Operation Valkyrie
German Col. Claus von Stauffenberg (Sebastian Koch) leads a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in this drama based on true events. As war-torn Germany faces defeat in 1944, a group comes up with a daring plan to bomb one of Hitler's conference rooms. Ulrich Tukur and Nina Kunzendorf co-star in this fascinating depiction of the courageous soldiers and their determination to oppose the Führer's malicious tyranny.


text: Hi guys, I can't find a place here to try on RL Black Label or Gucci suits. I like the leaner cut suits and 42R in Armani and Canali fit me quite well. I am 5'11" and 180 lbs. Does anyone know if the RL Black Labels (Anthony) and Gucci suits fit when compared to Canali and Armani? Someone said to go for a 44R in Gucci due to its thinner cut/shoulders but I am not sure so would look for a good return policy if I found one online on sale. RL Purple Label may be out due to its boxier cut. I see a few RL Black Labels on sale and the timing would be great to grab one. I have an important out-of-town interview coming up. I'll be spending three days with the executive team. The CEO and his team are young and wear stylish suits and shoes...not the conservative suits. I see Ferrgamo and Bally shoes on them. The CEO had on some amazing shoes but I could not figure out what. They were shoe porn worthy, and far nicer than my Ferragamos. His watch was a fantastic wind up vintage IWC one day and maybe a Zenith of some kind the other day. He wears the higher-end Gucci suits, so I figure I cannot go wrong with my choices. Well, except for my Titanium Seiko maybe. I should prob just lose my watch. I prefer lean cut or Italian cut suits myself and can't stand the boxy look, so am focusing on these brands. I can't afford a custom-made suit just yet either, nor do I have the time to do that before my interview that starts on the 20th of this month. Lastly, I see some nice Kitons but that higherlapel notch and 3-to-so roll seems a bit too different for me...just not used to it. Good looking suits though. I have searched and read many threads, and am learning so much about style and clothes here. Thanks!

…..Additional HW problems and reading material organized. (HW problems and readings included as supplements in earlier editions of the textbook have been incorporated into the Fall 2007 edition.)
…..Hints and answers for HW problems.
…..Learning objectives indicating what a student should be able to do after they complete the chapter material and the associated classroom activities.
The Student Solution Manual contains complete worked out solutions to selected problems to demonstrate how to solve problems and document the solution for ES201. This is a "view only" PDF file that you may download.
[WARNING----Failing to attempt problems on your own BEFORE consulting a worked out solution or a HW hint and answer could be injurious to your academic health. Experience has shown that once you've seen a hint, answer, or complete solution the information seems "obvious." Unfortunately, real engineering problems (and problems on exams) do not usually have the hints/answers/solutions. So always give it a try before you seek help, this is the only way you will learn not only "what to do" but as importantly "when" and "why." Failure to understand "when" and "why" is usually the obstacle when you are "clueless."
Typical exams from previous quarters.

Our Ghosts
"Manhattan's Most Haunted House"
— The New York Times
Some say the Tredwells, who lived in this house for nearly 100 years, are still here. Gertrude Tredwell, in particular, is thought to be watching over her family home. Born in an upstairs bedroom in 1840, Gertrude never married and lived her entire life here until she died, at the age of 93, in 1933. She was the last member of the Tredwell family to occupy the house before it became a museum, in 1936.
Since the 1930s, tales of strange and unexplainable happenings have surrounded the Merchant's House. Staff, volunteers, visitors, neighbors, even passersby, have reported seeing, hearing, and smelling things that weren't there.
Over the years, a number of psychics and paranormal investigators have visited the site, but their findings have always been inconclusive. In 2006, the Museum decided to mount its own investigation with the help of Historic Paranormal Investigations, a NYC-based group. The evidence is mounting that, indeed, something is here.
Whether or not you are a believer, you'll enjoy reading our recently compiled booklet of ghost stories collected over the years by a member of the Museum's board. Visit the Museum's shop to purchase a copy of Some Say They Never Left: Spirited Tales and Ghostly Legends of the Merchant's House Museum, and decide for yourself. And if you visit the museum and have an "experience," please let one of the staff know so we can add your story to our growing roster of ghost tales.
Private Candlelight Ghost Tours are offered by appointment for groups of up to 20 guests for a flat fee of $400. Tours must be booked at least two weeks in advance. Email email@example.com for more information.
Don't miss all our "spirited" events in October, including a ghostly walking tour, a 19th-century funeral reenactment, and five nights of candlelight ghost tours. Join our email list below to receive early announcements of upcoming events, and check back this fall for the full calendar.
Take Part in a Paranormal Investigation
"Manhattan's Most Haunted House??" Find out for YOURSELF! The Winner and a Guest will participate in a real paranormal investigation of the Merchant's House Museum led by the Historic Paranormal Research team. Learn the theories behind hauntings, the use of technical equipment, and how to review data. Measure atmospheric conditions, conduct Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) sessions, capture still and video images, and more. Get to know members of the Historic Paranormal Research investigative team.

