Short sales continue to increase despite the seeming rebound in housing markets across America. According to RealtyTrac, short sales and foreclosures comprised of 16.2 percent of U.S. home sales in 2013. This was up from 2012, when 14.5 percent of home sales were short sales and foreclosures.
In a short sale, the mortgage lender agrees to let a homeowner accept an offer for their home that's less than the amount owed on the loan. The bank takes all the proceeds, but the seller walks away with the remaining debt forgiven.
Choosing to go that route will put a serious dent in your credit score, but it's not a fiscal death sentence. You can rebuild your credit and your finances after a short sale.
Immediately After a Short Sale of Your Home
In many cases, banks and lenders view a short sale as the equivalent to a foreclosure. Credit bureaus and future lenders consider it similarly to a default on your mortgage. The three major credit bureaus list it on your credit reports for seven years, but you can take steps immediately after a short sell to help restore your financial profile.
"You should regularly pull your free credit reports through AnnualCreditReport.com," says Todd Christensen, director of education for the National Financial Education Center. "For someone who is rebuilding their credit, they could consider accessing one of their three available reports every four months in order to check for accuracy in addition to any unfamiliar or fraudulent activity."
Another critical task is to ensure that your loan balance has been forgiven. If it hasn't been, you could find a collection company coming after you. Be aware, you also must claim the forgiven debt as income when you next file taxes.
Building and rebuilding credit is like the fable of the tortoise and the hare: Slow and steady wins the race. The short sale has less of an impact on your credit score each year after the event. [click to continue…]

The Humble Bundle for PC and Mobile 11 was already a good deal with 10 total games if you paid $11 or more, but the deal is getting even good-er now that three more games have been added. The new arrivals are Quest of Dungeons, Don't Move, and Space Chem. If you already bought the bundle, check your download link. The new titles should already be there. As for everyone else, we have some codes to give away.
Welcome to the roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Play Store or were spotted by us in the previous 2 weeks or so.

Goat Simulator
Android Police coverage: [MMMBBBAAA] Goat Simulator Arrives On Android In All Its Buggy, Insane, Physics-Defying Glory
The king of kook, the duke of deranged, the national champion of nonsensical, Goat Simulator is simultaneously a free-roaming absurdity of a game and a conceptual rebuke of the Boring Stuff Simulator 2014 genre.
The Fire Phone is reportedly selling very poorly, but surely this will get things back on track. Amazon has released two new games (sort of) that include support for Dynamic Perspective on the Fire Phone. They're both free... if only you had a Fire Phone.
Getting tired of easy mobile games? Think you can handle swinging between soaring victory and crushing defeat? Then perhaps you are ready to experience Cardinal Quest 2, the newest Roguelike RPG to hit the Play Store. Take control of one of six different characters and see how far you can make it before dying a horrible death.
Roguelike games are characterized by turn-based combat, simple graphics, randomly generated levels, and permanent death.
The Humble people are on a roll. In addition to the Humble Bundle for PC and Android 11 announced just yesterday, they've launched a new Android-only bundle for cash-strapped gamers to enjoy. (You don't have to be cash-strapped, I suppose you might just be cheap and altruistic.) Bundle 8 includes seven games at the moment, with two being "above the average price" purchases and a third unlocking at a reasonable $5.
The newest Humble Bundle is out and it's a big one. Humble Bundle for PC and Android 11 includes a whopping ten games right now, with more coming soon. All the titles are available on PC/Mac/Linux and Android with no DRM. There are also Steam keys for most platforms. All you have to do is decide how much to pay.
The Anomaly games gained attention not only because they are staggeringly gorgeous, but because the gameplay was a clever twist on the age-old tower defense genre. Past games had you playing as the creeps fighting through the towers, but Anomaly Defenders is more traditional—you're in control of the towers, but it's the humans you're fighting, not aliens.

Running, jumping, shooting—these are the sorts of things you'd expect in a mobile game. Coding? Eh, less so. That's what makes Hacked so interesting. This game, created by Joaquim Verges (Falcon Pro dev) and Fabien Devos, is built around a programming language (H) and a mobile friendly code editor (the Hackpad). You play the game by creating and running simple programs, so a little coding experience is needed to get the most out of it.

