How Immigration Policy has Walled Off Silicon Valley
In today's fast-paced, globalized world, knowledge workers can choose to work anywhere. In fact, being an appealing place for people to locate, especially those with advanced skills, is a valuable national resource. Highly skilled workers earn high wages, spend those wages locally, pay domestic taxes, and contribute to spill-over effects that benefit everyone in the area. Most engineers will tell you that the most appealing location for tech workers is located right here in the United States. Some countries strike oil. Others find diamonds. The United States hit it rich with Silicon Valley.
However, Silicon Valley has a weakness that threatens this preeminence: the lack of enough skilled workers to promote expansion and innovation by existing firms and industries and the development of new ones. One of the chief causes of this problem is America's growth-stymying, restrictive immigration policies toward high-skill, foreign-born talent. For example, for the first time in American history, there are fewer startups founded by immigrants than there were 10 years ago. The effect is especially apparent in Silicon Valley, where immigrant-founded startups dropped from 52.4 percent to 43.9 percent from 2005 to 2012. And unfortunately for … Read the rest
A Modi Administration Report Card on the Eve of His Visit to the United States
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's historic election was viewed with a great deal of optimism by much of the world, including here in the United States. His campaign platform—putting economic growth front and center—championed the kinds of policies needed to get India's economy back on track. With the Modi Administration having been in office for just about four months now, and as he embarks on his first official visit to the United States, it's a good moment to take stock of the Modi Administration's accomplishments to date—and areas where we hope to see continued progress toward improving the state of U.S.-India economic and trade relations.
On the positive side, the Modi Administration has announced a number of promising economic reforms. In particular, it has:
- Retired India's Planning Commission, a vestige of centralized state planning;
- Eased some restrictions and limitations on foreign direct investment (FDI), notably in the defense and railway sectors (with the FDI ceiling in the former raised to 49 percent and in the latter to 100 percent);
- Committed to renewed infrastructure investment in power generation and transportation networks;
- Set a year-end target to complete long-pending implementation of a
The Need for an AGOA Renewal
The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is set to expire in September 2015, and last week at the United States-Africa Business Forum, President Obama pitched the idea of an early renewal, building on the growth of the Administration's "Doing Business in Africa Campaign." AGOA is the cornerstone of U.S. trade and investment with Africa; over its 14 year history, the program has contributed to a doubling of U.S. trade with Africa. In 2013, U.S. goods imports from sub-Saharan Africa under AGOA and the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program totaled $26.8 billion, more than three times the amount in 2001, the first full-year of AGOA trade.
Indeed, by providing duty-free entry into the United States for almost all African products, AGOA has helped expand and diversify African exports to the United States, while at the same time fostering an improved business environment in many African countries through streamlined eligibility requirements. These eligibility requirements remain important in the renewal process though, as part of increasing the desirability of African countries as a business destination lies in making sure that these nations have an environment that fosters growth and investment. Congress … Read the rest
Harry Reid, Title II, and The Rashomon Effect
Rashomon, for those readers who aren't big film buffs, is a 1950's Japanese masterpiece about a rape and murder mystery told through four different points of view. The film's brilliant technique, now commonplace in modern narratives, presents different witnesses' contradictory, self-serving accounts of the crimes with the audience left to sort out the truth. All the spin in policy debates these days can make interpreting current events feel like a similar exercise, with some advocates being all too eager to seize on and promote a particular interpretation, no matter how strained it may be. Case in point: Harry Reid's recent letter to David Segal of Demand Progress on net neutrality.
Appreciating the subtleties of Reid's letter requires some context. The most recent iteration of the now decade-long debate over net neutrality has actually seen widespread agreement over the general principles of the open Internet. All the major carriers insist they have no interest blocking or degrading traffic or splitting up websites into tiers or packages. The real controversy is over the appropriate jurisdictional framework for the FCC to build its rules on. There are two possible starting points: either … Read the rest
RAMI Legislation Poised to Revitalize American Manufacturing
This Friday morning, July 25, the House Committee on Space, Science, and Technology will hold a full Committee markup of H.R. 2996, the Revitalize American Manufacturing and Innovation (RAMI) Act of 2013. This is the House's companion legislation to Senate Bill 1468, which passed out of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee by voice vote in May.
