Our forecast for a near-term bounce in mining equities has played out extremely well, with the FTSE 350 Mining Index breaking resistance at the 20,000 level. Whilst we expect the rally to extend over the coming months, buoyed by the aversion of US ' fiscal cliff ' and a rebound in China ' s economy, we remain medium-term bears and expect the bounce to eventually fade beyond H113. S timulus measures will fail to sustainably reverse the economic slowdown in China and import demand from the world ' s largest consumer of industrial metals will disappoint over the medium term.
|Major Gains Are Over
|UK - FTSE 350 Mining Index (Weekly Chart)
A large number of miners posted stellar gains this week followin g the US Congress deal to stop a recession-threatening ' fiscal cliff ' of tax increases and spending cuts. M iners such as Vale and Rio Tinto continued to benefit from the su rge in iron ore prices of late, amid signs of rebounding Chinese growth and anticipation for further infrastructure stimulus measures. However, we believe the boost in prices will be short-lived and demand from Chinese ste el mills will eventually weaken. Indeed, the rebalancing of the Chinese economy away from fixed asset investment will significantly crimp demand for commodities and cast a dark cloud over the future prospects of the mining industry.

Asia: Key Developments
Indonesia: Tin Exports To Further Move Up The Value Chain - In a bid to further raise the value of exports , the Trade Ministry of Indonesia is planning to increase the minimum purity requirements for tin ingot exports with effect from July 2013. Under the new rule, tin smelters operating in the world's largest tin export er are mandated to ship only tin ingots and refined products with 99.9% purity level, up from 99.85% at present. While the revision to tin export purity level would inevitably lead to higher refining and smelting costs for companies, we do not expect such a move to have a substantial impact on domestic production. Indeed , Indonesia's top two producers, state-owned PT Timah and unlisted PT Koba Tin , are already exporting tin that meets the requirement.

Australia: Fortescue ' s Kings Project Back In The Game - Australia's largest pure iron producer Fortescue Metals Group has recently announced its decision to resume expansion of the Kings deposit at the Solomon mine hub following the surge in iron ore prices of late. The expansion is expected to raise iron ore output by 40mntpa (million tonnes per annum), for a total production target of 155mntpa by December 2013. T he Kings project, which was put on hold in September amid a cash crunch, was buoyed by the strong bounce in iron ore prices of recent weeks. The company has also been offloading assets to shore up its balance sheet and is currently in talks for the sale of a minority stake in its Pilbara infrastructure business that could fetch as much as US$5bn. In view of the pipeline of projects scheduled to come online in the years ahead, we forecast Australia's iron ore production to reach 634mnt by 2017, growing at an annual average rate of 4.4% from 2011 levels. Nevertheless, this will mark a sharp slowdown from the previous decade during which growth averaged 10.3% per annum.

Philippines: Mining Law On Hold, Investment Targets Slashed - A recent assessment by the Philippines' Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) has seen mining investment targets for the next four years slashed by 218% to US$3.1bn due to deferred developments in a number of key projects. The new mining policy, laid out in an Executive Order by President Aquino, prohibits the issuance of mining applications until a new law rationalising the revenue-sharing scheme between the government and mining firms is implemented. We believe the mining sector will experience a continued slump in investment until at least mid-2013, when we expect Aquino's Liberal Party and its coalition partners to retain broad control of congress. To highlight, Xstrata ' s plan to develop the US$5.9bn Tampakan copper-gold mine has been delayed by three years, from 2016 to 2019. The mine, which would be the country's single largest foreign direct investment, is estimated to hold more than 15mnt of copper and 17.6moz (million ounces) of gold.

Americas: Key Developments
Canada: ArcelorMittal Sells Canadian Asset - In an effort to raise cash to pay off debt, ArcelorMittal , the world ' s biggest steelmaker, is selling a 15% stake in one of its iron-ore operations in Canada. The stake in ArcelorMittal Mines Canada will be sold to South Korean steelmaker POSCO and Taiwan-listed China Steel. ArcelorMittal has struggled as of late with slow global economic growth and waning steel demand , particularly in the European car and construction industr ies . The company has seen a decline in revenues and an increase in its net debt. Indeed, given both weak demand and overcapacity in many top steel producing countries, we forecast steel to average US$370/tonne in 2013 and US$360/tonne in 2014 compared to US$559/tonne in 2014 . The company ' s Canadian operation maintains two large iron ore mines in Quebec province. This will give POSCO, the world ' s fourth-largest steelmaker, greater access to iron ore, a significant development for the company given its reliance on imported raw materials.

Canada: Government Considering Chinese Arctic Investment - The Canadian government is reportedly considering a proposal by Chinese miner MMG to develop a major zinc and copper project in Nunavut, Canada's northernmost territory. The project would be situated in the Izok Corridor, southeast of Kugluktuk. The project is expected to produce 180ktpa ( thousand tonnes per annum) of zinc and 50ktpa of copper. It would also necessitate infrastructure investments in the form of a port, permanent camps, airstrips, and an all-weather road. The potential deal has raised numerous security and environmental concerns. Aboriginal groups and environmentalists expressed concern to the Nunavut Impact Review Board, while others expressed unease with China buying control of a major portion of Canada ' s natural resources. The proposed deal comes in the wake of the recent purchase of energy firm Nexen by China ' s CNC. The deal also highlights two trends we have reported on previously , namely increasing Chinese investment into the natural resources sector in Africa and the Americas, and mining companies exploring and developing frontier assets as ore grades, and hence output, decrease at many existing mines.

