Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Atomic is proud to present the 10th annivesary of Europe's premiere slopestyle competition, the Austrian Freeski Open. At its home resort of Kitzsteinhorn, the AFO will host the world's best freeskiers from the 7th to the 10th of March. Included in this elite group are Atomic's very own Elias Ambühl, Jossi Wells, and defending AFO champion Andreas Håtveit.
The Austrian Freeski Open is now an AFP world tour gold event reflecting a meteoric rise from its humble beginnings to one of the biggest slopestyle events of the season. Now in its tenth year, the AFO contest will be more competitive than ever with a field of over 120 athletes. Currently the race for the prestigious AFP world title is very open, and any athlete could take the title. With the level of competitive slopestyle riding currently progressing at a mind-blowing rate, it is certain that boundaries will be blown at Kitzsteinhorn on Saturday for finals. ATOMIC ATHLETES IN TOP FORM The season so far has been a season of highs and lows for the ATOMIC athletes. Horrendous weather has been a huge factor at many of the events of late, and the athletes have been on a very hectic schedule. However this hasn't stopped Elias Ambühl from absolutely slaying it so far, most notably winning gold at the Freestyle.ch, gold at King of Style and gold at Budapest Fridge. Fellow ATOMIC athlete Andreas Håtveit, and defending AFO champion has been a busy guy for sure this year. He is building a house and expecting a child, however he still managed to find the time win the Bronze medal at the X Games slopestyle earlier this year. Kiwi superstar Jossi Wells has also had his fair share of success so far, winning the gold medal at the London Freeze big air, as well as a the Bronze at the infamous X Games Big Air. Jossi is also currently ranked in 2nd place in the overall AFP world tour title with slew of early season podiums in New Zealand. ATHLETES HUNGRY FOR MEDALS ATOMIC athletes have had a long history of success at the Austrian Freeski Open. Andreas Håtveit won the competition last year, with Elias Ambühl in second place, Byron Wells in fourth and Ian "CHUG" Cosco in fifth. In 2010 it was Jossi Wells' time to take the Gold medal with a run that many people are still trying to emulate today. The year before, Elias Ambühl took the AFO Gold medal at the ripe young age of 16 years old. Needless to say, the ATOMIC athletes have always fiercely competed to get on top of the podium at the Austrian Freeski Open, and this year will be no different. On top of the well-known athletes mentioned above, a number of underdogs will be showing up to test the mettle with the big dogs, including Norwegian Gaute Silseth who you might know from the crazy Choaz Production edits, and American and 4bi9 crew member Nicky Keefer. It will be an enthralling competition with the established athletes looking to prove their consistency and the underdogs looking to break out in the big leagues. Make sure to stay tuned for the daily ATOMIC video updates from the field, which will give you the latest and greatest event footage, released on the same day at www.facebook.com/atomicskiing.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee gathered on Wednesday at a hearing of the health subcommittee to discuss the effects of the Affordable Care Act on jobs.
As a witness at the hearing, chaired by Pennsylvania Republican Joe Pitts, I testified that the new law will reduce employment in America, particularly for low-skill workers, because employers face a higher cost of labor.
Whenever possible, firms will substitute high-skill for low-skill labor, part-time for full-time workers, machinery for people, and refrain from hiring a 50th worker, which can make them liable for penalties.
Most people know by now that when ACA, also called "Obamacare" by its critics, is fully implemented in 2014, Americans will be required to buy insurance or pay a tax. Firms with 50 or more employees will have to offer affordable health insurance to employees, or risk annual penalties of $2,000 or $3,000 per full-time worker. No penalties are owed on part-time workers, those working fewer than 30 hours a week.
The basic health insurance plan required by the law is generous — and expensive — with no lifetime maximum benefit, no copayments for routine care, mandatory mental health and drug abuse coverage, and free contraceptives. These plans are more comprehensive than those provided now by many employers.
Democratic members contended that ACA would not affect hiring.
(1) Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) asserted that the new law doesn't interfere with job creation, because the economy has created 6 million jobs since the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Despite warnings, we've seen job growth, he said.
Five ways Warren Buffett invests that you don't
Warren Buffett's investment style has made him the most successful investor of all time.
(2) Under the new law everyone will be insured, so the uninsured won't flood the emergency rooms, leading to lower health care costs, said ranking subcommittee member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) Covering more people will lower the cost of care, so ACA won't raise employer costs.
(3) The additional cost of health insurance to employers due to the new law will raise the cost of wages by only 0.0003%, according to Linda Blumberg, an economist at the left-of-center Urban Institute who also testified at the hearing.
These arguments are troubling because they appear to show a fundamental lack of understanding about the effects of the law and how firms make hiring decisions.
Stay on top of the latest news in health care with MarketWatch's Health Exchange.
True, 5.6 million jobs have been created since ACA was signed in early 2010. That's only 155,000 jobs a month, on average, barely enough to keep up with population growth.
Despite February's strong job creation numbers, with 246,000 private-sector jobs created, the recovery has been weak. The economy has almost 3 million fewer nonfarm payroll jobs than at the start of the recession, in December 2007. The unemployment rate, 7.7%, is over two percentage points higher than the administration projected in January 2009, when President Obama proposed the stimulus.
The labor force participation rate, at 63.5%, is the same as September 1981, at the beginning of the decade when 11 million women moved into the labor force, before the start of the Reagan Revolution. This is the weakest jobs recovery since the Great Depression. It does not prove that ACA has no effect on hiring. If anything, it shows the opposite.

