text: In 2006, I first campaigned for Charlie Brown. My choice to campaign again after a break of 42 years and cross party lines was due to utter dissatisfaction with the incumbent John Doolittle. Despite his total lack of ethics like holding to a "you pay me first before I listen" policy he still won re-election. If it were not for the criminal charges and need to spend more quality time with his defense counsel, I'm quite sure he'd be blithely seeking another term. Instead a candidate from outside our congressional district has graciously slunk into Northern California to replace him. Before blindly voting for Tom McClintock, could voters perhaps shed their party blindness and think for the bettterment of this country? I'm pretty sure in 2006 Charlie Brown failed against a dreadful Republican like Doolittle because party loyalty trumped the defects of the incumbent. Unfortunately we now face a world with new and unexpected challenges, so dusting off a candidate between offices isn't just good enough. Nor do we need someone held hostage to the dreadful policies of the Cheney-Bush administration. Please vote for a new and realistic vision namely Charlie Brown this November. James McDaniel, Roseville

"U wanted it! U GOT IT!!!"
Those words set the MMA world on fire on Wednesday afternoon when UFC president Dana White confirmed via his official Twitter account the super-fight between UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz.
The bout, which will be for the UFC welterweight championship, is locked in for UFC 137 on October 29. The fight will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Both GSP and Diaz have gone undefeated since 2007, compiling a total of 19 wins between the two of them.
Diaz has gone 10-0 since his previous loss, picking up victories in the Strikeforce cage over the likes of Frank Shamrock, Scott Smith, Hayato Sakurai, K.J. Noons and Paul Daley, along the way.
On the other side of town, GSP has picked up nine-straight wins in the UFC octagon over the likes of Josh Koscheck (twice), Matt Hughes, Jon Fitch, B.J. Penn and most recently, Diaz's training partner Jake Shields.
Diaz was initially scheduled to enter professional boxing, reportedly challenging former world champion Jeff Lacy in his first bout. Those plans are officially scratched, as the Stockton boy will re-enter the UFC octagon for the first time since UFC 65 in November of 2006, to challenge the seemingly unbeatable St. Pierre for his world championship.

Corps completes first Gold-rated facility at Hill Air Force Base
May 17, 2011
Story Highlights
- Corps completes work on new three-bay fire station, the first Gold-rated LEED project at Hill Air Force Base
- New $4.5 million fire station will support current C-130 and F-22 facilities at the air base
- LEED is an internationally-recognized green building certification system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council in 2000.

HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah (May 17, 2011) - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District transferred ownership of a new three-bay fire station to the Air Force during a ribbon-cutting ceremony here May 17. The district completed work on the $4.5 million project earlier in the month.
"This fire station was needed here on the east side, for all the development we have here currently and all the development that will take place in the future," said U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop, who attended the ceremony.
Joining Bishop were Maj. Gen. Andrew E. Busch, Ogden Air Logistic Center commander and host of the ceremony; Col. Patrick Higby, 75th Air Base Wing commander; Col. Kathryn Kolbe, 75th ABW vice commander; Lt. Col. Andrew Kiger, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District commander and other local military and civilian representatives.
Bishop also credited Sen. Orrin Hatch for his efforts in seeing the facility to fruition. "Between the House and Senate sides, this one of the things that is very positive of which we are extremely proud of," said Bishop.
The building is a first for both the Sacramento District and the base, said Kiger.
Originally designed to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating of Silver, the facility is instead receiving a Gold rating. LEED is an internationally-recognized green building certification system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council in 2000.
"This is a great milestone for Hill (AFB) and for the military as a whole," said Kiger. "It demonstrates our continued commitment to maintain and support the most effective fighting force in the world."
The single-story facility is 7,739 square feet, equipped with three aircraft / building fire fighting vehicle parking bays; a specialized exhaust system; equipment storage; a locker room area; living / sleeping quarters; offices; a kitchen; a decontamination room; and a physical fitness room.
"We wanted to make sure this facility would support the Air Base with its mission - but also that it would accommodate, in the best way possible, the great firefighters and personnel that would be working within its walls," said Kiger.
Among the capabilities that helped it achieve a Gold rating, the facility includes "all off" switches in the living / sleeping quarters, which as the name describes, turns off all electricity in the room; substantially decreasing the use of electricity by appliances such as fans or televisions inadvertently left on. This is an added benefit when responding to an emergency, as a fire crew member may need to exit the room rapidly and not be able to shut everything in the room off one by one.
Additionally, almost every room has some form of natural day lighting, along with energy from solar panels mounted on top of the facility, and the bathrooms increase water efficiency by treating and reusing sink and shower water in the facility's toilets. The water from the toilets is in turn used as irrigation water.
"Receiving a Gold rating under this system means that this facility is more efficient in every way possible, with minimal negative impacts on the environment," said Kiger.
Originally part of the F-22 Heavy Maintenance Shop Complex nearby, budget problems led to the fire station to re-designed as a stand-alone project in 2009. As such, it would be the first fire station built on Hill since 1943. It was also re-positioned to support the existing C-130 hanger along with the growing F-22 complex, supporting east-side development and future customers at Hill.
"It's very important that the east-side development that we are doing is mirrored by the emergency support that is provided by this facility," said Busch.
"I'm proud to be here," said Bishop, "but I'm also proud that we have a facility here, finally, that is worthy of the men and women who will be working in this facility."

