High quality, customizable lenght.
By Elodie
from Longueuil, Québec
Bought in cream color without really knowing what to expect since that the description is almost nonexistant for This product.Well, it was a GREAT surprise!There Is a system which makes it possible to customize the lenght of the belt and size it as desired : It is kind of doubled in the back and therefore glides through so you can adjust the lenght. I did so to adjust it from 42 to 29,5 inches.It looks very high in quality ad at clearance price, there is no hesitation : it is a GREAT find!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A couple of Dread Central staffers were discussing our preliminary picks for the best films of 2009 the other day, and one that we all agreed on was Neill Blomkamp's stellar District 9 (review here).
What we weren't sure about, however, was what we'd be seeing on the DVD and Blu-ray when they drop later this year, but today that question was answered for us. Per usual, DVD Active got the skinny, which is as follows:
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced 1-disc DVD, 2-disc DVD, and 2-disc Blu-ray releases of District 9 for the 29th December.
Extras on the 1-disc DVD will include a director's commentary, a 3-part documentary ("The Alien Agenda: A Filmmaker's Log"), and a Koobus Big Gun feature. The 2-disc DVD and Blu-ray releases will include all that, along with additional featurettes ("Metamorphosis: The Transformation of Wikus", "Innovation: Acting and Improvisation", "Conception and Design: Creating the World of District 9″, and "Alien Generation: Visual Effects").
Artwork is still forthcoming but should show up shortly so keep it here for more.

|In the scorching desert, dirk pitt uncovers the truth behind his lifelong quest - the fate of a civil war ironclad. Now, amidst the blazing, shifting sands of the sahara, dirk pitt will make a desperate stand - in a battle the world cannot afford to lose!
"Sahara is a cross between a Bond movie and an Indiana Jones adventure... Philip French, Guardian
"The casting is so strong and the overall filmmaking flair of the movie is so captivating...it works. William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Editor's NoteDirk (Matthew McConaughey) and Al (Steve Zahn) have been friends since kindergarten, having also gone through college and the Navy together. The two now work for a former admiral traveling around the world and salvaging treasures from the sea with the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA). In his spare time, Dirk is obsessed with the 150-year-old mystery of the Texas, an Ironclad battleship that reportedly disappeared from Richmond, Virginia during a Civil War battle and turned up in Africa. When a Confederate coin--allegedly one of only five minted--surfaces in Mali, Dirk and Al plan to travel there from Lagos, Nigeria on the admiral's yacht to investigate. Meanwhile, in Lagos, Dirk meets Eva (Penelope Cruz), a doctor for the World Health Organization (WHO) who believes that there is a plague building in Mali. Since the WHO is unable to find another way into the war-torn country, Dirk and Al give Eva and her colleague a lift up the river. Once in Mali, Dirk, Al, and Eva quickly find themselves embroiled in trouble as she pursues the source of the disease. Meanwhile, Dirk and Al search for the Texas.Based on a novel by Clive Cussler, SAHARA is a rollicking thrill ride through exotic locales, including everything from high-speed boat chases to helicopter pursuits to jeeps racing through the desert to camel rides. A warlord and a greedy French businessman prove to be formidable villains for the trio. McConaughey fits the bill as gentleman and adventurer Dirk, while Zahn holds his own as likeable sidekick Al. Cruz is feisty as independent Eva. Director Breck Eisner's theatrical feature film debut also features William H. Macy as the admiral.

CODEC Research Seminar with Elizabeth Buie
"User Experience and the Human Spirit"
People use artefacts in many ways to support their spiritual practices. From low-tech artefacts such as books, candles and pencils to high-tech ones such as DVDs, websites and mobile apps, design plays a role in how artefacts contribute to the practices and experiences that they support. This talk will summarise Elizabeth's PhD research and give a hint of the grounded theory that is beginning to emerge from it.

