Man Utd consider final bid to sign Lucas Moura
Manchester United are considering whether or not to make a final bid to sign Sao Paulo's rising star Lucas Moura, despite reports emerging that the deal had been called off.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is a big fan of the 19-year-old and had hoped an offer of 25 million pounds ($38.74 million) would be enough for Sao Paulo to part company with their prize asset.
But after the club was told to increase their bid to 30 million pounds a deal bringing Moura to Old Trafford looked to be dead.
The player's agent Wagner Ribeiro had announced Tuesday that the 19-year-old would not be moving to England.
"Manchester United made an offer which was refused and will not make another because they came up to their limit," Ribeiro said.
"There is no possibility of him leaving now," he added.
Later, however, Ribeiro appeared to backtrack, with The Guardian newspaper reporting that Moura had instructed Ribeiro to continue negotiating with United.
"The player is my boss, I always talk to him," Ribeiro said.
"He determines what I do, my objectives."
"If he says that he doesn't want to leave Sao Paulo, I won't even listen to the offer. He told me to keep negotiating when I talked about Manchester United's interest.
"It's a great offer. If it was an [impossible to refuse] one, he would leave, but he is happy at Sao Paulo too. If he stays there, life goes on."
United remain optimistic that a compromise can be reached, with reports in the British media indicating that further negotiations are likely to take place soon.
Ferguson has confirmed the club's interest in the Brazilian but downplayed reports of a swift resolution to the deal.
"We haven't reached an agreement for the player," he said.
"We've shown an interest but until such time we reach an agreement we can't say he's ours."
The talented midfielder is currently in Cardiff with the Brazilian squad preparing for their Olympic showdown with Egypt at Wales' Millennium Stadium.
Newcastle United have made contact with Marseille about the possibility of signing French international Loic Remy.
The 25-year-old is valued by the club at around 15-million pounds but with the forward entering the final year of his contract the Magpies are looking to negotiate a fee much lower.
Both Arsenal and Tottenham are believed to be interested in the striker who scored 20 goals last season but Newcastle are understood to have made the first move.
The Toon are said to be fearing the departure of Senegalese forward Demba Ba, with reports in Russia suggesting the player is on the cusp of completing a switch to Rubin Kazan.
Ba has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave the club for just 7-million pounds should a bid be made prior to July 31 and Turkish side Galatasaray are also said to be interested in the forward who scored 16 goals last season.
Liverpool's pursuit of Swansea midfielder Joe Allen took another twist as it emerged the player has a clause in his contract that allows him to leave the Welsh club for 15-million pounds should a "top five" club make an offer.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed his interest in the midfielder last week and is said to be determined to land the Wales international.
Tottenham are understood to have made a bid of 10-million pounds for the player, with Swansea having reluctantly indicated a willingness to do business should an acceptable offer be received.
Former Swans boss Rodgers had announced that he agreed not to raid his former club for players for at least a year, but Tottenham's pursuit might lead him to exploit the clause in Allen's contract to secure a deal.
It is understood that Tottenham are not one of the "top five" clubs stipulated in the player's contract, meaning the London side could land the player for significantly less than Liverpool.
Allen is currently preparing for Team GB's Olympic clash with Senegal.

Temporal Artery Biopsy
Topic Contents
Temporal Artery Biopsy
Topic Overview
If you have symptoms of giant cell arteritis (GCA) and your doctor believes you may have it, he or she may order a temporal artery biopsy to make sure.
Giant cell arteritis can occur at various points along an artery . To test for giant cell arteritis, your doctor may have a surgeon take a sample of a blood vessel on your temple and test it for inflammation .
If a temporal artery biopsy shows no signs of inflammation but your symptoms strongly suggest giant cell arteritis, you and your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of treatment and of no treatment. You and your doctor will decide whether or not you will proceed with treatment.
If you are taking high-dose corticosteroids, the biopsy result may not be accurate. In this case, any biopsy testing must be performed as soon as possible, preferably within 2 to 5 days. Biopsies done more than about a week after the start of high-dose corticosteroids may be falsely normal ( false-negative ).

jabo's book
About me: My name is Jannis (Yuh-Nizz), I'm 21, from Germany, right at the end of my media design apprenticeship. I've found back to art in spring '06 after a long pause. I've been doing all kinds of creative hobbies in the last 10 years, including level design, 3d-modeling, texturing, photographing, web design and of course graphic design, the latter three being what I have been doing professionaly for the past 3-4 years.
About my so-called art: I have much too learn. I probably already drew pictures before I could speak, but now I started painting for the first time. Digitally, because I love the medium and color range. Quick and sketchy, because I'm impatient by nature. Environments, because it's the most thrilling aspect in my opinion.
Alright. I started this sketchbook out of pure desperation with no particular art in the back, so here are some of my speedies to fill up. Updates by chance.

