Ukrainian President: Adoption Should Not Be Politicized

KIEV, January 4 (RIA Novosti) – Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych has waded into the heated debate on international adoption that followed the US Magnitsky Act and Russia's response, stressing that the issue of adoption must not be politicized.
"My main principle is that the interests of the child should be paramount in all issues that concern them. I think it is wrong for the issue of adoption to be focused on to political ends," Yanukovych said in an interview with a Ukrainian newspaper on Friday.
The debate over the issue continues, following the US introduction of the Magnitsky Act and Russia's response – which includes a ban on the adoption of Russian children by US citizens.
In his interview with Ukraine's Komsomolskaya Pravda, the president was adamant that adoption-related issues should be handled professionally. He also made the point that the need for international adoption would vanish if homes for abandoned children could be found domestically.
"In recent years the state's priority regarding adoption has fundamentally changed. Our day-to-day task, which we are seeing bear fruit, is for each child who has lost their parents to find a home within Ukraine," he said.
Yanukovych noted that, this year, Ukrainians adopted nearly three times more children than foreigners, and added that Ukrainian law places a restriction on the adoption of healthy children under five by foreigners.

Israel seeks to 'silence' sound of prayer calls in Al-Quds: Foundation
By Anees Barghouthy, Sunday, March 02, 2014
AL-QUDS – The Israeli authorities are trying to silence prayer calls (Azan) emanating from the mosques of Al-Quds (occupied East Jerusalem) under the pretext that the calls are "nuisance," Al-Aqsa Foundation for Endowment and Heritage warned Sunday.
"The Azan will always come out from the minarets of Al-Quds, and particularly the Al-Aqsa Mosque," the foundation, which seeks to safeguard the iconic mosque from Israeli violations, said in its statement.
Israeli media reported that the Israeli Jerusalem municipality seeks to lower down the sound of the Azan in the mosques of the holy city with the stated aim of reducing the noise around the city.
Sheikh Azzam al-Khatib, director-general of Muslim endowments and Al-Aqsa affairs, told Anadolu Agency that the scheme is part of Israeli attempts to " obliterate the Islamic culture in the holy city.
"Arab and Islamic world must prevent Israel from Judaizing the city of Al-Quds" al-Khatib argued.
Israel occupied Al-Quds during the 1967 Middle East War. It later annexed the holy city in 1980, claiming it as the capital of the self-proclaimed Jewish state.
Palestinians accuse Israel of trying to "Judaize" the holy city, which they want as the capital of a future Palestinian state.

Sean Wilentz: Cherry-Picking Our History
Sean Wilentz is George Henry Davis 1886 Professor of American History at Princeton and author of The Rise of American Democracy. (February 2013)Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick's new book and accompanying ten-part televised documentary have a misleading title. Most if not all of the interpretations that they present in The Untold History of the United States—from the war in the Philippines to the one in Afghanistan—have appeared in revisionist histories of American foreign policy written over the last fifty years. Challenged by early reviewers, Stone and Kuznick have essentially conceded the point about their sources and claimed that what they call the "revisionist narrative" that informs their book has in truth become "the dominant narrative among university-based historians."

