Clarkston EPIC and the high school are in the process of starting a youth coalition, which will be a group of teens hanging out and brain-storming fun activities they can do while staying above the influence.
Clarkston firefighter Melissa Welter is a big supporter of Epic. She said this is about upper classmen helping their younger peers make positive life choices.
"We want them to be their authentic self and be above the influence and we'll do everything we can to assist the youth in that process," said Welter. "You'll be hearing more about the youth coalition once they set up their name and their whole media campaign. They'll be alive and well in Clarkston High School."
Welter said they've had 52 applicants sign up so far and they're excited to get this program going. Epic leaders will meet with youth for the first time next Tuesday.

In Brief: Pennsylvania unemployment rate holds at 5.6 percent
Pennsylvania's unemployment rate remained at 5.6 percent in June, the lowest rate since September 2008. The commonwealth's rate was five-tenths of a percentage point below the U.S. rate of 6.1 percent, which was down two-tenths of a point from May. The state rate was down 1.9 percentage points from June 2013.
Pennsylvania's civilian labor force -- the number of people working or looking for work -- was down 28,000 in June to 6,403,000 due to declines in both employment and unemployment. Resident employment, down 22,000, was down for the second month while unemployment declined for the 11th straight month.
Total nonfarm jobs increased by 1,800 in June to 5,789,700, the highest level since September 2008. The majority of the gain was within the private sector, which added 5,600 jobs to a record high of 5,079,400.
It is the end of the line for Erie Business Center, which has operated for more than 130 years. The postsecondary school announced it will close its Erie and New Castle campuses on Dec. 31. Classes will continue through December. There are 164 students enrolled at the Erie campus and 78 in New Castle. The school is talking with the Fortis Institute in Erie and the Laurel Technical Institute in Sharon to help students who won't complete their studies by December to continue toward degrees.

Damien 'Super' Hooper looked like a pupil of the Ricky Hatton school of body punching as he crushed bitter rival in the seventh round of their fight at the Jupiter's Hotel & Casino in Broadbeach, Australia.
Hooper, a 2012 Olympian, has been watching tapes of his promoter's fights for some time and appears to have picked up a few pointers.
The first six rounds saw Hooper box smartly against an opponent who had attempted to get under his skin on social media.
However, in the seventh, Hooper upped his attacks and viciously ripped home hooks to Casey's torso. Two left hands to ribs forced Casey to seek the sanctuary of the canvas and although he managed to get back to his feet, the writing was on the wall.
With the three-knockdown rule in effect, Hooper was relentless and after Casey tasted the ring apron twice more, the fight was waved off by referee Adrian Cairns.
The win takes Hooper's record to 9-0 (8 KOs) and allowed him to add the vacant WBC EPBC light-heavyweight crown to his WBC Youth Silver title.
"It was a world class performance," enthused Hooper's trainer Gareth Williams. "He stuck to the plan of box and break him down and then opportunities came.
"One of the commentators [on Fox Sports] said it was the best performance he has seen in an Australian ring over the last two years.
"He was listening perfectly, his long punches were beautiful and when he went down to the body he dropped him three times in round and finished him.
"Kerry Hope was also in the corner as well as Irish Paddy Murphy and both said he is world class. We couldn't have asked for a better performance."
Hooper will return to action against as yet to be confirmed opponent on October 8.

TAMPA - Time and again Wednesday night, Villanova pushed the ball inside, and time and again the University of South Florida was overwhelmed.
When the final horn sounded, 'Nova big man Mouphtaou Yarou had collected 16 points and 14 rebounds, Daniel Ochefu had 12 points and eight rebounds, and the Wildcats had sealed a 61-53 win.
"You have to give it to ['Nova's] big men," South Florida coach Stan Heath said. "They were simply too strong and too powerful. In the beginning it was overwhelming. They really jumped on us early."

Jay Smith with Georgia Power stopped by the Flint River Chapter of Habitat for Humanity to deliver a $2500 check.
The funds will be used by Habitat officials to buy supplies needed to complete two handicap accessible homes in the Albany Area.
"We can normally take this check and stretch it to put in the heating and air conditioning system for at least one of the houses. So that will be a great benefit to helping defray overall costs of the house," said Ross Harrison, President of the Flint River Chapter of Habitat for Humanity.Habitat is receiving the funds after applying for a grant from Georgia Power.
For the past few weeks college students from across the U.S. have flocked to the area to help build the homes.
Habitat officials say by the time spring break season is over; the structures will be nearly finished.

