AT&T Carves Subsidies Out of Monthly Plans
Article Comments
Thank You T-Mobile
This is why I believe in keeping T-Mobile and Sprint around. They DO matter. They are never going to compete head to head with Verizon and AT&T but they give them something to think about at least. I don't ever want to see Verizon or AT&T allowed to gobble up another carrier.

Happy Camper from Palm Springs, CA (and all of the West) – Verified Buyer
This BBQ Grill is amazing! Such a great design! It's super-compact, opens perfectly, functions as it should, cleans simply, and closes up again in a jiffy. THE PERFECT GRILL for me and my Airstream trailer. I can't compliment the designers of this grill more strongly. It is simply the best design for a traveling grill. I should know, I have a degree in design, and this must have won some kind of design contest. If it didn't, I award it the BETTER THAN ALL THE REST Golden Award. One thing that should be part of the purchase package (or an option I am unaware of) is a cloth "bag" to store it in when it's not in use. I keep it in the box it came in - but that won't last much longer. BUY THIS GRILL if you want one that is compact, easy to use, easy to clean and easy to store!
beebee from Hollywood, FL – Verified Buyer
This portable grill is very unique and doesn't require to be assembled. Easy to clean and just right for my small family.
Great item for small apartment dwellers.
Colleen from Elgin, IL – Verified Buyer
The grill looks perfect for my use, since I have no storage in my small cottage. and in the winter it will fit into the trunk of my car. Pros: great idea for small grills that fold up for storage.
Perfect for camping!
Mary-Brett Purnell from Raleigh, NC – Verified Buyer
Perfect grill for camping since it folds flat for easy storage and has a handle for easy transport. CAUTION it does get hot so don't touch it while it's hot!
Just the right size
SerialmomB from Connecticut
I live in a condo and have limited space. I have a Weber grill which works for parties but uses so much charcoal and there is no way to regulate the height of the coals so I don't like it to cook small meals.This grill takes up little space and I can sit it on the rack of the Weber so I don't need a separate table. It,s quick and easy. I love it!
Great grill for city apt
Abigail Holden from Boston, MA – Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
I live in the city so don't have much room for storage so I absolutely LOVE this grill. Completely folds up flat and can be stored easily. Also has a fairly large grill surface so you can cook a lot at once. Definitely recommend.
I love this grill!
Fly Trap from Springfield, IL
I've always preferred the flavor of charcoal-grilled food to gas-grilled and because we needed one for temporary use, while we have a stone charcoal grill built outside our patio. This particular grill is lightweight, so easy to use, clean and store! We can bring it with us anywhere and uses up minimal space in our car.
Just Right

What's next for 11-year-old tied to murder?
In court, the boy often sits low in his chair next to his attorney, sometimes fidgeting but cooperative. The orange clothing he wears from Juvenile Hall hangs loosely on his small frame.
At his first appearance he raised his hand and waved hello to the judge.
Because of his age, the boy is referred to in court only by his first name. U-T San Diego is not publishing his name because he cannot be tried as an adult.
The boy's 50-year-old mother has been at every Juvenile Court hearing. Often she looks stricken, but remains silent through each proceeding, with one or two supporters seated beside her. Attempts to reach her for comment were unsuccessful.
The boy's court-appointed attorney raised the competence issue with the court. Because of confidentiality restrictions, authorities would not discuss why the request was made or other specifics of the case.
But psychiatrists and lawyers who work in the juvenile system say they look for one of three conditions when assessing whether a minor is competent to stand trial: immaturity, mental health or developmental problems — all of which affect whether the minor can understand the court proceedings and assist in their defense.
"It's a legal question, not a medical one," said Dr. Jeffrey Rowe, the county's supervising psychiatrist for Children's Mental Health. He worked with other clinicians and legal experts in the mid-2000s to develop rules for determining competency in minors.
Before then, the belief among many was that children under 12 were not competent to be tried because they were too immature, Rowe said. Many of those cases resulted in plea agreements or the charges were dropped outright.
"I think people had trouble with it," he said. "In milder cases it wasn't such a big deal, but in more serious cases it was a big deal."
Now, Rowe said, evaluation tools are available to help clinicians make better assessments of competency in minors. If a child is immature, he can be taught to understand the court process. If he is mentally ill, he can be treated — and medicated, if necessary, at a hospital or residential treatment facility.
In those cases, the Juvenile Court retains jurisdiction while the child is being treated and checks in periodically to gauge progress. If competency is restored, the case resumes.
"This process, it's new," Rowe said. "Each case is its own experiment."
Susan Madden Lankford, a Rancho Santa Fe writer and photographer, has interviewed teenage boys and girls held at the Kearny Mesa hall. Based on those talks, she self-published the book "Born, Not Raised: Voices from Juvenile Hall" last year.
She said an 11-year-old is likely not an easy fit. She said she recalled only one child over the years who was the same age when she came to the facility — an 11-year-old girl. Lankford said the boy's case presents a clinical challenge, but she believes he will be thoroughly assessed by authorities.
Receiving excellent care
At Juvenile Hall, the boy accused of killing his playmate Ryan sleeps alone in a small cinder block room. His bed is a concrete block with a thin mattress and blankets on top. In most of the rooms, a small desk is affixed to one wall.