21-year old college student Heather Rooney decided to honor the memory Robin Williams, with this photorealistic pencil drawing of the actor. What will take you close to five minutes to watch took her over 30 hours. This man's gift to the world will be timeless.
And he will forever be missed.
"You realize there are a lot of amazing people out there to be grateful for. And a loving God… That's what life is about."
– Robin Williams, 1951-2014
I wasn't ready to say goodbye. You helped me via your art know that I didn't have to be "normal" that there wasn't a reason to fit in.
You made it known it was ok to be expressive and for this; I am blessed to have had you entertain me over the years.
I don't write this post for you. It's very obvious you will not be reading it, but I share it with the fellow fans who too know what its like to be normal; yet so different from others. And you know, there is nothing wrong with that.
RIP: Robin Williams, I will forever be thankful fan.
I encountered an issue where both Forefront Identity Manager and Office 365 DirSync both failed to start.
My investigation of this after I received an email from @MicrosoftOnline.com which had informed me that Windows Azure Active Directory did not register a synchronization attempt from the Directory Sync tool.
I attempted to do was start the Microsoft Online Services Directory Synchronization Service. This had failed because depends on Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service which was also no longer starting.
I attempted to start the Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service this failed with the following message:
Verify that the service account has permissions to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Synchronization Service
If the problem persists, run setup and restore the encryption keys from backup.
After my verification I attempted I uninstalled the Office 365 DirSync along with Forefront Identity Manager and SQL which were all installed. This time around I unable to even install the Office 365 DirSync
All three of my attempts had failed.
So what changed?
I rebooted the system; and after it had resumed the services which worked seemed to no longer function.
Then it *clicked* after much investigation and review. The question I did not ask. Could Office 365 exist on the same system that's also running ADFS. I soon found out the answer is " *NO* ".
The Directory Synchronization tool cannot be installed on Active Directory Federation Service.
So I uninstalled the Office 365 DirSync, along with SQL. Followed by the removal of the ADFS Role from the server.
After the restart I installed the Office 365 DirSync again and configured it as I have done before and all is working once again.
And now I and you all know
I hope this post help you and saves you some time. I spent a day working on this and waiting for Microsoft to call me. I seems like I have resolved this issue on my own; once again.
If your using Office 365 DirSync do NOT enable the ADFS Role if you do, you run the sure chance of breaking your working Office 365 DirSync.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own backyard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Quando sono solo sogno all'orizzonte
E mancan le parole
Si lo so che non c' luce
In una stanza quando manca il sole
Se non ci sei tu con me, con me
Su le finestre
Mostra a tutti il mio cuore che hai accesso
Chiudi dentro me
La luce che hai incontrato per strada
Time to say goodbye paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te adesso s li vivro
Con te partiro su navi per mari che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono piu, it's time to say goodbye
Quando sei lontana sogno all'orizzonte
E mancane le parole
E io s lo so che sei con me, con me
Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
Mio sole tu sei qui con me, con me, con me, con me
Time to say goodbye paesi che non ho mai
Veduto e vissuto con te adesso s li vivro
Con te partir su navi per mari che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono piu con te io li rivivr
Con te partir su navi per mari che, io lo so
No, no, non esistono pi con te io li rivivro
Con te partiro

Data mining introduces new problems in database security. The basic problem of using non-sensitive data to infer sensitive data is made more difficult by the "probabilistic" inferences possible with data mining. This paper shows how lower bounds from pattern recognition theory can be used to determine sample sizes where data mining tools cannot obtain reliable results. 1

One solution would be to use clustering techniques on the database (e.g., self-organizing maps =-=[Koh90]-=- with thresholds on nearest neighbor) to give a likely value for the vc-dimension of a reasonable classifier. This idea is based on grouping the potential rule left-hand sides into similar groups, wit...

you're just another useful idiot, you wouldn't last 30 days in a communist society.<quoted text>
The United States is in much better shape now then it was after Bush attempted to destroy it from 2001-08. All records prove that. Your argument is weak and based on lies that your republican friends fed you. You will believe anything the right-wing extremists tell you to believe because you don't know how to deal with the fact that your party is falling apart and the whole world is laughing at republican failures. Lol. You are a disgrace and an embarrassment to true Patriotic Americans like me. You Are the American Taliban and you should be destroyed before you do any more damage to this country. I can't decide weather It's sad or amusing the way you refuse to educate yourself. You are pathetic and worthless. Continue posting stupid factless links to opinion sites, keep talking about your imaginary god and keep thinking that you know what you're talking about, keep being an elderly, paranoid, racist, alcoholic shut-in Because in real life, in the real world you are now and have always been simply worthless. Don't be afraid to look in the miror and look at what you have become. Lol. You're a Failure @ Life.
The first thing you would lose, your freedom of speech, that alone would drive you over the edge.
The Communist have a very effective way to shut you up, remember "The Killing Fields", very effective.

