Now that sequestration has taken effect, the IRS has announced the following reductions in tax-related payments as a result of the Budget Control Act of 2011, P.L. 112-25. These reductions are effective beginning on March 1, 2013, until either the end of the government's fiscal year (Sept. 30, 2013) or other intervening congressional action:
In addition, according to the Office of Management and Budget's Report to the Congress on the Joint Committee Sequestration for Fiscal Year 2013, the IRS faces budget cuts under the sequester totaling $597 million for taxpayer services, enforcement, operations support, and business systems modernization.
Last week, Steven Miller, the IRS's acting commissioner, announced that the cuts would require IRS employees to take unpaid furloughs, but insisted the furloughs would not affect tax season. Starting in the summer, each employee will be subject to five to seven furlough days through the end of the government's fiscal year. The furloughs would apply to all IRS employees and would amount to no more than one furlough day per pay period. Additional savings will be achieved by continuing the IRS's hiring freeze; reducing funding for grants and other expenditures; and cutting costs for travel, training, facilities, and supplies.
Other tax-related budget cuts the Office of Management and Budget reports will be necessary under the sequestration include a $3 million reduction in spending by the Tax Court, $6 million in cuts to salaries and expenses in the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and $8 million in cuts to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration budget. The sequestration will also result in a $187 million reduction to the grants for specified energy property in lieu of tax credits that were enacted in the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, P.L. 111-312, and extended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L. 111-5.

Have you ever had a big pimple on your forehead or chin? Almost everyone has, especially during those acne-prone teenage years. In reality, no one else probably notices that pimple, but to you it's like a huge neon sign flashing ZIT…ZIT…ZIT.
With severe acne, that neon sign doesn't just flash once in a while. It happens all the time. Some people get so worried that everyone is staring at their pimples that they don't want to leave the house.
Though acne itself isn't a serious health condition, living with long-term acne can be every bit as devastating as having a chronic disease like diabetes or epilepsy. The shame and embarrassment of regular breakouts can be overwhelming enough to cause depression. Some people with severe acne even try to commit suicide. And the emotional scars can linger long after the pimples have faded.
Jennifer Liston (her name has been changed to protect her privacy), a consultant from Darien, Conn., started getting breakouts when she was 15 years old. By the time she'd reached her 20s, her acne had gotten so bad that it was having a real impact on her social life.
"It definitely made me more insecure in the dating world," she says. Thinking men didn't want to go out with her because of her acne, Liston closed herself off to relationships.
The stress of her acne made her breakouts even worse. "I feel that the emotions came out through more acne," Liston, who is now 38, recalls. "It was a vicious cycle and it kept getting worse and worse."
Physical and Emotional Scars
Liston's situation isn't unique. Steven R. Feldman, MD, PhD, says he's seen many patients whose acne is so distressing that they don't want to venture out of the house because of it.
Acne is particularly troubling because of its visibility and its intimate relationship with our self-esteem. "The skin in general, and particularly the skin of the face, is the way we see ourselves. It's the way others see us, and most importantly, it's the way we think others see us," explains Feldman, who is a professor of dermatology in the Wake Forest University School of Medicine and author of the book Compartments.
Severe acne can ignite a number of different emotional reactions, according to Ted Grossbart, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist in Boston and assistant clinical professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School. It can make people feel ugly and unloved enough to get angry at themselves or at the world. And, just as Liston experienced, acne can lead to a sense of loneliness and isolation. "People withdraw and see themselves as uniquely afflicted in a way other people can't understand," says Grossbart, who also authored the book, Skin Deep: A Mind/Body Program for Healthy Skin.
Adolescence, when acne is most common, is already a turbulent time of life. Having severe acne just adds to the intense emotions teens are feeling. When Feldman and his colleagues reviewed several studies of teens with "problem acne," they found that 14% reported feeling depressed. More than 23% of the kids said they'd thought about committing suicide, and nearly 8% had tried to take their own lives.
Acne -- and its emotional effects -- don't end at age 18, either. "In the teenage years it's expected and it's within the norm to have acne," Feldman says. "You get to be 30 or 40 and you may still have acne and it's no longer the norm, so it becomes an issue socially and psychologically.
That may be why depression is two to three times more common in adults with acne than in the general population. Women are particularly vulnerable to self-consciousness and a loss of self-esteem from acne, studies find.
Grossbart often sees patients who turn their loathing of themselves and their acne inward by picking at their skin. "I've seen people with minor acne whose skin would be perfectly fine if they weren't attacking it," he says. "Some people do serious damage." Constantly popping and picking at pimples can turn a minor breakout into a permanent scar.
Acne and depression can quickly turn into a vicious spiral. Stress and anxiety fuel acne outbreaks. Depression can magnify skin problems, making acne seem far worse than it actually is. "Sometimes people will blame their skin for everything that's wrong with their lives," Grossbart says.
Complicating the issue, one of the most potent drugs used to treat acne, isotretinoin, has depression as one of its side effects. Not every study agrees that isotretinoin increases the risk of depression, but dermatologists still use caution when they prescribe this drug, and they carefully monitor patients for depression symptoms while taking isotretinoin.
Coping With Acne
Having severe acne can seem like a huge burden to carry, but it's not a lifelong sentence now that so many effective acne treatments are available. "We can control just about anybody's acne, no matter how severe," says Feldman.
Acne treatments attack pimples on two fronts. Dermatologists prescribe a number of different acne medications, including retinoids, antibiotics, and benzoyl peroxide, to clear the skin. Meanwhile, psychologists help patients deal with the emotional effects of skin problems. "There are a range of psychological techniques you can use to intervene. I use relaxation, imaging, focused psychotherapy, and hypnosis or self-hypnosis," Grossbart says.
Both experts stress the importance of following whatever acne treatment your doctor prescribes. "Medicines don't work if you don't use them," Feldman says. That may sound obvious, but just as depression causes people to lose interest in life, it can also make them ambivalent about using the very treatments that can relieve their acne -- and with it, their depression.
Therapy worked for Liston, who began seeing Grossbart when she was 28. Soon, she was able to make acne less of a focus in her life. Within six months, she was seeing real improvements in her skin. "By a year it was pretty much gone," she says. "It's great. I haven't had any acne or skin problems in eight or nine years."
Now that her skin is clear, Liston can focus her attention on more important things, like her career, her family, and her renewed sense of self-confidence.

