Known as the Yamuna Pushta or 'Yamuna embankment', the illegal settlement in the north-east of the city normally runs for miles on the flood plains on either side of the great river. Now, the plains themselves are completely flooded. A tide of humanity has already engulfed the highway as tens of thousands of slum dwellers abandon their shanty towns along the river and seek shelter.
The communities make camp on the highway with whatever belongings remain, only feet from Delhi's other raging torrent: the traffic. A tiny infant sleeps on hard concrete, a yard or two from the road, wrapped in a blanket. A teenage girl meticulously combs her long, dark hair under the plastic sheeting of her home. Another texts on her mobile phone while filling a canister with drinking water from a water truck.
When we think of globalisation we rarely think of slums but the people of Yamuna Pushta are part of a global phenomenon. Billions of people are congregating in our cities and urban areas, leaving the land and rural settings behind. For the first time in history more than 50 % of the world's population lives in urban areas. By 2050, about 70 % of us are likely to be urban dwellers, compared with less than 30 % in 1950 (UNDESA, 2010).
Cities are also reaching historically unprecedented sizes. The rising number of megacities across the globe puts enormous strains on their natural resource support systems. The even faster growth in small and medium-sized cities could eventually be even more important from an environmental perspective.
Cities concentrate investment and employment opportunities, promoting economic growth and increased productivity. They provide higher-income jobs, as well as greater access to goods, services and facilities, and improved health, literacy and quality of life. These opportunities tempt rural residents to search for a better life and higher income in urban areas.
However, in the absence of strong governance, rapid urban growth can cause major environmental challenges by increasing both consumption and urban poverty.
UN-Habitat statistics suggest that there are 1.1 billion people living in urban slums around the world. With population continuing to rise, more and more people are moving to urban areas around the world and the trend is set to continue.
While the majority of the population suffering severe deprivation still lives in rural areas, there is a large and growing proportion in urban areas too, though just how many is believed to be greatly underestimated in official statistics. Importantly, the proportion of the urban poor is rising faster in many developing countries than the overall rate of urban population growth.
Cities are ecosystems: they are open and dynamic systems that consume, transform and release materials and energy; they develop and adapt; they are shaped by humans and interact with other ecosystems. They must therefore be managed like any other type of ecosystem.
Through rethinking urban design, architecture, transport and planning, we can put our cities and urban landscapes at the forefront of climate change mitigation (e.g. sustainable transport, clean energy and low consumption) and adaptation (e.g. floating houses, vertical gardens). Furthermore, better urban planning will improve quality of life across the board by designing quiet, safe, clean and green urban space. It also creates new employment opportunities by stimulating the market for new technologies and green architecture.
Due to their concentration of people and activities, cities matter. Their problems cannot be solved at the local level alone. Better policy integration and new governance are needed, involving closer partnership and coordination at the local, national and regional levels. Indeed, effective, joined-up policy is crucial in the interconnected world we live in.
Submissions closed on 15 August 2016 and finalists have been selected.
You can vote for your favourite entries in the public vote. You may choose from one to five photos and you can only vote once. The entry with the most votes will receive the Public Choice Award.
Public voting will close on 15 October and the winners of all prizes, including the Public Choice Award, will be announced on this page at the end of October.
Around 75% of population of the EU have chosen urban areas as their place to live. Europeans have adopted urban lifestyles and they use city amenities such as cultural, educational or health services. While cities are the engine of Europe's economy and creators of European wealth, they depend heavily on resources of other regions to meet their demand for resources like energy, water, food, and to accommodate waste and emissions.
Environmental challenges and urbanisation opportunities are closely connected. Many cities struggle to cope with social, economic and environmental problems resulting from pressures such as overcrowding or decline, social inequity, pollution and traffic. On the other hand, the proximity of people, businesses and services provides opportunities to build a more resource-efficient Europe. Already, population density in cities means shorter journeys to work and services, and more walking, cycling or public transport use, while apartments in multi-family houses or blocks require less heating and less ground space per person. As a result, urban dwellers on average consume less energy and land per capita than do rural residents.
Finding the balance between density and compactness on one hand and quality of life in a healthy urban environment on the other is a major challenge for Europe's urban areas.
My City photo competition invited European citizens to share what urban environment means to them. They could choose to depict a European city of their choice, tell a positive or a negative story through their submissions. Participants could focus on one of the following three categories:
Competition winners will receive a cash prize, and all entries may be promoted by the EEA and its partners across Europe.
The winners will be awarded a cash prize of EUR 1000 in each category (Sustainable lifestyle in a city; Getting around in a city; Leisure time in a city), and EUR 500 for the Public Choice award and the Youth Prize.
The Youth Prize will be awarded to the winning entry, selected among those submitted by persons aged between 18 and 24 (born between calendar years 1992-1998) to any of the competition categories.
All the finalists will be put forward for the Public Choice Award and may also feature in future digital and print material from the EEA and its European partners.
The copyright of the materials submitted for this competition remains with respective participants. However, each entrant grants the EEA and its partners the right to use the submitted materials in its environmental communication crediting the copyright owners.
The EEA will appoint a pre-selection committee consisting of communication and environment experts that will select 30-50 finalists, which will then be submitted to an external jury. The jury composed of environmental communication experts from across Europe will determine the winners, with the exception of the Public Choice Award.
For the Public Choice Award, the finalist entries put forward by the pre-selection committee will be open for a public vote 12 September – 15 October 2016.
The winners will be notified by email. Therefore it is crucial to provide correct contact information. The announcement of the winners will be made in October 2016.
Competition finalists were presented at the Transition to the Green Economy (T2gE) conference on 6-7 September 2016 in Bratislava, Slovakia. T2gE conference participants voted for their favourite photos. The photo that received the most votes will be awarded a special prize from The Slovak presidency of the Council of the EU. The winner was announced in the closing session of the T2gE conference.