Here's something I've been working on and off for the last week with a modified oil-brush (camelhair). The first Painter brush that fits my needs because I can nudge and paint at the same time without having too much trouble with Painter saturation-system. Probably around 3 hours in. Now I'm stuck. I don't know what else to put in. A creature would be cool but there's no space left.

really nice enviroments. They all have a nice ambience and lighting. I want to see you tighten some areas up and work on adding some more details...but I like your sketchy style. I think you did a good job with that on the one with the red-lit rocks and water.
I am available for freelance or fulltime:

Thanks for your comment, and thanks for the praise of the ambience. That's what I'm focussing on at the moment. You're right about the pics being rather sketchy, I'm trying to keep the output high and I'm quite happy about where the "style" is going right now.
Here's something really speedpaint-ish:

Okay, let's take a look at these.
I'm afraid of posting this in the FF-section. It IS finished, but I guess the thread would descend so fast it's even better to post it here in my sketchyard.
A while ago I was to make some drafts of posters that a client wanted to put into his offices. The client decided to be an asshole and told us he didn't want to posters anymore, like... after 2 weeks. Some posters had been done already, so we decided to put some of them into our own office. One of them was my typo-ant (typomeise). Here it is:
My traineeship is almost over. Applied exams are in January, written exams are OVER! So here's a fictional magazine I made in my first year of traineeship. Rather fugly now.
And some random graphic design I've been doing last year when I still had motivation to do this stuff. It's badly executed compared to what I do nowadays, but at least I had ideas:
omg Oo
And here is a guy I made solely to print them in RGB on a Pictrography photoprinter. Colorful, high-saturated pictures with excellent brilliance. You just can't achieve that in Offset or digital printing. I wanted to post another one of them, but I can't find the InDesign file to make a PDF. I'll make up for that.
So, enjoy your christmas time and good luck in ol' dirty 07.

nice stuff! keep going
January 2nd, 2007 #18
Nice environments, my favourite one is with the red mountaints. You really seem to like gloomy moods
January 3rd, 2007 #19
Dan, h2rra, thanks.
EDIT: h2rra: Well, gloomy doesn't neccessarily mean dark or bloodthirsty IMHO. As the saying goes, you're often more exited about things you don't see. I love suggesting stuff that isn't really there. Fool the eye, make it want to explore what's around the corner.
I'm fighting a bad flu at the moment and am also suffering of a weird kind of insomnia that doesn't let me fall asleep at nights. I'm used to sleeping short-time every night but no sleep at all is bugging me to a point of complete madness. Hope I can get some sleep tonight...
EDIT: Yah, overslept today and was half an hour late for work. It worked, 5 hours of glorious snooze. So, maybe I'll paint another speedy today.

you're sick... i sometimes sleep 12 hours a day, but at least 8 hours!
those clouds in he last one are pretty impressive and i like the mood and overall-look of the picture. but i think the ultra-detailed (and very cool) clouds dont work with the undetailed ship (and rock?). maybe some textures thrown onto the ship could work well.
i really like the mood of your pics. how do you achieve that? by picking your palette first? und nach was gehst du wenn du dann die farben aussuchst? also falls dus vorher machst?
and i think the pink should reflect from the ship, at least from the "wing" thats to the right of the picture
January 4th, 2007 #21
Hehe. I was never a big fan of sleeping. When I was in 8th grade or something, I used to go to bed at 3 am and wake up at 7 (when i didn't oversleep). It's all a matter of will. I usually can't sleep when I'm not really tired, so I usually go to bed at 2 am nowadays. The night is a mysterious time, it's all dimmed and quiet. Why should you waste it by sleeping. It depends on your genes of course, but I know a lot of people sleeping 12 hours a day (HALF OF THE F****** DAY, PICTURE IT!), and they're dozy all day long, while I'm full awake and active. The more you sleep, the more sleepy you are when you don't sleep.
Okay, back to the pics: The cloud-one is a WIP (I usually don't post wips). The clouds are done with both the brush-tool and the smudge-tool using a semicircle-shaped brush without spacing. That allows you to scatter the picture when moving the smudge-tool fast and blend stuff by moving slowly. It was a test and I was adding the crawler robot later to add some action.
About mood: As I said in my edited post above, hiding things is very effective when you want to add mystery. Varying diffuse and sharp edges works wonders. I'm having trouble with line directions though. Mine always disturb the balance and distract the eye (see the meteor-at-bay-picture. Too many directions). Gotta work on that.
Color is a tough nut to crack. I mainly use complementary colours. I always work from cool (green-mint-turquoise-cyan-lightblue-darkblue) to warm (purple-magenta-cherry-red-red/orange-orange-yellow), giving cool more room than warm (see Colour Contrasts and especially Quantitätskontrast). It's all theory, it doesn't always work and it doesn't always HAVE to work this way, but knowing the theory helps a lot. About picking palettes: I saw that in some screenshots of HPX, building your own palette and stuff. I tried, but it's too limiting IMHO. I have F5 set to display the colour-info, which is on HSV/HSB(German) mode. I pick a colour I have set, alter the hue, saturation and brightness (the latter two should be moved oppositely. When you increase saturation, decrease brightness, and vice versa) and paint over. You can play with gradients for mist, adding depth and believability.
On a more philosophical approach, I always try to imagine the soundscape that accompanies the painting. For this one I imagined the constant sound of the lake, a breeze waving through the treetops, birds chirping, and the low hum of the ships fusion gear, something like that. Then for the monoliths, it's the loud sound of ice cracking and the whispering of the wind on the structures' slants. And this one was accompanied by an all-surrounding deep hum of wind blowing through a canyon, frogs croacking, crickets, and other mysterious animals awaiting you when you enter the valley.
I was thinking of making a video of one of my paintings, but it's never clear at the beginning if it's gonna work or not. But thanks for sticking by me, makes me feel warm inside
So, here's one from today. I received Scott Robertsons Unique Enviro DVD yesterday (10 bucks for customs, you fools!) and watched it. It's a blast. Not really dependable if you're up for something particular, but it's a sheer boost for your creativity. You learn to see things. This one is just a first try, I'm not too good with the wide copics and didn't have the right paper to smudge around the ink, but cool enough.
On a personal note, I'm close to overcoming my neurosis and hopefully found a way to make up a nice website that fits my demands, looks good and is innovative in some way.

