Russia: The impact of new Internet regulations on international companies
Recent changes in Russian laws governing the Internet have created new challenges for companies involved in the online media and technology sectors and prompted careful re-evaluation of existing IT infrastructure and data flows. The main focus has been on new requirements regarding local data storage.

Mets outfielder Chris Young designated for assignment
The Mets have designated outfielder Chris Young for assignment, the team announced after Friday night's 5-4 win in Philadelphia.
Young signed a one-year, $7.25 million deal with the Mets in November, but the 30-year-old hit only .205 with eight homers and 28 RBIs in 88 games this season.
New York recalled Matt den Dekker to replace Young on the 25-man roster.
The Mets, who had lost four of five entering Friday, designated Bobby Abreu for assignment on Monday.
Young has 152 career home runs in nine big league seasons — seven with the Diamondbacks, one with the A's and one with the Mets. He was also a 2010 National League All-Star.

Jason Gillespie expects Yorkshire's bowlers to bounce back from their disappointing display against Middlesex when they face champions Durham tomorrow.
Yorkshire were part of LV= County Championship history at Lord's on Wednesday when the hosts chased down 472, the third highest successful run-chase ever in that competition.
Chris Rogers took advantage of an off-colour performance, highlighted by figures of 1-134 from 22 overs for Jack Brooks, to score an unbeaten double century.
But the former Australian fast bowler is confident such a display from an attack regarded by many as the best in the country was just a one-off and that they will be ready to take on the champions in a televised clash at Emirates Durham.
Gillespie has named England duo Jonny Bairstow and Tim Bresnan in a 13-man squad.
Bairstow has missed the season's first three matches having broken a finger in pre-season, while Bresnan has done likewise having been ordered to rest following a busy winter with England.
Bairstow could play as a specialist batsman, with Andrew Hodd retaining the gloves and Jack Leaning missing out.
Gillespie said: "We just didn't get our skills right. We'll get them right next time.
"The bowlers put their hands up. There was no ranting, no raving, just an honest acknowledgement that we didn't get it right.
"Cricket is a simple game. If you bowl a good line and length, you'll get rewarded in time. If you don't, you'll get belted all over the park. That's what happened to us in the second innings."
Yorkshire's defeat ended a 21-match unbeaten streak away from home in the Championship.
That run dates back to a ten-wicket reverse against Somerset at Taunton at the end of May 2011.
Yorkshire kick-started their encouraging Championship campaign last year with a four-wicket win at Durham when they chased down 336 for the loss of six wickets, a pursuit anchored by Joe Root's brilliant 182.
"We're very excited to be facing Durham. They're last year's champions, and we're very excited about playing them," added Gillespie.
"There are no easy games in Division One. We beat Middlesex twice last year, we know how good a side they are, and they showed that in the game we've just finished."
Yorkshire 13-man squad v Durham: Gale c, Bairstow, Bresnan, Brooks, Hodd, Leaning, Lees, Lyth, Patterson, Plunkett, Rashid, Sidebottom, Williamson.

Can anyone give me an idea if this is a "formal club", or can anyone participate or organize a party for their cruise? Sounds like something too fun to miss!

MGMT, Best Coast + More on Deck for Fleetwood Mac Tribute Album
Fleetwood Mac will be the recipients of an impressive tribute album — along with the likes of MGMT, Best Coast, the Kills and more — covering the band's songs. Fans will get to experience the various interpretations of the British-American icons when the collection is released this fall.
Rolling Stone reports that the album, called 'Just Tell Me That You Want Me: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac,' will be released on September 14. Other acts on the disc include the New Pornographers, ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Lykke Li and more. The project is being produced by Randall Poster, who organized the Buddy Holly tribute record 'Rave On.' That collection featured the Black Keys, Fiona Apple, Modest Mouse and Paul McCartney.
As you can see by the track listing below, the songs covered span almost the entire Fleetwood Mac catalog. Eras include the Peter Green-led lineup, their 1977 commercial breakthrough 'Rumours,' the experimental follow-up 'Tusk' and their work in the '80s. Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and Dinosaur Jr.'s J. Masci team up to give their take on the Green instrumental track 'Albatross.' Some of the artists on the tribute are no strangers to covering Fleetwood Mac songs. Listen to Best Coast's rendition of 'Storms' here.
'Just Tell Me That You Want Me: A Tribute to Fleetwood Mac' Track Listing
1. Lee Ranaldo Band (Feat. J Mascis) – 'Albatross'
2. Antony – 'Landslide'
3. Trixie Whitley – 'Before The Beginning'

Other then Lynda.com is there any other website from where we can learn the various sectors of graphics designing in free of cost. Help will be appreciated.
Graphic Design is a sophisticated discipline that has developed over centuries, and the best way to learn it thoroughly is through a course. If you want to learn it for free, then you'll need to scratch around and see what you can find (Lynda.com is not free). There are lots of good books on various aspects of the subject, such as typography, so perhaps head off to your local library and see if that has anything useful. There are websites that provide tips on various aspects, too.
Perhaps read up on all the aspects of graphic design, make a list of all the important skills and find resources on each from wherever you can, such as typography. Good luck.
In Vietnam, the use of the term is quite graphic, by the naming of the term graphic is based on use of its meaning. For example, commercial graphics, drawing stamp graphics, promotional graphics etc ... And graphic design really is still a matter of controversy. Some universities still training standpoint decorative graphics as close to the painting, one of the training centers on the use of graphics software graphics are considered part of the school and some private schools again the notion of the West as a graphic and media sectors.
There are plenty of websites and forums, but as the others have said, it depends on what you are looking to achieve.
I have used these:http://www.good-tutorials.com/http://psd.tutsplus.com/http://abduzeedo.com/reader-tutorial-create-vintage-traveler-diary-photoshophttp://www.photoshop-plus.co.uk/
very usefull website. Thank you

Art prints & frames, handmade in England since 1982
In her original works, New Zealand artist Ellen Giggenbach skilfully uses collage to create her designs. Unusual colour combinations and the placement of simple shapes give her work a folksy, Scandinavian feel that translates beautifully into prints.
We love these prints framed in our simple, hand-finished oak frames.

