Whats a good 9mmhandgun?
Hello, I'm looking to buy a 9mm, I was looking into the glock 26, and ruger sr9, what else is a good 9mm handgun
Well,last night,I finally picked up a Sig P210-9 Legend target that I've been waiting on for over a year.I took it to the range today and it out shot me.I'd say it's a pretty good 9mm handgun!
Don't overlook the CZ line.
I have bout 500$ so if any body could also give me more ideas that would be great
If you want a bang-for-the-buck pistol, try a Ruger P95, 9mm on the cheap. edit* The p95 is gonna be well under $500. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_49_75/products_id/18164/Ruger+P95+9mm+Stainless%2C+w+Rail+15+round
http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/21_82/products_id/83805/CZ-USA+CZ75+OMEGA+9mm+16RD+3MAG a cz75b
You should look around on that website to priceshop & search by caliber and such, good website.
I have a P95 that I really like. If you just need a dependable gun the P95 is hard to beat. If you want to shoot in competitions buy a glock. Most competitions are set up to give glock an advantage. My competition is living. If someone tries to disarm you the glock's safety on the trigger could create a problem known as glock leg.
The one you like the best. Handguns are like shoes as far as finding one that fits. If there's a range nearby that has rentals, try a few on. It's worth the money in the long run. You'll get as many opinions here as there are brands out there. Fire a few, then decide.
A Sig 210 is not going to fit the $500 budget. There are lots if guns that could though. Police trade in Sigs in the 226, 229 might be able to be purchased near that price. Used Glocks, Berettas, Smith&Wesson, Springfield XDs, may also fit the budget. Rugers should well in the budget. All are very good guns too in that price range.
You're on the right track. I'd say try all trigger types. I love the Glock and Ruger SR series triggers, also check out S&W Sigma and M&P series. I hate standard DAO, can't even understand how anyone could possibly desire them and lack respect for said guns, but I do think you should try them all so you know why one type is better for you.
Give Bersa Thunder 9mm Pro Carry a try. Long da/sa style but great quality. Mid da/sa would be a S&W 3913 or 5906. Perfect da/sa to try is Taurus pt709 slim. All amazing guns!
My preference is sao, and for that there's the sig p938 as the top contender. I find them way overpriced, but quality is undeniable.

APNewsBreak: Jindal suing feds over Common Core
A draft copy of the lawsuit was provided to The Associated Press by the governor's office. Jindal planned to file it Wednesday in the federal court based in Baton Rouge.
The legal challenge puts Jindal, who is considering a 2016 presidential bid, at the forefront of a dispute between conservatives and President Barack Obama, bolstering the governor's profile on the issue as he's trying to court conservative voters nationwide.
"The federal government has hijacked and destroyed the Common Core initiative," Jindal said in a statement. "Common Core is the latest effort by big government disciples to strip away state rights and put Washington, D.C., in control of everything."
The Common Core standards are math and English benchmarks describing what students should know after completing each grade. They were developed by states to allow comparison of students' performance. More than 40 states, including Louisiana, have adopted them.
When the state education board adopted the standards in 2010, Jindal supported them, saying they would help students to better prepare for college and careers. He reversed course earlier this year, however, and now says he opposes the standards because they are an effort by the Obama administration to meddle in state education policy.
The governor's change of heart is not shared by lawmakers, the state education board and his hand-picked education superintendent, all of whom refuse to jettison Common Core from Louisiana's classrooms. Jindal tried to derail use of the standards by suspending testing contracts, but a state judge lifted that suspension, calling the governor's actions harmful to parents, teachers and students.
Turning to federal court represents a new tactic in Jindal's efforts to undermine Louisiana's use of the standards.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan has criticized the governor's opposition to Common Core as politically driven. In a June interview with "CBS This Morning," the secretary said of Jindal's switched position: "It's about politics, it's not about education."
The Obama administration embraced the standards and encouraged states to adopt them as part of the application process for the Race to the Top grant program. Two state testing consortia — the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, and the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium — received $330 million from the grant program to develop standardized testing material tied to Common Core.
"Louisiana now finds itself trapped in a federal scheme to nationalize curriculum," the lawsuit says. "What started as good state intentions has materialized into the federalization of education policy through federal economic incentives and duress."
Louisiana received more than $17 million from Race to the Top and joined the PARCC consortium. It also received a waiver from certain federal education requirements under a program enacted by the Obama administration in 2011 that Jindal's lawsuit says was designed to coerce states to use Common Core or risk the loss of billions in federal education funding.
The lawsuit will seek a judge to declare the Department of Education's actions unconstitutional and to keep it from disqualifying states from receiving Race to the Top funds based on a refusal to use Common Core or to participate in one of the testing consortia.

How do they work?
Glow Pets light up using the power of LED lights. However, the lights dont get hot and the glowing pillows are perfectly safe for kids. They shine boldly through the animal to portray beautiful, bright lights. There is also a convenient automatic shut-off feature that turns the lights off after 20 minutes; just enough time for the child to fall asleep. Glow Pets can actually fold up to become a stuffed toy or lay flat out to be utilized as a soft, comfy pillow. They can be enjoyed for their colorful lights at bedtime or played with as a regular stuffed animal in the daytime.

Im Happy with Purchase
This was bought for me and one for my son works wonderfully. No complaints lights up very nicely! They only costed $5 each too! : ).