Prisoner 24601 Comes To Zip Code 54601
The La Crosse Community Theatre has a very big show to put on its new downtown stage a year from now...the musical 'Les Miserables.'
LCT executive director David Kilpatrick says his staffers tried getting the rights to 'Les Miz' a year ago by contacting the original British producer, and were turned down. But the company that handles the American rights to the play called the community theatre just last week, to offer the show to La Crosse.
'Les Miz' is scheduled to be the third play performed by LCT in the new building now being constructed on the riverfront. 'Macbeth' will be the opening show early next year.
Huebsch Has To Plan Budget, Recall Or No Recall

Speaking on WIZM's La Crosse Talk, the former West Salem lawmaker says the recall campaign against Walker will have no immediate impact on his agency's work. Huebsch says his office will have to oversee the budget process, no matter who is elected governor.

April Fool's Story Uproar
Is the 32 mile Sparta-Elroy trail being sold to Disney? Seems as though that was the story around western Wisconsin last week. And it turns out, it was all a practical joke. But to some, it wasn't too funny. A local newspaper, The County Line in Ontario, followed their annual tradition of posting odd April Fool's stories...but this one got all the way to the capitol. A story Friday stated that Disney was buying the trail used by thousands every year as a walking and biking trail. After several concerned residents called their area lawmakers and the Department of Natural Resources, spokesman Bill Cosh, said that the sale was a joke and was never planned. And Disney could not just buy it anyway as the trail would first have to be identified to the public as no longer needed for conservation, and would need approval by the state Natural Resources Board and governor.

No appeal of ruling on women's group at wall
JERUSALEM — Israel's attorney general says he will not appeal a court ruling permitting a liberal Jewish women's group to pray freely at a Jerusalem holy site.
An Israeli court instructed police last month to stop detaining women for performing religious rituals and wearing garb that Orthodox Judaism reserves for men.
The "Women of the Wall" movement has been trying for decades to break Orthodox control on prayer at the Western Wall, one of Judaism's holiest sites.
Orthodox rabbis, who control Israeli religious institutions, argued the women break regulations forbidding religious ceremonies that go against "local custom."
The Justice Ministry said that Attorney General Ye-huda Weinstein would not appeal.
In another victory for liberal Judaism, Israel's prime minister has signaled he will support a new, mixed-gender prayer area at the site.
Pope to visit Rio slum for World Youth Day
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis will visit one of Rio de Janeiro's favelas, or slums, during his weeklong visit to Brazil for World Youth Day, his first foreign trip as pontiff.
The Vatican released Francis' itinerary for the July 22-29 trip to the world's largest Roman Catholic country. It includes a meeting with prisoners and a visit to a Rio hospital as well as events linked to the Catholic Church's youth festival.
Francis, 76, will remain mostly in Rio but will make a daylong side trip to Aparacida to pray at the shrine to the Virgin Mary.
He will also visit the Varginha favela, north of Rio, and deliver a speech.
As archbishop of Buenos Aires, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio often worked and preached in the capital's slums.

Being chronically stressed can be a killer. High levels of stress have been associated with weight gain, high blood pressure, and even heart disease. So how can you stop the stress? One easy way is to look away from your computer screen.
Whether it's the top fifty or something a little more sophisticated like Mozart, the music you listen to can do more than relieve stress. It can also ease pain and fight addiction.

Fabulous Fiction Firsts #8 (of a new series)
If you liked Twilight, I have another one for you.
Down-under novelist Keri Arthur gives us a sexy, supernatural tale in Full Moon Rising in which Riley Jenson, a rare hybrid of vampire and werewolf must find her missing twin brother Rhoan, to prevent some shifty cloning that could spell doom for humans as well as the supernatural races.
Standing in her way is her werewolf vulnerability to the moon heat when her need to mate becomes all-consuming, and the object of her desire who might just be the enemy. Couldn't put this one down either. Reviews.

Carnival of WIJF: Crazy for Christmas
Has everyone visited Charles of Two Conservatives recently?
He has produced what appears to be the mother of all home Christmas light shows. Amazing.
I wrap some lights around a bush and the post on our front porch and crash on the couch for the remainder of the winter. After seeing what this nut has accomplished, I don't know whether to be awed, or shamed. I guess the only proper response is to feel both. This may require a pilgrimage to Manassas.

