Robot Replay have a new tool that allows you to watch a movie of what people are doing on your site (not quite live). It has been touted as a new way of doing 'usability'.
You can see people's mouse movements in full, not just where they click, as happens with web analytics.
Of course, nothing beats asking your users questions and you still have to spend the time looking through all the live footage. Do you think this thing will fly?

POF's Revolt Rifle reworks the AR platform with a straight-pull action, making for an extremely precise firearm that has the benefit of being legal from sea to shining sea.
Gun Review: CMMG Mutant is a Beast of a Hybrid
Shooting to take the best from the AR and AK platforms and marrying them, CMMG's new rifle appears to be a real beast. But more important than just being innovative, the Mutant also proves to be functional.
Photo Gallery: Five New ARs from FNH
Whether you're looking for a carbine for home defense or a weekend competitive rifle, FNH might have you covered. The transnational company has released five new AR-style rifles for 2015 that look like they're worth drawing a bead on.
Market Trends: AR Furniture, Parts and Accessories Moving in Kentucky
Customizing an AR is part of the attraction of owning one. For a retailer in the Bluegrass State, this has meant accessories for the firearm has flown off the shelves.

Are ARs So 2013?
There is no doubt the firearms market has been red hot the past couple years, especially for AR-style rifles. So what does the future hold for these popular firearms?

I naively believed that following the recent presidential election, controversy over the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would abate. My wife, who was opposed to ObamaCare and, like me, enjoys reading The Wall Street Journal, never fails to point out articles critical of the ACA. For example, she asked me if I had read an op-ed piece by Daniel Kessler, "ObamaCare's Broken Promises," in the Feb. 1 issue of the WSJ. I had read it and when she asked for my reactions, I shrugged.
Why did I respond to my wife in that way? The four broken promises cited by Kessler were:
I guess the reason I shrugged was that the payment source for roughly 30 million Americans, which accounts for around 90 percent of all ACA spending, won't kick in for another year. Almost everything in the article was speculative. And as is true with most op-ed pieces, there is nothing about the positive aspects of the ACA.
On this point, most of the criticism of the ACA focuses on its costs. It is like doing a cost-benefit analysis and ignoring the benefits.
After years of attending three-day health policy conferences sponsored by the Colorado Health Foundation, I have come to agree with many speakers that providing a payment source for the uninsured is a good idea, not just for these people but also for the healthcare provider community. I assume that is why the American Hospital Association committed to a $155 billion give-back (over 10 years); that is one of the rarely mentioned sources of funding for the ACA.
Here are a few other parts of the ACA (which I read in its entirety shortly after it passed in March 2010) that are never mentioned by critics:
When I read an op-ed piece critical of the ACA, I would at least like to see some mention of the potential benefits. There is no doubt in my mind that the ACA has numerous flaws, but don't these need to be balanced against its positive aspects?

NEW YORK (AP) — Toll Brothers says its fiscal fourth-quarter net income soared, helped by a large income tax benefit and a 48 percent rise in revenue. The luxury homebuilder delivered more homes and its order backlog increased.
CEO Douglas C. Yearley Jr. said in a statement on Tuesday that higher home prices, low interest rates, pent-up demand and improving consumer confidence prompted buyers to return to the housing market this year.
Last week a batch of government reports showed that rising home values, more hiring and lower gas prices pushed consumer confidence in November to the highest level in nearly five years. On Tuesday, Core Logic reported that a measure of U.S. home prices rose 6.3 percent in October compared with a year ago, the largest yearly gain since July 2006.
For the three months ended Oct. 31, Toll Brothers Inc. earned $411.4 million, or $2.35 per share. That's up sharply from $15 million, or 9 cents per share, a year ago.
The latest quarter included an income tax benefit of $350.7 million.
Excluding the tax benefit and other items, earnings were 35 cents per share.
Analysts expected earnings of 25 cents per share for the quarter, which typically exclude one-time items, according to a FactSet poll.
Revenue increased to $632.8 million from $427.8 million, topping Wall Street's forecast of $565.1 million.
Homebuilding deliveries climbed 44 percent to 1,088 units, while net signed contracts jumped 70 percent to 1,098 units. The average price of homes delivered increased to $582,000 from $565,000 a year earlier.

