2007 Chevrolet Impala Sedan LS 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I have had my 2007 LS since new, I use this as my business vehicle and have over 218,000 miles and I have had very few issues. Brakes have been replaced twice, a few headlight bulbs have been replaced and two belts as preventative maint. I love this car and i am currently getting ready to purchase a 2011.
2007 Chevrolet Impala Sedan SS 4dr Sedan (5.3L 8cyl 4A)
I have never owned anything outside of Chevrolet for over 30 years. Although I am 56, I still enjoy the performance aspects of a vehicle, but love the room of a sedan. I thought the 2007 Impala SS would be perfect. Although I loved the car when operating correctly, it left me dissapointed more than it should. The first issue was getting locked in park (this happened twice) because of a wire breaking in the console. Secondly, the steering shaft had to be replaced because of a "clunk" when stopping and starting. The straw that broke the camels back for me with this car, was an issue I had with the trasmission. You could take off, and it felt like a manual with the clutch slipping.
It would then abruptly go into gear, feeling like it was hit from behind. I had this fixed once, and a month or so afterwards it started it again, only not happening all the time,but sporadically. The dealer said they couldnt fix it unless they saw it doing it at the dealership. I contacted Chevrolet, and they wouldnt do anything about it. I was fortunate, that with the 5 year/100,000 mile warranty, I never had to pay for these repairs. Unfortunately, the warranty was quickly running out with 4 1/2 years elapsing, but only 48,000 on car. I cut my losses and got rid of it. Its a shame, because it was a car that I could love if it had been dependable
2007 Chevrolet Impala Sedan LTZ 4dr Sedan (3.9L 6cyl 4A)
I bought this car brand new in 07 it now has 96,000 miles. I have had my key get stuck in the ignition, the car has been stuck in park, my traction controll kept coming on while driving (very dangerous), i have vent acturators that makes i clicking noise for about 3min when you start the car or turn it off or change the setting on the AC. The heater only warms up while moving, my tires ware down about every 20 to 30k miles no mater what type you buy. I currently have a oil leak and transmition leak and now it is real hard to break. I have taken in to break check and they said the pads & fuel are fine. My battery has died 3 times so far. I have had it serviced at 50k & just now.
The car has very nice looks inside in out.
2007 Chevrolet Impala Sedan LT 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
Wow,if you live in a cold weather climate,ice and snow you would swear this car has 4 bald tires,suspension problems,GM has a TSB for this car in the Police version,no difference in components from my car,at 19k tires are shot worn on inside edges,alignment was so far out car was undrivable,after 4 tires and new alignment,sem,i driveable,needs $700 in new suspension parts,GM says pay pay pay,this company should have gone out of business,still putting junk on the road,if you like amusement park thrill rides this wreck is for youif you buy one get AAA to haul you out of the ditch,intermediate steering shaft replaced at 16k,rotors warped and cut at 16K
The air freshener hanging from the mirror
Go out of business!!!! stop putting a death trap like this on the road.
The heater does not work when you are at idle speed. The shifter jammed up for no reason. Screw came out of driver and passenger seat that holds molding to seat, customer support is aweful. Windshield wipers went awry for no reason. Wiper fluid bottle is too small. Hydroplanes when you hit a puddle of water...the front bumper is too low to the ground causes the hydroplane effect as if you are hitting a small hill. Very very dangerous when driving at 35 plus miles an hour. Gas cap is faulty causes the engine light to come on. Engine light malfunctions the remote starter!!
Sun roof
recall this lemon immediately!!

A future dictator's guide to disrupting protests
Watching the small-town cops of Ferguson play GI Joe with their Army-surplus machine-guns is scary enough -- but what happens when the tech-smarts of Google trickles down to the Barney Fifes of America? Tom Craver speculates on tomorrow's dissent-suppression tactics, and offers some countermeasures.
I was watching the Google I/O 2014 keynote video in which a couple protesters interrupted things, and that got me thinking how that probably irritated Google. I don't know if Google would -- but what might an organization with hefty technical chops do to render such disruptions ineffective?
We have only to look to the perverse idea of 'free speech zones' to find examples of others who will likely be eager to apply any technologies that help give them more exclusive control over the flow of information. If some 'bad guys' acquire some of the tech savvy of Google, how might they go about suppressing the speech of protesters? What new technologies might protesters use to disrupt official presentations?
