Samsung recently announced, via a Press Release and a photo released on Flickr, that their range of Galaxy S smartphones have sold over 100 million units. The numbers isn't as big as it seems when compared to Apple's iPhone, but it is a big deal nonetheless.
In the world of Android smartphones, Samsung is a name that everyone has heard of. Samsung's range of Galaxy S smartphones are among the top Android devices. There's the Galaxy S, Galaxy SII and the recent Galaxy SIII. It was 2 years and 7 months ago, in May 2010, when the first Galaxy S device was launched.
Now, the company has sold over 100 million of these Galaxy S devices. Their latest and one of the top Android smartphones, the Galaxy SIII, has managed to sell about 40 million in 7 months. The Galaxy SII is also doing quite well and has sold over 40 million devices since its release.
Samsung Electronics' flagship Galaxy S series surpassed the accumulated sales record of 100 million units from the supply side in only 2 years and 7 months after its launch in May 2010.
Samsung's first Galaxy S device didn't sell much and was also the main infringing device in the Apple vs Samsung lawsuit. It sold over 24 million units globally. This is a huge deal for Samsung, as they are the only Android manufactures who are really making a lot of profit. Companies like HTC, LG and Motorola have all reported huge losses. The Galaxy SIII was very successful and is still doing very good. About 190,000 Galaxy SIII's are being sold everyday to consumers across the globe. Do you own one?

Don't flickering candles just go with Halloween? I love all kinds of Halloween lights and I have two types to share with you today.
I wanted to make these tin can luminaries - they've been on my mind for quite some time and finally this past weekend I tackled them. In my mind this was an easy project - the initial part was indeed easy, but then it got hard.
- Gather large cans and remove the label and clean the can, then use one to two coats of matte black spray paint. I prop the can on a piece of wood so I can spray and turn the can at the same time without creating fingerprints.
- Then you mark words with chalk (choose short words so you can see them fully on the can)
- Next, drill holes along the lines. This is where it got hard and I almost gave up. Tin cans don't accept holes easily, they are hard and round and the drill bit keeps slipping! Argggh. I stopped at one point because I was getting so frustrated and decided to go back to it later that day. This time I used a guide hole punch first for each hole, and then drilled the hole where the tiny guide hole was (make the holes in the indentations). I still had to use quite a bit of strength for each hole and the drill still slipped sometimes, but with my husband's help (he had to finish the last letter for me) we managed to finish - with my arm throbbing.
- Lastly I touched up the cans with another thin coat of spray paint to cover the scratches from the drill.
- Add votive candles and you're set!
If you don't want to bother with spray paint and drills, I have another, much easier option for you. The paper bag luminary:
- Buy orange or black treat bags at your craft store.
- Buy a Halloween themed hole punch.
- Punch along the top of each bag.
- Add a candle in a deep glass or add a battery candle for safety and - tataaaa - last minute Halloween decoration.

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 2009 Thirty-two specifications of attempted premeditated murder were preferred today against alleged Fort Hood, Texas, shooter Army Maj. Nidal M. Hasan under Article 80 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The UCMJ is the U.S. military's legal system for servicemembers.
Hasan allegedly killed 13 people - 12 soldiers and one civilian employee - and wounded 30 others at Fort Hood during a Nov. 5 shooting spree. He now is confined in a medical facility.
The alleged shooter was confronted and wounded by two civilian police officers posted on the base. One of the officers, Sgt. Kimberly Munley, was wounded during an exchange of shots with the suspected gunman.
Hasan initially was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder under Article 118 of the UCMJ. He has hired a lawyer.
As with the initial charges, the new charges are allegations only, and the accused is presumed innocent until proven otherwise, officials emphasized, noting that the investigation continues and additional charges remain a possibility.
Under Article 118, the minimum sentence if he's convicted is life with the possibility of parole. The maximum sentence is death. Convictions under Article 80 cannot be punished by death, and the article does not provide for mandatory minimum punishment. The article caps sentences of confinement at 20 years, except in cases of attempted murder.
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates appointed former Veterans Affairs Secretary Togo West and retired Navy Adm. Vernon Clark to lead an independent review panel that will examine the circumstances surrounding the Fort Hood shootings to see how potential future incidents could be avoided.
"We will look at policies and procedures that look at how we deal with servicemembers who may cause trouble or harm to their fellows," West said at a Nov. 24 news conference at Fort Hood.
The panel is to report its findings to Gates by Jan. 15.