Review: After.
A recently parole ex-convict tries to rebuild his life.
Tue Sep 27 2011
Photograph: Yindy Vatanavan
Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>3/5
Chad Beckim's peculiar After. is that rare thing, a bad mixture of good ingredients. Considered separately, its inception, its central character, even its interest in fanged comedy all argue for it. But these elements, balanced poorly and heightened unwisely, wind up also arguing among themselves.
Beckim's tonally uncertain drama focuses on Monty (the wonderful Alfredo Narciso), adjusting to life after 17 years of unjust incarceration. In tackling the issue, Beckim elevates the political stakes (we desperately need plays that talk about jail), and he also essays a neat dramaturgical gambit. By creating Monty as a Kaspar Hauser--style naf, a man raised in a barred cave, the writer can use his disorientation to point to our own contemporary absurdities and excesses.
But this is where my applause peters out. The dramatic element becomes melodrama, so that scenes with the always-welcome Andrew Garman as Monty's confessor-therapist devolve into demands that Monty "move on." The potential for vituperative absurdism turns into bland fish-out-of-water comedy, ranging from romance with a hyperactive CVS employee (Jackie Chung) to dealing with his juvenile boss (hammy Debargo Sanyal). Director Stephen Brackett neither coaxes the disjunctive elements together nor separates them in some interestingly formal way, so we wind up wallowing in hotchpotch. Luckily, Narciso—a preternaturally elegant cipher—stands stock-still in the center of the mess. His sweet-natured paralysis transcends melancholy to become charismatic absence, a portrait of damage that, unlike Monty's real-life antecedents, cannot be ignored.
The Wild Project. By Chad Beckim. Dir. Stephen Brackett. With ensemble cast. 1hr 30mins. No intermission. See complete event information

Wittenberg Art Major Finds Balance in Varied Interests
Springfield, Ohio – In his final semester at Wittenberg, Jeremy Block, from Tampa, Fla., recently presented his thesis during the Winter Exhibition at The Springfield Center for the Arts at Wittenberg University on Jan. 14.
His project had a ceramic focus, and the pieces had what he described as an "organic" appearance, incorporating tree knots, that "could serve as the centerpiece for a garden." While his selected medium is unrelated to an interest in going green, Block noted that his family is the "outdoorsy" type and that his preference reflected a natural quality.
"I've always liked using clay because it's from the ground," Block explained. "And I really wanted to do something out-of-the-box."
An all-conference lineman on the nationally ranked Tiger football team, Block chose Wittenberg partly because of the football team. He also chose Wittenberg while leaning toward a major in education, which has since become his minor.
"My parents believe that if you do something you like, you never work a day in your life," Block said. "I've always liked working with kids."
Block now has plans to attend graduate school and wants to earn an MFA so he can teach art to children in grades K-12. While at Wittenberg, Block has also learned about something he hadn't expected.
"I took these half-semester Renaissance classes with Dr. Amy Livingstone [professor of history], and it was one of the best classes I've taken at Witt," he said.
The professor-student interaction at Wittenberg happens to be one of his favorite aspects of the university.
"I feel like Wittenberg is one big family," he said. "You wouldn't really get that with other schools."
Perhaps that family atmosphere is what helped foster interest in community service at Wittenberg beyond the university's requirement. This year, Block is not only a participant in, but also the coordinator for Empty Bowls, an annual project to help the Second Harvest Food Bank, which is scheduled for March 24. Last year, the program made a new record, raising nearly $36,000.
When asked how the last four years have changed him as a person, Block notes that he has changed decidedly for the better. It helped him "mature" and gain a better sense of who he is.
"Wittenberg helped me explore my passions," Block said.

Some Observations
The TelegraphSeptember 14, 1998
The TelegraphSeptember 14, 1998
Telegraph Facts
The telegraph was invented in the 1830's.
A telegraph works by sending pulses of current through a (long) wire to a remote location.
At the remote location, the received pulses are converted into a form that can be interpreted by a human operator.
The transmitter is principally just a switch that allows the flow of current when the switch is pressed.
Traditionally, the receiver produces a ``clicking'' sound when a current pulse is received that can be interpreted by the operator.
Alternatively, an optical indication may be produced by routing the received signal through a light.
The original telegraphs use three types of
off (space)
no pulse is transmitted
short (.)
a short pulse is transmitted
long (-)
a long pulse is sent
The ``space'' or ``off'' signal is used to mark the end of a transmitted pulse. In other words, between any two pulses there is always some ``space.''
In 1843, Congress passed a bill appropriating money for the construction of a telegraph circuit between Washington and Baltimore.
Prof. Bernd-Peter Paris