Liberia: Joining In West Africa ' s Iron Ore Boom - Severstal, the Russian steelmaker, has increased its resource estimate by 38% to 4.4bnt . Combined with projects owned by BHP Billiton and Vedanta , among others, Liberia has more than 1.5bn tonnes of iron ore reserves due to come online in the next few years, which will see output rapidly expand from negligible at present to approximately 50mntpa (m illion tonnes per annum) by 201 7 . As with Sierra Leone and Guinea, many of these projects are high-grade deposits, a particularly pertinent issue at present as mining companies are seeing margins squeezed by rising energy and labour costs as well as lower metal prices in 2013 and 2014 .
|Ore To Play For
|Liberia - Iron Ore Mines
DR Congo: Rebel Instability Could Deter Investment - The M23 rebel group in the DR Congo have threatened to pull out of peace talks and renege on a ceasefire agreement with the government. Whilst the country has witnessed much instability, the formation of the M23 group has seen an uptick in violence in the east of the country. If talks fail to provide a semblance of peace it would disproportionally affect the country's gold reserves which are located in the east and northeast of the country, whilst the copper sector will be unscathed as production is centred in the relatively stable province of Katanga. Therefore, should negotiations break down and there is an uptick in violence in the east, it would pose significant downside risks to our bullish gold production forecast.
|Instability Could Derail Growth
|DR Congo - Gold & Copper Production
Egypt: Miners To Tread With Caution - The Egyptian Customs Authority has prohibited London-listed gold miner Centamin PLC from exporting its gold shipment due to a failure in obtaining the necessary permit from the Ministry of Petroleum. Although we believe an increasing number of miners will venture abroad in search of stable, long-term supply of mineral resources, we continue to cast doubts on the near term prospects of Egypt's mining industry and expect capital inflows to remain subdued in the years ahead. Egypt's political transition has taken a turn for the worse in recent weeks and this reinforces our conviction that the country will continue to be characterised by policy drift in the coming quarters, with the government's willingness to pursue structural reforms likely to be minimal. Unless considerable efforts are taken to improve the overall investment climate, we believe the pervasiveness of political turbulence will remain a salient constraint to further development in the mining space.

HI ladies!
I'm new to this board... I had my daughter on Thanksgiving morning, at 33 weeks, 6 days. She's been in the NICU ever since, and I'm having a hard time with it, feeling as though its my fault since I had pre-e and preterm labor...
Anyways, she's doing great now, just has to learn how to eat. We try breastfeeding for every feeding I am there for, and she latches on for a few minutes, sucks a few times, and sometimes gets a few mLs, but then will tire out and fall asleep. They've tried the haberman bottle that simulates breastfeeding, and she did OK with it for a few days, but then completely shut down at yesterday's bottle, so now they're giving her a break. Poor girl, she tires so quickly!
My question is... how long did it take your preemie to learn to eat? I know every baby is different, but I'd love some feedback. I'm trying to take it one day at a time, but she'll be 2 weeks old tomorrow, and I just want her home!

I have seen this again and again. The children in the family who are responsible get jobs at age 16, earn good grades and go on to be pretty successful in their careers. They don't ask for any help from their parents per se because they understand that they must work for what they have.
In the meantime, other siblings goof around, don't go to class, lose their licenses for underage drinking, lease cars and apartments they cannot afford, don't graduate from college, get pregnant and end up poor as adults. Their parents repeatedly bail them out, babysit for free, etc, etc.
This happens in so many families I know and I just don't get it. I knew growing up that if I screwed up, beyond giving me some groceries so I would not starve, my mom would not bail me out. Therefore, I worked hard and made responsible choices to be able to support myself.
It seems like some siblings are being penalized for being responsible, while the others are being rewarded for making poor choices.
Do you think knowing that one's parents will bail them out is part of the problem? Not to generalize, but I tend to see this more with younger siblings in the family (though this is not always the case).
My inclincaiton would be to not bail out my own children, but to let them learn their lesson the hard way. I think sometimes it's the only way to help them become responsible adults.

