New Zealand Parliament
New Zealand role in Antarctic part of Australian committee visit
Australia's Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories is visiting Parliament this week.
The committee is one of 13 joint committees in the Commonwealth of Australia Parliament and was first established in 1956. The committee covers the Australian Antarctic Territory and islands within Australian's external territories.
The leader of the delegation is the Chair of the committee, Senator Kate Lundy, of the Australian Capital Territory. Other members include the Deputy Chair Patrick Secker, and fellow members Dick Adams, Anna Burke, Paul Neville, and Senators, Trish Crossin, Alan Ferguson, and Gary Humphries.
The group arrived in Christchurch earlier this week and visited the Antarctic Centre.
During its visit to Parliament, the committee is calling on the Speaker. Discussions are also being held with Ministers, MPs and officials representing the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Pacific Island Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Tokelau and the Chatham Islands.
The committee is currently conducting an inquiry into the changing economic environment in Australia's Indian Ocean Territories.
The committee is scheduled to return home on Thursday.

Blatter prepares to unveil FIFA reform plan
ZURICH FIFA president Sepp Blatter is preparing to deliver long-awaited reforms to try to repair soccer's battered reputation, and he may start by naming the senior officials accused of taking kickbacks in the 1990s.
Blatter will present his plans at a two-day executive committee meeting starting Thursday.
He promised zero tolerance of corruption after winning a fourth and final four-year term in June in an election that was rocked by the worst bribery scandal in the governing body's history.
The scandal in the Caribbean, which Blatter was accused of helping orchestrate to ensure victory, removed continental presidents Mohamed bin Hammam and Jack Warner from FIFA's high command. It added to allegations of vote-rigging, secret payments, ticket scams and unethical favors that have long shrouded FIFA.
Now, the case of FIFA's former marketing agency, which collapsed in 2001, has come under renewed scrutiny in Switzerland and Brazil. The issue threatens to cast harsh light on Blatter's predecessor Joao Havelange; the head of Brazil's 2014 World Cup organizers Ricardo Teixeira; and two more continental bosses Nicolas Leoz and Issa Hayatou.
FIFA is currently stopping a Swiss court from releasing documents that confirm who took payments from the ISL agency. But that legal battle has been complicated by Brazilian investigators seeking details as they probe Teixeira over possible money-laundering offenses.
Blatter's challenge to lead FIFA toward a more credible future involves confronting an often murky past.
Still, 208 soccer nations entrusted him with the clean-up task after having had effective executive control of FIFA for 30 years in which its wealth, political influence and notoriety has surged.
"I am the captain of the ship," Blatter told his Congress in June, pledging to put FIFA "back on the right course in clear transparent waters."
FIFA has sought help from Transparency International, a global watchdog that advises governments and corporations how to lead honestly.
"I am very optimistic," TI's sports adviser Sylvia Schenk told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "I think there will be some good proposals and we will see what those proposals are on Friday."
In August, TI presented a wish-list of reforms and asked FIFA to order independent probes of past allegations to overcome a "crisis of trust." Topping the list was ISL, which could yet define Blatter's presidential era.
FIFA "could help to end, or at least accelerate," the release of court documents, the report said.
Although commercial bribery was not a crime in Switzerland during ISL's time, six agency staff stood trial in 2008 for financial misdeeds and Paraguayan Leoz was named in court.
Two senior football officials repaid kickbacks worth $7 million last year, but FIFA has blocked a court in Zug from identifying them.
British broadcaster the BBC has reported that the documents name Havelange and his former son-in-law Teixeira.
Africa's soccer president Hayatou, of Cameroon, also was identified as taking ISL payments, which he said were for his confederation. Havelange and Hayatou, both IOC members, are being investigated by the Olympic body's ethics commission using BBC evidence.

Rebellion is Dante's trademark sword, and the default weapon at the beginning of DmC: Devil May Cry. Rebellion was given as a memento to Dante by his father Sparda, even in the reboot as mentioned by Vergil.
Dante's sword strikes a perfect balance between power and speed, making it incredibly versatile.
Although Rebellion is technically a Demon Sword, it will not count towards overall demon weapon kills.

Army of Two: The Devils Cartel - Hands On
Seriously? I reviewed both the first games as 3/5, easily being noted as generic and limited- and i post a blog about my time with the demo, and this is the attitude i get? Why thank you, kid sir.
Is this a marketing post from EA?
Because if so, then tell your masters that I'm coming for them. And I'm gonna rip them off their balls. Their days are numbered.
God forbid someone like a game the Giant Bomb crew have deemed unworthy ahead of time. Must be a marketing scheme!

This game has the unfortunate timing of being released right when Bioshock Infinite is coming out. I can respect that this game chose to put emphasis on the campaign rather than standard multiplayer and 40 missions sounds like a lot in terms of game length. I might pick it up when I find the chance.

