Just over a week to go until thekey.to trade fair at Berlin Fashion Week and we can't wait... This is one of the most innovative platforms for green fashion, sustainable lifestyle and culture.
There will be a great mix of edgy fashion brands, eco classics, and great contemporary designs. Each of them also fulfils a number of criteria in terms of ethics and sustainability including use of sustainable materials and certifications in social standards.
Events at the fair will include an ethical fashion show, a new concept area for green shopping, workshops, and parties of course! Whilst slow fashion seems to be the more sustainable option, the conference will explore the contribution of speed, innovation and fresh ideas to green fashion with a panel that includes fashion Dr Otto von Busch, Professor at the Gothenburg University in Sweden, known for his artistic "fashion hacking" projects and Tamsin Lejeune, Director of the Ethical Fashion Forum.
We will be exhibiting and presenting our Po-Zu SS11 range at thekey.to acceleration from 8 - 10th July in Berlin, we look forward to seeing you there. You can find out more or register to visit here.

I make it my policy to avoid jumping to conclusions about anything and everything. I have no conclusion about a general who sends 20,000 emails to a woman while functioning as the commander in chief of armed forces engaged in a complex war. I assume the emails are his attempt to relax and enjoy himself which undoubtedly enables him to be more effective as a leader. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta wants the world to know "no one should leap to conclusions here. He (General John Allen) certainly has my continued confidence to lead our forces and to continue the fight." Amen.
I assume General Allen will not have any problem with members of his command sending a few hundred emails back home when they can catch a moment away from fighting the Taliban. Of course, there is always the possibility the Taliban have girl friends and are sending them emails.
Ah, for the old days when there was no email and generals wasted their time planning and planning and planning!

When developing any software it's important to make sure everything flows smoothly. This can be tougher when it comes to network connections as they're unreliable, especially on a mobile device where the connection can drop out frequently or can be extremely slow (if you're using 3G).
Aside from just chucking up an error message if there's a problem, good usability starts before you ever make your network connection. Using Apple's reachability class lets you easily see when your iOS device connects or disconnects from the net. You can also tell whether it's Wifi you're connected to or 3G, good for not downloading too much and eating up all the user's cellular data.
To do this, first download Apple's Reachability class. Include the Reachability.h and Reachability.m files in your project. Import the Reachability.h header into your desired file, then link your project with the SystemConfiguration.framework.
Now create a Reachability object. There are four different types, one for checking any internet connection, one for any wifi connection, and two for a connection between a host or IP address. In this example I will do any internet connection (probably the most common).
Reachability* reachability = [[Reachability reachabilityForInternetConnection] retain];
[reachability startNotifier];
Now to determine when it has changed, register an NSNotification observer
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(reachabilityChanged:) name:kReachabilityChangedNotification object:nil];
Finally implement the notification method
- (void) reachabilityChanged:(NSNotification*) notification
Reachability* reachability = notification.object;
if(reachability.currentReachabilityStatus == NotReachable)
NSLog(@"Internet off");
NSLog(@"Internet on");
The Reachability object lets you check the system's internet status through the currentReachabilityStatus property. There are three possibilities.
NotReachable: Obviously, there's no internet connection
ReachableViaWiFi: Wifi connection
ReachableViaWWAN: 3G or 4G connection
My most common use of the Reachability class is if a user tries to load a results page or something similar while their offline, if they come back online on the same page I then perform the network request on their behalf (rather than having them go back to manually resubmit).

International tobacco companies dominate Poland's cigarette market, holding almost 99 percent of the market share. In 2008, Philip Morris International held 38 percent of market share, followed by British American Tobacco (33 percent), Imperial Tobacco Group (23 percent) and Japan Tobacco (5 percent). In Poland, more than 63 million cigarettes were sold in 2008. Poland is a growing source of illicit cigarettes for other European Union countries.
Poland ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on September 15, 2006.
Smoke-free environments: Poland bans smoking in workplaces and public places, however the law allows for designated smoking rooms.
Advertising, promotion and sponsorship: Tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship is banned with few exceptions.
Warning labels: Warning labels are text-only and cover 30 percent of the front and 40 percent of the back of the package. Misleading descriptors such as "light" and "mild" are banned.
Tobacco taxes: Poland is obligated to meet tobacco taxation standards set by the European Union. Poland should continue to use increases in tobacco taxation and price to decrease tobacco consumption.

Nicki Minaj Talks Why Drake Left His YMCMB Camp Off His Album
Photo Credit: Powerhouse
Nicki Minaj recently spoke on an array of topics, but the one that really stood out, was why her and the YMCMB camp (Lil Wayne, Nicki) were left off of Drake's album NWTS. According to VladTV she also speaks about working on her next album and her Halloween costume.
It seems to me that Nicki may be hinting at some kind of problem in the YMCMB camp, and seems to be hinting a loyalty issue. You think there may be some sort of rift going on between Drake and YMCMB, especially with Drake starting his own label OVO? Would Drake be better off not affiliating himself with YMCMB and go his own way? Let us know in our poll below!

