Retro Video Game Cartridge Pillow Set
Gamer life
- Cuddly cartridges for fans of 80s gaming
- You get one of each pillow! Two total.
- Great for living rooms or gaming rooms
We never understood those people who have "formal" living rooms. Who wants to be formal in their own house? Certainly not us! We want to hang out in our PJs, eat Cheetos, and play video games. We want to spill popcorn on the floor on purpose so our dogs can eat it. Living rooms are for living!
Video games are a huge part of our lives and have been ever since we got our first console as wee geeks. We'd hug those consoles and cartridges, but they are hard and pointy and hugging hard and pointy things hurts. (Don't ask how we know.) That's when we knew what we needed to do: we created the Retro Video Game Cartridge Pillow Set! These cartridges are cuddly and soft and make perfect throw pillows, nap pillows, or butt pillows for wee geeks who are sitting on the floor starting their love affair with gaming.
Product Specifications
- Set of two throw pillows inspired by retro video game cartridges
- Snuggle up with plush cartridges because plastic ones hurt
- Great for your living room or game room
- Materials: 100% polyester
- Care: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent
- Dimensions: 14" x 12" x 3.5" each

Paris and London lead as destinations for cross-border capital, while the biggest sources include Canada, Singapore and Germany
CHICAGO, LONDON, SINGAPORE, 11th May 2011 - Cross-border direct commercial real estate investment volumes reached US$37 billion in Q1 2011, up 25 percent from a year ago, according to the recent Global Capital Flows report from Jones Lang LaSalle. Inter-regional volumes (capital moving between the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific) rose to US$26 billion, a 70 percent increase over Q1 2010. This emphasises the appetite real estate investors have for acquiring foreign assets and far exceeds the 40 percent gain across the total market (cross border plus domestic investment) in the first quarter.
The most active cross-border purchasers in Q1 were the global funds, Canada, Singapore and Germany. Meanwhile, the Americas region was the largest net beneficiary in terms of inter-regional capital inflows, at US$2.6 billion, followed by EMEA with an inflow of US$2.2 billion. Asia-Pacific experienced a net outflow of US$3.3 billion in the quarter, highlighting the importance of both private and institutional capital coming from that region's high growth economies.
Arthur de Haast, head of the firm's International Capital Group, comments, "Inter-regional volumes are up 70 percent in Q1, with almost US$16 billion in direct commercial real estate acquisitions. Although domestic buyers dominate in the US and Asia Pacific, over one third of all volumes in EMEA are inter-regional reflecting the international appeal of markets like London and Paris."
Of the top 10 city markets in Q1 claiming the highest investment action, five were in in Asia Pacific including Tokyo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul and Shanghai; three in the Americas, New York, Washington DC and Los Angeles; and two in EMEA, London and Manchester. Manchester benefitted from a single large retail transaction, boosting it into the top ten, whilst London remained the global focus for cross border investors from Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
Paul Guest, head of Global Research Capital Markets Research comments: "Looking ahead, Tokyo's market will unavoidably be affected by March's natural disasters. Investors are requesting updated engineering reports and this will delay some acquisitions, though domestic and global investors tell us they are committed to the market medium term. London remains a focus for many cross-border investors, while the re-kindling of activity in the United States will push its markets back up the top 10 over the course of 2011. Do not underestimate the large emerging markets not already in the top 10; watch Bangkok, Beijing, Moscow, São Paulo and Warsaw."
Globally the retail sector's share of total volumes rose in Q1 to nearly a third of all transactions, from a quarter of all transactions in 2010. While the office sector's total share slipped to 45 percent from nearly half of all volumes in 2010.

Notes to editors
Global Capital Flows is a free to air analytical tool, providing a set of data designed to understand how commercial real estate capital is moving around the world. The quarterly report can be found on an interactive website which also acts as a portal for clients to access Jones Lang LaSalle's global capital markets research. Further information can be found at http://www.joneslanglasallesites.com/gcf
1. Intra-regional: Both purchaser and vendor originate from the region where the asset is located. For instance, a US REIT purchasing in Canada, or a German Open Ended Fund selling in the UK.2. Inter-regional: Purchaser, vendor or both originate from outside the region where the asset is located. For instance, a US REIT purchasing in Denmark, or an Australian Pension Fund selling in Canada.3. Cross-border: Refers to any purchaser, vendor or both that originates from outside the country in which the relevant transaction occurs. Categorised into Inter-regional and Intra-regional transactions.4. Domestic: Refers to any investor that originates from within the country in which the relevant transaction occurs. Transactions involving both "domestic" purchaser and seller are referred to as "domestic" activity.5. Entity-level transactions, development projects and multi-family residential investment are excluded from our provisional data and may change.6. Jones Lang LaSalle converts transaction values into USD at the average daily rate for the quarter in which the transaction occurred. In other words, the foreign exchange effect has not been removed.7. Global Funds are funds which raise capital in multiple regions.

