I am ready and able and willing and excited.
To go ahead and get this issue resolved.
In a bipartisan fashion.
Says that American families American businesses have some certainly going into next year.
I'm disappointed.
-- where we are and disappointed at what's happened.
Over the last couple weeks.
Public -- over the fiscal cliff is serious business.
And I'm here seriously trying to resolve it and how -- the white house -- terrorism.
Welcome to The Journal Editorial Report I'm -- if -- -- not exactly -- meeting of the minds this week between President Obama.
And house speaker John Boehner on just where talks to end the fiscal showdown -- the president.
For his part took his case to the public and repeated his call for a tax hike on upper income Americans.
But made little mention of cuts to entitlement spending something the speaker says must be part of any final deal.
Joining the panel this week Wall Street Journal columnist and deputy editor campaigning -- editorial board member.
Mary Anastasia O'Grady and Washington columnist.
Kim Strauss OK Kim so you're stuck in Washington having to talk to all of these sources.
Is the mood is in you've been working on this week -- -- is the mood is sour as it sounds.
It is and by the end of this week and here's why -- so you know the Republicans came out right after the elections said to the president.
You -- revenue here you won't revenue on the wealthy will give it to you let's do this via limiting tax deductions for the wealthy.
The president then of taking that running with it if it's the sealing a deal has been out campaigning for tax hikes and then to cap it off sent Treasury Secretary.
Tim Geithner down to congress this week with this absolutely outrageous proposal it's basically a -- violation of everything the president wanted in his budget it's beyond what he even campaign for.
And as a result I think most Republicans -- wonder just how serious he is about doing this they feel things are going back court.
You know that that's the way it -- to me too I talked to some senior Republicans this week and they're increasingly of the belief.
That may be the president.
Wants to back them into -- corner.
That could push them over the cliff and then be able to blame them if if you have a recession -- for taxes going up on everybody.
Well I don't.
Doubt that please try to it's hard to see where the -- site is for the president if the economy slips and -- recession and -- -- about 2013.
Having no growth.
-- horrible yeah and so it's a little hard to see what the game is I think as Tim was mentioning that the president wants these tax increases.
It seems to me we're gonna go through this sort of scorpion dance here through the rest of the year.
What did the president.
Campaign on what was the one thing I think most people would say that he campaigned -- that was raising tax rates on the wealthiest those two top rates right that's the thing that I think is on the table and the.
Republicans put that I'm the Republicans have put that on the at least through deductions and that's the debate with a -- toward him -- -- But but they're willing to put that on the table the question is what does the president then give Republicans in return if anything.
Well I think that's what the Republican position should be necessary we have committed to what you campaigned on if you're not willing to talk about reducing spending.
Then we're not going to be able to do would deal with -- and I think that puts the political opponents to some extent.
Back on the white.
How's married the that the Republicans have been fighting among themselves over there are no new taxes pledge and Grover Norquist the activists in Washington saying -- -- famously has Republicans on record as saying what I won't vote for a tax increase.
Are they.
Really ending up here negotiating with themselves in a way that hurts their position -- -- the president.
Well certainly they are and I think that the president is.
Energized by the fact that he thinks look I ran a lousy economy for four years I left unemployment high.
I increase the size of the debt and the deficit.
I'm I got everything I want and this -- -- some mass.
I got reelected.
So you know what's so hard about me continuing to do that and blaming it on -- because obviously.
I'm very good -- that and that's basically where he's going -- and the Republicans I think are not very good poker players first of all they signaled.
That there kind of really reluctant to go over the cliff and I think.
If you're in this kind of a showdown -- to say you know bring it.
-- and.
You'll do it -- that they will get blamed for it so if if if that happens is no question the president's already signaling so that would be a pleasant outcome for them we are saying that they should suggest.
To the president that we'd be willing to do that and then maybe he'll give at the end.
I think they have to show that they are it that he -- -- negotiation and that he has to give.
And that they're willing to and then if they just say look were so afraid of getting blamed for that of course is gonna roll right over them.
Kim where do you think the Republicans are where where should they go here -- mean do they have real options any other options other than maybe just giving the president in the end what he want.
You know talking to Republicans there's a very firm feeling out -- strong feeling that John Boehner should be given some more time to negotiate and see what he -- and yet.
Because look there is an honest belief in the Republican Party that there is a big problem here and if there's an opportunity to do something about the real drivers suspending regular.
Entitlements that they ought to take that opportunity.
They do think you see people turning around to the -- might be a plan B.
One thing that came out this week was -- -- suggestion by Tom Cole who's a Republican from Oklahoma.
Saying you know maybe we should just agree to.
These middle class tax extensions and just signed him given to the president that's what he says he wants.
Get that off the plate and then let him take all the political fallout for everything else that he you know comes that it that they economic can't -- operates the sequester and everything now.
So you still end up having to do something -- The yet spending cuts that are coming and on that on the debt limit and very briefly.
Well -- out but I sit and basically we're back where we were in the twenty -- negotiations.
The Republicans committing -- Tax cuts and tax increases and it Democrats promising to do something on spending later -- -- thirteen.
It's very hard to see -- that's gonna get resolved by the end of the year.

