Executive Board and Liaison Officers in Dubai to Discuss the FAI World Air Games
Thursday, 04 December 2014 14:12
FAI officials gathered in Dubai this week to get to know the members of the Organising Committee, the host city and the competition venues of the FAI World Air Games Dubai 2015. A series of meetings were held where the Executive Board and the FAI World Air Games Experts from the Sports Commissions discussed the key issues pertinent to FAI's flagship event.
FAI World Air Games 2015 to be Staged in Dubai

Asian Beach Games 2012 - Medal Ceremony and Results
Thursday, 21 June 2012 13:25
The final duty of the Haiyang Asian Beach Games organisers is the distribution of medals to the worthy winners. As expected, the ceremony was carried out with great precision; medal winners were led to the podium by beautifully dressed women and then given the coveted Asian Beach Games medal by a number of dignitaries. FAI President John Grubbström gave the medals for the Combined class and CIMA President Richard Meredith-Hardy was given the responsibility for team medals.
The respective flags were raised and the anthems were sung. It was a fitting end to a highly successful event and eyes now turn to 2014 for the 4th Asian Beach Games in Phuket, Thailand. See you there !
Asian Beach Games 2012 - Task 11 The Eight [2]
Thursday, 21 June 2012 10:37
The last day was welcomed by very light winds, ideal for the final task of the competition. With the medal ceremony due around noon today, Competition Director Zhang WEI opted for a slalom and a repeat of the popular "The Eight".
The on-site organisation had been excellent all week, so take-off was briefed to start in just 20 minutes, with the first competitors taking off on time.
Asian Beach Games 2012 - Task 10 Economy and Distance [2]
Wednesday, 20 June 2012 12:58
Day four of the competition and the weather forecast was for cloud and southerly winds increasing during the day to reach 6m/s by the afternoon.
This was a little too windy for the tasks first planned by the Competition Director, but the decision was taken to start Precision Take-offs and Landings in the hope that the wind did not follow the predictions. Sadly this was not the case and the task was stopped shortly afterwards.
FAI President visits Asian Beach Games
Tuesday, 19 June 2012 14:50
FAI President John Grubbström flew to Asia this week to visit the 3rd Asian Beach Games in Haiyang, CHN.
The main purpose of the President's trip was to visit the Powered Paragliding (Paramotoring) event, part of the official programme of the Games, which was taking place on the beach next to the Yellow Sea.
Asian Beach Games 2012 - Task 9 Economy and Precision
Tuesday, 19 June 2012 14:35
Wow ! This competition just gets more intense. The Competition Director has set a punishing schedule with 9 tasks completed in just three days. The ninth was "Ecomony and Precision"; pilots were given 2 litres of fuel and then had to complete laps around a course. The pilot with the highest number of laps would be the winner.
Asian Beach Games 2012 - Task 8 Round the Triangle
Tuesday, 19 June 2012 14:31
Day three started with the competition site again surrounded by sea fog. This was no problem for the Competition Director who called a briefing at 0700 to give details on the next task; Round the Triangle. This precision task required pilots to fly around a course of kicking sticks, then circle an inflatable pylon before repeating the kicking sticks course in the opposite direction.
Asian Beach Games 2012 - Task 7 Pure Economy
Tuesday, 19 June 2012 14:27
The afternoon of day two brought much improved weather conditions. The clouds had disappeared along with the fog to produce blue skies and hot sun; perfect for the next task of Pure Economy. The rules were delightfully simple; pilots were given 2 litres of fuel and had to stay airborne for as long as possible.
Once the fuelling control had been completed, the task window opened at 1515 local time with free take off until 1615. Competitors tried at every stage to conserve their precious fuel so take-offs were much more relaxed because of the reluctance to use full throttle once airborne. Pilots climbed out slowly and steadily, trying to make the maximum use of the available energy.
Asian Beach Games 2012 - Task 6 The Eight
Tuesday, 19 June 2012 01:50
Task 6 was the slalom known as "The Eight" because pilots flew circuits in the pattern of a number 8. Two inflatable pylons, each 20m high, marked out the ends of the course with a kicking stick in the centre.
This is always a fast and heavily contested event and The Eight at the Asian Beach Games 2012 proved no different. The results showed a clear winner but the second and third places were just 0.2s apart.
Asian Beach Games 2012 - Task 5 Bowling Landing
Sunday, 17 June 2012 15:41
After a long first day, competitors arrived on site at 0615, ready for a second day of what had already become a fierce competition. There was a clear overnight leader in Jiri George MACAK, but it was very early days and George just needed to make one mistake to drop down the order.
With a relatively high cloud base, a clean onshore wind and no sign of the fog that enshrouded the competition site for most of the previous day, the weather conditions were very good and set the scene for another packed day of flying.

Worn with pride Review by Robert H. Anderson
Many of my friends in aviation (DOTD) have A-2 jackets and I have wanted one now for 3 years. I received one for Christmas from my wife. The first cold morning I wore it to C.C.'s, a local coffee house. There set a group of men, that I didn't even know, having coffee and they all turned and spoke to me,..."Hi...how ya doing?". I have to tell you a sense of pride came upon me. Every where I went that day ,people that I didn't even know, spoke. I felt like I was representing the men who fought for our country and the freedom that we have today in America. I would proudly stand and defend our great country as our forefathers did in WWI and WWII. I wear my A-2 with pride. (Posted on 7/21/2010)