SO Disappointed!
We purchased the seal for $9.99 at Ollie's for our 2 year old. The first night it worked great. Perfect size pillow for her smaller head AND a built in night light. My husband left the setting set to "on", so the next evening, I simply changed it to the 20 min setting. Ever since then, you can move it, hug it, or just poke the seal and the lights flicker on and off! At one point only one section of the lights worked. Seems to be a problem with wiring. After reading other reviews, I won't be exchanging it. At least it didn't melt! We will just cut the light assembly out and have a soft, fluffy seal. So, I'm giving 2 stars for a stuffed animal pillow that we paid only $10 for, but keeping 4 stars for the "glow" part. It's a disappointment.

Fire Hazard
My daughter had her unicorn pillow pet for less than an hour before the battery pack got so hot it began melting the battery. She is heart broken.

Battery Pack Hot; Electrical Smell
After having this for several more this, it was time to change the batteries. My daughter did so, and the stupid thing never lit up again. She left the batteries in though, and came back to it an hour later. The battery pack was too hot for her to handle, and it had an electrical smell to it. I will never purchase one of these again. What a horrible disappointment! And even worse, an major fire hazard.

A little girl in the school that I work at believes that I am Mrs. Claus and asked me if Santa would bring her a glow-pet. I purchased one for her and left it with her Dad on Christmas Eve. School is back in session and she was so excited to tell me about her glo-pet and that Santa came thru! The only problem is IT does NOT work.

Both of my kids got a glow pet for Christmas from my parents. The first ones stopped working within the first week. We returned them and got new ones (the seams came apart within 2 days of opening them), so we took those back and got new ones again. They are now each on their 3rd glow pet.....my daughters light keeps flashing off and on and the only way to stop it is to turn the pillow off and then back on and my sons had a hole in it and the timer does not work. This is now 6 glow pets that we have had problems with! I would recommend that NO ONE buys these for their kids, etc. They are crappy and pieces of garbage!

Delivered Broken
Ordered 2 Seals and a Unicorn. Tried all three, but found that only the Unicorn worked. Neither Seal would turn on. Checked the batteries and the switch position without any luck. Emailed their customer service as they were closed at the time. So far, have not received a response from them. A shame that they only keep Eastern hours. Makes it really difficult for those of us on the West Coast to call them at a convenient time.

Stopped Working
My daughter received one as a gift for Christmas. 2 weeks later it stopped working. The lights only come on in the corner by the button. Very disappointed, especially knowing how much was spend on it.

I Regret Buying It!
Santa brought my daughter a glow pet for Christmas and she was THRILLED--until it stopped working. So now we have an abundance of AA batteries and a Pillow Pet. The original Pillow Pets were a great idea--Glow Pets, not so much.

I Regret Having Them
All 3 of my kids got one today from their grandma and before they went to bed my daughters stopped working. I grabbed it to see why and the battery pack was so hot that I could not even touch it. I took the other two away and made my boys cry, but their lives mean more to me.

I can't count the times I've seen the cover of Cosmo in a supermarket checkout line and cringed at the titles of the articles they contain.
"Bad girl sex: 75 naughty moves to try on a man."
"His 6 secret sex spots: master your guys biggest below-the-belt sex triggers."
Cosmo is a magazine dedicated to turning teenaged girls (and women with the minds of teenaged girls) into promiscuous, deviant, food-starved superficial, soulless clothes racks covered in cheap cosmetics and perfume. As the father of two girls (a tween and a preschooler) I find myself seeking the self-checkout as a way of avoiding not just the lines, but the magazine racks of vile women's magazines that objectify women for profit just as explicitly and cynically as anything Larry Flint could concoct, but on eye-level with toddlers.
One woman, a former model named Nicole Weider, wants the magazine treated like the adult content it is:
"As a former reader of the magazine, I happened to pick up an issue and was reading it and was completely shocked at how pornographic and explicit the content had become. I immediately thought of my young teenage brothers and it horrified me to think that they and their friends could be reading this material, and the damage it would do to them if they did," Weider told FOX411's Pop Tarts column. "So I decided to do something about it."
So, in August 2011, Weider started a Change.org petition to have the magazine sold in a non-transparent wrapper.
Weider wants to make sure nobody under the age of 18 sees the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine on newsstands or at their grocery stores, and that no one under 18 can buy the top-selling title.
"I have contacted the Chairman of the FTC, John Leibowitz and received a letter from his office stating they will look into the issue and start an investigation only when they feel it's a 'threat' to society," she said. "This means they need more complaints — that is, signers of this petition."
I'm a huge advocate of the first amendment, but Weider isn't attempting to ban the magazine, just treating it like the degenerate content that it aspires to be. If she is successful with her petition the magazine will probably sell better than it currently does, and I'm fine with that as well.
I just don't think our four-year-olds need to be getting eye-level advice on how to give blow jobs. If you feel the same way, it takes about 30 sends to sign the petition to have the magazine sold in a non-transparent wrapper like the porn actress techniques it champions.

This paper is an exposition of the analytical study of The Music Appreciation Hour, a weekly classical music program of the National Broadcasting Company directed to children and young students, that Theodor W. Adorno carried out during his participation in the Princeton Radio Research Project (1938-1941). This study comprises two parts: in the first one, Adorno analyzed the musical pedagogy of the program, while in the second one, he pointed out the cultural implications of the program that, despite its non commercial character and nbc support, carried all the marks of the entertainment industry.