Nonprofit Leadership & Service
In the 160 years of Baylor University's existence, no other single effort has captured the heart of the institution more than that of preparing people for service to their communities through nonprofit organizations. Early mission statements for the University affirmed the need to prepare leaders for churches, schools, missions and healthcare. While that effort has generally taken the form of training ministers, teachers, physicians, dentists, and nurses, many of the graduates of Baylor have gone on to lead large and small organizations with altruistic and philanthropic missions. This deep historical commitment to organizations that is driven by ideals of service makes Baylor a perfect site for a concentrated effort to research, teach and extend the body of thought concerning how nonprofit organizations may more effectively serve people.
Baylor's Mission today continues to value the precepts of "service" and "leadership:"
The mission of Baylor University is to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service by integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring community.
In light of this mission, nonprofit organizations offer the primary vehicle for service, both vocationally and avocationally to many, if not most, of those who earn degrees from Baylor University. Likewise, Texas and the rest of the world are populated with Baylor graduates who lead nonprofit organizations both professionally and as a personal purpose for their after-hours life.
Many nonprofit organizations have been started by Baylor University graduates and innumerable organizations have been led by Baylor servant-leaders over the past century and a half. A casual scan of the current Baylor Alumni Association directory reveals many graduates who currently are employed across the world with nonprofits.
The Center for Nonprofit Studies enhances this historical passion in the fabric of the Baylor community and strengthens Baylor's contribution to knowledge about nonprofit organizations while better preparing students for leadership in these important organizations.

Moby, one of my favorite musicians, was at the Skirball Cultural Center last night on tour speaking about his new book Gristle. It's a compilation of 10 chapters on topics including health, environment, and government subsidies that make less healthy food cheaper and more accessible that healthier options. Moby's got quite a sense of humor. He's funny.
Moby co-edited Gristle with leading food policy activist Miyun Park, a spunky, tattooed, muscular, well spoken, Korean American beauty. Nice to see a strong Korean American woman who obviously tells it like it is, no holds bar.
Moby explained how he used to be one of those annoying, extremist vegans, and would irritate his family and friends. Today, he has compassion and understanding for people from all backgrounds and experiences. Rather than being militant about veganism, he recommended we lead by example by looking healthy and happy. I love his message, and share the same philosophy. We won't win people over by making them feel bad, alienated, or wrong.
I was happy to be able to gift Moby with an early copy of Ani's Raw Food Essentials, and Miyun with a copy of Ani's Raw Food Desserts.
I met up with the lovely Frances Fisher, nominated in 1998 for her outstanding performance in the film the Titanic. Frances was sharing with me her story about her last Christmas event that was catered vegan. No one realized there was no meat served. That's always the best way, when the food tastes so good, no one misses the meat!
I looked up Frances' age (born 1952), and my goodness, she looks great! Obviously, her diet and lifestyle make her radiate with health and vitality.
The same crew where all there to see Moby as the past several days of vegan events: Brendan Brazier (contributor to Gristle, bravo!), Robert Cheeke, Jordan and Jolia Allen, Benny Chan, Kato Space, and many other friends. It was a great eve, and I'm realizing I need to get back to the Skirball to check out the exhibits during the day soon.

Chris Mattrick, a representative from Green Mountain National Forest (GMNF), attended the Warren Select Board meeting on Tuesday, August 28, to provide updates on projects that are currently taking place in the town's federally-protected forested areas.
One of the main issues currently facing the GMNF in Warren is the lack of parking at Warren Falls. With only a small space for cars to pull in and park at the entrance to the falls, many are parking along the street on Route 100, along a curved section from which it can sometimes be difficult for oncoming traffic to see cars pulling in and out.
"We're concerned about the safety in that stretch of road," Mattrick, the acting district ranger for Middlebury and Rochester Ranger Districts, said. For this reason, fixing the parking problem at Warren Falls has moved to the top of the GMNF's priority list.
Right now, the GMNF is working on a still conceptualized plan to push back the guardrail in front of the entrance and create a parking lot for 20 to 30 cars. They are hoping to construct the lot sometime next year, most likely in the fall.
Mattrick also discussed plans for parking up by Blueberry Lake, as the GMNF will construct a new lot on the west side of the road, across the street from the lake.
Warren boasts a number of areas that are protected and maintained in conjunction with the GMNF and the new parking plans hope to make these areas even more accessible. Soon, even the most car-protective locals will have one less excuse not to brave the crowds at Warren Falls and Blueberry Lake.