Tuscora Park In Ohio
Tuscora Park is a must-visit family day-trip in Ohio with kiddee rides, concerts, concessions, and one of the only true carousels left in the world.
Imagine amusement parks of the days of old. Small neighborhood parks with swimming, rides, junk food, and beautiful surroundings, these places are the forefathers of the Cedar Points and Disneylands of the world. Unfortunately, the new parks have killed off their ancestors.
In New Philadelphia, Ohio, just south of Canton on I-77, one of these parks still thrives. For a quarter on weekdays and fifty cents on weekends, visitors can ride any of the rides including a ferris wheel, small roller coaster, swings, train, kiddee rides, and one of the last true carousels left in the world. The swimming complex houses a large pool, diving pool, and wading pool for the little ones. Playgrounds surrounded by picnic tables and large shade trees are everywhere. Feed the ducks and practice your fishing in the pond: they bite easy, but you're not allowed to keep them.
For the sports enthusiasists, there are basketball courts, tennis courts, Class A baseball games, a walking track, hourseshoe pits, and bocce arenas.
If you are travelling on I-77 through Tuscarawas County, then I highly suggest taking a break at Tuscora Park.

In a recent interview with CNN's A.J. Hammer, Jessica Alba explained why she and Cash Warren sold the first photos of Honor to OK! magazine when she was a newborn.
She said, "For our family, we just wanted to control the experience. We put the money that the picture made into a bank account for Honor to do whatever she wants to do with. It's her picture, it's her birth, and we didn't want it to be like a weird thing when we were walking out of the house for the first time."
Introducing Honor their own way reduced the intrusion of the paparazzi.
If there's a price tag on your child — which is so bizarre — people will go to crazy lengths. We wanted to avoid that hysteria."
The subject came about when A.J. asked her what she thought Beyoncé and Jay-Z should do in terms of releasing Blue Ivy's baby pictures.
To that question the actress replied, "To each his own. The biggest thing is having a healthy baby … I'm sure Beyoncé will make the best decision for her family."
Jessica and Cash reportedly received $1.5 million for the OK! photo shoot. Fortunately for the Spy Kids star, it was a pleasant experience.
She revealed, "We were friends with the photographer. It was just a nice day in the house. We'll have those beautiful pictures forever. You can give the money to charity and to your baby and that's it."

After first conclusions for coniferous cord wood and first price negotiations in Northern and Eastern Germany, 2011 prices slightly below the peak of summer 2010 may be expected.
Outside the strongholds of the wood based panel industry in eastern Germany, contacts for the assortment ISF/K are between € 86 and 88 per tonne (atro, free alongside forest road), corresponding to € 43 and 44/m³ or € 27 and 28.50/stacked m³. Depending on the exchange rate fixed cubic meter prices are even less.
Near the sites of the wood and pulp industry ISF/K-prices rise up to € 29/ stacked m³ and ISN-prices (OSB) to € 31/stacked m³. For F/K-wood price wishes of € 30/stacked m³ were postponed into the next year. Often, pellet plants are not able to go these prices. Quantities demanded are less than in the previous year.
In South-Germany there are still no contracts, with exception of the conclusion for Beech pulpwood. In other states like Hesse, Thuringia and Brandenburg, the vision of the forestry side having in mind Beech pulpwood prices between € 72.25 and 73.50 per tonne (atro, free alongside forest road), which corresponds to € 48.50 to 49/m³, was almost reached. Mecklenburg might be the front-runner with a price of € 51/m³. In the light of the prices for weak or low-quality beech logs, this hardwood season many forestry operations might save the necessary effort for keeping sawlogs and might produce more pulp- and fuelwood.

NSW Origin prop Andrew Fifita has played more games this year than any other NRL player - and he knows it.
"Am I feeling a little fatigued? Yeah," the 114kg enforcer tells The Daily Telegraph.
"I've had a lot of footy this year. Haven't missed a game since the All Stars and it is starting taking a toll.
"I've never had to play so much consecutive footy before, especially at such a high level. But, funnily enough, it's also becoming an Origin player that's helped me to deal with the extra toll it brings."
Boasting just one Test appearance with Tonga before the start of this season, Fifita will officially play game 20 on Wednesday night in the blockbuster Origin decider at ANZ Stadium.
The figure, which doesn't include trial matches, is the most of any NRL player, according to Fox Sports Statistics.
Incredibly, the only other player to currently boast 19 games is Wests Tigers forward Ben Murdoch-Masila. Yet while Murdoch-Masila earned one of his appearances in the Tongan Test side that played Samoa in April, another three matches have been in NSW Cup.
So while Fifita, who started his year with the Indigenous All Stars, has been asked to play more first-class footy than any other footballer, he insists his emergence with the Blues also has him ready to handle the increased workload.
In fact, the 24-year-old Sharkie reveals he was only hours into his first Origin camp with NSW when an awkward truth struck him: he wasn't an Origin player at all.
"It happened walking down the corridor of our hotel," Fifita recalls a month later. "Looking into the first room, I saw Jarryd Hayne, who was on the floor stretching.
"A bit further down, I went in to see 'Gal' and he was icing up an injury. Across the hall, Mitchell Pearce was doing the same.
"That's when I thought to myself, 'hang on, I've got a few niggling injuries too. Why am I not doing any of this?' I'd just never thought of being that professional before.
"I guess in club footy you finish a training session and it's 'okay, let's go to the shops'. Or maybe a few of you head off for a walk somewhere. But here, everyone keeps working."
And now, so does Fifita.
"Definitely, things have changed for me," he says. "Apart from watching how these guys prepare, I've also spoken about it a bit with 'Gal' and Luke Lewis. They've just been telling me not to go out in my spare time. To chill, relax, go home and just hang out with the family."
And as for his thoughts on the culmination of hard right hands, wrestling accusations and widespread threats of payback that is Origin III?
"My thoughts? Blues will win," he laughs. "I hear everyone talking up the Billy Slater elbow, the punches ... not here in camp, in the papers ... but, for me, it's over. We lost game two. Now we have a decider. Bring on Wednesday.
"Personally, I try to keep calm and not think about the game. It worked for me in the first two, basically taking no notice of anything until I rock up at the stadium and it's time to go. You know, get my boots on and ready to rumble. That's when it hits me, 'okay, I'm here to play State of Origin'."