Despite openly supporting self-styled Jihadist "revolutionaries" seeking an Islamic theocracy in Syria, and Libya before that, the new socialist French government, with help from other Western powers, has also just launched a series of military attacks against Muslim rebels who seized control of northern Mali. The controversial operations, ironically, are being taken under the guise of fighting Islamic extremism. Meanwhile, Islamists in the region have vowed retaliation, saying the French attacks were killing civilians and promising to strike "at the heart of France."
According to French officials, the air-bombing campaigns targeting rebel strongholds throughout Mali are needed to prop up the embattled central government in the capital city of Bamako — a regime widely perceived as illegitimate after the nation's elected authorities were overthrown by rogue U.S. government-trained military officers. France's armed forces directly and openly intervened in the conflict late last week when rebels reportedly began another southward push after having declared independence in the north last year.
"We must stop the rebels' offensive, otherwise the whole of Mali will fall into their hands — creating a threat for Africa and even for Europe," claimed French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, attempting to justify his government's support for the dubious Malian regime and its out-of-control army. "Regarding France's direct involvement, it is only a matter of weeks. Later on, we can come as back-up, but we have no intention of staying forever."
The unilateral French intervention in Mali came after the United Nations Security Council voted last month on a resolution purporting to authorize an international invasion of the country. The UN and some of its member states are claiming to be concerned about a complex conflict marked by shifting alliances among rebels, and an illegitimate central government nominally in charge of the south that was installed by military strongmen after a coup in March.

Since being tenured in 2006, Jin Feng has not only continued to teach in the core curriculum of the Department of Chinese and Japanese (including taking over courses during her colleagues' leaves), and supervised MAPs and independent study, but she has also expanded into interdisciplinary team-teaching, with three interdisciplinary courses developed and taught with colleagues in other departments. She continues to revise and refine her regular courses and to innovate in her teaching techniques, including the use of technology, such as assignments that emphasize communication skills not only through writing and speaking but through creating media clips. She is particularly renowned for her deft handling of the challenging second-year Chinese-language courses, in which a great deal of vocabulary and grammar must be covered. This is the point where many students of Chinese lose heart and drop out; her students, notably, do not, and while admitting that the workload is challenging, they commend her skill at helping them manage the difficult work and achieve the progress needed to move to higher-level courses. Professor Feng has begun to publish in the area of pedagogy of Chinese language and culture.
Beyond the intensive preparation and revision devoted to her teaching duties, Professor Feng's record of scholarship is adventuresome and highly productive. Since receiving tenure she has published a second book in English, The Making of A Family Saga: Ginling College (2009), and published a scholarly translation (also her second) of the English-language autobiography of an early pioneer of women's education in China into Chinese, in addition to nine articles or book chapters in English and Chinese. She presents an average of three papers annually to scholarly conferences. Her current research project, exploring women's literature Web sites in Chinese—their literary features, their significance to contemporary Chinese culture and society, and the virtual communities they engender—has resulted in several peer-reviewed articles and conference presentations, important early contributions to the investigation of Web-based literature and popular romance literature, both emerging fields in literary studies. These will form the basis of her next book, for which prospectuses are under submission to major presses.
With the establishment of the Expanding Knowledge Initiative (EKI) Advisory Board, Jin Feng served as one of the first set of interdisciplinary fellows. She has also chaired her department three times, beginning as an untenured professor. In fact, she has been chair for half of her total years on the faculty at Grinnell. She has also chaired the Faculty Organization Committee and has actively contributed to the East Asian Studies concentration, the Rosenfield Program Committee, the Cultural Films Committee, and the Wellness Committee. In less formal roles, she has been a much-valued mentor to her colleagues both in and out of her department.

