Verizon's Venus Is a Beauty
The new LG cell phone from Verizon Wireless is well designed, with a touch screen and music features that outshine the Chocolate's
Editor's Rating:
The Good: Beautiful, practical music phone with great sound and over-the-air music download capability
The Bad: Doesn't come with a headset, no scroll wheel, and the touch screen is inoperable during calls
The Bottom Line: A great music phone—at half the price of an iPhone
Whenever I hear the word "Venus," commercials for women's razors pop into my head. Now, cell phones do, too, thanks to a flashy new music phone built by LG and introduced by Verizon Wireless.
Although Venus was purportedly designed with women in mind, I'll tell you this much after playing with the phone for a week: If only women love cell phones that are beautifully designed and practical, then Venus is indeed for them. In reality, Venus should appeal to anyone who craves a music phone but doesn't want to pay $400 for an iPhone or doesn't want to switch to AT&T (T), the exclusive U.S. carrier for Apple's (AAPL) phone.
Everything You Need at Half the Price
Granted, the Venus is less capable than the iPhone. The "slider" design features two large screens on the front surface: a 2-inch display on top with sharp, bright colors and a 1.75-inch touch screen below it. Obviously, this touch display is a lot smaller than the 3-inch one on the iPhone, and it doesn't feature Apple's finger-swipe scrolling innovation. The Venus also lacks some of the iPhone's cool applications, such as easy-breezy maps and true Web browsing.
Yet at $200 after a rebate and the purchase of a two-year service contract with Verizon Wireless, it also comes at half the price of the iPhone. (Those who would rather sign a one-year contract can get the Venus for $270.) And unless you're a heavy-duty mobile Web user or plan to do lots of typing that would make a full keyboard useful, this phone has most everything you need, including a 2-megapixel camera and a microSD slot that accepts memory cards with up to 8 gigabytes of storage. The phone also comes with 135 megabytes of internal memory, which isn't a ton but more than some handsets.
With its black-and-chrome finish, the Venus has the same understated, elegant looks that helped turn the iPhone and the Chocolate into best sellers. (Another version is being introduced in a less understated, hot pink—a truly girly color.) Oddly, this music phone does not come with a headset, though perhaps LG and Verizon have accepted that mobile music lovers often buy high-end headsets anyway.
The heat-sensitive controls on the touch screen help avert unintentional commands. For example, if you touch it accidentally while, say, lifting the device off the table, nothing happens. You have to want to press the screen icons for them to work. The screen responds when tapped with a nail (important, perhaps, if you are a female). And the touch buttons vibrate to let you know your press was registered.
Better Than Chocolate
As a mobile music player, this handset easily tops even LG's Chocolate (BusinessWeek.com, 7/20/07), a music phone I've been raving about for more than a year. I do wish the phone had a scroll wheel, though. Without it, you need to scroll through long lists of songs by holding down a control on the screen, a process I found slow and inaccurate.
You can launch the music application from the touch menu or by simply pressing a dedicated button on the side of the phone. Then, kick back and enjoy: The speakers are amazing—probably the best on any music phone I've tried. The sound comes through crisp and clear, almost as if you're sitting right in the recording studio.
Venus also allows over-the-air song downloads over Verizon's wireless network. Most music phones—including the iPhone—don't offer this capability, but buying music this way tends to be much more expensive than purchasing it from iTunes and other online stores.
Another wonderfully convenient, uncommon feature: You can search your song collection from within the music application. Just enter the first letter in a song's title, and the application will immediately take you to the right section of your list. That said, I wish it was a little easier to set modes such as shuffle without creating playlists.
Drawbacks Are Easily Overlooked
The camera software is also top-notch and extremely easy to use, which isn't common. Once the application is launched, you press buttons like "take" and "video" on the touch screen. And when you play a slide show of photos, the phone's display automatically switches to horizontal orientation for easier viewing.
One annoyance with the phone function: Once calls are patched through, the touch screen becomes inoperable. This makes some sense in that you wouldn't want to accidentally push any buttons when the phone is pressed against your cheek. Still, this locking function makes it difficult to access basic phone options such as mute and speakerphone. You need to press a side button first to unlock the phone, then hurry and press mute on the touch screen before it locks up again.
Overall, I've found the Venus's good qualities far outweigh these little inconveniences. The way this music phone sings may be just what it takes to get that lady's shaver out of my head.