After months of trial date postponements and mounds of motions, defendants will face a jury trial Monday in federal court in Orlando.
Suspects in a Volusia County mortgage fraud ring who the FBI says cheated banks out of millions of dollars using bogus mortgage loan applications on at least 70 properties in Central Florida will go to trial Monday.
After months of trial date postponements and mounds of motions filed by attorneys from both sides, defendants James Sotolongo, Ramara Garrett and Stephanie Musselwhite will face a jury trial in federal court in Orlando on several counts of conspiracy to defraud the United States and lying to financial institutions.
Christopher Mencis, a mortgage broker and the fourth member of what the FBI dubbed the Sotolongo Mortgage Fraud Ring, has pleaded guilty. Mencis now lives in North Carolina and is expected to testify for the government, but it's not clear when he'll be sentenced.
The case — under investigation by the FBI for about 3 1/2 years — has been dogged not only by postponements of the trial date, but motions regarding everything from a request to dismiss the federal indictment to suppression of evidence seized by the FBI. There have also been a couple of twists and turns along the way, including a judge rejecting the guilty plea of Sotolongo, who prosecutors call the ringleader, and an out-of-state federal judge — the fourth jurist assigned to the case — taking over the trial.
Federal investigators say members of the ring sought out upscale oceanfront and riverfront houses, mostly in the Ponce Inlet and Wilbur-by-the-Sea area, that were for sale and through fraudulent means, inflated their values and sale prices. They employed a handful of people used as "straw buyers" for the pricey properties, misrepresenting those buyers' incomes and intentions for the houses, according to court documents. Once they obtained the loans, the members of the ring divvied up the money, the FBI said.
FBI investigators say they have no idea where the money went.
The suspects, however, are responsible for paying it back — at least a portion of it, said one Florida tax lawyer.
Attorney Andy Frasheur said the court will use the most recent tax assessment on the properties that were fraudulently obtained, rather than the fair market value to figure out what the banks are owed.
"Defense attorneys will want the judge to apply the fair market value because even though that's a higher (monetary) amount, it would carry a lower sentence," said Frasheur, who has offices in Daytona Beach and Sanford. "Taking the most recent tax assessment value will give a lower (monetary) amount, but carries a longer prison sentence."
Frasheur said the determination on restitution is generally made upon conviction of a defendant. The harm done by the amount lost by the financial institutions also would contribute toward the sentence, as would a defendant's criminal past.
Garrett, 35, a former real estate broker, and Musselwhite, 51, a title agent, have no criminal records. Sotolongo does, and it includes a federal conviction for possession of cocaine and an attempt to distribute cocaine. The 48-year-old could have been sentenced to more than 20 years in prison for the offenses, but because he cooperated with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, he was given five years probation, DEA records show. Sotolongo has other felony violations in his past including robbery and fraud, court records show.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Anne C. Conway — chief judge of the Middle District of Florida — assigned the mortgage fraud trial to U.S. District Judge John Alfred Jarvey of the Southern District of Iowa in Davenport, court records show.
Conway had the case briefly after the second judge assigned to the case — U.S. District Judge Roy B. Dalton Jr. — recused himself when one of the defense attorneys pointed out that Dalton had financial interests in a bank that might be linked to one of the co-conspirators in the ring, Sidney Coton of Deltona. Coton also has pleaded guilty in the case.
There have been several hearings leading up to the trial, as is customary, including an evidentiary hearing where FBI Agent Robert Robichaud testified after Musselwhite contended that the FBI went beyond the scope of a search warrant when they seized certain pieces of evidence from a bus bench advertising company owned by Musselwhite, Sotolongo and Garrett, called Waverly Media LLC. The company was raided by the FBI on Jan. 31, 2013, and agents confiscated computers and countless boxes of files, records show. Musselwhite's attorney filed a motion requesting that certain evidence be suppressed and returned. At the time Dalton denied that motion and several others filed by the defense, including one that accused the U.S. Attorney's Office of negotiating behind the scenes to get a tougher judge assigned to the case.
Dalton also rejected a guilty plea by Sotolongo in February that would have resulted in a sentence with a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Prosecutor Tanya Wilson agreed to the plea deal, but a shocked Dalton called it "too lenient."
Judge Conway then took the case briefly after Dalton's recusal, but quickly assigned it to Jarvey. In a telephone conference with attorneys last week, Jarvey asked whether another plea deal was a possibility. He was told by Sotolongo's attorney John Bergendahl that all plea deals were likely off the table.
Aside from Mencis and Coton, prosecutor Wilson lists 12 other witnesses who may testify. They include bank representatives, as well as P.J. Warner, a real estate agent who worked with Sotolongo and Garrett at the now-defunct Waverly Properties LLC, and Margaret Patchett, a 2010 candidate for the Volusia County Council and founder of Volusia Tax Reform. Reached by phone recently, Patchett said she could not discuss the reason why she is testifying on behalf of the federal government.

