China's Internet Giants Vie to Win Income From Mobile Games
TAIPEI (TheStreet) -- The next wave of tools to bash sugary little blobs in Candy Crush Saga could really start costing smartphone users in China. Obsessed gamers might feel sideswiped by the gradual accumulation of charges, once they pause play long enough to notice. But China's top mobile Internet providers will experience a burst of sweetness.
Tencent (TCTZF), Baidu (BIDU) and a few mid-cap peers in Chinese Internet space are moving to rely on this gradual accumulation of charges to monetize mobile games as a core second revenue stream after advertising, industry watchers say.
Providers who sell games through social messaging services or other convenient, user-friendly mobile means should score the most serious money. Investors who sell popular game apps to China's smartphone users stand to earn a few chocolate gold coins, as well.
The country's middle-class, particularly its younger urban male population, already forms a willing, passionate consumer base for these pay-to-play schemes. Such schemes are evolving in the West and elsewhere -- still without a clearly defined leading strategy.Developers and mobile content providers would offer that market segment a free starter version of popular games such as UK-based King's Candy Crush Saga or World of Warcraft by Activision Blizzard's (ATVI) Blizzard Entertainment in the United States. Higher levels of the game or special tools for raising scores would come at incrementally higher prices noticeable to users only in the long term. "There are a few hundred levels of Candy Crush, for example, so if you pay a few dollars a small amount you can get special powers to crush more of the candy basically," says Eric Harwit, tech-specialized Asian studies professor at the University of Hawaii. "It's like death by a thousand slices. You don't realize how much you're paying for the games. Then it's an economy of scale."

mankybamAlmost there!
I've done this, but I'm not done doing them! When I was home alone over Chrimstas I went on a sewing spree and I took a sleeping bag that had been torn up by the dryer drum and some sheets that had holes and chocolate sauce stains on them (ice cream sundaes in bed!) and made a patchwork quilt. It's heavy, and warm, and I love it. But I think it needs more "quilting" because the sleeping bag inside slips around, so, I'm going to do that before I mark this one as "done" 3 years ago

Dr. Lam,
Three months ago, I had TCA CROSS to two icepick scars by a doctor in a respected hospital. 1 on my nostril, and another on my cheek. That was a huge mistake. The acid ended up wicking in my skin and spreading out beyond the boundaries of the original scar. Now I have deeper, wider atrophic scarring along with brown post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Of course, the regret has been haunting me ever since. I am an asian, so I am scared of anything involving laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, or anything that will cause permanent discoloration or worse scarring. I realize that the nostril is extremely complicated, but would excision be an appropriate option for these two spots? I am hoping it would be procedurally comparable to mole removal. I also realize that I would have to wait 6 months to a year before any serious treatment, but I need a tangible course of action. Thanks in advance.

Strawberry Rhubarb Banana Oatmeal Cups
Even though I am currently a lady of leisure, I have somehow managed to jam pack my weekly schedule. Fortunately, this schedule consists of mostly things I want to do. Though I'm quickly realizing how easy it is to prioritize these fun activities over some of the basic chores I should be doing on a daily basis. But, there are justifications for every activity:
Memorial Day Pancakes & Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce
Last year during Memorial Day weekend, we were in the Big Apple for the National Skeeball Championship. Yep, you read that right; my friends and I play in a skeeball league. Anyways, at said skeeball championship, we were already talking about next Memorial Day's plans which included a fellow national skeeballer's wedding in Monterey.

Our inner uninhibited adventurers are often in conflict with our inner Miss Manners, which is why we got a kick out of Matbo's comment about the recent Confession "7 Reasons to Love Hotel Sex":
Oh the germs, the germs!
Also I'm all for being loud in bed, but don't exagerate ("won't someone please think of the children!")…awkward being ten and sharing a hotel room with your parents and listening to the sex-noises from the other room. Yeah, just please. So be naturally loud, but no testing your limits!
Wouldn't it be nice if we were just always nice and mindful of others. Also germs. Don't do it on the table. You are the reason I bring ethanol and hand sanitizers everywhere.

This Is How You Get To A Twins Game [VIDEO]

The All Star game is on July 15th in Minneapolis at Target Field.
If you find yourself with a free weekend this summer and you're looking for a quick and fun getaway, one suggestion I have is St. Paul and Minneapolis. Of course, as a life long Minnesotan, I've been there many times but I'm still finding new things to do.
We had a great time yesterday afternoon cheering on our Minnesota Twins and hanging out with a few lucky 'Mix Insiders.'
Here's a list of 10 things every Twins Fan should bring to a the 'Home Opener' this afternoon.
My family and I made our first visit to Target Field home of the Minnesota Twins this past Sunday afternoon. I'm a HUGE baseball fanatic and can't believe its taken almost two years for us to visit this beautiful stadium in downtown Minneapolis.
Minnesota Twins fans didn't mind the cold too much. They were at Target Field Monday for the earliest -- and maybe the chilliest -- Home Opener in club history. Alas, the Twins lost the opener, 4-2 to the Detroit Tigers.
The Twins Winter Caravan brought approximately 200 fans to Rivers Edge Convention Center in downtown St. Cloud. Twins relief pitchers Glen Perkins and Brian Duensing met fans, signed autographs and fielded questions.
The Twins Winter Caravan will be in St. Cloud tonight (Tuesday) at Rivers Edge Convention Center in downtown St. Cloud at 6:30, doors open at 5:00.
With the 2012 Twins Season kicking off tomorrow afternoon in Baltimore, I am getting Twins fever! Season Home opener is Monday night against Los Angeles Angels. Baseball is my favorite sport to watch! And yes, I watch more than just their booties during the game!
The Twins Winter Caravan stopped in St. Cloud Wednesday night at Rivers Edge Convention Center. Current Twins players Denard Span, Ben Revere and Rene Tosoni were here along with former Twin Tony Oliva, broadcaster Dick Bremer and mascot T

