President Obama thinks his administration has won a key victory in striking a nuclear accord with Iran, and he's asking his secretary of State to protect it. But when John Kerry comes to Congress on Tuesday in the hopes of persuading Congress to back the pact, he should count on anything but a warm welcome.
Members are already saying the interim deal between world powers and Iran does nothing to dull Tehran's nuclear threat, and members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee are already sharpening their knives: "Despite what the administration has said, this agreement does not hold Iran's nuclear program in its tracks," Chairman Ed Royce, R-Calif., told National Journal Daily.
For Kerry, it will be a familiar role: He's fresh off a Middle East trip attempting to reassure allies about the Iran deal.
But the stakes are especially high as a new round of talks resumes this week in Vienna. The White House has said negotiations might unravel if members of Congress follow through on threats to levy more sanctions, even if they take effect down the road.
Members, however, are not acquiescing. They fear sanctions relief will give Iran a "lifeline" just as it's beginning to cry uncle, Royce said, which could revive Iran's economy and, eventually, allow it to gain the capability to build a nuclear weapon.
Nailing down sanctions now — even if they are to begin after the six-month deal between world powers and Iran expires or founders — would give the U.S. "some leverage at the table," Royce argued. "Just because the president wants to play with a weaker hand doesn't mean that Democrats and Republicans in Congress should oblige."
In the Senate, new sanctions to target Iranian oil exports and revenue, foreign-exchange reserves held overseas, and additional sectors of the Iranian economy are under consideration. In the House, which passed similar sanctions in June, Majority Leader Eric Cantor is spearheading a bill to narrowly define the terms of an acceptable final nuclear deal.
Tuesday's hearing may turn into a wonkfest over contentious points on the negotiations, which aim to unwind a decadelong standoff over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
Members of Congress — as well as many leaders in Israel — object to the agreement because it does not require Iran to suspend enrichment and reprocessing activities. Critics say it's not enough that the Nov. 23 deal is meant to keep Iran's uranium enrichment below 5 percent, far below weapons-grade levels, and neutralize its stockpile of 20 percent-enriched uranium in exchange for some $7 billion in sanctions relief.
"It's a terrible deal," said House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., in a recent interview. "I do not believe it's in the world's interest to allow Iran to have the capability to enrich and process uranium."
Iran is not exactly helping matters, either, given its continued construction of a plutonium reactor in Arak. Royce said lawmakers from both sides of the aisle raised that issue last week during a classified briefing with the State Department's Wendy Sherman and Treasury's David Cohen.
Amid the suspicion, there's fresh gossip on Capitol Hill about a secret plan to constrict Obama's flexibility on sanctions. Although the president has the legal option to waive the measures temporarily if it is in the U.S. national security interest, some aides on the Hill say Congress is seeking ways around him. "We have looked at how to restrict the president's ability to endlessly waive sanctions," a Senate aide said.
But all this may prove to be more bark than bite. Already there are fissures between those who say the deal is doomed to fail and those who want to give the White House a chance to negotiate. "None of us here take great stock of these numerous legislative proposals on Iran sanctions," said one House Democratic aide.
The longer Congress waits and diplomatic talks continue, the "less appetite there is to pass legislation that could somehow undermine the progress or implementation of the interim agreement — especially when there's absolutely no way the president is going to allow anything like this to become law," the aide said. "It's just tough talk."