This post is in partnership with Worldcrunch, a new global-news site that translates stories of note in foreign languages into English. The article below was originally published in Le Monde.
SANGLI Before Google Earth existed, the slums of Sangli, a city of 550,000 in southwestern India, was acknowledged on government maps by nothing more than some clumsily outlined, empty spaces. But then, from high in the sky, the eye of a satellite saw what no municipal geometer had taken the trouble to show: small islands of huts with dilapidated roofs spread throughout the city.
Thanks to the satellite images available on Google Earth, a full picture of these forgotten slums has emerged. They now have borders; they are mapped; they have an identity. And using these images, Shelter Associates, a Pune-based NGO, has begun rehabilitating the slums. For the first time in their lives, 3,900 families in Sangli are going to be moving into apartments.
"Google Earth's maps are true to reality. They help us reshape and rehabilitate the slums in a way that makes sense within the overall city plan of Sangli," says Pratima Joshi, director of Shelter Associates. The families don't just need a leak-free roof or proper toilets; they need to be relocated to a place nearby so they don't lose their jobs the salary of a domestic worker, a chauffeur or a security guard won't stretch to pay for two bus tickets a day. In Delhi, families who were relocated in comfortable houses in the suburbs returned to the city within a few weeks.
So Shelter Associates teams examine the satellite maps carefully and calculate distances to come up with the best places to relocate families from the slums. Added to the information provided by the maps themselves are precious details gathered by field research teams about each existing family dwelling, such as whether it has electricity and running water and the size of the family living in it and their caste.
In the center of Sangli, the slum where Sanjay Nagar Miraj has long lived was destroyed six months ago so that three-story homes could be built. While waiting for construction work to be completed, slum residents are housed temporarily between two cemeteries one Muslim, one Christian in bamboo and sheet-metal huts with tiny gardens.
Fatima Mate lives in one of the huts with her husband and three children. She doesn't dream of having a beautiful living room; what she wants are toilets and a faucet. "Living in the kind of house rich people live in isn't going to make me rich but at least I won't feel ashamed of saying where I live anymore," she says.
Blind eyes and apathy
Mate and other inhabitants are calling their soon-to-be rehabilitated slum Sunder Nagar (Beautiful Village). Its residents will also be able to live in security, without fear of being chased out by authorities. They will soon be forming an association that will rent the land from the city for 99 years.
Still, there are other residents who are reluctant to leave their slum. Some want to protect their hidden (and illegal) distilleries. Others own huts that they rent out, and local politicians don't want to lose an electoral base.
In cases like this, Shelter Associates staffers, carrying a laptop and a cardboard mock-up of the planned new housing, go door to door to try and get slum dwellers to change their minds. Pulling up Google Earth onscreen, they make the earth turn with a simple movement and zoom in on India, Maharashtra state and finally Sangli. The images show residents that their new house is located near the hospital, a school and a market. The houses were designed with their help. There's a little enclosure on the ground floor where a few goats can be kept. The are no kitchen plans, as women prefer to sit tailor-style on the ground to cook. All the apartments open out onto the same courtyard.
"That way, families who are used to living together won't find themselves feeling isolated," says Shelter Associates' Joshi.
The Indian government has allocated nearly 15 million euros for the rehabilitation and relocation of Sangli's slums. But the local government wasn't happy to see the arrival of the NGO. In early March, the district commissioner skipped the weekly Monday project meeting. The engineer in charge of building and public works in Sangli arrives 90 minutes late. "Everything would be so much simpler if we just relocated them well outside the city," says this functionary in charge of slums.
This kind of apathy and incomprehension from local government officials is as much an obstacle as the reluctance of some inhabitants. Still, thanks to the satellite images, authorities no longer have excuses to delay projects or ignore the presence of the slums.
Could this slum-rehabilitation model be used elsewhere? "It would be possible but more difficult in big cities because of high cost and the rarity of available land," Joshi admits. But her NGO has already mapped a slum in Indonesia and is scheduled to rehabilitate five slums in Pune, India's seventh largest city.

Slight boost for U.S. climate research funding
President Obama's 2015 budget request leaves most research budgets flat lined
Climate science is among the few winners in President Barack Obama's budget request for fiscal year 2015, which generally keeps research funding static. But even the modest increases the administration has proposed for climate research are likely to face strong opposition in coming months from the members of Congress who are resistant to new spending and skeptical of global warming.
The $3.9 trillion budget released on March 4 offered funding agencies like the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health mostly flat budget numbers, while other agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency saw overall cuts (See table).
"The President's FY15 budget does disappointingly little to close the nation's innovation deficit," the Association of American Universities, which advocates for science funding, said in a statement.
Nevertheless, a few agencies would see a modest rise for climate science, in line with the

