After losing the spotlight to a pack of rascally Rabbids, Ubisoft's limbless hero made a stunning comeback in 2011 with Rayman Origins, considered to be one of the best games in the series. The follow-up, Rayman Legends, was originally designed around the Wii U game pad, but after a last-minute delay, it's been retooled as a multiplatform release.
Rayman Legends is practically devoid of story. While the heroes were sleeping, someone came and kidnapped the blue folks known as Teensies. So it's time to get out of bed and get to work rescuing them. Instead of a map, levels in Rayman Legends are presented as a series of galleries. As you complete them and rescue Teensies, more locations and bonuses open up, soon allowing you to tackle most of the game as you'd like.
Your actions are focused on running, jumping, and attacking, mastering character control with nuance and precision to tackle the deviously designed courses ahead of you. Like Origins, secret challenge rooms aren't that hard to find, typically hidden above or below the beaten path or behind a bit of scenery, but the game isn't about exploration as much as skill and timing.
Each of the five main worlds not only introduces fantastic new settings, but also reintroduces Origin abilities like shrinking to explore the innards of rotting fruit and mechanics like sticking to the shadows in undersea stealth sections. There's a rhythm and flow to the level design that makes it immensely satisfying. Harrowing chases put reaction times to the test, and the apex of the game's design comes in a handful of music-based levels in which every, jump, hit, and slide lines up with the beat of a song. As you get into a groove, a Guitar Hero-like drive kicks in. So it's not enough to simply finish these levels, you have to retry until you get every note right. It's just too bad that these stages end up being rather brief in the end.
Friends can easily drop in or out at any time for four-player mayhem. If a player gets hit or left behind, they'll turn into a bubble and need to be tagged backed in, so you won't die unless everyone inflates. There's no unintentional collision between characters, although you can still slap and form towers. So Rayman is slightly less chaotic than Mario, but it can still be hard to keep track of the action. As a result, the deliberate refined pace of the solo game becomes a steamroller of players brute-forcing their way through a level, and half of you might not even understand what happened.
In contrast, the addition of asymmetric co-op via the Wii U game pad only serves to complement the game design, and it's the most effective use of the tablet controller yet. In certain levels, a second player takes the role of Murfy, using the touch screen to cut ropes, move objects, draw platforms, and harass enemies. There's a back and forth between the two roles that creates a harmonious sense of momentum.
When you're playing solo on the Wii U, there are times that you'll swap roles with Murfy as the AI handles the hopping hero, but for all the other systems without a game pad, the co-op mechanics are added to your single-player responsibilities. As you approach ropes to slash or strong men to tickle, Murfy will glide to those spots automatically, and you'll tap a button for him interact. Where a player would draw paths, Murfy will fly in a circle, and you'll hold the button for him to draw as he goes. It's another layer of timing to learn, and it can be tough in fast tricky sections. It works for the most part and adds to the challenge, but it doesn't always flow, often reminding you that you're juggling two roles. Thankfully, if a second player is available, you can still delegate the job to them as they can bubble up and float above the fray, focusing exclusively on managing the Murf.
While you can beat the game after completing about 50 levels, there's much more to keep you busy beyond that. Invasion courses have you revisit most of the previous levels, but with significantly different arrangements of obstacles and enemies, challenging you to beat the clock before Teensies strapped to rockets get launched skyward. There's a world of bonus levels to unlock, and by earning lucky tickets, you can even return to remastered versions of Rayman Origins levels.
Rayman Legends also lets you test your skills against other players in Daily and Weekly Challenges. Some task you with collecting batches of floating lums as fast as possible; some have you race to a finish line; and others present endless levels that test how far you can get without dying. Your accomplishments are then ranked on a leaderboard, but the thresholds for success depend on the competition. So you could start with a platinum trophy in the morning only to get knocked down to gold or silver if enough players best your score by the end of the day. While the templates for these levels do get somewhat familiar, it's still great to be able to take in a fresh trial day after day.
If there's one thing for certain, it's that Rayman Legends is an absolute feast for the senses. The art and music are superb with layered backgrounds popping with creative touches. What's even more impressive is how the hand-painted appearance of the 2D visuals is blended with 3D models and effects that remain in touch with the style. Towering bosses don't feel out of place, and the environments are augmented with fluids, particles, and subtle lighting.
Both visually and mechanically, Rayman Legends consistently sparks the imagination. The co-op play on the Wii U is something that really must be experienced, and while the implementation isn't a perfect fit on other platforms, it does little to hold the game back. While we certainly wouldn't advocate carbon copies, we hope Rayman Legends paints a vision for other 2D games to follow.

You've heard us use the word "first" a few times this year and we're back with a truly unusual, unbelievably exciting first for us – Comic-Con, San Diego here we come! The now iconic convention hosts well over 100,000 visitors from all over the world to talk film, TV, art, collectables, and of course, comics. We are totally psyched to be a part of it on Friday, July 19 to discuss the upcoming 3D event, Metallica Through The Never.
As we hope you've heard, our 3D movie shot last year in Vancouver will be released in IMAX theatres on September 27, spreading to additional theatres on October 4. The four of us will be in Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center from 6:30-7:00 PM on that Friday, along with many of the super talented team that is helping us create an unprecedented film experience. Joining us to talk all things Through The Never will be the star of the film, Dane DeHaan, Director/Writer Nimrod Antal and Producer Charlotte Huggins as we proudly present the world premiere of the theatrical trailer along with an exclusive preview of footage from the movie followed by a discussion on the making of the film.