Vacation: What to do with X3
i'm going on a vacation for a few weeks and am wondering what should i do to keep the x3 in tip top condition when i come back. i know that there's something to be done with the battery - can this be done by ourselves or would we have to have the beemer people do it?
i hear it's a matter of hooking up the battery to a power outlet. will the hood be open all the time? or will it be discreet.
any help on this, i appreciate, thanks!
park it and forget it... the car will be fine upon your return
+1 -- of course "a few weeks" is a bit unclear. If you mean no longer than three weeks then you should be good to go -- as long as you don't have other problems with battery drain. If it were me I might invest in one of those $30 portable start packs, charge it up and leave it in the car just in case. I would also familiarize myself with the jump start terminals under the hood -- not a bad thing to know anyway. Then I would forget about it and enjoy my vacation, come back, jump in the car and drive off with a smile and a lightened wallet.
Hand a set of keys to a trusty neighbor and request them to let the engine run a couple minutes once a week? ("Just turn the engine on, don't go for joyrides!" :P)
Interestingly, I put a lithium-ion battery for my motorcycle which is amazing. I disconnected the battery terminal last fall. I didn't charge the battery all winter and it was left outside. Yesterday I hooked up the terminal and it started the bike after almost 5 months untended and in sub zero temps. Maybe BMW needs to replace it's AGM batteries with light weight lithium-ion.
Here is a video I made of the first start... temps were -5c the night before. The old bike is somewhat temperamental being air cooled and carbureted.
No, just get the pack (they are self contained) be sure its fully charged then put it in the back storage area until you need it. It basically is a small battery, some even have a air pump built in, that is useful for emergency power to start the car or fill up a flat or anything inflatable. Car is fully locked, hood down. You only hook up the pack when you need it to start the car. Perfect for those long trips in winter for peace of mind.:angel:To get an idea of what one looks like, go to www.sportsmansguide.com and look under item C3X2-285097.

Women Thriving in Traditionally All-Male American Football
American Football has supplanted baseball in recent years as America's favorite sport. But though men and women both enjoy it, it has traditionally been played almost entirely by men. The past few years, however, have seen the debut of a number of women's leagues – playing by the same rules and with the same level of contact as the men's sport.
When you think about American football, you envision it being played by heavily-padded big men making violent contact with each other. But Tarsha Fain, team captain of the Baltimore Nighthawks says, think again.
"I feel women can do anything a man can do," said Fain. "The same way they get out there and hit, we get out there and hit too."
The Baltimore Nighthawks are proud members of the IWFL {Independent Women's Football League}. The goal of our league is to provide a safe and productive environment that enables women to learn and apply the principles of teamwork, discipline, dedication, and sportsmanship. We facilitate the development of strength and character in everyone that participates.
We are sustained by the efforts of volunteers who display an extraordinary amount of commitment and hard work, ensuring that our league is a positive influence. We also strive to provide a service to our community by providing a healthy outlet for women, opportunities for the community to gather together, and endless hours of entertainment.
If you do want to volunteer and help contribute to our team, then you can feel free to hit the contact us at the top of this page to contact us, or email us at email@example.com. There are many events for volunteers and even though there are no monetary incentives, the experience and friends you will gain will definitely be something that you will never forget.
Most importantly, we are constantly looking to recruit more women into American football as we know that it is important for men and women to be treated equally and this is one of the best ways to show it. Some of our female athletes even beat our male athletes in our own training games! It is definitely a very different world now compared to long ago in the past where there is no more discrimination against genders.

Whoops: Jesse James Cheated On Sandra Bullock With A Neo-Nazi (PHOTOS)
Just in case you were completely delusional and thought that Jesse James' mistress, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, was perhaps a good girl behind all those tattoos and Sandra Bullock husband-stealing, TMZ dug up some photos of Ms. McGee dressed up as a neo-Nazi pinup.
McGee's love for the Third Reich doesn't just stop at half-naked photoshoots: she reportedly has a "w" and a "p" tattooed on either leg to represent "White Power" and according to child custody documents filed by McGee's ex-husband in January, she has a nasty habit of "making the Nazi salute" and would spell out "White Power" with fridge magnets in their home. Classy!
The fun doesn't just stop with McGee's racist antics, McGee's ex-husband says that she used their child's name as a stage name for stripping and would sleep with gang members (not to mention men married to Oscar-winning actresses). Doesn't McGee sound like a real gem of a girl? And by "gem" we mean "monster."

