News last week that Jiffy Products was intending to leave Norwalk to set up shop in Lorain appears to have come as a surprise to local officials.
The company, along with its 21 jobs, is expected to make the move by next summer.
While the move will certainly be a blow to Norwalk, it appears to make good sense for Jiffy Products. The company's facility in Norwalk is obviously inadequate it has to operate in two buildings encompassing some 70,000 square feet. In Lorain, it will occupy part of the former Ford plant, which offers more than 100,000 square feet, all under one roof.
That Jiffy would opt for such a location is to be expected.
What's bothersome about the affair is the $125,000 forgivable loan Lorain is using to entice Jiffy to move. This area of Ohio is struggling economically and every community is naturally looking for any edge it can get. Still, there's an entire world of communities out there from which to poach companies. We shouldn't be doing it from each other.
In today's highly competitive and rapidly changing global economy, traditional political boundaries are becoming less and less relevant. If a large company is considering locating a facility in Norwalk, it looks at more than just what Norwalk has to offer or at least we damn well better hope so.
The boundaries that matter for work and play are those of commerce and they are drawn around regions, not localities.
Not that we don't love our city and think it's the best place possible to live we do it's just that by itself, it does not have the available workforce, for example, a large company would need. People already travel from here to Sandusky, from here to Lorain, from here to Elyria and vice versa to work or seek entertainment. In short, we're already a region, we just need to start acting like one and working cooperatively to attract employers, not sneaking around trying to snatch employers from one another.
While Norwalk, for example, may reap the tax benefit from a large employer deciding to locate here, many of those employed there would live in surrounding communities where they would spend the money they earn. What benefits one benefits all.
What's more, smart regions are already doing this. Raleigh, N.C. is not out there by itself trying to lure jobs. It's Raleigh and the Triangle Region that is promoted. No single locality has all the assets workforce, infrastructure and intellectual assets needed to be competitive. But as a region, we do have them.
We're all in this thing together and the sooner we realize that and start working cooperatively instead of competitively, the better off we all will be.

Fresh Window Tint?s owners smile, knowing they have satisfied yet another customer.

Valencia Car WashRead MoreAt Valencia Car Wash, the ideal path to a sparkling paint job depends on the answers to a few questions. How much time does the customer have? Are there any small scratches or bits of tree sap that need removing? Does the interior need a thorough shampoo or a quick ghost busting? Once they have the answers, the detailers can select the perfect service for customers' needs. After their standard wash and vacuum, they can go on to wax exteriors, clean engines, or even restore headlights. Valencia Car Wash doesn't focus exclusively on looks, however. Their techs also administer 22-point oil changes that include the replacement of other essential engine fluids.24233 Creekside Rd.Valencia, CA US

Hi! :)
I am an outgoing person and people say I am a very nice person. I like to joke around and laugh a lot.. I also know when to be serious. I love to spend time with friends and loved ones. I love reading books. I am a big fan of Dan Brown. Love watching movies, all kinds and listening to all kinds of musics. In fact, I am the kind of person that listens to Latin, Arabic, Indian or Italian music and completely fall in love with it without understanding what the words are about. I have been going to Salas and Ball room dancing for two years now and completely hooked. But salsa is my passion. I love the music, the dance and the people. Besides it is an exercise for me. I also love art. I used to sketch when I was young but I am no Picasso. I just do it for the fun of it and b/c I like to try staff out. I haven't done it in a long time though. I admire creativity and I like the idea of thinking outside of the box. I try to be creative even though I suck at it. I love the idea of traveling. I have traveled to tow countries so far but hope to get to travel more in the future.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering
Dancing, Swimming, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

Police: Man dies Wednesday after striking tree with Jeep
CORPUS CHRISTI - A man was pronounced dead Wednesday after striking a tree with his Jeep Cherokee.
Emergency responders were called about 7:15 p.m. after the Jeep struck a tree in front of a house in the 3900 block of Lou Street, near Agnes Street and Airport Road, said Lt. Patrick McMenamy of the Corpus Christi Police Department.