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) -- A former Omaha police officer fired for his role in a cover up appeared in a Douglas County courtroom Thursday.
A judge sentenced James Kinsella for his actions during a rough arrest at 33rd & Seward Ave. last spring.
The former officer didn't say anything in court, but his attorney says he regrets what happened.
Kinsella received one year of probation for pleading no contest to two counts of obstructing government operations, which is a misdemeanor. He was initially charged on four counts that included a felony.
In March 2013, someone videotaped Octavious Johnson being struck several times after a parking dispute. Kinsella showed up as backup and went into the Johnson home, taking a memory card from Demitrius Johnson's phone. The memory card was never found.
"What message is that sending to other police officers? We've seen beatings and we've seen shootings, and we've seen sexual assaults and there's never jail time, so I don't know what standard or message that sends," said Robert Wagner, a community activist.
Prosecutors dropped the felony tampering with evidence charge because the memory card wasn't believed to actually have any cell phone video on it.
The judge said Kinsella had an honorable record prior and expressed his remorse.
Douglas Co. Attorney Don Kleine says all officers have to have clean records, and Kinsella should've received some jail time. He faced up to two years behind bars.
"We respectfully disagree with the sentencing the court imposed here, it's disappointing," Kleine explained. "This is an individual who disgraced or had a negative impact on all the good men and women of the police department. He committed a crime while he was in uniform, violated the public trust."
As part of the plea deal Kinsella will never be able to be a law enforcement officer in Nebraska again.
Former OPD Sergeant Aaron Vonbehren had his charges dropped this week.

BUFFALO, N.Y.- Randolph runs for 377 yards, including 252 from Jordan Dowiaz, as the Cardinals beat the Avon Braves 34-14 in the Class D Far West Regional.
Randolph jumped out to a 27-0 lead in the first half behind stout defensive pressure and an effective run game.
Dowiaz rushed 27 times for 252 yards and two touchdowns, including a 73-yard TD run in the second quarter. Cardinals quarterback Mitch Maycock only threw the ball three times (1-3, 18 yards, INT), but he didn't need to do much as his backfield took care of business.
Avon tried to climb back in the game in the second half, but quarterback TJ Crye (15-32, 239 yards, INT) and the Braves offense was stymied by Cody Oldro and the Cardinals defense. Randolph forced two turnovers and held the Braves to 60 yards rushing.
Randolph moves on to the state semi-finals to play Tioga from Section 4 at Sahlens Stadium in Rochester next weekend.

If every Grizzlies loss feels like it's the size of Alaska right now, well, that's because each one is *at least* that size. Especially ones that were oh-so-winnable.
Counting seven is not particularly pleasurable regarding a game like this one, but we still gotta do it…
Thing one: It's perversely impressive for a team to hold an opponent to 36.6% from the field and still, to quote Jack Eaton and a million others, snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but the Grizzlies did it, and knew how to do it-play reach-y defense and fail to score at opportune moments (don't mean just the last possession, either). I'm a big proponent of defense, as 3SOB co-founder Josh Coleman will tell you-but scoring is, well, uh, a necessity. It's as plain as the proverbial nose that the Grizzlies have to play a turtle-on-seconal pace to have the best chance at victory, but holy mackerel.
Thing two: Hmmm…opposing team's first three makes include two threes. Not good. Opposing team's darned talented PG makes mincemeat of your otherwise-rock-solid defense all night. You just tangled, in intensely rivalrous (hey..my made-up word for the day!) fashion, with the Clippers the previous night. It's easy to feel the balloon start to deflate…unless…
Thing three:…you JUST KNOW that every loss counts double or triple, especially with the Mavericks winning YET AGAIN this night. Will the injuries and resultant rust fatally wound the Grizzlies' playoff hopes?
Thing four: The Grizzlies have proven their ability to win close games and to come back after being down in close games. The team's inability to close this one out (along with another factor we'll discuss momentarily) makes an uncomfortably loud statement about the durability of the squad (especially the three starters who have sustained more-than-minor injuries this season) when the schedule gets tough. Which, by the way, it will be from here on out.
Thing five: That other factor: turnovers. Sure, everyone knows (and on another occasion, might be entertained by) Charlotte's much-increased defensive prowess over previous seasons-but this game made the best example of how slow pace with fifteen turnovers gives the other team *just enough* extra possessions to bury you. No Grizzly had an egregious number on his own-none more than three-but when it adds up to fifteen and the opponent only has eleven…
Thing six: Thirty-four points and a much better shooting night (13-for-19) by the Grizzlies' bench, as opposed to the starters, not one of whom shot 50% or better from the field. It's easy to make it a mantra-the Grizzlies put a ton of juice into finishing that Clippers game, and it showed. Trust me, no excuses are being made for the team-I'll not say that it is justified or should be expected that the team should react in this manner on the second night of a b2b, but that's what happened.
Thing seven: Can we at least discuss starting TA and Lee? Can we?
Sorry this is a bit short, finishing a move this weekend and Daddy is as outta juice as Conley looked when he missed that final pair of threes….

