New Urban PSP Ad Campaign Launches
Sony's Director of Hardware Marketing John Koller announced via PS Blog today the following:
I wanted to give you some details on the two PSP ad campaigns that also kicked off recently. One campaign focuses on the new PSP-3000 and the other on the big games that are available this holiday season (or coming soon after), including Resistance: Retribution, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Madden NFL '09 and more favorites.
This campaign is one of my favorites because not only does it gives a nod to the awesome 'POV' TV spot that we aired when the PSP first launched back in March 2005, but it places the PSP within a colorful and diverse blur of urban activity. As someone who spends a lot of time in San Francisco and travels the country often, I see the way that people in different cities use their PSPs and I think we've captured that in a fun and interesting way.
The TV spots are fast-moving, 15-second snapshots of the PSP within several large cities, with local or regional musicians contributing their tracks to the spots. With the PSP, everywhere really does get better. Here are three of the spots, including a sneak peak into the TV spot for Chicago, which will start airing next week.
Taking the urban theme even further, we were able to work with local artists in 11 different cities and have them design unique PSP skins. It's an awesome way of working with local talent to discover the ways that they love their cities and communities and how they use their PSP.
Starting next week, be sure to visit the PSP module on PlayStation.com to check the PSP skins out. Of course I'm inclined to love the San Francisco skin, but think that they all offer unique flavors. Would love to hear which one you like best in the comments section.
Be sure to keep an eye out for the TV spots which are airing now, as well as the print, online and transit ads. For those of you lucky enough to live in or visit one of the five cities that we've focused on, you'll see PSP ads all over buses, subways and trains.
Let us know what you think, and have a great weekend! More PlayStation 3 News...

Sony has had the worst luck with their PSP urban marketing so far. Hopefully this attempt goes over a bit better. Has anyone run into these ads in the wild yet?

man I think sony and nintendo don't give a crap about the psp and ds.. the games are so lame (there are some incredible titles)
I think it's not right what they did with spider man fans with web of shadows

Padres got five in the 4th inning on their way to a 10-5 win at Los Angeles -- snapping, squashing, stomping the Dodgers nine-game winning streak.
Will Venable had a big night in the lead off spot.
Triple in the first, a double his second time up and an RBI single to get the fun started in the 4th inning.
Venable finished with four hits and was just a homerun shy of the cycle.
Adrian Gonzalez drove in the next three runs on one swing. His ninth homerun of the season. A-Gone was huge. He finished with a career best six RBI's.
Two pitches later, Chase Headley made it 8-3. With his third homerun of the season.
Two on in the bottom of the fifth for pinch hitter Manny Ramirez. John Garland -- got him. Garland's final batter. (117 pitches) He's now 5-2.
Padres, with 10 runs on 14 hits, get their road trip off to a good start.

Microsoft Office 14 set to go online
If loose lips sink ships the next version of Windows and Office are for now staying well afloat and steaming ahead. The software colossus has to date remained tight-lipped when it comes to the 2009 edition of the company's two cash cows.
It's the unmistakable legacy of Steven Sinofsky now senior vice president for Windows and previously in charge of Office 2000 through to Office 2007. Sinofsky ran a tight ship during his Office tenure and those habits have taken root at the same time as he exerts the same discipline over at the Windows 7 bunker.
However Office 14 (Microsoft skipped the unlucky '13') is working to a strict timetable â and that timetable decrees that Beta 1 should be ready to drop. In fact it indicates that Microsoft is already a little off the pace: Beta 1 was slated for the first half of 2008 and we've just nudged into the back end of the year. But we're willing to cut the 'Softies a little slack because well we can't think of the last time such a major release hit the bullseye.
In fact the same timetable suggests that Office 14 should be ready for release in the first half of 2009 and we can't see that happening. No we're punting on an RTM (Release To Manufacture) date well into the second half of 2009 which would likely see Office 14 christened as Office 2010.
That would fit nicely into a similar release schedule for Windows 7 (Windows 2010?) and repeat the pattern that's seen a simultaneous launch of the new versions of Windows and Office in the days of 95 XP and Vista. Let's face it — Microsoft wants to sell you Windows and Office as a package and figures it's easiest to do so when people are naturally shelling out for a new PC.
In addition to the aforementioned timetable something else we know about Office 14 is that Microsoft wants it to take a carefully measured step in the direction of online applications and 'cloud computing' while helping Office maintain its desktop-resident dominance.
The answer according to Bill gates when he addressed Microsoft's Office System Developer Conference in San Jose California earlier this year was to extend the model of Outlook Web Access to the rest of the suite so that users could access their applications and data online.
âOutlook Web Access is not the full version of Outlook but if you want to go into a kiosk or an Internet cafe and browse and connect it gives you plenty of functionalityâ Gates observed in response to a developer's question from the floor about how Office could compete with Google Apps. âAs we look at all the modules (in Office 14) have in mind the equivalent of Outlook Web Access.â
âIf you look at spreadsheets maybe you'll not be able to set up all the data models [online] but you'll be able to read documents change a few assumptions and try things outâ Gates said.
The broader philosophy behind this was expounded by CEO Steve Ballmer last week during Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston Texas. Ballmer re-iterated the company's belief in what he calls âSoftware Plus Servicesâ. This is Microsoft's own mash-up of the PC platform the Internet and the hardware itself âin which the world moves to integrating … the best of the personal computer with the best of the enterprise with the best of the Internet with the best of devicesâ Ballmer explained.
âThe PC gives you control; the enterprise gives the business control; the Internet gives us scale anytime operation and immediate deployment; and devices give us the convenience of new form factors.â
And the future Ballmer sees âis about having a platform in the cloud just as we have an operating system for the client for the server for devices. (For) deployment the world will insist on a model that I call 'Click to Run'. That's kind of the way Web sites today work or HTML works: you click something and it runs. You don't click (and) hit install you don't click and configure you click to run. And the model in the Software Plus Services world will be a model of Click to Runâ.
âThe same thing for Microsoft Office. You'll see a range of announcements over the next six months about the directions we're taking with Microsoft Office. We need to make it click to run. We don't need to make it less full-featured and less functional and less capable but we have to drive it down this path.â

