Who thought fraudulent businessmen would one day take advantage of Egyptian style architecture?

Bold is a radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools to create extraordinary wealth while also positively impacting the lives of billions.
"The Best Book for Exponential Entrepreneurs"
What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories.
"The Financial Times' Critique Doesn't Detract"
Mark Twain once observed, "A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on." His observation rings true: urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus public-health scares circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas (business people, teachers, politicians, journalists, and others) struggle to make their ideas "stick". In this indispensable guide, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds draw their power from the same six traits.
"Even Better The Second Time"
A masterful account of today's money culture, showing how the underpricing of risk leads to catastrophe. With his trademark humor and brilliant anecdotes, Michael Lewis paints the mood and market factors leading up to each event, weaves contemporary accounts to show what people thought was happening at the time, and then, with the luxury of hindsight, analyzes what actually happened and what we should have learned from experience.
"Good - But you need to know what you are getting."
Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real-estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his number-one best-selling Liar's Poker.
"Finally, I understand what happened!"
In This Changes Everything Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn't just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. It's an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies.
The international monetary system has collapsed three times in the past hundred years, in 1914, 1939, and 1971. Each collapse was followed by a period of tumult: War, civil unrest, or significant damage to the stability of the global economy. Now James Rickards, the acclaimed author of Currency Wars, shows why another collapse is rapidly approaching - and why this time, nothing less than the institution of money itself is at risk.
"A good review of the global financial system"

"Pretty Good, but could be Great"
Niall Ferguson follows the money to tell the human story behind the evolution of finance, from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to the latest upheavals on what he calls Planet Finance. Bread, cash, dosh, dough, loot, lucre, moolah, readies, the wherewithal: Call it what you like, it matters. To Christians, love of it is the root of all evil. To generals, it's the sinews of war. To revolutionaries, it's the chains of labor. Niall Ferguson shows that finance is in fact the foundation of human progress.

"Everyone Should Read This!"
Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion dollar question: How is it that Israel - a country of 7.1 million, only 60 years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources - produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada, and the UK?
"Interesting and worth the time"
Just as we were getting used to the Information Age, Daniel Pink tells us that it is ending. With it goes our focus on charts, statistics, and linear thinking. Traditional "left-brain" activities, like logic, analysis, and repetitive production, are being turned over to robots, computers, and offshore labor. The valued skills of the 21st Century will be those of the right brain: empathy, design, synthesis, and contextual thinking.
"A good reminder of the book"
In the beginning was Josh Levine, an idealistic programming genius who dreamed of wresting control of the market from the big exchanges that, again and again, gave the giant institutions an advantage over the little guy. Levine created a computerized trading hub named "Island" where small traders swapped stocks, and over time his invention morphed into a global electronic stock market that sent trillions in capital through a vast jungle of fiber-optic cables.
"Definitive history on Electronic Trading"
Power is shifting - from large, stable armies to loose bands of insurgents, from corporate leviathans to nimble start-ups, and from presidential palaces to public squares. But power is also changing, becoming harder to use and easier to lose. As a result, argues award-winning columnist and former Foreign Policy editor Moisés Naím, all leaders have less power than their predecessors, and the potential for upheaval is unprecedented.
"The Proper use of Power"
In 1998, three Harvard Business School graduates - two men and one woman - turned down six-figure salaries at big corporations, bet on themselves, and launched their own new companies. By their 10-year reunion, their audacity had paid huge dividends. They'd made many millions of dollars, created hundreds of jobs and left their mark on the world. The Intelligent Entrepreneur tells the compelling and instructive story of how these three young founders did it.