I don't have a good enough internet connection to download the demo but this sounds good. I've always liked the Army of Two series. The 40th day was kind of a letdown for me personally, it was too short, moral choices didn't leave much of an impact and the shooting felt somewhat weak. Honestly not really looking forward to the Devil's Cartel after the 2nd game but I'm definitely looking to hear what others will say about this one. Hopefully the final product turns out decent and I might try out this one.
This... feels like someone's trying too hard to play Serious Video Games Journalism. Also, posted in wrong forum. But hey, I had no idea there was actually a demo available, so thanks for that at least.

Not to mention Gears of War: Judgment. The Kingpin of cooperative TPS'.
@supermonkey122: The AI is very competent, but the game is much better enjoyed with a pal because of how much focus is put on strategy in attacking. You can command the AI to an extent to alleviate this, but it still comes off as much less enjoyable.
@yummylee: Is there a forum for these sorts of things? I'm new, forgive the derping around. Also, thanks for the honest criticism!
@geekcomplex: Yeah, each... well, everything has its own dedicated forum on here, which is where you're meant to post any threads about specific games for example. But you can still move it yourself in Full Edit mode, which you can select at the top right corner of your first post. From there you just search for the Army of Two: Devil's Cartel page and select it, click Edit Topic at the bottom, and it should then move your thread to Army of Two: Devil's Cartel forum.

Don't feel too bad. I'm pretty sure that studio was contracted to make this game, and this game only.
The demo itself was actually quite enjoyable. The gun-play is familiar but solid, the cover swap mechanic is neat, the audio design sounded top-notch, and the customization options are still insane.
The overall movement of the characters feel a bit sluggish, but that could be because I just finished Tomb Raider. Some of the controls are a bit odd as well, having to hold A to vault is a bit annoying, as is tying sprint to the analog stick, but it's nothing game-breaking.
It's too bad EA didn't incorporate a Multi-player component, or I would have probably bought this, as opposed to getting it off Gamefly.

I've always wanted to get into these games but I never had the right co-op partner. It sucks however that this game comes out between GoW Judgment and Bioshock, two games I'm super excited for (and probably a lot of other people are too). We'll be lucky if we get a tame quick look on GB with a bored Jeff on it....

I admit I haven't played the first two games, and this doesn't look bad but it seems like it was sent out to die. Releasing in the midst of Tomb Raider, Gears of War Judgement, God of War Ascension, & Bioshock Infinite is a rough way to go. Granted I can't think of a window where it would dominate the charts, but still. And can anyone think of an IP that EA has handled really well lately? Dead Space, Medal of Honor, Sim City, Mass Effect or really anything by Bioware, this.....just a comedy of errors.

Judge orders men who may have known terrorist suspects held
Staff Writer
SAN DIEGO -- A federal judge ordered Tuesday that three Middle Eastern men who may have known suspects in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are to be held as material witnesses.
The three men, who are La Mesa residents, were arrested over the weekend. Their attorney, Randall B. Hamud, said the men are not suspects and they aren't charged with any crimes.
Family and friends identified the men as Modhar Abdullah of Yemen, Osama Awadallah of Jordan and Yazeed Al-Salmi of Saudi Arabia, all in their 20s.
They are being held in jail because they couldn't meet the conditions of release, including bail, Hamud said. The men may be taken to testify before a grand jury in New York.
Hamud compared the arrests to racial profiling and the anti-communist and anti-Nazi witch hunts during the last century.
"It's a difficult situation and a very difficult period in our history, and I hate to see history repeat itself," he said. "I am not comfortable with the scenario where people can be spirited away to other states, possibly 3,000 miles away."
The decision came after a lengthy hearing that took almost 5 1/2 hours in a locked U.S. District Court room.
Citing national security, U.S. District Magistrate Judge Ruben B. Brooks issued a gag order preventing lawyers from talking specifically about the case. He barred the public and the press from the courtroom.
Federal prosecutors did not talk the media immediately after the hearing, but Hamud took the opportunity to urge the public and the press to take a look at what is happening to constitutional rights since the attacks.
Hamud described the men's state of mind as "excellent."
"They will be better young men when they come out of this process," he said.
The three men are believed to have known a fourth La Mesa resident also detained as a material witness, Omer Bakarbashat. Authorities suspect him of financially supporting the San Diego-based terrorists, identified by officials as Khalid Al-Midhar, Hani Hanjoor and Nawaf Alhazmi.
Alhazmi may have met the material witnesses at one of two mosques in the San Diego area. He also may have worked with two of the La Mesa men at a Texaco Star Mart in La Mesa.
A source said a friend of Abdullah, a brother of Awadallah, an employer and a representative from a mosque were among the witnesses. Abdullah's friend, Muna Ismail, 19, and Awadallah's brother, Jamal Awadallah, were crying as they left the courtroom.
"It was scary," said Ismail, who described Abdullah as her best friend.
Hamud didn't specifically say what the next legal step might be for his clients, but he noted there are possibilities for appeal.
"This is a great country," the attorney said. "We have all levels of courts. If we don't prevail at one level, we go to the next level."
Ismail said Abdullah hasn't been able to sleep since planes hijacked by terrorists struck and destroyed the World Trade Center in New York and part of the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.