Nixon and Voorhis
About your front page feature on Richard Nixon Jan. 9: and its timeline, which read: "Nixon Elected to Congress: Nixon defeats five-term veteran Democrat, Jerry Voorhis, on Nov. 5, 1946 to represent CA's 12th District in the U.S. House."
The newspaper failed to mention how he did that.
Nixon and his campaign manager, White House official, and former L.A. lawyer Murray Chotiner, convinced the electorate that Congressman Voorhis was a Communist! Jerry Voorhis was in fact Nixon's first political victim. Archival tapes and documents at the Nixon Presidential Library actually reveal his long-term strategy to investigate, intimidate and smear political rivals.
It wasn't until 25 years later, after Nixon's resignation from the presidency, that Jerry Voorhis published his account of Nixon and his "meteoric rise" to the presidency. "The Strange Case of Richard Milhous Nixon" reveals every issue, political decision and tactic of Nixon during his time. The book is a thorough commentary of the period that has to be read in order to be appreciated.
Among his many accomplishments, Jerry Voorhis is the Founding Father of Cal Poly Pomona. He gave the school its first campus. The Claremont Democratic Club Newsletter still carries the Voorhis Voice as its banner. He graduated from Yale in 1923, received his master's degree in education from the Claremont Colleges, and founded the Voorhis School, a home for boys (1928-1938), while teaching American history at Pomona College. His accomplishments are too many to list here.
Jerry Voorhis was a close friend of my grandfather, James G. Ferrell, of Pomona.
While in his 90s, I was honored to have him autograph a copy of his book for my library.
"The Strange Case of Richard Milhous Nixon" is definitely an unforgettable slice of history worth reading.
-Karen Popovec, Rowland Heights
Chicago style
Should the U.S. pull out of Chicago?
While the anti-gun politicians and their affiliates are beyond themselves in their battle over gun control, few of these people have considered the number of people killed in Chicago, a city known for having one of the strictest gun laws in the United States versus Iraq, where almost everyone has a gun. The body count in Chicago in the last six months, where 292 people were murdered, as opposed to 221 killed in Iraq, a country at war.
Does that tell you anything? It should say that guns have two enemies: rust and politicians.
-Tony Farinella, El Monte
Arm the principal
So many think that eliminating guns eliminates the problem. Outlawing guns lets the criminals who ignore the laws know that they have no one to stop them. What would have happened if that principal, or one of the other adults who confronted the killer, had been trained and armed? The teacher and her students may not have been harmed.
-Dean S. Engelhardt, Covina
Hall of Fame
I tip my cap to the Baseball Writers Association of America.
You got it right this time. Thank you for calling it what it is, a big strike. Cheaters and liars do not belong in any Hall of Fame. You did the right and proper thing to do. Now you can all work to be in your special Writers Hall of Fame.
By the way, speaking of baseball, I miss Then and Now, where is McConnell's column?

2.18 Collect and analyze on consumer purchase data and charging and driving behavior data
Reason for action
Understanding consumer behavior – from the point where a consumer is trying to decide what car to buy up to when a PEV driver is charging on a daily basis – is crucial for determining where and what kind of charging network should be built. Information can be shared on a national or multi-state level (see Action 2.1), within the state (see Action 2.4), and with local municipalities (see Action 3.6).
Implementing the action
Original data and study on driver behaviors would help stakeholders understand how to optimize charger deployment location and levels in addition to vehicle technologies and battery pack sizes. Knowledge from these studies will also better prepare all DOTs to install effective and sustainable charging stations (see Action 3.3)

official situation at Malta, intimately acquainted with the politics of Sicily. give him injure him, above all things bearing in mind how highly probable it is that
the man who writes a book upon any given subject, may must be better acquainted with that subject than he who takes up
the book as one of the chance xxxxx texts of criticism. Latterly I hope I have done this, – & whenever I have not I
have repented of it, & do still repent. In the third Quarterly you will see some 'American Annals' which went from hence,
You ask me respecting Burnett. I have heard nothing from him for two years, – for which these would be his reasons, – that he owes me five & twenty pounds, – & that he knows I greatly disapprove his conduct. I have heard however that he is far gone in consumption, & in all probability the next news will be of his death. How he has been living I know not, nor where he now is, – but from the time when he made that application to you, (which made as it was so unwarrantably I ought not to have afterwards in any manner sanctioned) he has gone on worse & worse, having completely corrupted himself by picking up French morality at second hand in Poland.