Rajon Rondo confirms overseas interest as package deal with Kendrick Perkins
Rajon Rondo confirmed reports that he and Kendrick Perkins could team up overseas, and Paul Pierce admitted that he has considered taking his talents abroad. But the two Celtics aren't ready to make a move… at least for another month or two. (ESPN, via Zach Lowe)
"I've been thinking about it," Pierce said. "I love the game of basketball. It definitely crossed my mind. I may think more about it in December if it looks like we're not playing."
Rondo and Perkins agreed.
"Me and Perk have talked about package deals," Rondo said. "But I won't make that decision until probably January."
I'd really love to write about actual basketball one of these days.
2 Responses to "Rajon Rondo confirms overseas interest as package deal with Kendrick Perkins"
What I thought was interesting was that Rondo admitted that he had gotten no offers from abroad. Think about that. This kid is one of the best players in the NBA and it seems that no one is interested.
Hell, you'd think Rondo would get a clue, but I don't know. That stubborn streak seems to be taking over. YOU NEED TO LEARN TO SHOOT A LITTLE, RONDO.
When you have every basketball fan in America saying "I can shoot better than that guy," and you're 'that guy', then maybe rather than thinking about going to europe to play, you ought to be thinking about working every damn day on your 'j' until you at least have a respectable one.
We've seen player who coke'd themselves out of NBA careers. We've seen players who were too disinterested to have NBA careers. We've seen players who ate themselves out of NBA careers. We've seen players who lazed themselves out of NBA careers, or who weren't smart enough to make it, but here is a weird case. Rondo is one of the hardest working, most motivated, smartest, most talented, most visionary NBA players we've ever seen, and he's working on stubborning himself out of stardom and out of a career altogether.
I'm sorry, but I'm starting to lose patience. If he and Perkins don't care enough to realize that they need to work on their offensive skills a lot more than they need a few euros, then I don't give a damn about either of them anymore.
Like or Dislike: 0 0
Paul, i think if Rondo goes overseas it will be the best way to work on his shot… That might be the best thing for him.. He can shoot all night without the worry of the media coverage of the NBA.. who cares if he goes 0-20 from the field overseas? It's better than taking jump shots in an empty gym

Ricoh Aficio SP C220N Color Laser Printer: Price and Features
The last time we purchased a laser printer was in 2007. It was a Xerox Phaser 3116 and though it has served us well in the past, laser printer prices at that time were high. Xerox Phaser 3116 was priced almost $200 (note: this unit is not even a color printer).
Now, color laser printers like Ricoh Aficio SP C220N Color Laser Printer are sold cheap. Price of Ricoh Aficio SP C220N Color Laser Printer online is under $150 plus shipping cost (woot price). Unfortunately, it's already sold out. On amazon, the price tag of Ricoh Aficio SP C220N Color Laser Printer is still more than $300 (shipping fee not included).
What makes the features of Ricoh Aficio SP C220N Color Laser Printer something you would want for your home or office use? Here are they
Ricoh Aficio SP C220N Color Laser Printer Basic Features

Ricoh Aficio SP C220N Color Laser Printer Review: With the price of Ricoh Aficio SP C220N, this great value color laser printer is a bargain. Most color laser printers of this class don't come this cheap. Even in the Philippines, powder laser printers are sold more expensive than this (PhP15,000 – above). Other sites also had positive reviews of Ricoh Aficio SP C220N Color Laser Printer. In addition, our review of its cartridge is good. The toner cartridges are sold separately (black and color) and the prices of these are usually in between $55-65 for black and $90-100 for color (magenta, cyan and yellow). If you are conscious about investing your money on color laser printers, the Ricoh Aficio SP C220N Color Laser Printer is highly recommended. It's a great value for the price, we guarantee.

Short story: "On Light"

"On Light," by Seth Fried
863 words
From the Tin House blog (read here)
An excellent tiny story.
I might have said this before, but mediocre-to-good flash fiction often seems to be formed from just a clever idea—a joke, more or less. Really interesting flash fiction, the kind that stays with you, seems to usually be made from a clever idea plus some insight or depth or sense of conviction beyond just a joke. Hard to define.

