JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israel and the U.S. have successfully tested a new medium-range anti-missile system. "David's Sling" weapons system intercepted a target during its inaugural flight test, Israel's Defense Ministry said. The test comes less than a week after the end of an eight-day war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. During that time, Israel's Iron Dome batteries shot down more than 400 short-range rockets aimed at Israeli population centers. David's Sling is designed to provide an additional layer of defense against ballistic missiles. It joins the joint U.S.-Israeli Arrow weapons system against missile threats.
The Israeli army estimates that Iran, Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas have some 200,000 rockets and missiles aimed at Israel.

Colombia has purchased 11 radar systems that will be used to improve coastal defense and prevent the smuggling of arms, drugs and other contraband into the country, Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon said.
"This will allow us to bring Colombia's coasts under a radar system in the next two years that will permit us to locate any irregular movements on the high seas and on the coasts," Pinzon said during an appearance Saturday at the coast guard base in Coveñas, a city in the Caribbean province of Sucre.
The defense minister, however, did not say when the radar systems were acquired or how much they cost.
The new equipment will also permit Colombia to "strengthen civilian navigation because the radar systems function the same as those for air control, allowing for the identification of navigation routes and the ships that are sailing," the defense minister said.
The primary purpose for acquiring the systems, however, is to battle "drug traffickers and criminals," Pinzon said.
The government also purchased three new patrol boats and two Midnight-class speedboats to bolster coastal security, the defense minister said. EFE

5/40 in our raid got it. So it's not as generous as one would hope.
MC itself wasn't hard. Few tactics and most was healable. What makes it hard is the lack of coordination and people disregarding tactis. One might be able to queue for it via LFR, but MC is far more brutal and unforgiven than earlier LFRs.

Tom Degan: On Saturday, December 30, 2006, Saddam Hussein was hanged for his crimes against humanity. On Tuesday, April 2, 2013, George Walker Bush, Richard Bruce Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld live in comfortable retirement. Isn't life strange?
Why the Democrats Will Win This Election
Steve Hochstadt: Despite the continuing economic disaster, despite lingering racism across white America, despite the daily uncertainties of the world outside our borders, Barack Obama wins again. His victory in 2012 means that Republican ideology is a failure.
Mitt on Obama: Mortal Menace, or Fumbling Failure?
John Peeler: Obama needs to convince the people who voted for him once that he has a good plan. So far, he seems mostly to be telling us how untrustworthy Mitt Romney is. Show us, Barack, that we should still believe in you.
Haitians Poisoned: Liquid Death
Ayiti Kale Je: In Haiti, the authorities continue to mystify the public with promises and "commissions," while the national clairin industry disappears under a tidal wage of imported clairin.
LA's Scandalous Housing Authority: For Better or For Worse
Stephen Box: The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) is the latest department to fall victim to the oversight and accountability scrum that starts when the media shines a spotlight and concludes when the public gets bored.
Congratulations Republicans!
Steve Hochstadt: In 2011, the Republican strategy has been crowned with total success. They have managed to make the US government into a laughing stock, a global symbol of incompetence. Public confidence in government is at an all-time low.
Washington vs. America
Brent Budowsky: Washington is an island drowning in its own self-interest, surrounded by a hurting and unhappy nation of deeply patriotic citizens who hunger for shared national purpose but find our politics to be sickening, insulting and corrupted.
LAUSD "You Can't Get There From Here"
Leonard Isenberg: What motivates me is something rather positive and comes from the fact that I am a product of what was best at LAUSD from 1952 until 1964, where I got an excellent education.
Rethinking Big Government
Tom Degan: Shouldn't the argument be focused – not on "big government" – but rather on "good government"? Efficiency versus incompetence? We are now a nation of over three-hundred million people. The very idea that the government should be made smaller – or done away with entirely – is beyond idiotic.
Goldman Sucks
Tom Degan: It's highly unlikely that any serious reform is going to be put forward until the Republican presence on Capital Hill has been significantly diluted if not eradicated. I do not believe that it is a given that they are going to gain major ground come Election Day. In fact there is every reason to believe that they will only continue to self-destruct between now and then. They can't win without the section of the electorate who describe themselves as "moderate". The moderates are taking a good look at the train wreck that is the modern GOP and by all accounts they're becoming more and more disgusted by what they see.
Government, Cafeteria Style
Ron Wolff: Not only would cafeteria-style government be a logistical nightmare if it were attempted, but nearly every important function of an organized society would be under-funded, because a significant portion of the population would opt out.
Progressives Mobilize to Save Obama, Democratic Party
Republicans thought the "just say no" strategy that killed the Clinton plan would also work in 2009. But they forgot that this strategy now lacks the element of surprise, and that the Internet now prevents the corporate media from entirely controlling the debate.
Building a Bush Memorial
A letter to the editor in my local newspaper, the Charlottesville Daily Progress, has persuaded me to rethink the truly remarkable accomplishments of President George W. Bush and inspired me to join the movement to erect a Bush Memorial on the National Mall. The letter, published on February 9th, was from David H. Edmunds of […]

With the biggest Royal Rumble match ever now in the books and with the two World Champions retaining their belts, it's now time to think about Wrestlemania 27.
It's not a secret for no one: Alberto Del Rio accomplished his destiny and created a huge upset by winning the historic over-the-rope extravaganza.
But in addition to that victory by Del Rio, many events happened during the Rumble match, and I invite you to take a look at the potential aftermath of the evening.
So, with no more introduction, let's take a look at what WWE may have in store for their biggest show of the year this coming April.

