Drought worsens as crops weaken in Illinois and much of U.S.

Updated: August 18, 2012 6:26AM
The ferociously hot, dry summer is killing crops here and across the Midwest, government reports showed Monday. And the forecast calls for more hot, dry weather the next two weeks.
All of Illinois and more than half of the continental United States now faces drought conditions, according to information released Monday by the National Climatic Data Center. The percentage of land affected is the largest since 1956, when about 58 percent of the country was affected by drought.
Three-quarters of Illinois is suffering from a persistent severe drought, and farmers watched their crops deteriorate even further last week.
"All the crops in Illinois [are] really struggling," said Shawn McCambridge, a Chicago grains analyst for Jefferies Bache.
On Monday, the U.S. Agriculture Department rated 56 percent of Illinois corn in "poor" and "very poor" condition, compared with 48 percent the week before. Only 11 percent of the state's corn crop is in "good" and "excellent" condition — compared with 19 percent the week before.
Across the state, soybeans are faring somewhat better than corn: 41 percent of the crop is rated poor and very poor while 17 percent rated good and excellent.
The widespread drought and expectations that it will cut this year's crop drove a rally for corn and soybeans Monday.
Corn futures for December delivery rose 32.25 cents to $7.725 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade, while soybean futures for November rose 38 cents to $15.905 a bushel at close.
For months, areas in southern Illinois have experienced high temperatures and little rain, while northern areas, including Chicago, haven't fared much better, analysts said.
Forecasts for the next two weeks project that the dry weather and only occasional precipitation will continue throughout the state, which would put additional stress on a corn crop that some say is beyond saving and on a soybean crop that badly needs rain, and soon.
Bill McNeal, who grows corn and soybeans on about 500 acres in Lake County, said he estimates he'll lose 50 percent of his corn this year.
"I don't think I've seen a crop this bad," McNeal said, even as he recalled the record drought Illinois faced in 1988.
McNeal estimated that at least 20 percent of his soybean crop would be lost, though he's holding out hope that the state will get some rain and the remainder of his crop can be saved.
Last week's rains were few and far between, with the state averaging half an inch of rain, with some areas getting little or no precipitation, said Jim Angel, a climatologist at the Illinois State Water Survey at the University of Illinois.
The state's crops need to get at least 6 inches of rain over the next two weeks to survive.
"That's a long shot at this stage of the game," he said.
McCambridge expects that if the weather forecasts for the next two weeks hold, there will be additional decline in crop ratings and in production throughout the state, including the northern regions.
Nationally, northern corn belt areas such as Iowa and Nebraska, which had previously fared a little better and had decent production potential, are now starting to catch up to Illinois' level of deterioration, McCambridge said.
"This is one of those what I would call exceptional years in which you have these conditions across widespread areas of the country," he said.

Do you live with only one hand, or ever feel two just isn't enough? Well now you can make another! This project combines two very cool things: an arduino voice recognition shield and an open-source 3D printed robotics project called InMoov. Basically what I've done is modify the InMoov hand/forearm to be usable as a prosthetic (or additional appendage) and add a VR (voice recognition) shield to receive verbal commands and then make corresponding motions with the hand. The advantage of voice control is that it doesn't require muscles and is more flexible to different physical conditions (also hands free!). My program includes 15 general hand gestures and actions for everyday living! When I was looking into myoelectric arms kept thinking that the functionality wasn't worth the thousands of dollars. While mine isn't as fancy as some it's remarkable what you can create with desktop 3D printers, an arduino, and servos! I think the coolest part is the customization: the printed parts can be scaled to make an accurate prosthetic for anyone. Although this project can look intimidating, the entire time taken (if you work on the electronics while parts are printing) is about 14 hours! See it in action! (If embed doesn't work try the link HERE)
its cool. pretty cool indeed. and its really helpfull for people who really need. helping by making such awesome project is great event.
Hi. I looked throught the parts, however there was no <robpart1.stl> for the stl files. Could you advise me on where I could find this? Thank you.
That is really helpful. Great job. :)
The video appears to be shot using stop-action animation. Could we see how the fingers are made to operate in real time?
awesome project. One of the best project in instructables, keep it up.
Hey! i worked at one of the biggest prostheses company in germany on the topiv of myoprothesis control and electronics, and i have to say: your arm is really impressive! cool idea and keep up the great work!
Thanks, Ron
Why not try it out and post an update pic here if you decide to do it?
I don't know if you know--or care!!!--but the cost for a basic lo tech prosthetic leg is about 17000$ USD--thus putting it out of reach for MOST of the world. There is NO good reason for that! And a leg is SO much lower tech than an arm---
My latest faux leg has a hydraulic ankle and cost something like 22000$. And this is STILL pretty lo-tech and basic. A "C Leg" costs something like 60000$ or more.
I don't even want to THINK of how much a bio-compataible ARM might cost. And a lot of arm amputees won;t wear the ones they have--they are not comfortable and don't DO what they claim they do. This one on the other hand---um---well----
If you are serious about the whole 3-D printing thing--hows about 3-D printing the entire BODY POART for trasnplant? Yeah--I know--it is being done veeeeeeerrrryyyy slooooooly--but some one who could "Jump Start" this---Well sign ME up for the first test! After all---what MORE do I have to lose???
Can I stop by to see it in action? I'm in Chicago too!
And I hope my curiosity to see you work did not make you think of me as a bad guy. IF so I apologize to you for that.

