Protesters hit Walmart, Macy's on Black Friday
As shoppers hit the stores in search of Black Friday deals, workers at Walmart stores in several states hit the streets to protest working conditions.
Labor groups joined groups of Walmart employees who are complaining about low wages and a lack of benefits. They also claim that the largest retailer in the world shows a pattern of retaliating against workers who try to organize.
The Walmart in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood was relatively quiet outside Friday morning, but then two buses full of protesters arrived. The group called "Our Walmart" came dressed in neon green shirts. They included at least one Chatham Walmart employee.
The protesters say they don't earn enough money to make ends meet since they earn about $11 per hour and are scheduled less than 40 hours per week.
They also claim the company retaliates against workers who complain about their conditions.
"They retaliate by black listing us, telling other associates not to associate with us, shortening our working hours, all the way up to termination," said employee Charmaine Gibens Thomas.
"At no time would we ever retaliate against any associate," said Walmart Operations Manager Jack Williams. "Our associates have the right to speak out when they're concerned, and we love to hear those things. We want to hear from them whenever they have a concern and address those things."
The "Our Walmart" protest left the Chatham location about two hours after it showed up.
According to a statement from Walmart, the pro-union protests had no affect on sales and it drew fewer than 50 of their employees nationwide. They claim their specials drew about 22 million customers to its stores.
Protesters also infiltrated Macy's on State Street Friday, startling store security and holiday shoppers. Members of Stand Up Chicago were demanding higher wages for retail workers.
"We're making our presence known because this is something that affects our livelihood every single day," said Macy's employee and protester Sartoria Briggs.Copyright © 2014, Chicago Tribune

According to a former hit song that's relegated mostly to karaoke bars these days, the world appears blue and green and full of harmony when viewed from a distance. But Choire Sicha's Very Recent History reminds us that it can look pretty screwed-up, too. Sicha followed a group of twentysomething gay men around New York City throughout 2009 for this compelling portrait of a city and its residents during one of the worst financial crises in history.
His detached prose, which at times reads like fiction, makes that year feel more absurd than any of us might remember. The narrator describes ''the City'' its unnamed billionaire mayor, its financial structure and health-care systems as well as sex, love, Facebook, and everything else as if we're hearing about them for the first time. It's an unusual convention but it works, conjuring a fresh look at a seemingly distant world that is actually our own.
Similarly, Sicha doesn't dwell on his subjects' histories (or always use their real names). He writes about their everyday lives gossiping, barhopping, texting, slutting around as they fight to keep jobs and pay mounting bills. Sometimes the men seem indifferent to others, but Sicha doesn't apologize for them: ''You can be adjacent to other people's misery, but misery had to be right on top of you for it to matter.''
In one resonant passage, History puts the worst days of 2009 and these men's trivial pursuits into perspective by discussing a tragedy that first struck the City 28 years earlier. Though Sicha does not identify that tragedy, he is clearly talking about the victims of AIDS: ''These were people who [today] would have been coworkers, mentors, bosses, owners, millionaires, subway workers, neighbors, guys to pick up at bars.... But they weren't there.'' Sicha's method here is microscopic, but his message is universal: Living can be the best way to cope with life. A-