Issue 02, Vol. 01 Summer 2008 |
Welcome from Celes Davar | |
Welcome to the season of gold and the colours of late summer outdoor festivals in Manitoba. From the Winkler Harvest Festival (August 8 - 10), to the ever-growing home-town grown 3rd annual Harvest Sun Festival in Kelwood August 15 & 16, to the 45 cultural pavailions at Winnipeg's Folklorama, outdoor experiences in August in Manitoba is a well-blended cocktail of colours, harvest, music, wild nature sounds, and festivals. September brings the smell of high bush cranberries, the sights of purple asters in the meadows or long-nodding tops of goldenrods, and the strident sounds of elk bugling at Riding Mountain national park, and Spruce Woods and Duck Mountain provincial parks. This is the month for a long, slow sail along the edge of Lake Winnipeg, or taking in lake-front activities at Whiteshell, Gimli, Hecla, Lake of the Prairies or Clear Lake. In all these locations, the sunset photograph with your family or friends brings home one of the reasons that more than 80 percent of Manitobans take their holidays in Manitoba to celebrate family time together. This September 19 - 28, Sonics and Sojourns will take place. It is Manitoba's newest fall festival in Onanole, a 10-day celebration of learning and music. It features a closing act with Winnipeg's Juno award-winning singer-songwriter James Keelaghan, a new season opener of the Home Routes house concert series, song-writing in the schools with James Gordon, and including kite-building with Winnipeg kite-designer Sharon Musto, workshops about climate change and alternative energy, and presentations by Canada's national weatherman David Phillips. This is one of the first experiential festivals in Canada. It's right here in Manitoba. And, the festival organizers are intending to make it as carbon neutral as possible. |
Fall into Digital Delights
Our world has changed. I can remember a conversation that I had with Dick Toews at Photo Central in Winnipeg well over 10 years ago. Dick is a talented collector of vintage cameras, and is a master of the black and white dark-room fine art image production process. We were talking about these new "digital cameras" that were coming out. We both agreed (like TV arm-chair critics of a football game) that there was no way that digital cameras could ever achieve the resolution, contrast, and beauty of film. And, that was that. That was 10 years ago! To capture a few images your trip along a Manitoba road or trail this fall in a park or walking along the Red or Assiniboine River, nothing could be further from the truth. Today, you have a stunning choice of digital cameras with features and resolution that provide you with the ability to take the photo, control its presentation, and then incorporate it into a world of online possibilities for printing or sharing. Home printing technology has emerged and we now see the photographic image being used in more ways than we ever contemplated 10 years ago. Why not take that camera that has been sitting there with 200 low resolution pictures on its disk storage, that you have not yet downloaded to the computer, and quickly download them now? If you don't know how, ask your teenager or your neighbour's teenager to do it for you. It will take them a few seconds. You are now ready with camera in hand to have some fall fun. Just make sure to get rechargeable batteries and charge your camera's battery before you head out. Here is what I propose to every Manitoban for this fall, in preparation for 2010, our Homecoming Year. Let's go back out to Manitoba's great outdoors just once more in September or October for one day or overnight, to a new spot that we have not been to before - it could be a B&B in Minnedosa, or a hotel at Gimli, or a a lodge in the Whiteshell, or camping near a lake. It does not matter - it could be at a friend's place at Dauphin or Carmen or Boissevain. Just do it. And, here's the digital delight part. We ask you to capture only five photographs, with each one highlighting one of the following: 1. A fall moment a friend or family member, 2. A Manitoba fall colour, 3. The fall sky, 4. The texture of something traditional in your area, and 5. Something about harvest that delights you, as you travel along the road. That's only five photographs. When you get these five photos, you can upload them, along with the story behind them, to Travel Manitoba's contest website: www.itsmymoment.ca for a chance to win a trip to Churchill to kayak with beluga whales. You can also: + Download the photos to your computer and print them off. + Share them with five other Manitoba friends by email; + Put these five photos on Flickr, Facebook, your iPhoto Gallery, or any other online photo-sharing utility ((if you don't know what the heck I am talking about, ask your teenager again, to show you how to post them.it's really quite simple.); + Print them and put them into a card to give someone at Christmas-time to remind them of what a beautiful place Manitoba is in the fall. To return to the musing that Dick Toews and I were doing back 10 years ago, I would like to say that technology has changed at a rate we never imagined. But, it remains only technology. The taking of a Manitoba photograph is much more than the use of technology. It is really about expressing our care for a landscape and people that are part of our cultural traditions and the fall season, in Manitoba. Canadians have expressed in poll after poll, that the environment today is a top priority in the face of over-whelming evidence about global warming and the impacts that it is having on climate change. Let your photographs be the images that your grand-children look back upon and say, "my grand-parents had the information about climate change in 2010, and they acted on that information. Where did they find the moral courage to help protect this place we call home?" I am so glad that the world of photography has allowed us to fall into digital delights that remind, that document, and that help us to appreciate many Manitoba moments. Now, let's use these photographs to help protect our Manitoba for the future.

Manitoba's Bear Truths
Typically, visitors to Canada tour outside of Churchill, Manitoba in giant tundra vehicles during the bears' fall migration to the Hudson Bay ice packs. While that short season runs October through November, polar bears can also be spotted in summer and deep winter, too, usually with a different twist and vantage point. Bears Outside, you Caged? Walk with Bears-Very Carefully In July and August, Paul Ratson's Nature 1st Tours, launches its heli-hikes, flying adventurers forty miles past the tree line to the Seal River or Dymond Lake to explore the world of permafrost, or to Knights Hill to begin a day-long hike back along the Bay's tidal flats to Churchill. There are three-thousand-year-old aboriginal tent rings and kayak rests here, dating from the ancient Dorset, Pre Dorest, and Thule people. Thousands of beluga whales sing underwater in the mouth of the Churchill River-and, oh yes, there could be a polar bear or two out here. Summer's also peak season for Churchill Wild guides at the remote, fly-in Seal River Heritage Lodge for a "Birds, Bears, and Belugas" adventure, when the tundra is alive with flora and fauna: caribou, foxes, more than a hundred species of birds and a few bears.

