A true interference clusterfuck still could happen though, because WWE seems adamant that a heel should be weak and whiney.
I've heard it said you can get the answer you want from a poll by how you ask the questions but I think giving only two answers and neither of them being "no" is a more direct method of only hearing what you want to hear
So, there's a lie in the news section that suggests that Ryback will win the belt and Dolph will cash in tonight.
If any wwe hack talentless writers troll this site for ideas listen up I have the finish of the Punk-Ryback match right here. Cena and Lesnar interfere that's good but instead of a cattle prod brock takes out Ryback with a harpoon gun. It's brilliant and has never been done before. Not even Russo would use such a weapon. Partial credit goes to bearkg.
my prediction, more acturately what i would do if i were a WWE writer and subject to their goals rather than my own desire to see a good storyline.... Ryback is working out, and we see a car hit him, he gets up, the car backs up and hits him again, he gets up again, Heyman gets out of the car and hits him in the head with the belt as he tries to get up a third time... saying something like "he can't lose it" over and over under his breath. cut to the ring he and punk celebrate doing the "i can't lose the belt tonight thing" McMahon comes out names Cena the new Challenger, they fight and just as the match is about to end Rybak comes and destroys the cage, mayhem insues and punk stays champ as there is no winner... monday we get a whole lot of best in the world i told you so stuff, and there is a beat the clock set for the #1 contender, rybak doesn't get the fastest time, but wins his match
If Brock Lesnar interferes in screw Ryback? Would this lead to a Ryback Vs Lesnar feud?
Hmm sounds like something they would do at Wrestlemania, but it can be done at Survivor Series

6 In the public notice establishing the procedures for Auction 902, we noted that Auction 901 winning bidders
ultimately had 23 business days to file long-form applications, and we anticipated providing a similar time period
before the long-form application deadline for Auction 902. Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I Auction Rescheduled for
December 19, 2013; Notice and Filing Requirements and Other Procedures for Auction 902, Public Notice, AU
Federal Communications Commission
The long-form application filing window will open at 12:00 pm (noon) ET on
March 24, 2014. Applications may generally be filed at any time after the filing window opens until the
filing window closes at 6:00 p.m. ET on
Friday, April 4, 2014. Applicants are strongly encouraged to
file early and are responsible for allowing adequate time for filing their applications. Applications can be
updated or amended multiple times until the filing deadline on
Friday, April 4, 2014.
An applicant must always click on the SUBMIT button on the "Certify & Submit" screen
to successfully submit its FCC Form 680 and any modifications; otherwise the application or changes to
the application will not be received or reviewed by Commission staff. If you need guidance or encounter
technical difficulties in filing your long-form application, you should contact FCC Auctions Technical
Support using the information in the Contact section, below.
Failure to File Long-Form Application Constitutes an Auction Default9.
Any Auction 902 winning bidder that fails to file a long-form application by the
applicable deadline – 6:00 p.m. ET on Friday, April 4, 2014 – or that for any reason is not subsequently
authorized to receive support, has defaulted on its bid(s) and will be subject to an auction default payment
as described in section VII.A. below.7 Agreeing to such payment in event of a default was a condition for
participating in bidding.8 In the event of an auction default, a default payment of five percent of the total
defaulted bid will be assessed.9
Each winning bidder will use the FCC Form 680 and the FCC Auction System to submit
its long-form application. General application information is provided below. More detailed instructions
on filing the long-form application are provided in Attachment B to this Public Notice.
Ownership Disclosure11.
Each winning bidder must provide information required by sections 54.1005(b)(2)(i) and
1.2112(a) of the Commission's rules.10 Specifically, in completing the long-form application, a winning
bidder will be required to fully disclose information on the real party- or parties-in-interest and the
ownership structure of the applicant, including both direct and indirect ownership interests of 10 percent
or more, as prescribed in section 1.2112(a) of the Commission's rules.11 Each applicant is responsible for
ensuring that information submitted in its long-form application is complete and accurate.
The ownership information provided on each winning bidder's short-form application
(FCC Form 180) will automatically be entered into the applicant's long-form application. Each applicant
must carefully review any information automatically entered to confirm that it is complete and accurate as
of the deadline for filing the long-form application. Any information that needs to be corrected or
updated must be changed directly in the long-form application.