Hot bunny - haha, you bastard
Thank you very much for that answer. very helpful and very interesting! thx
Any progress on the wip to show?
I like the last one a lot, cool comp. my ony crit would be, that the image is divided into the left haf which is dynamic and full of live and stuff, and the right half, which is dead and still.
On the other hand, this is good, cause it adds to the atmosphere of a dead planet... But then again, there's this bunny - hmmm, dunno, i'm confused right now ^^
keep it up, you're doing great
January 10th, 2007 #29
Hey thanks for your comment in my book. I havent been getting much of them recently, if at all <_<
How do you think I could improve my digital? I cant seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong or not doing right.
Again nice work, I envy people who can speedpaint well, and you've got some really interesting textures and effects.
First pencils since July 06?? Come on man!

Product Category Description:
These vortexers are designed to hold multiple test tubes, vials, or cylinders. The vortexing action is created by securing the top of the vessel in place while allowing the bottom to move freely in a defined 3.6mm eccentric orbit. Two stainless steel posts hold support plate securely in place for quiet, rattle-free mixing. Support plate is easily adjusted by loosening knobs and lifting plate up and down. The circular groove around the top of the taller post allows the support plate to swing away from tray for easy removal of samples. The suction-cup feet dampen motion and prevent sliding on work surface. Constructed of rugged stainless steel with corrosion-resistant paint. Equipped with a powerful, permanent magnet motor with sealed ball bearings. Motor is rated for continuous duty.
VWR analog vortexers feature solid-state electronic control that allows adjustable speed from 1200–2400 rpm and an automatic timer adjustable from 0–60 seconds for simple repeat procedures. Conveniently angled front panel features main power switch, knobs for speed and timer adjustment, and mode switch with timed mode, off, and continuous mode operations.
VWR Signature digital vortexers feature a microprocessor controller for digital programming of both speed and time, along with a pulse feature for difficult mixing applications. Ideal for applications that require accuracy and repeatability. Speed and time can be set simply by pressing "up" and "down" arrows. The speed range is 500–2500rpm, set in 25rpm increments. Digital readouts of both speed and time are easily viewed from an easy-to-read LED display. Timer can be programmed to run 1–9999 minutes (over 160 hours) or can be set to run in continuous mode. The extremely versatile pulsing feature stops and starts the unit in predetermined increments to add further agitation to mixing process.