LVN columnist Jeanette Strong started her literary New Year with yet another article of misinformation.
Firstly, she gives the HEART(Health equity and access reform today) credit for fore running the ACA even though the HEART of 1993 was proposed by a Republican, but not a Republican plan. The HEART was so unpopular that the bill was not even voted on. It was also vastly different in terms of funding and execution of the health insurance system. Using what the President of all "57 states" says as fact is a stance on shaking ground, at best.
Why does Strong call Laffer ignorant when he derides the post office? Does Strong know a different post office? An article one page before hers on the paper discusses the new postage rate increase. Three times that which the current inflation would deem necessary.
Triumphantly pointing at the one million people that have 'gotten health insurance due to the ACA, she conveniently overlooks three million who lost their coverage without getting a replacement. Health insurance is optional, many of the '40 million' who did not have insurance before the ACA did not even want insurance.
The Republican plan to replace the
ACA, which she ignores, is to return to the insurance system we had before the ACA- private companies. However, since no truthful praise can be found for Obamacare, it is logical that one must resort to name-calling, misrepresentation of facts, and lying.

An explosion occurs that releases 2500J of energy in 110ms,1.5% of which goes into a spherical sound wave traveling outequally in all directions from the explosion. A sound levelmeter records the average value of the acoustic wave as it passesthe meter whcich is 25m from the center of the explosion. What was the average dB level recorded by the meter? For simplicityyou may assume that the loss of acoustic power is negligible as thewave travels the distance from the explosion to the meter.
I'm redoing this problem because I didn't get full credit onit. I know that I have to use the formulas I=P/4πr^2 anddB=10*log(I/Io). The way I did it was I said thatP=.015*2500 but I guess this is wrong. My teacher marked that Pshould equal the change of energy over the change of x but im notsure how to get it. Any help would be greatlyappreciated.

Kimye: The honeymoon
They had their rehearsal dinner in Versailles, France, and staged their wedding in Florence, Italy.
Where are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West honeymooning?
The Emerald Isle, says ABC News! The land of Yeats, Joyce, and Synge. (Oh, and U2.)
Kim 'n' Kanye spent Tuesday biking along the trails of the Ballyhoura Mountains in the province of Munster. They picnicked with local artisans (though no fine artists?), chomping on smoked ham and old Irish creamery cheddar. And they reportedly gave their trail guide a four-figure tip.
Reports vary, but the couple were expected to stay in-country until Friday.