On the 17th of July 2013 iHub Consulting in partnership with the African Management Initiative (AMI) held its first business management training targeting entrepreneurs.
AMI is a pan-African organisation that offers high-quality, affordable, practical and locally relevant management education to managers and entrepreneurs across Africa - both online and offline. AMI courses cover issues that are essential for entrepreneurs and managers at small businesses - topics like Managing Money, Managing People and Managing Myself. They are developed specifically for Africa, in partnership with the continent's leading business schools - including Kenya's Strathmore Business School.
AMI and iHub will be offering Learning Lab workshops on October 29th to iHub's community of technologists, entrepreneurs and SMEs. The sessions will be held at iHub on Ngong Road, and led by a team of AMI facilitators and iHub administrative support. The first course is called 'Success@Work in 21st Century Africa', and focuses on four areas: goal setting; self-management; communication and influencing others. Participants are encouraged to immediately apply what they learn to their job or business. They complete practical assignments and team up with 'buddies' for support and feedback. Participants who complete the online quizzes and offline assignments receive a personalised AMI Certificate of Completion.
Feedback from an pilot AMI/iHub session in August was extremely positive. Cheruto, who manages a team of seven staff at online retailer MamaMikes noted she had learnt more about herself and influencing styles from the session:
"I liked the lab-based format because of the interaction, better application to Kenyan/African context and learning with partners," she said.
Tim who owns his company, Vanadium Consulting and Logistics, and previously worked in the travel industry agreed:
"Excellent session, eye opening and very interesting mix of participants," he said
A facilitated session will be held on Tuesday 29th October 2013 at the iHub from 9.00am to 4.30pm. There will be a subsidized fee of sh. 4,250 per person (payable on the material day) covering training, snacks and lunch. You will need to bring a laptop and set of earphones with you.
Sign up HERE to be part of this training. Slots will be given out on a first-come-first-served basis. The class will have a maximum of 20 participants, and extra applicants will be trained on a later date in November.

And the Best US Architecture Schools for 2015 Are…
DesignIntelligence has released their 2015 rankings of the Best US Architecture Schools for both undergraduate and graduate programs. Over 1,400 professional practice organizations were surveyed and asked to respond to the question: "In your firm's hiring experience in the past five years, which of the following schools are best preparing students for success in the profession?" In addition, more than 3,800 architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, and industrial design students were also surveyed about their education, in data presented separately from the rankings.
However, perhaps more enlightening than the ranking itself are the firms' responses to several additional issues raised in the report. For example, 54.6% of the firms surveyed selected sustainability and climate change as the professions' biggest concern, while maintaining design quality was a close second. Firms also provided insights on the most important qualities of new graduates entering the workplace, with an overwhelming 70.1% selecting attitude/personality as the most important attribute.
Read on after the break for the Top 10 undergraduate and graduate programs.
2013 United States Best Architecture Schools
UPDATE: The lists have been updated from showing the Top 5 Schools in each category, to the Top 20.
James Cramer and the Greenway Group have released the 14th edition of DesignIntelligence, a compilation of different rankings for accredited architecture schools in the United States. The report attempts to create a level playing ground upon which to rank the universities by polling thousands of students, talking to deans and administrators, interviewing successful designers in private practices, and visiting each university campus. While the findings may raise some debate, overall, the report creates a dialogue as to how, and to what extent, higher education responds to the changing demands of our profession.
Although design education is generally well respected, several of the educators, students and practitioners interviewed this year were critical of its current state, believing that it is simply not good enough. As Cramer describes, "Respect for design education is high – and can grow further. This will require that there be a deep understanding of the dimensions of the trends in the design profession. When schools and practitioners are in harmony on these dimensions of change, they can reinforce and enhance each other. In this there is art and science. Leadership is at issue. The big shifts can be signs of new strength in a time of flux."

