Retail sales decline for third month in a row
Overall retail sales down .5% in June
Retail sales declined for the third month in a row, as consumers grow increasingly concerned over the weakening economic situation in the United States and Europe.
Overall retail sales in June fell 0.5% in the month, according to a Commerce Department report on Monday. The decline came as many were expecting growth, with economists surveyed by Briefing.com expecting growth of 0.2%.
Spending by consumers is an important driver for overall growth, making up more than two-thirds of the nation's economic activity. But consumers seemed to be keeping a tighter grip on their wallets as concerns about slower job creation, stalled global growth and the European debt crisis loomed in June.
"We've seen concerns about a fiscal cliff and about Europe and weaker job growth," said Paul Ashworth, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. "Weaker consumption growth has followed in line."
Ashworth said that although external factors, such as gasoline prices and unusually warm weather, initiated this slowdown a couple of months ago, it seems to have expanded from there.
Weakness was widespread in June. Sales at gasoline stations declined 1.8% over the month.
Gas prices declined steadily throughout the month, hitting a low of $3.41 a gallon at the end of June. Prices hadn't been that low since the beginning of January.
Spending at building supply retailers posted a 1.4% decline despite the rise in home-building activity and low mortgage rates.
Auto sales also posted a decrease of 0.7%, in terms of revenue. But even though the dollar value of sales declined, Ashworth points out that automakers did post higher-than-expected unit sales in June.
"We already have the unit sales from the manufacturers and we know they went up," he said.
The only bright spot in the month came from food and beverage sales and clothing, which edged up 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively.

Order in Spontaneous Behavior
Brains are usually described as input/output systems: they transform sensory input into motor output. However, the motor output of brains (behavior) is notoriously variable, even under identical sensory conditions. The question of whether this behavioral variability merely reflects residual deviations due to extrinsic random noise in such otherwise deterministic systems or an intrinsic, adaptive indeterminacy trait is central for the basic understanding of brain function. Instead of random noise

That right it's happening, premier set for VGAs, video and info at link
Heres what we can tell you: First off, obviously the title is not Uncharted 3: World of Deceit, as has been rumored here and there on the Internet. Still: Good guessing with the deceit thing. According to Naughty Dogs creative director Ann Hennig, the theme of deception plays out in multiple ways throughout the threequel, from Drake doing the deceiving to Drake being deceived to some mysterious deception about Drakes very identity. The story focuses on the heros relationship with his mentor and father figure, fan fave Victor Sully Sullivan, and has him searching for a legendary lost city that will ultimately take him to the Arabian Peninsula and the vast wasteland of the Rub al Khali Desert, also known as the Empty Quarter. (Said legendary lost city has been known by various names, including Iram of the Pillars and the Atlantis of the Sands; click the link for more backstory.)The execs at Naughty Dog walked us through one of the games levels, and while we cant tell you anything about the locale (it actually wasnt the desert), we can tell you that it was quintessential Uncharted, marked by dynamic camera work and gameplay that requires you to jump and climb through treacherous spaces that are in an almost constant state of change or in this case, catastrophic collapse. Innovations? Several, including enhanced backward climbing and the ability to fight multiple baddies at once. Finally, Wells stressed that much time and effort is being lavished upon expanding Uncharteds online multiplayer and co-op capabilities, too; expect more details to come in the coming months

I like the scruffy...
Had the religion of Christianity been preserved according to the ordinances of the Founder, the state and commonwealth of Christendom would have been far more united and happy than they are. Nor can there be a greater proof of its decadence than the fact that the nearer people are to the Church, the head of their religion, the less religious are they.

Faith in Naughty Dog always !Doing so gives the consumer more value for their entertainment dollar — especially in a weak economy, and esepcially among videogame consumers more prone to buying just a few games a year. It also creates a market for additional downloadable content for purchase (Uncharted zombie maps, anyone ? ), and cultivates an avid community of what Wells calls "evangelists" that can help create buzz future products. "We want to take on the big boys of the multi-player genre," says Wells, no doubt alluding to multiplayer giants Call of Duty and Halo. "It has become something here at Naughty Dog that will become an important part to all our games.
I was not deceived by the online DLC and content for Uncharted 2. They really did a good job.
The online had few flaws but they did correct the exploits and glitches.
But please....please....I know Bungie helped ND for the online. Infinite Ward too....but please

