Video Poker: Why Do People Like It
Yesterday, I was getting a pint at my local bar when I noticed a modest guy in a dark suit. Sitting to the far-correct corner of the bar and away from all of us, this brief man was crouched more than a glowing video poker screen. Huh?
It was just a handful of months back that casinos all over the world and especially in Las Vegas had been removing poker, baccarat and blackjack tables and adding more and far more slot machines rather. But then something peculiar took spot. Casino owners and personnel noticed that one particular corner of the machines was far more crowded than the rest. A short examination revealed that the games allocated to the slot section was none other than video poker. So why are so many interested players preferring video poker?
Right here, I will try and answer some of the much more practical reasons why this has occurred and will take place even a lot more and far more:
1) The Odds: Although slot machines provide odds that are fairly tough to win on (and by that I imply the actual massive bucks), video poker machines are much easier when it comes to accumulating a massive sum since it is somewhat primarily based (even although loosely) on poker. This makes every player consider that it is based on his ability more than just on luck.
2) Much more Option: By this I am not referring to the choose of distinct slot machines, but rather to the fact that you have the option of picking the row to play with it whereas in slots, you have no genuine handle soon after you press the button or pull the lever. To get a different perspective, please consider having a glance at: Experiencing Deuces Crazy Video Poker Devices. It is not a secret that the principle of each these two games is to attempt and hit the cash jackpot regardless of whether it is by obtaining the appropriate numbers or symbols aligned or whether or not it is by getting a royal poker flush. To do this in video poker, you have to choose from a number of five-hand cards.
3) Sitting Out: When playing at a slot machine, you have to play each and every and every time. To get a different perspective, please gaze at: video poker apps. Dig up further on our affiliated portfolio by clicking rate us. If you want to stop, you have to clear the machine so that a person else can get a try. But this is not the case when playing video poker. This game permits you to merely sit out a round or two and then continue anytime you feel like.
4) Greater Income Ratio: Since of the opportunity that you can sit out any round exactly where your cards are not any great. You have a larger chance creating an all round profit out of the time you spent playing at the casino whether or not it is an on-line casino or a land one or even no matter whether it is just a little machine in the regional diner or bar or regional gas station.
five) It is also stated in many video poker circles and plenty of other articles about the web that the statistics of hitting larger paying possibilities although playing video poker are larger in comparison to playing video slot machines.
Not withstanding all of the above causes, the fact that poker is very common and slot machines as well only leads me to assume that a game combining the two will be drastically appreciated by any player of either of the two games but far more so by these who get pleasure from the drone of the machine.. For one more interpretation, we understand people have a gander at: iphone poker app.

JetBlue: Airline Most Likely to Disappoint?
According to Stifel's Joseph DeNardi and Sawyer McKelvey it's not Delta Air Lines (DAL), not American Airlines (AAL), not even United Continental (UAL). No, it's JetBlue (JBLU). They explain why:
JetBlue is most likely to report EPS below the Street, in our view, with our estimate of $0.17, below consensus of $0.19...On a capacity weighted average basis, JetBlue is expected to report PRASM up 6.0% for 2Q (roughly in line with our expectations albeit on a lower than expected load factor), but capacity growth in the quarter was 6% (toward the low end of the company's 5.5%-7.5% guidance) which we suspect could pressure CASM-ex growth in the quarter above our 5.5% estimate, which is at the midpoint of management's guidance range of 4.5%-6.5%.
Delta Air Lines is not only the most likely to beat, DeNardi and McKelvey, but has the most upside coming out of earnings as well. They explain why:
Delta is most likely to report EPS ahead of the Street, in our view, as consensus appears to be expecting margin guidance at the midpoint of the company's guidance; whereas, Delta has reported an operating margin toward or above the high end of its range the past four quarters. We note that a 16% operating margin would equate to roughly $1.12 in EPS for the quarter, according to our model...We believe Delta has the most upside potential over the next six months given its relative underperformance since hitting an all time high in early June as international capacity concerns and a disappointing outlook for 2Q have pressured shares...Delta's underperformance over the past six weeks creates a buying opportunity, in our view, as the outlook for further margin expansion and a ramp up in returning cash to shareholders will generate compelling earnings growth and an eventual improvement in relative valuation, in our view.
Shares of JetBlue have dropped 1.4% to $10.68 at 9:41 a.m., while Delta Air Lines has fallen 1.3% to $36.71, United Continental has declined 1.3% to $43.67 and American Airlines is off 1% at $42.50.

As a mom of two boys, you'd probably think that I don't get that much "girl time" in my routine. But you may be surprised to hear that, actually, I do get plenty of time for things like getting my nails done or going to the spa.
What I don't get, though, is any company. My husband and adolescent sons never want to go get mani-pedis with me or any of that "girl stuff", and they are more than happy to let me go my own way when spa time is on the agenda. So I usually have to recruit a girlfriend or go it alone.
However, lately I don't feel so lonely in my love for nice nails. A huge interest in nail polish trends has been cropping up with all the stylish ladies in our office. My friends and coworkers are showing off nails in bright neon, creamy pastels, sparkling glitters and so much more. Specialty bottles of fancy enamels have even been ordered online and ooh-ed and aah-ed over when they have arrived. It's pretty fun to have the beauty salon come to you! And to have some friends to share your interest.
Inspired by my chic colleagues here at the office, I've even given some pretty polishes out as gifts to my girlfriends and their daughters. Wouldn't this gift tag be adorable with a couple of bright nail polishes or a fun spa gift?

CNET Editors\' review by: CNET staff on September 30, 2009 Keeping track of a small business is nearly always a challenge, but those in the party rental and event planning industry face special difficulties, especially in managing large inventories of small items that must be constantly grouped and regrouped in different ways for a wide variety of clients who nevertheless have a few things in common, like big plans and high expectations for their events. If that sounds like your life (and headaches) then RentMaster is for you. It\'s a rental-based inventory and business management tool optimized specifically for the party, event, and special occasion trade, with a plethora of inventory items already entered, but it also makes it easy to enter your own items. RentMaster opens with a clean and simple dialog interface, just a main window, menu bar, task bar, and sidebar. It focuses on five functions, logically laid out in the natural progression of business: Quotes, Orders, Customers, Inventory, and Reports and Statistics. Tabs expand your options in each category with selections for Inventory, Sets, Products, and Categories. Clicking on any tab calls up related Tips in a sidebar to the right of the main window. Selecting Reports and Statistics lets you easily produce and print everything from business statistics to mailing labels and rental agreements. The fully functional trial version of RentMaster is free to use for 30 days, after which it\'s $995 to purchase. However, if you need it, it can pay for itself in no time, and it might be deductible as a business expense.