I stated that no matter who won, they would not have a mandate. Given the state of the electoral college and the fact that FL is probably going to go to Obama... I would say that last night, the American people made a pretty strong statement.
I was not surprised to see NH go into the Romney column. I spent some time Monday making phone calls for the Obama campaign to NH residents and most of the people I talked to planned to vote for Obama.
I think the real winners last night were the voters. In droves, the voters let the corporations, the special interests and the political pundits know that we the people get to have the final say.
The real losers last night were the big money donors and the special interests. 6 billion dollars for essentially the status quo.
Lets not forget Obamacare. Now that the American people know more about what it is and how it benefits them, it became less of a campaign issue.
Scott Brown lost to Warren because he ran a lousy campaign. Unfortunately for Brown..he didn't get it until that last Suffolk poll came out. Then he changed his tune but it was too little, too late.
I think the lack of trust in the Republican Party to do the right thing cost them. The failures of the GOP leadership to distance themselves from clowns like Akin and Mourdock led to a fundamental distrust and cost them them the Senate.
Finally...I think Republicans in the House are going to be forced to work in a bipartisan manner. Last night's results clearly indicate that the American People are just blaming Obama for the gridlock in Washington. I think if the House republicans continue to be obstructionist...they will find themselves looking for other work in two years.

The Christmas Meal: What's Your Family's Tradition?by Joseph Erdos in Family, Holidays, December 18th, 2012
There's no doubt about it that turkey is synonymous with Thanksgiving. Maybe this year your family ate something other than turkey, like ham, but the bird really does symbolize the holiday no matter how you look at it. But what about Christmas? Is there a food symbolic of Christmas? Not really. Everyone does something different; maybe that's what is so special about the holiday.
FN Dish wants to know, what do you traditionally serve up around the holidays? Do you repeat the same turkey menu from Thanksgiving? Do you do a British-style prime rib with Yorkshire pudding? Or a Southern glazed ham with biscuits? Or a crown roast of pork or lamb? Every family has its special Christmas meal. What's yours?