Angry Birds creator Rovio to expand to Sweden
In a recent announcement pertaining to its expansion plans, Angry Birds creator Rovio Entertainment said that it has plans underway to spread out to Sweden, with the opening of a new development studio in Stockholm.
Going by the disclosure by Petri Järvilehto – the executive vice president of games at Ravio -, the company was "excited" at the prospect of expanding to Stockholm, Sweden, as the move will give it an opportunity to work in one of the "gaming and innovation hotspots" in Europe.
In fact, with the company's expansion move to Sweden already on the cards, it is looking for a suitable general manager to handle the proceedings at the new office.
In addition, with Ravio also reportedly planning to employ 20 to 30 workers within a span of one year, Järvilehto said that the company is "constantly on the lookout for great new talent"; and added that the year 2012 has all indications of turning out to be "a big year in gaming" for the company.
Already, Ravio appears to be in the thick of great things this year --- its March 22-launched Angry Birds Space version has been downloaded more than 10 million times within three days of its launch; and the company, earlier this week, completed the acquisition of Finland-based developer Futuremark Games Studio - the studio behind the creation of PC zero gravity FPS Shattered Horizon, and the Unstoppable Gorg title for the iPad, PC and Mac.

Sonia Rykiel Spring 2013 | Runway
Sonia Rykiel Spring 2013
April Crichton is set to leave Sonia Rykiel now that Geraldo da Conceicao has been appointed creative director — but before she started packing up her desk, she created a final collection that helps herald a new direction for the French house.
While Crichton didn't exactly abandon Rykiel's signatures, she did set them aside momentarily to consider something more Japanese than French. There were kimono shapes and allusions to the obi belt sprinkled generously throughout, along with splotches of color applied like dollops of blue whipped cream to a jumpsuit and dress. And what of Rykiel's iconic knitwear? Crichton deconstructed it slightly, leaving the weave open in places on a shirt and skirt in mint green and a poncho in gentle pink.

The parades have been held in continuity since 1824; however, St. Patrick's Day itself has been celebrated in Montreal as far back as 1759 by Irish soldiers in the Montreal Garrison following the British conquest of New France.
In Canada, Saint Patrick's Day is an official holiday only in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
In the City of Toronto from 1919 to 1927, the Toronto Maple Leafs were known as the Toronto St. Patricks, and wore green jerseys. In 1999 when the Leafs played on Hockey Night in Canada (national broadcast of the NHL) on St. Patrick's Day, the Leafs wore the green St. Pats retro jersey.
Although the baseball season is still in the spring training phase when St. Patrick's Day rolls around, the Toronto Blue Jays wear green uniforms for the occasion.

Mon. Oct. 12
The history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. He did not succeed but he did establish a settlement in Canada. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered the first Canadian Thanksgiving, and the first Thanksgiving to have taken place in North America.
Sat. Oct. 31

When I first started at DealBreaker, I realized quickly that there were a few things you could always count on. You could count on Goldman to be the best, its hedge funds not included. You could count on commenters to never shut the fuck up about totally insignificant errors in grammar and punctuation that they were only pointing out so as to feel good about themselves on an anonymous message board for two seconds as a result of their obviously unparalleled "gotcha!" skills. You could count on quant models to always beat the market. And you could count on a young man, a dancer and a banker, named Eugene Plotkin, who took in more than $6.7 million in an insider trading scheme that was hatched at a Russian bathhouse and included a Merrill Lynch junior analyst, a 63-year old retired Croatian underwear seamstress, an exotic dancer and two former employees from the Wisconsin branch of a BusinessWeek printing press, to claim that he was completely innocent. Today that faith was broken.
The former Goldman Sachs associate pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy and eight counts of insider trading. Plotkin's crimes carry a maximum penalty of 165 years in prison, though under the terms of a plea agreement, he only faces 5 years and 11 months (and will also have to turn over the $6.7). Sentencing takes place on November 30. Plotkin told U.S. Magistrate Judge Debra Freeman, "I understand what I did was wrong and against the law" and said he was "deeply sorry" for his "intent to perpetrate a fraud upon the investing public." He said nothing about robbing us of our ability to ever believe again.