Check out the specs but I can't see where this device improves significantly on my Kogan 7" tablet which runs Gingerbread, also has a capacitive screen and can be bought on ebay for under £100.
They are comparable devices, certainly. Not sure where you can get it for under £100 though, as Kogan retails for around £150 in these post-release times - unless you're talking about "proper" auction listing. The main differences are the dual-core processor and GPS (which, as far as I can see, the Kogan doesn't feature). The carry case and USB converter cable are also neat additions.
I will admit to a slip of the keyboard here - I actually meant to bemoan the lack of Honeycomb primarily, not Gingerbread. Not something good to get mixed up as a tech writer, but hey, we're all human.
Kogan Agora is only £119 + p&p direct from Kogan UK.
Jonty and Al, you're not comparing like for like. The Time2Touch HC701A Tablet has a Dual Core Cortex A9 Processor and has Full HD 1080p playback ,with a standby battery time of 7 days and active battery time of 6.5hours. I'm afraid the product mentioned above doesn't even come close.
I was simply pointing out that the Kogan is a lot cheaper, runs Gingerbread and is similar in some important ways. It's true the Kogan uses an A8 processor, but I'm not so sure that would make a lot of difference. And, given that the battery life and video playback of the Time2Touch is questioned in the review, is it really worth the extra? Perhaps it is, but as price is such an important factor at this end of the market I'm sure my original comment was valid.

Newbie here looking for advice / recommendations.
I'm developing a site on a PHP / CodeIgniter framework that will allow users to upload photos to their personalized pages. There are several images placements with different aspect ratios in the layout that need to be met. Can anyone suggest a script that will meet the following criteria.
Variable aspect ratio depending on needs. Matching thumbnail generation Lightbox or popover display for upload Crop / Resize / Zoom during upload Large image handling – dimension and file size
Example: The user will be asked, via a lightbox interface, to upload a "banner" style photo. Upload an image that might be 2500×1800 or larger. The crop area would display in the necessary cropped aspect ratio to match the layout needs 1000×250, allowing the user to zoom as they desire and save. Script would also generate a smaller thumbnail in the same 4:1 ratio.
Thank you for any recommendations.
Hi Willderso,
There are very good uploaders here on Codecanyon, but I will recommend you to check this uploader and this image Resizer and cropping tool:http://tutorialzine.com/2013/05/mini-ajax-file-upload-form/ http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/projects/timthumb/
Both are free and works amazing.

The orchestra Arte dei Suonatori was formed in Poznan (Poland) in 1993 by the violin players Ewa and Aureliusz Golinski, who gathered together a group of the most talented young Polish period-instrument performers. The core of the ensemble were originally Polish string and continuo players, but over the years the orchestra has become more international, featuring as regular members musicians from, among others, Germany, England, Holland, France and Ireland.
Since 1998, the orchestra has initiated an extensive series of early music events which very quickly evolved to become "Early Music – Persona Grata", a festival which is now well known throughout Poland. Arte dei Suonatori is also the co- creator and co- organiser of several other festivals, including "Music in Paradise" in Paradyz, 'Haendel Festival" in Torun, "Baroque Bows and Strings Festival" in Poznan and "Three Baroques Festival" in Wroclaw.
The orchestra regularly cooperates with distinguished soloists and conductors from all over the world, with whom they appear on some of Europe's best known recording labels, including BIS Records, Alpha and Channel Classics. Many of their recordings have been awarded with the prizes, such as Diapason d'Or, Choc du Monde de la Musique, Luister 10, 10 de Repertoire, Classics Today, Classic CD, and their disc of Vivaldi's "La Stravaganza" featuring Rachel Podger as soloist, was honored with the title "Baroque disc of the year 2003" by Gramophone magazine. Arte dei Suonatori's most recent recording of Handel's Concerti grossi op.6 with Martin Gester has also received very high critical acclaim, including: BBC Music Magazine "disc of the month".