NEW YORK (Jul. 26)
The controversy now swirling around Simcha Dinitz has served to highlight the tensions inherent in the hybrid organization he chairs, the Jewish Agency for Israel.
The Jewish Agency is the largest single recipient of American Jewish philanthropy.
It is also the embodiment of political Zionism, the Diaspora community's link to the nation-building enterprises largely undertaken now by the Israeli government.
Depending on one's perspective, Simcha Dinitz is either a Jewish organizational professional, accountable to one set of standards, or an Israeli politician, answerable to a very different set.
The Dinitz affair started with reports last winter that he misused the Jewish Agency's credit cards. Dinitz has admitted making personal purchases on the cards and not repaying $13,793 worth of charges until the bills were brought to his attention in December 1992.
Last week Dinitz was questioned by Israeli police, who are investigating whether any criminal laws were violated.
He has heatedly denied that anything other than an oversight was involved.
Dinitz and his supporters in both Israel and the United States have argued that a man is innocent until proven guilty.
They noted the findings of the Jewish Agency legal adviser that there was no wrongful intent in Dinitz's failing to reimburse the agency for personal expenditures on the agency credit card.
Unless the ongoing police investigation determines that Dinitz has indeed broken the law, there should be no consideration of his leaving the post, these supporters say.
"The Israelis have a policy, that when there's an investigation, whether of a government person or a semi-official individual, the person serves until the investigation is completed and there is some adjudication," said Seymour Reich, president of the American Zionist Movement.
"If the Israeli process permits an individual to serve, then Simcha should not be maligned or dumped on, and the American leaders should respect the Israeli system."
Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri of the Shas party has long been at the center of a growing scandal. But even the prospect of imminent indictment on corruption charges has not led him to resign his post.
But in fact, the Israeli and American systems may not be all that different.
In America, William Sessions refused loud public calls to step down as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the face of charges that he had abused the privileges of his office. He was finally fired by President Clinton.
And in Israel, both Police Minister Moshe Shahal and the Ma'ariv newspaper have called for Dinitz to step down.
But there is a clear difference in how the Jewish Agency, and Simcha Dinitz's position, appear from the Israeli and American perspectives.
In Israel, the Jewish Agency is considered a quasi-governmental body. Its salaries are pegged to those of Cabinet officials, its actions are coordinated with the state, and its leaders come from the ranks of the Israeli political parties in proportion to their strength in the World Zionist Congress.
Dinitz is a former ambassador to Washington and member of Knesset.
But for most Americans Jews, who are collectively expected to contribute more than half of the Jewish Agency's $511 million 1993 budget, the politics is irrelevant.
Their main concern is that their money be spent wisely and prudently.
As far as those directly supervising the transfer of money are concerned, Simcha Dinitz is simply the head of a beneficiary agency.
And the standard in American Jewish life is that if someone in such a position is discovered in a position of impropriety, he leaves — quietly, quickly and with a generous severance package.
"If we had been charging stuff on the company credit card for five years, and suddenly it was discovered we hadn't been paying it off, we'd be gone by the afternoon," said one federation director, expressing a common sentiment.
"There are literally dozens of examples of federation staff, or rabbis, or cantors, who have resigned. And therefore there hasn't been any acknowledgement that there's been a problem," said another professional. "You work out a settlement package, and they're gone."
From this view, innocence is no defense.
The bottom line, said one local federation lay leader, is "we can't afford it. (Dinitz is) clearly guilty of extremely poor judgment, failure to exercise the proper kind of responsibility in overseeing expenditures of the Jewish Agency, and when we're trying to raise money from people on the street, you can't have somebody you lost confidence in at the helm."
Officially, the Jewish Agency's board of governors has named a committee — composed largely of the leaders of the American fund-raising organizations — to monitor the effects of the Dinitz scandal on the fund-raising campaign.
The committee will also examine a report scheduled to be prepared by the end of July by Philadelphia Judge Abraham Gafni, a member of the Jewish Agency Assembly, and to reach a decision by the end of August.
Unofficially, those on the fund-raising side say they have received private assurances that Dinitz will be gone by the end of August.
No matter what one's perspective on the Jewish Agency, however, longtime observers say that Dinitz's fate will ultimately be determined by the vagaries of Israeli politics.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin urged in a statement that Dinitz not be prematurely judged.
The statement, say some observers, underscores the fact that at least so far, the Labor Party has no clear candidate to succeed Dinitz.
Rabin is supporting Dinitz, a Labor Party member, for the sake of the party, "because otherwise Likud would take over" the Jewish Agency, according to one observer.
While the agency bylaws are not clear about succession — and make no provisions for removing the chairman of the Executive — it appears that pending the election of a new chairman, the highest-ranking agency post is that of treasurer.
The treasurer slot is currently filled by a Likudnik, Hanan Ben Yehudah.

- //Yo La Tengo
One of Yo La Tengo's defining characteristics has been its remarkable consistency, whether you're talking about how the trio's warm, rough-hewn aesthetic has become so familiar, or how reliable the quality of its output is. Yet even if you consider the group's last two decades since 1993's breakthrough effort Painful as basically a single, more or less continuous high period, there are still some obvious peaks in Yo La Tengo's deep catalog. And what these standout moments also point out is just how diverse and versatile the threesome of Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan, and James McNew has been, as adept with just an acoustic guitar as they are tangled in a mess of distortion pedals and multiple drum set-ups.
Compiled here are 15 (or so) essential Yo La Tengo songs, which mostly coincide with the band's best, though not exactly. That kind of list would have to include "Deeper into Movies", "From a Motel 6", and "You Can Have It All", as well as make room for the latest entry in the YLT pantheon, "Ohm", which is sure to place high in the pecking order in due time. Instead, for the sake of variety, across albums and styles, what's contained herein tries to cover all the bases to Yo La Tengo, tracing the history of the unlikely last band standing from indie rock's '90s golden era.
(May I Sing with Me, 1992)
Yo La Tengo's most conventional power-pop single, "Upside-Down" from 1992's May I Sing with Me found the band at a crossroads right when alt-rock was at a turning point. As it happened, the catchy "Upside-Down" actually represents the path not taken, since it was after that fork in the road that Yo La Tengo took on the noise pop identity that has been its profile ever since. Still, "Upside-Down" proves that Yo La Tengo wouldn't have gone wrong had it decided to be a straight-up alt-rock band, with the track's just-grungy-enough riffs and head-bobbing boy-girl vocals.
(President Yo La Tengo, 1989, and Fakebook, 1990)
One of Yo La Tengo's first successful stabs at the distortion-laden guitar workouts it would become known for, "Barnaby, Hardly Working" may be almost 25 years old, but feels anything but dated, on par and of a piece with anything from the group's mid-'90s heyday. With the benefit of hindsight, you can look back at "Barnaby", originally off 1989's underappreciated President Yo La Tengo, and pinpoint it as an early moment when Kaplan started figuring out how to shape squalls of chaotic noise into idiosyncratic melodies. It helps, though, when there's a tuneful song structure at its roots, which the acoustic "cover" of "Barnaby" on Fakebook excavates and cleans up into a folk-pop gem.
(I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass, 2006)
What's always distinguished Yo La Tengo from its peer group is its good-natured sense of humor, more droll spoofing than the mean-spirited irony and jaded cynicism that indie smart alecks are most often tagged with. A little tongue-in-cheek, a little self-effacing, the bouncy "Mr. Tough" is as good an example as any of Yo La Tengo's teasing wit. As Kaplan stretches the limits of his straining vocal cords on the piano-man ditty, he's anything but imposing when he throws down the line, "Why don't you meet me on the dancefloor? / When it's time to talk tough". But the song's earworming melody is no joke, nor the sweet sentiment that feels even more endearing and embracing with a little gentle ribbing.
(I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, 1997)
Maybe the best-matched third wheel ever, James McNew isn't just on the outside looking in on Kaplan and Hubley's husband-wife dynamic, rather an integral and fully integrated element of Yo La Tengo. Who knows, McNew might've actually been the secret sauce to Yo La Tengo's success, because the band really took off once he came on board with May I Sing with Me. So McNew's turn in the spotlight with the strummy, jangly "Stockholm Syndrome" on 1997's I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One isn't just a bone thrown to him, but it actually plays a crucial role in maintaining the flow of an almost perfectly sequenced album.
(Popular Songs, 2009)
On "Here to Fall", Yo La Tengo explores classic soul and R&B sounds more fully than elsewhere in its extensive catalog, leading off 2009's Popular Songs by embellishing its trademark sound with heavier textures and a strutting mood. Building its own kind of groove, "Here to Fall" takes advantage of working with famed arranger and former Sun Ra bassist Richard Evans, who created resonant, swaggering string arrangements that enhance the kinda funky motorik moves of the keyboard-driven composition. What rings true about "Here to Fall" is that it's neither a rote exercise in reverence nor an ironically postmodern take on a time-tested genre, but rather something organic where some of Yo La Tengo's deeper, less obvious influences find room to bloom and flourish.