On November 20, 1943, in the first trial by fire of America's fledgling amphibious assault doctrine, 5,000 men stormed the beaches of Tarawa, a seemingly invincible Japanese island fortress barely the size of the 300-acre Pentagon parking lots. Before the first day ended, one-third of the marines who had crossed Tarawa's deadly reef under murderous fire were killed, wounded, or missing. In three days of fighting, four Americans would win the Medal of Honor and six thousand combatants would die.
Now, Colonel Joseph Alexander, a combat marine himself, presents the full story of Tarawa in all its horror and glory: the extreme risks, the horrific combat, and the heroic breakthroughs. Based on exhaustive research, never-before-published accounts from marine survivors, and new evidence from Japanese sources, Colonel Alexander captures the grit, guts, and relentless courage of United States Marines overcoming outrageous odds to deliver victory for their country.
Colonel Joseph H. Alexander (Ret.), a combat veteran who served in the Marine Corps for 28 years, is the author of six books and has helped produce 25 military documentaries. He lives in Asheville, North Carolina.
©1995 Joseph H. Alexander, 2009 by Findaway World, LLC (P)2009 Findaway World, LLC
"The first complete and definitive account of the Battle of Tarawa." (Major General Mike Ryan, USMC [Ret.], Navy Cross recipient)
"A gripping narrative of one of the bloodiest battles of WWII in the Pacific theater." (Publishers Weekly)
"Without a doubt the best narrative of the struggle ever produced." (Richard B. Frank, author of Guadalcanal)
"The Definitive Battle History of Tarawa"
Col. Alexander's "Utmost Savagery: The Three Days of Tarawa" is the definitive battle history of this epic event. It is my understanding that he worked closely with historian Richard B. Frank and was able to tap into newly translated official Japanese war histories to uncover the Japanese side of the story. He also drew upon numerous interviews with veteran participants including war correspondent Robert Sherrod who landed with the Marines. Alexander's work is one of the finest battle histories I have ever read. Expertly narrated, I highly recommend this title to anyone interested in WW2 history.
"Utmost Savagery."
A Great Story about Tarawa and the Pacific War. I like history and espically WW ll in the Pacific so naturally I was drawn to this Book. I would recommend this book to others.
"Not what at all it advertises"
Anyone unfamiliar with the battle for Tarawa may gain some knowledge.
If this book had truly contained the kind of information available only to those who were there on the ground and what they experienced and saw the book miight have been great. Instead it was primarily a rehash of what the major players (e.g., generals, colonels, majors admirals, etc.) did and said. I stopped reading about 2/3s of the way through due the lack of individual marine or soldiers reports.
It was well written as a command report.
"With the Marines at Tarawa"
This is why I listen to books. This little book is densely packed with tons of great research. I tried to read this in print and got stuck. But, on audio, I blew through this book quickly. Terrific history of the nearly 6,000 lives lost on both sides over a couple of days in a fight to the death on the most heavily defended atoll in the Pacific, an island battleground that is the size of the parking lot at the pentagon. Impeccably researched. Well written. Boldly narrated, Very entertaining.
"Read Like a Military Operation"
First off, any book about the island campaigns during WW II should be read. Having said this, I am bit hesitant on one like this, for my tastes. The first several chapters contain a lot of detail about the TO lines of both the US and Japanese forces. For some readers who want to know all the pre-battle unit organizational details this is a must. I prefer to read about the battle itself and the conflicts and struggles of individual Marines during the taking of an objective.
Still a good story and narration by Tom Weiner.
"Tactical presentation provides a most vivid and visceral accounting of the battle."
While I have read several accounts of Marine Corps military pacific war actions...all employing memoirs to convey the intensity and knowledge of the military history of each event I believe the thorough use of the tactical narrative captured my interest greater than any of those utilizing memoirs.
I am profoundly impacted by this account of the battle for Tarawa...being eight years old at the time of the battle and listening to the comments regarding the tragic but heroic aspects from neighbors
"Compelling History"
Yes, but only if they were in interested in WW II or history in general. Most people are too wrapped up in their online life to give a book like this a listen. Sad, but true.
Not applicable to a book of this type.
His narration is among the best. One of my top five favorite narrators. WW II is one of my primary areas of interest, but I actually found this book by searching his name.
This book didn't evoke emotion such as books like "For Crew and Country", "Neptune's Inferno" or "The Battle of Midway" by Craig Symonds did, but it was nonetheless a book that made me seriously think about the sacrifices made on these islands.
This is a solid book with good historical information about a battle that I knew little about before. It gives a good amount of biographical detail about the main players without getting too far into the weeds like so many books do. Definitely worth the listen. However, I'm not sure another narrator could have pulled it off. His narration definitely kept me engaged.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will visit Cairo on Thursday in a tour to the Middle East in light of the recent tension between Israel and the Palestinians, said an Egyptian diplomat.
Clinton will discuss Egypt's efforts in reaching a truce between Israel and the Hamas government that controls the Gaza Strip, the Middle East News Agency reported the diplomatic source as saying.
Since Wednesday, the Gaza Strip has been hit by Israeli airstrikes that caused the death of over 100 people, including 27 children, and the injury of many.
Hamas has also launched attacks on Israeli territories killing three civilians upon the collapse of their residence.

DNR closes Bass Lake landing due to dangerous ice
The boat landing for Bass Lake in St. Croix County has been temporarily closed to vehicles because of deteriorating ice, the state Department of Natural Resources reported today, Friday, Feb. 18.
The landing is located at the north end of the lake off Townline Road in the Town of Somerset. Unseasonably warm weather has caused an early melting of ice close to the access. Several vehicles have broken through the ice right at the ramp, DNR conservation wardens said.
Currently there is no safe way to drive a vehicle on or off the ice from this public access. Soft mud and sediment around the site make it impossible for drivers to steer around the weakened ice at the lake's only landing. An ice fishing contest scheduled for Feb. 26 might have to be cancelled, wardens said.
People can still walk on to the ice at their own risk. There are four ice fishing shelters on the lake. Persons attempting to remove their ice shelters should work to find alternate shoreline sites on the lake where this might be possible.
"We want to protect people from getting stuck or getting injured, and we want to prevent damage to the landing," said warden supervisor David Hausman. "We are closing the site and posting signs which are effective immediately."