According to HulkWogan DiskEx is unnecessary unless you want to compress (which I do prefer as I'm running low on HDD space). Someone else said earlier in this thread that the app loader and bin files (all contained in a "sys" folder) are not needed...this makes me curios to test that for myself.

alright. i offically give up. is there a start to finish guide on this anywhere? what is the best loader to use? im using usb loader gx r1193 ios249, and i cant get any gamecube games to load, always either freezes the wii or black screens. im seeing i should set dml to dm, but i cant find it anywhere in the settings, and i never installed dml, just dm 2.0. i dont know if i just dont have all the correct files i need to make this work, if im still on outdated loaders, blah blah. also, i had to go and find the gc_devo pack because i didnt have that at all.
also, these arent downloaded iso's. these are straight rip from offical retail disc games.
so please, help lol. this is getting frustrating.
ps. my hard drive is formatted to fat 32, 32kb clusters. i have my wii games in "WBFS"(those load just fine, play just fine), and my GC games in "Games".
Update to USB Loader GX 3.0 r1200 (IOS249) and DIOS MIOS 2.2, in settings change DML version to 2.2+ (yes, it says DML but it is for DML and DM). If that doesn't help, try these things:Originally Posted by jakecore
A) Reformat the HDD just to be 100% sure you have the settings correct
B) Try re-ripping the games using CleanRip 1.0.5 (I'm told you don't have to but be sure to run then through DiscEx). If they don't work compressed try them without compressing, still run them through DiscEx just tell it NO when asked if you want to compress.
C) Provided you SD card is a standard 2GB try reformatting it to FAT32 with allocation size of 4096 bytes (this is how mine is set up and it works).
If all else fails your HDD might not be compatible, in that case try a different USB drive to test that theory. Try a small flashstick (8gb SanDisc Cruzer or something similar)

my sd card is only a 1gb. does it need to be 2gb? its what ive been using for about the past year with my outdated version of usb loader gx.
Just to reiterate the fact, discEX is totally unecesseray for me personally and may even create compatibility issues for some, games I have and all of which run perfect may I add are on DM 2.2 as an .iso ripped straight from a compatible loader and untouched thereafter.
games include and are PAL:
Super mario sunshine, zelda - wind waker, resident evil 0, 1 & 2, starfox, rogue squadron, rogue leader and luigi's mansion.
Hopefully this helps somebody.
It's a Wii program, you can get it from Wiibrew on your computer. It may also be in the HomeBrew Browser on the Wii but I'm not completely sure, my advice, just go to WiiBrew and DL it there. Extract it to your SD card. Just make sure you put it in the correct place so it shows up in HBCOriginally Posted by jakecore
I'm not sure if your 1gb card is an issue or not. If its been working for you I'd assume it's fine. It's just recommended that you use a 2gb SD card from what I've read.

2 is enough depending on how many apps and other things are on the SD card. As far as I know, no GC games are bigger than 1.36gb, so it's possible but much easier to just rip them to a larger USB device.Originally Posted by HulkWogan
Anyone else experiencing this: I'm using USB Loader GX 3.0 r1200 with DM 2.2 and, though it's not seeming to cause any issues, every time I click start on a game I get a message telling me Dios Mios (Lite) no longer uses the no disc function and that I must put a disc in the drive. Now I don't actually have to, I can load the games without a disc but why is it telling me this every time? I have "DML No Disc" turned on, there is a second option called DML No Disc+ but I haven't tried it as I don't know what it does. Anyone have any ideas?

For as much as gaming is moving forward in recent years, gaining acceptance among the public as an art form that appeals to more than just teenage boys and shut-in weirdos, some in the industry seem to be doing everything in their power to reverse course.
Such is the case today, when we learn that Deep Silver has come out with perhaps the most tasteless, terrible special edition bonus for a game yet. Order the "Zombie Bait" edition of Dead Island Riptide in the UK for £100 and you get this foot high bust of…well a bust.
It's a mutilated, bikini-clad, female zombie torso to be specific, and it's already sparking outrage among gamers and non-gamers alike. Deep Silver's marketing and sales director Paul Nicholls has the company's justification.
"We wanted to provide a unique collector's edition that was utterly Dead Island and would make a striking conversation piece on any discerning zombie gamer's mantel."
I've never been one for hyper expensive collector's editions of games, but I have to think there's a difference between placing other nerdy collectibles like a Spartan helmet or a COG Lancer on your shelf, as opposed the mutilated corpse of a woman. This is straight up American Psycho territory here. I can't imagine explaining this to anyone who came in your room and saw it.
"No, no, it's a ZOMBIE bikini torso, not a murder victim torso! I'm not crazy!"
"You are displaying a dead woman's chest on your desk."
"It's satire!"
In any case, this is just fodder for those who claim that games A) are way too violent and B) treat women like objects. They've actually managed to do both in one fell swoop, which would be impressive if it wasn't utterly horrifying. I can see the Fox News headline now: "New Zombie Game Gives Away Mutilated Female Torso as Collectible." And they would be right.
Please, please abort this terrible idea, Dead Island team. I get that shock value sells, but there's a difference between making a splash and embarrassing your entire industry, and you're doing the latter with this abomination.