Dimbleby Lecture - Martha Lane Fox
Martha Lane Fox's Dimbleby Lecture the other night seemed to hit a nerve. There were some key takeaway lines: "It's not OK not to understand the internet anymore" (Aaron Swartz), "Britain could be brilliant at digital, but we've been too slow, too incremental - in skills, infrastructure, in public services", "We're letting commercial technology platforms shape much of our digital lives"…and indeed much of the speech seemed to be a collection of memorable one liners designed to make digital savvy viewers jump for joy!
The speech is worth a watch and it is available here on the BBC, or here in a shorter text format on the Guardian's Comment is Free.

[BOOK CLUB] The Meaning of the Digital Humanities by Alan Liu
In the above article, discussed by the CODEC reading group this week, Liu argues that the problem of meaning in the digital humanities registers the crisis of meaning in the humanities more generally:
"My thesis is that an understanding of the digital humanities can only rise to the level of an explanation if we see that the underlying issue is the disciplinary identity not of the digital humanities but of the humanities themselves. For the humanities, the digital humanities exceed (though they include) the functional role of instrument or service, the pioneer role of innovator, the ensemble role of an 'additional field', and even such faux-political roles assigned to new fields as challenger, reformer, and (less positively) fifth column. This is because the digital humanities also have a symbolic role. In both their promise and their threat, the digital humanities serve as a shadow play for a future form of the humanities that wishes to include what contemporary society values about the digital without losing its soul to other domains of knowledge work that have gone digital to stake their claim to that society" (410).

Introducing The Portal Project
CODEC was recently commissioned by the Jerusalem Trust to set up an online site for discipleship resources, which will host a broad range of materials from across the spectrum of British Christianity. We know that there are lots of great resources out there, but it can be very difficult for individuals and groups to find high-quality materials that are suitable for their context. We plan to be the first place that Christians from all kinds of churches in the UK will come to in order to find resources to use as they seek to grow and develop in their faith.

BOOK CLUB: How We Think by Katherine Hayles
This week the CODEC team focused upon the third chapter of Katherine Hayle's How We Think: Digital Media and Contemporary Technogenesis (University of Chicago Press, 2012). The third chapter focuses upon 'How We Read: Close, Hyper, Machine', and certainly gave us lots to chew on.
Initial comments were that we liked what was written, but found the emphasis on all the negative reports about digital as frustrating. An oft heard argument is that our reading is worse 'because of digital things', and some members of the team felt that there were broader cultural factors at work rather than solely technological factors. There was agreement that the forms of technology may be changing the manner of reading, as we referring to the 'F-Shaped Pattern for Reading Web Content', noting that the further a user scolls, the more eye attention tends to drop off. On p.66, Hayles noted that "Canny web designers use this information to craft web pages, and reading such web pages further intensifies this mode of reading" – so in a self-reinforcing manner, as this form of reading becomes common, more people write for it, so it becomes more common.

NEWS: New CODEC Branding
If you keep half an eye on CODEC you might have noticed a few changes that have been happening over the last few months. First up was our designation as a Research Centre of Durham University, then shortly after that came the addition of three new staff members (you can read up all about these events on our blog here).
Well, I'm glad to officially introduce our latest change: the new CODEC branding (including a video).

BOOK CLUB: Defining Digital Humanities
Back in October the CODEC team discussed Melissa Terras' inaugural professorial lecture on digital humanities, whilst this week we focused on the associated book Defining Digital Humanities: A Reader (Ashgate, 2013) edited by Terras, Nyhan, Vanhoutte. We focused upon the introduction (pp1-7), and a series of definitions of 'digital humanities', covering the years 2009 to 2012 (pp279-297).
Discussions started with a questioning of which of the definitions most resonated with members of the CODEC team, seeking to clarify that what CODEC is doing is actually "digital humanities". Bearing in mind that the text indicates that "we make no attmpt to imply that one view is more correct than another, nor do we believe this to be the case" (p279), it is unsurprising that there were a range of views. Digital humanities allows us to pursue questions humanists have always pursued, but faster and on a larger scale; it allows us to focus on digital culture, including cyberculture and posthumanism; and other projects allow us to create new online materials for future use.

BLOG: How accurate is research drawn from Social Media Data???
There is a really good piece of research in the Telegraph today which raises serious questions about the use of social media in quantitative research. The article is based on research done by Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and McGill University in Montreal. The key argument is that the bias towards specific age groups and social profiles of different social media platforms is rarely corrected within the datasets which are drawn from them.