Coastal Carolina Riverwatch Dragon Boat Races.
Not-too-hot weather and a calm Neuse River brought out hundreds of paddlers and spectators, along with nonprofit groups who also benefited from Saturday�s Coastal Carolina Riverwatch Dragon Boat Races.
The Riverwatch group is an advocate for the Neuse and Trent rivers, streams, creeks and wetlands in Eastern North Carolina.
At the end of the day, only .007 second separated two entries powered by Cherry Point air station Marines for the championship, with Snap Dragon edging out the 28 Longpaddlers.
The winning entry was captained by Sgt. Kevin Miller, who said the motto for their Alpha Company is �Tip of the Spear.� The boat had newspaper flair for sponsorship � former Sun Journal publisher Jon Segal and wife Karen, along with Hunter Bretzius, former Havelock News publisher and current Gaston Gazette editor and husband Jim.
The team name comes from a ship owned by New Bern privateer Otway Burns.
The runner-up 28 Longpaddlers was sponsored by the event�s coordinating company, High Five Dragon Boats.
Third place went to Snap Dynsty, sponsored by Snap Fitness of New Bern and Greenville.
Earlier in the day, Marine Lance Corp. Clark Drew of the Longpaddlers said Marines had an edge in such a competition as the Dragon Boat races because teamwork was such an integral part of their Marine training.
The Longpaddlers are members of the MWC528 Marine communications team. Drew sported a metal Spartan battle helmet, which covered his face and was topped with a plume. The helmet is the symbol for his unit.
High Five Dragon Boat of Brandon, Fla., provided the boats and the technical expertise for the races, which began offshore in front of the new Courtyard by Mariott and finished near the Union Point Park gazebo.
There were 14 teams for the 45-foot light-weight racing boats, adorned with dragon heads and featuring a drummer to provide rhythm for the paddlers.
Larry Baldwin of the Waterkeeper Alliance said the Dragon event fit well into �Swimmable Waters Weekend,� a project by environmental groups which focuses on the nation�s waterways.
The race teams on Saturday ranged from the Waterkeeper Alliance, the military units, businesses teams such as the Dragon Slayers from Trader Construction and community groups who enjoy physically-challenging events.
One local first-time team was Peddle to Paddle, a group described by Captain Rob Tomucin as fitness enthusiasts.
�We are a team of mostly cyclists, tri-athletes and marathon runners,� he said. He credited Heather Noto with the idea behind fielding a team, which includes cyclists from Flythe and Atomic bike shops and TriCentury Cyclists. The team members included two Boston Marathon participants.
He said the team exemplified the community spirit of an event such as the Dragon Boat Races.
�We�re a network of friends that are fitness minded and enjoy doing things outdoors,� he said. �But, none of us have ever done a Dragon Boat race. Heather is also a cyclist and she said a lot of cycling is about synchronicity and that is a theme that works well with paddling.�
The Peddle to Paddle team later proved the hard-luck crew of the day when the wake from a boat swamped their Dragon Boat and scratched them from the second heat of the day. The boat was towed out of the water and it returned to competition.
Later in the day, two other entries � the Chesty Pullers and Dragon Slayers, crossed the finish line and rolled over in the water.
Teams such as the Oriental Dragon Masters have their own club boat at home in Pamlico County and have been practicing regularly. Oriental hosts a Dragon Boat event the second weekend in August.
The Oriental team featured 84-year-old Noel Engel as its motivational on-board drummer. Engel, a career professional drummer, is the founder of the popular weekly Drum Circle event at Lou Mac Park on the Oriental waterfront.
Among the support groups on hand was Flotilla 20-04 of New Bern, which provided two support vessels for race perimeter security.
Groups such as the Military Order of the Purple Heart came to the event to offer information and collect donations. Chapters 642 from Onslow County and Chapter 639 of Carteret County shared a tent. One of the Order�s projects is providing transportation home each Christmas for active military personnel who otherwise would spend the holiday alone. Two years ago, it provided air fare or travel money for 400 military men and women and about 200 more this past Christmas. The Carteret group also has fundraisers and provides scholarships for high school seniors from Carteret to Craven counties.

A lifelong Brandeisian, Robert Shapiro dies at 81
He was a member of the first graduating class, and a longtime trustee
Robert Shapiro '52, who was a member of Brandeis' first graduating class and served as a longtime trustee at this university his father helped establish, died on Friday, Jan. 6, in Chestnut Hill, Mass. He was 81 and had been battling cancer.
The son of founding Trustee Abraham Shapiro, the younger Shapiro grew up with Brandeis – from student to alumnus to reunion organizer to donor to fundraiser to president's councilor to fellow and, finally, to trustee in 1979.
Mr. Shapiro stayed close to the university through the years – both literally and figuratively. He lived just a few miles from Brandeis and, along with his wife, Valya (Kazes) Shapiro '61, frequently visited campus for celebrations, get-togethers with students and faculty, meetings, events, openings, commencements and reunions.
"Bob was a man of unusually generous spirit," Brandeis President Fred Lawrence said. "He and Valya have been great friends to Brandeis for so many years in so many ways. He will be dearly missed."
Mr. Shapiro received an honorary degree from Brandeis in 1992 and was presented the Alumni Association's Service to Association Award in 1984 for his work as chair of the Alumni Annual Fund from 1979-82. He and his wife generously supported a number of initiatives, including construction of the Abraham Shapiro Academic Complex and the Robert and Valya Shapiro Endowment for Sephardic and East European Jewish Studies.
Fittingly, Mr. Shapiro also met his future wife through Brandeis. In 1961, his niece, Bettina Dorn '61, introduced him to Ms. Kazes, a Wien International Scholarship Program student from Turkey. They met on a snowy January night, had their first date in February, and were married in June, six days after her graduation. Brandeis founding President Abram Sachar, a close friend of the Shapiro family, gave away the bride since her parents were unable to attend the wedding.
"Bob understood and was an articulate spokesperson concerning the values for which Brandeis stands," said Malcolm Sherman, P '83, chair of the Brandeis Board of Trustees. "He was a significant contributor to the emotional and intellectual life of the university."
Mr. Shapiro first joined the Board of Trustees in 1979 and was a member of the university's governing board until his death. He served on a number of trustee committees, including academic affairs, development, nominating and governance, students and enrollment, honorary degrees and audit.
Involvement with Brandeis was a family affair for the Shapiros. Mr. Shapiro's seven siblings, all of whom preceded him in death, were connected with the university. His brother Jacob was a trustee, brother George served as a Brandeis fellow and sister Alice was a president's councilor. Mr. Shapiro's wife is a fellow of the university and serves on the board of the Women's and Gender Studies Program.
"I am deeply saddened by Bob's death," said Nancy Winship, P' '10, P '12, senior vice president of institutional advancement. "We worked closely together for 18 years, and I was always struck by Bob's personal warmth and his deep dedication to his two families – the Shapiros and Brandeis. We will all miss him very much."
Mr. Shapiro was president of Turn Key Living, an interior design firm that he founded with his wife. He was also a licensed marriage and family therapist, and served as a chaplain at Hebrew Senior Life. He was a principal with the family real estate business that his father started.
In addition to his support of Brandeis, Mr. Shapiro was a leader in the Boston Jewish and philanthropic communities. He served on the boards of Combined Jewish Philanthropies, Temple Israel of Boston, the Boston Association for the Blind, and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association.
Along with his wife of 50 years, Mr. Shapiro leaves two sons, Bram, and his wife, Jennifer, of Brookline, and Steven and his wife, Kimberly, of Atlanta; and five grandchildren, Isak, Leyla, Sophie, Nola and Robert.
Funeral services will be held at Temple Israel of Boston, 477 Longwood Ave., Boston, on Monday, Jan. 9 at 2 p.m. Burial will follow at Baker Street Cemetery, West Roxbury. Shiva will be at his home on Monday from 5-9 p.m. and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.