When paramedics arrived, officers already were performing CPR on the man.
The man was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital where he was later pronounced dead, he said.
The man's name was not released Wednesday. He is believed to be a middle-aged local man, McMenamy said.
There were no obvious injuries to the man when officers arrived. He was found on the ground beside the vehicle. The older-model vehicle did not have air bags.
Police believe the man may have left the roadway because of a medical condition.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by priggb Cross My Heart Tall Boot - I love you OMG these boots are gorgeous! My pair arrived and looked just like the picture. Beautiful dark brown color and perfect distressed leather. Size runs a bit on the small site. I wear a 7.5 so I went with EU 38. Fits just right. Women with strong large[r] calves be careful the upper boot runs narrow. I LOVE THEM! Buy'em Up Ladies you will fall in love too. 4.4.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Chiquitabonita Conditional Love I've been watching these boots for months! But could not afford to pay $450, so lucky for me they went on sale and purchase them right away. It is a well made boot; nice sturdy leather will take a few wears to break in. The chunky heel is high but yet comfortable. Color and design makes it very versatile, you can wear them with casual cloths or a nice dress. However, I agree with the other reviews that they are narrow at the ankle and calf. I have skinny calves and the zipper barely closes. I would not be able to wear a thick sock like the model in the picture, maybe after a while when they had been broken in. All in all I am happy with my purchase; these are my third part of Jeffrey Campbell boots never been disappointed with this brand. 5.26.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by KariBear77 Beautiful! These boots are absolutely beautiful but they are VERY small! I wear 7-7.5 and FP shoes are usually large on me. I took the advice of the other reviewer and ordered up. Actually, I ordered in a 37 and 38 just in case, since they are on sale. I couldn't even get the 37 on! The 38 fits, but is difficult to get on and I can't wear a sock unless it is very thin. The leather is beautiful but VERY stiff, which makes the zipper difficult to pull up. I am hoping it will soften because I really want to keep them! Over all, they really are a stunning boot. 5.9.2014

Pet Safe Instant Wireless Dog Containment Fence System PIF-300$259.99
With this innovative, portable system, there are no wires to bury. Just plug the transmitter into an electrical outlet close to the area where you want to contain your pet. The transmitter communicates with your dog's receiver collar and helps keep him in the area you've designated for him. The system is portable, so you can bring it along with you! An unlimited number of pets can be added to the system as long as they wear a PIF-275 Receiver Collar.
Spend less time fussing over installation and more time playing with your pup! Short training sessions will have your pets aware of their limits quickly. Plus, the waterproof collars offer 5 levels of static correction (and a tone-only mode) for customized reinforcement based on your dog's temperament. And for trips, the unit is easily portable – just plug it into an outlet! Cover a maximum of 180 feet in diameter or 90 feet in radius, with a minimum of 10 feet in diameter or 5 feet in radius. Plus, you can combine it with additional transmitters to expand your pet's play area.
How the System Works:
The Instant Wireless Pet Containment Fence System creates an invisible circular fence in your yard to prevent your dogs from leaving your property or entering forbidden areas and gives them an area to play in, called the safe zone, which is determined by you.
When your dog attempts to leave the safe zone, a warning tone will be sent to their collar as they get close to the boundary line. If they continue towards the boundary zone, static correction will be given to the dog.

Hazardous Waste Sites:
Improved Effectiveness of Controls at Sites Could Better Protect the Public
GAO-05-163: Published: Jan 28, 2005. Publicly Released: Mar 7, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6225
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Superfund and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) programs were established to clean up hazardous waste sites. Because some sites cannot be cleaned up to allow unrestricted use, institutional controls--legal or administrative restrictions on land or resource use to protect against exposure to the residual contamination--are placed on them. GAO was asked to review the extent to which (1) institutional controls are used at Superfund and RCRA sites and (2) EPA ensures that these controls are implemented, monitored, and enforced. GAO also reviewed EPA's challenges in implementing control tracking systems. To address these issues, GAO examined the use, implementation, monitoring, and enforcement of controls at a sample of 268 sites.