Wire reports
BEREA, Ohio — Cleveland Browns wide receiver Joe Jurevicius could miss significant time with a rib injury he sustained during the first quarter of Sunday's 19-14 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Jurevicius, who signed as a free agent with the Browns in March, left the field in pain in the first quarter after making a 20-yard reception on a fourth-down play nullified by a penalty.
Jurevicius did not return to the sideline and he was not available following the game.
Browns coach Romeo Crennel said Jurevicius was undergoing an MRI on Monday and the team was awaiting test results. Crennel said initial X-rays taken at Browns Stadium on Jurevicius were "OK."
"He has a rib area injury," Crennel said. "They (doctors) are evaluating the injury, but they haven't told me anything in particular. They said he might miss some time, but I don't know yet."
Crennel was aware of a newspaper report that Jurevicius has broken ribs and will miss four-to-six weeks.
After he got hurt, Jurevicius, who grew up in suburban Cleveland rooting for the Browns, was replaced by Joshua Cribbs, a former college quarterback at Kent State who made the club as an undrafted free agent last season.
Cribbs is the Browns' kickoff returner. He'll see more playing time if Jurevicius is out for an extended period.
CB Sheppard likely out against Giants
PHILADELPHIA — Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard, an All-Pro selection two years ago, probably won't play in Philadelphia's game against the New York Giants on Sunday because of a sprained ankle.
Sheppard injured his right ankle during the first series of the Eagles' 24-10 victory at Houston in the season opener. X-rays showed no broken bones and he had an MRI on Monday.
Sheppard missed the final six games last year with a severe high-ankle sprain on his opposite leg.
"We're going to take it week to week, but this week isn't looking good," coach Andy Reid said Monday. "It's not a high-ankle sprain. It's on the inside of his ankle and it's fairly significant."
Rod Hood, who started six games last season, replaced Sheppard. Reid indicated the Eagles probably will sign another cornerback this week. Two cornerbacks who played in Philadelphia last year — Dexter Wynn and Donald Strickland — were among the final roster cuts, so one of them could be brought back.
A first-round pick in 2002, Sheppard was a starter in the Pro Bowl after the 2004 season.
Sunday's injuries
Panthers middle linebacker Dan Morgan was lost to a concussion and Jaguars defensive end Reggie Hayward will miss the season with a torn Achilles' tendon in a series of key opening-game injuries Sunday.
Hayward tore his Achilles' tendon and was lost for the season. The Jags already were playing with both starting defensive tackles, Marcus Stroud and John Henderson, hobbling from previous injuries.
Both of last year's winners of the Comeback Player of the Year award were sidelined Sunday. Carolina Panthers All-Pro receiver Steve Smith was inactive in a loss to Atlanta with a right hamstring problem. Smith, who has been plagued by injuries since the start of training camp, injured his hamstring in practice Tuesday and missed the next three days of workouts.
Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi, who broke his right wrist on the fourth day of training camp and didn't return to practice until Thursday, was inactive for the win over the Bills. Bruschi played in 10 games in 2005 despite an offseason stroke. But he missed all four exhibition games with the wrist injury.
The Panthers also lost Morgan to a concussion early in the second quarter. Adam Seward replaced Morgan, who has a history of concussions.
Atlanta defensive end Patrick Kerney left the game with a right triceps strain and left tackle Travelle Wharton had to be helped off the field late in the second quarter with a strained left knee.
Eagles CB Lito Sheppard injured his ankle in the first quarter of a win at Houston and did not return, however, X-rays were negative.
San Francisco guard Larry Allen sprained his right knee and is doubtful for next week. Allen, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection in 12 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, signed a two-year free agent contract with San Francisco in March. He was injured at Arizona when he wound up at the bottom of a pile of players in the fourth quarter.
San Francisco lost a second offensive lineman, tackle Jonas Jennings, with a right ankle injury in the final seconds of the first half.
Tennessee defensive tackle Robaire Smith hurt his hamstring when he jumped offside in the first quarter of a loss to the New York Jets.
Jets left guard Pete Kendall also hurt his hamstring.
Rams center Andy McCollum, who made his 156th consecutive start, sustained a serious left knee injury in the second quarter. Rams DT Jimmy Kennedy broke his right hand in the first quarter of a victory against Denver and played wearing a cast.
Bears safety Chris Harris left the win at Green Bay in the third quarter with an ankle injury in the third quarter.
Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh was inactive Sunday for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Houshmandzadeh, the Bengals' No. 2 receiver, bruised his heel in the second-to-last preseason game. He was replaced against Kansas City by Chris Henry.
Last year, Houshmandzadeh had 778 catches for 956 yards and seven touchdowns.

I agree with everyone that this is an important topic. I believe that the healthcare industry is still in its infancy with respect to how we give and receive feedback. But, at Cooley Dickinson, we are making solid steps toward creating a culture of safety that includes flattening the heirarchy so that all clinicians and other staff feel safe to point out potential safety issues. One step we've taken is to begin teaching the Team STEPPS Curriculum that was developed jointly by The Department of Defense, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the aviation industry. Team STEPPS teaches clinicians how to work together as a "team," to give and receive feedback, and to place safty of the patient above all. Another step we have taken is to put in place a very robust Incident Reporting and Root Cause Analysis program that is completely non-punitive in nature. As a reult, we have seen a quadrupling of reporting of errors and near misses which says that employees feel safe to report. This is vastly different from where we were even 5 years ago. And thirdly, several years ago we implemented a "Disruptive Behavior" policy designed to give staff and physicians a pathway for getting help when they feel they have been mistreated by another. The Disruptive Behavior policy and process is also fundementally non-punitive, designed to be a mechanism for coaching the offender. Going forward, we are remodling some aspects of our safety program. We are forming a Culture of Safety Steering Committee that is made up of leadership who will work with 10 frontline staff safety teams. This steering committee will help guide the teams and help to eliminate challenges the teams face in trying make improvements to both patient and employee safety. These are exciting times for changing the safety culture in healthcare. My new mantra is SAFETY TRUMPS HEIRARCHY! It's all about the patient.