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor is reportedly AC Milan's top summer transfer target.
Milan are expected to overhaul their squad following a disappointing Serie A campaign, which saw them fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Rumour has been rife that boss Carlo Ancelotti - who has turned down the advances of managerless Chelsea - has targeted Stamford Bridge star Didier Drogba and Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o.
However speculation in the Italian press now suggests that Anceotti has set his sights on Adebayor and that the Togo international has already agreed terms with Milan.
Arsenal, though, are believed to value Adebayor at £32million and it is unlikely manager Arsene Wenger will allow one of his top assets to leave without a fight.

Wellington Phoenix have managed to grab three points in the final minute of their clash with Adelaide United this afternoon.
Adelaide took the lead just before the quarter-hour mark through Sergio van Dijk but Wellington leveled thanks to Tim Brown, with his fifth of the season, before Ben Sigmund headed home in injury time to allow the New Zealanders to take full points away from the Reds who had skipper Travis Dodd sent off with seven minutes remaining.
A-League Week 17
Wellington Phoenix: 2 (Tim Brown 46', Ben Sigmund 90+4')
Adelaide United: 1 (Sergio van Dijk 14')
Venue: AMI Stadium, Christchurch
Crowd: 14,108
Referee: Peter O'Leary
Yellow cards: WP - Andrew Durante 23', Chris Greenacre 86', Nick Ward 87'
AU - Marcos Flores 38', Robert Cornthwaite 44'
Red card: AU - Travis Dodd 83'
GOAL The Reds struck first when Sergio van Dijk got to a Cassio free-kick first and his header looped over Phoenix keeper Mark Paston to give the visitors the lead.
GOAL Wellington hit back immediately after the break when Nick Ward played a lovely through ball to Ben Sigmund and the New Zealand international advanced towards the byline before cutting back for Tim Brown who slammed it home from close range to equalize.
Adelaide were set back when captain Travis Dodd was sent off in the 83rd minute but referee Peter O'Leary would want to be checking the replay as there was no apparent reason as to why he was shown a red at such a crucial stage of the game.
GOAL And it proved costly for Rini Coolen's men as Wellington grabbed a late winner through Sigmund in the 93rd minute when he leapt and nodded home a Marcos Rojas corner at the near post to give his side a vital victory.
Starting Line-Ups
Mark Paston (gk), Ben Sigmund, Jade North, Andrew Durante, Troy Hearfield (Greenacre 81'), Vince Lia, Manny Muscat, Tim Brown, Nick Ward (Macallister 88'), Paul Ifill, Daniel (Rojas 61')
Subs - Danny Vukovic (gk), Marcos Rojas (61'), Chris Greenacre (81'), Dylan Macallister (88')

Bumped forcefully off-message by Social Security, HPV and illegal immigrants getting state tuition, Gov. Rick Perry's presidential campaign struggles to get back to his keystone issue job creation.
Yet his campaign indicated Tuesday that Perry won't be laying out a specific program of job creation for the nation for some time. That could push him past the issues making him vulnerable on the right.
Republicans in some of the early primary states say they're eager to know how Perry helped create the Texas job machine, but they aren't getting answers.
Six weeks into Perry's campaign, amazement over Texas' jobs growth has turned into a demand for details about his state record and his jobs plan for rest of the nation.
Sen. Mike Haridopolos is president of Florida's Republican-dominated State Senate. He said he is neutral in the race, but wants more information from Perry on jobs.
Every Republican is for lower taxes, less regulation and tort reform... that's a gimme, Haridopolos said. But what specific policies did the governor do as governor that helped turn around that state?
At last week's debate, Fox News anchor Bret Baier asked Perry directly about jobs: Where's your plan? he said.
Well, you'll see a more extensive jobs plan, Perry pledged.
But not yet.
For now, Perry's jobs plan for the future looks back at what he's broadly supported in Texas.
Because Perry's response lacks details for some GOP voters, it perhaps sounds well-worn to others, since Perry's jobs rhetoric hasn't changed in about two years.
In Orlando, Perry said a three-pronged plan would create jobs:
- lower that tax burden on the small businessmen and women
- have a regulatory climate that is fair and predictable
- sweeping tort reform that we passed in 2003
But here's his explanation on job growth during the January 2010 Belo Debate prior to the March GOP gubernatorial primary: We keep our taxes low and our regulatory climate where it's fair and balanced. We don't allow for over-suing with the tort reform we passed in 2003, Perry said.
Asked when the candidate will release a jobs plan, Perry's campaign spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger told WFAA: We will have more to discuss on this issue in the coming weeks and months as the campaign continues.
Following the Orlando debate, Haridopolos was among those asking when Perry will deliver.
To detail what he did as governor to create those jobs not in broad brushes, but what tax policies, what regulatory policies did he put in place, the Florida lawmaker said.
The Dallas Morning News reported Tuesday that a Perry economic recovery and jobs plan is under review, but the draft is only a dozen pages, and revisions are under way to add some weight to it, according to a Perry source.
The jobs plan of GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney is 160 pages long.

