Chicago (AFP) April 15, 2013
A lengthy battle over the controversial Keystone XL pipeline, which aims to funnel oil from Canada's tar sands to coastal Texas, heads to the most hotly contested area along the route Thursday.
Hundreds of people are expected at a public hearing in Nebraska's environmentally sensitive Sand Hills as the US State Department prepares its recommendation on whether to approve the $5.3 billion project.
While the final decision rests with US President Barack Obama, the State Department concluded in a draft report last month that the rerouted project -- which avoids the Sand Hills -- would have no major impact on the environment.
Environmentalists and concerned landowners along the nearly 3,200-kilometer (2,000-mile) route vehemently disagree.
"We do believe that we can stop the pipeline," Jane Kleeb, director of the advocacy group Bold Nebraska, told AFP.
But the battle is already half lost.
After nearly four years of fighting for approval of the entire project, TransCanada stripped the southern portion out of its presidential permit application and began building the renamed Gulf Coast pipeline last year.
Once that begins operations later this year, TransCanada will be able to start shipping tar sand oil from Alberta to Texas using a pipeline that came online in 2010 to serve refineries in Oklahoma and Illinois.
What's left for Obama to decide is whether TransCanada can increase its capacity from 590,000 to 1.4 million barrels per day by adding a second line -- Keystone XL -- along the northern route.
--'The dirtiest fuel on the planet'--
It's not yet clear what Obama will do, especially now that he no longer has to walk a careful line between competing interests while seeking a second, and final, term in office.
Obama has long favored an "all of the above" approach of expanding oil and gas production while investing in green energy, and he embraced the southern end of the pipeline in a campaign appearance in the oil depot town of Cushing, Oklahoma last year.
Environmentalists are hoping he won't be swayed by the new route or the State Department's assessment and will instead look at the broader impact of increasing US imports of tar sand oil.
"It's inconsistent with an administration that wants to fight climate change to unleash production of the dirtiest fuel on the planet," said Danielle Droitsch of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Unlike traditional crude, which gushes out of a well, tar sand oil needs to be dug up and essentially melted with steaming hot water before it can be refined into useable petroleum products.
The State Department estimated that the process produces 17 percent more greenhouse gasses than the average barrel of crude refined in the United States, but concluded that the pipeline would not result in increased emissions because Canada would simply sell the oil someplace else.
Given the obstacles operators have encountered trying to build new pipelines in Canada, it's not clear that is the case, Droitsch said.
Nor does the threat to groundwater disappear just because the new route avoids the Sand Hills, she said, because it still crosses over 1,000 bodies of water, including the massive Ogallala aquifer, which reaches eight US states.
"We are not dealing with conventional oil here. This is stuff that actually sinks in water," Droitsch said, noting that the Kalamazoo river in Michigan has still not recovered from a 2010 spill of more than 800,000 gallons of tar sand oil after an Enbridge pipeline burst.
--'The case for Keystone XL remains strong'--
Pipelines nevertheless remain a far safer way to transport oil than rail, truck or ship, TransCanada spokesman Shawn Howard told AFP.
Keystone XL will be equipped with industry-leading safety technology that includes the ability to isolate a problematic section within minutes with remote-controlled valves and 21,000 sensors, which will report pipeline conditions every five seconds.
"We continue to believe that Keystone XL will be approved," Howard said.
The pipeline has undergone the most extensive review in US history and more than 12,000 pages of published analysis have "asked and answered" questions about the environmental risks and the need for the project, he said.
"The case for Keystone XL remains strong," Howard said in an email.
"In fact the longer it is delayed, the stronger the case for approving Keystone XL becomes, since the US refineries who need the product we will deliver to them will not have some of their current supplies (i.e., Mexico and Venezuela) in the next couple of years."
Key facts about the controversial Keystone XL pipeline
Here's some key facts about what's at stake.
Keystone XL is an expansion of TransCanada's existing system to funnel oil from Alberta's tar sands to refineries in the United States. The initial $7 billion proposal in 2008 was to build a second pipeline from Hardisty, Alberta that would cut through Montana to meet up with TransCanada' existing line in Steele City, Nebraska and then add on a new southern leg to bring the oil to refineries in Texas. But after years of delays, TransCanada separated the southern portion of the pipeline into a new project that did not require presidential approval and is currently under construction. What remains is a $5.3 billion proposal to build a 1,179-mile (1,897 kilometer) pipeline from Alberta to Nebraska.
Alberta's tar sands are considered to have the 'dirtiest' oil on the planet. Unlike traditional crude which gushes out of a well, tar sand oil needs to be dug up and essentially melted with steaming hot water before it can be refined into useable petroleum products. This means a lot more fossil fuels need to be burned as part of the extraction process, which further contributes to climate change. It also results in huge lakes of polluted water and the strip mining of millions of acres of once-pristine boreal forests. Environmentalists also argue that it contains a harmful and corrosive component -- bitumen -- which makes pipeline ruptures or leaks more likely and carries a greater health and safety risk. Since it is heavier than traditional crude, tar sand oil is also harder to clean up because it sinks rather than floats in water. There was also significant opposition to the initial route because it passed through Nebraska's environmentally sensitive Sand Hills wetlands and over a huge and critical aquifer which serves eight US states.
The $7 billion proposal was welcome news to a nation suffering from the 2008 financial crisis and the worst economic downturn in decades. The State Department estimates the current $5.3 billion project will create 42,000 temporary jobs over the one to two year construction period, of which 3,900 will be direct construction jobs. Opponents note that just 35 permanent jobs would be created for pipeline maintenance and argue that the project will kill more jobs than it creates by diverting investment away from more labor-intensive green energy alternatives like wind and solar power.
"Drill baby, drill" was a common chant at Republican political rallies ahead of the 2008 election and many Americans still believe climate change is a farce. TransCanada argues that bringing another 830,000 barrels of oil per day from friendly, neighboring Canada would reduce US dependence on the Middle East and Venezuela by as much as 40 percent. Opponents argue that Keystone XL will have no impact on energy security because much of the oil will be shipped to refineries that produce diesel in tax-free foreign trade zones and end up being exported to Europe and Latin America.
TransCanada argues that buried pipelines are a far safer alternative to transporting oil than ships or trains and claims to have "one of the best safety records in the industry." It also notes that there are more than 2.6 million miles of oil and natural gas pipelines in the United States "that deliver 99.9998 percent of their products safely and reliably every day." The pipeline will also be equipped with 21,000 sensors that provide updates every five seconds via satellite and the ability to isolate a problem within minutes through remote-controlled valves. Critics note the existing Keystone pipeline developed a dozen leaks in its first year of operation, including a 21,000 gallon spill in North Dakota.