What Is the Starting Salary of a Probation Officer?
Imagine a career where you can help criminals adjust to society and become contributing members. Probation officers monitor convicted criminals who are sentenced to community supervision, usually instead of serving time in jail. Read on to see salary information for probation officers and the factors that affect earnings. Schools offering Corrections degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Career Overview
Probation is a sentence handed down by a court where a criminal agrees to be supervised and abide by guidelines while living in a designated community instead of going to jail. The probation sentence may include severe restrictions on activities and travel. As a probation officer, you supervise probationers to ensure they abide by the probation restrictions. You're often called on to work with criminal treatment specialists in the successful rehabilitation of a probationer.
These professionals are mainly employed by state and local governments. Job prospects for probation officers and correctional treatment specialists aren't expected to grow much at all between 2012 and 2022, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Salary Overview
The BLS reported that the mean wage of probation officers and correctional treatment specialists in May 2012 was $52,380. Workers in the bottom 10 percentile of salaries made $31,590 or less, and those in the top 10 percentile of salaries made $83,410 or higher. A January 2014 salary report from Payscale.com showed most probation officers earned between $24,666 and $48,479 with less than a year of experience. Your salary for the first and subsequent years is determined by a number of factors, such as years of experience, job location and employer.
Salary by Experience
You can expect your salary to increase over time as you gain more experience. Payscale.com reported in January 2014 that most probation officers with 1-4 years of experience earned between $24,666 and $48,479, while those with 10-19 years of experience had an annual salary range of $30,932 to $79,983.
Salary by Location
Geographic location makes a difference in your salary. Probation officers and correctional treatment specialists employed in urban areas may have higher wages, according to the BLS. May 2012 mean wages in the New York City metropolitan area were $70,970 in May 2012, while mean wages in the Los Angeles metropolitan area were $70,850. The BLS also reported that mean wages were the highest in California ($75,370), New Jersey ($74,780), Connecticut ($73,190), New York ($66,070) and Minnesota ($65,220).
Salary by Employer
Your salary can also depend on your employer. Probation officers are most often employed by state and local government agencies. The BLS reported that mean earnings for those working for state government were $52,840 in May 2012, while those working for local government made mean wages of $53,110. Individual and family services paid much lower mean wages of $31,990.

The Inn (Latin: Aenus;[1] Romansh: En) is a river in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. It is a right tributary of the Danube and is 517 kilometres (321 mi) long. The highest point of its drainage basin is the summit of Piz Bernina, at 4,049 metres (13,284 ft). The Inn is the only river originating in Switzerland that ends in the Black Sea (via the Danube).
The source is located in the Swiss Alps, west of St. Moritz in the Engadin region, which is named after the river (Romansh Engiadina; Latin vallis Eniatina). Shortly after it leaves its source, the Inn flows through the largest lakes on its course, Lake Sils and Lake Silvaplana. It runs north-eastwards, entering Austria, and from Landeck eastwards through the Austrian state of Tyrol and its capital, Innsbruck (bridge over the Inn), and crosses the border into Bavaria near Kufstein.
On Bavarian territory the river runs northwards and passes Rosenheim, Wasserburg am Inn, and Waldkraiburg; then it turns east, runs through Mühldorf and Neuötting and is enlarged by two major tributaries, the Alz and the Salzach.
From here to the Danube, it forms the border between Germany (Bavaria) and Austria (Upper Austria). Towns on this last section of the river are Simbach on Inn, Braunau am Inn and Schärding. There are numerous small towns, including Braunau am Inn in Austria, and Marktl am Inn in Bavaria, Germany.
In Passau the Inn finally enters the Danube (as does the Ilz river there). Although the Inn has a greater average flow than the Danube when they converge in Passau, and its watershed contains the Piz Bernina also the highest point in the Danube watershed, the Inn is considered a tributary of the Danube, which has a greater length, drains a larger surface area, and has a more consistent flow. The Inn is the only river originating in Switzerland that ends in the Black Sea (via the Danube).
- Right tributaries (in downstream order): Flaz, Spöl, Clemgia, Faggenbach, Pitzbach, Ötztaler Ache, Melach, Sill, Ziller, Alpbach, Wildschönauer Ache, Brixentaler Ache, Weißache, Kaiserbach, Rohrdorfer Ache, Sims, Murn, Alz, Salzach, Enknach, Mattig, Ach, Antiesen, Pram
- Left tributaries (in downstream order): Beverin, Schergenbach, Sanna, Gurglbach, Brandenberger Ache, Kieferbach, Auerbach, Kirchbach, Mangfall, Attel, Isen, Rott

text: Brian 5pts Ryan you are a brainwashed idiot if you thing GM makes the best cars. There is nothing superior about them. The CTS is about the only world class car they have that is a total package. Toyota is a much better driving longer lasting higher quality car, and I don't even care for Toyota but as a true enthusiast fact is fact. the Z06 is a beast but has an interior that even Kia would consider too cheap to use. I have driven numerous cars, especially in my days as a mechanic. Nothing from GM or any American automaker has impressed me, especially from a quality standpoint. There are some fast American cars, but God forbid you introduce them to the greatest enemy of the American car..... the dreaded corner. they have poor stability during transition from left to right, cheap seats and interior, tacky afterthoughts and overall lackluster feel. GM cars were the most common cars that came in. We almost never had any Honda's or Toyota's and only a very few Nissan's. GM has improved but still has a long way to go, and why must they be so stupid and keep the Impala FWD? Ryan you must be 13 and think GM is the best because Mom and Dad drive them. Interior, performance and handling all in one package goes to the Germans, solid reliability and appliance like function goes to the Japanese, and American cars are gimmicky cars that age poorly made, but are priced good especially after all the rebates and incentives.