The legislation would provide authorization, using existing funding of up to $300 million, for the Secretary of Commerce to establish up to 15 Institutes of Manufacturing Innovation (IMIs), public-private partnerships that would focus on developing advanced manufacturing product and process technologies, facilitating their commercialization, and developing workforce skills around advanced manufacturing technologies. As ITIF writes in Why America Needs a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) and How It Should Work, these Institutes would play a pivotal role in enhancing U.S. industrial competitiveness by supporting development of technologies that will enable U.S. manufacturers to compete in the global marketplace. The additional IMIs would join four already chartered focusing on additive manufacturing, next-generation power electronics, digital manufacturing and design innovation, and lightweight and modern metals manufacturing, all of … Read the rest
It's Not Too Late for India's New Beginning
In mid-May, the world cheered as India elected its new Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Many believed his election foreshadowed a new beginning for India, as Modi and his BJP party ran on a pro-growth, business-friendly platform in an attempt to improve the environment for doing business and open the country up to greater foreign direct investment, further transforming the country into a robust, 21st-century economy. Sworn in at the end of June, Prime Minister Modi has been in office for a little over a month and, while still in its early stages, his desired tone and policies are beginning to take hold.
As ITIF wrote in The Indian Economy at a Crossroads, Modi's election heralded a potential turn away from India's recently growing embrace of "innovation mercantilist" policies, such as local content requirements for manufacturers and arbitrary patent denials and revocations, which were one of many factors contributing to Indian economic growth sinking to decade-low levels in 2013. For example, Modi's campaign platform included specific provisions regarding intellectual property reforms, demonstrating that he understood that fostering an innovative environment in India would be the key … Read the rest
How FITARA Can Help Federal Agencies with Their IT Problem
In 2004, the Department of Veterans Affairs was forced to scrap a multimillion-dollar computer system that was designed to streamline the agency's costs. Ironically, the project cost taxpayers $265 million, and is one of many examples of federal IT projects which go massively over budget and under deliver. Part of the reason for these failures is the last time we made significant changes to how our government acquired its own IT was the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996. This law was enacted the year before Google.com was registered as a domain name, back when Windows 95 was the new big thing. Almost two decades later, while innovation has continued to press forward, our government's ability to efficiently acquire new IT has lagged miserably behind.
Luckily, a few lawmakers are trying to remedy that. In March 2013, Congressmen Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Gerry Connelly (D-VA) introduced H.R. 1232, the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA), to overhaul the federal government's approach to acquiring IT. The bill seeks to designate clear responsibility and authority over federal IT investment, enhance the government's ability to get good IT, strengthen the federal IT … Read the rest
Meet the New "De-Identification Deniers"
In 1895, Lord Kelvin, the renowned physicist, declared "Heavier than air flying machines are impossible" and dismissed those who were pursuing such research. Had the scientific community heeded his words and those of other skeptics, the advancements in aviation that define our modern world would have sadly been held back. Yet, unfortunately some in the scientific community have not learned the lesson that betting against human ingenuity is a fool's game. The most recent example of this comes from Arvind Narayanan and Ed Felten who in a recent paper declared that de-identification has never and will never work. (Their paper was intended as a rebuttal to a piece written by Dr. Ann Cavoukian, the former Ontario Privacy Commissioner, and me, which demonstrated that the claims made in the popular press about academic research on re-identification methods often overstate the findings or omit important details.)
The authors are making an incredible claim. They are not saying that de-identification sometimes fails (which is painfully obvious to even the casual observer), but rather that there is no such thing as anonymous data. Narayanan and Felten write, "there is no evidence that de-identification works … Read the rest
Points to Consider: Republication of Discredited and Retracted Paper on Rats, GMOs, and Cancer
"Original" Paper: "Republished Study: Long-term Toxicity of a Roundup Herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant Genetically Modified Maize," by Gilles-Eric Séralini, et. al., June 24, 2014, Environmental Science Europe,
This is a re-framed re-publication of a paper first made public in 2012. That article was subsequently retracted by the journal publisher, followed by an explanatory note from the editor.
Primary Claims:
This paper recycles claims made in the original paper, specifically:
- Glyphosate (Roundup) tolerant corn (maize) causes cancerous tumors in rats that consume it.
- Glyphosate itself causes cancerous tumors in rats that consume it.
It adds some related claims as well:
- That the retraction of the original paper was imposed even though the publisher admitted that "the data were not incorrect, that there was no misconduct, no fraud or intentional misinterpretation in our complete raw data…Our study was however never attended to be a carcinogenicity study"
- The retraction of the original paper was unjustified, as "Censorship of research into health risks undermines the value and the credibility of science, thus we republish our paper."
- They also claim that the retraction illustrates "a historic example of conflicts of interest in
About Censorship
For those of us who are curious, or maybe just in need of an occasional diversion from reality, the Internet is a rich and wondrous toy. With a click or two we can open a window to unexpected marvels or places we'd love to visit but will likely never get to. But the path to unexpected marvels can just as quickly shunt you off into bad neighborhoods and dark places that no one needs to visit. Herewith a tale…
We all love somebody who beats the odds, a self-made success who overcomes a challenge and builds something significant; even better if there's a "cowboy" angle of bucking current trends or speaking truth to power. On its surface, then, Mike Adams would seem to have a lot going for him.