Obviously, AdSubtract doesn't come with a tin. It's software. But if it came with a tin, which it doesn't, it would do exactly what it says on the tin, even though since there's no tin this is a fairly academic thought, and moderately pointless. Shall we start again? AdSubtract CE (which I use) is the cookie edition of AdSubtract. You'll probably already know what AdSubtract does, but you might not know how well it does it. So. Let's show you. Today, I've been surfing the web for about two hours, and it reckons it's removed 567 ad banners. Good thing? Well, kind of. More on that below. CE also lets you control and delete cookies. You can block cookies from particular sites if you like, delete all cookies except the ones you trust, and also delete your internet cache too. It works as a proxy server for your browser, so all your internet traffic gets put through it to remove the ads. Now, for the bad news. Bad news 1: AdSubtract seems to slow down my browsing slightly (but then, I'm on ADSL, so slowing my browsing down slightly still means it's very quick). It does make it a slightly more pleasurable experience, particularly with sites which have huge adverts blocking much of what you want to see. Bad news 2: Sometimes it breaks sites, particularly my bank, but switching it off is just a case of right-clicking the icon in the task bar so no major problems there. Bad news 3: By using this product, or others like it, you are actively putting sites out of business. Why is AdSubtract a bad thing? Companies like dooyoo depend, up to a point, on advertising. It's not their only revenue stream, but it forms a major part, and dooyoo (like many sites) may get paid per IMPRESSION, not per click. If you surf 20 pages on dooyoo, you might earn them about 50p. But if you don't allow the ads to show by using AdSubtract, then you actually just cost them money in band
width. Now, true, a lost 50p won't kill dooyoo - but if 50% of people used this software, it would mean that the amount of money sites like dooyoo earn from advertising would halve: or worse, depending whether the reduced number of available impressions means that advertisers won't touch sites anyway. That's not stopping me from using AdSubtract, but it's certainly worth bearing in mind. It could well be said that you're stealing from sites by not allowing their advertising to appear. But, if you want ads to disappear from your screen, it's just what the doctor ordered. Except obviously you haven't got a doctor who'll order this for you anyway, and even if you did, chances are it wouldn't be available under the NHS. So, it kind of isn't what the doctor ordered at all, but if it was the kind of thing that doctors would order, and if removal of ads would benefit your health, then this would be just the kind of thing that doctors would order, except they wouldn't in real life because doctors don't order this kind of thing. Shall we start again?
~ ~ If, like me, you're totally fed up to the back teeth with all these pop-up ads and banners that seem to be on almost every site you visit on the Web these days, including our own beloved dooyoo, then I suggest you go and have a look at this new programme that I found through a recommendation in a computer mag. ~ ~ It's called AdSubtract, and quite simply, it stops in their tracks all those uncalled for and unwanted advertisements, and as a result also speeds up your system considerably. I got a new computer recently, so I wasn't particularly unhappy with the speed I was managing anyway, but having only downloaded this programme a couple of days ago, I have to say that there's been a marked and noticeable improvement even on the good speeds I was achieving previously. If you're using an older system, or a 28K modem, then I'd say you would achieve even better results than me, and would speed up your connection times enormously. ~ ~ A lot of sites these days pay their way by selling advertising space, (dooyoo included!!) but there is no doubt that, while they are a necessary evil in order to make money from the site's point of view, they have the capacity to get right up the nose of most users after a time. The first few times they pop into view is OK, but when they keep on and on doing so endlessly, it begins to become a real pain, and to detract from the enjoyment the user gets from the site. ~ ~ A lot of Web users now enter hundreds of the competitions that are advertised at online sites. You know the type of thing; win a million dollars, a weekend in Paris/Florida/the North Pole (joke), a free mobile phone, and so on. Be careful! This is often simply a way to get you to reveal your personal information, (email address for one) so that they can then "track" you on any other sites that are running their ads, and also sell on your email address to other companies who will
then swamp your mail box with the universally despised "Spam" mail. Another fact that some people don't realise is that a lot of these sites also store "cookies" on your actual hard drive. Not only do these take up space, but they can sit there for a long time, (sometimes a year or more) and some even send back information about you and your surfing habits to the company involved. ~ ~ Once you have installed the system it basically runs itself, and simply sits on your toolbar working away quietly in the background. It automatically configures itself to whatever browser you happen to be using, and is totally compatible with Internet Explorer, Netscape, AOL, and Opera, to name some of the most popular. It doesn't even matter what way you access the Internet, as it will work with a dial up modem connection, or with cable or ISDN. ~ ~ You can check at anytime how many ads or cookies it has blocked and from which website. I use it now while browsing both dooyoo and Ciao, (amongst others) and was totally astounded at the numbers of ads and cookies it had blocked. I'm not going to spoil your fun by giving you figures; (it was a LOT) go and try it yourself and you'll very quickly see what I mean. If you do want to support dooyoo by responding to some of their advertisers, (and remember that this helps to pay the wages at dooyoo and also our own payment for reads) then this is no problem. There is a facility to customise the programme so that it will allow ads and cookies from up to five sites of your own choosing. I now enter dooyoo into the "filters" box for about the first half hour or so I am on line, in order to view any new "pop-ups" or banner ads, then simply go back and block them once I have done so. This facility is also very important if you use an online banking facility, for example, as many of these sites actually REQUIRE to download cooki
es to your system in order to work at all. ~ ~ You can even ask AdSubtract to give you an audio warning each time it blocks something, but to be honest, this was only fun when I first started to use it and I very quickly disabled this function, as it becomes very annoying after the first few times. ~ ~ Now for the good news. This programme is free, and not a trial version, so once you have downloaded it it's yours for as long as you want. The download itself is fast, as the programme is only 2.5 MB in total, and very simple to install and get up and running. If you're interested, go to www.adsubtract.com. Go on. Give it a try, and see what you think. All you have to lose is your slow browsing speeds and all those annoying pop-ups and banners.
This is a brilliant piece of software – and it's free! AdSubtract is a little program that works along side your web browser (proxy server for techies!) and filters out banner adverts & cookies from web pages before you download them. Now, I have to admit, I was a bit sceptical that a program could just remove banner adverts from web pages without causing any problems (e.g. blocking a real part of the website or something), but it works – and it works very well! This big advantage of this, is that it speeds up the time taken to download a web page, and, of course, gets rid of all the distracting flashing adverts and such like. This dooyoo site for example, AdSubtract has blocked 16 adverts so far & I've only been on the site for a few minutes. On my current connection this equates to about 1 minute of download time purely for adverts. The other thing that AdSubtract can do is block cookies. Most people at this point will be wondering what on earth cooking got to do with the internet! It is a sad fact that the majority of internet users do not know what cookies are & more importantly, the implications of them. Right now, you probably have hundreds of cookies on your PC. So what is a cookie & why would you want to block them? Well, a cookie is basically a small file created by a website. Each time you visit the site, the cookie is sent to a fro from your PC to the website. The cookie is used to store various information relating to your usage of the site. Some cookies can store useful data, such as your 'favourites' or account information so that you don't have to keep entering it into the site. However, by far the most common use for cookies is to keep track of your internet activity. Advertising agencies use this to keep a continually updated database of your activities, if you enter your name & address details to a site connected with that agency, this
can then be cross-referenced with this database & you are likely to find 'targeted' junk mail heading your way! Of course this does raise questions of privacy, I think that all users should be informed that their activities are being monitored. AdSubtract can block all, some or none of these cookies. It also has the option to automatically blocks the most common ad agency cookies while leaving all others free. You can specify sites to block & sites not but that will take a little initial work. All this functionality works seamlessly & you soon forget just how many adverts websites used to have! It does put another icon in your task tray (which I don't really like) but it's certainly not going to stop me using it! AdSubtract has 3 different versions, these are… SE: This is the free one (a full product, but with a limitation of 5 custom sites, i.e. for cookie blocking) CE: ($14.95 - <£10) As above but without the limitation PRO: ($29.95 - <£20) As above, but has the ability to stop pop-ups, animations, sound, & can highlight the more dangerous online 'profiling' cookies. I'm happy with the SE version at present, however may well be tempted by the PRO version as I like the idea of stopping those annoying pop-up windows that many sites have. If I go for it, I'll be sure to update this opinion! It's not often a truly useful utility comes along, but this is certainly one of them – a must have – at least the free version! Thanks for reading (sorry if it's a bit long!) **UPDATE** Ok, so I did it! I bought the full version! Worth it? Well, not really, wish I hadn't now - it's all very good but most options you have to turn off or most sites simply won't work properly, the free version had the most useful options in. The only thing is does give me of real use is the stop pop
-up windows - which on some sites are very annoying. And you can also stop cookies for all sites, only enabling the few you need to (free version limited to 5 sites for this). So then, get the free version but unlesss you don't mind configuring just about every site you go to or just turning off the other options, don't bother with the PRO version.