Here is something to chew on for those who think that Barry Goldwater would be embraced by today's Republican Party. It is profoundly disconcerting to think of Barry Goldwater as a "lefty" compared to what passes for as a Republican nowadays...
And in the 1920s, nobody would have believed that so modern a country as Germany could go that way either. "Hyperbolic nonsense" would have been exactly the response to such a suggestion. Hmmm....
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Democrats love ideas that have never, ever worked. Republicans are smart enough to resist.
No. This is just a classic fork in the road for conservatives: law and order vs. freedom. Many Americans are willing to sacrifice some freedom to ensure that criminals are arrested before they cause trouble. Most Americans don't care about searches because they will never be in a situation where they will subject to a search. Only people who probably should be in jail care about 4th Amendment jurisprudence.
I give up. No use arguing with a blockhead Democrat.
Nice you you inject race when it isn't mentioned. You do this in all discussions to someone you disagree with? Typical Alynskite mis-direction. I said forced to make loans to people who couldn't pay them back.
So you would rather live under a repressive theocracy than a muddled free society? Sorry I don't think I understand your point or analogy.
Combined government spending = 41% of GDP. You consider that "small"?? If so...what % of GDP do you consider large??
No, actually is sounds like the Bush 2.0 regime.
"an insurgent outlier—ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition."
The statement above describes both of the parties. The Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans. Both parties are mad and after their own good you can't single out just one of them.
What we have today is two parties after their own good instead of that of the people. Unfortunately servant leadership in politics is a thing of the past for a vast majority of cases. No mater who wins we (the people) lose.
we need more leaders like there were in the the old days who are truly after the good of the nation. Guys like Theodore Roosevelt who wether you like him or not was truly after the good of the american people and worked tooth and nail to make america a better place. You won't find Obama or Mit working hands on on a major project like TR did on Panama Canal.
Okay, Defense spending makes up about 27% of the federal budget, about 7% of which is Overseas Contingency Spending. That 7% is going to pretty much disappear when the US pulls out of Afghanistan, barring something unlikely happening.
As for Homeland Security (which I imagine is actually popular among both parties) and illegal alien defense... they take up well less than 2% of the budget. That isn't a "huge chunk" of the federal budget by any means.
In conclusion, do your homework before posting stuff like this.
Edit: by homework I mean research. I don't mean to imply that you're a student. Although you might be.
Over the past 30 years, a Republican controlled House has generated a budget surplus 4 times. Democrats have not produced a budget surplus in the previous 30 years. Democrat controlled Houses are responsible for over 60% of the added deficit over the previous 30 years, thus they have borrowed more than Republicans. Both parties are hypocrites in some regards and likely "morally bankrupt". I'm just pointing out facts, but don't let those get in the way of Political Bigotry. There is plenty of room here in the middle if you'd like to join us (educated and fair-minded).
While the "Alice In Wonderland" quality of the Republican Party's dogma is these days not at all lost on the editors of Lexington, it is sadly and completely lost on the American public. Which is precisely where Grover Norquist, playing "Stain" to the Republican Party's "Red Queen", comes in.
Norquist is thoroughly economically illiterate, self-serving and fascist: He wishes to destroy the US Federal Government's power to intervene in the lives of the rich, leaving them instead to their own devices, i.e., to rape the poor and to burden the middle class with the cost of running a much smaller, truncated Federal Government. He wants all power of any importance transferred to the individual States, and he wants to keep the Federal Government tied to its role of foreign constable in chief, in order to allow the rich to keep on raping and oppressing whomever they choose.
Norquist's madness lies in his inability to conceive that this has all been tried before, i.e., in the American Confederation of 1780 - 1789. The US Constitution of 1789 was enacted among the States to create a strong central government and, so, to overcome the Confederation's insufferable political gridlock and economic chaos. This is precisely why the new Constitution granted the US Government certain enumerated powers, including the vast and nearly limitless power plenary powers "to raise revenues" and "to regulate commerce between the States and among them and foreign nations", i.e., to Tax and to regulate Interstate Commerce.