Suburban son rises
Husband and father, now appealing to a much wider family

In a coffee shop at Roselands, the Premier of NSW sits hunched over a map of his territory. He's excited. The formality slips away. Like a general with untold battles still to fight, Morris Iemma jabs at the creeks, the railway lines and highways that mark the shifting political boundaries in these dozen suburbs in Sydney's south-west. "I know it quite well," he says modestly. "I've spent all my life here."
Iemma is bad at boasting. The feeble slogan "More to do but we're heading in the right direction" is very him. But with a deep sense of achievement, he boasts his skill as a campaigner for the Labor Party going back 25 years. When all's said and done, that's what this man is: a winner in the never-ending turf wars of the Sydney suburbs who finds himself unexpectedly at the top of the state's political heap.
He's the recruiter, the branch stacker, the doorknocker. The party has called in some big talents to work on Iemma's television skills since he became Premier. He's better now than he was. He'd have to be. But crowds and cameras don't ignite him. Iemma's forum of choice is the front doorstep: just him and a voter with nothing between them but a fly screen door.
What they see is a type respected in these suburbs: a modest young man with an easy smile, a good listener, smooth, neatly dressed, married with children, speaks Italian and Calabrese, a bit old-fashioned, with a reputation for keeping his promises. On his home ground they know Maurizio (Morris) Iemma as a well-brought-up wog kid.
The whole of his political heartland can be seen from the Roselands car park. In the shadow of the shopping mall are the streets of Narwee where Iemma lives in a fortified McMansion with his wife, Santina, and their four young children. Further off is Beverly Hills, where he grew up with his parents, Giuseppe (George) and Maria, and where he joined his first Labor branch. In the distance are the 1970s tower blocks of the Riverwood housing estate poking out of the bush.
Iemma knows every house, every flat, every street and just about every face in this pocket of Sydney which - in one seat or another - he has represented for the past 16 years. This patch was the northern limit of the seat of Georges River, then the western frontier of Hurstville and since the wild branch-stacking wars of the late 1990s - which Iemma won - it has formed the southern end of the redesigned seat of Lakemba which now stretches all the way north to Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly's mosque.
But Riverwood gave him his start. Shy, only 29, and making his first tilt at Parliament, he asked Bob Carr to come out just once in the 1991 campaign and make only one promise: to reopen the estate's Housing Commission office, closed by Nick Greiner. "It is an area with a high proportion of unemployed, lots of single mums, people with a mental illness, people with disabilities, pensioners," Iemma says. "So there are lots of people who are socially disadvantaged who lived there and relied on the office - a public service that made their life just a bit more liveable."
The promise was made. The Labor vote returned powerfully. Iemma won the seat and he has been showing his gratitude to Riverwood ever since. Though the suburb is now on the edge of his electorate, this is where Iemma keeps his office, beside the Riverwood Legion Club on the same block as the Mumbai Mixed Grocery, Nick's Sandwiches, the Thairanosaurus restaurant and Gus's Sea Foods.
Nine months after Iemma became Premier, the Housing Department made an unusually large, swiftly approved and unpublicised grant of $7.7 million to build an indoor sports centre and library on the Riverwood estate. The money came after Iemma was lobbied "two or three times" by his former adviser and now local mayor, Robert Furolo. The Opposition has referred the matter to the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Riverwood is again in the eye of an election. Iemma defends this "very worthy" grant but has declined to deny ordering the Housing Department to make it. The Premier told the Herald it's now a matter for the commission: "I do not intend to prejudice those deliberations by responding to the daily diet of grubby allegations dished up by the Opposition."
The Iemmas owned a patch of land outside Martone in the hills of Calabria. In the 1950s, they scattered to Rome, Argentina and Sydney looking for work. Young Giuseppe was left behind: a communist in a conservative village. He had no time for the church. "A number of the priests were supportive of the right," Iemma says. "They always attempted to influence elections and votes. My father just bridled at that."
With his bride, Maria, a staunch Catholic, Giuseppe arrived in Sydney in 1960. They lived in Glebe and worked in factories. Maria sewed and George (as he became) spent the next 15 years stamping out parts for Holdens. When their only child was six, they moved to Beverly Hills. The Iemmas still live in the house they built then: solid, red brick, Corinthian columns and clipped cypresses.
"My father is my biggest inspiration," Iemma says. His politics were hardline but fixed on the Italian community. Then Whitlam came along, and George was swept away. He took every criticism personally. He took his son on his shoulders to a huge Whitlam rally at Rockdale Town Hall. Again he heard priests preaching against the left. "He really didn't want to know about the church after that," Iemma says. The sacking was terrible for the old man and propelled his son into the Labor Party.
Iemma has never signed up with the Catholic push in caucus known as the Choir Boys. "I am influenced by my mum and her beliefs and also by the secularism of my dad," he says. "Do I believe in God? Yes. Do we attend Mass? Yes, we do. Not every Sunday as part of our routine and still with my father's secularism. So my religious beliefs don't shape my public policy or political views. I keep my religious beliefs to myself and try to keep them separate."
But the traces of the father's Marxism are all but impossible to detect. Perhaps the fact that Iemma has never been a factional head-kicker comes from being brought up in a house that held the left in high regard. At 16, when he joined the elderly members of the local Labor branch meeting at the Beverly Hills Baby Health Centre, Iemma may still have shared his father's radical values. But they've been smoothed away since by the party machine.
The only career he ever planned was in politics. At the St George's Day celebrations of the Martone village association in 1984, he met the Labor member for Lowe, Michael Maher. By this time the young man had survived the roughhouse of Narwee High, scraped through economics at Sydney University, stuffed envelopes for the embattled member for Banks, John Mountford, and was looking for a job. Through Maher, he found a perch with the Commonwealth Bank Officers Association.
He was already "active" in the branches by 1986 and was at first reluctant to join Graham Richardson's staff in Canberra when the offer came. "I said, 'I'm settled where I am."' But the new senator and former boss of the NSW Labor machine persuaded young Iemma to make the move. He was supposed to be a researcher and speechwriter - and did those tasks well when he turned up in Canberra to perform them - but his five years with Richo were spent doing political chores in Sydney, learning the ropes, being groomed.
Being one of Richo's boys now dogs the Premier. He admits to "very irregular" contact with his disgraced mentor: "Might see him socially a couple of times a year. The last time I spoke to him was just as the campaign started. He wished me well. He said, 'Look, just get out there as often as you can. Keep your head down and keep going. Just don't get distracted.' And he rang me after the debate and said, 'I think you did well. I thought you won it. Look, just go. Keep going."'
Keeping his head down and his face out of the local papers, Iemma worked in his last years with Richardson to rebuild the branches devastated in the 1988 elections. Across Iemma's southern suburbs, every Labor member was swept from Parliament. It was in the aftermath of that historic collapse that Iemma began to show perhaps his greatest talent: as a party recruiter. He filled the branches with new people, his people. And on the whole, they were Lebanese.
Why Lebanese? "There were already a few in the branches," Iemma says, but won't be drawn further. Another Labor man who knows this political territory intimately said: "They're Labor, they have big families and they're loyal. If you recruit a Leb, you've got their vote. It's a matter of honour." That's a word you hear often around Iemma. Even his opponents say he's old-school. His word is his bond. He's a man you can deal with. He's loyal. He's honourable.
But leading Labor through the maze of the Lebanese community - finding the families, making the introductions - was the figure of Eddie Obeid. This businessman, powerbroker, publisher of the Arabic newspaper El Telegraph and soon to be a member of the state Legislative Council was a player in Iemma's career from early on. Again the Premier is dogged by the questions: why did he keep such political company? What does he owe them?
Iemma's first campaign is a thing of legend. Some say he knocked on 10,000 doors. Others say 18,000. And when he won in May 1991, he kept on knocking. "I started my re-election for '95 almost straight after the '91 election," he says. "We called it continuous campaigning in those days. It was digging in street by street, issue by issue, day in day out."
Iemma's name was barely mentioned in the press in his first eight years in Parliament. He says: "My entire time was devoted to winning my seat." Crucial in this was his membership of the Terrigals faction.
This network of convenience was set up in 1992 to bring the caucus back under the sway of the Labor machine. Richardson was its godfather, Obeid its convener, Iemma his deputy and among the colourful figures in its ranks were the Olympics minister Michael Knight and the instantly controversial Joe Tripodi.
The Terrigals sprang to Iemma's defence when it became clear that his seat of Hurstville was going to be abolished. The result was a huge factional stoush in Sydney's southern suburbs in 1997. Iemma was stacking branches all round his heartland, guessing which way the boundaries would go. He's shy of saying exactly how many he recruited that year. "Reports of the numbers were always exaggerated," he says. "A few hundred: 300, 400." In party terms, that's an army. Most were Muslim Lebanese.
