Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. A little Uncharted magic may end up in the next Call of Duty game from Infinity Ward. The Activision studio responsible for Call of Duty: Ghosts and the Modern Warfare series just hired a pair of top teammebers from Uncharted and The Last of Us studio Naughty Dog. Jacob Minkoff leaves his position as lead designer to take on his new role as design director at Infinity Ward. Taylor Kurosaki, who oversaw narrative design at the Uncharted studio, is now narrative director at Infinity Ward. This comes as the Call of Duty franchise is on a slight decline. We've reached out to Naughty Dog and Infinity Ward for a statement, and we'll update with any new information. Kurosaki spent the last 10 years at Naughty Dog. He was a part of the studio when it had fewer than 10 employees. The Last of Us and the Uncharted games are all well-regarded for their storytelling, and it's likely that Activision and Infinity Ward want some more of that in their marquee shooter franchise. Very psyched to share that I've joined the phenomenal team at @InfinityWard as the studio's narrative director. To infinity and beyond! — Taylor Kurosaki (@taylorkurosaki) August 1, 2014 Minkoff started at Naughty Dog in 2009 as a game designer. He worked his way up to eventually oversee a team of developers working underneath him. Naughty Dog's games are also beloved for their action and gameplay. New job! Design Director at Infinity Ward. Love ND; can't wait to play Uncharted 4 as a fan. Excited to work with the talented team at IW! — Jacob Minkoff (@JacobMinkoff) August 1, 2014 Both Minkoff and Kurosaki went right from Naughty Dog to Infinity Ward with no lapse in employment, according to their Linkedin profiles. We've asked the pair what was behind their decision to move on. Infinity Ward is responsible for the most-recent Call of Duty. Ghosts debuted in November, but it has failed to sell as well as developer Treyarch's Black Ops II. This year, for the first time since 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, analysts are predicting that the upcoming entry in the series, Advanced Warfare from Sledgehammer, won't end the year as the best-selling shooter. It will instead fall behind the Activision-published Destiny from Halo creator Bungie. Minkoff and Kurosaki will likely have until November 2016 to bring its new Call of Duty together, which when we'll get to see if they'll add anything new or exciting to the aging megafranchise.

I feel like I'm the best all-around second baseman in baseball. If you don't think you're the best, why go out and play this game?

We were in the hallway so she didn't go into too much detail. It's sounds like it's on the surface. She got refitted. She's been EPing almost since the birth of her child (super duper preemie) so 8 months.
these were a lifesaver for me:

Could be nipple vasospasms or Raynaud's of the nipple. What are the symptoms?
1-Extreme burning pain, the kind of pain that has you crying hysterically, wakes you up at night, doesn't respond to Tylenol, and makes you wish you could take drugs, drink alcohol, or knock your head against a wall until you find oblivion.
2-Extremely hard, puckered nipples and areolae, as if you'd been exposed to intense cold.
3-A blanching (whitening) of the tips of the nipples.
4-The areolae turn a very dark reddish, purplish, or bluish hue.
5-The edges of the aureolae sometimes turn a bright, angry red.
6-The pain lasts anywhere from just minutes, to over an hour.
For pregnant women, there isn't a lot to be done except warm compresses, hot showers, avoidance of caffeine and other vasoconstrictors, and bumping up on your niacin supplement. If you're not pregnant, there is a drug called Nifedipine that usually works within days, and requires no more than 6 weeks at a low dosage to prevent recurrance.
You can find more information on the La Leche League website. This can happen to all women, not just pregnant/nursing ones.
Pregnant for the first time at 43. Surprise!