In Atapuerca, Spain, lies a place known as La Sima de los Huesos (the Pit of Bones). At the bottom of this pit are the remains of 28 ancient humans which have been dated back 600,000 years. However, some scientists disagree and say the bones are 400,000 years old and have been misidentified.
Far from being a 600,000-year-old lair of a species called Homo heidelbergensis, he believes the pit is filled with Neanderthal remains that are no more than 400,000 years old. The difference in interpretation has crucial implications for understanding human evolution.
"The Atapuerca finds are hugely important," said Stringer. "There is no other site like it in terms of numbers of bones and skulls of our ancient predecessors. It is the world's biggest collection of ancient human fossils and the team there has done a magnificent job in excavating the site. However, if we cannot correctly fix the age and identity of the remains then we are in trouble. Getting that wrong even affects how we construct our own evolution."
La Sima de los Huesos was discovered by potholers exploring Atapuerca's cavern system. One brought back a few fragments of human bone. Excavations led by Juan Luis Arsuaga, of Madrid university, began in 1990 and within two years had uncovered two complete human brain cases. Ribcages, leg bones and jawbones were also dug up. Arsuaga tentatively dated the finds as being 300,000 years old.

BIG business is being targeted by cyber-criminals in "ransomware" attacks, threatening deletion or freezing of crucial business files unless money is paid.
A new national survey of Australian big business reports that in September last year, 25 organisations reported ransomware attacks.
Releasing the 2012 Cyber Crime and Security Survey Report in Melbourne, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus says businesses were at times reluctant to report the attacks, which were linked to organised crime.
"And of course that's the very thing that should be reported to CERT Australia, the Australian government's response team, or to the federal police, to get help and prevent the attacks occurring in the first place," Mr Dreyfus told reporters on Monday.
The survey report found in the worst case, one business lost 15 years worth of critical business data.
With one in five major Australian businesses suffering a cyber attack in the past year, the survey reported attacks are becoming more co-ordinated and targeted.
It also found one third of attacks involved the theft of notebook and tablet computers or mobile devices.
"Most attacks occur from outside the business, although it appears internal risks are also significant," Mr Dreyfus said.
The survey found that energy, defence, communications, banking, finance and water organisations are now investing more heavily in cyber security.
But it noted with concern the level of IT security some big businesses have in place.
It found only 64 per cent applied IT security standards or guidelines, less than 50 per cent had plans in place for removable storage devices such as USB memory sticks, and almost 35 per cent had IT security staff with no formal training.
More than 90 per cent of respondents deployed firewalls, anti-spam filters and anti-virus software.
Mr Dreyfus said lax security standards and training were another message for Australian businesses.
He said larger companies without specialised IT security staff would need to think, "pretty quickly I'd suggest", about hiring people trained in the field if they wanted to protect their business.

All quotes by Bill Blass
(15 quotes found)
"Something about glamour interested me. All my schoolbooks had drawings of women on terraces with a cocktail and a cigarette."
"They are clothes for the American woman, for every aspect of her life, and every part of the country, ... There's no shock, very little to dazzle, just beautifully made clothes, beautiful fabrics in simple designs. Increasingly, I hear people say they can't find anything to wear, so that's what this is about."
"[He uses mainly silk and light wool in the collection.] People the world over want clothes that are lightweight, ... They may add another layer, but basically the clothes are sheer (and) very, very soft."
"There comes a time in anybody's career where there might be a moment to step down -- and honey, this may well be it."