By Yi-Wyn Yen
The European Commission on Tuesday declined to greenlight Google's $3.1 billion acquisition of ad network DoubleClick because of competitive concerns. But the issue that could cause Google trouble with United States regulators is privacy.
Analysts point to the opposition the deal has generated because DoubleClick, which tracks individuals' online activities to serve them display and banner ads, can provide Google (GOOG) with much more detailed data on what people do on the web.
"There's plenty of room in the advertising space, and personally, I think it's very hard to come up with a market definition to prevent this acquisition," says Michael Cohen of Pacific American Securities. "There are, however, a lot of privacy issues here."
The Internet search giant has faced resistance since it announced its plans to buy DoubleClick in April. Three public advocacy groups -- the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the Center for Digital Democracy and the U.S. Public Interest Research Group -- have filed petitions urging the Federal Trade Commission to reject the deal. They cite 49 potential privacy violations, such as Google being allowed to retain a user's search information indefinitely. The FTC, which also is reviewing competitiveness implications of the acquisition, expects to issue a decision on the deal by the end of the year.
Google makes most of its revenue through AdWords, which displays text ads tied to keyword search. DoubleClick runs targeted ads based on how consumers navigate the web. Rivals like Yahoo (YHOO), which bought ad startup Right Media for $680 million in April, and Microsoft (MSFT), which acquired Aquantive for $6 billion in May, claim a DoubleClick deal would stifle competition.
Analysts say that all depends on how one defines the advertising marketplace. "If you look at the online display advertising market, Google has a very, very small share. If you're talking about text based advertising, it's much more dominant," says UBS analyst Ben Schachter. "If you're just talking about its share in advertising, then this case is irrelevant. You have to define Internet advertising first in order to frame the issue."
Said Google CEO Eric Schmidt in a statement: "We are obviously disappointed by the European Commission's decision. We will continue to work with the Commission to demonstrate how our proposed acquisition will benefit publishers, advertisers and consumers."
The European Commission said it will issue a decision on the acquisition and make a decision by April 2.

Noise Reducing Earbuds
Buy Now...
Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220vi
Not a name that immediately rolls off the tongue. From the buds back there is 35cm of single cable before it joins with the two sleeved together for the final 80cm to the gold plated 3.5mm plug that not only suits iPods and MP3 players but also the latest Apple offerings as it has three bands rather than the normal two. The multifunction button (allowing you to answer calls etc) is 7cm after the two leads have become one on the cable.
Most earbuds have an L or R to denote which ear, here you have a small red ring (hard to see in certain light) around the right earbud. The buds are silicon and come in three sizes (all supplied) so you should find a good fit.
The earbuds can be worn either as an immediate drop from the ear or taken over the ear and dropped behind whichever you find more comfortable.
The pack (remarkably) does not require industrial scissors to get the product out but once out you are unlikely to carry them around in it at it is designed for display on the dealers shelves. However a small 7x5x2cm flip case is supplied and this should protect the buds in a pocket or purse.
Good quality sound and the noise deadening reduces external noise by around 60% allowing you to listen to your music at a reasonable level and therefore as you do not have volume up too high you do not annoy others.
Doing my Internet searches found the Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220vi at a best price of £45.03 from the first link below.
Sennheiser Street II Comfort Fit
This time the industrial scissors are required but cutting along the top and left side should just about allow you to keep the packaging together.
37cm of single leads from the earbuds till they join together and then 90cm to the gold plated (two band) plug.
Again these are noise reducing and in my unscientific tests they seem to reduce noise slightly more than the Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220vi product. Again three sets (small, medium or large) earbuds in silicon are provided.
Sennheiser say these are entry level and as such there is no multifunction button, so you will just have to remove one bud to answer your phone. Having two bands rather than three probably mean certain advanced Apple kit will not work with them either.
I wore these on alternate days (when out and about) with the item above and while both were effective I preferred the Comfort Fit slightly, mainly when on public transport and the noise reduction was required. I used them both with iPod and MP3 player and found little to choose between sound quality of either of the units.
Doing my Internet searches found the Sennheiser Street II Comfort Fit at a best price of £14.75 including free delivery the first link below.