The Magic of Migration
Most of the birds that wing their way south through Manitoba every fall follow a general migration corridor known as the Mississippi Flyway.When the distinctive, noisy "V" flocks of geese fly overhead, very few of us can resist the urge to look up in wonder as we witness one of nature's true annual spectacles. One-third of the world's birds are migratory. Weather and hunger force billions of birds to participate in these annual trips triggered by the changing hours of daylight. Some of the migrations are quite impressive. The Arctic tern flies almost from pole to pole (16,000 km flight) while the snow goose, often seen at Oak Hammock Marsh, is able to make the secondary hop from James Bay to the Gulf Coast non-stop in 16 hours, flying at an elevation of over 6 km. Birds find their way using navigational clues such as the position and movement of the sun, moon and stars, landscape features including coastlines and mountains, as well as the earth's magnetic field. Wind and water currents can assist in speeding up a bird's movements, especially for heavy birds such as ducks and geese, but storms can also wreak havoc and destroy countless migrants. Migrating is dangerous and exhausting, so why do birds take the chance? The answers appear to relate to higher levels of survival and numbers of offspring by traveling to other regions rich in food supplies and breeding territories. Perhaps this annual movement between summer and winter ranges became instinctive in response to the successive advances and retreats of glaciers and vegetation zones during the ice ages. As one of the hottest waterfowl viewing destinations in the province, Oak Hammock Marsh is a major migratory stopover for many ducks, geese and shorebirds. It is a safe place for the birds to feed and put on fat for the next leg of their journey. Geese and ducks begin to show up at Oak Hammock Marsh in early September and remain until mid to late October. Estimated peak numbers of waterfowl (ducks and geese) during the last two weeks of September and the first week of October at Oak Hammock Marsh is approximately 400,000 birds. Be sure make your own journey to Oak Hammock Marsh this fall for front row seating at one of the most amazing shows you can experience - the magic of migration! |

It�s My Moment - Your Story Could Win!
A chance to kayak with Beluga whales? Wow! Share your best Manitoba travel moment for a chance to win. Here's a recently submitted fishing moment from Lillian Tankard, from her experience in Churchill: I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T LIE Last July I had the privilege of escorting 5 Tour operators and one staff person from the Canadian Tourism Commission out of the UK to Churchill to see Belugas Whales. These tour operators are defintely Manitoba supporters and they have for many years sold Polar Bear trips to their clients in the UK but they themselves had never come to Manitoba. This trip was going to be different we wanted them to experience the Beluga Whales in Churchill, the very place that is known as the Polar Bear Capital of the World. They weren't convinced that Beluga Whales were something that would capture their attention, keep in mind that all these people have travelled the world extensively. They were under the impression that we would get in a big boat, be on the water for hours and hopefully see one whale. Well they were wrong, not five minutes away from where we left shore in our zodiac we came upon hundreds of Belugas including many baby belugas. They didn't know where to turn their heads to look, they were in awe and truly surprised. The most skeptical member of the group looked at me and said you didn't lie, there are really hundreds. Actually over 3000 Beluga whales come to Churchill every July and August. I am proud to be a Manitoban. |