South Park Rally
Review by chargebeam
"Very amusing, but only for true South Park fans"
At first, you may think it's another kart racing game like the Crash or Mario series. Well, it is, but not exactly that... In fact, it's a "party racing game" where every stage consists of various mini-games based on the TV show.
For a South Park game on the PSX, it's very good. The characters are all well done and their vehicles are modeled perfectly to fit them. For example, you have Stan's grandpa on an motorised wheelchair, Jimbo driving a Jeep or Jesus floating on a cloud. The stages totally respect the locations you find in the first seasons of South Park; like Big *** Al's place.
Very hilarious. Very, very hilarious. If you've been laughing out loud by watching the show, you won't notice a difference between the jokes on TV and the jokes on this game. You'll just keep laughing on, like you do watching the show. The music track is also very good since it's inspired by the original cartoon. Also, if you put your game CD inside a CD-player, you can listen to every sound and music track!
This is pretty complex. Once you get hit by some other driver or a school bus, you might start losing your temper because it's very difficult to get control of your car quickly. This might make the non-South Park-fans remove the game from the PSX and bring it back from where they got it. But true fans like myself will keep playing because it's so damn addictive, even if the controls are twisted.
Okay. Just let me remind you that this is NOT a racing game and is ONLY recommended to true fans. This is more of a party game where every element from the show is transformed as funny rallies. Let me just tell you that you need alot of patience to go through this game because you CANNOT SAVE. Nope. Well, yeah... you can. I mean, you can save the characters you've unlocked (cause there's ALOT of characters, that's a big plus!) and the stages too, but you can't save your current course. You'll have to start all the courses all over from the beginning. That's a pain in the behind because the stages are very hard, especially past the Valentine's Day course.
If you're a fan, you'll enjoy playing this game alot. The power-ups are hilarious and inspired by the series (remember the gnomes or Mr. Hanky?), alot of potty humour and sound bites that'll make you remember your favorite episodes. Not a fan? Well, maybe you can give it a try by renting it but I doubt you'll enjoy playing it as much as a fan will. The reason why the score is not any higher is because of the fact that you cannot save your game and the controls are very difficult to learn.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thank you for using JustAnswer. I am researching your issue and will respond shortly.
If she can't be found and/or is unwilling to agree to a divorce, he can still get divorced from her. Indiana has a no fault divorce law, and either spouse can get divorced without the other's consent.
Now the main problem is how easy such a process is. An "uncontested" divorce is simple and something that one can do with very minimal investment, in terms of both time and money. But a contested divorce is more difficult. If she is not going to answer the suit, he'll have to serve her with process, make certain that all her due process rights are protected, etc... And in that instance, he should have an attorney do this. Note that I have no personal stake in this matter, and if it was uncontested / mutual, I would not recommend an attorney. But where one side contests it or throws up blocks to slow it down, that's where an attorney becomes almost necessary.
That being said, you need to contact an attorney in your area that deals with divorce cases. Go to www.lawyers.com or www.legalmatch.com to find an attorney in your area. You should be able to find one that will give you a free initial consultation and better advise you of your rights, any problems with your case, likelihood of success, how courts are treating cases such as yours in your area, and what you should do next.
The divorce process itself will be pretty streamlined, since they have not lived together for 20 years. There won't be any property, real estate, alimony, child support, or custody issues.
But there ARE procedural issues there, which would not be in an uncontested matter. And that's why an attorney is necessary.
They haven't spoken for at least 10 years
Does he know where she lives?
yes he does
(currently, that is)
Then he can still serve her with divorce papers.
No, I mean her specific address.
Yes..we have her address
Does he need her personal information? DOB, marriage date, seperation date?
That's really all that's needed. Now he should certainly see if she'll agree to an uncontested divorce, because that's much easier and cheaper. You can get forms online for that for under $100.
That would help, but it's not absolutely necessary. It should be gathered and included, as it might be required by the specific judge assigned to the case.
Judges vary on how much should be included.
(which is why I say it's not absolutely necessary)
DIY divorce papers we have found at our library. We just didn't know if he could go through it and file on his own or if she will need to agree to the divorce.
She does not have to agree to the divorce unless the forms are for mutual or uncontested. If it's a general complaint for divorce, he can file these without her consen.t
Thats awesome. Thank you for the advice. We had to start some where
Do you know how long we will have to wait to marry after his divorce is final?
Absolutely. If you marry before the divorce is final, that's a "bigamous" marriage and will be void ab initio (void from the beginning). So if you want a legal marriage, you will need to wait until he is finally divorced.
I asked how long we will have to wait after the divorce is final
Sorry, I read the question wrong. Indiana does not have a waiting period. So you can get married the next minute after the judge signs it, although I would get married the next day so that it would be absolutely clear that it was after the judge signed the final divorce order.
Its okay. We are all human. I appreciate the great news. We will get started right away now. And waiting until the next day...absolutely. Thanks again.