The pics kinda remind me of Three Kings and the man that directed it is busy with the Uncharted Movie. I wonder if this will tie in some how since i get the impression we are going to meet some family in this game.
Also in the Key features bullet points they list BIGGER SET PIECES!!! Is that even possible on PS3??? All my top action set pieces were in Uncharted 2
Sorry guys but as much as i love Team Ico i think i have my GOTY right here!!!!
Upgrade puzzles to make them a bit more difficult than primary school level.
Uncharted is great, no doubt about it, but I still give the original Uncharted a higher score than part two. Technically, it was a more polished game, so I can understand why UC2 would be rated higher than UC. But from a gamer's perspective, Uncharted felt more original, IMO had better pacing, and really felt fresh throughout the entire game.
Set-pieces are amazing the first time you playthrough, but there's nothing that stacks up against gameplay. And I feel like the gameplay was more of the same and could certainly use more refinement. I like the blend of combat/shooting, but perhaps they could run away with one of those elements and really create something unique here.
The Uncharted franchise is still a title very much identified by the sum of its parts. There isn't one gameplay aspect that really stands out, in fact I'd say the most innovative element of the series is the high quality voice acting and dialog during the game, and of course the blockbuster moments--both non-gameplay features. So what I really want out of the series is for the actual gameplay aspects to innovate or evolve a bit more. The comment about fighting multiple enemies has me intrigued. Why not go for a pure action vibe with the combat system and give Drake the ability counter, grapple, evade and do some basic combos with that Hollywood flair the series is known for. Or maybe they'll delve further into the platforming aspect and actually have you platform without any "assistance".
Very much looking forward to it, but I just don't hold the series in the same prestige as Team Ico's games. They've carved out there own niche with the partner/relationship element of there games. And the simple controls and fluid animation is second to none. Uncharted needs to step up in the gameplay department before it's up there with the big boys, or I fear no matter how good the dialog and story gets, or how pretty it is, it will begin to get stale.

"By their Fruits, you will recognize them..."
Absolutely agree... I've gotten the feeling that todays (the past 5 years or so) games are made for dumber and dumber people. I remember playing Silent Hill 3 on "hard puzzles" mode, which had me sort books according to quotes from Shakespeare books (or something to that degree... it's been quite a while). And now... "put a into b"... that's about it.
BUT... if I am lucky, I'll be the owner of a 3D monitor (for my PC, mostly) by the end of this year, since Acer finally made a HDMI1.4 compatible one... then I'll enjoy this game in full 3D
Kept you waiting
You should hear the endless bitching in Castlevania reviews about the puzzles being too difficult and then you can understand why Naughty Dog dont want to go down that route. Im with you though i would prefer more difficult platforming and puzzling but that will never happen because they want it to be easy for noobs to get into.
@OmniStalgic: Uncharted was repetitive and lacked some of the amazing physics, set pieces and the variety in enemies from the second. Even the puzzles were better than the first games even though they were still not very challenging. Also the co-op and Multiplayer are sublime and add hours to the gameplay so you can rate Uncharted higher but ive struggled to go back to the original and yet ive played the sequel 4 times already and i never get sick of it. First your over the top issues with GOW3 and now Uncharted 2? Whats up with you lately Omni??? Even Castlevania which you call your GOW killer you only gave a B score. So what was GOW3 a C ???
Come on man find the enjoyment in games again and dont become one of those jaded fools that spend the first 3 hours looking for faults and then ruin the rest of the game for themselves. The Original was great but its time to evolve and improve and thats what Naughty Dog keep doing. Imagine the implications of sand alone in this game!!!
I only played a bit of Castlevania (nothing hard there and you can BUY solutions anyway) but c'mon dude, put shapes into it's colour matching place is just way too patronising. And they had ha hint system for that LOL...I wanted to turn off the game it was so bad.
I literally paused and thought my way of life lol.
"just what the heck am i playing here....who is this for..."

Winner: VMware
VMware dominates the server virtualization space and is coming on strong on the desktop side as well. That momentum helped catapult VMware to victory in the Desktop and Server Virtualization category of the 2012 CRN Annual Report Card survey.
2012 Annual Report Card Home Page |
VMware trounced Oracle, the only other vendor included in the survey, by a wide margin in 17 of 18 criteria. Oracle narrowly edged out VMware in the managing channel conflict criterion.
VMware's dominance was especially strong in the product innovation subcategory, where it beat Oracle by 23.2 points. VMware did not fare too shabbily in the support and partnership subcategories either, racking up wins with a double-digit margin of victory in both subcategories.
The most underrated aspect of VMware is the automation it builds into its products, said Keith Norbie, vice president and chief technology officer at Nexus Information Systems, a Minnetonka, Minn.-based VMware partner.
One example, he said, is Storage Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS), a vSphere feature that automatically moves applications around in a pool of machines to optimize performance. "This is a very technical feature that allows you to start creating an ecosystem where you can develop classification of different virtual machines and tiers with different service levels," Norbie said.
In addition to storage DRS, VMware's new vCloud Suite 5.1 includes VM-based replication, enhanced vMotion and orchestration between hosts and storage, all done automatically, Norbie said.
Oracle has been making steady progress in remaking itself as a more channel-friendly vendor. At Oracle OpenWorld in early October, President Mark Hurd discussed the vendor's goal of offering leading products from data storage and servers, to virtualization and database software, up through middleware applications: "Our objective is for each of those levels of the stack, each of those layers of the stack, to be the absolute best at the job they perform."