Iemma's name first became known to the public in the context of this madness, but sank out of sight again when the party machine resolved the crisis in his favour. Sussex Street accepted all his recruits for membership and rejected all the new members rounded up by his opponent. It was a total victory.
Those last months of 1997 also saw him leave home to marry Santina Raiti, an accountant from a family of Sicilian background. The wedding on grand final weekend was a bash for 350 that brought together both halves of the 36-year-old backbencher's life: the Italians and the Labor Right led by Richardson and the then premier, Bob Carr. Asked years later when and where he was happiest in his life, Iemma replied: "On Hayman Island on my honeymoon."
When all is said and done, winning elections is the one unalterable interest of Australia's toughest political machine. Long before caucus got the message, Sussex Street saw a future for this shy man from the suburbs who was proving a sensational campaigner in marginal seats. After making Hurstville safe for Labor in the 1990s, then winning Lakemba in March 1999, Iemma's time had come. Carr made him minister for public works.
He prospered in the job. Iemma grasps detail, understands figures and listens. He doesn't deride the public service or brawl with his senior bureaucrats. He pushed through the redevelopment of Walsh Bay, gave Kerry Packer another slice of Perisher and put Michael Edgley into Luna Park. Carr sat up and paid attention when Iemma hired private cleaners for public schools yet avoided a union meltdown. In 2001 Carr also gave him the Sport and Recreation portfolio.
But Iemma had an old ambition to get to Canberra. The stacking through the 1990s gave him the numbers in the federal seat of Watson, which covers suburbs in both his old and new state seats. The branches were full of Iemma's people. Faction leaders have confirmed that Watson was his if he wanted it. Some add that Canberra had been Iemma's main game ever since he worked for Richardson.
Iemma sees it a little differently. He says Canberra was more a "back-up plan" in case "things didn't work out in NSW" or in case something happened to the sitting member Leo McLeay. But he was clearly thinking of making the switch as the state elections of 2003 approached. "I loved Public Works," he says, but "there was some frustration that there wasn't anything beyond Public Works and so, yes, I was thinking about Canberra."
Three things made up his mind to stay. Carr had decreed there would be no byelections, so Iemma would have stand down at the coming poll and cool his heels until the next federal elections. In the shark pool of NSW Labor, that was impossibly high-risk. The second was his family: he now had a young daughter and a baby boy. The third was the prospect of a big promotion. "I was thinking about Canberra but then the family came along, and Health."
"Who's Iemma?" the public asked when he was appointed minister for health in March 2003. It was a big promotion for a man described as competent, low profile, little known and unspectacular. No one was predicting big things. The media concentrated on the dumping of Obeid, the demotion of Carl Scully - from Transport to Roads - and the elevation of Craig Knowles to a new mega ministry of Infrastructure Planning and Natural Resources.
Politics is all about time and numbers. Given more time, things might have shaken out very differently for Iemma. But when Carr suddenly announced in August 2005 he was going off to enjoy Sydney's winter weekends, the numbers were all wrong for Scully and Knowles. Polling showed the former wasn't an election winner; the latter was worn out. The worst number for Knowles was the blood-alcohol reading he'd recorded earlier that year: .06.
That in the end it was a one-horse race is an extraordinary judgement on the Carr government and the party professionals who have the job of feeding talent through to the Parliament. Iemma's 30 months at Health had left him scarcely better known to the public. But the machine called in the key faction players - including Obeid - and showed them the polling. Iemma had the best chance of winning the next election. "It was," said an admiring Labor insider "a professional hit." Caucus folded.
Iemma's victories have a certain pattern: he works harder for them than the public ever sees; he's more determined than he appears; the depth of his support always comes as a surprise. But his opponents are second rate or worse: Liberal nobodies in the suburbs, Scully in caucus and now Peter Debnam.
On a wet morning a few weeks ago at Gymea Bay Public School, a hundred restive children were singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, waiting for the Premier to arrive. He was late. Iemma is always a bit late. "Morning everyone," he said when he appeared at last. "Morning, Mr Iemma," the kids replied in sing-song. He sat on the floor with them, cross-legged in a dark suit, gold watch and striped tie.
His campaign isn't frantic. A bit after dawn each day his minders alert the media to the first of the two or three engagements that lie ahead. This email was marked: "PIC FAC ONLY". No questions were allowed from the half-dozen journalists tagging along, but one of the five-year-olds asked him: "Are we going to be on telly?" Poor innocent: that was the only point of the visit.
He's oddly made. The head and shoulders are big, but everything else is small. The voice is soft. Any softer and he couldn't have been a minister, let alone Premier of NSW. Political success in this state demands a voice that cuts through the bedlam of Parliament. His does. But the great political asset is his smile: an easy, lopsided grin that looks terrific on television.
"Who knows Big Red Car?" he asked and their hands shot up. Apart from political briefs, children's books are Iemma's main reading these days - though he did manage to finish Richard Parker's John Kenneth Galbraith: His Life, His Politics, His Economics over the holidays. Lately he's been excited by a book on sports stadiums given to him by one of his staff. He has an interest in architecture.
The films he sees are children's films. The last was Cars. He can't remember when he last went to the theatre but it was some time before the twins were born in 2003. He missed everything at the Sydney Festival this year except Jazz in the Park. He hasn't been to Opera Australia, Belvoir Street or the Sydney Theatre Company since becoming Premier. Iemma is holding to almost the only pledge everyone remembers him making: to stick to football, not opera.
In a long list of ways, this man isn't Bob Carr. He is not funny. Not sharp. Not an orator. Not confrontational. Since he took over almost 20 months ago, caucus has changed. "It's as if the headmaster has left the room," said one veteran of the place. "Carr ran a very tight ship. People didn't get up and have a go. They were too frightened. Now there is discussion rather than a sermon on the mount."
Iemma has let out of the box figures Carr had spent a lot of political capital trying to contain. Joe Tripodi is back and Michael Costa is Treasurer. And the new man has shed - for good or ill - a number of Carr's hard fought policies. Immediately on taking office, he gave tax breaks to real estate investors and followed with tax breaks for the clubs and short cuts for developers. The costs have run to hundreds of millions. Apologists for Iemma say he's simply "settling down" his constituency.
The pic fac over, Iemma got to his feet and the Gymea kids were called to order: "What about one more really big growl for Mr Iemma?" They obliged. He made his farewells and headed off across the wet playground. In and out, the whole thing had taken 14 minutes.
Next stop was Government House where his wife, Santina, joined him for the issuing of the writs. The election campaign that really began the day he got the job, was officially under way.
Controversies don't rage round this man's head. Friends and enemies say much the same about him. No one is particularly galvanised but they credit Iemma with endless hard work, winning skills and keeping clean on the long climb to unexpected success. And many remark that the big test will come when the man who keeps promises shapes his next cabinet. It's called the post-election probity challenge.
What's in store for Graham Richardson, who boasts around town that Iemma is his man? A friend of the Premier told the Herald: "A number of hard-luck-case developers have taken on Richardson, but the hilarious irony is that he is the last lobbyist that this Premier could intervene on behalf of - and Morris is smart enough to know it."
What about Obeid, who is aching to return to the cabinet after being dumped humiliatingly in 2003? Iemma won't be drawn. "I'm not going to speculate about individuals coming into the cabinet or not. I have to win the election." But in the days after that question was put to Iemma, a couple of calls came from deep inside the party to say Obeid won't be back in cabinet. That's the message.
Iemma's fundamental image of politics is fixing problems in the village. It's something he learnt from his father. "Back in the village, the sense of service to the locals - whether you're the church leader or the political leader - is very strong. He's still a big influence on me. Still today as he's going round putting up my posters, he will give me a piece of paper and say, 'Look this fellow needs a hand with this, can you give him a call?' Now I'm the Premier for the whole state but the electorate and the local community [are] still fundamental."
But what about the dark side of this kind of politics: trapping people in debts and obligations? "That's what he hated so much - the clique that ran the village. Your obligation is to help people in a way that will make a difference, not to pay debts."
He ambles through the prosperous bedlam of Saturday morning in Roselands. He's late but he doesn't rush. People stop him to say they're praying for him. They'll vote for him. Their boy went to school with him. At his side is an aide with a big notebook taking it all down: the names, the phone numbers, any little complaints. Morris Iemma is doing what he does best: working his patch.