Campbeltown Pupils Youth welcomed Oban Saints Youth Under 17s to the new All Weather Pitch today to play their first match under the new banner of the local amateur team and played excellent football against their visitors from North Argyll.
Two goals each from Martin McCallum and Ryan McConnachie and one from Donald McCallum saw the local side run out 5-1 winners against a very good Oban team. The football from both sides was of a very high standard with excellent goals to match.
Pupils Youth would like to thank Oban Saints Youth for making the journey down to Kintyre and look forward to a return tie very soon.
Some photos from today

PJ has sung quite a few Meleagros already, but, apparently, not Händel's from Atalanta. He should! I needed to illustrate this.
The original artwork "Meleagro e il cinghiale" was made by a Roman copiiest around 150 AD from a greek original, and it is property of the Museo Pio-Clementino, Città del Vaticano.
I didn't change so much on the large scale - Maybe I should have changed the hound to something else as well, but then, he looked so happy

Room Size
When choosing your pool table it is important to consider the size of the room or site you wish to place it in.
It is recommended that there is enough room to fully extend your pool cue from the edge of the table to the walls of the room.
The dimensions below are ideal sizes, however if space is a bit tight why not also purchase a "Junior" or half-size cue to help with any tricky tight angles.
Branding & Customising
Liberty Games can also offer a cloth branding service.
As the popularity of the games room and games room equipment increases, often customers wish to either brand their cloths as a form of marketing at corporate events or within a commercial location, or customise their cloth with a logo personal to them for a home games room.

Can Security Be More Than the Topic du Jour?
Security is always a top priority for banks but generally doesn't generate the "buzz factor" of newer topics such as customer engagement or big data. But in recent weeks security has been very much a hot topic -- not just for banks, but also for retailers and telecom firms, among industries that have been subject to high-profile and large-scale breaches. Put these developments within the context of increased public awareness of privacy constraints (and lack thereof) due to the ongoing revelations about National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance of citizens and political leaders, and you have the circumstances for a new round of discussion and debate -- educated and otherwise -- over corporate and governmental security practices.
Just as technology is now pervasive in all aspects of banking, so security concerns are inherent in all types of banking transactions and functions, including payments, data management, account opening, cash management, marketing and core banking. This probably has made it relatively easier for security and IT executives to get funding for firewalls, encryption tools, identity management systems and other solutions geared toward protecting customer and corporate data. But it also probably makes the cultural, political and economic aspects of security management all the more complex and challenging. When something is pervasive we tend to take it for granted. With engagement, simplicity and access the watchwords for customer as well as employee (at all levels) interactions, I would imagine it's becoming harder -- not easier -- to impose procedures and policy on people who "want what they want when they want it."
Another aspect of security that's not new but that's been pushed to the forefront is cooperation. In our global and connected economy, fraudsters and crooks have many ways to communicate and transact with each other. Increasingly crimes such as the Target card breach are not the work of a lone hacker, but rather are the result of a series of deals among a variety of nefarious buyers and sellers. In the meantime, while financial services firms have begun to do a better job of communicating and cooperating with each other to share information about threats and crimes, banks now find themselves at odds with retailers as to who is responsible for the most recent crimes.
[Who's at fault for recent security breaches at major retailers? Banks and Retailers Face Off Over Target Breach and EMV Adoption] Bankers know only too well that security is a moving target -- something that can't be solved, but that can be anticipated, understood and identified. It remains to be seen whether or not the current debate will ultimately improve financial services security capabilities, or if it peter out when the next "hot topic comes along (and in the process make banks even more vulnerable). To that end, this week Bank Systems & Technology will provide a variety of perspectives on the state of security management and steps banks should take to prepare for future attacks.
There probably won't be consensus but there won't be hype, either. What do you think is the biggest challenge banks face in balancing security concerns with customer and employee demands for real-time access and convenience across multiple transaction channels?