Doc Severinsen will blow his horn at Rialto
By Kathy Cichon For Sun-Times Media November 7, 2013 10:34AM
Doc Severinsen will bring his Big Band Show to the Rialto on Nov. 14. | File photo
Doc Severinsen Big Band Show featuring
Vanessa Thomas
♦ 7:30 p.m. Nov. 14
♦ Rialto Square Theatre, 102 N. Chicago St., Joliet
♦ Tickets: $20-$55
♦ (815) 726-6600
Updated: November 8, 2013 10:24AM
Seven years ago, Doc Severinsen moved to Mexico, intending to retire from performing. But the lure of the stage proved too strong when he met several other musicians.
"It was a pleasant surprise. Just living there, I heard musicians play, and they recognized that I was a musician and they asked me to play with them. And I did," he said by phone from his home in Tennessee. "I was just doing it for fun at first, but then it got serious."
The former Tonight Show bandleader began touring as part of the San Miguel Five, performing classical Spanish music with a jazz flair as well as gypsy jazz. He also recorded new albums featuring the music.
Now retirement is the furthest thing from the 86-year-old's mind.
"Now and then I think about it," he said. "But the minute I start up with the big band or the San Miguel Five — either one — and I realize what I'd be giving up. As long as I can play and play well, I'll probably keep doing it."
Severinsen and his Big Band stop at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet Nov. 14. The 16-piece band was formerly the Tonight Show Band, the famed trumpeter said.
"Now, it's just myself and one other guy left," he said. "The band has been recruited mostly in the Midwest because that's where I was able to find the best players. It's a great band. And I'm very proud of them and the kind of music we play."
The band is joined by vocalist Vanessa Thomas and performs standards and some originals, he said. That includes the famous "Tonight Show" theme.
"A lot of people expect that out of me, and are more familiar with me playing that kind of music," he said.
Severinsen, who got his nickname "Doc" because his father was a dentist (he was initially called "Little Doc" because his father was called "Big Doc"), began playing trumpet at age 7. Within a week, he was asked to join the local high school band in Arlington, Ore.
"It was a small community, and they needed everybody they could get," he said. "And it just so happened that even at that age I was more qualified to play the first chair than even the big kids."
After a serving in the Army during World War II, Severinsen toured with the bands of Charlie Barnett, Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman. He joined the "Tonight Show" band in 1962, and five years later became its bandleader.
"It was obviously, I think, one of the best jobs any musician ever had," he said. "Because Johnny (Carson) didn't just select you because of your musical ability but your ability to talk on television to a live audience and not implode or do something bad. Well, we did some bad, once in a while."
"Johnny managed everything so beautifully," he said. "All we had to do was take the lines he threw out to us and get on with it."
Severinsen, who helped design a line of instruments that bear his name, will occasionally mention in concert that a particular song was a favorite of Carson's, but his concerts don't feature many stories of "The Tonight Show." Instead, he said he lets "our show be about the music."
"We're all there for one thing. And that is to see that audience is pleased with what we do on stage. We don't do anything raunchy. We're not saints or anything like that. But we try to just put the emphasis on the music," he said. "And if people haven't heard any big band music recently, we try to include music that will give them some of the basics of what a big band is really all about. The sound is unlike anything else you'll ever hear ... It's something you need to hear for precision and power and joyousness. We try to bring joy to our music."

A&L Potato Company History
Established in 1941, brothers, Albert and Lawrence Boushey began A&L Potato Company, Inc. They envisioned delivering the finest quality potatoes to familes throughout the United States.
Albert and Lawrence were involved in every aspect of the potato process. They farmed their own potatoes; washed, packaged, and distributed them to retail stores.
Though they were successful, in 1956 the partnership came to an end. Albert continued with A&L Potato Company, Inc. with two of his sons; Thomas and Gerald. Lawrence pursued other business opportunites with his children.
Our company continued to flourish and operate with the second generation of Boushey's. By 1974 Thomas and Gerald had taken over full ownership of A&L Potato Company, Inc.
In 1979, the company was divided yet once again. Gerald chose to take over the farm and Thomas in return took over the plant. Soon after, in 1982, farming stopped. A&L Potato Company, Inc. no longer grew thier own potatoes; rather they bought from local farmers in the red river valley.
A devastating fire in 1982 at A&L Potato Company, Inc. left the company in ruins. Thomas, with the help of his three sons, had to put the company together again. With hard work A&L Potato was rebuilt and back in operation. Just one year after the fire, founder, Albert Boushey passed away during this time.
The third generation took over A&L in 1993; Randy, Charles, and Joseph. They remained equal owners until 1997 when Joseph left the family business to pursue the transportation industry. Randy and Charles then became equal partners.
In 2011 our company continues to operate under Randy and Charles Boushey with the fourth generation slowly emerging into the business as well. We strive to maintain strong family values and serve our customers with the finest quality potates.