Why Does Interpol Need Immunity from American Law? [Andy McCarthy]
You just can't make up how brazen this crowd is. One week ago, President Obama quietly signed an executive order that makes an international police force immune from the restraints of American law.
Interpol is the shorthand for the International Criminal Police Organization. It was established in 1923 and operates in about 188 countries. By executive order 12425, issued in 1983, President Reagan recognized Interpol as an international organization and gave it some of the privileges and immunities customarily extended to foreign diplomats. Interpol, however, is also an active law-enforcement agency, so critical privileges and immunities (set forth in Section 2(c) of the International Organizations Immunities Act) were withheld. Specifically, Interpol's property and assets remained subject to search and seizure, and its archived records remained subject to public scrutiny under provisions like the Freedom of Information Act. Being constrained by the Fourth Amendment, FOIA, and other limitations of the Constitution and federal law that protect the liberty and privacy of Americans is what prevents law-enforcement and its controlling government authority from becoming tyrannical.
On Wednesday, however, for no apparent reason, President Obama issued an executive order removing the Reagan limitations. That is, Interpol's property and assets are no longer subject to search and confiscation, and its archives are now considered inviolable. This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside the United States.
Interpol works closely with international tribunals (such as the International Criminal Court which the United States has refused to join because of its sovereignty surrendering provisions, though top Obama officials want us in it). It also works closely with foreign courts and law-enforcement authorities (such as those in Europe that are investigating former Bush administration officials for purported war crimes i.e., for actions taken in America's defense).
Why would we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a repository for stashing government files which, therefore, will be beyond the ability of Congress, American law-enforcement, the media, and the American people to scrutinize?
Steve Schippert has more at ThreatsWatch, here.
I think it's neat. This means it'll be even more difficult to prosecute me if I need to put a few of them down.
I'm waiting for the order to "Fix Bayonets".
I think it sounds like preparation for an all out military style assault on the citizenry.
Forgot to ping you, Jim.
Executive order only applies to federal agencies, they still have no exemptions by the states, I doubt they will ever get it.
What is the official WH explanation of why this was such an important thing for him right now? Has anyone asked?
It'll never happen, not like you've worded. We have too many guns, and our military too observant.
Maybe they'll be utilized to enforce the climate treaty that wasn't? Not sure, but I'd be surprised to see them doing anything else.
glad i wasnt the onlyone shocked by this i actually posted the order off of whitehouse.gov and was blown away
Let them come. I'm getting old waiting to have children born into a free country.
Lets end this farce once and for all so our children and grandchildren will know what we can only dimly remember.
Thanks for the ping!
wow. A foreign criminal enforcement agency on American soil without US supervision is blatantly unConstitutional and a flagrant disregard of U.S. soveriegnty.
My current theory is that Interpol has "the goods" on Obama and was able to blackmail him into this executive order, telling him that it was the ONLY way to have "the goods" remain confidential, hidden from public eyes.
Obama just keeps on generating these "Molon Labe" moments; does he really want to challenge the largest armed force on Earth?
Itll never happen, not like youve worded. We have too many guns, and our military too observant.
Agreed, the armed American citizenry would make the Taliban look like girl scouts. If the Obama Administration thinks otherwise, they are sorely misinformed.
But hey, if they want to have a go...
From a purely constitutional standpoint, you are correct, but in practice a single sheet of charmin means more today.
This can't be good.
This obama guilt driven thing has to be dealt with before its too late. Obama has to be removed from office.
Every step is carefully calculated to diminish/destroy American might, sovereignty, its ability to defend itself and in turn replace it with a marxist dictatorship.
The buying of Obamacare senatorial votes highlights the attack on constitutional values... specifically representation by the people. The vast majority do not want it but yet the statute is being "bought" by Obama to complete his nefarious agenda. government control of the people, govt control of the economy, now he is edging in his new world order by bringing in a police force which has greater authority that the FBI, CIA and local police.
This bugger has to be voted out. The people need to be aware of the crap he is perpetrating on them!
No info but my speculation is Obama had staff pull up a list of EOs implemented by Reagan and Bush as a laundry list of TODO's that would be repealed over time to placate leftists here and abroad. Obama probably played that chip in his discussions in Copenhagen to make it sound like he is doing something.
And here:
Executive Order -- Amending Executive Order 12425
Search for "interpol" didn't bring them up, sorry.
INTERPOL will now be able to maintain files on US citizens, and will be immune from FOIA requests.
Good Point.
Interpol breaks down the door of an American and said American, fearing for his life, shoots and kills 3 chumps. Oops, they are part of the International Police Corp.
American is arrested and charged with something like manslaughter(what is the charge for killing some international thug, who broke into your house?)
American law says you get to confront your accuser and all the information leading to it, in discovery.
Interpol claims immunity and now what happens to the case?
Is the American hauled off to the Haig or ICC with approval from the U.S. government?
Let me see, order issued during east coast blizzard news cycle was freaking out on Senate Health Care debate. Not like they didn't want attention focused on it or anything.
Well, this sure slipped by under the radar.
Anyone know how Interpol is funded?
There was a hypothesis out there that interpol had info on Zero (specifically his documentation and travels) that needed to be "expunged" or otherwise permanently hidden ... lest he be found to be a muslim, kenyan, wannabe marxist dictator.
Has anyone found / heard more on this rumor?
The list, ping
Thanks, nachum
This explains it very well. I was having a hard time explaining this simply.
I still wonder why we need a "Police Stability Force"
Could obama really be preparing for civil war?
Is it only Obama? It seems that there have been many warning signs for some time. Hard to point any of this out with out being called a kook.
Just a guess.
Because they want to usher in Sharia Law and the 0bama civilian task force will help with this effort?
IMO, the plan of Obamugabe and his dem minions is to completely control the election process before the 2010 elections and since he has already circumvented and ignored the Constitution in so many instances already, he is preparing to become either "President for Life", or to become permanent head of a world government.
Holder has complete control of the inJustice department and Obama is using his czars to circumvent the nation's current law.
This is a very scary time folks. One wonders when our own military will be used against the citizens.
I have followed Cathy Buckle's "Letters from Zimbabwe" for several years. I think Obamugabe is using Mugabe's actions as a blueprint for the US. This is "reparations from whites" in a nutshell.
EO 12425, issued by President Reagan in 1983 was also revised by ... CLINTON ... (surprise, surprise). Clinton also removed some of the restraints on INTERPOL which the original EO had.
I read them all yesterday but can't recall the specifics. Which is basically irrelevant in view of what Barry's done.
But 'series' if INTERPOL comes knocking on your door, will you care? Personally I give them less credence than any UN Blue Helmet that may appear on US soil. As far as I'm concerned the US Constitution is STILL the Supreme Law of the Land! So Barry can sign all the INTERPOL EO's he wants.
oh-oh. I'm now on Janet Nappy's DHS extremist list for saying the 'Constitution' is supreme. I think maybe I should be scared?
Same way the UN is funded.
Well, my take would be upon discovering the idiots were from interpol, said American grabs his bug out bag, extra ammo, and two of his closest like-minded friends...... and well, I'm sure you can figure out the rest. It's better than going bankrupt trying to defend against tyrany in a court controlled by tyrants.
Men with nothing to die for or kill for also have nothing to live for.....nor do they deserve the security provided by others.
I think this has to do with future War Crimes Trials of previous leaders and officers.
>> Could obama really be preparing for civil war?

