Hope for a comprehensive immigration reform bill this year has fallen by the wayside, but the Obama Administration is rallying for one last hurrah before mid-term elections in November. Late last week, the White House unofficially announced plans to sue the state of Arizona over the now notorious Senate Bill 1070, a state law passed this year to crackdown on undocumented immigrants.
SB 1070 allows Arizona police to check the immigration status of a person if there is a "reasonable suspicion" that they are undocumented, and forces immigrants to carry government papers proving their identify at all times.
Meanwhile, an estimated 15,000 progressives and 1,300 organizations are meeting in Detroit this week to discuss alternative solutions to our broken immigration system at the second U. S. Social Forum (USSF).
US v. Arizona?
As Jessica Pieklo reports at Care2, "After Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's nonchalant statement on Ecuadorian television last week that the Department of Justice planned to file suit challenging Arizona immigration law SB 1070, senior administration officials confirmed that such a suit would be forthcoming."
"Expect a suit to come soon though as the controversial measure is set to take effect in July," Pieklo writes. "That said, it is only one of many suits already challenging the measure in federal court. Some of those cases have asked a federal judge to issue an injunction which would halt implementation of the measure while the legal issues get sorted out."
At the Women's Media Center, Gloria Steinem and Pramila Jayapal argue that "In the wake of Arizona's SB 1070 — the harsh anti-immigrant law that not only condones but promotes racial profiling that endangers entire groups of the innocent — all sides seem to agree that the Federal government has abdicated its responsibility to institute a fair and just immigration system…."
Eyes on Detroit
In the wake of discriminatory laws like the one in Arizona, many immigration reform activists have come to the USSF, taking place June 22-26, to make their voices heard.
"This is great because it just shows community unity," Rocio Valerio, an activist with the Worker's Center immigrant rights group, told GritTV. "Right now the strategy for immigrant voices is being driven by policy groups, and with the social forum we're saying that decisions can't be made without us."
At New America Media, Anthony Advincula interviews Rev. Phil Reller, a coordinator for Phoenix-based Southwest Conference United Church of Christ who is attending the forum. "This is a perfect opportunity to educate people on what's truly happening in our local communities, not just about the struggles of immigrants in Arizona, but also the momentum of hope among community leaders to repeal SB 1070," Reller says.
ICE gets a face lift
While activists are trying to find answers in Detroit, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in Washington D.C. is attempting to turn itself into a more attractive bureaucratic juggernaut. As AlterNet explains, "This week, [ICE] announced changes to its management structure, conceived as part of a strategy to 're-brand' the agency to the public."
The agency has even gone so far as to recruit help from Hollywood, although it's uncertain where the assistance will be coming from or if ICE agents will be portrayed as the "good guys" in movies. But not even a public relations face lift can cover ICE's sordid record of terrorizing and deporting undocumented immigrants at a record pace.
The National Radio Project has already reported on numerous abuses in ICE-run immigration prisons. The media outlet notes that the government's "immigrant detention is the fastest-growing form of incarceration in the U.S., with more than 30-thousand detainees behind bars on any given day."
Filming América
While immigration problems and discrimination against Latinos continues, Oliver Stone is releasing a new film titled "South of The Border" that traces the history of popular struggles in South America and how they affect the Western Hemisphere.
According to Free Speech TV, the movie, which is set to premiere at the USSF, features interviews from "several South American heads of state, including Evo Morales of Bolivia, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil and Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela." Stone was also interviewed about the movie on Democracy Now!

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We need more people like Oliver Stone and Micheal Moore to seek out the truth. We need a media (FREE) media news to report both sides of issues and WE THE PEOPLE can decide for ourselves. Now the top 2% big business tells the news caster what lies or slant to put on things. At this time in America we have no true freedom of the press and reporting. If we did we would see more free reports about the wars and how are government holds business. A brave reporter would not be in trouble for letting some of the world see civilians shoot in Afghanistan etc.
It's just a sad story that the native american peoples weren't able to keep the eurotrash immigrants from invading and genociding them.
Is karma going to embarrass the descendents of the genociders who live high on the hog on their ill gotten gains?
The hipocrissy of America is mind knumbingly arrogant.
This is the country that spends more on war than the rest of the world put together.
This is the rogue state that uses depleted uranium on civilians.
These are the liars and thieves, torturers and mass murderers
that point their fingers at tiny North Korea, Iran & Cuba.
These are the people who invaded Afghanistan
and are still there despite 911 being an inside job!
The forensic evidence of this is incontrovertable
despite the continuing denials of the perpeTraitors...
Who could be a patriot to such evil?
I'm an American living outside of the US. I'm required to carry proper ID at all times. I have to show it when requested or to function in day to day life. It is my obligation to renew on time not that of my host country.
I don't feel like it is profiling and if anyone has any better ideas to tell who is illegal from who is not please share.
I saw the interview last week, on the Bill Maher show with Stone, speaking about the movie. Immigration is just another business and another distraction from the real issues. We ought be far more concerned about how many of our jobs have been outsourced, and where corporations brought plenty of foreigners in to take higher paying jobs over the past 20+ yrs., how much of our economy has been hi jacked by the gooberment, wall street crooks and mortgage loan sharks 3/1 5/1 arms should be terminated. How much of our clean water,agriculture and resources like the gulf have been poisoned and hi jacked. But no, were cowardly, picking on poor little Mexicans running across a desert to work here doing farm labor and cleaning toilets, things most Americans would rather not do. We all already forgot how Bush offered Amnesty for any Mexicans willing to go to Iraq if they made it out of being cannon fodder, alive.Oh and that was ok. Gee's get a clue every one here! is an immigrant. Whah. Free trade Capitalism. Keep a LARGE DESPERATE work force willing to do anything and blame anyone that they think are getting their crumbs. And the 2% are laughing all the way to the bank.
Thanks for the article.
If the authorities hands are tied and can not ask if they are legal or not ~ Could they also be a terrorist and have to be set free??
Where is the National Security in this??
And if they are 'illegal' ; Isn't that breaking the law?? Is their rights now more important than the citizens of this country.. Can i get away with breaking the law too.?? Now i feel like a redheaded stepchild..