You should certainly not be "shamed". Each person does what brings them joy, and for me it's apparently ensuring that Dominion Power ends up in the black.
My wife likes the lights, it cheers her up, and that's what matters to me. Although I enjoy other people enjoying the lights as well.
On another note, the Bull Run Park christmas light drive-thru is back this year (last year it was cancelled), it's a new company so I don't know what it will be like but if you like lights, it was always fun to drive through before.
Also, the Mormon Temple (off the beltway in Maryland, where once someone had written "Surrender Dorothy" on the overpass) is supposed to have a brilliant light display, along with a living nativity, and almost nightly choral and other presentations. I'm not a mormon, but each year I think about going to see this -- I've never made it, but maybe this year.
Surrender Dorothy! Was I the only one that thought that was hilarious? I'm chuckling now just thinking about it. I've never been to the Christmas display. I dont think they let non-mormons in, do they?
Re: the light show at Bull Run Regional Park. We were thoroughly UNimpressed with the display this year. Save your money and drive around the neighborhoods in your area.
Kevin, anybody can tour the grounds and see the sights. I can't tell you waht the rules are with the temple itself, but the performances are open to the public.
Thanks for the warning, PJ, but kids will not be deterred by a negative report, so I'll be driving through the lights myself after Christmas with a full carload. We'll have fun no matter how sucky the lights are.
Tomorrow night is our first "drive around town" night, we usually do two or three.
The best lights in the Manassas area? Try driving around the old part of Manassas Park! Wonderfully tacky displays all over the place.
Beats the heck out of all the snotty nosed developments!

Steve Jobs on Mock Turtlenecks and Jeans. Steve Jobs was famous for his wardrobe of black mock turtlenecks and Levi's 501 jeans, but the story of what inspired him to adopt the basic but unique uniform has never really been revealed in detail.
Gawker now shares an excerpt from Walter Isaacson's upcoming biography of Jobs, revealing the history behind the wardrobe choice. According to Isaacson, the idea of a corporate uniform first came to Jobs on a visit to Sony's facilities in Japan, where he was struck by the way uniforms for employees helped create an identity bonding them to the company. Remembering Steve Jobs Around The World - Photo Essays. Text of Steve Jobs' Commencement address (2005) Video of the Commencement address. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college.

About FDA
Drug Safety Oversight Board Meeting, July 19, 2012
Public Summary
The DSB discussed three topics:
- Update to Commercial Web Sites Accessing and/or Offering FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) Data
- CDER's Evaluation of Drug Safety Communications
- Introduction of Clozapine Registries for Future Board Input
Views expressed by non-CDER employees are those of the individual and not necessarily the opinion of their respective federal agency or institution.
Update to Commercial Web Sites Accessing and/or Offering FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (AERS) Data
At the March 2012 DSB meeting, Board members requested additional information regarding commercial purveyors of FDA's Adverse Event (AE) safety data. Dr. Lauren Choi from the Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology's Division of Pharmacovigilance (DPV) returned to update DSB members of information collected from stakeholders since her previous presentation. At this meeting, the presenter outlined findings from vendor interviews, summarized current searchable AE databases, and discussed potential next steps for the Agency to meet online and social media demands.
CDER's Evaluation of Drug Safety Communications: Risk Communication Research: What Have We Learned?
The DSB heard a presentation from Greg Busse, Ph.D., CDER Office of Communications. Dr. Busse continued in what has been a series of discussions about how CDER communicates drug safety information—through what channels, to what effect both before and after issue of a Drug Safety Communication (DSC), and in what directions CDER should move in maintaining and/or improving effectiveness of its safety information dissemination.
Drug Registries
The DSB heard from Kimberly Lehrfeld, PharmD, of the Division of Risk Management within CDER's Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology. She discussed drug and patient registries and the history behind risk mitigation efforts as related to registries. The Board discussed the benefits of registries in reducing morbidity and mortality through effective post-market surveillance.

FBI stands behind agent accused of perjury in case vs. Arizona attorney general
PHOENIX -- The FBI said it stands behind an agent accused of perjury.
Lawyers for Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne and a Horne associate last week alleged that FBI agent Brian Grehoski lied during testimony in a hearing on campaign finance allegations against Horne and the associate.
FBI spokesman Manuel Johnson responded by saying investigations involving public officials are difficult and that the agency's Phoenix division stands "firmly behind" Grehoski.
Johnson also said he's not aware of any internal investigation against Grehoski.
Yavapai County prosecutors who are handling the campaign finance case also have defended Grehoski, saying the agent would not lie and there's no evidence he did.
Lawyers for Horne and the associate contended that Grehoski's testimony was contradicted by phone records, an audio reporting and another person's testimony.

