HP Envy 6-1001tx
Average of 1 scores (from 1 reviews)
Reviews for the HP Envy 6-1001tx
Source: Good Gear Guide
HP's Envy 6-1001tx is an Ultrabook that's large, but it just squeezes into Intel's requirements for thickness. It's a good model to consider if you want a thin and reasonably light notebook for gaming. You get a good configuration with lots of RAM, storage and graphics power, but it doesn't have an Ivy Bridge CPU. It's a notebook that's well built and it feels good to use. It just needs a better screen and Wi-Fi adapter.

Register Trademarks and Keep the Faith: Trademarks, Religion, and Identity
David A. Simon
Harvard Law School; University of Cambridge - Faculty of Law
February 8, 2011
IDEA: The Intellectual Property Law Review, Vol. 49, No. 2, p. 233, 2009
Religions frequently wage battles in court over the use of various religious trademarks. These battles, however, are not directed toward winning traditional trademark rights. At the heart of these disputes is a struggle to protect religious identity. This article argues that religions use trademark law to protect their identities because there are no other viable legal means available. Nevertheless, trademark law cannot wholly protect religious identity because of its focus on consumer perception. Because of the deficiency provided by current trademark law, this article proposes a new conceptual framework for resolving these disputes.

Armed with news of his admittance, Watkins said his commitment to the Cardinal is solid.
"It's 100 percent Stanford all the way," Watkins said.
Watkins committed to Stanford in September shortly after taking an unofficial visit to The Farm. His rapport with several current players played a key role in that choice.
"I remember going out on a visit in late July and going into it, I already knew some things about Stanford," Watkins said. "I knew they were the Orange Bowl champions last year with a lot of seniors coming back. I knew it was a great school academically, but one thing I really didn't know that much about it was the people there. I remember hanging out with some players there…I hung out with James Vaughters, Henry Anderson, Ronnie Harris, and all three of those guys come from the state of Georgia so they could kind of relate to what the whole transition process would be like. I felt like I really felt in with them. Coach Shaw went around with us pretty much the whole day, Coach Mason did as well, and on that visit I felt like I could really see myself fitting in here."
Although he hasn't visited The Farm since then, Watkins plans to take two trips to Stanford in the next few months – an official visit for the Notre Dame game, and an unofficial trip for Stanford's big recruiting weekend in January.
Meanwhile, he's kept close tabs on his future team.
"Without a doubt I think it's been a great year, especially with some of their injuries have been going on," Watkins said. "They lost Shayne Skov early in the year, Chris Owusu has been getting hurt a lot with concussions…I hope he's going to be going to be okay with those. They're probably not going to go to a Pac-12 Championship right away, but they're definitely still in the running for a BCS game, so I think that's a successful season."
Since he committed to the Cardinal over summer, Watkins has stayed in touch with his fellow class of 2012 Cardinal recruits.
"We have a group on Facebook and we've been talking for a while, seeing how everyone's season has been going, who's going to be visiting when," Watkins said. "We talk about some guys that are interested in Stanford, and they're saying there's this person in this area, this person in that area. We go from there and try to help the coaches recruit them."

Residents and local law enforcement teed off together at the Desert Princess Country Club.
More than 130 participants attended the event, including a dozen officers from Cathedral City and Palm Springs Police Departments.
Organizers were hoping to raise enough money to help officers install mobile surveillance cameras in the city's problematic areas.
Playing spots sold for $100 per person, which included play in a shotgun tournament, great prizes and dinner afterward at Leon's at Desert Princess.

Japan's Recovery Is Well Under Way
Last year, Japan's Economic Planning Agency incorrectly dated the end of the latest recession to June, 1993. So it was more cautious the second time, waiting until Nov. 17 to declare that Japan's second-longest recession in the postwar era ended back in October, 1993.
The latest data back up the declaration. The leading index stood at 54.5 in September, down from August's 100, but still high enough to signal growth. Manufacturing is improving, helped by some inventory rebuilding and increased exports. Factory output and machinery orders are growing (chart).
Exports and capital spending won't do it all in this upturn. In its monthly economic report on Nov. 22, the Bank of Japan cited the need for increased consumer outlays to keep the recovery on track.
So far, a tax cut in the form of a rebate has boosted shopping. In September, real household spending increased 2% from a year ago. Demand for beer, air conditioners, and clothing surged during this year's unusually hot summer, lifting third-quarter spending 0.5% above its year-ago level. Outlays should continue to rise into 1995, helped by winter bonuses and the second part of the tax rebate. Sluggish job growth, however, will keep consumers from any buying sprees.
Shoppers may be getting more bang for every yen spent, though. That's because the government doesn't include discount stores when tallying inflation. So consumer prices, which were up 0.2% nationally in the year ended in September, may really be falling.
The monthly data suggest that growth in Japan's third-quarter gross domestic product, which is to be released in mid-December, could be strong. Real GDP fell at a 1.6% annual rate in the second quarter.
The Japanese government is taking no chances, however. Tokyo recently increased the number of homebuyers who are eligible for mortgage subsidies to a record 1 million. That should keep homebuilding on solid ground and prevent the Japanese economy from floundering again.