The Defining Issue: Not Government's Size, but Who It's For
Robert Reich: Not a day goes by without Republicans decrying the budget deficit. But the biggest single reason for the yawning deficit is big money's corruption of Washington.
The Republican Weapon of Mass Cynicism
Robert Reich: If we can't trust government at a time like this, whom can we trust? Corporations? Wall Street? Bill Gates and Warren Buffett? Or is each of us now simply on our own?
Paul Ryan's Plan: What's Really at Stake
Robert Reich: Obama must show America that the basic choice is between two fundamental views of this nation. Either we're all in this together, or we're a bunch of individuals who happen to live within these borders and are mainly on their own.
Be the Peace You Want to See on Earth
David Swanson: I've never found any opponent of war who didn't believe there was evil in the world. After all, we oppose war because it is evil. Did Martin Luther King, Jr., stand idle in the face of threats? Are you serious?
Taking Money Out of Politics: A Grassroots Effort for Clean ElectionsTaking Money Out of Politics: A Grassroots Effort for Clean Elections
Paul Loeb: Nothing makes us feel more powerless than the corruption of our democracy by money. It undermines progress on every issue we face. If America is ever to deal with our critical problems, we're going to need to sever the links between wealth and politics, a task made more challenging by the recent Supreme Court decision that overturned a hundred years of precedent to increase still further the influence of companies like Exxon, United Health and Goldman Sachs.
Obama Brought the Word, But Will Congress Listen?
For those of who believe, as we do, that the tepid healthcare reforms rising to the top right now will either be too weak to benefit Americans who need help the most or will benefit most the insurance companies and others who already profit handsomely by withholding life-giving care, this is the time to press forward universal healthcare options that will actually solve the country's healthcare crisis.
Why We Need a "Truth Commission" to Investigate Torture
The American people's faith in their government—even with the election of Barack Obama—remains compromised. One reason is obvious. Americans see low-level military operatives being imprisoned for mistreatment, even murder, of prisoners. At the same time, high-level officials go uninvestigated and unpunished. In their case, we're told to look forward rather than backward, an empty phrase […]

Any word if Cincinnati is having a "Light Up Cincinnati"? I hope they aren't having it this Monday because I fly out of CVG Monday afternoon.
Looks like the murals are indeed coming back to downtown Cincinnati: http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/hamilton-county/cincinnati/downtown/union-terminal-murals-to-be-mounted-outside-convention-centerI'm ecstatic that they are being saved and moved home, but am a little sad that they are going on the Central Ave side of the Convention Center. Seems that few people will have the opportunity to walk by them in that location and really admire the artwork.
Union Terminal Murals Deserve to be Displayed Within Duke Energy CenterCentral Avenue Site Should be Staging Area, Not a Final Installation(Cincinnati, Ohio) Yesterday City Council's Budget and Finance Committee voted to expend $750,000 to install nine of the Union Terminal murals in a glass enclosure on the west (rear) wall of the Duke Energy Center. "This is a welcome step forward but the plan is incomplete," said Paul Muller, Executive Director of CPA. "These treasures deserve a more appropriate setting, which we know will take time and planning." While the murals need to be stored temporarily while the Center is structurally upgraded for their installation, the plan as presented yesterday needs to be modified for the following reasons:Temporary storage, not permanent relocation. The murals deserve a final home inside the Duke Energy Center lobby, where they can be viewed and enjoyed by thousands of City residents and visitors. The Central Avenue location is ideal for storage since the murals would not have to be loaded on trucks once the Center is prepared and funds are raised for the installation. It does not work as a permanent home.Damage to the murals. The idea of a glass wall on the storage structure is unsound. The ultraviolet radiation and even the visible light from west-facing exposure would cause damage to the murals.Lack of visibility. The lack of pedestrian traffic on Central Avenue means fewer people would see the murals. In their original location at Union Terminal, and at the airport, the artworks were highly visible to an appreciative public.Conveys the wrong impression. Displaying the murals in a glass box outdoors could give the impression that the relocation was complete, reducing the chance that they would end up in a more fitting indoor location indoors.World-class art for Cincinnati. Artist Winold Reiss, creator of the murals, rooted the heroic images in reality, connecting them to the specifics of our region. This connection explains why the murals are so deeply appreciated by the people of Cincinnati, who have donated $57,000 to the Save the Murals Fund at the Cincinnati Preservation Association.A legacy of preservation. In 1972 Cincinnatians rallied to save all 14 murals from Union Terminal by relocating them to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. This was one of the most successful art conservation rescues in the history of our country. It unique because of both the size of the threatened murals and because of the quality and artistic significance.Recommendation: The location of the temporary storage is good, the glass is a problem. We recommend that a solid wall be created in lieu of the glass to protect the murals while the final location planning and fundraising is underway. Alfred Moore, who led the original save of Union Terminal and the murals in 1972, believes they deserve a more prominent setting. "We received support from nearly ten thousand people when the murals were threatened" said Mr. Moore. "They represent Cincinnati's artistic and cultural heritage at its finest and should be proudly displayed." In 2014 Cincinnatians overwhelmingly expressed their support for the restoration of Union Terminal. Now is the time to care for these nine works of art, which also are part of that legacy. The full Council is expected to vote tomorrow on funding the mural move. The support of Cincinnatians is necessary to ensure that these priceless works of art are properly cared for and will be installed in the location they deserve. Supporters are urged to contact the Mayor and Council members by phone and email and to attend tomorrow's Council meeting to voice their support.

New lanes aren't workingJune 09,2014New lanes
arent working
I promised myself that I would give the newly configured Woodstock Avenue some time to see if the reconfiguration would offer a multitude of benefits far outweighing any discomforts. I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings to city officials who have embraced this road rechannelization but it aint workin.
The steady stream of traffic heading east and west (and this isnt even ski season) has created a number of problems impatient drivers trying desperately to leave their side streets and parking lots to join the line and cars using the turning lane to pass. I left the dump this morning and as I entered onto Gleason Road, I joined 13 cars waiting to get onto Woodstock Avenue. I can easily see how our businesses have been negatively affected as well.
The Woodstock Avenue and Deer Street intersection is still a circus and a dangerous one at that for pedestrians and drivers alike. I live on North Street Extension and have definitely seen more short cut traffic on our street since the changes were made. It was worth looking at folks but enough is enough lets get back to the two lanes each way it wasnt broken, so, lets not fix it.