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The Tim Hortons chain was founded in 1964 in Hamilton, Ontario. The chain's focus on top quality, always fresh product, value, great service and community leadership has allowed it to grow into the largest quick service restaurant chain in Canada specializing in always fresh coffee, baked goods and homestyle lunches.
The first Tim Hortons restaurants offered only two products - coffee and donuts. The selection of donuts to enjoy was highlighted by two original Tim Hortons creations, the Apple Fritter and the Dutchie. They became the most popular donut choices in the 60's, and remain two of the most popular today.
But as consumer tastes grew, so did the choices at Tim Hortons. The biggest change in the chain's product focus took place in 1976 with the introduction of the phenomenally successful Timbit (bite-sized donut hole), today available in over 35 different varieties. The chain's growth into the 1980's brought about a whole series of new product introductions: muffins (1981), cakes (1981), pies (1982), croissants (1983), cookies (1984), and soups & chili (1985). Sandwiches, which were originally introduced in 1993, were re-introduced as a new and improved line-up of 6 varieties, called "Tim's Own", in 1998. Also, in the 1990's, bagels (1996), flavored cappuccino (1997), Café Mocha (1999) and Iced Cappuccino (1999) were introduced. In 2003, the Turkey Bacon Club sandwich and Maple Pecan Danish were successful menu additions. In 2005 Tim Hortons introduced, Yogurt & Berries, Cinnamon Roll and Hot Smoothee to the menu. Many new great products were added to the menu in 2006 such as the Chicken Salad Wrap and the hot Breakfast Sandwich (eggs, sausage or bacon, processed cheese on a toasted homestyle biscuit).
The chain's biggest drawing card remains its legendary Tim Hortons coffee. The special blend is also available in cans, as are Tim Hortons hot chocolate and English Toffee and French Vanilla cappuccinos, so guests can also enjoy these great tasting products at home.
In addition to our regular stand alone restaurants, Tim Hortons locations can also be found in shopping malls, highway outlets, universities and hospitals, providing prominent visibility for the chain. Most standard Tim Hortons locations offer 24-hour drive-thru service, catering to consumers on the go. Combo unit locations, which house both a Tim Hortons and Wendy's, offer guests the convenience of both restaurants under one roof.
In 1995, Tim Hortons merged with Wendy's International, Inc., giving new focus and impetus to the expansion of the Tim Hortons concept in the United States. Tim Hortons locations can presently be found in Michigan, Maine, Connecticut, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New York, with responsible expansion continuing in these core markets. The Canadian operation is 95% franchise owned and operated, and plans in the U.S. call for the same key strategy to be implemented as expansion progresses. Currently, there are more than 3,000 restaurants across Canada, and over 600 locations in the United States.
In March 2006, Tim Hortons completed an initial public offering of the company and was fully spun off as a separate company as of September 29, 2006. Tim Hortons trades on the NYSE and TSX (THI).

Few could have imagined that a 1,500 square foot coffee and donut shop opened in Hamilton, Ontario in 1964 would become the launching pad for a giant Canadian chain.

1974 - Tim Horton is killed in a tragic accident
In February 1974, Tim Horton died in a tragic car accident. Ron Joyce established the Tim Horton Children's Foundation that year in honour of Tim's love for children and desire to help those less fortunate. In 1975, Ron Joyce became sole owner of the chain which then consisted of 40 restaurants. He built a formula for success by focusing on "always fresh" product and outstanding service.
1976 - Introduction of Timbits®
As consumer tastes grew, so did the menu choices in the Tim Hortons restaurants. In 1976, the popular Timbit, a bite-sized treat was introduced. Over the next several years, items like muffins, cakes, pies, croissants, soups and chili were added to the menu.
1987 - Restaurant 300 opens in Calgary, Alberta
The 300th restaurant in the Tim Hortons chain opened in Calgary, Alberta in February 1987.

The Canadian operation is 95% franchise owned and operated, and plans in the U.S. call for the same key strategy to be implemented as expansion progresses.

1996 - Introduction of Bagels

When Wine Spectator columnist Matt Kramer introduced this seminar, he explained to the audience that the title, "Subtle Australia," was not meant to be ironic—despite the commonly held perception that Australian wines are big and sometimes overpowering. Rather, he said, it is precisely this image that the country's winemakers need to overcome, because there is another style of Australian wine, an alluring one that most consumers never taste.

Close Encounters With Humpback Whales and Orcas
This is part of a series of posts about our Pacific Hotspots expedition. Today's highlights: humpback whales and orcas!
California Leg, Day 3
Yesterday was a spectacular day as we saw some of the most colorful and rich habitats we've seen yet! The objective was to gather footage from some of the more spectacular areas of pinnacles and rocky reefs that we started to explore last year.
At the outer edge of the Monterey Peninsula, just off Pebble Beach, is a spectacular reef that we explored last year. While golfers marveled at the sites from the world famous course on shore, we marveled at the wildlife above and below the ocean offshore.
We brought several guests with us including a representative from Mission Blue, another organization focusing on ocean exploration and conservation. The weather was sunny and warm, however a medium-sized southerly swell made the ride a bit bumpy and our cable operators got soaked.
The Carmel Pinnacles were protected as a marine reserve in 2008. This combination of rocky reef at the edge of a steep canyon wall that drops thousands of feet provides a rich feeding ground, as nutrient-rich water is pulled up from the deep through a process called upwelling.
As we set our ROV equipment up for the first dive, we saw two large humpback whales swimming right by our boat. We explored a depth range of 90-150 feet. The habitat was composed of large pinnacles and boulders, jutting out of a sandy seabed. Nestled in the cracks and crevices were china rockfish, gopher rockfish, and treefish, while we encountered several schools of black rockfish hovering at the tops of the reefs.