My Disasters, Natural and Otherwise
The earthquake came and went. A little shaking, no worse for the wear, though Clink tells us in an upcoming podcast that she was a bit shaken (pun intended). Then there was Hurricane Irene, and while the talk is now on how the media exaggerated, a quick walk around my neighborhood revealed 3 streets blocked by falling trees and two houses with trees on them. I'm happy to report that my house is undamaged, but we've not had any power for a while now, and I'm blogging from a clinic workstation. So much for 'natural disasters.'
Aside from this, I have had my own technologic demons. Twelve days ago I took a quick flight to visit a family member. On the way back, I placed my belongings on the security belt. A guard popped out and told me to put my laptop in a separate bin, and I did. I then walked through the body scanner. It wasn't the usual metal detector devices, but one of those new strip-you/radiate-you body scans, and I'm not sure I've been through one before-- I usually manage to go through the 'other' line, but that day there was no other line. A sign offers the option of a 'pat down' but I'll be scanned and go, thank you. So I raise my hands like the picture shows, I hear a click, and thinking the "xray" is over, I put them down. Oh, it takes long than that, and now I've "moved" in the scanner. A security guard jumps in front of me, blocks my way and there is a call for a female security guard.
"My stuff!" I say, starting to head towards the belt.
"Don't go near your stuff," he barks. Oh, it's not like I could walk through him anyway. "Did you move in the scanner?" he asks. Yes. That's why. Can't I walk through again? No. I'm now a potential terrorist. A female guard in purple latex (?) gloves shows up and recites her poetry about the pat down and how she uses the back of her hands over certain body parts. Do I want a private room? No, just let me move on with my life. I'm molested and cleared, and pointed in the direction of my stuff sitting on the belt. I grab my suitcase, purse and shoes and move on. After an unremarkable flight, I arrive home eager to check my email. Where is my computer? Oh, no, I last remember seeing it when I placed it on the security belt. Because the battery had died, I had no intention of using it on the plane, but I don't remember ever putting it back in my carry-on suitcase after security. I call the airport and it's not there. I call again in the morning and there is a laptop, found at the same checkpoint, around the same time, but it's a different make and would be hard to confuse with my Macbook, especially given that I left a couple of USB chargers plugged in.
I rant. I rave. (Roy says I do this well). And somewhere in there, my wireless at home zorks and I can't access the internet from my desktop. Verizon says it's the computer. The next day, another tech and other evening on the phone (thank you to my husband) and they decide it's the modem, not the computer. A new modem comes and things are back on line, an hour or so before we shut down for the hurricane which knocks out the power.
So ranting and raving and many calls to TSA, and five days later they review the security tapes. There I am, but the table where the items items are placed as they come through the scanner is a white blotch, completely obscured by way the sun's glare. There is no way of seeing if my computer came through or if someone picked it up.
In the meantime, I remember that my computer has anti-theft software on it. I call to have it activated, and I see my own path with the computer, but there is nothing to indicate that it has been turned on since the battery died the morning of my flight. Friends assure me that anti-theft software can be de-activated.
And then there is the issue of the computer that was left around the same time. Isn't that weird? Someone left a computer at a security checkpoint and no one has called, 12 days later, to ask about it. I keep thinking this has to be related, that someone grabbed the wrong computer, stuck it in their bag, went on vacation, and either hasn't noticed, or hasn't thought to link it to the airport security process. I ask TSA to turn it on and see who owns it. The battery is dead (what is it with these travelers and their dead laptop batteries) and they are looking for a charger. If they will tell me the make and model of the laptop, I offer, I will send them a charger. It does feel like a series of unfortunate and unlikely events.
Apparently they have a bunch of laptops and somehow TSA doesn't have the sense of urgency that I do. Plus, my TSA agent assures me, the laptop was logged in 45 minutes after I went through the security scanner, and there is no way a computer can sit there for that long without the TSA agents noticing it. I just can't find another story that would easily explain the disappearance of my Macbook, unless I put my laptop back in my suitcase and don't remember this (I was a little distracted after the whole security event) and someone on a full flight took my suitcase out of the overhead bin in the hopes of finding something valuable? Other than the TSA belt, and placing my suitcase in the overhead bin for the flight, it was never out of my sight. I usually keep the laptop in a separate bag, but since the battery was dead, that bag was in the suitcase and made it home.
It's time to buy a new computer and 'move on' but I'm concerned that the moment I do that, the old one will show up. One friend says I must have tremendous faith in people to think that might happen, and I do. Seems to me that if you set out to steal computers, you wouldn't do it on an airport security line in front of agents and a camera. I'm feeling very unplugged!
Update on Wednesday 8/31:
After 12 days, TSA turned on the laptop that was left at the security checkpoint shortly after they ascertained that I was not carrying a bomb anywhere too obvious. On day 13, they located the owner, a college student who had no idea where her computer had gone and she did not have my missing MacBook. I believe my relationship with my personal TSA agent is now over. I'm not sure if I should be annoyed about the whole process, or after reading about Steve Silberman's unsuccessful attempts to get his Kindle back from United Airlines, if I should be grateful that at least I had a live person to talk to, one who answered his cell phone while he was taking his daughter to college, and who responded to email messages and was eventually moved by my incessant nagging (who, me?).
I had to do a last sweep before I move on. I realized that I'd called the local airport twice and left messages at baggage claim, and that both messages had been returned by someone saying they had not found a computer. I'd left two messages for the airline--AirTran, with details about my flight, and I had never heard back. Before I spring for a new computer, I thought I would try again, because you never know if my computer could have slithered its way out of my suitcase and been found in an overhead cabin just sitting there. I was determined to speak with a human.
After a number of phone calls and a little surfing, I did eventually find a human at both airports that I went through. No computer. Only no one knows where else the plane may have gone. Is there a centralized Lost & Found for items found on planes? Sort of maybe, I was put on hold and after 10 minutes called back. "I taking another call" the same woman said. She suggested I call back in 10 minutes, at which time she was able to tell me that 4 laptops were logged in, but that my MacBook was not one of them. One baggage claim employee suggested I could call all 52 airports that AirTran flies to. Oh my.
My final stop was at Traveler's Aid in the airport I departed from. They were very nice and read me the list of items that had been turned in for several days after my departure. No MacBook, but I did ask if I could have the fishing pole. If you're missing a green purse, a cell phone, sunglasses, or one of several suitcase, you left them at an airport.
Time to move on. And yes, I'm sure I will fly again. Next month, in fact, with very few valuables. Friday I will be computer shopping. Would you like to weigh in on my next computer? Clink says I should get a refurbished Macbook, Roy says a MacBook Pro, Jesse votes for a MacBook Air, and AA suggests a netbook for travel. And no, the lost computer did not have patient information on it. As Jesse would say, "cold comfort."
The video above is made to make you laugh, I hope it doesn't offend anyone.