Terrific topic Mark.
Over a decade ago, PricewaterhouseCoopers (the world's largest consulting, accounting and professional services firm)recognizing the need for impeccable trust among staff and with clients, instituted a mandatory, multi-session ethics training for 100% of its staff, from the most senior partner to the most junior clerk or assistant. A major focus was to enable those lower in the hierarchy to address real or imagined errors or lapses by those higher in the hierarchy. It turns out that this requires at least one of two things: First...and preferably...a culture of openness and collegiality where honest exchanges are encouraged. Second, and this can work even when the desired culture isn't yet in place, an issue resolution process that allows the subordinate to raise the issue, even if s/he is not able to so directly with the superior. Interestingly, the issue resolution process tends to contribute to the building of the desired culture.
Is such a process well established (and used) here?

This is such a fantastic article Dr. Novotny. The dialogue among the physicians, nurses, pharmacists, patients, that you mentioned in your article is an ideal thing to do, but unfortunately it does not happen as often as we would like it to happen, or sometimes we do not see it happening it all. I think the "culture" needs to be emphasized in the organization so every team member is aware of how important it is to involve everybody in the dialogue for patient safety and satisfaction. It would be awesome if everybody in the care team tries to work towards achieving this ideal situation. Thanks again for your thoughtful blog as always!

Ahhh. Over 200 views and not a single comment. A very delicate and personal subject, indeed. Dialogue about this issue should be more common, but it is hard to broach, especially in the "heat" of the momment. Unfortunately, nurses are not exempt, as the "behavior" can go from nurse towards physician as well. The opinion piece by Theresa Brown and this blog post are good reminders that we need to respect eachother's training (because it is different) and viewpoint when it comes to caring for patients. Professional communication is key to our relationship as pysicians and nurses, but also to teamwork and patient safety.

Virginians rally for those with mental disabilities
Amy Jones, 38, had a 4.0 GPA in school but dropped out after her insurance stopped covering the costs of her medication. She suffers from a mental health disorder and substance abuse.
"I ended up self-medicating, and I ended up here in Richmond at a facility center, which is helping save my life, because it's helping me to get back on track, get my medications again, so that I can be productive again," Jones said.
On Monday, she joined about 100 other people at the Bell Tower on Capitol Square for a rally organized by the Coalition for Virginians with Mental Disabilities. Participants encouraged legislators to improve services for people with mental disabilities.
For instance, Jones stays at Rubicon Inc., a substance abuse and mental health facility. But it may shut down for lack of funding. Jones said the best way to help people like her is not to put them in jail but to provide preventive facilities and help fund medication.
"Don't throw me in jail. Don't shut down things I need, like Rubicon. Don't cut off my medications. I stand here today just like a normal person, only due to the fact that I have medications," Jones said.
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli spoke at the rally. He said that when he was a senator from Fairfax, he pushed to expand services for Virginians with mental disabilities.
As a general rule, people must live in an institution to receive Medicaid funding; however, the state can grant waivers to provide assistance for disabled residents. But there is often a waiting list for mental retardation waivers and developmental disabilities waivers.
Cuccinelli said he has advocated granting more Medicaid waivers.
"What we need to do is have systems in place that reduce the likelihood of mental illness getting worse, so we are helping people and reduce the frequency of things like Sandy Hook and Virginia Tech," Cuccinelli said, referring two of the nation's worst mass shootings.
Tori Purdy's 13-year-old son has autism. She came to the rally to thank legislators for increasing the number of developmental disability waivers.
Because of the waiver, Purdy said, her son can live outside of an institution – and her family can live like any other.
Cuccinelli said he fears a backlash against people with mental disabilities because of shootings like the one last month in Connecticut.
"You get something like Sandy Hook, where you get an Adam Lanza, who's not well, and people sort of project Adam Lanza across all people suffering from mental illness," Cuccinelli said.
"That's just not an accurate projection. Most people suffering from mental illness are victims of aggression, of aggressive behavior and violence. They aren't committers of it."