Federal Communications Commission
Winning Bid Information13.
Pursuant to section 54.1005(b)(2) of the Commission's rules, a winning bidder's long-
form application must include the information described below. The FCC Form 680 allows an applicant
to submit different information with respect to each of multiple bids in separate attachments to a single
long-form application.
Documentation of ETC Designation(s)14.
Each applicant must provide an "ETC Designation" attachment for each winning bid to
document its ETC designation, or pending petition if it is a Tribal entity seeking designation, and certify
that its proof is accurate.12 Appropriate documentation should include the original designation order, any
relevant modifications, e.g., expansion of service area or inclusion of wireless, along with any name-
change orders. Winning bidders should also explain how the ETC designation order(s) applies to the
areas covered by the winning bid(s) if it is not apparent.
Project Construction Schedule/Specifications15.
Each applicant must provide a "Project Description" attachment for each winning bid that
describes the network, identifies the proposed technology, demonstrates that the project is technically
feasible, discloses the complete project budget, and describes each specific phase of the project, e.g.,
network design, construction, deployment, and maintenance.13 A complete project schedule must be
provided, including timelines, milestones, and costs. Milestones should include the start and end date for
network design; start and end date for drafting and posting requests for proposal; start and end date for
selecting vendors and negotiating contracts; start date for commencing construction and end date for
completing construction; and the dates by which it will meet applicable requirements to receive the
installments of Mobility Fund support.14
In each "Project Description" attachment, applicants should include an initial statement
that describes at a high level what is to be accomplished with the Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I support
(e.g., build new network or expand an existing network, deploy new technology or current technology).
This initial statement should avoid highly technical terminology or jargon unless it is integral to the
understanding of the project. In this initial statement, applicants must indicate for each winning bid
whether the supported network will provide third generation (3G) mobile service within the period
prescribed by section 54.1006(a) or fourth generation (4G) mobile service within the period prescribed by
section 54.1006(b).15
After the initial, high level statement, applicants must then describe in more detail the
network to be built. As part of that description, applicants should identify the network components that
will need to be deployed (e.g., number of base stations, switching facilities and backhaul capabilities).
The detailed description should also include the type of technology that will be deployed (e.g., LTE,
HSPA, EV-DO, etc.) and the type of spectrum (e.g., 700 MHz, Cellular, Broadband PCS, AWS, etc.) to
be used with the technology. Applicants may demonstrate technical feasibility by explaining how the use
of this particular technology and spectrum will allow it to meet its public interest obligations for 3G or
4G.16 Applicants should consider including information on any key challenges or risks to the completion
of the project that have been identified and mitigation plans developed to ensure the completion of the
12 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.1005(b)(2)(iii).
13 See 47 C.F.R. § 54.1005(b)(2)(v).

15 47 C.F.R. § 54.1006(a)-(b). See 47 C.F.R. § 54.1005(b)(2)(v).
16 The description of the proposed technology should include information on whether the network will qualify as
either a 3G or 4G network.
Federal Communications Commission
In addition, applicants must disclose the total budget along with the amount budgeted for
each phase of the project. Any funds required to complete the project that are not included in the winning
bid amount for support should be noted. The budget should specifically relate the costs to the activities in
the project plan.
Projects Covering Multiple Bids. If a project encompasses areas covered by multiple
winning bids, an applicant may submit the same or similar project description for each winning bid.
However, the information in the project description, budget, and plan must identify the activities and costs
associated with each winning bid.
Spectrum Access Description20.
Each applicant must provide a "Spectrum Access" attachment for each winning bid to
describe the spectrum that the applicant will use to meet its obligations in each area for which it is the
winning bidder, including whether the applicant currently holds a license for, leases, or otherwise has
contracted for access to the spectrum consistent with Commission rules.17 The description should identify
the license applicable to the spectrum to be accessed. The description of the license must include the type
of service – e.g., AWS, 700 MHz, BRS, PCS – the particular frequency bands, and the call sign. If the
licensee is a different party than the applicant, the licensee name and the relationship and type of
agreement between the applicant and the licensee that provides the applicant with the required access
should be described. If the applicant is leasing spectrum, the lease number should be provided along with
the license information.
Letter of Credit Commitment Letter21.
Each applicant must provide as an attachment for each winning bid either a Letter of
Credit ("LOC") or a written commitment letter from an acceptable bank to issue such an LOC. If the
applicant submits a commitment letter, the letter will at a minimum provide the dollar amount of the LOC
and the issuing bank's agreement to follow the terms and conditions of the Commission's model LOC,
found in Appendix N of the USF/ICC Transformation Order.18 The commitment letter must be from an
acceptable bank, as defined in section 54.1007(a)(1).19
Letter of Credit and Bankruptcy Code Opinion Letter22.
After receipt and review of the long-form applications, the Commission will issue a
public notice identifying each winning bidder that may be authorized to receive Tribal Mobility Fund
Phase I support. No later than 10 business days following the release of the public notice, a winning
bidder for Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I support must submit an irrevocable stand-by LOC, issued in
substantially the same form as set forth in the model LOC provided in Appendix N of the USF/ICC
Transformation Order20 by a bank that is acceptable to the Commission.21 An LOC must be submitted for
each winning bid in an amount equal to one-third of the winning bid amount, plus an additional 10
percent of the winning bid amount that shall serve as a default payment in the event of a performance
default. As noted above, the LOC must be issued by a bank acceptable to the Commission pursuant to the
requirements enumerated in section 54.1007(a)(1).22 Those requirements vary for U.S. banks and non-
U.S. banks.

