May the New Year bring your health and prosperity to you and yours. Thanks for being a GREAT Gas Buddy!!
Wishing you a safe, warm & peaceful Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Happy Thanksgiving! May you have a Safe & Blessed holiday! : )
Pumped your article.
Howdy Phil!, good to hear from you. Of course we know that, but my response was to the GB who said it would lower fuel costs for cars. Make it a great day!
You're welcome.
You've just been pumped. Have a great day.
I again agree.
You're right, I was misinterpreting what you were saying. You and I are in complete agreement.
That's where I disagree with you. The faster, cheaper, safer, better solution would be pipelines and that won't happen because of politics. Government is forcing the use of railroads by not allowing pipelines to be built.

Our fees for 2013 are £350.00 per gig within a 50 mile radius of Junction 11 of the M27 and I am past being ashamed of charging that, recession or NO recession as we are bloody worth it!...and more!...We do however do a booking deal - if we are booked twice in a year its £300.00 and thrice (if that word exists) then it is £250.00
January 31st 2015 - The Hiltonbury Farmhouse - Chandlers Ford (S,R,Sa,R,N?)

Less Pain for Learning Gain
Medical News Today
Date Published:
September 28, 2010
Now research from Northwestern University suggests a new way of training that could reduce by at least half the effort previously thought necessary to make learning gains. They suggest combining periods of practice may alone be too brief to cause learning with periods of mere exposure to perceptual stimuli.

Master stylist Kelly Wilson has owned Pure Faith Salon for more than 14 years. There, she harnesses her Paul Mitchell training both to craft eye-catching looks and lead her skilled team, which consists of stylists, aestheticians, and massage therapists. Their roster of services ranges from highlights and precision cuts to facials and waxing, but they only do waxing for cars if your head is a car. For pageants, weddings, and special events, an on-staff makeup artist can paint on dramatic eyeliner or natural-looking zebra stripes.
4 Seasons Salon's advanced equipment has bronzed bodies with UV and UV-free tanning services and the tanning salon is Smart Tan-certified. Formerly known as Unique Tan, the salon fosters sun-kissed glows with an array of beds, including the lay-down Open Sun and the standup Starship, as well as the sunless Mystic Tan booth and custom airbrush tanning, applied by Michelle Owen who has over 9 years of experience. The company's knowledgeable staff kicks off tanning journeys by chatting with clients about their preferred hues. Red-light therapy and massage therapy sessions soothe bodies, and Fit body wrap treatments are available to reduce cellulite, speed up metabolism, and detoxify the body. The stores also stock lotions, such as Designer Skin and Devoted Creations' Collagenetics line, which boasts anti-aging effects.
At Cielo Salon and Day Spa, classically inspired artwork and marble walls set the scene for services designed to impart timeless beauty. Yet the styles exiting the salon are anything but old-fashioned. Armed with J Beverly Hills haircare products, stylists––some of whom have more than 20 years of experience––employ the latest cutting, straightening, and lengthening techniques to shape manes and mix hair colors that hold true even when subjected to the sun's polygraph test. Luxurious drapes separate the main salon area from the pedicure station, where toes can change out of old polish in complete privacy, as well as a warren of private treatment rooms where aestheticians strip away unwanted body hair and lift away complexion-clogging debris with facials peels rich in vitamin C and lactic and glycolic acids.
Cut N Corners loves its creative title. Unlike the name, however, its stylists never cut corners on creating beautiful hairstyles. Instead, they strive to make each customer feel as gorgeous as possible with a silky new 'do. Cut in layers for a floaty look or turn your locks into a simple, practical pixie cut. To add a burst of color and depth, let the stylists add in honey highlights or a temporary spray-in streak to make the neighbor?s think your all blueberry diet is turning your hair blue.
It?s always swimsuit season inside Rio Tan, where six levels of tanning booths reward customers with a bronze, attention-grabbing glow. The salon offers six levels of tanning to accommodate a wide range of skin types, as well as spray tans for optimal convenience. Aiming to keep bodies in shape, Fit and Sudatronic body wraps expose them to slimming infrared heat, which is usually found on the dark side of the sun.