Calling himself the "Health Ranger" and hosting a widely viewed website Adams offers up a steady stream of health related claims and comments through which he has become one of the Internet's leading promoters of bogus health schemes, medical conspiracy theories and quack medicine. He often starts from a springboard of fact, but regularly careens off in some conspiratorial … Read the rest

Portfolio Spring-Cleaning Buys and Sells
MILLBURN, N.J. ( Stockpickr) -- The snow is melting, the days are longer, oil prices are rising, Apple unveiled the second generation iPad, and exogenous events at opposite ends of the world -- Japan and Libya -- are rocking the world, literally and figuratively. For me, this signals an opportunity for some portfolio spring cleaning.
Don't get me wrong. I do not believe that the market is "rolling over" or is overvalued or that the bull market has come to an end. My research indicates that the equity markets are in the beginning of a multiyear bull market. Those exogenous events will be resolved, and the world will not come to an end.
But as famed economist John Maynard Keyes is attributed to have said, "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"

In managing a portfolio of 30 to 40 stocks, fundamentals will always change. Events, either micro to a company or macro to an economy or sector, will impact some of those stocks. Hence, I have sold some stocks. Conversely, opportunities have appeared for other stocks and sectors. As a result, I have made several portfolio changes over the past two weeks. Here is a listing of the transactions that I have initiated and the reasoning behind my actions. Ulta Salon Last year I included Ulta Salon (ULTA - Get Report) in my list of fad stocks. At the time, I wrote: "Right now Ulta Salon and Sally Beauty Holdings (SBH - Get Report) are in a favorable industry in an economy that is turning around. That too shall end, but until then, these stocks could be a 'pretty' investment." Ulta Salon has consistently delivered excellent earnings and recently raised its guidance. The company is growing earnings at a rate of 25% to 30%. However, with the stock selling at 30 times current year's earnings estimates and having a 65% gain in my holdings, I thought that it would be prudent to take profits. Ulta, which showed up on a recent list of five stocks hitting highs even amid turmoil, is one of TheStreet Ratings' top-rated specialty retail stocks.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Port authority's Lewis involved in discussion
By Ed Runyan
Ohio law says public officials shouldn't "have an interest in the profits or benefits of a public contract" involving their public body, but the Western Reserve Port Authority's lawyer says the law doesn't require him to stop officials from making remarks about such contracts in closed meetings.
An audio recording of a Feb. 18, 2009, meeting of the Western Reserve Port Authority obtained by The Vindicator reveals more about how port-authority member Scott Lewis, vice president of real-estate company Edward J. Lewis Inc., was involved in discussions about a lease at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport that produced real-estate fees for his company.
The port authority runs the airport.
The recording, obtained after a public-records request, appears to show Lewis requested the meeting, knew how long it would last and introduced the parties to each other at the beginning.
Just before going behind closed doors, John Masternick, authority board chairman at the time, said, "We're going to go into executive session first to cover a matter, a confidential matter." Masternick then seems to be asking Lewis how much time the session will take.
"Half an hour?"
"No more," Lewis says.
"No more than a half-hour," Masternick repeated.
The stated reason for the meeting was economic development and business relocation.
The tape recorder was not turned off right away, however.
Ran the meeting
"Mr. Lewis, we're in executive session at your request, so if you'd like to proceed," Masternick is heard saying during the Feb. 18, 2009, executive session.
"OK. Gentlemen, thank you. I have as our guest today the president of Millwood, Mr. Chip Trebilcock; his attorney, John Tucker; and his first in command ..."
The tape was turned off at that point, about 30 seconds into the session.
The meeting was in regard to a land lease Millwood needed before it would buy the Davis Cargo Building that sits on that land.
Lewis represented the sellers of the Davis Cargo Building and another nearby building that Millwood also purchased for its corporate offices. Millwood was only willing to buy the two buildings if it was able to secure an acceptable land lease from the port authority, Lewis has said.
Lewis admits his company earned a fee for selling the approximately $800,000 cargo building and $1,365,000 office building.
When the tape resumed, the board returned to public session and voted unanimously to authorize Atty. Dan Keating, who attends authority meetings and gives its members and staff legal advice, and Steve Bowser, airport director of aviation at the time, to complete lease negotiations with Millwood Inc. "concerning the Davis Air Cargo Building [land] lease."
Masternick added one more comment at that point: "And just for the record, we seem to have ironed out all the details."
Port-authority member Don Hanni III has said he feels Lewis' involvement in the Millwood/Pillar Partners lease was improper because Lewis participated in discussions about the project, including that executive session.
Hanni said he was angry when he learned after the meeting that Lewis had a financial interest in the Millwood lease because that was not made clear to him.