If the last series problem was too easy for you, here's another to try.
[To give everyone a chance, will delay displaying comments/answers for a day. Thanks.]
(puzzle created for the Smartkit site)
This looks like it's next:
circle triangle
c square
+ s
heehee, sorry, just being silly. I figure c comes next.
it's C, a symbol or letter will appear in two pictures in the same spot, so between the 6 pictures, a single symbol will only be found in 3 different places, C completes the missing pairs
C i just looked at where the S and C moved to they stayed for 2 phases and moved diagonally or back to starting point.
1 1
2 2
3 3
For the second block A1, A3, and B2 from the previous block stay, the rest move clockwise.
For the third block B1, B3, A2 stay, the rest move counterclockwise.
For the fourth block, the same thing with the second block happens.
For the fifth block, the same thing with the third block happens.
For the final block, the same thing with the second block happens, so the answer is C.
its gotta be 'c'. all of the shapes fall into the same position twice in the sequence. not much harder than the last…..maybe easier
The symbols must change position when they have occured twice successively. The symbols always shift two positions circularly forward when they change position.
The answer is C, because of the following reasons:
1. I expect a plus in the second row of the second column
2. I expect a triangle in the third row of the first column
3. I expect a 'c' in the first row of the first column
4. I expect a square in the second row of the first column.
-Vishvas Vasuki
The answer is C.
Objects move two moves either clockwise or counterclockwise.
Having a delay of two counts in between the moves.
Don't ask me to explain it. :-)
That's just the answer that seemed the most logical to me.
C. opposing rotating triangle formations
I'm going with c, to explain why is not that easy but i'll give it a go.
Every figure (triangle, square, etc) stays at the same spot for two consecutive times. Of course it alternates so you don't get 2 consecutive pictures in the serie which are the same. The +, triangle and the C follow the same pattern and the cirkel, square and s follow the same pattern, which is mirrored from the first. Further is the first pattern delayed by one frame from the second.
C. each thing follows the same pattern, stays in place twice, then moves diagonally to the other side and up one, then stays, then diagonal again, then stays, then down to the bottom on the same side. took me prolly 30 seconds to figure out.
Well, this one was supposed to be harder.
'C' is the answer
From the explanations given, looks like quite a few deduced the underlying pattern
Joe's comment pretty much mirrors the solution diagram I'm going to post shortly.
The answer is c.
Link to series puzzles answer
(basically a graphic of what Joe describes)
[…] Here's an earlier, similar IQ puzzle-type question you can try. For something maybe a little more difficult, try this series problem, which will also force you to think clearly. […]
[…] Difficult Series Question- IQ style […]
It C, but there are many ways to see it, like if you look very closely you can see one side of the a block reflects and than swaps one symbol on top of reflected side with the other side in the middel, and then the next block do the same but now it reflects the other side, its just a nother way. But why do they put in something so easy if you can just see each follows the same pattern, stays in place twice? There must be a catch!
The answer is D.
I think its D
the answer is option c
I know the answer, but it took me some time to muster my logical thoughts and discover the answer which dislikes ends and has a Goldie Locks placement.

The fake pills are, quite simply, everywhere. Nearly everyone has a story about fake medications, mostly malaria pills. Because government hospitals are overloaded and corruption makes drugs go missing from official supplies, thousands of people turn to the local pharmacy and buy potentially life-saving drugs when they get the hallmark malarial fever. But in many cases – up to one third of the time – those drugs are fake. The parasite lives on and, when the drugs contain half-strength of partial active ingredients, the parasite can potentially become resistant to real treatment.More here.

The federal government has taken on some of the world's largest companies, including L'Oréal and three Australian organisations, over attempts to own and operate exclusive new internet domains.
This week it issued 129 warnings – the highest number of any government – to companies seeking to own global top-level domains, which would replace the standard .com or .org addresses with the likes of .coke or .book.
The Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy complained against L'Oréal's application for .beauty, as well as applications from Australian groups Tennis Australia, CPA Australia and Open Universities.
It said allowing domains on generic words such as .food could let a successful applicant maintain unreasonable monopolies on the new addresses.
Other domains such as .sucks – independently applied for by three companies – could force companies or individuals to buy web addresses for purely defensive purposes.
Critics of the recently released .xxx domain said companies would be forced to spend money on new website addresses to stop others from making crude implications.
The warnings mean applicants will have to negotiate with the Australian government to give other companies access to the domains. Applicants can withdraw their applications, receiving an 80 per cent refund on the $US185,000 fee.
A government spokesman said it was not objecting to the applications themselves and wanted to "ensure Australian consumers and businesses are protected".
The government's concerns could culminate in international oversight body ICANN denying an application next year.
"Without proper protections in place, the company given control of the domain .book would be able to unfairly exclude people and businesses from registering websites ending with .book," the spokesman said.
"This is clearly unfair, as well as raising competition and consumer protection concerns."
The government has complained against e-commerce giant Amazon's application for .book, although it is one of nine companies applying for the domain.
The spokesman said the government had contacted the three Australian applicants.
The move to own a slice of internet real estate is seen as a marketing opportunity for some of the world's largest brands but has also become a new internet "land grab", with companies trying to gain the rights to domains such as .navy, .airforce and .army. The Australian and US governments asked for immediate withdrawal of those applications.
An open application process earlier this year attracted 2000 domain applications, including from three of the big four Australian banks.
The government objections will be discussed by an advisory committee to ICANN in April next year.

Going Solo
Veterans are more likely to become entrepreneurs as compared to nonveterans. They account for 9 percent of all nonfarm businesses in the United States, and their businesses employ nearly 5.8 million people, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Although little to no research segments them out, anecdotal evidence suggests Reserve Component (RC) service members are a unique part of this continuing trend of veteran business owners, and the mark they are making should not go unnoticed.

Salt Lake County Mayor-elect Ben McAdams made the first appointment of his new administration Tuesday, announcing that Nichole Dunn will remain deputy mayor and will add chief administrative officer to her title.
"Her knowledge and leadership are invaluable to me and the residents of Salt Lake County," McAdams said. Adding the chief administrative officer's duties to her portfolio will, he said, "streamline communication and collaboration between the mayor's office and the operations of the county. … This is the first step for greater efficiency and cooperation in Salt Lake County government."
Dunn is an eight-year veteran of retiring Mayor Peter Corroon's administration. She started as director of government relations in 2005 and spent the past four years as the Democrat's deputy mayor and chief of staff. "I'm glad to be here," said Dunn, a University of Utah graduate. "I like what we do in county government."