Institutional controls were applied at most of the Superfund and RCRA sites GAO examined where waste was left in place after cleanup, but documentation of remedy decisions often did not discuss key factors called for in EPA's guidance. For example, while documents usually discussed the controls' objectives, in many cases, they did not adequately address when the controls should be implemented, how long they would be needed, or who would be responsible for monitoring or enforcing them. According to EPA, the documents' incomplete discussion of the key factors suggests that site managers may not have given them adequate consideration. Relying on institutional controls as a major component of a site's remedy without carefully considering all of the key factors--particularly whether they can be implemented in a reliable and enforceable manner--could jeopardize the effectiveness of the remedy. EPA faces challenges in ensuring that institutional controls are adequately implemented, monitored, and enforced. Institutional controls at the Superfund sites GAO reviewed, for example, were often not implemented before the cleanup was completed, as EPA requires. EPA officials indicated that this may have occurred because, over time, site managers may have inadvertently overlooked the need to implement the controls. EPA's monitoring of Superfund sites where cleanup has been completed but residual contamination remains often does not include verification that institutional controls are in place. Moreover, the RCRA corrective action program does not include a requirement to monitor sites after cleanups have been completed. In addition, EPA may have difficulties ensuring that the terms of institutional controls can be enforced at some Superfund and RCRA sites: that is, some controls are informational in nature and do not legally limit or restrict use of the property, and, in some cases, state laws may limit the options available to enforce institutional controls. To improve its ability to ensure the long-term effectiveness of institutional controls, EPA has recently begun implementing institutional control tracking systems for its Superfund and RCRA corrective action programs. The agency, however, faces significant obstacles in implementing such systems. The institutional control tracking systems being implemented track only minimal information on the institutional controls. Moreover, as currently configured, the systems do not include information on long-term monitoring or enforcement of the controls. In addition, the tracking systems include data essentially derived from file reviews, which may or may not reflect institutional controls as actually implemented. While EPA has plans to improve the data quality for the Superfund tracking system--ensuring that the data accurately reflects institutional controls as implemented and adding information on monitoring and enforcement--the first step, data verification, could take 5 years to complete. Regarding the RCRA tracking system, the agency has no current plans to verify the accuracy of the data or expand on the data being tracked.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to our recommendation, the agency indicated that its Revised Operation and Maintenance checklist, issued in April 2008, identifies additional requirements specific to monitoring institutional controls. In addition, a June 2007 EPA guidance document advises site managers and attorneys on options for implementing effective monitoring of institutional controls at RCRA facilities. EPA also presented information on monitoring best practices at a national meeting of state waste management officials in August 2009.
Recommendation: In order to ensure the long-term effectiveness of institutional controls, the Administrator, EPA should ensure that the frequency and scope of monitoring at deleted Superfund sites and closed RCRA facilities where contamination has been left in place are sufficient to maintain the protectiveness of any institutional controls at these sites.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In June 2009, EPA issued revised institutional controls language for its model Superfund remedial design/remedial action consent decree that addresses each of the four key factors in this recommendation, among other things. In addition, a June 2007 EPA guidance document helps to ensure adequate consideration of these key factors at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act facilities, according to EPA.
Recommendation: In order to ensure the long-term effectiveness of institutional controls, the Administrator, EPA should ensure that, in selecting institutional controls, adequate consideration is given to their objectives; the specific control mechanisms to be used; the timing of implementation and duration; and the parties responsible for implementing, monitoring, and enforcing them.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Since the time of our report, EPA has finalized four guidance documents that address various aspects of the implementation of institutional controls and conducted several training programs that address this recommendation.
Recommendation: In order to ensure the long-term effectiveness of institutional controls, the Administrator, EPA should clarify agency guidance on institutional controls to help EPA site managers and other decision makers understand in what cases institutional controls are or are not necessary at sites where contamination remains in place after cleanup.