Pure Paisa (Fiqh of Money & Transactions)
- Information
- Course Outline
- Testimonials
They say ignorance is bliss. Now that might work for some folks but for Muslims, that is one epic FAIL of a belief.
And in my experience, I found that the one area we Muslims are super ignorant about are our finances, our businesses, how to buy and sell correctly, all the thousands of transactions that happen in front of our eyes every day of which we are an integral part. Yet we have – at worst – no concern, and at best little idea of whether we are falling into haram and thereby ruining our Dunya as well as our Akhirah.
Think about the following scenarios and see if they relate to you:
- If you walk into the shop to buy a packet of Doritos but then see a promotional packet of Walkers which enters you into a competition – is it permissible to buy the Walkers?
- You need credit on your phone – there's a deal on at the moment which offers $20 worth of calls for only $15. Is that halal?
- My pension plan has just been explained: my employer is happy to pay a whopping 10% contribution from his side if we go for a Final Salary option – is it a green light?
- You know the answer to that question! The advert then continues, "Call 0845 666 666 and choose the right letter to win a cruise to the Caribbean! Calls cost no more than 25p/per minute or text your answer for a one-time charge of one pound only!" Are you like, "Pass me the phone Mum!" or "Do I look that dumb?"
- Our local Islamic bank is a life-saver! They've been able to introduce an Islamic loan for five grand! I can now get the car I wanted – right?
- I love that game at the fair –you know the one when you pay a quid and use the mechanical crane arm to choose your favourite ted... erm, toy for your kid. But man, I can never do it! The operator always gets it first time, but I can't. Hold on, is this game even halal?
- No better time than the present to buy that house – and my local bank is offering a mortgage at very good rates whereas the Islamic bank is not only more expensive but I've looked at the contract – it's exactly the same thing! Or is it?
- I bet that I can get home before you can! But hold on, surely it's haram to say things like that? That's gambling!
- If there's anything safe to invest in then it has to be gold. And guess what, you can actually buy it online now using your Paypal account. But is this halal or haram?
- You went to the protests but no joy – tuition fees for University are here to stay. Thankfully though, a student loan is available which won't be charging interest, it'll just be index linked to inflation rates instead. So that's allowed isn't it? Right? Hello?
- Debit cards are all over the place now but there's always that hotel you love staying at which won't accept anything but credit cards. I really need one! And anyway, I'll never pay any interest on it ever because it'll clear every month anyway. Surely that's halal?
- Time to organize the Mosque 5-aside Football Tournament but committees being committees, they're not putting up any funds. No problem, we'll just charge each team a £10 entry fee with the winning team sharing the £100 prize. That's halal right? We're a mosque!
You know that you found yourself in there somewhere! The reality of course is that we are all getting involved in these and thousands of other transactions every single moment of our lives and it's time to be able to know how to understand all these issues and get answers so as to protect our Akhirah through keeping it Halal all throughout our lives.
This seminar, held with the support of one of the experts and pioneers of furthering our understanding of legal and financial matters as Muslims - the 1st Ethical Charitable Trust - will enable you to deal with and find solutions to these situations. We will also be going through the theory and together tackling practical case-based examples on:
- Understanding the impact of Halal and Haram upon ourselves in this life and the next
- Explaining the Islamic ethos to wealth, work, and business
- Debunking the words Mu'amalat and Buyu' to bring the Fiqh of Transactions and Sales to a level which we can all understand
- Exploring the concept of money and its use, the banking system, the Capitalist system and in contrast Islamic economic theory and Islamic finance
- Studying the Fiqh of Contracts
- Studying the Fiqh of Promises and their legal consequences, the Fiqh of Charity and non-Sale Contracts
- The impermissible aspects of business and contracts, such as riba, gharar, fraud, legal tricks etc
- An in-depth study of Mufti Taqi Usmani's epic paper presented to the WEF in Davos
- A detailed look at the concept of "dharoorah" or necessity and its validity
- Investigating real contracts from popular products such as credit cards, bank accounts, Islamic bank products
- A detailed look at the investment market, pensions, shares, stocks, bonds etc.
- Money management and how to be Islamically on point as well as making the Dunya work for you as opposed to the other way round
- A detailed look at all the above situations and all other contemporary challenges such as car leasing, inflation, loans, competitions, foreign exchange and the burgeoning investment market to name but a few
- Studying the factors on how to bless and increase our wealth from the Qur'an and Sunnah
And so much more insha'Allah!
I hope to see you all at this course which just might make you realize that the price of Paradise is very much worth finding out about whether it's in pounds, dollars, pesos, baisas or paisas. Purify your Paisa, and you will find Paradise is there for the taking by knowing the halal and running a mile from the haram! And so we called this course:

I have made this recipe at least a dozen times over the years and it always illicitness rave reviews from my guests. However, as noted by another reviewer, you must like the taste of lamb. I find that the wine cuts the sometimes fatty taste of the meat. I also do not use green beans of any type. I have added carrots and use chick peas. I use a bit more tomato paste as I like a stronger flavor. All in all a winner that can be made way ahead. Serve it with rosemary mashed potatoes and a spinach salad.