Perhaps Donald Trump can take a plebiscite to solve this whole messy immigration thing. At a Fox News town hall with Sean Hannity last night, Trump essentially admitted he's "stumped," turning to the audience and asking: "Can we go through a process or do you think they have to get out? Tell me, I mean, I don't know, you tell me."
Donald Trump "nearly quintupled the monthly rent his presidential campaign pays for its headquarters at Trump Tower to $169,758 in July, when he was raising funds from donors, compared with March, when he was self-funding his campaign." A campaign spokesman "said the increased office space was needed to accommodate an anticipated increase in employees," but the campaign's paid staff has actually dipped by about 25 since March. The campaign has also paid his golf courses and restaurants about $260,000 since mid-May.
Donald Trump probably isn't taking seriously John Oliver's suggestion that he quit the race. But he has canceled or rescheduled rallies amid questions over his stance on immigration. Trump rescheduled a speech on the topic that he was set to give later this week. Plus, he's also nixed planned rallies in Oregon and Las Vegas this month.
Donald Trump's Fox News brain trust keeps growing. After it was revealed that former Fox chief Roger Ailes is informally advising Trump on debate preparation, host Sean Hannity admitted over the weekend that he's also advising Trump on "strategy and messaging." He told the New York Times: "I'm not hiding the fact that I want Donald Trump to be the next president of the United States. I never claimed to be a journalist."