Hello, my name is Tomas and you have to be gentle to me, since this is my first post on this forum.
Anyway, to the point. This is what I am using:
Apache 1.3.24
PHP 4.2.1 Binary
MySQL 4.0.1 Alpha
Windows XP (Not sure if this will make a difference)
So, I follow EVERY step in the Installation files. Both for PHP and Apache.
Everything is working. I launch an Apache "Service". No problems at all. Infact, I am getting nervous from the lack of problems.
Now, I read an online tutorial about how to install php4 and apache. Those steps are pretty much exactly the same as in the install.txt files. And then there's a section where it tells me that: "Now, it's time to check and see if you have done it right"
Sort of anyways.
It tells me to write this:
<? phpinfo() ?>
in notepad, and save it as phpinfo.php
All said and done, and I have the file sitting in my apache/htdocs folder.
Still no problems to be seen.
Then, apparently, I have to open up my web-browser and type in:
in the address field.
I'm thinking "Ok, this sounds about right."
I do so, and expect wonderful things to happen.
When I press "Enter" IE wants to download the file phpinfo.php.
Not what I was hoping for, since the tutorial said that phpinfo would put out a lot of info in my browser.
Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Is the author of the tutorial correct? Or did he miss something in his tutorial, as in maybe I should have written something else than <? phpinfo() ?>
Here's a link to the tutorial, so you can check it out:

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
So here it is Sunday afternoon and I am experiencing writers block. So much happening and I just can't find the right topic to go off about.
That happens sometimes. Part of it is the fact that my computer is acting up again. This time it is the screen on my laptop. It was only a few months ago I had to replace the hard drive after I lost everything.
Now I am sitting here typing with one hand while I squeeze the screen in the magic spot so it will not start producing lines all over. Excuse me if I misspell a few things. Actually I type better one-handed.
I learned to type in as part of a mandatory class that all girls were expected to take. A few boys were part of the class, but they could take it as an elective.
We thought we were so state-of the-art back in the mid 70's because our school had both electric and "Selectric" typewriters. The "Selectric" ones had a ball instead of keys for the letters and was much faster.
I hated typing class. My teacher knew it, but exhibited enormous patience with me to get me through the class.
One day he decided to try and show us all why typing was such a valuable skill to have. He had us each write a passage in cursive and timed us for three minutes. We then typed the same passage for another three minutes.
Asking the class who had written faster than they typed, I was the only one who raised my hand.
Typing was also a chore because, if you made a mistake, you had to try and erase it with a typing eraser or start over again. I found out that typing erasers easily could grind a hole right through your work. You really had to start over again then.
As I entered the work force, many jobs required you to have a typing test on record. Even jobs that didn't seem to have much typing or need an especially speedy person to do the little they needed required the test.
My best timed test was taken when I had a cast on my right hand.
During the 80's I went back to school and home computers were still not very common. I asked my mom for a really cool typewriter that was able to correct whole words that were misspelled and had a spell check beeper on it.
One night about 2:30 am, while typing a friend's term paper for some extra cash, I thought I was going smash the thing with a sledge hammer because it beeped at me on almost every word. I was really tired.
I finished up college with the luxury of having access to work computers to type my papers on.
There is no typing class anymore. I think it is called keyboarding now and everyone is expected to take it. We pretty much write up our own things now. Our computers make it simple to misspell and correct every word we write if necessary.
Now we just need to keep the darn things running long enough to get our work done.
*#%#! machine anyway. I still haven't thought of anything to write.