Luis Lopez, 27, pleaded guilty last week to involuntary manslaughter, endangering children and domestic violence.
As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors in Elyria, west of Cleveland, dropped murder and felonious assault charges. The (Lorain) Morning Journal reported Lopez was sentenced Wednesday.
Prosecutors agreed to the reduced charges after an investigation showed Aaviana Payne likely died after Lopez accidentally dropped her on the stairs and she hit her head. They said Lopez didn't seek medical attention for the girl, which led to her death.

I have a windowless cubicle. We have overhead ceiling fluorescent lights on all the time. I recently got a 32 watt 5000K 86 CRI 4 foot light under an overhead cabinet. What types of plants should I get? I put a peace lily under the cabinet light. If I put a plant directly under it, does it still need to be a "low light" plant? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes it would need to be a low light plant. Try a coleus. There are many to choose from. Don't get the sun tolerant varieties. African violets and spider plants should do ok also. |

The Plaza Restaurant closed in November of 2012, as the owners moved to Italy. This restaurant's location has been resurrected as "Hanks' Place", a Cuban-European Bistro with great food.
Service was poor and food just fair. Waitress was pleasant, but inexperienced. My wife ordered linguine with clams. It was very bland. Had to ask for utensils so we could serve ourselves salad. We were not given clean forks after eating our salad. Chairs were old and worn. Had to ask for pepper and water. Restaurant was empty, so no... More
We ate here twice. Wonderful food and nice staff. Next year (2013) we'll be back!
key biscayne has many good restaurants. the plaza opened a few years back and every winter, when we visit, we have been meaning to give them a try. we dined there recently with a friend and it was somewhat disappointing. the service was very slow even though the place was nearly empty. the food was okay but not great. my...

My husband and I were in Key Biscayne after a Carnival Cruise on the Liberty. We spent 2 days here and the very first restaurant we tried was the Plaza. He had the Veal Vitello Parmigiana and I had the Lasagne Bolognese. From the moment we arrived our waiter Fabio was terrific. We sat outside on the terrace and their... More
Will NOT go again. Food was terribly expensive for what it is, service haughty and underperforming. Much better places to choose from here on the Key - like Forno & Fornelli, recently opened Italian place who really try to please and make you feel wanted as a customer!
Not a completely satisfactory experience. The table was never set properly, we had to ask for butter, we were never given or offered the vinegar and oil that other tables had inside, we were never asked whether we wanted regular or sparkling water, we we never asked if we wanted wine or cocktails, we were never told about the specials...

Our party of six tried many items from the standard menu. Our waiter was experienced but new to this restaurant and he did an admirable job. We brought two outstanding wines and the restaurant managed the wine experience to perfection. The salmon in garlic sauce with artichoke was very well prepared, the mahi mahi with mushrooms was rated as just... More
Best meal we had in Key Biscayne! You deserve the #1 spot on Trip Advisor. My Husband and I enjoyed the food, the quaint atmosphere, the soft music in the background and the very pleasant waiter! Ossobucco was Phenomenal as was the Eggplant! Our waiter said it all; "happy tummy = happy heart!"
If you are visiting Key Biscayne, FL, you need to take the time to visit the Plaza restaurant. It has an Italian flare and the food is excellent. We have been there many times and have yet to order something bad. Of course, we all have our favorites but truly it is worth a visit. The early bird specials are... More

The Benefits of Community Service [Infographic]
Businesses giving back to communities is at an all-time high. "There was a 150 percent growth in company-sponsored employee volunteerism in the last few decades," according to Causecast.com. But it doesn't stop there. Companies are also giving back through monetary donations, as 6 percent of the $312.23 billion donated to charities in 2012 came from corporations. To learn more about the benefits of community service and how it affects corporations, check out the infographic below.