- Novel SSR markers from BAC-end sequences, DArT arrays and a comprehensive genetic map with 1,291 marker loci for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) (2011)
- Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the third most important cool season food legume, cultivated in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The goal of this study was to develop novel molecular markers such as microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-end sequences (BESs) and diversity arrays technology (DArT) markers, and to construct a high-density genetic map based on recombinant inbred line (RIL) population ICC 4958 (C. arietinum)×PI 489777 (C. reticulatum). A BAC-library comprising 55,680 clones was constructed and 46,270 BESs were generated. Mining of these BESs provided 6,845 SSRs, and primer pairs were designed for 1,344 SSRs. In parallel, DArT arrays with ca. 15,000 clones were developed, and 5,397 clones were found polymorphic among 94 genotypes tested. Screening of newly developed BES-SSR markers and DArT arrays on the parental genotypes of the RIL mapping population showed polymorphism with 253 BES-SSR markers and 675 DArT markers. Segregation data obtained for these polymorphic markers and 494 markers data compiled from published reports or collaborators were used for constructing the genetic map. As a result, a comprehensive genetic map comprising 1,291 markers on eight linkage groups (LGs) spanning a total of 845.56 cM distance was developed (http://cmap.icrisat.ac.in/cmap/sm/cp/thudi/). The number of markers per linkage group ranged from 68 (LG 8) to 218 (LG 3) with an average inter-marker distance of 0.65 cM. While the developed resource of molecular markers will be useful for genetic diversity, genetic mapping and molecular breeding applications, the comprehensive genetic map with integrated BES-SSR markers will facilitate its anchoring to the physical map (under construction) to accelerate map-based cloning of genes in chickpea and comparative genome evolution studies in legumes.
- The salt-responsive transcriptome of chickpea roots and nodules via deepSuperSAGE (2011)
- Background: The combination of high-throughput transcript profiling and next-generation sequencing technologies is a prerequisite for genome-wide comprehensive transcriptome analysis. Our recent innovation of deepSuperSAGE is based on an advanced SuperSAGE protocol and its combination with massively parallel pyrosequencing on Roche's 454 sequencing platform. As a demonstration of the power of this combination, we have chosen the salt stress transcriptomes of roots and nodules of the third most important legume crop chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). While our report is more technology-oriented, it nevertheless addresses a major world-wide problem for crops generally: high salinity. Together with low temperatures and water stress, high salinity is responsible for crop losses of millions of tons of various legume (and other) crops. Continuously deteriorating environmental conditions will combine with salinity stress to further compromise crop yields. As a good example for such stress-exposed crop plants, we started to characterize salt stress responses of chickpeas on the transcriptome level. Results: We used deepSuperSAGE to detect early global transcriptome changes in salt-stressed chickpea. The salt stress responses of 86,919 transcripts representing 17,918 unique 26bp deepSuperSAGE tags (UniTags) from roots of the salt-tolerant variety INRAT-93 two hours after treatment with 25 mM NaCl were characterized. Additionally, the expression of 57,281 transcripts representing 13,115 UniTags was monitored in nodules of the same plants. From a total of 144,200 analyzed 26bp tags in roots and nodules together, 21,401 unique transcripts were identified. Of these, only 363 and 106 specific transcripts, respectively, were commonly up- or down-regulated (>3.0-fold) under salt stress in both organs, witnessing a differential organ-specific response to stress. Profiting from recent pioneer works on massive cDNA sequencing in chickpea, more than 9,400 UniTags were able to be linked to UniProt entries. Additionally, gene ontology (GO) categories over-representation analysis enabled to filter out enriched biological processes among the differentially expressed UniTags. Subsequently, the gathered information was further cross-checked with stress-related pathways. From several filtered pathways, here we focus exemplarily on transcripts associated with the generation and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as well as on transcripts involved in Na+ homeostasis. Although both processes are already very well characterized in other plants, the information generated in the present work is of high value. Information on expression profiles and sequence similarity for several hundreds of transcripts of potential interest is now available. Conclusions: This report demonstrates, that the combination of the high-throughput transcriptome profiling technology SuperSAGE with one of the next-generation sequencing platforms allows deep insights into the first molecular reactions of a plant exposed to salinity. Cross validation with recent reports enriched the information about the salt stress dynamics of more than 9,000 chickpea ESTs, and enlarged their pool of alternative transcripts isoforms. As an example for the high resolution of the employed technology that we coin deepSuperSAGE, we demonstrate that ROS-scavenging and -generating pathways undergo strong global transcriptome changes in chickpea roots and nodules already 2 hours after onset of moderate salt stress (25mM NaCl). Additionally, a set of more than 15 candidate transcripts are proposed to be potential components of the salt overly sensitive (SOS) pathway in chickpea. Newly identified transcript isoforms are potential targets for breeding novel cultivars with high salinity tolerance. We demonstrate that these targets can be integrated into breeding schemes by micro-arrays and RT-PCR assays downstream of the generation of 26bp tags by SuperSAGE.

Rated 5 out of 5 by IheartTB AMAZING These shoes are absolutely beautiful! I got so many compliments on them and they're extremely comfortable. Very functional because of the thicker heel, but still very feminine. Look very high quality and expensive. Fit is true to size, but if you're on the fence, go half size down because they do give a bit. October 9, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Trendy15 Gorgeous shoe I fell in love with this shoe-both in the black and brown though sadly have to return the shoe. The pitch of the shoe and heel height are too high. There's a gap whereby the middle part of my foot doesn't sit in the shoe. This happens often with TB shoes that are 4" or higher -wish she would design shoes like this with a smaller heel so they can be more practical. July 13, 2013

It was a Frommer graduate exacta in the 1 1/8-mile Grade 1 Santa Margarita Stakes at Santa Anita Park on March 16. However, Michael Talla's More Chocolate found herself finishing second as she was beaten four lengths by Fox Hill Farm's Joyful Victory. The Grade 2 winning daughter of Malibu Moon returns to the races Friday, in the 1 1/16-mile, $300,000 Grade 2 La Troienne at Churchill Downs, as part of the Kentucky Oaks undercard.
The bay filly, conditioned by John Sadler, was brilliant in the first start of her 4-year-old campaign, winning the 1 1/16-mile Grade 2 La Canada Stakes, her debut on the dirt by 1 3/4-lengths at Santa Anita Park on Jan. 20.
More Chocolate drew post position no. 3 in the seven horse field for Friday's La Troienne, is 5/1 on the morning line, will carry 120 pounds, and jockey Joel Rosario gets the ride back on the stakes winning filly.
Cary Frommer consigned More Chocolate to the 2011 Fasig-Tipton Two-Year-Olds in Training Florida Sale, and she was purchased for $310,000 by Martin Anthony. More Chocolate's dam is the multiple graded stakes winner Little Treasure (FR).
A two-time winner during her sophomore campaign, More Chocolate has three wins, two seconds and one third, from nine starts, and has lifetime earnings of $242,790.