Wearable Camera Allows Pets To Post Their Own Instagrams
Pet food brand Nature's Recipe has unleashed a lightweight camera that allows pet owners to view the world through the eyes of their furry companion.
Premium dog and cat food brand Nature's Recipe has launched a digital campaign that allows pet owners to bring their dogs or cats into the world of digital photo sharing through a lightweight camera fastened onto their collar.
The pics can be edited and shared via digital scrapbooks on the campaign site, and further shared through standard social media channels using the campaign hashtag #RecipeforMoments. The campaign kicked off with influential pet owners, such as standup comedian Jeff Caldwell and blogger Maggie Marton, participating and sharing their scrapbooks with the brand's online community, and is being rolled out to the broader community through weekly sweepstakes in which lucky brand enthusiasts will win a camera, from now until March 2014.
JWT-owned digital agency Digitaria, public relations firm Hill + Knowlton Strategies, media agency Starcom and social agency VaynerMedia all took part in bringing this campaign to life.

Date: January 14 2013
Australian bond futures prices are higher, broadly holding onto gains achieved during weekend offshore trading.
At 1630 AEDT on Monday, the March 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 96.560 (implying a yield of 3.440 per cent), up from Friday's local close of 96.545 (3.455 per cent).
The March three-year bond futures contract was at 97.160 (implying a yield of 2.840 per cent), up from 97.140 (2.860 per cent) previously.
Australian bond futures contract prices rose in weekend offshore trading, moving in line with a rally in the US Treasury market particularly longer dated bonds.
During the local session, bonds were supported by weak economic data which showed job advertisements were down 3.8 per cent in November and the number of new housing loans slid 0.5 per cent in the month.
"Whilst the ranges have been relatively narrow, I think overall the market has found just a little bit of support today on the data," ANZ head of interest rate research Tony Morriss said.
However, a more positive picture out of Europe, coupled with upbeat economic data out of China in recent days, kept demand for fixed-income assets "relatively muted", Mr Morriss said.
Also, some investors had chosen to remain on the sidelines ahead of Australian jobs figures due out later in the week and inflation data out next week.
"I see limited scope for our market to rally too much before labour force on Thursday," Mr Morriss said.
Also, US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke was due to speak at the University of Michigan.
The event is scheduled to start at 0800 Tuesday morning (AEDT), with market players looking for more clarity on the US central bank's intentions regarding its quantitative easing program.

Mischa and Mandy Eye Up 'Vanity Fair' Portraits
Beckham-bashing Mischa Barton and burn-victim befriending Mandy Moore showed up to the Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913-2008 Grand Opening at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Tuesday night.
Mischa has been doing the rounds at various events lately. Her swag bag collection must be priceless by now.
Mandy has a keen, artistic eye; it makes sense that she'd show up just for the aesthetic value alone.
Also at the event were Rosario Dawson (who seems to keep bumping into Barton at these things), Jesse Metcalfe, Illeana Douglas and new mama Minnie Driver.
After the unveiling, stars headed to the Sunset Tower Hotel bar, where newlyweds Scarlett Johannson and Ryan Reynolds held court among fellow diners Courteney Cox (taking the cue from BFF Jennifer Aniston, who's been there two nights in a row with a rekindled John Mayer), Vanity Fair editor in chief Graydon Carter and actress Kelly Lynch.
And, hey, if there's an opening for a security guard or tour guide or anything at the museum, Minnie could use the work…