Cuba Confidential by Ann Louise Bardach; Cuba Diaries by Isadora Tattlin
Cuba Confidential: Love and Vengeance in Miami and Havana
by Ann Louise Bardach
Random Home. 397 pp. $25.95
Cuba Diaries: An American Housewife in Havana
by Isadora Tattlin
Algonquin Books. 308 pp. $24.95
Any writer who has tried to sell a book proposal about Latin America to a New York publisher is familiar with the reaction—boredom, indifference, contempt, a gaze out the window to check on the weather . . . unless, of course, the subject is Cuba. Why this should be so is not hard to understand. Cuba may be among Latin America's smallest, poorest, and most rapidly decaying nations, but it is also the source of one of the longest-running engagements in our own culture wars. As two new books demonstrate, Cuba remains the stage for larger ideological batles, and even for the occasional second thought.
The central idea of Cuba Confidential is that, cold-war posturing aside, the Castro regime and the community of anti-Castro Cuban exiles in South Florida are best understood as the violently estranged branches of a single family. As the journalist Ann Louise Bardach explains, it is not just politics but bad blood that separates Fidel Castro from his former brother-in-law, Rafael Díaz-Balart, an eminence grise of the exile community, or from his one-time nephew, Lincoln Díaz-Balart, a Republican congressman from Miami and the point man for anti-Castro forces on Capitol Hill.
Another emblematic family quarrel of this relationship revolved around a five-year old boy by the name of Elián González, who in 1998 was fished out of the waters between Cuba and Florida after his mother and her boyfriend, along with several other adults, perished on a raft while making their way to the U.S. The boy's father, divorced from his mother but by all accounts involved with his son, demanded his return to Cuba, unleashing the most intense passion play between Miami and Havana since the revolution itself. Bardach emphasizes that such cases are far from unique; few Cuban-American families have escaped unscathed from the tragic events of the last forty years.
A regular contributor to the celebrity-mad Vanity Fair, Bardach is vaguely left-wing in her views but in no way an apologist for the Castro regime. As a matter of fact, some of her comments about today's Cuba are among the most devastating I have ever read. As she aptly writes of the octogenarian ballet diva Alisia Alonso, the woman can "barely walk" but, "like her country, she insists she can dance." Bardach points out that Castro has deliberately turned aside many opportunities to normalize relations with the U.S., and she even claims to have confronted him with the remark that if the greatest "achievements" of his revolution are "education, health, and sports," its signal failures have been "breakfast, lunch, and dinner."
At the same time, however, Bardach subscribes to the regnant ideology of American journalism: that Communism may be bad, but anti-Communism is much, much worse. Her argument, such as it is, is that the leadership of the Cuban exile community has turned Miami into a kind of fascist state, enjoying a strange impunity from American justice, especially with the Bush dynasty in the saddle. Her indictment—a pastiche of baroque details—is rich in half-truths, near-truths, and untruths, as well as the occasional fact. She speaks pejoratively of those—Jeb Bush, Jeane Kirkpatrick—with whom she disagrees, while treating apologists for Castro, like the U.S. National Council of Churches, as neutral arbiters.
Bardach freely admits—indeed, she emphasizes—that Castro's revolution has been a monumental disaster for Cubans on both sides of the divide. But, having demonized those who have escaped his grip, she cannot say what their attitude should be toward a regime that has sundered families, destroyed careers, and sent unnumbered thousands to their deaths, either in the shark-infested waters of the Florida Straits or on foreign battlefields fighting for world Communism. As her own account demonstrates, as long as Castro is in charge, and as long as the U.S. continues to take roughly 30,000 dissatisfied Cubans off his hands each year, the festering resentments of the exile community will not die.