Guest Post: My Orca Summer
We are now accepting nominations for our third annual Ocean Heroes Contest! Today we're featuring a guest post by 2009 finalist Emily Goldstein about her summer trip to the OrcaLab in British Columbia.
Last summer I was privileged to be able to spend eight weeks studying one of the most remarkable species in our world, the orca. I want to share with you the amazing journey I had, and tell you about my time with the orcas.
Snuggled in the inside passage between British Columbia and Vancouver Island, there is a small isle called Hanson Island. This is the home of magnificent bald eagles, playful mink, and an emerald-green evergreen forest. It is also the home of a land-based research station called OrcaLab, which was founded by Dr. Paul Spong in 1970.

Whale Wednesday: Shark vs. Orca
Some consider the great white shark to be the fiercest predator in the ocean. Now Free Willy is giving the species a run for its money. Orca whales' diet traditionally includes fish, squid, birds, seals, and other whales. Now some are adding Jaws to the menu.
Several populations of orca whales have learned how to attack sharks, including the great white, with various techniques, including what some scientists are calling the "karate chop." To execute this sly move, the orca drives the shark to the surface, then comes down on top of the shark and turns it upside down, at which point it enters a paralyzed state. In fact, all the attack methods ultimately end with the shark on its back.
If you want more, watch this recent video of one such showdown.

If you want to accomplish something in the world, idealism is not enough you need to choose a method that works to achieve the goal.Richard Stallman
You may think your actions are meaningless and that they won't help, but that is no excuse, you must still act.Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.Kahlil Gibran
The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear.Aung San Suu Kyi
The first duty of a revolutionary is to get away with it.Abbie Hoffman
Patriotism ... is a superstition artificially created and maintained through a network of lies and falsehoods; a superstition that robs man of his self-respect and dignity, and increases his arrogance and conceit.Emma Goldman
Prayer is meaningless unless it is subversive, unless it seeks to overthrow and to ruin the pyramids of callousness, hatred, opportunism, falsehoods. The liturgical movement must become a revolutionary movement, seeking to overthrow the forces that continue to destroy the promise, the hope, the vision.Abraham Joshua Heschel
Words and thoughts concerning compassionate action that are not put into practice are like beautiful flowers that are colorful but have no fragrance.Thich Nhat Hanh
My activism really is for myself, because I see places in the world where I feel I should be. If there is something really bad, really evil, happening somewhere, then that is where I should be. I need, for myself, to feel that I have stood there. It feels a lot better than just watching it on television.Alice Walker
I've always had the impression that real militants are like cleaning women, doing a thankless, daily but necessary job.Francois Truffaut
No great movement designed to change the world can bear to be laughed at or belittled. Mockery is a rust that corrodes all it touches.Milan Kundera

People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.Unknown
The short lesson that comes out of long experience in political agitation is something like this: all the motive power in all of these movements is the instinct of religious feeling. All the obstruction comes from attempting to rely on anything else. Conciliation is the enemy.John Jay Chapman
Agitators are a set of interfering, meddling people, who come down to some perfectly contented class of the community and sow the seeds of discontent amongst them. That is the reason why agitators are so absolutely necessary. Without them, in our incomplete state, there would be no advance towards civilisation.Oscar Wilde
All movements go too far.Bertrand Russell
Bring on your tear gas, bring on your grenades, your new supplies of Mace, your state troopers and even your national guards. But let the record show we ain't going to be turned around.Ralph David Abernathy
Consciously or unconsciously, everyone of us does render some service or another. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large.Mohandas K. Gandhi
Never has man reached his destination by persistence in deviation from the straight path.Mohandas K. Gandhi

Joanna, I will try to check out Lupus Lemon-aid soon. I'm in a frenzy, worried that I'll never get everything done for my India departure!
My mother was diagnosed with lupus many years ago, took an injection of methotrexate weekly, I think but, since her stroke and admission to extended care, I don't believe she has gotten any of that. I'll have to have my brother check.
You're the best, you know!