Frightened Rabbit cover Death Cab For Cutie – video
Scott Hutchison plays 'Different Names for the Same Thing'
Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison has recorded a cover of the Death Cab For Cutie song 'Different Names for the Same Thing'. You can watch the video below.
Speaking to SPIN magazine about his version of the track from 'Plans', Hutchison said:
Speaking to SPIN magazine about his version of the track from 'Plans', Hutchison said:
I almost tried to 'countrify' the song, as it has such a strong beautiful melody. It's a very simple song at its core, so I just stuck with that basic structure and let it be plaintive and sad.
The song is intended as a thank you to Frightened Rabbit fans who have supported the charity Invisible Children.
Invisible Children is an organisation seeking to end the use of child soldiers in Central Africa. You can visit their website here.
Speaking about the charity Hutchison said:
Face to face, person to person encounters are so much more effective than blanket campaigns. Charity work should be personal as well as widespread and I think this is a great way to achieve both.
Frightened Rabbit are currently supporting Death Cab For Cutie on their North American tour.

But the war never really ended for the Karen tribesmen who fought with the British to drive the Japanese out of Burma, and who now live as refugees in jungle camps astride the Thai-Myanmar border or inside their ravaged homeland, impoverished and driven from their homes in a brutal insurgency.
These ethnic minority people, who were made promises by the British that were fatally broken, remain virtually forgotten and unrewarded by the outside world as the 65th anniversary of the Allied victory in Asia approaches on Aug. 15. For them, medals, parades and joyous family reunions all ring hollow.
Yet the Karen warriors, all in their 80s and 90s, have forgiven their former allies - and even remember them with stirring fondness.
"As I bent down to pull him away, the bullet hit me here," recounts Sein Aye, pointing to a reddish scar on his neck. The Japanese had ambushed his unit, and the teenage soldier, recruited from a farming village, dragged a gravely wounded British officer to safety under fire.
Simeon U - 91 years old, twice wounded, four times decorated - recalls killing at least five Japanese "with my own hands" and staying behind their lines when the bulk of the battered British force retreated in 1942.
He fought in the hills as a guerrilla with Maj. Hugh Paul Seagrim, a lanky man nicknamed "Grandfather Longlegs."
The Japanese announced that their reprisals would end if Seagrim surrendered, so the officer walked into their camp, only to be executed with seven Karen companions. He remains a legend among the Karen.
"He was a great chap. We trusted him. He inspired the Karen people," says Simeon U, squatting on the floor of a bamboo hut at Mae Rama Luang, a camp embedded in a remote valley housing 20,000 Karen refugees.
When the Japanese invaded, the Burma Independence Army, an armed group composed mainly of the Burman ethnic majority, joined them in hopes of wresting independence from Britain, the colonial ruler. Among their targets were the Karen, whom the British had much favored.
When the British retreated to India, some, like Seagrim, managed to stay behind and later were joined by other British soldiers infiltrated back into the country. They organized the Karen into a fighting force.
But for the Karen, the war did not end with Japan's defeat. In 1949, a year after Burma gained its independence, the tribe rose in rebellion, having failed to secure a state of its own as the British had promised. It would become the world's longest insurgency.
In 1989 the country's military rulers changed the country's name to Myanmar.
The struggle has taken a massive toll: an estimated half-million people driven from their homes in Myanmar's Karen State, some 150,000 of them living as refugees in Thailand.