Why Wear Goggles?
The superior coverage offered by goggles versus sunglasses protects you from a number of on-the-mountain hazards:
- At high altitudes, the atmosphere is thinner and filters less ultraviolet (UV) rays.
- The sun's reflection on snow is brighter and more intense.
- Wind can make your eyes tear and blur your vision.
- Ice particles can get into your eyes, especially when descending fast.
- Twigs and branches can hit your eyes when dropping through the trees.
How to Avoid Fogging
When warm air (your body heat) meets cold air (the outside temperature), condensation can form. Goggles use a variety of approaches that can help you avoid fogging.
Double lenses: These are used nearly universally since they do not fog as fast as single-layered lenses. Sealed properly, they create a thermal barrier (like storm windows) that is even more resistant to fogging. An anti-fog coating will help any lens to ward off fogging.
Anti-fog coatings: These are integrated into virtually all mid-level to high-end goggle lenses to help deter fogging.
Vents: The top, sides and bottom of goggles are the keys to help control fogging. Wider vents generally create better ventilating airflow than smaller venting holes. The trade-off is that it means your face may get cold, particularly in extreme climates.
Fans: A few high-end goggles include small, battery-operated fans to help disperse moisture. Fans with different settings can be adjusted for standing in a lift line, riding the gondola or going down the slope.
Tip: If you're not wearing a helmet, don't put your goggles on top of your head. Rising heat from your body escapes through your head and cap, and goggles sitting on a head will trap this moisture.
Anti-fog products: These can be used on lower-end goggles without a coating or old goggles that are starting to fog.
- An anti-fog solution can be applied to the lens before hitting the slope. Just let it dry and you're ready.
- A fog cloth is a soft, lint-free cloth with inhibitors that help deter fog on the lenses and removes smudges.
- A fog eraser is a sponge on one side to blot and absorb moisture, and a soft chamois on the other side to dry a goggle lens.
Tip: Wiping snow off of your goggles can actually lead to more moisture and fog. It could also scratch the lenses. To avoid scratches, use goggle sack or a lens-specific cloth to blot (not wipe) any moisture off of the lens.
UV Protection
There are 3 types of ultraviolet (UV) rays—UVA, UVB and UVC. A lens rated for 100% UV protection protects you from all of them. Fortunately, such protection has become the standard on virtually all goggles sold today. This is good because too much sun and UV rays can sunburn your eyes, lead to cataracts, eye fatigue or other eye conditions. Remember, even when it's cloudy, UV rays are bouncing off of the snow.
Selecting a Lens Color
Standard Lenses
Goggle Care
Avoiding Scratches
Goggles are pretty durable, but the lenses require some thought and care to maximize their usefulness.
- First, get a pair that has at least 1 scratch-resistant coating—2 coatings are even better.
- Keep the goggles in a soft-lined sack when you're not wearing them.
- Don't set the lenses lens-side down on a table or hard surface.
- Don't leave them on a heater or vehicle dashboard.
- Don't store them in sunlight.
Scratches usually are not covered under warranty, but some manufacturers do have replacement lenses you can purchase.
Check your instruction manual before cleaning—some common cleaners can damage lenses. Use a recommended cleaner and a very soft cloth—paper products and ski gloves can make scratches. Try to keep fingers and fingerprints off of the lenses to avoid oil, dirt and smudges. Most goggle storage sacks double as a cleaning cloth.
To clean:
- Shake off excess snow.
- Clear snow off of vents.
- Let any remaining snow melt.
- Use a soft cloth or anti-fog cloth to blot (not wipe) the lens dry.
- Put goggle back on and keep moving. Airflow will help the goggle stay dry.
Storage When Not in Use
When not wearing your goggles on the mountain, putting the goggles in a pocket will keep them dry and ready for use. But be sure to use an exterior pocket—an interior pocket, where there is body heat, can fog them. Make sure there is nothing in the pocket that could scratch them, including the pocket fabric. Be sure to use the storage bag.

Who needs a professional photographer when you have the Dual LCD display ST600? Take more accurate self-portraits with the enlarged 1.8" front-side display letting you see your self-portrait before you take it. Flip the camera over and enjoy your pictures on its large 3.5" back-side display. A simple press of the front-side display on/off button allows for more efficient power management.
Whether you're indoors or out, shooting a landscape or friends around a table, the ST600's 27mm wide angle lens with 5x optical zoom gives you a wider field of view. Capture images of beautiful landscapes, entire wedding parties and skyscrapers without having to back up to get the shot.
Turn any moment into a perfect memory. And a professional-looking photo. Whether it's a few friends from last night's party or the moon reflecting off the lake, Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie) instantly analyzes key elements of your composition then automatically adjusts to capture the perfect shot with multitude of different photo modes and movie modes. And since life isn't a still life, the camera's object tracking feature captures those subjects that just don't, or won't, stand still.
When you're looking at brilliant 1,152K high-resolution images through a 3.5" WVGA Touch Display, you know your photos are going to be something special. Its 14.2 megapixels of robust clarity deliver details you'd never thought you'd be able to capture. After all, you don't want any of life's special moments to pass you by. It was engineered to help you get more out of life.
The ST600 isn't just smart in design. With its Smart Face Recognition technology , the ST600 creates brilliance with every snap. And keeps it that way. By knowing up to 20 of your friends and family, it automatically focuses on them first, making sure the most important subjects are always in crystal clarity. And since the ST600 never forgets a face, you can also browse more efficiently by the people you've registered.
Samsung's Smart Filter lens and color effects deliver an artistic edge to your still shots and videos. The Tilt & Shift Lens Effect gives your subjects a miniaturized look, the Vignetting Camera Effect delivers a strikingly strong compositional contrast, and our Fish-eye Effect gives your video that cool distorted feel. And its color effects – Sketch and Defog – can add an expressive layer or an ultra-vivid vibe – to your shots. So get creative and get Samsung.
If you prefer still shots to movies but want to leave your options open (and leave your camcorder at home) the ST600 is right for you. You'll get 720p HD quality video at 30 frames per second. And a recording time that's 4x longer than MJPEG video. You even can use the 5x zoom to get up close and vividly personal. And when things get dicey, you can even pause your recording. You'll give up nothing, except carrying around that extra camera.
Smart Album automatically organizes your photos by type, date, color, week, and face so that you can find that one particular shot amongst 2,000. It does the looking for you. In fact, it can even do a face search!