Federal Communications Commission
In addition, a winning bidder will be required to provide with the LOC an opinion letter
from outside legal counsel clearly stating, subject only to customary assumptions, limitations, and
qualifications, that, in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, the bankruptcy court would not treat the
LOC or proceeds of the LOC as property of the winning bidder's bankruptcy estate, or the bankruptcy
estate of any other bidder-related entity requesting issuance of the LOC, under section 541 of the
Bankruptcy Code.23 Each winning bidder must attach a copy of the LOC and opinion letter for each
winning bid in its long-form application by the applicable deadline.
The original of the LOC and the opinion letter must be submitted to the Universal Service
Administrative Company (USAC) at the following address: Mobility Fund LOC, USAC, 2000 L Street,
Suite 200, Washington, DC 20036. We recommend that each winning bidder send the original of the
LOC and the opinion letter by means of delivery requiring signature.
Tribal Engagement Notification25.
As noted in section IV.A. above, each winning bidder for Auction 902 must notify the
relevant Tribal government24 of its winning bid(s) by
Friday, March 7, 2014.25 In the long-form
application, each winning bidder must provide a "Tribal Notification" attachment to certify and describe
in detail the applicant's efforts to contact the relevant Tribal government(s) and initiate substantive
discussions.26 The description should include a statement that the winning bidder contacted the
appropriate Tribal government and affirm that such notification took place on or before March 7, 2014.
A winning bidder's engagement with the affected Tribal government should be between
decision-makers on both sides, so that the dialogue is undertaken at a level within the winning bidders
and Tribal governments that is commensurate with this important engagement requirement.27 The
attachment should include a summary of the engagement that has taken place to date, including discussion
regarding: (1) a needs assessment and deployment planning with a focus on Tribal community anchor
institutions; (2) feasibility and sustainability planning; (3) marketing services in a culturally sensitive
manner; (4) rights of way processes, land use permitting, facilities siting, environmental and cultural
preservation review processes; and (5) compliance with Tribal business and licensing requirements.28
Since the engagement may be preliminary in nature at the long-form application deadline and the
Commission's rules contemplate an ongoing dialogue between the winning bidder and Tribal
government, the applicant may not need to have discussed each item listed above with the Tribal
government by the long-form application deadline in order to comply with this requirement when filing
its long-form application.
The Tribal engagement information also must be submitted to the appropriate Tribal
government official concurrent with the filing of the long-form application. Thereafter, support recipients
must demonstrate their compliance with Tribal engagement requirements on an annual basis, and prior to
23 11 U.S.C. § 541; see 47 C.F.R. § 54.1007(b).

Long-Form Application (FCC Form 680) Certifications28.
Program Requirements Certification. In the long-form application, the winning bidder
must certify that it has available funds for all project costs that exceed the amount of support to be
received and that it will comply with all program requirements.29 Each applicant must certify that it will
meet the applicable deadline for construction of a network meeting the coverage and performance
requirements set forth in the rules, that it will comply with the Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I collocation
obligations specified in the rules, and that it will comply with the voice and data roaming obligations the
Commission has established with respect to Phase I of the Tribal Mobility Fund.30
Financial and Technical Capability Certification. As in the pre-auction short-form
application stage, a long-form applicant must certify that it is financially and technically capable of
providing 3G or better service within the specified timeframe in the geographic areas in which it seeks
support.31 This certification indicates that an applicant for Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I funds can
provide the requisite service without any assurance of ongoing support for the areas in question after
Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I support has been exhausted. An applicant should take care to review its
resources and its plans before making the required certification and be prepared to document its review, if
Reasonably Comparable Rates Certification. To satisfy one of the public interest
obligations of winning bidders that receive support, the long-form application also must contain a
certification that the winning bidder will offer service in supported areas at consumer rates that are within
a reasonable range of rates for similar service plans offered by mobile wireless providers in urban areas
for a period extending until five years after the date on which it is authorized to receive support.32
ETC Designation Certification. In the long-form application, a winning bidder must
certify that it (a) has been designated as an ETC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 214(e) in the area(s) for which it
seeks support, or (b) is a Tribally-owned or -controlled entity with a pending application to become an
ETC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 214(e) in area(s) for which it seeks support.33 The applicant must provide
proof of its status in its long-form application, and if the applicant relies upon clause (b) in the preceding
sentence, the applicant must identify the applicable Tribe and applicable Tribal lands in its application.
Spectrum Access Certification. Each winning bidder must certify that the description of
spectrum access in the areas of its winning bids provided in its application is correct and that it will retain
such access for at least five years after the date on which it is authorized to receive support.34