Gerry "Chief" Frierdich is back to doing what he likes most -- taking photos.
And he wants to share them with you. He has compiled his favorites in an 18-month calendar "The View From My Chair" that he's selling to pay for his new wheelchair. His old one lasted five years.
"The amount of abuse they take, they wear out," Gerry said, after rolling down a ramp into a side yard. "I found this one online. This chair goes up curbs and steps. It's a chair ATV."
Gerry, 51, was paralyzed from the chest down in a bicycle accident in August 2007. He had been working as a photographer at Crafty Eye Photography in Belleville for 20 years when the accident occurred.
He was riding a recumbent bike on the shoulder of South Greenmount Road in Belleville on his way to The Orchards Golf Club early on a Sunday morning. A truck veered off the road and slammed into Frierdich from behind.
He now lives on his own, with help from family and friends, and caretakers.
"If it wasn't for my brothers and sisters and friends, I don't know what I'd do," he said. "I've had the house since Mom and Dad died. It's paid for."
The lot adjoining his house makes passersby stop, smile and, if Gerry is outside, wave.
"Everybody knows me," he said, nodding to a young woman in overalls. "I'm the unofficial neighborhood watch."
With help from friends, a giant Calder-like mobile hangs from up high in an oak tree.
"I designed the mobile 10 years ago," Gerry said. "Last winter, it fell down. I had all winter to think of a way to put it up. You build from the bottom up. Balance the first layer and keep going up. I got the parts together and my friend Bud (Gore) assembled them."
Another friend helped put up the mobile with its colorful moon and sun flags. Plants hang from colored tubes. One has a solar-powered pump that allows it to self-water.
"When the sun shines on it, water squirts up, keeping the bottom of the plant wet," he said. "All the plants attract hummingbirds."
He wouldn't mind if more birds came around. Sixty-plus birdhouses atttached to trees are ready and waiting. Gerry painted them all.
"My first therapy using my arms and hands was trying to paint."
There's surround-sound in the backyard and patio lights come on at dusk.
"I tried to make it like a beer garden."
Not far from what the spot once was.
"It was the original corner tavern when Second Street was a dirt road."
Gerry is still learning to maneuver the new chair, but that hasn't stopped him from heading from his home on North Second Street to the bike trail that runs alongside the MetroLink track in Swansea.
"Meet you there in 10 minutes," he said, rolling down the street.
He looks for flowers to photograph. In early spring, he sows wildflower seed to increase his chances.
"I thought the trail was nice, but missing something," Gerry said. "I have been buying wildflower seeds when they go out of season. The following spring for the last three years, I go along and take handfuls of seeds, throw them up and let the air do its job along the bike trail. It's a sea of color in certain areas."
Near the Illinois 159 overpass, black-eyed susans and some kind of little pink flowers color the hillside.
"No one knew I was doing it," he said, edging his wheelchair up a steep gravel path. "At the height of the bloom, they cut them all down. This year, I'm trying to talk to people about waiting three or four weeks. All the flowers will have gone to seed. More will come up the next year."
Turning his chair around, he headed halfway down the hill and stopped.
"I took the best family portrait here last year. The family was sitting in wildflowers. It was one of my therapists and her family. It turned out really neat. We made a 24- by-30-inch print."
Three years ago, Gerry designed a bar to hold a camera. His friend Bud Gore, a machinist, built it, enabling Gerry to be a photographer again.
"I grew up with Bud," he said. "Making things is second nature. He built the contraption. He cuts my grass."
Gerry was in business.
"It was scary and frustrating at first," he said. "I couldn't pick it up and move with it. I had to sit there and point it until I got to where I remembered how things work. I've forgotten a lot of stuff.
"I went around to take photos of stuff I thought was pretty. I couldn't take pictures of people. It's too hard to hold still. After I started taking them, a guy who was my artist at Crafty Eye, Rich Schindler, organized them."
About then, Gerry realized he needed a new wheelchair. It was important to have a chair that would let him get outside and go places.
Price tag? About $48,000. Insurance covered $30,000.
"We've done fundraisers before," he said, "but I wanted to do a fundraiser more in line with my talent."
He narrowed the thousands of photos to 50. Friends helped him get to 18.
"One of just the bike trail is kind of neat. The bridge on the bike trail looks pretty nice, too. We have to sell 650 to pay for the chair. I'm at just over 100 now."
The 18-month calendars (July 2014 to December 2015) cost $35 each, or $30 if you order more than 12. Please include $5 for postage. Make your check payable to Gerard Frierdich Trust Fund and mail it to: Gerry Frierdich Benefit Calendar, c/o Bud and Sandy Gore, 2391 S. 11th Street Road, Belleville, IL 62226.
If you can't afford a calendar, sow some wildflowers along the bike path.
"It would be good if I could get more people to spread them," Gerry said. "In a few years, imagine what the trail would look like."