Western New York has historically surpassed other regions when it comes to helping each other; be it for neighbor or charity; be it food, services, coats or cash, regardless of the state of the economy.
In only about 10 weeks time, word has spread coast to coast of this first-of-its-kind event, based on the concept that if abusers were exposed, they wouldn't do it.
Using Facebook as the chief means of promotions, followed by real, in-person networking, the "EXPOSURE Concert: Because Love Shouldn't Hurt" has forty confirmed bands of various genres to donate performances. On Facebook, OP Music House has gained 1563 friends and roughly 600 fans.
OP Music House's founder, Suzanne Perry, has been promoting the event while befriending the Western New York music scene: from bands to venue owners to staging and of course the fans. Every weekend, she's out photographing, critiquing and publishing about live bands in the area.
March found Perry on a "Peace Mission" as she spent a week outside of Tuscon, Arizona and a week across Southern California, meeting as many people as possible, including musicans, in Redlands, Laguna and Venice Beaches as well as L.A.
And deeper than that, Perry is on another mission: to find those who may be scared in the fog, as a subject of domestic abuse. After enduring 22 years herself, she now speaks out and writes about domestic violence and abuse, to help educate the public but especially to reach out to people. She wishes to be a voice to say "never give up," and to be a "lantern of hope."
People are finally catching on. Perry's venture has been published in the OP Press, WNY Women In Business, and the Orchard Park Bee. 97 Rock's Carl Russo featured her on Citadel's "Sound Magazine."
May 9, she will be featured on "Heard it on the X," an internet radio program hosted by Rich Rogenmoser, owner of the Music Exchange and Mick Hayes, multi-award-winning blues musician. There, they will discuss the concert and the cause.
The EXPOSURE Concert will be held at Club Paradise in Blasdell, August 14-15. Tickets are available on the OP Music House's website. Club Paradise is adjoined to McKinley's hotel. Concert-goers can book a room, prevent drinking and driving, and skip a drive to enjoy day 2 of rocking for a cause.
The concert will be streamed live around the world, and also be recorded and sold on DVD to preserve the first concert event of this kind.
OP Music House, Inc. is a non-profit corporation whose mission is to give young adults exposure to what's involved in "being a rock star." On-site usage of instruments, a stage/venue to enhance, stimulate and enrich their musical peforming talents, and hands-on experimenting with the recording and mixing process is provided, all free of charge as a community service. Interactive enrichment sessions will be held to raise self-esteem and bring out artistic talents. Regular guest speakers, mentors and professional musicians guide musical amateurs into the real-world industry. An emergency 24-hour hotline will also be engaged.
For further information, please contact Suzanne Perry at 716.548.5013, e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the website, www.opmusichouse.org.

Central City Borough (Daily American file photo / January 16, 2013) |
Central City Borough Council members said they would be willing to participate in a police regionalization study spearheaded by the Paint Township Police Department.
Police Chief Rick Skiles sent the council an example of a study of two municipalities in Northampton County that are also exploring regionalization. The study could serve as a model for the department's efforts.
Councilman Dan Bulger said Central City has been well served by Paint Township's police coverage. In addition to Central City, the department covers Windber, Paint, Benson and Scalp Level boroughs, as well as Paint Township.
Central City is paying $36,000 for services this year, a $5,000 increase over the borough's 2012 contract.
"I think it's the way of the future," Bulger said Monday of regionalization in general. "With the finances in Paint the way they are, I think it's a good thing that they're looking at this."
Paint Township residents have argued in recent months that the police department should be downsized in light of the municipality's six-figure deficit. Supervisors blamed a more than $350,000 shortfall largely on a $168,000 overrun on the 2011 construction of the police department's building.
Although supervisors have accepted blame for the financial oversight, Paint Township residents have continued to question whether the department is charging its neighboring municipalities enough for coverage — a question that the regionalization study would seek to answer.
The Northampton County study was performed by the Governor's Center for Local Government Services at the request of Hellertown Borough and Lower Saucon Township. A similar study could be requested by Paint Township and the five municipalities it provides police coverage to as well.
In the Northampton study, the state calculated population figures, crime statistics and other variables to determine how much money Hellerton and Lower Saucon should contribute toward a partnership and how many police officers should patrol the areas. Representatives from each of the municipalities would form a commission to oversee the department. The study also stated that consolidated departments typically save money for the municipalities and are more efficient.
Skiles declined to comment on the study until he has had an opportunity to speak with representatives from each of the municipalities. He said that the process, when and if it begins, will be transparent.
Thus far, council members from Windber, Central City and Paint boroughs have expressed informal interest in pursuing the study. Bulger said that costs will likely determine the borough's interest in entering into a regional partnership.
"Like anything, it will all depend on how much it is," he said. "I think we'd like to see the study through along with the other municipalities. If it turns out that it'd be too expensive for us, then we'd probably go back to state police for coverage."