Let the (Social) Olympic Games Begin!Corporate Counsel 2012-07-30 00:00:00.0 Athletes at the 2012 Olympic Games in London will be playing by some new rules this summer. Women will be boxing for the first time, and runners who jump the blocks will be automatically disqualified. But the rules the corporate world will be watching most intently aren't the ones that govern the events themselves. During what's been dubbed the first "social media" games, the International Olympic Committee is encouraging athletes to share their experiences with the world. Its social media guidelines suggest that they communicate "in first-person, diary-type format." But the medal hopefuls will have to watch what they post, blog, and tweet because the IOC, as the owner of the Games (and author of the Olympic Charter), has set limits on what they can say. They're not supposed to comment on other participants. They can't post video or audio of activities that take place in an Olympic venue. And as part of the IOC's ongoing efforts to protect the exclusive rights of official Olympic sponsors, athletes are prohibited from using social media and the Web "to promote any brand, product, or service." Welcome to the fiercely competitive arena of Olympic marketing, where so many high-stakes advertising dollars are on the line. For years, officials around the world have been on guard against ambush marketing from businesses thatwhether intentionally or notmake it seem as though they're associated with the Games, and encroach on the exclusivity that sponsors pay for. Similarly, under Rule 40 of the Olympic Charter, the IOC strictly limits athletes from appearing in any advertising for a monthlong window during and around the Games (unless a sponsor has secured a waiver from Olympic authorities). A recent ruling in the United Kingdom involving Nike, Twitter, and a pair of soccer players may have foreshadowed some of the issues that could confront Olympic officials. In June the U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority banned a Nike campaign that employed tweets by Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Arsenal's Jack Wilshere to promote the brand, determining that it wasn't clear to the public that these were ads. The athletic apparel manufacturer argued that its endorsement deals with the players were well-known, and that Rooney and Wilshere were free to tweet about Nike's "Make It Count" campaign "at their own discretion," according to The Guardian. All of the build-up certainly has the attention of the national committeesincluding the U.S. Olympic Committeewhich are responsible for enforcing the IOC's rules. Amy Savela, the USOC's associate general counsel for marketing, says that she and the legal department will be monitoring a running list of social media concerns ranging from the language that companies use to talk about athletes and the Games to what athletes themselves say. Attorneys and the marketing staff will field complaints, prioritize them, and flag them for discussion among counsel in London. They'll also try to resolve these complaints by reaching out to companies and athletes' agents to enforce IOC rules and the USOC's intellectual property rights. "This is the first Games where we're really seeing such active use of social media to promote the Games, which is going to be a challenge for us," says Savela, who's been in the Colorado Springsbased in-house department for eight years. There are various kinds of sponsorships connected to Olympic competition. Through the IOC's Olympic Partner program, an elite group of global sponsors negotiates worldwide rights to use marks such as the Olympic rings and terminology like "London 2012" in advertising campaigns, paying about $100 million each to sponsor a four-year Olympic cycle. Meanwhile, sponsors at a national level obtain rights to use marks such as national flags emblazoned with the five Olympic rings, and they have to limit their marketing to their own countries. The IOC shares the responsibility of protecting the Olympic brand with a legion of guardians, including the London Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games and the national organizing committees. The USOC, for example, is a nonprofit that was created by Congress to help support Team USA. As such, it licenses all the IP rights associated with the Olympics in U.S. territory. And even sponsors of the American team have to get approval for advertising copy from the USOC. If that sounds simple and clear-cut, it's not. The U.S. Equestrian Federation, for example, has a sponsorship deal with Land Rover, which helps pay for both human and equine athletes to make it to London. But Land Rover is not an official Team USA sponsor, so the federation's GC, Sonja Keating, has to watch out. "We have to be very careful about how we name our selection trials," she explains. "We cannot use the term 'Olympic selection trials' unless we enter into an agreement with the USOC as to the terms of usage, and the commercial branding of the venue." (Continue reading >>) Similarly, Keating strives to be clear with the federation's own sponsors about the restrictions that they, too, will face on the use of Olympic terminology. "What I don't want is for them to advertise and associate with the Games in a way that's not permissible," Keating says. "We're very careful about what we sell, and how we package it, and how we communicate it so our sponsors understand what they can and cannot do." Olympic executives and official sponsors dread the prospect of ambush marketing. The term can be hard to define, but essentially boils down to a company that is not an Olympic sponsor implying an association with an event that cuts into another company's exclusive deal. As Visa in-house counsel Christopher McCleary explained at a sports law symposium at the University of Michigan last winter, it's the kind of thing that you know when you see it. And when folks at Visa, one of only 11 worldwide Olympic sponsors, spot an ambush from a competitor, it hurts. "It's extraordinarily painful for us to think of spending many millions of dollars to get that association, and then have somebody else pretend that they've got it," McCleary said. "That's the nature of ambush marketing." McDonald's felt the pain during the 2010 winter games in Vancouver. That's when Subway, a nonsponsor, created a television commercial in which star swimmer Michael Phelps fueled up with Subway fare, and started swimming toward Canada, headed for "where all the action is"which struck many observers as a classic ambush ad. For all their rules, officials can be hard-pressed to punish the perpetrator of a clever ambush. Barring a clear IP violation, enforcement can be problematic. After the Subway episode, for instance, the USOC's chief executive, Scott Blackmun, took a naming-and-shaming approach, lambasting the sandwich maker for "taking advantage" of the Olympics and cutting into funding for athletes. The Olympic spirit "is based upon a spirit of fair play, and ambush marketing clearly violates that spirit," Blackmun fumed in a public statement. Rules like Rule 40 and the social media guidelines do make it clear, however, that athletes' eligibility may be at risk if they're involved in certain kinds of marketing. Companies shudder at the idea that they could be responsible for a disqualification. That's the ultimate threat, says Rich Foster, an attorney who represents the agency PMG Sports. "Companies get really cautious because they don't want to be the entity that disqualifies an athlete," he says. "What bad PR that would be for them." But no one can recall anything like that happening. The practical challenge for the lawyers working in this area is maximizing good publicity and steering clear of bad. And this year, watching those tweets strikes many as a big enough job. "It's more challenging because technology has afforded us a way to communicate in ways that we've never been able to communicate before," says the Equestrian Federation's Keating, "and we take that for granted oftentimes."

My plan was to save myself a lot of headache involving the silly amount of list and coordinate manipulation I was starting to do, and switch to Scala. Great idea, things are now moving pretty quickly. However, the decision came with some serious side effects. First, Scala takes a long time to compile. Type inferencing comes at a cost, and the compiler has to make two separate sweeps to make sure it conforms with Java type erasures as well. Scala's platform contains a lot of classes, all of which must be loaded into the class loader at runtime. The potential savings gained from having fewer lines of code somewhat offsets this, but I found that compiles were taking an unacceptably long time to run a continuous build.
Searching for good ways to perform unit testing in Scala led me to ScalaTest, and upon installing it I realized I needed to upgrade from Scala 2.8.x to 2.9.x, so I did that. Or tried to. Strange "file not found" compiler errors led me to the discovery that Scala 2.9 doesn't run on IntelliJ IDEA prior to version 10.5, so I ended up gutting and reinstalling IDEA from scratch as well.
Once I got through that minefield and got my simple tests running, I started digging into setting up the Fast Scala Compiler (fsc) server to run in the background. I've had very limited success with this. In order to actually get it running I had to configure it in IntelliJ, then run it, copy the line from the run dialogue window into Terminal, un-b0rk some of the whitespace in the command, and run the server from the command line.
For a long time I struggled against this, without success. Eventually I took a break, took a walk, went to the local cupcake shop and contemplated the matter while scarfing down a pineapple upside down cupcake. When I came back, I dug some more and found a more straightforward thread about setting up fsc in IntelliJ IDEA. Nick's description of the process gave me an idea.
I took out the port number from the fsc configuration screen and it. Just. Worked.
So, now I'm happily using the fast scala compiler, running my build every 30 seconds or so, cranking out unit tests to define my core logic behavior, and rapidly catching up to my last Java milestone.