|North Wilkesboro Landmark Burns
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 17 November 2013 07:06
Fire destroyed a North Wilkesboro landmark, one still in use last night when the fire broke out. It was a typical Saturday night at the North Wilkesboro bowling alley and skating rink—until fire was spotted near the rear of the 60-year old building. The 15 to 20 people inside the 324 Elkin Highway
landmark made their way out to safety while firefighters from every fire company in Wilkes—some saying 20 fire companies, converged on the scene. North Wilkesboro Assistant Fire Chief Kipi Hamby said that the fire started on the back, right-hand side of the building, a location where there were two propane heaters. That cause is still under investigation, waiting for the site to cool. The business was a total loss.

A recently married couple wave to the crowd as they participate in... News PhotoBestof,Bestpix,Couple - Relationship,Crowd,England,Horizontal,Leisure Activity,Lifestyles,Married,People,Topics,Topix,UK,WavingPhotographer Dan KitwoodCollection: Getty Images News 2013 Getty ImagesRYDE, ENGLAND - AUGUST 25: A recently married couple wave to the crowd as they participate in the 'Ride Out', which brings the scooter festival to a close on August 25, 2013 in Ryde, England. The annual event, which is organized by the British Scooter Rally Association and The VFM Scooter Collective, attracts around 6000 riders each year and has been running since 1980. The scooter in 1960s Britain was a fashion statement and the often heavily customized bikes, usually an Italian Vespa or Lambretta, became synonymous with the Mod scene. They provided an inexpensive mode of transport and escapism to an upwardly mobile youth at a time when public transportation stopped early. The Vespa was depicted on the cover of The Whos Quadrophenia album in 1973. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)

NORFOLK The Board of Education president at Norwood-Norfolk Central School said that based on a recent study that was done to explore merger possibilities among three schools, its something other schools could look at in the future.
A ton of information has been generated by those talks already. Some interesting statistics have been looked at and considered. The bottom line is its financially feasible for those schools. I couldnt see why it wouldnt be financially feasible for other districts as well, Jon D. Hazen told board of education members during their recent meeting.
A recent study indicated that creating a regional school at Heuvelton Central School for grades seven to 12 was the most viable option for three of St. Lawrence Countys smaller school districts. Approximately 150 people, including Mr. Hazen, attended a two-hour presentation that outlined merger options for Hermon-DeKalb, Heuvelton and Morristown central schools.
Like most other north country schools, those districts face dwindling revenue sources that have forced staffing and program cuts over the past several years.
Philip M. Martin, a consultant from Educorps, Albany, presented his findings in a 74-page tuitioning/merger study report that indicated the most feasible plan was creating a regional school for grades seven to 12, which would preserve all three districts for the lower grade levels.
The regional school would be housed in Heuvelton, which is centrally located among the three districts and has space available to accommodate the additional students, according to the report.
It could operate in one of two ways the creation of a new independent school district with its own board of education and superintendent, or a new district operating under the auspices of BOCES.
That option would be cost-effective for all three districts, partly because the number of teaching positions could be reduced from 50.4 to 38, according to the report.
Besides saving money, Mr. Martin said, a regional high school would provide an opportunity to expand course offerings, elective classes and extracurricular activities for students.
Merging the three districts into a single district was among the six options studied in the report.
That would generate an estimated $22.4 million in state incentive aid over a 14-year period, but each community would lose its identity as a separate school district operating its own elementary schools.
Another option involved having Hermon-DeKalb and Morristown pay tuition to have their students attend Heuvelton. This scenario would be financially beneficial for Heuvelton and Morristown, but not for Hermon-DeKalb, which would lose $1.75 million in foundation aid.
Mr. Hazen said he was curious about how many meetings officials from the three schools had before they sat down and explored the plan.
It was clear they were very early on in the discussions. Its not gone before the full board in any of the schools, he said, noting they were now at the point where they could discuss which scenario would work best for their district.
Theyre looking for a win-win-win situation, Mr. Hazen said.
What that study revealed could be used by any number of districts, according to the board president.
It wasnt just Hermon-DeKalb, Heuvelton and Morristown. Whats been done there could apply anywhere else using a template designed by the consultant, he said