Running away seemed like a good idea at the time...
The Widow Douglas is doing her best to civilise Huckleberry Finn, but it just isn't working. Wearing clean clothes, going to school, and having a hot meal waiting for him when he gets home are becoming boring and tedious.
So, to make his life more interesting Huck, as he is normally called, decides to join Tom Sawyer's gang of outlaws. However, when they fail to be the vicious ransom specialists they claim to be, Huck decides to forget about excitement and tries to give his civilised life another go. He attends school and minds his own business... for a while.
After his father turns up out of the blue and starts causing trouble, Huck decides he's had enough of normal life and sets sail on his raft for a secluded island. When he arrives he finds he's not the only one who has decided to live there. On the island, he encounters thieves, a flood that provides a nice surprise, con men, violent shootouts, family feuds and much more.
After so much adventure, Huckleberry Finn ends up wishing he was back at home, tucked up in bed after a hot meal. But does this wish come true, or do his adventures continue?
About the Author
Roland Mann is a writer, editor, speaker, and professor. As writer, he is best known for his work on Cat & Mouse, a comic which ran for nearly two years, garnered critical acclaim and led Roland to other work. Other titles Roland wrote include Rocket Ranger, Miss Fury, Planet of the Apes: Blood of the Apes, Krey and Demon's Tails. As editor, Roland is best known for his time as a Malibu/Marvel Comics editor where he edited The Protectors line of comics and many Ultraverse titles. Roland also served as Editor and Publisher of Silverline, a line of independent comics that included such titles as Switchblade and The Scary Book. Roland earned an MFA in Writing from Spalding University, a MA in English from the University of North Alabama, and a BS in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Mississippi. In addition to his work in comics, Roland has been a newspaper editor and an advertising flunky, but more recently he has taught English at the university level. He is also a frequent speaker at writing workshops/conferences where many find his sessions encouraging. Roland's first novel, Buying Time, was published in 2010 as were his graphic novel adaptations of the classic novels The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Roland currently teaches Creative Writing at Full Sail University and lives in Winter Springs, Florida with his wife BJ, daughter Brittany, and son Brett, where he is busy working on his next project. Updated information can be found on his website www.rolandmann.me where he also occasionally blogs.
Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an American humorist and writer, who is best known for his enduring novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which has been called the Great American Novel. Raised in Hannibal, Missouri, Twain held a variety of jobs including typesetter, riverboat pilot, and miner before achieving nationwide attention for his work as a journalist with The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. He earned critical and popular praise for his wit and enjoyed a successful career as a public speaker in addition to his writing. Twain s works were remarkable for his ability to capture colloquial speech, although his adherence to the vernacular of the time has resulted in the suppression of his works by schools in modern times. Twain s birth in 1835 coincided with a visit by Halley s Comet, and Twain predicted, accurately, that he would go out with it as well, dying the day following the comet s return in 1910.
Praise For…
This slender graphic adaptation of the Great American Novel preserves some of Twain's language, most of his plot and a good sense of his sardonic take on human society. Mixing dialogue balloons with enough boxed narrative to evoke Huck's distinctive voice, Mann packs in all of the major incidents and tones down at least some of the violence — the two con men are only "punished" here rather than specifically tarred and feathered, for instance. Similarly, though Huck gets viciously slapped around by his father in the pictures, in general there isn't much other blood visible. . . . A good choice for readers who aren't quite up to tackling the original, with perfunctory but well-meant notes on Twain's life and the history of slavery in the United States. Co-published with its prequel, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
— Kirkus Reviews
"I highly recommend Campfire's comics. They do what they are intended to do and do it in a way that excites kids about classic literature."
— Chris Wilson, The Graphic Classroom (a resource for teachers and librarians)

Additionally I don't think it's worth a new version, but the old version should have been updated instead. The graphics in both are very bad, but I had rated it decently since there was some worthwhile content. However in the case of this one, the issues mentioned made me give this one 1/5.

So many people apparently are incapable of avoiding games they don't like. I don't know how you guys survive on this site in general without that ability.
In any case, Kongregate is not a Flash only site and Flash is not the only game medium that's available. I really don't know where such a notion is coming from.

OMG this is just like frogger, its uses buttons to move things on the screen and you can lose if you don't do it right! What a ripoff!

The first time I played it was very difficult to determine where I should click and what I was supposed to do. I thought about going back to the tutorial but didn't feel like it. After I knew what to do it was a lot easier, but there seems to be a little bit of information overload & clutter while at the same time not enough information. The eye is not always completely drawn to the important part of the UI when it needs to be. This may deter some new players and may cause them to give up due to an initially steep learning curve.