Big heroin seizure at Vancouver's airport
An 18-month investigation led to the seizure of 35 kg of heroin and two men arrested at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) in May.
By The Canadian Press
VANCOUVER - RCMP say heroin seized at Vancouver's airport came from south Asia and involved organized crime.
Sgt. Laurie White says two men were arrested in connection with 35 kilograms of heroin that was hidden in several boxes.
Forty-two-year-old Randy Per (PUR) and 34-year-old Tenny Lim have been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.
White says Per has been released but Lim remains in custody and that neither was known to police before they were arrested on May 22.
She says the arrests came after an 18-month investigation.
Per and Lim are scheduled to make their next court appearance in Richmond on July 8.

Haggadah Tips
Whether short and simple or long and complex, the seder is always guided by the Haggadah. And for those about to host their first seder, finding the right Haggadah can be a daunting task. Here are some of my best tips for creating your own memorable Haggadah...
1. Be creative.
Don't be afraid to create your own traditions. With the addition of two newborns within a few months of each other, my family found themselves having to rethink our entire seder. My Dad eventually found a compromise by doing a bit of Internet research and printing out explanations for everything on the seder plate. Each of us got a sheet with a different explanation, which we then read aloud. Not only did we learn quite a few new things, we were engaged in the seder in a whole new way by focusing on the specific objects and what they meant. Another friend of mine found herself in the midst of live table theater when her mother threw out the playbook and enacted the plagues (think rubber bugs and cotton ball-boils) to the delight of her grandchildren.
2. Hit the Internet.
As you can see from this site alone, there is a plethora of information out there to guide and help novices. A computer plus some simple search terms can lead you to innumerable web sites that can fill in the blanks and even suggest songs, games and creative ideas for including the entire range of guests. You can also easily find Passover-themed clip art (much of it for free) to add a little flair and make it more pleasing (and understandable) for your younger guests.
3. Consider your audience.
If you're looking to create a Haggadah to last for years, consider the anticipated changes in the size of your family (or guest list); their religious convictions; their relative attention span and, of course, their general ability to become an unruly mob. Be sure to respect the traditions of older generations and the true meaning of the holiday while taking into account the wants and needs of younger participants. (Hint: songs can go a long way in uniting family members.)
4. Make it personal.
One of the most special family traditions I've encountered came courtesy of a family friend. As a teenager, her niece began keeping a running list of all of their Passover guests in the back of one of their Haggadahs. The list now spans almost 20 years and allows the family to not only add husbands, wives and babies who join the family, but look back at the family members who are no longer with them.
5. Keep it simple.
If the idea of creating your own Haggadah still gives you pause, there's no shame in borrowing from others. Ask friends and family members (or even your temple) if they have one they would like to share or buy or download one online (try Moderntribe.com).

OVERNIGHT closures on the Thelwall Viaduct will taken place on Thursday and Friday as work starts to replace joints on the bridge.
The Highways Agency will bring in closures on the northbound side from 10pm to 5am on Thursday and on the southbound from 10pm to 5am on Friday so contraflows can be put in place.
The £2.5 million scheme to replace six bridge expansion joints is expected to take nine weeks.
The joints allow the bridge to move safely during changes in the weather and different traffic conditions.
To keep four lanes of the motorway running in each direction, a part-contraflow system is being installed.
The closures will be between Lymm and Croft interchanges and diversions will be signed on the alternative routes.
From Saturday 1 March, drivers will find only three lanes open on the southbound bridge with one further southbound lane on the northbound bridge running against four northbound lanes.
All the lanes will be narrowed and a 40mph speed limit will be in place backed by safety cameras.
A dedicated project page has been set up on the Highways Agency's website at highways.gov.uk/roads/road-projects/m6-thelwall-viaduct.

Investors have been crying foul after comments by the Federal Reserve concerning the future tapering of its accommodative polices. The Fed is worried about QE becoming too much of a good thing, leading to the formation of asset bubbles or runaway inflation.
For conservative income investors worried about the principal value of their portfolio, it's not easy to focus on portfolio yield during times like these. However, strategic changes you make to your portfolio during a correction will have a profound impact on how you inevitably emerge from the crisis.
During any correction, I frequently spend a lot of time in deep thought over how I envision our clients' portfolios will look when volatility eventually subsides. I think income investors should be doing the very same thing.
There are three areas that I don't have exposure to today, but know I would like to when the market ultimately reaches a settling point:

"Dinosaurs: Return to Life?" is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. Eastern time (EST) on Sunday, Feb. 17, but viewers should check local listings. Horner is the Ameya Preserve curator of paleontology at MSU's Museum of the Rockies and Regents Professor of Paleontology in Montana.
"He is the central character of the film," producer and director Dan Levitt said in a telephone interview. "He very prominently talks about his theories."
Levitt wrote in an earlier e-mail that "Advances in genetic engineering are moving so fast that famed paleontologist Jack Horner believes that within our lifetime years it will be possible to retro-engineer a dinosaur-like creature from a bird."
People have dreamed of such a thing since the movie "Jurassic Park," but it seemed impossible until scientists discovered soft tissue in dinosaur bones, Levitt said. The find revived speculation about the possibility of recovering dinosaur DNA.
Mary Higby Schweitzer, a former graduate student of Horner's, announced in 2005 that soft tissues were preserved in a 68-million-year-old dinosaur found in Eastern Montana. Schweitzer is now in the Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.
Levitt continued, "Remarkable new genetic advances are revealing that the DNA of dinosaurs and birds, their only living descendants, are extremely similar. And in genetic laboratories, a new breed of dino-hunter is uncovering ancient dinosaur traits in birds' DNA. Their groundbreaking work shows that it would be possible to give a bird teeth, scaly skin, hands, and even a long dinosaur tail."