Congress Tax Power is limited only by the requirement that taxes be rationally related to a valid government purpose. Congress's Commerce Clause Power is likewise plenary and virtually unlimited. Norquist and friends are unsettled by the consequences of these vast powers, especially inasmuch as the US economy has grown and transmogrified into a powerhouse all but unimaginable at the time of the Founding Fathers. Norquist knows full well that he can never pass a constitutional amendment stripping the Federal Government of its power to tax and spend, on the one hand, or to regulate interstate commerce, on the other. Instead, he seeks to make it impossible for Congress to govern by threatening certain defeat at the next election to any politician who attempts to govern. Much like Stain duped the Red Queen, Norquist has managed as well as he has for so long by duping the American Public into believing that it can have expensive and broad government services without ever actually paying for them.
But one day, surely, it comes time to pay the piper. That day has arrived.
The American Public, while miserably selfish in many respects, cannot forever be duped. We have suffered the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of 1929, but not on the watch of the Democratic Party. The crisis arose because of the Republican insistence on cutting taxes for the rich and ignoring the resulting deficits. Instead of borrowing from abroad and putting our grandchildren in hock for the next century, it's high time for America to begin to make the rich pay for their party and for all the damage that they have wrought to our country.
America's taxes are overall TOO LOW, which is why the deficit exists in the first place: Taxes must rise, first and foremost on the rich, and particularly on "capital at rest", i.e., on the accumulated cash, equity and other property holdings of the wealthy. Where capital is accumulated and left to lie fallow beyond 1 million dollars of evaluation, this should be taxed at the rate of 1% per year on such "excess". Those whose balance sheets come below 1 million dollars should be exempted from this federal property tax, as should those who have invested their wealth directly in productive enterprises (whether through stock, bonds or private lending). Companies should not be exempted, and those companies which pile up cash, stocks and other assets should be required to file a business plan with tax authorities, demonstrating their intentions to use their wealth in verifiable business endeavors, failing which they should be made to distribute the excess. In this vein, the ability of companies to make passive investments in other companies should be closely regulated and taxed appropriately.
It's patently obscene to observe major industrial companies pile up cash to no purpose, while millions go starving or searching for a roof over their heads. The top marginal income tax rate should be returned to 50% at the federal level, and the Buffet Rule should be enacted. The rich and the upper middle classes should expect that their federal and state taxes will rise on net income above 250,000 per year per family and on wealth "at rest" above 1 million. Those who make less than the 40th percentile of income should remain removed from federal tax liability, as they are today. The earned income credit for the poor should be continued, if not expanded. A US VAT should be enacted.
Well, The UK has deemed Murdoch to be unfit to run his media empire there so it is time that the US comes to the same conclusion and eradicate Fox News. History will tell the story of the rot that has been inflicted on the political process by Murdoch and his pandering to the lowest common denominator.
the gop strategy only works if enough independent blame Obama for the Republicants obstructionism. For now, it works better than it should, but thankfully it's not enough ... yet.
But if all the KKKonservative superpacs align, Obama will be seriously outspend, and Rmoney will pore millions of his own money into his campaign.
@ ijljjns
See here the ridiculous denial of the ReichWingers: Western Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan are huge failures? All these areas do humongously better than America regarding health care, education, teen pregnancy, road maintenance, divorce, crime, etc. You know. The stuff that really matters. America is "good" place for the super wealthy, but a living hell for the poor. (if you define good as getting obscene amounts of money). Europe is great place for the super wealthy, and pretty good for the poor, great for the middle class.