While in the second phase, they will tour Sargodha, Faisalabad and Lahore from Feb 17 to 19. Smaller cars can mean higher insurance rates when gas prices went up to $3-per-gallon (and beyond) over the last couple of years, many consumers began clamoring to get out of their big gas-guzzling SUVs and sedans, flocking to smaller cars that delivered better fuel economy. But even before gas prices dropped to the $1.60 range in November; those new small-car buyers discovered a hitch in their plan to save money: insurance premiums for smaller cars are typically higher than for larger vehicles. This has been true for decades, but so many drivers had been motoring around in SUVs, pick-up trucks and big sedans for so long that this fact probably slipped their memories. "Small cars are just more likely to get into crashes, because of how they are driven -- they are more likely to be used in longer commutes than a minivan or SUV, for example," said Kim Hazelbaker, senior vice president of the Highway Loss Data Institute, a group supported by auto-insurance companies that studies insurance data and costs. "That translates into higher premiums. And since smaller cars don't protect the occupants as well as larger vehicles, the cost of injuries to those occupants is higher as well. And that also contributes to more expensive premiums."Of course, many of those who migrated out of big vehicles went the hybrid route. However, figures reveal that hybrids are also more costly to insure than their non-hybrid equivalents."We did a study comparing the hybrids to their non-hybrid counterparts -- like, the Honda Civic hybrid compared to the non-hybrid Civic, etcetera -- and we found that the hybrids are not only more likely to be in crashes, but they cost more to repair," Hazelbaker said. AOL Autos: Honda Civic The reason hybrids are more likely to be in crashes, Hazelbaker said, is similar to the reason that smaller cars are more likely to be involved in accidents. SRK to undergo surgery on Valentine-day While people plan romantic dates, long drives and passionate night-out on Valentine's day our SRK has decided to go under the knife for his shoulder surgery on Valentine's day.He says, ―I usually don't do anything on Valentine's Day, so I'd like to get my surgery done then. It's just that there's so much work – I can't afford to be lying flat on a hospital bed for a month. I do need this surgery, but once my movie Billu Barber is placed well, I'll have more time.‖During the same interview, SRK at his candid best, said the following to a female reporter, ―For you, darling, I can remove my jacket and even my shirt! However, I don't have anything written across my chest.‖ When asked who was the dig aimed at, he said, ―I'm not taking a dig at him or anyone else. It was just a joke. He(Aamir) does it too. There are certain things that others say in public, though, and I don't like it. So I guess I'll meet him soon and have a talk with him.‖ Amitabh with Al Pacino? Amitabh is the legendary actor from Bollywood, so is Al Pacino from Hollywood, what happens when both the legends come together on screen - BOOM! - a dhamaka! Well that's what Firoz Nadiadwala is planning for his next Bollywood flick.Firoz has already signed director Rob Cohen, famous for his movies like Fast and the Furious and The Mummy 3 to direct his 300 crore dream flick - Jewel of India.Firoz is keen on signing Al Pacino or Robert De Niro and for females he is reviewing beauties like Monica Belluci, Eva Mendes and Cameron Diaz. The Indian touch to the flick will be added by Katrina Kaif and Amitabh Bachchan.Jewel of India is story revolving around a student, who makes a shocking discovery about the Kohinoor diamond being fake which is located in the Tower of London and goes on to search the real diamond which is in close proximity of India. Salman Khan in no mood to slash his price The country is gripped by recession and many films are being shelved because of budgeting woes and add to that our Sallu Bhai's refusal to slash his price resulted in shelving of another flick. T-Series had signed Sallu for an Anees Bazmee flick for an amount of 50 crore. However when the recession blues hit Bhushan Kumar, the boss of T-Series, he asked Sallu to reduce his price. Sallu slashed his price by 10crores, but Bhushan wanted him to reduce even more, that's when Salman refused the movie altogether. Now the flick has been shelved until they are able to search for a replacement who demands less money. SRK has gifted his entire life to Gauri With Valentine's day coming nearer and nearer, Bollywood's hottest couple who have managed to hold their marriage strong even after so many years - SRK and Gauri have been on every paparazzi's mind. So when SRK was asked what is his gift to wifey Gauri on this Valentine's day and he said, ‗I have gifted my entire life to Gauri. She produces all my movies and only if the film does well, she accepts any gifts. If my movie flops, then she does not accept any gift. I feel ‗Billu Barber' is a beautiful film about relationships, love and friendship. I also have a good part in the film along with Irrfan Khan and Lara Dutta. If the film works well, my wife will accept a gift otherwise she will throw me out of the house.' Kareena-Saif to lock lips on-screen Real life couple, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan will be seen sharing a passionate smooching scene in Renzil D'Silva's untitled flick. A source connected to the movie says, ―Last week, Saif and Bebo shot for their kiss in a Chembur studio. The kiss is part of a song.‖Kareena who was last seen doing a smooch with ex-beau Shahid Kapoor in Jab We Met, was at quite ease with the scene, the source adds, "She even was seen calmly discussing the angle and the intensity with the director."However before the smooch was shot, Kareena was in two minds about the necessity of the kiss.Another source says, ―At one point it was discussed if the scene was necessary and it looked like the couple had their doubts about the screen smooch. Rensil looked unhappy and had a word with Saif.The director convinced him to do the scene. Saif in turn made Bebo understand that it was necessary and she agreed.