Most Boston residents oppose death penalty for Marathon bomber Tsarnaev: pollHolly Bailey at Yahoo News 8 days ago
A majority of Boston residents believe Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should not receive the death penalty for his admitted role in the deadly 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, according to a new poll released Monday.
The survey conducted for WBUR, Boston's NPR station, found that most Boston residents polled — 62 percent — said Tsarnaev should be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted. Twenty-seven percent said he should receive the death penalty.
The poll comes as the prosecution is expected to wrap up its case within days in the first phase of Tsarnaev's federal death penalty trial in Boston. A jury will first decide whether Tsarnaev is guilty before moving on to the penalty phase of the trial, when they will determine whether he lives or dies for his role in the April 2013 bombings, which killed three and injured nearly 300.
But the WBUR poll is the first conducted since Judy Clarke, Tsarnaev's attorney, admitted her client's role in the bombings. "It was him," Clarke said in her opening statement earlier this month.
Boston Marathon bomber Tsarnaev to face state charges for police officer's murderHolly Bailey at Yahoo News 12 days ago
Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was indicted on local charges related to the shooting death of Massachusetts Institute of Technology Police Officer Sean Collier three days after the April 2013 attacks.
The charges, which had been long expected, came a day after forensics experts testified in Tsarnaev's federal trial they had identified Collier's blood on a pair of white golf gloves found in the driver's seat floorboard of a Honda Accord that belonged to the confessed bomber. The car was found abandoned on a street in Watertown, Mass., after a shootout between the Tsarnaev brothers and police four days after the bombings.
In astatement Thursday, Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan announced a local grand jury had indicted Tsarnaev for Collier's murder. She said her office would "move forward with criminal charges … after the current federal trial is completed."
That means the jury could weigh in on Tsarnaev's guilt sometime next month before moving on to decide whether Tsarnaev lives or dies for his role in the bombings.
Live updates: Trial of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar TsarnaevHolly Bailey at Yahoo News 20 days ago
The trial of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev continues Thursday. Testimony focused on the murder of MIT police officer Sean Collier, who was shot and killed at close range as the Tsarnaev brothers allegedly tried to steal his gun hours after their pictures were broadcast as suspects in the marathon bombings. Collier was shot six times, including three times in the head.
Some jurors gasped and teared up as they viewed gruesome autopsy photos of the gunshot wounds to Collier's head. The head wounds caused "direct destruction of the brain," Renee Robinson, the Boston medical examiner who performed the autopsy, testified. "His heart stopped... He inhaled his own blood."
"Every time i recall this, I think it is the most terrifying moment, the most difficult decision in my life," Meng said as he took the stand, giving jurors a harrowing account of his dealings with the Tsarnaev brothers that night.
In Boston Marathon bombing courtroom, gruesome testimony and dread at what is to comeHolly Bailey at Yahoo News 27 days ago
BOSTON—The clock on the video said 2:49 p.m., and it was hard to imagine that anyone in the courtroom didn't know what was coming up next. In the nearly two years since two bombs exploded near the finish line of the April 2013 Boston Marathon, footage of the two fireballs erupting along Boylston Street, one after the other, has been replayed millions of times, accompanied by gruesome photos and video of the bloody aftermath.
But as prosecutors began presenting their case against accused bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on Wednesday with silent footage of those deadly bombs that killed three people and injured nearly 300 more, there was an edge in the air among the jurors, victims and others inside the Boston federal courtroom where the trial is taking place.
That was followed moments later by grisly, up-close video of the aftermath of the first bomb shot by Colton Kilgore, a North Carolina man who had been on hand to film his mother-in-law crossing the finish line but ended up capturing several members of his family nearly bleeding to death from wounds sustained in the explosion.