Japandroids at the Bluebird Theater, 11/18/12 (photos, review)
There aren't many bands out there that can cover the Gun Club and avoid sounding trite or phony. Japandroids - with immense energy - does it well.
There aren't many bands out there that can cover the Gun Club and avoid sounding trite or phony. Japandroids - with immense energy - does it well.
The new Japandroids record, "Celebration Rock," is bookended with the sounds of fireworks -- apropos for a late June that sees a surfeit of Black Cat stands popping up in liquor store parking lot corners, the nation's birthday steadily approaching.
I remember the first time I saw Japandroids: The Canadian duo crushed a set at the now-defunct Siren Music Festival on Coney Island in 2009.
[insertReverbPhoto id="79933" photo="8"] Japandroids -- neither robots nor Japanese. Discuss. Photo by Joe McCabe. From the first time I saw the name of the duo, I envisioned Japandroids as something closer to the hulking, giant mechanoids from late '70s Japanimation than a couple of garage-born auteurs from British Columbia.
"The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us" would be a pretty on-the-nose title for many records, but it's especially literal for Beach Slang's full-length debut, a record that should top the list of those things we do.
L.A. duo Girlpool took over a packed room at Lost Lake Lounge Sunday night, enveloping a rapt audience with their quiet-but-intense chamber punk. Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker drew their audience into the sparse, poignant music on which they've built a solid DIY following and simultaneously exemplified the entire gist of the deeper indie/underground movement.
San Francisco's Dodos seem to have proven once and for all that in rock today, the number of band members means nothing. These two musicians played what could have been a sparse, minimalist 55 minutes at the Bluebird Theater on Monday - and that would've been just fine.
For our second day at Treasure Island Music Festival 2013 we caught sets from Deep Sea Diver, IO Echo, Palma Violets, Cayucas, Lord Huron, HAIM, STRFKR, Real Estate, James Blake, Japandroids, Animal Collective, Sleigh Bells and Beck.
If you're not down in Tennessee this weekend don't worry, you can still catch performances by some of the best acts at Bonnaroo 2013. On Friday you can catch the Bonnaroo live stream, which includes performances from the Lumineers, Nas, Lord Huron and many of the other top acts at the festival.
After 11 years, Sasquatch! Music Festival has gone from a humble one-day affair, to a four-day, multi-stage blowout at Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Wash. Now, the festival is expanding even more to include two weekends with two completely different lineups a month apart.

Microsoft (MSFT) has apparently been dreaming big lately. A day after the WSJ reported the software giant held M&A talks with Nokia, it reports Microsoft recently explored creating an e-commerce marketplace that would challenge eBay (EBAY) and Amazon (AMZN). A Microsoft spokeswoman admits the existence of an e-commerce initiative, codenamed Brazil, but adds the company has tabled its plans. Sources claim Microsoft was actually thinking of "subsidizing the price of goods" on its marketplace via ad dollars, presumably to deal with the chicken-and-egg problem any such service would have.

RAJU - I think why many people hate MSFT is because they have been poorly run. For a company that has been flush with cash and had such a strong market position they leveraged into almost nothing. Smartphones, search, music/tv, etc. They are second or third fiddle at best in these markets. They also failed to make use of their cash by making any quality strategic purchases. Everything they do is reactionary and the only thing outside of their core business that they've done really well with is XBox (and they could be on the verge of blowing that with all the negative press).
Wow. Microsoft makes billions of dollars in revenue. I don't think they have ever lost money. They are involved in our everyday lives in ways we can't see. But they are poorly run?
Don't get me wrong - they clearly make mistakes at times. But they are a damn fine company.
And yes, you can win the me too game by doing it better. Bing is not as good a search tool as Google - especially location-based searches. If they get better, they'll give Google a run for their money - and force everyone to get better. There is nothing that precludes MS from entering the online marketplace and making a success of it.
Sorry, but I'm 100% bullish on MSFT. Microsoft is the new APPL! Ballmer's strategy is awesome, everyone who's followed the company can see that they are on the move - this is going to a market cap beyond 300 quickly. Yes, there are risks but I see more upside
2) Lumia catching up in key markets like the US and EU
3) Office 365 brings in steady cash - I'm very fond of their new products myself and embraced both 8 and Office
4) Windows 8.1 will accelerate Win8 growth
5) 4 will boost tablet sales
6) MSFT opening stores in many locations => increased competition for APPL
7) MSFT actively trying to improve products and doing so in bold ways: Read here for a recap http://bit.ly/172M5Mw