Atwood, Margaret
|Short Story (18 pp.)
|Abortion, Disease and Health, Freedom, Grief, Individuality, Loneliness, Love, Mourning, Narrative as Method, Ordinary Life, Patient Experience, Power Relations, Psycho-social Medicine, Rebellion, Sexuality, Society, Surgery, Women's Health
This well crafted story concerns a contemporary woman in her thirties who undergoes significant personal losses; in fact, she seems to lose or lack an identity. Over the years, Kat, an "avant garde" fashion photographer, has altered her image, even her name, to suit the situation and the times. She has had two abortions and "learned to say that she didn't want children anyway."
The story begins when Kat undergoes surgical removal of a rare and peculiar ovarian tumor containing hair, teeth, bones (the clinical term is a dermoid cyst ); Kat dubs it "hairball " and stores it in formaldehyde on her mantelpiece. We learn that Kat's relationship with her married lover is going sour, that he will replace her as creative director at work. She fantasizes that she has given birth to "hairball" who she sees as the "warped child" of their failed relationship. Physical symptoms accompany Kat's growing emotional confusion. Hairball becomes the vehicle for an ultimate bizarre act reflecting Kat's personality disintegration. She has gone from being Katherine to Kath to Kat, to K, to being "temporarily without a name."
|This story addresses the emptiness and superficiality that is pervasive in some segments of contemporary Western culture, and particularly it addresses the impact of the culture on the modern woman--the woman of the eighties and nineties. The narrative tone is almost satiric and masterfully reflects the lifestyle portrayed. The piece shows how women may subvert their own needs and best interests by the way in which they interact with men. Further, the story reminds us that abortion and surgery on reproductive organs can never be taken lightly, by patient or by physician. The implications, even when not consciously acknowledged, may be profound.

The dazzling new novel in the #1 New York Times best-selling series from the grand master of adventure.
It is called zero point energy, and it really exists - a state of energy contained in all matter everywhere, and thus all but unlimited. Nobody has ever found a way to tap into it, however - until one scientist discovers a way.
Or at least he thinks he has. The problem is, his machines also cause great earthquakes, even fissures in tectonic plates. One machine is buried deep underground; the other is submerged in a vast ocean trench. If Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala and the rest of the NUMA team aren't able to find and destroy them, and soon, the world will be on the threshold of a new era of earth tremors and unchecked volcanism.
Now, that can't be good.
©2013 Clive Cussler & Graham Brown (P)2013 Penguin Audio
Myst/thrillers and ✨fun fantasies✨are my favorites but always open for a good story.
"My first Clive on Audible"
Kurt Austin, a likable, resourceful action hero and his dependable, quipster partner, Joe Zavala, both work for NUMA and are used to being in the thick of things. While the duo are supposed to be on vacation, they get drawn into an unexpected, haphazard chase of a diabolical scientist "Thero". The US, and Australia both rejected his radical theories of creating, zero point energy because of the horrific global side affects of its use. Years after he was thought to have been killed by the Russians, the maniacal Thero, resurfaces with fully developed zero point energy and a plot of revenge against the countries that slighted him. The Russians are trying to find and destroy it at any cost because of the "Free energy" aspect. Kurt and Joe are trying to find Thero and disable his device before he uses it to destroy Australia.
I have not read anything by CC in quite a while. I had always loved his stories with, Dirk, Al and all of the old gang, they were my favorites for years. Listening to Zero Hour reminded me how great CC's expert flair in the fast action/thriller genre is. The pace of this non stop adventure makes this an exciting, high speed listen. Scott Brick does a great job with all of the characters voices, and I now understand why the reviewers are attached to the excellent pairing of CC and Brick. I enjoyed it and would recommend.
"Thrill after Thrill"
Another great thrilling adventure from Cussler and Brown. This was very close to home as I love in Australia, narrator Scott Brick accents Aussie accents were quite funny, in all he gave a good performance, I think I'm getting used to him now. Well worth the credit is you are a lover of Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala and the NUMA team. There was only one thing missing in all of his books Clive Cussler himself appears somewhere only a short line but there, he wasn't shame that always brings a smile to my face when he makes an appearance.
"An Australian Focus"
This is an enjoyable Cussler novel with some interesting settings in Sydney and Alice Springs. It moves along at a good pace, with some interesting twists and turns.
sports announcer, cyclist, enjoys to travel and the outdoors.
"Cussler as usual"
If your a Cussler, Numa, Kurt Austin and Dirk Pitt fan then this book is for you. I love Cussler and the NUMA stories. On a scale of 10 Id give it an 8. Go for it!
"Typical Cussler"
Good book, but it is so projected as most of Cussler's are you know what the end will be.
Non stop action, good story, very good
"Ending too short"
Yes great Kurt austn adventure
Yes until the end
All, I have not listened to him narrate before and was blown away. He made the story come to life, each character distinct.
I love a good book
"What a Ride!"
I've read many Clive Cussler books and this one didn't disappoint. A thrilling ride right to the end. Scott Brick is exceptional, again. His voices make the characters come alive.
Kurt Austin is a great character and so was Joe.
Scott Brick is phenomenal. He even managed to impersonate a character with a burned out voice box. Incredible. Even the female voices are believable.
Keep it Zero Hour.
A great read. Thanks.
"Cussler strikes again"
I have never been disappointed when reading Cussler, from the first book, Mediteranian Caper, all the way thru his vast collection, he holds your interest. I have been found by my wife, sitting in the driveway after arriving home from work, still listening, not wanting to turn it off till the chapter ends. Way to go Clive!!!
Can't choose just one.... They all roll together into one fantastic tale!
Dick Hill has an amazing voice, but the first book I listened to that Scott Brick narrated, I realized that he was made to read Cussler.... Awesome!
The zero energy premise is interesting, but the story was really predictable. Still a satisfying listen.
Scott Brick does great with all the characters.