"We have used this from birth and bought it as…"
We have used this from birth and bought it as we could get adapters to go with our Skate pram from Mamas and Papas (which we no longer use). My son is now 13 months and we are still using it, although in the hot weather he's now starting to get a bit sweaty as he's 20lb and it's a bit snug.
His feet are on the back of the seat now but he still seems happy enough in it and falls asleep readily.I was worried about the seat belt on his legs but it has never been a problem. It's easy to belt in and doesn't move about. We've had no problems with it (unlike the pram!) and would recommend it, especially for value as no extra cost of an isofix base.Read moreLess

That's the fate of 11-year old Zac Ecclestone who was taken out of classes and put into isolation at Camborne Science and International Academy in Cornwall, for not complying with school uniform rules. Presumably, the £15 haircut (£15?) was done to showcase Zac's appreciation of the MQB platform.

Latest Causes of schizophrenia Stories
Patients with schizophrenia are able to correctly see through an illusion known as the 'hollow mask' illusion, probably because their brain disconnects 'what the eyes see' from what 'the brain thinks it is seeing', according to a joint UK and German study published in the journal NeuroImage.
People with schizophrenia are more likely to also have type 2 diabetes, Medical College of Georgia researchers have found. Dr. Brian Kirkpatrick said the school's study involved 50 people newly diagnosed with schizophrenia or a related psychotic disorder with no other known risk factors.
People with schizophrenia are at increased risk for type 2 diabetes, Medical College of Georgia researchers have found.
Ninety-two percent of Canadians have heard of schizophrenia, but most do not understand what it is or its symptoms, a survey indicates.
Schizophrenia could be caused by faulty signaling in the brain, according to new research published today.
A new study conducted at the Duke Institute for Genome and Sciences Policy suggests schizophrenia is in part caused by large, rare structural changes in DNA commonly called copy number variants, or CNVs.
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine are one gene closer to understanding schizophrenia and related disorders. Reporting in the Jan. 9 issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics, the team describes how a variation in the neuregulin 3 gene influences delusions associated with schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia may blur boundaries in the brain, causing an exaggerated focus on self, U.S.
Schizophrenia may blur the boundary between internal and external realities by overactivating a brain system that is involved in self-reflection, and thus causing an exaggerated focus on self, a new MIT and Harvard brain imaging study has found.
U.S. researchers hypothesize that changes in stress hormones that occur in at-risk teenagers influence gene expression in the brain linked to mental illness.

The 2006 Toyota Rav4 featured a complete redesign. No longer is the little SUV a, um, little SUV. It grew in length by over half a foot, and a third row bench seat is now available.
Reviewers saw a large difference between the available engines. The 3.5-liter V6 rated at 269 horsepower earned rave reviews, while the 2.4-liter I4 with 166 horses was described as "sluggish."
The interior is comfortable, and optional leather makes it feel almost luxurious while giving the driver the ruggedness required for winter driving.
The transmission is lousy.