text: 16 January 2006 archive Tweet See all show photos THE disused warehouse, the anticipation, the promise of another unique experience - all the ingredients that make Alexander McQueen the master showman we know and love. We were taken to hell and back, via Transylvania, Victorian London, New Orleans and the opium dens of the demi-monde, only to be shot straight back to reality. But this is no ordinary reality, this is McQueen-world, and the vision is at its most potent when a city like Milan plays host to it. Shoulders were maximised, and waists raised to the point of no return, as heavy chalk striped wool flannels took to the runway, emphasizing a new male silhouette. These modern re-interpretations of the suit were worn over lace knitwear and skimpy shirts with high necks and devil-may-care attitude showed that McQueen has not lost his penchant for the art of tailoring -a Savile Row tailor in his own right. No skill or technique was left untouched, as country tweeds were paired with cotton voiles for shirting and broderie anglaise embraced the body to define even the most minute detail of the male form. Just as the vampire Lestat, in Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, could see every vein pulsing in his victims' body, McQueen knew he had our pulses racing as outfit after outfit went straight for the jugular. And beautifully cut and executed they were too. Washed leather, and bouclé wool in hues of grey were soon cast aside as gummed wool crushed velvets and Prince of Wales check, lined with purple fox, took us on another journey, where tight shouldered Seventies dandies reminiscent of Mick Jagger in Performance reigned supreme. Red tartan kimono jackets with heavy gold embroidery and tight tight pants made for a new silhouette and tulle and lace capes with embroidered hems gave suits the newest volume of all. Spectacular as ever, McQueen rocked Milan. (January 16 2006, PM) By Antonio Berardi Continue reading Back to top

Summer Reading Week 4: Half Over Already?
Summer Reading
* We're at the halfway mark... can you believe it's July already? We gerbils sure can't.
* Our paper food pantry is nearly full after a great week of generous token & teen credit donations - the total amount of money raised is now $36.21! Don't worry if the paper pantry fills. We plan to start stacking the cans, and maybe we'll even expand the pantry.
* We now have 871 kids signed up for Summer Reading... do you have a guess as to how many will be signed up on July 28 (the last day)? Participants have been busy writing online reviews - the total is now 1820.
* In Very Hungry Caterpillar news... he's almost out of the Inger Boye Room! Good job, Book Buddies! Pretty soon we will have to ask Miss Deena to add some more caterpillar feet, because he is 36 segments long! (That's 540 books, songs or rhymes shared!)
Summer Reader of the Week
* This week's preschool winner is three year-old Amelia P., who enjoyed reading Gideon by Oliver Dunrea, Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish, and New Socks by Bob Shea.
* This week's grade school winner is second grader Alexander M., who read Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride by Kate DiCamillo, The Bear Scouts by Stan and Jan Berenstain, and Happy Birthday Hamster by Cynthia Lord.
* As winners, Amelia and Alexander's names, and the books they enjoyed this week will be displayed on our Electronic Bulletin Board for the summer. Check back here next Monday or look up on our electronic bulletin board when you come in to see reads from future Summer Reader of the Week winners!
At the Library This Week
* Stories Under the Stars meets Monday at 7:30pm in the clearing by the rose garden.
* The Library will close at 5pm on July 3 (Tuesday) for the holiday. We will be closed on July 4, but look for library people in the 4th of July Parade downtown! Have a happy and safe fourth.
* Outdoor Drop-In Chess on Saturday as usual!
Around the Web
* Jon Sciezka writes about audiobooks on his blog - linking to a couple free download sites! Perfect topic for summer, given all the road trips people go on!
* Given the recent heat, we thought it might be pertinent to share these ten survival tips learned from YA novels (though none deal with extreme heat).
* Read Kadir Nelson's 2012 Coretta Scott King Author Award acceptance speech, and Shane W. Evans' CSK Illustrator Award acceptance speech.

Among the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are mandated disclosure rules, passed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in August 2012, about the use of "conflict minerals". The term "conflict minerals" is used to describe certain minerals—tantalum, tungsten, tin, and gold—that are mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or the surrounding areas. Federal law does not prohibit companies from sourcing conflict minerals, nor impose a penalty for doing so. However, the intent is to rely on public pressure to dissuade U.S. companies from indirectly sourcing conflict minerals, and hence fund the armed groups in the DRC.
The SEC final rule requires issuers who use conflict minerals in their manufacturing processes and supply chain to disclose whether the minerals came from the DRC or the surrounding areas. Under the rule, if a company determines its conflict minerals originated in those countries, it will have to file a "Conflict Minerals Report" with the SEC and publish it on its website. The reports, which will outline to the SEC all of the due diligence the company performed as it sourced its supply chain, must be independently audited.
The provision specifically mandates three steps for companies to follow:
Under the rule, companies will file their first specialized disclosure report on May 31, 2014, for the 2013 calendar year and on May 31 in subsequent years.
Independent Private Sector Audit (IPSA)
The purpose of the IPSA is to express an opinion or conclusion as to: (1) whether the design of the issuer's due diligence framework as set forth in the Conflict Minerals Report is in conformity with, in all material respects, the criteria set forth in the nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework used by the issuer, and (2) whether the issuer's description of the due diligence measures it performed as set forth in the Conflict Minerals Report is consistent with the due diligence process that the issuer undertook.
The independent private sector audit is required to be performed in accordance with the "Yellow Book" and can consist of either an examination attestation engagement or a performance audit.
The AICPA has convened a task force to provide practitioners with guidance relating to the IPSA.