Casa del Zorro: Please buy me
BORREGO SPRINGS La Casa del Zorro, for decades a plush luxury desert resort in Borrego Springs that catered mostly to the wealthy, has sat vacant and overgrown for the past 2 1/2 years.
It's sad fate has mirrored the economy of Borrego Springs itself.
But hopes are high in town that a sale could be in the offing and that perhaps a desperately needed high-end resort will once again reside in the valley.
In 2008 the Copley Press, which had owned the resort for decades, sold the property to a developer for just $2.5 million. It was in the middle of David Copley's great sell-off at a time, when his company unloaded about a dozen newspapers culminating with the sale of The San Diego Union-Tribune in 2009.
The new owner of the resort was Greg Pearlman, principal of Sherman Oaks-based GH Capital, who in 2004 purchased the Rams Hill Development south of the resort. He renovated La Casa del Zorro, which he renamed Borrego Springs Ranch, to the tune of about $7 million not counting carry costs and working capital, and used it as a place to entertain potential buyers of lots at Rams Hill, which he had renamed Montesorro.
But 2008 was a bad year to be speculating in real estate. When the economy tanked, so did Pearlman's dreams.
Just 14 months after La Casa del Zorro's purchase, the resort closed in January 2010 putting about 70 people out of work. It had been the second-largest employer in the tiny town.
In late 2010 rumors were that a buyer had been found. But the sale fell through.
Recently Maxim Hotel Brokerage of Newport Beach has been retained as the exclusive agent and is listing the property for sale for $3.3 million. Maxim has a long history of hotel sales.
"This will sell one way or the other," said Maxim Harry Pflueger who took eight potential clients on tours of the property last week.
Under Copley's management, Pflueger said, the resort lost money regularly.
"I don't think they ever operated it with the goal of turning a profit," Pflueger said. "But it garnered a tremendous, enthusiastic following."
If a buyer can be found, a buyer that experts say will have to have deep pockets to make it a viable concern, its importance can't be overstated for the small desert community that has only 3,000 year-round residents.
"It would be huge," said Linda Haddock, the director of the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce. "We don't have 300 (hotel) rooms in the entire town, which makes it impossible to get groups of any size to come here."
The town also doesn't have any high-end hotels. La Casa was a four-diamond resort.
"Every single day people ask us if La Casa has reopened," she said. "It would be magical."
Pflueger said most of the resort is still intact.
"The landscaping is overgrown, but in general the property is in relatively good condition," he said.
"Perlman kept some maintenance staff in place to maintain the pools and to make sure systems are in working order. In fact, some of the rooms were reportedly never rented after the renovation and most all of the inventory, furnishings etc. are still in place. A new owner would be able to reopen with attention to maintenance and minor repairs, and a good business plan.

The permits, requested by S.C. Electric & Gas, a subsidiary of SCANA and Santee Cooper are for the construction of two new reactors in Jenkinsville, South Carolina.
Graham said:
"I have long pushed for a renaissance in nuclear energy. Before February of this year we hadn't built a new nuclear reactor in the United States in more than thirty years. Now, in the last seven weeks we have had major breakthrough with the licensing of four new reactors. This is a long-overdue and much welcomed change in policy.
"We worked for years to see these reactors approved and I'm very pleased this long-sought goal has finally been achieved. The construction of two new reactors will be an over $10 billion dollar project and represents one of the largest investments in South Carolina history.
"The renaissance in American nuclear energy has begun. And as long-time advocate for nuclear energy, I could not be more pleased to see South Carolina at the forefront to this revival."

Craven Thirty, a large development being built at the intersection of U.S. 70 and N.C. 43 in
Taylor Downey, N.C. operations manager for Weyerhaeuser's real estate arm, gave New Bern aldermen an update Tuesday night on the Craven Thirty project that will be a 550-acre development with retail, housing, a medical park, walking and bike paths and more on the east and west side of the N.C. 43 connector.
The movie studio will be built on 235 acres in Craven Thirty by the film and gaming company N.C. Interactive Digital Media.
The company, which is involved in movie production, financing and distribution of digital gaming and films, would initially bring about 60 jobs,
Southeast Cinema out of
After the meeting,
"Once we get that started I think we will see some (buildings) going up in mid-year 2013,"
The Craven Thirty development is located in a hub between
By 2014-15,
There will also be a medical park, a hotel, townhouses and apartments in the community and everything would be connected for easy access,
Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company, a subsidiary of the Weyerhaeuser wood products company, also developed the Taberna and Greenbrier communities, and sold land for Carolina Colours to other investors,
Alderman Bernard White asked
"There is a lot of eating establishments and a lot of people like that who are retired," White said. "But what are we doing to embrace our youths to come back?"
Although the proposed movie studio would create 60 jobs, White said he could go in the community and find 1,000 youths who needed work.
"That has to be a major part of this," he said.
For years there has been an effort to recruit businesses and industries to the area and now, with Craven Thirty, there is property and infrastructure to attract them,
Alderman Sabrina Bengel asked if Craven Thirty would have transportation so people could travel to and from the downtown area.
"Downtown is the heart beat of the area," he said.
Alderman Denny Bucher said that although the concept of Craven Thirty is getting closer after years of planning, it would still take time before the housing and commercial community is developed. Developments are not done quickly, he said.