Giving Poster Boy For Insider Trading An Entirely More Boring Meaning
By Bess LevinWe've been sitting around the office for the better part of the morning trying to figure something out. No, not, "Did Carney's beard add gravitas to his appearance on CNBC or did it just make the whole operation look like b-roll from Court TV?"—though that question has been plaguing us for some time.
What we're wrestling with this a.m. is the latest insider trading extravaganza and, you know, how it makes us feel. Because that's how we analyze things around here: from the heart and without reason.
First off, it's become readily apparent to us that everyone covering the story got together and said, let's really drive home the Boesky connection. And not that we're not always up for connections but the thing is—we'e already lived through the whole Boesky deal. Or at least JC has, and I got myself up to speed a few years later with Michael Douglas's take on the situation. Illegal tips. Egos. Russians. Blah. Blah. Blah. It's all the same. History repeats itself and that's why history is boring.
Whatever happened to past performance not guaranteeing future results? These days it's just all past performance performing the past again. We read all the hype over this insider trading scandal and feel like we've got a cousin in town who is totally excited to see Phantom of the Opera for the seventh time.
When the Plotkin case came along, now that got us excited.
A. There was a ballet dancer involved
B. The groundwork for the scheme was laid out at Spa 88—schvitzing and blintzing and insider trading, oh my!
Now, what it is what is is. And what is is a bunch of middle-aged men getting together at Oyster Bar in freaking Grand Central Station to lay out their plan for world domination to repay someone a measly $25,000. (Also: Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station? What, the Houlihan's at Penn wasn't good enough for them?). And here's the best part of it—a few of the guys involved have already pleaded guilty! Snore. Even Boesky and Milken put up a fight, for a bit.
No courtroom drama, no character witnesses suddenly gone missing the night before they're supposed to testify, no stern looking prosecutors with grating voices and cute names like Rudy.
At least Shpigelman was man (or boy) enough to entertain us with the argument that he did what he did because of "false promises, deception, intimidation and flattery." Okay, that's a little girly. Makes him sound like a girl waking up in the DTD house and regretting that those last four shots of Peach Schnapps made Brian looks kind of like he might be a good boyfriend. But you get our point.
It'd be wishful thinking on all of our parts to assume that any of these newbies will do anything but lie back and take it. Perhaps the one saving grace in the whole profoundly underwhelming deal (that's right—we found it necessary, nay, irresponsible-not-to, qualify the 'underwhelming') is that "the case was so complex that the United States attorney in Manhattan, Michael J. Garcia, yesterday used a large poster board to explain the inner workings."
A poster board!

The Century's Big Insider-Trading Bust [Business Week]
Feds Charge 14 in Insider Scheme [thestreet.com]
Despite telling U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas that he was "sorry" for leaking somewhat important information to Goldman Sachs employees Eugene "Dance like nobody's watching" Plotkin and David Pajcin, former Merrill Lynch analyst Stanislave Shpigelman will soon be heading to the big house for three years and one month. Shpigelman admitted that while working in Merrill's M&A division, he took part in "a scheme that used gabby investment bankers and leaked copies of a market-moving magazine," facilitating others in making in excess of $6.7 million between October 2004 and August 2005. Impressively trumping the fact that the judge felt the need to note that he doled out the sentence with "a 'heavy heart' because Shpigelman had one of the nicest families he had ever known," is the fact that Shpigelman was recruited for the scheme by Plotkin and Pajcin "in a meeting at Club 88, a Manhattan day spa and Russian sauna," according to the S.E.C.

Plotkin Plot Update:Jason Smith Puts Tinge on Goldman Sachs' Red Letter Day
By Bess LevinLately, you can't pick up a newspaper go online without reading about how great Goldman Sachs is. Goldman Sachs has the best bonuses! Goldman Sachs' fourth-quarter profit practically doubled! Goldman Sachs employs 83 and 47%, respectively, of the men and women who belong to my temple. Goldman Sachs this. Goldman Sachs that. It's not like we don't love ourselves some good GS now and then, it's just that their "Everything Is Coming Up Roses!" campaign was starting to get into our craw, a little bit, of late. Which is why we'd be lying if we said it wasn't a little gratifying to learn that former NJ postal worker Jason Smith was just sentenced to 33 months in a federal prison for his role in the "worldwide insider trading ring orchestrated by the former Goldman Sachs employees, David Pajcin and Eugene ["twinkle toes"] Plotkin." It's not like Lloyd Blankfein's going to lose sleep over this. But it might just spoil his 4 o'clock cavier snack and cat nap, just a smidge. We'll take what we can get.