Fits like a glove Review by Manfred Rahmsdorf
The jacket I ordered from you came today and it fits like a glove! Really a good piece - the comments of your customers on your homepage were true. Good chance to get myself another jacket for colder days possibly soon. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Quality is outstanding Review by Todd Escandon
I want to thank you for the fine customer service that you provided to me. I ordered a Horsehide A2 and received it promptly. The quality of the jacket is outstanding and the fit is perfect. However I changed my mind and decided I would prefer the Goatskin A2. I contacted US Authentic and talked to one of your very courteous people who helped me out. I returned the jacket and very promptly received the Goatskin jacket. I am very happy with the new jacket, it is perfect in every way. It is refreshing to deal with a company such as yours. Thanks again. (Posted on 7/21/2010)

This is my first A-2 and I am sure to have made the right choice: I've got a beautiful jacket for a very reasonable price. Who could ask for more ? In addition, being a member of the B-17 Sally B Supporters Association (Swiss Branch), I look forward to wear my A-2 on the first occasion to come ! Thank you again for your help, understanding and kindness. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Good product Review by Lt. Col. Paul R. Jones
For years the only A-2 source I knew of was Avirex. I bought one of their original 1978 jackets. I ordered a size 40 but they sent a 44. It was way too large but the workmanship was excellent. Particularly the heavy cotton stitching and its spacing was superb. The steer hide was heavy and handsome. The epaulets were not too wide and the box stitching was small and squared off. I washed the jacket and threw it in the dryer. It shrunk enough for me to wear, but over the years I outgrew it. I ordered other A-2s, a B-3 and B-15s from Avirex but their quality clearly dropped over the years and their jackets were always too dark in color anyway. By the 1990s I had to wear a 44 and suck in my breath or order a 46 and wear a heavy sweater under it. I was, quite frankly, dissatisfied with Avirex. I recently read comments on an A-2 web page by a serious A-2 collector who rated Lost World, The Real McCoy and Eastman ahead of yours. I thought you might like to here my comparison of your U.S. Authentic A-2 with two of these company's jackets.
I bought a Real McCoy (the New Zealand outfit) A-2 jacket around 1993. It cost $300.00 (U.S.). Plus I had to pay $30.00 customs. I ordered a size 44. It was perfect in color and had the Army Air Forces logo (I had asked for it) on the left sleeve, but their 44 was way too small. I gave it to my son. After two years or so the McCoy had not fared well. The knit cuffs and waistband had frayed and torn and the leather coating had deteriorated badly in the main wear areas. But my son had not put the jacket under a great deal of stress. I've got a friend who's had an Eastman A-2 for about three years, and said he paid around $750.00 for it and quite frankly it looks awful. It is nearly worn out. All the cuffs and waist band wool are worn through with holes and the lining is ripped and torn. The outer shell looks worn, not aged.
I found your A-2 purely by chance while surfing the net last summer and liked the look and price. The russet brown was what I've wanted for years and you advertised veg. versus chrome or drum tanning. I ordered it and have just now, because of the weather, been able to start seeing some of the newness wear off, but it certainly does not appear that your A-2 isn't strong enough to stand reasonable wear and tear. The only trouble is, with the McCoy 44 being so small, I ordered yours in a 46, and it swamps me. But I love it too much to send back.
I have one question for you though. After having a leather name tag sewed on the left front of the jacket at a shoe repair shop, I noticed a black scrape mark on the jacket (probably made while the guy was pulling the jacket around under the sewing machine). When I attempted to clean the spot with a leather cleaning liquid, the area turned black! I checked the inside of one of the pockets and it is clear that the jacket skin is brown below the surface tanning. What do you suppose made the surface of the skin turn lack like that? I was able to make a repair by buying a chocolate colored shoe touch up spray. The area is a bit shinier than the rest of the skin. Any suggestions for matching it all back up? This worries me. Is this jacket going to fade to a darker color over the years? (US Authentic comment- We strongly recommend that you have any repair done by us; you get a lifetime warrantee on the leather)
Overall, I'd say you have just as good a product line as the bigger boys. I'll keep you posted. Also, I'm considering ordering a 44R so I can have one to wear when I only wear a shirt. Have you narrowed your shoulder epaulets? That seems to be a universal criticism you've received. (US Authentic comment- yes we did, currently our stock A-2 jackets have epaulets width of 1 7/8" at the sleeve side tapering down to 1 1/2" at the neck side) Otherwise, What I've got looks good. And are you going to offer jackets with the Army Air Forces logo shoulder transfer? (US Authentic comment- We offer the AAF emblem hand painted or embroidered). (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Brings back memories Review by Chuck Salzenstein
I was very pleased not only to receive the jacket so promptly, but with the fit, appearance, and workmanship. I am sixty eight years old and no longer able to fly, but wearing the jacket will not only keep me warm, but will also bring back many fond memories. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
Excellent service Review by Dave Toof
Because of you Shaul, and your time with me, I will, in fact, be purchasing one of your jackets soon. Courtesy, and a bit of time with a customer is great for business, and goes a long way. I would like you to know that I appreciate that.
I'm a huge flight jacket buff, and more knowledgeable than many. I own many, and lend, and give rare items to MOFFITT AIR FIELD MUSEUM (no longer a Naval base, now owned by NASA). I have heard many good things about U.S. AUTHENTIC. When I was inquiring about a jacket from EASTMAN LEATHER, I mentioned to the lady on the phone that I was interested in U.S.AUTHENTIC also. The lady on the phone paused then replied, "Well,... they are VERY good". When your competition admits that you are good, That is a high complement. The grain in original A-2's seem to be in blotches, not all over completely, but randomly throughout the jacket. When I make a purchase from your company, If it's o.k. with you, I would like to notify you first to let you know what my plans are, and to possibly ask further questions. No need to respond to this letter, I just wanted to thank you for your time with me. (Posted on 7/21/2010)
My search is over Review by Lt. Col. Paul R. Jones
I have collected U.S. military flight jackets for nearly 40 years. I've been in search of the 'perfect' A-2 all these years, but was always disappointed with some or all aspects of jackets I purchased from other outlets. I took a chance on your horsehide A-2 based on the color photo in your online catalogue. My search is over. Your horsehide A-2 arrived today and it is perfect. A close inspection shows that the leather is strong but not too heavy and the color is absolutely perfect- a light tan brown (many other companies us a leather dyed so dark that their jackets look black) and the details are first class. The overall stitching is correct, properly spaced on the seams, 3 to 5 stitches per inch. The collar has the extra strip of supporting leather which keeps it standing up. Many other A-2s do not have this reinforcement and after a few years of wear and aging, the collar lies flat and limp. Your hanging loop is not only stitched through the lining and attached to the back of the jacket as it should be, but is boxed stitched as well. The epaulets are cut straight. Many people desire thin epaulets but personally, I like the wider epaulets as long as the spacing between the box stitches allows for a noticeable underneath. I can get 4 fingers underneath. Likewise, your shoulder box stitching does not go outside the edge stitching. The snaps are either original WW2 stock or they are a perfect match. Additionally, your jacket is very reasonably priced. It is nearly $200.00 lower than Eastman's A-2. I rate this as the best A-2 I've owned. Thanks for producing a handsome, true to standard flight jacket. Well done!
cc: I discovered three more points of accuracy in your jacket (I missed them yesterday because I was so exited over the jacket). The extra spacing between the male side of the front zipper and the leather: other companies try to make the zipper look even on both sides, but this results in the male side of the zipper binding; yours is correct. The flaps on the front pockets covered the top squared off stitching on each of the top sides of the pockets. Other manufacturers either do not reinforce the edges or use a triangular stitch (this is okay- mass production of goatskin and steer hide jackets were done this way later in the war, but yours is more authentic). Also, your jacket appears to be veg dyed instead of drum dyed as WW2 jackets were done. I'm looking forward to seeing how this jacket ages and wears as a result. Again, GREAT job, I'm thrilled and can't wait for cold weather. (Posted on 7/21/2010)