It's been a long time coming, the question is what will the match be that starts the fire?
Right now the Constitution is the water in the tinderbox. And this administration has a Blow Dryer....
He can either destroy the US without resistance or destroy it thru resistance.
He is a cancer on the country and needs to be treated that way and soon, too, before it is too late.
"I think it sounds like preparation for an all out military style assault on the citizenry. "
I wonder what their uniforms look like..
Unfortunately, the current governng bodies of this country don't seem to agree with that! Just wait for the next to appointees to SCOTUS!
Reminds me of the Hessians (sp?) that were paid fighters for the British during the Revolution......

7 tips to prevent summer-learning loss
The scholastically carefree days of summer can serve to provide students with a needed break from school, but can also hurt them come fall. Summer learning is paramount to helping your student perform better in the upcoming school year.
Here are a few tips for parents looking to make the most out of summer learning:
1. Design a flexible learning schedule that can be broken down into smaller intervals, such as 20-minute segments three times a day or 30-minute sessions twice a day – do what works best for your child!
2. Subjects that are consistently difficult for your child should be given the most time. Key learning concepts in a specific subject area can generally be found online or in workbooks from a teacher-supply store. Pre-learning key concepts can make the upcoming fall classes easier to understand and enable the student to perform better in the class.
3. Mathematical subjects consist of concepts that build upon themselves throughout the school year. Therefore, students should review and practice three or four math problems and procedures each day.
4. Review and look at upcoming vocabulary terms – and not just for English class! Students will be able to better understand class lectures in math, science, and other classes when they know the terms incorporated in the lessons. Use flash cards to play learning quiz games with family or friends and include everyone.
5. Literacy and reading comprehension skills can be improved in students who read a minimum of two classical literature books over vacation. Reading aloud daily to a parent, sibling or friend can additionally help improve a student's reading fluency skills at a steady rate.
6. Students who need a boost in their reading comprehension skills can benefit from jotting down a few key words or phrases on a piece of notebook paper as each paragraph is read.
7. Have your student construct creative-writing paragraphs about a topic they like to help improve her writing skills. Then have her reread for clarification, grammar and spelling errors.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — New recommendations from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) call for stability control systems to be required on new commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds.
In the recommendations — which includes school buses — the NTSB also calls on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to develop stability control system performance standards for all commercial motor vehicles and buses with a gross vehicle weight rating above 10,000 pounds, regardless of whether they are equipped with a hydraulic or a pneumatic brake system.
The recommendations — which supersede earlier, similar recommendations (H-10-5 and H-10-6) — were among several from the NTSB in response to a 2009 incident in Indiana in which a tanker truck carrying liquefied petroleum gas rolled over and caught fire.

HP ProBook 5330m-LG719EA
Average of 3 scores (from 5 reviews)
Reviews for the HP ProBook 5330m-LG719EA
Source: Notebooks.com
The HP ProBook 5330m is a business notebook, but if you didn't know that, you might confuse it for a very nice consumer notebook thanks to a number of user-friendly features. Unlike many business notebooks, the HP ProBook 5330m has backlit keys, good Beats Audio and a premium on looks.
Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 12/09/2011
Source: It Pro
The HP ProBook 5330m would be an excellent ultraportable laptop if only it had the long battery life to go with its sturdy, attractive design and good specification. As such, it's just a good laptop rather than a superb one. If you can live with its comparatively short battery life or just need a fast processor, it's a good alternative to the MacBook Air. If applications performance is entirely unimportant, the considerably cheaper Sony Vaio Y series has longer battery life making it a great budget alternative.
Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 09/22/2011

Source: Notebookreview.com
At the end of the work day, the HP ProBook 5330m is the kind of business laptop you'll be happy to take home. For just $799 or $899 you get a well-equipped notebook with extremely durable construction, good performance an a nice keyboard with LED backlighting.

Taken on its own, the HP ProBook 5330m seems like a reasonable laptop. Business travelers will be pleased by the sturdy construction, matte display and excellent performance. At least, that is, until other mile-high executives pass by in the airport with their own choices. Suddenly the flaws in this product start to reveal themselves.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
Congrats are in order. The Dream is on to his third marriage! After accusations of domestic violence emerged earlier this year, The Dream broke off his engagement with baby mama/girlfriend Lydia Nam. Since he's been so quiet lately, we had no idea that he was not only dating, but engaged to someone else. Third's time is a charm though, because the producer/singer has wed yet again. This time his vows were directed towards Lalonne Martinez.
"THE MRS. I LOVE YOU with my Whole Entire Heart and Spirit, God has blessed me in a Time where any man would feel overcome! God has restored my Heart!" The Dream posted to Instagram. "Congratulations to a great friend and father! Love is in the air, may you both live in bliss from this day forward! You deserve it" ex-wife Christina Milian said reposting one of The Dream's photos.
The Dream and his new bride tied the knot at San Francisco City Hall. This is his third marriage. The first with Nivia (2004–2008) and Christina Milian (2009–2011), both of which have children with the producer.