36 elementary schools in the UK will teach their students about gay and lesbian rights and stamp out anti-gay language
36 UK schools have vowed to stamp out homophobia in schools, by signing up to a scheme to teach their pupils about LGBTI values.
The group of elementary schools in and around Birmingham, UK have pledged to stamp out homophobic bullying with a new range of teaching materials called CHIPS - Challenging Homophobia in Primary Schools.
The CHIPS programme is used in 36 elementary schools and was created by Andrew Moffat, who authored a series of books used as resources to teach children about the LGBTI community.
A 24-year-old needed a metal plate inserted into his face to fix his broken jaw
Manchester police are looking for a man in connection with an anti-gay attack at the weekend.
A gay rugby player suffered a broken jaw while he was promoting his team in the northern English city's main gay village, Canal Street.
At around 9pm, four men shouted homophobic abuse at the 24-year-old player. One of them then punched him in the face.
Police have released a CCTV image, hoping people will come forward with more information about the attack.
The victim needed surgery to repair a broken jaw.
'When I think of Russia I think of the secret gay house parties I have been to kissing boys drunk on vodka and caviar'
Transgender rapper Mykki Blanco has penned a love letter to Russia after she was forced to change venue due to a police raid.
Police closed the Solyanka club in Moscow on Friday (14 November), hours before she was scheduled to perform there.
Fans speculated that Blanco had fallen foul of Russia's gay 'propaganda' law but she said the timing was coincidental.
Blanco is the transgender stage persona of Michael Quattlebaum Jr but he identifies as a gay man.
Ahead of the UK"s Anti-Bullying Week, teacher Allie George says that even kids who normally recognize homophobia can still sometimes use inappropriate language
Mark* has just handed me his English coursework: a compelling speech on homophobia, and how he cannot fathom such attitudes of bigotry and hatred in 2014.
Now, Mark is sat sheepishly in front of me, having been kept behind for yelling, "Oi, f*****t" at his friend.
'It's just a thing they say to each other,' he says by way of defense. He's not homophobic. It's 'banter'. Like swearing, 'it's okay when it's at a mate.'
Nearly 9 in 10 teachers say homophobic bullying happens in their schools
Nearly nine in 10 secondary school teachers in Scotland say homophobic bullying happens in their school.
The shocking YouGov survey, commissioned by Stonewall Scotland, also revealed a third of teachers hear homophobic language from other staff.
Many assume they are not allowed to talk about LGBTI issues with students, with only 16% saying they have had specific training to tackle homophobic bullying.
British columnist claims Woman and Equalities Minister Nicky Morgan is 'inadequate'
The Daily Mail's notorious columnist Richard Littlejohn has written an article claiming those who try to stop bullying of gay teens are 'diversity Nazis'.
The 60-year-old has criticized Education Secretary Nicky Morgan for her decision to pledge £2 million to fight homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying in British schools.
Nicky Morgan has revealed a £2 million package for charities to come up with ideas to tackle homophobia
The UK government has pledged to spend more on tackling homophobic bullying today (29 October).
Nicky Morgan, the Secretary of State for Education and Minister for Women and Equalities, announced the government will be offering a £ 2 million ($3.23 million, €2.53 million) package.
The government is hoping for charitable and not-for-profit organizations to come forward with creative ideas to help stamp out homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying in British schools.
As part of Hate Crime Awareness Week, pupils at Sheringham High School road tested a new 'Stop Homophobic Bullying' education pack
Pictured here are Year 8 pupils at Sheringham High School in Norfolk, England. To coincide with Hate Crime Awareness Week, the students took part in a pilot scheme last week for a new education pack to tackle homophobic bullying.
The resource, entitled Stop Homophobic Bullying, was created by the county's BLAH LGBTI Youth group – which has been providing support for young lesbian, gay and bisexual people in the Norfolk area since 2007.
Police are investigating whether the 18-year-old's death was a homophobic hate crime
An 18-year-old, openly gay man has been found murdered in Brazil after what is believed to be a homophobic attack.
It's been reported the body of João Antônio Donati was discovered yesterday (10 September) in a vacant lot in the Brazilian city of Inhumas, in the state of Goiás. His neck had been broken and his mouth stuffed with paper.
Eighteen-year-old João Antônio Donati was gay and working at a local bar. Police are investigating the possibility that he was murdered in a homophobic hate crime.
Judge said while the attack was 'vile and vicious', the attack was not motivated by homophobia
A man will be jailed for two years and four months after spraying six people with a 'noxious substance' in a homophobic attack.
Jonathan Lynn, 29, emptied the contents of a plastic bottle over a group of young gay friends in Vauxhall, London.
Several of the victims reported feeling like their 'faces were melting', they thought they were going to die, and it caused ulcers on their eyes and mouths. One victim could have very easily had his vision permanently damaged.
A 31-year-old pleaded guilty to four counts of ABH, two counts of common assault and possessing a weapon for discharge of noxious liquid
A man who sprayed six people with a 'noxious substance in a homophobic attack' is facing jail.
Jonathan Lynn, 31, sprayed a man in the face outside Lightbox, a gay club in Vauxhall, South London.
The victim Parish Frith spoke to two women who he alleged yelled homophobic abuse at him. When Lynn approached the group and said he was with the two women, he told Frith to 'go away, we don't like gays'.
When Frith retorted, Lynn sprayed the liquid in his face causing burns and ulcers on his eyes.
LGBTI African Americans are particularly vulnerable to suicide and it's time to start talking about why
When the first news reports of Robin Williams' death hit the media, few questioned the report that one of the world's most beloved comedians had committed suicide.
This reaction stands in stark contrast to the reaction to the 2012 news of the death of Soul Train creator Don Cornelius. Cornelius was found dead in his home after committing suicide with a firearm. Many African Americans believed Cornelius must have been murdered by an intruder, even after the official report.
New Stonewall chief, Ruth Hunt, has spoken about the organisation's future plans to tackle homophobia in schools
In one of her first major interviews since becoming the new chief of UK-based LGBT rights charity, Stonewall, Ruth Hunt has said that she believes educating pre-primary school children that families come in all shapes and sizes – including single and same-sex parents – is vital in helping to tackle homophobia.
Speaking to The Independent newspaper, she said that she wants Stonewall to commission books 'celebrating difference in all its forms for under-fives.'