Want to Review a Different Internship?
4.3 of 5 stars
Los Angeles, CA
The courses that Nickelodeon offered throughout the course of the semester were easily the greatest part of the internship. Additionally, my supervisors were great - very understanding with all the questions I had and seemed genuinely interested in my thoughts and opinions.
Some days were slower than others, and on those days sometimes I felt as if I wasn't needed.
Go in with an open mind and set up as many meetings with other productions and departments as possible. Don't me nervous about it, because I was, and I regret not taking more meetings and informational sit downs when I had the chance.

4.4 of 5 stars
Santa Monica, CA
All the things i've learned and the connections i've made.
That I can't work all the time.
They people here have always been friendly and helpful. From the most important people to the people lower on the chain of command. If you have a dream the people at Nickelodeon will do their best to try and help you accomplish it!
The only problem i've had is that I can't work as many hours as I want as it's not in my productions budget.
Definitely the people. Everyone at the studio is so friendly. The environment here is such an amazing one. Everyone is willing to help everyone, whether its the VP of Animation to an Intern. It's so easy to ask for help and learn here.
There wasn't much I didn't like about the internship. The only thing was that my department is very small (3 people).
My advice would just be to meet everyone you can. Everyone here is so friendly and willing to help. It's a great way to network!
Access to informational meetings, mentorship within my department, professional development
Professional opportunities were not well facilitated by internship coordinators
Be mindful of making the most of your time during your internship. Maintain your role within your own department, and heed the advice of former interns and your supervisor - they will guide you well
4.2 of 5 stars
The culture and access to brilliant show runners, artists, managers, geniuses, hard workers, and the overall the kindest most helpful people anyone could encounter
It was a bit competitive amongst the interns. There wasn't much micromanaging over us, but there was a significant transition period for those in charge that led to that. Some interns snatched opportunities and didn't care to share it, and though it may be a dog eat dog world it made the kind/generous teamwork-like culture of Nickelodeon start to fade.
Enjoy everything the program has to offer, I had to commute and was attending numerous classes and I regret each class and opportunity I missed. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and it is worth every second. You can gather information from almost anyone you desire and be sure to create friendships that will last because everyone at Nickelodeon is worth knowing
I never experienced any issues or potential problems that would lead me to ask for them to change anything in this category
Learning about the industry and making contacts and friends by being inside of a studio in production was the best.
I did not like that it ended.
Be outgoing and friendly, Nickelodeon has a family-like atmosphere where people help people. Do not go in thinking what can I get for myself, rather think what can I contribute to the company. You will be repaid in experiences without even knowing it.
Be more understanding of interns wanting to branch out and take on leadership.
Other (US)
We were able to meet with industry professionals and leaders of the studio frequently. Hands on experience on a show. Great crew members who were very accepting and welcoming of interns.
I would have preferred the internship to be paid instead of for academic credit. Otherwise nothing.
It is a small but very welcoming studio. There are opportunities to get hired after the internship but not too many so be prepared to look at other studios after the internship. There are excellent opportunities to network and become close with your intern group.
Because I was only at the studio for approximately 24 hours a week I am not sure what changes can be made. Perhaps more studio wide events? As someone who was hoping to get a job as a PA after my internship I would have liked to have more positions available for interns to try for employment. Also the studio said they would send out emails notifying previous interns of job postings prior to releasing the postings to the public and I have only received one email like this in the nearly 8 months since the internship. Maybe no positions have opened in that time but I do not think so. So more attention to this would be nice.
Los Angeles, CA
Classes in different aspects of production (ie: storyboarding, post-produciton, CG, writing a resume, etc)Meetings with top executives including president, the vice presidents, and show creatorsBeing able to attend a recording session
The internship was amazing but I would have loved to have been paid at the same time.
Nickelodeon has an amazing corporate culture. I never realized how important that was until I worked there. The atmosphere is extremely creative and always fun. The people that work there don't only become your colleagues, they become your friends. If I were offered a position in a strict and depressing environment now, I would turn it down because corporate culture really effects how you thrive at a company.
I think compensation for interns would definitely help. I was very impressed with the promotion polices and hours of the company. Diversity was never an issue, creativity comes from every where. The great thing about the internship program is that the company trains you to become a full-time employee. All that you do in the internship is to prepare you for the possibility of an actual position at the studio.
The ability to have meetings with the current employees.
A lot of interns/competition
Meet with as many people as you can while here.
Nickelodeon Animation Studio is the greatest environment I could have hoped for. Everyone there is so passionate about what they do and so happy to be coming in to work every day, and that culture helped set the tone for my internship experience. I was treated like an equal, not as an inferior, and given a high degree of responsibility and independence. I felt free to ask questions and make connections around the studio. I always had a smile on my face.
I guess the only thing that could have improved my experience was if it was paid - or if somehow summer could be longer.
Be honest in your application - let Nick know right off the bat how excited you are about the opportunity! Don't be afraid to follow up or to demonstrate your interest as much as possible. And if you don't make it in your first time, don't be shy about re-applying.