Arctic permafrost has become a recent star in the climate change conversation, capturing the attention of scientists, activists and policymakers alike because of its ability to emit large quantities of carbon dioxide as well as methane — a particularly potent though relatively short-lived greenhouse gas — when it thaws. As temperatures rise in the Arctic, scientists are increasingly concerned that permafrost will become a major contributor to the greenhouse gas emissions driving global warming.
Studies of permafrost emissions are important in both estimating current levels of greenhouse gas emissions and making predictions for the future. So far, most studies have focused on the way permafrost behaves in the summer, when Arctic temperatures are at their highest. But a new paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says we've been overlooking the importance of cold-season emissions of methane gas in particular — and possibly underestimating their impact in the future.
"The cold period in general is the time of the year that is warming the fastest in these Arctic ecosystems," said the new study's lead author Donatella Zona, an assistant professor at San Diego State University and research fellow at the University of Sheffield.
Until recently, scientists have known very little about how much methane is released by permafrost during the cold winter months, she said. But she noted, "Really, if we're thinking about the future of climate change, we need to understand if this time of the year is important."
[Scientists say climate change could cause a 'massive' tree die off in the U.S. Southwest]
Currently, most of the models that scientists use to predict future methane emissions only factor in warm-season methane emissions, assuming that the vast majority of permafrost emissions will occur when temperatures are at their highest. These models are important because they allow scientists to make projections about how severe global warming will be in the future and help policymakers make decisions about how much — and how quickly — global carbon emissions need to be reduced.
So Zona, along with a group of nearly 20 other scientists, decided to investigate whether cold-season methane emissions were really as negligible as the models have assumed. They examined data collected from five different sites in Alaska between June 2013 and January 2015, as well as data collected from aircraft in the same region.
"Donatella and her team are to be commended for making the first year-round measurements of [methane] in the Arctic," said Stan Wullschleger, an environmental scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in an email to The Post. "…The fact that this was done not just at one site, but multiple sites, is a breakthrough in our ability to quantify [methane] budgets for tundra ecosystems."
The researchers found that cold-season methane emissions are not only not negligible — they're pretty significant. While emissions varied somewhat from one site to the next, Zona said that, overall, emissions from September to May accounted for about half of all the methane emitted from those sites throughout the entire year.
This might seem a little baffling when you consider the fact that methane is generally released as Arctic soil thaws — a process that should be most pronounced during the warmest part of the year. Zona said the key to understanding where cold-season emissions come from lies in the way Arctic soil is structured and how it reacts to changes in temperature.
Arctic soil layers are structured kind of like a sandwich in the winter, Zona said. There's a top layer (the very surface of the soil) and a bottom layer that both freeze as temperatures drop. In between them, there's a layer of soil — found just below the surface — that can remain unfrozen for months, even as the temperature drops. This period of time is known as the "zero curtain" period, because temperatures in the unfrozen middle layer tend to hover right around zero degrees Celsius. The researchers believe that the majority of methane emissions produced during the winter occur during this zero curtain period, while the middle soil layer is still unfrozen.
[The Arctic climate threat that nobody's even talking about yet]
The researchers also discovered another characteristic of cold-season methane emissions that isn't well reflected in current models. According to the authors, most models assume that wetter tundra sites produce more methane than drier sites — but they found that dry sites actually seemed to be producing the most methane.
These are all important points when it comes to predicting how much methane the Arctic will release in the future.
Estimates of current Arctic methane emissions are more or less accurate, Zona said. But she believes the models are likely to underestimate how much methane will be produced in the future, if they don't take cold-season emissions into account. This is because the zero curtain period will likely exist for longer and longer amounts of time if winter temperatures continue to rise in the Arctic. Future increases in snowfall could also help extend the zero curtain period, since snow tends to insulate the soil and keep it warm.
"The problem with modeling is that there's not much data available from sites," said Martin Heimann, director of the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, noting that different areas in the Arctic emit methane at different rates. Expanding the database with more on-the-ground measurements, such as those collected in this study, will be crucial to coming up with the most accurate understanding of the processes going on in the Arctic and the way they will affect Earth's future climate.
In the meantime, the study identifies some key aspects of Arctic methane emissions that, until now, have been largely overlooked — and suggests that a major updating of climate models may be overdue. The paper encapsulates "fascinating research that is neither captured in previous measurements or in our models," Wullschleger said. "We still have a lot to learn."

AGU Fall Meeting 2013
Presented at American Geophysical Union, 9-13th of December,2013, San Francisco, California.
Authors: Patrick Murphy, Walter Oechel, Virginie Moreaux, Salvatore Losacco, Donatella Zona.
Carbon storage and exchange in Arctic ecosystems is the subject of intensive study focused on determining rates, controls, and mechanisms of CO2 and CH4 fluxes. The Arctic contains more than 1 Gt of Carbon in the upper meter of soil, both in the active layer and permafrost (Schuur et al., 2008; Tarnocai et al., 2009). However, the annual pattern and controls on the release of CH4 is inadequately understood in Arctic tundra ecosystems. Annual methane budgets are poorly understood, and very few studies measure fluxes through the freeze-up cycle during autumn months (Mastepanov et al., 2008; Mastepanov et al., 2010; Sturtevant et al., 2012). There is no known, relatively continuous, CH4 flux record for the Arctic. Clearly, the datasets that currently exist for budget calculations and model parameterization and verification are inadequate. This is likely due to the difficult nature of flux measurements in the Arctic.
In September 2012, we initiated a research project towards continuous methane flux measurements along a latitudinal transect in Northern Alaska. The eddy-covariance (EC) technique is challenging in such extreme weather conditions due to the effects of ice formation and precipitation on instrumentation, including gas analyzers and sonic anemometers. The challenge is greater in remote areas of the Arctic, when low power availability and limited communication can lead to delays in data retrieval or data loss. For these reasons, a combination of open- and closed-path gas analyzers, and several sonic anemometers (including one with heating), have been installed on EC towers to allow for cross-comparison and cross-referencing of calculated fluxes. Newer instruments for fast CH4 flux determination include: the Los Gatos Research Fast Greenhouse Gas Analyzer and the Li-Cor LI-7700. We also included the self-heated Metek Class-A uSonic-3 Anemometer as a new instrument. Previously existing instruments used for comparison include the Li-Cor LI-7500; Li-Cor LI-7200; Gill WindmasterPro; Gill R3; Campbell Scientific CSAT-3, and METEK USA-1. To prevent gaps in data due to poor weather, we developed a temperature control system to allow de-icing of the sonic instrument based on data quality. Enclosures were also created to support equipment that was not designed for outdoor use. A similar temperature control system was implemented to maintain stable conditions in the enclosures.
Five existing EC towers on the north slope of Alaska, in Barrow, Atqasuk, and Ivotuk, are used to obtain CH4 and CO2 fluxes, and allow a comparison of fluxes across sensor type and design. Here we present the instrument set-up and some of the preliminary eddy covariance CH4 and CO2 flux data, which might prove very useful as guidelines for further flux measurements in northern high latitudes.]]>