Kurtkiller is right, he doesn't have 50 accounts, he has *100* now.
That means 100 out of the current 358 ratings (28%) seem to be from kurtkiller.

*@Trid:* So does the Level 1 glove ;)
*@Pespter:* The cage definitely has depth. The knight cutting your finger off is also based on where the sword is.
*@Split9102:* If you want less blood and gore in PtV, go to the options and turn the rating down. You can actually turn off all the blood as well as the mess created on the ground. It should run faster that way too.

Some fun elements, but I can't stand starting over because I got hit once or twice as well.
Most don't have trouble collecting coins. You need to manage your time and spells and not kill everyone at once. Pick up only one hut at a time and toss parachuters/gliders etc back in the sky until you are ready to deal with them. Also, if objects get in your way, grab them and scroll your mouse wheel or press w. That will move it out of the way. I usually click and hold w.
Feb. 25, 2008
*Some changes have been made:*
Coins are now frame based for slower computers, ads have been removed from this version and some attempts to fix bugs (like the cursor getting stuck) have been made.
Hope that helps some of you.
Feb. 17, 2008
*Matthew0275*: The game does have quality options and the option to turn off blood spatter and skeletons. Pause the game then choose "options".

I wrote a few days ago about my twin 29 week boys - now 4 weeks old.
My husband and I went to the NICU last night (once he got home from work - as I still am not cleared to drive) only to find that Twin A had been moved to an isolation room. Twin B was still in his regular room in his regular isolette. Apparently Twin As infection still hasn't cleared up (it's in his blood) and he now has another infection in the mucous in his nose that's airborn. I couldn't stop crying all night... His breathing was much better (not a single episode of apnea while we were there - the other day it seemed to be happening every few second).. and that doctor said he was stable. I didn't know what to do, but pray..
Has anyone had a similar experience?
I'm a little angry that the NICU didn't call to tell us about his room change and new infection. My husband told me that the nurses and doctor had me sign consent/permission for them to treat the twins as problems arose .. I signed this right after my c-section, literally right after. I seriously have no recollection of signing anything nor talking to anyone. I know that they are doing what's best for my sons.. but a call would have been nice - a little preparation. I'm also furious with my husband for not telling me about this permission slip sooner-- and allowing me to sign it!!!
I plan to go in today to get more information about his infections... also to spend time with the both of them.

Fruit Valley Orchard - A family owned business.
Jack & Martha
In 1985, Jack and Martha Torrice established Fruit Valley Orchard. After spending
years in Boston, running high rise office buildings, Jack decided a change for the
family would be good.
Buying a farm in upstate New York was his calling. Having never farmed before, they quickly learned from a good cooperative extension agent. With the help from their six children, Jack and Martha have been able to grow Fruit Valley Orchard into a 125 acres business.
We hope you and your family take the time to stop by the orchard and enjoy some fresh fruit, beautiful flowers from our greenhouses or take the family into the orchard to pick your own fruit.
Thank you for visiting our website and we hope to see you at the orchard.