August, for politicians, is supposed to be a quiet month. But Hungary's newspapers show it is not proving so for embattled Prime Minister Peter Medgyessy and his Socialist-led government.
"Cabinet has drifted to edge of disintegration", says a headline in Magyar Hirlap. "Medgyessy must give up his place", the paper proclaims. "End of an era," says Nepszabadsag.
Even leftist papers like Nepszava are talking about a "crisis", while the right-wing Magyar Nemzet describes "chaos" in the party, which it blames on "an increasingly spectacular leadership crisis".
"In this country, every summer promises a hot autumn. This time the reason is that, in the summer heat, the leaves are whispering that Medgyessy will have to go," says Nepszabadsag.
During Mr Medgyessy's recent absence on holiday in Spain, infighting took hold in the ruling Socialist party.
The left wing has called for a slackening of Mr Medgyessy's tight fiscal policy.
The Socialists lost June's European parliament elections to the centre-right, and party left-wingers say the only way to hold on to power is more emphasis on social welfare.
Returning from holiday, the prime minister has refused to accept his sports minister's resignation, and persuaded the justice minister not to quit, in efforts to quash speculation his government is in crisis.
Mr Medgyessy has also fired his spokesman, citing a need for a new communications strategy now Hungary has entered the European Union.
"The month started with the government's most popular minister considering leaving his post and the prime minister trying to decide whether he should dismiss the current sports minister," Nepszava comments.
"The case at hand definitely involves more than a seasonal dip: we are witnessing a deepening and increasingly complicated crisis on the Hungarian left," says a commentary in Magyar Hirlap.
New leadership?
But Mr Medgyessy insists his government, a coalition of Socialists and the liberal Free Democrats, will not waver and see through its mandate to 2006.
In the premier's defence, Nepszabadsag says: "Medgyessy's maximum goal at the moment is to lead the country through the first waves of the EU years without major shocks... even if it is most likely that the original government programme will not be implemented."
In October, the party stages its main congress, at which a new party president will be chosen who will have a key role in setting policy. Magyar Hirlap suggests rivalry with Youth Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany may lead to a change at the top.
But Nepszabadsag disagrees: "It is a waste of time questioning the prime minister's suitability because the current coalition has no one with which to replace him."

The casual Vol fan might be shocked to know Williams is even on the Vol football team. That same fan would be stunned to know that Williams is, in fact, on the first team when the Vols open in their nickel (five-defensive backs) package.
His obscurity may be down to its final week, however. He should see considerable action at cornerback in Sunday night's opener versus Utah State.
"Mike's got great quickness, change of direction and suddenness," Vol defensive coordinator John Jancek said recently. "He's a good press corner. I think he's a good off corner, too, if he just slows down a little bit. Sometimes he goes a little fast but I like Mike's skill set."
So does Tennessee's head coach, who also likes Williams' work ethic.
"He's done a really good job," Butch Jones told Inside Tennessee. "He's been very consistent throughout training camp and brings it every day."
So, who is Michael Williams and what is he doing in Tennessee's secondary?
He starred on the gridiron and the track at DeMatha Catholic High School in Washington D.C., then signed a football scholarship with the Maryland Terrapins. When head coach Ralph Friedgen was fired following the 2011 season, Williams was granted a release from his scholarship to attend Tennessee on a track scholarship.
Williams anchored Tennessee's 4x400 relay unit that placed sixth at the SEC Indoors in the winter of 2012. He was sitting in the stands at Neyland Stadium in September of that year when he came down with a serious case of football fever.
"My first priority was track but I just couldn't give up football," he recalled. "I remember it was the Florida game here. I was in the stands and I was like, 'Man, I can still play.' Sitting back and watching, I didn't want to be in the stands anymore. I wanted to be out there, running around and making plays. That really drove me to come out here and play."
Competing in one college sport is a chore. Competing in two is a daunting task. Williams felt up to the challenge of participating in football and track, though.
"I always set my goals to be That Guy that can do both sports," he recalled. "I love track, and I came here for track. Walking on for football is just another opportunity."
Although Williams missed some spring practices to compete in track meets, the Vol staff has been flexible to date.
"The coaches understand I'm a track guy at heart, so they're understanding with my schedule," he said. "They've really helped me balance both sports."
Because track is not a contact sport most track guys who try to double as football players are characterized as "soft." Williams shakes his head at the idea this term might apply to him.
"I consider myself a very physical player," he said. "My brother (ex-NFL player Madieu Williams) taught me to be a physical guy. I come from a background where we're not really soft. In Washington D.C. they teach you to be a tough guy."
Still, Michael Williams had some concerns about juggling two sports. That's why he called former Vol and New Orleans Saints cornerback Jabari Greer, who managed to excel at track and football from 2000-2003.
"I called him two years ago and asked 'How did you go about it?'" Williams recalled. "He told me to stay focused. Track gives you an edge because you're fast out there, so take advantage, be healthy, get treatment and focus in school."
|(Getty Images)
Williams took the advice … except the part about "be healthy." Injured early on, he missed the entire 2013 football season. He recovered in time to take part in spring practice but failed to distinguish himself.
Over the summer Williams dedicated himself to becoming a contributor in football. Result: He has looked like a different player in preseason drills. Vol receivers who face him in practice each day have noticed.
"He's done a lot better," Josh Smith said. "He's stepped up through training camp. Overall, he's done great. Going from track to football is a big transition and he's transitioned great. He's with the 1s and he's doing good. He's a physical guy. He's very fast, which is what you need in a DB, but he's been making some plays."
Now listed at 5-feet-11 and 186 pounds, Williams says he grew up a lot between March and August, mentally more so than physically.
"I'm older," he said. "I don't make as many mistakes as I did last year. I have more consistency than last year, instead of just running around. I'm familiar with the defense."
That familiarity is paying dividends this preseason. Williams' knowledge generally keeps him in good position. Even when he gets out of position, his recovery speed enables him to atone for mistakes.
"If I'm beat I can recover real fast, so I take advantage of it," he said. "I'm just blessed to have that speed."
So is Tennessee's secondary. The Vols' defensive backfield has been ponderously slow in recent years, so Williams' speed has been getting him a lot of the first-team repetitions in practice.
"I just kept playing," he said. "I wasn't thinking about trying to be a starter. Coach (Butch Jones) gave me an opportunity, and I just took advantage of it. I'm blessed to have that opportunity."
Most of all, he's blessed to have the kind of speed that is required of a major-college cornerback.
"Coach is always preaching that nobody can run by you, so I take into consideration that I'm a track guy, I'm fast, so nobody can run by me," Williams said. "I'll just keep playing tough and physical, keep listening to coach and keep balling."