When: Wednesday, September 21, 7:00 p.m.
Opponent: New Jersey Devils (0-0-0)
Here are the anticipated line combinations for tonight's game:
Del Zotto-Eminger
This team isn't messing around.
That's the crystal clear message coming out of Rangers' camp
these days as the team prepares for its first preseason game tomorrow night
against the New Jersey Devils.
New York will dress a lineup that includes: Henrik Lundqvist,
Michael Del Zotto, Dan Girardi, Brendan Bell, Steve Eminger, Tim Erixon, Dylan
McIlrath, Sean Avery, Brandon Dubinsky, Dale Weise, Andre Deveaux, John
Mitchell, Erik Christensen, Artem Anisimov, J.T. Miller, Christian Thomas, Ryan
Bourque, Shane McColgan and Carl Hagelin.
In other words, only players that either have NHL
experience, or top youngsters, most of whom are on the verge of breaking
The Traverse City Tournament was for evaluating Randy McNaught, Collin Bowman, Matt Rust and Jordan Hickmott. Camp and the preseason this year are for
determining which lineup gives the Blueshirts the best chance to win now.
Coach John Tortorella explained that he wants to see "six or
seven kids" in preseason games, mainly those that have a
legitimate chance at cracking the roster, but the majority of the players
at training camp may not sniff the ice during the preseason as Tortorella meticulously
combs through his very best bodies to see who can really help the team right
This team isn't messing around. It's the message that has emerged from the
Rangers' handling of the early camp injury issues of Artem Anisimov, Mike
Sauer, Marc Staal and Brandon Prust. Anisimov was in no pain, but doctors discovered an issue during his
physical and the Rangers immediately sent him for an MRI to make sure everything
was OK. Sauer tweaked his knee over the
summer and was held out of scrimmages until the team
was absolutely sure he was healthy. Prust underwent shoulder surgery at the end of last season but is still
being held away from contact because the Rangers know he can't avoid playing
his teetering-on-the-edge style and don't want to risk anything until it
counts. Staal experienced a concussion
last February and even though he's twice been cleared by doctors for contact,
the Rangers plan to keep him out for much of the preseason, at least. And the Rangers aren't even willing to wait and see with Staal, they're already hunting for another defenseman.
The Rangers' brass are well aware of the raised expectations
facing this club, but the expectations may be even higher within the
This team is taking training camp very seriously and the preseason
as strictly business. It's plenty early,
but the unspoken message from Ranger-land is being trumpeted loudly, this team
isn't messing around.
- Tim Erixon is obviously the most important youngster at camp
and is living
up to his billing, but it's also obvious that the team is thrilled with
rookie Shane McColgan. Director of
Player Personnel Gordie
Clark heaped praise on him at Traverse City and he's been noticeable again
at camp. He's going to get a look in the
first preseason game when the Rangers are dressing their true best
players. McColgan won't touch New York
this season, but that day may be coming sooner than later.
- Tortorella repeatedly affirmed that he
has to trust Staal regarding his concussion. He obviously wants Staal back on the ice, but
Tortorella knows the Rangers must treat this issue delicately. Still, you get the feeling Torts expects
Staal to be out there opening night.
- Tortorella also raved about
Carl Hagelin's skating, which continues to be the key to his game.
- The Rangers plan to cut
a significant number of players following Friday's game, also against the

The focus is on freshness, with limited-run ingredients (caught day of) transformed with techniques from Louisiana to Egypt. Mussels satisfy Spanish cravings with pasilla peppers while northwest clam chowder is decidedly American. House-made mushroom tagliatelle and Wagyu steak round out landlubber options.
...the best is the Wagyu flat iron steak ($24). Cooked rare to order, the meat was tender, with a rich beef flavor that paired well with its bordelaise topping, onion rings, mashed potatoes with cheddar and bacon, and bok choy.
Since the idea behind L7 is a place to get "an Anchor and an oyster", their 10-seat, red elm bar will sate the former by pouring six drafts (including Anchor, obvi) along with an extensive European craft bottled selection with German and Belgian lip-wetters like Hopf Dunkle Weisse, Dupont Monk's Stout, and Saison Duvel, but not Saison Duvall, as that could potentially make a Deep Impact on your liver.