Britain's Education and Equalities minister, Nicky Morgan, has appointed a current staffer from gay charity Stonewall as her new special advisor.
Luke Tryl, was until 5pm today, head of education at Stonewall, the UK's leading gay rights organization.
But from Monday, he will start as special advisor to Morgan on equalities and education, Gay Star News can exclusively reveal.
Fewer than one in five secondary school teachers have received training on tackling homophobic bullying
Schoolteachers in the UK think they are banned from talking about homosexuality, a new report has revealed.
Two in five (37%) primary school teachers, and three in 10 (29%) think they are banned from teaching about lesbian, gay and bisexual people and issues.
This very well may be an echo of Section 28, a law instated by Margaret Thatcher's government that banned the discussion of LGBTI topics. It was repealed in 2000.
Even though the Netherlands is renowned for being legally gay-friendly, the victim believes his attack was 'inevitable'
A gay man has lost his hearing after being beaten up in Amsterdam.
Ronald, 25, who has asked to be anonymous, was walking with his boyfriend along the canal with his boyfriend on 12.30am on Sunday (15 June).
When four men, roughly in their 20s, spotted the two had their arms around each other they started yelling homophobic slurs.

Smile singer has got her eyes set on the If I Were A Boy performer
British pop star Lily Allen has joked she would happily turn gay for Beyonce.
The Smile singer has revealed she is a huge fan of the If I Were A Boy performer to The Sun.
'I'd turn for Beyonce,' she said.
'I think our kids would look really good together.'
It is not the first time Allen has revealed her love for the Queen Bey.
In April, she performed Beyonce's Drunk In Love when she took to the stage at London club G-A-Y.
She also references the star in her track, Sheezus.
Five college students, aged between 18 and 22, lured their 25-year-old victim on a gay dating site in an attempt to rob and extort money from him
A gay man in Russia was kidnapped at gunpoint and nearly died in a horrific homophobic attack, it was reported today (29 May).
A Chelyabinsk court heard how five college students, aged between 18 and 22, lured their 25-year-old victim on a gay dating site in an attempt to rob and extort money from him.
The students told the gay man they didn't want his money, but to 'cleanse the society of gays', according to the victim's testimony.
At gunpoint, they went in the victim's car to a nearby lake.
19 year-old Floyd Evans stabbed a gay man in the chest at a well-known meeting spot for gay men, which the judge condemned as a 'disgraceful' homophobic attack
A UK teen will serve a 14-year sentence for stabbing a gay man in the chest in a brutal homophobic attack (20 May).