About the Movie
Hugh Jackman returns as The Wolverine and faces his ultimate nemesis in an action packed life-or-death battle that takes him to modern day Japan. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, Logan confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality; an epic fight that will leave him forever changed.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A handful of bold ideas brought down by the need to regress to a blander, more box-office-friendly middle ground.
Fresh: It's a relief to come across a blockbuster that finds a location and stays there, rather than hopping desperately from one place to the next ...
Fresh: A refreshing summer cocktail of action-movie staples, The Wolverine combines the bracingly adult flavor of everyone's favorite mutant antihero with the fizzy effervescence of several mixers from the cabinet of Japanese genre cinema.
Fresh: Although The Wolverine eventually falls back on a comic-book formula and CG effects (the climactic face-off between Logan and a giant silver warriorlike thing is totally generic), Mangold and his team find time to explore more nuanced realms ...
Customer Reviews
Of all the superheroes in the "X-Men" universe, there's no doubt that Wolverine (a.k.a. Logan) is the one who's managed to stand out the most. He's become such a popular character over the years, even his brief appearance in 2011's "First Class" was one of the most memorable moments in the entire flick. For over a decade now, Hugh Jackman has been playing the clawed Canadian with a fierce energy that simply can't be duplicated, and despite a couple of unfortunate cinematic slip-ups (2006's "The Last Stand" and 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"), he's still pretty much remained one of the most consistently entertaining Marvel heroes ever portrayed on film. And with "The Wolverine," the X-Man's long-anticipated return to the big screen, he embarks on his most thrilling solo adventure to date, one that takes him all the way to the Land of the Rising Sun: Japan. And while I must admit that the film doesn't take quite as many chances as its unique premise would suggest, it's still a fun and breathless ride nonetheless.
The story begins in Alaska, where Logan (Jackman) is still struggling to cope with the loss of his lover Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), who appears to him regularly in strange, soft-focus dreams. Then a young woman named Yukio (Rila Fukushima) shows up, insisting that he return to Japan to see Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi), a former WWII soldier whose life Logan saved in the A-bombing of Nagasaki. But in Tokyo, our hero soon finds that the near-death Yashida wants to relieve him of his healing immortality with the help of a sinister blonde doctor named Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova). Meanwhile, Yashida's son Shingen (Hiroyuki Sanada) is angry that his daughter Mariko (Tao Okamoto) is now the heir to his father's fortune. As for Logan, he's constantly being hunted by endless, massive armies of tattooed Yakuza goons and arrow-shooting ninjas wherever he goes. Is there a chance he'll ever make it out alive? Eh, probably.
Throughout most of its run time, the flick has a consistently brisk pace, barely pausing its breath before plunging into another terrific, larger-than-life set piece. Sure, none of them follow even the most basic laws of logic and physics, but when you're watching Wolverine fight some tenacious thugs on top of a speeding bullet train, there's just no room for actual reasoning. Director James Mangold (whose previous works include "Walk the Line," "3:10 to Yuma," and "Knight and Day") puts the gorgeous, exotic settings of Japan to very efficient use, and seeing as how the central story takes its inspiration from Chris Claremont/Frank Miller miniseries from the 1980s, he also stays pretty faithful to the comic books as well. For most fans of the clawed superhero, getting to see him fight a lot of bad guys in a new world in which he's entirely out of his element is quality entertainment enough, but Mangold turns up the notch a little more than that, combining the bracing, blood-pumping action of past "X-Men" adventures with the stylish and swift choreography of Japanese genre cinema. It's this unique twist to the story that makes it all the more gripping to watch, not to mention Jackman is in full-character mode as Wolverine, delivering a solidly energetic performance that improves upon his previous portrayals of the mutant antihero in quite a few ways. Even his female co-stars, Fukushima and Okamoto, manage to be constantly engaging as the movie's leading ladies, although their characters could've certainly benefited from more depth and personal development. Speaking of which, that happens to be the problem with a lot of the characters here, especially the villains. We're never really given any detailed insight into their true intentions and motives, and thus, it gets to a point where we're just waiting these bland antagonists to be defeated already. The big climax alone contrasts hugely to the rest of the film, as it just feels too convoluted and bloated with constant CGI to complement the previous half's much more serious, gracefully chaotic tone. But I digress. At least the flick makes up for that one slight misstep with plenty of suspense and action-filled tension, keeping us glued to our seats even when we know what'll happen in the very next scene.
At the end of the day, this film is Wolverine's show to steal. And boy, does he steal it. As the brooding, immortal X-Man, Jackman proves once again his prowess as the character, giving a largely impressive performance that's as emotionally raw as it is brutally physical. And with a supporting cast of talented actors to back him up, he delivers all the goods you'd expect (and then some) in this dark, character-driven adventure. From the brilliant, breathtaking action sequences that showcase some incredible martial arts action to the exquisite production design that nicely captures the vibrant beauty of Japan, nearly every scene in the movie is simply eye-popping. But even with all its style, "The Wolverine" still lacks a bit of substance and focus due to the uneven screenplay and its unfortunate letdown of a final act. Even so, this is still one of the most entertaining blockbusters of 2013, plus a solid lead-up to next year's "Days of Futures Past." So whether you're a huge "X-Men" fan or just wanna see Wolverine battle ninjas, Yakuza, and every other manner of Japanese assassin, this adrenaline-pumped movie is not to be missed.
I love X-Men, and Wolverine is my absolute favorite character, but I hated this movie. There wasn't anything particularly gripping about the plot, which actually seemed to be pretty muddled most of the time. Sure, there's a few great action scenes, but not enough to save the movie. I don't get the interest between Logan and Mariko, and while it was interesting to see how Logan deals with the aftermath of Jean's death, the new relationship seemed superficial and forced, and definitely took away from Logan's struggle over Jean. Furthermore, the description and trailers were nothing like the movie at all, not to mention the fact that Logan spends half the movie without his abilities, and then they take away his metal claws. Sorry, but Logan without his metal claws means Logan isn't really Wolverine anymore. This is the worst X-Men movie they have ever made, and I'm going to do my best to forget I ever saw it. I hope they can redeem it in the next movie, but if not, this one can definitely destroy the X-Men series.
The Immortal X-Man's Most Exciting Adventure Yet!
It's been four years since the disappointing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" was released in theaters. And let's be honest, that entire movie was a mess, so making a better, more improved follow-up film would definitely prove to be an easy feat. And of course, it was. The superhero mutant's latest big-budget blockbuster, "The Wolverine," is truly unlike any other film in the "X-Men" saga, despite the fact that it still exists in the same universe. In fact, director James Mangold basically abandons the central theme of all those films (the clash between humans and mutants) entirely, instead focusing solely on this titular character as he travels to Japan in an exciting and imaginative fish-out-of-water adventure. The stakes are high, the villains are endless in size, and the white-knuckle thrills are literally around every corner. Seriously, the action sequences in this flick are truly some of the best I've seen all year (some are even better than the ones in "Iron Man 3" and "Man of Steel"). The most thrilling scene, in which Wolverine battles a ton of thugs on top of a speeding bullet train, left me in complete awe from start to finish. Even the stylishly choreographed ninja battles pack a massive punch. Of course, Hugh Jackman delivers a terrific, knockout performance once again as the aggressive X-Man, adding some unexpected emotion to the character while putting his claws to consistent use. This time, though, he's backed up by a solid supporting cast that manages to help provide just enough tension and suspense to keep things interesting the whole way through (although the characterizations for the bad guys could've been handled in a much better way). And that leads to my biggest issue with this film: the script. For the most part, it actually holds up pretty well. The plot moves at a swift pace, and the action sequences never get in the way of letting us soak in the incredible atmosphere of rural and urban Japan. Still, what ends up bringing the movie down in the long run is the total lack of depth and development in these new characters. Sure, they're intriguing to watch, but we're never given any grounded reason as to why we should care about or root against them. Even Viper, a terrific villain from the comic books, is wasted in a nearly thankless role. And then there's the film's big climax, which, I must say, felt like somewhat of a letdown, mostly because it relied on jarring, over-the-top cartoon violence and a surprise twist that didn't gel with the rest of the movie as well as it easily could have. Despite those considerable problems, however, I still can't deny that I had a fun time watching "The Wolverine." With its breathtaking cinematography, great use of atmosphere, rapidly edited action scenes, brilliant Japanese-inspired score, and enthusiastic performances, this superhero movie ultimately makes up in gritty, adrenaline-fueled style what it oftentimes lacks in cohesive narrative substance, making it a mostly satisfying adventure for huge fans of the popular "X-Men" character like myself. So if you love Wolverine, Japanese culture, and emotionally charged, high-speed action, this big, epic blockbuster is just for you. Oh, and don't forget to stick around during the credits. There's a great scene you don't wanna miss!