So, when Ramirez walked on the very next pitch, he disrespectfully placed his bat in between Navarro's crouched legs before jogging to first base while laughing.Pretty childish, huh?Navarro then got the last laugh by smashing Ramirez's bat into the ground before the Dodgers batboy can grab it.As fate would have it, Ramirez would exit the game later on after crashing into the stands while trying to track down a popup.Karma at its best, folks.Via The Big Lead

Ryan Anderson scored seven of his game-high 29 points during a 14-2 game-clinching run to lead Boston College to an 84-70 win over Florida International in the schools' season opener on Sunday. Anderson, voted on the Atlantic Coast Conference's all-freshman team last season, added 17 rebounds. Dennis Clifford, Olivier Hanlan and Patrick Heckmann each scored 12 points for Boston College, which spoiled FIU's Richard Pitino Jr.'s debut as head coach. Jerome Frink paced FIU with 22 points with 10 rebounds, and Malik Smith had 16 points. Pitino Jr., son of the longtime Louisville coach, was the youngest coach ever hired in FIU's basketball program when he got the job at 29-years old in April. The Panthers wiped out a 16-point halftime deficit, tying it on Smith's 3-pointer with 8:45 to play. But BC responded with its game-breaking run. Anderson started it with a short jumper from the left of the key, and followed with two free throws. After a pair of free throws by Joe Rahon, Heck...

Maemo Update to Allow N900 to Dual Boot with MeeGo.
Not the full experience, but we'll take what we can get.
The MeeGo blog has confirmed that the upcoming update for the Nokia N900 (PR 1.3), will allow a dual-boot option between MaeMo and MeeGo. Considering Intel's recent announcement that the smartphone market won't be getting an official MeeGo device until 2011, users eager to try the OS out on a phone are going to have to take what they can get.
An interesting note for developers, the dual-boot feature allows for testing Qt apps in both operating systems. App development for both MeeGo and Maemo are based on Nokia's Qt development APIs, allowing apps to be written on a PC and then transfered to both Maemo and MeeGo.
Nokia told the MeeGo blog that the N900 is used as a development hardware platform and that there is no plan to implement the dual-boot option in commercial software releases.

Tolerant Allies
Donaghy, Greg, Delworth, W. Thomas, International Journal
Canada and the United States 1963-1968
Greg Donaghy
Montreal & Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2002, x, 235pp, $75.00, ISBN 0-7735-2431-2
Tolerant Allies does a fine job of keeping in focus the often-overlooked truism that any significant relationship is never problem-free. If ever the 'golden age' perspective on the study of Canada's international relations seems tempting to students of the mid-century scene, Donaghy's work provides a salutary historiographical corrective.
The period Donaghy addresses is the five years during which Lester B. Pearson was prime minister (1963-1968). In those five short but tumultuous years Canada moved from the declamatory John Diefenbaker era to a more cerebral New Age under Pierre Trudeau. A wave of euphoria marked the Centennial in 1967 and it can be seen as a lasting leitmotiv for the Pearson years. The flag, the bi-and-bi Commission, and, at a somewhat different level, the angry nationwide response to de Gaulle's incredible Centennial insult in Montreal all served as optimistic symptoms of national self-confidence and faith in the future of the country.
Euphoria notwithstanding, this was no golden age; it was a time of questioning, great unrest and excitement, both positive and negative, rather than halcyon calm. Challenges were everywhere - the Middle East, Commonwealth relations, France's withdrawal from NATO's military command and NATO's relocation to Brussels, the emergence of francophone Africa as an international reality with important diplomatic implications for Canada. But it was within the complex relationship with the United States that Canada's interests achieved a much more jagged profile, especially in a North American perspective; nuclear policy and Vietnam come to mind immediately.
The genius of Donaghy's work, which is obviously based on wideranging research in documents and on extensive personal interviews, is to be found not so much in a host of dramatic new insights as in its organization into broad subject areas that emerged over time from a complex flow of events where many problems played themselves out contemporaneously rather than in neat chronological order - economic continentalism, nuclear policy and North American defence, a rambunctious new Canadian nationalism, and Vietnam. For younger readers who cannot remember or even imagine what the concerns of a government and people might have looked and felt like before 'free trade,' Donaghy does a remarkable job of highlighting one of the absolutely inescapable and perennial themes of Canadian history - the search for easy access to US markets and capital against the background of gut-twisting concerns that the political price of these undoubted economic advantages might be too painfully high. …