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby says while he realises homosexuality is a 'divisive issue', schools should not turn a 'convenient blind eye' to prejudice
Church of England has revealed its plan to tackle homophobic bullying in schools.
Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, has told all Anglican schools in England the Bible should not be used to justify homophobic behavior.
While the guidance recognizes homosexuality is a 'divisive issue', schools should not turn a 'convenient blind eye' to prejudice.
A shocking survey reports how two in five transgender young people have tried to kill themselves, while 80% of gay teens are bullied
Two thirds of young gay people have considered suicide, while a shocking 80% have said they are bullied because of their sexuality.
New research has revealed a further 37% of gay 13-18 year-olds have attempted suicide as a result of bullying.
It is a similar, sad story for transgender teens. Two in five have tried to kill themselves, while a further 62% have considered suicide because of bullying.
For lesbians, two thirds of lesbians were bullied, and more than half contemplated suicide. 36% attempted it.
Christian pupils claimed homosexuality is offensive to their religion and decided to protest with anti-gay slogans
Two US students wore 'Gay is not ok' t-shirts in order to protest a LGBTI awareness day at school last week.
The seniors at Oregon City High School were told by administrative staff to remove their tops or turn them inside out, as other students found them offensive.
Other pupils of the school were celebrating the Day of Silence, a day where students take a silent vow in order to protest against homophobic bullying.
They said they did not care gay people found the t-shirts offensive, as 'gays' were offensive in their religion.
Floyd Evans met victim Francisco Nascimento at a local meeting point for gay men and viciously stabbed him in the heart after chatting to him
A British teenager has been convicted of stabbing a gay man in the heart, in a suspected homophobic attack.
Floyd Evans, 19, stabbed 35-year-old Francisco Nascimento from Brazil in the heart on 21 October 2013 in Cheshire, UK.

Front wobble
I just had a 3 inch body lift taken off my jeep and put a 2 bb and 1 body on it. Now when I come to a complete stop then push the gas it takes off and wobbles a little. It seems like it's coming from the front passenger side. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Thanks

I have never got any more that 40-45 minutes of film on a 2GB card. And the battery has never lasted more than 80, usually about 70-75 minutes for the battery. And yes there is a facility to take pictures. But why not just take video and then extract one frame and use that as your picture.

Can you read number plates with this camera? How good is the detail? How does it fare at night time or when the light levels are lower? Everything else about the product looks awesome. Thanks

It's actually very poor quality video - 640 X 480 which was the standard nearly ten years ago. There are better cameras (720p HD) for sale on eBay for �8.00.

Andy ! This was a really fantastic review which I found useful and informative. I simply do not understand people who review audio visual gear and cannot be a**ed to post a video which allows us to show/hear what they are talking about. Thank you for taking the time and trouble : it is appreciated. Now, my friend, in certain quarters, motorbikes are identified as TDS The acronym stands for Transplant Delivery System Take care!