Three decades of research on fire, climate change, and elevated atmospheric CO2 in the chaparral, a Mediterranean-type climate ecosystem, at San Diego State University's Sky Oaks Biological Field Station, has provided information and insights that are useful to understanding controls on Mediterranean-type ecosystem functioning of southern California under current, and likely future, conditions.
Results from atmospheric carbon dioxide manipulations show that long-term stimulation of NEE, carbon sequestration, leaf area, fuel accumulation, and VOC production occur and that ecosystem composition, species reproduction, soil microbial composition, and plant-animal interactions, are affected by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Suggested is the fact that at least these water stressed ecosystems see increased water use efficiency and increased NPP over the long-term from elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide. More than a decade of measurement of net ecosystem exchange by eddy covariance demonstrates the long-term pattern of carbon exchange with stand age, and the short term impacts of variation in climate, especially precipitation, on stand water use and NEE. Annual variability in rainfall has profound affects on NEE, the impact of variation in annual rainfall on NEE lasts more than one year. The functioning of this ecosystem adjusts more quickly than does the composition of the ecosystem. Similarly, the sink strength of NEE following fire recovers more quickly than does community composition and percent above ground cover. The combined impacts of anticipated changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide and climate suggests changes in species composition and NPP. Fire intensity and/or frequency are anticipated to increase due to increases in weather conditions conducive to fire and increases in fuel accumulation due to higher atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
These data show that old chaparral stands can be significant sinks for atmospheric CO2. And that managing for old growth chaparral can increase carbon sequestration while increasing biodiversity and habitat diversity.]]>

Abstract: Partial pressure of CO2 in equilibrium with sample water (pCO2) for the coastal water in the Chukchi Sea was continuously observed in summer, 2008. Average daily CO2 flux calculated from the pCO2 and gas transfer coefficients ranged from -0.144 to -0.0701 g C m-2 day-1 depending on which gas transfer coefficient was used. The pCO2 before the landfast ice sheets melted appeared to be highly biologically controlled based on the following information: (1) the diurnal pattern of pCO2 was strongly correlated with Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD); (2) high chlorophyll density was observed during periods of peak uptake; and (3) the day-to-day variation in the pCO2 strongly correlated with the presence or absence of near-shore ice sheets. The lowest pCO2 of 35 ppm together with the highest PPFD of 1362 mu mol E m(-2) s(-1) observed in the afternoon on June 28 in the presence of sea ice. The very low pCO2 observed in late June was likely caused by high photosynthetic rates related to high phytoplankton densities typically observed from spring to early summer near the ice edge, and by water low in salinity and CO2 released by melting sea ice early in the season.]]>

It is critical to continually assess the rate of carbon flux from the Arctic landscape, and study how the thawing and rising ground temperature over the region affect the atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and CH4. Long-term measurements are especially critical as Arctic terrestrial ecosystems are changing dramatically in response to persistent and accelerating regional warming trends. Dramatic changes in Arctic hydrology have become evident in recent years. Changes in hydrology including soil water content, lake formation, and lake loss have profound effects on CO2 and CH4 fluxes.
Global Change Research Group (GCRG) at San Diego State University (SDSU) has maintained eddy covariance flux towers at three sites in Arctic Alaska: Barrow, Atqasuk, and Ivotuk. The three sites form a 300 km N-S transect on the North Slope of Alaska, each site representing distinct vegetation communities common to the Arctic. Prior flux measurements at the three SDSU-GCRG flux tower sites have generated important discoveries about the role of the Arctic regions to global climate change. Data from SDSU-GCRG flux towers in the Arctic support high-impact research by scientists at SDSU and a wide array of research institution, as evidenced by journal publications.
The importance of these tower measurements cannot be understated: these towers create a long-term record of one of the largest, most volatile carbon stocks on the planet. These towers measure net fluxes of CO2, CH4, H2O vapor, sensible heat, latent heat, and momentum in addition to standard meteorological and environmental variables (MET data), and all data are made available in the public domain through direct access via selected online databases, including the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center website, the AmeriFlux website, the GCRG website, and others.
Data collected by the project are being used to determine the seasonal and inter-annual patterns of CO2 and methane flux, and their relationship to changes in environmental factors. The data are also being used to identify important differences in carbon flux at different Arctic landscape types. Project results have the potential to contribute to the refinement global carbon flux models. The information on spatial, annual, and inter-annual variation in sensible and latent heat flux and CO2 and CH4 fluxes is critical to better inform ecosystem and land surface models and to improve and make more realistic their operation under current and likely future conditions.
This project is funded by a generous grant from the US Dept of Energy.

You will agree with me when I say that shopping, as much as one looks at the price first, the brand is also important. This means that sometimes, one ends up buying something based on the brand rather than the price tag on the item. If you are looking to buy a new laptop either for your studies, personal cell phone spy elite use of for business purposes but aren't sure which brand to buy, take your time and make a proper assessment. The following laptop brands have made it to the list through evaluation based on their design, reviews, tech support, warranty, software and innovation analysis.
Year after year, Apple continues to amaze their customers with new laptop brands. If you own any of Apple's products and a laptop to be precise, know that you posses an efficient and top notch electronic machine. It comes with powerful software and the fact that you can mail or return a default product to their main stores gives you the assurance that you can always count on them.Just recently, Apple released a new MacBook laptop design that has been modified into a slim portable machine measuring 12 inches making it easy to carry around. The cheapest Apple laptop you can get will cost you $800.
If you are looking for quality yet affordable, Dell is the machine to go for. Dell Laptops range from 2 in 1s to gaming laptops all the way to quality business systems. In short there is a wide range of products that suit everyone's needs at pocket friendly prices. When it comes to tech service, you don't have to worry about returning a product with default. Dell will pay the shipping cost no matter the prize of the product. Their customer support team can easily be reached via email, their ever ready diagnostic tool or through live chat. As for the software, Dell laptop brands gives you 20GB free space in your DropBox which you'll admit is way higher than what you'd get before you start paying for the service. It also has a backup and recovery system that ensures you don't lose any important document. Prices range between $180- $2500 for a Dell laptop.
Asus is one of the companies that have been trying to catch up with the 'big guys' by embracing new technologies like Nvidia sync and Core M. They have quite a range if impressive, quality laptop designs in the market right now. Asus products are very affordable compared to other brands. Some of the materials used are plastic but you can't tell just by staring at it. They all look like premium products. They may be cheap but the quality is out of this world. Most Asus laptops typically come with software such as Candy Crash Saga, Netflix, Line and Netflix. As for the prices, you can own an Asus Laptop with less $200 to $2500 for brands like G751JY Asus laptops.
Lenovo closes our list of best laptop brands you can invest in, in 2016. If there is something Lenovo laptops boast in it's their light weight features and the ability to fold when using them. In fact, Lenovo released one of the lightest laptops in the market called the G50-45. Some of the software that you will get in some of Lenovo laptops are Shareit and Reachit which make file transfer easy. When shopping for Lenovo laptops on their main site you can get one with all your desired specs from screen display, storage and RAM.
Shopping for a laptop can be hard when you are not sure what to look for but with this least, you'll be able to narrow down your options.