Like Bardach, Isadora Tattlin is an American woman who harbors vaguely left-of-center ideas. But there the resemblance ends. Tattlin (probably a nom de plume) is married to a businessman of unstated European nationality (a Frenchman, I deduce) whose work in the mid-90's required his transfer from Bangladesh to Cuba. She, her husband, her two children, and their Bangladeshi nanny lived on the island for more than three years. Cuba Diaries is the journal of her residence, an account by turns hilarious and sadly revealing.
In Tattlin's telling, Cuba is a pitiful place, reduced to near-starvation—all foodstuffs in her house have to be kept under lock and key—while the infrastructure inherited from pre-revolution days and the golden years of the Soviet subsidy crumbles. Her daughter cannot take swimming lessons because the pool is polluted, or dancing lessons because the floor of the studio is splintering. There is no water—none at all—at a tourist hotel where she and her husband stay on a weekend getaway. Cuban medicine, one of the supposed triumphs of the revolution, is depicted in the person of the country's leading dermatologist, who after a cursory examination of her daughter, then suffering from peculiar growths on her skin, pronounces the girl "Normal!" In some schools there is one book for an entire class to share.
Tattlin's Cuba is a place strangely isolated from the outside world, with none being more cut off, it would seem, than some of the main figures of the Communist nomenklatura. She tells of a leading member of Cuba's National Assembly—Castro's rubber-stamp "congress"—who informed her over dinner that 40 percent of Americans have sex with animals. He admitted he had never been to the United States, but had "read a lot."
Indeed, Cuba is so pervasively backward, Tattlin reports, that even the most committed political pilgrims have been forced to notice. Two Communist visitors from her husband's home country declare themselves "shocked—shocked—by the condition of Havana, by the low level of intellect of many of the officials they have met, by their lack of information, by the outright senility of some of the older officials." They tell her, with touching indignation, that a dissident they have met—in this case, as in so many, a former Communist militant who had called for reform of the system and ended up with a long prison sentence—had his telephone disconnected immediately after their visit and was called in by the political police.
During her residence on the island Tattlin was in an excellent position to evaluate attitudes toward the U.S. On the one hand, Cubans were being told almost daily that an American invasion was imminent. At Pinar del Río, the country's westernmost province and the one closest to Florida, she observed extensive excavations under way—tunnels and bunkers intended to shelter Castro and his associates when the 82nd Airborne finally arrives. On the other hand, when Cubans discover she is an American, it is to them "a source of surprise and delight." A Danish tour guide tells her that, in the area he travels, almost half the people long for annexation to the United States.
For Tattlin, Cuba is best classified as a "cootocracy"—"bearded, fragile, isolated, in ill-fitting clothes, unchallenged, long-fingernailed, muttering to itself, obsessing about the reality of 40 years ago." Fidel Castro's sole remaining asset, she suggests, is the hostility of the U.S. government. "The most senseless thing about" the sanctions imposed by America's Helms-Burton law, she tells a visiting and typically misinformed American anchorman, "is that it is only helping Fidel and the hard-liners."
On their way to Cuba, Tattlin and her husband stop to speak with someone from his company who has previously served on the island.
"But what is the basic problem?" they ask him.
"Fidel is an old man that can't admit he's made a mistake."
"But surely," they insist, "it can't be as simple as that."
"Oh yes it can."
What both these rather different books confirm is that, having destroyed Cuba's sugar industry, lost its Soviet patron, cast thousands of its most productive citizens into prison or exile, and embraced an economic system that does not and cannot work, Castro has been reduced to living on residuals from the domestic and foreign branches of the hate-America club. But how much longer?