REPORT: Fox News Silent On Anti-Gay Human Rights Crises
Fox News has been all but silent in reporting on major human rights crises facing gays and lesbians in Uganda, Nigeria, and India over the past few weeks, continuing the network's pattern of turning a blind eye to significant international stories about the LGBT community.
ANALYSIS: Fox News Underreports Passage Of Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Law
Uganda's Parliament Passed Law Criminalizing Homosexuality. On December 20, the Ugandan Parliament passed its Anti-Homosexuality Bill, criminalizing sexual intercourse between same-sex partners with a life sentence in prison. According to Uganda's Daily Monitor:
You engage in homosexuality, you rot in jail, according to the Anti-Homosexuality Bill passed by Parliament on Friday.
An excited Parliament debated and overwhelmingly passed the Bill which criminalises sexual intercourse between same-sex partners.
The legislation provides for a sentence of life imprisonment for anyone convicted of homosexuality, which covers gays and lesbians. A proposal to put the punishment to 14 years in jail was rejected by the House. [Daily Monitor, 12/20/13 [1]]
Fox News Spent 15 Seconds Mentioning The Passage Of Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Law. According to an Equality Matters analysis*, Fox News spent just 15 seconds covering Uganda's anti-homosexuality law between December 16 and December 27 compared to more than seven minutes of coverage on CNN and two minutes of coverage on MSNBC:
- Fox's Only Mention Of Uganda Was During A Segment On Justice with Judge Jeanine Criticizing Pro-Equality Activists For Focusing On Duck Dynasty.
Ugandan President Refused To Sign The Anti-Gay Law On Procedural Grounds. In a letter to Parliament dated December 28, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni declined to sign the anti-gay measure into law, stating that it was invalid because it was passed without a parliamentary quorum. [Daily Monitor, 1/17/14 [2]]
ANALYSIS: Fox News Ignores Passage Of Nigeria's Extreme Anti-Gay Law
Nigeria Passed Law Criminalizing Gay Marriage, Public Displays Of Affection. On January 13, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan signed into law the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act, which criminalizes same-sex marriage and civil unions, public displays of affection between same-sex couples, and pro-LGBT clubs, societies, and organizations. [UPI, 1/13/14 [3]]
Law Has Already Led To Reports Of Arrests, Torture. According to the Associated Press:
First the police targeted the gay men, then tortured them into naming dozens of others who now are being hunted down, human rights activists said Tuesday, warning that such persecution will rise under a new Nigerian law.
The men's alleged crime? Belonging to a gay organization. [Associated Press, 1/14/14 [4]]
U.S. Is "Deeply Concerned" Over Nigeria's Anti-Gay Law. According to a statement issued by Secretary of State John Kerry:
The United States is deeply concerned by Nigeria's enactment of the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act.
Beyond even prohibiting same sex marriage, this law dangerously restricts freedom of assembly, association, and expression for all Nigerians.
Moreover, it is inconsistent with Nigeria's international legal obligations and undermines the democratic reforms and human rights protections enshrined in its 1999 Constitution. [State Department, 1/13/14 [5]]
Fox News Ignored The Passage Of Nigeria's Anti-Gay Law. According to an Equality Matters analysis**, Fox News ignored the passage of Nigeria's harsh anti-gay law and the subsequent reports of arrests and torture of gay men in Nigeria during the period between January 6 and January 17:
ANALYSIS: Fox News Ignored India's Anti-Gay Supreme Court Decision
India's Supreme Court Reversed Lower Court Decision Decriminalizing Homosexuality. On December 11, India's Supreme Court overturned a lower-court decision that struck down the country's prohibition against "carnal intercourse against the order of nature." According to The Washington Post:
India's Supreme Court overturned a historic lower-court decision on homosexuality Wednesday, making gay sex a crime in the world's most populous democracy, with violators facing up to 10 years in prison.
The court ruled that a British colonial-era statute outlawing "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" was constitutional. Changing it should be left to Parliament, not the courts, the judges ruled. [The Washington Post, 12/11/13 [6]]
Fox News Ignored Supreme Court Decision To Uphold India's Ban On Homosexuality. According to an Equality Matters analysis***, between December 9 and December 20, Fox News failed to mention the Indian Supreme Court's decision declaring the country's ban on homosexuality to be constitutional:
Fox News Has Ignored Other Human Rights Crises Affecting LGBT People
Fox Ignored The Controversy Surrounding Russia's Anti-Gay Laws, Winter Olympics. In July and August of 2013, Fox News largely ignored the controversy surrounding Russia's strict new anti-gay laws, which could have an impact on the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi in February:
[Equality Matters, 8/7/13 [7]]
Fox News Ignored The Reemergence Of Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Legislation. Between October and December of 2012, Fox News ignored the reemergence of Uganda's anti-homosexuality law, devoting significantly more time to discussing the Korean pop song "Gangnam Style":

These 2 came in with a flock of bills this morning. I'm having a heck of a time figuring out what they are.
First this one. The bill reminds me of a sea duck. Slightly bigger than a drake bluebill. White wing patches.
And this one looks a lot like hen bluebill, but has gry speculum.