MOSCOW — Ukraine's fugitive president turned up in Russia on Thursday and masked gunmen seized government buildings in the Crimean region as tension built over the direction of the country's revolution.
The day's developments left Russia trying to maintain a delicate balance between assuring the West that it would not intervene and members of Ukraine's Russian-speaking minority that it would seek to protect their rights.
5:55 a.m.UPDATE:
Russian marines are blocking a Ukraine coast guard unit in Sevastopol. About 30 gunmen surrounded the unit Friday morning, the UNIAN news agency reported. The coast guard officers identified the gunmen as Russian marines from Brigade 810 of the Black Sea Fleet, the report said. Meanwhile, Russian snipers were deployed on hilltops nearby. Later Friday, Russian Navy Capt. Alexander Tolmachyov arrived and demanded that none of the coast guard officers leave the base. Tolmachyov said his troops were fulfilling the demands of the Crimea regional Security Council to prevent the capture of weapons by extremists, UNIAN reported.
U.S. officials urged restraint. Secretary of State John F. Kerry said he had been reassured by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that Moscow "will respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine." In Brussels, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel cautioned against provocative actions that could spin out of control, creating a conflict no one wants.
Reflecting the sensitivity of the moment, Russia said nothing officially about the whereabouts of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich or the seizure of the buildings in Simferopol, the capital of Crimea in southern Ukraine, by Russian-speaking gunmen. The Russian Foreign Ministry vowed that Moscow "will have a firm and uncompromising response to violations of the rights of compatriots by foreign states," the Itar-Tass news agency said.
Yanukovich issued a statement that was read on Russian state-controlled television and carried by three news agencies with close Kremlin ties in which he proclaimed he still was the legitimate ruler of Ukraine. He said he was in danger from "extremist" elements running Ukraine after a three-month uprising drove him to flee his homeland a week ago.
"I have to ask Russia to ensure my personal safety from extremists," Yanukovich said in the typed statement shown on Russia-24 television. The news agencies — Interfax, Itar-Tass and RIA Novosti — shortly thereafter quoted an unidentified Russian official as saying that Yanukovich's appeal for asylum had been "satisfied on the territory of Russia."
Russia Today television reported that Yanukovich, who is wanted on a Ukrainian Interior Ministry warrant alleging culpability in mass murder for last week's crackdown that killed at least 82 protesters and police officers, would appear at a news conference Friday afternoon in the southern Russian provincial city of Rostov-on-Don, near the Ukrainian border.
It was unclear where Yanukovich was staying. Reports in Western and Russian media variously said he was at a hotel in Rostov-on-Don, at a Kremlin sanatorium near Moscow or at the Russian Black Sea naval base in Sevastopol.
"Everything that is happening now in the [parliament] of Ukraine is illegitimate," Yanukovich said of the interim Ukrainian government voted in by opposition lawmakers Thursday, RIA Novosti reported. "All decisions will quickly show their ineffectiveness and will not be fulfilled."
The tumult that has engulfed Ukraine since late November was triggered when Yanukovich refused to sign an association agreement with the European Union that would have boosted trade ties with the Western bloc and opened a path to eventual membership. Instead, he opted for closer economic ties with Moscow.
In Kiev, the Ukrainian parliament, now dominated by the opposition leaders whose protests led to a EU-brokered agreement to end bloodshed and hold early elections, on Thursday approved a slate of new government ministers.
Former foreign minister, economist and opposition leader Arseny Yatsenyuk was chosen as interim prime minister to guide the unsteady and indebted country to a presidential election May 25 and a new legislative vote in the summer.
Yatsenyuk, 39, said late Wednesday when his nomination was announced that stability would be the government's first priority: With state finances on the brink of collapse, Ukraine needs to assure the international lenders whose help it needs.
He charged that the former government had plundered the country's finances and siphoned off about $70 billion to private offshore accounts since Yanukovich came to power in 2010. During the last three years, Yatsenyuk said, Ukraine's gold and hard currency reserves had plunged to $15 billion from $37 billion.
Ukraine "is on the verge of economic and political collapse, as they want to tear up the country," Yatsenyuk said in a speech to the parliament shortly before the appointment. "And only we are capable of preserving the integrity of the Ukrainian state in the interests of the Ukrainian people."
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday called "immediate and thorough" drills to test his military's combat readiness. Other Russian officials said the move was a routine exercise, but it rattled nerves in Kiev and the West.
Russian fighter jets flew sorties near the Ukrainian border and armored personnel carriers were seen outside Russian bases in Crimea, prompting Ukraine's acting president, Oleksandr Turchynov, to warn Moscow that its troops should stay on bases or their actions "will be considered a military aggression." Turchynov also called the occupation of the Crimean parliament and government buildings in Simferopol "a crime against the government of Ukraine."
Yatsenyuk said Ukrainian police forces had been deployed around the occupied buildings to ensure there was no escalation of tensions that could endanger the population.
The gunmen, clad in camouflage and masks and reportedly armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles and grenade launchers, called themselves "the protectors of the Russian people of Crimea." Russia has a lease on a base for its Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, and the region has many pro-Russia people.
The armed men rejected an offer of talks with the new Kiev government, raised Russian national flags over the two buildings and allowed lawmakers in for a session of the regional parliament, which is dominated by Yanukovich loyalists and pro-Moscow figures. The lawmakers passed a resolution calling for a May 25 referendum on the future status of Crimea, the same date set for Ukraine's presidential vote.
The referendum would be about "expanding the autonomy of the region," according to a statement that offered no specifics. Crimea's government chief had said earlier that any such vote would have no more than "symbolic" significance.
Kerry, in an appearance at the State Department with German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, said the Russian military exercises that began near Ukraine were previously scheduled and were "not related to the Ukraine."
He said U.S. officials were appealing to the leaders of Ukraine's interim government to reduce tension with the pro-Russian east of the country.
Hagel, speaking after a meeting of North Atlantic Treaty Organization defense ministers in Brussels, said, "These are times for cool, wise leadership on Russia's side and everyone's side."
"I expect Russia to be transparent about these activities," he said, "and I urge them not to take any steps that could be misinterpreted, or lead to miscalculation during a very delicate time."
Williams reported from Moscow and Loiko from Kiev. Times staff writers Paul Richter in Washington and David S. Cloud in Brussels contributed to this report.