You'll hear of celebrities like Russell Crowe and Miley Cyrus lauding the gluten-free life as their ticket to weight loss. The word is that Lady Gaga, in the quest for onstage bloat control, doesn't allow her dancers to eat wheat. But it's time for a reality check: the truth is that many people who give up gluten because of celiac disease or non celiac gluten sensitivity struggle with weight gain not loss. So here are some important tips to maintain your healthy weight on the gluten-free diet.
Start Your Day with a Healthy Breakfast
Studies prove it: those who skip breakfast tend to overeat later in the day – often resulting in weight gain. So fuel your body with a healthy breakfast such as: a gluten-free cold cereal made with a nutritious grains like amaranth, brown rice, buckwheat, millet, quinoa or teff and topped with fresh fruit. Compare cereal nutrient levels in the comprehensive chart I created for Allergic Living magazine. (Canadians, see this version.)
For a hot cereal, make a tasty bowl of oatmeal from pure, uncontaminated oats with raisins and slivered almonds. Try a smoothie with low fat yogurt, fresh or frozen fruit, ground flax, dash of vanilla and honey. Or bake and freeze muffins from a healthy gluten-free mix.

Oil commonly leaks from the distributor o-ring requiring replacement of the o-ring. Oil will be visible on the front of the engine near the distributor.
The head gasket can fail causing the coolant and oil to mix in the engine, and external leaks. Symptoms can include overheating, white smoke from the tailpipe at start-up or acceleration, and the visible presence of oil in the coolant expansion tank.
If you hear knocking noises while driving over bumps, the front ball joints should be inspected. The upper and lower ball joints are known to wear.
If coolant is leaking, it may be from the water pump gasket. Coolant will be seen at the rear of the engine.
Oil can leak from the oil pump cover seal. Oil will be visible at the bottom and rear of the engine. The seal will need to be replaced.

More pets are lost on the Fourth of July than any other time of year. It's a heartbreaking scenario for pet parents, but swift action and major networking can increase the odds that you will be reunited with your cat or dog.
We recently surveyed more than 1,000 households with pets across the country to find out if they had lost a dog or cat in the past five years—and if they did, did they find that pet and where did they look?
Of those pet guardians surveyed, 15 percent had lost a dog or a cat in the past five years, and 85 percent of those lost dogs and cats were recovered.
The study's findings suggest the following are key when recovering a lost pet:
- Searching immediately when one knows the pet is lost;
- Searching within the neighborhood first through visual searches as well as posters and online; and
- Checking local shelters from the first day your pet is lost.
If your pet is lost, it's important not to panic. Enlist the help of all of your friends and neighbors and hit the streets! Read our extended article on Finding a Lost Pet for more information and helpful hints.
Just a hint about the phone number to put on your dogs tags. I now use my cell phone number so that we can all be out looking for our dogs, and we can receive a call if someone were to find them.
As well, if we find a dog who is lost, we put a sign at the bottom of our driveway that we have found a dog. This way, if the owners are out looking for it, they may see the sign and come in.
I found an online website that will embroider your phone # & pets name on durable reflective collar; also have tags & my baby is chipped:)). She has escaped several times over the years but she always comes back to home within 15 (terrifying for me) minutes:))))
We were in a new town and one of our dogs wandered away before we had an invisible fence installed. I called where's fido.com and had him back in hours. On a second move with new child, new schools, etc. The animal hospital he was taken to missed his chip because it had migrated down his shoulder(collar was off for nighttime sleeping). Again, wheresfido.com to the rescue.
My cats are indoor cats, but one of them got out a few years ago. I searched all over the neighborhood, calling and looking, but nothing. After 2 days I was really depressed. I got up the next morning and my other cats were surrounding the heater vent in the floor in the family room. I went over & heard a cat. I went outside & looked under the trailer and there he was. I was so happy. The next time one of my cats got out the first place I looked was under the trailer and there she was. This is kind of a long winded way of saying, search under your home. Just because your are calling their name doesn't mean they will come (especially if they are cats) because they may be so freaked out that they just can't respond.
At the start of your senseless article, you mentioned a lot of animals are lost around the 4th of July. But you did not offer a reason or an explanation. If you had been thoughtful, you would have noted that fireworks are a common event the night of 4 July and that many animals run away from the noise. And if you had thought some more, you would have reminded your readers to remember this for the "next time" and pln ahead to keep your pet secure at home.

On June 25th, 2012 my parrot flew out our front door. Millie is a 3 month old black capped conure. In order to locate her, I brought one of my other parrots out in a cage. Maxwell called for Millie and she responded. But she was too high up in a tree. We tried for hours to get her down but she was just too scared. Then it got dark. June 26th, Maxwell came back outside but no sign of Millie. I posted pictures of Millie on every light post, telephone pole and stop light. I called all the vets and Animal Control. I posted pictures at all the pet stores and Animal Protective League. I walked the neighborhood from 5:30am until 9pm calling for Millie. I put an ad in the newspaper. And I PRAYED!! June 27th, I woked up and said "This is the day I find Millie." As the day wore on, things looked hopeless. Around 3pm, the phone rang. A lady said, "I think I found your bird, I know I found your bird." Millie had flown into their garage and landed on the lady's head. They caught her and they had seen my posters!! Millie is back home safe and sound! Two things that conntributed to her safe return was my posters and PRAYING! It worked!
in this day and age it seems that GPS tracking chip could be embedded in with the ID chip. Sort of like Lojack for pets.
I lost my parakeet 1 died 2 flew away but I know they need a life to their own :')