Oregon Bills Easing Marijuana Penalties Become Law
Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber (D) Monday signed into law two measures that will reduce the punishments for certain marijuana-related offenses. The changes go into effect immediately.
The first, Senate Bill 40, lowers the penalties for possession of more than an ounce of pot. Under the old laws, possession of more than four ounces was a Class B felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Now, it becomes a Class B felony, punishable by up to five years in prison. Similarly, possession of between one and four ounces was a Class B felony; now, it becomes a Class B misdemeanor punishable by up to six months.
SB 40 also reduces the penalties for marijuana cultivation. Unlawful manufacture was a Class A felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison; now, it becomes a Class B felony dropping the maximum sentence by half.
Possession of less than an ounce of pot is decriminalized in Oregon, but people cited for possession also faced a mandatory suspension of driving privileges unless there were "compelling circumstances" not do. Senate Bill 82 eliminates that suspension. It does not, however, lift the mandatory suspension of driving privileges for people caught with more than an ounce.
Oregon is likely to be one of the next states to attempt to legalize marijuana outright. An underfunded initiative there in 2012 got 47% of the vote, and efforts to get a new initiative (or initiatives) on the ballot for 2014 have already been announced.

I would say there certainly are some dumb asses in Oregon's congress. These reductions in penalties would seem to still ruin a lot of people's lives, especially the penalties for cultivation. What bullshit.
you must be slightly
you must be slightly st00pid.
reduction in penalties in a state expected to fully legalize, and you complain?
really? sorry then lets RAISE the penalties and see how ya feel.
Just going to complain untill its fully legal everywhere in all circumstances? keep dreaming.
One step at a time. Enjoy
One step at a time. Enjoy each victory however small and move on to the next. Keep up the good work.
PROHIBITION came out of bullshit-what else do you expect from bullies who support it?

Football League chairman Greg Clarke claims "tens" of clubs in the bottom three tiers of English football are struggling to find money to stay alive.
The Championship have voted to introduce a new set of financial fair play regulations in an attempt to stop the kind of crisis which has engulfed Portsmouth, who, according to Clarke, face the "distinct possibility" of going into liquidation this summer.
"I spend a lot of my time in discussions with chairmen and they say it's getting harder and harder to run a club," Clarke told a press conference in London.

The hotel is a small 3* Mercure - less than one Mercure know. It is located in Schwabing, a few metro stops from the center of Munich away. The room is relatively small but nicely decorated and comfortable. Flat screen tv, coffee making facilities and free wi-fi are available. My room was on the back side and was very quiet. The breakfast is extensive and tasty - only unfortunately, there was no white sausages. Since the hotel is small, was quite a cosy atmosphere in the breakfast room, the larger hotel with the corresponding olympik not have. As accor status ... customer i got a welcome drink at the bar. The staff was very friendly and competent. The price is for the expensive Munich very affordable. i have felt myself very well. read hotel review

Very nice 3 star hotel in Schwabing. We were only there for one night, but i would recommend this hotel unreservedly. We paid 56 Euro for a night in a superior room. For the night drink is the bar to be recommended (6,80 Euro for the cocktail) the bed was not large but adequate. Mini bar was well stocked. Breakfast is available for 14 Euro. The we did not test however. read hotel review

I was spontaneously, because of the reasonable rate, in the Mercure Hotel and am in the afternoon booking arrived. The hotel is very small and with nooks and crannies. After a friendly check-in i had my luggage in the 4. floor as the only elevator by the cleaning crew was occupied. The room is clean and suitable for short stays. The bathroom is very small, you can hardly smooth. The prices the mini bar was very good, a beer costs 3 Euro, there one pays also sometimes considerably more. The breakfast is sufficient, as criticism there not enough choice at ... rolls, i counted: 8 different types of bread rolls, 2 sorts of bread and cakes. Absolutely sufficient. read hotel review

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 10/18/12
The New York Giants secondary should know that Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Morgan feels their pain. Morgan can relate first-hand to the injuries that all four of New York's starters (cornerbacks Prince Amukamara and Corey Webster and safeties Antrel Rolle and Kenny Phillips) have battled through so far this season. Morgan told FOXSports.com that he himself is dealing with an undisclosed issue entering the FOX America's Game of the Week against the host Giants (1 p.m. Sunday ET). Already trying to return from a broken leg suffered last season with San Francisco, Morgan strained his left hamstring during the preseason. He didn't appear on Washington's injury report Wednesday or Thursday, but that may be because the Redskins believe there is no question Morgan will be able to play against the Giants as opposed to the need to designate him as probable (75 percent likelihood of playing), questionable (50) or doubtful (25) under NFL guidelines.