Ski-Weekend Cooking
There's nothing like a warming meal to cap off a day on the slopes. If you're renting a cabin for a weekend of skiing, the recipes featured here will provide delicious inspiration for quick and easy dinners. Cook a hearty bowl of chili or a warming split pea soup laced with spicy andouille sausage. The aromas will entice everyone into the kitchen. Beef stroganoff served over tender egg noodles makes a satisfying supper. And cheese fondue is always a favorite for après-ski. Add a tossed green salad and a bottle of wine, then savor your meal in front of the fireplace.

Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
I personally find the idea of Sting being made in gondolin beside Glamdring and Orchrist hard. I dont have any clue as to where it was made, but i like the idea of it being created in Doriath.
'Now he drew it out. It shone pale and dim before his eyes. 'So it is an elvish blade, too,' he thought; 'and goblins are not very near, and yet not far enough.'
'(...) But somehow he was comforted. It was rather splendid to be wearing a blade made in Gondolin for the goblin-wars of which so many songs had sung; and also he had noticed that such weapons made a great impression on goblins that came upon them suddenly.'
JRRT, The Hobbit
Probably judging from Elrond's explanation of the weapons that were found, although Elrond speaks of Glamdring and Orcrist specifically, Bilbo seems to believe his blade was also from Gondolin.

Allergies Health Center
Food Allergies: Tips for Eating Out
Food Allergies: Know What to Avoid continued...
"You really have to be aware of hidden ingredients. Your allergen could be lurking in breading, a salad dressing, baked goods, or sauces, then it might not be obvious when your meal arrives," says Jonathan Field, MD, director of the Allergy and Asthma Clinic at NYU Medical Center and Bellevue Medical Center in New York.
You should also know the other names for your offending foods. Sometimes, Rosenstreich says, products used by chefs -- such as mixes for sauces or dressings -- list ingredients by alternate names. That means if you're going to request that something be left out of a dish, it's vital to know all the terms, including derivatives under which your allergen may be listed.
The FDA considered this step so important it instituted the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act in 2004, which mandated that all food manufacturers clearly label product ingredients as they relate to eight major food allergies by 2006. Before the law, people with a dairy allergy, for instance, may not have realized that the ingredient labeled "casein" was really a protein from milk. Now the product must say "milk."
Still, experts caution this law only pertains to the eight most common food allergens: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, and regular fish. These are responsible for more than 90% of all U.S. food allergies.

LETTER: Traffic is the same with one building or two
Published: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 at 8:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 at 8:05 p.m.
Dear Editor: Robert Parsons, president of the Forest Lake Homeowners Association, in The Tuscaloosa News' story about a new joint Little Caesars and Dunkin' Donuts location, claimed that allowing those two locations to share one building would cause traffic to increase to "impassable levels." I have to wonder why The News didn't point out that adjacent to that location, a brand-new shopping center will soon be built. Did Mr. Parsons object to that project, or does he expect the owners to operate shuttle services from parking areas well away from the Forest Lake neighborhood?
Other questions: Was Mr. Parsons citing any actual studies? And exactly how does he expect two separate buildings to result in less traffic? Is there something about that particular arrangement that is supposed to reduce demand for the two businesses and therefore make that location not profitable enough to build on?
Mr. Parsons doesn't seem to be making any sense. It's too bad our city government is paying him any attention.