Brainwavz S0 In-Ear Headphones
"Recently I was contacted my Brainwavz to sample one of their brand new products. This review however will be a little different from others and quite a bit shorter as we're only doing some basic design impressions and mostly what counts, the sound to give you guys out there a grasp on S0's signature. To my understanding Brainwavz S0 is a budget orientated in ear headphone that's..." --H20Fidelity
Brainwavz B2 Dual Balanced Armature Earphones
"Summary of my experience with these: Build: Feels cheap and plasticky. In fact the box appears better made than the earphones. :) Treble: Very detailed, forward and sharp. No real sibilance BUT is very fatiguing after even after short listening sessions Mids: Again very detailed but there appears to be some forward and some recessed elements depending on the track you are listening to. The..." --Krisman
Brainwavz R3 Dual Dynamic Driver Earphones
"Quick Summary: While these earphones have a really "unique" design to them, once you get over this, you will be rewarded with a beautifully balanced sound. I would put them on a similar tier as the very popular, and head-fi favorites Hifiman re400 and the Vsonic GR07. This is very high praise, let's find out below! I want to thank Brainwavz for their patience and for sending a pair of..." --Tom22
Brainwavz M3
" Me: I am a 21 year old Engineering student living in a small town in India. I would like to call myself a music enthusiast, rather than an audiophile. I was inspired by music since childhood, and as the time passed, the passion of music grew in me, and that subsequently led me to join Head-Fi. Eventually, I found the pleasure of listening to music mainly by the HD600 and recently, by the..." --YoYo JoKeR
Brainwavz R1
"I'll start of by saying these are a pair of really respectable headphones and these are my subjective opinion on them. At their price point, I think you'll be hard pressed to find anything better without going higher in pricing They perform well for their price. All in all, a good pair of headphones just for casual everyday listening of music. Audiophiles will not be impressed however...." --cjs001
Brainwavz Beta (V2)
"Very nicely balanced overall. Bass very slightly lacking, but this is a matter of taste. Lots of tips to choose from, and came with foamies! Cheaply put together though. Loads of microphonics. Clip is useless. Thought I heard some imbalance but it went away with burn-in. Questionable quality? After further burn-in, my Betas became very bass..." --inline79
Brainwavz M4 In-Ear Headphones
"refer to my Xiaomi Pistons review for my detailed thoughts about this one, this two are indentical in general. the only difference between them is the frequency balance. M4 comes with some midbass frequencies amplified a little bit which helps the naturality of the bass sounds usually, but of course that is also depends on the songs played. so if you feel distortions or overly strong bass i can..." --vaziyetu
Brainwavz ProAlpha In-Ear Headphones Bass Lovers
" I bought the Visang R02 version. No different sound wise, just sold through them. My Second IEM I bought and the first into the true Head-Fi Market. And I love them. Packaging: Nice suave packaging on show here. A medium sized black and blue box with the IEM's showing through the clear plastic window on the outside. Opening them, the cable sits in their clamshell case with the..." --LucasRobert0897
Jays t-JAYS Two
"Bought these headphones as a means to replace my sennheiser cx300-ii, which was still working at the time so I had a standard to compare the jays to. First thing I realised was that the jays had a bit more bass than the sennheisers - which was something I was looking for back then. Next thing I noticed was that the mids and highs were not as clear as they were on the..." --flat bob
Jays a jays three
"The box is really nice, inside you can find a circular small case for the eraphones (actually not that handly), airplane adapter and a splitter. The earphones looks good and sober. I think they are well built too, 2 years on the go without any sign of backdown. They are easy to insert, but not totally comfortable nor microphonic-free. The soundstage is ok. Basses are punchy but not really..." --JamesTrab

Tony Stewart returned to racing Friday, and most of his peers were beyond pleased to welcome him back.
"I'm excited to have my friend back," Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kevin Harvick said Friday at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga.
Stewart has not raced since Aug. 9, when he was involved in a collision that killed 20-year-old Kevin Ward during a dirt track race in upstate New York. An investigation into the accident is ongoing.
Stewart was said by close friends and team employees to be under a heavy emotional toll since the incident, which became a national story and attracted international media to Georgia this week.
"As I've watched and been very frustrated through a lot of this, you get outside our core media and the perceptions are tough to see and listen to," Harvick said. "For me, it's very important for those people to understand that our sport is just like a lot of other sports. There's a lot of emotion involved in what we do. You see those highlight reels of people throwing stuff - in this case Tony throwing stuff, but you get in the heat of the moment and you can make that highlight reel for most of us. It's tough to see and hear the things that are being tossed that way toward him."
After skipping three Sprint Cup races, Stewart is returning for Sunday night's Oral-B USA 500.
"Trying to feel something normal again might feel good to him," teammate Danica Patrick said. "It was a tragic accident, so there's no timeline when you work through that.
"I don't think he'd be here if he didn't feel like he was ready."

I don't know what price range you're looking for, but I can recommend Gigabyte's gtx660, it's around $230us (not sure about uk pricing). I wouldn't call it a small card but it's a bit shorter than a gtx680. I'm really happy with mine so far, idle temp stays around 30c and running skyrim on fairly high settings and 1080p it runs at 50c or so. Stays nice and quiet, I don't think I've ever heard it speed up the fan yet.