The American Oligarchy works, yes, but only for the superrich.
The Euro-Canadian welfare state works for EVERY ONE.
Also, what makes the superrich so rich? Government contracts, AKA taking TAX DOLLARS, AKA grifting off of the middle class.
yeah. it's not about all that, though. It's about who really lies, and who doesn't. Even the most objective of viewers concedes that Republican'ts lie way, way, way more than Democrats. Just do a tally of all the factcheckers. They are still reasonably impartial and non-partisan.
Republicants Lie LIE LIE, and paint impossible vistas, like trickle-down, and job-creators (job cremators, more like it) and "the poorest Americans don't pay any taxes" (they pay VAT in the states). They hope to get away with it, and it really seems they will.
If voters were rational, they'd be 80-20 pro-Obama. They're not, so yes, voters are irrational. Highly so.
I didn't realize that Lexington was a ontological relativist who is unable to distinguish between people who make more-or-less factual statements in order to solve actual problems and those who tell lies in order to gain power.
To draw an equivalence between Mann/Ornstein and Norquist is just shoddy analysis and poor judgement.
This was a very disappointing essay indeed. Was it ghost-written by Lexington's high school intern? Economist readers deserve far better.
Yes, the GOP has gone mad. But there is method to their madness, and that is to get back the White House at all costs. POTUS inherited a mess from the GOP presidency, and the GOP is doing its best to stop POTUS from unmaking the mess, by opposing on principle anything and everything the latter proposes to get the country out of the GOP-engineered economic mess, and then lay the blame on POTUS for the situation!
Any serious student in economics will tell you that in time of recession, the way out is increased spending to stimulate the economy, and worry about the budget deficit later, since anyway, the debt is denominated in US Dollars, which the US controls ( it would be different if the US debt is denominated in a foreign currency, saym the Chinese Yuan, for example). Yet the GOP would focus on decreasing the spending to control debt. They have their priorities wrong.
Secondly, the rest of the First World is in depression, more or less. They are not blaming their leaders for it, because they understand the situation. Why is the US different from the rest of the world in this respect? The US, like the rest of the First World, needs time and government stimulus to get out of the recession. It seems the GOP wants the economy to flounder further - never mind if untold Americans suffer - so that they can blame POTUS for this, and hope to retake the White House in November 2012....
We have one Steve who gave us so much without asking and now all talk of him in It and flipping the TV pages . If we hade hard honest leaders like him we would be far ahead but ni=o cash is our priority.The principle of keeping meetings small and made up of smart people is deeply woven into the religion of electronics behemoth Apple and is key to any organization that wants to nurture quality thinking. The idea is pretty basic: Everyone in the room should be there for a reason. There's no such thing as a mercy invitation. Either you're critical to the meeting or you're not. It's nothing personal, just business. Apple co-founder, the late Steve Jobs, actively resisted any behavior he believed representative of the way big companies think -- even though Apple had been a big company for many years. When he called a meeting or reported to a meeting, his expectation was that everyone in the room would be an essential participant. Spectators were not welcome.This was based on the somewhat obvious idea that a smaller group would be more focused and motivated than a large group, and smarter people will do higher quality work.For a principle that would seem to be common sense, it's surprising how many organizations fail to observe it. How many overpopulated meetings do you sit through during the course of a year? How many of those meetings get sidetracked or lose focus in a way that would never occur if the group were half the size? The small-group rule requires enforcement, but it's worth the cost. Well this is what all politicians ought to do learn from the great guys honest earning always last to the very bottom of all. I thank you Firozali A.Mulla DBA
It is so interesting that the two parties appear to ignore the fact that our founding fathers put this system in place specifically to prevent one side or the other from having absolute control. I see the democrats going far left and the republicans far right. I haven't seen anything much different in my 51 years of life. Occasionally the parties actually work together, but the voters really don't want this right now.