Terry Collins liked the chances of Willie Harris (right) succeeding against Jair Jurrjens (center) better than the chances of Jason Bay (left).
Jason Bay summed up sitting the series opener in Atlanta by saying he does not exactly have a leg to stand on.
Bay had been left out of the lineup Thursday in Milwaukee and Friday in Pittsburgh, ostensibly to work on his swing in the cage and regroup. But after three days back in the lineup -- during which he went 2-for-10 with a walk, RBI and five strikeouts -- Bay is again out, with Willie Harris starting in left field.
"I'm a realist. I'm not playing that well," Bay said. "That's just the reality of it. Had I been out there hitting .500, I think I'd have a little more reason to have a little more say. It's the way it is."
Said Terry Collins: "I'm sure he's annoyed. He's a pro. This guy is a great player. And I'm sure he's frustrated with having to have a conversation with me about, 'Hey, look, I've got to get Willie a game tonight.'"
Collins portrayed the decision as little more than an attempt to load the lineup with left-handed hitters against Jair Jurrjens, who has the top ERA in the majors at 1.82. Lefty batters are hitting .258 this season against Jurrjens, with righty batters hitting .213. Harris happens to be 7-for-14.
The manager said the alternative was to use Harris at third base and Daniel Murphy at first base, but that would require sitting Lucas Duda for a third straight day, which he was not inclined to do. Collins said he was trying to keep Duda sharp, especially with interleague play coming up, to guard against what happened when Fernando Martinez wilted on the bench and then was not sharp to DH at Yankee Stadium.
"With Jurrjens, it's just a little bit different case," Collins said. "I mean, this guy can really dominate you. The only success that I've seen against this guy was with some left-handed hitters. So I just said, 'You know what? I'm going to run my left-hand hitters in there tonight.'"
Still, Collins said about Wednesday's lineup: "I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring. I really don't."
Bay is hitting .207 with two homers and 11 RBIs in 150 at-bats this season. Bay called watching the series opener in Atlanta "the reality of where we're at."
Asked if he read into sitting again that a shift had taken place in Collins' thinking about how he might be used going forward, Bay responded: "I just work here."
That was not exactly popping off, which Bay recalled doing once in his career, out of frustration with the direction in Pittsburgh.
He said at a FanFest before 2008 spring training: "I think that, for a championship-quality team, you need to make more moves. And I'm not talking about the .500 team we can be. I don't think anyone in this room is going to tell you we're a championship-quality team."
Recalled Bay: "Yeah, that was a bad idea. That was clearly not my intent. All I said was it's year in, year out of the same stuff. I just said we have a couple of new managers and coaches, but the same players. And apparently that was popping off. I had a meeting with the owner and the president the next day -- not to reprimand me, just to make sure I didn't believe it. 'Hey, we're going in this direction.' They basically wanted to squash it because they didn't want other guys thinking it was OK."
Bay lightheartedly recalled about the meeting, which included team president Frank Coonelly: "Honestly, he chews on staples. That's the truth.
"And then I was traded that year," Bay said, "which was happening anyway."

OSHA News Release – Region 1
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 1 News Release: 05-2286-BOS/BOS 2005-342
Thursday, December 8, 2005
Contact: Ted Fitzgerald
Phone: (617) 565-2074
METHUEN, Mass. -- The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited Unicco Service Company for alleged willful and repeat violations of safety standards following a June 8 accident at the New England Executive Park in Burlington, Mass., that killed one worker and severely injured another. The facilities management and personnel firm faces a total of $152,500 in proposed fines.
The accident occurred during window cleaning of a four-story building. One employee was on the roof, tending a rolling outrigger suspension support unit from which a second employee was lowered to clean the windows, when the unit rolled off the roof. Both employees fell about 50 feet to the ground below and the window cleaner was also struck by the falling unit. The tender was killed; the window cleaner sustained severe injuries.
OSHA's investigation found that the outrigger unit was not tied back to a rooftop anchorage point, was not equipped with sufficient counterweight and had improperly installed wheels. The employee tending the unit had no experience and little or no training in setting, rigging and using the unit. In addition, both employees' lifelines were tied off to the fallen unit rather than to independent anchorage points on the roof. Tying off to an independent anchorage would have halted their fall. Finally, components of safety harnesses and a lanyard used by the workers were defective.
"This company is well aware of the requirements to protect window cleaners contained in industry standards, manufacturer instructions and its own safety program, yet chose to ignore them," said Francis Pagliuca, OSHA's area director for Middlesex and Essex counties. "They were cited for similar hazards following a double fatality in 2003."
On May 15, 2003, two Unicco window cleaners were killed in a fall at a worksite at 2 Center Plaza in Boston. As a result of that accident, OSHA fined the company $23,500. For the June 2005 accident, OSHA issued two willful citations, with $140,000 in fines, for the improperly rigged and anchored outrigger suspension support unit and lifelines. A repeat citation, with a $12,500 fine, was issued for the defects in the safety harnesses and lanyard.
OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations. A repeat citation is issued when an employer has previously been cited for a substantially similar hazard and that earlier citation has become final.
Unicco has 15 business days from receipt of the citations to request and participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director or to contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. The investigation was conducted by OSHA's Methuen area office, telephone (617) 565-8110.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.