Siderography, the steel engraving process used for currency and old fashioned stocks, renders type with high precision shading and high contrast. LTR Federal recreates this technique for digital design and publishing, capturing the typographic voice of nation states and old fashioned banks and delivering it to your desktop.
LTR Federal comes in four optical sizes. Fewer shading lines mean more sturdy shapes that can be used in small sizes and low resolutions. Higher numbers of lines create more detail and shading in larger sizes. The names of the sets indicate the number of shading lines on the height of the capital.
In order to choose the set that is right for your project keep in mind that reading distance is as important as size. A large word intended for reading at some distance (such as a sign, or lettering on a building) might still require a smaller optical size with fewer lines.
If you only need a single line of Federal, 3 cuts of LTR are ready to go at PhotoLettering. This site offers single settings in high resolution vector PDF format, so no fonts.
Federal Parade
LTR Federal is offered as separate sets, and a complete set. The pdf specimens below can help you establish which optical size you need for your project.

Six out of the last seven years we've seen the national average increase an average of ten cents per gallon between Christmas and January 15, but so far this year, we've seen virtually no change in the national average.According to GasBuddy data, the national average currently stands at $3.264, rising a mere 3 cents since bottoming out before Christmas. The question then becomes, will we officially buck that trend for 2013? It appears possible. However, it also appears that gasoline prices are rising today in the Great Lakes, and that may push the national average higher, but still, the fact remains is that gasoline prices remain subdued entering 2013.The...

The Saharawi perspective on Africa's "last colony": the case of Western Sahara and the Morocco invasion
As a Saharawi, I would like to address Eddarhem's notion of Western Sahara's myth, which is an idea that Morocco never invaded Western Sahara, a myth that remains a painful reality since more than 40 years for my family and the rest of my people. For me as a Saharawi born in the refugee camps in southernwestern Algeria, Eddarhem's words ring falsely.
First, Eddarhem's claims to be speaking on behalf of the Saharawi, which is extremely misleading. Eddarhem, a member of the Moroccan parliament, is only speaking on behalf of Morocco's interest and fueling its propaganda. Second, what is interesting about Eddarhem's article is that there is no mention of the Green March that displaced my family and my people 40 years ago.
In 1973, the Saharawi movement was founded, which was called the Polisario, and its aim was to liberate Western Sahara, which was then called Spanish Sahara. The Polisario attempted to liberate Western Sahara by following the example of their African neighbors who were fighting against their colonizers. However, that all changed when Spain signed a deal with both Mauritania and Morocco, breaking their promise to negotiate with the Polisario.
In 1975, Spain then signed an agreement known as the Madrid Agreement with Mauritania and Morocco, who claimed the territory. The agreement led to the Green March that left Mauritania occupying Western Sahara from the south and Morocco from the north. Not only did the event result in the killing and raping of thousands of Saharawis, but also displaced about 250,000 people who were forced to flee to Algeria and build one of the biggest refugee camps in the world, where they are still waiting to go back to their homes one day. The other half of the Saharawi population remains under the Morocco occupation of Western Sahara.
Despite the ceasefire in 1991 and Mauritania signing a peace treaty with the Polisario, the promise of a referendum to be held where the Saharawi will have a chance to choose self-determination or integration with Morocco was never fulfilled and Morocco still occupies Western Sahara.
Today, the refugee camps are built by the Saharawi women, each camp is well organized into districts. Each district has its own school, hospital and government offices. Despite the Moroccan propaganda that the Saharawi are held in captivity, the Saharawi in the refugee camps have the freedom to lead their lives the way they wish and to travel freely, locally and abroad. Saharawi women are considered to be one of the most liberated women in the region and despite the hardship that the Saharawi have endured these past 40 years, education has become their greatest weapon. Every year hundreds of Saharawi students are sent to study in countries such as Algeria, Spain, the USA and other parts of the world. As a Saharawi I have to say that I am proud to be the first Saharawi woman to pursue my studies in politics.
Despite the Saharawi criticism, when it comes to the Polisario policies, the Polisario was and still are the legitimate movement that represents Saharawi self-determination. Contrary to Eddarhem's statement, the Polisario is not fueled by the communists, but is supported by countries such as Algeria, South Africa, Mexico and 84 more who recognize the movement's legitimacy and Western Sahara as a free country. Western Sahara holds various embassies in countries that recognize the Saharawi cause. If the Polisario isn't doing its job, it will be held accountable by the Saharawi because they are free to do so.
That is something the Saharawi living under the occupation of Morocco don't have; women and children are exposed to all kinds of human rights violations by the Moroccan police and authority. A great example is Aminatu Haidar, a Saharawi human rights activist who was imprisoned, beaten and raped by the Moroccan secret service because she refused to list herself as a Moroccan. Sadly, what Ms. Haidar experienced is the reality of the Saharawi, who are living as second citizens in their own land.
In the past years, the Polisario and Morocco have engaged in various negotiations led by different UN envoys; however, all of them failed due to the simple reason that Morocco has its own agenda, which violates the agreement of the referendum and the Polisario have their own belief that the referendum should be upheld. Both parties have failed to find a solution to the long dispute. Who is paying the price? The Saharawi who are waiting for a solution.
Despite the uncertain future of the Saharawi and Western Sahara, the Saharawi are equipping themselves with education. The Saharawi hold the great hope that one day Western Sahara will gain its independence. But in the meantime what so many call a myth is actually a reality, and unless a solution is found Western Sahara will remain Africa's last colony.