Students who seek professional training in career areas such as alcohol and drug counseling, youth services, mental health, victim/survivor services, gerontology, and other social service professions will find the Human Services Department has a program to meet their needs. Current nation-wide trends are to upgrade the qualifications and education of human service workers. Kansas now requires a four-year degree in order to become licensed as an addiction counselor. The Human Services Department offers a program that meets this need as well as address the increasing demand for knowledge in all areas of human service.
The mission of the Human Services Department is to provide students with the knowledge and skills to become effective, ethical, and compassionate human service professionals who engage in creative approaches to social change and advocacy to meet diverse individual and societal needs.
One advantage that Washburn offers is small class size and thus more attention can be given to the individual student. Each student in the department is assigned a faculty advisor. Each semester students meet with their departmental advisor to plan their coursework for the next semester. The success of our majors in acquiring jobs in human service agencies is an indication of the strength of the curriculum at Washburn. Internships in a wide variety of human service agencies in the community provide students with a strong experiential learning opportunity during the course of their study. Internships are arranged in consultation with the faculty advisor. Field trips are an integral part of certain courses and may vary from visits to local agencies to trips of several days duration to human service conferences around the country.
The Department of Human Services is a Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board (BSRB) approved program for offering the educational requirements for both the LAC (licensed addiction counselor) and LCAC (licensed clinical addiction counselor). Students who complete the Addiction Counseling Certificate courses (and have a Bachelor's degree in Human Services or another helping-related field) will meet the educational requirements for the LAC with the Kansas BSRB. Similarly, students with an LAC who complete our MA degree in Human Services with emphasis in Addiction Counseling will meet the educational requirements for the LCAC with the Kansas BSRB. For information on applying for a license and taking the licensing exam, please contact the BSRB: http://www.ksbsrb.org/; Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board, 700 SW Harrison St, Suite 420, Topeka, KS 66603-3929. Phone: 785-296-3240; Fax: 785-296-3112.
The Department of Human Services is a NAADAC Approved Academic Education Provider for both the Bachelor's and Master's degree addiction counseling programs. Our provider number is APO-32. NAADAC is the association for addiction professionals at the national level.
Being a NAADAC Approved Academic Education Provider signifies that we have voluntarily opened our education programs for examination by an outside agency to ensure that our students are provided with a consistent, reliable and quality learning experience.
Due to our status as an Approved Academic Education Provider, the NAADAC Certification Commission will accept some course hours toward national credentialing. Please contact NAADAC for more information: http://www.naadac.org/; 1001 N. Fairfax St., Suite 201, Alexandria, VA 22314. Phone: 800-548-0497; Fax: 800-377-1136.
The Human Services major at Washburn will prepare students to work in fields that are focused on providing services to people. Students can work with many age groups: children, youth, or the elderly. Students may specialize in: addictions, mental health services, domestic violence, victims of crime, homelessness, at-risk youth programs, or gerontology.
As students complete the core courses in human services, they will develop skills in interviewing, interpersonal communication, individual and family assessment, group dynamics and community organization. Associate's degree students are required to complete two internships, while Bachelor's degree students will complete four internships in agencies related to their area of interest. The practical experience obtained during a Human Services internship will help the student implement and practice the skills necessary in their professional career.

A Three Mile Bay woman was sentenced Tuesday in Jefferson County Court to five years probation for breaking into a Mullin Street home.
Katrine L.

text: I hope i can explain this properly, I have generally played QL with my mouse sens quite high, resting my wrist on the edge of my desk. However i have been trying to play on a lower sens to try and improve my aim and this technique doesnt work. So I'm finding it hard to adjust as i don't have my wrist/arm resting on something, sort of like a pivot point. So I'm thinking of adding an extension to my desk for my elbow to rest on and act as a pivot. Do any of you guys play with your elbow resting on something or is your arm kinda free floating? Any advise appreciated.