Learn essential knitting techniques no knitter should be without. Join knitwear designer and author Sally Melville and find out how to create perfect gauge swatches for work that fits flawlessly. Select and knit the best cast-ons and bind-offs for any project. Create invisible or eye-catching seams with different selvage stitches. Get the most professional look with the right increases and decreases for any stitch pattern. Seam row-to-row, stitch-to-stitch and stitch-to-row for a beautiful finish. Master picking up and knitting to work wonders along row edges, V-neck pullovers and around curves. Choose and use smart techniques for the best results in any knitting situation.
Meet your instructor, designer and author Sally Melville, and learn more about the essential techniques covered in your class. You can watch the lessons in order or skip to the ones that interest you most. Use this class as a reference whenever you want to learn or review any technique!
Even if you hate math, a few simple calculations will help you achieve the correct gauge -- and garment projects that actually fit. Sally shares tips on knitting a gauge swatch and what to consider when you want to use a yarn different from what the pattern specifies. If the yarn you love isn't a perfect match, you can do a little math to modify the pattern. Sally shows you how!
There are myriad ways to cast on, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Sally covers the most common -- the long-tail cast-on -- and shows two ways to do it, but she also encourages you to explore alternatives such as the e-wrap, cable and crochet cast-ons, which may be more appropriate, and prettier, for your particular project.
The bound-off edge should complement your knitting, without being too tight, too loose, too knotty or sloppy. Learn how to do the typical chain bind-off with a few extra steps that will make it look great. Or try the sewn bind-off for a super-stretchy finish, such as on the cuff of a toe-up sock. The three-needle bind-off also has its place, as Sally explains.
The selvage of your knitting can be decorative -- as the finished edge of a piece -- or functional -- the point where you will add a seam. Sally shows how slipped stitch, garter stitch and stockinette selvages look in your work and discusses factors you should consider when choosing one over the other, regardless of what a pattern specifies.
Knitting into the front and back of a stitch is the easiest way to make an increase, but it's not always the prettiest. See how make-one and lifted increases might be a better choice for your project. Sally also shows how to use increases to make knitted bobbles that don't droop.
Sally walks you through the leaning tower of decreases, with a handy trick for remembering which ones lean left and which lean right and where to use them. Need a centered double decrease? Sally shows you how to make it!
Seaming is not as hard as it seems, if you follow Sally's guidance. She'll walk you through row-to-row, stitch-to-stitch and stitch-to-row seams for a beautiful finish.
You'll gain confidence in picking up and knitting stitches when you can see just how to do it with a close-up view. Sally demonstrates how to pick up and knit along a row edge and along a curve such as an armhole or neckline. No more fumbling and guesswork with Sally's techniques in your toolkit.
Praise for Sally Melville's Intarsia: Basics & Beyond:
"Sally is ... a great teacher. She makes everything clear, and you can see what she's doing as she demonstrates. She has a gentle and engaging personality that makes her enjoyable to watch. She is a responsive teacher, too, which is not always the case in this type of format. She makes you feel she is there with you."

Producer prices edge upward in June
July 12, 2002
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods edged up 0.1 percent in June. This slight increase followed decreases of 0.4 percent in May and 0.2 percent in April.
At the earlier stages of processing, the intermediate goods index moved up 0.2 percent, following a 0.5-percent decline in May. Prices for crude goods turned down 3.6 percent in June, after increasing 1.7 percent in the previous month.
Among finished goods, prices for finished goods other than foods and energy rose 0.2 percent in June, after showing no change in the prior month. The finished consumer foods index increased 0.1 percent, following a 0.2-percent decline in May. The index for finished energy goods showed no change, compared with a 2.3-percent decline in the previous month.
During the first 6 months of 2002, the finished goods price index advanced at a 1.5-percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR), after falling at a 5.4-percent rate in the latter half of 2001.
From June 2001 to June 2002, prices for finished goods declined 2.1 percent.
These data are a product of the BLS Producer Price Index program. Find out more in the "Producer Price Indexes, June 2002" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 02-388.

Bearpowers 4 years ago#111
8.5 inside Japan.
I only play JRPGs and story centric action games, I'd be fine if we just had more confirmed localizatons, I'm not expecting them to rush out all these titles, but all this silence is pissing me off.

I would give it a solid 9.5
Of course you would. How are those blinders?
A great handheld with great support from both 3rd party and 1st party developers. No complaint so far,
There still isn't much of crap for two whole years, and most everything you guys nerd-gasm over will hit around the middle of next year at best. Still no Zelda, main stream Pokemon, and FRESH Mario to be had as well.
except for the fact that most games from Japan don't come overseas.
Yet you give it such a ridiculously high score. NoA alone makes the 3DS worth a perfect -64.
Aw, look. He couldn't resist starting up his good old trolling decree with this unnecessary Nintenyearold fanboy line.
My swagger will explode you.

Kid Icarus Uprising was awesome
Theatrhythm : Final Fantasy...Awesome
Code of Princess? Never trust a cover with boobs. . . . . .
Super Mario 3d land? Ehh
Zelda OoT 3d? My first time playing this ...EVER, but not everybody shares my enthusiasm so.....
Still waiting for an actual final fantasy game...
Haters gonna hate......
I think the reason I like the 3DS is that i'm not getting disappointed waiting for games I truly want, and instead, i'm enjoying what i'm getting. That is not the best thing for consumers to do, but i'm tired of whining and complaining, and I just want to enjoy playing games, even the so-called "crappy" ones. I gave up on RPGs a while ago, so the lack of them is not a problem for me. And I still enjoy Mario games, and there's two main games for that (which, despite being meh on innovation, are pretty darn fun to me). It's not all doom and gloom for me.
evilvergil 4 years ago#115
IMO it deserves 5-6/10 at best.The lack of games is really hurting it right now.Plus Nintendo and other third-parties pretty much dragging their feet along when it comes to localizations isnt helping either.And honestly Animal crossing,Luigi's mansion,Fire emblem,and Monster hunter alone arent going to move any huge numbers.Hopefully those games arent the only 3ds games set for 2013, i know there will be more though like EO4, along with the rumored Soul Hackers,All the bravest(Bravely default),and RF4.
5/10. Most of the games I want are only in Japan right now with no news of localization. I owned my Vita less than my 3DS and I have more games for my Vita than 3DS. And we all know that the Vita is struggling big time. Ninty really needs to release more games in the US.
PSN ID: Mustq
Can't believe I spelled my own name wrong. :(
The system had a tremendous November and December 2011 with SM3DL and MK7, then a solid winter with Colors 3D, Resident Evil, Kid Icarus (or was that spring?). But there were a lot of disappointments and dry spells this year. Paper Mario was good, but a disapointment. Kingdom Hearts was good, but a disapointment. NSMB2 was good, but a disappointment. I'm pretty sure the only 3DS exclusive which has received "great" reviews has been Layton this fall.
Summer, fall, and (2012) winter needed games. Eshop was also relatively dry. It also needs facebook/twitter/foursquare/any freaking app support. The only reason it passes is because of the XL, which literally addressed every issue I had with the hardware.
PS3/Vita ID: Nnamz <-- Please message before add. Otherwise will not accept.
3DS Friend Code: 4527 - 7250 - 9769 <-- Inbox me your FC.
I'd say 7.5/10. It would be higher, but needs more first party games.
Your lifespan was short, yet you got us the best of our PC gaming needs.