Nearby standoff ends with arrest
The Herald Staff | 12/11/2013
OVERBROOK — A task force made up of members of the Osage County Sheriff's Office and several other law enforcement agencies took a convicted felon into custody after a nearly seven-hour standoff Tuesday in Overbrook.
Thomas Kent, 39, Topeka, refused to exit his apartment on Ash Street in Overbrook when approached by law enforcement officers about 1 p.m. Tuesday, Laurie Dunn, Osage County sheriff, said in a news release.
The neighborhood was sealed off to keep residents, including children walking home from school, at a safe distance from the scene, Dunn said.
When law agencies arrived, Linda Woods, 32, Topeka, fled the apartment and was arrested on three Shawnee County felony warrants, the release said. Shawnee County deputies, as well as officers with the U.S. Marshal's Office, U.S. Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, Overbrook Police Department and Kansas Highway Patrol participated in the raid, the release said.
Numerous attempts to engage Kent in a dialogue and get him to exit the apartment met with no success, Dunn said. Officers forced their way into the apartment and arrested Kent at 7:52 p.m. without further incident, the release said.
Kent was arrested on a Shawnee County warrant for failure to appear at his sentencing on a felony aggravated weapons conviction, the release said. After his arrest, officers found weapons and ammunition in Kent's apartment, the release said.

With its first Airbus A380 superjumbo
now flying between Dubai and the US, Emirates
recently unveiled a series of new initiatives to improve the
environmental performance of its operations worldwide. The program,
branded Emvironment, includes the adoption of a new environmental
policy for the Emirates Group, a global staff awareness campaign,
and internal goals to reduce energy consumption and waste, as well
as increase recycling and training.
Emirates has also launched a new section on its website that
features information on the Group's management of environmental
issues. The site -- at the FMI link below -- outlines Emirates'
environmental policies, the eco-efficiency of the A380 and wider
fleet, the airline's conservation-based resort projects, efforts
currently in practice across the Group, and information on flight
operations that positively impact fuel and emission
"Emirates is committed to acting responsibly and sustainably in
the interests of our customers, our business, the environment and
the 100-plus destinations we serve worldwide," said Sheikh Ahmed
bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Emirates Chairman and CEO. "Our environmental
commitment began well before it was considered fashionable, when we
sponsored the creation of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve in
Emvironment will focus on reducing already low levels of per
passenger fuel-burn and emissions and driving eco-efficiency
throughout the organization by reducing, recycling and reusing
Al-Maktoum adds Emirates is investing billions of dollars in new
aircraft that are fuel efficient, and enviromentally responsible.
The biggest (literally) example of Emirates' plan is the A380,
billed as the most enviromentally-friendly airliner on the planet
on a per-passenger basis.
"Emvironment's aim is to make our
organization as sustainable as possible and we intend to keep our
stakeholders regularly informed on progress and future
initiatives," he said.
Emirates invests heavily in new research and technologies to
address the world's environmental challenges. For example, the
airline helped to pioneer Flextrack with Airservices Australia to
use onboard navigational technology that saves time, fuel and
emissions. Kitchens at Emirates Flight Catering are among the most
eco-efficient in the world and recycle over 110 tons of paper,
plastic and aluminum a month.
Next year, Emirates will open one of the world's most
environmentally ambitious conservation resorts, the 4000-acre
Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa in the Blue Mountains in Australia.
The project involves restoring vast tracks of distressed farming
land back to its native state and reintroducing endangered fauna
and flora. The US $69 million resort will only occupy about one
percent of the total land mass.