CHICAGO — Tribune Co. said Monday that it reached a deal to buy Local TV Holdings LLC's 19 TV stations for $2.73 billion in cash, significantly boosting its television business as it looks to sell its newspaper operations.
Tribune currently owns 23 TV stations and cable network WGN America, along with the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times and other newspapers. The deal will give it 42 stations, making the Chicago-based company one of the nation's top TV station owners. Tribune said it will be the No. 1 commercial TV station group in the country based on its broadcast reach into more than 50 million homes.
The deal reshapes the broadcast media landscape and follows two recent broadcast acquisition deals by companies whose roots are in newspapers. These companies are trying to acquire additional television stations at a time when the newspaper industry is faltering.
Last month, Gannett Co., the publisher of USA Today, announced plans to buy TV station owner Belo Corp. for about $1.5 billion. The acquisition will nearly double Gannett's portfolio of stations from 23 to 43, reaching nearly one-third of U.S. households. The company said the deal will give it access to what it said are some of the fastest-growing television markets, including Dallas, Houston and Seattle.
Just a week earlier, Media General Inc. and New Young Broadcasting Holding Co. announced plans to combine into a company that will operate 30 TV stations in 27 markets including San Francisco, Nashville, Tenn., and Richmond, Va. That came after Media General sold all its newspapers last year to focus on broadcasting.
There are several reasons why broadcast stations are increasingly attractive. For one, they offer companies more opportunities to sell increasingly lucrative political-campaign ads in battleground markets. Another plus: The more stations a conglomerate owns, the more clout is has when negotiating the fees that cable and satellite TV companies pay to include broadcast stations on customers' lineups.
Tribune cited those factors, as well as its potential to maximize its national and local advertising sales, while acquiring more outlets to distribute its video and digital content.
"Our investment thesis is simple. Scale matters," Tribune Co. President and CEO Peter Liguori said in a conference call with analysts.
The company said it expects the deal to boost its profits immediately and result in more than $100 million in annual cost savings within five years. Local TV's holdings include stations in Denver, Cleveland, St. Louis and other major cities. Markets served by Tribune include Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Seattle. Tribune also has one radio station, WGN-AM in Chicago. Tribune will be getting seven additional Fox stations and five more CBS affiliates through the deal.
Tribune is trying to sell its newspapers to focus on its more profitable broadcasting operations. The newspaper sale is being done at the behest of a group of lenders that took over the company as part of a bankruptcy reorganization.
The newspapers have been hurt by a shift that has driven more readers and advertisers to the Internet and mobile devices. The downturn in print advertising was one of the factors that caused Tribune to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2008. It emerged from court oversight at the end of 2012.
Local TV is principally owned by private equity firm Oak Hill Capital Partners.
The Tribune deal, which remains subject to antitrust and Federal Communications Commission approvals, is expected to close by the end of 2013. Tribune Co. said it has received committed financing of up to $4.1 billion and expects the deal will be financed through a combination of debt financing and cash on hand.

I've been trying to access my digimag for about 2weeks now(i just recently switched) and it keeps giving me some sign in error message, some help will be greatly appreciated...thank you!
Signed up for the digital version about a week ago. Cant access the app, the page or anything so I went in the store assuming i told them the wrong email. Nope.
So I go home and try to log BACK in and try. Wow I can buy a subscription?? I have one!
so I email customer support ,as I work during your banker's hours, and was told to check my email spelling *facepalm* thanks auto generated email....still can't read anything. This is stupid.
Just signed up for power up rewards with a digital subscription and never got my email with the link. I was planning on kicking back, having a glass of nice merlot, and reading game informer on my iPad. Help!
I'm also having a problem getting my digital subscription. My email here and the email I used to subscribe are already the same.
I keep getting the change private Email FAQ message when I try to view my digital subscription.
your private email address on gi.com has to be the one you subscribed with.
There's an issue with the system that processes conversion requests. We should have it resolved shortly.
Just signed up with it at the store today, how do I take advantage of the ipad app?
Neither can I. Can you plese correct this in my account?
Hello all, I'm new here & sorry if this is in the wrong area but, I've been a PowerUPs Pro member for some time now which includes a GameInformer subscription. Not too long after that I received an email about a digital subscription so I gave it a go. I was informed that I would get 2 more paper magazines (which I did) then the rest wold go digital. My neighbor got his new paper edition a couple days ago & I'm stuck with nothing. Can someone please help with this matter? Thanks in advance! Also, i don't have any of my previous mags because I usually give them to my nephews after I'm done, I know for certain instances you need the subscription number. I have other information that might help.
Also one other thing, I believe i was in June when I went digital
I am having the same issue...never received link to digital magazine and I switched from print a couple of days ago.
Have you sent a message via the following page:
i have the power up rewards pro too and the guy at gamestop told me to switch it and all that and when i did it gameinformer sent me the email saying i would get a link or could access it on the site but it doesnt do either, on the site it just says subscribe and switch to digital which i have done numerous times...idk what to do i paid for it so id like to have it.