Hello I am new here. I'm trying to decide between Atkins and SBD. Anyone tried both? I want to begin tomorrow.
Good luck skybluepink!
Good luck skybluepink!
South Beach Diet - Atkins vs South Beach?View Full Version : Atkins vs South Beach? pigpug 08-30-2009, 03:33 PM Hello I am new here. I'm trying to decide between Atkins and SBD. Anyone tried both? I want to begin tomorrow. Good luck skybluepink! RobynF 08-30-2009, 07:36 PM Hi pigpug. I have tried both. I am just now back on the beach almost 2 weeks now. When I first decided to try "low carb" thing back in 2004 I started with Atkins. Honestly after 4 days I felt HORRIBLE!!! Needless to say I said screw that feeling and went off the diet completely. Then I went to my doc and while he was doing my checkup I mentioned about trying the Atkins and how it made me feel. He told me I should give south beach a try. Well I did and I liked it alot better. I found it wasnt as restrictive as the Atkins and I didnt once feel as bad as I had on the Atkins. Although on South Beach around day 3 or 4 you can "feel" different but not deathly ill. Its just your body starting to adjust I think. I got off the SBD when my marriage went downhill and anything and everything I was banned from having became my new best friend LOL. Anyway I have now been back almost a couple of weeks and feel awesome! Still having to force myself to exercise but thats ok. I know I will follow through on the SBD because I have stuck to it and everytime I consider cheating and going for the bread or things not allowed...I picture myself in 3 months weighing more than I do now. Just thought Id let ya know my story. Hope it helps...But Im so for south beach its not funny!! LOL Good Luck!!!!:carrot: beachgal 08-31-2009, 12:37 PM Pigpug, :welcome: There are a lot of threads in this forum (and, I suspect, in the Atkins-related forum) about this issue. Try doing a search to find them. I will say, however, that it takes time to read the book, prepare your house and mind, and get ready before starting a new plan, if you really want it to work. So I wouldn't plan on starting either tomorrow. Check out the Prepare Yourself to Start South Beach (http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/south-beach-diet/164239-prepare-yourself-start-south-beach.html) thread (stickied at the top of this page) for lots of hints on how to successful start this plan, if that's what you decide to do. :goodluck: JerseyGyrl 08-31-2009, 02:25 PM I can only speak from my experience with Atkins. I've been doing Atkins for over 5 years. Most people have a lot of misconceptions regarding Atkins....such as it being the all you can eat red meat, bacon & butter diet. My advice to you would be to read & re-read Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution to understand how & why the plan works. It is also very important to follow the plan the way its been written to avoid "oh yeah, I tried that Atkins diet and that didn't work for me" Here's some info regarding Atkins that may help you: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/atkins/138091-atkins-induction-basics.html http://www.veronicaatkinsfoundation.org/ All the best to you!:hug: nancy237 09-02-2009, 07:06 PM I did Atkins a few years back and now I do South Beach. Atkins made me feel physically bad..low energy..bad breath...deprived. When I could not have fruits it made no sense to me. South Beach makes me feel good, joints feel better, better energy, easy to feed whole family same food, and feels like a 'forever" way that I will eat. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Ravens injured starters back on field
Updated: January 3, 2010, 3:45 PM ET
Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Baltimore Ravens are getting a big boost for their win-or-else season finale with banged-up starters Ed Reed, Derrick Mason and Terrell Suggs all active for the game.
Reed is expected to start at safety against the Raiders on Sunday after missing the previous four games with a groin injury. Baltimore needs to beat Oakland to clinch an AFC wild-card berth. The Ravens would be eliminated from playoff contention with a loss.
Mason is slated to start at receiver ...