Hey everyone,
I am Cait, I am 14 y/o from Las Vegas!
I am home schooled. Math is not my favorite subject, I would rather do sociology. My preference for reading material is real life stuff about animals, plants, and bugs. I mod at my parent's forums, and I blog (I'm getting pretty good at it, if you ask me).
I'm starting to really enjoy blogging, now that I am getting much better at doing it. I've been learning all about keywords and how to use them to your advantage, and let's just say, I'm defiantly using them to my advantage. Lolz
I love animals also. I do dog walking, dog sitting, baby sitting, and other odd jobs for neighbors. I believe working for your money is far more importation and means more, then if you just have it giving to you.
My dog, Zed is also blogging, pretty cool, huh? I've not seen too many blogger pups. Sometimes I get jealous, I think he write better then I do.
You could say I'm a very honest person, and slightly sarcastic. It's in my DNA. Haha!
Peace, love and be happy, life's much better that way.

The U.S. Postal Service has stopped processing mail in Tucson, and all outgoing mail from Tucson is being shipped to Phoenix for sorting and distribution.
The Morris K. Udall Post Office on South Cherrybell Stravenue in Tucson now will serve as a shipping point for the mail heading to Phoenix. Post office service to customers coming to the station will continue.
The change in handling outgoing mail is expected to increase delivery time for letters and other mail. It also means there no longer will be an automatic Tucson postmark on mail.
The postal service had announced months ago its intention to end outgoing mail processing in Tucson as a way to save money.
U.S. Rep. Ron Barber issued a statement Monday protesting the end of Tucson mail handling, saying it will have "a disproportionate impact on the people who live and operate businesses in Tucson and Southern Arizona."

Since at least the Neolithic Era, nags, naysayers, and other haters have been admonishing the creative types in their midst against engaging in the most iconically futile task in all of human capacity: re-inventing the wheel. Fortunately for us cloudy-headed dreamers, some automotive-parts manufacturers are doing just that.
First, a quick primer. You may not be aware of this, but on a contemporary car—actually on pretty much any car built after 1903—there is a difference between the "wheel" and the "tire." The wheel is the shiny part in the middle, with the bolts that attach it to the vehicle; the tire, then, is that black rubber thing that runs around the edge.
So what's the big news in the big, round world of wheels? Like elsewhere in the automotive, and human, realm, it's all about losing weight. "Right now the big push in the auto industry is lightweight," says Brett Gass, the engineering director for the custom-wheel manufacturer Carbon Revolution. The reason for the slim-down is twofold: reducing mass makes cars more efficient, and it also makes them faster (and more fun).
These days, a fashionable and practical trick for reducing wheels' weight is the use of carbon fiber. We've told you about this advanced material before. It's a stringy, resin-y, carbon-threaded schmutz that weighs about one-fifth as much as steel, but is just as strong—or stronger. It's been used on cars for decorative trim, for body panels like hoods and roofs, and for structural components, such as the "tub" into which the seats, transmission, and various mechanical parts are bolted. Now, a few manufacturers—including (not surprisingly, given the name) Carbon Revolution—are using carbon fiber for wheels.
Losing a little weight in a car's nether regions has a bigger effect on the performance of your average two-ton vehicle than you might expect. This is because wheels represent a major part of a car's "unsprung mass"—all the stuff that's not held aloft by the springs and suspension. Lightening up here enhances a vehicle's handling—the wheels float better over the road—improves acceleration, and reduces braking distance, since brakes can focus more on slowing or stopping the car, rather than a big, heavy wheel.
Alan Peltier, president of HRE Performance Wheels, another carbon-fiber-wheel manufacturer, puts this in perspective. "For every pound you save in unsprung mass," he claims, "you can multiply that by three to estimate the benefit if you were to take that weight out of the chassis." This may simply be wheel-guy chicanery, but we believe it. Of course, we also believe that exercising our pecs makes our waist look smaller.
Despite its growing creep into consumer products like bicycles, backpacks, and baby buggies, carbon fiber is still extremely expensive. A set of four of these wheels costs about $15,000 to $20,000, and the price escalates rapidly with the addition of custom colors or finishes.
So what can you do if you want to spruce up your ride but don't have five figures to drop on resin-y rims? Well, don't get "carbon-look" wheels; we all know that imitation is the lowest form of style. Instead, you should follow some of the other up-and-coming trends in wheel-ville. Matt Edmonds, vice president of Tire Rack—one of the nation's largest wheel retailers—cued us in to what some of these might be.
First up is color. Wheels have traditionally been some shade of silver, but over the last year or so, the market has sparked to other hues. "We have a couple lines of wheels that come in 10 or 11 colors," Edmonds says. "White, red, orange, green, and a new fuchsia that's actually, believe it or not, super hot. The wheel is a simple style, and the colors really impact the cars and truly personalize them for a lot of people."
In stark contrast, black is also strongly in vogue. "We're not seeing the giant 24-inch chromed-out bling anymore. That's kind of starting to fade," Edmonds adds. "And we've really seen black take over here—I mean, talk about an absolute 180!"
Finally, even with wheels, everything old is new again. "With the resurrection of popular muscle cars like Dodge Challengers and Chargers, Mustangs, and Camaros," Edmonds tells us, "we're seeing new interpretations of wheels that were very popular on those vehicles back in their heyday of the 60s and 70s."
Sadly, this retro fad has yet to extend to one of our favorite wheel styles of the 80s, the gold-mesh rims that were known as basket weaves. "They're actually trying to resurrect that style," Edmonds says, laughing. "We've got them in stock, though I can't say we've sold many of them."
Always proudly on the cutting edge, at Stick Shift we're predicting their full resurgence. But you don't have to trust us; judge for yourself! Click through the slide show below to see examples of the retro-chic basket weave and other fashionable new footwear for your vehicle.