Throwing Snow – Pathfinder
Exclusive: The London electronic producer shares the mind-melting title track from his latest EP
- TextOwen Myers
Nuanced London dance producer Throwing Snow released the cohesive Pathfinder EP this week on Houndstooth, and now he shares the exploratory title track. Opening with staccato guitar noodling, it opens up into something quite different – a contorted rumble propelled into new space by glimmering, feather-light synth lines. With chasms of darkness leading to a more mellow, almost blissy conclusion, it deserves to be played in a room the size of an aircraft hanger, or at least at a volume loud enough to fill one.

During an interview with L.A.'s Power 106 , our tiny national treasure uttered the following: "um, I'm actually retiring man."
Now that can, of course, mean several things. Perhaps he's retiring from being a bucket-peeing, brothel-visiting graffiti vandal. Perhaps he just got the starring role in the feel-good comedy Retiring Man . Or, perhaps, he's actually packing it in as a performer.
According to TMZ , Justin's "camp" insists he was joking even though he went on to say, "I'm probably going to quit music." As for his Twitter feed, it's all about promoting his movie Believe and his video "Confident." Here is a picture from that video. It appears to be about fog.
In other Biebsery news, he was recently roasted on stage by comedian Chris D'Elia , who made fun of his outfit. This apparently made it imperative for Justin to assure the audience that he, erm, engages in intercourse with women. Only not using that phrase. At all. More like "I bleep bitches." That's good to know, I suppose, and congratulations on your respectful choice of words.
This is the censored video. Although, if you use your imagination you'll know all the swears. So, you've been warned.

1. Amazing video. This is what we should be striving for, achievement, creativity, ambition.
Focusing on equality seems short sighted when it is the gifted among us who makes things better for everyone else.
I am thankful for those who have gotten us so very far. I do not begrudge anything they may receive in return. I hope they are consumed and driven by the need to create and BE RICH.

3. We're a little less gratuitously violent than we once were, but not much
but the increase in life expectancy came from three things: two permanent and one temporary, sanitation, vaccines and antibiotics. However, there's a lot of really exciting stuff happening out there and whether or not technology can save us from our own greed and stupidity, it will be a wild ride to see how much it can do.
The real challenge won't be in generating electricity or curing disease. The real challenge is finding a way to distribute the wealth of this planet fairly and equitably, so we leave behind us the absurd notion that some lives are worth more than othe

6. Amazing video. My grandfather, born 1895, always said, "There's no such thing as the good old days.
There was never a better time to be alive than today."
When people would speak nostalgically about earlier simpler time, he would tell stories about what that REALLY meant. Like pulling his siblings away from the rotting horse carcasses that tended to appear on the streets in the poorest areas of NYC, the darkness, the poverty, the hopelessness.
In his life, he saw electric lights, cars, televisions, telephones come into common use. In our lifetimes we will see more amazing developments.
Remembering this has always allowed me to maintain some optimism in the face of current events.