Federal Communications Commission
Maintaining Accuracy of Information33.
After the auction closes, each applicant must make all changes to its information in the
FCC Auction System using FCC Form 680.35 With the release of this Public Notice, applicants are no
longer required to maintain the accuracy and completeness of information furnished on their short-form
applications and exhibits.36
An applicant will be permitted to make minor modifications to its long-form application
after the deadline for submitting applications.37 Minor modifications include correcting typographical
errors and supplying non-material information that was inadvertently omitted or was not available at the
time the application was submitted.38 If an applicant makes a major modification to its application, the
application will be denied.39 In such event, the applicant would be subject to an auction default payment
for its winning bid(s). Major modifications include, but are not limited to, any changes in the ownership
of the applicant that constitute an assignment or transfer of control, or any changes in the identity of the
applicant, or any changes in the required certifications.40
An applicant may request that submitted information not be made routinely available for
public inspection following the procedures set forth in section 0.459 of the Commission's rules.41 Any
such request must be included as an attachment to the applicant's FCC Form 680, must identify the
specific information to which the confidentiality request applies, and must include a tailored, redacted
version of the specific information which can be made public. Because the required information bears on
each applicant's qualifications, confidentiality requests will not be routinely granted.
Prepared to Authorize Public Notice36.
After the deadline for filing the long-form application, the Commission will process all
timely submitted applications to determine which are complete, which have minor defects that may be
corrected or require additional information, or which are denied. Applications will be reviewed by
Commission staff for completeness and compliance with the Commission's rules. The Commission will
notify an applicant if additional information is required. When the application, including the information
with respect to each winning bid, is found to be complete, the Commission will issue a public notice
identifying the applicant and the winning bids that the Commission is prepared to authorize for Tribal
Mobility Fund Phase I support. If not already provided, the applicant will have ten business days from
the date of the public notice to provide the LOC and opinion letter and any required final designation as
an ETC for Tribally-owned or -controlled applicants.42 If an applicant is not authorized to receive support
for a winning bid, it will be in default and subject to an auction default payment for that winning bid.43
36 During the period from the release of this Public Notice until the window for filing long-form applications is
opened, winning bidders will be unable to report such changes using the FCC Auction System. In such event, an
applicant should summarize any such reportable changes and submit that description by email to the Auctions and
Spectrum Access Division to email@example.com.

Federal Communications Commission
Authorized Public Notice37.
Once Commission staff has determined that a long-form application and the winning bid
information is complete, the original LOC and accompanying opinion letter has been received and
approved by USAC, and the final designation as an ETC for a Tribally-owned or -controlled applicant is
provided (where applicable), the Commission will issue a public notice announcing the authorization of
support for the winning bid.
New Study Area Codes and Support Disbursements38.
A new study area code will be issued for each winning bid for Tribal Mobility Fund
Phase I support. Winning bidders will be notified of the new study area code prior to the authorization for
support along with the procedures for disbursing support.
The Commission determined that, depending on the nature of any default, a winning
bidder may be liable for two possible types of default payment obligations with respect to each winning
bid: (1) an auction default payment that would be owed by any Tribal Mobility Fund winning bidder that
defaults on its winning bid(s) prior to authorization of support, or (2) a performance default payment that
would be owed by any Tribal Mobility Fund winning bidder that applies for and is authorized to receive
support but subsequently fails to meet its public interest obligations or other terms and conditions of
Tribal Mobility Fund support.44
Auction Default Payment40.
If a winning bidder fails to timely submit a long-form application, is found ineligible or
unqualified to receive Tribal Mobility Fund support, has its long-form application dismissed, or otherwise
defaults on its bid or is disqualified for any reason after the close of the auction and prior to the
authorization of support for a winning bid, it will be subject to an auction default payment.45 The auction
default payment for Auction 902 was set at five percent of the total defaulted bid.46
Performance Default Payment41.
A winning bidder that has been authorized to receive Tribal Mobility Fund support will
be subject to a performance default payment if it fails or is unable to meet its minimum coverage
requirement, other service requirements, or fails to fulfill any other term or condition of Tribal Mobility
Fund Phase I support.47 The performance default payment for Auction 902 is ten percent of the total
defaulted bid.48
The Commission recognized in the USF/ICC Transformation Order that a Mobility Fund
recipient's failure to fulfill its obligations may impose significant costs on the Commission and higher
support costs for the Universal Service Fund (USF) and concluded that it was necessary to adopt a default
payment obligation for performance defaults.49 In addition to being liable for a performance default
payment, the recipient will be required to repay the Mobility Fund all of the support it has received, and