To be honest, the lamb flavor was a little overpowering for me. However, my husband enjoyed it. It is a very easy recipe to make if you like a strong lamb flavor.

I've made this twice and it is in fact easy and turned out beautifully. It also freezes well and like so many braises, the flavors concentrate and improve after freezing for a few days. However, there is an error in the recipe here. On the show, the ladies made this with white northern (or cannellini beans, and not haricots verts, which of course are the small French green beans. I've only made it with white beans and can't imagine I'd enjoy it with the canned haricots verts. Did anyone else notice the potential error? In addition, when I made it most recently I changed the cooking instruction shown here, and started it at 400 degrees for 45 minutes, and then reduced it to 325 degrees for about another 4-1/2 hours. The bones simply slipped from the meat and the dish was incredibly moist and flavorful.

Url with hash mark changing after partial postback
So, here's the deal: When entering a page with an anchor or hash mark (#) in the url like
doing a partail postback using an ASP.NET UpdatePanel will cause the content after the hash mark in the url to disappear, hence changing the url to something like
As far as I've been able to investigate, the behavoir is seen in Internet Explorer 6/8, Chrome and Safari on both Mac and PC, but not in Firefox. Also I belive that the problem was introduced with the latest version of ASP.NET (3.5). As this bug report shows, Microsoft is aware of the problem, and will fix it in the soon-to-be realeased ASP.NET 4.0.
Not being able to wait for that release, I did some testing to find a solution (hack) and managed to come up with two ways of working around the problem, with great help from Rostislav Hristov, co-founder of Asual DZZD.
What is going on?
In order to make a partial postback using the Update Panel on an ASP.NET page, one has to embed a Script Manager on the page. This Script Manager control will render a large amount of Javascript on the page, that controls like the UpdatePanel will utilize to make the snazzy partial update of the page.
How can it be fixed?
The easiest way to fix this, is to override the Javascript function that is causing all the balooza, namely the "Sys._Application.prototype._setState" function. All you have to do is insert af script like the one below after the Script Manager on your page
Sys._Application.prototype._setState = function() {}
If you prefer not to tamper with "black box" of Javascript that the Script Manager adds to the page, you can make sure to add a query string parameter to the hash value, eg.
This will cause the Javascript in question to act differently, and not change the url. It will result in some not-so-pretty urls though.

Mitt Romney's "47 percent" remark may have cost Republicans the White House, and his GOP colleagues are still busy sticking their feet in their mouths. Photo: Jamie Sabau/Getty Images
If the 2012 elections proved anything, it's that words matter. Unfortunate comments about rape by Rep. Todd Akin (R) in Missouri and Treasurer Richard Mourdock (R) in Indiana likely cost the Republican Party two Senate seats they otherwise would have won.
And Mitt Romney's infamous "47 percent" remarks may have cost Republicans the White House as well.
It was so bad that Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) even urged his party last month to "stop being the stupid party."
With that in mind, here's a round up of the 10 most controversial comments — some inflammatory, some just plain crazy — made by Republican politicians in the first month of 2013:
1. "I think video games is a bigger problem than guns, because video games affect people."
— Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), quoted by Kotaku.
2. "We will look forward to interrogating him at his hearing next week, mercilessly. We will bring him back for only time waterboarding to get the truth out of him."
— Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), quoted by Politico, joking that he'll get the truth out of Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) when he faces confirmation hearings to be the next secretary of state.
3. "They are used to defend our property and our families and our faith and our freedom, and they are absolutely essential to living the way God intended for us to live."
— California Rep. Tim Donnelly (R), talking about guns on The Bottom Line.
4. "These are people who are going to have to answer to a much higher power than me about why they have appealed and appealed and appealed."
— Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R), quoted by the Columbus Dispatch, saying critics of his JobsOhio program will have to answer to God.
5. "When it's for self protection, you need as much firepower as needed to protect your family."
— Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant (R), quoted by the Clarion Ledger, saying he'll oppose President Obama's gun control initiatives.
6. "Assault weapons is a misused term used by suburban soccer moms who do not understand what is being discussed here."
— Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder (R), quoted by the Missouri News Horizon, on efforts to ban assault weapons.
7. "He's partly right on that."
— Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.), an OB-GYN, quoted by the Marietta Daily Journal, on Todd Akn's "legitimate rape" comments.
8. "We may have to shed blood every couple hundred years to preserve our freedoms."
— Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.), quoted by Chicago's DNAinfo, adding that conservatives are losing the "war" with Democrats for U.S. voters.
9. "I refuse to play the game of 'assault weapon.' That's any weapon. It's a hammer. It's the machetes in Rwanda that killed 800,000 people, an article that came out this week, the massive number that are killed with hammers."
— Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas), on the Dennis Miller Show, arguing that banning assault weapons won't work.
10. "A holstered gun is not a deadly weapon... But anything can be used as a deadly weapon. A credit card can be used to cut somebody's throat."
— New Hampshire state Rep. Dan Dumaine (R), quoted by the Concord Monitor, opposing a move to ban guns for the chamber floor.