‖The duo got the smooch perfect in five takes!!! Katrina wants a surprise from Sallu on Valentines Day In a recent interview Katrina Kaif revealed that she and Salman are busy on Valentine's day and she is expecting a surprise from him. Read below: Rumour has it that your relationship with Salman is headed for permanency. He's supposedly buying you a home on Valentine's Day? I must say that, according to media, Salman seems to be in some generous mood. He's supposed to be buying me a place; supposedly buying Asin a place… It's hilarious. Though the truth is, I don't think that he's buying any house — for her or me. What's your Valentine's Day plan? Any special event with Salman? Yes! Salman and I have plans on V-day. Unfortunately, not together. I'm shooting a song in Turkey with Rajkumar Santoshi; while Salman is shooting for Veer in northern India. Unless he plans to surprise me, of course! So do you think Salman is gonna surprise Katrina? Aamir And Shahrukh Finally Do A Film Together Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan are rivals since ages now and whenever we ask them if they'd do a film with each other they give very diplomatic answers and get away. But the time has come - they are starring in the same movie. Yes the movie is Zoya Akhtar's directorial debut Luck By Chance which stars Farhan Akhtar and Konkona Sen Sharma in the lead roles. Hrithik also plays an important role in the film. And just as we expect sparks to fly when Shahrukh and Aamir have a face off on screen. Zoya breaks our heart saying, ―They both are playing cameos and both are far apart. One has a scene with Farhan and the other has a scene with Konkana,‖ says Zoya Akhtar. Aamir's Ghajini To Break Shahrukh's DDLJ Record Aamir Khan's magnum opus Ghajini who took the nation by storm by earning a record 200 crore even when the world's economy is down in dumps is incredible. Ghajini is now on its way to break the box office records of all the highest Bollywood grossers Shahrukh Khan starring DDLJ and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. By the end of its run Ghajini would surely end up becoming the biggest domestic earner ever leaving behind DDLJ. ―Ghajini has earned Rs 2 billion ($41 million) in less than 2 weeks from its release. The film has grossed Rs 1.62 million in domestic markets and Rs 390 million have come from overseas markets till end of second week. The film is still running to packed houses and may cross more milestones.Ghajini, a film that introduced Asin to Hindi cinema opposite superstar Aamir, was released with 1,200 prints in the domestic market and in a lot of small towns where films are not often released in the first week. In the overseas market, it is now second only to Karan Johar's hit film Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham which collected Rs 440 million. If and when it beats KKKG, it would become all time biggest grosser in the history of Indian Cinema,‖ reports a source. Ghajini Makes a Record 200 Crores! Ghajini has become India's biggest hit by making 200 crores in a matter of 15 days only. The elated crew of Ghajini got together again to celebrate the grand success of the film. Ghajini To Be India's First 100 Crore Film Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini is all set to become India's first film to touch the 100 crore mark. The film is all set to break Singh is Kinng's opening record of 44 crores by collections estimated to 65 crores. Ghajini broke advanced booking records already and now trade pundits believe Ghajini will comfortable touch the 100 crore milestone till the release of superstar Akshay Kumar's Chandni Chowk To China on 16th January. Since there are two more weeks to go for the release of Chandni Chowk To China, Ghajini is expected to make another 40 crores and more. Even if it doesn't it will still touch the 100 crore mark before the film's run comes to an end.Aamir Khan has proved to the world that HE is definitely the Brand No. 1 in India. Terrorists Have No Religion: Aamir Khan Ever since the ghastly terror attack has taken over Mumbai, Aamir Khan is keeping himself updated over the issue and the scenes of blasts and the news of over hundred people dying have really rendered Aamir Khan heart-broken, angry and helpless. He poured his feelings over his blog writing,‖My heartfelt condolences to the families of persons killed and taken hostage. I was feeling sick in the stomach when the fire broke out at the Taj. What would the people caught inside be going through. The fire fighters were doing their best but my imagination was running wild and I was feeling helpless watching other people trapped in the rooms adjoining the fire.‖ Aamir also attacked the political parties kept condemning the ATS investigating the bomb blasts at Malegaon. Aamir says, ―My heartfelt condolences to the family of the brave officers of the Mumbai Police who lost their lives leading from the front to take on these terrorists. Especially Hemant Karkare of the ATS who in the recent past was being targeted by various political parties for the work that he was doing. When will these politicians realize and admit that terrorists HAVE NO RELIGION. Terrorists are not Hindu or Muslim or Christian. They are not people of religion or God. They are people who have gone totally sick in their head and have to be dealt with in that manner. Hemant Karkare is an example of a brave officer who gave his life in the line of duty.‖ Aamir further wrote, ―At this moment I pray that the brave officers of the Mumbai Police, the Indian Army, Navy, the NSG and the various other security forces dealing with the situation are able to end this crisis as soon as possible. If it had just been a matter of simply fighting the terrorists the security forces would have dealt with it sooner, but here of course the situation is extremely complicated with many innocent lives at stake. The fact that the locations are huge hotels with multiple floors, hundreds of rooms, many corridors, staff quarters, work spaces, entries, exits etc, and have innocent guests still in there, have made the task very difficult and delicate.‖ ―I dread to think of how various political parties are now going to try and use this tragedy to further their political careers.‖ he fears. ―At least now they should learn to not divide people and instead become responsible leaders. An incident such as this really exposes how ill-equipped we are as a society as far as proper leaders go. We desperately need young, dynamic, honest, intelligent and upright leaders, who actually care for the country,‖ cautions Aamir Khan. SRK will be really upset: Aamir Khan It's a matter of pride for Aamir Khan that Taare Zameen Par is his third movie that has made it to Oscars as India's official entry. So does that mean Aamir is the true Baadshah of Bollywood? "If Shah Rukh hears this, he's going to be really upset," Aamir said laughing.Ask him about the film's chances at the Oscars and he says, ―Whether we win an Oscar or not, we'll definitely make the jury members cry.‖ Smart answer.But why does he shun the awards back home in India? ―It's not a question of Indian or international. Just a few weeks ago, I went to pick a Kolhapuri Award at Chennai. I've been to the National Awards as well. So, it's inaccurate to say I shun Indian awards. As far as the Oscars are concerned, they're a platform that give you the opportunity of addressing a larger audience. When your film gets nominated for the Oscars, people who aren't familiar with Indian cinema go to the world cinema section at a DVD store and pick it up,‖ he explains. Point taken Aamir!