02 July 2013 20:04 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--US July epoxy resin contracts are expected to settle at a decline or rollover, sources said on Tuesday.
Buyers said they are starting to settle contracts at a decline of 3-4 cents/lb ($66-88/tonne, €51-68/tonne), owing mostly to long supply.
This would put July contracts in a $1.45-1.52/lb range on a DEL bulk (delivered in bulk) basis, the buyers said.
"The market is long so we can get whatever we want," a buyer said. "Demand is kind of mushy. It's only enough to keep the business going."
Some producers said they are holding out for a decline of 1-2 cents/lb, while others are holding out for a rollover.
"We're suffering enough on the profitability without going lower," a producer said. "We haven't seen any break in raw materials. They're still high."
Market players said the long supply is being created by softer-than-expected domestic demand and a glut of less expensive imports.
Buyers in the architectural coatings market said that the typical late-spring and summer boost to demand has not materialised and appears unlikely to do so.
Producers were expecting the increase in demand and built up inventories, sources said, which has made domestic supply slightly long.
Coupled with a soft Asian market that has pushed sellers there to move material into the US, the US market is described as long by most buyers.
"We're not sure how the Asians are doing it," the producer said. "But demand would still be soft without the extra material."
Currently, US spot prices are assessed by ICIS at a 12-16 cent/lb discount to domestic product.
"The domestic producers have been concerned about the imports for a while now," another buyer said. "Now they might be ready to compete."
Major US epoxy resins producers include Dow Chemical, Huntsman and Momentive.

Kansas names Cozart starting QB
APR 17, 2014 11:22a ET
Kansas coach Charlie Weis knows who will begin 2014 as his starting quarterback.
Sophomore Montell Cozart won the job after ending 2013 as the Jayhawks' starter and reclaimed the job ahead of Jake Heaps this spring.
Last season, Cozart ran for 214 yards and a touchdown on 66 carries and completed 23 of 63 (36.5 percent) passes for 227 yards and two interceptions.
Cozart emerged as a standout this spring and completed 6 of 10 passes for 58 yards in the spring game. He also ran for two touchdowns and 70 yards on just seven carries.
Kansas opens its season Sept. 6 against Southeast Missouri State.
The Jayhawks went 3-9 last season, but ended a 27-game losing streak in Big 12 play by beating West Virginia 31-19 in a game Cozart started.

There is a fellow in about a month, bringing a C30 from Portland to the sound. So if a 30'r can get from there to here, a 40'ish ft boat should be able to go south. Either coast, area can get bad winds and waves.
I am sure the Catilina's of that size have crossed oceans, even gone around the world. C27's have gone around!
A lot will depend upon you, as mentioned, looking at weather forcasts, if a hurricane or equal is near by, wait it out and make sure you do not sail into it! Local squalls, not a lot you can do about those, as they appear suddenly, ie cyclone twister thunder boomer style squals. Those you have to watch for yourself.
Personally I feel that there are some better designed boats for equal to a bit more money, but what youare looking at will work.
Have fun

2004 BEST Bakery, Cape Cod
Cottage Street Bakery
This tiny bakery makes breads, sandwiches, and European-style pastries worth searching out—plus unbelievable muffins, pies, and wedding cakes. But what puts it over the top is its inelegant-sounding "dirt bomb," a dense, indulgent breakfast pasty dusted with cinnamon and sugar. It's a sweet way to jump-start any Cape Cod morning.