In Reply to: Who shot John and who laid the rail posted by Mike Chason on January 11, 2010 at 18:13:
: My mother has said this expression for years, as well as my grandmother too. What is the origin of the expression "who shot John and who laid the rail"?
: I hope someone knows!
I'll check my books and see if there is an origin listed. What I can tell you is that I first heard, "He has been mayor since 'who laid the rail,'" meaning a long time, when I came to Kentucky. "Who shot John" I heard on a movie and took it to mean an old argument. "Don't start that 'Who shot John.'"

The US President Barack Obama and top Republicans are facing increasing pressure to strike a deal on deficit-reduction.
US stock markets closed down amid growing concerns that the country's debt-ceiling will not be increased by 2 August, which could potentially force a default.
Earlier ratings agency Moody's warned that it might strip the US of its gold-plated credit rating in coming weeks if the $14.3 trillion limit on America's borrowing was not raised.
China – the US's biggest foreign creditor with more than $1 trillion in Treasury debt as of March - also urged Washington to adopt responsible policies to protect investor interests.
Markets have reacted skittishly after little sign of progress came from another day of talks between Mr Obama and congressional leaders.
The president yesterday clashed with Republicans during an acrimonious two-hour session that produced no progress toward a deal, and a leading Republican said Mr Obama walked out of the meeting.
Mr Obama said that it was now 'decision time' for Republicans and not the time to play games.
He said he would not sign a short-term fix on the issue and demanded the 'largest deal possible' on reducing the country's debt.
US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told reporters that despite his office's best efforts it was impossible to find more time for Congress to solve the problem.
The US Treasury is understood to be making contingency plans in case a deal is not reached.
Mr Geithner said the eyes of the country, and of the world, was now on US politicians as they tried to find an adequate compromise.
The dispute between the two sides is based on the Democrats' wish to protect certain social spending while ending tax cuts for high earners.
The Republicans, on the other hand, want to dramatically cut government spending but are opposed to raising taxes.

wrong primers
By mistake, I just finished priming 100 204 cases with CCI small pistol primers. Question, do I need to reprime with small rifle primers or will they shoot ok?

Unless you are loading low pressure "cat sneeze" loads using shotgun powder (unlikely in a caliber that small), or maybe blanks, you need to press out the primers and use the right ones. There are all kind of problems you can have with pistol primers in rifle cases, and some of them are really bad. If you are careful you can reuse the pistol primers to load practice ammo.
If you had primed pistol cases with small rifle primers, that is safe and can actually work (it can also cause misfires) and would be worth shooting a few and see how it goes.

If you are loading with Trail Boss I would say Load a couple of them up, and give them a try you should do OK. I use Large Pistol standard and Magnum for Trail Boss loads in 7.62x54R loads. Again I would say load a couple and try with caution. You may end up with a pierced primer.
Do not use those primers for rifle powder loads. You will have pierced primers. It will more than likely cost you a firing pin, and maybe the firing pin spring as well. Even Magnum Small Pistol Primers can not handle the high pressure of a .204 Ruger load with rifle powder.
No matter how many times you do it and nothing happens it only takes something going wrong one time to kill you.

I regularly use small rifle primers in pistol rounds, but NEVER switch small pistol primers in rifle rounds. Not a heavy enough cup and to high pressure in rifle rounds.

You stand the risk of the primer blowing out and damaging your gun if you shoot them as they are.
The private ownership of firearms is an American Heritage. Anyone who disputes that is Anti-American and unpatriotic.

Thanks for the replys. I thought I should change the primers and had not even considered the pierced primer issue. I have used sm rifle primers in place of sm pistol primers during the shortage era. I am 73 and screw up occasionally, but so far I still have all of my fingers.

Just to expand a bit on what the difference between pistol and rifle primers are and why removing them is the right thing to do...
Mainly two different benefits from using rifle primers in rifle loads.
1) You get a hotter, longer and more intense burn with a rifle primer which is advantageous for the larger rifle case and the (sometimes) harder to ignite rifle powders
2) The primer cup thickness and durability is much more so in rifle primers, containing the extreme pressure of rifle ammo. Standard small pistol primers are typically used in cartridges running up to 35,000 PSI max pressure. The .204 Ruger runs north of 57,000 PSI max pressure. Some odd handgun rounds that run pressure beyond 35,000 PSI usually are loaded with small rifle primers simply to combat that pressure. .327 Federal Magnum is an obvious example -- it's a handgun round all the way, but run up to 45,000 PSI max and it uses small rifle primers exclusively.
Running a small pistol primer in .204 Ruger is a BAD idea. Good on you for asking before doing, and for catching your own mistake.
Attention Brass rats and other reloaders: I really need .327 Federal Magnum brass, no lot size too small. Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.

Our Gift of Knowledge to You
HISTORY Triple Play DVD Giveaway
If there are two things that the editors Gear Patrol never tire of, they are (1) watching the outstanding edutainment programming offered by HISTORY and (2) giving stuff away. That said, we're combining those two great passions into one stupendous giveaway. One lucky reader is going to walk away from this posting with an eyeful of TV on DVD, a prize worth nearly $70 (though it's hard to put a price tag on the kind of knowledge that will grant you dominance in Trivial Pursuit).
Hit the jump to see what you can win and how you can win it.
How Bruce Lee Changed the World
With his laser-quick hands and feet, steely body, and vast knowledge of Chinese martial arts, Bruce Lee was a one-of-a-kind powerhouse, taking on – and taking out – the bad guys with gusto. His astonishing skills brought him fame and movie roles, but who knew the real man behind the flying arms and legs?
Now, HISTORY tells you the whole story, from his birth in San Francisco to his mysterious death – some say the result of a curse – at age 32, just three weeks before the opening of his only U.S. film, Enter the Dragon. Along the way, Lee introduced ancient martial arts to the modern world, securing a permanent place in our popular culture.
With seldom-seen interviews and rare home movies, hear from those he influenced – from Jackie Chan to John Woo, Brett Ratner, LL Cool J, and Stan Lee – as we explore HOW BRUCE LEE CHANGED THE WORLD.