After nearly nine months behind bars, a Charleston man accused of setting three fires around the Lowcountry is back on the streets after a bondsman posted $175,000 to get him out of jail.
Kenny Boone, 56, of Glenwood Avenue, had been jailed at the Cannon Detention Center since his November arrest, which was trumpeted by city officials as a long-awaited break-through in an investigation into more than 80 suspicious fires around Charleston.
While he was locked up, investigators encountered no suspicious fires that fit the profile of the string of arsons. But police also have not linked any of the unsolved blazes to Boone or filed any more charges against him in that time.
Boone's attorney, David Aylor, has cautioned people to withhold judgment on his client while police continue their investigation into the string of arsons. He said his client takes the charges very seriously but is trying to restore some normalcy to his life.
"Essentially, he's going to be taking care of his elderly parents at their home, working to support himself and them," Aylor said.
Boone's bail had been reduced in December from the original $300,000 to $175,000. An attempt to further lower that bail amount last week before Circuit Judge Thomas Hughston Jr. failed, according to Aylor.
Following Hughston's refusal to reduce the bail, Boone came up with the money to get himself out of jail. Boone, who does construction, was looking to get back to work following his release, he said.
Boone is charged with two counts of third-degree arson in connection with fires at a house in Hollywood, one count of third-degree arson involving a house at 48 Montagu St. in Charleston and one count of solicitation to commit arson, according to arrest affidavits.
Charleston police Capt. Naomi Broughton, a member of the city's arson task force, said police were alerted of Boone's release. She said authorities are aware of Boone's desire to return to working in the construction trade and they intend to keep tabs on him, within the limits of the law, as they do with other suspects of interest who are in the community while awaiting trial.
Boone's arrest was the culmination of a complex undercover operation that began in October with a tip to the city's arson hotline, which in turn fueled new life into the hunt for a serial arsonist that torched downtown homes over the past decade. The fires were centered around a tightly packed area of the peninsula bisected by the Septima P. Clark Parkway, better known as the Crosstown.
The fires began at least in the early 2000s and were set every year after that, according to a Post and Courier analysis. It's unclear whether they were the work of one person, though given the length of time, it's plausible that several fire-setters were at work.
After a rash of fires in the summer of 2011, the city reconstituted its arson task force and offered what eventually grew to a $50,000 reward. Police and firefighters canvassed neighborhoods, installed surveillance cameras and put up red arson hotline signs in front of homes that burned.
The task force got a break in late October when someone called the hotline, according to Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen. The tipster said a man who worked on houses in Charleston had asked an acquaintance to start a fire in Hollywood.
One affidavit outlined how a confidential informant earlier said he believed Boone "was starting fires to residences in the City and County of Charleston, and then later profiting by performing the repair work."
On Thanksgiving Day, Boone told a confidential informant that he would pick him up at about 3 a.m. at the corner of Ashley Avenue and Huger Street, an arrest affidavit said. That morning, the team saw Boone pick up a man and head toward Hollywood.
During the trip, "he made several comments," the affidavit said. "Kenneth said he had a gallon of gas ... and went on to say the house had burned a couple of times."
As Boone and the confidential informant neared Hollywood, police and deputies stopped Boone's car at S.C. Highway 162 and U.S. Highway 17 and took him into custody.

Most Americans want pretty much the same outcome from healthcare reform, and it's not what either major-party candidate is offering.
One simple answer is: partisanship.
A popular provision of the Affordable Care Act that has helped insure 6.6 million Americans under 26 could be eliminated by the Supreme Court.
Are we prepared to care for the aging baby boomer population?

Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit The french canadien This bag was made for my bike. Fits perfect, great as a backrest. Plenty of room and I keep getting asked where I picked this up. I let them know and you should have had an order by now. Thanks for making a road trip fun. -Bernard Bernard - July 25, 2013 (Montreal, QC) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit The perfect long haul I purchased this bag in anticipation of a cross country trip in July 2012. Twenty-two days on the road from PA to Washington state and back. I put on the underseat attachment on my Harley FXDF (FatBob). The bag was stable for every leg of the trip. Easy to remove at hotels. The back straps made it easy to carry when we were on a second floor. The backrest was "what the doctor ordered". The rain shield kept everything dry. For longhaul rides, you can't beat this bag. Buck - March 14, 2013 (Needmore, PA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit BR3400EX GREAT BAG FOR THE PRICE. VERY VERSATILE. I RUN IT ON MY 85 HONDA V65 MAGNA. Bruce G - March 09, 2013 (Houston, OH) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Excellent Bag I researched and window shopped for days before purchasing this bag. We used it on a 500 mile weekend trip and it performed flawlessly. I would recommend to friends and family. Curt M. - October 23, 2012 (Ankeny, IA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Saddleman BR3400EX tail bag This is a fantastic bag for quality, durability and functionality. I wavered for a few weeks whether to buy the 3400 or the 1800 for a daily use/commuter bag. Ultimately I chose the larger bag due to the minimal price difference and added size. After fitting it to my bike, and trying it as a backrest, I wished I had purchased the smaller bag. It is a terrific bag and would be great as a long haul traveler, but I feel it is too big for every day use. Mike - August 16, 2012 (Winchester, VA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit br3400 ex bag NO problems so far, enormous amount of room. Not sure how much i'll use side pockets. Good for small or flat stuff. Maps, keys, etc. more than anything else I can think of. Used rain cover once, no problems. Wayne - July 24, 2012 (Pittsburgh, PA) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit BR3400 EX Looks and feels like the real leather bags on my v-star 1300 tourer. I have used the bag several times and it is stable and secure when used with the included straps. Wife loves the extra backrest pad which moves her foreward in the saddle just a little. I would reccomend for the look as well as practical space this bag provides. ken - March 22, 2012 (hendersonville, NC) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit Mr. Convenient storage pockets. Zipper tends to get hung up at times. Charlie - March 22, 2012 (Sedalia, MO) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit 3400 ex One trip with the combo bag. It is everything the company description says. Had no trouble. I rated it in middle as far as fit because the sissy bar wrap would not fit my road king passenger backrest pad so removed pad and changed the Velcro wrap pegs and worked good. joe - September 30, 2011 (moundsville, WV) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit 3400 ex One trip with the combo bag.