Agency Affected: Environmental Protection Agency
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: As of August 2009, EPA regions had reviewed the accuracy of system data for over 92 percent of the construction complete sites stored in the system, and the quality assurance effort was still ongoing, according to EPA.
Recommendation: In order to ensure the long-term effectiveness of institutional controls, the Administrator, EPA should ensure that the information on institutional controls reported in the Superfund and RCRA corrective action tracking systems accurately reflects actual conditions and not just what is called for in site decision documents.

Media Coverage of the Ongoing Conflict in Iraq Draws Scrutiny
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- Online NewsHour Special Report: Iraq in Transition
- March 21, 2006: RealAudio: President Bush comments on media coverage of Iraq war at this White House press conference.
- March 21, 2006: Experts discuss the future of Iraq on the third anniversary of the war.
- March 17, 2006: New poll numbers show a continued decline in Americans' view of the war in Iraq.
JEFFREY BROWN: As polls show the public increasingly turning against the war in Iraq, President Bush was on the road again today making the case for perseverance.
One issue often cited by the president and his aides: whether press coverage of the ongoing violence has become an obstacle to the U.S. enterprise in Iraq and a driver of American public opinion. The administration has said news organizations under-report progress in Iraq. At the president's appearance today in West Virginia, one woman had the media in her sights.
FEMALE AUDIENCE MEMBER: It seems that our major media networks don't want to portray the good.
GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States: One of the things that we've got to value is the fact that we do have a media, a free media that's able to do what they want to do. If you're concerned, I would suggest that you reach out to some of the groups that are supporting the troops, that have got Internet sites, and just keep the word — keep the word moving.
And that's one way to deal with an issue without suppressing a free press, and obviously I know you're frustrated with what you're seeing.
JEFFREY BROWN: The president expressed his own frustration yesterday at his press conference.
GEORGE W. BUSH: I'm not suggesting you shouldn't talk about it. I'm certainly not being — you know, please don't take that as criticism. But it also is a realistic assessment of the enemy's capability to affect the debate, and they know that; they're capable of blowing up innocent life so it ends up on your TV show.
JEFFREY BROWN: On CBS Sunday, Vice President Cheney was even more pointed.
RICHARD CHENEY, Vice President of the United States: There's a constant sort of perception, if you will, that's created because what's newsworthy is the car bomb in Baghdad; it's not all the work that went on that day in 15 other provinces, in terms of making progress towards rebuilding Iraq.
JEFFREY BROWN: At times, the White House press corps has been criticized by opponents of the war for not challenging the administration during the run-up to the invasion. But of late, the relationship has been more contentious. Yesterday, veteran correspondent Helen Thomas questioned the president.
HELEN THOMAS, White House Correspondent: My question is: Why did you really want to go to war? From the moment you stepped into the White House, from your cabinet or cabinet officers, intelligence people, and so forth, what was your real reason? You have said it wasn't oil — quest for oil, it hasn't been Israel, or anything else. What was it?
GEORGE W. BUSH: I think your premise, in all due respect to your question and to you, as a lifelong journalist, is that — you know, I didn't want war. To assume I wanted war is just flat wrong, Helen, in all due respect…
GEORGE W. BUSH: No, hold on for a second, please. Excuse me. Excuse me. No president wants war.
JEFFREY BROWN: In Iraq itself, the war has been the most dangerous conflict for journalists since Vietnam, as reporters have become principle targets of violence and harassment.
The fate of kidnapped American reporter Jill Carroll remains in doubt. And ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff is still undergoing treatment for wounds suffered in an attack last January. Yesterday at the State Department, spokesman Sean McCormack was asked whether he agreed that it was hard for reporters to do their jobs, given the security situation.
SEAN MCCORMACK, State Department Spokesman: I think it is important for everyone to understand that there are these — there are those two realities in Iraq at the moment.