The only prob I could forsee was the ability to "adjust" the mirrors so that the bike "looked" right and you got decent rear vision....

The Midwest premiere of Weinberg's The Passenger is onstage at Lyric through March 15. The Chicago Tribune gives this production a perfect four stars and deems it "an experience in the theater that is not to be missed." Here is more critical praise for this haunting and powerful opera.
"A virtually flawless performance and [David] Pountney's definitive production justify the decision of Lyric general director Anthony Freud to bring 'The Passenger' to Chicago….If this is a harbinger of fresh directions at Freud's Lyric Opera, then bring them on, I say." - Chicago Tribune
"With a faultless large cast and striking and imaginative production, one can't imagine Weinberg's dark yet hopeful opera receiving stronger advocacy." - Chicago Classical Review
The Passenger is "a compelling opera that manages the nearly impossible task of shedding meaningful light on the horror of Auschwitz." - Chicago Sun-Times
"Pountney's staging sweeps us from present to past with the fluidity of film, using an ingenious unit set the late designer Johan Engels based on Medvedev's original concept." - Chicago Tribune
The Passenger "stunningly powerful" and a "tasteful testimony to the courage and heroism of the human spirit." - Chicago Critic
"stunning" - Chicago on the Aisle
Sir Andrew Davis "conducted with searing authority" - Chicago on the Aisle
"Davis harnesses the power and sensitivity of his instrumental forces to undergird the emotional trajectory of the work." - Chicago Tribune
"The crisp rhythmic definition and propulsive energy Davis brings to Weinberg's sometimes spiky, sometimes nostalgically jazzy orchestra reminds us he is as much a master of 20th century music as he is of Mozart and Strauss. He secures admirable work from the orchestra and the Michael Black-trained chorus, at the top of their game at the end of a demanding 60th anniversary season." - Chicago Tribune
"The level of scrupulous preparation was manifest in every bar, with Davis's acute balancing bringing out every quirky detail of the score from the haunting celesta tones to the sardonic xylophone writing." - Chicago Classical Review
"Lyric has assembled an impressive array of singers who managed to make every Auschwitz inmate and prison guard a vivid, individual character." - Chicago Sun-Times
"Amanda Majeski is already on a fast track to a major career, but as Marta, the former Ryan Opera Center member delivered a shattering, star-making performance. " - Chicago Classical Review
"Her ringing soprano glistened like Waterford crystal, combining transparent fragility with soulful strength." - Chicago Sun-Times
Amanda Majeski's "singing is pure, shining and true. She has done nothing finer at the company that launched her international career." - Chicago Tribune
"Mezzo-soprano Daveda Karanas, who last season sang Kundry in Wagner's Parsifal, is riveting as the panicked woman Liese" - Chicago on the Aisle
Karanas "delivered a superbly rounded performance, singing with a big tone and proved credible as both the frightened wife and scarily sadistic Auschwitz guard." - Chicago Classical Review
"The soft edges of Karanas's rich mezzo-soprano conveyed Liese's terror, but her tone became appropriately commanding in her scenes as a manipulative SS guard. " - Chicago Sun-Times
"With his powerful heldentenor Brandon Jovanovich brought daunting vocal strength to the somewhat thankless role of Walter, Liese's diplomat husband." - Chicago Classical Review
"A fine singer with real acting chops, Jovanovich is convincing as a mostly good guy, with a propped-up image of himself that he is keen to defend." - Chicago on the Aisle
"As Tadeusz, Marta's fiancé, Joshua Hopkins used his rich baritone to create a calm, moral center amid the madness of Auschwitz." -Chicago Sun-Times
"Notable among Marta's richly individualized community of barrack companions are soprano Kelly Kaduce as the tough-minded Russian freedom fighter Katya, who can't quite remember all the words to the old folk song her grandmother used to sing; dramatic soprano Nina Warren as a crazed older woman who's the only survivor from her group of arrivals, and mezzo-soprano Liuba Sokolova as determinedly faithful Bronka, who lights candles to God and insists He will not forget even the ones who have given themselves up utterly to the idea that they are forsaken." - Chicago on the Aisle