text: Description Suggest an Edit This beautiful, pine-studded rail-trail winds through Cape Henlopen State Park next to wetlands and farmland, offering a break from the nearby beaches and eclectic shopping areas. The trail runs from Gills Neck Road in Lewes to the town of Rehoboth Beach and provides a perfect nature retreat. The trail is mostly crushed stone, except for the last 0.2 mile near Rehoboth, when it becomes asphalt. As it is well traveled by locals and tourists alike, be sure to remember your trail etiquette. You will be sharing the mostly flat route with bicyclists, walkers, runners, wheelchair users, and families with strollers and dogs. Pick up the trail at Wolfe Glade (off Wolfe Neck Road), a forested area of oak, hemlock, and pine. Turn left to head to Cape Henlopen High School on Kings Highway (US 9) in Lewes, or turn right to head toward Rehoboth Beach. As of 2015, you can also start at the new western endpoint on Gills Neck Road under Freeman Highway (US 9) near downtown Lewes. Along the way, the trail offers views of wetlands—especially at Holland Glade—via a refurbished 80-foot railroad bridge built in 1913. Continue farther and you'll find yourself flanked by cornfields and forests. Hawks and geese (both snow and Canada geese) can be spotted in the air, and deer, squirrels, and other small woodland animals share the trail. At the trail's southern end, Tanger Outlets provides bargain hunters an opportunity to break from the trail, shop the mall, and grab a bite to eat before heading back into the relative calm of the Junction & Breakwater Trail.

SAN DIEGO — A 2-0 Phillies victory was far from guaranteed Thursday night and Vance Worley couldn't see. He recorded the first two outs of the seventh inning but then walked Padres third baseman Chase Headley. That's when the white Oakley goggles started fogging up. The unusual cool air in this beautiful city combined with sweat pouring from his forehead created a maelstrom.
"Maybe I'll just wipe them off," Worley said. It didn't work. Orlando Hudson singled on the fourth pitch and runners were at the corners, threatening to derail one of the 24-year-old's finest outings.

text:
Gareth Porter: The Los Angeles Times ignored new information and simply repeated the charge that Iran "refused to allow IAEA inspectors to visit Parchin military base".
Jeremy Lin's America
Brent Budowsky: Notwithstanding the endless echo chamber of political insiders and slashing attacks that is called our public discourse, the wonderful story of Jeremy Lin tells us far more about America than partisan debates or talking heads.
Stories We Will Still Have to Write in 2012
Walter and Rosemary Brasch: We really want to be able to write columns about Americans who take care of each other, about leaders who concentrate upon fixing the social problems. But we know that's only an ethereal ideal.
Top 10 Stories of 2011
The ten most read articles by LA Progressive's readers in 2011 reflect both the breadth of our coverage and also several special focuses.
The Sanctimonious Scavengers of the Penn State Scandal
Walter Brasch: Based upon the amount of newsprint and air time given to this story, you would swear that Paterno was guilty, arrested, and probably already convicted. The media almost forgot about Sandusky as they began piling on to Paterno.
The Fukushima Story You Didn't Hear on CNN
Greg Palast: The warning was in what the investigations team called The Notebook, which I'm not supposed to have. Good thing I've kept a copy anyway, because the file cabinets went down with my office building
Racism and the Norweigian Madman
Jessie Daniels: Racism seems to be implicated in this story in two, very telling, ways: Breivik's views and the initial news reports about the terror strikes.
We Get the Media We Want
Tina Dupuy: Especially in America where the vast majority of our media is profit and ratings driven – the media is programmed by us to give us what we want. Whether we like to admit it's what we want or not (think stories about whoever is filling the role of a Kardashian or a Bieber).
Defying Racial Stereotypes
David Love: Given the paucity of positive images of Arabs out there, no single film can be all things to all people. And no film by itself can articulate the full breadth of the occupation or the Mideast conflict. But this is a good start.
Our Predictions for 2011
Randy Shaw: The biggest story will be President Obama's "new" relationship with Congressional Republicans; as if the president had not reached out to obstructionist Republicans from the start. We will be deluged with stories describing the "idealism and vision" of newly seated House Republicans, despite their allegiance to large corporations and goal of restoring failed Hoover-era policies.
The Big Economic Story; Why Obama Isn't Telling It
Robert Reich: In reality, the lousy economy is due to insufficient demand – the result of the nation's almost unprecedented concentration of income at the top.
Why Pat Tillman's Death Matters
Dick Price: Amir Bar-Lev's powerful documentary, "The Tillman Story," fleshes out the tragic arc of Pat Tillman's life in what becomes less an anti-war movie and more the story of one indomitable family's struggle for truth and justice in the face of arrogant indifference by our nation's top military and civilian leaders, abetted by a cheerleading press.
The Two Stories of This Terrible Economy, Yet Obama and the Dems Won't Tell Theirs
Robert Reich: Republicans lack specific policies but they have a story. Obama and the Democrats have lots of specific policies but don't have a story. That spells even more trouble for Democrats.