Cadillac News: REPORT: Slow-selling Europe-only Cadillac BLS euthanized
Filed under: Europe, Cadillac
In a move that can only be described as "What took so long?" Autotelegraaf reports that Cadillac has pulled the plug on its BLS. The BLS, of course, was the front-wheel drive smaller Cadillac that was only offered for sale in Europe. We say "offered" because sales of the BLS made the old Cimarron look like a home run by comparison. The BLS was little more than a re-bodied Saab 9-3 in either sedan or wagon form, and it was built alongside the aformentioned Swede in Trollhättan. Cadillac spokesman Klaus-Peter Martin has confirmed with us that production actually quietly ended in June.
The BLS never came close to hitting GM's 10,000 unit per year sales target and with the parent company divesting itself of Saab, it only makes sense to kill off the model. While dropping the BLS, General Motors is adding its CTS Sportwagon which is expected to help boost CTS sales in estate-happy Europe, as will a 2.9-liter V6 diesel engine option.
Later next year, the lower end of Cadillac's lineup is expected to be filled out with a new rear-wheel drive ATS which will hopefully prove to be a much more viable competitor.

Manchester United Supporters Trust are collecting a "fighting fund" for the possible legal defence of United supporter Thomas McKenna, who has been the subject of a legal writ from the club. McKenna published details online of United's corporate clients and the club are seeking damages through the High Court. Yesterday a club spokesman said their action was in defence of "data security" and that "doing nothing was not an option".
McKenna is an opponent of the Glazer family's ownership of United, as is the trust, whose chief executive, Duncan Drasdo, said yesterday that the supporters would stand in solidarity with McKenna. "United fans have always stood together when one of their number is attacked," he said, "and this situation should be no different – United we stand. We are collecting a fighting fund for the possible defence of any Manchester United supporter should the owners decide to pursue this aggressive litigation strategy while continuing to refuse to even talk to supporters."
United, however, are determined to pursue their legal action against McKenna. A spokesman said that the companies listed had sustained damage as a result of his actions and the club was obliged to act. United have asked the courts for damages from the 44-year-old, as well as asking that he return or destroy the information, and have sought an injunction to prevent him publishing the information again. Drasdo said that "it is hard to see what the point of this legal action is".
"The theft of data," a spokesman said, "led to some of the companies named on the list having their property attacked and suffering significant personal distress. The club has a duty to demonstrate to all our fans that we will not tolerate that and will take action against the perpetrators. We take data security very seriously. Doing nothing was not an option."
McKenna posted the information of Manchester United's clients in April last year, on a website that was linked with the anti-Glazer group United Supporters for Change.
The United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, is to meet the BBC director general, Mark Thompson, in an attempt to resolve his long-running feud with the corporation. The meeting comes at the behest of the Premier League, and was arranged by its chairman, Sir Dave Richards.
Ferguson has not spoken to the BBC since 2004, when it broadcast a documentary about Ferguson's son Jason, then working as an agent. The United manager is fined by the Premier League every time he refuses to speak to the corporation, under new rules introduced this season. Ferguson has said he will speak to the BBC again only once it has apologised.

Star Facts
- Jahmene looks great in a suit - no matter what colour it is
- His nervous little giggle is the cutest thing in the world. Fact
- He got four yeses on his first audition
- His mum cries nearly every time he sings
Jahmene Douglas gallery
Jahmene Douglas might just be the cutest X Factor contestants we've ever known.
The 21-year-old did an amazing job of knocking everyone's sock off at his first audition, when the Swindon lad sang Etta James' At Last.
Jahmene had been the bookies' favourite at 5/1 to win the show leading up to the weekend, but on durign boot camp viewers were kept on the edge of their seats after the singer put in a lacklustre performance of Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger. Ahead of the performance, Jahmene admitted he had never heard the song before and didn't even know who sang it. He said: "I just wasn't confident with the song at all... there wasn't much else I could do."
And shortly before his second boot camp performance, Jahmene was usffering with such terrible anxiety, he nearly couldn't perform. Luckily, after a quick pep talk from Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger, he pulled himself toggether and nailed The Shirelles' Will You Love Me Tomorrow. Jahmene came runner-up to James Arthur during the X Factor final.