Representatives we spoke with from Gaither's camp last Friday were optimistic yet also realistic.
It was less than two weeks ago when Gaither officially entered the supplemental draft, just days after he was declared academically ineligible for the '07 season. On such short notice Gaither has had just ten days to train for his workout in front of NFL scouts. His main focus the past four months was trying to remain academically eligible and as a result, Gaither did not participate in spring ball with the Terps.
Gaither is projected to weigh in somewhere near 320-pounds on Monday, much lighter than the reports of his frame tipping the scales in excess of 340-pounds. His forty time should be in the low 5-second range. In the past Gaither has run as fast as 4.78 seconds.
The bench press is where Gaither may have a rough time and fall short of expectations. Twenty-five completed reps would be considered good at this point.
A number of league insiders we spoke with considered it a good sign the University of Maryland allowed Gaither to workout on campus and was helping coordinate his pro-day. The fact Gaither has not had a falling out with the school or team coaches is a positive in the minds of most.

A report has suggested that Microsoft are not planning on bringing a tablet-specific version of Windows to market until late in 2012, which will put them at a significant disadvantage when compared to rivals Apple and Google.
The report in Bloomberg today comes in the same week that Apple launched the second generation iPad and at a time when new Honeycomb tablets are launching every couple of weeks. Microsoft has not immediately replied to these reports but we have seen nothing that would suggest the predictions are not true. Last month we reported on Dell's tablet roadmap for the 2011 and 2012 with a tablet called the Peju slated for an early 2012 launch running Windows 8 - rather than Windows Tablet.
Microsoft's decision to make the next version of its OS that works on ARM's processors is seen as a reaction to the huge popularity of the iPad. Currently the tablets that run Windows 7 are not selling well and are aimed primarily at the corporate section of the market. Microsoft is working to update its Windows 7 operating system with features more tailored to the touch screens, size and battery life of tablet computers but until that arrives most tablet manufacturers will steer clear of the platform.
While it dominates the PC market, the Redmond-based company has struggled to gain traction in the mobile market with Windows Phone 7 coming to the table late and having some issues surrounding its first update. A proper tablet-specific version of Windows would certainly be popular but if it doesn't arrive for another 18 months it will be up against the third generation versions of the iPad and Galaxy Tab and second generation Xoom, TouchPad and Optimus Pad models.

Thread: Archery talk
Archery talk
I have been using archerytalk to sell some things,and I personally am tired of getting pounded and better yet beaten down by individuals who want you to give them the world for free.
I have nothing to clearly more add that,if you find someting for sale it's nice to barter to get a better price but,there is a difference in selling something for cheap and being cheap.
All my equipment in archery is somewhat in mint vendor condition.
I sell things just as much to help out the next archer who needs things.
I also take for granted that it's like a car,soon as it's off the lot,it goes down in value.
What I don't want to see is some kind of black market here on 3d shoots,if you got someone asking for something,by all means sell it reasonably fair.
Does anyone understand where I am coming from or is it just me.
3d shoots also is a proud sponser of Archerytalk,and needless to say,I have nothing bad to say about Archerytalk....
at all.....
It is the archers on the website that do not seem to understand that some of us like myself get shafted because george of the jungle sold his stolen bow for dirt.

I've shopped and bought through the classifieds of AT practically since I stumbled across it.
I never dicker over prices with anyone. I may wait and see if a price drops but I NEVER ask anyone to lower their price.
I guess your one of the nice guys,aye?
I do alot of selling on there and little buying..
but,maybe that's why I get the rub all the time.
I do think it has made my archery selections 99.9% better.
I also can say,there are so many archers on that website,it is quite insane that we all share such a passion and a place to communicate so well.

We had maybe a total of 2 hours of coverage during the orgy of beach volleyball called NBC's Olympic Coverage. I saw more of Misty's navel (and other parts) when my wife had the games on than I saw of archery.
Do you spend money playing or watching beach volleyball? I don't. I spend my money on archery! And I buy other things, too.
Some have said there would be more coverage if the vendors bought ad time, but that's patently ridiculous. They don't advertise footballs during a football game, they advertise beer and cars, things we in archery buy, too.
Why, when the sports channels I get on my satellite dish will carry so much crap I don't watch isn't there some descent coverage of archery?
I may spend a grand average of $1200 a year on archery, not counting range fees, but I spend $400.00 a month in car payments. Why should the guys I buy my car from buy ad time for sports I don't care about? They can afford a lot more air time than Hoyte, PSE and the rest of the bow makers combined. Hell, it's even a Korean car, so you know the parent company has an archery team (from what I hear every major Korean company does)!
Sorry to take off on a rant.

Price Haggling
I guess I am not following this Thread very well. I buy things from the Folks on ArcheryTalk from time to time, and I always thought that Haggling, within Reason, was all part of the Buyer/Seller Game.
If I see something that I would like to Purchase and I think its Worth the Price Asked, I wont argue. Then again, if I see something that I think I might get for a Lower Price I will Make a Reasonable Offer. Not to Insult the Seller, but to Save Myself a Buck or 2 in the Process. If the Seller doesnt go for the Offer, then I usually will Pay the Asking Price.
Kind of a "If You Dont Ask, You Will Never Know" kinda deal. It sounds like You have been Insulted by a Buyers Offer, and thats a Shame and I am Sorry for it. Then again, thats the Risk you take when Selling Anything, be it Archery Equipment or a House. Free Enterprise gets Ugly sometimes.
I dont want to Stir the Pot here, but I have done Business with Some Very Nice People on ArcheryTalk, and this Thread struck me as pretty Harsh. We All have had Bad Experiences at one time or another, no matter Where you go.
I am Sorry that You didnt fare well on ArcheryTalk in Your Dealings, but We arent ALL Cheap and Looking to Screw Everyone Out of an Honest Dollar.
I agree with the Televised Sport Comment, but what does that have to do with Buying & Selling?

[QUOTE=Shakes_602 I agree with the Televised Sport Comment, but what does that have to do with Buying & Selling?[/QUOTE]
It has little to do with buying and selling on AT, but when I saw 'insane' in an archery venue it made me think of how insane it is that I can watch cricket matches such as India vs. Pakistan on Pay-per-view but can't see coverage of any major archery event.

Here's a thought, how about saying in you add that "this is my final price", or "price non-negotiable"?

I spend a lot of time over there.
I've bought and sold things there too.
I might make an offer lower than the listed price based on this assumption. (Yea I know what that means) I sometimes list prices thinking someone may try to low ball me. I imagine that lots of sellers list their prices over their actual bottom dollar for this same reason.
If your firm on your price, state it in your ad.
Or tell buyers no on offers too low for your liking.