I mean on the scale of 1 - 10
I agree with you for a rating of 9.5. I got my 3DS this past in May and already have 14 games. I have bought far more games for it than all my other systems combined. I am pleased with the quality of games that are out there. I can't wait to play Castlevania. I wish there were more games from Japan that were arriving in the U.S. especially Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright.

Those titles alone make the system great and if that were to be all that is to come out at this point, I'd be satisfied.
Notice how there's no Mario? That's because the 3DS is showing the reemergence of the classic gamer.

A new poll shows that Americans are increasingly pessimistic about the economy and are losing confidence in President Obama's ability to handle economic problems.
The new Associated Press-GfK survey found that 86 percent of adults see the economy as "poor," up from 80 percent in June.
About half - 49 percent - said it worsened just in the past month. Only 27 percent responded that way in the same June survey.
However, most adults surveyed still put more of the blame on former President George W. Bush for the bad economy.
"I think Bush had a hand in it, too. Obama's not totally responsible," said Mary Parish, 68, in Troy, Tenn.
Parish is independent who voted for Republican John McCain in 2008. She said she doesn't believe Obama has what it takes to heal the economy.
"He's a smooth-talking man. But he does not know what he's doing," Parish added.
For the first time for Obama in the poll, a majority of all adults said they disapprove of his overall performance - 52 percent, up from 47 percent in June.
Among Democrats, approval fell to 74 percent, down from 82 percent in June. Among Republicans, it dropped to 11 percent, down from 22 percent.
The AP-GfK poll was conducted Aug. 18-22 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,000 adults nationwide and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

O.C. advisor to ultra-wealthy sells firm to ensure continuityDecember 23rd, 2008, 12:00 pm by John Gittelsohn
Cymric Family Office Services, a Costa Mesa firm that manages financial affairs for ultra-high net worth families, has been sold to GenSpring Family Offices, a wealth-management firm with $17 billion under advisement.
Pat Soldano, who founded Cymric in 1987, said last week she decided to sell her 12-member firm because she wants to assure clients that she has a succession plan in place.
"I'm turning 60 next year," she said. "That contributed to my decision to make sure there's always someone alive and viable."
Soldano said she chose to sell to GenSpring because it has a staff of accountants, financial advisers and technical experts to handle the needs of her investors. Terms of the sale were not disclosed. Soldano will remain with GenSpring for five years under the agreement.Read the rest of this entry »

L.A. Cop Allegedly Choked Wife Till She Passed Out, Tied Her Up
A Los Angeles Police Department officer was behind bars overnight after authorities alleged he tried to kill his estranged wife.
More specifically, the L.A. County District Attorney's office claims that Jose Robert Figueroa threatened to kill his wife, choked her until she passed out, and tied her up.
It all allegedly happened ...
... Sunday at the victim's apartment in Inglewood, prosecutors said.

Figueroa was arrested at 1:45 a.m. Monday by Inglewood police, according to L.A. County Sheriff's Department inmate records.
According to a D.A.'s statement yesterday he has been charged on suspicion of "attempted murder, injuring a spouse with the added allegation that he inflicted great bodily injury and making criminal threats."
The officer was scheduled to appear in court at 8:30 this morning for bail review. Figueroa's bail was set at $2.5 million, which might make it hard for even an officer to get out of jail.
Figueroa's arraignment was scheduled for June 4, D.A.'s officials said. If prosecutors are successful in their case against him, the cop could end up behind bars for life, they said.
The alleged crimes were being investigated by the Inglewood Police Department.
An LAPD spokesman told us that the case would have to run its course before any potential personnel moves could be considered. Figueroa will be placed on paid leave until that, he said.

U/S in just a few minutes...
Mine is on Wednesday, I am also nervous as I had a blighted ovum in January. I found out at the first u/s; it was devastating. Feeling very nervous and cautiously optimistic and excited all at the same time. Good luck everyone and congrats on your good news (Caleb'sontheway)
by my lmp, I'm 5w6d, by us today, gestational sac is 5w1d??
Go back next week to hopefully see fetal pole-didn't get to today :( Dr. doesn't seem too concerned as it was too early to detect, but we shall see. My main concern was that it wasn't in my one and only tube, which it was not, so that's a huge relief. Won't be able to breathe for a week...just love this stage :/
Stephanie, what awesome news and how Ispecial for your DH!!
Michelle, FX that you get to give your IL's wonderful news in person!!
Seeshells! Yay on it not being in your tube!! FX next week's scan shows the next part of it!!
So excited for all the U/S!