Hanni, who was attending just his second meeting as a port-authority member on that date, said he was unaware during that meeting what role Lewis played in the Millwood deal. He learned that later, he said, after asking why Lewis had abstained from voting.
Keating said he doesn't remember whether Lewis made remarks during the closed meeting about the lease but says if Lewis would have, he would not have felt obligated to stop him.
"If he's just blurting something out" regarding a project from which he stands to benefit, "I don't believe that's a violation of the law," Keating said. "If he's allowed to remain in the room, I don't see that [talking about the contract during the meeting] as a violation of the law."
Keating said the key decision in that instance is whether a fellow board member asked Lewis to refrain from sitting in the meeting. Keating says he doesn't recall any board member asking Lewis to leave.
What's involved
The lease was actually just for the land under the 24,000-square foot building that was originally built by local construction company owner and philanthropist D.D. Davis.
In 1999, the Davis Cargo Building and a 10-acre cargo apron were built on the Ridge Road side of the airport to attract cargo business.
In 11 years, the idea never took off, and the cargo building and cargo apron have been used very little.
Davis built and owned the building on land he leased from the port authority. The port authority built the cargo apron with $11.5 million in federal money.
Keating, Bowser and former business manager Colleen Black eventually would sign that lease in June 2009, and the board eventually approved it in November 2009 through a voice vote. At the time the board approved the lease, it was being called the "Pillar Partners II" lease, however. Lewis abstained from voting on matters relating to the lease.
Pillar Partners II is the name of the real-estate arm of Millwood.
Lewis would not disclose how much money Edward J. Lewis Inc. made on the lease deal.
Dan Dickten became the airport's director of aviation in April, after Bowser took another job in California. Dickten notified the Federal Aviation Administration in August that the Millwood land lease "didn't look right."
The FAA agreed, saying it has concerns because Bowser didn't let the agency review the lease before it was approved, and Millwood's 38-year lease with a 25-year option "ties the port authority's hands" regarding a cargo apron that the federal government spent $11.5 million to build.
The FAA says it is working with the port authority now to "fix" the lease.
The FAA says Millwood did nothing wrong.
Public trust
When port-authority members discuss issues in executive session, Keating said, the public has to trust them to police themselves regarding ethical conduct, because no official record of the proceedings is kept.
In some situations, Keating said he does "police" what goes on in private meetings, but his main duties relate to public sessions.
For example, Lewis is a pilot and buys fuel from Winner Aviation, a service provider at the airport. Scott Lynn, port-authority chairman, is a pilot for the Edward J. DeBartolo Corp. and buys fuel from Winner Aviation as part of his job, Keating said.
Because of this, Keating has advised both men that they should not vote on matters involving the port authority's dealings with Winner Aviation, such as the price Winner pays to lease facilities there, he said. Votes are taken only during public meetings.
With regard to ethics law, Keating said, the most important thing is disclosure.
An authority member with a potential conflict of interest should disclose that interest to his fellow board members, Keating said.
"Everything that Scott Lewis did was all disclosed," Keating said last week.
Public disclosure
But David Marburger, an attorney who practices open-government law in Ohio, said disclosure alone is not enough.
"If a disclosure is going to be made, it can only be done at a public session or by circulating a public record," Marburger said.
Keating said he thought Lewis disclosed his business interest in the Millwood lease to fellow board members during the public portion of the meeting Feb. 18, 2009.
Keating recalls that, "Scott Lewis said, 'I've had a listing a long time'" to sell the Davis Cargo Building and introduced Millwood's representatives. Keating said he thought that introduction took place during the public portion of the meeting.
"There was certainly no question of what Lewis was doing," Keating said.
The tape recording did not pick up any remarks from Lewis indicating to board members that he had a financial interest in the Millwood lease, and the minutes of the meeting also do not indicate that he made that statement.
When Lewis was asked whether he participated in discussions regarding the Millwood lease at the Feb. 18, 2009, executive session, at first he said he didn't remember.
Later he said he did attend the meeting and might have answered questions about it but said he didn't do anything improper and relied on Keating's advice regarding what he was allowed to do.
Paul Gains, Mahoning County prosecutor, said if there is any "documented evidence" to suggest that Lewis violated state ethics law, "it should be referred to the Ethics Commission," adding that "based on the article" that appeared in Sunday's Vindicator, "it should be looked at."
Dennis Watkins, Trumbull County prosecutor, said allegations such as this should go to an investigative agency, not a prosecutor.
Thanks Ed for your continued efforts on the story. I'm sure it's difficult to drill down.
Not easy listening to the tape of the meeting.
"Bowser didn't let the agency review the lease before it was approved, and Millwood's 38-year lease with a 25-year option "ties the port authority's hands" regarding a cargo apron that the federal government spent $11.5 million to build."