Updated Mon, Feb 08, 2010 by Space Junkie
EVE Online has had a heck of a year. Two huge free expansions, a new system for taking and controlling territory, the announcement of DUST 514 to be interlinked first-person shooter in the same shared game world, and ever higher subscription counts. A good year, right?
Unlike a lot of new MMOs, that briefly flare up before users move on to the next game, EVE Online has been growing steadily. This is not especially easy for a spaceship game that doesn't have a huge branding franchise to fall back onto.
This column takes a look at what happened during the past year, what CCP has done to make EVE Online so successful, and then I make some predictions about what to expect during 2010.
Changes To The Game
Some amazing changes came in March, with the Apocrypha expansion, especially for newer players. The most important change for new players was the addition of attribute re-allocation, which means that an informed player can more quickly specialize in advanced game roles like flying sniping battleships or capitals. The skill requirements for tech three strategic cruisers are also fairly low, meaning that if a newer player is financially successful (or sells PLEX cards) he can use the most advanced ships in the game with relative ease. Scanning was also changed to be easier to use, and the wormholes that were added with this patch make the perfect proving ground for a small corporation that doesn't want to compete with null-sec alliances with bottomless budgets.
Older players reaped the benefits of newly improved ship fitting screens, and the faster influx of players into the end-game of EVE. They also thrilled to fight the Sleeper Drones, dangerous NPCs living in wormhole space that made use of a newly polished artificial intelligence system to act more like human PVPers. Of course, many older players cruise wormhole space looking for players taking advantage of the above, and ganking them.
On the first of December, everything changed. The entire sovereignty system, the means by which alliances conquer and control space, was re-structured to be based around TCU structures instead of starbase grinds. Additionally, changes to the ingredients used to make tech two components were modified in such a way as to make the high-end moon materials less valuable. Alliances have been fighting over these moons for years, and the profits from them were so rich that they could easily pay for any capital ship losses suffered during the course of defending those moons. Cynosural jammer structures and titan doomsdays gave an overwhelming advantage to alliances defending their home territory, as well, until they were removed in this patch. All of these changes have combined to throw the end-game of EVE into chaos.
Alliances are still trying to find their feet amidst shrinking space and budgets, and newly valuable Technetium moons. It is this re-valuation of null-sec space, rather than any mechanical change, that will result in changes to alliance politics.
The low time variance on stations coming out of "reinforced mode" gives non-European alliances a certain convenience advantage over others. It is possible that, over time, we will see more US-based alliances taking and controlling space in the almost entirely European and Russian dominated end-game. That would be a welcome development in my opinion, because despite nearly 40% of EVE Online's player base living in the United States, those players are vastly under-represented in null-sec. They are particularly lacking at the leadership level. Some of that may be cultural biases inherent in the game, but more likely it is that European players entered the game sooner and have more inclination to form corporations and alliances around national identity. We'll see.
For older and newer players, the "fleet finder" is a godsend. No more futzing about in intel channels or alliance mails for fleet information. With just a couple clicks, any open fleets are listed, and ready to be joined. This means that there is more on-demand PVP, something that EVE often lacks.
For the end-game players that aren't leading alliances based on high-end moons, the changes are largely good. Lower-level moons are increasing in value, meaning that player labor used to react moon minerals is more valuable, even if the dysprosium mining POS aren't as profitable. Tech two prices are largely trending downwards, as well. Pirate battleships, largely used by elite players, were also rebalanced, largely in their favor.
Finally, though CCP has not financially incentivized running cosmic anomalies (and some CCP staff statements indicate a contradictory understanding about why this is necessary) there have been indications that they will do so in the future, rendering null-sec space more profitable for the individual to defend live in.