The Chicago premiere of Weinberg's The Passenger is on stage at Lyric from February 24 through March 15. Discover this poignant, gripping, and intimate 20th-century masterpiece, which portrays the story of the
Holocaust from the perspectives of both victim and perpetrator, through interviews with the cast and creative team, audio previews, and more.
The final opera of Lyric's 60th Anniversary season is the Chicago premiere of Mieczysław Weinberg's The Passenger, on stage from February 24 through March 15. This poignant and gripping 20th-century masterpiece portrays the story of the Holocaust from the perspectives of both victim and perpetrator, and was only recently rediscovered after more than 40 years of suppression.
In the early 1960s, Liese (Daveda Karanas) travels aboard an ocean liner bound for Brazil with her diplomat husband Walter (Brandon Jovanovich) while hiding a terrible secret: she was once an SS officer at Auschwitz. When she thinks she recognizes a fellow passenger as Marta (Amanda Majeski), one of her former inmates, she is forced to confront the truth about her past. The story moves back and forth from the ship to the camp, focusing on key events including Marta's reunion with her lover, Tadeusz (Joshua Hopkins), and Marta's friendships with Katya (Kelly Kaduce) and Bronka (Liuba Sokolova).
The Passenger is conducted by Sir Andrew Davis and directed by David Pountney, with set designs by the late Johan Engels, costumes by Marie-Jeanne Lecca, and lighting by Fabrice Kebour.
To supplement the mainstage performances of The Passenger, Lyric also presents "Memory and Reckoning," a confluence of activities that will add resonance and perspective to the themes and messages in Weinberg's opera through musical performances, a film screening, exploratory discussions, and the world premiere of The Property, a newly commissioned klezmer opera. Click here to learn more about these supplemental events, which run January through March.