The Art of War
All warfare is based on deception. Therefore, when capable of attacking, feign incapacity; when active in moving troops, feign inactivity. When near the enemy, make it seem that you are far away; when far away, make it seem that you are near. – Sun Tzu
Sun Tzu was the Nostradamus of warfare and his book Art of War, written 2,400 years ago, is still the ultimate how-to guide for winning at war. This feature-length special from HISTORY weaves together the epic story of Sun Tzu himself, and relives a war in which his tactics posthumously saved a city from defeat – a victory at war that paved the way toward the unification of China. ART OF WAR is an emotional, epic and ultimately visual understanding of Sun Tzu's lessons, telling the story of other great battles in history, from Rome to the Civil War, WWII, and present day, that help to illustrate that on the battlefields of war, people who understand strategy are the most dangerous weapons of all.
Cost: $15
How The Earth Was Made – Complete Season One
Spectacular on-location footage, evidence from geologists in the field, and clear, dramatic graphics combine in this stunning 13-part series from HISTORY to show how immensely powerful, and at times violent, forces of geology have formed our planet.
From the Great Lakes to Iceland, the San Andreas Fault to Krakatoa, HOW THE EARTH WAS MADE travels the globe to reveal the physical processes that have shaped some of the most well-known locations and geological phenomena in the world. With rocks as their clues and volcanoes, ice sheets, and colliding continents as their suspects, scientists launch a forensic investigation that will help viewers visualize how the earth has evolved and formed over millions of years.
Cost: $35
How To Enter
Our friends at HISTORY seem to be just as invested in your advancement as we are, thus they want to give one of you these 3 DVD features. You heard that right, TV on DVD – gratis.

text: A journalist working for the Telegraph has asked her Twitter followers to consider if they would kill UKIP leader Nigel Farage, comparing him to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. "You know that time travel conundrum: would you kill baby Hitler? Same but Nigel Farage", wrote Catherine Gee, who claims to have been "writing about culture for the Telegraph since 2007", and has also written for the Guardian, Western Mail and Clash. She is from Lancaster, but is currently living in North London, and appears to have supported the campaign for the UK to Remain within the European Union. She is followed by several prominent 'Remain' campaigners, including Sir Richard Branson. "Sell him to an African family as a baby. That would be beautiful", she added minutes later. David Coburn, UKIP's MEP for Scotland, asked if she had "taken leave of [her] senses". It is just weeks since a serving British politician was brutally murdered, and many on Twitter were shocked that a professional journalist would make such a statement – satirical or not. "Really? You work for the telegraph and want to talk about killing Farage? After Jo Cox murder? Wow. Just wow", replied Dino Fancellu. Last week, Breitbart London Editor in Chief Raheem Kassam

We've seen cross-promotional campaigns before in that one game helps promote another. For example, those who purchased a collector's edition of AION got a code for a wings emote for their toons in Guild Wars. Similarly, Those who bought Dragon Age: Origins got a code for Blood Dragon Armor that Commander Shepard can wear in Mass Effect 2. However, one particular cross-promo is occurring between the unlikeliest of pairs, the upcoming MMO Rift and Team Fortress 2.
According to a press release, Steam customers who pre-order Rift by March 1, 2011 will get two melee weapons in Team Fortress 2 called the "Sharpened Volcano Fragment" and the "Sun-on-a-stick". Meanwhile, Team Fortress 2 players will be able to get an achievement that grants them a code for a headpiece in Rift called the "Well Spun Hat".
To clarify, if you're TF2 player you can get your weapons today (February 3, 2011) — after you pre-order Rift of course. If you want the Well Spun Hat then you have to first complete the Riftwalker achievement via TF2. Once you get the code and input it in the Trion account page, you'll receive your hat in your in-game mailbox on February 24, 2011, the game's headstart period. Rift will be released on March 1, 2011.
At first it sounded rather strange to me. After all, the cross-promo examples I mentioned above featured games made by the same developers: NCSoft for AION and Guild Wars, and BioWare for Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2. However, Valve made TF2 while Trion Worlds developed Rift. But the thing is that it's a promo through Steam, which was developed by Valve. Still, it's an odd promotion because they're such different games. I can't imagine there'd be a lot people who play fantasy MMORPGs like Rift who also play multiplayer FPSes like TF2. But then again, maybe there are!
Here are pics of the items.