Bankrupt RG Steel plans to spend at least $770,000 across 21 people identified in a proposed "key employee retention plan" if the federal bankruptcy court allows its implementation and use through year's end.
The period is being called a "wind-down phase." Attorneys for RG filed the motion late last week requesting approval of the plan and its activation.
The court-appointed reorganization officer helped design the proposal and is asking the court for its approval, according to the filing.
The requested funds would be paid to the individuals to allow them to purchase health care coverage previously paid for as a benefit of employment with RG Steel, which has been discontinued as a direct result of its bankruptcy reorganization.
The motion will come before the federal bankruptcy court at a hearing scheduled for Nov. 20.
United Steelworkers updated members via email describing the proposal as "inappropriate, unfair and outrageous."
"Specifically the company wants to pay a $2,000 monthly stipend for each individual to allow them to purchase health insurance, along with bonus payments of three months' salary if the individual stays through Dec. 31," said the USW communication of RG's motion.
The names of the selected individuals were not publicly released through general access to the filing, though it identified the "essential functions" these employees perform as sales, accounting, treasury, IT and other responsibilities.
"The USW fully intends to make the bankruptcy court aware of our objections to this cash grab. There will be a hearing in Delaware on Tuesday, Nov. 20, and our legal counsel will be present," union officials said in an email to their membership.
Absent adoption of the plan, RG's motion alleges that, "at best," those same employees would be "less motivated to undertake the substantial responsibilities they have been asked to undertake in connection with the wind-down process, and at worst, would leave the debtors' employment entirely," and "would hinder the debtor' ability to realize the full value of their remaining assets.''
In the 28-page motion was a reference to what debts had been satisfied to date through funds raised by asset sales, which included selling steel manufacturing and related resources from Warren's plant through the Ohio Valley and east to Sparrows Point, Md.
Proceeds from RG having sold its primary steel-making facilities and assets during the initial four months of the bankruptcy reorganization cases were used to "pay down their senior secured pre-petition and post-petition debt in full," according to the motion filing.
The court document also states the plan's adoption would be expected to have a positive impact on the "morale" of the 21 people and is designed to ensure that they remain committed.

The Radon Lounge is a little hole in the ground in Springfield, Illinois that hosts unique live basement performances, feeds and houses up-and-coming touring bands, and encourages the local scene. We host a wide variety of genres, but we are primarily an indie music venue. Think Daytrotter, AudioTree, and NPR's All Songs Considered. It seems if you're a fan of this kind of music, you have to travel far away from Springfield to see it. We decided it's possible to bring indie to Springfield.
We usually host one show a month, and also hold open mics to give more people a chance to perform. We support live local DIY music in Springfield such as what happens at the Black Sheep Cafe record store Dumb Records, and a new huge central Illinois music fest AudioFeed.
The Radon Lounge is owned and operated by Jeff and Cat with lots of help from an awesome community of volunteers. We are happy to say we are an all ages venue, and enjoy the fact our audiences are thoroughly diverse from teens to teen-havers. We always attempt to put on a show that pretty much anyone can enjoy.
Check out all of our past shows!

Home is where the heart is -- Erie
A recent vacation reminded me how good it feels to come home.
Maybe I'd feel differently if I'd ever left my hometown.
But I didn't. I've lived here all of my 47 years.
I grew up in Millcreek, off Lake Pleasant Road, surrounded by some of the best neighbors on the planet: Onoratos, Groenendaals, Grippes, Hanlins, Wetzels and Ciccozzis.
We swam at the old Olympic Pool on Henderson Road. We shot hoops in the driveway and played badminton in the side yard. We had enough kids to play softball in Wetzels' backyard at a moment's notice.
The fun didn't stop until Mom's airhorn blasts.
One blast meant Mark and I could play for 15 more minutes. Two blasts meant we needed to head home. Three blasts: You'd better be running.
Life was good.
My parents worked out a deal with me that if I went to a local college, they'd pay half of my tuition. The clincher: I'd live at home, work and pay the other half.
No loans.
In later years, Mom admitted that she'd been afraid I'd turn into a "party girl" and flunk out of college if I went to an out-of-town school. Truth be told, she was probably right. I had plenty of fun anyway. (Screeman Freemans, anyone?)
I graduated from Penn State Behrend after three and a half years and was lucky enough to find jobs here in Erie.
After college, I lived in a Millcreek apartment complex and a few years later bought my first house on West 25th Street. When Doug and I got married, we bought a house on West Gore Road, and we've since moved to Bonnie Brae in Harborcreek.

Rhoda Janzen has a gift for describing an ordinary life in ways that make it seem extraordinary. Humor is key as in this chapter opener, "How do you tell your PhD friends, far-flung across the world at their various academic postings, that you are attending church on purpose?" And it's not just any church that this feisty ex-Mennonite has joined, but a Pentecostal one.
In Does This Church Make Me Look Fat? Janzen has interwoven two other threads: how she met and married a man very different from herself, and how she dealt with a diagnosis of breast cancer.

Robin Williams' brilliant career spanned over 40 years. The Academy Award winner's ability to connect with audiences in a variety of different roles allowed him to become one of the most respected artists of his generation
Local resident Michael O'Brien was shocked to hear about Williams' sudden death. "From "Mork and Mindy" to Aladdin, he was so talented as an actor."
According to Williams' publicist, the actor had been battling severe depression in recent months. He had also made at least two trips to rehab in recent years, including one earlier this summer.
Clinical psychologist Dr. Lisa Firestone knows the risks of depression and substance abuse. She has over 20 years of experience in suicide prevention. "Just coming out of the hospital or a facility, it's a very high risk time for people."
Williams' death is still under investigation, but the coroner suspects the death was a suicide. "Addiction is a high-risk factor for suicides, especially alcohol. If you have someone in your life struggling, it's important to reach out for help," Firestone said.
Williams was a transcendent star whose bigger-than-life talent made him a favorite across the globe. Athena Koulourianou was visiting Santa Barbara from Greece. "He was a big star in Greece too. We loved him. He was such a funny guy. We will really miss him."
Michael O'Brien: "We really lost a great actor today. It's sad."