Police: Driver was drunk with kids
BARRE Police say a drunken grandfather almost drove into a school bus and told a police officer he had a gun while taking his grandchildren to school Thursday.
Terrence Lacroix, 57, of Barre, was cited on charges of drunken driving and cruelty to children. He is scheduled to appear to Washington County criminal court Feb. 14.
Police responded to a report of an erratic driver who almost hit a school bus at the Barre City school. Police were told Lacroix had parked and walked two young children into the school.
Police confronted Lacroix and said he told them he had a 9mm Beretta on him. Police discovered this was not true and took him into custody. At the police station, police said, Lacroix had a blood alcohol content of 0.287 percent.MORE IN This Just InMORRISVILLE Overtime magic from Chloe Schiff and Maralina Moore gave the Solons a huge...

This includes documents that have been designated as classified, through my aggressive use of the Freedom of Information Act.
The restraint chair and force-feeding kit in the detainee hospital at Guantanamo, encountered during a recent trip. We were told this was set up this way for display purposes. It resembles an execution chamber.
Here's what you get.
Regular updates about document requests I am filing with various government agencies and why the material is valuable and newsworthy.
Exclusive access to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, along with an analysis of the material.
A Q&A with me and open government experts in BEACON discussion forums.
Tips on filing good state and federal FOIA requests.
Access to every story, by every writer on BEACON.
The U.S. government is highly secretive about its activities, often times invoking "national security" and "state secrets" to justify its refusal to discuss and release documents that would shed light on a wide-range of issues, such as counterterrorism, finance, civil liberties and foreign policy. Indeed, a 2013 analysis by the Associated Press, based on a study of 33 government agencies, concluded that the U.S. government, "more often than it ever has … cited legal exceptions to censor or withhold" material sought by the public and the media, claiming "the need to protect national security and internal deliberations." But as Thomas Jefferson noted, "Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government" and "whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights."
The official Guantanamo talking points "smart card," which advises public affairs officials what they can and can't say to the media.
Funds raised will be used to pay for costs related to writing, filing fees and, when necessary, Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, which has increasingly become necessary to gain access to government documents.
As thanks, my top-level backers will also get a "FOIA Terrorist" T-shirt in a size of their choice.

I remembered there was a very popular app on the App store that does exactly the same thing but got pulled by Apple.

@hafini_27 Yeah, and there's was an App on on The App store that could detect THE BIG FOOT via GPS... Too bad, it got pulled by Apple.
9. illusionmist (Posts: 157; Member since: 29 Jan 2013)
f.lux was never on the App Store. Some code was released for the sideloading capability on iOS 9, but they misused it (try to trick Xcode to load a compiled binary) so Apple told them to stop. The other truly open source ones (like GoodNight which I'm still using) are still alive and well.
19. hafini_27 (Posts: 888; Member since: 31 Oct 2013)
It is a very popular app. I only remembered that Apple blocked it from App store. Did not know that was the reason.

Well it's a new feature at least, the last few iOS updates haven't had much going on - and this one means you can manually calibrate your screen to a colour temp you prefer without having to Jailbreak too. Can't complain.
12. Unordinary (Posts: 1681; Member since: 04 Nov 2015)
Especially since it's a "." update and not iOS 10,11,12, etc.

f.lux didn't violate any regulation.. they just grabbed the idea and dumped them.. as Apple always do.

just like when they block Google Maps, and release Apple Map (which is a huge failure, lol)
27. AlikMalix (Posts: 5834; Member since: 16 Jul 2014)
When did Apple Block anything from Google, especially maps? They had to remove it from native list of apps when license expired between Apple and Google (same for YouTube) because Google wanted to charge iOS users for step by step directions. If I remember correctly Apple had to come up with it's own maps in like 2 months...
Google got greedy, and you're blaming apple for "blocking" Google maps? are you serious?

f.lux used a non Apple's XCode - that's a security problem...
6. jove39 (Posts: 1856; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
CM12 had this feature for over a year now.
13. Wiencon (Posts: 1870; Member since: 06 Aug 2014)
f.lux had it for 7 years now
14. Unordinary (Posts: 1681; Member since: 04 Nov 2015)
Ive had this on my previous iPhones for yearS. Before F.lux, there was Eyeluv or or whatever it was called 6 years ago.