The Economy, The Cap, & Some Guy Named Vinny
by Mike Chen on 01/15/09 at 04:01 PM ET
Comments (0)
Most economists are predicting that the current recession, which we've been in for more than a year, will start to see some recovery after the second quarter of 2009. If that's true, and if jobs are created instead of lost and spending is up by consumers, then we'll have some return to normalcy in about two years—though it'll be a trickle-down effect, at least when it comes to sports.
(Thank you, two quarters of economics in college.)
Look, I'm no financial expert but I try to stay abreast of big-picture issues enough to know whether things are getting better or worse. And assuming the timeline for getting better fits those predictions, then I think we'll actually see a two-year span where the salary cap stays around the same area within a $3 million tolerance (most likely in the negative). However, slash-and-burn thoughts of the cap dropping to $40 million overnight are impossible. Think of it this way:
-Revenues for October 2007 to June 2008 pushed the cap to $56.7 million
-The recession began in the last quarter of 2007
-Bettman and co. predict that cap for 09-10 will remain roughly in the same area, if not drop a little bit
-2008's sales numbers hit record lows
-Some economists say that the worst of recession may be over as 2008 closes, beginning of recovery in second half of 2009
Assuming there's a bit of a lag effect on the recovery's effect on the NHL, then we should see the cap for 10-11 go into a similar "same range or slightly worse" prediction as consumer spending should gradually pick up in Q3 2009 and hopefully the holiday season. This type of spending starts with necessities, then trickles into the entertainment dollar.
My point with all this—and yes, there is one—centers around one Vincent Lecavalier, he of the non-stop trade rumors and monster salary.
Let's say that conservatively, the cap loses about $4 million over the next two seasons but the global economy shows signs of growth and a cap raise in 11-12 appears likely. Going into the valley of this (10-11), this theoretical cap would be about $49 million. At that point, the maximum player salary (20% of the cap) would be $9.8 million. Cap hits are averaged out over the life of the contract; in Lecavalier's case, his cap hit would be $7.73 million, or about 20% less than the cap maximum.
With all that in mind, I don't think it's impossible to take on the type of cap hit or commitment Lecavalier commands. With some simple cap maneuvering, the whole becomes feasible and not terribly unreasonable from a dollars and cents perspective. Whether a team would actually want to do that from a talent perspective is up to them.
If there's any money that would restrict a Lecavalier move, it's the total loss that the morons running the show in Tampa Bay would incur. For them to even think about moving Vinny after the way they've alienated what had grown into a strong fan base, well, that's just stupid. He's the face of the franchise, the most popular athlete (not just hockey player) in the region, and a known part of the community. Moving him, for whatever reason, is the ultimate cut-your-nose-to-spite-your-face gesture, unless they get Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin in return. The amount of money the team would lose in ticket sales, merchandise sales, and sponsorships would sting in the short-term but the long-term damage to the team's reputation and fan relations would compound the losses exponentially.
Are they dumb enough to do it? Yep. They lied to Dan Boyle so why wouldn't they lie to Vinny Lecavalier?
No, what this team needs right now is stability. On the ice, Rick Tocchet appears to be gaining some measure of that. Off the ice, well, there's nothing more suicidal to the organization than jettisoning Vinny.
So in short—is it feasible from a cap perspective? Yes, even considering the big picture of recession and recovery. Would any sane person do that to their marketplace? No, but no one ever claimed that Oren Koules and Len Barrie ran their team like a sane person.
(And if any financial experts out there want to chime in on my cap reasoning, either to support it or debunk it, go for it in the comments.)

Those hoping to catch the Derek Jarman exhibition at Tate Modern this afternoon may have got more than they bargained for as Topshop took over the gallery's vast Turbine Hall to unveil the latest collection from its Unique label.
Visitors to the Tate were invited to watch from the balcony, and from windows on the floors above, as the great and good of the fashion world took their seats below. They were joined by supermodel and long-time Topshop collaborator Kate Moss who launches her latest collection for the chain in April.
Notoriously shy, Moss did not appear to be phased by the masses who had taken time away from their Sunday afternoon out to watch her take a seat on the front-row. Accompanied by Sir Phillip Green, she sat alongside half-sister Lottie who attended the London Fashion Week show for the first time.
The result was a tourist attraction like no other, equipped with pulsing electro-beats, Anna Wintour and it's very own supermodel.
Topshop Unique collection
When it came to the clothes, Topshop kept the entertainment coming. The collection showcased the brand's ability to fuse ahead-of-the-curve design with the needs of it's discerning customer. It was heavy on colour and high on energy.
Playing with texture, Topshop unveiled faux-fur tabard tops, delicate lace dresses and an oversized metallic puffa-coat which looks set to delight when it arrives in store next winter.
In many ways this show was about rebellion- thigh-high boots were worn with thigh skimming cotton tabards while embellished stocking tops left little to the imagination - but there was a sense of maturity on offer here too. Vinyl pencil skirts in earthy tones of olive and chestnut came teamed with cable-knit sweaters and stiff shirts. A series of oversized tote bags, carried under the arm, enhanced the idea that these were clothes for a cosmopolitan woman - albeit one with a playful streak. It's little wonder the Moss sisters approved.

text: Hi, I have packaged a few drupal modules for use on the upcoming fedora insight. I only noted that drupal 6 in EL is actually called drupal6 when Eric brought it up in the flexinode [1] review. This is a little messy: EL-5 and EL-6 now have two separate packages drupal (which is drupal 5) and drupal6. They are installable in parallel. Fedora has a Package called drupal which really is drupal 6. Fedora has a bunch of drupal-modules called drupal-modulename with a version of 6.x-1.2 (which is what upstream uses to show that this is for the drupal 6 range). Eric suggests in the review [1] that I call the package drupal6-flexinode-1.2 instead of drupal-flexinode-6.x-1.2 - but that name would only work for EPEL as the other drupal modules which are already in Fedora are following the 6.x-1.2 naming scheme. I'm not very experienced wrt. EPEL packaging so I may be missing best practices here but having a completely separate drupal stack for EPEL (with two reviews per package ...) feels very wrong to me. Not sure how feasible it is wrt. the progress of fedora insight but I'd think that the best way forward would be to leave EL-5 on Drupal 5, update the drupal package in EL-6 to Drupal 6.

Does the following addition to the allow_in_form description help? I'm
adding it to the 3.2.0b3 documentation. Unfortunately, that won't help
for existing 3.1.5 users, but I could add it to the web site's attrs.html

configuration attribute names, for purposes of passing data from
the search form to the results output. You're not restricted
to the existing attribute names. The attributes listed in the
allow_in_form list will be settable in the search form using
input parameters of the same name, and will be propagated to
the follow-up search form in the results template using template
variables of the same name in upper-case. You can also make select
lists out of any of these input parameters, in the follow-up search
form, using the build_select_lists configuration attribute.

About M.B Kedia Dental College
The national statistical data shows the availability of the dental surgeons is very low as per to their demand. So, in order to fulfill this deficits the founder are inspired to come up with the concept of establishing Mahabir Prasad Brij Lal Kedia Dental College at Birgunj to fulfill the void of not having any specialized Dental Care Hospital in a radius of 200 kilometers and ultimately of the whole terai region of Nepal.
The college is well-known in Nepal and abroad as an institution for dental education. The college always puts its effort for the assurance of high level of quality and maintenance of standard against national and international grounds. It is one of the most renowned centers in the field of dental education in the Terai region and ultimately Nepal.