"As far as we know, the blue whale is the largest animal ever to have existed on the planet. Weights up to 190,000 kg (as much as 30-40 African elephants) have been recorded. They are also among the fastest swimmers, reaching a speed of 48 km per hour when chased. They eat 6-7 tons of krill, a small, shrimp-like crustacean, per day, by gulp-feeding. With each gulp, the whale's throat stretches along a series of grooves, enlarging the mouth's capacity, then the water is expelled and the krill remain, trapped by baleen plates. The blue whale's voice is the deepest of any animal's, and their vocalizations carry for thousands of miles underwater, at frequencies below the range of human hearing. This may enable them to communicate across oceans, and may be a sonar-like imaging system that helps a whale map its location relative to distant landmasses or deep underwater terrain. They can live for 80-90 years, and for centuries, blues whale were safe from humans because of their sheer size, but whalers on modern ships armed with harpoon guns drove them almost to extinction. They are protected now, but there is no sign yet that they are recovering from over-exploitation."

Rising Mortgage Rates Giving Would-Be Homebuyers Jitters
Jed Kolko / Trulia / July 10, 2013
Rising mortgage rates are the top worry for people thinking of buying a home someday, and 56% of Americans say they would be discouraged from homeownership if rates reach 6%. But pay more attention to what consumers do than what they say.
After years of low-and-lower mortgage rates, the 30-year fixed rate shot up from a near-historic-low of 3.35% in early May to 4.46% in late June before settling back to 4.29% last week, according to Freddie Mac. The rate increase was sudden and steep, but not a surprise. Economists and forecasters have been waiting for rates to go up for two reasons: (1) the
Are Your Bets on Renting or Owning?
BUILDER / July 9, 2013
Today's big story is a second-half-of-2013 question raised by two other breaking news articles.
In one, Bloomberg/ BusinessWeek staffer's Heather Perlberg and John Gittelsohn explore the strategy Blackstone Group is building out with its investment in the single-family for-rent market.
In the other, the Silicon Valley Business Journal's Nathan Donato-Weinstein covers the IPO terms for San Jose, Calif.-based UCP, Inc. a land developer-builder seeking to raise $150 million or more in the equity capital markets.

Rising Prices Make Homeownership Affordability More Unequal Across the U.S.
Jed Kolko / Trulia / June 6, 2013
Asking prices are up 16.3% year-over-year in America's least affordable metros – far ahead of the overall national increase of 9.5%.
The Trulia Price Monitor and the Trulia Rent Monitor are the earliest leading indicators of how asking prices and rents are trending nationally and locally. They adjust for the changing mix of listed homes and therefore show what's really happening to asking prices and rents. Because asking prices lead sales prices by approximately two or more months, the Monitors reveal trends before other price indexes do. With that, here's the scoop onRead More
The Link Between High Levels of Homeownership and Unemployment
Richard Florida / The Atlantic Cities / May 9, 2013
Homeownership is a vaunted cornerstone of the American Dream. It's long been viewed as providing a path to financial security and the good life. And it's often posed as a barometer of the health of the economy writ large. it's been center stage, after all, in the ongoing conversation about the economic crisis and recovery. The American government has provided substantial incentives to spur homeownership for decades.
But, in recent years, a growing chorus of economists have argued that America may have gone overboard in its pursuit of homeownership. They suggest that highRead More
Returning to the Housing Market After a Short Sale, Foreclosure
Susan Johnston / US News & World Report / May 6, 2013
Things are starting to look up for Americans who lost their homes during the recession
For the millions of Americans who lost their homes in a foreclosure or short sale during the recession, things are starting to look up. In addition to receiving a piece of the $3.6 billion settlement that banks are distributing to borrowers who were wrongfully foreclosed on, some homeowners are now becoming "boomerang buyers" and re-entering the market after a foreclosure or short sale.
Neal Katz, a mortgage agent at All Western Mortgage in Las Vegas, says he fields calls from a number of peopleRead More

Mary Jo White recently gave a speech before the National Society of Compliance Professionals that I found noteworthy. It focused on the role of the Chief Compliance Officer. Well, that is obviously not the remarkable part. What was remarkable about it though was the softer stance it seemed to signal. I asked myself: Are the days where CCOs were held accountable for failure to supervise, to establish adequate procedures, to fail to perform adequate due diligence, etc. etc., a thing of the past?
"Although we occasionally bring enforcement actions against compliance personnel, compliance officers who perform their responsibilities diligently, in good faith, and in compliance with the law are our partners and need not fear enforcement action," White said. "You have a very tough job in a complex industry where the stakes for all concerned are extremely high. We recognize that and have tremendous respect for the work you do. For our part, we will do everything we can to help empower you so that you can do your jobs even more effectively," White concluded.
It sounds as if the SEC 2013.0 has a good grasp of the realities that a Chief Compliance Officer faces, and respect for it to boot. On the enforcement/empowerment part, let's see whether she comes through.
One more thing—read the SEC risk alerts. They present the findings on common issues that the SEC derives from a series of examinations. I'd like to mention specifically the recent one on issues with the custody rule. And if you have not already done so, please familiarize yourself with the list of exam priorities that the examination program published earlier this year.
Like everyone else, the SEC just likes to be heard.