Most of us believe that how much we eat is mainly determined by how hungry we are, how much we like the food, or what mood we are in at the time of eating or food selection. While we might acknowledge that others could be influenced by colorful food packages, special lighting, or the size of the plate, we all think we are too smart to be swayed by such gimmicks. But that's where we're wrong.
Every single one of us eats what and how much we eat not because of hunger but largely because of what is around us. We eat the way we do because of family and friends, packages and plates, names and numbers, labels and lights, colors and candles, shapes and smells, distractions and distances, cupboards and containers. Dozens of studies confirm this, yet most of us remain unaware of the power of these influences.
That is what makes them so dangerous. We are almost never aware of why we're eating particular foods or eating them in larger amounts than we may really desire. But by knowing what to look out for, we can head off overeating before we start. This article explores some of the hidden influences that can trip up anyone's eating habits.
Size matters
The size of a serving bowl can't possibly influence how much an intelligent, informed person eats, can it? A study conducted at the University of Illinois suggests that it can.
A group of graduate students in a very competitive MBA program at the University of Illinois were brought together and lectured for more than an hour about how bigger bowls could cause them to eat more than they otherwise would. Six weeks later, 40 of them were invited to a Super Bowl party at a sports bar. While they knew they were there as part of a study, they thought the study was related to commercials broadcast during the Super Bowl.
When the students entered the party locale, they were divided equally into two separate rooms. In one room, the group was presented with two four-quart bowls of Chex Mix and offered a snack. Each person was given a plate and told to take as much as he wanted. Each plate was then weighed on a hidden scale, and the student continued on to the Super Bowl party.
In the other room, the same amount of Chex Mix was served in four two-quart bowls. The same thing happened: The students served themselves snacks, and the snack plates were weighed without their knowledge.
The bowls of food were then removed so that no one could take a second helping, and an hour later the researchers collected the plates to see how much had been eaten. They found that the people who had served themselves out of the four-quart bowls took 55% more Chex Mix than those who served themselves out of the two-quart bowls.
However, when the students were informed of this, most did not believe it. A typical response was along the lines of, "Not me. Maybe it happens to other people, but certainly not me." A write-up of this study was published in The Journal of the American Medical Association in April 2005.
While eating a big portion of Chex Mix may be understandable since it tastes so good, it's harder to believe that a big container would lead people to eat more of a food they didn't like, but it does. This was demonstrated in a study conducted in a movie theater in a suburb of Chicago. A group of people who had come to watch the movie Payback, starring Mel Gibson, were offered free popcorn and a free drink if they would agree to answer some questions about the concessions and about the movie after the movie ended. As a pretext for the study, the researchers told the subjects, "It is Illinois History Month and so, because of this fact, we are raising awareness."
Each person was given either a large bucket of popcorn, weighing about 120 grams, or an extra-large bucket, weighing about twice that much. Half the people were given fresh popcorn that had just been popped that day, and the other half were given popcorn that was 14 days old and, by most standards, tasted terrible.

Botox is More Versatile Than You Might Know
Most people know how well Botox® injections work to improve frown lines between the brows, forehead lines and crow's feet by blocking nerve impulses to the muscles and decreasing muscle activity. Dr. Dale Isaacson suggests that Botox can also be used to improve lower eyelid wrinkles, to make your eyes look more open, to improve your smile and to turn up the corners of your mouth. It has also been used successfully to improve dimpling of the chin, to soften prominent bands in the neck, and to lift the jowls in addition to reducing oiliness in the face and improving acne.
Plagued by excessive underarm sweating? Botox can help with that also. It's incredibly versatile.

Kroger Boosts Private Label Promotions
Kroger took advantage of its ad circular space last week by increasing its private label promotions, according to research done exclusively for PLBuyer's eReport by Chicago-based market research firm Market Track.
Market Track data showed Kroger boosted private label promotions by 41.9 percent last week from the same time a year ago, one of six gainers among the 15 retailers followed by Market Data. Publix also showed gains with 26.4 percent more promotions than last year.
Target (-45.9 percent) and Rite-Aid (-40.5 percent) were among the nine retailers who had fewer private label promotions last week than they did a year ago.
Market Track's analysis reflects regional versioning and market specific differences in circulars. This is accomplished through an extensive collections process, including physically obtaining the ads from the various markets in which they are distributed. In instances where retailers send additional circulars to a limited number of markets, Market Track's information reflects these nuances to give a view of what is happening nationally.