Modern Manglish: Gobbledygook Made Plain
Neil James, Harold Scruby, Alan Moir
The information superhighway brings more text to our door than ever before. It's just that most of it gets mangled along the way. Twenty years ago, Harold Scruby's original Manglish became an instant bestseller. This version preserves some of his classic Manglish examples with mostly new material from the shame files of the Plain English Foundation. Modern Manglish explores the traditional linguistic traps of mixed metaphors and mispronunciation, new words and old cliches, and euphemisms, tautologies, and jargon. It also exposes the latest Manglish in serially offending professions such as politics, business, and the law. When exactly did we all become 'stakeholders seeking to leverage our paradigms to achieve best-practice scenarios moving forward'? Alongside these are the newest contenders for the Manglish crown, ranging from sports talk to silly signs, from IT speak to Twitterese, and from food speak to fancy-pants job titles. For your delectation and perhaps chagrin, here are the worst excesses of Manglish in 21 handy chapters, illustrated with more than 60 cartoons from Australia's premier editorial cartoonist, Alan Moir.

Health officials have declared an end to the measles outbreak in Salt Lake County.
But there's still some cleanup to do as epidemiologists wind down their disease monitoring and accountants tally the final tab to be picked up by taxpayers. The outbreak the largest in Utah in more than a decade may also give rise to public health policy changes.
"Our position is there should be exemptions for those who have medical reasons," said Gary Edwards, executive director of the Salt Lake Valley Health Department. "But this outbreak brought to light the impact that exemptions for personal reasons can have on the entire community."
Edwards announced on Tuesday that the nine-person outbreak is over, with a 28-day quarantine concluded and no suspected cases on the horizon.
"We are still receiving reports of rash illnesses, and we'll follow up on these," he said. "But as far as a full-blown measles investigation, it significantly scales back."
County epidemiologists logged 3,000 hours interviewing more than 12,000 people identified as having come in contact with the virus. And they placed 184 residents in voluntary isolation or quarantine.
The agency's costs, to date: $130,246.
The outbreak started with the unimmunized children in one family who traveled to Poland to retrieve a missionary.
The ripple effects included quarantines at four public schools in the Granite School District, which spent $10,000 hiring substitutes to fill in for teachers who had no immediate proof of immunization. Dozens of students were sent home, missing assignments and exams along with sports games, proms and other events, said district spokesman Ben Horsley.
One infectious person was discovered to have attended two large community gatherings, prompting health officials to issue a warning to anyone who had gone to those events.
Lost wages, time off work and unforeseen medical expenses are among other costs to families whose lives were disrupted.
And beyond that is "the fear and anger of thousands of people who feel their rights have been compromised by a few," said Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay, who is weighing reforms to the state's immunization law.
To attend public school in Utah, children must show proof that they are up-to-date on their shots. But parents can seek exemptions for philosophical and religious reasons, or if a licensed physician determines that a specific vaccine would endanger a student's life or health.
"I'm not sure how much political capital I want to invest in something that's bound to stir up a hornet's nest," Moss said. "But at same time, there's a lot of interest in the community here."
Instead of an outright ban on personal exemptions, Moss is considering imposing a fee on families who choose to skip shots. The fee similar to taxes on other health nuisances, such as cigarettes could be used to fund outbreak containment efforts, she said.
Salt Lake County boasts a relatively high vaccination rate, which Edwards said was integral to stopping the highly infectious disease from spreading further. More than 97 percent of the county's school-age children are fully vaccinated against the measles.
While commendable, that leaves about 17,300 children unprotected not to mention the thousands of infants and people with compromised immune systems who are too young or sick to be vaccinated, Edwards said.
There is no treatment for measles, and Salt Lake County data underscore that vaccination remains the best defense.
A majority of the county's confirmed cases were at two schools, where nearly 23 percent of the unvaccinated kids caught the virus and only 0.1 percent of vaccinated children succumbed to it, said Edwards, noting that's in line with national statistics.
Widespread use of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine led to the eradication of measles in the United States in 2000, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Even people who aren't vaccinated benefit from what's known as herd immunity, which slows the spread of the virus.
Today's outbreaks are imported from areas where vaccines are less popular, such as Africa and Europe.
"Because there continues to be measles outbreaks in other parts of the world and across the country," said Edwards, "it is nearly impossible to definitively say that we will not see any more measles cases this year."

JVC Professional Products (Wayne, N.J.), a division of JVC U.S.A., has entered into an agreement with Optex, Inc., to market an IP Perimeter Protection Solution that integrates JVC's line of V.Networks PTZ IP cameras with the new REDWALL REDSCAN RLS-3060 synthesized intelligent PIR (SIP) detection system. JVC announced the partnership at the International Security Conference & Exhibition 2009 (ISC East) at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.
�"Our IP Perimeter Protection Solution is ideal for high security applications, from law enforcement and education installations to power plants, ports, and other vital areas," said Geoff Anderson, JVC marketing and brand manager for security products. "Combining REDWALL REDSCAN laser and SIP sensor products with JVC IP video surveillance produces immediate results while optimizing manpower and keeping operating costs in line. We are proud to be working with Optex to deliver this kind of intelligent surveillance system."
"With the increase demand in IP perimeter detection, it is with great pleasure that Optex is able to team up with an industry icon in dealing with IP solutions," said Jim Quick, president of Optex. "The REDWALL REDSCAN laser scan and SIP sensors are the newest outdoor detectors from Optex, and provide a powerful solution for intruder detection and prevention using a JVC IP video surveillance system."
V.Networks cameras, such as the VN-V686WPBU outdoor PTZ dome camera, include JVC's latest image processing circuitry to provide sharp images with high contrast and good color saturation for 24/7 operations. JVC's efficient compression technologies conserve bandwidth without sacrificing image quality.
The REDWALL REDSCAN RLS-3060 processes object size, speed, and distance data using a unique algorithm to provide highly reliable detection of people with minimal false alarms. With four programmable detection areas linked over the IP network to the video surveillance system and PTZ camera controls, there are no blind spots, and the RLS-3060 is ideal for expanding intruder detection capabilities with easy installation and setup. REDWALL SIP detectors also offer wide angle detection with incredible precision.