Alliance: No Power, No Problem
Amid high winds and wintry weather, dozens of businesses - including credit unions - lost power on December 20. Alliance Credit Union lost power around 3:30 p.m., but employees found creative ways to deliver excellent member service despite the loss of electricity. Using the light from a lantern, Vice President of Lending Sean Chambers met with a member who needed a loan funded by 8 a.m. the following morning. Chambers devised a work-around to make sure that happened.
"I had her sign the paperwork here by lantern light, and then we had our nearest branch with power fund the loan," says Chambers. "Since we no longer had the ability to print a check, the branch that funded the loan drove it over to our Fenton office and hand-delivered the member her check within two minutes of wrapping up the paperwork. She was very grateful that we were able to accommodate her considering her time constraints."Photo caption: Sean Chambers, vice president of Lending, closes a loan by lantern after Alliance loses power.

BOX ES-1Statement of Task
The National Research Council (NRC) will:
Establish an ad hoc committee to provide technology analyses, both near and far term, to assist the agency to develop timelines, methodologies, and strategies for the application of identified technologies of interest to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) under development within the United States and its allies and to bring to the agency's attention potentially useful technologies that DIA may not be aware of that might be of value for adaptation and consideration.
Review information provided from government sources on technologies under development by other nations abroad and provide estimates on when these technologies may become mature to the point they could pose a threat to U.S. forces.
Meet with the agency to discuss technology developments here and abroad of interest to DIA and to develop potential study topics and task statements for in-depth assessment of specific technical areas.
Provide one or two short reports during the course of the first year on subjects developed in the course of meetings and as requested by the agency and approved by the NRC.
BOX ES-2Report Statement of Task
For the first report, the National Research Council Committee on Defense Intelligence Agency Technology Forecasts and Reviews will:
Develop, examine and review from unclassified sources evolving technologies that will be critical to successful U.S. warfighting capabilities.
Postulate methods for potential adversaries of the United States to disrupt these technologies and discuss indicators for the intelligence community to investigate to determine if RED force elements are attempting to achieve this disruptive capability (this discussion should be generally unclassified with specific sensitive or classified information, limited to SECRET, placed in an appendix).
Curtail its investigation to technologies consistent with the committee charter from the Defense Intelligence Agency Threat Analysis section (i.e., to exclude weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and areas of chemical/biological warfare not of specific interest to the sponsor).
Identify and recommend specific technology areas to be pursued in greater depth, both in specificity and classification, in future reports requested by DIA.

KRS Survey: Traditional Retail Categories Are Blurring
Consumer Behaviors and Attitudes Towards Grocery, Fresh Meal, Clothing, and Service Purchases Survey Retail design firm King Retail Solutions ("KRS"), in conjunction with the University of Arizona Center for Retailing, conducted a four-part study to better understand US consumers' current and evolving shopping habits and purchasing motivators, specifically as relates to grocery, fresh-prepared meal, clothing , and services purchases. The results of this survey illustrate the changing retail landscape and shoppers' embrace of a blurred retail environment. The study also analyzes demographic variances and suggests that category blurring will continue to thrive, making the embrace of new sales channels both an opportunity for retailers and a source of added competition as retailers compete outside of traditional channels (ex. grocery stores competing with quick service restaurants).

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- General Motors Co. (GM - Get Report) Europe operation Opel plans to build a number of entry level cars in a move to regain budget customers who previously bought its Chevrolet brand, sources told Reuters.
Value brands including Dacia and Skoda have enjoyed strong growth in Europe, but Opel has largely missed out after it decided to stop Chevrolet sales in Europe last year, Reuters said.
Shares of General Motors are slightly higher this afternoon to $37.47.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Growth Stocks
- GM's revenue growth trails the industry average of 22.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 141.26% to $1,976.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, GENERAL MOTORS CO has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 42.27%.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.89, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.81 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.
- GENERAL MOTORS CO has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past two years. However, we anticipate this trend to reverse over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, GENERAL MOTORS CO reported lower earnings of $2.35 versus $2.93 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.87 versus $2.35).
- In its most recent trading session, GM has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. The stock's price rise over the last year has driven it to a level which is somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. We feel, however, that other strengths this company displays justify these higher price levels.

Anyone who has ever shopped for baby will tell you: strollers aren't cheap. In fact, they are quite pricey. Most droolworthy designer strollers can't be pushed out of the shop for less than $1,500 to $2,000, and even less glitzy popular brands and models like the beloved Bugaboo Cameleon ($880 fully loaded) are spendy by most people's standards. And that's before you throw down for helpful stroller accessories and extras. What's your final budget when shopping for a carriage?