Look into any map of the region before the 1880s when spain colonized the region to see that it was part of Morocco! Algeria wants to destabilize its neighbor by supporting a separatist group; that's the real story...
How can you wait until 1973 to be "created" by the president of Algeria in order to claim a land that Moroccan Sahrawis have been fighting for since from 1958 until they liberated it in 1975 !?? There is a bit of chronological discrepancy, don't you think?
thank you my Sahrawi sister, you left nothing to say. we will get our homeland back sooner or later. morocco themselves believe in that ant their king is admitting it in his last speech.
Typical propaganda straight to you from the school of the butchers of Algeria, aka the military junta of Algiers.
They gather the Saharan nomads from various tribes, put them in concentration camps and claim that they are a people who deserve self-determination. Fools!
First, free yourself from cookbooks of Russia's Stalinism and join the real world of free, independent Morocco under one king and one constitution which grants the rights to all the ethnic constituents of Morocco, including the minority of Sahaouis.
What a load of crap....

More cameras
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Following the recommendations for Nikon D7100, we've had the opportunity to assess another of the firm's 24-Mpix DX format cameras – the mid-range D5200 - with over 120 Nikkor and third-party prime and zoom models to assess image quality. Read onto find out which of these lenses perform best when paired with the camera.
Released in April 2013, the Ricoh GR goes by the tagline of "Everything is big, except the size". It points clearly to the raison d'être of this camera – to be a compact model with a large sensor with the aim of offering DSLR-like performance without the size and weight associated with them. As with several models in this niche, it seems to hark back to days gone by with a retro style. While this impacts the versatility of the camera, it's much easier to make a high quality prime lens that can extract the most from the large, 16megapixel APS-C sensor tucked away inside. Within this sector we've seen some very good cameras through the labs in recent months, so the GR has got stiff competition.
Launched in March 2013 the $1097 Coolpix A is Nikon's first compact camera with an APC-S sensor and features the same 16.2-megapixel DX sensor from Nikon's D7000 DSLR but with its optical low-pass filter removed. Utilizing a fixed NIKKOR 18.5mm f/2.8 prime lens (equivalent to 28mm in 35mm terms) the Nikon Coolpix A has the right ingredients for great image quality so let's see how it performs.
Launched in January 2012 the Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8G prime lens offers a great focal length for portraiture and a wide maximum aperture for low-light photography. Compatible with both Nikon FX and DX lens mounts this latest version of Nikon's popular short telephoto prime also features a built in autofocus motor making it full functionality on all Nikon DSLR cameras. At $500 it boasts a great price too, so if you're after a 85mm portrait lens this could be the one for you.
After the introduction of the entry-level 24Mpix D3200 early last year it seemed inevitable that the rest of the firm's APS-C (DX) range would be refreshed with the same sensor. While the gestation of the new 24Mpix D5200 has taken longer than most people could of reasonably predicted, the sensor is, in fact, a new design and the first from a different vendor for Nikon. We've recently put the new camera through our labs, read on to see how the new sensor performs.
A noise benchmark of 187 digital cameras by Peter van den Hamer
DxOMark Camera Sensor is a raw benchmark for camera bodies by DxO Labs. The benchmark is "raw" because it measures image quality using Raw output files. It is also raw as DxO's data can be used to cook up camera reviews that cover more aspects than image quality.
Announced in September 2012, the Sony NEX-6 creates a new range in the Sony line-up. It sits between the flagship Sony NEX-7 and the mid-range Sony NEX-5R offering features and performance benefits to beginner and advanced photographers alike. Providing a simplified user-interface than the NEX-7, the NEX-6 is none-the-less fully featured with a high-resolution OLED viewfinder, Full HD video recording and a tilt-adjustable screen for ease of use.
Announced at IFA 2012, Sony's NEX-5R is the third version of its very popular NEX-5 camera. This new model features a 16-megapixel APS-C EXMOR sensor composed of photosites that provide autofocusing by phase detection. Has Sony improved the image quality of its latest mid-range compact hybrid? Our tests reveal the answer.
The Nikon D5200 refurbishes the D5100 and moves upmarket by adopting a 24Mpix APS-C sensor and some of the elements that have been the joy of photographers equipped with a D7000: a 39-point autofocus and an exposure meter that incorporates a 2016 pixels RGB sensor and scene recognition.
Committed to retaining its sales lead in numerous countries, Canon views its new EOS 650D as a strategically important product. What improvements can we see with respect to its sensor, which Canon claims is new? How does this latest camera in the EOS line compare with its predecessor, the EOS 600D, and with its rivals, the Nikon D3200 and the Sony SLT-A65? The answers lie in our sensor test results for the 650D.
We are already acquainted with the D3200: apart from a few ergonomic details, it's the same camera as the compact and lightweight D3100 SLR, though missing the secondary display on its bridge for even greater compactness. The D3200 weighs only 454 grams (without battery or card). Unlike the D3100, the D3200's lens is off-center for better balance and the highly practical LiveView/video mode activation tab of the D3100 and the D5100 has disappeared in favor of a more ergonomically mundane video recording button. The D3200 comes with a second (dorsal) infrared sensor to complement its front sensor for more practical infrared remote control. The motor selection tab (single-frame, burst, timer, remote control) is gone as well, again replaced by a direct-access button.
Tokina announces a new version of its wide-angle 11-16mm lens for APS-C cameras, featuring an aspherical element, an improved surface coating ,and an autofocus motor (AF-S equivalent) called SD-M (Silent Drive-Module).
It's rare in the world of photography for a manufacturer to come up with an entirely new product line from scratch, and it's equally rare for a famous manufacturer such as Nikon (the world market leader) to offer a new lens mount (Nikon CX). This makes the launch of the Nikon 1 line (Nikon J1 and Nikon V1) a major event in photography this fall.
The Nikon D5100 replaces the D5000 in Nikon's lineup; it finds its place right below the Nikon D7000, according to Nikon's marketing the D90 is still positioned between the D5100 and the D7000, however the spec sheet and the performances of the D5100 make this hard to believe.
This is because the D5100 shares the same Sony 16 megapixels sensor as the D7000. The major difference between the two bodies being the AF: 11 points with 3D tracking for the D5100 (presumably the "old" MultiCam 1000 already used on the D90) versus the 39 points with 3D tracking now used on the D7000.
We have the latest tests on the Nikon D5100 sensor.