Do you ever wonder why, in a Steven Seagal movie, characters with guns run up to Seagal's character from behind until they're almost on top of him, instead of just shooting him from a distance like someone with half a brain? Apparently the only person who hasn't wondered this is Steven Seagal, who has used the same gimmick to disarm, and then kill bad guys (usually involving the loud crunch of a breaking arm), since he burst onto the scene with the then-refreshing "Above the Law".
The tradition continues with "The Foreigner," a film that casts Seagal as the improbably named Jonathan Cold, an ex-U.S. Government operative working in Europe as a freelance mercenary. When Cold is paid to deliver "a package" to a gazillionaire in Germany, he finds a world of trouble. Curiously, as Cold goes about France, Germany and Poland (or in all probability, just different parts of the same country) trying to learn the secret of "the package", all I could think of was, "My God, Steven Seagal has not aged gracefully at all."
I must confess that the only reason I bothered watching "The Foreigner" at all was to see the present state of Steven Seagal, former action movie star. Unfortunately the word "former" is most appropriate, because Seagal looks unfathomably old and tired and, well, just old. His face has turned into something akin to a blow-up bag, and his cheeks are as puffy as bread dough. Also, he is still incapable of doing a "character", and continues to do the same character he did in "Above the Law" and has subsequently redone in every movie since.
It seems the only growth Seagal has gone through is in his belly, which director Michael Oblowitz gamely attempts to cover up by filming much of Seagal's stand-alone scenes in the dark or covered in shadows. Also, Seagal walks through the whole movie (yes, he walks; Seagal never runs, or has not run, since "Above the Law") in a baggy black leather jacket because, as we all know, black is slimming. Seagal is still sporting that unsightly ponytail, which now seems to resemble wavy tree branches instead of hair. Do you know how Seagal seems to suck in his entire mouth and make that painful looking expression when he's about to do something "action-packed"? The point is, Seagal seems determined to "play Seagal" for good now. "Range" is not just for cowboys, Steven. Hire an acting coach, for God's sake.
"The Foreigner" is a mess of a film. It's part Evil U.S. Government Conspiracy and parts "Ronin", a superior movie also set in Europe and involving a maguffin "package". Unfortunately writer Darren Campbell must have forgotten the Movie Law that states the maguffin doesn't matter, and shouldn't be opened — ever. As a result of Cold opening the maguffin, the movie completely loses any sense of mystery. Not only that, but what's discovered to be inside "the package" is a total letdown. See? There is a reason why maguffins are not meant to be open.
As a whole, the screenplay by Campbell is terribly clich'. The Evil U.S. Government Conspiracy angle is all about Shadowy Government Operatives talking about this and that, but never really doing anything of note. There is also a CIA assassin who walks around Germany dressed in the most outlandish pimp daddy clothes and use slang like he's a 10-year old in the ghetto. Gee, way to go with the whole covert angle, Superfly! Campbell also has a bad habit of having his gunmen, when they're about to kill someone (usually Seagal's Cold), go on a lengthy diatribe involving (supposedly) "clever dialogue", proving once again that screenwriters everywhere are still suffering from Tarantino-itis even in 2003.
The direction by Michael Oblowitz is actually quite good, even if he does make the mistake of framing some of Seagal's scenes from behind, thus hiding Seagal's aging face and protruding belly. (Of course, this also means we have to see more of Seagal's bizarre ponytail, natch.) If "The Foreigner" has taught me one thing it's that buildings, houses, and even businesses that are shown to be sitting alone in the middle of nowhere are meant to be exploded, engulfed in flames, or severely trashed. For example, when I saw a cottage in the middle of nowhere toward the end of the film, I nodded knowingly and thought, "There goes the cottage." True to form, the cottage was engulfed in flames moments later!
It's not that "The Foreigner" is a terrible movie, it's just a terribly bad movie. It's Seagal doing Seagal, which he has been doing since "Above the Law." The man has no sense of change or growth, and will probably "play Seagal" until the day he dies, or until people stop giving him millions of dollars to make a silly film where he does the same thing he's been doing, only slower and with less believability.
FYI: "The Foreigner" is the third of Seagal's movies to go directly to video shelves here in the States. If this keeps up, Seagal will be giving fellow former action star Jean-Claude van Damme ("The Order") a run for his money.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason is very funny from beggining to end. It is just one of those books that you want to read in every spare minute of the day. Great book, for ages 13+. However some content may not be suitable for all teens. The book is reasonably long, however that isn't an issue as the content is top quality beggining to end. There is a reasonably high vocabluary register however most will have no trouble with the language… Read Full ReviewClick here to check out all the books available on Amazon

Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason - I found the book difficult to read as I saw the film first. Perhaps if I hadn't seen the film it would have been different, but I found myself making comparisons and the film is not really like the book. Overall, I prefered the film as it was more comical… Read Full ReviewClick here to check out all the books available on Amazon

DENMARK - The Bay Conference baseball standings have been dominated by Hortonville and West De Pere in recent years. The Denmark Vikings are looking to change that. The Vikings share the conference lead with Hortonville with just two league games remaining. Denmark has a good chance to win their first conference title since 2005, which also happens to be the last time they made the state tournament.
Senior catch Alex Loberger summed up what a title would mean for the program. "It would mean a lot. A share of the title would be huge for us. Just coming from last year when we weren't doing much and then now to share the title would be great for senior year," Loberger said.
The Vikings twenty wins in 2014 are tied with Lake County Lutheran for the most in the state. This comes after they won only eight games in 2013. Even during last season's struggles Ryan Havlovitz said they knew the team had talent. "Coming off last year we had a lot of guys returning. We had a good pitching staff coming back and I knew we could compete for the title," the senior centerfielder said.
That pitching staff has allowed less than three and a half runs per game this season along with six shutouts as the team compiled a 20-3 record thus far. A unique part of that staff is the work of Jake Reetz. Reetz has six saves and two wins while pitching 20 innings this season, all in relief. "He comes in and gets the batters off balance and gets us out of the game," Head Coach Bill Miller said. His teammates said they have a lot of faith in Reetz to close out the games.
We finally have what feels like baseball weather here in northeast Wisconsin. Denmark couldn't wait that long. They spent a week down in Florida at the beginning of the season practicing, even playing a game while they were down there. That gave them a jump start on the season. "The guys that go down you get to bond with them. It makes your team bonding stronger and makes you feel more like a team when you get back," Alex Loberger said.
After their trip the Vikings won their first 14 games here in Wisconsin, propelling them into title contention but their coach is stressing the biggest games are still to come.
"We can't be thinking ahead. We've got to many things to get done. We have to get some of our hitting straightened out. We definitely have things to work on," Miller said. For seniors like Loberger and Havlovitz it's a sentiment that they've heard they're entire careers.
"Everything from freshman year on has been one game at a time, one pitch at a time, one out at a time so you've got to get your outs and play the game the way it should be," Loberger said.
Ryan Havlovitz added, "Just comes down to being focused doing the little things; making outs out of outs, pitchers throwing strikes, just bunting getting guys into scoring position, 90 feet at a time."
If the Vikings keep doing the little things, something big just might happen.