Testimonial: Kyle Thorne, NFL Strength and Conditioning Coach
February 21st 2011 by Michelle HinsvarkThe benefits of barefoot training are tremendous, but often not possible because of safety concerns. The minimalistic VIVOBAREFOOT Evo has made this type of training possible and those benefits a reality for the team setting. Freedom of movement and a quality grip for the foot are two of the key components that make these shoes the perfect addition to training attire. The craftsmanship and the distinctive look of the Evo also impress.

The Women's 100
The Women's 100 is off and rolling. It may seem like a long road leading to the July 7th date, but it will be here before you know it. There have been some questions coming in about the Rapha Women's 100 — What is it? Where do I sign up? What do I win? Well, the truth of the matter is that the only thing that is really worth winning is the chance to unite women in riding 100km or more on July 7th, and any time in between.
The Women's 100 started with the goal of taking 100 women to the very male dominated Etape in the same year as the 100th edition of the Tour de France. It soon became clear that these 100 women could help inspire tens of thousands of other women to ride. Thus the Rapha Women's 100 was born – ride 100km on the 7th July, wherever you are. The 100 women going to the Etape are a mixture of Rapha ambassadors, bloggers and journalists who will write about their adventures and encourage others to get out and ride, especially on the 7th July. We'll also have a number of spaces at the Etape to be won to complete our 100 women, so look out for this in the coming weeks.
As a build up to the big day, we'll be publishing stories and discussions on the Rapha site, from advice on riding in groups, tales from training rides and tips on the kind of nutrition you can enjoy on big rides. There are a number of people that are doing this for the first time and we have enlisted their help in telling of their experiences along the way.
Who To Follow?
Gem Atkinson
Gem continues to be an inspiration in whatever she does. Not only does she feature in recent Rapha photoshoots, but she has become a favourite contributor to this here blog. Today she steps in with a piece about Milan-San Remo and last week she wrote about some of her first riding experiences in The Rapha Women's 100. Gem will be participating in the Etape ride, so follow her on Twitter and Instagram - @gematkinson
Bangs and a Bun (Spikes + Heels)
The blogs of Murianne Carey-Campbell focus on some of the trials and tribulations of training for specific events - Marathons for one and this Etape in particular. They are a "no holds barred" look at the intensive training that goes into a ride like the etape, but also have a humorous side and definitely lean towards the sartorially inclined woman. This lady has style, class an more than enough attitude to get her through the rigors of training needed to complete a long day in the saddle. One great quote from her recent piece Toils of Training "…when it comes down to it, I have to ride it on the day - no one can do that for me." She is still getting her cycling legs under her, but will certainly keep things interesting along the way. Follow Muireann @bangsandabunn
Heidi Swift
The Grit and Glimmer is always a good one to follow. Heidi, who is a longtime contributor here with pieces like this one about favorite local pro racer Tina Brubaker Heidi is great in speaking in that "no holds barred" manner about all things related to Women's Cycling. Heidi is a regular contributor/editor for Peloton and Switchback magazine's and went to Haiti last month to race the MTB Ayiti race. Follow her exploits on instagram and twitter as well - @heidiswift
Instagram has been the best way to see what is going on in all parts of the world as the Rapha Women's 100 starts to ramp up. It is a beautiful and easy way to share photos of training, racing and riding as well as just the minutia of everyday life. Follow these women on Instagram as we build up towards July 7th. They continue to inspire us with their daily photos both on and off the bike.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania state agencies and local governments in places where drilling for natural gas is occurring learned Monday how much money they will get out from a fund that has already collected more than $200 million in "impact fees" from drillers.
Gov. Tom Corbett held a Capitol news conference at which he and other state officials disclosed the breakdown for counties, townships and boroughs. Checks should be going out from the state treasury over the coming 10 days, they said.
All 67 counties get a share of the money, as do the Fish and Boat Commission, the Transportation Department, the Department of Environmental Protection and other state agencies that have some role in regulating or dealing with the drilling industry.
But 60 percent of the $204.2 million fund will go to 35 counties and nearly 1,500 municipalities where drilling occurs, including many rural, sparsely populated areas. The Marcellus Shale drilling boom has been concentrated in a wide swath of the state that runs from the northeast, across the northern part of Pennsylvania and into the southwest corner that borders West Virginia.
"We are serious about becoming energy leaders in this country and the world," Corbett said, adding that the money will help local governments straining to provide services and maintain roads as drillers, their rigs and related activity have accompanied the shale gas boom.
"We know that growth is something that has to be managed," Corbett said.
The impact fee, passed in February for the Marcellus Shale, requires drillers to pay $50,000 for each horizontally drilled well and $10,000 for each vertical well drilled through 2011. The money being distributed was linked to nearly 4,500 wells and covers drilling through 2011. Payments for 2012 are due July 1.
State law restricts how the money can be spent, allowing for such uses as fixing roads and building or repairing water and sewer infrastructure in areas where drilling is being done.
In parts of the state without drilling, the money must be used to build or maintain greenways, recreational trails, open space, natural areas, conservation, beautification, heritage parks or water resource management. Philadelphia's entire $1.3 million share, for example, will go to those types of projects.