Borrego Springs, California
Borrego Springs: There's Nothing for Your Type Here
- ssesha, CNN iReport producer
We stopped to buy some water at the only convenience store in Borrego Springs. The town has no stoplights or a single chain restaurant (thank goodness) and a total of dozen street lights.
The cashier looks us up and down in our high-heeled sandals and "Sex and the City" summer hats and says, "What are you up to here?"
Me: We're journalists doing a travel piece on Borrego Springs.
Cashier (with a look of disbelief): Why? There's nothing here for your type.
Me: Well, maybe that's just what my type needs.
Cashier (full of skepticism): Good luck with that.
Alarmed but not dissuaded by that warm welcome to Borrego Springs, we headed out to one of the main attractions of the area – Galleta Meadows Estate. Driving on a forlorn road out of town with nothing but ocotillo cactus and a few isolated houses, I began to question what we were looking for and then suddenly with all the shock and awe possible… a life-size metal sculpture of a lion attacking a zebra materialized on the horizon.
Then another horse off in the distance. A 30-ft wing span bird to the left. A sloth, a camel and on and on.
Dennis Avery, owner of Avery labels, bought up hundreds of acres of the area and hired artist/welder Ricardo Breceda to decorate the landscape of sand and shrubbery with enormous, life-like animal metal sculptures. It's like Marfa, TX and Burning Man in one.
And Breceda captures the animal kingdom from birth to death, modern to prehistoric – from adorable scenes of a baby camel drinking milk from its mother to viscous frozen moments of a tiger about to devour a zebra to a gigantic eagle in flight.
On both the north and south ends of Borrego Springs Road, Breceda's 129 pieces of land art decorate the landscape.
Recently, he added a few people to the desert safari as well such as Spanish explorer and Governor of New Mexico of the late 1700′s, Juan Baptista de Anza. The largest state park in the lower 48 states of the area, Anza-Borrego Desert Park, is named after this influential Spaniard.
Yet Breceda's masterpiece in size and skill to date is the 350 ft angry dragon that spans both sides of the road.
The cashier misjudged us a bit – our city glam crew was absolutely floored by this desert's secrets revealed.
Between the stargazing at night, as Borrego Springs was awarded the second-ever Dark Sky Community (after Flagstaff, AZ) by the International Dark Sky Association, and the stunning badlands, hikes and old railroad tunnels to discover at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park – the cashier pegged us so wrong.
In its solitude and silence, Borrego Springs is the balm for the urbanite's soul…

This is another of Buñuel's witty satires of the bourgeoisie, strongly reminiscent of Viridiana, less caustic but stylistically more refined. It is a very intelligently structured film, almost flawless in terms of directorial technique but at the same time, virtually flawless in its critique.
There is not very much which can be said about the plot. The whole film concentrates around a group of people which includes characteristic types of the bourgeoisie - for example, a bishop, a former military officer, an ambassador - who gather for a meal but they can never eat it because they are interrupted by all sorts of unexpected events.
Buñuel fuses ingeniously dream and reality and carries the notion of illusion to extremes. He combines the minute mannerisms and savoir vivre of the bourgeois type with the bourgeoisie's gross indifference towards substantial issues and the result is often hilarious, often astonishing in its rang of perception. Politics, sex, religion, ideology are all placed under close scrutiny by Buñuel's sensitive eye. Laden with some well placed symbolism - the moment of cunning seduction of the revolutionary by the bourgeois - and with some unique injections of Surrealism, The Discrete Charm..., is ultimately a film of brilliant twists and turns, a humorous treatise on sociability which finds its best expression in the bourgeoisie. Buñuel's eclectic cast is uniformly sensational and is led by Fernando Rey, Delphine Seyrig and Stephane Audran.
The Discreet Charm... was awarded the Oscar for be foreign-language film in 1972, an indication perhaps of the bourgeoisie's own attempt to legitimise and incorporate within its sphere self-criticism. Buñuel though gives his answer with a particular sequence which recurs in the film, namely with the bourgeois group on the road to nowhere.

The Brookings Institution recently unveiled "The Detroit Project", a plan to revive Detroit, in the New Republic.

What Happens When California Defaults?
The California Legislative Analyst's Office recently reported that the State faces a $21 billion shortfall in the current as well as the next fiscal year. That's a problem, a really big problem. My young son would say it was a ginormous problem. In fact, it may be an insurmountable problem. read more »
Nurturing Employment Recovery
President Obama's quick exit from Oslo and late arrival in Copenhagen suggest he's finally ready to shift focus from Nordic adulation and fighting climate change and diplomacy to fixing the American economy. About time. As former Clinton adviser Bill Galston observed recently, the president needs "to pivot and make 2010 the year of jobs."
White House operatives, as well as the Democrats in Congress, know high unemployment could bring big political trouble next year. But in their rush to create new jobs, policy makers would do well to focus on the quality of jobs created over the next year and beyond. read more »

Demographics May Be Destiny, but Mind the Assumptions
Demographic projections have become an essential tool of national, state and local governments, international agencies, and private businesses. The first step in planning for the future is to get a picture of what the terrain is going to look like when you get there. That's mainly what I do for clients, audiences and subscribers, and demographics provide the frame (like assembling all the straight-edge pieces of a jigsaw puzzle first). read more »
There is no "Free Market" Housing Solution
The common line used by advocates of housing affordability has been that the solution lies in "free markets". Yet this "free market" solution does not address the fundamental problem which is really a political one.
This true fundamental problem is particularly evident here in Britain, the leader in house price inflation and housing financial bubbles since the 1970s.