Noise cancellation quickly comes to mind - capturing voices and projecting 'anti-sound' to make a speaker or protester unintelligible if not inaudible to most their intended audience. This might work well if a protester jumps up in a public forum where the organizers control the sound system. Get a microphone up close to isolate the protester's voice, filter out other sounds, and generate the out of phase anti-speech to silence the protester. It wouldn't be perfect -- but mixed with already louder amplified speech from an official speaker, it might be sufficient. Audible disruptions would be kept brief, and no more last defiant shouts would be heard as the protester is dragged from the room.
A related tactic that would work when a speaker's voice can't be cancelled would use delayed audio feedback to induce confusion. Hearing one's own voice with about half a second of delay will cause most speakers to pause and stutter and sound foolishly incoherent. This method may also work on groups of demonstrators trying to chant in unison, if played loud enough to be heard over their chant.
False flag chanting is a slightly more devious technique, and can be a low tech approach to protest disruption. Protests are often only loosely controlled by their organizers, making it fairly easy for skilled provocateurs to get inside the protest group's command and control by applying the OODA method. Agents in the crowd could start chanting catchy slogans that nominally seem to match the protesters' cause -- but make the protesters who pick up the chant sound ill-informed or potentially violent.
But suppose the protesters are too well organized to allow in agents, or arrive unexpectedly. In that case the false flag chant tactic might be applied more stealthily using ultrasound beamed sound that can only be heard in a small spot, to suggest a chant to an enthusiastic protester. The sound beaming technology could be turned on an individual speaker in combination with the half-second delay tactic. Protesters are less likely to take media coverage away from their target, if their representatives seem inexplicably incoherent, while in the background their crowd is reciting stupid or vicious chants. A politician subjected to the 'speech confusion ray' might appear senile or inarticulate to potential voters.
Could a couple hundred smartphones held by protesters be synchronized by a clever app to create a sonic phased array, to target confusing sound at official speakers, or perhaps painful sound at riot police? The positioning and timing precision required may be beyond today's phones, but with future mobile devices optimized for the overlay of augmented reality gaming on the real world -- as Vernor Vinge portrayed in 'Rainbows End' -- an app to do these things may become practical.
On the topic of augmented reality, Microsoft's Illumiroom technology seems applicable in this field. It measures a room to generate a 3D model, which is used to modify projected video to eliminate any distortions from projecting onto a non-flat surface. This appears to work best in dark settings and for a fairly small viewing area. To me, that sounds similar to a darkened theatre, as seen from the speaker's podium. How would an audience react to a speaker that keeps stopping to stare at distractions in the audience that no one else could see, or perhaps ducks to hide behind the podium from some threat only the speaker can see?
If the 3D mapping portion of Illumiroom technology can be accelerated to real time, it should also be possible to project imagery onto a speaker. Subtle shadows might be projected onto the speaker's face to alter their apparent facial expression, making them appear angry or inappropriately amused. Manipulating shadows could also make a politician look very old and unappealing. More simply, graffiti might be projected onto speakers to make them look foolish. Protesters' signs might also be obscured or even modified to read as the opposite of their intent, no matter how vigorously they are waved. Potentially, a technique analogous to the anti-sound technique might be applied, to make protesters nearly vanish from the sight of their intended audience -- projected invisibility.
So is the point of this article to educate 'the bad guys' in how much more they could be doing to suppress protest and confine free speech? Or to give protesters new ideas to torment 'the man'? Both outcomes may happen -- but more likely it is only a matter of time before technologies such as these are independently applied or invented. Perhaps take it as a challenge -- how would you detect and counter these high-tech, free speech disruption tactics?

Western Animation: The Loud House
The Loud House is an upcoming animated series created by Chris Savino. It is slated to air on Nickelodeon in 2016. It is the 37th cartoon in the Nicktoons brand.The series follows the adventures of Lincoln, the only boy in a large family with ten sisters. Savino has stated that the series was based on his own childhood.The series was chosen from Nickelodeon's 2013 Animated Shorts Program. You can see the pilot for the series here.Here's also a sneak peak from San Diego Comic-Con 2015.
Tropes Pertaining to the Series:
- Alphabetical Theme Naming: All the kids' names start with L. In addition, all the girls names (or nicknames) have four letters in them, whereas Lincoln has more.
- Alliterative Name: The Loud family. Lincoln Loud, Luna Loud, Lola Loud, Lori Loud, etc.
- Artistic License Biology: The chances of having eleven kids and only one boy are statistically improbable.