In their exhausting daily struggle to prevent the breakup of the eurozone, Europe's leaders are in danger of allowing their most successful project, the single market, to stagnate, at best, or unravel, at worst.
The single market, which celebrates its 20th anniversary on Jan. 1, has made significant progress toward the free movement of goods, services, capital and people across its 27 member states. It is the world's biggest economy with 500 million consumers, 21 million companies and an annual output of almost $18 trillion.
But there's still a long way to go to remove the regulatory and physical barriers standing in the way of a genuine borderless single market to match the United States, the original goal of its architects.
And transport, which has a key role in breaking down barriers and cutting costs for companies and consumers alike, is a major let down, with many sectors still trapped in a nationalistic mindset.
EU leaders acknowledged the strategic importance of transport in the communique from a Brussels summit in October. "In the field of transport, eliminating regulatory barriers and tackling bottlenecks and missing cross-border links are essential in order to guarantee the effective operation of the single market and promote competitiveness and growth."
But transport, long a Cinderella in national and EU budgets, is likely to fall further down the pecking order, as Europe grapples with more pressing issues.
True, there have been genuine breakthroughs in some sectors. Inland shipping and trucking have been deregulated, spreading cross-border competition and squeezing previously inflated freight rates. Cross-border and domestic rail freight markets have been liberalized, too, though entrenched state-owned operators have crushed, bankrupted or taken over private entrants in most EU countries. Cabotage also has cut short-sea shipping costs, particularly in peripheral regions. Aviation deregulation has spawned cross-border mergers, boosted budget airlines, slashed fares for business and leisure travelers, and allowed bankruptcies of inefficient feather-bedded flag carriers.
The outlook for the much hyped Trans-European Networks is looking grim, however, as European politicians plead penury to postpone projects they were never that much interested in even in better times. Earlier this month, French President Francois Hollande pledged to push ahead with a high-speed rail link between Lyon and Turin, one of Europe's busiest trucking routes. "But a lot will depend on the European budget," he added, condemning to further delay an urgently needed project that's already been stuck in the planning pipeline for 11 years.
And with the EU struggling to agree a new seven-year budget through 2020, several other pan-European transport corridors likely will remain on the drawing board for the foreseeable future.
But EU leaders can easily remove the regulatory and technical barriers to the development of a truly single transport market. The single market doesn't exit on the sea, so a ship sailing from Genoa, Italy, to Barcelona, Spain, is considered as a foreign voyage, which requires time-consuming filing of customs documents, which makes a mockery of the EU's Motorways of the Sea program aimed at switching goods from CO2-spewing trucks on congested roads to more environmentally friendly ships.
Freight trains still face an array of national technical, safety and labor standards that force them to spend hours at a standstill in "foreign" cross-border rail stations. And regional politicians ensure that local passenger trains get timetable priority over international freight services.
Europe's port industry also remains fragmented as dockers' unions, supported by European politicians, killed off a reform program aimed at creating a competitive level playing field by rooting out hidden subsidies.
The EU's decade-long effort to create a single European sky has also failed because the majority of member states have failed to cede control of their air traffic control administrations. As a result, aircraft have to fly through 650 airspace sections operated by 60 control systems managed by national governments with minimal cross-border coordination. Europe's airspace is about the same size as that of the U.S., but it handles half the traffic at twice the cost.
While saving the eurozone is the EU's top priority going into 2013, its leaders should take time out to strengthen the single market amid fears it could start to unravel as protectionist sentiment takes hold in its economically weaker member states — including Italy and Spain.
And the transport sector is the most obvious place to make a start.

I have a lot of irons in the fire. I would have to take a bunch of them out of the fire if my physician told me that I was terminal.
I have a lot of projects in mind that I can finish if my mind remains alert, I discipline myself, I stick to a tight budget, and I live for 15 more years. If I live for 20, all the better. If I match Jacques Barzun and Peter Drucker in age and productivity, I can achieve a whole lot. But it's all dependent on my survival. It's the compounding effect that will make the difference. These are all long-term projects.
I have short-term projects, too, such as writing four articles a day, six days a week, for this website.
So many projects, so little time. Are you in a similar situation? You should be. I highly recommend it.
You need several long-term projects that might make a difference. These will constitute your primary legacy. They are projects that no one else is likely to do. They will be the things you are remembered for. They take lots of time.
Sure, if you're an inventor, and you stumble across The Big One, and you raise capital for it, and a government regulatory agency does not bankrupt your company, and a competitor does not steal it, maybe you can leave a legacy in just five years. How likely is that? How many inventions ever pan out commercially? Optimists say 20%. Pessimists say a tenth of one percent.
I suspect that the pessimists are closer to the truth. The odds are against you.