A woman who was suspected in the death of her child in Billings in 2012 has confessed to abusing the 3-month-old girl.
Amanda Rose Steffan walked into the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office in California on Friday and admitted she had abused her baby, whose initials were R.F., in Billings in 2012, according to Billings Police Lt. Kevin Iffland.
The child's father also was suspected, but never charged.
Her reason for confessing is not clear, Iffland said.
Steffan was not charged in 2012 because there was insufficient evidence.
A coroner's examination proved inconclusive, and a cause for the baby girl's death was ruled undetermined.
When she was interviewed by police in 2012, Steffan said she put the baby down for a nap. When she checked on the child, she was not breathing and blue.
"When everything was turned over to the county attorney's office, there was not enough probable cause to charge anyone at the time," Iffland said.
In her confession, Steffan said she began abusing the baby about two weeks after it was born and believed her abuse could have contributed to the baby's death, Iffland said.
Steffan admitted to putting the child in a car seat for long periods of time, shaking her, and sometimes shutting her in a closet.
Steffan went on to confess that she would suffocate the baby by putting her thumb in the child's mouth for 30 seconds at a time. She also said had fractured the baby's skull by punching her in the forehead and slapping her very hard when she spit up.
In light of the confession, Steffan has been charged with two counts of felony assault on a minor, one count of felony aggravated assault, one count of felony criminal endangerment and one count of felony negligent homicide.
The Billings Police Investigations Division is continuing to do follow-up investigation on her statement. The Yellowstone County Attorney's office will be handling Steffan's extradition.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Monday wrestled with voluntary integration plans in public schools, asking whether Seattle's "Open Choice" program is an acceptable move toward student diversity or another name for illegal racial quotas.
At the start of two hours of argument, the justices referred repeatedly to a 2003 Supreme Court ruling that permitted the limited consideration of race to attain a diverse student body on the college level.
Does Seattle's program go too far in assigning some students to schools they didn't request? the justices wanted to know in questioning lawyers for the school district, the Bush administration and white parents whose children were assigned to high schools with heavy minority enrollment.
Justice Anthony Kennedy was among those expressing deep skepticism about Seattle's program.
The district seems to be telling its students that "everybody can get a meal," but that only certain people can get "dessert," Kennedy said. Justice Antonin Scalia said it was as though the district was saying "you can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs."
The justices were referring to the fact that some students have been assigned based on their race to schools they didn't ask to attend. The question, said Kennedy, is whether a student can get into the school the student really prefers.
Chief Justice John Roberts expressed concern about making school assignments "based on skin color" and not "any other factor."
Attorney Michael Madden, representing the school district, said race is but one factor, that it is relied on only in some instances and then only at the end of a lengthy process.
Madden drew a distinction between the Seattle school program and the subject of the court's 2003 decision, which narrowly approved the University of Michigan law school affirmative action admissions program.
"This is not like being denied admission to a state's flagship university," Madden told Roberts. The Seattle students are "not being denied admission, they are being redistributed."
Parents in Louisville, Ky., and Seattle are challenging school assignment plans that factor in a student's race in an effort to have individual school populations approximate the racial makeup of the entire system. Federal appeals courts have upheld both programs.
Amid the oral arguments, pro-affirmative action demonstrators bearing "Fight For Equality" placards marched on the sidewalk in front of the Supreme Court in a brisk wind. A parent-teachers group from Chicago and several civil rights groups were among those sponsoring the demonstration.
Demonstrators chanted "Equal education, not segregation" and "We won't go to the back of the bus, integration is a must." Some held signs that read "Stop racism now." Among the crowd were representatives of the National Organization for Women, the NAACP and students from Howard University.
Though outnumbered, there were some in the crowd from the other side.
"Regardless of how well-motivated, allowing the state to engineer racial mixing only creates racial stereotypes and increases racial tension," said Terry Pell, president of the Center for Individual Rights, a public interest law firm. "The court needs to put an end to state-mandated tinkering with race."
The school policies in contention are designed to keep schools from segregating along the same lines as neighborhoods. In Seattle, only high school students are affected. Louisville's plan applies systemwide.
"The plan has prevented the resegregation that inevitably would result from the community's segregated housing patterns and that most likely would produce many schools that might be perceived as 'failing,'" the Seattle school district said in its brief to the high court.
The Bush administration has taken the side of the parents who are suing the school districts, much as it intervened on behalf of college and graduate students who challenged affirmative action policies before the Supreme Court in 2003.
In 2003, the court upheld race-conscious admissions in higher education in a 5-4 opinion by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
The cases are Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, 05-908; and Meredith v. Jefferson