- Big Sister Bully: Lori, the oldest of Lincoln's sisters.Lori: Beat it, twerp.
Lincoln: Come on, Lori, no fair! I was here first!
Lori: Well, I was born first.
- Black Best Friend: Clyde
- Boyish Short Hair: Luna.
- Brainless Beauty / Dumb Blonde: Played straight with Leni, but subverted with the other blondes in the family.
- Child Prodigy: Lisa, who has already graduated from college with a PhD at age 4.
- Cool Big Sis: Luna is established as one in her first appearance in the pilot.
- Creepy Child: Lucy Loud.
- Diaper Check: Lily's basic schtick.
- Early Installment Weirdness: Lola mentions Mom in the pilot, but in the actual series they don't have a mom.
- Emo: Lucy.
- Establishing Character Moment: Every one of the sisters gets one in the pilot, all in under two minutes.
- Eureka Moment: Lincoln in the pilot; after Lori beats him to the bathroom and starts to panic about holding it in, he gets distracted by the smell of Lily's dirty diaper.Lincoln: Ugh, that stench can clear up a room. (realization) Clear up a room!
- Fourth Wall Observer: Lincoln.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: In the pilot, to get Lori out of the bathroom, Lincoln uses his baby sister's diaper on a hockey stick to drive her out. Of course, with the door closed, the look of the situation (Lincoln was half-naked), and the choice of words Lori uses, it sounded like it could have be "something else".
- Hidden Eyes: Lucy's eyes are hidden behind her Blinding Bangs.
- Invisible Parents: Lincoln and his sisters' parents, at least in the pilot.
- Limited Wardrobe: In Lincoln's bedroom/closet, you can see identical orange t-shirts hanging from a clothesrack.
- Living Prop: Lily, which is a given, as she's a baby and can barely talk.
- Massive Numbered Siblings: The focus of the show is the main character living with his 10 sisters.
- Middle Child Syndrome: Lincoln is right smack in the middle of his sisters.
- While his sisters have actual bedrooms, Lincoln's is actually a closet. But while the girls have to share their rooms, Lincoln is the only one who gets his own space.
- Odd Name Out: All the girls have four letters in their names, but Lincoln doesn't.
- Offscreen Teleportation: Lucy has an uncanny ability to do this, often spooking the living daylights of whoever's nearby.
- Outnumbered Sibling: Lincoln is outnumbered ten to one.
- Passionate Sports Girl: Lynn.
- Polar Opposite Twins: Lana and Lola.
- Shout-Out
- Lincoln has a Great Mazinger figure in his room in the pilot.
- The brand of Luna's amplifier is called Sterrett, a nod to comic artist Cliff Sterrett, whose work is an influence on the show's art style. He also provides the namesake of the family's cat.
- Speech Impediment: Lisa speaks with a lateral lisp.
- The Smart Girl: Lisa.
- The Stoic: Lucy (all the time) and Lisa (most of the time).
- The One Guy: Lincoln is the only boy in his family.
- The Trickster: Luan.
- Toilet Humor: The pilot for the series focused on Lincoln attempting to use the bathroom, followed by Lincoln using his Lily's dirty diaper to chase Lori out.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: All he girls have varying degrees of masculinity and femininity, but Lana and Lola are the most obvious and centralized examples.
- Tomboyish Ponytail: Lynn and Luan.
- You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Lincoln has white hair, which only occurs if one dyes his hair or is an albino. Though the creator implied that it wasn't always that way.
- Youthful Freckles: Lincoln, Luna and Lynn have these.

The present invention relates to a read/write arrangement for Contact Probe Storage (CPS) arrangements and the like, wherein a heater is used to heat a medium and modify its topography so that data bits are written thereinto, and wherein a read sensor arrangement, which is based on a FET (Field Effect Transistor), responds to changes in distance from a substrate that supports the medium and emits an electric field, induced by the modified topography.
It has been hitherto been proposed to sense data which is written onto a movable medium using a probe that is supported on a cantilever and used to contact movable the medium. A heated element (heater) is provided in the cantilever proximate the probe. The heater is heated by passing a current of electricity therethrough. By using heat transfer characteristics between the movable medium and the probe (or a portion of the cantilever in which the heating element is formed), it is possible to determine minute changes in distance between the movable medium and the cantilever on which the probe is carried, and to use this as a means for reading out the data stored on the movable medium.