Our History
F&F Supply, Inc. was founded in 1941 by Benjamin Friedman and his son-in-law, Paul Fein (respectively, the great-grandfather and grandfather of the current owner, Gary Jacobs.) The Fein family had emigrated from Poland in 1939, where they owned a successful hardware store, to escape the Nazis' invasion and destruction of their homeland. F&F Supply became an immediate success at its original location at 935 East 163rd Street in the Bronx. Great service and competitive prices coupled with government contracts during World War II led F&F Supply to move to a larger facility at 925 East 163rd Street.
Benjamin Friedman left the business in the 1940′s while Paul Fein stayed until his death in 1961. Throughout the 1950′s through the 1980′s, F&F Supply was run by Sidney Fein (son of Paul Fein) and Robert Jacobs (son-in-law of Paul Fein). Under their leadership, F&F Supply continued to grow and became a major building supply distributor in the Bronx.
The success of F&F Supply was also due to Helen Fein, who actively participated in the day-to-day operations of the business from the 1940s through the 1970s. Following the death of Sidney Fein in 1989, Rita Jacobs (wife of Robert Jacobs and daughter of Paul Fein) joined F&F Supply. In 1992, Gary Jacobs, the son of Rita and Robert Jacobs, joined F&F Supply. Over the past 25 years, F&F Supply has become a major distributor of building maintenance supplies in the New York metropolitan area. The growth of F&F Supply coincided with its expansion into its current 40,000 square foot showroom/ warehouse facility in Hunts Point. This facility, coupled with our growing loyal customer base is the cornerstone of our expansion in this century.

Now here is the weird part. I never really paid attention before other than the first time this happened I zoomed out on the map just to figure out about where I was (and was surprised to find myself in another state). Today I happened to note some of the locations on the map and saw things like "Mercury Dr." and "Ford Woods Park". The words Mercury and Ford on the map? Google mapped and checked when I got into work and it turns out that this thing is placing me right in the heart of Ford-central each morning. Next time I am going to take a picture of the map and see if I can pinpoint exactly where it is putting me, at which facility exactly. Some Ford default location? Where my car was built? Where testing on MFT was done? Don't know but I have to figure it out.
Mercury Drive intersects Ford Road, Ford Woods park is off of Greenfield road north and east of Mercury Drive in Dearborn, Michigan.
There are a few Ford facilities near there, but the closest one I can think of off the top of my head is Regent Court, but there are others near there, although the Headquarters isn't exactly near that intersection (Ford Road and Mercury Dr.).
It wouldn't be near the plant, as the plant is west of there in Wayne, off of Michigan Avenue.

Kelly Clarkson on Beyonce's lip-sync: 'To each his own'
Listen to Kelly Clarkson on iHeartRadio
Beyonce definitely silenced many of the haters (and anyone who thought she might lip-sync at the Super Bowl) when she performed the National Anthem live for the press earlier this week, and now Kelly Clarkson has weighed in on the controversy.
Kelly called in to Saturday Night Online with Romeo and talked to DJ Maxwell about her experience at the inauguration (she admitted to being very nervous) and gave her two cents on Beyonce's lip-sync heard 'round the world. "Everybody is giving her such a hard time, but whatever, to each his own," Kelly says. "But I will say, from a person standing there having to do it - man, the event really isn't about us. The event is about the President, so I totally see why someone would be like, 'I don't wanna mess this up.'"
Check out the full interview with Kelly Clarkson below.

'A place from which to take the measure of the planet'
Glaciologists Tas van Ommen, left, and Mark Curran take ice samples at Antarctica to determine the Earth's weather thousands of years ago that may offer answers to today's climate and global warming.

Web links
SOMETIMES flat on their bellies, and frequently scrambling on their knees on Antarctic ice 1 kilometre deep and 100,000 years old, the two glaciologists drilling into the summit of Law Dome represent the front line of climate change science.
They are taking the temperature of the planet, extracting the data that underpins global debate on what is happening and what might be done.
Labouring in minus 31 degrees over six hours, Tas van Ommen and Mark Curran are gouging a column 10 metres deep into the ice, extracting cores in one metre lengths which they then painstakingly bag, label and pack into boxes for rapid shipment back to their laboratory. The data they take home may be invaluable Law Dome is renowned for the penetrating clarity of its climate record but the hole they leave behind is beautiful, exposing ice time as white through the spectrum of blue to deep indigo.
A few days earlier, they flew from their headquarters at the Australian Antarctic Division in Hobart direct to the ice with their colleague, Barbara Frankel, three of the first scientists to use the new intercontinental research airlink that shortens the usual weeks-long sea voyage south. Soon they were setting out from Casey research station on a 110-kilometre expedition deep inland eight bone-jarring hours following GPS co-ordinates across the vast polar expanse on an all-terrain vehicle with the look and ride of something from a Mad Max movie.
They then work late into the night taking full advantage of the unsetting sun, which hovers long and low on the distant horizon. Despite the plummeting temperatures, these are good conditions, they say, shaking their hands to life between tasks. On previous trips, wind and snow have made the work unbearable, frozen fingers immovable, forcing them to shelter in tents or the cabin of the Hagglund vehicle.
It will be almost 24 sleepless hours before field guide Rob Brittle negotiates the bump and slush of the frozen track back into Casey with the cores, the team exhausted but exultant after a mechanical failure almost left them stranded on the plateau 40 kilometres from home. They thaw off and shed glacier boots and goose down coats and find their bunks as the rest of the station rouses. It's a scene worlds away from the scientific forums where this data will one day be presented in neat graphs.
Their prize today seems relatively modest two boxes of ice holding about a decade of data. But used in conjunction with other recent climate measurements taken by satellites and weather stations and deeper Law Dome cores holding remnants of climate dating back 80,000 years, it becomes immensely powerful.
Salt residue from sea spray reveals the strength of long-exhausted winds, sulphur traces track the vigour of the biological world and chemical signatures provide a record of past temperature changes. What it means, Dr Curran says, is that we can travel back in time to reconstruct climate history, and project forward to anticipate its future. Every core, for instance, is exposing closer links between Antarctic conditions and the weather patterns effecting the Australian continent.
This is the value of Antarctica. "A place from which to take the measure of the planet," to quote American writer Barry Lopez. And a place in which extremity and isolation mean no such measure can be made easily, although the airlink has just allowed a quantum leap in access by shaving weeks off the return trip.
The Age has spent the past week with the Law Dome drillers and other scientists working from Casey on a range of projects exploring climate change, and is highlighting their stories to mark the opening of the airlink and the International Polar Year, a milestone collaborative effort involving thousands of scientists.
Beyond their Law Dome expedition, the glaciology team have devoted much of their time at Casey this week towards their next big objective a central role in the looming eureka moment of glaciology, the race for a 4-kilometre-deep, million-year-old ice core.
Such a project will involve an international team and tens of millions of dollars and the logistics are formidable, says Dr van Ommen, leader of the Australian Antarctic Division ice-core group. Issues include how to land and launch aircraft safely from deep field locations on unreadable ice terrain. Then come the complexities of how to support and run a deep-drilling operation in the remote Antarctic interior over several seasons.
Why do it? It's central to resolving some uncertainties that bog down questions of why the climate is changing and what might be done about it, Dr van Ommen says.
Questions like whether Antarctica will experience the kind of changes under way in the Arctic; about the dynamics and behaviour of ice sheets and the scenarios if they deteriorate; and about developing climate models with the narrowest possible band of uncertainty.
"If you can get your projections accurate, you can target your adaptations more effectively," Dr van Ommen says. "You can waste a lot of money adapting to anticipated changes that turn out to be quite different. You can make things a lot worse if you put the resources in the wrong direction."
Flying back to Hobart with his colleagues on the Antarctic Division's Airbus A319 last night, he hoped the cargo of Law Dome cores on board will provide some clues to that understanding.
And that by next Antarctic summer, the race for the million-year-old core would be under way.
Jo Chandler and Angela Wylie are visiting Casey Station on a fellowship from the Australian Antarctic Division.