Fort Hood honors fallen general with cannon salute
February 9, 2012
By Ms Christie Vanover (III Corps)
Related Links
FORT HOOD, Texas -- A cannon salute was fired Feb. 9 in front of III Corps Headquarters in honor of the late Brig. Gen. Terence J. Hildner.
The 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Commanding General died in Afghanistan Feb. 3 of apparent natural causes. Circumstances surrounding his death are under investigation.
Hildner's Family and friends joined Fort Hood leaders at the base of the III Corps flagpole as Soldiers with the 2nd Battalion, 20th Field Artillery Regiment, 41st Fires Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division fired eleven rounds in one-minute intervals.
The cannon salute is a traditional courtesy bestowed upon a general officer following his or her death. The number of rounds fired is associated with their rank.
Hildner took command of the 13th ESC Aug. 19, 2010, and deployed to Afghanistan with the unit in December as the NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan Deputy Commander for Support Operations.
This is the first time a logistics unit of this echelon has been tasked to deploy as mentors and trainers as opposed to their traditional role as a senior logistics headquarters.
During the unit's deployment ceremony Dec. 8, the general said, "What we're being asked to do in Afghanistan is to change history…We're going to train the Afghan leadership on how to run, manage and operate a sustainment network that involves supply, transportation and maintenance.
"The folks that you see standing up in front of you and the parts of the folks in the ESC that are going to be back here, love them, be proud of them because they are the key for the American Army to leave in 2014, and that's where we can draw our strength from as a Family," he continued.
During the unit's uncasing ceremony in Afghanistan Jan. 14, NTM-A Commander Lt. Gen. Daniel Bolger re-iterated that message.
"We normally don't think of logisticians as war winners in their own right, but we should," Bolger said. "The Afghan army and police today already have the basic parts of their combat service support. They have depots, they have trucks, people and commodities, but what they lack is knowhow and leadership and a relentless determination to get what's needed most to those under fire … and the 13th has all of that."
Hildner spent more than six years of his career at Fort Hood, and this was his second assignment with the 13th ESC.
"I can think of no better place and no better group of people that I would want to go downrange and make history with," he told 13th ESC Soldiers and Families before leaving Fort Hood for the last time, Dec. 8. "At the end of the day, it is about how we take care of each other. I'm proud to be a part of this organization."
A memorial service for the general will be held at 11 a.m. Feb. 18 at the Spirit of Fort Hood Warrior and Family Chapel. The funeral is scheduled for 8:45 a.m. (EST) Feb. 29 at the Memorial Chapel at Arlington National Cemetery.

- By Jack Giroux
- @JackGi
- December 6, 2012
There has been plenty of speculation over whether Khan (Khan!!!!) will appear as Star Trek 2's villain. This trailer — which is packed with tons of footage for a teaser — almost feels like a confirmation that Khan is indeed the antagonist of Star Trek Into Darkness. While no character outright says his name,...

I had never seen a Star Trek episode or movie until I saw J.J. Abrams' Star Trek. Afterward, I watched a handful of the first season, caught Khan and then dug deeper into Next Generation thanks to my wife's loving insistence. The short version: I'm by no means a Trekker....

Would it be cool if Chris Pine fistfights a sentient nuclear bomb named Fat Man in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness? Of course it would. Unfortunately, they've gone with a human villain which means that we'll be deprived of that gift to humanity(unless the set footage was an elaborate...

Robert Charles Wilson - Burning Paradise cover art and synopsis reveal!
- Published in Book News
Burning Paradise is the upcoming book by one of our favorite writers Robert Charles Wilson and we are happy to reveal to you the cover art and synopsis! Set in the 2015 around nineteen years old Cassie Klyne, Burning Paradise will be published on November 5, 2013 by Tor Books.
Order your copy here:
Amazon US | Amazon UK
Cassie Klyne, nineteen years old, lives in the United States in the year 2015—but it's not our United States, and it's not our 2015.
Cassie's world has been at peace since the Great Armistice of 1918. There was no World War II, no Great Depression. Poverty is declining, prosperity is increasing everywhere; social instability is rare. But Cassie knows the world isn't what it seems. Her parents were part of a group who gradually discovered the awful truth: that for decades—back to the dawn of radio communications—human progress has been interfered with, made more peaceful and benign, by an extraterrestrial entity. That by interfering with our communications, this entity has tweaked history in massive and subtle ways. That humanity is, for purposes unknown, being farmed.
Cassie's parents were killed for this knowledge, along with most of the other members of their group. Since then, the survivors have scattered and gone into hiding. Cassie and her younger brother Thomas now live with her aunt Nerissa, who shares these dangerous secrets. Others live nearby. For eight years they have attempted to lead unexceptional lives in order to escape detection. The tactic has worked.
Until now. Because the killers are back. And they're not human.