The heater in the cantilever can be used for both reading and writing. The reading function uses a thermal readback sensor arrangement which exploits a temperature-dependent resistance function. In this arrangement, the resistance (R) increases nonlinearly with heating power/temperature from room temperature to a peak value of 500-700� C. (writing). The peak temperature is determined by the doping concentration in the heater platform, which ranges from 1�1017 to 2�1018. Above the peak temperature, the resistance drops as the number of intrinsic carriers increases because of thermal excitation.
During sensing, the resistor is operated at about 200� C. This temperature is not high enough to soften the polymer medium, as is necessary for writing, but allows molecular energy transfer between the cantilever on which the probe is carried, and the moving medium, to remove heat and thus provide a parameter which allows the distance between the cantilever on which the probe is carried and the medium on which the probe is running to be measured.
That is to say, this thermal sensing is based on the fact that the thermal conductance between the heater platform and the storage substrate changes according to the distance between them. The medium between a cantilever and the storage substrate, in this case air, transports heat from from one side the heater/cantilever to the other of storage media/substrate. When the distance between heater and media is reduced as the probe moves into a bit indentation, heat is more efficiently transported through the air and the heater's temperature and hence its resistance decreases. Thus, changes in temperature of the continuously heated resistor are monitored while the cantilever is scanned over data bits, providing a means of detecting the bits.
Under typical operating conditions, the sensitivity of the thermomechanical sensing is even better than that of piezoresistive-strain sensing inasmuch as thermal effects in semiconductors are stronger than strain effects. A ΔR/R sensitivity of about 10−4 /nm is demonstrated by the images of the 40-nm-size bit indentations. This is better than the results are obtained using the piezoresistive-strain technique.
Nevertheless, the thermal response has been found to be slower than desired and is significantly slower than the cantilever's ability to mechanically follow the data pattern written in the medium. This leads to the system's read performance being slower than it would be if it were not limited to the thermal response of the sensing system.
The probe 104 is formed on the end bridge member 100C. The probe 104 is formed using suitable masking and etching or the like type of fabrication technique can be formed so as to be at least in part electrically non-conductive.
Layers of activation material 106 are disposed on the arms of the cantilever 100 to control the flexure of the cantilever toward a medium 108 which is movable with respect to the cantilever 100 or vice versa. The activation material 106, however, is not limited to the use of intrinsically stressed material and can be alternatively formed of a piezoelectric material if so desired.
The medium 108 is comprised of a layer of heat deformable material such as polycarbonate or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) for example, which is formed over the surface of a suitable support substrate. The medium 108, which in this case is non-conductive, can be heated locally to write data by fusing and changing the medium topography to the degree that the changes can be detected using the probe 104 in the manner depicted in
Although the topography is shown as comprising a series of data recesses or pits 108A, these can be replaced with humps (not shown) or a combination of pits and humps. It should be noted that the formation of pits may also form associated bumps in the process. Bumps will typically be formed as the regions where no pits are present.
Thus, when the medium 108 or the cantilever 100 has been moved relative to the other to assume an exact coordinate relationship, the cantilever can be moved toward the medium. In the event that a pit 108A (or isolated hump) is located under the probe 104 in the manner schematically depicted in
Additionally, the bits may be coded such that a particular change from one state (pit, hump or flat surface) to another state would indicate a bit and other states or changes would indicate the lack of a bit. The invention can use other coding techniques employed in contact storage device detection patterns or other responses that are predominant in the response of the sensor-media systems.
The topography of the medium 108 is thus such that the distance or gap between the medium 108 and a cantilever 100 on which the probe 104 is formed, varies. This distance variation allows a FET (field effect transistor) which is formed in the cantilever 100 proximate the probe 104 and which is generally denoted by the numeral 114 in this embodiment of the invention, to respond to changes in the electric field which is generated between the substrate 110 and the cantilever 100 and thus modulate a signal in the form of a current which passes through the FET 114 in accordance with the amount of clearance between the medium 108 and the cantilever 100.
The sensor circuit 112 is also arranged to be responsive to the change in current passing through the FET 114 and thus detect the change in distance between the cantilever 100 and the substrate 110. In the embodiments of the invention, a heater 116 is circuited with the FET 114 and is arranged to be supplied power via conductive traces or lines which are formed in the cantilever 100 such as by doping (ion implantation or the like) and which are common to both the heater 116 and the FET 114.
A first embodiment of the invention is schematically illustrated in
The resistance of the heater 116 can be controlled by controlling the doping concentration with respect to that of the traces on either side which are more heavily doped and thus more conductive. As will be appreciated, the probe 104 itself can form part of the heater to facilitate localized heating and fusing of the medium 108.