European colonization and economic activity
Aside from the scattered (although successful) agricultural communes (reducciones) of the Jesuits and the settlement of Asunción, Paraguay, on its eastern fringe, the Chaco defied effective European occupancy until well into the 19th century. Hostile Indian groups, in concert with the forbidding nature of the Chaco itself, limited European influence in the colonial period to a situation much like a state of siege.
The limited early colonization in the Argentine and Bolivian Chaco was based on exploitation of the longhorn criollo (or Creole) cattle that roamed half wild throughout the region. The western Chaco Austral, near Salta, also was exploited as a source of heavy timbers for the mines in the highlands of Bolivia and Peru. In the late 19th century, the Chaco in Argentina and southern Paraguay became a land of great ranches (estancias) raising criollo cattle, and numerous, small, independent camps (obrajes) of woodcutters exploited the abundant hardwoods of the Chaco forests for lumber and firewood. Cattle grazing has continued to be the most extensive use of the land, with few substantial changes from pioneer days. One of the key problems in improving the cattle industry has been the apparent endemic nature of many serious cattle diseases and pests against which criollo cattle have developed some immunity, whereas purebred cattle have remained fully susceptible.
In the eastern Chaco, vast, highly capitalized industrial ventures established large plants to process the great quantities of tannin found in the various quebracho species. Unlike the obrajes of the woodcutters, these operations were large, centralized mills adjacent to rivers or rail lines, from which the selective cutting of quebracho has proceeded at a systematic pace. The slow growth habits of the quebracho trees, however, pose a threat to the tannin industry, as the pace of the harvest easily can exceed reforestation efforts. The relatively untouched Bolivian Chaco contains stands of quebracho timber, but most of these are in remote areas and have not been exploited while production has continued in the more accessible areas. Quebracho tannin has remained one of the economic mainstays of the Chaco, but it has faced competition from other sources of tannin, both natural and synthetic. Other forest products include lumber and heavy timbers from a variety of other species, firewood, and palo santo oil from the wood of Bulnesia sarmientii, a tree found in the more arid portions of the Chaco.
Modern developments
Cotton has become another principal crop of the Chaco. Wild cotton has been known in much of the region since pre-Columbian times, but it never was grown as anything more than an agricultural curiosity until the 20th century. During World War I, with cotton prices at a peak, large areas in Argentina's Chaco province were converted to cotton cultivation. Production was enhanced considerably by the use of irrigation and the development of drought-resistant stocks. The crop area subsequently has been expanded in Argentina, and cotton has become important in Paraguay; it also is grown in lesser quantities in Bolivia. These increases have occurred despite bad markets, insect plagues, and often poor weather in many years and more recent problems with soil erosion. Both fibre and cottonseed oil are produced, mainly for domestic consumption. Other crops include linseed, sunflowers, sorghum, and corn (maize).
The discovery of oil in the Bolivian piedmont in the 1920s led within a decade to the disastrous Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay, each country hoping to find more oil in the neighbouring Chaco Boreal. Paraguayan claims eventually were honoured, but they did not include any part of the oil-rich piedmont; subsequent explorations in Paraguay have been disappointing. Oil has been discovered across the border in Argentina, however, and large quantities of natural gas have been recovered on the northern fringe of the Bolivian Chaco near Santa Cruz.
Since World War II, efforts have been made by the respective governments to spur settlement of the Chaco. Argentine interest has been concentrated along the railways out of Resistencia and Formosa, with pioneer settlements composed mainly of eastern European immigrants and based on cotton production. In the central Paraguayan Chaco, which has been accessible by road only since 1965, Mennonite immigrants from Canada had settled in the 1920s and were joined by coreligionists from the Soviet Union in the 1930s. These settlers established self-sufficient colonies and were joined by another large contingent of refugees from the Soviet Union after World War II. The primary land use in the Bolivian Chaco is still open cattle range. The nearby supplies of oil and natural gas and the hydroelectric and water storage capacity of such fast-flowing piedmont streams as the Pilcomayo, however, offer great development potential.