When I first heard this album, it blew me away. I then headed on over to Metal Archives and wrote a glowing review for it, because I felt it was my duty to spread word of this awesome band and their debut effort. However, my opinions have changed slightly now that I've had time for the inner hype to die down. This is a great album, or at least a good one, but now that I've had time to think, I have to say it's not as perfect as once thought. The tracks sound the same at first, and the album doesn't last very long, but the musicianship and overall quality is great.
This album does have quite a few strong points. It opens with a fast, attention-grabbing track, "Altar of Corruption," and it never slows down from there. The guitar solos are fast, heavily whammied, and distorted, the rhythm guitar sounds appropriately evil and dirty, while the drums and bass pound away underneath. Vocals are high black-metal-esque shrieks, though a little more decipherable than most true black metal artists, which I find is good. The lyrics expressed by these shrieks don't cover a lot of new material as far as I can tell (e.g., Altar of Corruption is a religion-basher) but they are still decent and not all of them have a clear meaning, which leaves them open to interpretation.
Unfortunately, these strong points grow to be monotonous. The entire album is like the first track, and although Razor of Occam obviously aren't the only artist with an album like that, there is not quite enough variation here to make it worthwhile to listen to the entire thing. Here, perhaps, is where the short length becomes good. RoO kept this album short and sweet, and made sure their brutal black/thrash formula didn't overstay its welcome. Each song on this album is great, but put together the differences begin to blur. So, keeping it around 35 minutes long was a great way to prevent the listener from being bored to death. Still, this puts the album at quite a few minutes shorter than a lot of albums are, so if you've got 15 bucks to spend at a record store, this isn't the best deal out there.
But all in all, this is a powerful debut by an artist that I hope will not disappoint in the future. Yes, there were flaws, no, it's not a masterpiece, but it's a step in the right direction for sure. A little more differentiation between the evil, apocalyptic riffs and these guys could go to great lengths.

WASHINGTON At least 110 banks have requested more than $170 billion from the Treasury Department's rescue fund, and many more are expected to have submitted applications before Friday's deadline.
The requests would come from the $250 billion the Treasury set aside from the $700 billion fund to purchase stock in banks.
Analysts at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods estimated that 62 banks have received full or preliminary approval from the Treasury for $173 billion from the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The government said Monday that American International Group Inc. also would receive $40 billion from the program.
That $40 billion, however, won't come from the $250 billion set aside for the banks.
Another 48 banks have applied for about $6.5 billion, according to the Keefe, Bruyette & Woods report. Several banks that have filed applications said they haven't yet decided whether to accept any funds.
The tally doesn't include requests from four life insurance companies that are seeking regulatory approval to purchase savings and loans in order to become eligible for government funds.
One of those companies, Hartford Financial Services Group Inc., said it would be eligible to receive between $1.1 billion and $3.4 billion if its purchase of Federal Trust Bank is approved. Generally, only banks and savings and loans are eligible for direct investment from the TARP. AIG is the only nonbank company to receive such funds so far.
The total also doesn't include American Express Co., which said Monday it has restructured as a bank holding company, reportedly to seek up to $3.4 billion in funding.
Publicly-held banks were required to file their applications by Friday. Private banks have been given an extended, though unspecified, deadline.
Industry sources expect a flurry of last-minute applications will be filed Friday. Treasury spokeswomen on Friday wouldn't disclose how many applications have been filed or how much has been requested.
Nine large banks, including Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co., received $125 billion last month.
Neel Kashkari, interim director of the bailout at Treasury, told lawmakers Friday that about 20 more banks would receive funds that day.
The Treasury has "approved dozens of applications from banks across the country," he said.
Several banks announced Friday that they have received funds under the plan, including Huntington Bancshares Inc., Comerica Inc. and KeyCorp.

Newspaper: Bakersfield Californian
The Californian recently editorialized against a farm bill amendment from Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, that is meant to stop one state from interfering in interstate farm commerce ("Pass the farm bill, but without this harmful amendment," June 7). Despite the doomsday claims from animal liberation groups that the amendment would "potentially" nullify a broad swath of animal welfare or labor laws, it is actually quite limited in its scope.
California voters unwisely passed Prop 2 in 2008 to dictate housing requirements for egg-laying hens—despite the warnings of agricultural economists at UC-Davis that the measure would put state egg farmers out of business. State lawmakers quickly found themselves in a bind. Prop 2 only applied to in-state egg producers. So the state passed a law two years later, AB 1437, applying Prop 2 regulations to anybody wanting to sell eggs that were from out of state.
Essentially, California is trying to tell egg farms in the other 49 states how to house their hens.
King's amendment would not nullify Prop 2, since the law applies only to in-state producers. But only Congress, not the states, is empowered to regulate interstate commerce. Consider a similar case last year. A federal judge blocked California's low-carbon fuel standards from taking effect because the law unconstitutionally tried to regulate activities occurring completely outside of the state, such as producers' choices of farming methods.
Consider the outcry if states could interfere with commerce at will. Imagine if Florida passed a law against California orange growers or if Vermont and Wisconsin started an economic war over cheddar cheese. It would be madness.
Compounding the problem is that it is unclear just what Prop 2 requires. The vegan Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), Prop 2's main backer, says that it bans all hen cages. HSUS has also said, on a different occasion, that 200 square inches per bird is acceptable. Meanwhile, a UC-Davis poultry expert has put the figure at 90 square inches, and the California Department of Food and Agriculture has said 116 square inches will meet Prop 2's requirements.
If you're a California egg farmer, you have no idea what to invest in, and 2015, when the law takes effect, is right around the corner. And it wouldn't be surprising to see HSUS engage in court challenges to try to keep the drama it created going on even longer.
The Bakersfield Californian rightly noted in its editorial against Proposition 2 that it would drive producers out of state. And in fact, the agenda of the Humane Society of the United States is to put animal agriculture out of business. The group is so extreme and out-of-touch that its food policy director has compared egg farms to Nazi concentration camps. (And if you see its weepy TV ads featuring dogs and cats, money raised funds this anti-farmer agenda—only 1 percent goes to pet shelters.)
Unfortunately, Californians did not understand the real agenda at work behind Prop 2. But while voters do have the right to pass state initiatives that harm state businesses, California doesn't have the right to impose those regulations on other states.
Since passage of federal hen-housing regulations has once again stalled, that means Californians may have to reap what they sowed if egg farmers pack up for greener pastures in Nevada, Idaho, and other states. Instead of pointing the finger at an amendment from a Congressman from Iowa, voters should consider undoing what they've wrought.