The cantilever 100, in this embodiment, is formed of silicon which has been masked, etched and doped in a known manner to produce the illustrated configuration and electrically conductive lines or traces 114A, 114B, 114C and 114D. These traces define the source, drain and channel of the FET 114 as well as the circuit via which the heater 116 is operated.
In addition to writing, the heater 116 can also be used to heat and induce softening and reflow of localized areas of the medium to smooth out and erase a data indicative recess or hump. Needless to say, the heater must be maintained in proximity to this portion of the medium but with the probe 104 out of contact therewith.
The change in distance between the portion of the cantilever 100 in which the FET 114 is formed and the medium which occurs in the manner depicted in
The FET 114 is formed only long the lower portions of the cantilever 100 and is formed only in the portions of the cantilever 100 that actually move in response to the probe encountering a topographical change. The formation of the FET 114 on the lower surface of the cantilever facilitates production, provides a greater W/L ratio, and a greater sensor area and gain. The formation of the FET 114 on portions of the cantilever which do not undergo much movement are avoided to avoid contribution to DC current and noise.
Since the probe 104 moves over/contacts an electrically non-conductive medium 108, the modulation of the current passing through the FET 114 is due solely to the changes in the electrical field which are produced between the cantilever 100 and the substrate 110 which of course must be sufficiently conductive to allow for the required electrical field to be established.
During the read mode of operation, trace 114A, which extends continuously along both legs 100A, 100B and across the end bridge 100C, acts as a common drain while traces 114B and 114D act as sources for what is essentially two halves of the FET. Features 114C, is in this embodiment, form channels which separate the drains and sources of the FET arrangement.
The bias applied to the substrate 110 gates the FET allowing current to pass through the two channel portions 114C which are formed. Current flow between the common drain and the two source halves is used to derive a read signal. Since traces 114B and 114D are both used as "sources" during this time, no current flow through the heater 116 occurs.
During the heating/write mode of operation, the bias to the substrate 110 is lowered to the point where gating of the FET does not occur. At this time the roles of traces 114B and 114D are changed so that one acts as positive terminal for the heater 116 while the other acts as the negative terminal. Electrical current therefore induced to passed through the heater 116.
The switching arrangement which allows this change between read and write modes of operation is well within the purview of the person of skill in the art of electrical controls and thus no further discussion will be given for the sake of brevity.
The FET 114 shown in
As shown in
With this embodiment, a good sensor bandwidth can be expected inasmuch as the electric field responds as fast as the cantilever can move. The FET is thus able to respond quickly to the variations in field strength and has the potential to make the mechanics of the cantilever the limiting factor in the bandwidth. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) for this arrangement can be expected to be improve as compared to the above-mentioned thermal type sensor in that, with the latter, much of the useful signal is filtered out by the thermal lowpass function.
Since the FET is capable of producing gain, the sensing aspect of the embodiments can be expected to produces a relatively large output signal with respect to the various noise sources and thus reduce signal degradation due to these noises.
While the embodiment of
With the heater 216 interposed in the illustrated manner, the outboard traces both act as drains for the FET 214 while the inboard traces act as sources during the read mode and are switched in the same manner as disclosed in connection with the first embodiment shown in
The switching between the reading and writing mode is achieved one by operating the source and drain at voltages such that the FET was turned on partially. This places the channel in a state of medium conductivity where there would be a lot of voltage drop across it. Assuming that the substrate potential was fixed, the source voltage could be set to a value to establish the "on resistance" of the FET and the drain could be set to a voltage to cause the desired amount of power to be dissipated.
With this technique however, the power density in the channel may tend to be too high and the control of the FET may require accurately controlled voltages and the like.
Conversely, during the sensing phase, the bias to the substrate 110 is elevated to level wherein the FET can be gated and thus rendered conductive (thus exhibiting a resistance of 1000Ω for example). During this time, the high resistance of the heater (e.g. about 3500Ω) effectively directs a majority of the current flow through the FET 414 and the temperature of the heater falls to essentially ambient levels.
Although the invention has been disclosed with reference to a limited number of embodiments, the various modifications and variations which can be made without departing from the scope of the invention, which is limited only by the appended claims, will be self-evident to those skilled in the art of Atomic Resolution Storage (ARS) and Contact Probe Storage (CPS) technology. For example, while the second—fourth embodiments shown in

Proposition 34 Election Results: Death Penalty Repeal Goes Down in Defeat
California voters chose not to repeal the death penalty, Proposition 34.