Oliver and I have been pretty busy lately. Whenever we've got something to share with folks, it always feels like it's quicker to throw it up on our Facebook page, rather than put together a blog update. Laziness on our part; not good! We're going to try harder to keep this blog up-to-date and interesting. In the meantime, here's a few things that should have been here a while ago:
Issue #3 cover, from the ever-talented Jamie Noguchi! The rest of the issue is almost done. I just need to finish the lettering.
Here's a sneak peek at issue #4. These are Daniel's pencils for page 1.
FUBAR: Empire of the Rising Dead made the New York Times Bestseller list! Oliver and I wrote two of the stories in this book, so I think that means we're allowed to call ourselves "New York Times Bestselling writers" now. Seriously, though, congrats to everyone who worked on the book!
Here's an email interview we gave just after Intervention Con in Maryland last year.
Here's a new review of First Law, from a few weeks ago.
I think that's it for now. As I said, we're going to make an effort to be better about updating this blog in the future. Right now, though, I need to get back to work on lettering Issue #3!

I've been told I should take the issue to small claims court, but, I have no idea what small claims court does or when it's worth it to use it. How big does my dispute have to be to justify the cost? What disputes can I even take in?

Red Hot Buffet celebrates new floor with star-studded launch
Red Hot World Buffet Manchester officially unveiled its sumptuous second floor last night with a glittering launch event. The star-studded party was attended by some of the North-Wests favourite personalities, including Hollyoaks actress Nicole Barber-Lane, Manchester indie band Daystar and ex-Lord Mayor of Manchester, Councillor Mark Hackett. With the floor fully booked for Friday and Saturday within hours of launching, early indications are that it will be a big success. The memorable night was capped with a parting gift to each attendee, a souvenir passport which entitles the bearer to 20% off their Red Hot bills for the next ten years. The lavish new 10,000 sq ft floor, part of which has been fitted at a cost £250,000 and is designed to provide dedicated facilities for corporate and business guests, was decked out with a Riviera casino theme. The second level boasts private booths, individually styled to reflect the nationality of cuisines served at the restaurant, with the potential to expand to its full capacity to meet anticipated demand in the future. The incorporation of boardroom facilities with WiFi means that the restaurant can now provide a dedicated corporate dining area. Additionally, the flexibility of the space means that it can double as relief for the main restaurant level below during peak times. Following the event, Red Hot World Buffet director, Helen Dhaliwal, said: The launch has been a huge success. This is a brand new direction for our restaurants, so it was important to start with something a bit special. Weve had a fantastic reaction to the new floor from guests and were looking forward to seeing how diners respond now that its open for business. The floor has been designed to contrast with the existing theme of our restaurant interiors; it has a very retro, stripped-back feel. This trend is very fashionable right now, and we feel the Manchester market will welcome the bold, innovative design. Tables featuring mock games of Roulette and Blackjack proved a hit with the VIP guests, while the Red Hot World Buffet branded photo booth provided a fun, personalised memento of the evening. VIPs enjoyed complimentary drinks, canapés and many of Red Hot World Buffets signature dishes were served up. The launch of the second level will be followed by a week-long celebration of the Manchester restaurants one year anniversary from 2nd - 8th July, with each day dedicated to thanking a different selection of Red Hot World Buffets clientèle for their support, including: parents, couples, regular diners and the restaurants first-ever customers. The finale will see the unveiling of an enormous edible chocolate sculpture decorated with 1,800 petit fours consisting of 600 different varieties of tiny desserts. Published on 02/09/2013 |

Posted 9:46 AM 3/7/2013 : Mysterious Silverbell artifacts on display
TUCSON - It's a desert mystery that has baffled Tucsonans and historians for nearly nine decades.
In 1924, Tucsonan Charles Manier was traveling with his family to Picture Rocks, when he discovered what is now known as "The Silverbell Artifacts", along Silverbell Road.
The collection includes more than 30 lead crosses and swords. To this day, nobody knows where they came from. "Some people say the Romans lived here, others say they're from the lost tribe of Israel, all sorts of theories," says Julia Arriola, Curator of the Arizona History Museum.
Arriola recently decided to pull the artifacts out of the vault, after the History Channel's "America Unearthed" aired a documentary about the artifacts. "I think people are just fascinated by buried treasure," Arriola says.
Many of the artifacts have Latin words written all over them. "Some of the professors who looked at them found out the text was actually lifted right from textbooks," Arriola says.
She says one other strange characteristic about the artifacts is that they were embedded in caliche, which is a type of cement. "So whoever did it went through a lot of work," Arriola says.
The questions have led many to believe the collection is one big archaeological hoax. Arriola says we may never know. "I invite anyone to come in, have a look, do some research and find out for yourself," Arriola says.
"The Silverbell Artifacts" will be on display at the Arizona History Museum at 949 E. 2nd Street for the next few months.
To check out the History Channel documentary head to: www.history.com/shows/america-unearthed/videos
The video is titled "America Unearthed: The Desert Cross".

Bilateral shin splints with two possible early focal stress fractures of the right tibia.
#1 - Tc99m MDP Radionuclide angiogram of the lower legs demonstrates no definite areas of hyperemia. #2 - Blood pool phase of the bone scan of the lower legs demonstrates no definite abnormal areas of radiotracer localization #3 & #4 Delayed images demonstrate linear uptake along the posteromedial mid-to-distal tibias, right more extensive than left. At the most cephalad and caudal aspects of the abnormality in the right tibia there are more fusiform areas of increased tracer uptake involving cortex.
The term shin splints describes a combination of clinical and scintigraphic findings. Patients complain of exercise-induced pain along the medial or posteromedial aspect of the tibia. Frequently these symptoms are bilateral and can be asymmetric. Shin splints are believed to result from focal periostitis, microperiosteal tears at points of periosteal stress, at the insertion of the soleus muscle and its fascia. This fascia envelopes the soleus muscle and extends along the posterior medial border of the tibia. Scintigraphically this appears as mild to moderate radiotracer uptake, often of varying intensities, along the posteromedial aspect of the middle to distal tibia, involving at least one third of the bone. A more focal component to the uptake can predict further injury if the causative stress persists. Stress fractures in this region occur predominantly at the middle third-lower third junction of the tibia in the posteromedial cortex. Focal, fusiform increased radiotracer localization on delayed images is the classic finding. Intense hyperemia on the radionuclide angiogram and blood pool phase can help distinguish stress fractures from shin splints, which typically have normal radionuclide angiogram and blood pool uptake. Stress fractures occur when resorption of bone outpaces replacement during remodeling secondary to the increased activity. It is a continuum of injury spanning an early remodeling reaction to an overt fracture. A four-grade scintigraphic classification can be applied. Grade I lesions show an ill-defined cortical increase in uptake. Grade II lesions are larger, more well-defined, and demonstrate moderate increased activity. Grade III lesions have a wide fusiform corticomedullary region of activity, and Grade IV lesions demonstrate an extensive transmedullary region of increased uptake. In this case, the more focal areas of tracer uptake in the right tibia were concerning for an early stress fracture, low grade, in this athlete. Demonstration of hyperemia on the angiographic and blood pool phases would have made the diagnosis of concurrent stress fractures definitive.