Carly Rae Jepsen Is Adorable on 'Chelsea Lately'
And the fascination over Carly Rae Jepsen continues, thanks to the release of her album 'Kiss.'
The 'Call Me Maybe' singer was on Chelsea Handler's late night talk show 'Chelsea Lately,' and it's pretty obvious that the singer has grown comfortable in her own skin to sit and chat with everyone's favorite b—- of a host. (We love you Chelsea!)
Dressed in a black-and-white tube top dress and grey booties, Jepsen was a shrimp compared to Handler as they hugged during their greeting. We'll attribute that to the sky-high heels Handler was rocking that night. After mentioning that she co-wrote 'Call Me Maybe' with two friends in Canada, and that she and Justin Bieber recorded a duet for her album, the talk show host/comedian made the singer a bit uncomfortable after mentioning she's had sex with a lot of Canadians, which may or may not have included Bieber.
Relax. She was kidding. Maybe.
"My grandmother said, 'Never write a song you don't like because you might have to sing it over and over again,' … and she was right," said Jepsen of having to perform her song numerous (upon numerous) times. But hey, at least she appreciates the covers that her No. 1 hit song have spawned.
And if you're kind of over the whole 'Call Me Maybe' phase, you may wanna check out Jepsen's bonus track off the Japanese release of her album 'Kiss' called 'Melt With You.' Thankfully, it's not a cover of the '80s track of the same name, but it's a cute little number.

RALEIGH � North Carolina's General Assembly is freezing any state work on a new one-stop shop to help people buy affordable health insurance and ordering unspent federal funds returned.
Senate and House lawmakers on Wednesday filed identical bills that also make clear Medicaid coverage for poor residents can't be expanded without their approval. A Senate committee is expected to hold hearings on the legislation Thursday.
The online marketplaces for private health insurance scheduled to open in October under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law are called health benefit exchanges. If North Carolina doesn't create one, the federal government will run it.
But GOP lawmakers now fully in control of the Legislature say it doesn't make sense to participate because Washington regulators will make all the rules.

LCY Styles: Jess LC iPad Cases and Scarves
I was honored when Jess asked me to style the photo shoots for her new look books and flabbergasted when she asked me to model. (You may recall I'm not the most comfortable in front of the camera.) But it helped having my main lady Danielle Moss behind the lens again since she knocked the Glitter Guide shoot out of the park. And when Jess suggested bringing in my friend Liz Schneider of Sequins and Stripes as a second model (whose wardrobe made my job much easier), the whole thing came together perfectly. Nine hours of four Chicago girls running around the city in sequins and sweaters on a sunny Saturday. I can't think of a better way to have spent the day. Tucker and Fiona even made it into a couple shots! I should really get them to some modeling auditions...
Congratulations, Jess, on two new gorgeous collections! That gold iPad case lined with pink is going to be on every woman's wishlist! Now I feel like I have to get an iPad just so I can use one of the beautiful cases.
On another note, my sincerest apologies for disappearing last week. I haven't been that sick in... I don't even know how long. It took four days of tea, soup, and sleep, but I think I've finally recovered. Thanks for hanging in there and being patient with me!
Photography by Danielle Moss for Jess LC

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'يوسف شاهين' tag.
Creativity has indeed lost one of its greatest champions. Youssef Chahine passed away on 27-07-08 in his home in Cairo.
The whole world mourned the death of this great filmmaker. Chahine always managed to move and provoke. Although some of his films are still bannned in the Arab world, they have been appreciated by non Arab audiences as important contributions to cinema.
The reaction to his death in Egypt has been that of genuine sadness at the loss of one of Egypt's most important figures. However, the news coverage by Arab media, and the Egyptian "media" in particular, has been disgusting and disappointing. As the news of his death broke, the Egyptian channel failed to interrupt its ridicuilous vomit inducing makeover show. Instead, we had to endure the usual tedious irrelevence, much like the rest of the Egyptian channel's content, to see if after the pathetic caller's eyeshadow dilemnas are solved we would actually be given more information on his death, or, god forbid, actually watch one of his films! Naturally, nothing happened and stupidity ensued. This said a lot about the state of Egypt, just as he had in all of his films. Chahine was one of my heroes, and i don't have many.

Twisted Tweeter Wants to Kill Christina Applegate's Fiance for Stealing Her Away
A creepy (read: damaged) fan on Twitter has been sending Christina Applegate's fiance death threats for swiping Christina out from under him. Even though they've probably never met.
The tweeter, who's obviously severely disturbed, has convinced himself (we're assuming it's a "him") that he had a romantic chance with Christina and that her betrothed, musician Martyn LeNoble, took her away. Perhaps this person is obsessed with the memory of Applegate's exquisite anchorwoman breasts?
The tweets began arriving on Sept. 20 and started with, "You stole [Christina] away from me. If not for you she would be mine."
Okay, psychotic and a little weird, but not dangerous. Yet.
But then the missives continued with, "I will not accept this. I am going to kill you!!!!!!!!!"
Death by excessive punctuation seems to be the tweeter's chosen path of demise for LeNoble, but the threats got more violent as they continued, with most of them focused on exploding or caving in LeNoble's head.
"Be afraid, be very afraid!!" the tweeter warned. "You think this is a joke? I want to see how funny you think I am when I blow your f**king head off!!!"
Dude. We're sensing some animosity here.
Police went to the Twitter headquarters with a search warrant, but since the offending account has now been deleted, they're having trouble tracking down the deranged fan.
We're not FBI profilers or anything, but we suggest looking for a guy with a well-worn Kelly Bundy T-shirt and a keyboard with a broken exclamation point.