You see a lot of the very difficult, difficult stuff. You see the results of terrorist acts, the IEDs, the bombings, the killing of innocent civilians. But there is also another story to tell, as well, and we see many reporters on the ground telling that story.
JEFFREY BROWN: Telling that story has exacted a heavy toll. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 67 reporters and 24 support personnel, the majority Iraqis, have been killed since the invasion.
And we discuss some of the issues raised now with Robert Lichter, president of the Center for Media and Public Affairs, a nonpartisan research organization that studies the news and entertainment media. He's also a professor of journalism at George Mason University.
And Michael Massing, a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books and former executive editor of the Columbia Journalism Review. His book, "Now They Tell Us," is a collection of essays about press coverage of the war in Iraq.
And welcome to both of you.
Mr. Lichter, starting with you, we just heard the State Department spokesman refer to the two realities in Iraq. In what ways is the president and his aides correct when they complain that part of that reality is not being seen in the American media?
ROBERT LICHTER, President, Center for Media and Public Affairs: Well, that's a harder question to answer than you'd think, because, of course, our reality is also the media's reality. Will Rogers said, "All I know is what I see in the newspapers."
But that said, studies of the coverage — certainly the network coverage — shows that there's two to one or three to one negative tilt in coverage of Bush's foreign policy, coverage of Iraq; so the coverage is negative and critical.
The question is whether that's appropriate or whether journalists are pushing to one side. So the question really is: How should journalists define the news? Are there things that are going on that should be used to balance out the most obvious headlines, which are always people being killed? Are journalists trying hard enough? If that is out there, are they trying to hard enough to communicate that to the American public?
JEFFREY BROWN: All right. Before we answer some of those, let me ask you, Mr. Massing, do you see a full picture or just half of the reality being shown?
MICHAEL MASSING, Contributing Editor, Columbia Journalism Review: Well, I would — there are things that I would like to know more about. For instance, what's going on in the south of Iraq, places like Karbala, Najaf? I think that things are better there, for instance, than they are in Baghdad.
But, you know, when you have a country in which 60 or 70 people are being killed every day, bodies showing up in roadsides, death squads operating out of the interior ministry, abductions, people afraid to send their children to school because of something that might happen, I mean, just in the nature of the news business, that is going to take precedence.
JEFFREY BROWN: But is that, Mr. Lichter — you raised that question, too. We have the maxim: If it bleeds, it leads. That's the famous local news maxim. Is that the right way to look at what's happening now?
ROBERT LICHTER: Well, one would hope that, when you get to the national level of news, there would be a greater sensitivity to the problem. In other words, journalists see this — like Michael says, that's the news business, but the question is whether they do anything about it.
If it's a disservice to the American public, using the traditional criteria for news, to miss other things that are happening; I can't be sure they are happening because I don't see them in the media.
JEFFREY BROWN: But what do you wonder about? What do you think we might be missing?
ROBERT LICHTER: Oh, well, obviously, there are questions of whether rebuilding Iraq, rebuilding the infrastructure, good relations between the troops and Iraqis, support for the Americans, whether that's out there and not being reported.
One thing that's clearly not being reported that was reported in previous years, even in Vietnam, is stories on courageous American heroes who win medals, that kind of thing. You hardly ever see a medal being pinned on someone, his story being told. That's the kind of thing that, on an individual level, really connects with Americans, and I haven't seen much of that.
JEFFREY BROWN: Mr. Massing, do you see — there's often this question about a bias by the media. Do you see a bias against either President Bush himself or against the war?
MICHAEL MASSING: Well, you know, things go in cycles. Before the war, as you mentioned in your report, journalists were very much acquiescent in what the administration did. I think there's a broad recognition now that the press did not ask the right questions about the reasons for going to war.
I think that, with the Abu Ghraib scandal in April of 2004, you began to see for the first time a more general shift, where the press began realizing they've got to start asking more questions.