25 May 2011
International law firm Eversheds has today (25 May 2011) announced that it has merged (and associated in Saudi Arabia) with Middle Eastern law consortium KSLG in a groundbreaking move that will see the firm treble in size in the region.
KSLG is a consortium of Middle Eastern law firms Dhabaan & Partners, Khasawneh & Associates and Sanad Law Group. The consortium provides a full range of quality legal advice ranging from corporate/commercial and real estate, to government policy reform, employment and dispute management. The merger will give Eversheds KSLG unrivalled geographic coverage in the Middle East with offices in Abu Dhabi, Amman, Baghdad, Doha, Dubai and Riyadh.
In a bold strategic move in to the Middle East, the deal will see KSLG fully integrate into Eversheds LLP, but retain the name Eversheds KSLG, pending completion of licensing arrangements.
Nasser Ali Khasawneh, a founding partner of KSLG and managing partner of Eversheds KSLG Dubai office said:
"The vision behind KSLG was to provide clients with a regional practice that could cover work throughout the Middle East with quality, efficiency and a level of service excellence that was consistent in every office of the group. This is a regional practice with staff of the highest calibre with the highest level of local and international qualification and experience. We share the same vision as Eversheds to be committed locally but connected globally and so they are a natural merger partner for us."
Bryan Hughes, Chief Executive of Eversheds LLP said:
"The Middle East continues to be an exciting, dynamic market. Our clients tell us that they need a first class legal product that provides consistent, quality advice across the whole of the Middle Eastern region. We have been looking to establish a region-wide offering for some time and importantly with a firm that is totally aligned to our ambitions and values. KSLG's strong domestic reputation and local knowledge will strengthen Eversheds international offering and will create a progressive corporate legal practice in the Middle East with a strong platform for growth."
Chris Jobson, Managing Partner of the Middle East said:
"We have worked with KSLG for many years. KSLG are client centred, have high calibre lawyers and deliver consistent quality advice. The merger reflects natural evolution and cements a strong and long-standing relationship."The move will see Eversheds' current relationship with Saudi Arabia firm Hani Al Qurashi, which was set up in 2009, continue until the 18th September. The switch is unfortunate given the high quality of both firms, but it is an unavoidable consequence of the wider regional merger.