terms related to wakefulness and NUVIGIL.
*Limitations apply.
Below are additional resources that you may find helpful. Please note that these

NUVIGIL® (armodafinil) Tablets [C-IV] is a prescription medicine
used to improve wakefulness in adults who experience excessive sleepiness due to
one of the following diagnosed sleep disorders: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), shift
work disorder (SWD), or narcolepsy.
In patients with OSA, NUVIGIL is used along with other medical treatments for this
sleep disorder. NUVIGIL is not a replacement for your current OSA treatment, and
it is important that you continue to use this treatment as prescribed by your doctor.
NUVIGIL may help the sleepiness caused by these conditions, but it may not stop
all of your sleepiness and does not take the place of sleep.
NUVIGIL is a federally controlled substance (C-IV), so use NUVIGIL only as directed
and keep in a safe place to prevent misuse and abuse. It is against the law to sell
or give NUVIGIL to another person.
You are encouraged to report side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit
call 1-800-FDA-1088, or by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178.
For more information, ask your doctor or call 1-800-896-5855.
This information does not take the place of talking with your doctor for medical
advice about your condition or treatment.

There is a registry for women who become pregnant during treatment with NUVIGIL.
The purpose of this registry is to collect information about the safety of NUVIGIL
during pregnancy. You or your doctor can get information and enroll you in the registry

About Facilities Design & Construction Services
As part of the Facilities Design and Construction Services
group, the OFPC engineering
staff provides technical
consulting service to the fifteen (15) academic and healthcare institutions of The University of Texas System for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. The primary mission of the engineering staff groups is to provide these technical and engineering consulting services through quality assurance reviews which ensure UT's CIP projects are regulatory and code compliant. Reviews are conducted in cooperation with each institution and the Architectural / Engineering (A/E) or Contractor design team during the Programming, Schematic Design, Design Development & Construction Document processes.
The two engineering staff groups, Building Envelope and Building Systems, collaborate to achieve functional excellence through program and process improvements, defining the most appropriate building systems and achieving economies of scale. The Building Envelope Group provides project support for the structural, building enclosure (roofing, waterproofing, cladding), civil site, and landscaping design of a facility. The Building Systems Group provides project support to the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and system controls design of a facility.
The engineering staff develops and maintains technical design guidelines for OFPC and institution use for the project program requirements. Technical construction support is provided when requested by OFPC field personnel. Consultation and participation in special institution studies, are provided upon request by the institution.
The Construction Services group assists in monitoring of the building commissioning process and the project safety program. Monitoring of the commissioning process occurs during the initial design, construction and acceptance project phases.

What do you do if your boyfriend doesn't answer his phone?
So I'm not a clingy (sp?) person, but it really bothers me that my boyfriend doesn't answer his phone sometimes...it doesn't bother me all the time... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
First, lots of guys dislike talking on the phone. Or at least, we don't like it as much as girls do. So there's a good chance that phones make him cringe a bit.
Second, if you leave a message, this guy might need a bit more time than you would to figure out what to say, and how to say it. Remember that guys often don't have the same level of verbal skill as girls, and we often get really, really *really* tired of talking, even with people we're madly in love with. So be patient with guys in general about verbal communication -- because I guarantee some guys have been patient with you when it came to stuff that's not your natural skill.
Third, this guy has a life, too, and it doesn't revolve around you every minute of the day. If he's at work, in class, playing basketball, watching a movie, taking a nap or just enjoying some solitude, he has every right to postpone the call until a better time. It doesn't mean he's disrespecting you or ignoring you. It means he has the right to prioritize his life. Depending on the type of call, I don't always expect a reply the same *day* I leave a message.
Fourth, learn to live without your phone. Girls can get addicted to their phones, and place too much importance on it. Turn off your phone occasionally. Leave it in a desk drawer for a few hours. Leave it in the car when you're at work or at school. I suspect one reason this issue bothers you is because you call him, leave a message, then stare at your phone the rest of the day making yourself dizzy: "Why hasn't he called? What's going on? Did I say something wrong? Is he mad at me? Does he disrespect me? Argh!" If this is you, stop giving a little electronic device so much power over your mind. Use your phone *only* when making a call, and check your messages only 2-3 times a day.
Fifth, if you expect him to *always* answer his phone when he doesn't want to, and you're pressing him into promises he'd rather not make, you're being unfair, disrespecting him, and not validating his opinions. You're pushing him away, and you're weakening the relationship. Nagging like that makes me want to break up with a girl. Seriously. I can really like her, but if she's on my case about why-didn't-you-call-me? I want to bail out, and *fast* because I know it'll get worse, and I don't want to hear why-didn't-you-call-me? for the next 40 years.
Thank you so much for the advice it really helped me! I know better than to nag, so I don't when I do talk to him I just talk like normal.
What Guys Said 1
What Girls Said 2
Honestly? I wouldn't care. As long as he calls me back in a few hours than it's fine. If he's at work than I can understand not calling back even longer than a few hours. No big deal. Now if a couple of days go by and he doesn't call back then I would not be so happy. How long have you been dating him?
The thing tough is he never calls me back, He even promised me he would and he didnt. We have been dating for about 3 months but we were really good friends before we sarted dating.
this is very common. every guy I have ever known and been even remotely close with has been kinda like this...some more then otheres.
give the guy a break...unless you have other reasons to be untrusting of him.
he probably does not do it on purpose and guys aren't as "phone happy" as girls are.
if it really bothers you then tell him that you LOOOOVE it when he calls you when he says he is going to call you...sometimes that helps...but seriously try not to worry about it too much...afterall it seems to be common.
Have an opinion?