Analog physical security solutions continue to be replaced by more advanced IP solutions. The benefits are clear, and if IT integrators arm themselves with the key features of IP solutions, they will be well on their way to migrating their customers over to these productivity-enhancing solutions, while serving as trusted advisors to their customers.
Scalability – As businesses expand or look to implement a new security system, it's easier to scale with an IP solution. Whether it's at the same store or on the other side of the world, placing a security solution on the network enables continued growth. What's more, as price points on IP solutions continue to come down and the size and range of projects change, IP solutions allow end users to do much more than an analog solution.
Quality and Breadth of Products – Higher image quality cameras, including megapixel and HD, are driving IP camera growth. The size and range of products provides increased flexibility, allowing cameras to be used in a number of verticals in a variety of ways, from people counting and traffic flow analysis to point-of-sale integration and remote viewing from anywhere in the world. In addition, analytics are available at the camera, as opposed to the processing end, helping to limit bandwidth and make the systems more versatile and efficient.
Ease of Use – Dealers are gaining more knowledge through education and training opportunities provided by their distribution partners. Through this, they can deliver a level of expertise to their end-user customers, as well as insight and advisement on the solutions that will best meet their individual needs. The more knowledge the dealer has, the more trust the end user will have in him.

Matthew Broderick Hasn't Been to the High Line
What are you waiting for?
The High Line is one of the most popular new-ish sights in all of Manhattan, having hosted over six million visitors since opening two and a half years ago. But, despite living nearby, Matthew Broderick isn't one of them. "I didn't go up to the High Line, which I live two blocks from," he told us last night at Christine Ebersole's opening night at the Café Carlyle, when we asked him which New York-y things he's been meaning to do. "That's when you really know you're from New York — you don't even bother when something is 100 feet from your house, even when everyone's talking about it!" Oh come on, Matthew, don't be so blasé. Next time you fake sick, go check out the High Line! It's so close, you won't even need your Honda CR-V.