CBNNews.com - GAZA STRIP - After more than a week of air strikes against Hamas, Israel launched a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip this weekend.
The goal is to knock out Hamas as a viable threat against Israel. Historian and author Michael Oren joined CBN News to provide some analysis on the situation in Gaza. Click play to watch the interview following this CBN News report.
Israel's ground invasion split the Gaza Strip in two, as Israeli forces pursue their mission to stop Hamas rocket fire and dismantle the terror group's military leadership.
Some of the heaviest fighting took place in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip, where sounds of explosions, machine gun fire and helicopter gunships could be heard for miles.
Since Israel pulled out of the Gaza Strip in August 2005, Iranian-backed terrorists, led by Hamas, have fired more than 6,000 rockets on Israeli communities near Gaza.
And they've shown in the past week that the rocket range has expanded to put many more Israeli lives in danger.
Israel's military command called up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers to join the operation if needed.
While leaving family, jobs and friends isn't easy, reserve soldiers, who serve a yearly stint through age 40, understand it's their duty.
"I feel afraid a little bit, but what can we do," one reservist said. "This is the situation and we need to defend ourselves," he said.
On Sunday, friends and family mourned at the funeral of Staff Sgt. Dvir Emanueloff, 22, the first Israeli soldier killed in the Gaza ground operation.
According to international estimates, more than 500 Palestinians have died in eight days of air and ground strikes. Most of them are from Hamas's military wing.
Israeli leaders know their window for ground action may be limited. As international protests against Israel grow, the leaders of Britain and France have called for an immediate cease-fire, and the United Nations Security Council will take up the issue again on Tuesday.
But the last thing Israel needs is an operation that fails to stop Hamas from threatening Israel again.
"We were faced with a Hamas regime that tore up the cease-fire, that initiated rocket barrage after rocket barrage against our civilian population in the south, and we are forced to act to defend our people," Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said.
Meanwhile, The Jerusalem Post reports that Hamas gunmen have shot 75 rival Fatah members in the legs, allegedly to prevent Fatah from challenging Hamas control in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas has also executed at least 35 Palestinians as "collaborators" with Israel.

Fallen Erie soldier honored with U.S. Army building dedication
A building at the U.S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland was dedicated Thursday morning in memory of an Erie soldier killed in Iraq nearly a decade ago.
The ceremony honored Army Staff Sgt. Jeremy R. Horton, who was 24 when he was killed near Iskandariyah, Iraq, on May 21, 2004, by an explosion of a roadside bomb during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Another building was dedicated during the ceremony to Sgt. 1st Class Alwyn C. Cashe, of Oviedo, Fla.
About 75 people, including family members of the two fallen soldiers, attended Thursday's two-hour ceremony at the Army's Aberdeen Test Center Trench Warfare Complex, according to Andricka Thomas, a public affairs officer with the U.S. Army's Test and Evaluation Command.
The building dedicated to Horton was named the SSG. Jeremy R. Horton Memorial Building. Thomas said the building will be used as a base of operations at the complex for testing and evaluating Bradley Fighting Vehicles.
Horton was a crew member on a Bradley.
After serving in the Army with the 82nd Airborne for four years, Horton re-enlisted in the armored division.
Horton was assigned to Company B, 2nd Battalion, 6th Infantry Regiment, 1st Armored Division, based in Baumholder, Germany.
Horton was awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.
The program manager for the Army's Armored Brigade Combat Team in Warren, Mich., funded construction of the two buildings, Thomas said. The program manager requested the buildings be named in honor of fallen Bradley crewmen, Thomas said.
More than 20,500 civilian, military and contractor employees work at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in military intelligence, medical research, engineering and computer technology.
Aberdeen Proving Ground, founded in 1917, is in Maryland's Upper Chesapeake Bay on more than 72,000 acres.

The first edition of this work appeared in 1936. In his preface the author emphasizes the necessity for individualization of patients, particularly in the control of infectious diseases, indicating that every patient is an experimental problem to the scientific physician. The feature of the Meakins work is the extensive illustration. Whereas some may criticize, the medical student will find this feature most commendable. It may be said of the illustrations that they have been most carefully chosen and all of them actually illustrate.
In the preparation of the new edition there have been extensive revisions of many of the sections in which new information has been developed. The opening chapters are for the average student a fine philosophic approach to the practice of medicine. This volume, which is in outline form, is ideal for the medical student.
The section on vitamins unfortunately is altogether inadequate. Thus it is stated that

Time took a dramatic toll on both of Paula Kiessling's knees. After living for years with bone-on-bone discomfort, it became too much to bear.
"The pain kept me up for years at night. Even rolling over, I was gone. From the second I woke up," says Paula Kiessling, who underwent knee replacement.
After putting it off for years Kiessling recently underwent two joint replacement surgeries.
"You realize you don't have the pain you had before, it's like somebody waved a magic wand over you," says Kiessling.
Dr. Ed Humbert, orthopedic surgeon on Lee Memorial Health System's medical staff, was her surgeon.
"Knee replacement has its benefits. Eliminate pain, eliminate stiffness, gets you back to things you like to do," says Dr. Humbert.
Now data from the CDC reveals additional benefits - financial ones. Factoring in the cost of missed work and the expense of pain medications and treatment, getting a timely knee replacement may result in a lifetime savings of $10,000 to $30,000 per patient.
"You'll see patients that used to retire at 60 and 65, there's people working now until they're 70 and 75 and they're needing to have these joints replaced to stay in the work force," says Dr. Humbert.
Conservative measures are still the first course of action.
"We still try medications, we still try injections, we still try physical therapy, we try weight loss; we try everything we possibly can prior to surgery. And if surgery is your very last option, surgery is good to eliminate that problem,' says Dr. Humbert.
"Anybody that's worried about it or thinking they shouldn't have it done - they really should. It's very worthwhile. I'm not limited anymore," says Kiessling.
The biggest savings, the one that counts, is restored quality of life.