It looks great, Has plenty of room for a weeks' worth of clothing and supplies. Fit great over my sissy bar and the under the seat attachment works great. Easy on easy off. Attached rain cover is a nice touch. I purchased with a 10% discount from a previous order, made the price work for me. 6 days on the road was great. So much better than the soft bag I was using. Ed M - August 17, 2011 (Kendallville, IN) Fit Finish Durability Features Cost Benefit 3400 EX Combination Bag Great product. We recently took a trip to Florida (pre-purchase) and our friends both had the travel bag. We learned the hard way that your bag is the only way to travel. We are now using it on this trip.

The manner in which Hsiang and his colleagues have responded to the criticism has done little to defuse the conflict. They label the accusations levelled by their critics as "FHC" or "frequently heard criticism." They allow that some of the critiques "are quite reasonable" but say that others "stem from a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of what we are trying to do in the paper." Still others "are patently false." In comments to SPIEGEL ONLINE, one of the paper's co-authors, Marshall Burke, had struck a similar tone, saying that most critics are "misreading our paper" or didn't read it at all.
Even though the Hsiang team stresses they "are not trying to pick fights," their statement contains some pretty strong language. "The handful of climate/conflict sceptics have garnered a lot of press by very publicly disagreeing with our findings and this has presumably been good for their careers," the statement reads.
Scheffran believes that such verbiage is an attempt to "use the reputation of Science and many mass media outlets which adopted (the Hsiang team's) point of view to introduce a sharp dividing line into the debate." It is a strategy which "transforms into outsiders scientists who take seriously a relationship between climate change and violence but who decline to label it a universal phenomenon" -- despite their having merely questioned the study's methodology and its scientific fairness. But, he says, you can't simply end a scientific controversy "with forced consensus."
Hans von Storch, head of the Institute of Coastal Research at the Helmholtz Center in Geesthacht says the spat reminds him of the debate over the hockey-stick curve. The graph is iconic in climate research, a reconstruction of the climate over the last thousand years. It is supposed to demonstrate that temperatures have rapidly climbed since the beginning of industrialization. Although some doubts were voiced about the accuracy of some of the details in the hockey-stick graph, "an attempt was made to ward off such criticism for political reasons," von Storch says. A similar phenomenon can now be witnessed in the discussion over the relationship between violence and climate change, he says. "Political motivations are leading to a circling of wagons."
Von Storch, though, also says that the editors of Science are partially to blame. "The peer review process didn't work," he said. "You need critical evaluators, which apparently didn't happen in this case."
A spokeswoman for the journal, though, says that she sees nothing disadvantageous in the debate. "Science is a self-correcting process," she wrote in an e-mail. "Researchers publish work in the scholarly literature so that it can be further scrutinized, replicated, confirmed, rebutted or corrected. This is the way science advances."

Out and proud Australian diver Matthew Mitcham has been relaxing during the Olympics by playing some creative interpretations of Beyoncé songs on his ukulele.
Mitcham released a clip on his official YouTube channel of him playing a folk version of Beyoncé's Single Ladies, in response to a request on Twitter.
The clip was posted on Wednesday (1 August) and already has nearly 20,000 views and nearly 700 likes.
'I profess to be neither a great instrumentalist nor singer,' he says. 'I'm just an Olympic diver who likes to strum away in his spare time. I think this is where I am supposed to credit Beyonce or something…'
Mitcham, 24, is not competing in his 10-meter platform diving category until next week (10 August), when he'll being hoping to end China's clear run of diving golds, just like he did in Beijing in 2008.
We agree with YouTube commenter JohnGrai who says: 'Could you pause being multi-talented and excruciatingly attractive for five minutes. Yer putting the rest of us mere mortals to shame.'
We love you Matthew!