Only say that the horsehide jacket A-2 Russet I purchased is a unique product for the following reasons: The excellent finish skin, speed shipping, good price ... all top
thank you very much Shaul (Posted on 10/15/2015)
- Vintage Goatskin A2 Review by Eric
- I was lucky enough to obtain a vintage goatskin A2 jacket in the sale section of the website. Thanks to Shaul's advice, I can say that the fit is perfect. The vintage goatskin is extremely supple and drapes beautifully right out of the box. The color and texture of the leather is awesome and the stitching is spot on. The delivery time was exceptionally fast and the customer support was great. This jacket compares very favorably with other more expensive A2 jackets that I have owned. In summary,I am very happy with the quality and customer service. Thanks Shaul!! (Posted on 8/7/2015)
- Vintage A2 Goatskin Worth The Wait Review by Missileman
I recently purchased the A2 in Vintage Goatskin after trying the A2 in horsehide and sending it back. The goat was everything I was looking for - particularly the "vintage" color. The thing to remember with the reproduction A2's is that the cut is different than a modern issue A2, or CWU-36/p. My other A2 is a recent USAF issue in 46R as is my CWU.The WW2 A2 is a 48 to get approximately the same fit.
The quick order fulfillment is also a huge plus. I ordered it on Thursday afternoon and had it on Friday (to Connecticut).
I looked at all the repro A2's out there - even had a spreadsheet to compare and contrast - Goodwear, Lost Worlds, G&B, Eastman, etc. and selected US A for the value.
From my perspective as a former USAF Captain (Combat Crew Commander) we wore what we were issued. Some guys had new stuff, some not so new. The truth is that even issue grade jackets were different - even from the same manufacturer. So all the A2 jacketeers who count stiches/inch, size of the grommets, and other goofy stuff would do well to take a breath - I'd have no problem recommending a US A A2.

14 cars damaged during couple's stripping game
Washington State Patrol Trooper Guy Gill said 23-year-old Joshua N. Sizemore and 18-year-old Amanda L. Madison were tossing large rocks from the trestle near Bridgeport way about midnight.
Sizemore and Madison were tracked down by troopers on the ground with assistance from a State Patrol airplane which captured video of the couple throwing rocks. Investigators said Madison was in her underwear when police caught up with the couple.
Investigators said the couple was playing a stripping game, which the couple in court referred to as "Sex Me", that involved removing an article of clothing depending on burned out headlights on passing cars, but it's unclear exactly how the stripping game tied into tossing rocks off the trestle.
The hit vehicles included a State Patrol cruiser, Gill said. One person was injured when a rock crashed through the window and bruised his arm, but did not need to be hospitalized.
"I think we very possibly could have saved a life," said Trooper Eric Hatteberg.
Both Madison and Sizemore were booked into the Pierce County Jail. In court Tuesday, they both pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of second degree assault.
Madison is being held on $50,000 bail while Sizemore is being held on $40,000 bail.
An infrared camera aboard a WSP plane captured the couple throwing rocks from a railroad trestle.