Hi friends,Is it necessary to power of when changing lenses?
Sunil Prem
Not unless your switching ZF lenses on a C300.... Had a friend blow a C300 hot swapping ZF lenses. Kind of funny when you think about it...
no, never have. not necessary.
Sometimes I don't even STOP SHOOTING when changing lenses, much less power down.
Might be worth asking about specifics, like the Canon/Nikon electronic mounts, but dumb mounts, no problem at all.
Thank you all....for your kind reply
There's a lot of computer processing talking to a lens, it has to talk to the lens constantly in case you make any adjustments i.e. focus, aperture. So it should be due to Early Firmware issues of the c300, I believe. I guess Canon didn't realize that, Real Professional Cameras are designed to handle lens changes during operation. Crazy, but I know.

Linda's Notes:
A dab of this spicy, creamy butter on a tender steak, burger, or corn on the cob is all you'll need for super flavor! Even slather on crusty bread and grill or broil until golden for your family - they'll love it.
I use this on everything. Fish, veggies...and just got a brainstorm to put it on popcorn. Woohoo!
(Adjust the heat by adding or taking away some of the pepper.)
Comments from the Test Kitchen:
What a wonderful addition to any meal! Perfect on warm bread or slathered across corn on the cob. Yummers!
In a small bowl whip the butter, with an electric mixer, until smooth and fluffy. Add the minced peppers, chipotle sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic powder. Whip until incorporated. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover and chill. (The longer it sits, the deeper the color and richer the flavor.) Just before serving put a teaspoon of the cold butter on cooked steak or burgers and allow it to melt over the top. For bread, leave softened for easier spreading. Makes 24 servings.

Domestic violence is not a problem just for adults. Teens experience domestic violence in their relationships, too. In fact, domestic violence is very common in teen dating relationships.
Recognizing abuse in a relationship is difficult, but especially for teens. Some teens believe certain types of abuse are normal in a relationship, or think its "not that big of a deal." In many ways, teens do experience the same types of physical, sexual, verbal and emotional abuse that adults do.

60 Minutes with Shakespeare |
The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust has launched a new web-based project,60 Minutes with Shakespeare: Who Was William Shakespeare? Sixty people, among them Stephen Fry, Margaret Drabble, Gregory Doran, Stanley Wells and Harriet Walter, have contributed a 60-second recording answering one of 60 questions about Shakespeare's authorship. The website aims to put to rest arguments about Shakespeare's authorship, particularly in the wake of the film Anonymous which will give a high profile to conspiracy theorists. Of course, the BSA fully supports this project, and many of its members (including two Trustees), are among the 60 voices.

Zapping Testicles With Ultrasonic Pulses Shown To Be Effective Contraceptive
An ultrasound zap to the testicles can stop the production of sperm, reducing overall sperm count to a level that would render males infertile, according to a new study involving rats. Further studies are still needed to test how long this new contraceptive method would last, and whether infertility could be reversed. But for the researchers studying rat and monkey testicles, the early results are pretty gratifying.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine rotated high-frequency ultrasound transducers around the testes of rats. They put the animals' testes in a cup full of saline solution to provide better conduction between the transducer and the skin. Then they measured the animals' sperm counts to see how much they dropped. After several tests, scientists led by James Tsuruta found the ideal therapy was two 15-minute sessions, two days apart, which led to a dramatic reduction in sperm.
This was all pretty promising, so the foundation that funded the rat study commissioned a second study in monkeys. Researchers at the University of California-Davis fiddled with the numbers and found three 30-minute sessions two days apart reduced sperm counts for six weeks. Lead researcher Catherine VandeVoort said it was rough going:
"The monkeys didn't seem to mind the treatment a bit, but we were having a rough time of it. Thirty minutes of treatment three times a week is a lot of monkey testicular massage. We felt pretty silly, and it didn't help when the techs would come around and wonder what kind of research we were doing. We were relieved when we finally saw an effect," she said, in this amazing press release from the Male Contraception Information Project.
Scientists first studied ultrasound for contraception back in the 1970s, testing it on rats, monkeys, dogs and men. But other researchers who later tried to duplicate those results were stumped, and some reproductive health scientists dismissed it as hooey. Ultrasonic therapy languished for several years before Tsuruta and others resumed working on it.
Lots more studies would need to be done to make sure this is a safe method of contraception, however. There are concerns about the duration of treatment, and there could be adverse sexual effects. The sperm that come back might be damaged, which could impact embryo development after fertilization, other researchers said. So it's not a male birth control method, at least not yet. The rat study was published Monday in the journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology.

Science sees no further than what it can sense.
Religion sees beyond the senses.
While intriguing, it seems there is a lot of research to be done before any viable options, if any, come along. Considering effects on hormone levels and overall duration of the effect, there are a few good uses that come to mind. It could be a great alternative to vasectomy, which isn't always %100 effective. This may also be a alternative to chemical castration for sex offenders. It could be a lasting solution or it could be regular treatment required by parole conditions.
As regards to using the device on sex offenders, I am all for it in a couple of locations. I like to see their brain as well as their testes be shrunken or disappeared in the same manner this article illustration depicts!