Barack Obama may be our first African-American president, but he's first got to stop finding his muse in Scandinavia. With his speech for the Nobel, perhaps he's showing some sign of losing his northern obsession.
On the campaign trail, Obama showed a poet's sensitivity about both America's exceptionalism and our desire to improve our country. His mantra about having "a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas" resonated deeply with tens of millions of Americans. read more »
Will New Urbanists Deliver A Home-Win With Miami 21?
By Richard Reep
"A walkable city, more like… Manhattan, Chicago, or San Francisco," is how The Miami Herald characterizes the future of Miami under Miami 21, the new form-based code adopted on October 22nd by the Miami City Commission. This seems to be the hot new dream not just of Miami, but of all cities struggling under corruption and greed, codes and regulations, with an imagined underground urbanity, yearning to breathe free. Citizens may now expect to see Miami remodeled after cities that grew before the car came, but the lyrics to The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" echo in the minds of some: "Meet the new boss…same as the old boss." read more »
DUBAI: A High Stakes Bet on the Future
I picked up a copy of The Wall Street Journal-Europe on the concourse while boarding my Emirates Air flight from Paris to Dubai. The lead story provided an unexpected relevance to the trip – my first to Dubai. Dubai World, owned by the Dubai government, had announced a 6-month moratorium on payments of some of its $60 billion in debt. Since the announcement, stock markets have been dropping and recovering, company officials have attempted to calm borrowers and government officials have provided considerably less assurance than Dubai's investors would have preferred. read more »
Capping Emissions, Trading On The Future
Whatever the results of the Copenhagen conference on climate change, one thing is for sure: Draconian reductions on carbon emissions will be tacitly accepted by the most developed economies and sloughed off by many developing ones. In essence, emerging economies get to cut their "carbon" intensity--a natural product of their economic evolution--while we get to cut our throats.
The logic behind this prediction goes something like this. Since the West created the industrial revolution and the greenhouse gases that supposedly caused this "crisis," it's our obligation to take much of the burden for cleaning them up. read more »

We felt that the visual identity of the brand should capture the energy, passion and creative thought behind it. We are happy that our new logo is bang on target in that."Inkfruit since its launch in 2007 has been a co-creation venture in the pursuit of creating amazing fun & creative merchandise."Over the years Inkfruit had become synonymous with awesome graphic T-shirts. However, the collection has expanded from just T-shirts to a lot more - bags, flipflops and laptop skins being the most recent additions and we wanted our new visual identity to capture our vivacity," said Navneet Rai, co-founder, Inkfruit.The company will spread the new brand through a complete digital communications campaign and has also roped in Mavcomm Consulting as public relations partner to communicate the changing facets of Inkfruit.

NBA Tickets
National Basketball Association - NBA Tickets
In 1946, the very first professional basketball game was played at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Ontario, between the New York Knickerbockers and the Toronto Huskies. At that time, the league was known as the Basketball Association of America, or BAA, which hosted most of its games in large arenas in key cities in the United States and Canada. In 1949, the BAA and NBL reached an agreement to merge the two primary basketball organizations, which resulted in the formation of the National Basketball Association. By 1950, the first non-white player, Wataru Misaka, a Japanese American, became a member of the New York Knicks. Once this happened, the NBA integrated African Americans into the league, giving rise to legendary players, such as Earl Lloyd, who was the first African American to play in a game. As the NBA, the league was responsible for 17 teams; however, the league consolidated to 11 teams by 1950 and only eight teams by 1954.The Original Eight
The original eight teams from the BAA/NBL merger still exist in modern NBA times; while the locations may have changed, the team names were kept. These teams include the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks,
Today, the NBA consists of 30 teams, most of which are in major cities throughout the United States; however, only one, the Toronto Raptors, is located in Canada. The Vancouver Grizzlies were once part of the Canadian side of the NBA, but the team relocated to Memphis, Tennessee , in 2001. Los Angeles is the only city that hosts two NBA teams: Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers. Both teams are positioned in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. Of the states that host NBA teams, California ranks first with four franchises: Kings, Warriors, Clippers and Lakers. Texas ranks second with three teams: Mavericks, Spurs and Rockets. Florida also hosts multiple teams: Miami Heat and Orlando Magic.NBA Finals
During the regular season, each NBA team plays 82 games, but only eight teams can qualify for the playoffs. Seeded one through eight, each teams plays its opponent in a best-of-seven series; this means that the winner of four games advances to the next round. After the second round, four teams advance to the Conference Finals; afterward, the two teams represent the Eastern and Western Conferences in the NBA Finals for a best-of-seven series to see who is crowned the champion.