Screen Filter on Android.
There were some apps which did that already with a jailbroken IOS device

I use Twilight on Android
15. twens (Posts: 978; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
Yet another old feature that tech sites will hype the s**t out of just because it's on iPhones. Every jail breaker knows this has been around for years. There are countless of endless features that can be found in Cydia and touchwiz but they don't get hyped. Once it lands on iOS it gets mentioned. This behavior pisses me off.
16. Jimrod (Posts: 1354; Member since: 22 Sep 2014)
You're the idiot who clicked on the iOS article you hate to see so much of.
23. twens (Posts: 978; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
You're just butt hurt jumping to apples rescue.
24. Jimrod (Posts: 1354; Member since: 22 Sep 2014)
No, I called you an idiot. You click on articles featuring something you hate so you can get all hurt and emotional. Where did I jump to Apple's rescue? Oh that's right, in your tiny little mind... Oh, what's that on your shoulder? Ahh, an enormous chip, I can't seem to get it off... :\
34. Jimrod (Posts: 1354; Member since: 22 Sep 2014)
Amazing comeback.
28. AlikMalix (Posts: 5834; Member since: 16 Jul 2014)
Twins because 95% or more do not jailbreak (including me) nor heard of apps like f.lux until now. Apple sees a beneficial feature that all users should have - so it adds it to the OS - why does that piss you off? You should be pissed off that your favorite ___________ manufacturer doesnt properly let public understand it's features or make them work properly - that their implementations arent impactful enough to make the headline. Whatever the reason - even if it's just tech sites that favor Apple's version - it's not their fault, but their FULL RIGHT to publish whatever they deem worthy.
Sorry, dude, but unless it's Apple - it ain't interesting... Wait! I know, you should start a popular tech website and outline all the features of Samsung, so the public can understand them and why they're needed...
30. Slowpoke (Posts: 14; Member since: 30 Sep 2015)
twens, while Jimrod has a point that you did click a hype article so that Apple would have free advertising, I agree with your point whole heartedly. Apple didn't invent this feature and stole it from many hard working programmers who deserved to make money from it. Like the built in flashlight feature. I miss using an app that would pop up an advertisement blocking the on/off switch right when I wanted to turn on the lite. It was pure brilliance. Now that app gets hardly any business.
32. AlikMalix (Posts: 5834; Member since: 16 Jul 2014)
LoL... I love this post... but everyone is right, Apple didnt invent this feature nor did they research the whole eye rhythm thingy (nor did f.lux or others)... so lets give the biologists credit while we're at it... Apple as far as I've seen isnt taking credit as an innovator of this (the haters are labeling AGAIN as if apple is taking credit for this innovation - non of which is true)... Apple just sees this as a must have feature and added to OS level - why are people so angry at apple for this?
I bet even Apple iOS engineers are sitting there going "dang, Mike, I had no idea people gonna be so hyped about this niteshift thing!!"... lol
36. stormychel (Posts: 1; Member since: 21 Jan 2016)
Because it's the only OS that matters. Deal with it.
18. adecvat (Posts: 266; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
Cool feature. Unreachable for Samsung amoled devices that all have flickering display - r.i.p. your eyes.
20. Awaragardiyan (Posts: 133; Member since: 17 May 2012)
i remember xiaomi added a similar feature in miui in oct 15. it even has apps filter.
21. Awaragardiyan (Posts: 133; Member since: 17 May 2012)
ah, found it.
it even has a slider
22. thegeneral7010 (Posts: 398; Member since: 10 Dec 2014)
Samsung are u ready to copy???
25. BlackhawkFlys (Posts: 337; Member since: 07 May 2014)
I have it on my Android already in form of "twilight" app.
29. AlikMalix (Posts: 5834; Member since: 16 Jul 2014)
Why do you compare apps to native features... if that's the case - I had apps on ios for most of things android does before android came out of its infancy.. Should I state that I already had a calculator on my iOS device before there was a device running Android.. There were also apps for file managers, camera, notes, mail and so on - I had that before Android did...
My iBooks automatically adjust to night mode when you turn off the lights - and that's been years and years ago.. I can claim that apple just expanded that throughout the OS and be done with it!!!
Do you see how that sounds? I'm glad you had your wonderful "Twilight" app. But I'm more happy to have this system wide. Honestly, I bet 99% of people didnt know that adjusting your screen hue helps your eyes when reading in the evening - now thanks to Apple we all do (apps be damned) - and get ready for all your favorite android devices to start implementing it as standard...
31. Mfa901 (Posts: 280; Member since: 14 Jul 2012)
in your native feature you have a 5 step s##t to setup a simple thing...which we can do by a simple click on twilight widget...
33. AlikMalix (Posts: 5834; Member since: 16 Jul 2014)
Have you seen how it works? you set it up and it's AUTOMATIC after that... so if you want to argue for ease of use - iOS doesnt need to be 1. Installed (or pay to get full version for $2.99), 2. Install tasker $2.99 (if you want it to be automatic) or 2. Constantly turn it on and off thru "widget" everytime. 3. Turn it off when you're done.... iOS it just going to be automatically enabled and disabled at what ever you set your perimeters...
Either way, it's a stupid argument.... i'm sure either iOS users or Android users dont care about the way it's enabled - just that it's there...
In my opinion for things like this - native is better because you're about to give up certain permissions to a 3rd party app for it to function - and I dont want to do that if I dont have to...
39. Joulukas (Posts: 69; Member since: 05 Jun 2013)
Well, its not automatic, its scheduled, like in a app, and i dont need tasker or any other app for it. The problem isnt apple adding this useful festure to ios, problem is that everybody is commanding apple for "awsome new feature" and apple is marketing this as something ground breaking. Ypu dont even read to replies, just blast out reasons why apple is omg.
38. nodes (Posts: 725; Member since: 06 Mar 2014)
oh man, seriously...
fanboys get dumber and dumber everyday.
40. gaming64 (Posts: 234; Member since: 22 Mar 2016)
So once it's native on Android, is it safe to assume it's a "ripoff"? :)
37. CreeDiddy (Posts: 723; Member since: 04 Nov 2011)
This is a nice feature. I have already put this in good use.
41. techbuttcheex (Posts: 58; Member since: 25 Jul 2015)
Isn't the coolest setting of night shift closer to an ideal color temperature than the default setting?