Committed to Sustainable Sourcing
In keeping with our commitment to evolve towards greater transparency, we travel the globe to identify and build relationships with supplier partners who share our commitment to sustainable sourcing. Knowing our suppliers and the origins of their crops helps us uphold a supply chain that is both socially responsible and environmentally conscious. This continual and complex process reflects our intention to honor planetary and human well being through our business practices.
Sustainable Sourcing: Our Core Beliefs
We require our suppliers to report on conditions on an annual basis. We strategically choose farms to visit to ensure compliance and full transparency. This is an arduous task and we have many stones to turn over, but processes are in place to make sure our partners are upholding our values and standards.
Below are New Chapter's standards for ethical sourcing:
Organic and Sustainable Agriculture
Environmental and ecological sustainability are integrally related to social welfare. Proper protection and fostering of the environment is imperative to ensuring that current and future generations continue to have access to the natural resources necessary for a good quality of life.
Raw materials are sourced in a way that ensures the ability of future generations to benefit from the bounty of these natural resources. Protection is also given to the local people for use of their own native assets. Favor is given to organically grown or wild crafted materials.
Business is inherently impactful. As a business, we understand this and work every day to make sure we are treading as lightly as possible on this planet we all share. In doing so, we encourage our suppliers to put programs in place to measure and reduce their environmental footprint. This includes but is not limited to carbon, water, energy, and packaging.
Welfare of People
It is our belief that a product intended to heal must be a healing force for every member of the supply chain. The healing vitality that a person receives from taking New Chapter product is directly representative of the energy given at the early start of our product development. Be it the way of the committed members of our team at our headquarters in Vermont or the steadfast workers harvesting in fields and mountains all over the world, that energy is transferred into every bottle.
Throughout our supply chain, from Vermont to India, it is our intention to engage partner's whose workers are treated with respect and provided with working conditions that are safe, healthy and balanced. Compensation is critical for sustainability, and we work to ensure members of our supply chain are paid in a manner that assures that they can provide the basic necessities for themselves and their families. Additionally, we promote equal rights, access to suitable housing, food, education, and health care, as well as freedom of expression, movement, association, and sufficient time for rest and leisure.
California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010
New Chapter is in the process of evaluating and identifying high-risk direct suppliers on a number of parameters including known risks and country location. Forced and child labor is included in the known-risk category.
New Chapter will work with a third-party auditor to develop an announced audit program if high risk suppliers are identified. The audit will evaluate compliance with company standards for environmental and social responsibility, including policies against human trafficking and slavery.
New Chapter asks that its suppliers disclose that materials incorporated into their products comply with the laws regarding slavery and human trafficking of the country or countries in which they are doing business.
New Chapter is developing internal accountability standards and procedures regarding slavery and human trafficking for its contractors and employees to follow.
New Chapter holds a yearly training program on human trafficking and slavery issues for members of management and employees who have direct responsibility for supply chain management.

The next massive M&A transaction that BHP Billiton's CEO Marius Kloppers fluffs could turn out to be his last. So in the interest of preserving his career a rewrite of its growth strategy should see smaller, sub-$10 billion deals in the coal and hydrocarbons space.
Kloppers' game plan of transformation via blockbuster M&A lies in tatters after the Potash Corp. fiasco. That isn't to say the Anglo-Australian natural resources behemoth should eschew acquisitions. But it would make sense to focus on smaller hydrocarbons deals that still have the potential to move the needle.
In oil and gas, a focus on companies with more than 15 million barrels of probable or proven reserves, such as Santos or even Linn Energy, would be significant.
BHP basically operates in four key areas, these being iron ore and steel additives, copper, coal, and petroleum. In the first two its dominance means little short of massive M&A would really make a difference. Of the second pair, this column has previously laid out the case out for bolt-on buys in metallurgical coal.
Like met coal, petroleum is a sector where bite-sized targets are a way forward. The sell-side community is excited about a potential BHP deal with Australia's Woodside Petroleum after Royal Dutch Shell PLC offloaded a 10% stake in the business and indicated its willingness to dispose of its remaining 24% holding within the coming year.
America's Anadarko Petroleum Corp. is an alternative name that has surfaced; its U.S., Algerian and Gulf of Mexico footprint dovetails well with BHP Billiton Petroleum. And it has $19 billion of undeveloped projects that a venture with BHP could accelerate, as well as shale assets.
But these are both big-ticket items, with enterprise values around the $40 billion mark. Even assuming zero premium, a full-blown takeover would put them in the top seven largest transactions ever for oil & gas, a sector with a much higher tolerance of huge M&A than mining ever had.
If shareholder anger following the Potash failure has been conspicuous by its absence that is likely thanks to a $4.2 billion share buyback BHP announced shortly afterwards. That isn't a hand Kloppers can play repeatedly.
Now that BHP Billiton's bid for Canada's Potash Corp. is a long shot, the Anglo-Australian miner would be better off looking for smaller deals that strengthen its core business.
One place to start is growing its metallurgical coal (met coal) presence in the Americas. A sizable acquisition target in that sector is Walter Energy, one of the purest metallurgical coal producers in the United States.
Walter's high-quality coal makes it ideal for use by steel mills around the world, especially for those in Europe and Brazil. What's more Walter is in the midst of searching for a chief executive, allowing the company's board of directors to set personalities aside and focus on the merits of a transaction.

Clusterstock: Thanks China, you just vetted BHP's Potash acquisition by trying to kill it
"The Chinese government [doesn't like BHP's proposed hostile takeover of Potash Corp.] at all, and is trying to block it by any means."
BHP Billiton's protestations notwithstanding, the cat's out of the bag: A potential takeover of Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan would likely yield assets that bankers should examine for divestment.
The possibility of divestments was highlighted last week when Bernstein Research analysts quoted BHP management as saying that, post takeover, the company would re-evaluate the entire BHP portfolio for core and non-core assets. Although the Australia and U.K.-based company promptly moved to defend the viability of all of Potash Corp's businesses, it's clear that the nitrogen division is the one that fits least well with BHP's portfolio.
Click here for our Excel calculator valuing Potash Corp's nitrogen business.
Should BHP succeed in the takeover, it would surely see interest in the nitrogen division, with companies such as Yara International ASA and Canada's Agrium likely to take a good look, although a significant financial stretch on their part would be required.
Potash Corp. is the world's largest potash producer, and produces all three major fertilizer types (potash, phosphate and nitrogen), but it's the potash–by far the most profitable–that's the main attraction for BHP. Resources giants like BHP have clear advantages over pure fertilizer makers in their ability to develop potash assets.
Put simply, potash extraction is a conventional bulk mining business, and one with which BHP is very familiar. Nitrogen fertilizer production–basically a chemical reaction relying on natural gas as a feedstock–is not.

Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks following an introduction of the new iPhone 5 in San Francisco. / Eric Risberg/Associated Press
Making predictions is dicey. But it's customary (and fun) to imagine what the New Year will bring in tech and determine how topics and trends that surfaced in 2012 will evolve. With that in mind, here are some of the areas that I'm keeping an eye on in 2013.
RIM comeback?
These haven't been kind times for BlackBerry maker Research In Motion, which probably did more to usher in the smartphone era than any other company. By last January, with the BlackBerry franchise very much in decline, RIM replaced longtime co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie. Current CEO Thorsten Heins faces a major test on Jan. 30 with the global launch of BlackBerry 10.
The newest BlackBerrys will include a touch model and one that exploits a traditional BlackBerry strength -- physical keyboards. I liked what I saw of very early prototypes, but they were just that, early prototypes. It remains to be seen not only what pundits think of the new phones but, more important, what the consumers and businesses that RIM needs to attract as buyers think.
Having enough compelling apps to compete against Google's Android phones, and especially Apple's iPhone, is critical. And even if the phones are well received, it doesn't mean RIM will have a winner at the cash register. Many folks (me included) like Windows Phone 8, for example, but such devices still lag behind the market leaders. I wouldn't consider RIM down for the count in this fast-changing market. But I wouldn't bet the farm on a major turnaround.
Apple TV
Forgive me if you've heard before that Apple intends to reinvent the TV market, blah, blah, blah. But Apple CEO Tim Cook lent credence to the rumors when he admitted to NBC's Brian Williams that TV is "an area of intense interest. I can't say more than that."
Apple, of course, already sells the Apple TV set-top box and could try to tame the TV experience by doing more to jazz up the product, perhaps with iOS-style apps and games.
But longtime Apple follower and Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster expects something more ambitious: an Apple-branded TV. Speaking at the recent Business Insider Ignition conference, Munster predicted that Apple would bring out a 42- to 55-inch TV set next November that's priced between $1,500 and $2,000. Features would include a simplified TV interface and remote control, voice control, FaceTime and apps.
Sales of Windows 8
OK, so Microsoft had its big launch party for Windows 8 in 2012. But next year is when we really start to measure Win 8's impact. The early reception is mixed. I appreciate the fresh touch-friendly, tile-based interface in Windows 8 and give kudos to the company for trying something radical. But people have been fretting about how dramatically different Windows 8 looks and behaves -- for starters, no more traditional Start menu.
Microsoft also confused matters by introducing two main flavors of Windows 8. An RT version optimized for mobile devices running ARM-type processors is incompatible with legacy Windows software, though it does run a special version of Office. Then there's the full Windows 8 version, which will run older programs. Microsoft charges $499 (on up) for the RT version of its Surface tablet.
Sales have reportedly been extremely soft, but Microsoft says it's adding retailers. Still, that doesn't bode well for the Intel-powered Surface with Windows 8 Pro, when it arrives in a few weeks, at $899 on up.
Kindle phone
CEO Jeff Bezos won't spill the beans on rumors that Amazon is working on a smartphone. What he will say is that Amazon doesn't make a whole lot of money selling hardware such as the Kindle Fire HD tablet. Instead, the payoff comes when you're lured into Amazon's vast content ecosystem for books, movies, TV shows and games.
The Internet of things
It's not likely to happen in a big way immediately. But you're going to hear a lot more about the Internet of Things, sometimes referred to as M2M (for machine-to-machine communications). Verizon identifies M2M as one of the key business tech trends for 2013. What is it? Think physical objects that connect to other physical objects and, ultimately, to you through the Internet.
Verizon believes that such connections now cover much more than smart-energy delivery and smart cars. The company points to elaborate networks of sensors that will have an impact on health care and digital advertising.
Mainstream 3-D printing
It seems like magic: You can create a physical model from a digital model. But 3-D printing is very real and has been used by industry for some time.
Three-dimensional printers contain the metals, plastics and other materials required to make a physical object. A company called Shapeways, for example, lets consumers design and print a variety of 3-D objects, from rings to iPhone cases.
Retailer Staples recently announced plans to launch a 3-D printing trial in Europe next year. Using the Staples Easy 3D service, you'll upload your digital model, then pick up the finished item in the store.
Nascent 3-D printers for the home are reaching more-affordable levels. Brooklyn company Solidoodle plans to ship its third-generation 3-D printer in January at $799; a second-generation model costs $499. Add $43 for the plastic to create the item.

I planted the save in "C:\Users\*USERNAMEHERE*\Documents\My Games\Borderlands\SaveData"
In an effort to fool BrL2. It didn't work.
So my question is...Is there a way to fool the game and get that content?
I would say it didn't work because PC-BL2 didn't recognize the Xbox-BL file, as mentioned above just download a PC-BL file from somewhere on the internet. Shouldn't be too hard.
I played borderlands on the xbox360 and have borderlands2 on PC.In effort to gain the perks of having a borderlands 1 save I searched and found one.
I planted the save in "C:\Users\*USERNAMEHERE*\Documents\My Games\Borderlands\SaveData"
Thing is I don't really have borderlands one on the PC.
So Boarderlands2 says It can't find the content.
I am wondering if its a "Steam" issue since borderlands 1 isn't in my steam profile? I made the path myself to be clear without having borderlands installed.Only reason I mention xbox is because I didn't buy the pc version of the original. Sorry for any confusion.I built the path,created a borderlands folder\in it made a SavaData folder and dropped the save in there. My hope being borderlands2 would look there for the save. It still tells me the save can't be found. So is it possible to fool it? Or would I have to have borderlands 1 from steam for the extra content?