No way this thing is going near my boys. As for sex offenders, they still keep and use the ol' pole. As such, it should just be cut off and replaced with a plastic tube.
Science always asks "can we," but doesn't seem to ask "should we."
I don't know about the females but I do know that most males do their hardest to protect the "Family Jewels" from any kind of harm.
Kinda reminds me of a Youtube video I saw some time ago about a SUMO wrestler being kicked in the crotch and not feeling the pain, I still think the guy was on some kinda drugs after seeing the impact.
I laughed so hard it was hard to catch my breath after reading the fourth paragraph. Just picturing a researcher doing monkey testicular massage makes me smile.
Hopefully, this job makes it onto this years PopSci's worst jobs in science list. The researchers deserve at least that for their unfortunate contribution to science.
I imagine now a terrible of a horror flick movie. Imagine a doctor or technician of this device takes it home and uses it on his spouse's brain! Talking about taking dominate control of the family. YIKES!

2. High output 3D projector
Like the first suggestion, you can improve your lights-on experience by upgrading your old projector with a new, high-brightness one. Just five years ago projectors with light outputs of 800 ANSI lumens were the norm. Now reasonably priced projectors from companies like Epson, Panasonic and Mitsubishi put out light cannon images in the 2,400 lumen range, and that's for $3,000 or less. What does that light do for you? Aside from making the picture bright enough to see with moderate room lighting, it also can help make the image considerably more vibrant.
And don't worry about all that extra light producing an overly pale image. New projectors have dramatically improved in black level as well as overall image processing.
Panasonic's PTAE8000 LCD projector is rated at 2,400 lumens.
Here's one more reason you need a brighter projector—3D. Producing a good 3D image requires more light output (because the glasses cut back on some of the light). Usually the brighter the projector, the better the 3D picture.

Results 1 to 10 of 13
NEW rigid dually D2 reverse lights
well I already have aftermarket HELLA tailights, with a decently bright reverse light bulb...
in addition I added, over a year ago, HELLA FF-75 fog lights for aux. reverse lights too
NOW, I have added a set of wide beam Rigid Industries Dually flushmount D2 lights into my rear bumper.
hardest part was finding the best spot to mount them with nothing interfering behind them.
dremel started it, then moved to sawzaw to finish the square holes
a little before and after photos: (just the D2's lighting)
so obviously due to the shape of the bumper and how it curves these lights are aimed WAY downward, but even at that they are bright as hell!
I will adjust eventually to aim up a bit more. definitely worth the investment.2000 Chevrolet Silverado

Steve liked this post08-14-2013, 04:02 PM #4thats a good question!
I just think backing up is one of the more precarious events that needs all the help it can get...
Since my rear window is tinted so dark, even when I added the HELLA FF-75's it still wasnt bright enough for my tastes, and i dont like the idea of having to stick my head out the window to see behind me, in which case, the lighting was plenty adequate, but what if it was raining?
These lights literally tipped the scales for me, so I now can see through the tinted window behind me, or use my mirrors with the windows up and everywhere has plenty of light now...
I guess the beach is the main concern since its flat white sand, it really kills your usable light since it really doesnt reflect yellowish light well at all, these lights will also double as work/utility lights as well, such as backing up to or hooking up a trailer or anything else...
oh and i did not mention it, but i went ahead and routed these to a switch instead of with my reverse, since thats the wiring provided with the light and i didnt feel like altering it......
now all i have to master is self control.... so as not to use these in retaliation to tailgaters! though Idont even want to imagine how much trouble that would get me in...
08-14-2013, 04:24 PM #5Ok, that makes 100% sense.
When I live in Florida I had a pickup with really dark tinted windows ~20% tint, but with the actual little factory tint it was ~11%. I had a hard time backing up at night, I would have to roll the window down and stick my head out. I put a small driving light on the rear bumper to help me back up as well.
When I lived in Florida, a lot of old folks would drive with their high beams on right behind you, I turned the backup light on and they got the message to shut their brights off.
My new 2013 Silverado has a back up camera, so it makes it a lot easier backing it up at night.
My 2008 Silverado had no back up camera and therefore it was really dicey backing that thing up at night. I bumped one of those stupid yellow short fire hydrants with my 2008 as I had NO IDEA it was behind me. Thankfully I bumped the hydrant with the trailer hitch.
You are also probably a fancy parker too.
Steve liked this post08-14-2013, 07:12 PM #6A set of lights like that comes in real handy when launching or recovering boats at night, depending on the ramp its very hard at times to tell how far down the ramp your trailer is with the weak factory back-up lights. They come in handy while hooking up to trailers at night too.

Wow, them's some bright backup lights. You go offroad into the deep dark woods where you need to be able to have daylight when backing up so you don't back off a cliff?
- - - Updated - - -
That was my next question for you. I had a friend do this to his old International Scout, but he did it (so he says) to get rid of tailgaters, but in reality he did a lot outdoors and often wanted to get up into places that no one (well, no one driving a 60's International Scout) should want to drive to, so he had to use the lights to get back down safely when following some crazy logging trail up the mountains.

Not to bring rain into the parade, but these legal? Just asking the question. I'm looking really quickly on lighting for TXDOT and I can't see anything about it, can't have blue or red lights facing forward, have to have minimum lighting, etc. http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/RSD/VI/lighting.htm