A real ball park? Arlington? Maybe you don't know this or understand how hot, mostly dry air works but ... THE BALL FLIES!! It is not a mistake that players hit a ton of HR's in Texas, leave and never replicate their HR's.
Here is a tidbit for you ... You can blame the Republicans for supporting the 1% but guess what. They pay more taxes then you, they pay almost 90% of the countries tax revenue and Obama-care is CHEAPER for them! The middle class will pay the most and see the largest increases of costs under Obama-care, NOT the 1%.
Physicians are in favor? Really? Where? http://www.examiner.com/article/83-of-doctors-say-they-might-quit-over-obamacare-according-to-new-poll
Huffington Post -- 57% against Obama-care
Kaiser Poll -- 31% polled supported Obama-care, 64% against Obama-care
Gallup Poll -- 55% against Obama-care.
There is a difference between a poll if Obama-care should be repealed and a poll showing support for Obama-care. A lot of people want i the subject to just go away.
Obamanation -- If you want to live in a socialist nation, YOU LEAVE. Feel free to pack up your trailer and move to Canada where national healthcare is a right. Oh yeah and by the way .. you will still come back to the US for most things since the wait in Canada is over 6 months!
Maybe you don't get it so I will explain it to you. Elected officials are supposed to do the will of the people. The liberals including the President and Nancy Pelosi ignored the fact that 65% of the people in this country do NOT want Obama-care and pushed it through. BY TRYING TO REPEAL OBAMA-CARE THE REPUBLICANS ARE DOING THEIR JOBS. Once again .. 65% OF THE COUNTRY IS AGAINST OBAMA CARE. Do you get it now? Obama needs to go along with the rest of the tax and spend Democrats. I'm not a Romney fan (he is about as close to a Democrat as a Republican can get) but he cant be worse than Obama.
You are exactly what is wrong with this country. you spew out comments and have ZERO clue what you are talking about. The middle class can kiss the *** behind? Are you serious? Here is an idea .. look at numbers, tax and debt. Taxation is higher (rates aren't but overall percentage paid is), the national debt has increased 35% if 3.5 years. Look at the TRUE unemployment rate. What that means is include people whose unemployment benefits have expired. Little secret .. it is at the HIGHEST point since the great depression. Look at what the TRUE cost of Obama-care is. The WSJ states that families categorized as "middle" class will be hurt the MOST and pay the largest increases. but you think Obama is good for middle class? Seriously man ... EDUCATE YOURSELF and ask yourself .. Am I better off now than 4 years ago. The answer is NO.
I believe you are incorrect. The program was re-newed under Obama and Holder but the tracking portion of the operation was halted.
It was started in the Bush era, it was NOT botched in the Bush era. Under Bush the weapons were tracked, monitored and never lost. Under Obama they stopped tracking the weapons but continued the program. THAT IS THE ISSUE.
There is no "didn't actually cheat" .. IF he used prior to 2003-2004 he did NOT cheat. There were no rules in baseball against steroids, NONE. In 1998 when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were chasing the HR record there was an interview with Andro sitting in the locker behind McGwire. Did baseball suspend him? Did baseball punich him? Did baseball say a word? NO BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AGAINST THE RULES EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOW. As for your comment that he got off because he was the lesser of 2 scumbags .. No. You do not get a not guilty verdict in under 11 hours with that thinking. The fact was the only proof was McNamee claims. The same McNamee whose wife stated under oath was lying, who was caught in a lie on the stand and who is a convicted sex offender. Yeah you trust him, good luck with that.
Read his statement prior to commenting and you will understand. --- "what they did was when they were on drugs. period. my kids and their friends took down and threw out anything related to bonds, clemens, etc.. and would never look at anything in a hall of fame bldg if they ever made it. they don't count their records for anything. " .. The point is drugs are drugs ... -- As for your comment, performance enhancing or not, they were NOT AGAINST THE RULES.
Also tell me .. how is it "obvious" he was doped up? I would love to hear this ... they person who can tell that someone is "doped" up. Doctors cannot do it but you can .... tell us how. Tell is what PROOF there is that Clemens did anything? Where is the drastic weight gain? Where is the drastic improvement in stats? Where is the PROOF? All you have is a man claiming that Clemens used, a man whose wife stated was lying and that's all that you need? As I said, steroids were not banned in baseball until 2003-2004 and therefore no one who used prior to that cheated. Sorry.
He did play after 2004 .. AN HE PASSED EVERY STEROID TEST AFTER 2004. There are ZERO allegations of him using anything after 2004.
Are you kidding? You have hundreds of players from the 1960's to 1980's that used amphetamines and they are in the hall. Have you read books about sports, including baseball in the 1980's? Cocaine was all over clubhouses and those players are in the HOF .. isn't cocaine illegal too? You have Ty Cobb who might be one of the WORST humans to ever grace this planet in the hall and your argument is he got steroids illegally? So using your logic there shouldn't even be a pro basketball Hall of Fame because the NBA doesn't test for marijuana (because the ENTIRE league would fail) and marijuana is illegal? Its real simple ... breaking a law is NOT cheating. Breaking a SPORTS rule IS and steroids were NOT banned until 2003-2004.
I am sick and tired of hearing people say he cheated. There is ZERO proof that he used steroids, ZERO and a court of law just stated as much. Even if he did use, baseball did not ban steroids until 2003-2004, baseball borderline ENCOURAGED players to do whatever necessary to put up stats and 100% knew what was going on. If it was NOT against the rules it was NOT cheating.
Same question to you ... HOW DID HE CHEAT? Steroids were not illegal in baseball until 2003-2004 so, HOW DID HE CHEAT?
So I take it your kids don't watch basketball, NBA or Syracuse, because almost EVERY player smokes marijuana and that is a drug? The fact is steroids were NOT against the rules when these players played and therefore the use of them should not result in a penalty unless the player used after 2003-2004. Using your logic almost all the players from the 60's-80's should be removed because of amphetamine use (which was almost universal across sports).
How exactly did he "cheat"? You realize that steroids were NOT against the rules in baseball until 2003-2004, right? Therefore as I said, even if he used steroids, HOW DID HE CHEAT?