ArtsWatch: "MusicBus" Gains Momentum
In recent news ...
MusicBus Legislative Approach Gaining Momentum
On June 25 GRAMMY winner Rosanne Cash was the first witness to testify on behalf of music creators in part two of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet hearing on music licensing. Stressing that music's many businesses only exist because of artists, Cash said, "Copyright law should not discriminate among different types of creative workers in affording them basic rights to compensation for their work." Part one of the hearing was held June 10 and The Recording Academy President/CEO Neil Portnow's MusicBus proposal called for a comprehensive approach through omnibus legislation to simplify music licensing based on fair market compensation. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) has begun working on a draft with colleagues on the committee. "As I noted at the first hearing, our current scheme is so haphazard because, in large part, pieces were developed at different times and often in response to different innovations in the music and technology industries," said Nadler. "Rather than continuing to adjust the system in a piecemeal fashion, we must take a comprehensive approach." The hearing featured eight other witnesses alongside Cash, including representatives from the American Association of Independent Music, ASCAP, National Association of Broadcasters, Pandora, Radio Music License Committee, RIAA, Sirius XM, and SoundExchange. Several lawmakers stressed that time is limited for stakeholders to propose improvements they feel they can live with rather than waiting to see what language ends up in the bill.
Supreme Court Rules For Broadcasters Over Aereo
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against Internet-TV service Aereo on June 25 finding that its dime-sized antenna technology did not give it an exemption from respecting broadcasters' copyright interests in their programming streams. NAB President/CEO Gordon Smith said, "NAB is pleased the Supreme Court has upheld the concept of copyright protection that is enshrined in the Constitution." A lower court ruled that Aereo's rebroadcasts did not constitute a public performance and therefore did not grant a preliminary injunction against the service before trial. The Supreme Court reversed that decision and the case was remanded back to the lower court for reconsideration. From a music industry perspective it is worth revisiting remarks made in May by Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) when she introduced H.R. 4588, the Protecting the Rights of Musicians Act. "When Kenny Rogers' 'The Gambler' is played on Internet radio or satellite radio, Kenny gets paid, but when it is played on AM/FM radio, he doesn't get anything," Blackburn noted. "NAB's radio members won't pay Kenny Rogers for his recording of 'The Gambler,' but they demand to be paid when the TV movie of The Gambler is retransmitted. Fair pay for all creators shouldn't be a gamble."
Anti-Piracy Caucus Changes Name, Reports On Progress
On June 24 the Congressional International Anti-Piracy Caucus held a press event announcing its new name — the International Creativity and Theft-Prevention Caucus — and releasing its 2014 international piracy watch list, which identified China, India, Russia, and Switzerland as worst offenders and applauded Italy and the Philippines for making progress. The caucus also released a letter from major advertising organizations describing their concrete steps to assure corporate clients that digital ad placements do not inadvertently support international content piracy by appearing on rogue websites. Co-chair Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said, "The recognition of an author's ownership in an original creative work is one of our legal system's core principles. If we allow people to take that work without paying for it, artists will no longer have any financial incentive to create new movies, software, video games, books, and music." The caucus' other co-chairs are Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.).
The Recording Academy actively represents the music community on such issues as intellectual property rights, music piracy, archiving and preservation, and censorship concerns. In pursuing its commitment to addressing these and other issues, The Recording Academy undertakes a variety of national initiatives. ArtsWatch is a key part of an agenda aimed at raising public awareness of and support for the rights of artists.

The Logic Of A Time Warp?Maybe I'm really slow. No, I must be. It takes me too long to dissect BS.
The releases this week are that it is my fault he doesn't care and it is my fault he lies to be mean,
++No. 1 quote "What can I do to make you happy? That's all I've ever tried to do was make you happy. So when your not happy, I just get so angry, so upset. That's why I call you _____ , or accuse you of ____, or whatever!"
++No. 2 quote "You know, you brought this on yourself when you said I didn't care about you. You said it so many times, well, that's what you get."
Two months ago when he said both of these, it just became so apparent that when I didn't yell or argue, he continued on to tell me that I make everything complicated. I chuckled. "Not me", I said, "And I can prove it." After waiting for his "How?" I repeated back what I understood he said. "If someone you profess to love says they don't feel you care about them, that is the justification for not caring? If you say you want to make me happy & I complain about something you do or don't do, then that is reason to attack me?"
He then got really mean. I asked him why? What was the purpose? Did he have a goal here?
He threatens to kill himself. "I should just kill myself!" or "I wish I had a gun so I could swallow a bullet as the ultimate **** you!" then, "To get along!" he quietly adds.
"Why do you lie?" I ask
"I don't." he declares.
Then there is the nonsense, me repeating a half dozen recent lies, my favorite - "You don't do ****", is always recent.
"I just say that 'cause I'm mad." or "because you hurt my feelings.". Then the irony that is his cheerful "Good night, I'll see you in the morning." as he goes to 'his' room.
I slough off the fury in my soul & ask "Would you just think about it? Think about why you would say these things, Why? What did you want to happen?"
It doesn't translate well - that 99 times he gets the same knee jerk reaction out of me & this 100th time it is completely different - his intention was to get me upset so that he could continue to the next 'comments': "You're insane." "You're lucky I'm not a violent man" &/or "I can see why your father beat you."** finishing with "This is abuse." But this time was different - it didn't go that far. This time I didn't let go of the starting point losing all sense of intention or sense..
Usually, he says A, I say B - then he claims to have said A because I said B. I call it the time warp.
**& other things i shared with him privately/my secrets/shame.
Wow. Time warp. I get that too. Revisionist historian is what I call it. She's got a lot of guts doing it to me, though. I have a photographic memory.
The not-caring comment though... I recommend examining this one internally. My wife uses that accusation to try to control me because she knows I have a lot of self-worth tied up in how much I care. The other day we were giving some parental guidance, and I made a statement to my daughter designed to show her I relate to her trouble. My wife threw me an eye-dagger and said "this is about her. Not you," a very short battle ensued, I didn't want it so I fled to the kitchen to cool down and get some dishes done. She loudly told my dautger "we could finish the discussion if your father comes back but I guess he DOESN'T CARE."
When she makes that remark it makes me want to just skin myself alive. she's dragging me back into an abusive situation when I'm trying to make a peaceful retreat.
I'm not saying your situation Is the same. I'm just pointing out that this is a very hurtful comment to throw. I recommend not throwing it at him but trying to draw him into a mature discussion about this feeling. I get the sense though your marriage has already passed the point where this is possible. I'm so sorry you are feeling this pain.
does he drink by any chance ? he sounds like a practicing alcoholic
...He does, doesn't he?
Though some people can be this crappy without resorting to substances...they are just super-special...*barf*
That IS abuse-he's abusing you.

http://www.helpguide.org/mental/domestic_violence_abuse_types_signs_causes_effects.htm#emotional

He's not hitting you, but he might as well be.