Today we got to take a look at Sony's PlayStation booth at E3 2015. Although the booth was not as robust as last year, they still had quality titles on hand for some excellent hands-on time.
Set for a late summer release, the next expansion for Destiny has been confirmed. As promised, this is going to be the biggest expansion of Destiny to-date.
The newest entry in the popular long-running RPG series Fallout has been announced by Bethesda, with more information to come during the E3 gaming conference.
The Xbox One has ended the PlayStation 4's sales streak by outselling the console for the month of April. Though Sony still leads in total sales, this could mark a promising turn around for Microsoft.
Sony has confirmed that it won't be holding its usual media briefing at Gamescom 2015 - but Xbox head Phil Spencer says Microsoft will be there, calling it "an important conference" for the company.
Sony has acquired the game streaming service, OnLive, and will look to integrate some of the company's intellectual properties with existing Sony products and services.
April is finally here and so are the new games for PlayStation Plus members. If you've been clamoring for something new to play, Sony has just unveiled titles for the PS4, PS3, and PS Vita.
After six years of odd existence, the PlayStation Home hub native to the PlayStation 3 has been suddenly shut down and removed through an auto update.
GTA Online Heists update is now live on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. The updates brings with itself a new game mode and an assortment of weapons and armored vehicles.
Sony has released a seemingly infinite list of games which are scheduled for a 2015 release, including Final Fantasy Type 0 HD , Dead or Alive 5 Last Round and Resident Evil Revelations 2 Episode 1.
Worldwide sales of the PS4 beat those of the Xbox One in Q4 2014, as they did throughout the year - but it seems that Microsoft has significantly narrowed the sales gap between its console and Sony's.
Sony Online Entertainment has been sold to a third-party investment firm, and the former Sony subsidiary will now make games for Xbox One, mobile and other platforms.
Sony has announced that it is closing its Music Unlimited service in March, replacing it with a new 'PlayStation Music' service, powered by Spotify, and coming to the PS4, PS3 and Sony Xperia devices.
Microsoft is poised to make 2015 the best year ever for Xbox through a large number of exclusive games and major software updates. Here's an early look at what's in store for 2015.
An 18-year-old man has been arrested in the UK, and computing equipment confiscated, as part of a joint investigation with the FBI into recent attacks against Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.
The PlayStation Blog has announced that the critically acclaimed first person shooter, Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition will be available on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita today.
Sony has announced a subscription program for the PlayStation Now service in North America, providing unlimited access to more than 100 PlayStation 3 games, for $19.99 a month, or $44.99 for 3 months.
A hacker group responsible for leaks on updated software tools for the Xbox One have now leaked some interesting facts about how Microsoft opened up the playbook on CPU availability for games in 2014.
After claiming responsibility to takedowns of both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network multiple times in recent months, Lizard Squad is becoming web mercenaries for hire.
In a new effort to increase the adoption, the South Korean tech giant is looking to push its Tizen based operating system to all of its 2015 Smart TVs.
Sony's game streaming service will soon be available outside of the company's ecosystem with PlayStation Now landing on Samsung smart TVs next year. Users will be able to stream hundreds of PS3 games.
Are an Xbox Live Games with Gold member or have you subscribed to Playstation Plus' annual services? Do you want to know how much money you have saved this year thanks to these services?
After hacker group Lizard Squad claimed responsibility for two Xbox Live outages last week, the same group has taken credit for bringing down Sony's PlayStation Network today.
EA is offering free games for every "modern" PlayStation console this weekend, including Mirror's Edge for the PS3 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted for the Vita.
It has been 20 years since Sony launched the original PlayStation, and to celebrate this they have come up with a limited edition PS4 using the original grey, colored logo and button symbol etching.
An EA executive has stated that Microsoft is catching up to Sony's PlayStation 4 in terms of sales, which is likely related to the Xbox One's recent price cuts and bundles.
Sony may be committed to being a games-first platform, but the company is set to roll out its new Playstation Vue TV streaming service in select test markets during the month of November.
It looks like Sony has managed to beat Microsoft when it comes to console sales for the month of September. The Playstation 4 has managed to outsell the Xbox One for nine straight months.
Turtle Rock Studios is following up its Left for Dead hit franchise with a new cooperative shooter. Confirmed for an October 30 launch, the Big Alpha test event will be only on Xbox One.
Sony outsells Microsoft in the next-gen console sales war for the month of August, but the Xbox One is on the rise.
No early reviews for 'Destiny' as Bungie opts to hold off reviews until after the game has launched so that reviewers can explore more of the game before publishing scores.
Advanced Warfighter borrows from the latest shooter innovations without ripping them off, making for the most exciting Call of Duty entry since the early Modern Warfare era.
Ever since we made the move into 2014, Microsoft has been playing from behind when comparing the sales of the Xbox One versus the PlayStation 4. Could September mark a momentum shift?
Sony has said that it will launch the PlayStation TV box - which includes the ability to play games via its PlayStation Now game-streaming service - in the US ($99) and Europe (€99) later this year.
Sony has posted on their PlayStation blog website that the newest update to the PS4 software will include the "Share Play" feature, which was first introduced at E3, in addition to many others.
Sony has confirmed that it will not support PlayStation Mobile on the newest versions of Android - with support ending at Android 4.4.2 - and no further devices will be PlayStation Certified.
The massive attack that brought down the PlayStation Network is not yet forgotten. Sony has finally agreed to a $15m settlement, mainly giving away free games and services to affected users.
Sony executives were exuberant upon learning of the Xbox One's $499 price tag at last year's E3 gaming conference, with a Sony saying it figured Microsoft would soon release a version without Kinect.
We are at E3 2014 and if you are curious what Sony's booth looks like, we have put together a gallery for your viewing pleasure and the showcase is massive this year for Sony.
Sony held its E3 press event on the evening of June 9th, 2014. Sony is betting on a lot of new titles that are unique and classified in their own genres. Sony also introduced sequels to popular games.
Weeks after Microsoft announced that it will sell the Xbox One in China from September, Sony has confirmed its plans to launch PlayStation there too, although it has not yet set a date for the launch.
Sony has announced that it will expand the private beta for its upcoming PlayStation Now game cloud streaming service to a few PlayStation 4 owners starting on Tuesday.
A U.K. man is sending the plays of William Shakespeare to a seller who scammed him out of £80 for a PlayStation 3 that was never sold. The catch? He's sending the plays via text message.
Sony has announced Jack Tretton, the President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, will depart the company March 31st. He has been with Sony's U.S PlayStation division for 19 years.
A new report claims that Sony will allow the PlayStation 4 console to run PS1 and PS2 games via local software emulation, while PS3 games will be accessed via the cloud-based PlayStation Now service.
The first reviews for both Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One are in, with many outlets assigning scores to the next-generation consoles. Which comes out on top?
Sony has released "PlayStation App" on the iTunes App Store and the Google Play Store which lets users interact with the PS4, PSN and PlayStation Store from supported smartphones and tablets.
A Reuters poll indicates a larger percentage of consumers are likely to purchase Sony's PlayStation 4 than Microsoft's Xbox One, with younger consumers even more likely to purchase the PS4.
Xbox executive Albert Penello believes that comparing the specifications of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is "in some ways meaningless", and that "it's not going to matter" in the long run
Now that Microsoft has announced the relaxation of its Xbox One digital rights management policies, what console will you end up buying this gaming generation?