He said the Government would continue to improve the business operating environment through a number of incentives.
"We are facilitators and there is no turning back. The Government is embracing ICT, giving out subsidies besides other mechanisms to bring down the cost of doing business in the country," he said.
He asked financial institutions to not only embrace the latest technology, but also support investments in the information technology sector.
"The internet is gradually reshaping the banking industry. The completion of laying the fibre optic technology in the country would revolutionise the sector," said Kimunya.
Citing the example of the Nairobi Stock Exchange, Kimunya said, the bourse was far ahead of the banking sector in terms of technology and was now at par with other market powerhouses like the New York Stock Exchange.
The minister was addressing chief executives of different banks on "ICT, Banks and Vision 2030" yesterday at a Nairobi hotel.
Treasury PS Mr Joseph Kinyua said tourism, agriculture, trade, business processing opportunities and financial services would play a pivotal role towards the attainment of the Vision 2030 goals.
Information and Communication PS Dr Bitange Ndemo said the process of laying the fibre optic technology was on course. He said investors had pitched camp in the country to embark on supply of ICT services once the cable laying process is complete.

CNET members share their thoughts on LED bulbs.
The landscape of lighting is changing rapidly. Here's everything you'll need to know to keep up.
Got a shattered CFL on your hands? Worried about mercury? Don't panic -- we'll show you how to clean it up safely and dispose of it responsibly.
These bulbs promise a professional level of color accuracy -- but which one do you want?
Originally designed to meet efficiency and color quality standards specific to California, the TW Series LEDs will now be sold throughout the US.
Six out of 10 consumers are unaware that the most commonly used light bulbs are about to disappear from store shelves.
With new, stricter efficiency standards almost upon us, it's time to think differently about your lights. Here's why you should feel fine.
The quest for the world's most energy-efficient lightbulb has resulted in a Kickstarter project for an LED bulb with a striking design.
Cree's latest LED light source slices the cost, but it's betting that features such as better controls and long life give LEDs an edge over other technologies.

Thank you Henry and Hempstah,
It looks like I will be picking up the Ultra 5 as long as I can figure out
a way to pay for it. I was thinking of putting either debian or RedHat on
it (I prefer debian, but companies using Linux on Sun boxes would most
likely use RedHat).
Henry, I do not know if I will be bringing the box home in time for the
15th installfest, if I do, does LUGOD have any distro's for the sparc or
will I need to get a copy?

Can* English Voice Acting ruins Characters in RPGs?
March 27, 2007, 06:54:27 PM »
So, I've finally forced myself to play past the very beggining of FFXII, and I've gotten to the part where you meet Fran for the first time. My jaw dropped when she spoke, she sounded just whiny and horrible. Every time she talks I cringe. Perhaps it wouldnt have been as bad if I didnt watch the Japanese trailer for the game ages ago, where it had Fran speaking in a deep, sultry voice, one that more suited her looks. Then I hear her in the English dub and she sounds like.. well.. just bad. Just... bad.
The British accents were a bit odd but fitting, I figured the Arcadians had them since most of the Dalmascans sound more American, but then I heard Fran and my heart just sank a bit. I just couldnt take the game seriously so I saved and turned it off.
I am nitpicky but these things are kind of important to me, since Japanese RPGs lean so heavily on characters and plot. I'm not a Japanophile either, since the last game I played, Baten Kaitos, had bad voice acting quality, yet the voices fit the characters so well it wasn't so noticable. But this is just too far.
I thank my lucky starts that Blue Dragon will have Japanese Voice acting included. I also hope Dragon Quest 8 is a bit easier on the ears, I might start playing that instead of FF12. :(

I never found it that big of a deal. I'd prefer Japanese voice acting over crappy, English dubs because I can't tell bad Japanese voice acting from good. It all sounds fine to me.