Mars and Venus in the Workplace: Gender Differences at Work
Mars and Venus in the Workplace: Gender Differences at Work
February 9, 2007
Janet Stoffer
Career Issues
Effective Communication – it's tough to succeed in the workplace without it. But different people have different styles…
Susan is a manager at a mid-sized manufacturing facility. One day, John, her boss, dropped by to visit her and witnessed the following exchange. Susan was talking to Lisa, one of her direct reports.
"Do you think you could finish this report by Friday morning? I'd certainly appreciate it. And also, do you suppose you could give the customer a call and double check those figures so that we are sure the project is handled correctly?"
Being a good manager himself, John assumed this was a case of an insecure manager. Susan seemed to be forgetting that she was the boss. Obviously, Susan was not comfortable with authority, as demonstrated by her hesitancy to give her employee direct orders. He felt she needed a little management coaching and perhaps a pep talk to bolster her confidence.
What he failed to realize was that Susan was acting very correctly given her cultural background. While both John and Susan were white, Midwestern and middle-aged, they were from very different cultural backgrounds.
John is a man and Susan is a woman.
In our increasingly diverse workplace, we are becoming more aware of cultural differences, but we often forget that each gender has a unique culture of its own. During the late 1960s and 70s, we believed that gender differences were completely the result of environment. We noticed that boys and girls were treated differently almost from day one. But, as time went on, we began to recognize that there were inherent differences; that a combination of genetics and behavioral factors combined to create some general patterns that are very different for men and women. Men and women may not really come from different planets, but in a real down-to-earth way, they have very different cultures.
The primary difference between men and women is that men tend to be independent and women tend to be interdependent. Women grow up with a social structure that is inclusive and nonhierarchical. Little girls like to play house or dolls. These are noncompetitive games where everyone has equal power, gets equal turns and tends to protect feelings. If one little girl starts to take the lead, she is accused of being "bossy." Little boys, on the other hand, are status seekers. In a group of boys, a leader will often emerge and he will be the high status boy around whom everything flows. He sets the rules, picks the teams, and tells others what to do. A high degree of competitiveness accompanies this hierarchy. Games have winners and losers.
Girls are usually the first to have boy-girl parties. Because they are interdependent, they want everyone to be on equal footing. The boys, on the other hand, are likely to be the ones who build a treehouse and then put out a sign that reads "No girls allowed!" When mom makes them play with the girls, they are resentful and sullen. The girls are delighted and jump right into the middle of things. They want to be a contributing part of the group. But, when the girls try to suggest activities or want to make additions to the treehouse, they are not respecting the hierarchy the boys have established, and the grumbling continues.
Now the boys and girls have grown up and they are working together in the same organization. The rules of the playground still apply, and apply to each group uniquely. But we often fail to recognize this.
When John observed Susan, his cultural background told him that she was not acting like the boss. She needed to establish her authority, make the rules and give the orders. He did not realize that Susan was behaving very appropriately for her culture. In dealing with Lisa, Susan had determined that the best approach was the inclusive, nonhierarchical female pattern. Susan could certainly enforce rules when she had to, but she had found that with Lisa, a more social approach yielded higher productivity. With some of her male employees, Susan used a more direct style.
While Lisa responded well to this approach, it is wise to remember that these are general patterns, and not universal traits. Most men and women are a combination of male and female patterns. Our backgrounds, experiences, personality styles, our job demands and environment all help to determine to what degree we exhibit patterns that are typical to our gender. A good manager will look at each employee as an individual and then determine the most productive way to work together.
It is important to realize that neither cultural style is right. As we become aware of differences in behavior, we can begin to adapt our style and help to minimize misunderstandings in the workplace.

A BENEFITS cheat got more than £2,000 he was not entitled to because he was working as a barman in a Burnley pub, the town's magistrates heard.
Thomas Johnson, 22, was caught out after he was seen behind the bar at the Talbot and inquiries proved he had been working there about a year. He admitted he had not declared he was working, and said he had no excuse other than he had been struggling for money.
The court was told he got £2,717.48 he shouldn't have. Johnson was now said to be paying back the money he had taken from the public purse.
Johnson, of Old Hall Street, Burnley, had admitted six allegations of dishonestly failing to notify a change of circumstances - three involving Jobseeker's Allowance from the Department for Work and Pensions, between April and July 2013, November 2012 and January last year and between June and September 2012, and three involving Burnley Council and housing and council tax benefits, two between July 2012 and last January, and one count between April and August 2013.
He was given a community order, with 80 hours unpaid work, and must pay a £60 victim surcharge, and £85 costs.