Despite the importance of eyesight, millions of people grapple with undiagnosed or untreated vision impairments -- ranging from mild conditions to total blindness -- and eye and vision health remain relatively absent from national health priority lists, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The report calls for transforming vision impairments from common to rare and eliminating correctable and avoidable vision impairments in the U.S. by 2030.

Former National Academy of Sciences President Bruce Alberts has received the prestigious 2016 Lasker-Koshland Award for Special Achievement in Medical Science "for fundamental discoveries in DNA replication and protein biochemistry; for visionary leadership in directing national and international scientific organizations to better people's lives; and for passionate dedication to improving education in science and mathematics," the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation announced today. Currently, the Chancellor's Leadership Chair in Biochemistry and Biophysics for Science and Education at the University of California, San Francisco, Alberts served as president of the NAS from 1993 to 2005, where he was instrumental in developing the landmark National Science Education standards that have been implemented in school systems nationwide. Also announced today, the 2016 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award is being presented to National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Medicine members William Kaelin Jr. of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Harvard Medical School and Gregg Semenza of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, along with Peter Ratcliffe of the University of Oxford/Francis Crick Institute, "for the discovery of the pathway by which cells from humans and most animals sense and adapt to changes in oxygen availability – a process essential for survival." And along with two other researchers, NAS member Charles M. Rice of the Rockefeller University is receiving the 2016 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award "for development of a system to study the replication of the virus that causes hepatitis C and for use of this system to revolutionize the treatment of this chronic, often lethal disease."
The demand for family caregivers for adults who are 65 or older is increasing significantly, and family caregivers need more recognition, information, and support to fulfill their responsibilities and maintain their own health, financial security, and well-being, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Although caregivers' individual circumstances vary, family caregiving can negatively affect caregivers' mental and physical health as well cause economic harm, including loss of income and career opportunities. The report calls for health care delivery system reform that elevates family-centered care alongside person-centered care to better account for the roles of family caregivers and support their involvement in the care delivery process.

A new report urges Congress, federal and state agencies, and regulatory institutions to significantly increase their support for innovation for "increasingly clean" electric power technologies – nuclear power, carbon capture and storage, and renewables such as solar and wind. Some of these technologies have seen recent cost and price declines and are cost-competitive in certain locations. But significantly greater market penetration of these technologies will be required to help address the worst impacts of climate change, as well as harms to human health such as asthma and premature death caused by pollution.