Both of these shows were to kick off at Norlin Quad, near Norlin Library and Mackey Auditorium on the grounds of the University of Colorado at Boulder. But a university official says Chancellor Richard L. Byyny, who oversees CU's Boulder campus, denied a request to hold the concerts at the Quad on April 17. That's news to most people, though. As late as last week, Jacor ads still stated that the Big Adventure would occur at the Quad, and more than 5,000 people have already purchased tickets with that understanding; so, too, have 1,000 Fox fans. As for Buswell, who claims to have first heard about problems concerning the site late on April 24, a full week after Byyny rendered his decision, he says, "This all totally caught me off guard. I don't understand why this happened, and I can't believe it took them so long to tell us about it."
In trying to sort out the details of the dispute, time is an important factor. According to a knowledgeable source, Norlin Quad was not Jacor's top choice for the Big Adventure. Instead, the mega-company (which owns eight Denver-Boulder radio stations, including KTCL and KRFX/The Fox) initially wanted to stage the bash at Mile High Greyhound Park Stadium in Commerce City, broaching the topic to the facility's overseers last November. But after the state racing commission said no to the show, Jacor settled on Norlin Quad. The fit seemed like a good one: After all, the Quad regularly accommodates large crowds during summer graduation ceremonies and has been used regularly for musical events like Fun in a Nuclear Age (FINA), which drew approximately 12,000 listeners in 1991. Moreover, Buswell wanted what he refers to as "a non-traditional venue" for the Big Adventure, which in past years had been headquartered at Fiddler's Green.
"At Fiddler's, you've got 7,500 reserved seats," Buswell points out, "and a lot of the people with those tickets don't bother to show up until six or seven in the evening. But before then, you've got people on the lawn seating area who get there early in the afternoon and who are there to see some of the newer bands. So rather than having a band like the Aquabats play to a bunch of empty seats, which is a little awkward, we thought we'd try something different. And the Quad was perfect for us."
Unfortunately, Jacor didn't make this discovery until late in the game. Brantley Dunaway, director of CU's program council, the body that promotes and coordinates music events at the university, reveals that he met with Jacor representatives on Tuesday, March 31, and at that time, they told him they needed to get a yea or nay about the Quad within four days. That presented difficulties, Brantley says. "The approval process for the Quad is kind of lengthy. It's an academic area and it's treasured by the university for its historic value, so there's several entities within the university that have to be consulted. First there's the program council, and then it goes to the vice chancellor of student affairs, and it also has to go to the heads of departments that might be affected by the concert."
The program council promptly gave the nod to the Big Adventure and the Fox's Seventies Saturday, in part because of financial considerations; Buswell estimates that the university would have received $80,000 from the shows. The next level of CU bureaucracy endorsed the shows, too, and with Buswell confident that final approval was a mere formality, Jacor began hyping the Big Adventure on April 3; tickets went on sale one week later. But Buswell didn't count on the actions of Byyny. While he knew that Byyny had to approve specific Jacor requests involving an extension of the university curfew from 10:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. and the sale of liquor, he says, "I thought the worst-case scenario would be that he'd tell us we had to stop at 10:30 and that we couldn't sell alcohol--and I would have been able to deal with that. But I had no idea he could refuse to let us use the Quad at all."
Why did Byyny turn thumbs down? The program council's Dunaway guesses that Jacor's rush to publicity probably played a part. "They put the show on sale with full knowledge that it hadn't been approved yet," says Dunaway, "and I think it upset some people in the chancellor's office. It was like, 'Why are you even asking us for approval if you're already advertising it?'"