Jon Kreider
Attitude: The first thing that jumps out at you when watching Scott Betros' tapes is his passion for the game. Scott Betros is your stereotypical football player. That's not to say I know anything about his pursuits of cheerleaders, but he pursues running backs with a reckless abandon. Betros plays the game like every play is his last. Though that is an overused statement, it absolutely applies to Betros. You can see Betros' personality come out on the field with his shows of emotion after stopping a running back in the backfield or picking off a pass over the middle. Betros is extremely aggressive. On runs, he tackles aggressively. When the ball is in the air, he goes after it aggressively. This leads to some big plays, and some mistakes as well. But as anyone who has every put on a helmet knows, it's better to be aggressive; tentativeness has no place on the football field and that's not a concern with Betros. His attitude becomes even more important at his position. Middle linebackers are the heart of the defense. They play in the middle and call the plays in the defensive huddle. It's going to be fun seeing Betros' lead the Deacons defense over the next few years. He brings an attitude and edge to the huddle that will help others around him. ...More...

November 26, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress is reconvening this week for what
could be a painful confrontation over how to put Americans back to
Lawmakers returning after a monthlong recess are in accord on at
least one thing: Jobs policy must be at the top of the agenda.
But there's little hope they will be able to put aside their
differences long enough to come up with legislation that makes
measurable improvements either to the unemployment rate or
Congress' dismal approval rate.
Even the main attraction of the first week back - President
Barack Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress - was put in
place only after a fight between House Republicans and the White
House over the timing of the primetime event, which has been pushed back a day to Thursday.

Hands on: Acer Liquid E1, Liquid Z2 handsets
updated 05:08 pm EST, Mon February 25, 2013
New entry-level, midrange smartphones
Acer was among several computer companies with a presence in Barcelona this week to promote their latest mobile electronics. The Liquid Z2 and Liquid E1 represent the Taiwanese company's push into the entry-level and midrange smartphone markets, respectively. We had a chance to try out both devices at Mobile World Congress, ahead of their official arrival later this month.
The E1 is the larger handset, though still smaller than many of the high-end behemoths that have become the norm in the Android market. It integrates a 4.5-inch IPS display with 960x540 resolution, a dual-core 1GHz processor, and a five-megapixel primary camera.
The Z2 steps down to a 3.5-inch display with 480x320 resolution, along with a single-core processor, though we were surprised to find that it was powered by Android 4.1.
Performance is on-par with other entry-level and midrange devices, and we were not expecting either device to be as fast as the flagship competitors outfitted with quad-core chips. Build quality seems to be decent for the intended markets, though neither exudes a particularly high-quality appearance.
Acer expects the E1 and Z2 to arrive before the end of March.

"The Six Dollar Man" serves up an impressive piece of art.
The vocoding is extreme on "Boom Room", a merciless platter featuring iconic Maggotron. This timeless tune is definitively here to demonstrate who's boss!
"My Interpreter" presents a retro yet powerful tune augmented with Chiptune C64/Commodore sounds, relentless vocoder and samples from the Kraftwerk repertory.
"OCD", a psycho-mental exercise from Debonaire where the Beat Technician unleashes the bass like never before while interlocking styles from California to Detroit in a thunderous way.
"Down By Law" turns into an instant mayhem crafted from freestyleish drums, spicy congas and heading guitar riffs, classic hip hop references and impressive scratch parts.
Mega remix of "Digital Stalker" by Spanish wizard Dark Vektor delivers a unique twist of funk break meets 70's synth moods.
"Counterfeit Stacks", CeeOnic along with co-pilot Debonaire, introduces a groove based upon sexy vintage synth strings and clever hip hop lingo.
On the West Coast style breakdance Electro Funk "Bounce Rock", Debonaire and Funkmaster Ozone walk into the boogie steps of Parliament & Funkadelic.
Croatia's N-ter remix of "Bitch Get Off My Myspace" delivers another milestone of dark synth machinery enhanced with tense sequences, awesome breaks and naughty arpeggios.
This co-production with Italy's Iceone is one of the catchiest and infectuous tunes on the album. Mechanical offensive "My Mind Is Going" provides a pure instant classic. Combination of powerful basslines, impossible to forget melodies and HAL 9000.
Aiming at you like a Desert Eagle .50 brilliant "Parabellum To Your Cranium", written with DJ Sonic injects a serious dose of aggressive energy.

The parents of a 7-year-old in Largo are outraged their child was taken out of school and hospitalized under a state mental health law.
The boy spent a night at Morton Plant Hospital before being seen by a child psychologist. Under Florida's Baker act, authorities can hospitalize someone involuntarily if they're a serious threat to themselves or others.
Authorities say the boy threw a tantrum so severe in his second grade class that it had to be evacuated. He allegedly stepped on a teacher's foot, tore up the room and "battered" a school administrator.
Barbara Smith says she could have corrected the situation if she were simply allowed to. She says she's now keeping him and a 9-year-old sister out of school because they're "scared to death" to return.

I got a call from a store asking if I wanted their sole bottle of VWFRR. Well.....OK.
I picked up a trio of HW16 375s at a small corner store in Boston. One for my brother on being a new dad, and two for me. I haven't seen this in the Chicago market for at least the last year so I figured it might be my last chance even though I paid a 33% premium over what I paid for my 750s.
The Boston no liquor tax policy helped close that gap though!

1 for you 2 for me... sounds good.
I grabbed a lone a DSP-354 Ritt100 sitting on a shelf full of new DSP-1's. I'll probably buy every 354 I see from now on as I'm not a fan of the new edition.