About Quick
Although one of many British synth pop duos to surface during the early '80s, the Quick actually got their start on the other side of the Atlantic. Bassist/keyboardist George McFarlane, who was in California doing session work, met vocalist and fellow Englishman Colin "Col" Campsie at a Los Angeles party in 1978, and the pair agreed to work together when they returned to London. Roxy Music producer Rhett Davies oversaw their initial demo, which won them a contract with Epic Records; the Quick bowed with the debut single "Sharks Are Cool, Jets Are Hot" in the fall of 1979. The duo first broke in Australia, when their song "Hip Shake Jerk" became a huge hit there in 1980, and their first album, On the Uptake, was rush-released for the Outback market. In 1982, it was remixed and repackaged for the rest of the world titled as Fascinating Rhythm. The album included production by dance music mastermind John Luongo, and spawned a number one U.S. dance hit with "Zulu." A second outing, International Thing, appeared in 1984; by that point, Campsie and McFarlane were also active in studio work for other artists, such as Endgames, for whom they produced the album Building Beauty. They returned in 1986 on a new label, A&M, with Wah Wah, which also featured a new producer: Cure bassist Phil Thornalley. Wah Wah would be the pair's final album as the Quick, although they regrouped two years later as Giant Steps, boasting a similar synth pop sound. This time around, however, Campsie and McFarlane managed to crack the American Top 40 with the hit "Another Lover." ~ Dan LeRoy, Rovi

Tuck: Worst Uniforms In The NFL
The Bucs revealed new uniforms today, and boy are they ugly.
I think they immediately become one of the worst in football. ?Here is how I rank the the top 5 worst uniforms in the NFL.
5. NY Giants- White jersey with?red?numbering/lines? ?It's plain, and it's not?blue.?I have never been a fan of the grey pants either.
4. NY Jets- It's dull, from the helmets to the cleats. Should have been remodeled long ago.
3. Buffalo Bills- The red, white, and blue works alright, but just not a fan of how they blended it. ?Preferred the old red helmets as they stood out more.
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- I was okay with the helmets, but these XFL-ish looking uniforms should be burned. ?There is just way too much going on. ?It's not flashy and it's not clean.
1. Jacksonville Jaguars- I don't like the two-toned helmets at all. ?It's like they wanted to introduce a new color, but they didn't want to so they just threw it on the back of the helmet. ?They would have been better served to go all the way with it, perhaps even eliminating the teal altogether.

Reviews for Face to Face Enrichment Center

As a board member and volunteer at some of the program sessions, I have been able to see the proof of how this organization has touched my life as well as other women within the community. Because I know the CEO personally, I know she has a heart to help others and possesses the creativity and motivation to strive towards completion of any assignment despite the obstacles that a set before her. Face to Face Enrichment Center has grown beyond all expectations and can easily serve as a blueprint for awareness organizations that are dedicated to issues that plague women. In my opinion, Face to Face Enrichment Center has such a solid foundation that it has the potential to expand services beyond the Ascension Parish border. It has proven to be a worthwhile service which has educated, encouraged, enlightened, and exposed women who may have otherwise been unaware of deadly diseases which are prevalent within the Ascension Parish Community.