01 Sept 2006
JAKARTA, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Indonesian police have arrested a prison
guard over the smuggling of a laptop for a man on death row for the
2002 Bali bombings, police and his lawyer said on Friday.
The arrest came after police revealed last month that Bali bomber Imam
Samudra had used a laptop in his Bali prison cell to chat via the
Internet with co-conspirators about fund-raising for attacks through
online credit card fraud.
"He has been detained for seven days. Investigators are looking into
evidence and information from witnesses," national police spokesman
Bambang Kuncoko told reporters.
The prison guard's lawyer, Achmad Michdan, said he had been officially
named a suspect.
"He's accused of being an accessory to an act of terrorism," Michdan
Police said the laptop was bought by one of two computer experts who
were arrested last month on suspicion of "cyber terrorism".
Samudra and two other militants, Amrozi and Ali Gufron, have been on
death row for more than two years after courts convicted them of
playing leading roles in the October 2002 nightclub bombings in Bali
that killed 202 people, most of them tourists.
While they were in prison, suicide bombings ripped through three
restaurants on the tourist island of Bali last October, killing 20
Samudra, Gufron and Amrozi have since been transferred to an island
prison off the southern coast of Java island, where they await
The attorney-general's office last month delayed the executions of the
three men, citing a judicial review by defence lawyers.
The bombings in Bali have been blamed on the Southeast Asian Islamic
militant group, Jemaah Islamiah, which authorities say has links with
Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network.