In order for America to maintain our preeminent role in the world, it is critical that we provide all students with a quality education and ensure that they have the ability to pursue higher education. As a member of the House Education and Labor Committee from 2007 - 2010, Congressman Altmire took a leading role in making college more affordable and improving early childhood education.
Helping Western Pennsylvania Schools Through the Economic Downturn
With America in the midst of its worst economic recession since the Great Depression, school districts across the country are struggling to make ends meet. By voting for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, Congressman Altmire helped provide school districts across western Pennsylvania with millions of dollars in additional funding that will help them provide children with a first rate education. For more information, see: [Western Pennsylvania Schools Will Receive Much-Needed Funding in Economic Recovery Package].
Making College More Affordable
Congressman Altmire has taken an active role in crafting legislation that makes college more affordable for American families. In 2007, Congressman Altmire helped draft the College Cost Reduction and Access Act (H.R. 2669), legislation which provided the largest increase in federal student aid in more than 60 years at no new cost to taxpayers. By 2012, this legislation will have increased the maximum value of the Pell Grant scholarship by $1,090 and cut the interest rates on need-based federal student loans in half. In 2009, Congressman Altmire continued to make college more affordable by voting for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which included a $2,500 tax credit that will help families cover the cost of tuition.
Helping Graduates Repay Their Student Loans
In 2008, more than 30 million Americans held almost $556 billion in outstanding student loans. To help graduates pay off their student loans, Congressman Altmire voted for the College Cost Reduction and Access Act and helped to create a new Income-Based Repayment program for federal student loans. Under this new program -- which went into effect on July 1, 2009 -- borrowers' monthly loan payments will be capped at just 15 percent of their discretionary income. This could save borrowers hundreds of dollars each month. For more information, see: [Altmire: Americans Will Benefit From New Student Loan Repayment Program Starting July 1].
Expanding Access to College
As a member of the House Education and Labor Committee, Congressman Altmire played a key role in shaping the Higher Education Opportunity Act (H.R. 4137), the first reauthorization of the Higher Education Act in 10 years. This legislation, which became law on August 14, 2008, will encourage colleges to rein in tuition increases, restore integrity and accountability to student loan programs, simplify the federal student loan aid application process and more. Four of Congressman Altmire's legislative initiatives were included in the final bill, including a nationwide pilot program that will help lower textbook costs and a new program that will help community colleges design credit-bearing courses that are tailored to meet local employers' hiring needs. For more information, see: [Altmire Initiatives to Lower Textbook Costs, Improve Workforce Development to be Signed into Law].
Strengthening America's Schools
Congressman Altmire fully supports the goals of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), to ensure that all students can perform math and read at grade level. However, he believes that the law must be reformed so that it works better for students, parents, teachers, and administrators. He has held a number of public forums to discuss the reauthorization of NCLB with local superintendents, principals, teachers and parents. Congressman Altmire brought the chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor to the district on September 13, 2008, to hear local education stakeholders' concerns and suggestions first-hand. He also held a series of education roundtables during the summer of 2010 to get feedback on the challenges that schools, parents and students face in dealing with the realities of NCLB on a daily basis. For Congressman Altmire's statement on this issue, see: [Altmire Discusses Future of No Child Left Behind Education Law].
Expanding Cyber Learning Programs Throughout Western Pennsylvania
With the help of $500,000 in federal funding secured by Congressman Altmire, the National Network of Digital Schools Management Foundation in Midland will be able to increase cyber learning opportunities throughout Pennsylvania. These centers will provide educators and the public with the opportunity to learn how digital education works, how schools of all types can adopt new educational technology, and how digital learning networks that are portable, adaptable and cost-effective can help to provide all students with equal access to quality curriculum and teachers, no matter where they reside. For more information, see: [Altmire Secures $500,000 to help school districts develop online learning programs].
Improving Early Childhood Education
Congressman Altmire is an original cosponsor of the Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act (H.R. 1429). This legislation expands access to Head Start, strengthens the programs' focus on school readiness, improves Head Start teacher quality, and ensures that taxpayer dollars fund only well-run programs. In addition, Congressman Altmire successfully amended the Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act to help Head Start programs in rural areas confront the unique challenges that they face. The Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act was signed into law on December 12, 2007. For Congressman Altmire's statement on this issue, see: [Altmire Votes to Help Prepare Children for School Success].

Michael Lohan will make a great husband
I seriously wasn't trying to make this a Lohan morning, but I couldn't pass up these shots of Michael Lohan in Philly last night as he pretends to bang porn star Gina Lynn at a press conference for some celebrity boxing dealie. Even better his new fiancee Kate Major is there to see the face of man who's done time being allowed near a porn star and, just a reminder, he kicks vaginas for sport.
So on that note, all the best to you two. I see this working out.