BOSTON — One is a self-employed housepainter. Another works for a local water department. There's a mother of four who has twin boys in the eighth grade; a registered nurse who bought an RV to travel cross-country with her boyfriend this spring; and a retired actuary whose cousin was killed at the World Trade Center on 9/11 but who insists she can remain impartial in the most high-profile terrorism case on U.S. soil since those deadly 2001 attacks.
They are among the 18 people — 12 jurors and six alternates — who will decide if Dzhokhar Tsarnaev lives or dies for his alleged role in the dual bombings at the April 2013 Boston Marathon, which killed three people and injured nearly 300 more. After almost two months of jury selection, opening arguments in the case are set to begin Wednesday, in spite of continued efforts by Tsarnaev's defense team to move the trial out of Boston.
Juror 487, a mother of four from Cape Cod, said she also thought Tsarnaev was guilty based on media reports about the case. But during questioning last month, she said she could remain open-minded, telling the judge, "You're not guilty until you're proven guilty."
The accused Boston Marathon bomber's Hail Mary to change trial venueHolly Bailey at Yahoo News 1 mth ago
BOSTON -- The federal judge overseeing the trial of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has found 61 of the 70 people needed for a suitable jury pool and predicted opening arguments would begin in the "near future."
But on Thursday, Tsarnaev's attorneys made a last-ditch effort to move the trial out of Boston, renewing their argument that it's impossible to find a truly impartial jury in a city where so many residents were affected by the deadly 2013 attacks.
A three-member panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit heard arguments on whether to move the high-profile trial out of Boston to a more neutral city like Washington, D.C. — a request that has already been rejected three times by the presiding district judge in the case, George O'Toole.
"Justice has to have the appearance of justice," Judith Mizner, Tsarnaev's court-appointed attorney, told the appeals court, adding there needs to be "public confidence" in the judicial system. She argued Boston-area residents have too many emotional and personal ties to the bombings to truly weigh the case against Tsarnaev fairly.
"The voir dire process is working," Weinreb said.
In Boston Marathon bombing case, jury selection is an ongoing struggleHolly Bailey at Yahoo News 1 mth ago
The disqualifications seemed obvious. Her late father, she explained, had spent more than two decades serving on the board of the Boston Athletic Association, the group that sponsors the marathon, and her brothers were still involved in the organization. One had been near the marathon's finish line in April 2013 only minutes before two bombs were detonated, killing three and injuring nearly 300. The marathon was in her blood, and what happened that day had affected her deeply. There was no way she could be impartial, the juror said.
Besides, the middle-aged brunette added, she already believed Tsarnaev was guilty. "That's clear," she said, nodding ever so slightly in the direction of the accused bomber, who sat a few feet away from her at the opposite end of a long conference-room table. Tsarnaev briefly glanced at her before he sank back into his chair.
"I can't un-forget what I already know," she bluntly replied. "I think he's guilty."
He was "not a fan of his brother," the juror said, referring to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who offered no visible reaction to the mention of his older brother, Tamerlan.
"I want to know why," juror 345 said.
The juror paused. "Don't you have to hear why?"
Tsarnaev attorneys renew bid to move Boston Marathon bombing trial
In a court filing Thursday, Tsarnaev's attorneys said roughly the same amount of potential jurors — 69 percent — have a "self-identified connection" to the April 2013 bombings, meaning they were personally affected or knew someone who was. "Stronger support for a finding of presumed prejudice in Boston is difficult to imagine," Timothy Watkins, one of Tsarnaev's attorneys wrote in the filing. "The existing record precludes a fair trial in Boston."
Based on an analysis of juror questionnaires, the defense noted that just 345 prospective jurors — or 25 percent of those summoned in the case — said they were "unsure" when asked if they had "formed an opinion" that Tsarnaev is guilty, while 66 potential jurors said "no."
The motion came just hours after court officials announced that opening arguments in the closely watched trial would be delayed. U.S. District Court Judge George O'Toole, who is presiding over the case, said earlier this month that the trial would begin next Monday. But jury selection has moved at an achingly slow pace in recent days, fueling rumors that the court would have no choice but to delay the proceedings.
'Gentle Judy's' biggest challenge: Defending the accused Boston Marathon bomber
Taking a seat between his attorneys at a table in the front, the 21-year-old suspect, dressed in khakis and a dark sweater, fidgeted under the microscopic gaze of the potential jury pool before him. They were fixated on the young man widely portrayed as a heartless terrorist who killed with no remorse. Drumming his fingers on his chair, his face aimed toward the ground, Tsarnaev avoided looking at anyone — save for the woman to his left, his attorney Judy Clarke, who suddenly caught his eye and gave him a gentle smile.
Tsarnaev visibly relaxed, returning her smile with a brief one of his own. And for the first time during jury selection, the accused bomber looked out toward the room of Boston-area residents who could be called upon to decide whether he lives or dies for his alleged role in the April 2013 bombings that killed three people and injured nearly 300 more.
As the potential jurors sized up Tsarnaev — many getting their first clear look at his face, which bears the scars of gunshot wounds he sustained before his arrest — Clarke, in turn, studied them, her blue eyes slowly scanning the room, gauging their reaction to her client.
That presumably includes Tsarnaev.
Jury selection begins in trial of accused Boston bomber Tsarnaev
"We will never forget," it reads.
Not that people here ever could. Nearly two years after the attacks, which paralyzed the city and shocked the world, many in Boston are still recovering from the bombs which killed three people and injured nearly 300, including 16 who lost limbs. Now the city is preparing to relive the gruesome horror all over again.
RELATED: Who's who trial for Boston Marathon bombing trial
Jury selection began Monday for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 21-year-old surviving suspect in the attacks. He is accused of plotting and carrying out the twin bombings along with his older brother, Tamerlan, who was killed during a confrontation with police four days after the attacks. The brothers are also accused of shooting and killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer while on the run from the authorities. Tsarnaev, who has pleaded not guilty, faces the death penalty if convicted.