Why would they want your phone number, rather than an email address?
Upcoming iPhone email app 'Mailbox' now taking reservations for staggered roll out
A new email app will soon be available for the iPhone that wants to change the way we deal with email on our iPhone for the better. The new app created by Orchestra is said to be inspired by the simplicity of the "Clear" to do app and the beautiful interface of the Sparrow email app. The developers are so confident of its success that they have decided to stagger its availability by creating a reservation system where the app will be rolled out to avoid any server meltdowns.
Mailbox is the inbox reinvented for a world on the go. It's how email on the phone should work: Mailbox checks your email from the cloud and delivers it to your phone with lightning-fast speed. A colorful swipe-based UI makes processing a delight. And unique "snooze buttons" let you put off messages until later. Mailbox makes getting to zero—and staying there—a breeze. After you experience a clean inbox, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
The Mailbox app looks like a beautiful way to access and handle your day to day email. It has a very slick user interface and looks like it will be a very popular app. Having said that, in order for any third party email app to be really useful, it would have to become the default email app on the iPhone. There is nothing more frustrating than clicking a link in Safari and the stock app opening when you are using Mailbox or any other third party app. Currently Apple does not allows you to change default email apps but hopefully that may change in the future.
If that doesn't put you off and you want to get access to the staggered roll out of Mailbox as early as possible, you will have to register your iPhone number with the Mailbox team. You will then receive a reservation place and a private code that you will need to access the app when it is available. You shouldn't have to wait too long for that, it should be out in the coming weeks. Mailbox will be a free app but may offer paid premium features in the future.

Upcoming iPhone email app 'Mailbox' now taking reservations for staggered roll out
It is odd. Their FAQ says it's because they're going to SMS the code to you. Maybe it's to prevent multiple entries?
To prevent people from registering multiple times.
nice one
and what they gonna do with our cell number? no thanks
edit: looks like many don't mind getting spam
I don't follow why people would start getting spam.
by selling the phone list to marketing company like many many do
Why are assuming that they "will" sell your iPhone number? Shall I assume that people who leave blank profile photos on blog posts are hiding something?
Got my code and looking forward to trying it. Better mail handling is the only thing that I miss about my BlackBerry. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Don't laugh, but the new Yahoo! Mail app is hands-down (far-and-away) the best email app out there in terms of interface. Swipe any message, from either direction, and boom: Star, Mark Unread, Mark as Spam, Send to Folder, and Trash icons appear right where you want them. Click any message's (or multiple) messages check box and the same icons appear at the bottom of the app for batch actions. It's perfect, and I wish I could use it for all of my accounts. If this acts like that and allows for multiple accounts, it could be a winner.
Agreed re: the default email app, but it is not the links that are so much of a problem, or even notifications, but the lack of permission to fetch and download in the background. I bought and love(d) Sparrow, but it would always be at least a few more seconds compared to Mail.app to get the message after first entering the app.
Unless and until Apple allows a third parties this ability, the only company that can build a "perfect" mail app is Apple, and they do not seem interested in the task.
Just what I need. More gesture based crap which gives you no indication of what gestures are for what and why, and has different gesture schemes than all the other gesture crap...
The last thing I want to do is to try and memorize gesture schemes for 20 different apps. That is why buttons and icons work, because they are visible so that A) you know that they are there, and B) you know what the hell they do.
From their video I have no idea what they were doing with anything except the delete.
So far - aside from the whole problem with the "default mail app" thing - I am really happy with the GMail app...
I think Apple should buy this company! This is the way email is suppose to be! As of late software is becoming way more important than hardware and whoever has the best software wins period! With Samsung becoming more powerful with their emerging ecosystem, this would be a powerful acquistion to keep people locked into iOS. It's all about killer apps!
Mailbox looks really awesome, let's see how the battle will continue with others like http://sendhello.to, http://evomail.com