Also noting he's financially abusive.
OMFG. Just read two articles in that link. I gotta get the hell outta here.
Dysfunctional marriages **** with your head, get you thinking weird ****, get you making uninformed choices.
Here, it appears, all your focus is on Mr Nutso and his various issues and behaviours. About which you can do precisely NOTHING.
None of your focus seems to be on you, your aspirations, your future, indeed whether you future would include him in any way.
Incidently, next time he plays the self harm card, call your local emergency services there and then. He can do the explaining when they turn up. It will stop that bullshit dead in its tracks. And, in the unlikely event that he is being truthful, you'll have done him a favour.
Meantime, it would appear a good idea to focus your attention on YOU.
Tread your own path.
Yeah, narcissists make efforts to appear to be good people. They are all about bright shiny surfaces...
dont tell him, just do it

Apparently there are government agencies tripping over themselves and not cooperating fully among themselves in trying to solve the cause of the fire that resulted in the massive fertilizer explosion in West, Texas.
The Dallas Morning News reported that the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) sent a letter to Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who is chairwoman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, and who will be chairing a committee investigation into the fire and explosion.
In the letter, CSB Board Chairman Rafael Moure-Eraso complained about personnel of the CSB not being allowed access to the site and witnesses, while the Texas state fire marshal's office and U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were like bulls in a china shop destroying evidence using large earth-moving equipment.

If the fad for all things '80s has got you worked up, you'll be as hysterical as a Simon Le Bon groupie over the customised T-shirts at Hanksta in Surry Hills. Hanksta owners David Hank and Steve Stanton have pleaded with friends, colleagues and even customers to scour markets and Salvo stores from as far afield as Adelaide in search of original '80s - and some '90s - T-shirts. The Ts are then given a makeover with new sleeves, a bit of a rip and a new waistband. "We call it panel-van passion," quips Hank. Some, such as this Bon Jovi tour T-shirt (right), are even turned into miniskirts. So if you never really got over Duran Duran and co, you can step back in time to the tune of $60-$80. Or you can ask Hank and Stanton to revamp your own T-shirt for about $40. C'mon, aren't you just itching to get up close and personal with Spandau Ballet again? Hanksta, 346 Crown Street, Surry Hills, 9360 7253.
Return to spender
Here's an intriguing statistic to ponder. In Girls Who Shop, a British fashion "documentary" that was recently shown on the Lifestyle Channel, it was claimed that British women spend 500 a year on clothes they don't wear. That's more than $1200 a year. It seems staggeringly (and completely unrealistically) high but the show insists that the figure can be explained by the fact that women buy clothes for "the buzz" and then return them when reality (ie bankruptcy) bites. We've all fallen victim to flattering mirrors/a desperate need to buy something/a sales assistant's treacly coercion but why would anyone want to continually schlep clothes to and from shops with generous return polices? Talk about boring ... and time-consuming.
Teeny bikini prices
It's not so easy to return a bikini but what does it matter when you can pick up a Zimmermann cossie for under $50? Thousands of Zimmermann swimsuits will be off-loaded at an eight-day sale, including one-off cossies made for Australian Fashion Week, such as this stripy number (above).The sale will include the most popular styles and prints from the past three seasons. Sized from 1 to 4 (which, to you and me, is 8 to 14), all swimmers will be $49. Thursday-Friday 8.30am-6pm; Saturday 10am-4pm; from September 22 to 26, 9am-6pm. Level 2, 2-12 Foveaux Street, Surry Hills, 9282 9275.
Unstressed tresses
A few weeks ago, I extolled the virtues of the GHD straightening iron but lamented that my addiction to two volcanic plates of ceramic isn't exactly great news for my locks. To the rescue comes KMS Flat Out Hot Pressed Spray ($23.40), which claims to create a protective barrier against heat styling, withstanding up to 450C. Four hundred and fifty degrees? That's one hell of a big claim but I will concede that my hair isn't fried and dried, so who knows? I'm more enamoured with KMS's new Play Paste Up ($24.70/200g), which smells absolutely divine and will style your tresses any which way. Straight one day, strategically tousled the next. Stockists: 1300 135 722.
Joy to the world
Two designers to watch. Shona Joy has been kicking around for about three years, having worked as a design assistant for Charlie Brown and freelancing for Marcs. But her newest range shows maturity, finesse and a quirky edge. Joy has a fine arts background, which is apparent in her '50s wallpaper printed tops and dresses that she describes as "housewife on Valium". She's also designed T-shirts that feature "hidden messages" - little scrawls on the inside of the garment about shopping and secret affairs. "The customer probably won't even realise until she gets it home," says the designer. Joy is on a roll, having just been picked up by Fred Segal in Los Angeles. Local stockists include Capital L, Orson & Blake and from St Xavier. For more details, phone: 0414 562 123.
Rhythm and moves
Another, much newer, face is 22-year-old Carl Sciarra, who graduated from the highly regarded Fashion Design Studio at the Sydney Institute of TAFE last year. Sciarra isn't standing behind a bar or waiting any tables - he has thrown his savings into setting up his own menswear label, Wearable Rhythms, and he shows a lot of promise. There are brightly coloured tanks and Ts featuring the label's scribbled logo, but more impressive are the extras on his clothes - the half-attached collar on a shirt; the buttons that change the flow of a garment; the slash detailing. His 31-piece streetwear collection, which includes this denim vest (pictured), doesn't have any buyers yet - he's shopping it around. I'll keep you posted but meanwhile, any buyers wanting to take a punt on a talented up-and-comer can call Sciarra on 0421 026 588.
Eva's turn
Just call Eva Herzigova a model-turned-something else. The Czech bombshell joins the ranks of Elle Macpherson (lingerie), Christy Turlington (yoga gear) and Naomi Campbell (perfume, one novel and other assorted disasters) by switching from supermodel to supersaleswoman. According to Women's Wear Daily, Herzigova has designed 12 swimsuits, matching cover-ups and pants that will cost about $US110 ($167) and will go on sale overseas early next year. Next on the Herzigova hit list? Ballet slippers. And after that? World peace.

Image: Owl head mask from Papua New Guinea
Owl head masks appeared in dance performances representing the birth, life and death of the owl. Traditional rights to wear these masks for performances were probably sold from one village to the next, with the original village retaining performance rights. The masks were used in northern New Ireland from the 1830s to the 1930s.

Rubio heads to Panhandle but don't call it a photo-op
New state Rep. Matt Gaetz is circulating an e-mail inviting Panhandle residents to join him and Marco Rubio at two town hall meetings Thursday to talk about the oil disaster. But lest you get confused that Rubio is seeking some of the media exposure Gov. Charlie Crist is getting -- and most other candidates are trying to grab -- Gaetz says:
"Speaker Rubio's visit is not a photo-op. Lately our community has been fatigued by photo-ops and light on meaningful solutions. Speaker Rubio will be participating in a series of town hall forums and roundtables to get at the core of how the federal government should be responding."
One thing to watch is whether Rubio is asked to address his position on offshore drilling. He says it should continue if done safely, while the formerly pro-drilling Crist says the BP mess is a wake-up call.