Longtime Christmas Bureau volunteers look to help others
Carol Speltz was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's
When the Christmas Bureau opens Thursday, longtime volunteers Carol and Karl Speltz won't be there.
Recipients won't visit with Karl at the ID table. They won't see Carol checking that all is running well, as she did in 2007 and 2008, when she co-chaired the whole thing.
A year ago, Carol, 73, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Karl, 74, her husband of 50 years, is her care provider.
The well-known couple – she was principal at St. Mary's Catholic School in Spokane Valley, and Karl was a career Army officer turned Central Valley School District administrator – decided against keeping her diagnosis secret.
They tell everyone. Karl hands out an Alzheimer's Association card that reads, in part: "My companion has Alzheimer's disease. I appreciate your patience and understanding."
The Speltzes are part of a national trend toward openness about the disease. Experts hope this will transform our society into one that embraces – rather than shuns – its 5.3 million citizens with Alzheimer's.
Where's my purse?
Carol kept losing her purse. This early sign started about two years ago.
"I'd be looking right at it but couldn't recognize it," she said in a recent interview at the couple's South Hill home.
Her longtime physician did some tests.
"Any appointment you had, he would always lay out five things," Carol said.
"He'd pull out his wallet. He'd lay a pen there. He'd slide his can of pop over. A cup. A pencil. And then he'd put them away, and then he'd talk to you for maybe 10 minutes.
"Then he'd say, 'What were those five things?' The very last time, I screwed up on all of them."
Carol then consulted a neurologist who recommended extensive blood work, analyzed at the University of California. The blood tests revealed that she possessed a gene linked to Alzheimer's.
Her favorite cousin, Joyce, died of Alzheimer's three days before Carol got her test results.
The genetic marker, though a strong indicator, isn't the ultimate proof, however. Some people possess a genetic predisposition, yet never develop the brain disease.
But a complete medical workup, such as the one Carol underwent, diagnoses Alzheimer's with 90 percent accuracy, according to the national Alzheimer's Association.
Carol's initial reaction to the diagnosis? Relief.
"I had prayed for years I wouldn't get cancer, because it seemed like such a debilitating disease," she said.
The Speltzes told their four grown children right away. Then they told friends.
When Carol and Karl traveled to Grants Pass, Ore., for her 1955 high school class women's luncheon, Carol stood up and said: "I have something to tell you."
She then educated the group on her Alzheimer's, in the same enthusiastic way she once taught history to eighth-graders.
Carol's short-term memories elude her, but she hasn't yet lost her older memories, or the majority of her words.
The Speltzes joined a support group, sponsored by the Alzheimer's Association Inland Northwest Chapter. This support group is fomenting a small but profound revolution in the way we talk, think and deal with the disease.
Laughter in two rooms
Gail and John Goeller of Spokane didn't keep John's Alzheimer's a secret, either, when he received the diagnosis in 2004.
"How can you omit Alzheimer's from someone's story?" Gail said.
The Goellers were already well-known in senior circles. They published an Inland Northwest resource directory for older adults, and Gail wrote the book "Coming of Age with Aging Parents: The Bungles, Battles and Blessings."
After John's diagnosis, they were the prime movers behind a new kind of support group, based on openness.
The early-stage Alzheimer's group has seven couples. It meets every other Wednesday at Providence Center for Faith and Healing.
The group divides in two: care providers in one room, those with memory loss in another.
"We're in rooms side-by-side," said Becky Tiller, facilitator of the memory-loss group. "We'll hear them laughing, and they'll hear us laughing. It's refreshing."
The groups tackle not-so-funny topics, too.
During a discussion of death one day, Tiller – who has led Alzheimer's support groups since 1987 – asked: "Would you wish for death over dementia?"
Initially, they wished for death. "But now, no," Tiller said.
In the care-provider room, facilitated by psychologist Darrelle Volwiler, spouses speak candidly about the stress, which has the potential to kill them long before the disease kills their loved ones.
The candor didn't always exist in previous generations. Early-stage Alzheimer's folks were sometimes placed in mental institutions or hidden away in homes, locked in by their family's shame and worry.
"They aren't locked away," Tiller said of the people in her group. "People aren't ashamed of them. It's forcing people to see the person, not the disease."
Memoirs written by those with early-stage Alzheimer's, and their loved ones, helped this openness trend grow nationally.
In the 2010 book "Jan's Story," CBS news correspondent Barry Petersen writes about the Alzheimer's journey with his wife, Jan, diagnosed at 55. She now lives in a care facility. Petersen visits often, but he is candid about being in another relationship.
Alzheimer's disease experts hope this openness will help with the coming "gray tsunami." The first baby boomers turn 65 in January. The majority of people with Alzheimer's are 65 and older.
Tiller, owner of Tiller Care Strategies, a geriatric care management company, says: "If you haven't been touched by dementia, you will, whether it's a spouse, a sibling, a parent. It will touch your life."
Gail and John Goeller do presentations to community and health care groups. Their hope? That others will open their lives to a family living with Alzheimer's.
"There are so many opportunities to integrate Alzheimer's people into the culture again," Gail said.
Friends take John golfing. Their 5-year-old grandson gently guides John home on short walks.
"And bless the Rosauers on 14th," Gail said. "I can still send him for one item. They see him coming and say, 'John, do you need some help?' "
'I didn't get lost once!'
The Speltzes traveled to Munich in October. They lived there in the mid-1960s when Karl was stationed in Germany.
Carol told Karl: "Before I forget things, I'd like to go back to Munich."
Their oldest son, Jon, traveled with them, so both could keep an eye on Carol.
"To lose someone in the airport, or in the Hofbräuhaus, you can imagine what it would be like," Karl said.
"When we got on the plane in Frankfurt, headed back to Seattle, Carol put her hands on her hips and said, 'I didn't get lost once!' "
Despite their openness, Carol and Karl feel their lives constricting.
"My skis will go away," Karl said. "My golf clubs are going away.
"It's not that I can't do them, or Carol wouldn't let me do them. I can't afford to get hurt. If both of us were down, we'd have to have full-time care."
Some friends have quit calling and visiting.
"It's not the fact they don't want to talk to her," Karl said. "I don't think they know how to talk to her."
Carol's been awed by her children's comfort and support. She hopes by the time they are her age, a cure will be found.
"At least they are aware it can be inherited. I was not," she said.
Though they can't volunteer this year at the Christmas Bureau, Carol and Karl plan to stop by to say hello to friends there.
"My heart aches for him sometimes," Carol said of her husband. "How many times do I say, 'Where's my purse?' Or 'What day is this?' I'm always repeating."
Karl, a retired lieutenant colonel, minimizes the frustrations.
"Some days are real adventures," he said. "And some days, we have our tears."
Karl once heard this saying: "Your price on Earth is service to others."
"Carol was service to me when I was in the military and gone a lot, and she took care of the four kids," he said.
"And now, I will be service to her."