Pathways to Discovery: Exploring The Passenger and The PropertyLyric's general director Anthony Freud discusses the importance of presenting The Passenger and "Memory and Reckoning" events in this article from Lyric Opera News: "As the son of a Holocaust survivor, Freud notes that he can 'be rather cynical about works of art that have been inspired by the Holocaust. However, The Passenger is different from most. It's not sentimental or simplistic or melodramatic. It's a complex, very moving, very human story.'" READ MORE
Zofia Posmysz and The Passenger: A Survivor's Story7566. If you listen to the roll call of prisoners in Act One of The Passenger, you'll hear a series of numbers called over a loudspeaker (in German) by the overseer. 7566 is the number Zofia Posmysz was assigned in Auschwitz. At age 91, she still bears the tattoo on her left arm. In 1942, Posymsz, an 18-year-old student in Krakow, was accused of distributing flyers for the Polish resistance and arrested. She would spend the next three years of her life in Nazi concentration camps, first Auschwitz and later Auschwitz-Birkenau (an extermination camp in the Auschwitz network), where she worked as a bookkeeper in the kitchen. READ MORE
In the Footsteps of Evil: Daveda Karanas visits AuschwitzWhen Daveda Karanas appears in the Lyric premiere of The Passenger, she'll perform with a special perspective on the opera. Her portrayal of Liese&mdsah;a former overseer of inmates at Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II—will be significantly influenced by the American mezzo-soprano's recent visit to Auschwitz itself.

Lyric Opera Orchestra Members on Weinberg and The PassengerThis season, Lyric Unlimited has teamed up with a number of cultural institutions for an incredible series of discussions, a film screening, the world premiere of a new klezmer opera, The Property, and chamber music performances featuring members of the Lyric Opera Orchestra. The chamber music concerts feature more of Weinberg's compelling and emotional music. We reached out to the members of the Lyric Opera Orchestra who are participating in these "Memory and Reckoning" concerts to gain insight on their experience with this music. READ MORE
Backstage Look: Creating Hair and Makeup for The PassengerLyric's wigmaster Sarah Hatten, now entering her fourth season as the head of this crucial department, takes us inside the process for creating the hair and makeup for Weinberg's The Passenger. With an opera based on historical events, the challenge is to make every aspect of the production look as realistic as possible. And as surprising as it might seem, recreating real life on stage is usually more difficult than creating whimsical or fantastic wigs and makeup. READ MORE
Behind the Scenes of The PropertyLyric Unlimited has commissioned a new opera, The Property, to be presented in tandem with the Chicago premiere of Mieczsław Weinberg's The Passenger on the Lyric mainstage. A true fusion of opera and klezmer music, The Property brings Israeli author Rutu Modan's graphic novel to life in a captivating story about reclaiming the past, and finding your future. READ MORE

Tory Budget to cut 'housing subsidies' for higher earners
BBC: "A clampdown on "taxpayer-funded subsidies" for "higher earners" living in social housing is to be announced by the chancellor in Wednesday's Budget. Local authority and housing association tenants in England who earn more than £30,000 - or £40,000 in London - will have to pay up to the market rent, George Osborne will say. The move is expected to raise up to £250m a year by 2018-19. It is thought that this could affect 340,000 households." George Osborne said: "the Budget would "reward work over welfare" and allow people to keep more of the money they earned."
In the Torygraph 5,000 small business owners wrote an open letter supporting the Tories in the UK election. So far so predictable, until people on Twitter started taking a closer look and found some strange discrepancies in the list...
Tory Peer: "Pay disabled people £2 per hour"
A Conservative welfare minster has apologised after suggesting that disabled people are "not worth" the national minimum wage and some could only be paid "£2 an hour". Lord Freud, the Welfare Reform minister admitted the comments were "offensive" after they were disclosed by Ed Miliband during Prime Minister's Questions this afternoon. The Labour leader has called on the Tory peer to resign.
"rights and responsibilities"
At the heart of the reform will be a new British Bill of Rights and Responsibilities that will restore common sense to the application of human rights in the UK. A draft of the Bill will be published for consultation before Christmas. Among other things the Bill will stop terrorists and other serious foreign criminals who pose a threat to our society from using human rights to prevent deportation. It will make it clear that people have clear responsibilities to society, and that there is a proper balance between rights and responsibilities in British law.If you follow UK politics you know the Tories (as well as a large chunk of Labour) have an obsession with the European Court of Human Rights and its "interfering" with British domestic matters. The party has now proposal to scrap the 1998 Human Rights Act and break the UK's ties to the court. [more inside]
Privacy matters even with Tory ministers
Last Saturday, Tory cabinet minister for civil society Brooks Newmark resigned on the eve of the publication about his sexting habits. Allegedly he had sent unsolicited dirty pictures to a woman he thought was a Conservative Party activist, but was in fact an undercover reporter for the Sunday Mirror. Good, you may think, another scumbag who doesn't know the meaning of consent uncovered, but was this really the case, or was this actually a borderline criminal sting operation on the Mirror's part?