When you are a grown up and read my messages, please don't think that daddy and I neglected you for three months because there is not a five- or six-month letter. The recurring theme of "no time" since you entered our lives may be getting a bit stale, but this new pace still is throwing me for a loop.
I am kicking myself for not writing to you since August, afraid that I've already forgotten some of your milestones. I'm still working on striking the balance between being your mommy, having a full-time office job, being daddy's wife, and occasionally finding a few moments for myself. I know it will all work out, though. It always does. We're blessed like that, our family. I try to count those blessings every day. Sometimes I just look at you and stare, thinking, "Are you really my baby?! I actually get to keep you?!" It always fills me with such happiness knowing you're mine.
Here's a little play-by-play of where we're at:
- You are a sturdy little guy, and can sit up beautifully. You've been able to do this pretty well since you were about five-and-a-half-months old.
- You have been eating solids since you were about five-and-a-half-months old, too. We were going to wait until six months, but you were eyeing our food with so much longing, that we caved. "Cooking" for you has been a ton of fun, and I make all of your food from scratch. So far you've tried oatmeal, sweet potatoes, bananas, pears, green beans, avocado, peas, butternut squash and puffed cereal.
- You eat almost everything with an incredible amount of gusto. You easily put away an entire half of a large Haas avocado or pear for dinner on a regular basis. Sometimes you pound on your high chair and shout for more food in between each bite. And you reject butternut squash with nearly the same amount of passion. You hate it. You throw your head back, scream, and spit it back at us as if your life depended on it. I keep trying to feed it to you, because everything I read says you may change your mind after 15 or so tries. I'm not so sure. It's hard to calm you down after you taste it, too, and help you realize that we're moving on to something you actually like. It's a little ridiculous, really!
- We give you a sippy cup filled with water at each meal, but you don't really drink out of it, yet. You mostly just chew on the handles.
- Even though you really chow down on the solids, your sleep still is hit-and-miss. Some days you sleep for eight- or nine-hours straight. Other nights you're up every three hours. A little more consistency in this area would be greatly appreciated.
- Your two bottom teeth cut through right as you turned six-months-old. (One the day before, and one the day after.) This was pretty traumatic for all of us and there were a lot of tears and buckets of drool. Once they were in, though, you calmed down.
- You vigorously chew on absolutely everything you can grasp. There must be more teeth on the immediate horizon.
- You are starting to pay more attention when we read to you, and like to turn the pages of the books by yourself. Your favorite book right now is Peek-a-Baby. (Of course, I'm just guessing, but your attention is completely undivided when we read it.)
- You like to sit independently, grab at your books and play with your own toys. You can do this for about 15 minutes before getting too bored and needing someone to pay more attention to you.
- You are beginning to consistently use sign language for milk. I didn't think it was true when daycare told us you could do this, but now it happens almost every time you want to nurse or have a bottle. It's very cool and I love it! I can't wait until we can communicate more with you.
- When you use your voice, it often is in the form of a very, very high pitched squeal or scream. You smile and giggle after you make these screechy noises, so we don't think you're upset, although you nearly take out our eardrums with each outburst. We like the soft, sweet babbling you do much better.
- Daddy and I dressed you as a very adorable monkey for Halloween. I went as a snow leopard, and daddy was our zookeeper. We had a small party at our house and let you stay up much later than usual (it was just too noisy with all the other kids for you to go to sleep). You also got to wear your costume at school in a parade, and have fun with your friends painting pumpkins in your classroom. The other babies got really messy, but daddy had to encourage you to really dive into the paint. You don't like to be very messy. When you get food on your hands while you're eating, it seems to bother you a bit, too. In this sense, you are just like your daddy, who I affectionately refer to as Colonel Clean.
- This past week marked your first real sickness and fever. Daycare called and had us pick you up on Tuesday. You have to be fever-free for 24 hours with no medication before you can go back. It's Saturday morning now, and your fever finally was gone as of last night. Daddy and I alternated staying home with you and it has not been fun for any of us. You felt so miserable. All I wanted to do was make you feel better, but my bag of magical mommy tricks kept coming up empty. You cried a lot and just wanted to be held, but soon that stopped working and you were inconsolable. In fact, you were so fussy that you bit me twice while nursing. I almost went through the roof because it hurt so bad, and when I yelped, you melted down worse than I've ever seen. I hope you get over this behavior quickly.
- This morning you woke up and seemed back to your regular, smiley self. It is such a relief to see you feeling better. You fill our house with a tremendous amount of joy and laughter, and daddy and I can't imagine life without you. Watching you grow is just awesome, and we can't wait to see what you do next.
I love you,

I know the firearm has to be, just wondering if some states require the mags to be concealed too. If the mags were to be visible, that would take away the element of surprise with the BG as well as maybe being illegal - I don't know - I know I keep mine concealed.