I've had the opportunity to observe Gabrielle Johnson "Gabby"as she started this venture with a prayer and dedication. She continue to give her all to everyone she serve. She is passionate and committed to improving the lives of others. I had the opportunity thru Face To face to travel to a World's HIV/AIDS conference. This was a reality check for me. There is so much to do in this area; networking with other organizations and finding that Face To Face is on the right track in tackling some of these issues. I worked with Gabby at Health Fairs, whatever avenue available to get the word out about improving lives, Face To face and staff is ready. I'm glad to be a part of this organization.

Many years ago, I had another duffel with a masonite bottom. I liked how it kept its shape. So, I measured the bottom of this duffel and fitting a 1/4" piece of Oak plywood into the bottom. LOL I cut it so tight, I almost had to turn the duffle inside-out to make it work. But, work it does.

This review is from: Fractal Design Define R4 Arctic White Silent ATX Mid Tower Case
Pros: I've always been a budget case guy and I've always gone with a plain black case. In point, my last case was the Rosewill Challenger which I purchased for $29.99.
This time I wanted to get a white case to be different but couldn't pull the trigger on any of the NZXT white cases. Several people I know who have one and some of the reviews for the NZXT white cases I've read have complaints about the paint chipping off real easy.
So at the time, this was on sale for $79.99 and decided what the heck...a little more than what I would like to spend but it was the cheapest white case I could find not made by NZXT.
So far, it's been the best case I've had. The built in filters, GREAT! The extra inch or so on the width of the case, GREAT! Seven positions for fans, GREAT! USB 3.0, GREAT!
Cons: It's already heavy with no components in it and can get really heavy with everything in it. But I don't workout much and I don't plan on using this case for weights ;)READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Silverstone CPF01 3.94" PWM Fan Splitter Cable
Pros: It does the job. Solid as they come and the cable shielding is perfect.
Cons: Maybe could ask for an inch or two longer.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP 120mm Silent Case Fan
Pros: I got this 4 pack for $11 after the latest sale an a Newegg.com coupon code. Can't really beat that for decent fans. I really like the silver colored screws. They are a nice touch in my Rosewill Challenger case and they match the silver buttons on the case as well.
Cons: One of the four fans make a noticeable humming sound. One of the remaining three make a low humming sound. While the other two are perfectly quite. I quess when you pay $11 for four of them you are bound to have something wrong.READ FULL REVIEW

Joe DeLaine stood in the very courtroom Friday where his father's case started the long road toward ending the practice of separating schoolchildren by skin color.
South Carolina law professionals gathered at the federal courthouse in Charleston to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the landmark Briggs v. Elliott case. Although lower courts upheld racial segregation, U.S. District Judge J. Waties Waring's impassioned dissent laid the foundation for the U.S. Supreme Court's eventual reversal of that decision in the Brown v. Board of Education ruling.
The Briggs case began with 17 families, as Joe DeLaine recalled Friday, who came together in Clarendon County in 1944 and paid $300 for an old bus that had been converted into a chicken coop, which they turned back into a running vehicle. Some of those people lived 18 miles away from their children's school.
When that bus eventually broke down, the families chose the Rev. Joseph DeLaine as their spokesman to ask for transportation. As the case progressed, the younger DeLaine remembered, threats started.
A local school principal eventually won a slander lawsuit against the elder DeLaine, and the family's house burned down shortly thereafter.
The insurance money never came, Joe DeLaine said, and the company told his father that it went toward the settlement he owed.
The family took that as a message.
The DeLaines relocated to Lake City, where they lived peacefully for five years before the Supreme Court's ruling on Brown v. Board of Education. Joe DeLaine said someone vandalized his father's parsonage, and then the Rev. DeLaine received a letter telling him to leave town within 10 days or die.
Church officials asked him to relocate, but "you know where he told them to go," his son said Friday.
The church eventually burned too, and the DeLaine family fled to New York. Joe DeLaine credits his father and Waring, also living in New York by then, for organizing food delivery to people involved in the case back in South Carolina.
Clarendon County merchants refused to sell to people suspected of participating in the Briggs case, and Jet magazine flew in supplies.
Thomas Hanchett, curator of the "Courage: The Carolina Story That Changed America" exhibit at the Levine Museum of the New South in Charlotte, introduced DeLaine on Friday. Hanchett described the circumstances under which the DeLaines and the other Clarendon County families rallied.
At the time, the entire black community shared a single phone, Hanchett said, adding, "Imagine organizing in that kind of world."

Samsung buys video streaming software firm Boxee
Wants to improve its smart televisions
ELECTRONICS GIANT Samsung has bought Boxee to boost its smart television technology.
Boxee is best known for its software and the Boxee Box that uses Google's Android to stream video over the internet. The firm has announced that it has been purchased by Samsung, though it did not disclose for how much.
According to a post on Boxee's website, being bought by Samsung will allow it to bring parts of its software to Samsung's hardware. The firm referred to television products, though given Samsung's extensive mobile product range of smartphones and tablets, it won't be surprising to see some of Boxee's technologies appear in those devices.
Boxee did however deliver one piece of bad news as it said it will shut down its cloud based digital video recorder service on 10 July. The firm said it will mean those users who used the service to record programmes will not be able to access those recordings after 10 July and offered the alternative to keep those recordings elsewhere.
"For Boxee users, we're working behind the scenes to ensure there's minimal impact to your devices. However, the beta Cloud DVR functionality we provided to certain Boxee TV users will be discontinued on July 10th. You will not have access to your existing recordings after that date," Boxee said in a statement.
Given the muted success of Boxee and its sole hardware product so far, being bought by Samsung was perhaps the best chance the firm had of making significant cash and seeing its products reach a wider audience. µ