Stacks makes RapidWeaver so much more flexible and add so many more possibilities. If you buy RapidWeaver you really need to get this at the sometime.
Stacks is an absolute must for RapidWeaver - a powerful easy-to-use plugin that makes building pages fun.
I did not get going with RapidWeaver until I discovered Stacks. The concept is absolutely flawless and in combination with RapidWeaver it is unbeatable. The community around Stacks is open, friendly and supportive. The Ecosystem that Isajah built around Stacks is simply amazing! My first ever website was only possible thanks to Stacks and RapidWaver.
Rapidweaver without Stacks just doesn't seem right to me... a must for any serious / semi-serious Rapidweaver user. Coming from a print design background, Stacks is the only way I want to build websites in Rapidweaver. Together with a good set of 3rd Party Stacks it's a must buy - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Stacks is the first add-on that every RapidWeaver user should buy. It makes building webpages so fun an easy.

Compile markdown into html using strapdown.js.
grunt task for strapdown.js
This grunt task does a very stupid thing: it takes a set of markdown files and inserts each of them into a html template, where strapdown.js takes care of all the rest (the parsing and the styling).
For example, this markdown file
# I Am So HungryI am so hungry i can eat an elephant.
will be converted into a
a# I Am So HungryI am so hungry i can eat an elephant.
(Something looks different about that
</xmp> closing tag, see FAQ below.)
Drop this
xxx.html into any static web server and open it from the browser, and strapdown.js will parse and style the markdown text for you.
Install this plugin:
npm install --save-dev grunt-markdown
Then enable it in your Gruntfile:
Here's an example config in coffeescript:
gruntinitConfig strapdown: all: src: 'src/**/*.md' dest: 'htdocs' theme: 'cyborg'
You can run this task with
grunt strapdown.
Follow the example config above, these are the options that the
strapdown task accepts:
src: required, pattern(s) to match markdown files.
dest: required, the directory where generated html files will be stored in.
theme: optional, defaults to 'cyborg'. See here for strapdown's bulitin themes and see bootswatch for more.
So what my markdown file didn't get parsed, it's just inserted right into the middle of a html template?
And then when I open the html from the browser, that
<script src="http://strapdownjs.com/v/0.2/strapdown.js"> tag is gonna get downloaded, and it's gonna do the parsing and styling for me?
So i have to download a js file from somewhere else, that sounds weird and slow, why can't i just host that js file on my own server?
You can, but it's a little bit more complicated, because strapdown.js is not just a js file. In order to parse and style the markdown text, this js file will dynamiclly load some other js/css files from strapdownjs.com. So you can't just host that single js file, you need to host all those other js/css files on your server, e.g. you need to clone this repo github.com/arturadib/strapdown.
(And also in this version the template path is not yet configurable.)
Oh, what about
</xmp> tag in the example? That 'x' looks different.

NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite program is one of several focal points in the agency's fiscal 2015 budget request.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's 2015 budget request emphasizes environmental intelligence, and includes increases for its data-intensive next-generation satellite programs and IT infrastructure upgrades to fully utilize the raw data the agency produces.
Overall, NOAA's budget request totals $5.5 billion, a 3.2 percent over its 2014 enacted budget.
The largest request for NOAA's five offices is the National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service, which manages the procurement, launch and operation of all civilian environmental satellite.
NESDIS would receive $2.2 billion under the budget request, an increase of about $165 million over last year's totals, with the lion's share going to the development of its two next-generation satellites. The Joint Polar Satellite System satellite is set for launch in early 2017, and the first Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite is on course to launch in early 2016. Combined, the next-gen satellite systems will cost about $22 billion. The first GOES-R satellite alone will produce 40 megabytes of data per second.
"NOAA is one of the most valuable service agencies in the U.S. government," said Kathryn Sullivan, undersecretary of Commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator.
The National Weather Service, NOAA's second-largest office, would receive $1.06 billion, a $3.9 million decrease from fiscal 2014. The decrease in funding will hinder some expected advancements in the NWS' predictive capabilities, including an $8 million hit to its Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project, "which will delay advancements in hurricane forecast track and intensity," according to budget documents.
Yet NWS will receive $6 million in additional funding for its Ground Readiness Project, which is designed to improve the NWS IT infrastructure. As it exists today, NOAA produces more data – and that data volume will grow significantly in the coming years – than NWS systems can process.
NWS will also get an extra $5 million to re-architect its telecommunications gateway, which distributes weather products to thousands of customers across the world. NOAA's transition to a new IT service delivery model for forecast offices in fiscal 2014 realized the agency $10 million in efficiency savings, according to the 2015 budget request.