It would appear that they're playing in too hot conditions to be playing football in... football as u know is a fast & tough sport.. and to play that type of sport in such heat will cause heat exhaustion.. and the body can only take so much!!!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

this could be the biggest argument foe rotation yet
from what i gather raffa keeps records of players energy levels and fitness and if the drop below a certain level they don't play
with the amount of games played, the amount of stress on players to perform training public appearences,newspaper exposure,travelling to games,many have children to care for,wags to maintain
it must be a grueling scedule

Just read in the Daily Mail that Clive Clarke of Sunderland on loan at leicester collapsed at half time during the Carling cup tie at Forest.
He had to have his heart started twice by paramedics.
Luckily he is stabilising in a local Hospital.
So thats three players. At least he looks like he's on the mend.
armchair supporter i think u may be right. With the cases of foe, puerta and now this zambian player one factor remains consistent and that is that the temperatures were 35-40 degrees and that is far too hot to be playing a fast paced sport such as football. What about the temp though in the carling cup match? it couldnt have been as hot as that.....

'The Scottsboro Boys:' Review Revue
The new musical "The Scottsboro Boys" tells the real-life story of nine innocent African American teens who were wrongly put on trial in Alabama for raping two white women in 1931. The show features music and lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb (the Tony-winning team behind such shows as "Cabaret" and "Chicago") and was directed by Susan Stroman ("The Producers") — and, in a controversial move, the show also features minstrel numbers and main characters who appear in blackface. Here's what critics are saying.
- "It's exciting to see "The Scottsboro Boys" on Broadway boasting so many things a musical should have. That includes good songs, a provocative story (not from a movie), a rousing staging and a hugely talented cast…"Scottsboro Boys" isn't perfect, but it's worthwhile. It deserves credit for tackling a slice of history that needs to be known." [Joe Dziemianowicz, New York Daily News]
- "It is impossible not to be thrilled by the electrifying craftsmanship of Susan Stroman, the director and choreographer. The period pastiches of the John Kander-Fred Ebb score are cunningly wrought, and the ensemble cast, led by John Cullum and Joshua Henry, is as good as it could possibly be…The problem is that all this formidable talent has been enlisted in the service of a musical so smug that I could scarcely bear to sit and watch it." [Terry Teachout, Wall Street Journal]
- "The Scottsboro Boys isn't a precision-guided social endoscopy: It's a single, stunning blow to the temple. And on its own discomfiting, blunt-force terms, it's utterly successful." [Scott Brown, New York]
- "Audiences—especially those of a sensitive nature—are bound to feel squeamish about tapping their feet to the infectious ragtime beat as police brutality is depicted and the jokes about lynching pile up. The uneasiness is intentional, but that doesn't make it any easier to handle." [Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times]