U.S. adults perform comparably to adults in other economically developed countries on most measures of science knowledge and support science in general, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. However, attitudes toward some specific issues, such as climate change or genetic engineering, may be shaped by factors such as values and beliefs rather than knowledge of the science alone. Despite popular assumptions, research shows that increasing science literacy will not lead to appreciably greater support for science. Read More

Research shows that when parents know more about child development, they are more likely to have quality interactions with their child and to act in ways that support their child's healthy development. Also, when parents have knowledge of specific evidence-based parenting practices, they are more likely to engage in those practices. A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine identifies a core set of parenting practices associated with positive child outcomes, such as routines and reduced household chaos; shared book reading and talking to children; use of appropriate (less-harsh) discipline; and practices that promote health and safety such as prenatal care, breast-feeding, vaccination, and children's adequate nutrition.

word is spreading, notice the sp creeping up, could go ballistic this afternoon. Just get in under $5 and hold it, you will make money.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I want to pull the trigger on this but something to good to be true usually is. I may kick myself but i'm going to wait for a pullback to like 4.60 before I position. I don't know why but i just don't trust this one
wonder if yoda is still waiting on $4.60?
I do not trust either, but hope it continues climbing and never comes back below 4.60. It has been so long.
Sentiment: Hold
Good luck...
I've doubled my position this week, and will continue to add to my position. I think you're dead on as to the upward trend, but also a buyout could be announced at anytime....and when that happens...BOOM.

Re: Book closes after 5 secondskuja Feb 11, 2011 7:55 AM (in response to BenjaminM3000)
If the book itself is large then this is a known issues with books like bibles that are larger in size. I discussed this at length with the support people and a support "supervisor".... I bought this device for the purpose of bible study and it can not handle larger books where in you highlight a lot which is exactly what I do with the bible and books for bible study...
Anyway sorry to say but the official word from support when I called them was that the larger books are not supported by Nook Color, when I asked them why I could download they said that was an error... I don't agree with what they said but what am I to do ... I cannot open books that I paid for ... short of blocking the charges on my card I would have no recourse if I purchased this device at barnes and noble.. Thank goodness for Best Buy's extended warranty....
My advise is to get either an IPAD or a Blackberry reader, next month, so that you have more memory to utilize when reading larger books.
Take care and good luck!
Re: Book closes after 5 secondsWeett142 Feb 13, 2011 12:05 PM (in response to BenjaminM3000)
I have the same problem you are describing and i highlight also
A number of my books have started closing after 3-5 seconds and revert back to Read
I am a B&N employee so i get to hear of any unusual things happening.
No one else has ever had it happen - u are the first i heard
I have tried everything including deregistering etc, talking to tech support...
No one understands the problem
I've come to the conclusion that it must have something to do with my highlighting somehow overloading something or other....so i've stopped all highlighting and tried to delete any highlighting i can. I don't think the nook can take mega highlighting. It seems to screw everything up
it's hard to delete highlighting when u can't get back into that particular book because it closes
if i find any fixes to it i will post
Re: Book closes after 5 secondsnatureofanomad Mar 23, 2011 4:10 AM (in response to Weett142)
I am newly having this problem and I am wondering if there is any word on any sort of fix Yet?
Re: Book closes after 5 secondsesmak Mar 31, 2011 10:22 AM (in response to BenjaminM3000)
I've had the same exact problem with 2 of my books closing after2-3 seconds then reverting back to main screen on my NC. I do a lot of highlighting and notes which seems to be the sole culprit. The size of the book seems to be irrelevant. I've deleted the two books and repurchased them but to no avail. Finally, after spending countless hours with tech support in the Phillippines and doemstically, I've decided to go easy on highlighting and notes and the problem has disappeared. i do miss highlithing and it would be nice to fix the problem or atleast let us know how much highlithing is TOO MUCH. Thanks
Re: Book closes after 5 secondsSerolf_Divad Apr 1, 2011 5:31 PM (in response to esmak)
This exact situation just ocurred to me!!! Extremely frustrating! I do a great deal of highlighting (at least one highlight per page) The notion that the Nook Color doesn't "support" large books is too insane to even contemplate. B&N better have a patch in the works because this is simply unacceptable to me.