Hanford's B Reactor tours still available for summer | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
If you're looking for a good day trip plan during the summer week day, there's always the Manhattan Project B Reactor in Hanford. They've announced they still have seats on their tours available for you to register for and it's free.
It's only a three hour drive from Spokane and four hours from Sandpoint, but once you arrive to Richland, you get a bus ride to the facility. Cameras are allowed during the tour so you can take all sorts of photos of original equipment and intricate electrical wiring if you're into that sort of thing.
A little background on the B Reactor, it was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2008 because it's where plutonium-239 was produced for the Manhattan Project.
To sign up, visit the Department of Energy's website. Visitors must be over the age of 12 and don't forget to bring identificiation.
Editor's Note: Here's a photo gallery I shot a few years ago while on the tour. When we took the tour, we got a plastic green bracelets that says "Manhattan B Reactor". Not sure if they still give those out.

I have a brand new website for easy sharing of music. The files are intended to be copyright free (home recordings, podcasts etc). The system though could easily be used for music which does have copyright on it.
My intention is to become licenced by PRS for Music or similar service. This would make transfer of copywritten music legal just in case some are uploaded. This would be a safety precaution.
Based on my research a licence allows a specific number of tracks to be download -- for example it may allow 2,000 copys of any track to be downloaded.
Let's assume that I end up having 10,000 downloads. Who would be responsible for working out what exactly has copyright on it? Me? Them? The copyright holders who want money?
I dont want to find myself a few years down the line being forced to check through thousands of music sets to find specific tracks (next to impossible). Who is responsable for tracking the copyright issues?

Sep 10, 2012I always wanted to get distracted in an MMO. To get lost in its world. In Guild Wars 2, I am so lost and always distracted by everyday surprises. It has everything I ever wanted in a modern MMO.
Sep 10, 2012One of the best game ever developed.
The secret Jumping Puzzles are just amazing, a new feature in mmorpgs that should be added everywhere.
I've been waiting this game since 2007 and i'm very satisfied. -
Sep 10, 2012
Sep 10, 2012This game is fantastic, beautiful graphics, tons of content, and a huge, immersive world. The quality of this subscription-free game shows up how laughable the subscription model is.

Sep 12, 2012I'm in Love with this game, specially using my eyefinity setup also its pay to play n such amazing graphics at every zone,what else can i ask for ? :]
Sep 12, 2012It's the first time in many years I had that much fun playing a video game! It's not that new, but it's so refreshing! With all the dynamic events, the view points that requires some jumping here and there, points of interests, crafting and gathering. Everything is fun and worth doing in any zones! You always get xp and challenge! It's always different.
Best game for me in the 5 years -

Sep 13, 2012Fantastic game, closest mmo to "perfect" I've seen since wow, Plus, with no sub fee, you don't feel pressured to play to get your moneys-worth out of it, staggeringly good PvE exploration and WvW is fantastic.
Sep 13, 2012
Sep 13, 2012This is a great MMO and it is getting better. Forget WoW. This is it! I love the fact that the holy trinity of tank/healer/dps does not exist nor is it necessary. The game is not about gear or grinding. All those other annoying things in other MMOs have been gracefully dealt with in GW2.
Sep 13, 2012
Sep 13, 2012Seriously the most innovative MMO.
Any low reviews are people with out-dated computers, WoW fanboys or outright Blizzard employees.
There is NOTHING bad about this game. -
Sep 13, 2012I'm very happy with GW2, I have enjoyed every second I have played the game and look forward to being able to spend more time with it. There is so much depth, but it's easy for me to pick up and play and learn new things. If you are on the fence I'd say now is a great time to start playing. :)

Nov 21, 2012edit 70 hours of gameplay one warrior lvl 48 and map completed to 25%; after the first two weeks of intense play I found myself playing GW2 really casual and even if i stop tomorrow, the price of the game is money well spent. Advice do not expect to find a WoW clone because the two games are very different in everything from PvE to PvP.
Sep 25, 2012
Sep 26, 2012Fun and innovative in the sense that you level up quickly without realizing that your doing it. Combat is fast paced and smooth, graphics are beautifully done, and over all game play is extremely enjoyable.

The game is huge and i feel like i will never finish it. I have had the game for 2-3 weeks and i am level 37 and have no intention on quitting now. (having friends with you is a great way to enjoy the game more.)