In Pictures: 2014's biggest Cloud deals (so far)
The most important cloud acquisitions this year have one thing in common: OpenStack.
The most important cloud acquisitions this year have one thing in common: OpenStack.
EMC has continued its push into hybrid Clouds, buying three startups and introducing a package of hardware, software and services for getting a Cloud up and running.
EMC has confirmed it will purchase the bulk of Cisco's stake in VCE, the companies' joint venture in converged infrastructure products.
VCE is expanding its line of all-in-one cloud systems, adding one with all-flash storage and offering more options for enterprises that want an easier path to the cloud.
EMC spent almost a year discussing a merger with Hewlett-Packard and is weighing its options in light of the expected retirement of CEO Joe Tucci and shareholder discontent, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
The total disk storage systems market barely grew in the second quarter at a 0.3 percent year-over-year increase, with a continued drop in high-end storage sales, according to research firm IDC.
EMC is putting replication and recovery into the hands of VMware administrators with a software version of its RecoverPoint appliance that's designed for cloud computing.
Oracle has responded to a former employee's claim that a new in-memory processing option is turned on by default with the latest release of Database 12c, insisting that the process of enabling it requires a series of deliberate steps.
EMC's TwinStrata acquisition announced on Tuesday is just part of a bigger move to keep its venerable VMax storage platform up to date with large enterprises as they enter the cloud era.
Storage vendor EMC has scooped up cloud storage management company TwinStrata, the companies announced Tuesday.
A new Trojan program that can spy on victims, steal login credentials and interfere with browsing sessions is being sold on the underground market and might soon see wider distribution.
EMC may be in the market for security and data analytics acquisitions as it builds out what it calls a federation of businesses among VMware, RSA Security, Pivotal and the company's traditional storage operations.
EMC's introductions this week of its Elastic Cloud Storage Appliance (ECS) and of ViPR 2.0, the latest generation of its enterprise storage virtualization software, are two sides of the same coin.
The IT systems of the past 20 years won't be able to handle the emerging Internet of Things, which will call for cloud computing, virtualization, efficient storage and big-data analysis, according to EMC.
EMC has agreed to acquire DSSD, a Silicon Valley startup developing technology for pooling server-based flash for high-performance data access.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

At Chantiques we specialize in a distinctive line of hand-crafted furnishings constructed from plantation-grown teak, mahogany and a variety of other exotic woods local to the Indonesian island of Java. We avoid veneers, plywood and other composites in favor of solid-wood construction. If you take a close look at our products, you will notice that each piece has its own special charm. Corners are often dove-tailed. Joinery is mortise and tenon. The bottoms of drawers and the backs of cabinets are constructed of solid-wood panel systems, much like the doors in older Portland homes. Rather than striving for perfection, as with most factory-produced furniture, our products often exhibit the natural artifacts of living wood. While not affecting the structural integrity of a piece, these artifacts indicate a craft where wood is a prized resource and every precious bit of hardwood is utilized.

The Wacky, Wild And Terrible Wigs Of 'Twilight'!
The final Twilight flick hit theaters in November and was an epic conclusion to the beloved vampire saga. The end of the movies also marked the end of all terrible wigs! While the cast has probably rejoiced for not having to wear them anymore (just ask Taylor Lautner!), we admit we're a little bummed it's over. In honor of the year's end and saying good-bye of the Twilight saga, here are some of the wigs used in Twilight!
Which character do you think had the best wig?

I am an owner of a motel in downtown Wildwood, one of only a few that do not rent to kids, and I have to say, I am so sick of my customers complaining to me about the apartment houses and other motels that rent to all the kids and people from New York and Phila.! They complain about the lack of police presence on the boardwalk as well.

[VIDEO] Judith Hill Covers Will.i.am & Justin Bieber's "#thatPOWER" On 'The Voice'
I've never been a fan of television singing competitions, but The Voice somehow roped me in from season 1 episode 1. One of my favorite things about the show is that the artists are allowed to put their own spin on the songs they perform, so it doesn't turn into a karaoke contest. This is exactly what happened on last night's episode as Team Adam's Judith Hill put her touch to Will.i.am and Justin Bieber's smash single "#thatPOWER."
I love how she put her bluesy/jazzy touch to the song. It sounds nothing like the original. As I said, this is one of my favorite elements of the show allowing the contestants to be their own artists and put their own creative touch on a song. Check out her version and let me know what you think in the comments or tweet me: @itsMeanJean.

The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies reveals she's keen to reunite with her former ER co-star George Clooney to give fans of the medical drama the wedding they have dreamed of.
The actress said she's hoping for a reunion movie with the 52-year-old heartthrob, who played her on-screen love interest, Dr Ross.
"George just reminded me the other day that we are coming up on our 20th anniversary of ER," Julianna told E! News.
"We used to joke that they never gave us a wedding on that show. He said we should just do a movie and just see what the ticket receipts are… if George is in it, I'm game!"

Heterocycles as ligands. XX. Spectroscopic and structural characterization of pentacarbonylmetal complexes of imidazol-2-ylidene.
In: Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, Jg. 470 (1994) ; Nr. 1-2, S. C8-C11
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Chemie
The imidazol-2-ylidene complexes I [M = Cr, Mo, W, R = Me; M = W, R = Et (II), CHMe2] are obtained from M(CO)6 and the corresponding imidazol-2-ylidenes in 87-96% yields. 13C-NMR data and the x-ray structure of II confirm the carbenes to be strong donor ligands, no evidence for significant p-interaction between the carbene C atom and the metal center being detected.