Lakefront EyePA
Kudos, didn't see this before I 2nd the emotion.
That is an awesome avatar. Love me some Brand New. Nicely done. For California, as others have said, I think it has to be Sculpin.
West Sixth IPA - Kentucky
A more interesting way to look at this is what beer (available year-round in 6-packs) is most representative your state? Here's my list, feel free to fill in the blanks.
Alabama -
Alaska - Alaska Smoked Porter
Arizona - Corona
Arkansas -
California - Stone IPA
Colorado - Dale's Pale Ale
Connecticut - Chateau Margaux 1995, consumed on a yacht
Delaware - Dogfish Head 60-Minute IPA
Florida -
Georgia -
Hawaii - Maui Brewing Coconut Porter
Idaho -
Illinois -
Indiana - Three Floyd's Alpha King
Iowa - Anything to erase the memory of 2012 Hawkeye football
Kansas -
Kentucky - Blanton's Barrel Proof bourbon
Louisiana -
Maine - Shipyard IPA wicked pissah
Maryland -
Massachusetts -
Michigan - *Insert comment about FBS coming to 6-packs here*
Minnesota - Doesn't matter. So cold it's impossible to taste anything.
Mississippi -
Missouri -
Montana -
Nebraska - 100% corn adjunct lager, preferably flat
Nevada - Whatever I can afford after I lose all my money at games of chance
New Hampshire -
New Jersey -
New Mexico -
New York - Something rude and far too expensive for normal people to afford
North Carolina -
North Dakota -
Ohio -
Oklahoma -
Oregon - Caldera IPA and a bong hit
Pennsylvania - Victory Prima Pils
Rhode Island -
South Carolina - do they have beer there?
South Dakota -
Tennessee -
Texas - Tecate and a bar fight
Utah - A 6-pack of wives
Vermont - OMG Heady Topper zzzzzzzzz....
Virginia -
Washington - Some beer that's actually brewed in Oregon
West Virginia -
Wisconsin - Better make it a 12-pack
Wyoming -
prob union jack
Wisconsin: O'so Night Train, Lakefront Riverwest Stein, NG Moon Man... I'm indecisive in moments like this but I think the O'so might win it (tonight).
Flying Fish has said that Exit 16 is going to be year Round. That's the winner in NJ.
^ These! And some runners-up, in 4-packs: Green Flash West Coast IPA and Sierra Nevada Hoptimum. Yum.
Oh yeah. I live in Ohio now-that makes it really easy
Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald
2nd would be Brew Kettle White Rajah
For PA-
Weyerbacher Double Simcoe (I don't think its in 4 packs)
I've only had regular (many times, CC gets distro here) and the cedar/Humidor, but yes I have. I've only tried 50 or so IPA's and neither Jai Alai is in my top ten, and had them both fresh. Flower Power currently is my #3 reg. distro IPA.
I assume you have tried fresh Flower Power?
I'd say for WY, Pako's IPA and Zonker Stout.
Revolution Anti Hero
In NY I would have to go with Flower Power.
Illinois. A few to mention: Metropolitan Flywheel, Half Acre Daisy Cutter, and Two Brothers Cane and Ebel. All of which I have not done a formal review yet.
I haven't yet....Hook a brotha up! ha ha
For some reason I read that as area.
It's a four pack
Alpha King by Three Floyds
Munster, IN
Either GL Eddie Fitz or Columbus IPA...i would include White Rajah but, of late, its been hit or miss in finding it in the normal spots on a regular basis...and im 10 minutes from the brewery sooooooo.....
Indiana- Alpha King and Zombie Dust. I love living here.
Even though some "hop heads" will disagree, I gotta go with Four Peaks Kiltlifter, also available in cans!
zombie dust, just wish it was more available
Grey Sail [of Rhode Island] Flying Jenny Extra Pale Ale.
Sorry, Abrasive isn't a year round beer.
Yes. I realized that after I posted. See my first answer.
I need to try Dark Cloud! I've had Sisters of the Moon and wasn't too impressed. I also wanted to get some Silent Night but didnt want to pay 19 dollars
Georgia-Sweetwater IPA
Agreed. Wild Rice Double IPA is a winner. I just got a fresh one off the truck today down in North Carolina
Houston only Karbach Hopadillo or Weisse Versa. Saint Arnold is supposed to start packaging Endeavour in 6 packs also.
I kind of feel like this should be split up further. Like a best IPA from your state, best porter/stout, best wheat, or red etc. Especially with states like California that are huuuuge. While I cant disagree that Stone IPA isn't a great beer, is it the best in the state? hmm. Furthermore which states have the best beer?
My short list would be
1.) California
2.) Colorado
3.) North Carolina (okay I live here so it gets higher ranking)
4.) Michigan
5.) Ohio
Gotta be Founder's Rye PA.
KY West 6th IPA cans!
Smuttynose Finest Kind IPA Portsmouth, NH
...oh wait, you were serious?
Just tried night train for the first time on Tuesday and must say I was pleasantly surprised. I'll be buying a 6-er soon.
Another thing I like is that is translates well to tap.
two hearted founders porter
Thanks for the laugh! ...especially Utah!

