and yoga recommended for individual patients, and the nutritionist is more a dietary coach than someone offering prescriptive changes.
The approach of the psychologists, too, is a practical form of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and all patients learn mindfulness and meditation.
Interventional procedures are offered to patients for whom they are particularly well suited, in order to increase levels of activity.
Although the clinic does not run group pain management programs, many patients are fast-tracked into one of the pain programs at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, where Dr Johnstone also works.
"My patients appreciate the personal approach and those who are motivated to refresh their goals, get better. My job is about sending people back into the community to get on with their lives," said Dr Johnstone.
Joe's Video Blog
Joe O'Donnell is a man on a mission to improve his life and inspire others to do the same.
Now living with spinal cord injury, his video blog A Monoplegic Goes Walkabout takes the viewer on his travels through Australia's natural wonderland.
In his June video blog, he talks about the cyst on his spine and the excruciating pain that resulted. He also talks about the pain he experiences on a daily basis, as a result of his injury.
After trying many techniques to manage his pain, Mr O'Donnell credits the book Manage Your Pain written by a team at the Pain Management Research Institute with giving him the tools to keep on living life.
He recommends the book to anyone living with pain, saying the most helpful thing he learned was how to accept his pain, and use techniques like pacing and desensitisation.
Mr O'Donnell, who has weaned himself off pain medication, says it's important to keep doing the things you love despite the pain, and maintain a positive perspective on life.
Younger Women at Risk of Postmastectomy Pain
A new study has shown that women of younger age and those undergoing axillary lymph node dissection are at greater risk of developing post surgical chronic pain.
The US study examined 300 patients, who were evaluated for pain within six months after surgery, and found that 110 patients (36.7 percent) reported the presence of chronic pain.
Independent risk factors associated with the development of chronic pain were age – the younger the woman, the higher in the incidence of chronic pain – and axillary lymph node dissection. Radiation therapy was not implicated in the development of chronic pain.
In another smaller study, which examined 36 patients, intravenous lidocaine was shown to be effective in reducing chronic postmastectomy pain.
These studies highlight the need for more research into chronic pain and mastectomy, as well as the importance of effective post-surgical pain management, for the prevention of chronic pain.
Discovery Could Lead to New Drugs for Depression Related to Chronic Pain
A new Stanford University study, published in the journal Science, has helped clarify the link between chronic pain and depression.
Researchers have discovered that chronic pain causes changes in the way a neuropeptide called galanin affects certain neurons in a brain region known as the nucleus accumbens.
The study was based on testing mice for their motivation to search for and get food, before and after inducing chronic pain through injury.
The study found that after injury, the mice were just as interested in food, but gave up trying to locate it, if it required too much work.
Despite the use of painkillers, the injured mice remained under-motivated, with the result that they obtained less food.
According to researchers, this is equivalent to people with chronic pain and depression, who find it difficult to become motivated to do anything, even activities that are important to them.
By breeding genetically altered mice, they found that elimination of galanin restored the function of the reward system in cases where mice with chronic pain had to put in more effort to obtain food.
However, the presence of galanin, even in small quantities, triggered the pathway that reduces motivation in mice.
Clarifying the role of galanin, then, could help design drugs that could moderate the de-motivating influence of chronic pain.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome Interferes with Pain Treatments
Researchers at the University of Adelaide University's Nerve-Gut Research Laboratory have discovered that the immune system is defective in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Up to 10 percent of the community is affected by IBS, which is characterised by unexplained gut pain.
The research – the first of its kind in the world – has demonstrated the mechanisms involved, and the differences between the immune pain response in healthy people and those suffering from IBS, which could also help to explain why some painkillers may not offer satisfactory relief.
"This study is the first to give us a real understanding of the interaction between the immune system and pain symptoms in IBS patients," said lead author Dr Patrick Hughes, NHMRC Peter Doherty Fellow with the University's School of Medicine.
"The gut contains specialised immune cells, known as monocytes and macrophages. Our research has shown that in healthy people, these immune cells normally secrete opioid chemicals, like morphine, that block pain. But in people with IBS, the opioid production by these cells is defective.
"So it's no wonder that people with IBS are experiencing ongoing periods of unexplained pain. And if the immune system is defective, it may also mean that painkilling medications taken by the patient to relieve their symptoms are not being adequately converted to pain relief."
Funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council, the research assessed samples from more than 100 people, half of them healthy and half suffering from IBS.
It is hoped the findings will lead to more targeted treatments in the future.
The results have been published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity
Headache App to Improve Research Outcomes
Griffith University has launched a new app designed for use in studies to record daily ratings of head pain.
The app will be used in projects such as the ENHANCE project, which is investigating the effectiveness of managing headaches using a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and a new approach called learning to cope with triggers (LCT).
The Griffith University research team, led by Professor Paul Martin of the Behavioural Basis of Health program, aims to help people with headache become desensitised to triggers such as food, noise and stress, or to build up a tolerance to them.
In partnership with Wexpert Technologies, Professor Martin's team has developed an electronic headache diary that can be used by participants in the study in order to record daily ratings of head pain.
According to Professor Martin, the new app will help improve research outcomes.
"Information recorded via the app can be directly downloaded into data files, saving time and eliminating transcription errors," he said.
"The technology will enable the team to know when the ratings of head pain are made, rather than relying on the self reports of the participants.
"This app will benefit the ENHANCE project but will also be a very useful tool for other headache researchers around the world."
Griffith University has also launched another app, designed to help patients with chronic fatigue syndrome better manage their illness. Called CliniHelp, it is also suitable for patients with multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, allowing them to record symptoms, track them on a weekly basis, and monitor changes in their condition.
New Migraine Medication
Preliminary evidence has shown that the new medication LY2951742, a fully humanised monoclonal antibody to calcitonin gene-related peptide, might be beneficial in migraine prevention.
The randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 proof-of-concept study was carried out by researchers at 35 centres in the US. A total of 217 patients participated in the study. They were aged 18 to 65, with four to 14 migraines per month.
The results showed a decrease of 62.5 percent in the mean change from baseline to week 12 in the number of migraine headache days.
Safety was assessed during the 12-week treatment period and for 12 weeks afterwards, with adverse events including injection site pain, erythema, or both.

Pharmacists Invited to Help Plan for the Future
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has launched a major national survey, in order to help inform the provision of more evidence-based services in the future.
With a view to developing a 10-year blueprint for pharmacist professional services, the survey will look at the role of professional services in the Sixth Community Pharmacy Agreement, and at areas such as pharmacists working in GP practices where the PSA and the Australian Medical Association are already
working collaboratively.
CEO of the PSA, Dr Lance Emerson, said, "The profession has been largely focused on the community pharmacy agreements driving practice change, and while the CPAs are important, we need to look beyond the five-year agreements to see more evidence-based professional services delivered by pharmacists in a range of different areas through a range of different funding sources."
The PSA sees the role of pharmacists extending to services delivered in community, clinical and other settings, and will be looking to secure remuneration for services that have been shown to improve health outcomes.
To complete the survey, visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/PSAsurvey2014
Seeking Volunteers for Research
IMPACT study: The University of Melbourne Physiotherapy Department is seeking people with persistent knee pain and knee osteoarthritis for a study into different treatment options.
The IMPACT (Internet Mediated Physiotherapy and Pain Coping Skills Training) study will evaluate different treatments delivered over the Internet, including online educational handouts, an exercise program delivered by a physiotherapist through Skype, and an online pain coping skills training program.
Eligible participants must be more than 50 years old, have had knee pain for more than three months, and have an active email account and home broadband access to the Internet.
People are excluded from participating if: they are already receiving physical treatment for knee pain; they have had a joint replacement on their painful side; they are on a waiting list for knee or joint replacement surgery; or if they have systematic arthritis.
For more information or to register your interest, email Rachel at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the IMPACT knee pain web page.
Neuropathic pain study: A new neuropathic pain health awareness campaign is seeking the opinions of people who experience chronic pain, carers and family members.
The survey is strictly a market research survey and the results will be used to raise awareness in the general public of nerve pain.
Visit surveys.ekasresearch.com.au/s/Recovery to view the survey and privacy statement.
Answers will be completely confidential and anonymous. This research is being conducted on behalf of a pharmaceutical company and in partnership with Chronic Pain Australia.