Thanksgiving DessertsAuthor: swampkitty05 // Category: CSA, Eating Local, Food Porn, Holiday, Recipes
We'll start our review of Thanksgiving dinner with the usual ending – the desserts. I made three desserts in total – a couple of squash custard pies, a caramelized nut tart, and a Sara Lee Blueberry pie. I'll skip the pic of the blueberry pie since I'm sure everyone has seen one at one time of their life.
I got the idea for the caramelized nut tart from this post at Simply Recipes, and let me tell you – words can't describe the great flavor of this. It's like the part that makes sticky buns good condensed into tart form. Of course, I've always had a thing for caramel and nuts together, so… For some reason, this one didn't go over too well, so lucky me has tons of leftovers. Probably because there was what everyone though was pumpkin pie to be had.
The other dessert that I made from scratch was Brown Sugar Squash Pie. It's a great custard pie that I made with butternut squash from the CSA box, and it tasted like a cross between sweet potato and pumpkin pie, only with better flavor. I always find the spices in both a bit overwhelming, but this recipe was a nice balance. I will definitely make this again, it came out perfectly. My only change to the recipe was that I used refrigerated pie dough instead of homemade. This went over like gangbusters, my guests went through an entire pie in 10 minutes flat.
I definitely should do more baking. As a matter of fact, I need to start my Christmas baking soon. Haven't decided what to make yet.

[...] I got a great deal on sqash and poblanos at Wegman's. $1 each for spaghetti squash, which I plan on using to make one of Paul's favorite dishes, and also $1 each for butternut squash, which I'll use to make Brown Sugar Squash Pie like we had last Thanksgiving. Yeah, I know it's a little early for squash pie, but I usually start getting the cravings for fall stuff like apple cider and squash around the end of August, so we're right on target. . Also at Wegman's, I got 10 poblano peppers for $1, which will come in handy when making salsa and chili today. [...]

One of the distinct memories I have growing up were the grown folks parties.
I mean, c'mon...gather a group of beaners, all their chil'rens, the food, the music...doesn't take much to tip in the direction of a party, know what I'm sayin'? Of course, the adults (aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends) in the family were not to be hindered by the fact that they all averaged about 4 children apiece. They would carry on with their plans and their cocktails and we (the chil'rens) would run around outside, play tag, hide and seek, hot lava, basketball, baseball, ride bikes, etc. etc. whilst the adults in the family got their party on. My uncle was a DJ, so once the music started blaring, we knew what was going down that night.
Of course, we were always well taken care of, fed, had sweaters on when it got chillly, they brought us in to play when it got too dark outside etc. etc. but I think it would have been alot of fun if we were invited in to share in the party.
Now that I'm an old married woman, this is what we do. When the family gets together, we don't shoo the chil'rens outside while we entertain ourselves.
We have a dance par-tay.
They love it. My mama loves it. It's hilariously funny. A good time is had by all.
Last year, my sister bought the chil'rens a tiny strobe light, a disco ball and a cd with lots of dance music--they loved it. So we've carried on the tradition again this year.
As you watch this video, pardon the sound of my man voice as I roll call all of the chil'rens names to get their attention. Heh. And Xixi. Oh, Xixi. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Enjoy. Hope you had a very merry Christmas.
And tomorrow? New Year's Eve. The holidays are flying right past us.
Dance Par-tay!

Top 3 Tech Stocks for 2013
EMC may lack the glitz of Apple or the headline-grabbing social media buzz of Facebook (FB), but the storage giant is certainly worthy of investors' attention.
"I think they are as well-positioned as any company in tech going into 2013," Daniel Ives, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets, told TheStreet. "You feel that they are well-positioned from a product perspective as well as from a secular perspective."
"I view them as the single best-positioned enterprise IT company that serves the cloud," added Brian Marshall, an analyst at ISI Group. "At the end of the day, I think we're only scratching the surface of what's possible with the cloud."The rise of cloud technology in recent years has spelt good news for EMC, which provides much of the core cloud hardware and software, both for enterprises deploying their own clouds and companies selling cloud services. EMC, for example, recently revamped its high-end Symmetrix VMAX hardware, which is specifically designed for cloud computing and is gaining traction with customers. The company's high-end storage revenue increased 5% year-over-year in the third quarter. Other EMC cloud offerings include its Atmos hardware and software, and the offerings of its VCE joint venture with VMware (VMW) and Cisco (CSCO). Aimed at firms looking to quickly build out their cloud infrastructure, the pact centers on pre-packaged blocks of hardware and software, dubbed Vblocks. EMC said that VCE demand was up 30% year-over-year in the company's third quarter. Like many tech companies, though, EMC has been feeling the strain of a tough economy, dipping below analysts' estimates in its third-quarter results last month (its first notable consensus miss in almost four years). The company's status as a Wall Street darling, however, remains untarnished. "EMC has executed solidly on its long-term strategy with the result that the company's leadership in storage hardware and software seems virtually unassailable," said Charles King, principal analyst at tech research firm Pund-IT. Most notably, he added, EMC's majority ownership of virtualization software giant VMware continues to reap dividends. VMware's the jewel in EMC's crown. Despite the global spending slowdown, the software maker still grew its third-quarter revenue 20% compared to the same period last year. VMware accounted for just over 21% of EMC's third-quarter revenue. EMC also has a slew of new products looming on the horizon, including Project Thunder and Project X, two devices exploiting high-performance Flash storage. The company's also planning to ship the new operating system for its Isilon network-attached storage devices, dubbed Mavericks, before the end of the year, and expects to launch new RSA security products in early 2013. "This is a $20 billion annual revenue company that I think can continue to grow double digits on the top line for the next several years," added ISI Group's Brian Marshall. "I think that they can grow earnings faster than revenue." Boosted by cloud, virtualization and the ongoing need to store data, EMC looks set for a strong 2013. "You can't put storage spending off for that long," said Topeka Capital Markets' White. "I think EMC's a good one." TheStreet Ratings has a 'buy' rating on EMC. -- Written by James Rogers in New York. Follow @jamesjrogers >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