Injuries, schedule key to charmed start for Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)
Chiefs coach Andy Reid stepped to the podium Wednesday and, as usual, was about to begin his news conference by delivering a quick run-through of the injury report.
Then he stopped himself. He looked at his notes. He shrugged.
''We don't really have any injuries,'' he said. ''Everybody's going to practice today.''
Of course. That's the way things are going for the charmed Chiefs this season.
As teams across the league deal with devastating injuries to some of their best players - quarterback Sam Bradford in St. Louis, wide receiver Reggie Wayne in Indianapolis - unbeaten Kansas City has just about everyone healthy, just as it has most of the season.
Throw in a favorable schedule and a wave of key injuries to opponents, and it seems as if everything is lining up in the most splendid way imaginable for the Chiefs.
''This is a rough business. Injuries do take place. I get it. But we've been fortunate,'' Reid offered by way of an explanation. ''That's really what it is.''
The Chiefs have certainly had times where injuries stacked up. Just a couple of years back, running back Jamaal Charles and safety Eric Berry, both Pro Bowlers, went down with season-ending knee injuries a week apart, sending the team into a downward spiral.
Just about the worst thing to happen to the Chiefs this season has been injuries to a couple rookies who were likely to be backups: tight end Travis Kelce and safety Sanders Commings. Kelce is done for the year, but even Commings is due to come back from injured reserve soon.
''Some of it is chance,'' Reid said. ''Sometimes it comes in waves. That's how it works.''
It's not just that the Chiefs have been healthy; it's that their opponents have not.
Starting in Week 1, when Jacksonville quarterback Blaine Gabbert was dealing with a thumb injury, Kansas City has met teams in disarray. It was Ryan Fitzpatrick starting at quarterback for an injured Jake Locker in Tennessee, and Case Keenum making his first NFL start in place of Texans QB Matt Schaub in a 17-16 victory last week that ran the Chiefs' record to 7-0.
Not only was Schaub hurt before playing Kansas City, Texans running back Arian Foster went down on the first series of the game with a hamstring injury, and star linebacker Brian Cushing was lost for the season early in the second half with a major knee injury.
The trend of facing backups continues this week, too.
Browns coach Rob Chudzinski announced Wednesday that Jason Campbell will make his first start of the season in place of ineffective Brandon Weeden on Sunday. Weeden was already a replacement for Brian Hoyer, who sustained a season-ending knee injury Oct. 3.
''You go in every week respecting every opponent,'' linebacker Derrick Johnson said, ''but at the same time, we don't really care who plays as long as we execute our defensive scheme.''
Injuries to opponents such as Tennessee and Houston have softened the Chiefs' schedule, but it was already soft. The Jaguars are still winless after tying Kansas City for the NFL's worst record last year, and the Giants finally won a game this past week.
Altogether, teams the Chiefs have played this season are a combined 15-33, and all but the Cowboys have a losing record. Oakland and Houston each have just two wins.
''I mean, for us the bottom line is to win games,'' quarterback Alex Smith said. ''With that is to continue to get better as the season goes on, as the stage gets bigger.''
Regardless of the opponent.
The stage can only get bigger considering the high-profile games still on the docket. Among them are home-and-away matchups against the Broncos and Chargers, a game at Washington and one against the Colts, the only team to beat the Seahawks and Broncos this season.
Perhaps that's why nobody in the Kansas City locker room is celebrating the perfect start too much. They know plenty of tough opponents remain on the schedule.
They also know they've been leading a charmed existence so far.

I wanted to post an update to my review concerning gas mileage: We have just over 4,000 miles on our Rogue now and have taken several long highway trips and the gas mileage has been disappointing to say the least. The best we have hit is 25 MPG but on most trips it's 24 MPG. This is filling up before getting on the HWY and driving 250 to 350 miles at a time. Suburban driving around home is much better you can usually get 25-27 MPG on average. Not happy with the Highway gas mileage. Anyone else having the same MPG issue? No where near what Nissan Stated in their marketing.

|In this study, ZnO NPs suspension was studied for their antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli O157:H7. Beef cuts inoculated with E. coli O157:H7 were wrapped with 5% (wt %) yam starch films incorporated with ZnO NPs suspension of 0, 6 and 12 mM and refrigerated at 4oC. An average of 0.5‐log reduction of the bacteria growth of the cocktail mixture of three E. coli O157:H7 strains was observed with yam starch films containing 6 or 12 mM ZnO NPs in three replications after 8 days. Various concentrations of ZnO NPs powder from 0.05 to 1% w/w were added to corn starch. The presence and characterization of ZnO NPs in corn starch was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energydispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS). Quantification of ZnO NPs was determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP‐OES). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic methodologies presented for detection, characterization, and quantification of ENPs in a food sample by a combination of methods. It could potentially be applied to other common NPs such as TiO2 NPs and MgO NPs in other food products.

For some people having a pet is more than their budget can handle. With the rising cost of food, budgeting for pet food has forced some people to give up their pets.
A volunteer group is trying to reverse that trend.