PITTSBURGH - Aunt Veronica has made the Chex Mix. The refrigerator is stocked with Olde Frothingslosh. The nut rolls are sliced, and there's homemade horseradish for the kielbasa.
Let's get this party started, and that means music.
Gather 'round and sing the holiday songs, loudly and proudly.
The Pirates fired manager John Russell after three quiet seasons. Now the Baltimore Orioles' third base coach.
(To the tune of "Silent Night")
Silent John,
Stone-faced John.
Never moved.
Now he's gone.
Never yelled,
Or kicked dirt on an ump.
Just sat there,
Was a black and gold lump.
Now he's in Baltimore.
The Pirates showed him the door.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger got a four-game suspension from the NFL for his behavior in a Georgia college town in March.
(To the tune of "O Little Town of Bethlehem")
O Little Town of Milledgeville,
Your bars, they are so cheap.
Our quarterback was cruising them,
Behaving like a creep (Allegedly).
He wore his devil t-shirt,
His posse with him, too.
He bought some shots
For college girls.
We know that much is true.
Then someone heard a ruckus
And wondered what went down.
The TV trucks, they all set up,
In your little town.
O Little town of Milledgeville,
You're out there in the sticks.
But thanks to you,
Ben now stays home.
He signed up for Netflix.
The Civic Arena hosted its last events and sits idle, replaced by the Consol Energy Center.
(To the tune of "My Favorite Things")
Shiny and silver,
They called it The Igloo.
Now it's just run down,
All moldy and mildewed.
Leaky roof now
Where Lemieux was the king,
This is a Pittsburgh
Obsolete thing.
Forbes Field was knocked down,
Three Rivers went "Boom."
Dusted Pitt Stadium,
Needed the room.
Time flies right by
And so now you can sing,
We have another
Obsolete thing.
Had the circus.
And the Beatles.
Lots of tickets bought.
But now it's a waste and we want to turn it
Into a parking lot.

Multiple Oscar nominee Stephen Frears is a tough nut to crack. Amiable but terse, his excellent multilayered films do the talking for him, from his first collaboration with Christopher Hampton and Michelle Pfeiffer on 1998's Dangerous Liaisons to 2007's The Queen. In his latest film, Cheri (read Cinematical's review here), Frears turns his lens onto the cloistered and often duplicitous world of wealthy courtesans. Frears' films often focus on subversive outsiders who must make their own "family," as it were, such as Dirty Pretty Things,The Grifters, and My Beautiful Laundrette.But Cheri's delicious spin on sex, love, and aging is typical of its source material from author Colette, whose books Cheri and The Last of Cheri present a world of upside-down relationships and self-sufficient, frankly sexual women.
Michelle Pfeiffer leads the cast as the stunning Lea de Lonval, a famous courtesan whose friend Madame Peloux, played with busty abandon by Kathy Bates, encourages Lea to have an affair with Peloux's louche son Cheri, the pale and effeminate Rupert Friend. Neglected as a child while his mother was dealing with her affairs, Cheri is hardly likeable or loveable, but somehow their affair becomes less about sex and more about the love both he and Lea have lacked in their lives. Peloux throws a wrench into the whole thing when she plans a wedding for Cheri to another courtesan's child, Edmee, played by newcomer Felicity Jones. What happens after that surprises them all.
Cheri opens June 26th in limited cities. Visit the official website for more information.
Cinematical: What's the difference between releasing a movie like Cheri during Oscar season as opposed to the summer blockbuster season? Is it more or less stressful?
Stephen Frears: The problem with competing for the Oscars is it's very tough, so in a way it's quite a relief being [released] at another time of the year. You're all right if you've got the one that gets everybody's attention, but fighting for attention is quite difficult. I've released films in that season that have been just overlooked. span style="font-weight: bold;">Cinematical: I read that Christopher Hampton thought at first that you might not be interested in the script.
Frears: I was. It was a brilliant strategy. I just thought the script was very funny and very sad, and a good story. And I like those sort of films where people don't reveal their feelings.
Cinematical: How did you go about choosing the cast? Did you know immediately that you wanted Michelle Pfeiffer?
Frears: No, but as soon as her name came up, you could see what a good idea it was.
Cinematical: Is it hard to approach an actress and say, "You're of a certain age, and we're casting this person to be of a certain age....?"
Frears: No, I know her better than that. I just rang her up and said, "Look, this is a good script." I wasn't embarrassed... In the end, actors want a good part.
Cinematical: There are a lot of maternal overtones as well as sexual in the relationship between Lea and Cheri. Do you think that's because the setting itself or is inherent to most relationships with great age differences?
Frears: Well, it wouldn't surprise me if it appeared in all relationships like that, somewhere, but of course he's not really had a mother before. He'd been neglected as a child, so it was not surprising that Michelle appeared to fill the gap.
Cinematical: Critics often mention that your films feature very strong women, like The Queen. Do you ever get tired of people asking you about that?
Frears: Well, I've never met a weak woman, so I'm not surprised. I mean, even I have noticed there are a lot of strong women in my films and that the actresses I work with tend to be bruisers.
Cinematical: Was there a lot of collaboration on set between you and Christopher Hampton as well?
Frears: Yes, I like the writer to be on set. All you're doing is making a film. You're not engaged in some sort of struggle with them. Anyway, I come from a writer's theater, and I've always grown up around writers, and thought they were generally smart.
Cinematical: Do people mostly approach you with scripts?
Frears: If I try to initiate anything, it's always a disaster. I'm at my most active by being most passive.
Cinematical: You've never approached a writer and said, "This is the idea I have. Put it on paper!"
Frears: Well, I sometimes I suggest things, but they treat the ideas with such contempt that I realize the ideas are dreadful.
Cinematical: What do you think is the difference between directing and writing? Directing is a type of visual language.
Frears: They can do it with blank bits of paper. I need all this equipment, and I need a lot of things to make it all come to life. But I guess that's the bit I can do.
Cinematical: What do you think about the fetishization of cougars in today's society, as opposed to in Colette's time?
Frears: I don't know a lot about that. I hear about this expression, but it hasn't reached England yet.
Cinematical: The soundtrack was really moving. Can you talk about your collaboration with that?
Frears: I knew that the soundtrack was where you express the interior feelings. It's a story about people that don't show their feelings, so on the surface it had to be all frivolous and frothy and underneath it, of course, there was a love story working itself up. And I knew that that would mainly come from the soundtrack.
Cinematical: It seems like it would be especially difficult to draw out a character like Cheri, who's very blank and he's not particularly likeable.
Frears: Yes, and then he turns out to be full of feelings.
Cinematical: How did you manage to draw him out?
Frears: Well, the truth is that's how Colette wrote. She described a boy like that... You would say of Prince Charles or the Queen that they are the most privileged people in the country , and in some ways the least privileged. The things that you and I take for granted, like maternal love and warmth and all those things, these rich people have gone without. But of course you and I know that they're absolutely vital to people, and that people who don't have them, miss them.
Cinematical: And much like the King and Queen, the only people that the courtesans can associate with are other courtesans.
Frears: That's right. It's a terrible life. Whereas we can have happy relationships with our wives, our children, you know, just lead ordinary family lives. Tragic figures... So will Paris Hilton find happiness?
Cinematical: Probably not. I mean, I don't wish it on her.
Frears: Well, you wouldn't wish it on anybody, wouldn't you? But it's probably harder for her to find it than most people.
Cinematical: Do you see that in Hollywood as well?
Frears: Yes, of course.... Mind you, if they were also happy, life would be really unfair, wouldn't it? [laughs]