"This building will stand forever."Harsher in Hindsight is a serious event, plotline, or comment where a later event (in the story or real life) comes up and only serves to amplify the already bitter-tasting effect. It can lead to episodes or issues being pulled or held from re-running if it's perceived as Too Soon. This leads to a rather heart-wrenching moment and makes some people feel uneasy about it when they view the event in the original work. Compare "Funny Aneurysm" Moment, Too Soon, Life Imitates Art, Cerebus Retcon (elements that were originally comedic are later deconstructed and played as tragic). Note that if the event in question is something inevitable, such as people dying, that's not necessarily this trope. Everyone dies eventually, as far as we know. It would be this trope if the death had some link to how they appeared on screen. Contrast Hilarious in Hindsight, Heartwarming In Hindsight. CONTAINS SPOILERS.
— Lewis Schiliro, Head of the FBI's New York Office, after the 1993 WTC Bombing.
Keep in mind, this trope is for stuff that was already dramatic/serious to begin with, but is now worse due to history. For stuff that started out funny and now isn't because of history, the correct trope is "Funny Aneurysm" Moment.

When hearing about hospice for the first time for a loved one, who would you prefer to hear it from?
Jim Stovall's book, The Ultimate Gift, inspired us to think about hospice differently. Hospice removes the negatives—the
pain, the spiritual burdens, the financial burdens, the guilt. It elevates death in many ways, but many people don't
know that. His teachings inspired us to help patients live their lives to the fullest through these unique programs: Gift
of a Day, Gift to the Community and Gift of Blessings and Gratitude.
Inspired by the life lessons taught in Jim Stovall's novel "The Ultimate Gift", we developed unique plans
of care that include programs like Gift of a Day. Since its inception, we have helped hundreds of patients experience the
perfect day. That day is based on the question: "If you had one perfect day, what would it look like?"
Our staff members, volunteers and local businesses work together to bring the Gifts to life.

The Grief Recovery Method® Outreach Program, is our Gift to the Community that helps people move beyond the pain of loss to
achieve healing. It is a twelve-week program led by a Crossroads' employee who has been trained and certified by the
Grief Recovery® Institute. The program is offered at no charge and is available to anyone in need of grief
support. It is not limited to families and patients on service with Crossroads Hospice. We encourage local non-profits,
church congregations and other community groups to take advantage of this helpful, powerful program.
Click here to find a program in your area.
The Gift of Blessings and Gratitude involves creating life journals for our patients to leave as legacies for family members
and loved ones. The journals contain the history of the patients' life, including their heritage, life treasures,
and memory notes. This program was specifically inspired by Jim Stovall's insights from The Gift of Gratitude.

Research in the Forbes group specializes in utilizing fundamental engineering principles to understand the innate biological mechanisms of tumors and using that knowledge to develop cancer therapies. While most of our focus is on strategies against cancer, many of our advances and techniques could be applied to other diseases and bioengineering problems. Despite decades of research and billions of dollars in funding, cancer is still the second leading cause of death in the United States. Over the last century, researchers have discovered many of the genetic causes of cancer and yet hundreds of thousands of people die each year. Many patients do not respond well to current therapies because most solid human tumors contain subpopulations of cells that are resistant to therapeutics. The application of core engineering principles is necessary to understand how nutrient diffusion and cellular metabolism gives rise to resistant cells.
In our group the cancer problem is being addressed in two ways: we use experimental and computational methods to understand the cellular mechanisms that give rise to drug resistance in tumors and we use engineering methods to design therapeutic strategies to overcome resistance in tumors. We are primarily working to create genetically modified bacteria that target the therapeutically resistant regions of tumors and secrete cancer-killing compounds. We call this approach intratumoral therapeutic delivery. Our ultimate goals are to generate computational tools capable of predicting optimal therapeutic strategies for cancer patients and to create treatment modalities that effectively treat patients with resistant tumors. Succeeding at these goals will increase therapeutic efficiency and increase the live expectancy of cancer patients.
Our research group is unique because it is a interdisciplinary program that combines elements from multiple fields, including chemical engineering, tumor biology, microbiology, veterinary science and oncology. The elements that we combine from these fields include 1) mathematical modeling, 2) in vitro tumor model development, 3) micro-scale device fabrication 4) genetic manipulation, and 4) small animal experimentation. We believe this combination of these elements is necessary to achieve our goal to understanding and overcoming drug resistance in tumors.