These are stories Report on Business is following Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012.
Follow Michael Babad and the Globe's top business stories on Twitter.
Just sayin'
Nike chairman Phil Knight on sponsorship of Tiger Woods, in
an interview with Sports Business during the golfer's infidelity scandal in
"One of the things we always try to do when we have a big endorsement is check out the character and the pattern of the individual. But you're not going to get it right all the time, and if you're going to be in the business you have to recognize that … Obviously, he was one we checked out and he came out clean, and I think he's been really great. When his career is over, you'll look back on these indiscretions as a minor blip, but the media is making a big deal out of it right now."
Nike on the sponsorship deal with Lance Armstrong, in a statement today during the racer's doping scandal:
"Due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade, it is with great sadness that we have terminated our contract with him. Nike does not condone the use of illegal performance enhancing drugs in any manner."
Of course, they're different. Just pointing it out given that sponsorships are supposed to be all about stand-up guys people can look up to.
(Just pointing out, too, that as Nike cut Mr. Armstrong loose, Adidas signed up Justin Bieber for its NEO label. Mr. Bieber doesn't need dope because he's on a natural high: "I found a real connection with NEO because is about fashion, freedom and being true to who you are.")
Potash cuts outlook
Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan is cutting its profit outlook, largely because of delays in signing new deals with Chinese and Indian buyers.
The agricultural giant said today 2012 earnings per share will come in "below the low end" of its earlier projection of $2.80 (U.S.) to $3.20, The Globe and Mail's Bertrand Marotte reports.
For the third quarter, earnings per share are now projected at the low end of its 70-cent to 90-cent forecast.
"The change primarily reflects lower than forecasted potash sales volumes due to delays in new contracts with buyers in China and India," the company said.
Just yesterday, CIBC World Markets analyst Jacob Bout cut his price target on Potash shares to $46 from $54, also cutting his view of Agrium Inc. and The Mosaic Co., the other major producers.
His target on Agrium fell to $121 from $125, and on Mosaic to $64 from $72.
"The continued deterioration in potash demand has resulted in pricing pressure in key markets such as China and Brazil," Mr. Bout said in his report on Potash Corp.
"With no stabilizer in sight, the threat of a potash 'holiday' in China and India has become the most likely scenario given current market conditions in these regions."
Oil patch hops
Canada's oil patch is hopping today with news of a few deals.
First, ExxonMobil Corp. has struck a $3-billion deal for Celtic Exploration Ltd., offering $24.50 a share and half a share in a new company to be created. That over all price includes debt.
Celtic's main oil and gas business is in central Alberta, and it holds land in the Montney and Duvernay gas plays.
Separately today, Penn West Petroleum Ltd. Unveiled deals to sell $1.3-billion in non-core assets.
- Penn-West to sell $1.3-billion worth of non-core properties
- Exxon bids $3.1-billion to buy Canada's Celtic Exploration
U.S. housing starts surge
As JPMorgan Chase and Co.'s Jamie Dimon noted last week, the U.S. housing market appears to be turning the corner.
It just so happens that Canada's residential real estate market is heading down at just about the same time.
The latest numbers released today show construction starts in the United States surging by 15 per cent in September, to an annual pace of 872,000. And that's up from August. From a year ago, it's up by almost 35 per cent.
Housing starts are now at their best showing in about four years.
Building permits also climbed, by almost 12 per cent.
"The rising optimism within the new build sector, as indicated by yesterday's reported sixth consecutive monthly increase in homebuilders' confidence to its highest level since 2006, as well as the elevated level of building permits suggest that the housing market should maintain this momentum over the coming months and we continue to expect overall housing market conditions to improve gradually over the forecast horizon," said economist David Onyett-Jeffries of Royal Bank of Canada.
Of course, in Canada, construction starts remain strong, but that's not expected to last.
And the latest measure of the resale housing market showed sales down 15 per cent in September.
- U.S. housing starts surge to fastest pace since 2008
- Toronto condo resales falter as listings climb
- Canada's housing markets: Who's winning, who's losing
- Year-over-year home sales plunge 15.1 per cent in September
Smartphone use surges
Sixteen years after the launch of the smartphone, the number of these gadgets in use now tops 1 billion, according to a new report today.
Unfortunately for some device makers – Research In Motion Ltd. is one, but it's certainly not alone – the spark in the industry has been the iPhone over the last several years.
Yet fortunately, the new report from Strategy Analytics points out the huge growth potential, notably in emerging economies.
"The world's first modern smartphone, the Nokia Communicator, was introduced in 1996," said senior analyst Scott Bicheno.
"Nokia remained a dominant force in smartphones for over a decade until the arrival of Apple's iconic iPhone in 2007," he said.
"The iPhone revolutionized smartphone design and it catalyzed industry growth."
Strategy Analytics put the number of smartphones in use around the world at 1.038 billion in the third quarter of the year, compared to an estimated 708 million a year earlier.
And that can only grow.
"We estimate one in seven of the world's population owned a smartphone in the third quarter of 2012," said Neil Mawston, the group's executive director.
"Smartphone penetration is still relatively low. Most of the world does not yet own a smartphone and there remains huge scope for future growth, particularly in emerging markets such as China, India and Africa. The first billion smartphones in use worldwide took 16 years to reach, but we forecast the next billion to be achieved in less than three years, by 2015."