The Ride 4 Pain is on again this year, a cycling challenge dedicated to raising community awareness about chronic pain, to be held on 16 November 2014.
With routes that combine a selection of famous road climbs in the Adelaide Hills, over two, four or six hours, the intention is to replicate the pain experience that one in five Australians live with every day.
Next year, on 30 March 2015, Adelaide will host the PainAdelaide event, what is described as "possibly the best pain meeting in the world". Health professionals interested in attending are urged to save the date.
PainAdelaide is a collaboration between the three major universities, as well as Pfizer, WorkcoverSA, the Royal Adelaide Hospital, and the SAHMRI.

Natural Gas & Oil Drilling Topics
Democracy Now! reports on natural gas and oil drilling, with a focus on the environmental and human health effects.
Oil giant Exxon Mobil faces mounting criticism of its cleanup efforts after one of its oil pipelines ruptured on Friday and leaked 42,000 gallons of crude oil into Montana's Yellowstone River. The company initially downplayed the incident by saying it would only affect 10 miles of the river, but state officials say the oil has already stretched over 240 miles to near the North Dakota border. The spill comes as the Obama administration considers...Jul 07, 2011 | Story
Family farmer, Alexis Bonogofsky, didn't get a phone call from ExxonMobil Pipeline Company when its pipeline ruptured Friday night beneath the Yellowstone River, leaking as much as 42,000 gallons of crude oil into the water and onto neighboring land of property owners such as herself. Instead, she discovered "globs of oil" Saturday morning while checking on the flooded pastureland where she grazes her goats. [includes rush transcript]Jul 05, 2011 | Web Exclusive
Critics Dub Planned Puerto Rico Pipeline the "Death Route" for Alleged Threat to Environment, Public HealthPresident Barack Obama is due to visit Puerto Rico next week in what will be the first official U.S. presidential visit to the territory in 50 years. His trip comes as controversy grows over a proposed 92-mile natural gas pipeline that would cut across much of the island. Puerto Rico Governor Luis Fortuño has made the $450 million project a central goal of his administration and insists it is a safe and environmentally friendly way to lower utility...Jun 09, 2011 | Story
About 30 states allow hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," the natural gas drilling process that injects millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals deep into the earth in order to break up shale rock and release natural gas. New York has imposed a partial moratorium on the drilling process pending the outcome of an environmental impact study this July. Yesterday, New York state lawmakers held a hearing on the health impacts of fracking,...May 27, 2011 | Story
Today marks the one-year anniversary of the worst maritime oil spill in U.S. history. Last year on April 20, the Deepwater Horizon rig, leased by oil giant BP, exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and releasing nearly 200 million gallons of oil, tens of millions of gallons of natural gas and 1.8 million gallons of other chemicals. A year later, how much has changed? "[Another spill] could happen again tomorrow. And if it did, the...Apr 20, 2011 | Story
One year after the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, residents of affected coastal communities have reported health ailments such as severe coughing, migraines and irritations that are consistent with common symptoms of chemical exposure. Fishermen and shrimpers have reported record losses in sales and fear the spill will cause long-term damage to marine life and the economy of the region. Many residents report problems...Apr 20, 2011 | Story
Deepwater Drilling Resumes Despite Unclear Impact of BP Spill: "It is All about Hiding the Oil, Not Cleaning It Up"Many scientists remain concerned that chemical dispersants used during the BP oil spill recovery effort may have damaged marine habitats, affecting many endangered species. "You've got this unbelievable chemical soup out there on the order that's never been seen before," says our guest, Kieran Suckling, director of the Center for Biological Diversity. Meanwhile, the federal government has awarded its first permit for deepwater...Apr 20, 2011 | Story
"We've had many deaths of humans directly attributed to this disaster," says investigative journalist Dahr Jamail. "I recently spoke with Dr. Mike Robichaux, a doctor in Louisiana who's treated scores of people. And he said, if we do not have federal government intervention immediately to deal with this and start treating people and start really cleaning this up appropriately, we're going to have a lot of dead...Apr 20, 2011 | Story
Father of Deepwater Horizon Victim: The Blowout Was "Inevitable" Due to BP's Lack of Safety PrecautionsOne year ago today, 28-year-old Gordon Jones was one of 11 workers killed aboard the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that exploded April 20. Today we speak to his father, Keith Jones, who has been critical of the operators of the rig. "BP and Halliburton and Transocean peeled back layer after layer after layer of safety protections, one after another, until this blowout was inevitable," says Keith Jones.