While some phones from particular networks would require you to flash it so the SIM will work, the best thing to perform is to buy a receptive network phone or get it opened by a mobile phone technician.

"My worst nightmare"
The absolutely worst I ve ever tried. HORRIBLE taste, tunneling burn, not one in the bundle was anything I would smoke if I got them for nothing. They should not be selling this junk.They should be embarassed.Mel Hurst in Ephrata, Pennsylvania November 8, 2013
by far the worst cigar,out of 40 cigars they all tunneled and burned down on side. Don t waste your money.Mike in Florida October 21, 2013
"Terrible burn"
EVERY ONE OF THESE TUNNELED! Don't waste your money.dmack in Colorado July 28, 2013
The draw is way too easy for lack of even rolling - it's like having a wind tunnel in your mouth. That combined with a horribly uneven burn that kept going out! made it un smokable. Anyone want 24 more. A waste at any price. And it was recommended by the phone aide which iIm not to happy about.Barry in Sea Cliff NY May 11, 2013
"Great before, okay now"
I've enjoyed these for years. Initially they were an excellent smoke for the bucks. Recently it seems quality has suffered (see other reviews). I still buy, but looking for an alternative.Russ in July 30, 2012
"Not Very Good"
I bought a bundle of this brand. Smoked a few of them. The first problem was the burn was horrible. And the last one I smoked just flat went out. But The saying goes you get what you pay for.John in Bowie July 12, 2010
"VERY Poor cigar, Burns down side if it even stays"
This is definately the very worse cigar that I've purchased from Famous. Burns down the sides or tunnels. Very hard to stay lit and tastes horrible. I gave them away after trying 3 or 4.Bruce in Connecticut April 26, 2010
"well made"
I purchased la Floridita for the price I opened one and it looked almost fake it was perfectly wrapped it lit well burned long and tasted great. I will buy these againLee in Philadelphia, Pa. October 23, 2009
If you like Garcia Y Vega, these are at about that level. Sometime the cigar is smoke-able but at other times they taste like tree bark. You get what you pay for.Rod in Homestead Pa July 24, 2009
"Don't waste your money or your time."
I bought a bundle of maduro Corona Gigantes and the flavor is ok, buy I spent all my time correcting the burn on these things. Not a single cigar had a burn even remotely close to even.T. in Houston, September 5, 2008

Sephora Hello Kitty Hand Held Mirror Review
Sunday, January 23, 2011
The packaging is white with a large metallic-like large Hello Kitty face and numerous small faces in the background. This is consistent thorough the entire collection.
The length is 10 inches, 6.5 inches at its widest point, and the mirror is a 5.5 inch oval shape. It is also manufactured in China.
In the box, you'll find the mirror in a plastic cover and bubble wrap. It is shiny, metallic-like but is made out of plastic. Below is the back side of the mirror where you can see her face with a lovely bow. I took these pictures in dark lighting but the actual color is a very light silver, not a dark metallic like below.
The backside is a normal oval shape mirror below her ears. I say normal because it's not a zoomed in or 5/8X mirror.
Although the product is made out of plastic, it definitely does not feel flimsy or cheap. I like how it weighs just right, not too heavy or too light. The side view of the mirror shows you how thick it is for a better idea. This is also the most accurate color of the mirror.
I think the hand held mirror is very well made because of the intricate details added to the bow. It's not a flat surface, but a diamond cut to give the edges an almost 3D effect. Simply beautiful.
Here are images of the hand held mirror in better lighting to reflect the true colors. I can hold it comfortably without the length being too short or too long. The only thing you have to worry about this mirror are fingerprints. They are definitely noticeable because of the silver color.
The mirror is a very glossy silver and may look slippery but it really isn't.
Couple more shots for eye candy ;) Sometimes I think I may be too old for Hello Kitty but applaud Sephora for making the mirror in this beautiful shiny silver color. Although it is made out of plastic, it's a very grown-up mirror that even ladies over 20 can use without feeling too juvenile!
When I look in the mirror, I can see most of my face plus some background on the side. This is great for checking your makeup in natural lighting, eyebrow grooming, or simple makeup application.
Overall, I really like the Hello Kitty hand held mirror. I think is is chic and well designed in terms of length, weight, and size. Some minor setbacks are the fingerprint impressions and the fact that it's made out of plastic. You will have to be careful not to bang this on corners or rough surfaces because it will get scratched. I do wish the price would be a bit lower but since it is a collectible item that's rather well-made, I can understand why it's slightly higher.
Bottom line: If you're a Hello Kitty collector, definitely don't ignore this unless you want to pay outrageous prices on EBAY later. If you're on a budget, I would still recommend checking this out at a local counter. Out of the 3 items that I purchased, this is my favorite product as it is the most impressive.
Is the hand held mirror a yay or nay for you?