Resident Evil 4 HD Ultimate Edition - PC Trailer
Take a look at the trailer for Resident Evil 4 HD Ultimate Edition, coming to PC on February 28.
uh, is it just me or does this look exactly the same as it did on GameCube in 2005? How is this an HD release? Looks like the same character/environment models, same textures, same everything.
This looks substantially better than that horrid PC port. Hopefully all the C++ runtime errors are fixed. 60fps is gonna make a huge difference. Capcom did fine with the PC versions of 5 and 6, so I'll buy this too.
from the trailer, the graphics of the game look the same as the gamecube version of the RE4 that I still have. granted i play it using a S-video cable to make it look better, but even so.. mater of fact, the graphics of the gamecube remake of RE1 looks better then the "new" HD version
Pretty shitty job, High Definition is NOT high resolution. CRAPCOM and their half-assed PC ports, after Devil May Cry 3, I won't be picking another port from them on this lifetime.
MILK it Capcom. MILK IT!
This is a great game, but I'm pretty sure everyone who wanted to play it has. That, and the "HD Upgrade" doesn't appear to have made a huge difference. Surprise, surprise, an old game looks old regardless of resolution.
This trailer is really misleading. I didn't see any new bonus content. Maybe they're referring to the compact disc? Amazing game though. The question is: is this the last great Resident Evil game? It is a Shinji Mikami game I do believe.
Great game! But who didn't play this? Oh c'mon, it already have almost 10 years, and have been released in all major platforms in the past...
They really liked to throw the fact it's 'HD' in your face, yet everything looks the same, just it will obviously run at a higher resolution. But I saw nothing about 'controller support' and maybe even better controls on mouse and keyboard then the atrocity we had with the original PC version.
Capcom, if you really want people's money, -show- them a reason to buy it again. Saying buzzwords like 'HD' and '60fps' doesn't really fit with the PC crowd, since they're more interesting in wanting to run 4k at 120+fps.
Time has left it's mark on this game. I've never actually played through it though, so I might grab it off steam. Maybe some awesome modders will re-texture it. Doubt it.
@thekazumalord Dude I totally agree with you, RE1 remake has some of the best graphics of that generation, strange how most people over look it.
@Swaghard the bonus content is the stuff that came on the PS2. Seperate Ways with Ada Wong, New character skins and the ability to rewatch cutscenes. I do believe this was the last great RE game. I didn't like 5, 6 or Operation RC.
@everson_rm yeah I played this on GameCube at release and then again on PS2. Great game. I've probably beat this game like 25 times total, kind of ridiculous actually.
@Draken_Domingo yeah I agree. All the textures and character models are the same. Why would they bump up the poly count and increase the textures?
@ashtontheguru @thekazumalord besides the slightly outdated controls, the RE1 remake still stands up in terms of story, gameplay, music, atmosphere and graphics....

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Building Resilience & Opportunity
January 18, 2011 – The World Bank Group will begin consultations this month on a renewed social protection and labor strategy that will guide its work for the next decade, the Bank announced today.
With the recent food, fuel and financial crises, and an overwhelming demand for effective, efficient and equitable social protection programs that reduce poverty and inequality, and build resilience by helping individuals and families smooth their consumption, this is an ideal time for the Bank to roll out a reinvigorated 10-year plan.
Social protection programs promote opportunity and growth by helping people build human and physical capital, facilitating access to education, health and nutrition, improving skills and access to jobs, and by freeing families to make productive investments because of their greater sense of security.
"The next decade promises to be fast-changing, challenging and demanding of social protection," said Arup Banerji, Director of Social Protection & Labor at the Bank. "During the next 10 years, social protection policies and programs will be strongly shaped by emerging global challenges, especially deepening demographic trends, increasing volatility and integration brought about by globalization, and persistent poverty and inequality."
Social protection is essential in times of crisis, and programs are indispensable to sustainable growth, Banerji said.
About the 2012-2022 Strategy
The Bank launched its first social protection and labor strategy in 2001. The new strategy will respond to a dynamic global context and address some of the challenges countries face in implementing effective social protection and labor policies and programs.
The strategy will support countries in building systems that are appropriate to capacity; focus on low-income and fragile contexts; improve opportunities, employability and livelihoods; and promote continued investment in knowledge, including sharing relevant good practice and results.
The Consultation Process
Consultations will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss, firsthand, how the Bank can improve its future social protection and labor work.
The first phase of consultations begins this month. (See the concept note). Through May 2011, online consultations and face-to-face meetings will collect the views of stakeholders around the world. These comments and recommendations will inform the draft of social protection and labor strategy in October 2011, before the start of the second phase of consultations—a two-month period when stakeholders can provide comments. The Bank's Board of Executive Directors will discuss the final draft strategy in early 2012.