Budapest residents remember locals' role in Holocaust
By Marton Dunai
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Tamas Marton was a Budapest schoolboy in 1944 when Hungarians allied to Nazi Germany helped to deport half a million Jews, including his mother, to death camps.
Seventy years on, as Hungarians still grapple with the past and many support the far-right Jobbik party, the government finds itself in conflict with the Jewish community over Hungarians' role in the Holocaust.
The Open Society Archives brought that role to the fore on Saturday, opening up to the public 76 buildings where Jews were gathered during the war. Many were either slaughtered on the spot or transported to death camps.
In the courtyard of one building, Marton, now 84, talked to about 100 people about his personal memories.
He said he watched helplessly as Hungarian fascists deported his mother from their home in an ornate building in central Budapest. She was first taken to rural Hungary. When she escaped and came home, an informer reported her.
"A day after she came back the building manager showed up with a fascist commando and took her away again," Marton said.
"She was deported to the camp in Bergen-Belsen and died there, two days after the camp was liberated. She received food and her eviscerated body could not handle it."

Court to review Armstrong case
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas appeals court has temporarily blocked an arbitration panel from reviewing $12 million in bonuses paid to Lance Armstrong by a company that wants its money back, stopping efforts to force him to give new sworn testimony about his doping past.
SCA Promotions has sought to reopen a 2006 settlement paid to Armstrong since his 2013 admission to using performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career to win the Tour de France.
The arbitration panel that first approved the settlement agreed to reconsider the case, and a Dallas judge last week rejected Armstrong's attempts to stop it. The panel set a March 17 hearing and SCA's attorneys wanted to question Armstrong under oath on Thursday.

America has the safest food supply in the world, and it has never been safer. The rates of food-borne illness have been declining for more than a decade. Still, tragic outbreaks do occur and government can take common-sense steps to make our food supply even safer.
Unfortunately, highly publicized events such as last summer's egg salmonella scare often have the opposite effect. Politicians tend to overreact to a crisis and impose new and invasive regulations. Soon, the law of diminishing returns takes effect with billions in extra spending having little impact, or even a negative impact.
The so-called FDA Food Safety Modernization Act of 2010, which the Senate will vote on after Thanksgiving, only expands a disjointed, duplicative and ineffective food safety bureaucracy. The Government Accountability Office has consistently called this bureaucracy "high risk due to (its) greater vulnerabilities to fraud, waste, abuse and mismanagement."
Far from offering common-sense reforms, this bill doubles-down on the status quo — which failed to prevent the salmonella outbreak — with 250 pages of new bureaucracy and regulations. Expanding the Food and Drug Administration will harm small businesses and raise prices at the grocery store — all without having a meaningful impact on food safety.
Throughout the debate, proponents have claimed we haven't modernized food safety laws in 100 years. That proves my point. For the past 100 years, the free market, not the government, has been the primary driver of innovation and improved safety. Consumer choice is a far more effective accountability mechanism than government bureaucracies.
I am offering an alternative bill to require better coordination among agencies and improve badly outdated information technology systems and other processes agencies use to protect our food supply. My plan leverages the free market by utilizing private inspections and allowing the FDA to focus on bad actors.
Rather than spending billions of dollars, forcing food companies to comply with new regulations, and saddling consumers with increased food prices, we should pursue reforms that will allow regulatory agencies to more effectively and efficiently prevent outbreaks. When Congress returns, my colleagues should reject the false assumption that growing government means safer food and instead promote market forces that work.

As promised, here's a marked-up graph of Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS) stock performance since March of last year, courtesy Jason Kraft and Chris Kwak of Susquehanna Financial Group.
From a high of
nearly $70 to today's share price of $50, Electronic Arts hasn't been knocked about quite as hard as competitor
Take-Two, but the company's investors have certainly been taken on a roller-coaster like ride through the year. The bad news is that the bad news may
not be over yet.
Financial performance is a lagging indicator of customer preference for a company's
products. If EA's hurting, it's because gamers (that's all of us!) are simply not buying their products to the extent
that we once were. Every time we write about EA a reader always writes in to criticize the company's products for being
derivative and unimaginative. It's therefore tempting to suggest that gamer fatigue is finally hitting EA in the
pocketbook. There's so much else going on here, though, that such a conclusion would be premature.