Naomi Klein: Tim DeChristopher Guilty Verdict Exposes "Double Standard" of How "Oil and Gas Companies Privatize Profits...Externalize the Cost"Environmental activist Tim DeChristopher was convicted last week of two felony counts for disrupting an auction of more than 100,000 acres of federal land for oil and gas drilling in December 2008. Award-winning journalist Naomi Klein talks about why she signed on to a public letter of support for DeChristopher. "What did Tim DeChristopher do wrong? They said that he participated in an auction and without the intention to pay," Klein...Mar 09, 2011 | Story

Collectively ARL libraries hold more than 470 million print volumes. These works are complemented by many digital works and special collections. Preservation has long been an area of significant activity both for ARL and its member libraries. In 2007, the ARL Task Force on the Future of Preservation in Research Libraries convened a group of preservation experts and association leaders who issued a set of recommendations for ARL, associations sharing ARL's preservation concerns, and ARL member libraries. This statement, approved by the ARL Board of Directors on July 24, 2007, expresses the emphasis the task force sees for research libraries and their preservation mission: "For the scholars and researchers we serve to have enduring access to scholarship in all formats, ARL members libraries must invest in maintaining strong local and cooperative preservation programs."

Pocket-sized game systems: 3DS v. Nexus 7
Consoles are dead. PCs are dead. Smartphones and tablets are alive and dedicated mobile gaming has gone to meet its maker. These sentiments are synonymous with 2012, a year in which humans had so far transcended all previous trends, and took up more serious, boring ones ever since the birth of the iPhone — thanks, 2007.
But 2013 is the year that these "dead" devices came out to play. The Xbox One and the PS4 both released, SteamOS became a thing. The words "Linux" and "gaming" were found in the same sentence, and Zelda and Animal Crossing legitimized Nintendo's two-year old effort with the 3DS.
So I find myself at a very curious impasse. As an owner of a first generation Nexus 7, a PC, and a iPhone (sigh), I want something different. A unique gadget that fills whatever void is in my tech collection. I've narrowed my choices down to two very different but very simple devices: 1) I upgrade to the lauded Nexus 7 (2013), or try something even more against the trend 2) a Nintendo 3DS XL.
Times have changed drastically
Back in the day, I owned a crimson Nintendo DS Lite. I absolutely loved the the little gadget. I stayed up too late solving puzzles with Professor Layton, and adventured with Zelda and the rest of Nintendo's motley crew. But I sold it and moved on. I thought I would never look back at the dying genre that is mobile gaming.
Of course, with the existence of the iPhone and Android, I thought I would enjoy the class of games that followed suit. I didn't. There's no tactility in iPhone gaming, and Android lacks a certain consistency, even with a similar gaming library.
That's why the Nintendo 3DS seems to make sense. It's a quality, durable system, albeit single-purposed. It's got plenty of high quality titles and I have enjoyed Nintendo games in the past. It received a middling score from Sam Byford last year, but even then he pointed out that "[n]ow would be as good a time to jump on as any for those wanting a little more [from mobile gaming]."
Decisions, decisions. . .
On the flip side, I've lived without a dedicated mobile system for quite some time. The Nexus 7 I currently own is adequate for watching movies on the go, but still seems a bit too cumbersome for extended gameplay. The latest Nexus 7 checks every box for me. It can stream Netflix, run Spotify, play a plethora of games, and is in a smaller form than its previous iteration.
So help me decide, fellow tech-goers. Which should I choose?

Robert Work, the undersecretary of the Navy, says forget about the Reagan-era aspirations of a 600-ship fleet. Even with a smaller Navy, things are better than ever, he says, even if they're about to get worse due to smaller budgets and the threat of sequestration. "Yes, things might get worse. In fact, they probably will get worse. But this is the heyday of the U.S. Navy. And, if you're not excited, you ain't breathing," he said at the Surface Navy Association's annual symposium this week.
Navy reducing IT spending ahead of schedule