I'll take the shittiest dub over the best Japanese voice acting because:
1. I hate all things that smack of Japanese popular culture. It's hard to have a culture without a language, so it counts. :P
2. Chittering away in a language I can't understand only serves as a distraction. It certainly does nothing to draw me into a game. If I had to choose between hearing nothing and hearing Kamehakaneko-sama say konnichiwa to Reikikuliku-chan, I'd definitely pick nothing.

I'd rather have no voice-acting than bad voice-acting (in English). It doesn't ruin a game, or its characters, for me, by any means, but... I prefer the option to turn it off.
Like Fadedsun, I can't tell good from bad in Japanese, because I don't understand the language and its inflections well enough to do so. I do like the way Japanese sounds, but it might become distracting to play a game where the characters were talking in Japanese while I tried to read captions/subtitles in English. If I did particularly like a character, and found I preferred their Japanese voice, it would be nice if more games offered that option.

I've never been turned off a game for shoddy voices. I find them amusing (if not funny) rather.
Still, more than any complain about voices...
I get commentary from on-lookers or listen-inner's who are wondering and making fun of why I am playing a game in a foreign language, and immitating some of the high-pitches or screams.
Gay dialogue.
AKA Kingdom Hearts rambling about how "friendship is our strength and keeps us together" is no better than some children's program preaching the same thing. Its kinda embarassing. =)
My main beef is content rather than presentation.

I distinctly remember Magic Knight Rayearth for the Saturn making me want to cut someone in the worst way possible, so I'm going to have to say yes, though for the most part English voiceovers are good enough now that it isn't really an issue.
I might have liked Grandia more if it wasn't acted by what I called janitors.
Even worse (better?) example was Dark Wizard. Awesome game. Too bad the voice acting was reaaally bad. Fortunately there wasn't a lot of it, unlike say Grandia.

It's just like watching a foreign film with subtitles. I just prefer the content in it's original form I guess. Just the whole dubbing and twisting the dialogue to match their lips thing, plus most RPG voice acting that gets localized is done by people reading scripts, and not people reading their lines with each other in a studio.

Although it seems it takes a lot to REALLY bug me with actual voice acting, I agree with Fadedsun. However, I do think that the overall move to using lots of voice acting and cinematics could actually be harmful for RPGs to some degree. I'd probably be able to tolerate cheesy scenes better if they weren't being acted out or at least voiced, although the right flavor of cheese could just be hilarious as hell. Plus it winds up taking up more of the budget/time that could go for other things like refining the game or making it larger.
I dunno. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the results and feel they really helped for some games. But I don't need it in all of them, and I think I'd tolerate some of them more if they just shut the fuck up.

Yeah, some of the worst moments in games can be sheer excess of irrelevant, uninteresting dialogue. The thing is, I've seen it happen in games without voice acting almost as much as I've seen it happen in games with voice acting (one of the worst offenders has GOT to be the Golden Sun games, where almost every bit of dialogue was mind-numbingly boring...almost to the point of being psychologically unbearable). It all comes down to this: with regard to overall impact on a game, bad writing is far more damaging than bad acting in almost all cases. Even a poor translation of interesting writing is preferable (IMHO) to a great translation of dull writing (Compare FFT to, well, Golden Sun for example; the first is so badly translated as to stagger the mind, but the CONTENT of the writing shines through the garbled English, whereas the second translates the original Japanese competently, but there is simply no "'there' there."*).

I've been playing through Atelier Iris 1 recently, and I tried out both the English dub and Japanese voice track, to see which I prefer more, and I found out, in the long run, the Japanese voices suited my ears more. Reason I say that, because of the context in which the voice acting is being conducted in a cutesy series like the Atelier series.
I suppose it all depends on the RPG we're talking about. If it's a dark and serious game, then that's a whole other discussion. I tend to shoot for Japanese voice acting in fluffy-feeling RPGs.
In the long run, I agree with some here that I would rather play through a voiceless RPG. I pay attention to plot and gameplay, mostly, so voice acting isn't important.

i thought the voice for fran was quite apropiate. maybee you need to get some and um.. you know actually hear a black woman speak. there was many things i hated about ffxii but the voice acting isnt one of them. for the record i hated fran but her voice wasnt even close to the reason.
Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from.