Apparently, these birds you can change.
Unlike the Lynyrd Skynyrd song, Free Birds (**½ out four; rated PG; opens Friday nationwide) is all about revisionism - at least from the point of view of a pair of animated turkeys.
What they're looking to alter is Thanksgiving, or more specifically the traditional role of the turkey in the holiday celebration. ...

Devilishly handsome Jon Hamm, 40, is on the cover of Esquire (March 2012), in which the writer fawns over him the way I might were I to be assigned the gig. Some tidbits—he taught high school drama in '95 to students including The Office's Ellie Kemper, he's been pals with Paul Rudd since high school and he once auditioned for "Jack Donaghy" (Alec Baldwin's role) on 30 Rock.

The Emmy noms are out, and it looks like Mildred Pierce, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire and Modern Family are the toast of the boob tube. (Remember when they had tubes?)

Matthew Stephen Herrick is shot by James Loy for Go Softwear, which has to be the worst name ever for an underwear brand, especially one whose ad campaign won't cause you to.
He's as close as we'll ever get to a mostly-nekkid BJ Novak shoot. They look alike, right?
Sarah Palin, a failed former governor of Alaska, teamed up with Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona to declare, "We are all Arizonans now!" in response to that state's contemptible new anti-immigration law, a law that clearly mandates racial profiling.
Well, not all of us. When Miss Oklahoma answered a question about the law tossed at her by The Office's Oscar Nunez, she replied that she is a big proponent of states' rights to hoots and hollers from the audience and said she supports Arizona's law. (But, um, like, she's against the racial profiling thingie.) This chick looked like a sure winner until then, but she lost to Miss Michigan, who was proudly pro-birth control, saying it should be free as part of every woman's health care and giggling, "Hi, Mom!" as she said so. Interestingly, Miss Michigan became the first-ever Arab-American Miss USA.
We're not all Arizonans. Not even all Arizonans are, not in this context.

Leather flying helmet, c 1946.
Image number: 10327658
Leather flying helmet with 10A/12401 headphones, an oxygen mask and a 10A/12570 microphone. At the outbreak of WWII (1939-1945), flying helmets had changed little since WWI (1914-1918), except that the fittings for goggles and oxygen masks were provided. The flow of oxygen to the detachable mask was controlled by a manually set regulator. Gosport tubes or radio microphones were used for communication between the crew. Made for the Air Ministry.

South Korea's Mirae Asset Securities Co. said Wednesday that it has decided to reduce the size of its Hong Kong brokerage unit, in the latest cutback by a securities firm in the region amid lower market volumes.
It didn't mention numbers, but noted that its Hong Kong office, which includes both brokerage and wealth management, has a staff strength of 38.
"The move to restructure Mirae Asset Securities Hong Kong reflects the current decline in global brokerage market activity, and will see a reduction in staff," the company said in a statement.
Citic Securities Co. is down 6% on Monday in Hong Kong after it was announced on the weekend it would buy brokerage firm CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, called "an insane asylum" by its chief executive.
Government-backed Citic said Friday it will pay $1.25 billion to acquire CLSA from France's Credit Agricole SA in two stages, the first takeover of a foreign brokerage by a Chinese company.
J.P. Morgan said in a note that the deal would lift its earnings forecast for Citic by 7% and return on equity by 0.5% for 2013. If executed successfully, Citic could become a "competitive international investment bank," particularly in dual-listed initial public offerings in Shanghai and Hong Kong, where it would have an edge over competing Chinese brokers. However, that would be a long-term consideration and hinges on whether China further opens its capital markets to foreign investment banks. In the next one to two years, JPM sees no revenue synergies from the deal.
Hong Kong's cutthroat brokerage industry is claiming more and more casualties by the day.
As the WSJ reports, Japan's Daiwa Securities Group Inc. and South Korea's Samsung Securities Co. are calling it quits on their expansion in Hong Kong. The two were among some of the most aggressive entrants into the market during the boom of 2010. Daiwa hired an eye-popping ten managing directors in Hong Kong that year.

In retrospect, it was downright humane of state Sen. Julie Denton to spare members of her Senate Health and Welfare Committee the ugly details of nursing home neglect and abuse last week before they voted to approve a bill to shield the industry from lawsuits. Why should members, before lunch, have to consider graphic testimony about bedsores, near-starvation, dehydration and bowel obstructions suffered by elderly, helpless people?
Instead, members got to hear sugar-coated testimony from the nursing home industry - as well as a lengthy infomercial from Ms. Denton, a Louisville Republican and sponsor of Senate Bill 9 - before members of her party helped vote it out of committee and onward to the full Senate.
In a brazen abuse of her power as committee chairwoman, Ms. Denton called for a vote on SB 9 immediately after industry supporters gushed about its benefits (mostly to themselves). Opponents got no chance to speak before the vote.
Some of the state's most influential advocates for the elderly, including AARP of Kentucky and Kentuckians for Nursing Home Reform - who had assembled to speak against the bill - were left staring open-mouthed, clutching fact sheets and prepared remarks as committee members voted and most left the room.
To mollify those pesky opponents, Ms. Denton told them they could still testify - after the committee had already passed the bill, after most members had left and after the cameras providing live coverage of the event were turned off, leaving no video record of what opponents had to say about SB 9.
"I don't think I have ever been in a situtation where I have testified about a bill that has already passed," said Jim Kimbrough, state president of AARP and one of Frankfort's most knowledgeable human services advocates.
The bill would create a "medical review panel" of three physicians to review complaints before a case could proceed to trial - a system no other alleged victim of maltreatment must navigate before filing a lawsuit. The alleged victim would have to submit the claim in writing and pay a $110 filing fee just to get before the review panel.
Opponents, testifying Wednesday to a largely empty room, provided some very compelling reasons why lawmakers should kill this bill.
Their information provides a starkly different image of the industry from that of Wanda Meade, chairwoman of the Kentucky Association of Health Care Facilities, the industry association, who complained in her testimony about big city lawyers who fly into Kentucky hoping to scoop up cash windfalls by suing nursing homes that labor every day to provide first-rate care.
To hear Ms. Meade tell it, the only thing holding her industry back from providing even more excellent care is outlandish litigation and big payouts.
Ms. Denton helpfully paved the way by assuring committee members she is confident the public can trust most nursing homes.
"There are always going to be a few bad apples," she said.
But for members of the General Assembly who are interested in the facts, here are some:
? Kentucky currently has about 23,000, mostly frail, elderly people who are residents in about 280 nursing homes. About half the homes have been cited by federal inspectors for a serious deficiency since 2009.
? 40 percent of the homes are rated at below average by the U.S. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services when it comes to basic health and safety.
? In 2012, Kentucky ranked first in overall federal fines for violations and one Kentucky nursing home racked up the nation's highest fines for the year.
? Kentucky ranks first in serious nursing home deficiencies that threaten the safety of residents.
Meanwhile, the nursing home business, dominated by large corporate chains, is booming, according to stock performance and CEO salaries, which average $3.3 million a year, according to a fact sheet from AARP.
SB 9 is the same industry protection bill lawmakers killed last year. Despite Ms. Denton's efforts to add more lipstick to this pig, it still oinks.
The House needs to put a skewer in SB 9 and roast it.