Oct 9, 2012Repetitive is something u should have expected. I'd play so many games, all looks repetitive, if u blame u need to push the same button in a game, please rethink noobs. I'd play COD and most of the time i clicked Left Mouse button for hours dude, opss kids. I'd played Starcraft 2, RE series, all using Left Mouse button mostly so stop blame repetitive on button. LoL
Oct 11, 2012Because of the pricetag, Guild Wars was a title which I returned to many times. It was a cycle of death and rebirth which ended in misery each time it played out. This was due to the fact that Guild Wars was a mouse heavy, Asian MMO, and had the UI of a generation 1 RPG. It was unwieldy, grindy, and made you work to experience the story. This is, of course, the exact opposite of Arena Net
Oct 13, 2012Loot drops like Diablo
RvR better than DAoC
PvP better than WoW
Public Quests better than WAR
Crafting and Gathering that means something
Personal Story like SWToR
Exploration better than any MMO
Bosses are awesome
Dungeons are OK, not great
Some map completion bugs STILL
ArenaNet over-nerfs stuff habitually

Feb 15, 2013Great graphics, nice character customization (not as good as Tera in this aspect), gigantic worlds and plenty of quests to perform and mobs to fight.
Swimming and diving are amazing adds to the game possibilities that cannot be seen that often on other mmo's.
It may take a while until you grasp the inner works of the complex crafting system. -
Dec 4, 2012Guild Wars 2 was my last MMORPG. The meaning of a MMORPG is progession, progression gets you too keep playing. soure: http://www.gamegoldfast.com/gw2/buy-guildwars2-gold.php

Jan 20, 2013Best MMO of our times. Seriously, you start the game and...relax. No repetitive content, no grind. If somebody does something like it - that's just because he likes it, not because he has to do it to get super-uber-gear-sword-pants. Tons of good brand new ideas. No subscription - unlimited fun.

Mar 31, 2013This game is like WoW just done right. There is no way to really summarize this game into 5,000 characters so I am simply going to say this. This is like all MMOs it is just 5,000 times better and more entertaining. And you don't have to pay a monthly fee!

Apr 18, 2013I like Guild Wars 2! It's the best game I ever seen. With no subscription fee I think a lot of gamers will buy this game Thank you Arenanet and NC soft for this beautiful rp game.
Apr 22, 2013This is one of the best MMORPG's of the decade. It has a lot of rich content, with random events popping up all the time, taking out most of the grind in the game. Its extremely balanced and there is no monthly fees. The quests feel natural and fun to do without getting tedious. This game is amazing and I recommend it to anyone who wants an amazing game!

Jul 28, 2013Absolutely excellent MMO. Great graphics, excellent story lines, variety of classes that are fun to play, constant influx of content, best events in the industry. PvP stands out with both completion based combat, and world conquest. No subscription fee, and micro transactions cannot effect competitive PVP.

Jul 30, 2013This MMO is the best out of every single one. I logged alot of hours in this game and I just love the secrets puzzles and the BOSS FIGHTS. HAVE YOU SEEN THESE DRAGONS IN ANY OTHER GAMES NO! They are the best boss fights I have encountered. Guild Wars 2 is easily a 10/10
Sep 6, 2013
Sep 14, 2013Best MMO of 2012 for me. This game's worth downloading. I have really enjoyed the gameplay of this game. The graphical details in this game is above any other MMO. I love all those powerstyles. Those power effects are well programmed. There's almost no glitches. The game runs smoothly. It clearly deserves a rating of 10.

Nov 9, 2013This game might seem hard and not as fun when you are starting out. But what game doesnt do that. once you get in a guild and start getting really involved with your guild and WvW it becomes the most time consuming addictive game ever.
Nov 21, 2013In my opinion, this is the best MMORPG ever. Better than the first Guild Wars, better than WoW and better than Lineage. Awesome graphics (artistic style), fantastic world, interesting story, balanced PvP, awesome soundtrack, good gameplay, monthly events, no monthly fee and more!
Nov 27, 2013Best mmorpg out there to date. Graphics are stellar the gameplay is smooth and entertaining the old boring questing system is done. There is 0 reasons to pay monthly for a game when something like this is out there.
Dec 2, 2013A great game, well deserved of the 10 points. It has gone through many changes since it first was launched and it is now more entriguing than ever before. Check it out.

Aug 29, 2012Absolutely superb game. It does have some issues right now with server stability etc, but what MMO doesn't on launch?
I love the dynamic questing, really makes you feel part of the world. beautiful artistic style throughout. Can't praise it enough. -

Oct 2, 2012This game is something new. I love that the questing system is not really there, and you have so much freedom to do whatever you want! The Event System is also genious. Despite all the bugs that has been since the early launch, I find this game to be very addicting, and is the best MMO I've played since WoW
Sep 23, 2012
Oct 5, 2012Like many of you I have been disappointed by so many games over the years but I decided to get Guildwars 2 yesterday and it is awesome!
I am a MMO fan and have enjoyed playing such games as WOW, SW:TOR, Everquest 2, Rift and Tera but I have to say Guildwars 2 blows them away. There is so much to do and see. Believe the hype! -

Feb 6, 2013GW2 has made a powerful impact on the MMO scene, confirming years of expectations. Stunning presentation and revolutionary design guarantee a thoroughly enjoyable experience. However, it's not flawless, nor complete. The beautiful vistas, the massive PvP element, the rich leveling experience- those can offer hours of gameplay, but the endgame is desperately seeking for enrichment. [November 2012]
Jan 2, 2013Guild Wars 2 surpasses the original in every aspect, from its massive and atmospheric world to its addictive and engrossing gameplay.
Nov 28, 2012After spending fifty hours with GW2, I have a lot of praise for ArenaNet's work and the way it changes up some of the typical trappings of the MMO. And yet, I find myself thinking less and less about it each day. It's not a declaration against the product, mind you, but simply a fact that this game still is very much an MMO, and your enjoyment will directly relate to how much you enjoy the genre. For many who were hoping for a clean break from MMO design philosophy, Guild Wars 2 will probably come across as a slight disappointment. It pushes the genre slightly forward, however, and could lead to even further development in the future.