That mirror is so cute! I agree with you and am happy they didn't make it out of plastic. It looks a little more grown-up (not like you have a kiddie toy mirror) with the silver, I think.

I like the mirror, what were your thoughts on the makeup? It didn't thrill me online so I didn't bother with it..was expecting more I think. I also liked the rhinestone compact as well...I always pick the most expensive items in a collection!!!

- Kristie said...
NYC - I checked out some of the makeup but wasn't impressed with the quality. The eyeshadows are ok but the lip products are sticky/sheer. I also think the quality of the makeup didn't justify the high prices :)

Flint, Michigan – February 20, 2014 – The Flint Police Department is crediting information provided by the public in leading to the timely resolution of two recent criminal incidents. In each case, members of the community chose to get involved in the best way possible to help police. One incident involved the real time sharing of information through social media, while the other involved a combination of being in the right place, at the right time and doing the right thing.
The first incident happened on Saturday, February 15, 2014, when day shift Officer H. Green took a vehicle theft complaint from an address on Davison Rd. where a suspect or suspects stole a pickup truck. The victim posted the theft on his Facebook page. On Sunday, February 16, 2014 at around 8:48pm, Officers Surface and Balasko received a call to the area of Iowa St. and Broadway in reference to the stolen vehicle. The caller, who wished to remain anonymous, was a Facebook friend of the victim. The caller reported seeing the vehicle in that area, but officers were not able to locate it.
Approximately ten minutes later, another call came into dispatch in reference to the same vehicle. The second caller reported seeing the vehicle in the area of Taylor St. and Martin Luther King Ave. and was also a Facebook friend of the victim, which was how they were able to identify the vehicle. Officers spotted the vehicle in the area and stopped it in the 300 block of E. Jackson. Two subjects were placed under arrest for the stolen vehicle and, subsequently, for being in possession of crack cocaine, which added VCSA charges to one of the suspects in the vehicle. It is apparent from the sequence of events that the real-time information gathered from members of the public which was then shared with the Flint Police Department has brought a swift resolution to the situation and the ensuing confiscation of
illegal drugs.
In a second incident which happened on Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 9:12pm, a Flint Police cruiser in the area of Pierson and Fleming roads was flagged down by a passerby in reference to a man with a gun. Officers spotted the suspect with a gun holding five victims at gunpoint and placed him under arrest. The suspect was arrested on charges of felony domestic assault, five counts of felonious assault, six counts of felony firearm and criminal sexual conduct. Two guns were collected as evidence and the suspect was lodged in the Flint City Lockup. As a direct result of citizen involvement and the presence of the officer in the area, five victims were rescued from further potential harm.
"The fast settlement of both incidents came as the direct result on citizens getting involved and sharing information with the police," said Police Chief James Tolbert. "When the public acts as our eyes and ears in the community, we can more effectively deal with crimes as they happen. It is the hope of the Flint Police Department to expand on the success of this form of information gathering in the future."
Emergency Manager Darnell Earley credited the Chief for his staunch support of community involvement. "This is the model of effective police work for urban core cities such as Flint," said Earley. "When the community becomes actively involved in their own safety by relaying information to the police, then the work of the police is expedited more efficiently and the level of service rises. This model should be the norm we strive for as a city."
The Flint Police Department asks that residents continue to be vigilant in reporting criminal tips to them, either by anonymously calling 1-800-SPEAK-UP or by calling 911 during emergencies. Residents can also use the online citizens' police reporting system known as COPLOGIC on the City of Flint's website: www.cityofflint.com.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Langlois Hotel
Loved Itfrom DKiely
Hotel is well located also within a 2 mins walk of a metro stop and less than 10 mins from the main shopping district (Printemps etc)
very good but be awarefrom SwanseaBoy68
Breakfast was disappointing - we weren't expecting a lot and that's what we got.If your idea of variety is the number of different jams then it's fine, but we thought 8.20euros was steep for cornflakes / mini pastries and bread rolls.
If (like us) you're "Easyjetting" from Liverpool to Charles-de-Gaulle,save yourself some grief by catching the Roissybus which stops right outside Terminal 3 - it costs around 8 euros one way and stops at the Opera, which is only 10 minutes walk away from the hotel.Operates every 12 minutes and is very quick and easy - was faster than the RER which involves a train change at Gare Du Nord.
At 89 euros for the double room and the central location this is a good choice - bear in mind that the most expensive room in the hotel is only 132 euros and it may be worth splashing out that little bit more !
Lived up to expectationfrom A TripAdvisor Member
After consulting TripAdvisor.com, we found the hotel website and were a little bit worry about no A/C in Summer at first. However, the rooms look so great in the website that we couldn't help making our reservation. We were happy with our decision. Room #33 (Euro 89) was not as colourful as it looks like in the website (pictures always look better) but was spacious and quiet. Temp at night was cool and it's OK to use fan. Bathroom was spacious, clean and tidy (no smelly mould).
The lift was old and small but functioning well and we loved it. Atmosphere is the charm of this hotel. We still haven't watched the file 'Charade, The Truth about Charlie'.
My favourite hotel in Parisfrom lynnP
Although it's in a really touristy area, it is still very central, and just a few minutes walk from the department stores and the Opera.
I'll definitely be going back this Christmas - I love this hotel.
Hotel Langlois is a great valuefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Mixed Feelingsfrom Travel57
Stay here!from A TripAdvisor Member
An excellent hotel for a short break in Paris, with a good location close to the Opera and Gallerie Layfayette. The rooms are spacious with antique furniture and paintings. We had a top floor room with a rooftop view. Very nice! We could see the spires of Sacre-Coeur which was very romantic and atmospheric! The cafes nearby are very adequate for meals and much cheaper than those nearer the sights. The hotel staff were friendly but we found that only one spoke English well enough to help/ recommend restaurants etc. Would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again.
A Great Hotel.from A TripAdvisor Member
We were very pleased that we did. The hotel was exactly as other customers had described it. The staff were friendly and courteous; the room was spacious and spotlessly clean; the breakfast was great; the hotel itself has a lovely atmosphere and it's just a short walk from the Trinité d'Estienne d'Orves métro stop.
We have since recommended the hotel to several of our friends, some of whom had rather grim stories to tell of other hotels!
In addition to the hotel itself, we found the reviews on this site to be really helpful. We won't be booking another hotel without consulting this site first!
locationfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The Bees Knees.from Risky Aer
Good matter of fact service with no obsequiousness or indifference and really athmospheric room (64,on top of the house with Sacre Coeur visible in the early morning sunshine above the surrounding rooftops).
If anybody is used to the US style chain hotels then the Hotel de Langlois is NOT for you, but if its individualism at an affordable rate then it should be near the top of any consideration list.
Downsides...... While breakfast is a good buffet spread, the FRESH fruit is in fact processed from a tin stuff.
If U can live with that then away you go....
I certainly would stay here again.
Top Local Tips for Paris
Good dine places Aux Lyonnais - celebrated chef Alain Ducasse's bistro, Evi Evance - Greek-French mmm... yummy!, Leon de Bruxelles - reasonable
Carte D'Orange and the Metro If you are in good health and staying at this hotel, you are better off walking where possible and buying the 10 Carnet Metro Tickets for €10 for use when tired. We didn't get full use of the Carte D'Orange on this trip. When walking, you also see more and get a better perspective on Paris. The main tourist sights are all within a couple of square miles. For example, each morning we set off on foot and walked to the Eiffel Tower or Louvre or Musee D'Orsay or the Marais, etc..