Man Arrested in W'Burg for Luring 'Minor': Perverted Justice Organization Poses As ?12-Year-Old Girl' Online, Leading to Arrest of Tenn. Man
By Sean Bailey, The Times-Tribune, Corbin, Ky.
Jul. 24–A Tennessee man was arrested Tuesday night for allegedly luring a minor to a Williamsburg restaurant for a sexual encounter.
Instead of finding the "12-year-old girl" he met on the Internet, 48-year-old Billy Williams of Knoxville found officers from the Kentucky Attorney General's Department of Criminal Investigations and the Williamsburg Police Department who arrested him for first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor/illegal sex act.
According to a press release from Attorney General Jack Conway's office, Williams had been communicating with an online decoy from Perverted Justice.
The decoy posed as a 12-year-old girl.
Perverted Justice, according to its Web site, is a non-profit organization whose mission is "to address and counter the attempts of Internet predators and pedophiles from having success abusing children."
The organization is best known for its "Dateline NBC" specials in which members of the Perverted Justice crew pose as young children online, luring potential pedophiles to locations where law enforcement is standing by.
To date, Perverted Justice's Web site states that 279 predators have been convicted since 2004 as a result of the group's work.
Williams is currently lodged in the Whitley County Detention Center. According to Conway's office, if convicted, Williams could spend up to 10 years in prison.
"This arrest was the result of collaboration between investigators at the state and local level," Conway stated in the press release. "I appreciate the fact that, working together, we were able to execute this arrest and keep Kentucky families safe."

Advertisers seek essentially three different outcomes when they buy display (or graphical) ads online — either to build brand awareness, promote something new, or drive some kind of transaction (a lead, a sale, a new customer). The latter, known as performance marketing, has been exploding online over the past year because it's typically served around social media content, where there's no shortage of inventory.
It's an area in which our teams have been working feverishly to provide better solutions. Their jobs just got easier.
Yahoo! just entered an agreement to acquire BlueLithium, one of the largest and fastest growing online global ad networks with a stable of direct response products and tools for advertisers and publishers. BlueLithium runs the fifth largest ad network in the U.S. and the second largest in the U.K., providing access to valuable audiences and increasing our ability to sell performance-based campaigns both on and off our network.
With more than 100 employees, including computer scientists and researchers, BlueLithium is known for providing powerful data analytics to help customers get the most out of their campaigns as well as impressive behavioral targeting capabilities. They provide the dashboards and insights our performance customers have been asking for — capabilities that have been a bit of an Achilles heel for us.
By acquiring BlueLithium, we'll be accelerating our advertiser, product, and engineering roadmaps and will be in position to better compete in the burgeoning performance marketing arena.
This is the logical next step as we build what we believe will be one of the world's leading online display ad networks, which includes inventory on Yahoo!'s owned and operated properties, our affiliate network (our partnerships with eBay, Comcast, and our consortium of nearly 400 newspapers), the Yahoo! Publisher Network, and the Right Media Exchange.
This is an important milestone for Yahoo!. As Sue Decker said in the press release, "…this transaction demonstrates our commitment to increasing our investments in areas which can most contribute to Yahoo!'s long-term success."
We look forward to welcoming the BlueLithium team aboard and benefiting from their expertise.