Despite the revolutionary annoucement yesterday of Radiohead's new album release through their website, it doesn't mean that the band will remain label-less. There's still a big chance 'In Rainbows' will be available in record stores early next year.
As LA Times reports; In the coming weeks, Courtyard Management, which represents the band, will reportedly negotiate with labels about a conventional release for "In Rainbows" that would put it on store shelves in 2008. Sources with the band acknowledge that the major labels may balk at the notion of releasing an album that has been available free for months. Still, previous Radiohead albums collectively sell about 300,000 copies a year, according to Nielsen SoundScan, so "In Rainbows" should still have value at the cash register.
Ateaseweb.com sources say that EMI, the band's record label for Radiohead's previous six albums, are still in negotiation with Radiohead to release the band's seventh album 'In Rainbows'.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/6/2014 (1158 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba's smallest public school will almost certainly close its doors for the final time June 27.
There are no children planning to enrol in Reynolds Community School in Prawda in September, Sunrise School Division superintendent Wayne Leckie said Tuesday.
"Reynolds is down to three or four students. The expectation is we may not have any students next year," Leckie said from Beausejour.
There is a community meeting Monday at 7 p.m. at the school, following which Leckie expects trustees will ask Education Minister James Allum to close the school.
That meeting will primarily look at what can be done to keep a large and valuable building open to forms of community use, Leckie said. "What are the options around the building that may serve the community well?"
While the province imposed a moratorium on closing schools in 2008, it does close schools when the community agrees to do so, usually because parents have moved their kids to larger schools elsewhere.
The province allowed Pine Dock School in Frontier School Division to close when it dropped to three students.
Both Kenton School and Graysville School closed when the handful of remaining parents decided the schools had become too small, and all chose to transfer their kids to larger schools in bigger towns.
Reynolds Community School just north of the Trans-Canada Highway in Prawda had 84 students in the late 1990s.
In recent years, area foster families have helped maintain enrolment.
The school has four classrooms, a gym and a library, as well as a large playing field and green area. It was built to accommodate more than 100 students.
The dwindling enrolment has come about from a combination of empty-nesters, parents opting for the much-larger Whitemouth School, or choosing private schools.
Frontier School Division has also provided a bus to the nearby division boundary for parents to send their kids to Falcon Beach School.

The Dow Jones industrial average crossed 14,000 points for the first time since October 2007, and the TSX opened higher and was close to wiping out Thursday's 109-point loss, as further signs emerged today that global economies were firmly on the recovery path.
In early trading, the S&P/TSX composite index was up 75 points, or 0.6 per cent, at 12,760; the S&P 500 was up 8 points, or 0.5 per cent, at 1,506.
Even shares in Research In Motion Ltd., which have lost almost 20 per cent of their value since the big BlackBerry 10 unveiling on Wednesday, are trading higher this morning, up about 3 per cent.
Commodities were mixed, however, with oil down 83 cents at $96.66 (U.S.) per barrel and gold up $11.70 at $1,673 per ounce.
This morning's U.S. employment report showed 157,000 jobs were created last month. That was just shy of the average forecast by economists, but the data also showed that the economy added about one-third of a million more jobs in 2012 than previously estimated.
In Asia, the Nikkei rose nearly half a percentage point after the yen fell to multi-year lows against the euro and the U.S. dollar, helping to provide a boost to the country's critical export sector.
Shares on the Shanghai stock exchange jumped 1.4 per cent after two separate surveys showed improvement in China's manufacturing sector, helped by a build-up in new orders. China's Purchasing Managers' Index came in at 50.4 for January, signifying expansion but down slightly from 50.6 in December. More upbeat was HSBC's final PMI index reading of 52.3, which rose from the previous month's 51.5 retreat.
Similar purchasing managers' data were released in Europe this morning, which indicated the region's manufacturing sector contracted at the slowest pace in nearly a year. While not overly rosy, the report suggests the economic downturn in Europe may have at least bottomed. Euro zone inflation data were also released this morning, showing an increase of 2 per cent in January from a year ago. Inflation there is now near the European Central Bank's target of close to, but below 2 per cent, and may give the ECB room to cut interest rates again to stimulate the economy.
A number of other U.S. reports provided further evidence the economy is on the mend. U.S construction spending rose 0.9 per cent in December and spending in November was revised upwards to growth of 0.1 per cent from an initial reading showing a drop of 0.3 per cent. The Institute for Supply Management's index rose to 53.1 per cent in January from 50.2 per cent in December, the highest since April and stronger than expected. And consumer sentiment in January rose to 73.8 from 72.9 in December, according to the University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters. That was also a better reading than Wall Street had anticipated.
Here's a look at some stocks moving on news:
Exxon Mobil shares were down 0.4 per after reporting its fourth-quarter profit rose to a five-year high. Per-share profit beat Street estimates by 20 cents.
Reuters reported that Dell Inc. is close to an agreement to sell itself to a consortium led by founder Michael Dell and the private equity group Silver Lake Partners. Dell shares are up 4 per cent.
Ford reported a 22 per cent rise in January auto sales year-over-year, its best since 2006. Shares are up 0.7 per cent.
Mattel Inc. reported fourth-quarter earnings fell 17 per cent because of a litigation charge as sales rose 4.7 per cent. Shares opened up nearly unchanged.
Domtar Corp.'s fourth-quarter profit fell sharply to 54 cents a share from $1.63 a share a year ago on weak pulp and paper prices and higher energy and fibre costs. Shares open down nearly 4 per cent.Report Typo/Error