"Thank You cards that matched my wedding invitations! They had the same foil stamp and our names were large and easy to read. They were the perfect size for a short, sweet, and to-the-point note. The stripes on the back really broke up the monotony of a plain white card."
"At first I was a bit put off by the flat thank you but the limited space and cute design on the back will make every thank you seem "fuller" instead of opening a big card and writing one or two sentences. We opted for our return address to be pre printed on the back of the envelopes to help facilitate the process."
"This matches the invitations and the RSVPs and is a great way to say thanks to your guests for coming to your special day! I put our picture on the back too!"
"Love the foil and the paper is thick and high quality. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a beautiful embossed foil look! Note that they print their logo on the back. Prompt postage to Sydney Australia."
"I was going for something very sweet, classic and simply beautiful. This card lived up to my requirements and so happy when I received it. I chose the gold foil on blush colored paper with my name at the bottom. I kept the back simple with no pattern/photo/text on it and the corners were cut out. Even with these minimal designs, the card is absolutely lovely."

From my laboratory in the Castle East, to the master bedroom where the Vampires feast
Yes friends, Halloween is nearly here! I did not get a chance to get down to the DLR for the spook-day festivities, so I have decided to make the best of it with some classic pumpkin carving photos. My fiancé and I turned on Hocus Pocus starring Bette Midler and a once-beautiful Sarah Jessica Parker and began the ritual. Another program you may also find interesting, the Monsters and Aliens Halloween special. I know, DreamWorks SKG, boo! I too have never been a DWA (trading title) fan but this is a pretty good little show.
I will note that if given the chance, use the carving tools as opposed to the standard cutlery available in your kitchen. They make scooping and cutting a much easier task especially the saw tools.
Here are a few photos of our gourds Monicas being the skull and bones, mine being scary guy. Please use this thread to show some of your vegetable mutilations!
Happy Halloween

The feel of this song is great. I love the bass (that was the "dun dun" in my summary) and what sounds like a vibraphone. It's long and repetitive in a good way, with new layers added here and there. Overall pretty unique, which is what I'm looking for most of the time. Good job!
Haha yeah I picked up on the "dun"s
I love pizzicato strings for bass
I had to mix two bell sounds to get what I got here
IT IS REPETITIVE, and I wanted to add in some stuff, but I didn't wanna ruin the calm!
Whoo thanks a bunch for the review :]

Great guest. Friendly quiet and clean. Welcome back anytime.
Wonderful guest, I would recommend Sabra to anybody!
Sabra is super cool and a wonderful guest. She's writing a book or two and is very interesting to converse with. I highly recommend her to ereryone. 5 star guest for sure. All the best Sabra. I 'll hope to see you again.
Sabra is a very nice and open minded person, and I really like to see her smiling. She felt very comfortable in the aptm and left it in perfect conditions. I really recommend everybody to let Sabra spend some days in your aptm, too.
As I was away during their stay, I didn t really meet the guest but the communication was perfect and they left the place clean and tidy.
This was Sabra's second visit to Private n' Peaceful Parnell, and is an amazing guest! Fits in with anything that's happening in the household & made many friends while in Auckland. If she would like to stay with you.... 'don't turn her down' or you will be missing a very vibrant lady. Thanks for being here Sabra.....
Sabra was a wonderful guest. She fitted into our household perfectly. She was great company and we loved having her around the house. At the same time she was independent and went out and did her own thing. The perfect guest!
It was so so lovely to meet Sabra and to have her to stay with Dane and I. She was the perfect guest, very friendly and respectful and fun to be around. Her time here coincided with our local wine and food festival where I introduced her to my family and she enjoyed the day out there with them. They all gave Sabra rave reviews also and we were all glad that we got to meet her. She left the room clean and tidy and kept up great communication, thanks Sabra hopefully we can meet up again one day!
Sabra was a pleasure to have stay. We had a glitch with wifi and her bright positive personality shone through it. I recommend her to all. Best wishes Sabra and hope the rest of the trip through NZ was a great experience, especially the wines!! Cheers, Adi
Thank you Sabra for choosing to stay with us. We really enjoyed having you here. We hope you enjoyed Queenstown and your trip to Milford. Happy Holidays!