Does anyone know what the annual "lease" price was for the underlying land (cargo apron) yet?
"Lewis admits his company earned a fee for selling the approximately $800,000 cargo building and $1,365,000 office building."
Why can't the cargo hub building be found to have transferred, filed exempt maybe?
It's criminal,..
No more needs to be pondered and all involved needs to be removed from any authority in regards to city / county regional assets.
Yep,"That's the way it used to be", and, unfortunately, that's the way it appears to remain. Looks to me like Mr. Lewis probably grabbed 1-2 hundred thousand on this deal. I'd certainly call that a vested, personal interest.
Lewis won't tell what he earned -- he knews the price will stagger the hearts and minds of the citizens and then his conflict will be turned over to the ethics commision. Gains once again shows he has no BACKBONE (but plenty of acne scars) in heading up an investigation into potential criminal activity.
So Paulie -- Sciortino, McNally and Reardon HAD conflcits in Garland BUT Lewis doesn't on this deal? Where did you get your law degree -- same place David Aey got his?
Dennis Watkins, Trumbull County prosecutor has it right. This matter should go to an investigative agency, not the local prosecutor.
This is only the tip of the iceberg! The games being played at the airport and the Port Authority for several years now would cause a major revolt in both counties if the taxpayers knew what is going on with their money! It's about time everyone started asking the right questions and getting complete and honest answers. Where does the money go? Who all is behind keeping a failed airport alive with taxpayer money and what do they stand to gain? What has the WRPA ever produced to benefit the area? Who all is involved behind the scenes in this snake pit? Regional Chamber? Vindicator? Others? Who owns the land around the airport? If the truth ever comes out, it will make recent indictments and past political corruption look like child's play.

'Lights Out': Harry Reid Takes the Debt Ceiling Fear Up a Notch
Tweet |
**Written by Doug Powers
Last week Harry Reid said debt default could mean Social Security checks wouldn't be mailed out, no paychecks for our troops and closed schools. This week he's throwing in the kitchen sink — along with the dish cloths, soap, silverware and counter tops:
Senate Democrats sat down with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, and he painted a picture of what our world will look like if Republicans in Congress force this nation for the first time in its history to default on its financial obligations.
The picture was grim. This is how he described the state of our government if Congress allows this unprecedented default: "lights out."
Geithner described how the 80 million checks cut by the Treasury every day could simply stop coming. The federal government would, in effect, go dark.Paychecks for troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and bases around the world could stop. FAA towers could shut down. So could the FBI and the CIA. Border crossings could close [well, that's one way to secure the border – DP]. Safety inspections of the food Americans eat and the cargo that enters our ports could halt. Literally every function of government could cease.
There would be no discussion of which operations and personnel were essential. All the payments would likely stop.
Some have said we could prioritize which bills to pay. Even if that wouldn't irreparably damage the nation's credit and our reputation in the global community – which it would – it is also a complete fiction.
Our government won't even be able to cover the bills due on August 3. It will simply run out of money.
I'll bet they'd manage to find enough money to pay Congress.
Has anyone asked Reid why they can't prioritize payments? Is the government so crippled under its own weight that it can't remotely begin to accommodate an "emergency" using the existing revenue stream? Federal revenue is $200 billion a month. Spending on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, active duty military, veterans affairs and education totals about $145 billion, leaving plenty left for cowboy poets.
Besides, Republicans have offered to raise the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion, and it includes cuts, a spending cap and a balanced budget amendment. President Obama has already threatened a veto. If Reid wants those checks to go out next month he'd better head to the White House and forcefully express his opinion.
According to Reid's debt ceiling sherpa, Tim Geithner, "Plan A" is that Congress votes to raise the debt ceiling. What's "Plan B"? There isn't one. We're in the best of hands. Don't you wish some of these people could be half as creative when it comes to navigating alternative paths through a crisis as they can be when, say, doing their taxes?
And after all of Harry Reid's debt default Armageddon talk, just to cleanse the palate and provide some contrast, here's another reminder of what Harry Reid said about raising the debt ceiling in 2006:
"If my Republican friends believe that increasing our debt by almost $800 billion today and more than $3 trillion over the last five years is the right thing to do, they should be upfront about it. They should explain why they think more debt is good for the economy.
How can the Republican majority in this Congress explain to their constituents that trillions of dollars in new debt is good for our economy? How can they explain that they think it's fair to force our children, our grandchildren, our great grandchildren to finance this debt through higher taxes. That's what it will have to be. Why is it right to increase our nation's dependence on foreign creditors?