KINGSTON ŌĆō Whether or not the University of Rhode Island menŌĆÖs basketball team deserved to beat Charlotte Saturday afternoon is irrelevant.
It didnŌĆÖt matter how it looked, because when the Rams left the Ryan Center, the scoreboard read Rams 71, Guest 70.
Akeem Richmond missed a jumper from the right corner with three seconds left in overtime, but Jamal Wilson was in the right place at the right time ŌĆō and got away with the right move ŌĆō for a putback just before the buzzer in overtime, giving the Rams the dramatic one-point win to finish off an incredible second half for URI.
Amongst a slew of other issues, one of the biggest problems facing Rhode Island is its inability to entice its young people to remain in the state.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō To close the $1.6 million deficit in the school budget, the School Committee approved a budget that would ask for two percent in town property taxes, $950,000 from collective bargaining agreements and a reduction of $640,184 in school programs and structures with 33 percent of the un-designated fund balance dedicated to the budget.

Pets at the Office
What's Your Take on Pets at the Office?
Like us on Facebook
Now, I've heard of pet-friendly offices before, but I've never actually worked in one where pets were brought on a regular basis. Still, my friend didn't have anything too negative to say. While the cat was a distraction at first, she said it's now a pretty welcome fixture at the office and doesn't really bother anyone (thankfully no one's allergic). But, regardless of how the cat and the office workers have acclimated, it still seems a bizarre situation for the workplace. So, of course, now I'm curious: have you ever brought a pet to work? What do you think about taking your dog, cat, or goldfish to the office?

Before and After: $100 Bathroom Makeover Idea
Admittedly, the 'before' in this makeover looks better than a lot of 'afters' I've seen. But this budget-friendly makeover idea is one that anyone suffering from the "bad tile blues" might appreciate!
Some people love decorative tile borders... and that's cool. Some people hate them. Nina Holst was in the latter category. So, like any homeowner itching for a change, she decided to do something about it -- without breaking the bank. Her trick? Leave the offending tiles in place and paint over them with lime paint! The result looks similar to concrete (when left 'natural'), but you can apply any color paint or finish to the surface afterwards. Pretty brilliant, right?
See more on Stylizimo.
What do you think of this idea? Would you use lime paint in your home?

International Pro-Life Women Leaders
All too often, our focus on ending abortion in the United States keeps us from seeing the fight for life at the international level. The reality is, however, that only 3% of the world's abortions occur in the United States. According to the Guttmacher Institute (the research arm of Planned Parenthood), there are 42 million abortions world-wide every year. So who is speaking up for life internationally? Here is a look at some of the world's pro-life and pro-woman leaders.

Here's something that worries me about the stock market today. The swings are getting bigger, not smaller. So volatility is expanding. The S&P 500, therefore, is putting in somewhat of a broadening formation. Definitely not a check mark for the bulls.And if it was just that, then maybe it could be brushed off. But it's where it's happening that gives it validity. As you can see in the daily bar chart below, we're at the upper end of this multi-month trend channel:

|- Federal Contractor Compliance Advisor
Determining if You Are a Federal Contractor or Subcontractor Subject to the Laws Enforced by OFCCP
If your business or organization has a Federal contract, subcontract, or federally assisted construction contract it may be subject to some or all of the civil rights requirements enforced by OFCCP. Generally speaking, any business or organization that (1) holds a single Federal contract, subcontract, or Federally assisted construction contract in excess of $10,000.00; (2) has Federal contracts or subcontracts that combined total in excess of $10,000.00 in any 12-month period; or (3) holds Government bills of lading, serves as a depository of Federal funds, or is an issuing and paying agent for U.S. savings bonds and notes in any amount will be subject to requirements under one or more of the laws enforced by OFCCP. See 41 CFR Sec. 60-1.5(a), 41 CFR Sec. 60-250.4, and 41 CFR Sec. 60-741.4.
The obligations for Federal contractors under the laws enforced by OFCCP will vary depending on the dollar amount and the nature of the covered contract(s). This Advisor will help you determine what laws your business or organization may be subject to and what obligations may be imposed. Once it has been determined that a business or organization is subject to OFCCP jurisdiction, generally all of the business's or organization's establishments will be covered, regardless of whether the Federal contract is to be performed at only one of the business's or organization's facilities.
Single entity test: In addition, some businesses or organizations that do not independently hold Federal contracts/subcontracts may still be covered by Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and/or VEVRAA if they are considered a "single entity" with a related business or organization that holds such contracts. In such instances, OFCCP uses a "single entity" test to determine whether the businesses or organizations are so closely related that they may constitute a single entity for purposes of OFCCP jurisdiction.
If you are not sure whether your business or organization would qualify as a single entity in its relation to a Federal contractor or subcontractor, the following pages provide guidance in making that determination.
Federal subcontractor test: OFCCP jurisdiction extends to all Federal subcontractors as well as contractors. The Federal subcontractor test allows businesses and organizations to determine if the work they do for a Federal contractor constitutes a Federal subcontract.

(Dec 07, 2011) Indonesia has long been considering a law on village governance. The bill was dropped from the legislative agenda in 2009 for re-drafting and then was submitted anew in the national legislative program for the years 2009-2014, but has not been enacted. The purpose of the legislation is to improve the status of villages by such measures as ensuring that villages benefit from natural resources found within them and by increasing the number of village officials who are classified as civil servants. (Markus Junianto Sihaloho & Michelle Natalie, Thousands of Village Chiefs Plan Weeklong Protest at DPR, THE JAKARTA GLOBE (Dec. 5, 2011).)
Village chiefs have become impatient for the adoption of the village governance bill, and hundreds of them took part in a recent protest at the House of Representatives. They had said they would stay in Jakarta for a minimum of one week, to push the government to give priority to this bill. Sudir Santoso, Chairman of the Nusantara Village People's Association, said that the chiefs "want to meet with the leader of the House and the leaders of the nine factions to seek support." Santoso added that those who do not support the bill will be boycotted in the 2014 elections. (Id. Note: the word "nusantara" refers to the Indonesia archipelago.) It was reported on December 6, 2011, however, that the village chiefs might end their demonstration early, as Gamawan Fauzi, the Home Affairs Minister, announced that the bill "has been finalized in the cabinet." Fauzi added, "[i]f it is possible, I will ask the president to issue a Presidential mandate (Ampres) to discuss the bill next week." (Arientha Primanita, Village Chiefs Might Go Home Soon, THE JAKARTA GLOBE (Dec. 6, 2011).)