Highlights/Key Facts
- Companies in Japan are in need of additional data center services to meet their customers' rising demands. According to Fuji Chimera Research Institute, the Japan data center colocation market is forecast to reach a size of 608 billion yen (approximately $6B) in 2017[1]. The expansion of Equinix's footprint in Tokyo will further enable multinational companies to expand into the growing Japan market and better serve their international customers.
- Equinix is investing $43M in TY4, providing total capacity of 750 cabinet equivalents with 450 cabinets available in the first phase. TY4 is located in an earthquake-resistant building in one of the most secure locations in Tokyo with multiple anti-disaster measures. In addition, TY4 has direct fiber connectivity to Equinix's three other IBX data centers in the city via the Equinix Metro Connect, a service that provides reliable network connectivity, allowing customers in TY4 to easily expand their business within the Equinix platform.
- With its location in Ōtemachi, an international financial center and home to more than 4,000 large enterprises and financial firms, TY4 offers companies an opportunity to expand their IT infrastructure and connect to an established ecosystem of existing and potential customers and partners. TY4's close proximity to the major financial exchanges in Japan will also provide financial companies with reliable, low-latency connectivity that will ensure timely access to multiple information sources to make critical business decisions.
- Companies such ABN Amro Clearing and Box have already expanded into Equinix's IBX in Japan to meet their customers' needs and are taking advantage of Platform Equinix™ and its rich ecosystems with the assurance of a consistent level of service quality and performance.
- Equinix will further strengthen Ōtemachi's position as a premier network hub in Japan by providing its customers with access to a dense network of best-in-class providers, as well as the Equinix Internet Exchange (EIE). The EIE, the world's most widely distributed peering and traffic exchange, will enable Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and content providers to reduce IP transit costs and increase network efficiency by eliminating network hops to improve end user experience for their customers. Companies will also be able to establish new or expand existing peering relationships within TY4.
- TY4 is the latest in a series of recently announced IBX expansions to address the growing demand for data center services in the Asia-Pacific region, Equinix most recently announced plans to develop its first IBX in Osaka (OS1), as well as build its third Singapore data center (SG3). In addition, the company expanded into Indonesia in May 2013 in partnership with PT Data Center Infrastructure Indonesia (PT DCI), announced its plan to launch the fifth phase of its SG2 data center and completed the second phase of its fifth IBX facility in Shanghai.
Sean Lawrence, chief executive officer, ABN AMRO Clearing, Tokyo: "Equinix has been the perfect choice for us with its extensive reach in Asia-Pacific, and its track record of providing the highest quality services consistently through its global platform. We are excited to see Equinix expand its capabilities at their Ōtemachi site to meet the growing requirements for ourselves and our clients. Japan is the natural connection point between Asia and North America with multiple cable systems connecting the regions. The unique Equinix model with access to more than 70 carriers and network providers locally, and direct access to cable systems is unparalleled in Japan, which makes it the natural choice for multi-venue trading strategies, not only within Japan but between North America, Asia and Australia."
Kei Furuta, managing director, Equinix Japan K.K.: "The opening of our fourth data center in Tokyo is in response to the ongoing high demand for interconnectivity, efficient space and power capacity we are experiencing from customers in the region. We already have some of the world's leading financial services firms, network providers, and cloud companies located in our existing facilities in Japan who are benefitting greatly from access to our established ecosystems within Platform Equinix. Our expanded presence in the market with TY4 further strengthens our twin-metro strategy, following our announcement last month to open our first data center in Osaka in the fourth quarter of this year. Customers in Tokyo will be able to benefit from access to sites in the two locations and take advantage of what the market has to offer."