They should explain this. Maybe they can convince the public they're right. I doubt it. Because most Americans know that increasing debt is the last thing we should be doing. After all, I repeat, the Baby Boomers are about to retire. Under the circumstances, any credible economist would tell you we should be reducing debt, not increasing it.

The fourth movie based on the espionage-thriller novels of Robert Ludlum comes to the screen with its name brand intact and its dark, cloak-and-dagger world as treacherous as ever, but with its familiar leading man in hiding.
Matt Damon, who played tormented, always-on-the-run assassin Jason Bourne in the three previous movies, opted not to return. Into the breach, however, steps Jeremy Renner as a new character, Aaron Cross, who is introduced as another cog in the same ruthless, government-controlled, machine that turned Bourne into a hunted, haunted killer.
This time around, a major news story is about to break about the deep-cover operation, which specializes – as one character puts it – in the "morally indefensible and absolutely necessary" tasks that have to be done to take out the world's trash.
The secret program's agitated officials, worried about the disastrous consequences of such exposure, decide to shut everything down and erase the evidence of its dirty work, particularly the viral re-engineering program that makes its operatives stronger, smarter and less sensitive to pain. It's the super-spy equivalent of steroids, with a hard-wired DNA twist.
Shutting down the program also means the elimination of all their highly trained operatives who have now become liabilities – like Cross, who suddenly finds himself on a hit list and cut off from the medicine he has been conditioned to need.
Rachel Weisz plays a sympathetic scientist who holds the key to Cross' survival. Edward Norton and Stacy Keach are the retired military bureaucrats calling the control-room shots as they track Cross in a deadly game of global cat-and-mouse.
If you haven't seen any of the previous "Bourne" movies, you'll probably find yourself grasping to hang on to the plot, which refers frequently to things that happened in the earlier Damon dynasty. But Renner is a capable action star, doing many of his own stunts, and Tony Gilroy, slipping into the director's chair for the first time after screenwriting for the three other three films, keeps things real with slam-bang action that relies on practically no computer-generated special effects.
The movie could use a little more of that action, however, and a bit less talk, of which there's quite a bit. However, we do get to see Cross outwit a drone bomber with a rather ingenious ploy involving a wolf that he later tells, half apologetically, "You're gonna be sorry you messed with me."
Another scene finds Cross crafting a lethal weapon out of a compressed air tank and a nail, part of his one-man, lay-waste campaign to an entire house full of hit men. And later, half the world away, he and Weisz's character are involved in a romping 15-minute chase that begins on the rooftops of Manilla, then rolls onto streets below, where it continues as a wild ride on motorcycles.
It's undoubtedly one of the best chase sequences of any movie this year, a real gem of cinematography, stunt work and editing. It probably took several days, if not weeks, to rehearse, arrange and shoot. But after it's over, the movie seems stumped for how to wrap things up.
So, it just kind slams into an ending that doesn't really feel like an ending at all.
"Bourne" fans may leave with a glimmer of hope that Renner's character and Damon's character, who is apparently still alive, will intersect in the next movie.
But other viewers will probably feel like this "Legacy" leaves them adrift, quite
literally, in a sea of unanswered spy questions.

Traditional free-standing baths are gorgeous, but you'll need somewhere to rest your toiletries. A stool is so versatile — just pop a tray on top for your bits and bobs.
The free-standing bath, which is very popular right now, also often lacks easy access to the towel rail. How did the Victorians cope? With a towel stand, of course. A lovely mahogany stand gives a real nod to traditional style, and you can pick up a great bargain online (or at a car-boot sale if you live, like I do, in the U.K.).
There are no rules to say that towels have to be white. Use colored ones to complete your scheme. The red introduced here, and carried through to the flower arrangement, really brings the room to life.
Mirrors are bathroom essentials that allow for a little creativity. Here is a lovely and practical way to show off a collection of vintage-style mirrors — it adds real character and reflects the room's natural light.
I'm very envious of all the space and natural light in this bathroom. There are lots of surfaces for pretty accessories without making things looking cluttered. Rather than lots of little pieces, keep to scale and go for furniture and accessories that are bit larger where you have the room.
Glass apothecary jars are lovely accessories and keep everything neat and tidy while still in view. They also looking amazing with a collection of guest soaps, which your visitors will appreciate.
A splash of greenery is lovely in a bathroom, especially if you can use it to bring the outside in — like in this gorgeous bathroom with a view. An aspidistra stand is a traditional accessory put to great use here, where there's enough space for it not to feel cluttered. You can easily pick up a cheap wooden one and simply paint it whatever color suits your bathroom.
I say no bathroom is complete without candles. I love to switch on my music, light my candles, turn the lights off and wallow in heavenly scents. But (listen to the voice of experience here) be sure to get good-quality beeswax or soy candles so as not to ruin your decor with black smoke.