HOUSTON - John Calipari has a good reason for calling his
Memphis Tigers a "Dream Team" - a kid from Chicago who wears No.
23 and makes plays that bring fans out of their seats.
With freshman Derrick Rose soaring and scoring, Memphis ended
two years of regional final failure and routed Texas 85-67 Sunday
to reach the Final Four. The victory backed up the Tigers'
season-long reign near the top of the poll and made them the third
No. 1 seed headed to San Antonio.
Rose scored 21 points, outplaying Texas star D.J. Augustin and
leading the Tigers (37-1) into a national semifinal Saturday
against a UCLA team making its third straight Final Four

I arranged to have a party at Camaje last weekend, with 35 guests ranging in age from 8 to 68, and everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the wines were wonderful, the owner and staff couldn't have been more accommodating. The next day, every adult guest called, e-mailed, or texted to tell me how much fun they had, how good the food was and how friendly and helpful the staff was. I highly recommend having a small to medium-size party at this quaint, romantic spot.

Very impressed with the service and food.
Posted by Sheri on 10/30/2009
I've dined at Camaje a number of times and have always had a great meal, and courteous service. I love the relaxed, cozy ambience reminiscent of old world Paris. The Kobe burger is wonderful and the fries are hard to beat. The salads are fresh and plentiful, and the crepes delicious. Try a shrimp, spinach and goat cheese crepe. The light creme sauce is perfect with it. The caramelized Bananas with roasted chocolate dessert crepe is ridiculously yummy. Perfect that it's braised in dark chocolate. Overall- a wonderful little restaurant.