Euro zone bank lending to the private sector rose more slowly than expected in March, despite the European Central Bank injecting €1 trillion ($1.3 trillion) of cheap loans into the banking system.
An ECB report showed loans to companies and consumers rose at an annual 0.6 per cent in March, compared with 0.8 per cent in February and expectations of a 0.7 per cent rise. It was the first data to show the initial impact of the ECB move to pump cheap three-year cash into the system in December and February. The figures suggested it had so far failed to trigger a revival in credit growth.
Economists said while there was evidence banks had used ECB funds to buy government bonds, they were still not lending to businesses and households.
Jennifer McKeown, senior European economist at Capital Economics, said private sector lending growth rates were "at extremely low levels".
"Banks remain unwilling to lend to the private sector. And if the ECB suspects that its funds are being used to finance government deficits or to encourage excessive risk taking, it will be very reluctant to provide more."
Gustavo Bagattini, European economist at RBC Capital Markets, said that it may take some time for the ECB actions to take effect on the real economy.
Data also showed household saving ratios remain high in the euro zone, increasing to 13.7 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2011, from 13.5 per cent in the third.
In Germany, 16.8 per cent of average household disposable income was saved in the fourth quarter of 2011, France close behind at 16.4 per cent.
Germany's saving ratio continues to be the highest of all major European Union countries. Retail sales in Europe's biggest economy grew by 0.8 per cent in March, which was less than the 1 per cent rise forecast by economists and not enough to offset falls in January and February.
The increase in March was broad-based, sales of food, clothing, home furnishings and building materials all growing strongly.
Economists cautioned, however, that the German retail sector had been weak in the first quarter overall, and confidence among consumers remained fragile.
"German retail sales have remained weak in early 2012, likely as a result of higher fuel prices and continued uncertainty related to the euro area sovereign debt crisis," said Thomas Harjes, an economist at Barclays Capital.
Annual inflation in the euro zone remained stubbornly high in April at 2.6 per cent, compared with 2.7 per cent in March. Economists had forecast a fall to 2.5 per cent.
The ECB has already expressed concerns about high inflation in the region, having revised up its inflation forecasts for 2012 to take into account higher oil prices and higher indirect taxes.
"Inflation thus remains well above the ECB's inflation target of 2 per cent, implying that the bank will be less inclined to cut rates to support the economy. We expect the ECB will hold rates at their record low of 1 per cent through 2012," said Tomas Holinka, economist at Moody's Analytics.
He added, however, that a weak economic outlook, rising unemployment and sweeping austerity measures would weigh on consumer spending, which would should ease inflationary pressures.

The recent human rights showdown between the Chinese government and the United States over a blind activist who escaped from house arrest has once again thrown the far eastern country into the spotlight around the world, as well as given the two world powers yet another place to argue about the many factors straining relations. In the last decade or so, Beijing has established itself as the second most powerful country on Earth, yet its human rights record remains questionable, and its grip over every aspect of its citizens lives remains as tight as it was in the 1980's. Sure, the internet has provided the newest generation of Chinese with tools to gain a voice in the politics of the country, but every attempt at change as been thwarted by the wary communist regime.
As the years pass, Beijing will face increasing pressure to relax its solitary control over the country and allow its citizens more individual freedom. The task of playing "nanny" to each of the more than one billion people residing within its borders will become more and more difficult as the technology improves. I won't go as far as to say that the government will lose its legitimacy, as on a world forum, that scenario is unlikely to occur, however it may lose favor with its own people (if it hasn't already) and be overthrown when the next generation comes into play.
Likewise, with each passing year, America will gain more leverage in its ever-continuing struggle with Beijing over a number of factors that two world powers would be expected to have. Just like this past week, Washington and the media won't be slow to make known news of this kind to sway public opinion and gain allies in Asia. The campaign of the US is not to see a decrease in human rights violations, but to oust the communist regime in favor of one that promotes capitalism in China. However, I believe that all would prefer that the government implement reforms on its own rather than those reforms being forced by outsiders.
My question to you all is: do you think the Chinese government will reform (change) on its own, and how long in the future? Or will the reforms come with a regime change?