This room feels very Victorian with the traditional sink and tiles, the use of dark wood and loads of accessories. In fact, it is very cleverly organized to be practical and easy to clean. I love the toilet-paper holder — it's a lovely way of injecting humor into the room.

Former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Chaz Bono has split from his real life partner, Jennifer Elia.
Bono and Elia, who had been dating since 2005, "are no longer a couple," a rep for Bono told ABCNews.com today.
"Chaz Bono and his fiancée, Jennifer Elia, have jointly announced that they have called off their engagement and are no longer a couple," the rep said. "They leave this relationship with great love, respect and affection towards one another. No further amplification will be forthcoming and they ask that you respect their privacy at this time."
PHOTOS: Chaz Bono, From Chastity to Chaz
Bono proposed to Elia atop Seattle's space needle earlier this year. The proposal was featured during "Being Chaz," an hour long special on Oprah Winfrey's OWN that aired in November.
Bono's relationship with Elia featured heavily in "Becoming Chaz," the documentary about his transition from female to male that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and aired on OWN. In the film, Elia expressed her reservations with Bono's decision to become a man, lamenting his hormone-induced mood swings and harsher personality.
"Hormones change people and I think he's leveled out right now," she told "Nightline's" Cynthia McFadden in May. "There was a period where I felt they were kind of spiked. The testosterone was like really machismo, and it was hard to deal with."

Confidence that the Australian opposition might come up with a politician that knew a little bit about technology and did not do things that would turn the country into an IT snooping haven have been dashed.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott admitted that he did not understand his communications spokesman Tony Smith's broadband policy.
He told hacks that he was "No Bill Gates and I don't claim to be any kind of tech head". After all voters who know a little bit about technology like being called "tech heads" in the same way that Aussie politicians like being called "d**k heads".
Apparently Abbott missed the briefing when Smith announced the policy which was to guarantee minimum broadband speeds of 12 megabits per second (mbps) for 97 per cent of homes.
In fact it was fairly clear that he did not really know anything at all. Hacks asked him what his broadband network's peak speed of 12mbps actually meant.
"If you are going to get me into a technical argument, I'm going to lose it because I am not a tech head,'' he said. ''We are offering 12 and up ... but in the vast majority of cases it will be a lot more than that, a lot faster than that.''
Abbott said the coalition would deliver a ''good'' broadband scheme that was quicker and cheaper than Labor's offering.
The government's campaign spokesman, Chris Bowen said that Abbott didn't seem embarrassed by the fact that he doesn't understand the policy.
Although Bowen did not seem embarrassed that his party wants to use broadband to spy on Australians and set up the largest censored Internet network outside China.

Like Western businessmen who thought they could make a mint out of China simply because they heard the figure 1 billion plus consumers, I think most of these sports will struggle in the medium term.
The IPL had the backing of an already wealthy national board and well known bollywood stars, advantages other sports will not have.
In fact a great deal of the "product" of the IPL seems to be glitz and glamour, as evidenced by the paucity of hard stats and scorecards shown during the TV coverage.
I question whether attending, or even watching, live sport for sports sake is a part of Indian culture, and this will make it hard for any secondary sport to take off.
It is certainly a mistake to think a league can survive simply on a TV contract, for all of the worlds richest leagues the old staple of "match day revenue" at the ground can be almost as important.
Rascar, the NFL in america receives roughly 4 billion (with a b) dollars per year for its broadcasting rights alone. And the labor contract with the players determines salary capping based on a percentage of revenue. Similarly, the more (financially) successful MLB teams receive hundreds of millions of dollars from their game broadcasting networks before they even count the gate.
The IPL currently has the advantage of 3-4 times more consumers and for all intents and purposes no competition from other sports leagues. Buy buy buy.

Gold and Brocade
Photos by Pete Navey
These jeans have been one of my favourite things to wear this season. They have all the comfort of jeans and all the excitement of brocade. Although pattern and printed jeans have been around forever, I really think the last few seasons has seen brands like J Brand, Zara and Current Elliot bring it to another level.
As an avid denim lover this just feels like a great new way to wear my old favs. Win win.
Who do you think does the best embellished denim?

QB Kyle Allen breaks down final five
By Erik McKinney
And then there were five for ESPN 150 quarterback
Kyle Allen
(Scottsdale, Ariz./Desert Mountain).
On Tuesday, the 6-foot-3, 197-pound quarterback trimmed his lengthy list of offers to a more manageable number. The nation's No. 128 overall player and No. 5 pocket passer announced on Twitter that his final five schools are Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M and UCLA.
When reached via text message, Allen broke down each of his finalists:
On Notre Dame:
"Notre Dame is unique because it's a national power, with a top ten world school -- great mix of the two. Also, very great people there.