Dark Dining was a fun experience, but I hate to say it was not worth $120 each. We loved relying on our other senses and experiencing this four course meal with our noses, ears and hands. We discovered the intense tastes of each bite and found it interesting to try to identify familiar tastes while blindfolded. (We also found our fasha and listened to a loud sound snap shot of the room.) The food was good, but like other reviewers stated, Camaje has VERY small portions. The wine and other parings were pretty good too. We left Camaje happy we had tried dark dining, but still a bit hungry. Overall we really liked the evening, but wished it had not cost us $280 once the tax and tip were added. I am not sure if I would recommend it because of the small portions and BIG price.

We've eaten here pretty regularly over the past few years, because we enjoy the atmosphere and the service. But it has become so frustrating, we may stop going. The past six or seven times we've been, they've been out of something (a dish or an ingredient) that we wanted from the menu. We can understand restaurants running out of things on occasion. But it's happened a ridiculous number of times now. The quality of the food which used to be very solid has also become very inconsistent, which is a shame when you're spending over $20 for an entree. Both problems seem to have started around the time the owners opened a new restaurant in Brooklyn, so we can't help but wonder if that has something to do with it: maybe they're stretching themselves too thin? We hope they can figure things out and go back to being the great little neighborhood spot they used to be.

The food has always been good here but the other day I had a pumpkin soup that knocked my socks off. No need to order this dish at other places since it was that good.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/18/2008
First off I ordered a chickpea and goatcheese salad. While the salad was fine, it took me 15 minutes to get my dressing. Being that the place was very busy, I let this fly, but not the next 2 things. So for my entree I ordered a Kobe beef hamburger with french fries and my bf ordered a ham panini. After about 35 minutes of waiting, our food finally came. Ravenous, I took a bite into my burger and knew something was wrong-it was dry, not juicy, and totally well done and overcooked. Keep in mind that i did ask for it medium rare. Secondly, the french fries were COLD, unappetizing and tasted like cardboard. Starving as I was, I thought some ketchup would do the trick, but after 15 minutes of no ketchup to cover the taste of the food I just gave up. I couldn't eat anymore of my meal and neither could my bf whose panini was pathetically small and we asked for the check, which took another 20 minutes to come. After finally getting out of here, we headed over to 5 guys burger where i finally was able to have a decent meal. In the end, I would not recommend that you come here. There are so many other great restaurants in the city and to waste a night here would be so ridiculous. There is only 1 waiter working here and the food is subpar. Plus, the atmosphere is nothing to brag about either. Overall, this was a bad dining experience and I will never come here again.

WORCESTER, Mass. - Senior forward Tyler McGregor (Ajax, Ontario.), a member of the men's ice hockey team, has been selected as the 2005-2006 Crusader of the Year. The award was presented at the 52nd Annual Varsity Club Dinner, held at the Hogan Campus Center on Saturday, May 6.
A team captain, McGregor earned third team All-America honors this year, after leading Holy Cross to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament with a 4-3 overtime victory over Minnesota. The Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year and the Atlantic Hockey Sportsmanship Award winner, McGregor led the Crusaders in goals (26) and points (54) this season, while he was tied for second on the team in assists (28). His 0.68 goals per game ranked him sixth in the country, while his 1.42 points per game were seventh nationally.
McGregor also scored 13 power play goals this year, to tie the school single season record and rank fifth in the nation. He concluded his Holy Cross career with 70 goals and 67 assists for 137 points in 143 games. McGregor is tied for 15th all-time at Holy Cross in points and is second in games played.