Foreword by Noreen Clough, B.A.S.S. Conservation Director:
It may be that we too often partition ourselves as anglers — either bass or walleye, freshwater or saltwater. But when it comes to access to fisheries, we are all in the same boat. That's why I feel it's important for bass anglers — and all anglers — to be informed when it comes to sportfishing in general. It's why I also participate in both the Freshwater and Saltwater Government Affairs committees of the American Sportfishing Association (ASA). The failure of the provisions in the current Magnuson/Stevens act has led the National Marine Fisheries Service down a slippery slope. The Nelson/Rubio bill is a very practical, positive step in allowing both recreational and commercial fishing to continue while the necessary scientific information is acquired to properly manage these fisheries.
Below is what several agencies, including ASA, issued as a press release in response to this matter.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — With a Dec. 31 deadline looming, support is surging for legislation to ensure that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service uses sound science to set catch limits for the nation's fisheries as a Senate version of the Fishery Science Improvement Act was introduced Nov. 28 by Senators Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
As amended in 2006, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requires Regional Fishery Management Councils to put in place annual catch limits (ACLs) for every fishery by Dec. 31, 2011. The requirements were intended to end overfishing by 2011 but were predicated on these two critical assumptions: catch limit decisions would be based on up-to-date and accurate stock assessments; and there would be improved catch data to better anticipate potential problems in a given fishery. Neither of these obligations has been met.
"Fishery management decisions should be based on sound science," Sen. Nelson said. "This legislation will ensure that science is a priority."
"It's a simple formula," said Sen. Rubio. "Regulatory decisions, if necessary, should always be based on sound science. This legislation provides a simple answer to fishermen and to fishery managers."
Bipartisan original co-sponsors of the Nelson/Rubio Bill (S.1916) include Oceans Subcommittee Chairman Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska); Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus Co-Chairman Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.); Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.); Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska); Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), and Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.).
Similar to legislation introduced in the House by Rep. Rob Wittman (R-Va.) and 34 bipartisan co-authors, the Nelson/Rubio Bill has the backing of a broad coalition of fishing, boating and industry groups that see a critical need for federal managers to avoid an unacceptable situation in which arbitrary deadlines are being allowed to trump the essential need for science-based management of our marine resources.
The Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus — the largest bipartisan, bicameral caucus in the U.S. Congress with nearly 300 members representing all 50 states — has lent its powerful voice to call for this legislation that will safeguard the strong conservation standards of the Magnuson-Stevens Act while addressing the shortcomings within NOAA Fisheries. The bill has the support of American Sportfishing Association (ASA), Center for Coastal Conservation (Center), Coastal Conservation Association (CCA), Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF), International Game Fish Association (IGFA), National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and The Billfish Foundation (TBF).
To maintain the Magnuson-Stevens conservation tenets, the Nelson/Rubio Bill would not apply to stocks that have already been determined to be overfished. However, it offers key components that are intended to steer NOAA Fisheries back to the true intention of the 2006 MSA reauthorization. The bill states that if NOAA Fisheries has not done a stock assessment on a particular stock in the last six years, and there is no indication that overfishing is occurring, an annual catch limit on that stock is not required.
"The legislation is critical to sportsmen from coast to coast to coast," said CSF President Jeff Crane. "NOAA Fisheries needs this discrete legislative fix to ensure that recreational and commercial fishermen are not left at the dock because of the agency's lack of science."
The federal government currently has approximately 528 fish stocks or complexes of stocks under management, and today only 121 of those stocks are considered "adequately assessed." If the agency does not have the data to even hazard a guess about an ACL for some species, there is currently an option for the agency to simply remove those stocks from all management protections, which is not a desirable result. The Nelson/Rubio Bill provides a timely path for NOAA Fisheries to manage all of America's marine fish stocks based on sound science.
"Conservation of our marine resources is important to anglers, so much so that we demand a level of confidence and trust in the federal fisheries management system," said Jeff Angers, president of the Center for Coastal Conservation. "The Nelson/Rubio Bill strengthens the ties between science and the rational management of our resources. The ultimate goal of this bill is to achieve sound management practices that make economic sense for the country, conservation sense for the resource and common sense for anglers."

It's a Country Music Summer at Gaylord Opryland Resort
It was another awesome live broadcast from the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. I usually get to do two a year–one in the summer, one around Christmas time. Last summer, the hotel was still recovering and rebuilding from the flood that devastating much of Nashville in May 2010. I was able to return last November and this past Thursday I was joined on the air by the director of public relations for Gaylord Opryland, Jenny Barker along with marketing and PR coordinator Rob Regg. They shared all the scoop about Country Music Summer at Gaylord…and a sneak peek at what we can look forward to this Christmas.
There are so many great features of Country Music Summer at Gaylord. And you can find out everything you need to know at gaylordopryland.com. My two favorites would have to be Country Look-Alike Breakfast and Dive-In Movies.
Country Look-Alike Breakfast takes place at Gaylord's amazing Mexican restaurant, Solario, on Saturday and Sunday mornings. And sometimes you might even see "Garth Brooks" and "Trisha Yearwood" strolling the halls. Guests have even been known to get pictures with them, not knowing they're impersonators. Hilarious! It reminds of me of when you're in downtown Nashville and you see all these guys walking up and down Broadway with their western shirts and cowboy hats and people stop and kind of peer at them to see if they're anybody famous. Hey, they could be!
Okay, this one blows me away. And it's so simple. You take a great big movie screen, you put it up out by the pool next to the hotel's Magnolia section, and everyone in or around the pool can watch movies. I love this! Dive-In Movies happen 7 nights a week from 8-10pm and will feature such blockbusters as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", and "Catch Me If You Can." Not only is it an incredibly cool idea, the movies are terrific.
Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center offers some terrific specially-priced packages. Take a look and then take advantage, especially if you're looking for a stay-cation type idea for the summertime. You will NEVER be disappointed with Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center.