RTA: Voters asked to approve 'Sound Move'
by Jeff Switzer
The second attempt to fund regional transportation improvements will go before voters Nov. 5. The RTA proposal seeks an increase in local sales and motor vehicle excise taxes to raise $3.9 billion for more HOV express lanes, regional express buses, commuter rail, and electric light-rail to solve congestion and improve traffic flow.
The Regional Transit Authority Board adopted "Sound Move"--the Ten-Year Regional Transit System Plan for Pierce, Snohomish, and King Counties--at the end of May. Voters had rejected last year's $6.7 billion proposal, criticized for its Seattle-centric approach and commuter- and light-rail emphasis.
The new plan places heavy emphasis on the use of I-5 and I-405 for regional buses, branching off to Redmond, Overlake, West Seattle, and use of Bothell-Everett Highway through Mill Creek.
The Commuter Rail element would use existing tracks between Everett, Seattle, Tacoma and Lakewood, running along Puget Sound until Boeing, then through Kent, Auburn, and Sumner to Tacoma. Scaled back from last year's rail proposal, the 81-mile commuter rail will offer rush-hour train service on existing tracks between Everett, Seattle, Tacoma and Lakewood.
The light-rail system comprises 25-miles of starter rail with 26 stations within "walking distance of major destinations, as well as connections to local and regional bus service." The electric light-rail will take advantage of the downtown Seattle bus tunnels, which were designed to accommodate rail.
The RTA plan assumes no state funds or increases in property taxes, instead using local revenues, municipal bonds, federal grants, and the farebox. Local revenues include a local sales tax increase not to exceed .04 percent and an increase of .03 percent in the motor vehicle excise tax (license tabs).
Just over half (50.6 percent) of the revenues are anticipated to come from those sources, producing $1.98 billion; 27 percent will come from bonds ($1.05 billion); 18.6 percent from federal grants ($727 million); and four percent from fares and other sources ($155 million).
According to the RTA's financial policies for the plan, local taxes will be invested to benefit the sub-area where they are raised. There will be limited borrowing, and the RTA will hire independent auditors and appoint a citizen oversight committee to make sure the agency is held accountable. Also, voter approval is required for any capital investments beyond the 10-year plan.
"If voters decide not to extend the system, the RTA will roll back the tax rate to a level sufficient to pay off the bonds (27 percent, or $1.052 billion) and operate and maintain Sound Move investments," the plan says.
Those "investments" include operation and maintenance of the plan if approved, as well as bonding to pay for the long-term capital investments.

GCF Board Adopts Business Model Framework
15 March 2013: The Green Climate Fund (GCF) Board concluded its third meeting with the adoption of a series of decisions on, among other things, the Board's rules of procedure, the GCF's business model framework and resource mobilization, and establishment of its independent secretariat.
The meeting, which took place from 13-15 March 2013, in Berlin, Germany, also adopted decisions on modalities for readiness and preparatory support, arrangements between the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC and the GCF, and the GCF logo. Regarding the GCF logo, the Board decided to launch a competition inviting art and design schools, universities and the general public to submit proposals for a GCF logo depicting its ideals and character.
On the GCF's business model framework, the Board noted some areas of convergence on the framework, including that the Fund will be: ambitious, flexible and scalable; employ direct access and other access modalities; and leverage additional public and private resources through the Fund's operational modalities, including through the private sector facility.
Other areas of convergence highlighted by the Board relate to the operational modalities and focus of the Fund. The Board requested the business model framework team and the Interim Secretariat to continue work on the framework based on, inter alia, the areas set out in Annexes XIV and XV to the meeting report.

Benchmark Reviews Presents:
TITLE: CM Storm Pulse-R Aluminum Gaming Headset Review
QUOTE: I've never been a big fan of headsets. Instead, I've always tried to use a speaker system whenever possible. After my fourth kid was born a few months ago, however, my home office was converted into a nursery. That meant that my trusty 5.1 surround speaker system that had traveled to Iraq and back with me, was now a set of paperweights. Since then, I've become somewhat of an audiophile, seeking the most comfortable headset that produces the highest quality sound for the best price. Recently, Benchmark Reviews received the CM Storm Pulse-R Aluminum Gaming Headset SGH-4330-KATA1 for testing. In this article, I will outline my experience with the CM Storm Pulse-R and show you where it fits in the gaming headset niche.