USF support.50
Maintaining Prohibition on Certain Communications43.
To ensure the competitiveness of the auction process, the Commission's rules prohibit an
applicant in a Mobility Fund auction from cooperating or collaborating with any other applicant with
respect to its own, or one another's, or any other competing applicant's bids or bidding strategies, and
from communicating with any other applicant in any manner the substance of its own, or one another's, or
any other competing applicant's bids or bidding strategies, until after the post-auction deadline for
winning bidders to submit applications for support, unless such applicants are members of a joint bidding
arrangement identified on the short-form application(s) pursuant to section 1.21001(b)(3)-(4).51 As
explained more fully in the Auction 902 Procedures Public Notice, this prohibition began at the short-
form application filing deadline at 6:00 p.m. ET on December 5, 2013, and continues until the long-form
deadline, which is 6:00 p.m. ET on Friday, April 4, 2014.52
The prohibition on certain communications applies to all applicants in Auction 902
(unless they have identified each other on their short-form applications as parties with whom they have
entered into agreements under section 1.21001(b)(3)), regardless of whether an applicant became a
qualified bidder or actually participated in the bidding, and the prohibition continues for all applicants
until the long-form application filing deadline regardless of whether an applicant is a winning bidder.53
Each applicant in this auction certified its compliance with sections 1.21001(b)(3) and 1.21002 when it
filed its short-form application.54
Public Interest Obligations and/or Annual Reporting Requirements45.
To ensure that Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I support meets the Commission's public
interest objectives, all recipients are subject to a variety of obligations, including service requirements,
performance deadlines, annual reporting and record retention requirements, collocation, voice and data
roaming requirements, and Tribal engagement obligations in exchange for the support they
receive.55 Since these requirements, as well as all the public interest obligations, are a condition of
Tribal Mobility Fund Phase I support, violations may result in the withholding or recovery of universal
service support in addition to any other applicable sanctions.56

The spotlight during the Chase for the Sprint Cup is usually reserved for the 12- or in this year's case, 13- drivers who make the cut to compete for the championship.
For the second week in a row, however, that attention has turned to one of NASCAR's other stars, and this past weekend in Talladega that driver was Jamie McMurray.
In fact, six of Sunday's top ten finishers are not in the 2013 Chase.
McMurray snapped a 108 race winless streak after winning Sunday's Camping World RV Sales 500 after being pushed to the lead on lap 174 by Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
On the last lap, rookies Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. made contact with Austin Dillon, who was subbing for the injured Tony Stewart, sending the No. 14 Chevy into the air. Dillon also collected Casey Mears, but both drivers walked away unscathed. The incident froze the field, and handed the victory to McMurray.
"At plate tracks, to get the right line, it requires a lot of risk, and I felt like I was pretty patient all day, and I saw the 17 (Stenhouse, Jr.) and the 88 (Earnhardt, Jr.) coming on the top," McMurray said in Victory Lane. "It just seemed the top was the better place to get hung out than if you got hung out on the bottom. Fortunately, I was able to get into position."
Behind McMurray and Earnhardt, Jr. was the aforementioned Stenhouse, Jr., who earned his first top five of his Sprint Cup career with his third place result. Paul Menard ended the day in fourth.
For the third time in four weeks, Kyle Busch comes home with a top five, which moves him up one spot to third in points, taking the spot from Kevin Harvick, who ended his day in Talladega with a 12th place finish.
David Ragan, who won at Talladega in May, and David Gilliland finished sixth and seventh. Martin Truex, Jr., Ryan Newman and Clint Bowyer finished out the top ten.
Jimmie Johnson, who led a race high 47 laps, finished 13th and takes over the points lead going into Martinsville. He leads the standings by four points over Matt Kenseth, who finished 20th.
There are just four races remaining in the 2013 Sprint Cup Chase to the Championship, and next up is the historic and always unpredictable Martinsville Speedway. Coverage of the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 Powered by Kroger begins Sunday at 1:30 pm Eastern time on ESPN and MRN Radio.