Cabinet papers reveal 'secret coal pits closure plan'
Newly released cabinet papers from 1984 reveal mineworkers' union leader Arthur Scargill may have been right to claim there was a "secret hit-list" of more than 70 pits marked for closure. The government and National Coal Board said at the time they wanted to close 20. But the documents reveal a plan to shut 75 mines over three years. A key adviser to then-PM Margaret Thatcher denies any cover-up claims. The miners' strike began in March 1984 and did not end until the next year. [more inside]
Cutting legal aid
"A fundamental shift in the relationship between the government and the governed is taking place: by restricting access to the law, the state is handing itself an alarming immunity from legal scrutiny. There are several aspects to this: the partial or total withdrawal of state financial support for people who lack the means to pay for legal advice and representation; and for those who can pay, a restriction on which kinds of decision by public bodies can be challenged. In the area in which I work, criminal law, defendants who receive legal aid will lose the right to choose who represents them in court. Specialist criminal barrister Francis FitzGibbon on the impact the UK government's legal aid reform plans are having on the English & Welsh justice system. [more inside]
How Social Mobility Got Stuck
"Britain's poor were absolutely and relatively better off until Thatcher was elected in 1979. Since then, the bottom half of society is worse off than it was in 1983." "In 1945, when Thatcher turned 20, the richest 0.01 per cent people in Britain received 123 times the mean national average income. By the time she turned 40 in 1965 that had halved to 62 times, and the year before she came to power, in 1978, it was at its minimum: just 28 times the average income."
The first time as farce, the second time as panto

The British Parliament are debating same-sex marriage
And there I was, Laughing at the Mormons
Gay marriage: Religious 'opt-in' offered, but not to CofE - "The Church of England and Church in Wales will be banned in law from offering same-sex marriages, the government has announced. Other religious organisations will be able to "opt in" to holding ceremonies, Culture Secretary Maria Miller said. But she added that the Church of England and Church in Wales had "explicitly" stated strong opposition and would not be included." Included in the legisation is "Amending the 2010 Equality Act to ensure no discrimination claim can be brought against religious organisations or individual ministers for refusing to marry a same-sex couple."

The Great Train Snobbery
This afternoon, the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne got on a train from Cheshire to London. Despite only having a Standard Class ticket, he headed straight to First Class, because (obviously) he couldn't sit with the Standard Class herd. So he sent an aide to tell the ticket collector that he was going to sit in First Class, but was unwilling to pay. Sadly for him, the discussion took place right next to a journalist, who tweeted the whole thing. This comes hot on the heels of Plebgate, of course: the protagonist in that embarrassment resigned soon after Osborne's gaffe, apparantly in an attempt to distract attention. [more inside]
Irony? That's like goldy or silvery, right?
Atos Healthcare is a French company that's a contractor to the UK department for Work and Pensions, hired to test disabled benefits claimants on whether they're fit to work. If they are, they'll lose their disability benefits and are back on normal unemployment benefits. It is a controversial company, as its standards for declaring people fit to work are very low, as The Daily Mirror has been showing. By design or through incompetence, quite a few people who are clearly incapable of work are declared fit for work anyway, lose their benefits and some of them even die because of it, either through suicide or through the stress and healthcare problems caused by losing their benefits.

UK PM Cameron suggests cutting housing benefit for under-25s

"The other day I was having a conversation with a Tory who accused me of using "strong language" when I pointed out that welfare reform is forcing disabled people to commit suicide.

The Tories' favourite Lib Dem
Good news for Nick Clegg, deputy Prime Minister of the UK and leader of the Liberal Democrats: he's more popular than the Tory Prime Minister, David Cameron. Perhaps not so good news for the Liberal Democrats' image: that's with Tory party activists.