Stabbing On Video [VIDEO]
WIVB.com has posted a stabbing which was caught on a video surveillance camera outside of a Convenience Store on Pierce Avenue in Niagara Falls. It seems two girls had an ongoing dispute that culminated in this incident outside the store…. here's the video…but be warned before watching…. it may be very disturbing to some.
Ok…the video is what it is. It's pretty evident that Jazzie Bennett, who is being charged as the "SUSPECT" was (in this scenario) the original victim as she RAN AWAY! HELLOOOOOO! Sound familiar?
As I watch this and recall Mr. Zimmerman stating to the 911 Dispatcher that "He's (he being Trayvon) running"; I can't help but imagine that this is the way things may have gone for Trayvon. So will it end up that Trayvon as well will be deemed the "SUSPECT" and Zimmerman (who followed / chased him) will turn out to be the "VICTIM" (unfortunately Trayvon didn't have a knife or weapon…only Skittles & Iced Tea).
C'mon!!! What!!! How is it you run away from danger and then defend yourself and YOU are now in trouble? HUH?
Here's another incident (a video) I'd like you to watch (ironically in Niagara Falls again) and tell me if you think Jazzie Bennett, or the 10 year boy who stabbed a woman in the following video, should be charged with ANYTHING? Why are the aggressors… in the Jazzie Bennett situation…and the 10 year old boy scenario…just walking around FREE? Why? How?…AND….in light of the fact that George Zimmerman also "SUPPOSEDLY" defended himself and actually KILLED someone…why or how is it that a seperate state in this "UNITED" States has a law that virtually protects the aggressor and that he is also walking around FREE? I just don't get it….I just don't. Maybe you have an answer… watch and comment!

Achieving Ecological Objectives

AbstractThe legal objective for surface water in the EU is 'good ecological status', as established by the Water Framework Directive, with a timeframe of 15, 21 or 27 years. To reach this objective, suitable legal instruments are needed, and quality standards are among the instruments intended to improve the ecological status. However, both the Directive and quality standards are founded on reductionism, risking an over-application of over-simplified concepts, probably reducing biological diversity. A realistic and more appropriate timeframe for river basin rehabilitation would be around 100 years, emphasizing several concerns, such as the importance of encompassing the entire life history of species, the shift in human perceptions, the systemic unity of humans and ecosystems, environmental irreducibility, site-specific reference points, and the divergence of the assessment of water quality and the general ecological status of a river basin. From a legal standpoint, a century emphasizes a temporal agreement and a normative commitment to the generations to come. Ecologically, a century time-scale gives enough time for the processes of evolution, dispersal and recolonization and succession to re-establish stable, more diverse biological communities in physically rehabilitated habitats and river basins, whereas the present timetable for achievement of the ecological objectives does not.

Affinity Gaming announced that its credit-card transactions had been
hacked and warned its 300,000 customers to take steps to protect
themselves from identity theft.
FBI spokeswoman Jenny Shearer
confirmed that the agency was aware of the problems with the Sands
sites, but she declined to say whether the FBI had launched an
investigation. Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield said he was not
aware of the issue.
The Morning Call in Allentown, Pa., posted
screenshots of the sites before they were taken down that showed a
picture of Sands CEO Sheldon Adelson posing with Israel Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and a message condemning the use of weapons of mass
The sites featured a list of confidential employee information and Social Security numbers, according to the Morning Call.
The hackers also disrupted some of Sands' internal systems, leaving employees without access to their company email accounts.
Adelson, who is known for having a fiery personality, has been outspoken in his support for Israel.
October, he floated the idea of dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran, saying
strength was the only thing the country understands. During a forum at
Yeshiva University in New York City, he imagined what might happen if
the U.S. began negotiations over the country's nuclear program by
launching a strike on the Iranian desert.
"Then you say, See! The
next one is in the middle of Tehran. So, we mean business. You want to
be wiped out? Go ahead and take a tough position and continue with your
nuclear development,' " he said.
The hackers, who signed their
work "Anti WMD Team," may be "hacktivists," or people who attack
websites to send a political message.
In 2010, the
loosely-affiliated group Anonymous hacked major credit card sites,
including Visa Inc., after the companies declined to process donations
to WikiLeaks. In 2012, hackers targeted Sony Corp. in response to
company's support for anti-piracy measures.
Other Las Vegas-based casino companies reported no problems with their sites Tuesday.

Les Miles, LSU Tigers cut loose on gridiron for Harlem Shake
UPDATED 12:47 PM CDT Mar 19, 2013
The Mad Hatter is also a "Harlem Shaker," it would seem.
LSU Tigers football head coach Les Miles shook it up with the team in their version of the Harlem Shake.
The Harlem Shake is an Internet meme in the form of a video in which a group of people dance to a short excerpt from the song of the same name.
The meme exploded on social media with students, football teams, organizations and others posting YouTube videos of their own versions.
The football team is the latest group of such posters in the viral video sensation.
The video had over 170,000 views by Tuesday.