My blitz game with batgirl
Last night I had the rare pleasure of playing chess with batgirl, and I felt it was my duty to report it, because I know that many people have been curious as to what she's like as a player. For those of you who don't know, (the three of you maybe) Sarah Beth is one of chess.com's top contributors... she collects information about chess history like a dragon hoards gold. Do yourself a favor and go visit her website http://sbchess.sinfree.net/archives.html . Anyways, Sarah, to the consternation of many I'm sure, doesn't play coorespondence chess! and so her playstyle has remained a mystery. That is – until now!
Haha forgive my overly dramatic framing for a moment (I can picture a spinning newspaper, a la the Batman television series – with the headline BATGIRL PLAYS CHESS!).
The following was a 5 0 blitz game.
So now the chess.com community can say they've seen batgirl play, or at least, destroy a patzer like me. Haha.
After the game ended I asked for her permission to post this. As she took off into the night, I told her I felt like commissioner Gordon, to which she said
Well, I didn't mean to. I was really looking for a chess miniature and was hoping for a trap.
15...Nd5 doesn't do anything for your game. Perhaps 15...Ne4, atttacking the Queen, or 15...Bc4 and pinning the knight.
16...f6 weakens the pawns and opens the center for attack and exposes the king. Perhaps 16...Nb6 and 17...Nb4 and make your own attack.
Perhaps 17...Nc7 instead of wasting a tempo with the bishop move.
I would have worked the center with 18.f4 and 19.fxe5.
18...Rb8 looks slow and drops material. Try 18...Ne7, threatening 19...Qxd4. If the White knight moves, exchange Queens.
I would have jumped at 20.Qxd5 Qxd5 21.Nc7+ and 22.Nxd5
20...Kf7 looks better, aiming for ...Kg8 and "castling"
I might have tried 21.Qa5+ or 21.Ne4 and keep my knights hopping.
21...Kd7 looks bad. Simply play 21...Bxe6, and if 22.Nxe6, then 22...Qxe6.
22.Nxf8+ looks best.
You need counterplay and defend your knight. Try 22...Bb7 and 23...Rfc8.
23...Kc6 and 24...Qc5 is all that Black can try.
If you are ahead in time, run! 24...Kc7 and White has to do some more work to get the mate.
had a chance to play her on the blitz demo thingie... she kicked my butt too. but was fun to play. i'd recently read some of her blogg postings.
it's obvious she's a smart player... well beyond my means.
If my memory is not playing tricks with me, I'm pretty sure I played a game with BATGIRL sometime last year. It was not blitz and I won. Probably she was busy doing whatever she does all the time. Yeah I'm pretty sure..

Reviews for the Eurocom M4
Source: Notebookreview.com
The Eurocom M4 is one of the notebooks we're able to give an Editor's Choice award without much second thought. Its only real downside is the relatively loud fan, which turns on while gaming. The M4 otherwise excels in just about every area. It has great gaming performance as configured, a beautiful QHD+ (3200×1800) display, good touchpad, backlit keyboard, solid quality, and gets about 6 hours of battery life under light usage. The M4 is a little chunky compared to a standard 13.3-inch notebook, but this isn't an ordinary 13.3-inch notebook.
Single Review, online available, Medium, Date: 09/25/2014
Rating: Total score: 76%
Source: Laptop Mag
Eurocom managed to squeeze some impressive hardware into a 13-inch gaming laptop. The M4 absolutely screams, offering smooth frame rates on even the latest titles. We also like the sharp QHD screen, even if the color accuracy isn't great. Where the M4 falls flat is its short battery life and noisy fan. The M4 also runs hotter than we'd like.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

The FTT's future hinges on Germany's election campaign
Oh, FTT. How does the financial industry hate thee? Let me count the ways. It hates that the FTT will probably lead to a slump in trading activity such as Italy's own financial transaction tax has wrought since being introduced at the beginning of March. It hates that it is likely to increase the cost of capital for smaller companies. It hates that the levy will ultimately end up being shouldered by investors.