Karnak information
Karnak is an extraordinary complex of sanctuaries, kiosks, pylons and obelisks, dedicated to the Theban triad but also to the greater glory of pharaohs. Constructed over more than 1500 years, it has at its heart the temple of Amun, 'home' of the local god who became the most powerful deity in Egypt and the wider region. Be sure to allow enough time: wandering through this gigantic complex is one of the highlights of any visit to Egypt.
Everything is on a gigantic scale: the site covers over 2 sq km, large enough to contain about 10 cathedrals, while its main structure, the Temple of Amun, is one of the world's largest religious complexes. This was where the god lived on earth, surrounded by the houses of his wife Mut and their son Khonsu, two other huge temple complexes on this site. Built, added to, dismantled, restored, enlarged and decorated over nearly 1500 years, Karnak was the most important place of worship in Egypt during the New Kingdom, when it was called Ipet-Sut, meaning 'The Most Esteemed of Places'.
The complex is dominated by the great Temple of Amun-Ra , with its famous hypostyle hall, a spectacular forest of giant papyrus-shaped columns. On its southern side is the Mut Temple Enclosure , once linked to the main temple by an avenue of ram-headed sphinxes. To the north is the Montu Temple Enclosure , which honoured the local Theban war god. The 3km paved avenue of human-headed sphinxes that once linked the great Temple of Amun at Karnak with Luxor Temple is now again being cleared. Most of what you can see was built by the powerful pharaohs of the 18th to 20th dynasties (1570–1090 BC), who spent fortunes on making their mark in this most sacred of places. Later pharaohs extended and rebuilt the complex, as did the Ptolemies and early Christians. The further into the complex you venture, the older the structures.
The light is most beautiful in the early morning or later afternoon, and the temple is quieter then, as later in the morning tour buses bring day trippers from Hurghada. It pays to visit more than once, to make sense of the overwhelming jumble of ancient remains.

Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, IFC Films' On the Road
Starring Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, and Kristen Stewart, Walter Salles' On the Road movie version of Jack Kerouac's iconic novel will be distributed in North America by IFC Films and Sundance Selects. Is that good news for North Americans? Definitely. Is that good news for On the Road? Well, it's both good and not-so-good news.
It's good news in that Walter Salles' film has finally landed a U.S. distributor, which means a 2012 release – some time in the fall, according to reports. It's not great news for those who were expecting On the Road to find a box office and awards-season-savvy North American distributor.
IFC Films releases usually get enthusiastic reviews, but for the most part they have performed modestly – or downright poorly (at times abysmally) – at the North American box office. Andrew Haigh's Weekend took in $484,000, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne's The Kid with a Bike $1.21 million, Nanni Moretti's We Have a Pope $295,000, Miranda July's Me and You and Everyone We Know $3.88 million, Steven Soderbergh's Che $1.49 million, Julia Stiles' The Business of Strangers $1.03 million, Bertrand Tavernier's The Princess of Montpensier $352,000, Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams $5.3 million, and Wim Wenders' Pina $3.52 million.
The last two IFC-distributed movies to earn more than $10 million – even adjusting for inflation – were both released a decade ago: Nia Vardalos' My Big Fat Greek Wedding (an astounding $241.43m) and Alfonso Cuarón's Y tu mamá también ($13.83m). In fact, those are the only two IFC movies to have raked in more than $10 million in North America according to figures found at Box Office Mojo.
IFC Films' modest Academy Awards record
As for the 2012/2013 awards season … Well, had The Weinstein Company bought On the Road's North American rights, it'd have been great news for the film and its talent if only because Harvey Weinstein's awards-season machinery would have automatically turned On the Road into a major Oscar, Golden Globe, SAG Award, etc. contender. Really, how many people watching Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist at Cannes back in May 2011 would have guessed that nine months later the silent, French-made film would take home the Best Picture Academy Award?
True, IFC Films' Pina did manage a Best Documentary Feature Academy Award nod earlier this year, but Me and You and Everyone We Know, Matteo Garrone's Gomorrah, Cristian Mungiu's 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, Errol Morris' Tabloid, Abbas Kiarostami's Certified Copy, Arnaud Desplechin's A Christmas Tale, and Olivier Assayas' Summer Hours, despite numerous positive reviews and US critics' awards – failed to receive a single Oscar nod.
When it comes to the Academy Awards, the rare IFC Films that have been shortlisted by the Academy have found themselves in the running in the best screenplay categories, e.g., My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Y tu mamá también, and Armando Iannucci's In the Loop. Additionally, Susanne Bier's After Wedding was a Best Foreign Language Film nominee. That's about it.