Hmm Maybe Sony are taking notice of what people want and pushing developers to achieve something after all. If they asked/paid/backhanded for this or not it is a good idea.

The summer of 2012 was rather quiet for severe weather, especially in July. There was very little severe weather activity in the state following a few tornadoes in the Spring, including near Elysian, Kiester and Belle Plaine. Much of the state stayed dry throughout the Summer as well, other than the historic flooding in Duluth and a few other areas in June. Climatologist Pete Boulay says that most of the rest of the state stayed dry, with southern Minnesota precipitation levels 5-8 inches below normal by the end of August and northwest Minnesota at 1-3 inches below normal. He says that the New Ulm area had one of it's driest summers ever on record also, with just-under 5 inches of precipitation being recorded since June 1st.
Summer Weather Not Severe

Before buying these boots online, I read all the reviews and many of them reported that the color of the boots was not the same as on the website picture, I purchased the Chestnut color and the color is EXACTLY the same as on the website and the Bomber effect is very nice (I still don't know if it going to get away as quickly as the customer's comments affirm because I just got them since 1 week, but so far they are perfect). I hesitated so much between the original bailey boot and these ones, but I am finally really happy of my choice. I recommend it 100%

You gonna start asking me questions like "Was she attractive? Was she an actress?"
Baby the fact is
from Chris Brown – Don't Judge Me Lyrics on Genius
In relationships, sometimes women like to ask questions that they don't really want to hear the answer to.
While men often don't want to know anything about the third party involved in the unfaithfulness, women are commonly more inclined to want to know specific characteristics about the other person. They may want reassurance that this other person wasn't as good as them.
It plays on their mind until they find out exactly who that person is, or are convinced that they weren't as good as themselves.
Chris' opinion is that knowing isn't always for the best, sometimes ignorance is bliss. The fact is the fact but don't dwell on the specifics.

In Lincoln's Constitution Daniel Farber leads the reader to understand exactly how Abraham Lincoln faced the inevitable constitutional issues brought on by the Civil War. Examining what arguments Lincoln made in defense of his actions and how his words and deeds fit into the context of the times, Farber illuminates Lincoln's actions by placing them squarely within their historical moment. The answers here are crucial not only for a better understanding of the Civil War but also for shedding light on issues-state sovereignty, presidential power, and limitations on civil liberties in the name of national security-that continue to test the limits of constitutional law even today.

This recipe takes longer the first few times you do it, before you really get the hang of it. It is a bit of work, but trust me, it's worth it! Most likely, you won't have leftovers."

I made this for a clients dinner party, doubled the recipe and it was very well received. I used diced fresh tomatoes, not the cherry tomatoes but either way would be good. I also made my own basil pesto. Served with quartered Chia Pitas from Costco. It was a huge hit.
this is delicious. I cooked everything at about 375*f. it took a little longer for everything to cook, but gave me time to chop and mince everything else. I also omitted the olives and added about a tablespoon more green onion; my family LOVED it. Strongly recommend.