Now that the Emergency Boarding Facility for Sandy animals is closed, we're taking a moment to look back at the hundreds of amazing reunions that we got to witness there.
We want to thank Rachael Ray for her generous gift that allowed us to launch the facility, and to thank the many animal welfare organizations from near and far who helped us run this operation.
We also want to take a moment to thank all of our supporters. Without you, we couldn't have helped any of the families whose pets we boarded after Sandy—nor could we have helped the thousands of others who benefited from our other Sandy relief programs like search-and-rescue and food distribution.
We invite you to watch this video and remember that our work is sponsored by your generosity and kindness!
Tonight, hundreds of animals who were once boarded with us are now sleeping near their loved ones once again.
Our boarding facility also housed stray animals found in disaster areas in the wake of Sandy. Those who weren't claimed after exhaustive efforts to find their families are getting happy endings, too: All were transferred to either our Adoption Center or our rescue partners for adoption, and some have already found loving homes.
From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you, ASPCA supporters! We're committed to staying ready to respond to any natural disaster at a moment's notice, and we're so glad you're in our corner.
You guys were my heroes during 911, Katrina and you are still! my heroes. Thank you always for caring for our furry family members and friends. I'm a monthly donater and will always continue to be.
Incredibly heart warming to know how hard you all work to keep our loving pets safe and at ease. Thank you so very much.
Again, what an A+ effort. What ever would we do without you ASPCA.God Bless each and ever one of you for the fantastic,tireless work you do each and every day.Thank You Again.
Thank you ASPCA for saving these animals. If I ever lost my cats in a disaster I would be incredibly heartbroken. I am THRILLED to know that there is an organiation that can return animals to their owners and homes. Thank you, and I will continue to support your wonderful efforts!
Katie in Minnesota.
I've shared this on Facebook and told people to have tissues nearby. The tears of happiness are still falling. Thank you ASPCA for all that you do for the animals.
I am thankful for all you do for the animals. I found my loving cat "Baby" at a shelter in Brooklyn when she was 7 months old (she is now 3 yrs old). My husband and I are now looking to provide a great adult or puppy a loving home this week or ext. Thank you.