On Ohio State:
"Ohio State is Ohio State. Great campus, awesome alumni and a great coaching staff. Lots of support from everyone around the university and a great chance to make it to the NFL, as you see with [Urban] Meyer's track record with QBs."
On Oklahoma State:
"Unbelievable facilities. So much support from alumni and fans. And a QB friendly offense. The new OC (Mike Yurcich) is unknown but will be known seen because he is one of the smartest guys I've met. [Mike] Gundy is a player's coach, too."
On Texas A&M:
"Another place with awesome facilities. Great coaching staff with [Kevin] Sumlin and [QB coach Jake] Spavital. Another place with great people and awesome support. Really on the rise and have a great recruiting base. Also would be playing SEC football."
On UCLA:
"UCLA is another [Notre Dame]-type school as in education and football. Another school on the rise. Amazing people. Coaches are great. Coach [Jim] Mora is a great dude, very family oriented. The Mazzones are very smart guys. Amazing campus too."
It's a disappointing result for Arizona State, which put on a full-court press to keep the standout quarterback at home, but couldn't land a spot in the final five.
Allen has long been active in the recruiting process. He understood the pressure that can be placed on a quarterback to make an early decision and he wanted to be ready to do exactly that, and finish the process before the start of his senior season.
Last year, Allen took unofficial visits to Duke, North Carolina,ĀOhio State, Stanford, UCLA and USC. He tripped to Oklahoma State and Texas A&M this spring and will visit Notre Dame in June. He also has a return trip to Ohio State planned for June 21.
While he did his best to prepare for the attention that would come with the recruiting process, it still took its toll and forced Allen to trim his list at this point, with a commitment coming perhaps in the nextĀmonth or so.
Allen has been impressive this spring, taking home quarterback MVP honors at the Los Angeles and Chicago Nike camps, as well as an Elite 11 finals invitation. This list from Allen could begin to shake loose some of the quarterback recruiting in the West, as several signal-callers, including
Manny Wilkins
(San Marin, Calif./Novato) had been told by coaches that they want to see where Allen is headed before moving on to another quarterback. It's likely not a coincidence that Wilkins received an offer from Arizona State this past Sunday.
During his junior season, Allen completed 72 percent of his passes for 3,119 yards and 36 touchdowns against seven interceptions.

Crashes, delays drop at Vandehei Interchange
Date: 06/18/2012
The number of crashes and the average wait times for vehicles both dropped during the first year the roundabouts at the Vandehei Interchange on I-25 in Cheyenne were open to traffic.
The roundabouts opened on May 25, 2011, 25 days ahead of schedule. Reiman Corp. of Cheyenne completed the project for $6.1 million.
In the year since the roundabouts opened there have been three crashes reported at the interchange. None of those crashes resulted in injuries.
During the year prior to beginning the construction that widened the Vandehei bridge and replaced the intersections on each side with roundabouts, there were 11 crashes and four people injured at the interchange. When compared to the average number of crashes annually during the five years prior to construction, crashes dropped 54.5 percent during the first year the roundabouts were in operation.
Traffic engineers consider three years of crash data the minimum needed to draw long-term conclusions about the performance of an intersection, but the data from the roundabouts' first year of operation are considered a good start to the ongoing assessment.
Studies completed before the project was designed indicated under projected traffic volumes the existing intersections with stop signs would result in average side-street delays of 37 to 45 seconds per vehicle during peak traffic. If traffic signals were installed, the projected average delay per vehicle during peak volumes was 32 seconds.
"We had predicted an average delay of somewhere in the six to eight seconds per vehicle range for roundabouts, and we're doing better than that," said Paul Jones, WYDOT's assistant state traffic engineer. "So these things are operating quite well and quite safely. We're not getting long queues of vehicles waiting to enter, and the queues dissipate quickly."
However, improvements can still be made, Jones said. During heavy snowstorms, the lack of storage space for snow creates difficulties in clearing the roundabouts using conventional snow-removal equipment. Also, some drivers still are not clear on the rules for driving through the roundabouts.
Drivers approaching a roundabout need to yield to any pedestrians at the crosswalk and then look to the left and yield to traffic already on the roundabout. If there is no traffic approaching from the left, drivers do not have to stop before entering the roundabout.
Vehicles entering the roundabouts from the bridge do not have the right of way. They must yield to traffic already on the roundabout, just like vehicles entering from the exit ramps or service roads.
Once on the roundabout, drivers should proceed to their exit and use their right-turn signal to let other drivers know they'll be leaving the roundabout at the next street.
Videos, animations and graphics on how traffic flows on a roundabout are available on WYDOT's roundabout education page.
There are currently four roundabouts on Wyoming's highway system, and a fifth is scheduled for completion later this year at Hoback Junction.