WASHINGTON --– Even if his campaign staff may have considered replacing Joe Biden with Hillary Rodham Clinton on the ticket in 2012, President Obama would have "laughed [the idea] out of the room," a White House spokesman said Friday.
Speculation about Obama dumping his sitting vice president for his then-secretary of State was rampant during the 2012 election, and the president's reelection campaign repeatedly denied the rumors.
A new book from "Game Change" authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, however, reports that senior officials researched the possibility in the early stages of the campaign, before deciding against it.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney dismissed the report, saying that campaigns routinely test a number of possibilities in focus groups and polls, ranging from what the president's top priorities should be to what he should eat for breakfast.
"What I can tell you, without a doubt, is that the president never considered that," Carney said, referring to the report about Biden.
PHOTOS: 2013's memorable political moments
Halperin and Heilemann reported that then-White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley ordered aides to begin investigating the possibility of a Biden-for-Clinton swap in the fall of 2011, when Obama's political situation was seen as precarious.
Daley, in a television interview Friday, called the reporting "an overhype."
"I think one of the jobs of chief of staff is to recommend lots of things out of the box, but not for a moment was there a serious discussion or a belief that Joe Biden should be replaced, period," Daley said on "CBS This Morning." "It was looked at. But it was never seriously looked at in the sense that there was a belief that it ought to be done or needed to be done, and the truth is that any research that was done confirmed the fact that was not an issue voters cared about or thought should be done."
Daley also echoed Carney in saying that anyone who would have presented the idea to Obama in the Oval Office "probably would have been thrown out immediately."
Jim Messina, the manager of Obama's 2012 campaign, tweeted that the "VP-HRC switch never considered by POTUS or anyone who mattered in the campaign."
The vice president's office had no comment on the report. Carney would not say whether Biden was aware of any testing the campaign did about replacing him on the ticket.
In a 2011 Los Angeles Times interview, Biden joked about rumors he might be replaced on the ticket. "I'm unable to figure out how to get off," he said.
Carney, who had served as Biden's top spokesman at the start of the administration, called Biden "an enormous asset" and "an excellent partner" to Obama, both in governing and on the campaign trail. He pointed to Biden's performance in the vice presidential debate against Rep. Paul Ryan as a "key moment," coming as it did so soon after Obama's own poor performance in his first debate against Mitt Romney.
"Joe Biden delivered for the ticket. And the president knew he would," Carney said. "He believes he made the right choice in running mate. He made the right choice in secretary of State. And when it comes to 2012, I think the fact that the president became the first person to win more than 50 percent of the vote consecutively since Ronald Reagan tells you a lot about how effective that ticket was."

Ringo Starr takes photos while wearing a bathrobe.
Popperfoto/Getty Images
During the early days of the Beatles, Ringo Starr often traveled with a camera and took photos of of the group behind the scenes, from rehearsing for their history-making appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show to goofing around on the set of their 1965 movie, Help! In countless Beatles photographs, Starr is seen taking his own pictures, the vast majority of which have never been released. Sadly, Starr tells Rolling Stone that's unlikely to change anytime soon.
"I don't know where they are," he says with a sigh. "I wish I did. There's been several moves and things happen."
Starr hopes they might pop up unexpectedly one day, since it's happened before – about a decade ago, he uncovered a bunch of postcards from his bandmates and published them in the 2004 book, Postcards from the Boys. "I found a box on my shelf and was like, 'What the hell is that?'" Starr recalls. "And it was full of the postcards. At the time we were moving house yet again, and the secretary I had at the time decided to put them all in envelopes and put them in a shoebox. That's how I found out I still had them. So you never know – one day I may find another box with all my photos."
Check back later this week for more from Rolling Stone's new interview with Starr, including his thoughts on releasing the Let It Be movie on DVD, his upcoming summer tour with the All Starr Band and why he's reluctant to perform "Octopus's Garden" live.

(CNN) -- President Barack Obama went on a rhetorical offensive against House Republicans on the third day of the federal government shutdown, telling a crowd in Maryland Thursday that there's only one party at fault and one remedy.
"There are enough Republicans and Democrats in the House of Representatives today that if the speaker of the House, John Boehner, simply let the bill get on the floor for an up or down vote, every congressman could vote their conscience, the shutdown would end today," Obama said in a speech in Rockville, Maryland.
"The only thing that is keeping the government shut down, the only thing preventing people from going back to work, and basic research starting back up, and farmers and small business owners, getting their loans -- the only thing that's preventing all that from happening right now today, in the next five minutes, is that Speaker John Boehner won't even let the bill get a yes or no vote because he doesn't want to anger the extremists in his party."
He urged Congress to "pass a budget that funds our government with no partisan strings attached."
He also called on Republicans to support raising the debt ceiling so that the United States does not default on its debts.
"As reckless as a government shutdown is, an economic shutdown that results from default would be dramatically worse," he said.
Social Security checks and disability benefits would be affected.
"There will be no negotiations over this. The American people are not pawns in some political game. You don't get to demand ransom in exchange for keeping the government running" or keeping the economy running, he said.
"You don't get to demand ransom for doing your most basic job."
Obama was speaking to workers at at M. Luis Construction, in part to highlight impacts of the shutdown on small businesses. Many are suffering in the shutdown because some customers and clients -- idle federal workers or agencies -- aren't doing business with them.
The president said the shutdown is threatening the economic progress that the nation has made since the last recession.
"The worst part is this time, it's not because of a once-in-a-lifetime recession ... it's happening because of a reckless Republican shutdown in Washington," he said.