While some residents opt to mulch or compost their leaves, the majority of Sikeston's residents will take advantage of the City's Leaf Collection Program which begins Nov. 19.
The leaves are to be placed on the back of the curb - not in the gutter line or on the street, and no further than 4 feet in the yard. Residents should place only leaves on the edge of the street, so that they may be picked up in as timely a manner as possible. Also residents should keep in mind that crews cannot operate onto private drives.
No limbs or trash should be mixed with the leaves.
The city is split into four sections for pickup: Northwest, Southwest, Northeast, and Southeast Sections.

You want to go to law school and now youre starting to think about the actual application process, and inevitably, the LSAT. Before you make this very significant and expensive decision, I would feel that I was abdicating my duty, as a former lawyer and as a compassionate human being, if I didnt take a few minutes to make sure you have fully evaluated this major life choice. Ask yourself why you want to go to law school.
Prior to endeavoring to take this very annoying, very single purpose exam, you need to figure out the answer to that question. Watch this video. Read the comments on Above The Law and think about whether you want to work with people like that. Check out The Peoples Therapist, a blog written by an attorney turned therapist, lamenting the interminable slog that is a legal career. Read the comments on his blog too. And of course, talk to lawyers that you know. Law school is a very serious financial and time commitment, and no longer the ticket to a life of prosperity as it was once thought to be.
All of that being said, if you still want to go law school, youre going to have to take the LSAT. Law schools for the most part look at two things: your GPA and your LSAT score. (Sure they read your essays and recommendations, but if you dont have the numbers, youre almost definitely out of luck.) A lot of people dread this test, thinking of it as an obstacle instead of a potential credential. But really, this is great news for those of you who may have slacked off in college and dont feel like your GPA is a good representation of your potential. If you do well on your LSAT, you can balance it out.
Deena Shanker is a writer living in San Francisco. After moving to the west coast from New York City in the fall, she is loving San Fran's beautiful weather, colorful architecture, and never-ending vegetarian food options. She loves visiting the beach with her dog, Barley, and eating cheese (also sometimes with Barley). She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School and Barnard College.
Once you know when your test is, you can start to decide how youre going to get ready for it. I highly recommend taking a prep course of some kind. These days, there are a lot of options when it comes to taking these classes. You will be paying good money for this, so its important that you pick the one that is best suited for your needs and habits.
The biggest reason to pay the money for a prep course is that it will teach you to take the test systematically, to recognize question types and understand how to answer them, and it will provide you with the resource of an instructor. Though you shouldnt think of an instructor as a personal tutor, you can spend a few minutes before or after class, or during the breaks, to speak with your instructor about specific questions something you will never be able to do with a book.
There are several reasons that one may decide to hire a tutor for the LSAT. You may be doing relatively well on the practice exams, but want to nudge your score up a few more stubborn points. Or you may be doing terribly on your practice exams, and you just dont know what youre doing wrong.
If you are in the second group, I highly recommend that you again reconsider your decision to take the test and go to law school. It is what it is, but the LSAT is generally a good indicator of how well a person does in law school. If you are really struggling with this test, you should evaluate whether law is the profession for you. There is nothing wrong with not being a lawyer! The logical reasoning is not particularly fun or better than any other type of thinking, and if you discover early on that your brain doesnt work that way, embrace the message the universe is sending you and figure out how your brain does work.