TORONTO, Aug. 7, 2014 /CNW/ - The Board of Directors of Canadian Tire Corporation today announced the appointment of Michael Medline as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective December 1, 2014. The Board is also very pleased to announce that Stephen Wetmore has agreed to remain on the Board of Directors in a new, non-executive position of Deputy Chairman.
Mr. Wetmore advised the Board of Directors in early 2013 that as he was approaching six years as CEO he had completed many of his original objectives and with the Company in a very strong position, he believed that the time was right to begin to plan the transfer of the President and CEO roles to a successor.
The Board of Directors reviewed a number of qualified external and internal candidates as part of a normal-course and rigorous succession planning exercise, resulting in the appointment of Michael Medline as President of the Company in November 2013.
"Michael's first-hand knowledge gained while running many of our business divisions and the role he has played for years in developing our strategy and leading our acquisitions uniquely position him now to assume the CEO role," said Maureen Sabia, Chairman of the Board of Directors. "We will have as our CEO one of the industry's most innovative leaders."
Michael Medline has been a senior executive of Canadian Tire for more than 13 years and has led many of the Company's most strategic initiatives, including the acquisition of Mark's in 2002, the acquisition of the Forzani Group in 2011, the acquisition of Pro Hockey Life and the recently announced Scotiabank partnership in May of this year. He has also directly led the operations of many of the Company's business units, including Petroleum, PartSource and Canadian Tire's Automotive division, FGL Sports and Mark's. Most recently, in his role as President, Mr. Medline has led all of the Company's business units, including a focus on adapting their business models to be more relevant in a world of rapidly changing technology and customer expectations.
Stephen Wetmore joined Canadian Tire's Board of Directors in 2003 and was appointed Chief Executive Officer in 2008. He has led the evolution of the Canadian Tire brand and introduced a brand-led culture to the Company, while building a creative, innovative management team – all resulting in one of the Company's most exciting and fastest periods of growth in its history.
"Six years ago, the Board of Directors asked Stephen to lead us on a path of positioning Canadian Tire's iconic triangle as one of Canada's leading brands," continued Sabia. "We cannot thank Stephen enough for his enormous contributions to our success. The Company is now in an enviable position, with an impressive leadership team fully prepared to meet the challenges presented by the future and to meet the increasing expectations of our loyal customers. We are very fortunate indeed that Stephen has chosen to remain involved with the Company and we know that he will continue to make invaluable contributions in his new role as Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors."
"I am very proud of the team that we have running the Company today. For all of the strategic initiatives that will come and go, the glue that holds it all together is the talent, creativity and innovation of your executive team," said Mr. Wetmore. "Michael is an exceptional leader of this team and was the obvious successor for the CEO role as we began this transition late last year. I look forward to continuing to work with Michael in my new role on the Board and I know he will be exceptional in every regard as he takes on the leadership of the next chapter in the Company's evolution."
"It's a tremendous honour to be asked to lead a Canadian icon like Canadian Tire Corporation," said Mr. Medline. "Stephen is leaving Canadian Tire in a position of strength and with opportunities to build an even stronger Company. In a world increasingly driven by digital innovation and customer insights, we are extremely well positioned with the talent we have and the talent we are recruiting to meet the changing expectations of our customers. With the strong foundation and great assets we have, I am definitely optimistic about the Company's prospects for growth going forward," concluded Mr. Medline.
Canadian Tire will conduct a conference call to discuss information included in this news release and related matters at 12:00 p.m. ET on August 7, 2014. The conference call will be available simultaneously and in its entirety to all interested investors and the news media through a webcast at http://corp.canadiantire.ca/EN/investors, and will be available through replay at this website for 12 months.