This job allowed for detailed as well as "big picture" decision making. Boater's World was a good company to work for, decent pay and good benefits.Cons
There were not too many downsides to the company. At times it felt we were behind the curve as far as technology went but all-n-all no complaints.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Any advice I could give the would be a moot point by now. The company is out of business. If I had to do it over again I would push for more big sales that are easier for the public to understand and easier for store associates to facilitate.Recommends

Re: Calendar Syncing Problem in response to Sebastian TruffautI too am having this problem on 3GS / iTunes 9.2 / 10.6.4 and all I can say is it is HORRIBLE. Calendar's are not accurate now. I've wasted half my day trying to figure out what this problem is and now realize it's a major bug on Apple's end.

Tenchi Muyo is the story of Tenchi Masaki who is training to work for the family shrine that hold's the remains of a female demon name Ryoko, who he awakens when he breaks into the family shrine. And from then on it is pure comedy bliss with some fighting, space police, and space princesses thrown into the mix, how will Tenchi survive?, which makes the viewer wonder if Tenchi thinks he is a cat (Inside joke). This is a oldie but a goodie, I just wonder if funimation is going to leave the dubbed intacted (because in the Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki', version I heard the dub and most of the original voice actors were changed, and since I saw that funimation had the last two Tenchi shows I figure maybe they might re-release this title but with these voice actors instead of the original.) anyway this is the series that got me into anime (after watching Akira, it also got me interested in what anime was). If you are a anime fan or just looking for a marathon anime to watch with a group of friends (eps.1-13), then Tenchi Muyo! is a must to watch. :2thumbs:
I have the original OVA on DVD before it became rare and it was worth every penny.

Paul Butler: Gideon's Muted Trumpet
Paul Butler, a professor of law at Georgetown University and a former federal prosecutor, is the author of "Let's Get Free: A Hip-Hop Theory of Justice."FIFTY years after the Supreme Court, in Gideon v. Wainwright, guaranteed legal representation to poor people charged with serious crimes, low-income criminal defendants, particularly black ones, are significantly worse off.Don't blame public defenders, who are usually overwhelmed. The problem lies with power-drunk prosecutors — I know, because I used to be one — and "tough on crime" lawmakers, who have enacted some of the world's harshest sentencing laws. They mean well, but have created a system that makes a mockery of "equal justice under the law." A black man without a high school diploma is more likely to be in prison than to have a job.

To Ski…Or Not To Ski?
Spring has sprung at last, but it seems as though it has been here for months already. Usually, snow can linger well into summer, up on the high plateaus of southern Utah. Several weeks ago, two friends and I hoped it would last at least through the middle of March. We wanted to ski, and we wanted to ski at Bryce Canyon. To ski you need snow, and there has been a noticeable lack of it this winter. Temperatures have been higher than average here in Utah, with conditions great for hiking but abysmal for skiing (click here for that story). The generally thick blanket of snow we know so well had morphed into slightly more than a veneer. We could only hope for the best as John, Cathy, and I stuff our skis, suitcases, and snack items into the back of my car and drive off in wild anticipation of the miles of cross–country ski trails that Ruby's Inn grooms just outside the Park. We would spend two nights at the Inn and get in as much skiing as our little hearts desired.

Wild Weather on the Wildcat Canyon Trail
Generally, "February" and "Wildcat Canyon" are not words you hear in the same sentence around southwest Utah, except for maybe in this sentiment: "Wildcat Canyon? You can't hike there in February. There's too much snow!" Or perhaps in this little nugget: "Wildcat Canyon? On the Kolob Terrace road? You need a snowmobile to get up there!"

Rocking the Watchman Trail
I have never met a trail in Zion National Park that I did not like. Long, short, steep, level, paved, rocky, hard sandy slickrock or soft forest soil, it does not matter. I will hike wherever and whenever the opportunity presents itself. A few weeks ago when I had to be in the Park for a 1:30pm volunteer meeting, just such an opportunity appeared. Dizzy and hyper after snacking on a German chocolate brownie during the drive over, I left my friend Lucy happily napping on a picnic table in the early February sunshine. When I exited my meeting two hours later, we headed for the Watchman Trail.