Subscribe to "It's Taxing"
"Taxing" is a word synonymous with "onerous" and "wearing." Bond Beebe, Accountants & Advisors, have created a user friendly blog called "It's Taxing" to inform and educate our clients and business associates on timely topics related to tax, estates, accounting and finance. We hope our blog answers your questions and alleviates the heavy burden and anxiety related to understanding complicated tax laws and related matters.
As a result of the 16-day government shutdown, the IRS is already predicting a delayed start to the 2014 filing season. Citing a need to allow adequate time to program and test tax processing systems, the IRS is anticipating a delay ranging from one to two weeks. If that expectation stands, taxpayers will be able to begin filing their 2013 tax returns no earlier than January 28th, and no later than February 4th.
UPDATE: With the end of the government shutdown, the IRS has resumed operations and is processing tax returns received since 10/1, as well as refunds. They have begun to respond to correspondence and requests, but do expect initial delays, as well as high call volumes. For additional information on the transition and any associated delays, visit the IRS website.
With the government shut down, IRS operations are limited; according to its contingency plan, the IRS will only keep about 9% of employees on the job. So, what does this mean for you, the taxpayer?
The IRS has announced updated 2014 per-diem rates for the optional high-low substantiation method, effective October 1, 2013. Per-diem rates can be used by employers in lieu of reimbursing actual substantiated expenses for lodging, meals and incidental expenses (M&IE) while an employee is on business travel. The employee must provide simplified substantiation (time, place and business purpose) and the reimbursement is treated as made under an accountable plan (not taxable to the employee).
As promised, the IRS yesterday issued guidance for employers who need to correct prior payroll tax withholding for employees previously taxed on certain same-sex spouse benefits. In Notice 2013-61, the IRS outlines two optional special procedures for correcting income tax withholding and Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) tax withholding for all prior quarters in 2013. It also outlines the procedure for claiming refunds on prior years' FICA taxes withheld.
Yesterday the IRS ruled that all legally married same-sex couples will be treated as married for federal tax purposes, regardless of where they currently reside. The ruling is the first official guidance from the IRS since the Supreme Court ruled on June 26 that section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional.
In its latest effort to boost compliance, the IRS has sent letters to approximately 20,000 small business owners requesting additional information regarding potentially underreported income. Essentially, the IRS is checking to make sure that you have reported and paid tax on all cash transactions. The IRS letters are ominously titled "Notification of Possible Income Underreporting."
Millions of students returning to college campuses this month received a back-to-school gift from Congress with an interest rate reduction for federal student aid. After rates on new Direct Subsidized Loans had doubled from 3.40% to 6.80% as of July 1st, the Senate and House approved a new system which ties current and future rates to the 10-Year Treasury note. In the short-term, that effectively lowers rates from 6.80% to 3.86% for undergraduate students and from 6.80% to 5.41% for graduate students.
On July 30, 2013, District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray signed the "Fiscal Year 2014 Budget Support Emergency Act of 2013." Part of this legislation, the Out-of-State Municipal Bond Tax Repeal Emergency Act of 2013, repeals the 2011 law which required interest income from out-of-state municipal bonds acquired after January 1, 2013 to be included in determining DC taxable income for individuals, estates, and trusts.

It's do or die time for some area South Carolina teams. Midland Valley and Silver Bluff need to start finding ways to win if they want to play even one home game in the state playoffs. Aiken and South Aiken are just trying to make the postseason. With only about a month left in the regular season, quality losses aren't enough anymore.
Speaking of losses, my picks haven't exactly been stellar lately. Let's try this again.

I just had my best week of the season prediction-wise, so chances are my luck runs out this week. Here goes...
Jefferson Davis at Aquinas
Aquinas has looked impressive in five consecutive games and will again against this non-region foe. The Fighting Irish won 47-13 last season and will get their sixth win of this season. A trip to Lincoln County is next.

I went 9-2 last week -- I underestimated Westside again in one of my losses -- and a few huge games this week could be close, with the Butler-Washington County and Laney-Dublin games two of the more intriguing games in the state.
Lakeside at Effingham County
I think we're already seeing the benefits of Lakeside's tough non-region schedule. The Panthers beat Greenbrier by 17 and will end a three-game slide against Effingham County this week.

James Kirkland Stops Alfredo Angulo in a Classic War
Centro de Cancun, Cancun, Mexico - James Kirkland (30-1, 27KOs) stopped Alfredo Angulo (20-2, 17KOs) in the sixth round of a war. The fight was a WBC junior middleweight eliminator for a mandatory shot at the champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
In what many can call a first round for the ages, Kirkland started by pushing Angulo back in the corner, and then Angulo dropped him hard with a right hand in the first thirty seconds. Angulo was close to putting Kirkland away, but he punched himself out and then Kirkland started battering him with a massive amount of power shots to drop Angulo down hard against the ropes. Angulo made it up and nearly got put away himself before the bell saved him.
The second round was more of a war, but it was Kirkland who was getting the better of the action. The trend continued in the third round with Kirkland getting the better of the their exchanges and hurting Angulo with hard power punches. The same thing was happening in the next couple of rounds, with Kirkland pouring it on in the sixth, as he trapped Angulo against the ropes, to force the referee to stop the contest.