Next up in Rosie's Burberry parade is the Burberry Textured Leather Tote. Shop Burberry via Bloomingdale's.
I love every single bag, especially her Burberrys. Burberry has a very special place in my heart as my very first designer purchase was a Burberry bag and scarf. This is my dream collection and I agree with you -her face and perfect body is so distracting that you almost don't see the handbags
love ALL her bags but the Chanel's! But why does her hair have to be so freaking perfect as well?!
You have great taste, Amanda. Beautiful bags but her best arm candy by far is her boyfriend, Jason Statham. ;)
Love her bags. Love Jason more ;)
i like the color ,the celine is awesome
Sorry, beautiful bags, but am I supposed to know who Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is??
I guess blue is her fav color, just i guess, cause she customized the LV with blue and if i were to have a birkin i'd buy my fav color which is red. just a guess hehe :)))
please please do a many bags of the Kardashians article! Kris, Kourtney, Khloe, Kim, any! I know they have amazingg taste in bags and would love for you to do an article on their bags
please and thank youu
Love her armcandy-man, and the Celine Nano..! But she is so thin! Makes me wanna take her home and feed her (and her boyfriend :D)
How is it fair that she looks so amazing in every photo, she is absolutely unfairly stunning, and she has Jason Statham and an amazing bag collection. Jealous. . .who me! Yes
This girl has great taste. Yes show it off. Style is to be shown if you have it.
Again she has done it correct.
These are sharp handbags!
Jason is old and ugly, why do you guys find him so amazing ? Did i miss something :P ?

What All Those Smartphone Industry 'Market Share,' 'Installed Base,' And 'Shipments' Numbers Really Mean
Business Insider
The smartphone industry is full of jargon that is difficult for non-insiders to understand. Charles Arthur at The Guardian recently posted a comprehensive explanation of a few terms that are the most confusing to casual observers, including "market share," "installed base," and "shipments."
It's easy to get caught up in headlines that point to Android phones having a dominant 80% "market share" in the global smartphone market, and Arthur wants people to dig deeper into that number by understanding what it really means, rather than take it at face value.
His article is a great read but at BI Intelligence we thought it would be useful to summarize his main points, with our definitions in bold:
1. Market share numbers are usually only a snapshot of smartphones shipped by manufacturers in a given quarter. Quarterly market share updates are not very useful on their own.
An example is IDC's announcement Nov. 12 that phones running the Android operating system account for an 81% share of the global smartphone market.
It's wrong to extrapolate from these quarterly market share numbers and think that 81% of phones in people's hands are Android phones. The number just means that 81% of phones shipped in the quarter were Android devices. As Arthur explains, it's ultimately sales that impact the installed base of devices, but most research firms and press reports actually discuss shipments.

Make Your Own T-Rex Book
From DK Publishing and Smithsonian. Make Your Own T. Rex combines everything you need to make a model Tyrannosaurus Rex with an exciting and informative book about dinosaurs.
The model comprises 80 sturdy photographic "bones" that press out from 11 boards and slot together without the need for glue — so there's no waste and no excess packaging. In addition to containing clear step-by-step instructions of how to build the Tyrannosaurus Rex model while exploring the anatomy, the book also explores behavior, and the environment of the perennially popular prehistoric reptiles.
Over 2 feet long when assembled, the model is based on a real Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton and is easy to build following the step-by-step instructions in the book. While focusing on different dinosaur anatomy for each stage of constructing the model, the book also answers questions like "why did some dinosaurs stand upright while others walked on all fours?", "why did dinosaurs have different horns and frills?", and "what was the world like when dinosaurs ruled the earth?"

The museum looks at the hydropathic movement, the reasons for building a large hydropathic establishment in Pitlochry and the impact it had on the emerging small town of Pitlochry.
A 15 minute film, The Story of the Atholl Palace, explains how the hotel has changed and adapted over nearly 130 years. It began as a hydropathic establishment, run on strict temperance principles to treat people in the healthy air of Pitlochry. During both world wars, two schools sheltered in its walls, and it relaxed into a luxurious spa hotel.
Rooms have been set up with audio stories, in accordance with the original hotel plans, to show the working life of a Victorian hydropathic establishment, including the medical room of the resident physician.
While you are visiting the museum, take time to enjoy the lovely gardens, abundant with wildlife, flowers, specimen trees and walks. You may also want to take afternoon tea in the lounge or have a light lunch in the bar.

Some computer programs are hard. Most > aren't. So it's a dumb comparison. If you say so. Most of the programmers I know go through three stages. When they're starting out, as they're writing their very first programs, they think writing software is complicated and that they don't know nearly enough. Then, when they've gotten to the point where they have been doing it a while and are reasonably familiar with a language or two, they think writing software is straightforward. As with the time where new pilots know enough to fly reasonably but don't have a lot of hours, this is when the programmer is the most dangerous to himself and to others. Finally, if they're really good programmers, after a few years they begin to think writing good software is monstrously difficult, as hard as the hardest human endeavors, and that they only understand enough to muddle through it. This is when they can finally be trusted. You can tell the incompetent people by the fact that they never get past stage 2. Perry

No. 2 Huskies pull away, 53-30
A week of facing rated opponents started off OK for the Creston girls here Monday, locked in a 10-10 tie after one quarter with Class 4A second-ranked Winterset.
The Huskies' quickness on offense and in their defensive pressure eventually took its toll on the younger Panther squad in a 53-30 triumph. Winterset, which trounced Interstate 35 71-20 in its opener, moved to 2-0.
Creston, now 2-1, got outscored 15-6 in the second quarter and 16-3 in the third to fall behind, 41-19.