Can't connect your HTC Sensation (or other HTC phones) to Mac? Well, connecting HTC devices to Windows computers is quite simple, but to connect HTC to Mac, things turn out to be a little tricky. This article will show you how to sync HTC to Mac (Lion included) step by step. In addition, it can be done without any third-party applications.
To hook up HTC Evo, HTC Sensation, HTC Flyer, HTC Vivid, HTC Desire etc. or other Android devices with your Mac, multiple steps are required:
Note: To connect HTC to Mac (Mountain Lion, Lion included), you only can mount your HTC as a disk drive and the article here would help you to manage files such as music, movies, photos, etc. between your HTC and Mac including HTC to iTunes, HTC to iPad.
Go to "Setting" and choose "Applications"
Click the "Development"
Here you need to tick the three items: USB debugging, Stay awake, Allow mock location, or you will be unable to copy your files on the SD card to Mac (Snow Leopard included).
Click "USB connected", and select the "USB debugging connected:" and then click "Mount"
Note: Some HTC phones like HTC Sensation here may present you a notice like this:
"Allow USB debugging?
USB debugging is intended for development purposes only. It can be used to copy data between your computer and your device, install applications on your device without notification, and read log data."
Click "OK".
Then you connect your HTC to the Mac, the phone will be showed "USB connected" on the top. BTW, some types of HTC may work in other ways, for example, once you connected your HTC Sensation to Mac, you will be asked to choose your connection type between "Charge only" or "Disk Drive". Here Disk Drive is recommended.
Now the HTC phone is successfully connected to Mac and you can freely manage your files on HTC Evo, HTC Sensation, HTC Flyer, HTC Vivid, HTC Desire etc. on Mac (also on MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac).
Besides, you can go to HTC to iTunes for more information about playing the files on Mac.
Note: Once you connected your HTC to Mac, please make sure the "USB Storage" is on. If not, slide down the notification panel and turn on it.

Camille Paglia, one of the few the old-school liberals whose social and fiscal views have always placed her nearer Constitutional libertarianism than 21st century liberalism, has had a rough go of rationalizing, to herself, her ongoing affiliation with the Democratic party. She's admitted to herself that her eternal optimism for a classical liberal Democratic President is nostalgia, a principled loyalty she feels to her rebellious 1960s academic roots when liberalism and libertarianism were almost one and the same.
"Why has the Democratic Party become so arrogantly detached from ordinary Americans?" she once wrote. "Though they claim to speak for the poor and dispossessed, Democrats have increasingly become the party of an upper-middle-class professional elite, top-heavy with journalists, academics and lawyers (one reason for the hypocritical absence of tort reform in the healthcare bills). … How has 'liberty' become the inspirational code word of conservatives rather than liberals? I always thought that the Democratic Party is the freedom party — but I must be living in the nostalgic past."
Paglia is among a number of now-jaded 1960s-era liberal intellectuals and culture-makers who truly believe in America as a land of singular opportunity ordained by a governing charter — the Constitution — that eternally stands as one of humanity's crowning achievements. Whether you agree with their views, there's no denying that their beliefs are substantive and uninfluenced by inscrutable motives or shortsighted expediency. The Administration of President Barack Obama has seen liberals like Paglia, Noam Chomsky, Oliver Stone, David Mamet and others rue their longstanding faith in the power of last century's Democratic beliefs to carry over into the perverted Democratic power structure of the present day. Paglia herself voted for Obama in 2008, but she spent the next four years disgusted with him (as she had done with Bill Clinton in the 1990s) and ended up voting with the Green Party in 2012.
In a Salon interview this week, Paglia indicated she's not interested in continuing to wave the flag for establishment candidates who'll continue to subvert the very principles that once defined her beloved Democratic Party. In particular, she's done with Hillary Clinton — big time.
From Salon:
As a registered Democrat, I am praying for a credible presidential candidate to emerge from the younger tier of politicians in their late 40s. A governor with executive experience would be ideal. It's time to put my baby-boom generation out to pasture! We've had our day and managed to muck up a hell of a lot. It remains baffling how anyone would think that Hillary Clinton (born the same year as me) is our party's best chance. She has more sooty baggage than a 90-car freight train. And what exactly has she ever accomplished — beyond bullishly covering for her philandering husband? She's certainly busy, busy and ever on the move — with the tunnel-vision workaholism of someone trying to blot out uncomfortable private thoughts.
I for one think it was a very big deal that our ambassador was murdered in Benghazi. In saying "I take responsibility" for it as secretary of state, Hillary should have resigned immediately. The weak response by the Obama administration to that tragedy has given a huge opening to Republicans in the next presidential election. The impression has been amply given that Benghazi was treated as a public relations matter to massage rather than as the major and outrageous attack on the U.S. that it was.
Throughout history, ambassadors have always been symbolic incarnations of the sovereignty of their nations and the dignity of their leaders. It's even a key motif in "King Lear." As far as I'm concerned, Hillary disqualified herself for the presidency in that fist-pounding moment at a congressional hearing when she said, "What difference does it make what we knew and when we knew it, Senator?" Democrats have got to shake off the Clinton albatross and find new blood. The escalating instability not just in Egypt but throughout the Mideast is very ominous. There is a clash of cultures brewing in the world that may take a century or more to resolve — and there is no guarantee that the secular West will win.
There's not a lot that even Rand Paul could add to that.
In fact, Paglia and the thinking members of the Tea Party differ primarily on one point, and that's the extent to which religion should influence the crafting of a political party's social platform. Paglia is a secularist who champions religion as mankind's genius reaction to the brutal world it's inherited, but she'd just as well live in a society which is ready for art to serve as the dominant vessel to contain and spill forth human nature.
The future tenure of even a two-term Democrat President doesn't have to result in the Nation-wrecking debacle that's unfolding under Obama, but just about the only way for that to happen is for party leaders on both sides to start listening to their conscience. Paglia, Chomsky and their sagacious peers are the closest thing Democrats have to a true conscience; and it's a safe bet no one who matters inside the party is listening.