I think this is also one of the reasons for liking japanese versions of games(And anime) better. It's not so much it being better, but it masks how silly what you're watching/playing is and holds suspension of disbelief better.
Though that's not so much the case with FFXII, which wasn't poorly written. I didn't find Fran's voice to be annoying or anything, but I wouldn't say it was well done either. She sounded..I don't know. Bored? Timid? Not really fitting for a sultry bunny girl. Now if FFXIII has a librarian joining your party then nab that actress back up :P

I've seen a lot of people complain about Fran's English voice, but I quite never understood the complaints. I think she sounded fine most of the time.
As for if bad VA can ruin characters or a game - yes, it most certainly can. Take Magna Carta for an example. Sure, the game is not very good overall, but the truly
voice acting propels it to a level of craptasticity that ensures that I'm never again going to play it. The same goes for Rogue Galaxy. I'm still only on the god damn jungle planet and I just don't want to keep playing because I fear I might run into another idiotic inventor character what one of those annoying fucking voices.
But on the other hand, good voice acting can also improve a game. Case on point - Digital Devil Saga. Would I have liked the game(s) as much if they had bad voice acting, or no VA at all? Possibly, but some of the emotional impact of the story would most certainly have been lost. I do, in general, prefer Japanese voice acting over English (living in a country were
is subtitled rather than dubbed I don't have any problems at all listening to things in another language), but I know I'm in a minority so I just accept the fact that most games are going to released with English only VA.

Yes, voice acting can ruin a character for me. Not because the acting is bad, but because it's *too* typical. How many games have I been annoyed at because the "cute" girl had an annoyingly squeaky voice? Or because the main hero is trying to emulate Lion-O in every possible way?
I don't know about you guys, but I'm one of those fans who wishes that english VAs would NOT try to parrot every little inflection their japanese counterpart does. It does not sound natural and 8/10 times, it just sounds way too awkward. I'd rather the VA does things naturally, while still remaining true to that character. And yes, it CAN be done, I don't care what kind of game it is, dammit!

On the Fran issue: It may just be that you have expectations you need to put aside to get a more objective opinion of her voice. I found it rather attractive in its own way. Was it sultry? No. But for me it added a bit of an exotic touch, which is what Fran's all about. It's as though she's speaking English well enough, but like some first generationeers, there's still a hint of accent. I found that pretty cool.
Bad voice acting on a whole doesn't necessarily break a game, but I always appreciate the option to turn it off. The issue of course is what's more fitting. Something that transcends language is the mood conveyed by the character. If the tone is too flat or reserved in a dramatic scene, no matter what language you're speaking, it's going to ruin the delivery. But then, voice acting has reached a good standard these days, so I don't find much to complain about.

A char pointer is a pointer... it occupies four bytes, and must be
initialized to point at something. It does not end in '\0' (that is like
saying one of the squares in a quilt is a sphere), but the memory it
points to may.
A char array has a name, and that name can "decay" into a pointer to the
beginning of that array.
How about something like:
char *GetCPUType( const char *file )
static char buf[ BUFFERSZ ];
/* fill up buf */
return buf;
but beware of:
char *GetCPUType( const char *file )
char buf[ BUFFERSZ ]; /* on stack */
/* fill up buf */
return buf;
/* memory allocated on stack for buf disappears,
leaving dangling pointer */

Very please with the service and his availabilty. Outstanding Service. The project was top notch it turned out great!" Thank you
Fayetteville, NC
This was a first class experience with this particular Heating and A/C dealer who I found through Service Magic. In the 10+ years of living in Fayetteville, this was - by far - the most honest, reputable, and professional business that I've hired to do work within my home. Their services were not cheap, but the quality was simply outstanding. Michael Green is an expert on listening to and assessing a home's energy needs and goals. We settled on a 4 ton York unit for our home. Work began on Tuesday, and they were finished on Friday evening. These guys were knowledgeable, considerate, and focused on the task. Yes, I will use them again.

Thalasseus elegans
IUCN Conservation Status: Near Threatened
Steve Zamek
A medium-sized tern with a shaggy crest and a long, slightly drooping orange bill, the Elegant Tern is seen along the Pacific Coast. After nesting in very southern California and Mexico, it wanders northward to northern California, or even to British Columbia.
Coastal waters, occasionally ocean far from land. Breeds on low, flat, sandy islands.
Small fish. Some invertebrates.
Flies over water with bill pointing down; plunges into water to catch fish.
More widespread and abundant in southern Gulf of California in the past; now nests mostly on one island, Isla Rasa, Mexico. Rapidly expanding population in California. Present limited distribution, and annual fluctuations at some colonies, are due at least in part to deleterious effects of humans and feral animals.

We are all guilty of glancing at photographs, of whizzing through endless slideshows, of clicking and dragging images for a rainy day that never comes. But Annette Kelm's work not meant for this kind of treatment. Dealing with time, narrative and history and often displayed in large batches, her constructed images are formed in order for them to be stared at, fully absorbed and interpreted. One of her most well-known photographic collections is inspired by the faux farm that Marie Antoinette had built at Versailles, and the real farm nearby that supplied the tools to keep it alive. Her photographs are currently on display at Johann Konig in Berlin.