We explore the cross-sectional pricing of volatility risk by decomposing equity market volatility into short- and long-run components. Our finding that prices of risk are negative and significant for both volatility components implies that investors pay for insurance against increases in volatility, even if those increases have little persistence. The short-run component captures market skewness risk, which we interpret as a measure of the tightness of financial constraints. The long-run component relates closely to business cycle risk. Furthermore, a three-factor pricing model with the market return and the two volatility components compares favorably to benchmark models.

The education of the U.S. national team under Jurgen Klinsmann moves to its toughest test with a match against the very best: five-time World Cup champion Brazil.
Many of the names and faces will be the same from two years ago when the USA renews its series against Brazil Wednesday in Landover, Md. (8 p.m. ET, ESPN2, TeleFutura), yet the trajectories of the teams have changed.
As it did when the nations met to resume competitive play following the 2010 World Cup, Brazil has brought a lot of young players. It is using a series of four games -- this is No. 2 -- as preparation for the Olympic soccer tournament, a U-23 competition. Though many of the players are based domestically, teams such as AC Milan, FC Porto, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur are among those attached to names on the roster.
Its brightest star, Neymar, scored one of the goals when Brazil beat the USA, 2-0, in the Meadowlands in August of 2010. The other goalscorer that day, Alexandre Pato, is on the current team as well, as is prolific Porto striker Hulk, who scored twice Saturday as Brazil kicked off its quartet of matches by beating Denmark, 3-1, in Germany.
Thus the U.S. back line that cruised through a 5-1 pasting of Scotland Saturday isn't likely to experience many leisurely moments. Nor will it face an opponent as inexplicably patient as Italy, which in losing to the U.S., 1-0, in February rarely cranked up its attacking tempo until it fell behind in the 55th minute, and despite its rich attacking talent failed to score.
Apparently the Italians believed their class would eventually prevail, but by playing a cultured yet determined game of their own, the Americans persevered. To cope with Brazil, they'll need ample doses of the same patience, intelligence, and spirit that edged them past Italy, and a great game from goalkeeper Tim Howard wouldn't hurt the cause.
One vital facet of that victory over Italy is how well and how often the Americans were able to control the ball when they got it, and though their possession game will need to be much sharper and quicker against Brazil, the confidence borne of outlasting one of the world's great soccer nations can inspire them against the five-time World Cup champion.
However, while Brazil's breathtaking magic in attack is its most revered trait, it is also renowned for long, seemingly languid periods of possession that suddenly erupt into a scoring chance. Neymar's pace can burn the best defender yet the Americans also have to be wary that the next touch can be the one that springs him or Hulk or any one of several other players. Brazil preys on lapses in concentration, which inevitably occur as opponents grow weary of chasing shadows in what former U.S. coach Bob Bradley called the "shell game" Brazil plays so well.
As if trying to contain Brazil's mesmerizing array of midfielders and forwards isn't a daunting enough task, the defenders can play, too. While there's not a comparable marauding outside back a la Roberto Carlos or Cafu, centerback David Luiz – who just helped Chelsea win the UEFA Champions League – is a superb passer who is very difficult to effectively press. Stifling balls out of the back is another in a long list of U.S. objectives.
Klinsmann has a few more players available then he did against Scotland, though Clint Dempsey's groin injury seems likely to keep him out of the starting lineup and Jozy Altidore only arrived in camp Monday. Terence Boyd got the job done carving out space as a lone forward against the Scots, but a more mobile and experienced Herculez Gomez could get the nod versus Brazil if Altidore is deemed unready. The addition of a second forward is another option, though getting caught short in midfield against Brazil is usually costly.
The coach also has alternatives in the middle should he want to test out different partnerships in midfield and in the back, though Brazil is not the ideal component for extensive tinkering. Oguchi Onyewu, who came on as a sub against Scotland, could be paired with Carlos Bocanegra to give the Americans their most experienced centerback pairing. The ball skills of Michael Parkhurst would be valuable as well.
Eight of the men who played against Brazil under Bradley two years ago are on the current roster. There are also several returnees from the 2009 Confederation Cup final in which the U.S. jumped out to a 2-0 lead before succumbing to a 3-2 defeat.
Regardless of personnel, Klinsmann will want the same level of confidence and poise his players have shown in the past few games. Those are essential elements against players of greater class and skill, which the Americans have already proven can be dealt with.