Adam Booth: We have always been willing to fight him (Vitali) in September.
DAVID HAYE and Vitali Klitschko are engulfed in a row over contracts for their proposed heavyweight super fight.
WBC world champion Klitschko claimed Haye turned down a fight against him on September 8, forcing him to face unknown Lebanese boxer Manuel Charr instead.
But Haye's camp insist they never refused to fight Vitali and made the Ukrainian aware from day one of negotiations that he would fight Dereck Chisora first.
Haye KO'd his British rival in The Sun-backed bout at Upton Park on Saturday Klitschko, in Moscow to publicise his title defence against Charr, said: "David Haye was supposed to be at this press conference.
"He had a concrete offer for a fight in September and refused. He turned down a fight with Vitali in favour of Chisora."
Haye's manager Adam Booth blasted: "We have never turned down Vitali.
"We always have been willing to fight him in September but he tried to dictate who David should fight next.
"We made it clear David would fight Chisora in early July then Klitschko in September.
"They told us if we fought Chisora next then we'd be out of a fight against Vitali. We never said we'd not fight Vitali."

It is difficult to explain to someone what Geometry Wars actually is.
The simplest explanation is that you are a shapes, whom mercilessly
slaughters other shapes. For what reason, nobody knows!
The first Geometry Wars - Retro Evolved was unique in that it was an Xbox Live Arcade game that had the quality of a retail release. Sure, you won't see Call of Duty's graphics or GTA IV's expansive gameplay features, but it's always a good time. Even with only the one game mode, countless hours could be wasted trying (and often failing) to defeat the armada of polygonal assassin's that were your enemy.
The second Geometry Wars has takes that excellent gameplay and, instead of trying to change the formula, have simply given us more of the same. Now including six game modes - including the original Evolved mode from its predecessor - there is simply so much to do now.
The first mode they give you, Deadline, seems at first to just be more of the same - shapes killing shapes; however instead of giving you three lives, they give you two minutes. No longer is it a game of survival, it's simply a question of how much you can destroy in two minutes.
Another nice addition that was sorely missed in the last game is that you can now view your friends high-scores from the game selection menu. So when you go to the play the game, and you're trying to choose which game mode to play, you can actually see what your friends scores are, and who's beating you at what. It brings a new level of competitiveness to the game. It also keeps me adequately depressed when I come home to see my brothers new conquers.
There are some other modes which are a real treat - Pacifism takes out the shooting aspect and replaces it with a series of gate-like objects that explode when you fly through them, killing the nearby enemies. Sounds simple, but it's amazingly intricate.
Another really great addition to the series is the plethora of new enemy shapes - the first being a pair of squares joined together that can only move on 90 degree angles. If you thought the pinwheel's from the last game were easy to avoid, you're gonna love these guys. Another new enemy is the arrow-shaped opponent that is returning from waves. These guys spawn in most of the game modes now, and in Deadline they spawn directly in your path, so you've got to stay on your toes.
The old enemies have been revamped too, and have all become 3-dimensional. It's a subtle change that really adds to the game's aesthetic. The particle density on the explosions and other effects seems to have been almost doubled too. The whole game just looks fantastic. Everything glows. Which is good.
In summary, there's simply no better way to spend 800 MS points. The core gamplay is brilliant and the extra game modes are icing on the cake. The addition of four player coop and even better shiney graphics make this an A+ title.

Refreshing pictures 🙂
When it was a bit sunny and there was a bit of rain I started hoping. I love rainbows and I don't get to see many. The trouble was that when the rainbow started happening I was on my way back from work.
I actually parked my car on the side and took out my DSLR and clicked. After three shots I realized that the camera said no memory. Thankfully I had the laptop with me as well, so I took the memory card out of it and went clicking. At one point there was a double rainbow but I could not click it.
It was a tiring day for me but all it takes a little bit of rainbow to cheer me up even in Gurgaon.
PS. It is a busy week, hopefully from next week I will have more time. Also I am already regretting that I have not planned a trip that I can look forward to.
Refreshing pictures 🙂
Do you have the legend of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, in India (or equivalent)? I've never managed to find it! Love to see rainbows, though.
very beautiful shots! can't believe this is gurgaon…:)!
Life is not always about traveling to exotic and beautiful places located far away. Its more about finding the little pieces of beauty surrounded all around us…this is one of my humble philosophies, couldn't have found a better way to prove that this post of yours! Kudos!
Yeah..even I saw the double rainbow on my way back from office. It was simply beautiful and more than that it was the feeling of sheer joy at experiencing such brilliance of nature…grt that you could capture it!!!
Wonderful rainbow click. It's been a long time since i last witnessed one.