Winter Road Tripping – Lost Palms Oasis
In the waning hours of my two–week "2014 Winter SoCal Adventure" last month, fate offered up a gorgeous southern California Christmas Eve Day hike. Barely 20 miles up the interstate from my condo in Indio, I found exactly what I was looking for once more in the fan palm oases of Joshua Tree National Park.

Winter Road Tripping – Forty Nine Palms Oasis
On my recent "Winter 2014 SoCal Adventure," I found myself in a dilemma. Should I pocket an easy $100 and burn some morning daylight by sitting through what should be no more than a one–hour time–share presentation, knowing that pigs would fly before I ever bought into anything? Or, should I just forget the quick cash and head for the hills of nearby Joshua Tree National Park? For a summer seasonal park ranger and barely employed geology adjunct, the decision made itself.

Winter Road Tripping – An Accidental Sea
During my "2014 Winter SoCal Adventure," I took a leisurely winter solstice kayak tour in 75°F southern California sunshine wearing sandals and a Santa hat. Ten days later, at home in cloud–shrouded southern Utah, it is nearly 50°F colder and I am wearing sweatpants and two pairs of socks. A winter Pacific storm is blustering its way across the western U.S., so it looks like I will be trading that kayak and sandals for some cross-country skis and insulated boots.

Winter Road Tripping – Balboa Park
It was billed as my "2014 Winter SoCal Adventure," and I had been planning it since last spring. I would drive south for a week of urban camping in John and Cathy's guest room, bird watch in lagoons, visit a museum, admire architecture, splosh around in tide pools and look for anemones to tickle, reconnect with Jo whom I have not seen in 30 years, be treated to dinner, leave the city, kayak on an inland sea, live a cushy condo life for five days, become familiar with the romance and sex life of dates, hike to desert oases, and spend Christmas Day bird watching once again. By the time it was all over I would have been gone for ten days, put away some serious fermented grape beverage, added 1,420 miles to my car's odometer, and experienced the best vacation I have had in years while wearing a custom–made Santa Claus hat.

I have located my little buddies here in southwest Utah! Well, I have not located them, exactly, but I have found clear evidence of their existence.

And just who do you think these little rascals might be, industriously re–engineering their short stretch of the Santa Clara River?

Quake prone
Like much of the Pacific, the Solomons regularly experiences earthquakes.A string of quakes rocked the western Solomon Islands in January, with the largest of 7.2 causing a tsunami estimated at eight feet (nearly 2.5 metres).About 1,000 people - almost a third of the population - were believed to have been left homeless on Rendova Island due to the resultant damage.In April 2007, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake in the western Solomons triggered a tsunami that killed more than 50 people and displaced thousands.
In September last year, a devastating tsunami swept along coasts in the Pacific islands of Samoa and Tonga, killing 186 people and wiping out entire villages.Villages and resorts in Samoa, American Samoa and northern Tonga were flattened by the giant waves generated by the massive earthquake, the strongest in nearly a century.

Gravity Rush for PS Vita looks hawt
I'm surprised by Gravity Rush every time I see it, mostly because I keep forgetting what it is and assume it's a puzzle game. Then I'm reminded that it's a weird action title with a colorful girl in a comic book world, and I'm excited all over again.
This new trailer shows off a lot of the interface, revealing how it makes use of all the Vita's toys to vary up the gameplay. As one of the lesser known Vita titles, it's a bit of a wild card, but it looks rather pretty and seems to be solid. Hopefully, it turns out well.

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has told Christian Benteke to stay until after the world cup as he can get a bigger move than the clubs that are currently chasing him.
Benteke is a good player and has all the attributes to make himself a top-drawer forward if he makes the right step up to a bigger club at the end of the season.
The Belgian forward has been brilliant this campaign and has drawn strong interest from the Gunners after impressing since his £8 million summer move from Genk.
However, Lambert is determined to keep top-scorer Benteke if the club secure Premier League safety. And has reportedly told him that if he stays and continues his good form for next season, he could get a move to the likes of Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid according to the Daily Express.
Although the Gunners are not wining much, they are still one of the biggest clubs on the planet and are a massive step up for the Villa striker.
So Lambert should just worry about keeping his job next season rather than worry about Benteke coming here, because there is almost no doubt he will be on the move in the summer.