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Now that you've seen how to create work planes and understand how they can benefit the part design process, it's time to step back and focus on how to create those work planes. And in this video specifically, we're going to focus on creating an offset work plane. We're going to show how to do it by selecting it from the menu and I'm going to show you a tip on creating them from within the Sketch command. To create an offset work plane, you need to go to the 3D Model tab, to the Work Features panel. And, what you'll see here is all the different work features that can be created in Inventor's part modeling environment.
We're going to focus on the plane here, and you'll notice that it's the largest of the buttons in this panel. And, the reason for that is it's the work feature you're going to use most frequently. You'll use it when you're mirroring features, you'll use it when you're creating the lofts, you'll use it when creating sweeps, and even other construction needs. The other thing you'll notice is that it's a split button. The top half is the default Plane command, and the bottom half is a drop-down menu that shows all the different types of work planes that you can create in Inventor. When selecting any of the planes other than the default plane at the top of the menu, Inventor's going to change the type of selections that are available based on the type of plane you selected.
For example, with an offset plane, we are going to need to select an existing plane on the model to create that plane from. Because we need to link it to a plane, Inventor is going to limit our selection capabilities down to only selecting planes. Unlike the next option, which is Parallel to a Plane through a Point, where Inventor will limit the selections to specific planes or points. Same with On an Edge. Depending on the type of plane you select, and again, Inventor's going to limit those selections to the type of input that's required to create that type of work plane.
We'll start with the offset plane. I'm going to rotate around to the backside of this model, and if I hover around the model you'll notice that I'm only able to select planes. That's because we picked Offset from a Plane. If I were to simply click on this plane, it would actually offset it at a distance of 0 and create it directly on that face. In this case, if you left-click and drag, what you'll find, is a heads-up display is presented where you can actually enter an exact value. In this case, I'll enter 0.5, the preview updates, and I can then click the green check box.
And if we look at it from the front view, you can see that the work plane is parallel to the plane we selected and it's offset at a distance of half an inch. I'm going to go back to that same view, but this time I'm going to undo the work plane that we just did. And the reason for that is I want to show you the shortcut to creating these. Often when creating an offset work plane, the reason you're doing that is because you want to sketch on that work plane. So to shortcut the creation process, Inventor has combined the Offset Work Plane capability into the Sketch capability.
If I create a new 2D sketch, again, I could pick any face to begin sketching on that face. Or, in this case, I know that I want to start sketching on an offset work plane that's a half-inch away from that face. So just like when I'm creating the work plane, I can left-click and drag, and Inventor will create a work plane for me during the Sketch command. You can see I get the same display. I dragged it out to half an inch. And if I clicked the green check box, I'm rotated into a sketch view, I'm entered into the Sketch tab, and, I'm actually sketching on that plane.
I can now go ahead and create, let's say, a basic circle shape. I can finish my sketch, and you can see that I've created that 2D sketch on a work plane that's offset from that face. The reason I would do that, is for example to create a loft. And you don't need to understand how to create the loft yet, we'll cover that in a later movie, but I can select the edge I want to loft the first profile from, and then I can select the sketch I just created. And you can see I've created a feature that transitions from a rectangle to a circle.
Hopefully that tip will save you a couple extra steps when creating some of those offset work planes.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals defense looking to become 'scary' in 2013
This time of year, it's not an overwhelming shock that the Arizona Cardinals defense is noticeably ahead of the offense.
What is somewhat surprising, however, is the level of dominance the unit -- especially the first-team -- has exhibited over the first two games of the preseason. In fact, until Gavin Escobar's touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter of Arizona's 12-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys Saturday, the Cardinals defense hadn't allowed a single point through the first 109 minutes and five seconds of live action in 2013.
"That's the emphasis you have any time you go into a preseason or regular season game, not to let the other team score," Darnell Dockett said. "But our biggest thing right now is taking care of each other and making sure we're doing the small things right. We're not going into a game looking for a shutout, we're looking for accountability. Every time we come in we just don't want to be that guy."
Given the influx of new players -- Jasper Brinkley, Jerraud Powers, Antoine Cason, Yeremiah Bell, Tyrann Mathieu, John Abraham, Alex Okafor, Matt Shaughnessy, Karlos Dansby, Lorenzo Alexander, Kevin Minter, Frustee Rucker, Javier Arenas, Tony Jefferson -- and a new defensive scheme under coordinator Todd Bowles, there was an expectation that several members of the defense would likely be 'that guy' at some point in the preseason.
Yet while a learning curve was to be expected, the Cardinals have shown few ill effects from their defensive transformation.
If anything, the defensive looks even more dynamic and opportunistic than the unit that forced the third-most takeaways in the NFC a season ago.
In their five-point victory over the Cowboys Saturday, Bruce Arians' squad forced six total turnovers, including one on special teams.
"I was really pleased with the way we took the ball away," Arians said. "We have eight takeaways in two games, it's something we can continue to build upon defensively."
While the Cowboys -- and in particular Dez Bryant, Lance Dunbar and Dwayne Harris -- were able to convert on several chunk plays, the Cardinals' defensive playmakers were never far behind.
In the second quarter alone, the team forced four turnovers, including a pair -- Powers' strip of Bryant after a 27-yard catch and Brinkley's recovery after a 43-yard catch by Dunbar -- that had far more to do with hustle and effort than being at the right place at the right time.
"I thought we did give up a few too many yards, but the main thing is if you can stop your opponent from scoring and create turnovers, you're going to put yourself in position to win a lot of ball games," said Powers. "We've been doing that the first two preseason games, but we can be better."
It might be hard to top eight turnovers in two games -- preseason or otherwise -- but as Powers noted after Saturday's game, the rewards they've reaped thus far are not a surprise to anyone on Bowles' defense. Given the personnel decisions made in the offseason and the level of physicality that has taken center stage through the first few weeks of training camp, it's almost expected.
"You've got guys like Tyrann [Mathieu], Patrick [Peterson] and Daryl Washington who are known for creating turnovers," said Powers. "If the pieces that we've added this offseason can build on that, then we can be a scary defense."