Los Angeles County voters actually voted to end the death penalty, backing Proposition 34 by a wide margin of 1,191,545. or 54.04 percent Yes, to 1,013,477, or 45.96 percent No. But the local vote was not nearly enough to overcome statewide sentiment as a half-million more No than Yes votes poured in on Election Night.
Proposition 34 failed 4,269,535, or 47.2 percent Yes to 4,776,815, or 52.8 percent No.
The defeat will be a hard one to swallow for its champions, the American Civil Liberties Union and Amnesty International among them.
Here in Los Angeles, some will be cheering the proposition's defeat: the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs and Los Angeles Police Protective League donated $20,000 and $10,000, respectively.

20 Jul 2014 08:25 GMT | War & Conflict, Middle East, Iraq, ISIL
The Islamic State group has claimed it carried out a wave of car bombs in mostly Shia areas of Baghdad which killed at least 27 people.
In a statement on Sunday, the group said it killed and wounded 150 people in the attacks on Saturday, a figure far in excess of the state's estimate.
It named two suicide bombers involved in the attack as Abu al-Qaaqaa al-Almaani and Abu Abdul Rahman al-Shami, fake names that suggested the men were German and Syrian.
The first bombing took place in the Shia neighbourhood of Abu Dashir, where a suicide attacker drove a car packed with explosives into a checkpoint, killing at least nine people and wounding 19, officials said.
Live Box 201471121759854996
Four policemen were among the dead, a police officer said.
Later in the day, three car bombs went off in the districts of Baya, Jihad and Kadhimiyah.
Police sources told Al Jazeera that the car bomb in Kadhimiyah killed nine people and injured 20 others.
Hospital officials in Baghdad confirmed the casualty figures in all of the attacks.
Baghdad has seen few attacks compared to the violence in other areas hit by the Islamic State's offensive last month, though bombs still hit the city on a fairly regular basis.
The army and allied Shia fighters are trying to push back the Islamic State fighters who have swept through northern and western Iraq to within 70km of Baghdad.
The rebels fought off an army offensive to retake the northern city of Tikrit on Tuesday. The army was forced to pull back south of the city on the banks of the Tigris.
Islamic State's claims
Intense fighting has raged for days northwest of Tikrit around a military base known as Camp Speicher, once one of the main US headquarters.
Islamic State wrote on an affiliated Twitter feed on Thursday it had shot down two helicopters during a battle around the base.
Live Box 20146196311744332
The fighting has exacerbated a political crisis in Baghdad, where Nouri al-Maliki, Iraqi prime minister, is trying to form a government in the face of opposition from Sunnis, Kurds and some Shias, three months after Iraq held a parliamentary election.
Iraq's Shia leaders as well as Western powers have pressed politicians to overcome their deadlock and agree on a new unity government to help tackle the insurgency and prevent Iraq from splitting down ethnic and sectarian lines.
The civilian toll in Iraq, mainly from fighting between government forces and the Sunni-led rebels, this year has been huge.
At least 5,576 Iraqi civilians have been killed since January, when Sunni-led rebels spearheaded by an al-Qaeda offshoot now known as Islamic State, overran the city of Falluja in the western province of Anbar, the UN said on Friday.
The UN said more than 1.2 million people have been displaced this year. More than 600,000 of them have fled their homes since early June.

text: If you've watched Milan's downward spiral in terms of performances this season, and especially if you've seen Napoli's results spiraling upwards, then tonight's loss should not surprise you. You might even say Milan got our just desserts. The score, however, was like kicking a man when he's down, with the own goal just another kick in the face. But as usual, the defeat is nothing in comparison to the rhetoric of Milan fans on the interwebs. It's hard enough to lose a game like that, but when your fans toss around hyperbole and call for everyone's heads on platters, it's just embarrassing. It was a very poor game, a logical step based on our recent performances. And certainly with fans like this, the team must feel like they've been annihilated.

The Bull Case For Spain-WSJ 0 commentsJun 11, 2012 10:34 AM
This article outlines some of the upside opportunity in Spain. Their problems primarily reside in the banking and private sectors but this weekends bank recapitalization should help things considerably. It will be interesting to see how credit markets react to the deal but my gut feeling is that it will be positive. I think there will be more problems to come and a more permanent solution is needed, but it's a step in the right direction.