I agree with Nick: you're no Jack Kennedy.
Yesterday, the leaders of the three largest political parties in the UK engaged in a live televised election debate for the first time in history. Most commentators seem to agree that Nick Clegg, the leader of Britain's perennial third party the Liberal Democrats, made the best impression in yesterday's first of three weekly debates leading up to the general election on May 6. The progressive-leaning Guardian even goes so far as to claim that he is now prime ministerial material.
This being Metafilter you will undoubtedly ask, "how does Cory Doctorow figure into all of this?" Well, he agrees with Nick on the Digital Economy Act. Then again, Nick is agreed with quite a lot.

After Labour's positive but anodyne "we've done nice things, and here's Geri Halliwell" broadcast, are we now set for a dirty media war till June 7th?

Ballertainment Patriots RB Stevan Ridley wears interesting post game outfit I know New England Patriots running back Stevan Ridley suffered a head injury in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and I take no delight in that, but….this post game get up? What was he thinking? Verrrrrry interesting, to say the least. Ridley wore a blue grown folks onesie, a pair of white moon boots with rainbow accent, and a backpack. I have one question, though. Is the onesie of the "feet in" variation? Do you, Stevan. Do you. Photo via Twitter and @PeterBurnsRadio Ballertain a friend... Ballertainment - Sports Entertainment, Gossip, Lifestyle, and News

Set in Miami's Miramar Playa Hotel leading into the new year of 1959, hotelier Ike Evans (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) conjures up ways to finance his dream. He has essentially sold his soul to the devil, mob boss Ben "The Butcher" Diamond (Danny Huston). Ike's wife Vera (Olga Kurylenko), a former showgirl, and his three children think he is an honorable man, but he just can't break his pact with the most dangerous criminal in town. His life is a façade.
The alluring drama features an Ensemble Cast that also features Steven Strait (City Island), Christian Cooke (Cemetery Junction), Jessica Marais (Packed to the Rafters), Yul Vazquez (The A-Team, American Gangster), Dominik Garcia-Lorido (City Island), Kelly Lynch (Drugstore Cowboy, Charlie's Angels) and Elena Satine (Just Go With It). Along with Glazer, Geyer Kosinski (Changeling, The Astronaut Farmer) serves as executive producer. Ed Bianchi (Deadwood) was co-executive producer and Dwayne Shattuck (Mad Men) was a producer on the series.

In addition to performing oil changes, Jiffy Lube's savants perform air-filtration, brakes, electricity, and windshield services, among others.

Sylvan Learning CenterRead MoreThe staff members at Sylvan Learning's numerous study facilities understand that each child learns differently. Therefore, they don't try to implement a uniform tutoring system; instead, they use a four-step Sylvan Insight process to design custom lesson programs based on the results of standardized testing, diagnostic tools, one-on-one interviews. Tutors work with students from kindergarten through grade 12, illuminating topics ranging from basic reading and writing to remembering complex algebraic formulas without having them tattooed on your chest. Many of Sylvan's instructors work in local schools, so they are intimately familiar with common curricula and understand how to gear lessons toward optimal results. SylanSync technology complements in-person tutoring sessions, allowing kids to use iPads to further their learning. After-school and summer classes can ready high-schoolers for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students to wow college-admissions officers with their superior essay-writing skills.354 E Bloomingdale Ave.Brandon, FL US

Gear Question
Dave M
How would this compare to the Backcountry...
How would this compare to the Backcountry Rime Pullover in terms of warmth, breathability and wind resistance? Say if i were looking to wear this over a light fleece layer and ride to class in the winter with temps in the 30s and 40s. Would the Gamma MX fit the bill better?
Brandon Carlile
Can't compare for you, but it sounds like the Gamma MX would be your best bet for winter riding, as it's got more of the warmth and wind-resistance, but still breathes well. When the temps get above about 40, I've ridden with my MX and just a shirt underneath.
Dave M
Thanks for the help! Would opening the chest pockets in the MX provide venting like pit zips?
I would recommend the Gamma LT if you are wearing a fleece underneath and doing an activity like bike riding if the temp will only be 30-40 degrees... I would get too hot in the gamma mx I think but I dont own it!