National initiatives to reduce veteran homelessness
Updated On: Dec 11 2012 11:39:27 AM EST
The Obama administration is unveiling new statistics aimed to end veteran homelessness by 2015.
The number of ex-servicemen living on the streets is down by 7 percent this year, but homeless advocates say they are seeing an alarming rise in the number of younger homeless veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Homeless vets are getting younger," said Dawn Gilman, of the Homeless Coalition in Jacksonville.
It's something Gilman has a close eye on in the River City -- younger veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan living on the streets.
The U.S. Department of Housing announced a decline in homeless numbers overall, but advocates say still much more needs to be done.
"Many of the veterans returning from Iraq or Afghanistan have PTSD or the closed head injury that makes that similar to someone who has some mental health issues," Gilman said. "They need more assistance getting those issues under control."
On a single night in January, 62,619 veterans were homeless. That's a decrease by 17.2 percent since January 2009. Advocates are counting on more progress next year.
Gilman and other advocates point to a number of newer strategies focused around housing, aimed at making sure the homeless have options that work, including a $60 million rapid rehousing initiative by the U.S. Department of Veterans affairs and a HUD-VA partnership giving eligible veterans vouchers.
Gilman said not only are homeless veterans younger, their overall demographic is changing.
"We are seeing more women, families, and that's the changing face of homelessness on the veterans side and the general population," Gilman said.

Name that airport ... (Cape Girardeau)
- UPDATE (1 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 15): The airport shown in this week's photo is Missouri's Cape Girardeau Regional Airport.
Congratulations to reader kljones45 for being the first to correctly identify the airport.
The photo came courtesy of The Associated Press (Jeff Roberson).
Check back on Friday at 12:10 p.m. ET for the next photo.
- UPDATE (12:05 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Sept. 14): For the second time in three weeks, no reader has submitted a correct guess for the weekly"name that airport" photo.
So, I'll extended the guess window and throw in a clue. The airport shown is an Essential Air Service airport, though Great Lakes no longer flies to that airport. Its service was replaced by Cape Air in late 2009.
I'll post the answer on Wednesday around noon ET.
- ORIGINAL POST (12:10 p.m. ET on Friday, Sept. 10): Here is this week's "name that airport" photo.