A Summary of the HUD Homeless Pulse Report, First Quarter 2011
September 1, 2011
Today's post was written by Alliance research associate Pete Witte.
Last week, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the Homelessness Pulse Report: First Quarter, 2011, which attempts to provide a timely sense on how sheltered homelessness is changing in a number of communities. The major findings show that sheltered homelessness increased in three-quarters of the CoCs included in the report, but that the newly sheltered homeless population decreased in greater than half of the CoCs.
But, as is so often the case with data reports, in HUD's latest homelessness report the devil's in the details.
First, a little background.
HUD views the purpose of the Pulse Report as twofold: to disseminate data more frequently than theAHAR and to monitor progress against the Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness.
To this aim, the Pulse Report presents quarterly trends of homelessness data with a view on two data points: (1) estimates of sheltered point-in-time counts (i.e. "Are we ending homelessness?") and (2) estimates of newly sheltered homeless (i.e. "Are we preventing homelessness?"). These data points are analyzed at quarterly intervals ending with January, 2011 and are also broken into two subpopulations, members of families and individuals (though there are also minimal data on newly sheltered unaccompanied youth). The report provides data from a total of 23 CoCs (representing 361 counties and 422 cities). It's also worth noting that the participating CoCs are selected because they have a history of quality data.
Now, the details.
When looking at trends for changes over time among any data, two periods within a timeframe are used for gaining a better sense for what's going on within the data: the prior 3-month period (usually, the prior annual quarter) and the same 3-month period one year ago. With that in mind, the current report does not shed much light on trends in homelessness.
Here's why:
Again, the major finding in the point-in-time counts of sheltered homelessness is that the population increased in 75 percent of CoCs (between October, 2010 to January, 2011). However, this is probably mostly explained by the fact that shelter populations usually trend upward during this period due to cold weather. The other trend period analyzed is sheltered PIT counts at the 10-month interval, which shows that 75 percent of CoCs experienced an increase in sheltered homelessness (shelter PIT count dates in the Pulse are being realigned to match the January PIT counts so that 12-month intervals will be used in future Pulse Reports beginning with the Fourth Quarter, 2011). But the 10-month trend's usefulness is minimized by the fact that only four CoCs had data available to analyze for the report.
Among the newly sheltered homeless population findings, there was a decrease in 55 percent of CoCs (when comparing October to December, 2010 with January to March, 2011). The 12-month trend of the newly sheltered homeless population showed that 50 percent of CoCs experienced a decline in population. But, as with the sheltered PIT counts, the longest trend period had analyzed data for only four CoCs.
"So," you ask, "then what does it all mean?"
"Well," I finally get to the point and respond, "it means not much."
At least, as it relates to gaining a greater sense as to the "pulse" of the nation's homelessness problem, it means not much just yet. The only thing of import that we can definitively say about HUD's most recently released homeless data report is that sheltered homelessness increases—both overall and among newly homeless populations—during periods of cold weather. But we already knew this to be the case.
Well, we can also definitively say that future Homelessness Pulse Reports will be more informative beginning with the Fourth Quarter 2011 report. The alignment of the shelter PIT counts with the annual January PIT counts and the inclusion of a larger sample of CoCs in this Pulse Report are steps in the right direction. These changes to the Pulse Report will help to shed greater light on how well we are doing with ending and preventing homelessness. But all this is down the road when we are able to look at trends that are not affected by weather or whose impact is minimized by small sample sizes.

The ROTOR is the fastest and most powerful colony manipulation robot in the world. It is essential for any large-scale microbial functional or chemical genomic studies.
The Stinger is an automated modular extension to the ROTOR HDA robot for easy, ultra-fast rearrangement of high-density library arrays of yeast, other fungi, bacteria, and algae from colonies grown on solid agar or in liquid culture. It is designed for the picking and spotting of user-specified colonies from high-density arrays onto solid agars in 96-, 384-, 1536-, and 6144-density format.
Synthetic Genetic Array (SGA) analysis involves the manipulation of high-density yeast arrays to identify synthetic genetic interactions. In a typical SGA screen, a query strain is systematically crossed to an ordered array of deletion mutants, such that the meiotic progeny harboring both gene mutations can be assayed for growth defects. Identifying these interactions allows for the construction of large genetic networks, which reveal functional dependency and pathway redundancy in yeast.
Picking accuracy, or the ability to pick a microbial colony precisely without touching other unwanted materials, is by far the most important reason why we replace humans with robots for picking hundreds, if not thousands, of colonies in the lab. Robotic pickers provide consistency, repeatability, and are able to work for long hours.
However, not all robotic pickers are able to pick colonies with high accuracy. Many robotic pickers failed to pick with high accuracy for various reasons. That is why it is important to thoroughly test the picking accuracy of any colony pickers.
The yeast 2-hybrid (Y2H) assay is a well-established technique to detect protein-protein interactions. This is an extremely powerful tool for researchers and is often used alongside one or two other methods to examine the multitude of interactions that take place in cells. The assay is straightforward to perform and generates high quality results in a short amount of time.
We are carrying out broad genetic screens in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, for which the ROTOR HDA technology would be very useful. However, Chlamydomonas differs from budding yeast in cell size, growth rate, colony morphology and adhesiveness, and light responsiveness. Therefore, it was important to test specifically if the ROTOR HDA technology would work with Chlamydomonas.
Chemical genetics is the study of genes through small-molecule perturbation. Chemical genetic screening is a phenotypic screening methodology that systematically tests the efficacy of thousands of small molecules simultaneously. It is superior to target-based screening methodology for drug discovery because chemical genetic screening is unbiased and screens chemicals directly in complex cellular environment. Therefore, chemical genetic screening is an efficient way to discover and validate new drugable targets and identify potentially efficacious therapeutics.
E. coli Synthetic Genetic Array (eSGA) analysis involves the manipulation of high-density bacteria arrays to monitor bacterial genetic interactions. In a typical eSGA screen, a query strain is systematically conjugated to a genome-wide arrayed collection of single gene mutants. After rounds of robotic pinning and duel marker selection, E. coli strains harboring both gene mutations can be assayed for growth defects. Systematic and quantitative identification of genetic interactions allows the construction of large genetic networks, revealing functional dependency and pathway redundancy in E. coli.
We evaluate here the use of The Stinger single colony picker for agar to agar transfer of individual colonies of Chlamydomonas from 1536 and 6144 array densities. Specifically, we assess the accuracy with which The Stinger selects the desired colony within the source array, the compatibility of the pin material and transfer speed with the viability of Chlamydomonas cells, and the extent of cross-contamination between cells in the desired colony and those of the surrounding colonies.