Alec Bradley to Ship New Black Market Size
G. Clay Whittaker
Posted: February 13, 2013
Cigar Aficionado has learned that a new size in the Black Market line will be hitting shelves soon—one with a smaller length and ring gauge than anything else in the line.
"Punk" is a 4 1/2 inch by 42 ring petit corona, the smallest size in the Alec Bradley Black Market line. As with the rest of the Black Market cigars, it is made in Tabacos de Oriente in Danli, Honduras. The Black Market blend is a mixture of Panamanian and Honduran fillers with a Sumatran binder and Nicaraguan wrapper.
Until the release of the Punk, the thinnest cigar in the five-size line is 50 ring gauge—far fatter than the 42 ring gauge of the new size. "We wanted it to come out for the winter season," said Sam Phillips, vice president of marketing at Alec Bradley, who explained that the smaller size is ideal for times when smoking outdoors isn't as comfortable.
The "Punk" name is also unusual, given that most of the sizes in the Black Market line have more traditional names (Robusto, Toro, Torpedo). But following in the new path set by the Filthy Hooligan—a candela cigar made with the binder and filler components of the Black Market blend—the new petit corona size has a more inventive name. "We felt that it fit within the culture of Black Market," said Phillips. Black Market has consistently rated between 88 and 90 points since its release in 2011.
The new size will hit shelves between March 10 and March 15. A Punk will cost around $5.65 per stick, and they come in boxes of 22. Look for a tasting in an upcoming issue of Cigar Insider.

|Information concerning the fundamental mechanisms of action of both natural and environmental hormones, combined with information concerning endogenous hormone concentrations, reveals how endocrine-disrupting chemicals with estrogenic activity (EEDCs) can be active at concentrations far below those currently being tested in toxicological studies. Using only very high doses in toxicological studies of EEDCs thus can dramatically underestimate bioactivity. Specifically: a) The hormonal action mechanisms and the physiology of delivery of EEDCs predict with accuracy the low-dose ranges of biological activity, which have been missed by traditional toxicological testing. b) Toxicology assumes that it is valid to extrapolate linearly from high doses over a very wide dose range to predict responses at doses within the physiological range of receptor occupancy for an EEDC; however, because receptor-mediated responses saturate, this assumption is invalid. c) Furthermore, receptor-mediated responses can first increase and then decrease as dose increases, contradicting the assumption that dose-response relationships are monotonic. d) Exogenous estrogens modulate a system that is physiologically active and thus is already above threshold, contradicting the traditional toxicological assumption of thresholds for endocrine responses to EEDCs. These four fundamental issues are problematic for risk assessment methods used by regulatory agencies, because they challenge the traditional use of extrapolation from high-dose testing to predict responses at the much lower environmentally relevant doses.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard insists the club's quest for the Premier League title is still on track while claiming leaders Arsenal will crack under the pressures of the campaign.
Gerrard, with four goals in his last five games going into Saturday's game with Fulham, also considers he is back to his best form after an accepted difficult spell.
He said: "I played through it and now I have come out the other side, scoring goals and feeling great.
"We are keeping pace at the top and we are not at our best yet, while few would argue that Arsenal are playing to their full potential at the moment.
"They're on fire and playing out of their skin. But they have not had the problems that us, Chelsea and Manchester United have had with injuries to key players.
Gerrard told LiverpoolFC magazine: "The only thing we can do is get our own house in order and keep winning. Our away form is a massive improvement on last season, and we know we must improve at home.
"But people are saying we are out of it and struggling. Wrong. We are in the first week of November, in a better position than we were this time last season and unbeaten in the league with a game in hand on most.
"Let us see where we are when the prizes are handed out come May, that is what counts."

The Rumbach Street synagogue (Hungarian: Rumbach utcai zsinagóga) is located in Belváros, the inner city of the historical old town of Pest, in the eastern section of Budapest.
The synagogue in Rumbach Street was built in 1872 to the design of the Viennese architect Otto Wagner.[1] It served the Status Quo Ante community.
The Moorish Revival synagogue has eight sides and while the interior as of this writing (2008) is badly in need of restoration, the octagonal, balconied, domed synagogue intricately patterned and painted in Islamic style is exquisitely beautiful. It was built not as an exact replica of, but as an homage to the style of the octagonal, domed Dome of the Rock Muslim shrine in Jerusalem.
The Rabbi of the Rumbach Street synagogue was Rabbi Shloime Boruch Schmalhausen up until the Holocaust and deportation of the Jews of Budapest. [2]

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
In September of 2008, Merrill Lynch admitted that it couldn't pay its bills anymore. But, just before it ended its final quarter of business, Q4 of 2008, Merrill Lynch gave out nearly $4 billion in executive compensation bonuses.
Come again? Say what?
Over the years, this view of civilization has stuck with me: Civilization is defined as impulse control. If this is so, how does outlandish executive compensation fit into civilization?
The poster illustration for uncivilized behavior, it seems, could be the greed of outrageously excessive executive compensation packages. Richard Fuld at Lehman Brothers, for example, made $484 million in 8 years as he ultimately drove his company out of existence.
It's official. The unethical use of bailout money that so many of us feared would come when the government wrote big checks to save our economy has arrived. In fact, according to a recent L.A. Times article, "Wall Street Finds Ways Around Executive Pay Caps," $20 million of the bailout money handed out last year by the Bush administration went to executive compensation bonuses. These, mind you, are top executives at companies that failed. Do you think they are inspired to do better work now that they were rewarded for running their businesses into the ground?