But what are the booth companion regulations Chinese game makers must adhere to? And how does China Joy know which game companies are breaking the rules?
As the Global Times points out, the dress code bans bikinis and backless outfits. Miniskirts and hot pants cannot be worn below the hip, and underwear is required. That's right, underwear is required—a few years back, some China Joy booth companions appeared in outfits that appeared to be underwear free.
Game companies who employ booth companions at China Joy must sign contracts that they agree to the dress code. Failure to comply means the game companies could be fined or banned from future China Joy expos. To enforce these rules, show organizers send between 30 to 40 staffers patrol the show floor with digital cameras.
That's probably why when Li Ling appeared at the show in her skimpy outfit, the game company that hired her told organizers that the Ling brought the outfit to China Joy. Ling thinks she was thrown under the bus, telling the Global Times, "It was my job to wear this." China Joy organizers punished both the game company she worked for and the model agency.
"Some people just want to promote themselves at this event," Yu Kun, who works for the China Joy organizers. "Because adolescents make up our primary audience, we do not want to send them the wrong message."
Don't be surprised if China Joy's message next year is stricter regulations, more patrols, and even swifter punishment.

Im posting this in reference to a story on the 11pm news ( 10-12-09) where American citizens are being made to remove their American flags from display, in case they offend their ethnic community.
My husband and I feel this is a gross miscarriage of the civil rights of the American people and a blight against the Constitution.
People who come here from other countries, especially the poorer ethnic ones should be glad to be here and embrace the rights and freedoms Americans have enjoyed for centuries. We dont expect them to give up their religious beliefs. but they need to accept that we like to display our flag and if it is offensive to them to see it flying then they need not to be here.
I am an Australian citizen married to an American citizen and I proudly embrace my adoptive country and state over the last 10 years. Since my arrival here in 1998 we have flown both the American and Australian falg in our front yard and have had many compliments from people passing by. Many who actually stop and ask about the Aussie flag as some have never seen it before and were curious to its origin.,In 10 years we have never had a negative remark, and we have several families in our street who are not American born.
Every US household should be allowed the right to display their countrys flag with out fear of reprisal or the threat of being evicted form their rented homes.
Posted is a photo of our two flags flying proudly and we both feel a great deal of pride when we drive down our street and see them flowing in the wind. Only time they are'nt out is in extreme winter conditions.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has rejected Gov. Paul LePage's plans to cut health care coverage for more than 20,000 low-income Mainers.
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius denied the governor's request to lower the income threshold for Maine parents and to drop coverage for 19- and 20-year-olds altogether.
The former Republican-controlled Legislature voted to eliminate coverage for parents with incomes from 100 percent to 133 percent of the federal poverty level, along with 19- and 20-year-olds and seniors and disabled people in the Medicare Savings Program. The projected savings were $20 million.
In a letter, Sebelius did grant permission to reduce coverage under the Medicare Savings Program and for parents making between 133 percent and 150 percent of the poverty level.

Review by Gear Institute, added 8/8/13: Dream Gear
The San Juan might not have the rapids of the Grand, but you still need drybags. Enter a new line of water-keeper-outers from Aquapac, including the 2-, 4-, 8-, and 13-liter Drysack; 40L/70L Upano Waterproof Duffel, and 25L Wet & Dry backpack. The 40L Duffel worked perfectly for one of our most prized possessions: toilet paper (which, with eight along, we needed plenty of). Simply roll down the top closure and fasten the Velcro strip and Fastex buckles. The only knock against it and the larger 70L was that you lose a little space rolling the closure up enough to reach the Velcro fastener. The 25L Wet & Dry Backpack also proved a hit, especially on the hike up to the swimming hole at John's Canyon. Made from a tough TPU nylon outer, with waterproof, taped seams, it handled all the abrasive scrapes we could dish out while slithering up a crack to get to the traverse to the pool. It fit six beach towels for shivering children afterward, as well as a few brews for the escorting parents. Mesh side pockets fit water bottles and a camera, while an interior, lightweight roll-down dry storage sack inside (combined with the outer material's roll-down closure) let us separate wet stuff from the dry, and kept everything as dry as the ram bone the kids found in an alcove. The only knock: the hip belt was a bit hard to fasten. Move the receiver buckle more to the middle, will ya?