Gap insurance can give you vital financial protection if something happens to your car, but it could prove unnecessary and expensive for some.
We explain what car gap insurance is, and show you how to decide whether it is worthwhile for you.
Gap insurance is designed to supplement your car insurance and give you extra financial protection if you need to make a claim. It can be beneficial as even fully comprehensive car insurance tends only to extend new for old cover to vehicles up to 12 months old - and not all insurers do this.
This means if your car is written off or stolen after this period the most your insurer will pay out is its current market value.
As the value of most cars depreciates quickly once they're driven off the forecourt, you stand to lose a significant amount on what you paid originally and get left liable for any outstanding finance on your vehicle.
Essentially gap insurance for cars is designed to plug the shortfall between the amount your insurer will payout for a 'total loss' claim and either the 'real' cost of a replacement or the outstanding finance you have left to pay on your car. For example:
Without gap insurance (also known as Value Protection Insurance) you would have to make up the difference out of your own income or savings.
Gap insurance can be particularly worthwhile if you bought your car on finance or took out a loan to pay for it, as it would protect you financially if your car insurance payout isn't enough to clear the remaining balance. It can also be a good idea if you're leasing your car as again, you could be left liable to cover the cost of the remaining contract if your insurer failed to do so.
Essentially it's worthwhile considering gap insurance if it's possible that you could get left paying for a car that you no longer have, and that you couldn't afford to replace if it was written off or stolen.
If you have an expensive car that you know quickly loses value and you're concerned about being able to afford to replace it with an identical make or model if the worst happens, gap insurance could give you much needed peace of mind too.
However, it is not right for everyone; it's really only worthwhile if your policy costs less than the amount you are likely to claim on it. This means that those with cars that lose their value quickly are more likely to benefit from gap insurance than those with cars that retain their value well. As such it is a good idea to research the likely depreciation of your vehicle before you take out a policy.
There are three main types of gap insurance, they each offer different levels of financial protection so you need to decide which best suits your requirements before you buy:
RTI gap insurance covers you for the difference between a claim on your car insurance and the amount you originally paid for the car (the invoice price).
For example, if you write off a car you paid £25,000 for after 18 months, you may only receive £13,000 (its current market value) from your standard car insurance, leaving you £12,000 out of pocket. If you had a return to invoice policy you would be able to claim the £12,000 back to make up the difference.
Return to value gap insurance is equally suitable for those who buy a new car as it is for those who buy a second hand vehicle, but it's limited to those who've very recently purchased their car.
Vehicle Replacement Insurance makes up the difference between the amount you receive for a 'total loss' claim on your car insurance and the cost of an exact replacement, even if its price has gone up.
If you have a relatively new car this would mean you'd get a brand new replacement of the same make, model and specification as you had previously.
If that model had been superseded by a new version, you would get the latest car even if it was more expensive. If you had a second hand or older car, you'd get a replacement car that was as closely matched to yours in terms of specification and mileage as possible.
RTV gap insurance is designed for people who don't take out a policy immediately upon buying their car, but rather a few months down the line. It makes up the difference between the 'market value' payout you get from your car insurance company, and the amount your car was worth when you took out gap insurance.
This type of policy can be for cars bought new or second hand; however it cannot be taken out immediately (that would make it Return To Invoice insurance) so is generally only available to those that have owned their car for a certain number of months.
When you take out a return to value gap insurance policy the insurer will get an assessment of the current market value of your car from an independent third party. This is the most you will be able to claim for your vehicle on the policy.
For example, say you buy a car for £20,000. You then take out a policy 5 months later when your car is valued at £15,000. One year on from that you write your car off and receive £9,000 from your car insurance company (its market value at the time): your RTV gap insurance policy would pay out the £6,000 difference.
First of all you need to decide if you need gap insurance and if so, what type: return to invoice, vehicle replacement, or return to value? Once you've decided this there are a number of features that you need to look out for when you're comparing your options to ensure you get the right deal:
If you decide the level of cover you want from the features listed above and compare gap insurance quotes for policies that offer suitable protection, you'll be able to find cheap gap insurance that won't leave you high and dry if something does happen to your car.

The Raw and the Cooked: Adventures of a Roving Gourmandby Jim Harrison
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Jim Harrison is one of this country's most beloved writers, a muscular stylist with a salty wisdom. For over twenty years, he has also been writing some of the best food criticism around in fact, The Plain Dealer (Cleveland), in a review of The Beast God Forgot to Invent, praised its "great helpings of Harrison's expert, lush writing on food and wine."
Now, for the first time, all of Harrison's food writing is available in one volume. Any reader of Harrison's fiction is struck by the love for food, wine, and other sensual pleasures that permeates it and anyone who has read his essays and journalism has encountered a food critic unlike any other: unpretentious, witty, and unabashedly passionate. The Raw and the Cooked delivers the long-awaited complete collection, from his Smart and Esquire columns, to present-day pieces including a lengthy correspondence with French gourmet Gerard Oberle and fabulous pieces on food in France and America for Men's Journal.
"Where is the food book?" is a question that never fails to come up at Harrison's readings. The Raw and the Cooked answers that question with a nine-course meal that will satisfy every appetite.
"A rumination on the unholy trinity of sex, death and food, this long-awaited collection of gastronomic essays reads like the love child of M.F.K. Fisher and James Thorne on acid. Harrison...writes with a passion for language equal to his passion for good food....Harrison's palate, while refined, is refreshingly earthy....Equally recommended for the literary crowd and armchair cooks (although perhaps not for vegetarians)." Publishers Weekly
"It is impossible to pigeonhole this collection of essays they are about hunting and cooking, eating and drinking, and are written in a style that is simultaneously sophisticated and earthy....Most of us will never be lucky enough to share a meal with this 'roving gourmand,' but this volume provides a satisfying alternative. An essential purchase for all literary and culinary essay collections." Library Journal
"Jim Harrison is the...best food writer. Better even than John Thorne. Or Richard Olney. Or Jeffrey Steingarten. Or Ruth Reichl. All of whom are tremendous food writers....Harrison?s writing about food is truly a labor of love. He speaks from the heart, not the head. Or rather, from the gut." Ted Scheffler, Salt Lake City Weekly
"The author claims to be victim of 'one of a writer's neuroses not to want to repeat himself'; this collection, however, insistently reveals his pet phrases and anecdotes. Delightful in small doses, but too intense to be consumed in a single sitting." Kirkus Reviews
For the first time, all of Harrison's food writing is available in one volume. Any reader of Harrison's fiction is struck by the love for food, wine, and other sensual pleasures that permeates it--and anyone who has read his essays and journalism has encountered a food critic unlike any other: unpretentious, witty, and unabashedly passionate.