Wine Milkshakes & Other Boozy Treats — Cheers!
The kids may be heading back to school, but summer's still cookin'. And while the young'uns are fine with a popsicle, grown-ups are opting for sweet frozen treats with a lot more kick.
Traditionally kid-centric summer staples like snow cones, milkshakes, and ice cream sandwiches are getting the booze treatment, reports USA Today. Wine shake? Beer pop? Cheers!
Diners at the Cheesecake Factory can order from the menu's "Spiked Shakes" section, which includes the Twisted Salted Caramel Pretzel (Absolut Vodka, Licor 43, caramel, pretzels and ice cream) or maybe a Flying Gorilla (a "kicked-up" chocolate-banana milkshake with Godiva chocolate and banana liqueur).
Oh, come on. You know you wanna.
USA Today also points to a growing popularity in wine shakes — yes, wine shakes — often ordered at burger chain The Counter, as well as ice cream sandwiches spiked with Jack Daniel's sold from select Coolhaus trucks (to adults only, of course), beer pops available at City Tavern in Culver City, Calif., and snow cones imbued with a shot of alcohol sold at various places including Houston's Hotel ZaZa.
"Adults enjoying sweet drinks is as old as Martha Washington's rum punch," the American Beverage Institute's Sarah Longwell tells USA Today.
Betcha George would've liked it better as a milkshake.

When developers first started to populate the Android Market, Google didn't have an in-house solution for in-app transactions. As a result developers turned to third party payment options, such as PayPal, Boku, and Zong. While this solved the problem of enabling payments inside of Android apps, the multiple competing payment platforms hurt the rate at which app users purchased items (the "conversion rate"), because not all potential users would have the necessary payment account set up.
To address this, Google is now pushing developers to adopt the use of Google Wallet for all in-app payments. Users that purchase apps already have a Google Wallet account by default, so while switching the payment type involves more upfront work for developers, it should also lead to a higher conversion rate.
Charles Hudson, of Bionic Panda is seeing that in action since his company switched from PayPal to Google Wallet last spring. He indicated that while they lost a few customers initially, they have seen "an overall lift in conversion and monetization on a per-user basis," since then. Hudson added. "Without having to choose your payment option it's closer to the one-click experience of the Apple iOS platform. The convenience factor would outweigh customer losses."
Not everyone has been as quick to change to the new payment system, and Google has started to send out notices that the current terms of use for the Google Play store (previously the Android Market) require the shift to Google Wallet. In some cases developers have received warnings that failure to comply could lead to delisting from the store until the app is updated.
Google gets a bigger cut of in-app payments from Google Wallet, taking the same 30% that Apple takes from their App Store. So the shift to Google Wallet could make Android more lucrative to the search giant. At the same time, studies have shown that in-app purchases have lagged significantly behind Apple's App Store, which means that Android app development has often been less lucrative, despite having recently caught up to Apple in the number of apps served.
That means the shift should benefit everyone – consumers will get a simpler, one-click way to make in-app purchases, developers should get a resulting increase in their conversion rate, and Google should get both a bigger revenue stream and an app ecosystem that helps make Android even more appealing to customers who dislike complexity.

In today's economic climate, people are becoming more inclined to save. Saving can be a complicated business initially, and there are always a lot of questions to ask- who to save with, what interest rate will I receive, how much of my savings will be tax free? All of these questions must be considered before committing to a savings account. This guide, brought to you by Moneysupermarket, is designed to make cash ISA's more understandable, and will hopefully help you to make a decision on how to
watch your savings grow.
Cash ISA's allow you to save a capped amount of money tax-free, which is understandably a desirable method of saving. Currently, if you're aged in between 16-50 you are allowed to save up to £3,600 annually tax-free
in a cash ISA account. When you hit 50 this allowance will increase to £5,100 per annum. However, as of April 2010, everyone will be allowed to save up to £5100 per year.
There is a wide-spread confusion about how much
you have to deposit into your cash ISA. Many companies allow you to deposit as little as £1, and you can deposit as much or as little, as frequently as you like. Other companies however, will ask you to deposit a certain amount. Remember, you are only allowed to deposit £3,600 tax-free throughout the year.
People often wonder about withdrawing the funds in their cash ISA account. There should be an option to open an easy-access cash ISA account, where you can withdraw your money whenever you please. However, by withdrawing before

end of the tax year you may be losing some of the tax-free privileges. Moneysupermarket says, 'you will lose the tax-free status on anything you withdraw, so it is worth keeping your money invested in ISAs for as long as possible and use any other savings first.' This will ensure that your interest rate is more likely to stay the same, as you can be penalised in this area if withdraw money from your account.
To get the best cash ISA accounts with the best interest rates, you should shop around before you commit to a savings account. Compare cash ISAs with an online comparison tool, like Moneysupermarket, so you
get a better understanding of the ISA's market before you open an account.

Pumpkin Cranberry Bread
I found mixing it in a blender to be incredibly helpful. I didn't have the mini pans required but experimented with a metal coffee can and it worked out well. Just remember to leave enough room for the bread to rise! Not only did my family love the recipe but also my co-workers! Yum! Thanks!
My family really enjoyed this
I did sub ff plain yogurt for most of the oil to cut the fat. The bread was moist and delicious.
Made these in a Texas muffin pan. Very moist on the inside with a crunchy top. Wonderful to pack in lunch box.
MMmmm....Good Bread!
I made these the other day, and not one loaf is left. My husband, who usually doesn't want anything to do with cranberries, gobbled this up. It is so good, and the cranberries give it a really good flavor.

This event has now passed - please visit our Conference calendar for future Abcam events
There has long been a connection between proteases and cancer biology, since these enzymes can endow tumour cells with the ability to invade and metastasize, or spread through the body. However, we now know that proteases are involved in a host of subtle regulatory mechanisms that determine the extracellular environment, and how cells respond to their environments, and in so doing they can control cancer cell growth and death, the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) that supply the growing tumour with nutrients, and also the ability of the immune system to detect cancers. It is this set of protease genes, together with their natural inhibitors, and the proteins with which they interact, that is called the DEGRADOME. We can only now appreciate that any attempt to understand the relevance of proteases in cancer must consider the extraordinary diversity and versatility of these enzymes in different contexts.
This workshop will combine the findings of the EU Framework 6 Programme on the 'Cancer Degradome' with those of other colleagues in the field. The focus will be on extracellular proteinases and their status as markers and therapeutic targets in cancer. The use of novel techniques to study aspects of their in vitro and in vivo functions will be a particular focus.