Updated with Mega's response to several of the site's security issues below, as well as one newly-discovered security problem.
Kim Dotcom, like every smart founder of a startup in a crisis, is pivoting. Since his Mega empire of filesharing websites and financial assets were seized in an indictment over massive alleged copyright violations last year, he's been working on a relaunch designed to transform the company's reputation from a business focused on piracy to one focused on privacy–specifically, airtight encryption like no other storage site has ever offered.
But the security community knows that the boldest claims about new encryption technology demand the most scrutiny. And some crypto researchers are already punching holes in the secure lining of Mega's cloud.
"It's a nice website, but when it comes to cryptography they seem to have no experience," says Nadim Kobeissi, a 22-year old cryptographer and creator of the secure chat software Cryptocat, who began poring over the public portions Mega's code as soon as it debuted over the weekend. "Quite frankly it felt like I had coded this in 2011 while drunk."
The most glaring issue for Kobeissi is that Mega claims to offer end-to-end encryption of users' files without requiring them to download any software. All of the encryption takes place in the user's browser automatically when he or she visits the site. Mega describes that system as "User-Controlled Encryption."
"Unlike the industry norm where the cloud storage provider holds the decryption key, with MEGA, you control the encryption, you hold the keys, and you decide who you grant or deny access to your files, without requiring any risky software installs," reads the company's website. "It's all happening in your web browser!
That's a tempting convenience for users, but it's also a setup that has been widely debunked as insecure. When a website loads all the encryption code in a user's browser from a remote server, it can change that code without the user's knowledge. So Mega, or anyone else who gains control of the Mega server sending the crypto algorithms, can turn off that encryption or steal the user's private key, which would allow decryption of all past and future uploads. Kobeissi says he's traced several of Mega's servers to the United States, which would mean U.S. law enforcement could even force administrators to hijack the servers' encryption commands.
"They can actually change their code to force your browser to send them your Mega encryption keys, or change the code to disable crypto from the get-go," says Kobeissi, who ran his own Cryptocat encrypted chat site with the same no-download model in 2011, but switched to a more secure browser plug-in after widespread criticism. "They can do anything with the crypto operations at any time."
All of that means despite Mega's "you hold the keys" claim, users still have to trust Mega and any entity that has compromised the company not to decrypt their files. Mega acknowledges as much in its Help Center page on security and privacy. "If you don't trust us, you cannot run any code provided by us, so opening our site in your browser and entering your password is off limits," it reads.
But the problem goes beyond trusting Mega's servers, says cryptographer Moxie Marlinspike, who recently left a position as head of product security for Twitter. Browser-based cryptography also means that anyone who breaks the SSL encryption that protects the data sent by the server could tamper with the code just as easily.
"The security of Javascript-based cryptography is reducible to the security of the channel in which the Javascript is transmitted (every time you visit the page), which in this case is an SSL connection," Marlinspike writes to me in an email. "If you can break SSL, you can break MEGA."
To make matters worse, Mega's SSL server seems to use weak 1024-bit encryption, rather than the 2048-bit encryption considered the minimum standard by many cryptographers for a decade. (This 2004 study, for instance, that declared 1024-bit keys would only be secure until 2006.)
Mega co-founder Bram van der Kolk alluded in his Twitter feed Sunday to a system of verifying the authenticity of external Javascript, which might be intended to prevent those kinds of vulnerabilities by checking the code to make sure it hasn't been altered. I've written to van der Kolk to ask for more information, and I'll add an update when I hear back from him.
Update: Van der Kolk writes in an email that while at least one of Mega's URL (eu.static.mega.co.nz) uses only 1024-bit encryption to "reduce CPU load," Mega.co.nz itself uses 2048-bit encryption for its SSL. Mega's Javascript verification system checks the code against the more strongly-protected connection, in theory ensuring that it hasn't been intercepted and changed. He also responded to other criticisms in this article, and I've included his comments below in line with each point.
The issues around browser-based cryptography are a few of the litany of errors and problems critics have spotted in Mega's security setup. They also include:
- Using Javascript's pseudorandom-number generator to create encryption keys, which is known to be predictable. Though the site says it seeds the generator with random data from users' keystrokes and mouse movements, it's not clear when that might happen; Users are never prompted to make those random input movements. Update: Van der Kolk maintains that Mega is using more than Javascript's number generator, and points users toward this page showing the code for collecting random numbers from mouse movements and keyboard strokes.
- Designing the system so that users can't change their password without losing access to all encrypted files they've previously stored with Mega. That also means that if a user's password is compromised, it's compromised forever. Update: Van der Kolk says the site will add the ability to change passwords "shortly."
- Leaving cross-site scripting vulnerabilities on the site, (according, at least, to one Reddit user) which could allow an attacker to steal a user's session cookies and gain access to his or her account.
- Claiming in its terms of service that it can spot and delete duplicate files on its servers for better efficiency. That raises the question: If it can identify files in your encrypted folders, doesn't that mean the files aren't totally secret? Third parties may also be able to match up files between users and otherwise learn about the contents of their supposedly protected uploads. Update: Van der Kolk clarifies: "Deduplication is done based on the entire encrypted file and only happens if you either upload the same file encrypted with the same key twice (unlikely) or if you copy or import an existing file in your file manager (more likely)."
In fact, the new Mega seems to have so many holes that some observers wonder if the site–and its users–really care about security rather than mere plausible deniability. Its encryption may not protect users' data from outside snoops. But it might allow Mega itself to claim ignorance of any copyrighted files that are uploaded to the site, just as the company has claimed ignorance in defending itself against the massive copyright indictment brought by the United States last year.
"Fundamentally, I'm not sure that the integrity of their cryptographic protocol is really that important," cryptographer Moxie Marlinspike writes to me in an email. "All that matters is MEGA's ability to plausibly claim they don't have any way to identify copyrighted material on their servers, and my intuition is that this probably meets that technical bar."
Whether Mega's security claims are real or simply a clever "see no evil" smokescreen will become clearer as the site responds to criticisms, says John Hopkins professor Green. "The charitable interpretation is that this is a beta and it will get better," he says. "The less charitable interpretation is…'wink wink, everyone knows we're really doing this just to protect ourselves.' If that's your legal strategy, you probably wouldn't want to admit it."
Update 2: Mega has responded in full, defending its practices against the security criticisms outlined here in a blog post. But another blog post by the security group fail0verflow outlines another oversight in the company's encryption, which involves using a weak hashing scheme in its Javascript verification system. Mega founder Kim Dotcom answered on Twitter: "We look forward to work with the crypto community to make #Mega even better. We get lots of useful input. Thank you."