Influence of Vitamin D Treatment on Multi-systemic Functions in Young Men With Vitamin D Deficiency Due to Work Conditions
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Vitamin D has multiple systemic effects: bone and calcium metabolism, muscle function, insulin responsiveness, body-composition regulation, cell differentiation, and the immune system. Proper status of vitamin D is found to be related to risk reduction in hypertension, cardiac and vascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and others. Furthermore, vitamin D supplementation resulted in improved endothelial function. Limited sun exposure may lead to vitamin D deficiency, and it may be assumed that modern life styles lead to a lack of sun exposure. Long work-days may be the primary risk factor for vitamin D deficiency. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of vitamin D treatment on multi systemic functions in young healthy men with vitamin D deficiency due to working conditions.

Detailed Description:
The study has 2 stages: first stage would be survey of 400 employees, who will fill out a questionnaire to identify occupational and demographic risk factors, a nutritional questionnaire, and data from periodic checkups will be collected. Participants will sign a consent form for vitamin D level determinations, and for freezing blood samples. From this survey, the participants that have vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D levels < 20 ng/ml) will continue to the second stage of the study - administration of vitamin D or placebo. Participants in the interventional study will sign an additional consent form. Length of follow-up: one year. All parameters will be tested at 0, 6, and 12 months.

Why is Intelligent Life doing an iPhone edition? Firstly, because readers who wanted to be able to read the magazine on the move asked for one. Here's an edition of the magazine you can keep in your pocket and take with you wherever you go. Secondly, because Intelligent Life is available widely around the world but not universally, so it's a chance to reach readers in places where we are not on the newsstand—including America.
Download it here.
What is the relationship between the app and the magazine? The app is, in effect, an Intelligent Life bookshelf. Download that and you will have an Intelligent Life icon on your screen. If you tap the icon, you will be in the app and will be taken automatically to the contents page of the latest issue. You'll receive new content automatically as we publish new issues.
Is the iPhone edition the same as the print edition? We can't replicate the experience exactly. The iPhone is less like the iPad than you might think, and more like the web—because of its size, better for text than images. So on the iPhone we show off the quality of the writing, and hint at the glorious visuals. But it has the same regular sections and articles in almost the same order. Because the iPhone edition appears slightly later, we have removed one or two events that have already been and gone from "This Season", our arts calendar.
What is Intelligent Life anyway? It's an acclaimed magazine, published by The Economist, covering life, culture, style and places. It publishes original features, memoirs, profiles and other articles by contributors including Economist staff, leading journalists from elsewhere, well-known authors such as Julian Barnes, Douglas Coupland, Carlos Fuentes and Margaret Drabble, and prominent photographers such as Tim Flach and Sebastião Salgado. Intelligent Life is available on the newsstand in most parts of the world (price £4.95, E7.50 or equivalent) and by subscription everywhere. It is edited in London by a small team headed by Tim de Lisle, who was named Editor of the Year in 2010 (Lifestyle magazines) by the British Society of Magazine Editors. There are also foreign-language editions in Serbia, Portugal and Lithuania, published in association with local publishers.
Is The Economist on the iPhone too? Yes. It has an edition for the iPhone and the iPad, which can be downloaded every week from Thursday evening. It is free to The Economist's print subscribers.
What's the relationship with More Intelligent Life? More Intelligent Life is our website, updated every weekday, which features the Editors' Blog as well as material from the magazine published across the two months that each issue spends on the newsstand. The iPhone edition contains all the magazine content and doesn't include web-only content.
What does it cost? Nothing at the moment. It is supported by Credit Suisse, which has enabled us to make it free.
How long does it take to download the app? It should be a few seconds, but may take longer, depending on your 3G or Wi-Fi connection.
If I get an error message, what should I do? There are two error messages you might encounter. The first is: "A problem was encountered while connecting to the server. Please check your internet connection and try again later". If you see that, your internet connection probably timed out because your 3G or Wi-Fi signal is weak. Just try again when your internet connection is stronger. The second is: "A problem was encountered while connecting to the server. Our apologies for the inconvenience!". This means there's either a glitch with the server or we're updating the content. Either way, just wait a few minutes and try again. If the problem continues, let us know by e-mailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com. If the pages freeze, just close the app and re-open it.
Is there a way of bookmarking articles to return to later? Yes. Every article you open will be stored on your phone for seven days, so you can read it wherever you are, even if you don't have a mobile signal. You'll find a tab called "Add to favourites" at the foot of each article. Click that and the article will be stored for reading offline until you remove it from your list of favourites. Images are not stored, so if you are reading an article offline they may not appear. Just connect to 3G or Wi-Fi to refresh them.
How do I navigate the pages? From the contents page, which you'll be taken to automatically when you open the app, click on an article and then scroll down the page to read. Just click the arrow in the top left-hand corner of the screen to return to the contents page.
If you click on a hyperlink, the web page will open within the app. Just click "Back" in the top left-hand corner of the screen to return to the article you were reading.
As we publish new issues of the magazine, your app will be automatically updated. But if you want to read previous issues, you still can—issue tabs will appear on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen as new issues are published.
Can I read articles in portrait and landscape modes, and can I enlarge the text? Articles can only be read in portrait mode, and the text cannot at the moment be enlarged by pinching the screen, but we plan to offer options for larger type in the next version of the app, which is being developed now.
Is it possible to subscribe? Not on the iPhone, but in print very much so—click here for our latest subscription offer.
Please let us know what you think of the iPhone edition. E-mail your comments to email@example.com.