Which chess books are your favorites?
Eric Schiller's "(Learn From) Bobby Fischer's Greatest Games".
It's very readable, in depth, and directly translatable to one's game.
Most of these are pretty good. That's why they are on the shelf next to my desk.
I love The Aggressive Player's guide to the English. I think that is its name. I also enjoy the starting out series.
Great collection you have there.
I love the Silman books.
That Gligoric's Best Games looks pretty good (I once found a book with a title like that at a thrift store, but it turned out to be a bunch of his columns from Chess Life...which were also pretty good). Hey, wasn't that Grandmaster Chess Tournament about one of the Wijk aan Zee ones in the 70s?
Yes. The Wijk aan Zee 1975 tournament book and Gligoric's Best Games are both RHM Press books from the 1970s. Back then, I also had the 1973 Soviet championship and 1972 San Antonio (the famous Church's Fried Chicken sponsored event), but sold these in the early 1980s. Karpov's Collected Games is also from the mid-1970s. These were the books I studied when I was supposed to be doing my high school home work.
I use Paul van der Sterren's Fundamental Chess Openings (FCO) almost every day. Databases have pretty much replaced general opening books unless they explain why the moves are being made and the general plans for each side. FCO does this quite well IMHO.
Winning Chess Brilliancies
Yeah, I also had that one...where both players annotated their games! Very cool idea (and like that Piatigorski Cup II one).

"America, is a marvelous idea, a unique idea, fantastic idea, I'm extremely pro-American. But America has ceased to exist," declares Doug Casey, an economist and author of his most recent book, Right on the Money. He has also produced a new documentary called Meltdown America which predicts the economic and political unraveling of the U.S.
Casey recently sat down with Reason TV's Nick Gillespie to discuss the political, social, and economic challenges the US must conquer as well as lessons we can learn from failed states.

He and the late Rex barney go back to palmers playing days....or so it seems.
Manny Machado is a bright spot in MLB. I'm pulling for him to regain his form and improve from there. I hope the Orioles handle this smartly and not push him into situations that will jeopardize his knee.3. sinicalypse Posted: March 16, 2014 at 08:42 AM (#4672296)

Let's not go overboard. He'll probably miss a few weeks at the beginning of the season; it's not like he's a pitcher with a torn labrum.7. Walt Davis Posted: March 16, 2014 at 06:52 PM (#4672509)
Let's not go overboard. He'll probably miss a few weeks at the beginning of the season; it's not like he's a pitcher with a torn labrum.
But it quite possibly ends any ideas of moving him back to SS. Well, not this hopefully minor setback but the knee injury itself.

Amora Murano Heart Necklace
Get to the heart of the matter Act fast. only 75 Amora Murano Heart Necklaces left in stock! Mastering the art of romance isn't just about seduction. Pick-up lines and occasional compliments are the tools of amateurs. Real romance takes commitment, practice, dedication. And the finest love-smiths around use every technique in the book. They write poetry. They show up on her doorstep holding a bottle of champagne. They learn to cook and dance. With the experts of affection,
nights happen just because. But most importantly, these courtship connoisseurs know that no matter how you act, it has to be sincere. It has to come from the heart. Here at Stauer, we couldn't agree more. But we also know that not everyone can express themselves like Casanova, and not everyone can afford secret romantic getaways. Thats why were giving you the chance to show her that you're a talented tender-heart (for a price that will melt your heart). Give her this absolutely radiant, genuine Murano Amora Heart! Where does one go to be in the presence of real passion? Well, when we set out to bring you this impressive handmade Italian work of art, we went nowhere but the birthplace of Casanova himself. In the homeland of that Venetian love legend, we were almost guaranteed to stumble upon something with unsurpassed sweetness. And lucky us, when we visited the Venetian island of Murano, thats just what we found. In Murano, masters have been creating delicately handcrafted works of art since the 13th Century, using techniques that have remained largely unchanged. Carefully spinning and blowing molten glass from enormous furnaces, the artists mold fantastic forms in colors that swim with light. Its an amazing process that (just like love) takes a lifetime to perfect. The Amora is a magnificent example of Murano Glass art. Hanging gracefully from an elegant silk cord that closes with a fine .925 sterling silver lobster clasp, the heart almost glows in resplendent red, while its smooth polished surface sends gleaming flashes of light in every direction. You may not consider yourself a master of love just yet, but with the Amora, at least you can show her that you're all heart.