More recently, like when the — remember the elections last year, three elections in Iraq, the coverage was very positive. I was actually frustrated that the press seemed to not be asking then the hard questions about, "Well, we had an election a few months ago in Iraq; it didn't make much difference. What is happening in the country with the democratic process?"
I would like to see the press sort of be a little more skeptical on those situations. Right now, I do think the press is being tough. I think the situation has really deteriorated, and that's why they are.
JEFFREY BROWN: Do you see a bias, Mr. Lichter?
ROBERT LICHTER: Well, certainly. First, it's a myth that Bush's foreign policy got positive coverage before the war. Certainly, since the war it's gotten highly negative coverage, but I think what — I think I agree with Michael, in saying journalists tend to criticize, but that's not the same as raising the right issues.
You know, Charlie Peter, a great Washington journalist, one said, "The message of Watergate was dig, dig, dig, but journalists thought the message was act tough." And so I think you're getting negative coverage that may be kind of compensatory criticism. They're compensating for not…
JEFFREY BROWN: Compensating for what?
ROBERT LICHTER: Compensating for feeling they hadn't done their job before the war, not asking the right questions. And the question is: Is it appropriate then to make it even more negative now because they feel it wasn't negative enough before?
JEFFREY BROWN: And what's the answer?
ROBERT LICHTER: I think the answer is you follow the news. You try to get inside your head and say, "Wait a second. You know, I'm not the news. I report the news, whatever I think."
You start with a blank slate every day, and report what's out there, and watch to make sure that you don't report in a way that reflects your own feelings of being manipulated.
JEFFREY BROWN: What do you see, Mr. Massing? Do you accept this notion of compensatory negativity? Is that the way you would express it, Mr. Massing?
MICHAEL MASSING: Well, I think that, in Washington, I think the press often acts as a pack. So before the war, I think that there was a — I might disagree with Bob a little bit; I think the press basically was very much behind the president, subscribed to the conventional wisdom.
When the president gets weak, when his poll numbers go down, the press sees an opening, and sometimes they pile on too much. I mean, some of these press conferences, where's you find reporters trying to show how tough they are in front of the cameras, I do think they go a bit overboard at times.
I think in Iraq, though, you're finding less of that. I think that the press really is pretty much shocked at how things are declining there and the level of sectarian hatred and violence. I think that that is really driving the coverage, rather than any compensatory inclination they might have.
JEFFREY BROWN: Let me ask you about — the other question hanging out here is the impact of the coverage on public opinion. Which comes first? Which shifts first? Do you see what's happening in the coverage affecting the public polls?
ROBERT LICHTER: The public is the chicken, and the media is the egg. Of course, that's the problem, which is which?
But studies have shown, number one, media coverage does affect public opinion, and critical coverage can turn public opinion more negative over time.
We also know, from studies of past wars, that the support for a war — Korea, Vietnam, you name it — support for a war tends to fall as American casualties rise. So that's natural; that's going to happen.
But I think what the administration is trying to say is, it's not just whether you're reporting on the casualties — they're there, sure — but we're trying to make a case that these deaths are meaningful, that there is a good reason for doing what we are and for people paying the ultimate sacrifice, and the media isn't communicating that.
Now, I'm not saying I'm saying that, but I think that's the argument. And I think it's something that journalists should address head on.
JEFFREY BROWN: Mr. Massing, what do you think about the chicken-and-egg proposition?
MICHAEL MASSING: Well, I think the press is not all that intrepid when it comes to challenging the wisdom out there when the public is against it. I feel the press is willing to be courageous, as long as it knows it's going to be applauded for it.
So when the president's weak and the public is open to it — the public is now, because of all the casualties, because of all the problems there, there is a political space for the press to fill. And, of course, once they do that, it then feeds back into the loop, and it accentuates the sort of negative public opinion that's out there. So it's a self-feeding loop, I think.
JEFFREY BROWN: Mr. Massing, one final question. I just was thinking of it in listening to Jeffrey Gettleman before, describing what it's like being there as a reporter. Does the press do a good enough job of explaining itself, what its limitations are, which part or how much of the story it can actually tell us?