Take me there: camping in the Vale of Glamorgan
The wet summer is showing no sign of dampening our love affair with camping. To meet demand, the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales is launching six new campsites along its stunning Heritage Coast this summer. As part of a Rural Regeneration initiative, farmers and landowners will open the temporary campsites from the end of July to the end of August. Whether it's an on-site pub, spectacular sea views or breakfast baps cooked in the field each site has its own selling point, but they all offer a back-to-basics camping experience within easy reach of sandy beaches and the Wales Coast Path. Pitches from £10 per night. See perfectpitchcamping.co.uk.
Travel clinic: the Edinburgh Fringe
The dilemma Please help me to persuade my husband and teenage daughters that a trip to the Edinburgh Fringe needn't be a) "expensive" or b) "boring". I've wanted to go for years but they are resisting the idea. Caz, by email
Eclectic, colourful, frenetic and inspirational, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (3-27 August) is the perfect trip for teenagers with low boredom thresholds. And frankly they are the only ones with the stamina to do it justice. A spooky puppet show, all-female Roller Derby and Comedy Club 4 Kids (like an adult club, but without the rude bits) are just some of the family-friendly highlights of this year's programme (edfringe.com). Keep costs down by visiting the free shows, picking up same-day tickets at the Half-price Hut and by opting for self-catering, although you'll need to move quickly to bag a good deal. Homeaway.co.uk still has about 50 apartments to rent during the festival. Prices for a two-bedroom flat a 15-minute bus ride from the centre start from around £660 per week. Alternatively, youth hostels can be a good budget option for families. Four nights in a family room at the smart and friendly Edinburgh Central hostel costs £440 for four (syha.org.uk).

Rock, Paper, Shotgun
Genki Video Games
Kratos, the Ghost of Sparta, had already been on a long, arduous road before he made his appearance in the original God of War. The first PlayStation Portable release of the series, God of War: Chains of Olympus tells the tale of Kratos up to the events of the original. A prequel, if you will. A strong release, to be sure, but our favorite Mortal Kombat-esque Greek antihero also finds himself in an adventure that is a little less so this time around.
At the point where Chain of Olympus picks up, Kratos has already done the deeds that haunt him and has already been set on his path of redemption by the gods. Helios has disappeared, and with his chariot crashed to earth the Sun is no longer burning its way across the sky. Morpheus, the god of sleep, has arisen and cast a dark fog over the land to send both god and man to slumber. It is now up to Kratos to find Helios and to get him back into the sky, lest all fall under the heel of Morpheus.
Linda Hunt has returned to reprise her role of Awesome Narrator and sets the tone perfectly for a new outing. Likewise, the phenomenal graphics and sound do a great job in placing Chains of Olympus comfortably within the series. So when it comes to the production values, the portable version definitely holds its own against the console releases; however, the game isnt as strong as the others when it comes to design.
The standards of the series are here, to be sure, dual chains and all. The combat is the same system that fans have come to love, with chained light and hard attack combos sending bloody mythological creatures flying about. Dead enemies leave behind red orbs that are collected and allocated towards one of several powers, upgrading everything from increased combo damage to extending damage dealt by a summoned beast. This light upgrade system continues to serve the series well; and the ability to deflect projectiles with timed blocks was one that I particularly enjoyed. There is also a useful weapon introduced later in the game that can be counted as a proper replacement for the chained swords, which is a welcomed addition. Like the others, it takes a few hours to get to the really good stuff, but considering that the game clocks in at around 7 hours, even when you take the time to treasure hunt (for Gorgon Eyes and Feathers, to permanently extend health and magic bars, respectively), those few hours are precious.
If I may make a quick plea here, though: please, no more quick time events. I know the idea of a player still having control, however limited, over a very cinematic sequence is appealing, but I am tired of them. They were novel in Shenmue, not bad in God of War, but they have since worn out their welcome as games either dont do them right (Spider-Man 3) or abuse them (Heavenly Sword). At the least, limit them. Chains of Olympus does them better than most, and I think they are a series standard at this point, but I would still like to see them replaced with something more immersive.
I have always enjoyed the combat system, so I have no problems there. What I was disappointed with were the level designs and puzzles. The levels, despite being linear and offering a random hint, can somehow manage to be confusing. There were some areas that offered no hint as to what to do and I found myself amazed that I was completely stuck. The camera doesnt help either, with its forced mount making it difficult to spot doorways or paths. Judging by other gamers questions on the official PlayStation forum, it appears that I am far from alone. The puzzles have also never been the series strongest aspect, but they were in place either to serve a narrative purpose or to simply offer some non-combat variety.
It seems as though the only thing Ready at Dawn took away from the puzzles in the previous titles is that they must involve crates and levers. Do they ever involve crates and levers. The puzzles are often far too laborious for their own good: figuring out what to do is simple, but doing it takes forever. The difference between having to drag a statue a few feet and having to drag a statue across a room becomes readily apparent as you grind down on the analog pad. This is an action game, and having to haul objects, often obtusely placed, is the antithesis of action.
Still, the series manages to translate very well to the PSP. I was genuinely surprised at how much it looked and played like a God of War title. The series isnt for everyone, so those who opted out of the console versions would do well to stay away from this one as well its just like those, only in widescreen, portable format. For those that cant get enough of Kratos, then the adventure Chains of Olympus offers is exactly what you have been waiting for.
Overall: 8.5/10