George Zimmerman case: Judge orders to unseal some of state's evidence
SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. - The Seminole County judge overseeing George Zimmerman's murder trial has ordered some of the state's evidence against the accused killer of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin to be made public.
That means the public could soon learn more about what kind of case prosecutors have against Zimmerman.
Judge Kenneth Lester ordered the court file unsealed and that order was made public on Monday.
WFTV's legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said the file could include information like the probable cause affidavit and investigative reports.
However, the names and addresses of all of the state's witnesses won't be released because Lester has ordered that to be taken out.
Sheaffer said that could be because it's such a high profile and sensitive case.
Sheaffer said information including witness statements, forensic evidence and Martin's autopsy will be released in discovery.
But Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara, said he doesn't want to accept that discovery until the judge promises to also protect the identity of witnesses when it's released.
"That's when we'll really get a sense of what the state's cause is all about," said Sheaffer.
The next scheduled court date for Zimmerman is his arraignment next Tuesday, May 8.
Zimmerman has already entered a not guilty plea and won't be in court for the hearing.

Contralateral MRI abnormalities in candidates for hemispherectomy for refractory epilepsy
Address correspondence to Tove Hallbook, MD, PhD, Department of Pediatric Neurology, Lund University Hospital, SE – 221 85 Lund, Sweden. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Purpose: To assess the impact of contralateral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings on seizure outcome after hemispherectomy for refractory epilepsy.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 110 children, 0.4–18 (median 5.9) years of age, who underwent hemispherectomy for severe refractory epilepsy at Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital. In children with contralateral (as well as ipsilateral) MRI findings appreciated preoperatively, the decision to proceed to surgery was based on other features concordant with the side with the most severe MRI abnormality, including ipsilateral epileptiform discharges, lateralizing seizure semiology, and side of hemiparesis.
Results: We retrospectively observed contralateral MRI abnormalities (predominantly small hemisphere, white matter loss or abnormal signal, or sulcation abnormalities) in 81 patients (74%), including 31 of 43 (72%) with malformations of cortical development (MCD), 31 of 42 (73%) with perinatal injury from infarction or hypoxia, and 15 of 25 (60%) with Rasmussen's encephalitis, Sturge-Weber syndrome, or posttraumatic encephalomalacia. Among 84 children (76%) with lesions that were congenital or acquired pre- or perinatally, 67 (83%) had contralateral MRI abnormalities (p = 0.02). Contralateral findings were subjectively judged to be mild or moderate in 70 (86%). At follow-up 12–84 (median 24) months after surgery, 79% of patients with contralateral MRI abnormalities were seizure-free compared to 83% of patients without contralateral MRI findings, with no differences based on etiology group or type or severity of contralateral MRI abnormality.
Discussion: MRI abnormalities, usually mild to moderate in severity, were seen in the contralateral hemisphere in the majority of children who underwent hemispherectomy for refractory epilepsy due to various etiologies, especially those that were congenital or early acquired. The contralateral MRI findings, always much less prominent than those in the ipsilateral hemisphere, did not correlate with seizure outcome and may not contraindicate hemispherectomy in otherwise favorable candidates.

Our group is global. Sixteen CEOs come from the U.S., eight from Europe, four from Asia, and one each from Canada and Mexico. For profiles of the 30 leaders in alphabetical order click here.
We don't rely on any formula to draw up this list. It's based on the views of Barron's reporters and editors, and reflects insights from investors, analysts, and industry executives.
We like to see CEOs on the job for at least three years before we consider them, and we prefer a five-year minimum. It takes time to have an impact on a large organization, and developments in the initial year of a CEO's tenure often have more to do with what the predecessor did than any new initiatives. We made an exception for Google's Larry Page, who became CEO in 2011, because he's a co-founder of the company along with Sergey Brin and has played a key role in building the Internet giant into the country's third-largest company, with a market value of $270 billion.
THERE ARE NO EASY JOBS at the helm of large companies, but some businesses are particularly hard due to narrow "moats" around their markets. A longtime member of our list, Michael O'Leary, heads Ryanair, the no-frills European airline that has thrived in a brutal industry. The outspoken O'Leary last week inked a huge order for Boeing 737s and defended the aircraft maker, saying "regulatory crap" was behind the grounding of its 787s amid concerns about battery fires.