MICHAEL MASSING: I'm really glad you asked that. It's a big concern of mine. I think our major media are locked into traditional ways of telling the story: number of people that died, attacks, and so on. And all of that is, of course, important.
But the texture of what's there — I mean, just what Jeffrey Gettleman was describing, you don't get that so much in our papers. They're boxed into traditional ways of telling the stories.
I would like to see somebody like Jeff Gettleman or another reporter do an actual regular column from Iraq. What's it like? What are you hearing on the street? You can often communicate much more that way than in the traditional political type of story.
JEFFREY BROWN: We have time for a brief response, Mr. Lichter.
ROBERT LICHTER: As we've seen at the New York Times, CBS and elsewhere, the irony is the media preaches transparency and openness to other institutions, but when they are the target, they tend to circle the wagons. And I think that actually hurts them; they do themselves a disservice.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right, Robert Lichter, Michael Massing, thank you both very much.
ROBERT LICHTER: Thank you.

Americans get ultra-cheap broadband in real terms
United States internet users may complain about the cost of their broadband package, but global figures suggest they are getting a relatively great deal. Compared with income levels, the US actually has the third cheapest average broadband in the world.
The figures come from the International Telecommunications Union, the United Nations agency responsible for global tech issues. It looked at the cheapest fixed line broadband package available in each country, then compared the monthly subscription rate with the average monthly income.
The only countries where broadband was relatively cheaper than the US were Macau, a semi-independent country partly controlled by China (where the broadband cost 0.3 percent of average monthly income) and Israel (0.49 percent), which just pipped the US on 0.5 percent. Singapore, Luxembourg and Denmark followed shortly behind.
The most expensive country in relative terms was the Central African Republic where the cheapest broadband costs 3891% of average income. Put another way, a month's broadband service costs more than three years' average wages in the country, compared with less than two hours' earnings in Macau.
The rest of the five relatively most expensive countries were all in Africa: Ethiopia, Malawi, Guinea and Niger.
The ITU released the figures to the BBC to support its secretary general Hamadoun Toure's argument that "access to broadband in an affordable manner is our greatest challenge." He says that broadband can assist in every global development priority such as schools and healthcare.
The UN takes that point so seriously that it will be listing access to communications technology as one of a new set of global targets for 2015, alongside education, health and gender equality.
According to Toure, broadband has now taken over from mobile communications as the top international priority. He predicts that within two years, virtually everyone in the world will have the potential to access some form of mobile phone.

This was an amazing tour. Our guide was Paul and he explained everything to us about the plants and animals in that region. It was like being in a biology class. This is not a lazy tour, you have to actually work to get where you're going. There is also some open water kayaking which means you're really exposed to the elements and water conditions. We found this just added to the tour.

Managerial Accounting for Managers, 1/e by Noreen/Brewer/Garrison is based on the market-leading text, Managerial Accounting, by Garrison, Noreen and Brewer. The Noreen book was created to serve customers who do not wish to teach the financial accounting-oriented content that is included in the Garrison book. Of our three books (the Brewer book, the Garrison book, and the Noreen book), the Noreen book is the most pure management accounting textbook. The other two books have greater amounts of financial accounting content. N/B/G, 1e is geared towards professors who love Garrisons market-leading managerial accounting content, but have been bothered by the debits and credits included in the book. It includes the same great coverage of managerial accounting topics such as Relevant Costs for Decision Making, Capital Budgeting Decisions, and Segment Reporting and Decentralization without the journal entries. The job-order costing chapter has been extensively rewritten to remove all journal entries. There is not one journal entry included in the entire book. Furthermore, the chapters dealing with process costing, the statement of cash flows, and financial statement analysis have been dropped to enable professors to focus their attention on the bedrocks of managerial accountingplanning, control, and decision making. It is important to emphasize that the same great content from Garrison is included in Noreen. More specifically, the following chapters/appendices are exactly the same in the two books: Chapters: Managerial Accounting and the Business Environment; Cost Terms, Concepts, and Classifications (the appendices have been dropped); Cost Behavior: Analysis and Use; Cost-Volume-Profit Relationships; Variable Costing: A Tool for Management; Activity-Based Costing: A Tool to Aid Decision Making (one of two appendices was dropped); Profit Planning; Standard Costs and the Balanced Scorecard (the appendix was dropped); Relevant Costs for Decision Making; and Capital Budgeting Decisions. The Appendices that have been duplicated for this book: Pricing Appendix; and Profitability Appendix.