Warren Buffet, through Berkshire Hathaway and its vast holdings, touches just about every life in the country.
If you doubt it, when you're writing those monthly electric bill checks you're adding to Buffet's billions.
Now the Oracle of Omaha is buying into the auto retailing market.
That could make things more interesting for Lithia Motors, which just closed its deal purchase DCH Auto Group Inc. DCH operates 27 dealerships in Southern California, New Jersey and New York. Combined with its exisiting 101 operations Lithia now has a hand in 128 locations nationwide.
Combined with DCH sales, Lithia Motors is now a $5 billion-plus firm and the eighth-largest U.S. retailer with plenty of upside.
Asked about Buffett's entry into auto retailing, Lithia Chairman Sid DeBoer saw the move as a reassuring pat on the back.
"It confirms what we have known for years," DeBoer said. "Auto retailing is a great business."
Berkshire Thursday agreed to buy Van Tuyl Group, the fifth-largest auto dealership firm with 78 dealerships from California to Florida.
As has been the case with the DeBoer family, Buffett said in a CNBC interview he anticipates plenty of family-owned dealerships are ripe for the picking.

I know, I know. Getting locked into a two-year contract for a Nexus 4 is something that not everyone wants to do, and I don't blame them. But, for those who don't mind two years on T-Mobile, you can get a free Nexus 4 if you order it before Sunday, February 24th. That's a pretty solid deal, because this is one of the best Android phones money can buy. But if you get it for free, money isn't buying it.
OK, Sony may have missed the mark on pricing when it first announced the Xperia Tablet S. At $400 for the 16GB version, it priced the device way out of the market, especially when the Nexus 10 is brought into consideration. Sure, the prices may be the same, but not only does the N10 pack a much higher resolution display, but it also has all the benefits of being a Nexus.
Want An HTC One VX for V-Day, for practically nothing? Then head to AT&T's website or Amazon, depending upon which color you prefer. Both have the device on sale for $.01 with a new or extended contract, but AT&T has the red version, while Amazon has the white. The regular subsidized price from both retailers for the phone is $49.99. I'd go with the white ( it looks a little more snazzy) but there's no accounting for taste.
Last month, we saw Motorola's Droid Razr Maxx HD offered up for $99.99 on Amazon for new accounts only. If you're already a Verizon subscriber who's looking to instead upgrade to the Maxx HD, you're in luck – it looks like Amazon has extended the offer to upgrade customers as well. For reference, Amazon's price puts the phone a full $200 below Verizon's own price.
Just in case you've forgotten, the Droid Razr Maxx HD packs a 4.7" 720x1280 display (that's 312ppi), 8MP camera, dual-core 1.5GHz processor, and 1GB RAM.
If you're in the market for a new smartphone, Verizon's pixel-packing Droid DNA is hard to beat. It offers a whopping 440PPI in its 5" 1920x1080 display, along with a quad-core Qualcomm S4 Pro and 2GB of RAM under the hood. Top all that off with Android 4.1.1, and you have an absolute monster of a phone.
But if you want to get all that and save a bit of cash, Wirefly has your number So long as you're willing to sign a new two-year agreement with Verizon right now, you can grab the DNA for $50.
Tower defense games are great. Tired and done to death, sure, but the good ones are really fantastic. Anomaly Warzone Earth and the sequel Anomaly Korea are two of the better entries in the genre, having the distinguishing factor of playing role reversal. In these, you're not building towers, you're trying to slip past them. Now, both titles are half off on the Play Store, each costing a mere $2.
Normally, each game individually is priced at $4 and now you can get both for the same price.
Attention, husbands and boyfriends: unless your significant other explicitly states that she wants a red Samsung Galaxy Tab for Valentine's Day, do not rely solely on this deal to please her. Add some chocolate, roses, a spa treatment, et cetera to sweeten the pot. That said, this eBay Daily Deal from Adorama is pretty good, if you want a small tablet that isn't the Nexus 7. $179.99 will get you the Garnet Red Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and a matching case, normally a $220 package.
Not much to say on this one - T-Mobile just lowered the price of the 16GB Nexus 4 to $50 as an online-only deal for new subscribers (same old price for upgrades, unfortunately - $199), after a $50 mail-in rebate. That's $100 to buy it today.
This is by far the best deal we've seen on the Nexus 4 to date, beating out the $76 promo price from Let's Talk (which required a more expensive monthly plan, and contains a separate ETF), after the rebate.
If you're in the market for a Nexus 7, don't want to pay full price, and yesterday's 1SaleADay deal left a bad taste in your mouth, eBay might have what you're looking for.
Through eBay's Daily Deals, seller Tiger Direct is offering up refurbished 16GB models for $169.99 shipped. That's about a $30 discount over the Play Store's price (plus shipping).
This might just be one of the better deals we've seen in a while. Lets Talk is offering the Nexus 4 for $85 on a new 2-year T-Mobile contract. Enter the coupon code "TALK4TEN" (no quotes) during checkout and you can knock another $8.50 off that (money's money, right?) for a grand total of $76.50. Not bad!
Existing customers can get the handset for $155 before the coupon code which will take $15.50 off for a total of $140, which isn't too bad of a deal, either.