Fast Retailing's Uniqlo chain and Inditex's Zara aren't well known in the U.S., but they have become two of the leading clothing retailers in the world.
TJX has built a business with a $33 billion market value -- double that of Macy's -- by selling designer labels at sharp discounts in its T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores. Shoppers like the treasure-hunt aspect of the stores and the ability to get a Michael Kors handbag for $150 that supposedly once retailed for $350. TJX somehow manages to regularly source enough designer stuff to fill almost 2,000 domestic stores. Credit CEO Carol Meyrowitz with that feat.
You probably won't find Louis Vuitton bags at T.J. Maxx. CEO Arnault of LVMH zealously protects the image of his company's most important brand and insists that slow-selling items be destroyed rather than marked down or sold to off-price retailers. That attitude has helped create the world's top luxury-goods company.
Moonves has generated strong returns through superior management of an old-media portfolio that was deemed to be inferior to that of Viacom, with its cable networks, at the time of the two companies' split in 2005. CBS is the longtime leader in prime-time ratings, and Moonves has pushed hard to get paid for its costly content, wresting sizable annual "retransmission" revenue from cable operators.

East, who announced last week that he would retire in July, has fended off larger competitors, notably Intel, to dominate the processor market for mobile devices. He goes out on a high note, with ARM Holdings shares at a record. Since we removed Grant in 2010, Monsanto has cemented its hold on the market for genetically modified seeds, and profits have rebounded. We welcome them back.
We realize that readers may disagree with some of our selections or want to see other CEOs on the list. If you have any ideas, please write to firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to your suggestions.

Murder and Aliens in Lil Daggers' New "Dada Brown" Music Video
Is it really just a coincidence that secluded rural areas happen to be prime spots for both brutal murder and alien abduction?
Maybe. But if you ever find yourself stuck down a dirt road in the middle of fucking nowhere with some guy pointing a pump-action, pistol-grip shotgun at that diamond-shaped spot between your eyes ... There's only one way outta there.
That's right ... Aliens. So make like Lil Daggers' dark new vid for grungy garage cut "Dada Brown" and start praying for flying saucers to come zipping out of the sky on an extraterrestrial rescue mission.

Ipswich - a black hole.,
This review is from: The Olivetti Chronicles (Hardcover)
I read the article entitled Ipswich, from this collection the other day, on the basis that i was born and brought up there. It details a Peel DJ gig in the town....in which nobody turns up. He is back home and having his dinner by 9.30 having turned the wheels of steel to no-one at all. This just about sums up my disdain for my home town in terms of cultural pursuits and its inability to embrace anything at all beyond Jim Davidson and Frankie & Benny style chain diners. Its a black hole for entertainment and enjoyment. So its funny that Peel should have lived so close to it. Whats the rest of the book like? What do you think? Its Peel. He's the don. Stick it on your chuffing christmas list.

Pricing your Crafts by Multiplying

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Floating around in the How Do I Price My Work universe is the formula of multiplying; doubling (2x), tripling (3x), or quadrupling (4x) your Cost Of Goods (materials and supplies used to make your item). I think this formula has been around since the first crafter sold an item to her sister, neighbor, or friend. It's very basic and easy for those of us who are creative, but not so interested in complicated mathematical formulas. However, I think even if you use this type of pricing formula you need to make sure you are getting paid for your labor.
To find out more about this formula, head over to Creative Income Blog!