Home > Microarray Analysis > miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Arrays
Featuring validated and Tm-normalized LNA™-based capture probes, the miRCURY LNA™ microarrays offer global microRNA expression profiling with unmatched specificity and sensitivity.
Exiqon's microRNA arrays feature Tm-normalized LNA™-enhanced capture probes, designed for excellent specificity and sensitivity even for AT-rich microRNAs. In addition, they offer great reproducibility with 99 % correlation between arrays and a dynamic range greater than 5 orders of magnitude.
We offer a complete solution for microRNA array profiling. Use our miRCURY™ RNA Isolation Kits to prepare total RNA suitable for use with our miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Hi-Power Labeling Kits. Exiqon's microarrays ship complete with buffers and spike-in microRNAs. Protocols are available for Tecan and MAUI hybridization stations as well as for manual hybridization. Furthermore, instructions for use in dual or single color experiments are also provided.
For more information on our miRCURY LNA™ Arrays, click the 'Experimental data' tab above.
MicroRNA profiling is especially challenging due to the short length and variation in GC-content of these sequences. By using LNA™-enhanced capture probes, miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Arrays solve the problem of detecting ALL microRNAs with high uniform affinity, including those that are AT-rich. This results in arrays that are extremely sensitive and specific. Figure 1 explains in more detail how Tm-normalization of the miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Array improves microRNA profiling with a higher binding affinity. Figure 2 explains how the LNA™-enhanced microRNA capture probes display superior sensitivity compared to conventional DNA-based arrays and how this enables true detection of all microRNAs even those low in GC-content.
The high sensitivity of miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Arrays means that reliable results can be obtained from as little as 30 ng of total RNA (Figure 6). Because of the high specificity of the platform, the sample size can be scaled up without compromising the quality of the data. This is especially important when studying microRNAs expressed at low levels.
The miRPlus™ sequences give scientists unique information about microRNAs not available elsewhere.
The first miRPlus™ capture probes appeared on the miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Array in the middle of 2006 and over the years, several hundred of the miRPlus™ probes that have been featured on various versions of the arrays have now been annotated in miRBase. This clearly demonstrates the high quality of our miRPlus™ microRNAs and represents yet another benefit for scientists using our miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Arrays.
The human, mouse and rat microRNA array includes a kit with 52 synthetic spike-in microRNAs that can be detected on the array by specifically designed capture probes. When the spike-in microRNAs are added to the labeling reactions before a dual-color array hybridization, the signals from the spike-in capture probes can be used:
Our qPCR system offers the best available combination of performance and ease-of-use on the microRNA qPCR market and is the ideal solution for validating your microarray results.

Police clashed with rioting tribesmen Saturday in the Sudanese city of Port Sudan, leaving at least 14 people dead and 16 wounded, a government official said. According to AP, a tribal representative claimed 23 people were dead and 100 others were wounded.
Riots involving Beja tribesmen started early Saturday in Port Sudan, Red Sea governor General Hatim al-Wasilah told The Associated Press.
The casualties occurred when police tried to stop widespread looting and vandalism, al-Wasilah said. He said the situation was under control.
Aamir Tahir, a political leader in the Beja tribe, said Sudanese security forces fired on demonstrators.

HOUSTON — Chris Carpenter and the Cardinals completed one of baseball's greatest comebacks, clinching the NL wild card Wednesday night with an 8-0 win over the Astros and a loss by the Braves.
St. Louis got its playoff spot when Atlanta fell to the Phillies 4-3 in 13 innings.
The Cardinals trailed the Braves by 10½ games on Aug. 25 but won 23 of their last 31. They will open the postseason Saturday at NL East champion Philadelphia. In the other NL matchup, Arizona visits Milwaukee.
"We had nothing to lose. We were already out of it," Carpenter said. "People were telling us we were done. We decided to go out and play and not embarrass ourselves and do what we can. We played ourselves back into it."
The Cardinals poured onto the field after Carpenter fielded J.D. Martinez's grounder for the final out. The celebration was brief as the team raced into the clubhouse to watch the Braves game.
"It was exciting, there's no doubt about it," Carpenter said.

Pittsburgh A new study by Carnegie Mellon University's Green Design Institute found that shopping online via Buy.com's e-commerce model reduces environmental impact with 35% less energy consumption and carbon-dioxide emissions than what is produced in the traditional retail-shopping model.
Using data provided by Buy.com, and building on previous Green Design Institute studies, Carnegie Mellon researchers compared the energy use and carbon-dioxide emissions associated with delivering a flash drive from a manufacturer to a home via the traditional retail channel and Buy.com's e-commerce channel.
Considering retail and e-commerce logistic differences, the largest contributors to energy consumption and carbon-dioxide emissions were from customer transport for traditional retail, and packaging and last mile delivery to customer homes for e-commerce. Approximately 65% of total emissions generated by the traditional retail model stemmed from customer transport to and from retail stores.
"This study solidifies that online shopping is another avenue they can embrace to help lower their carbon footprint and energy consumption," said Neel Grover, CEO and president of Buy.com.

Archive: Olympic hopefuls urge young athletes: Milk it for all it's worth
Published 28 September 10
This page has been archived and no longer updated. more info
London 2012 Olympic hopefuls Beth Tweddle, World Champion gymnast and BMX World Champion, Liam Phillips, today urged Britain's young sports enthusiasts to 'Milk it for all it's worth'.
Beth and Liam, whose favourite drink is milk, declared their support of the white stuff in a new campaign that aims to promote the consumption of milk in young people by highlighting the nutritional benefits of milk and being active.
Beth Tweddle said: "I am very passionate about sport and living a healthy lifestyle and want to encourage young people into physical activity. I think that this campaign will achieve exactly that...Milk has maybe been seen as a bit old fashioned by young people in the past but it's a terrific drink for young people, particularly in sports."
The campaign aims to change the attitudes of 12-20 year olds towards milk.
Liam Phillips said: "Milk has always been my favourite drink, I drink it after training and I love it. I think it is a great idea for young people to be educated on its nutritional benefits."
Dr Judith Bryans, Director of The Dairy Council, said: "We are thrilled to have two such aspiring athletes supporting this campaign aimed to engage young people in physical activity in the run up to the Olympics. We hope that Beth and Liam will encourage them to consider milk as a healthy and contemporary drink in every sense."