The Toronto stock market was little changed Tuesday following a string of gains while China's leadership indicated it would take measures to support the economy and commodity prices slipped.
The S&P/TSX composite index edged up 3.06 points to 12,761.44 after running ahead for the past four sessions as traders bought up beaten down mining and energy stocks.
Canadian National Railways (TSX:CNR) was in focus after the railroad handed in earnings that beat expectations following the close Monday. CN earned $717-million or $1.69 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, up from $631-million or $1.44 per diluted share a year ago. Ex-items, CN earned $1.66 per share, up from $1.50 per share a year ago and four cents ahead of estimates. Revenue totalled $2.67-billion, up from $2.54-billion and slightly below estimates of $2.7-billion and its shares dipped 41 cents to $104.65.
The Canadian dollar was ahead 0.32 of a cent to 96.99 cents US after retail sales for May came in much better than expected. Statistics Canada reports that sales ran up 1.9 per cent, much higher than the 0.4 per cent gain that economists had expected.
The agency said the largest sales increase in dollar terms was a 4.3 per cent gain at motor vehicle and parts dealers.
Chinese media said Premier Li Keqiang had said that growth wouldn't go below seven per cent. He also said that China's economic growth needs to be kept above that minimum, according to Beijing News and reaffirmed 7.5 per cent as this year's growth target.
The report cleared uncertainty about how much China's government would let the economy slow as it tries to shift the basis of growth toward domestic consumption and away from reliance on exports and industrial investment.
U.S. indexes were higher as traders took in a solid earnings report from chemical giant DuPont and looked ahead to earnings from Apple Inc. after the close.
The Dow Jones industrials gained 48.57 points to 15,594.12, the Nasdaq composite index rose 4.41 points to 3,604.8 and the S&P 500 index climbed 2.18 points to 1,697.71.
DuPont's quarterly net income totalled just over $1-billion, or $1.11 per share, compared to $1.16-billion, or $1.23 per share, for the same period last year. Revenue fell one per cent to $9.8-billion. Wall Street analysts surveyed by FactSet were expecting income of $1.27 per share on revenue of $10.04-billion and its shares rose 5.6 per cent in New York.
Meanwhile, analysts expect Apple to report another drop in earnings along with flat sales. The company's iPhone 5 is facing stronger competition from newer smartphones. Apple shares were off 0.4 per cent in New York.
Also after the close, online video streaming company Netflix said it earned $29.5-million, or 49 cents per share, in the latest quarter, up from $6.2-million, or 11 cents per share, a year earlier. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast earnings of 40 cents per share. Netflix's revenue climbed 20 per cent from last year to $1.07-billion, mirroring analyst projections. But it failed to meet expectations for new subscribers and its stock declined 0.5 per cent.
The gold sector gave back some of Monday's runup of over six per cent, down about 1.3 per cent while August bullion lost $5.30 to US$1,330.70. Bullion ran ahead $43 Monday in its biggest one-day gain since June, 2012 and Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX) gave back 25 cents to C$18.
The base metals sector was up 1.1 per cent with September copper unchanged at US$3.18 a pound after gaining five cents. Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) climbed 46 cents to C$24.43.
The energy sector gained 0.27 per cent while the September crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange was down 84 cents to US$106.10. Prices fell almost $1 Monday following the release of soft existing home sales data and fell further Tuesday morning ahead of the latest inventory data. Wednesday's report on U.S. crude and fuel stockpiles from the Energy Information Administration will be watched for confirmation that the recent trend of falling inventories, which suggests stronger demand, is continuing.
Sharp drops in U.S. crude supplies for the past three weeks have helped propel oil to its highest in about 16 months. Canadian Natural Resources (TSX:CNQ) rose 15 cents to $34.55.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 0.8 per cent while Seoul's Kospi rose 1.3 per cent after South Korea's government said it will unveil a new set of measures to boost the stagnant real estate market including lower taxes on purchases of properties.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.3 per cent.
European bourses were positive as London's FTSE 100 index gained 0.13 per cent, and Frankfurt's DAX climbed gained 0.2 per cent and the Paris CAC 40 ticked 0.18 per cent higher.

First Skeptical, Now Impressed
This review is from: GUNNAR Computer Eyewear - Wi-Five Onyx Frame
Pros: Ideal for people who are constantly at their computer reading long document, or going through lines of code, day in and day out.
Cons: The amber lenses are certainly not for people who look at pictures, or watch movies, on their computer daily. Gunnar makes a clear lens which is designed for people that need the full color spectrum.
Other Thoughts: I make my living sitting in front of the computer, reading security articles, implementing networks and servers, and developing software for just about any device possible. As such I am constantly in front of the computer reading variably sized text for extended durations each day.
Did you find this review helpful?
Lab tested :D
This review is from: GUNNAR Computer Eyewear - Wi-Five Onyx Frame
Pros: I read all the reviews before buying. Half of the people loved them and half got dizzy and hated them. I wasn't sure if their (Gunnar's) research was real or if it was all just marketing.
Cons: A prism might happen in wrap-around type glasses like these. If I understand correctly, it is when the focus of one lens is shifted above or below the focus of the other -- like if you wore your glasses on a slight diagonal across your face.
Other Thoughts: We also tested the other claims. The eye doc said the yellow tint is really common for reducing glare. Also, a rose tint is common for this. Essentially it turns the harsh, bright whites into something more calm.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?
Head Issues
This review is from: GUNNAR Computer Eyewear - Wi-Five Onyx Frame
Pros: The glasses are nice to look at and have great style. They do give some relief from bright florescent lighting in offices.
Cons: The slight magnification messed with my head a little too much. Up until a year ago I wore glasses every day for 20 years. I put these on and after about 2 hours my head felt like it was spinning....which is never good. Of course with any type of glasses YMMV.
Other Thoughts: Cool to look at, but might not work like you want them too. I'm sure some one has had good luck with them.