"I know that I've seen people cry when they received food for their pets," said Zimmerman.

Picture: Ava Locklear and Heather Locklear The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 World Premiere held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live Los Angeles, California...
Heather Locklear and her former partner, Jack Wagner, have been ordered to appear at an LA Attorney's Office to determine whether or not they will be charged with criminal battery for the fight that took place at Locklear's home. At the time of the fight, neither party wanted to press charges but the file was passed to the City Attorney for review.
According to a report in The UK's Daily Mail, the reason behind Heather Locklear's recent hospitalisation was a "blowout fight" with her former fiance. Locklear and Wagner began dating in 2007 and announced their engagement in August 2011. However, by November 2011, it was announced that they had in fact split. On January 12, 2012, paramedics were called to Heather's home and she was taken to hospital for treatment, where her parents assured members of the press that she was recovering.
Today's story in The Daily Mail suggests that the fight started when her fellow Melrose Place star, Wagner, arrived at her house to return some of her possessions, sparking the ensuing fight. A source had told Star magazine that "A huge argument erupted as they insulted each other's families.as Heather went to her car, Jack lunged at her, trying to grab or push her. Her reaction was to swing." Her right hook reportedly knocked him to the ground. The report also suggests that the troubled actress has been taking Xanax to control her anxiety after splitting with Wagner. It was the combination of Xanax and alcohol that caused her sister to call the emergency services last week.

In the aftermath of last year's Newtown school shootings, Rhode Island politicians leaped on the gun control bandwagon. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay wonders what's happened since.
After last December's horrific school massacre in Connecticut, political leaders from the White House to the Rhode Island State House vowed to crack down on gun violence. Gov. Lincoln Chafee, Attorney General Peter Kilmartin, House Speaker Gordon Fox and Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed all advocated measures to advance gun control in our state.
The debate over how to respond to gun-related violence is heating up at the Statehouse. A lobbyist for the National Rifle Association is slated to brief state reps Wednesday.NRA lobbyist Darin Goens will offer a briefing at the request of Woonsocket Representative Lisa Baldelli Hunt. The discussion comes as the Assembly is expected to consider a series of gun-related bills later this session.
(PROVIDENCE, RI) Congressman David Cicilline is lashing out at the National Rifle Association for an ad it unveiled this week critical of the protection afforded the President's two daughters. In a letter to supporters, Cicilline calls it a "new low" and says petty personal attacks have no place in the public debate on gun violence prevention. "The NRA doesn't want to have a serious discussion on gun violence," Cicilline says, adding "they just want to drag things into the gutter."

and others who support the very existance of Israel and their security are minding their own business. Each nation sends Israel billions in aid for defence. But if Israel did more to promote peace, the burden they cast on others would be less.

So as doner nations to the existance of Israel: It is their business!

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- For as long as I have called Netflix (NFLX - Get Report) a short, I have expressed a certain level of due respect for Reed Hastings.
Of course, I took shots at Hastings along the way, but it has been difficult not to. And, while I am reluctant to put him in a class with Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos, you're simply not being objective if you do not think he's a sharp guy and a visionary.
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings
He invented DVD-by-mail. That, in and of itself, deserves props. It's not simply that he invented it; it's the way he invented it.
Long story short, Hastings was returning an overdue movie while on his way to the gym. As he agonized over the resultant late fee, it dawned on him: the movie rental industry should run its business more like a gym. Charge a flat, monthly rate and allow people to use your service as often as they like. What might have ended as a daydream for most people creative enough to even have it in the first place turned into a company that changed the way millions entertain themselves.Now, as Netflix transitions aggressively into a streaming pure play, Hastings has not had much to say over the last few months. Other than lashing out at Comcast (CMCSA) over net neutrality and gliding his way through a couple of conference calls, he has been relatively mum. The silent treatment, whether intentional or not, makes sense for Hastings. It should make you think twice if you're short Netflix stock. When Reed Hastings talks too much, he tends to get himself in trouble. That's been his history over the last year or so. And I am not talking about the so-called missteps the mainstream media latched onto in 2011. The well-publicized price increase and Qwikster debacle came as no surprise to me. They were merely outcomes of two larger, more structural errors Hastings made along the way.