MetroFax Review: Internet Fax
|Sign up for MetroFax
|The 30-day free trial and easy-to-use online interface sold us on this Internet fax provider
MetroFax is the overall contender when it comes to Internet fax. We like everything from the low price, which is just $6.63 per month if you pay up front for the annual plan, to the intuitive setup and polished interface. If you're switching from a regular fax machine or another Internet fax service, MetroFax has a porting process where you can keep your current fax number.
Getting Started
MetroFax's sign-up process was effortless. We were up and running in no time. You can check if your existing fax number is eligible for porting, or MetroFax supplies you with a local number based on your area code. You can also choose a toll-free number which is $1.50 extra per month with the annual plan.
User Interface
Everything about MetroFax is easy and well-implemented. MetroFax does not have dedicated faxing software, but it does offer downloads that will add fax drivers to your print utility. There's also a plug-in for Microsoft Outlook. As with all the services we reviewed, you can send faxes by email. They allow you to have up to 10 email addresses associated with your account, with each additional email address costing an extra $2 per month. You can send a fax to up to 250 recipients simultaneously from your email account, and up to 50 recipients from the MetroFax dashboard. MetroFax has recently added a number of new features to its offerings including SMS delivery notifications for your cell phone, advanced customization of fax retry attempts, and improved personalization features. You can now upload and design custom cover pages, prepare faxes in advance and schedule their transmission. The best new features include a better contacts interface and the ability to have different user settings. This is especially useful for businesses with one fax account, so different users can have their own logins, cover pages and contacts. MetroFax will also store your faxes online for 90 days.
The interface got a makeover, though we thought it was pretty good to begin with. It's still one of the nicest looking and most intuitive interfaces that we've used with any service. Faxing performance is excellent too. On average, faxes sent from MetroFax arrived in 1 minute and 30 seconds. It also had the fastest reception time, averaging in at 50 seconds. If you want to look at your faxes on-the-go, there is a great-looking mobile app as well.
Tutorial: How to Send a Fax With MetroFax
In regard to HIPAA compliance: Since Internet fax companies themselves cannot control where the user sends or receives faxes and information, none of them can legally state that they are HIPAA compliant. However, MetroFax follows strict guidelines to meet factors that go into HIPAA compliance. If you want to know what HIPAA is, please visit our FAQ page.
Metrofax's Essential plan is meant to compete with Nextiva and Ring Central with its 500 pages and price of $6.63 per month. The Value plan is for those who need to fax a lot. While the monthly cost is a little above average at $10.80 per month, you get 1000 pages that you can use for sending or receiving. These prices reflect the up front annual plans, which save customers about $16.00 per year. Additional faxes are only 3 cents per page, among the lowest we've seen.
Overall, Metrofax has a winning look and feel and enough faxes in their Essential plan to get you through the month. There's also a 30-day free trial, giving you a free month of service and an easy way to see if it works well for you.

Neural Mechanisms of Improvements in Social Motivation After Pivotal Response Treatment: Two Case Studies
Rent the article at a discountRent now
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Pivotal response treatment (PRT) is an empirically validated behavioral treatment that has widespread positive effects on communication, behavior, and social skills in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). For the first time, functional magnetic resonance imaging was used to identify the neural correlates of successful response to PRT in two young children with ASD. Baseline measures of social communication, adaptive behavior, eye tracking and neural response to social stimuli were taken prior to treatment and after 4 months of PRT. Both children showed striking gains on behavioral measures and also showed increased activation to social stimuli in brain regions utilized by typically developing children. These results suggest that neural systems supporting social perception are malleable through implementation of PRT.

1988: Birdie on 18 gives Pate a San Diego sweep
With a one-shot win, he hits his goal of winning two PGA events in '88
And Pate, who had taken a bogey on the 14th hole to drop back to 18-under, parred his way around to the final hole.
Pate's drive on No. 18 was sliced into trees and rough to the right of the fairway.
Arriving on the scene, Pate found that he had a clear shot to the green, but not enough room behind to take a full backswing with the 2-iron that would have been necessary to cover the distance.
So he chopped the ball out into the fairway, leaving himself with a straight-in shot of 110 yards over the pond that fronts the green to the hole.
"That (110 yards) is a good wedge distance for me," said Pate. His shot -- "obviously the right one," Haas would say later -- stopped 6 feet from the cup.
As Pate approached the 18th, Haas was on the putting green perhaps 40 yards away, his vision blocked by the bleachers and crowd, getting information -- or rather misinformation -- from an NBC cameraman.
"In that situation, I assumed he was going to make it; if he hadn't, then that would have pumped me up for a playoff," Haas said.
"The cameraman said, `He's 8 feet. There's going to be a playoff. He's 6 feet away.' I hadn't heard any noise from the crowd, so I knew (Pate) hadn't putted."
The birdie putt Pate faced "was only 6 feet, but it was a pretty tough putt," Pate said. "I had to hit it 2 or 3 inches out of the hole and let it break in. The putter didn't let me down."
Haas, 34, didn't see the Pate putt. But he heard the noise from the crowd and knew what had happened.
"I'm not down at all," Haas said. "I feel I didn't lose the tournament. With the eagle on 18, I put the heat on him, but he made the shots he had to make coming down the stretch. To make birdie on 18, with that pin placement, is a real feather in his cap."
One stroke behind tournament leader Faxon at the start of play yesterday, Pate gained a share of the lead when Faxon took a bogey at the first hole.
Pate birdied the second hole -- driving all but 35 yards of the 350 from the tee to green and wedging to 8 feet -- and did some spectacular shot-making to eagle the sixth and birdie the seventh.
A 230-yard 3-iron second shot came to rest 3 feet from the cup to set up the eagle on the 537-yard sixth. And on the 454-yard, par-4 seventh, one of the more difficult holes on the course, Pate hit a 5-iron second shot to the back fringe of the green and finessed in a 15-footer for birdie that put him at 19-under and gave him a three-shot lead on the field.