Undead Avenue
Über Goober
You step out onto the sidewalk and right away something feels wrong. Maybe it's the lack of traffic, the smell of smoke, or the extra trash blowing listlessly along the street.
Maybe it's the unnerving moaning in the distance.
Undead Avenue is a new take on the classic "escape from the city" urban Zombie Apocalypse story. You start in a section of downtown sealed off in all directions, maybe by accident, maybe because the government or the police or the National Guard doesn't want anyone, or anything escaping.
Unfortunately that includes you.
Choose your character type and begin your search for weapons, equipment, allies, and most importantly, a way out. The game has been designed for individual human miniatures to attempt to escape a zombie infected city. While it can be played as a standalone game,it can also be used as a prelude to the miniatures wargame Undead States of America.
This book contains the rules to simulate an urban zombie nightmare, along with cards to simulate character wounds, equipment, weapons, allies and newly learned skills, plus enough cut-out city markers to create an entire neighborhood. The rules are set to play in three acts, just like a movie.
Help other players or abandon them, hide the strangely infected bite on your arm or search for the zombie plague cure. Whatever you do, do it fast, before someone with a tactical nuke decides to contain the plague for goodE

Derived credentials will let feds use smartphones for ID
August 29, 2016
Government agencies will soon be able to replace the familiar Personal Identity Verification card with a smartphone equipped with a secure chip, two vendors say.

Researchers examined the salt content of more than 2,100 food items in seven product categories sold by Burger King, Domino's Pizza, Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Subway in the United States, Canada, Australia, France, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The food-product categories included savoury breakfast items, burgers, chicken products, pizza, salads, sandwiches and french fries. How the study was done The study found that sodium levels in similar foods varied widely among the countries, and that fast food in the United States and Canada contained much higher levels of sodium than in the United Kingdom and France. For example, McDonald's Chicken McNuggets in Canada contained 2.5 times more sodium than those in the United Kingdom. There were 600 milligrams of sodium (1.5 grams of salt) in a 3.5-ounce serving in Canada, but the same serving size in the United Kingdom contained 240 milligrams of sodium (0.6 grams of salt). The study appears in the Canadian Medical Association's journal, CMAJ. "Canadian companies indicate they have been working to reduce sodium but the high sodium in these foods indicates voluntary efforts aren't working," Norman Campbell, of the University of Calgary, and colleagues, said. "These high levels indicate failure of the current government approach that leaves salt reduction solely in the hands of industry," the researchers said. "Salt-reduction programmes need to guide industry and oversee it with targets and timelines for foods, monitoring and evaluation, and stronger regulatory measures if the structured voluntary efforts are not effective." High levels of dietary salt have been linked to high blood pressure and other harmful health effects. "Decreasing salt in fast foods would appear to be technically feasible, and is likely to produce important gains in population health - the [average] salt levels of fast foods are high, and these foods are eaten often," the researchers concluded.

Video: Leonardo DiCaprio Loses to Friend in a Playful Fight
A new video featuring Leonardo DiCaprio which apparently was taken at the Coachella has landed online. In the video obtained by TMZ, the star of "The Wolf of Wall Street" can be seen losing to a friend when they were having a playful fight on the grassy ground. In the 1-minute clip, some other friends can be seen sitting around the two and clapped when the winner emerged.
According to the site, the video was taken at Puff Daddy a.k.a. P. Diddy's Revolt party on Sunday, April 13. Wearing a white shirt, the actor looked like he had difficulties handling his opponent. The friend who wrestled Leo that day reportedly had a background in MMA.
The "Titanic" star recently made headlines after a man who looked like him was filmed executing hilarious dance moves among the crowd at the music festival on Sunday. At the beginning of the clip, the man can be seen shaking his body to the music. The 13-second video then shows him making kicking moves.
In other news, photos of Leo and his girlfriend Toni Garrn during their trip to Bora Bora last week recently emerged. The actor can be seen being shirtless when enjoying the sun and the clear water. The supermodel sported tiny bikini during the outing, but she ditched the top at one point to sunbathe.