What Is Testosterone?
Testosterone is a hormone found in plenty in men and in limited amounts in women. The hormone plays a role in fertility and puberty. In men, it is manufactured by the testes, the male reproductive glands. It is testosterone that helps in procreation and maintaining sex drive. The hormone should reside at optimal levels for normal functioning of the body. Lower levels of testosterone lead to negative impact on the man's mental, physical health, and sexuality challenges. Testosterone test, (also called T test or serum testosterone test) is used to measure the levels of testosterone in your blood. Through low testosterone symptoms, you are able to know you are suffering from the condition.
Testosterone is also essential for maintaining bone density in men, red blood cell distribution, fat distribution, sperm production and generation muscle mass and strength. Low levels of testosterone not only affect your sexuality, it also impacts your mood, weight and concentration. When the problem is associated with the body organs that yield testosterone (i.e. Testes of ovaries), then it is referred to as "primary". Hypogonadism is medical terminology used to describe when the normal levels of testosterone production decrease. When the problem is associated to pituitary glands and its reduced ability to control testosterone production, it is called secondary hypogonadism. Tertiary hypogonadism is when the problem is at the hypothalamus level.
What causes Testosterone?
Knowing the exact cause of your specific low levels of testosterone is the key to finding the best remedy and long lasting solution to the low levels. Your doctor will carry out a diagnosis to determine what the main cause of your situation is. Here are some of the health conditions that may result to low testosterone levels in your body:
- - Testes Injury
- - Chemotherapy
- - Congenital causes
- - Childhood bumps infections
- - Obesity
- - Thyroid function changes
- - Aging
- - Stress
- - Sleep apnea
- - Diabetes
- - System infections, for instance, HIV/AIDS
It is therefore a good idea to first investigate the underlying medical condition that leads to your low levels of testosterone. Sorting to take the supplemental testosterone pills without understanding the cause of the situation may not give a sustainable answer to the problem. In most cases, when the problem associated with the decreasing levels of testosterone is corrected, your hormones rise to the normal levels again, naturally.
Understanding Testosterone Levels
The range of the normal testosterone levels in human is wide. It is ideal that you understand what is considered low levels of testosterone in your body. Low levels can be considered as a figure below 300 ng/dL (nanograms per deciliter). It is at 300 that the low testosterone symptoms and signs begin to show. The normal limits for a man should be 1000 to 1200 ng/dL. The levels of testosterone do vary during the day, a doctor therefore needs to do two tests at different times of the day to come up with a more informative and reliable results.
Top 10 Bad Signs for Low Testosterone
According to the guidelines given by the Endocrine Society, diagnosis of low testosterone in a man can be done if the patient shows both warning symptoms and signs of low testosterone. Here are the top 10 low testosterone symptoms and signs in the body:
1). Reduced sex drive
2). Decreased energy levels
3). Erectile dysfunction
4). Sleep disorder
5). Reduce endurance and strength levels
6). Tenderness and increased breast size
7). Emotional challenges, including irritability, sadness, depression and difficulty concentrating
8). Decrease in amount of body hair
9). Loss of body muscle mass
10). Decrease in testicle or penis size
Most men at the age of 30 and above begin to show the signs of reduced levels of testosterone in the body. Some men begin earlier than others, and this is all natural. It is a good idea to seek for medical intervention to look for a reliable and long-term solution instead of sorting to go with the store supplements which may have serious hormonal and other consequences in the long term. When these signs show, look for medical attention and always go with the most natural remedies.
What are the treatment Options for Low Testosterone Levels?
The good news is that there are effective and safe remedies for raising the testosterone levels back to its normality. There are several treatment options you can opt to settle for, depending on what the doctor decides to be the best option for your case. Every treatment option provides you with its own benefits of cons.
Testosterone Injection: These are probably the conventional methods, and are also cheaper. Testosterone injections are given at certain weekly intervals, they work by stimulating the production of sperm and motility. Testosterone injections are given at regular intervals to keep the symptoms away.
Patches and Gel: When the problem is not related to fertility, then a simple patch or gel will do. These are applied on the skin on a daily basis, which then releases testosterone into your bloodstream. They give faster results, which drops after a few days when you stop using them.
Buccal Tablets: these are placed in body parts singled out by your doctor. You can have them on your upper lip, gums, etc. The tablets release testosterone slowly, which is absorbed into the bloodstream. They can be irritating or bitter.
Subcutaneous: the latest remedy, implants for testosterone boosting. They work for the longer term, say six months and more, depending on what you purchase.
Learn more about low testosterone with Dr. Brett Baker:
Are there any side effects related to the treatment?
Depending on the medication chosen, there are risks associated. However, when done under the diagnosis, care and guide by an expert doctor, you stand to get high rate of success. Always seek for immediate help from the doctor when you witness any un-normal side effects when under use of the drugs/supplements. Some of the effects related to testosterone drugs include blood clots, prostate enlargement, cancer, and others.
Low testosterone is a common man's disease, some resort to suffer silently, which is not ideal when there are medically proven solutions. Low testosterone symptoms are open, and are easily notable; always seek for medical assistance immediately you realize these signs and symptoms. The condition does cause a lot of strain in the relationships. Always ensure you get the services from reputable and well known testosterone experts to not only get the right remedy but also at the best prices.

Ordering elements
In Agile Toolkit each object you add is inserted as a child to some other object. They end up in $object->elements array, however there is no easy way to rearrange it.
To solve this problem we now have "Order" controller. It's really simple to use and it will rearrange anything – form fields, columns, objects on the page and possibly even menu items.
$form->add('Order') ->move('email','before','name') ->now();
Code above will rearrange the fields. Note that you should call either now() or onHook(). onHook is useful if you anticipate more elements to arrive into the object. onHook($this->api,'post-init');
Grid defines it's columns in a separate array, but Order can work with any array, you should just specify it through useArray(). It will not work with Grid, because grid's array is defined as protected. Grid defines function addOrder() which will do the array binding for you.
$g->addOrder() ->move('email','before','name') ->now();