We carry on a tradition from my husband's time he spent in Holland.
On Christmas Eve before we start our Christmas program we put one of our shoes (some of us have wooden shoes) out on the front step. At the end of our Christmas program we go outside and like magic Father Christmas has paid us a visit and filled our shoes with goodies and a small gift.
Our children are married and they still love to come home and participate in this tradition. They still can't figure it out.
Every couple should decide on traditions that they want to carry on through their family. Just be careful because once you make a family tradition it just might stick so make the traditions you pick something that you want to continue year after year.

Are there any good brands of spray on sunscreen? While we're at it, are there any spray on sunscreens with insect repellent? If not, there should be. I despise smearing gloopy gloop all over my body, and I can't be the only one. Thanks!
Never tried it myself. I hate wearing sunscreen unless I'm on the water. I'm a 'hat and clothing' type sunscreener. Here's a link.
I'll try to find her blog and post it here later but my friend invested a lot of time into researching different sunblocks after her daughter was diagnosed with skin cancer. Bottom line was that she couldn't recommend any of the spray on sunblocks. At least not the aerosol ones. We do a lot of boating and I haven't found any that work either.Edit: here's the link http://littlestwarriorspot.com/2011/06/20/sunscreen-101/?blogsub=confirming#blog_subscription-5
Edited by IDBLOOM on 04/13/2013 07:06:24 MDT.
According to http://www.ewg.org/2012sunscreen/sunscreens aren't very effectivethey will prevent sunburn, but don't block UVA and UVB which cause skin cancer and skin ageingthey can actually make things worse if you stay out longer because you're not getting burned, so get more UVA and UVB exposurebest - stay out of the sun - easy to do in Portlandor wear sun hat with brim, long sleeves, long pantszinc and titanium are better at blocking UVA and UVB because they stay on surface, but that means they wipe or sweat off easily, kind of messythey say avobenzone is better than oxybenzone or retinol which can cause cancer themselvesthere's a lot of uncertainty about all of this
The Sawyer website has some pretty good information on sunscreen ratings, ingredients, etc.I do like Kinesys sprays, but I spray it on my hands then rub it on my neck and face. I use a waterproof spf30 stick on my ears, nose, and lips. But a good hat and long sleeves and pants trumps any sunscreen.

If I have to use a spray it's Neutrogena Ultra Sheer. It dries good and isn't greasy at all.
I am thru hiking the Oregon PCT in August. Apparently it can get miserably hot in stretches, and I am the guy who hikes in shorts even when it's snowing. I just can't see myself in long pants when it's 90 degrees. And, I'm the guy who goes from pale skin to red skin with no tan skin in between. Portland has made me a wimp around the sunshine. Is it really that sunny along the PCT, or should I expect mostly shade?
Usually lots of sun, and it's high in the sky and you're at altitude so it's worse. I've done only maybe 10% of PCT through Oregon but from my experience there's a lot of shade, but also a lot of clear areas.Sunscreen does prevent sunburn and you don't want severe sunburn.I've always liked shorts and no shirt, but I've been trying loose fitting long shirt and pants and maybe it's not that bad.
Seriously, you sound like a good candidate for an umbrella.
An umbrella is good for the head and shoulders, but not so much for the legs. Get a tube of good stuff and just get used to slathering it on, or hike with a helper ;)
Pete, like you, I burn very easily. From shorts up, it's wide-brimmed hat & RR L/s shirt. But I too hate long pants and avoid whenever possibleFor the last couple years I have had success using Banana Boat skin & scalp spray-on (pump) and have not gotten my legs burned at all. Saw it in the store a couple days ago, so it's still avail. This is the only pump spray I've found. Pump is important to me because it's easy to repackage into a smaller pump-spray bottle for only a few days' use.Be sure to spread out the droplets as soon as you spray on though! One time I didn't and got a "polka dot" sun burn!Finally, it's been a while, but as I recall, Consumer Reports has found combo sunsrceen/repellant to be less effective than each separately (especially the repellant part).
I'll second the recommendation for Banana Boat Quick Dri Body and Scalp sunscreen. It's not oily or greasy, dries dry, and one of the active ingredients is avobenzone. The only con is the added fragrance...why do manufacturers always feel they must add stink-nice to their products? It's just a potential bear attractant in my book. So even though I use this product, I mainly rely on a big brimmed hat (no wussy, fashionista baseball cap) and long sleeved shirt. Since I'm not one of them thar Southern California sun worshipers, I don't care if I don't turn bronze during the summer...I kinda like that as a senior I still have unwrinkled, baby-soft skin!