Public Attitude
Public Attitudes
|By the Project for Excellence in Journalism
What do people think of cable news?
A look at the survey data of public attitudes and public use of the medium reveals signs of declining use, some declining trust, and in some ways less separation between the audiences of the three main cable channels than one might expect.
Overall, the number of people who say they regularly get their news from cable channels decreased in 2006, as it did at all the other news outlets. Just over a third, 34%, described themselves as regular viewers of cable news, a drop of 4 percentage points from 2004.1
What Do They think?
Whether coincidentally or not, people have also become more skeptical of whether they can trust cable news.
Even CNN, which leads all other outlets in credibility, doesn't command the level of trust it did a decade ago. Its credibility ratings have been slipping steadily since 1993 (the channel was launched in 1981). In 1998, 42% of all those surveyed said they "believed all or most" of what they saw on CNN, the primary metric Pew has used to measure credibility. In 2006, the figure was 28%.
Still, CNN remains the most trusted source among those surveyed, just slightly higher than the next most trusted sources — CBS's "60 Minutes" (27%), C-SPAN (25%) and Fox News (25%).
Fox News, on the other hand, has a loyal audience whose belief in what they see on the channel remains unchanged. The number of people who believe all or most of what they see on the channel didn't fall in 2006, making Fox News one of the few media outlets not to have suffered a decline.2
A Reuters/BBC poll released in May 2006, found similar levels of credibility. CNN and Fox were tied when Americans were asked to name their most trusted specific news sources. Both generated a rating of 11% — modest figures, but higher than those of other media outlets.3
Those ratings for the two channels don't reflect, however, the partisan leanings of their viewers. In the Pew Survey responses, Republicans said they believed Fox News more, Democrats CNN.
Over time, however, Democrats have seen both news sources as less credible. In 2006, only about a third of Democrats (32%) gave CNN the highest marks for credibility, down from almost half (48%) just six years earlier. One in five (22%) believed most of what they saw on Fox, down from better than one in four (27%) in 2000.
Republicans, in contrast, have come to trust Fox more in the last six years, while growing more skeptical of CNN. Indeed, in 2006, Republicans were as trusting of Fox (32% believed most of what they heard, up from 26% in 2000) as Democrats were of CNN. And Republicans were just as skeptical of CNN as Democrats were of Fox (just 22% believed most of what the channel said, down from 33% in 2000).
In short, the newest data on public attitudes seem to put in clear relief the idea that Republicans gravitate to Fox and Democrats to CNN. Their impressions of the two channels are almost mirror images of each other.
Who Is Watching Cable News?
Are those reverse images also reflected in the audience profiles of the news channels?
The biennial study on media consumption produced by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press may also be the deepest source for understanding who the cable news viewer is. The survey probes the media habits of more than 3,000 people every two years.
Using its findings, the average news viewer emerges as just that — average. Regular viewers of cable news are neither richer nor better educated nor better informed than regular users of other news outlets.4 The regular cable news viewer can be personified as a married, middle-aged man who has at least 14 years of education. He earns well, with a median income of $62,000, and tends to live in the suburbs. He has a high degree of hard-news consumption, and that links to his moderately high knowledge of current affairs. He is fairly adaptive to technology (more likely than other news consumers to own a PDA, iPod or Tivo). Compared to viewers of other media, the cable news viewer earns more (local and network news viewers have a median income of $45,000) and is also much more adaptive to technology. He is also younger than viewers of network news (who are nearly 53 years of age). The average cable viewer is 47.5, and there are only marginal differences by channel.
How does this reflect in his political leanings? He is more often than not a political independent and describes himself as having a moderate ideology.
Are there any differences between regular viewers of the three cable channels? The biggest difference is political ideology. After that, however, the differences may not be as great as some might imagine.
Using Pew's media consumption survey, we have compiled a profile of the average viewer of different media outlets and sectors.
The average viewer of Fox News identifies himself as conservative in ideology (although he classifies his party affiliation as independent).
The average CNN viewer, in contrast, self-identifies as being a moderate, but also tends to be registered as independent.
The MSNBC viewer tends to be a Democrat, and describes himself as a political moderate.
Fox News viewers are the oldest at 48.7 years, followed by CNN (47.1) and MSNBC (46.5). Of the three, the CNN viewers have the lowest median income, $45,000 a year. In contrast, both MSNBC and Fox News viewers make $62,000.
One other difference between the viewers of the three channels is their news knowledge. In a fairly simple test, regular viewers of CNN were able to answer more current-affairs questions correctly than viewers of Fox News or MSNBC.5 Out of the three questions on current affairs that were asked in the survey, CNN viewers got two correct. The Fox News and MSNBC viewers just got one correct. (The questions asked respondents to name which party had a majority in the House of Representatives, the current U.S. secretary of state, and the president of Russia). That puts CNN viewers on par with viewers of network news, but more knowledgeable than local-news viewers (who got just one question correct).
What does this audience profile portend? One possibility is that the audience is fracturing, with the most liberal audiences heading to MSNBC, a more moderate group at CNN and the more conservative at Fox. But that would probably be an oversimplification. The networks are also dividing by style and even somewhat by topic. MSNBC is moving to make politics a brand, with a large dose of opinion and personality. CNN has moved further away from talk on its main channel, but toward it on Headline News. And Fox is holding steady. And the audience declines across the board suggest that the three channels may be competing for each others' audiences in the months to come.