Try Heather Lake for a late fall hike
Don't let that make you stay home. The northwest forest is beautiful even in -- and sometimes because of -- the rain.
I squeezed in a mid-week hike to Heather Lake on the Mountain Loop Highway this week. It was wet but wonderful. And it's an easy drive from Everett.
A friend and I hit the trail mid-morning, with a light rain falling. Before we started, we dressed my 3-year-old daughter in enough clothes to make her marshmallow shaped. (Seriously. She wore: 2 pairs of pants, wool leg warmers, wool socks, lined shoes, mittens, a long sleeved shirt, a coat, a vest and -- over all of it -- my rain coat. I need to get her a poncho, but she was adorable in my coat.)
The trail is, depending upon what source you believe, somewhere around 4 miles round trip. You gain about 1,100 feet. So, it's a decent workout but not overly strenuous.
The trail itself is wet in many places although the rocky surface means you won't have to worry about mudholes until just before you reach the lake. You'll want a decent pair of boots for this trip -- both for traction and to keep your feet dry. In a few areas the trail has some wet rocks or over-large steps you'll need to clamber over. Nothing too bad, though. I was able to do it OK (if slowly) with my kiddo on my back.
The route winds through pretty forest. Check out the gargantuan cedar stumps. They're impossible to miss. There were some seriously huge trees logged here at some point. Watch for one next to the trail that has a tree growing on it with a root snaking across the top. Once you get higher up the trail, some of the giants are still there. We stopped to hug one such mammoth along the trail.
The lake is a sweet little spot, tucked in a cirque below Mount Pilchuck -- or I assume Pilchuck is up there. It was hiding in the clouds. There are several nice places to stop for lunch. The last of the fall color is gone, but the mist makes a nicely dramatic setting.
If you go
Heather Lake is easy to get to. Follow the Mountain Loop Highway for about a mile past the Verlot Public Service Center. Turn right on Pilchuck Access road, just past a bridge. The trailhead is 1.3 miles up the road. There is a privy and it was open when we visited.
If you're planning to go this weekend, it couldn't hurt to read the WTA's excellent safety tips for fall hiking. The forecast for this weekend is calling for snow. However, not much is predicted for Heather Lake. If you're prepared for the conditions, this trail should be just fine this weekend.

Merchant of Venice (NT)
Editorial Staff • West End • 24 Jun 1999
In these more enlightened times, The Merchant of Venice has become a problem play to produce. The dilemma is how to present Shylock s thirst for revenge in an unsympathetic light without letting the play degenerate into anti-semitic diatribe.
There s a defining moment in Trevor Nunn s production where Henry Goodman s Shylock slaps his daughter, Jessica repeatedly. There s an audible gasp from the audience and his heavily Jewish, yamulke-wearing Shylock is suddenly a monster; we can t hate him for being a Jew but we can hate him for being a woman-beater.
Yet even this is too simplistic. Nunn presents us with a world in which the Jews and Christians not only live apart but can barely comprehend each other (Shylock and Jessica speak Yiddish at home and sing Hebrew songs together). When Shylock prepares to stab Antonio, he mutters a prayer in Hebrew - clearly this is an alien culture. Alexander Hanson s Bassanio and Richard Henders brutish boor of a Graziano are upper class louts, scarcely able to comprehend another world outside theirs.
The other startling innovation is in Derbhle Crotty s Portia. These days she s often presented as a rather nasty, racist snob. This is different; in her "quality of mercy is not strained" speech, she is gently pleading - and one almost expected Shylock to change his mind.
Two other moments stand out. Portia s instruction about the non-spillage of blood does not come out-of-the blue, she is inspired by Shylock s tying of an apron. And when, in her lawyer disguise, Bassanio gives her back her own ring she does not, as most productions do, treat the act as one huge joke but is genuinely broken-hearted at what she clearly sees as a betrayal.
And that leads to a final scene that is not the usual happy ending. One fears for this Bassanio and Portia and the play ends with Gabrielle Jourdan s Jessica singing a Hebrew lament - it is clear that this is one woman who is clearly not sure about her future in a Christian world.
There are few weak points. One is not quite sure how David Bamber s Northern, fastidious, mournful and obviously homosexual Antonio came to be friendly with Bassanio s fast set. And there are some scenes set in a nightclub with 30s cabaret songs which don t appear to add anything to the production. But these are minor points. This is an intelligent, thought-provoking production of a difficult play and, along with his Troilus and Cressida, Trevor Nunn is ensuring that the South Bank is a mecca for Shakespeare lovers.