Review: Sauced BBQ & Spirits in Livermore
Lucky Livermore recently welcomed a new clubhouse for carnivores with the debut of Sauced BBQ and Spirits on First Street. The smell of smoked hickory and apple wood blasts outward as the door opens, beckoning diners like the cologne that Abercrombie pumps outside its storefront to lure in teenage shoppers. Sauced hostesses tell me they leave work every night with their hair redolent of barbecue, a scent most men probably secretly prefer anyway.
The smoky smell wafts from a giant smoker operated under the command of pit master Brenden Scanlon. Scanlon learned his craft as part of Atlanta's competitive barbecue circuit before he and his cousin, Tri-Valley native Barrett Gomes, made good on childhood conversations to open a restaurant together. Sauced is the pair's first stab at restaurant ownership, though on my visit it hardly seemed like rookies were running the show.

Covey turned struggles into Aflac All-American
Jim Ecker
Saturday, August 01, 2009
Dylan Covey had a disappointing 2-6 record when he was a freshman at Maranatha High School in Pasadena, Calif. Believe it or not, his struggles as a young pitcher two years ago helped make him an Aflac All-American today.
"When I was going into high school, there was a lot of hype about me," he said. "I kind of buckled under the pressure and didn't do that well."
Covey had been successful in youth baseball and some people naturally assumed he'd continue to dominate batters in high school, even though he was competing against players who were two and three years older. It didn't happen.
"It was tough," he said. "It was humbling. I didn't think I was the best, but everybody told me I should be winning all my games."
Covey learned a valuable lesson.
"OK," he remembers thinking, "it's not going to be given to me. I'll have to work for it."
That's exactly what he did. Covey fashioned an impressive 11-2 record this past season as a junior with a 1.60 ERA and 94 mph fastball. All that hype two years ago wasn't wrong, just a little premature.
He's been selected to play in the Aflac All-American High School Classic at PETCO Park in San Diego on Aug. 16, a convenient location because he's committed to playing college baseball at San Diego. "On the way down for the Aflac press conference we stopped at San Diego University, so that was cool," he said.
Covey watched the 2008 Aflac Classic at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Now he'll be on the field himself.
"I'm looking forward to it," he said. "It's going to be fun."
Covey took a break from baseball in late July for a vacation in the Yosemite Mountains in northern California.
"We're at a lake. Just hanging out," he reported. "We got to look over the Yosemite Valley. It was really nice."

There's more to cooking outside than just firing up the grill.
Try this ready-to-go grilling menu or tweak it your way.
Here are a few tips for successful--and safe--outdoor cooking.
Make sure everything else is ready before you put the food on the grill.
Lastly, put someone else in charge of setting the table, getting side dishes ready, herding children, and pouring drinks while you concentrate on the grill.
It comes down to this: Keep hot food hot and cold food cold.
Bacteria grows in food between the temperatures of 40 degrees F and 140 degrees F (4 degrees C to 60 degrees C), so don't leave perishable foods out for longer than two hours (this includes preparation time).
Also, ready-to-eat foods should never be placed on a plate that held raw meat.
Foods most prone to cause illness if left unrefrigerated are:
A cooler full of ice can keep all spoilable foods cold until they are ready to be cooked or eaten.
If possible, use two separate coolers--one for drinks and snacks, which people will be dipping into frequently, and a second one for meat and other dishes that will not be needed until it's time to sit down for the meal.
Keep ice for food separate from ice for drinks.
If you're serving snacks that will be sitting out for a while, stick to foods that don't need refrigeration such as veggie platters, fruit skewers, breads, and chips. Set sour cream or mayonnaise-based dips on a bed of ice out of direct sunlight.

Asher Kaufman: Only Russia, China Can Stop Carnage in Syria
Asher Kaufman is associate professor of history and peace studies and the director of doctoral studies at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame. Kaufman's research and writing focus on the history of conflict, national identity and society and culture in Syria, Lebanon and Israel. His latest book, "Contested Frontiers: Cartography, Sovereignty, and Conflict at the Syria, Lebanon, Israel Tri-Border Region," will be published in the spring of 2013 by the Woodrow Wilson Center Press.
(CNN) -- Some observers have been careful not to name the violence in Syria a civil war, lest it become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Well, the child has to be called by its name.
The violent turmoil has turned into an asymmetric civil war, where the Syrian military and pro-government militias on one hand and opposition forces on the other are using extreme violence, not only against each other but also against civilians suspected of being sympathetic to one camp or the other. The civil war is asymmetric because government forces are far better equipped, organized and mobilized than the opposition....
Given this bleak reality, the only way to put an end to the violence in Syria is by working with those who support al-Assad's regime from the outside. Russia and China need to be convinced that it is in their best interest to bring down the regime and that this is the only way to move forward in this crisis. Once this happens, Iran may also be willing to give up on its ally....