Outside view: Idaho must invest in high-speed Internet
This commentary from the Moscow-Pullman Daily News does not necessarily reflect the view of The Spokesman-Review's editorial board.
Remember that obnoxious noise we were all forced to listen to as our modem established a connection with the Internet?
It was the good old days of dial-up, and fortunately, most of us haven't been subjected to the screeching in years; that's unless you live in many areas of rural Idaho, where it's simply a fact of life if you want access to the World Wide Web.
An official with the LinkIdaho project, a statewide initiative to promote the availability and sustainable adoption of broadband Internet access, told the Idaho Legislature's interim Committee on Energy, Environment and Technology on Sept. 13 that rural North Idaho, or Region I, which includes Benewah, Bonner, Boundary, Kootenai and Shoshone counties, is the worst-served region of the state when it comes to broadband Internet service. Region 2, which is made up of Latah, Clearwater, Idaho, Lewis and Nez Perce counties, isn't far ahead.
According to a survey and report by the organization, 22 percent of people living in Region I have either no Internet connection or dial-up service while that number is at 16 percent in Region 2. Statewide, it's 13 percent.
The organization says that creates barriers to attracting companies, delivering education, health care and other services to the region.
Getting Idaho up to standard won't be cheap. Bill Gillis, a Spokane consultant to the LinkIdaho project, told the legislative panel the cost to connect every Idaho household to broadband service at current standards would be $173 million for construction, plus $41 million a year for operations.
Currently, the state is taking a back-seat approach, leaving connecting Idaho to the private sector, which may never see enough profits in extending services to places such as Bovill to make it worthwhile. That's where the state will need to step in and invest in the infrastructure.
Making high-speed Internet available to every household in the state will be an expensive undertaking, but it will be well worth the investment and provide a foundation for Idaho to remain competitive with the rest of the nation.

Breathing Basics in 3 Simple Steps
How important is proper breathing when it comes to playing music and singing? Very! For singers, especially, learning how to control your breathing helps with your tone, your vocal power, and your phrasing. Read on as Portland music teacher Bonnie M. explains the 3 simple steps to keep in mind…
If you're an instrumentalist, how comfortable are you with considering your breath while playing? When you watch an orchestra begin to play, you will notice the Concertmaster's bow indicate the upbeat at the same time he or she shows an exaggerated breath. This communicates to the orchestra the time of that first measure. The next time you sit down at your piano, and hear the beginning tempo of your piece, take a breath in time as you start your practice session. At the next phrase, do the same, and listen as the music becomes more alive. Please, don't hold your breath between phrases though!
If you're a vocalist, you'll already know that you can't makes sounds if you don't breathe. Your breath gives shape to the phrase, and sometimes as a beginner your breath can feel as if it restricts your phrasing. Let's break down the process:
The lungs fill with air drawn in by the diaphragm. Silence and relaxation are key, as few things disrupt the mood of your song more than a sudden *GASP* between phrases! When the vocal folds are tense, the inhalation of the breath creates that ugly sound. If you're having difficulty finding enough breath, imagine buckling on a belt of noses around your waist. All those noses are breathing for you, helping you expand all the way around your belly. (Another hint: breathing through your nose is always quiet!)
For a singer, the release of air is carefully rationed to sustain a phrase until the end. I often imagine a feather in front of my mouth, and in my breathing exercises I blow just strong enough to keep the feather uplifted, but not so strong that the feather is blown away from my face.
The easiest thing to forget when you're focused on singing to the end of that long phrase: the best way to end that note is to breathe IN again. Don't just let the sound stop by tensing up – gently let your diaphragm fill your lungs once more and that note will end softly, instead of harshly. If you want to go a step further, consider the next word you sing and allow your mouth to form its first vowel while you breathe in again. Then you're doubly prepared for your next entrance.

Help us end cruelty in places where people worship!
Throughout the ages, human beings have accepted killing, violence and violent behavior as just being a part of life. And organized religions have perpetuated and endorsed this kind of thinking, burying their collective head in the sand.
Churches talk about peace and love and compassion while we take pleasure in hunting animals, bull fights and cock fights, horse racing and fishing. In places of worship, people wear clothing made from the furs and skins of tortured animals.
And most importantly, our diets are based on violence toward and the deaths of billions of animals. And these kinds of meals are supported, endorsed and promoted by most religions.
We are urging people of faith to include all of God's creatures in all programs, activities, sermons, events and fundraisers.
Mission and Purpose of All-Creatures.org
To promote through education the prevention of suffering and cruelty to any of God's creatures, human or otherwise, including, but not limited to their diet, their health and their living conditions.
To promote through education the elimination of the use of animals in biomedical research and testing, their use as food, or their use for any and all commercial purposes; and to protect the environment in which we all live, so that no living beings suffer from its destruction or pollution.

Hey, well what you do is phone microsoft xbox support. Tell them you bought the console second hand even if it's hot(don't buy hot stuff, it's immoral and you will get caught), register the console with them. they will then go thru the process of resetting your console. I bought mine from a pawnbrokers/second hand shop like that and they still helped me. Process takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Hope this helps. I