A key seems simple and uncomplicated enough. But today's car key is anything but.
Though the concept of keys has been part of our lives for at least 4000 years – when keys first were used in Egypt at Khorsabad Palace – car keys are still in their infancy, bursting on the scene with the electric starter in 1910.
To the average driver, car keys didn't change much through the 1980's. They all looked basically the same, with only slight shape variations and the different makers' logos. Many of us may remember accidentally unlocking and, in some cases, even driving away from a parking lot in someone else's car. (A CarLocate.com team member once inadvertently "stole" a car from the rental car lot without realizing it for days – silver rental cars all look the same.)
The dark ages of the car key finally ended with the fob in the late 80's. Fobs were to cars like the remote control for a modern TV, virtually eliminating the need to stick a key in the car door. They also armed alarms and made the car come to life with a flash of the lights and a honk of the horn, thwarting would-be attackers and even more often thwarting the panic that arose when you forgot where your car was parked – a benefit we still enjoy today.
Modern car keys come in all shapes and sizes and most aren't really keys at all. You don't need to insert them to enter or start the car. Just get close to it and a sensor in the key tells the car to unlock. Once inside, a simple push of the start button and you're on your way. The key never leaves your pocket. Some of today's keys know more about you than your spouse does and can trigger the car to customize your seats, mirrors, heaters, and radio stations to return to your preset, favorite position.
Today's key fob goes also far beyond the basics. Many can lower windows, open rear hatch doors, or even put down the top of your convertible all able to be triggered up to 300 feet away from the car. Don't be surprised when you see an unoccupied vehicle performing a metal origami of folding the convertible hard top into the trunk.
Keys now even have the ability to store vehicle operating and performance history. A service department can often diagnose issues with the car right from the key itself.
Like most advances, all this comes with a cost. Gone are the days of replacing a key at the local hardware store for 99 cents. Modern keys will cost you as much as $300 to replace. Some manufacturers actually get a pre-built key out of a vault when you need a spare. So in addition to coughing up hundreds for the new key unit, you may have to add additional fees for shipping. And, did you know these manufacturers keep only 2 spare keys in the vault? If you need a third, be prepared for extensive reprogramming or replacement of the vehicle central control modules, all the keys, and more, costing you thousands.
So, while a key may be small in size, it should be a larger part of your decision-making process when buying a car. Don't underestimate the cost of keys in used vehicle prices. If the car you are buying or trading does not have all the original keys, the value you will receive or pay for the vehicle is lower.
Car keys – not as simple and uncomplicated as once thought.

Something I never thought about...I didn't realize how complicated keys had gotten. I drive a 2006 Kia and my key does nothing but unlock the door. I feel like I am really missing out...maybe it's time for a new car
What a great history of the key! I never think about how complex they really are. They do so much more than were ever intended.

JACKSONVILLE -- One of the biggest ecstasy busts in the country has ties to St. Augustine.
Federal agents said Amy Cortada and her husband, Ramon, orchestrated the international ecstasy ring. Authorities arrested the husband and wife four years ago. Amy Cortada was charged in the case; Ramon Cortada was convicted on the charges. Before he could be sentenced, the two fled. Thursday night, federal agents found the fugitives in Argentina.
Federal agents told First Coast News on Friday that the two used a network of young women from around the country to distribute the drugs. One was even a college student at Florida State University.
Agents told First Coast News that the Cortadas smuggled more than a half a million ecstasy pills to Florida and the First Coast.
According to a United States Attorney's affidavit, the Cortadas recruited 33-year-old Robert Albright of St. Augustine, as well as Margaret Dobson, an FSU student.
Authorities said they uncovered the ecstasy smuggling ring four years ago at New York's JFK International Airport. There, agents seized more than 1,000 grams of ecstasy.
The shipment was on its way to St. Augustine. Authorities said it didn't stop there.
The affidavit said the Cortadas, Albright and Dobson would fly to Amsterdam, Holland, for the goods and then smuggle the pills into the United States.
Authorities said the pills went around the country from Miami to St. Augustine to North Carolina and Denver.
The affidavit said on three occasions -- November 1998, March 1999 and June 1999 -- the Cortadas and Dobson went to Europe for the pills. Before heading back the United States, Dobson was instructed by the Cortadas to wear a girdle filled with the pills around her waist.
Authorities said in one year, the group made more than $4 million.
Ramon Cortada is being held in a jail in Argentina on local drug charges. Once those charges are handled in Argentina, he will be extradited back to Jacksonville.
Robert Albright was convicted in the case. He is serving a 12-year sentence.
Margaret Dobson was also convicted. She is on probation.

Wild Ponies: Things That Used to Shine
Things That Used to Shine is an agreeable record, though one without many surprises, particularly if you're familiar with the '70s singer-songwriter boom.
Wild Ponies
Things That Used to ShineLabel: Ditch Dog
US Release Date: 2013-09-10
UK Release Date: 2013-09-10
Don't believe everything you read in the press releases. The one that accompanies the debut album by Wild Ponies – the core of the band has released two albums before as an acoustic folk outfit named Doug and Telisha for singer-songwriters Doug and Telisha Williams – practically suggests that Things That Used to Shine was the product of some past trauma that was quite severe, perhaps even childhood sexual abuse. However, when you sit down and listen to the record, you get the usual Americana tropes of troublemakers and troubadours, and nary anything that sounds remotely unique or not done before. That's not to say that the personal doesn't dovetail into this LP: the lilting ballad "Iris" is seemingly about Telisha's partial Aborignal heritage. ("Iris was my daddy's momma / Her mama was a Cherokee," she sings.) However, there's nothing really born here from deep-seated personal pain that would indicate this is a searing account of a life lived on the wrong side of a clenched fist.
All in all, then, Things That Used to Shine is an agreeable record, though one without many surprises, particularly if you're familiar with the '70s singer-songwriter boom. It has a few faults: the production seems a little thin at times, particularly on opening cut "Make You Mine", and Doug Williams is a less-than-commanding vocalist, and he seems to sonically get in the way of Telisha's signing on those songs in which the pair duet. Still, there are lovely touches to be had: "Broken" is a soaring country-rocker, and the title track is partially a nice nod to the retro-tinged vinyl subculture. Truthfully, this is an album that demands deep listening and attention to parse the subtle lyrical layers. But the album's best bit and biggest reward comes at the very end with "Another Chance", a six-minute rousing reverb-y ballad that is heads above the rest of the material, which, at times, comes off as rote country-rock. With more songs like "Another Chance" in the band's arsenal, they might have something truly towering to offer. Right now, their debut is simply all right and just a notch above what you'd hear from your standard local bar band. Things That Used to Shine isn't bad, not bad at all, but it could be stronger if it were shorter than 12 songs long and offered a few more curveballs such as "Another Chance".