As a public health issue, coronary heart disease is second to none. For one, it is the leading killer of both men and women in the U.S. This year, it is projected that close to 1 million Americans will suffer heart attacks. Of these, about two-thirds are first-time heart attack patients, while about one-third of them have already had at least one.
Coronary disease is expensive to treat because of its pervasiveness – which impacts us all indirectly. Heart disease alone accounts for about 10 percent of annual healthcare expenditures in the U.S., at almost $110 billion.
But heart disease is largely preventable. The major risk factors for coronary disease are hypertension (high blood pressure), elevated cholesterol, cigarette smoking, diabetes (elevated blood sugar), and family history of coronary disease. About half of all Americans have at least one risk factor. The only one that you can't control is your family history. The rest are up to you and your doctor.
Recognize your risk
A family history and some simple blood tests will help you and your doctor evaluate your risk. Simply put, the more chances of having heart disease factors you have, the higher your risk.
If your blood pressure is elevated, if your cholesterol is high and if your fasting blood sugar and/or Hemoglobin A1C are elevated, you can do a lot to correct these without medications just by changing your diet and lifestyle.
Know your numbers
Optimal blood pressure is lower than 130/80. Total cholesterol should be under 200. HDL (good cholesterol) should be greater than 40 in men and 50 in women. LDL (bad cholesterol) should be under 100 in both.
Your fasting blood sugar should be under 100, and Hemoglobin A1C lower than 6.5 if you have never been diagnosed as having diabetes. Depending on your risk factors, some additional non-invasive testing may be necessary and will be recommended by your doctor.
Diet and exercise are critical
If you are overweight, you will need to decrease your total daily calories by reducing your carbohydrate (sugars and starches) and animal fats intake. Healthy substitutions are the key. Build a healthy eating plan around whole grains, fresh vegetables and fruits, fish and poultry. Use olive oil, avocados and nuts as healthy sources of fats in your diet. Eat organic whenever possible. Avoid processed foods.
Regular aerobic exercise can be as simple as walking 30 to 40 minutes per day. Weight training increases bone density and muscle mass. This helps decrease your percentage of body fat and makes you less vulnerable to osteoporosis and diabetes. It can even naturally raise testosterone levels.
Remember, the heart is like any other muscle. It remains strong with exercise.
If diet and exercise are not enough to make necessary changes in your risk factors, your doctor may prescribe some very effective drugs to improve blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol. If you are a smoker, there are many modalities available that can finally help you quit.
Heart attacks are not an inevitable part of aging. Make healthy choices now to avoid becoming a statistic.

Today's question concerned the PGA Championship and whom you may be rooting for.
ASSUMING HE'S IN IT, I'm rooting for Tiger Woods. Woods shot a 69 and is 3 strokes off the pace after the first round.
EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT TIGER WOODS getting back to playing at a certain level. But the real point is that Tiger no longer feels himself invincible after his recent problems off the course, and that can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
BILL O'BRIEN DOESN'T seem to understand that this year is not Penn States problem. The fans will still show, and the team will probably finish above .500. Its next year when the real blight is going to set in — loss of scholarships, more players going away,. and the team not competitive against anybody but the Indianas of the Big Ten. It will be a long, long time before Penn State is back.
I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLIMENT Christian Kuntz of Trinity and Jordan Hill of Steel-High, local players who were and are members of the Penn State football team. They are what I call true Penn Staters, and I wish them a lot of luck.
ITS OBVIOUS THE MOTTO of Rodney Erickson and Bill O'Brien is out with the old, and in with the new. Hope that includes new money, because the old money is walking.
YOU PUT NAMES on the back of those jerseys, you take my name off the donors list.
TO THE CALLER WHO SAID they would not buy a Penn State jersey with a name on the back: the NCAA forbids the sale of school jerseys with players names on them to the general public. What will be available to you will be just the same as what is available now.
USAIN BOLT may be the worlds fastest man at 100 yards, but hes still a hot dog — we don't need to see all his dances.
AT MOST EVENTS at the Olympics, the stands look half-empty. London must be taking a real financial beating.
HOPEFULLY EAGLES FANS were able to watch the game last night on Fox 43, with Philadelphia announcers, so they didn't have to suffer with the Pittsburgh announcers on WHP 21 — which is the only station that carried the game, according to yesterdays Patriot-News. Last-minute schedule additions are a fact of life in preseason NFL football. Well do better, and we hope your team won.
DOES BRYCE HARPER EVER get a hit? As of last nights writing Harper had 88 hits in 350 at-bats for a .251 batting average.