Water, Fire, and Malibu Lights
By Kimberley on Dec 13, 2008
As I write this, much of New Hampshire is without power.   After an impressive ice storm, many trees took down power lines.   At 1:47 am Friday morning, we lost power in Warner.   That was about 40 hours ago.
Like many of our neighbors, we have a generator for these rare emergencies.   Our home is wired to support the water pump, the oil furnace, a couple lights and two power sockets run off a generator.   And that's good enough!
In the past two days, we have come to appreciate access to water, first and foremost.   Not only for ourselves, but for the horses, chickens, dog and bird.   Next, we are glad we stocked up on firewood.   The woodburning stove not only provides warmth and a bit of light, it is kinda fun to cook on!
But the real challenge is lighting.   Especially for the 20 horse barn, which is not wired for the generator.   However, after a full day of cold but strong winter sunlight, we found our solar powered Malibu lights placed every 12 feet along the aisle are good enough to provide just enough light to tend to the horses one last time before bed.
Venturing out, we had to travel 20 miles to get gas for the generator.   The local super market, DeMoulas Market Basket, is running on minimum generator power and selling canned & dry goods, wine, beer, and a lot of water.   Meat, fish, and frozen goods were pulled from the shelves soon after the power failure looked more than momentary.   But the town is happy they are open and serving the community as best they can.   The hardware store next door, Aubuchon's, is out of all major emergency provisions.   Big batteries.   Generators.   Portable lights.   But they are open, running on a borrowed generator.   And as usual, we ran into some neighbors there.   Talked about the weather.   Talked about the power failure.   And learned that Warner lost power into our sub-station.   They say we should have power back by.....   Next Thursday!!!
At home, every fenceline on our property is down with fallen trees.   But in comparison to what we saw while out and about, we faired well.   Electric wires are down in the roads.   Some homes have been damaged.   Some roads are closed.   And the local rivers are creeping over their banks and will get higher when the temperatures lift out of the teens and into the 30's and 40's in the next day or two.While temps are sub-freezing, we are keeping the former contents of our freezer outside and the contents of the fridge on the porch.   As it gets warmer, we will no doubt be eating the thawing meats with priority.
Finally, we have no mobile phone reception at all, but our land phone line is working, and therefore, we also have Internet access via laptops only.   However, that is at about 2 gallons per hour.
To those who sent us emails, thank you.

A Black Friday Must? New Board Game Teaches Credit Card Restraint
The bygone era of easy credit is now immortalized –- as a board game.
Charge Large, which hit shelves this fall, is a game born of the credit-card boom. The object of the game is to be the first player with a black credit card, zero debt and $2.5 billion in cash. "The game is a reaction to easy credit," Joe Davis, one of the game's inventors, said. "There was a mystique of it, a sexiness to credit."
Davis, 26, invented the game with high-school friend Adam Kornblum. The two Long Island, N.Y. residents say the idea came from seeing credit-card offers roll into their respective college campuses. Both skirted credit-card debt, unlike many of their peers, but were shocked by how easy it was to rack up a bill (something to keep in mind as Black Friday arrives). "We saw the power that plastic could have," Davis said. Perhaps it's no coincidence that Monopoly was born in 1904 with the similar goal of financial enlightenment.
Shortly after their respective graduations, the two began drawing up ideas for a game that would teach players how to use credit wisely and have fun. Although Davis was a business major at Briarcliffe College, neither of them had experience designing board games, except for playing the occasional game of Monopoly as kids.
In Charge Large, players travel around the board, purchasing buildings and businesses with a combination of cash and credit. Up for grabs are fictional properties such as "Strong Arm Fitness Center" and "Large Ventures" — all displayed in bright fonts against a dark background. As the game goes on, players are upgraded from gold cards to platinum, platinum to black, based on how many "swipes" they make with their card. Their credit-card limits go up, yet by the end, they still have to have zero debt. The names were concocted by the two and weave in some personal details, like Merrick Mansion, an homage to Mr. Davis's hamlet in Nassau County. Overall, the game evokes the nostalgia of big-budget bank advertising, shoulder pads and credit-card usage seemingly without consequence.
The two inventors hit some snags trying to get the game marketed.
Davis said they mailed copies of the game to different credit-card companies and famous billionaires. At one point, in 2007, Davis said he mailed Donald Trump a prototype and a case of Diet Coke in plastic bottles, which he heard was Trump's favorite beverage. He never heard back. A spokesperson for Trump said that neither she nor any of her colleagues she asked "remember this gentleman or his proposal."
They displayed Charge Large at Toy Fair last February and took a handful of pre-orders. In March, board-game juggernaut Hasbro Inc. heard about the game and the related viral campaign, Charlie Large. An agreement was signed with Hasbro in September to license the game. Although Charlie Large boasts a significant presence of Facebook, Twitter and Myspace, the campaign is kept as a separate entity from the Charge Large Hasbro game.
Charge Large is being played at schools, and has been well-received in sales and classrooms alike. But it's too early to tell how many units have moved, overall. It's available online through Hasbro.com, as well as at Wal-Mart stores. "Debt isn't going to stop," he said. "But we have to teach kids…The name of the game is 'Charge Large,' but I think the real name should be 'Charge Large responsibly.'"