Finally made $40 again!
tat..mar 11,09 payed 1.06 dividen...in march 8 07 we hit 91 and in 25 Jan 05 there awas the 2:1 split. You can get this info in yahoo finance in the monthly ledger. If Yahoo is wrong then your right.So Im looking foward to 90 when Roche finanlly gets back to what it was before the debacle with DNA to boot.Tat if your right the next time you in PR. Ill Invite you to cup of coffe at a local whi branch and If Im right you invite me a cup.Good luck longs.
Amador & everyone else - this link provides an accurate chart of the price movement of Roche Holdings. As you can see, we are within a hair's breadth of an all-time high. The all-time high looks to have been around 48.
Amador - you got a deal. And I apologize for my rudeness. Where is PR? Puerto Rico? Well, my wife and I were there a long long time ago, on a Caribbean cruise, and enjoyed it a lot. I envy you your nice weather - here in Phoenix AZ it's horribly cold even though we get 115 degree summers all the time! (Fortunately a lot drier than PR).
Yahoo is wrong - I mean the graph - you can see other posters saying the same thing. This stock IS at an all-time high and going UP UP UP - look at today, when the DJI went down while we made more gains!
Its holding 44. March 08 we hit the 90..it payed a couple of dollars dividen.March 09 we got close to the 37 lows and payed 1.plus dividen.You can find this info in yahoo finance in historical prices in the monthly ledger.Yet we absorved dna amoung others and have been in the front of the flu global struggle.Its stable of drugs at all stages is the envy of the industry.But im prejudiced!
amador - you must be the world's slowest learner. Maybe you should spend a litle less time on "amor" and more on finance?
How many times do we have to explain to you that the stock split 2:1 so the 90 you quote is really 45 - in other words, Roche is practically speaking at an all-time high.
Can somebody else get thru to this guy better than I?
Look at all of the GAPS (either UP or DOWN) when Roche starts the Trading Day. You START NOWHERE NEAR where you ENDED the day before. But, the TREND is UP and that is a GOOD THING!
tats..it finally reached 43 again! Hope to see soon some one say it finally reached 90 again. All this with solid gains in profits and service to humanity.The best to all in the Holidays festivity and a happy and prosperous New Year with all the health you need to enjoy it from Sunny Puerto Rico.
The old 90 is the new 45. This stock is near an all-time high and going higher as the world population ages, gets sicker, and needs Roche drugs.
I used to live in St. Thomas in the 1960's when I was in Elementary school. I could see Puerto Rico from our house on a clear day! I live in S/E Florida now. Happy New Year to you too.
Roche need to hold $43 before it can think of seeing $90. I bought it for a Tamiflu bounce at 37.90. It's more like watching Tamiflu dry...
In showed in an earlier message that the stock did NOT drop from $70 to $30. It split. So the effective drop was only from $35 to $30, and now it's at an all-time high! This stock has not only shown tremendous resilience in the face of a disastrous stock market, but is at an all-time high and seemingly going higher!
Well, made it to $42 TODAY. It's not like anyone cares, but I though it was nice....
Roche bobs like it was a small speculative stock. Moves like has no large following to merit its huge size. Even DNA was treated different with more deference and now DNA is part of Roche. To me it makes no difference I'll buy every chance I get for two reasons, Its top of the line and for future currency play.
<<What gap?>>
The one from $70 to $30, starting in January 09 and completing the downward trend in March 09.
<< Meanwhile, ROACHE hit $42 today. Nice (yet choppy) progress! It has a BIG GAP to fill! >>
What gap?
Still no test results, but she's doing fine! Today is the last of the TAMIFLU.
Meanwhile, ROACHE hit $42 today. Nice (yet choppy) progress! It has a BIG GAP to fill!

Just about every week in the SEC, you could pick out a must-see game. That's life in the toughest football conference in the land.
A year ago, the Alabama-LSU game in Tuscaloosa was billed as the latest version of the "Game of the Century."
Well, those two teams will square off for the third time in a year this coming Nov. 3 in Baton Rouge. The Tigers are still smarting from their 21-0 beating at the hands of the Crimson Tide in January's BCS National Championship Game.
Is that your must-see game again in 2012, or is there another matchup you think will be more compelling?
Fans, here's your chance to vote in our SportsNation poll on what will be the game that nobody wants to miss in 2012.
We've come up with five choices, and there are no doubt a few games that will end up being classics that we've left off.
But tell us what you think, and we'll review the results early next week.

R4 is NOT illegal, it depends on how you use them. If you use them for videos, photos, music, and games that you already originally own, then it's legal.Originally Posted by Darkonix
If R4 was illegal, then it wouldn't be openly distributed among people worldwide. Numerous game sites sell them. I even have one myself.
Get Pokemon Diamond or Pearl those games are great.

The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $750,000 to support music education for children – 210 grants in 43 states, with more on the way.

quote: Try turning off UAC in Win 8 compared to Win 7 In Win 7 go to start run and type UAC. The same applies with Launching RDP, Command prompt, Anytime upgrade, browsing directories, and the list goes on. I want my start menu back, I can organize it the way I want and shutdown in 2 clicks.
quote: If you still haven't experienced the defining UI experience that is Windows 7, now is the time to try it out yourself. Windows 7 is frequently touted by users as the smoothest, most user-friendly Windows operating system thus far. Experience timeless Windows standards like the all-encompassing Window's Search, Taskbar, full 64-bit support and now with enhanced responsiveness, less drag on memory, faster sleeps and resumes, as well as a much wider range of customization options to make YOUR Windows look and feel uniquely your own.

quote: Other info from the site includes suggests that Microsoft will flatten the UI on the desktop (think the Metro/Windows 8 UI style) [...] The Aero UI, which was a staple of Windows Vista and Windows 7 is also being bid adieu, like the Start button before it.
quote: But... They did all that already in Windows 8. They flattened the UI, removing all gradients and shadows, and removed Aero.