OverviewMaravigliosa + Classic Route Exit
A fine combination of two routes, climbing the South-east face of Tafunata di Paliri. "Maravigliosa" is a pearl with pure "bavellian" orange granite. The second pitch is sustained on 6b/c; the second and the third pitch are well equipped, while some friends are necessary to climb the fourth pitch. After climbing "Maravigliosa", it is very satisfactory to reach the summit following the Classic Route upper six pitches (not very equipped).
Getting There
The magnificent island of Corsica, l'Ile de Beauté (the Island of Beauty) belonging to France but much closer to Italy, can be easily approached by plane (airports both in Bastia on the Eastern coast and Ajaccio on the Western coast)and by ferry-boat from Livorno and Savona italian ports. The most convenient destination in Corsica to visit the Bavella area, one of the wildest region of the island, is the airport of Bastia if you're getting there by plane; the same Bastia port if you're getting there by ferry-boat.
The starting point to get Tafunata di Paliri is situated near the Gite d'Etape "du Col de Bavella".
From Auberge – Gite d'Etape "du Col de Bavella", situated 500 mt. from Bavella Pass along NE side of D268 (Solenzara side), follow the forestal road starting behind the hut and leading to GR20 trail (red and white marks); the trail goes down reaching another forestal road crossing a stream. Follow it for a short distance (about 150 mt.), then turn to right following again GR20. The trail rises across a "pino laricio" forest and reachs Finosa Pass mt. 1195; from here the trail goes down to the beautiful Paliri Hut m. 1055 (water, guarded in summer). From the hut follow the trail to Normal Route (Via Ferrata) leading to South-East Face (10 minutes from the hut, 2 hours from the "Gite d'Etape"). When arriving below the obvious orange slab, leave the trail to Via Ferrata and turn to right to reach the slab.
Route Description
MARAVIGLIOSA + CLASSIC ROUTE EXIT REPORT (French scale)
Summit altitude: 1312 mt.
TD+, F6c, F6a obbl.
Length: 250 mt.
Exposure: SE
"Maravigliosa "First ascent: Jean Paul Quilici – Francis Thibaudeau 1988
Approach starting: Gite d'Etape "du Col de Bavella
Huts: Gite d'Etape "du Col de Bavella", Gite d'Etape "Les Aiguilles de Bavella"
1 – Starting point below a crack and an ilex. A 5c pitch a bit engaged (it's possible the pitch now is equipped) leads to a stance below the steep slab.
2 - Climb the hard thin crack crossing the orange and superb slab and leading to a small roof; climb the roof along its left edge. After the roof head towards right to a vague hollow - now climbing is a bit easier (6a, 6a+) – then traverse two meters towards right to get to the belay. 6b, 6c, then 6a.
3 – From the belay traverse 4 mt. towards left, then climb a crack. After climbing an overhang, head to right reaching a ledge below a chimney-crack. Another fine pitch, 5c.
4 – Easy rocks lead to the chimney crack. Climb it, 5c, not equipped.
5 – A short abseil – or a short descent on 3a - leads to a rocky saddle where Classic Route and Normal Route pass.
6 – From the rocky saddle - situated below Classic Route's characteristic "Nose" - climb the wall straightly over the stance. 4a
7 – 8 Other two pitches - 3a and 4b – with a chimney lead below the "Nose".
9 – Climb the impressively "tafonated" nose – this is a neologism, because I cant' find a way to translate from the Corsican dialect into the English the words "tafoni", "tafonato" – reaching the summital ridge. 5a.
10-11 Last two pitches along the culminant ridge – by easy climb (some moves on 3 and 4) and walk – lead to the secondary summit and to the top. A surprising view over Tyrrenian Sea!!!
DescentFrom the main summit the "Via Ferrata" starts, leading to the characteristic "eye", a big hole across the face. Nearby the "eye", the Normal Route' ledge runs across the face from right to left, leading to the starting point.

Verizon's Android market share is slipping
41 Comments
1. FAW-Q (Posts: 63; Member since: 29 Jul 2011)
It's because Verizon switched it's advertisements from "If there is no limit to what Droid gets, there is no limit to what Droid Does" to "If you don't have an iPhone, You don't have and iPhone."
4. FAW-Q (Posts: 63; Member since: 29 Jul 2011)
Wow! Thumbs down? I thought I was fairly neutral with the previous comment.
10. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
It was to me. And lets see what happens when the Droid marketing blitz comes on. It might change things a lil.
Although the iPhone 5 is coming soon....
16. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Well if you call lying neutral then yes you're neutral. The iPhone commercials are from Apple not Verizon
20. Mac10 (unregistered)
It's easy to confuse the commercials as coming from Verizon when the commercials are followed by "Now Available on Verizon."
21. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Yes but he's insinuating that VZW has somehow been biased towards the iPhone which isn't true.
22. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
*calculating the most airtight statement with the least amount of time wasted*
*calculation complete*
When you walk into a Verizon store, from the outside 3 or 4 of the maybe 5 posters you can see are for iProducts. Inside, iProducts make up the majority and biggest posters.
Verizon is not the only place that does this; it's Apple's rule that it gives to its business partners: if you want to sell our products, they come in first, second, third and fourth place in terms of visibility. The header of Verizon's website says "iPhone, smartphone,..." in product categories, iPhone and iPad get their own spot apart from other smartphones and tablets. They are also listed first in the general lists of phones and tablets.
These are all things you can easily observe for yourself. Try me.
Oh, and it's wrong of that other guy to be impersonating you. I just wanted to go on the record as having said that.
23. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Again not Verizon being biased and this has nothing to do with the post I responded to. If Apple has the leverage to do this why wouldn't they? Every company wants to put their products in the best position possible to sell.
Verizon however is not putting android phones in some unfair position to sell. Right now there's a bogo on droid 3 and droid x 2.
I haven't seen anyone impersonating me and could really care less.
26. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
You're right; if Apple can get away with strong arming people into its marketing strategy, then other companies should too.
You have to admit, Verizon has not been lackadaisical about promoting the iPhone. They're still fairly strong in their android marketing, but they're pushing the iPhone more.
32. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Of course Verizon has marketed the iPhone. But it's not like there's some Apple bias within VZW. True that the iPhone is front and center on their webpage and in stores. Apple has that kind of leverage because of the brand they have built. They're not forcing anyone to do business with them. VZW agreed as do carriers all around the world because they know Apple sells which makes them money as well.
29. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Android fans are bitter at anything with Apple in the discussion. Course, Verizon is shifting to a phone that's far superior to Android in every way. Why waste advertising money on a half baked OS?
40. Cinnamon (Posts: 87; Member since: 16 Jun 2011)
Why don't you bend down and let steve jobs insert his weiner.

43. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Do you enjoy talking about phallic things?
44. dandirk (Posts: 187; Member since: 04 Aug 2011)
Again please see the blind photo comparison.
2. readingthissh1t (Posts: 303; Member since: 20 Jul 2011)
i blame the bionic delays but lets let apple fans have their win
3. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1236; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
Yeah there really hasn't been a new android phone on Verizon recently that was anything that amazing. Not since the Thunderbolt came out which turned out to be a let down.
6. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
That is very true. Although the Bionic has potential and a GS2 will help.
8. fairly_mismatched (unregistered)
Not really about an Apple win at all, more like an Android win on other carriers. It's not Android's market share on Verizon, it's Verizon's Android market share against others.
30. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
Lol, Apple has been winning since day one.
5. WirelessCon (Posts: 309; Member since: 11 May 2010)
In 2 years (24 months) Verizon won't even sell Android phones.
According to that data.
11. ShanikuaKnowws (Posts: 12; Member since: 28 Jul 2011)
Then what will they sell? Just iPhones and windows phone 7? I doubt it.
27. zuno gyakusatsu (Posts: 257; Member since: 16 Mar 2010)
7. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Let us not react to one report to quickly. This graph could mean that these other carriers have increased their sales, not that Verizon has dropped in Android sales that much. It is a percentage graph. Would like to see sales numbers.
33. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
I can give you some. In Q2 VZW sold 2.3 million iPhones. They sold 1.2 million TOTAL LTE devices (smartphones and mobile broadband cards)
Suck on that.
41. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Which probably means they sold a ton of Androids. They only had a few LTE devices in Q2, and all the rest were 3G. Relax Taco. Nothing in this report says the iPhone. It is a graph comparing Android sales on different carriers.
9. dandirk (Posts: 187; Member since: 04 Aug 2011)
I agree with pa...
Verizon got the iPhone... so android probably did drop, that's compition...
The interesting part is at&t... even though they had the iPhone android sales went up. That tells me that there are a noticeable amount of people that prefer android. Again a good sign of compition.
This tells me no matter what the fanboys say both OS's are viable ad have their place in the market.
24. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Excellent points, especially with AT&T.
12. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
its market share isnt slipping because of lack of sales or anything of the sort. More competitors take more of the pie. last year, ATT had no real android line up.. now its starting to buff it up. A 90+million subscriber company finally putting an effort behind android is going to take a chunk of the pie.
The chart is misleading in the fact that it makes u think that androids arent selling like they used to on VZW. Heck, the article's title makes u think that. This chart shows nothing of the sort. Only a breakdown of smartphone sales will show that. VZW's actual sales could have gone up, down, or stayed the same..
17. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Let me help you fandroids out. This is common sense. Previously Verizon didn't sell an iPhone. Now Verizon does sell it. Of course some customers will choose iPhone instead of android.
I wouldn't call this a win for Apple it's inevitable that when customers have more options the market share will be more spread out.
Remix you don't have to try to twist the facts. Android has lost market share on VZW because customers now have an iPhone option.
Apple has lost market share to android but they're selling more iPhones than ever. I don't see you calling that misleading.
25. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
You just don't get it do you. The Android phones that VZW sold are still out there and active. It's not that 10% of the Android users went and bought an iPhone. The other carriers just saw the success that VZW was having with Android and they wanted a piece of the pie. The other carriers got their own Androids and are adding to Androids total market share.
At one point, ATT had 100% market share of the iOS in the US, now its around 75-80%. Does that mean ATT lost 20% of it's customers to VZW? No. I'm sure they have lost some, but all it means is that there are other places to buy an iPhone or iPad, and that new supplier has to account for some percentage of the total amount sold.
If anything, there are more Androids sell now, than ever.
28. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
That's not what I said. I didn't say 10% of android users switched to iPhones. What I did say is customers on VZW now have a choice so it's basic math that androids market share on VZW will go down.
Are you saying not a single android customer has switched to an iPhone? Of course not. Customers are switching from android and blackberry and features to iPhones because there's now one more choice.
Did you even read my post? Did you read the part where I said iPhone is selling better than ever but has lost market share.
You fandroids are getting all defensive about this post when a person who is able to think logically can see this isn't a loss for android or win for Apple. It's just math.
One thing I can tell you though. With the release of iPhone 5 androids market share on VZW will take a dramatic hit.
34. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
You are making this all about Apple yet again! Sure there are people who went from Android to iOS, but that's not what the article was about. You, being who you are just made it about iOS. You started with "fandroids", then went on to say "Of course some customers will choose iPhone instead of android." implying that the iPhone is the reason for the decline.
Your a fanboy, your post was written from that perspective and I called you on it. That's all. Then I gave you an objective opinion as to why VZW share of Android appears to be slipping.

i didnt twist anything u stupid iBot. I left an unbiased opinion. That chart has NOTHING to do with iphone. your just a stupid moron that cant get off your one horse cart and think of anything other than your stupid ibot place.
the chart says nothing of an iphone, it is a PURE GOOGLE MARKET SHARE CHART. Are you really that blind? can you really not read? sometimes your stupidity is really just too much to bear..
the only change in that chart was that ATT started to sell more android phones than before and some local carriers are making headway with android.
there is NOTHING about ur stupid iphone in the article anywhere.
EVERY month android sales go UP. NO ONE is losing sales to the iphone. get over it.

This is simply because Verizon started the big push in the Android market with the Moto Droid. Now other carriers offer a bigger variety of Android phones so it is appealing to a broader market on other carriers. It's a numbers magic trick.

Do you even know what backpedaling means? What would any Android fans need to back peddle from, the GROWTH of Android???