real time snowboard stats for videos
Hi, I'm a pretty average snowboarder who has been working on a geeky snowboard project ( AntiMap Video - http://vimeo.com/27648004 ) and was hoping to get some help and feedback, comments, suggestions on progress so far before releasing?
The project consists of 2 parts- a mobile application that records stats as you ride, and a desktop application which syncs the stats from your phone with video footage (not from the phone). All stats and visuals are auto generated. It was inspired by playing Shaun White snowboarding on Nintendo Wii.
I think the main use for these applications will be creating your own personal snowboard movies. Most snowboarders I know get out there cameras every now and then to do a little filming, this project requires the rider to also open up a mobile application and hit record. Place your mobile against your hip inside your pants/underwear (most stable and accurate readings from this position), and that's it. Later on when you get home, the desktop application allows you to sync your phone data with any video footage taken of yourself.
I was unhappy with the footage I got, just wondering if any snowboarders want to aid in testing, and help me cut a better video. All I need is someone with access to a camera, a decent android phone (iphone version coming soon), and some snowboarding skills. I'd love to see a park run, with a few clean spins (5's, 7's, etc) off decent hits. Email me at email@example.com if interested.
Here is a link to the video with longer description: http://vimeo.com/27648004
Applications will be released soon.
pretty cool man..props for creating that :thumbsup:
You used dubstep you are not serious.
Whats the track called?

I blame Boulder for dubstep.

Looks pretty cool. When you think the iPhone app version will be around? Need any other developers to help?
Could also be snorting bath salts.
IPhone version will be ready in a couple of months (50% finished). Am on holiday but this is first priority when I get home. Am building iPhone version with latest openframeworks. If you know how to access the 'speed' property from core location please email me, I'm stuck on that.

|Distribution of soluble uranium in the nuclear cell compartment at subtoxic concentrations.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21067124 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Uranium is naturally found in the environment, and its extensive use results in an increased risk of human exposure. Kidney cells have mainly been used as in vitro models to study effects of uranium exposure, and very little about the effects on other cell types is known. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of depleted uranium exposure at the cellular level in human kidney (HEK-293), liver (HepG2), and neuronal (IMR-32) cell lines. Cytotoxicity studies showed that these cell lines reacted in a roughly similar manner to depleted uranium exposure, responding at a cytotoxicity threshold of 300-500 μM. Uranium was localized in cells with secondary ion mass spectrometry technology. Results showed that uranium precipitates at subtoxic concentrations (>100 μM). With this approach, we were able for the first time to observe the soluble form of uranium in the cell at low concentrations (10-100 μM). Moreover, this technique allows us to localize it mainly in the nucleus. These innovative results raise the question of how uranium penetrates into cells and open new perspectives for studying the mechanisms of uranium chemical toxicity.

I have been keeping bottled waters to give to guests at meetings in my office and need to reorder. I understand the use of plastic bottles of water is not environmentally correct and want to do what is right. What suggestions can you give me so I can
Bottled water is unsustainable for a number of reasons. Their production is energy and resource intensive due to the actual production of plastic bottles as well as the energy needed to transport the finished products.
Tap water is your best option over bottled water. It is just as clean and safe, and oftentimes even more so. If you don't like the taste of tap water, there are a number of different filters available. Carbon filters (like the Brita ones) are very popular and help to get rid of unwanted chemicals or taste. The Brita filter is also recyclable. Whatever filter you pick, make sure that it is certified by NSF. Depending on how large your meetings tend to be, you can have reusable cups on stock, or encourage your guests to bring a reusable water bottle.Read More »
I am confused about the mixed recycling program. What belongs in mixed recycling, and where do I put recyclables?
Mixed recycling:
- Cardboard gets flattened and placed near paper recycling containers.
- E-waste and Universal waste depends on the location. In residence halls, these can be placed on the ground below the "e-waste" sign, or recycled at the building's service desk. In campus offices and other buildings, these items are either picked-up or mailed to Facilities.
We are in bit of a confusing time right now, as we update and standardize our recycling containers. We appreciate your patience!Read More »
Should bottles and cans be cleaned before they are placed in recycling bins around campus?