Brink of disasterSeptember 23,2013We never knew it at the time, but it now appears certain that in January of 1961 just three days after President John F. Kennedy was inaugurated the United States barely escaped a nuclear disaster of unprecedented proportions when two hydrogen bombs were accidentally dropped near Goldsboro, N.C..
The B-52 aircraft carrying them broke apart in mid-air and the bombs, 260 times more powerful than the atom bombs that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945, fell to the ground.
Nuclear experts have estimated that had either bomb exploded the lethal fallout could have spread as far as Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City, endangering thousands, if not millions, of lives. The bombs payload represented the equivalent of four million tons of TNT.
Fortunately, a low-voltage switch functioned properly and it appears that is the only thing that prevented the devastating explosion when the bombs struck the ground.
How do we know this after all these years? Because, over the weekend, The Guardian, the London newspaper that is more and more a source of significant international news (for example, it broke the story of Edward Snowden, the American security contractor who leaked so many classified documents), published in declassified form a secret government document that described the 1961 incident.
At the time of the incident, there had been considerable public speculation about how narrow the Goldsboro escape was, although the government repeatedly denied that any American lives were in jeopardy.
However, the newly published document quotes a senior engineer in the Sandia National Laboratories (which are managed by Lockheed Martin on behalf of the Defense Department and are responsible for the mechanical safety of nuclear weapons) that one simple, dynamo-technology, low voltage switch stood between the United States and a major catastrophe.
Eight years after the incident, the Sandia scientist, Parker F. Jones, authored a document he called Goldsboro Revisited or: How I Learned to Mistrust the H-bomb and in it he stated conclusively that one simple, dynamo-technology, low-voltage switch stood between the United States and a major catastrophe.
The MK 39 Mod 2 bomb did not possess adequate safety for the airborne alert role in the B-52, he added.
Jones found that of the four safety mechanisms in the Faro (the small town near Goldsboro where the bombs actually fell), designed to prevent unintended detonation, three failed to operate properly, The Guardian reported. When the bomb hit the ground, a firing signal was sent to the nuclear core of the device, and it was only that final, highly vulnerable switch that averted calamity.
According to The Christian Science Monitor, which also reported on the matter this past weekend, the two bombs landed in a field and a meadow, near Faro, N.C., where theres now a roadside marker commemorating the nuclear mishap. A spokesman for the Pentagon once insisted to a wire service reporter that the bombs were, in fact, unarmed and could not have exploded.
There have been similar near-misses. Three years before the near-disaster in rural North Carolina, a 7,600-pound Mark 15 nuclear bomb disappeared in Wassaw Sound, near Tybee Island, Ga., after a bomber and a fighter jet, both on training missions, collided. The bomb has never been found, and The Christian Science Monitor adds arguments continue to this day about whether the lost Tybee Island nuke was armed.
This all occurred during the Cold War, when the United States and the Soviet Union each believed the nuclear threat was genuine.
In that political climate, one can only imagine the consequences had there actually been an explosion.MORE IN CommentaryOn Friday, the government of Puerto Rico announced that it was about to miss a bond payment.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.---For the first time since Dec. 29, the Chicago Wolves' power-play unit came through with multiple goals and, for the first time this season, the Wolves stand alone atop the AHL's Midwest Division.
All-Star Darren Haydar delivered two power-play goals as the Wolves leapfrogged Charlotte for first place with a 3-1 triumph Saturday night at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Forward Mike Duco added a career-high 3 assists for the Wolves (33-22-2-3) while deadline acquisition Andrew Gordon's first goal for the team doubled as the game-winner. Eddie Lack (17-15-3) stopped 24 shots to earn the win.
Haydar, who has scored goals in each of the last three games, leaped over Bob Nardella for fourth place on the Wolves' all-time scoring chart. Haydar owns 103 goals and 196 assists in 256 career games with the team.
The Wolves opened the scoring with their first power-play goal in 21 chances this season against the Checkers. Duco slid a perfect cross-ice pass to the left circle for Haydar, who one-timed a blast past Charlotte goaltender Justin Peters (6-8-1). Mark Mancari also earned an assist on the play.
Charlotte (31-20-3-5) evened the score with a short-handed goal at 11:50 of the second period. The Wolves missed a check at the offensive blue line, which set the stage for Checkers center Zac Dalpe to swoop in on a breakaway. He beat Lack glove-side with a top-shelf blast.
Gordon's go-ahead goal came at the 4:58 mark of the third. Duco led a 3-on-2 advantage into the offensive zone and slid the puck to Antoine Roussel coming down the left side. Roussel spied Gordon flying down the middle and threaded a pass that Gordon redirected off Peters' glove and across the line.
The Wolves earned an insurance goal at 9:33 when Haydar unleashed a slapshot from the top of the right circle that trickled past Peters (24 saves). Six-foot-5, 215-pound Byron Bitz aided Haydar by planting himself in front of the crease. Duco and Bitz picked up assists.
The Wolves and Checkers meet for the final time this season at 2 p.m. Sunday. The Wolves' next appearance at Allstate Arena is 7 p.m. Wednesday against Peoria in an Illinois Lottery Cup contest.

Jonathan "Jay" Brooks is going to have his day in court.
On April 2, Jay Brooks will appear before a Circuit Court Judge in Columbia to argue that his assets, those of Compass Academy and those of his companies, J. Brooks Financial and Brooks Real Estate Holdings, should not remain frozen while he fights allegations of securities fraud.
The hearing will determine if the temporary restraining order currently placed against the assets will become an injunction. If that happens, the assets can only be released if the case ends in favor of the Brookses.
Jay Brooks is alleged, by the Securities Division of the Attorney General's office, to have illegally sold securities – as investments in Compass Academy – that were unregistered with the State and that he was not registered as a broker-dealer with the company that sold them. He is also accused by the Attorney General's Office of converting invested funds for his own use.
Brooks' attorney has denied any wrongdoing on the part of his client. Tracey Brooks, wife of Jay, posted statements last week on the Compass Academy website reportedly from her husband that described the case and the reporting of the case as "malicious lies." The statement since has been removed from the site.
The Brookses likely would both be facing allegations if the case goes to a trial, according to Tracy Meyers of the Attorney General's office. Meyers said that an amended complaint would likely add Tracey Brooks.
The hearing on Tuesday will be in front of Judge Clifton Newman of Kingstree, S.C.