Bob Lang of Explosive Options: Oh, we know how the rest of that line finishes. However, I'm particularly interested in the hotel stocks and how they have been performing of late. For reference, there are four main casino names that dominate the Vegas scene -- Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Las Vegas Sands (MVS), MGM Resorts (MGM) and Boyd Gaming (BYD). The first three also have a strong presence in China with hotels/casinos in Macau, the only legal gambling area near China. The growth of Macau has been breathtaking and these casinos are part of it. With a veritable monopoly in the region that growth should continue for years.
The economy in the US has shown some improvement. The success of casinos naturally relies on the health of the consumer. With a robust economy, job growth and positive sentiment we see gamers flock to the tables. The most recent great recession was devastating for the group but they have been making a comeback. LVS has been stuck in a range but is within 10% of a new 52-week high while MGM has been steadily rising for the past month, about 20% off a recovery high, BYD very similar to MGM. WYNN has had more trouble than the others and will need more time to recover.
As the US economy continues to rebound it is the casinos where much of the action will be focused.
My trade ideas: Long LVS February 45 calls for $3.00, Long MGM February 12 calls for $0.96.

Carolyn Boroden of Fibonacciqueen.com: I took a look at both LVS and MGM to see if there was a technical basis via my Fibonacci work for Bob's optimism in these two Vegas stocks. They both looked good, especially when backing up a bit and looking at the bigger picture. In MGM, the weekly chart illustrates the healthy cluster of price support where the rally really started in October 2011. Since then we've seen quite a bit of follow through to the upside and if we continue to hold above the October lows, the upside potential for that one is the $19.53 area. There are some hurdles on the way up however at the $13.35-$14.90 area.

My sister recently had a baby boy and I'm the scrapbooker in the family. I bought these to use as little accents on his pages but I've ended up using them on cards, personalized brag books and album covers too. The glitter adds extra dimension to them as well. I love them so much that I bought the little girls ones too!
So cute. Lots of die cuts in one package, 144 to be exact. I am very pleased. Great for newborn boy pages and as he grows some for his toddler year pictures. You get two dies cuts of each image. Good value for the price. Can wait to use them.
What a great set, theres at least double of everything, they are doble sided and some have glitter and some doesn't, that makes it really nice.
The price was great, compared to retail stores
I really like this because there was so much in it! So many pieces to select and use. Pieces were pretty and I'm sure I'll be able to use all of the contents.

Editor's note: The Baltimore Sun reports the projection/premiere appears to have happened earlier than expected.
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Baltimore officials have canceled outdoor premieres of a new Kanye West video because organizers didn't seek permits from the city.
Police say the events had been scheduled for 10 p.m. at three locations: the Bromo-Seltzer Arts Tower, the Walters Art Museum and the Baltimore Museum of Art.
West has been projecting the video for his song "New Slaves" onto walls in public spaces in numerous cities.
Baltimore police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says the events were canceled because they had the potential to attract large crowds and organizers had not sought permits.

Butter Brickle and Pecan Cookies
Back in the 70's, my little friends and I regularly searched under our couch cushions to scrape up spare change. Dad was notorious for napping on the couch with pockets full of change, so we usually scored pretty well. We often took that change to the drugstore to get cheap ice cream cones… they seriously had the best ice cream. Rite-Aid has now taken over that chain, and they actually still carry some of those same great flavors… like Chocolate Malted Crunch, Pecan Praline and Butter Brickle. In memory of childhood flavors, I made Butter Brickle Pecan Cookies.
6 ingredients quickly mixed make the dough for these easy-to-make cookies. Roll them into little balls and you're good to go.
The balls are flattened slightly with the bottom of a glass.
They spread out and bake up into crispy, flaky cookies reminiscent of those much adored ice cream flavors. They're too delicate for holiday mailing, but they'd make a nice addition to a cookie platter. Our family thought these were groovy and devoured a few before I relegated them to the freezer for future placement on my holiday cookie trays.
This recipe can be found here: Butter Brickle and Pecan Cookies

Apparently nothing Hillary Clinton does will ever stop the juvenile, frat boy criticisms of her appearance. Not a run for the White House. Or a seat in the U.S. Senate. Or her amazing stint as secretary of state. Or through the roof approval ratings. Or even a turn with the cool kids and Tumblr.
One moment without makeup or a stylist and the conservative right pounces, mocking the "Hillary Au Naturale" look.
I have to hand it to Hillary. She's able to laugh this stuff off, saying she's just not that concerned about what people say about her glasses or make-up free appearance at this stage of her life.
But in all seriousness, if bringing up the worn Hillary-looks-old-and-tired remark is the best that conservatives can do for news when they ought be paying attention to their man who wants to unseat President Obama, then liberals ought to have a celebratory drink or two.
As far as I'm concerned, a woman of Hillary Clinton's age and accomplishments deserves a day now and then when lip gloss and Tina Fey glasses equal "make-up." Her critics who think that it's all sorts of good fun to channel their inner mean girls when it comes to the secretary of state's appearance should remember she's now pals with Tyra Banks. And they don't want Tyra losing her temper!