Watch Dogs Latest News
E3 2015: Ubisoft's Press Conference today @ 3.00pm PDT / 11.00pm GMT+1 - Watch it here! FINISHED
Finishing off today's round of press conferences will be Ubisoft which begins 3.00pm PDT / 11.00pm GMT+1. There are some delicious morsels on the menu this year with the newly announced Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
In the Tom Clancy IP arena we have Rainbow Six Siege and The Division. We're being teased there's a number of surprises from Ubisoft, like another totally rad Far Cry spin-off?
There's "a lot of room for improvement" in Watch Dogs, admits Ubisoft creative director
When Watch Dogs was unveiled in a surprise announcement at their press conference at E3 a few years back it exploded onto the scene and let gamers imaginations run wild, but then it released and the bubble popped.
Technical problems and accusations of some serious visual downgrades, and even gameplay, left a sour taste for many. Creative director Jonathan Morin partly blames the 'blank canvas' of any new IP.
Ubisoft's 'free game offer' for Assassin's Creed: Unity Season Pass begins
A special webpage for those who own the Season Pass to Assassin's Creed: Unity is now online where you can take up Ubisoft's offer a free game to compensate for the disastrous launch.
Those eligible need only select their platform (the same as the one they own Unity), and then choose between a selection of Ubisoft's latest titles like The Crew and Far Cry 4.
Rumour: PS4 patch 'downgrades' Assassin's Creed: Unity visuals, PC patch yet to release [UPDATE]
UPDATE: The lighting 'downgrade' on the patched PS4 version of the game is not limited to just one platform, it has been reported. It's also the result of a bug linked to the 'Time of Day' setting in the game. It's unlikely this has been addressed in the PC patch yet to release either.
Original story follows:
According to those who've got their PS4 versions of Assassin's Creed: Unity patched, the whopping 2GB update that targets performance issues also 'downgrades' the visuals - specifically the lighting.
It hasn't been confirmed as of yet but images are surfacing with rather damning comparisons. Troubling is that the PC is due a performance update which is yet to go live. Will it follow suit?
Watch Dogs sequel will tackle original's flaws in "surprising" and "radical" ways, says Ubisoft
Though the critical reception wasn't universally positive, Watch Dogs certainly did the business when it came to sales, shipping around 8 million copies by July 2014. Still, developer Ubisoft says there's improvements to be made for the future of the franchise.
Speaking to CVG, Ubisoft Montreal's vice president of creative Lionel Raynaud admitted that the game wasn't perfect, but claimed that the team is listening to criticisms of both the narrative and the occasionally uninspired story missions.

I'm creating a KVC/KVO-compliant mutable array on one of my objects the recommended way:
@interface Factory {
NSMutableArray *widgets;
- (NSArray *)widgets;
- (void)insertObject:(id)obj inWidgetsAtIndex:(NSUInteger)idx;
- (void)removeObjectFromWidgetsAtIndex:(NSUInteger)idx;
Clearly this is a tricky thread-safety issue. In the
insert and
remove methods I'm locking around array access to prevent concurrent modification, as recommended.
My question is, what is the proper way to implement the
widgets accessor? Here's my implementation:
- (NSArray *)widgets {
[widgetLock lock];
NSArray *a = [[widgets copy] autorelease];
[widgetLock unlock];
return a;
Is it threadsafe?