Proud step-mom to K22 & and D19
Our family made complete on 13 Feb 13 with arrival of Hank
Stephanie, congratulations - it sounds like a keeper!!!
Seeshells, try not to worry too much. You can't really count on dating accuracy by LMP this early unless you ovulated spot on CD 14 - and even then, there could easily be a variance of few days plus or minus with everything being perfectly normal. What they expect to see is based on the assumption of ovulation on CD 14 of a 28 day cycle. Do you know when ovulation day was?
My daughter is a perfect example of this. She'll have her 1st US on 7/5. She didn't ovulate until CD 23 or 24 (CBFM peak day 1 and 2 ) because she has 37 day cycles. If using LMP (5/12), they're going to expect the baby to measure 7 weeks/6 days when in reality, it's only going to look like it's about 6 weeks/ 3 days because she ovulated 9-10 days later than the "norm".
Here for my DAUGHTER age 41. After 5 consecutive m/c's GRANDBABY HAS ARRIVED healthy at 37w6d! Born 8/6/14 by c-section. 6 lbs 9 oz and 19 3/4 in.
YAY!!! Congrats to you!!!

I saw Sinister the other day with some friends at like 2 AM. It wasn't the best, but it... Well I don't want to spoil it, let me seal this off.
Spoiler:- Sinister spoilers:
I really liked how it had the atypical, NOT happily ever after ending. It's really hard to find a movie where things don't go as planned, and I think playing on that idea makes for some good shocks.
Anyways, saw the trailer for Purge the other day... Looks flippin' amazing, anyone else looking to see that one?

I have used Thule for years and can't say enough about the quality. The Raceway rack fits on my Accord perfect and I also have a rear spoiler and thee are no issues.

Pending a trade call.
CAR trading Jussi Jokinen to PIT for a conditional pick. Trade call pending. CAR is taking back some money in deal. #tradecentre
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) April 3, 2013
Via Seth at Empty Netters, Jokinen has won 168 out of 283 faceoffs (59.4 %) this season.
He has 6 goals and 5 assists in 33 games this season. He's currently signed for next season at $3 million, but apparently Carolina will be paying some of that.
EDIT: The trade is for a conditional sixth- or seventh-round pick.
EDIT 2: More info from Bob McKenzie: "If Jokinen plays 50 per cent of PIT 2013 playoff games AND PIT wins the CUP, CAR gets a 6th round pick from PIT… If Jokinen plays 25 per cent of PIT 2013 playoff games AND PIT goes to Cup final, CAR gets 7th round pick from PIT."
So…. if neither of those conditions are met, he was free?

To Henry's right, his head coach, Darrell Hazell, tried to explain how his Purdue debut ended in a miserable 42-7 loss to Cincinnati. It all seemed to be eating away at the fifth-year senior quarterback.
When Hazell was asked if he considered benching Henry, who finished the game 18 of 35 for just 161 yards and two interceptions, the head coach answered, "No, not at all." Still, Henry hung his head.
It was a game built up with great anticipation. For Hazell, it was his introduction as the Boilermakers' head coach. For Henry, it was his first game as Purdue's starting quarterback since 2010, his second year on campus. Henry had overcome injuries and earned the right to lead the offense.
It couldn't have gone any worse.
Henry was wild and sloppy. His throws were consistently off the mark. He struggled to receive the snaps. Twice on fourth-down attempts, his throw ended up in the stands. The entire offense faltered, but the blame game starts with the quarterback. Where was Henry's disgust after the drubbing?
"Mainly myself," said Henry after the game.
Somewhere along the three-hour bus ride back to West Lafayette, Henry continued to shoulder the blame—this time making it a bit more public. He tweeted that his performance was "unacceptable" and offered an apology to his fans, friends, family, and just about everybody else imaginable, then he quit Twitter.
But nobody is harder on Rob Henry than Rob Henry. After his dismal showing Saturday's shellacking, he made that clear. This is a young, rebuilding Boilermaker team. The fifth-year senior is on the field to bring experience and poise to his teammates.
Speaking to the media, Henry admitted that wasn't easy to do.
"It was frustrating," Henry said. "Trying to stay positive and trying to stay poised was difficult, especially when you make some of the throws that I did today."
Henry's play was weak, but his leadership was lacking—an even greater reason for the Boilermakers' demise in their opener. It was clear that Henry lost his focus. Never has he made miscues like on Saturday. The calm, collected quarterback brings a trusty arm and reliable feet.
On Saturday, everything snowballed.
This season will be a struggle for the Boilermakers as they work to build for the future. There will be highs, but many more lows. It's up to Henry to keep his team poised. First, he must keep himself composed.
Any outward frustration from the veteran quarterback will take the team down. It's his job to be a leader, someone his younger teammates can count on.
For Rob Henry, there's no time to dwell on Saturday. It's time to move forward. Purdue needs more from its quarterback.

The appearance and spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)
on a global level raised vital legal and ethical issues. National and international
responses to SARS have profound implications for 3 important ethical values:
privacy, liberty, and the duty to protect the public's health. This article
examines, through legal and ethical lenses, various methods that countries
used in reaction to the SARS outbreak: surveillance and contact tracing, isolation
and quarantine, and travel restrictions. These responses, at least in some
combination, succeeded in bringing the outbreak to an end. The article articulates
a set of legal and ethical recommendations for responding to infectious disease
threats, seeking to reconcile the tension between the public's health and
individual rights to privacy, liberty, and freedom of movement. The ethical
values that inform the recommendations include the precautionary principle,
the least restrictive/intrusive alternative, justice, and transparency. Development
of a set of legal and ethical recommendations becomes even more essential
when, as was true with SARS and will undoubtedly be the case with future epidemics,
scientific uncertainty is pervasive and urgent public health action is required.

Ann-Margret talks about her relationship with Elvis Presley (07:42)
Ann-Margret was born Ann-Margret Olsson in Valsjöbyn, Jämtland, Sweden to Anna Aronsson and Gustav Olsson, a native of Örnsköldsvik. She grew up in a small town 'of lumberjacks and farmers high up near the Arctic Circle'. Her father worked in the United States during his youth and immigrated back in 1942, working with the Johnson Electrical Company. Ann-Margret and her mother moved to the USA four years later. When she filmed Viva Las Vegas with Elvis the two began a relationship.

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever.
This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.
The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.

Video Game Companies Cash In on Tax Tokens
Posted on Sep 11, 2011
American video game developers are benefiting from an odd combination of tax breaks many analysts say are intended to encourage industries that serve the public good by providing broadly valuable social services. An odd combination of industry characteristics allows gaming businesses to claim a variety of tax incentives that companies in other fields cannot.
At sales of $15 billion a year, the video game industry is now one of the most highly subsidized in the country, according to a former Treasury Department official. —ARK