"The Carly Henley Project" is dedicated in the memory of an exceptional girl who touched the lives of many. Carly Henley left us at the young age of 20, but not before inspiring passion and love into the lives of hundreds of people, young and old alike. She was a shining light in this sometimes dark world, and it is with her light that this project is borne.
On June 2nd, 2011, with the help of family, friends, and musicians close to Carly, her CD "Love the Skin Your'e In" was released at a sold out concert and The Showbox in Seattle, WA. This collaborative effort completed Carly's dream of producing a full length CD, as well as keeps her passion for music alive, so that she and her beautiful life are not forgotten.
All proceeds of The Carly Henley Project, including donations, sales of her CD, and merchandise go to support The Rain City Rock Camp for Girls.

James Brown House, 326 Spring Street,New York, NY 10013, USA
(Map)(212) 219-8026
"It is the courtyard and its many tables that draw the throng to [this pub], especially in the warmer months when it's as difficult to find a seat, as it is to get past the bouncers on the gates if you're stumbling about after a skinful."
Obvious by the 'Bar' neon sign hanging outside, the Ear
Inn is situated in West Soho, close to the West Side Highway
and the Hudson River, and is one of New York's oldest
drinking establishments, having been operating since 1817.
For the sake of the clientele who may believe this Inn is
3,821 years old, the sign outsides reassures the
mentally-challenged by stating the obvious: it was
established in 1817AD and not 1817BC. The Inn's greatest
novelty, however, is surely the ends of the 'B' on the neon
sign having been painted over, in such a manner that the sign
now says 'Ear'! Oh, how ingenious.
As a seafaring/fishing/ear(!) themed Inn, situated in the
rather fancifully named James Brown House, it's no wonder
you're expecting the building to be named in honour of the
'Codfather of Sole', but later investigation tells that this
James Brown was a freed slave who fought in the US
Revolutionary Army. (US Revolutionary War? Never heard of
it!) The Ear Inn was once called the Green Door, so it's a
wonder the building's not called Shakin' Stevens House.
There appears to be a glut of 'professional' women working
in here, anomalous women obviously unlike the regular
patrons, suspicious characters approaching men for whatever
reasons. We were accosted within seconds of entering by an
uncharacteristic woman who asked our advice about the Inn, as
it was her 'first time'; once it was apparent that we were
tourists and new to the Inn ourselves, her attention soon
shifted to another susceptible fool. There were several
women seen using this ploy who were apparently unknown to
each other, as their introductions to each other was
overheard, in which they congratulated themselves on their
success so far!
Dick van Dyke drinks in here! Or rather an Englishman as
convincing a cockney as Dick van Dyke does, as he was
overheard spinning a yarn about the UK to a 'professional'
lady. Oh how we laughed! How we amused ourselves listening
to this Walter Mitty character's tales, his tall stories that
would clearly make him a fool should he be aware there are
other Brits in the Inn, listening to his baloney. In his
twisted, little mind, the British still deport criminals,
such as he, to Australia or the American colonies, as we
Brits seemingly still refer to the USA! He chose New York as
his chose of exile destination, although it suits him, as
'London is full of criminals and pickpockets' and you 'must
keep your hands in your pockets'. When the penny finally
dropped there were Brits in earshot, his voice fell a few
decibels and I'm sure his nonsense level sank as low as his
As expected from such an old establishment, the bar and
features are authentically aged, and there are numerous
ancient bottles standing on top of the bar, which were
recently excavated from the cellar. There is an abundance of
nautical paraphernalia, in additional to ears of all kind,
including a massive ear clinging to the wall. With such
big-ears about, it's no wonder we overheard the
above-mentioned conversations. The name of the Ear Inn has
nothing to do with eavesdropping, sadly, but is taken from a
music magazine called the Ear, which was published upstairs
from the mid 1970s until ten years ago.
Standing at the urinal and gazing upwards, you will be
amazed to see a City of Westminster road sign; obviously
somebody has been stealing Oxford Street road signs for
export to New York City.
This is a small, intimate Inn, with a great history and
wide selection of beers. It's a little off the beaten track,
but ideal if you're looking for something slightly different
or happen to be visiting the nearby New York City Fire
Museum. Definitely worth a visit, and perhaps you can
determine what the dubious women are doing.
Review by mr_psm
The Ear Inn is a fab artsy locale to hang out! The food is simple but great. Even John Lennon thought so.