5 Must-See Charts to Buy in July - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Markets finally corrected this week. Hallelujah!
>>5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
If not for the past three days' sideways slug, we'd be nearing the nine-day win streak record set back in 2004. That's not a record that investors should be shooting for. To be clear, as far as I'm concerned, achieving nine straight up days is pretty meaningless. It's irrelevant how many sessions a big move is cut into; the amplitude of the move is way more important.
But big win streaks are a distraction for retail investors. And they're the kind of moves that beget overcorrections in momentum. That's why this week's breather is a very healthy thing for this rally to continue.
>>Beat the S&P With 5 Stocks Wall Street Hates
And right now, there's no reason to think that the S&P 500 will do anything other than move higher. The big index keeps making higher lows and highs; it's a textbook uptrend, even if it's been a little trickier to trade lately.
That's why we're taking a technical look at the big trades setting up insome of Wall Street's biggest names.
If you're new to technical analysis, here's the executive summary.
>>5 Rocket Stocks Ready for Blastoff in July
Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
Every week, I take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories. Here's this week's look at five high-volume stocks to trade this week.
>>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
Up first is online retail giant Amazon.com (AMZN), a name that I last talked about a month ago. At the time, Amazon was forming a long-term rounding bottom pattern, a setup that triggered on a move above the $285 level. Well, that breakout happened earlier this month. So how do you trade it from here?
>>3 Big Stocks on Traders' Radars
Since the breakout, Amazon has moved almost 8% higher without a single down day -- until this week, that is. With a consolidation in AMZN that mirrors the one in the S&P this week, there's still a trade to be made here. That's thanks to the short-term rectangle pattern that's been forming in shares.
A rectangle pattern is formed by a pair of horizontal resistance and support levels in shares of a stock. It gets its name because it essentially "boxes in" shares. For AMZN, resistance comes in at $310 and support is down at $305. That's a super tight range for such a pricey stock, but the implication is that traders will get a much quicker trade signal here.
Buyers should wait for a move above $310 before jumping into AMZN; if shares slip below $305, it's a sell.
We're seeing a similar setup in shares of search giant Google (GOOG). Not a similar setup to Amazon's recent rectangle, mind you, but a similar setup to the long-term rounding bottom that broke out at the start of the month. Google's pattern gives you a chance to get in early.
>>5 Tech Stocks to Buy This Summer
The rounding bottom is a pattern that indicates a gradual transition in control from sellers to buyers. The pattern's name is a pretty good description of how it looks on a chart -- and in Google's case, the pattern is getting close to a breakout above $920 resistance. When it happens, we've got a buy signal in shares.
Each of the past few days have given GOOG a print above $920, only to close below or immaterially above it by the end of each session. I'd recommend waiting for a more substantial push off of $920 before considering the break confirmed. After that, it makes sense to keep a protective stop at the 50-day moving average.
I also featured Google in last week's "5 Charts to Trade After Bernanke's Comments."
2013 has been a pretty miserable year for Petrobras (PBR). Since the calendar flipped over to January, shares of the $91 billion Brazilian oil and gas company have dropped more than 28%, versus a double-digit rally in the rest of the stock market. But investors could finally be in for a reprieve recent price action in PBR points to a potential reversal this week.
>>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now
Petrobras is currently forming an inverse head and shoulders pattern, a reversal pattern that's formed by two swing lows that bottom out at approximately the same level (shoulders), separated by a lower low between them (the head). The buy signal comes on a breakout above the neckline, which is right at $14 for PBR; if this setup triggers, it comes with a price target at $16.
There are a lot of inputs affecting PBR's price including prices for the energy commodities that the firm pulls out of the ground and the economic situation in Brazil. Focusing on this stock's price action essentially shortcuts trying to weigh all of those disparate factors. They're already priced in.
Barrick Gold
Barrick Gold (ABX) is another name that looks "bottomy" right now.
With gold prices unceremoniously falling off a cliff in 2013, $16 billion mining firm Barrick has found itself in the unenviable position of being the proxy for all mining stocks. That's helped to halve the value of the company's shares year-to-date. Like PRB, though, an inverse head and shoulders reversal looks like it's taking shape in Barrick. The $16 level needs to get definitively taken out for this setup to trigger right now, shares are merely flirting with it.
>>6 Stocks Under $10 Triggering Major Breakouts
Momentum adds some extra evidence for upside in Barrick. While 14-day RSI had been in a downtrend since the last swing high in ABX, the trendline broke at the start of July. It's still crucial to wait for price to take out the $16 level before putting money on this trade, but momentum provides some extra confidence when it does happen.
Lest you think that the head and shoulders is too well known to be worth trading, the research suggests otherwise: a recent academic study conducted by the Federal Reserve Board of New York found that the results of 10,000 computer-simulated head-and-shoulders trades resulted in "profits [that] would have been both statistically and economically significant." After the breakout, I'd recommend keeping a stop loss under the right shoulder.
With a market capitalization of just $800 million, small-cap 3D printer maker ExOne (XONE) is the smallest name on today's list by far. But shares have been seeing huge trading volumes in recent sessions thanks to the growth potential (and in some cases, the controversies) surrounding 3D printing. That makes it worth a look today.
>>3 Tech Stocks in Breakout Territory
You don't need to be an expert technical analyst to figure out what's going on in shares of XONE. This stock has been moving higher in a well-defined uptrending channel since the start of April; that channel gives us a high-probability range for XONE's shares right now. XONE is coming off a bounce off of trendline support, a level that's already been successfully tested five times on the way up so far. It makes sense to jump in here.
If you decide to take the channel trade in XONE, keep a stop at the 50-day moving average it's been a good proxy for support on the way up.

ChinaComm (Guangzhou, P.R.C) selected the Tellabs (Naperville, IL) SmartCore 9100 platform for a packet core network for broadband wireless access services in Beijing and across nine other mainland Chinese markets. According to Tellabs, it will represent more than 90% of the markets where ChinaComm initially plans to deploy broadband wireless services.
According to Tellabs the SmartCore 9100 platform will support broadband wireless access networks from various manufacturers.
"We chose Tellabs SmartCore 9100 platform because of its interoperability with multiple broadband wireless access vendors and its ability to support future service expansion," said Mr. Zhu Shurong, Chief Technology Officer for ChinaComm. "This decision will help us simplify network operations and save operational expenses by eliminating the need to manage and maintain two separate ASN gateways."