This seems to be a popular after-Church spot, so be warned if attempting to dine on a Sunday. We waited 20 minutes but the wait was worthwhile.

First time visit while visiting family. Went at about 2:30 pm. Drink orders were taken promptly, but then a longer than usual wait to take our orders. The place was not crowded at all. When our food was served, it was very good. But it did take a while to get it.
Consistent, friendly and always good - Oak Street is definitely our favorite place to grab dinner and drinks in Roswell, GA.
We went to this place for the first time today. You pay before you get your meal. Had I known how bad our food would be and how bad the wait staff would be, I would have not left a tip ahead of time. We shared one sandwich and a cup of potato soup and a side salad, coffee and... More
Oak Street cafe is one of the best kept secrets in Roswell, though that doesn't mean you won't have to wait for a table. Great spot for lunch or dinner.

text: Home > Medical schemes > News 21 August 2013 SA medical service providers overcharging Some medical service providers in South Africa are charging more for services that are on the list of prescribed minimum benefits. 0 iStock Like us on Facebook » Subscribe to the newsletter » Ask CyberDoc » Quiz How long will you live? » Medical history Bacteria gallery Some medical service providers in South Africa are charging more for services that are on the list of prescribed minimum benefits (PMBs). This was the unequivocal finding of Christoff Raath, an actuary and CEO of the Health Monitor Company, who analysed data from a range of healthcare providers. He was speaking at the 14th annual conference of the Board of Healthcare Funders Southern Africa (BHF), that took place this week at the CTICC in Cape Town. Raath looked at charges billed to medical schemes by general surgeons between January 2010 and July 2013 and found that "the spend per life per month on non-PMB services were almost linear", remaining constant in nominal terms throughout this period. Conversely, the costs for services which fell under PMBs increased at an alarming rate over the same time. Raath further showed that four of the ten largest anaesthetist practices in South Africa are explicitly charging more for their services when surgery happens to be classified as a PMB. "The increase in fees by specialists in the face of PMBs may be undesirable, but it is perfectly rational, given the incentives inherent in the system," he said. "If you know that you will be guaranteed payment, no matter how much you charge, wouldn't you charge more?" Draconian applicationAccording to Raath, PMB's are "absolutely necessary" but he takes issue with the draconian way in which they are applied, as well as the lack of consultation about which medications and services should fall under this description. "We don't need a draft amendment bill to address PMBs," he pointed out. "These are regulations. The last time we saw a consultative process on this issue was in 2009 with the PMB Code of Conduct. There hasn't been any progress since then." In his presentation, Raath also turned his attention to the financial results of medical schemes since 2004. If investments are not taken into account, the schemes posted a loss every year from 2005 to 2011, with a R1-billion surplus being recorded last year. Closer analysis showed that the bulk of the surplus was made by mainly two restricted schemes: GEMS and Polmed. In order for a medical scheme to be able to offer a low cost option to its clients, it needs to have a high proportion of young and healthy members within such an option. "Without the young and healthy members, we are seeing the demise of the low cost option," Raath said. Analysis shows, however, that most medical schemes are effectively funded by the "worried healthy" or "worried wealthy" who are prepared to pay generously for their health security – perhaps because these consumers are not fully aware of their PMB and option selection entitlements.

Aspen Square Daily News
Fall season is hereSubmitted by warrenklug on Tue, 09/06/2011 - 09:30
The fall is a favorite time in Aspen, with a slower pace and still so much to see and do. The Saturday Market continues into mid-October, and the Aspen Mountain Gondola takes visitors to the top of Aspen on weekends. The weather is usually warm and sunny during the day and crisp at night. The Aspen trees will be turning color soon enough. The trees will look like those on the right before we know it. It's a great time to visit. Ask about our reduced rates for September, and come see us!
What a race it was!Submitted by warrenklug on Wed, 08/31/2011 - 08:11
It was late August, as racers in the USA Pro Cycling Challenge came fast into Aspen for the finish of the Queen Stage of the USPCC, 128 riders racing 131 miles over two high mountain passes from Gunnison to Aspen. As the bike racers came over Indepencence Pass, they were cheered on by thousands of race fans up on the summit, at over 12,000 feet. Crowds in town were even bigger, welcoming the riders to the finish on Main Street in front of the Court House. It was an exciting, fun and action-filled event for Aspen, and a good time was had by all! We can't wait until next year!

Lupe Fiasco featuring Ty Dolla $ign – $nitches
While we wait for more from Lupe Fiasco's fifth studio effort Tetsuo & Youth, we get treated to a new single titled "$nitches" featuring Ty Dolla $ign. Taking to his Twitter for the release, the track features Ty on production and vocals while Lupe shares his thoughts on snitching over a laidback, club-friendly instrumental. No word as to whether this will end up on Lupe's forthcoming album, but in the meantime enjoy the track and stay tuned for more from Tetsuo & Youth.