In our system, courts don't grant indulgences or offer absolution; they decide cases, and they don't advise the president.
Look up: that buzz you hear overhead is the "drone court."
Washington's idea of the week is a secret court, based on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which issues secret wiretap warrants in certain espionage cases. Executive officials would go before the drone court and present their evidence that an individual abroad, perhaps a U.S. citizen, is an Al Qaeda affiliate and an imminent danger. Judges on the panel would issue, in effect, a secret death warrant--a certification that lethal force can be used against the "enemy combatant."
Sen. Dianne Feinstein spoke favorably about the idea at confirmation hearings for C.I.A. Director-designate John Brennan. So did former Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Thursday, the New York Times joined in the chorus.
Americans love courts and judges. But they trust them because, in our system, they are independent of elected officials--not part of the political machine. They are also what lawyers call "courts of limited jurisdiction." In carefully chosen language, Article III of the Constitution extends "the judicial power" of the United States to a specific and limited set of "cases and controversies." Federal courts decide cases; they do not fight wars, collect the garbage, or set health-care policy. And most particularly, they may not become an advisory agency of the executive branch.
The idea of a "drone court" would send federal courts into areas they have never gone before, and indeed from which, I think, the text of the Constitution bars them. It could also put the integrity of our court system at risk.
Let's frame the issue properly. The present administration does not claim that the president has "inherent authority" to attack anyone anywhere. Instead, from the documents and speeches we've seen, the administration says it can order drone attacks only as provided by the Authorization for the Use of Military Force passed by Congress after the September 11 attacks--that is, against "those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons."
Unlike the fictional President Bennett in Tom Clancy's Clear and Present Danger, then, President Obama can't suddenly send the drone fleet down to take out, say, Colombian drug lords or the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda. That's a marked change from the overall position of the last administration, and it's an important limitation on the president's claimed authority.
But because of that limitation, a court would be supervising the president's command decisions in a time of authorized military action--after, that is, the legal equivalent of a "declaration of war." As commander in chief, the president has been given a mission by Congress. By passing the AUMF, Congress has delegated to him its full war power to use in that mission. Nothing in the AUMF is directed to the courts; in fact, I have trouble finding authority for target selection anywhere in Article III. And whatever the technological changes, constitutionally I see no difference between targeting an enemy with a drone and doing the same thing with a Cruise missile or a SEAL Team. Courts simply aren't equipped to decide military tactics.
The FISA Court, on the other hand, doesn't really reach beyond Article III--judges since ancient times have issued warrants for searches and arrests, and the individuals being spied on are suspected of crimes against the United States. But I don't know of a deep-rooted tradition of common-law courts telling the shire reeve he can hunt someone down and kill him without trial.
A court that meets in secret, hears only one side of a dispute, and issues a final judgment without notifying other parties is not deciding cases; it is granting absolution.
There's yet another problem: what criteria would a "drone court" apply? In the "white paper" obtained by NBC News earlier this month, the Department of Justice says that a decision to order a strike involves three requirements: (1) the target represents "an imminent threat of violent attack"; (2) capturing the target would be "infeasible"; and (3) a lethal attack can be carried out "in a manner consistent with law of war principles." A court might be able to apply the first criterion, though just barely; but there is simply no precedent for an Article III judge balancing the prospective risks of a capture operation vs. that of a missile, or assessing the probability of "collateral damage" if the strike goes forward. We have left "the judicial power" behind altogether, and created a panel of poorly trained generals in sloppy black uniforms.

IT job market recovering faster than after dot-com bubble burst
tsamsoniw (1731366) writes | about 2 years ago0
tsamsoniw writes "More new tech jobs have emerged since the end of the past recession than during the same recovery timelines following the dot-com bubble burst and the early-1990s recession. What's more, the unemployment rate among technology professionals is now half that of national average — with especially low unemployment rates for database administrators and network architects. What's not clear, though, is how many unemployed techies aren't being counted because they've abandoned job searches."

His weathered mug is mostly wrapped in bandages. His funniest line is mostly unprintable. But Dennis Farina, the Chicago policeman-turned-character actor, nevertheless turns scene-stealer in Get Shorty. Portraying Miami mobster Ray ''Bones'' Barboni, Farina has to compete for screen time with the likes of Gene Hackman, John Travolta, and Danny DeVito.
''No one can say the F-word like Dennis,'' gushes Get Shorty director Barry Sonnenfeld (Addams Family Values). But back home in Chicago, Farina is more apt to say jeez, as in ''Jeez, I thought it was a really nice opportunity to meet these people,'' when asked to describe how it felt to join the all-star read-through of the script.
Despite roles in 1981's Thief (director Michael Mann was a friend of a friend) and numerous television movies, the 18-year veteran of the Chicago police force always considered acting a hobby. ''I would just work on my days off and furlough if a job came along,'' shrugs Farina, 51. But in 1985, he finally made the leap, giving up police work for a new beat: playing Chicago cop Mike Torello in NBC's Crime Story, which ran from 1986 through 1988.
Farina went on to share the screen with such daunting actors as Robert De Niro (in 1988's Midnight Run), Gary Oldman (in 1994's Romeo Is Bleeding), and Whoopi Goldberg (he costars as a basketball coach in the upcoming Eddie). But he's never lost his nerve or his tough-guy decorum: When Hackman offered to step in for his stunt double during a scene where Farina beats him up, Sonnenfeld remembers, ''Farina said, 'No. Gene will come after me, and the only way I'm going to be able to stop him is by shooting him. And I don't want to be known as the guy who shot Gene Hackman.''' Or, as Ray Bones would more simply put it, ''F -- - you, f -- - ball.''