LAS VEGAS, Nev.---Chattanooga Mocs (2-5) senior Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.) scored 20 of his game-high 23 points in the second half, but it was not enough to turn back a hot-shooting Morehead State (6-2) squad. The Eagles shot 72.3 percent (34-47) for the game to turn back the Mocs 88-75 in the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational.
Mason had a sensational shooting night of his own hitting eight of 10 shots including three of four beyond the arc. He scored 11 points in the first four-and-a-half minutes of the second half to cut the lead to five, 55-50, with 15:32 to play.
Morehead State answered Mason's start with a 10-1 run for a 14-point advantage, 65-51, on Billy Reader's layup with 12:05 to go. Mason's tip-in of a Lance Stokes (Orlando, Fla.) miss at 10:23 made it a 10-points game, 65-55.
But that's as close as it would get. The Eagles scored on six of nine possessions to take control of the game. Kareem Storey's layup at 5:55 stretched the margin to 20, 77-57. The Mocs battled back with Gee McGhee's (Baton Rouge, La.) three-pointer late providing the final score of 88-75.
"Their point guard (Storey) is a good player," Chattanooga Head Coach Will Wade said. "He first signed with Utah of the Pac-12. We were able to turn him over a couple of times and frustrated him, but we couldn't keep him out of the paint.
"Our half-court defense seemed to get driven on from any spot," Wade continued. "We gave up too many easy looks to them. Morehead is a really good team. They are the second best team we've played. I thought we did some good things, but we didn't do enough. You can't give up that many easy shots and expect to win."
Angelo Warner led MSU with 22 points, while Billy Reader came off the bench for 21 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Storey added 16 points, and Chad Posthumus chipped in 11 points and seven boards.
The Eagles had a 29-17 advantage on the glass, in part because of their shooting display. MSU shot 82.6 percent making 19 of 23 in the second half.
Chattanooga posted its best shooting night against a DI opponent this season. It made 50.9 percent from the floor, 57.1 percent (16-28) in the second half. McGhee had 18 points and five assists, while Greg Pryor (Memphis, Tenn.) added 10 points.
The Mocs take on IUPUI in first game Friday. Tipoff is at 3:30 p.m., Eastern time. Listen live on ESPN 105.1 FM the Zone in Chattanooga. Links to audio (free) and live stats can be accessed on GoMocs.com, and fans can follow @GoMocsMBB on twitter for live updates.

On July 1, 2012, the Iowa Legislature passed changes to the Iowa Code that affected the evidence of financial responsibility for commercial pesticide applicator businesses. In order to be issued a license, commercial pesticide applicator licensees (businesses) were required to provide proof of financial responsibility for a minimum amount of $250,000 for property damage and $250,000 for public liability, each separately. On March 28, 2013, the Iowa Code was amended again. The amount of the evidence of financial responsibility was changed to $100,000 for property damage and $100,000 for public liability, each separately, or liability insurance with limits of $100,000 per occurrence and $300,000 annual aggregate. Certificates of insurance meeting the new minimum requirements will be required to renew commercial pesticide applicator licenses for 2013.
For additional information refer to the IDALS Pesticide Bureau website or call 515 281-5601 for commercial pesticide applicator information.

A design solution for Atlanta bridges and traffic-weary drivers

Along with landmarks like Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta is synonymous with traffic. Long lines of vehicles — 300,000 per day — winding through Interstate 75/85 are staples in the city's landscape. So are the concrete bridges that traverse these five miles of highway. What if these exchanges could delight and inspire drivers?

It seems like August is the month that most will finally be getting Android 4.0, and if new rumors are correct it looks like Motorola RAZR owners could soon be joining the party.
An unconfirmed report by GSMArena suggests the device will be getting Ice Cream Sandwich today, but there haven't been any reports from users corroborating this fact just yet.
I should clarify that this is not regarding Verizon's Motorola DROID RAZR, but rather the international version without the DROID moniker.
But none of that will matter if this rumor doesn't end up being true so let's wait until we can get some confirmation before getting all giddy and whatnot. If you have the device be sure to check for the update throughout the day and report back if you're able to pull anything down.
