Anyone read this awesome manga? A very original manga (in my opinion) done by Oh! Great.
The story is about a boy named Ikki who discovers the giant, competitive world of Air Trek, a sort of futuristic, evolved sport similar to roller blading, only these blades have miniature motors and other such hidden wonders about them. The more Ikki rides, the more he falls in love with the sport and the deeper he falls into the plots of the many factions found in the world of Air Gear, aiming for only one goal: to be the legendary Sky King, lord of the wing road and the greatest storm rider in the world.
As I said before, it's a wonderfully original premise with a great story, dynamic characters and beautiful artwork. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend you do.

Apple-Samsung Judge Says She May Put Patent Case on HoldJoel Rosenblatt and Susan Decker
Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. were asked by a federal judge to agree to freeze their smartphone patent dispute scheduled for trial next year while an appeals court reviews an August verdict in an earlier case.
"I was going to ask if we can stay this case while the other appeal is going on," U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh said during a hearing yesterday in San Jose, California. Any possible resolution of the conflict will be "global" and cover technologies contested in both suits, Koh said. "I don't know if we need two cases on this."
Koh directed attorneys for both sides to file a status report by March 7 indicating whether they consent to putting the later case on hold. A lawyer for Cupertino, California-based Apple, William Lee, said there are no settlement negotiations under way in the litigation.
Both companies continued to present the patents at issue in the newer case, scheduled for trial in March 2014. The lawsuit was filed last year and covers technology in newer smartphones made by both companies, including Samsung's Galaxy S III and Apple's iPhone 5.
The judge last month rejected Apple's request to add additional damages to a $1.05 billion awarded against Samsung in August by a jury that found the Suwon, South Korea-based company infringed six of the iPhone maker's mobile-device patents.
'Deliberate Copying'
Apple is challenging a decision by Koh that allows Samsung to continue selling some products that were found by the jury to infringe Apple patents.
In a Feb. 12 filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, Apple said that Samsung has taken market share based on its "deliberate copying of Apple's innovative iPhone and iPad products" and asked the court to halt the sales. Samsung hasn't filed a response, and an appeal of the August jury verdict hasn't yet been filed with the appeals court.
Separately, both companies are appealing rulings requiring them to reveal financial information they want to keep secret. Apple calls the information its "treasured trade secrets," consisting of data on specific products and market research on its customers. Arguments in those appeals are to be heard March 26 in Washington.
Last year's case is Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., 11-cv-1846; the case scheduled for trial next year is Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co., 12-cv-630; both are in U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Jose).

Hi everyone. As promised, here is the text from Anna's presentation. This makes a great activity for an SOS meeting when you combine it with a chart for your members. Remember that Anna's chart was organized into three columns: evidence of bad work, evidence of good work, and evidence of great work. For an additional resource, we just sent an email out to all the local presidents that participated in our 6.13 -- 6.14.13 training. The email contained Zainab's Powerpoint as an attachment.
Here is the text from Anna's scenerio:
"Mrs. Jones stands at the front of the third grade class as students sit at their desks with a copy of the book. The story is part of a grade level anthology with fascinating details of ocean animals to support their ongoing investigation of the topic. She begins by writing three questions on the board, telling students to look for clues to answer these questions as they read. Students then take turns reading orally as peers follow along. Mrs. Jones stops periodically to ask questions from a teacher's guide and others that rise from her interactions with students or her instincts as an experienced teacher. Some students read orally with expressive ease while others struggled painfully. The wide variations of student engagement are also glaringly obvious. Raul appears frustrated while Tamara peruses several pages ahead. Suzanne is lost in the photographs as Robert plays nervously with his pencil. Mrs. Jones doesn't appear to notice these behaviors from the front of the room. At one point, she draws attention to a compound word in the story, and the students stop to look for other examples to list on the board before they read on. When they finish, she asks them to discuss their learning with a partner and respond in a writing journal. When Todd asks if he can add a picture, she reminds them that writers express ideas in many ways and encourages them to do the same. As they work, she moves to her desk."

Virgin Blue Clarifies Its Special Assistance Policy01/06/2006
Virgin Blue said today it welcomed the input of the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission following widespread confusion regarding the airline's updated Special Assistance Policy.
"Over the past two days, there has been a high level of misinterpretation and this is of great concern to an airline which takes its commitment to special needs passengers very seriously," said Heather Jeffery, General Manager Public Affairs.
She added, "Virgin Blue carries over 85,000 Guests with special assistance needs every year and we work closely with disability organisations to ensure our policies are non-discriminatory."
"We are very concerned at the inference that Virgin Blue has changed its policy to force all wheelchair users to travel with a carer. This is certainly not the case".
"Virgin Blue acknowledges the wording and communication of its enhanced policy may have been confusing and the airline is pleased to have the opportunity to work with HREOC to clarify the position. Where there are still outstanding areas of concern, Virgin Blue will continue to work with HREOC and any other organisations to clarify and resolve these issues."
"It has never been our intent to discriminate or confuse people and we are sorry that this has occurred, our intention has always been to offer enhanced services to all Guests".
Changes Virgin Blue has made today to the wording on its website include:
Virgin Blue has made it clear that not all wheelchair users require a carer to travel on Virgin Blue. Consistent with industry standards and regulatory requirements, Virgin Blue has always had the requirement to have a carer travel with passengers in certain circumstances.
Virgin Blue has made it clear that it will continue to assist wheelchair users through the terminal, on to the aircraft and into their aircraft seat. Virgin Blue has recently purchased more than 60 self propelled and electric wheelchairs to allow for independent travel through the terminal for wheelchair users. For those who require assistance, Virgin Blue staff will continue to assist these Guests to the aircraft. Virgin Blue staff will operate the electric wheelchairs.
Virgin Blue will continue to consult with special interest groups to address any ongoing concerns.
For full details on Virgin Blue's Special Assistance Policy and Independent Travel Criteria, please refer to the Virgin Blue website www.virginblue.com.au.

Skip to comments.Pentagon adjusts plans for more intense attacks on Syria
Posted on 09/07/2013 8:37:24 PM PDT by Innovative
The Pentagon is preparing for a longer bombardment of Syria than it originally had planned, with a heavy barrage of missile strikes followed soon after by more attacks on targets that the opening salvos missed or failed to destroy, officials said.
The planning for intense attacks over a three-day period reflects the growing belief in the White House and the Pentagon that the United States needs more firepower to inflict even minimal damage on Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces, which have been widely dispersed over the last two weeks, the officials said.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Are we on the bring of WWIII?
I think that is a serious concern and quite possible.
Al Qaeda's Air Force
imagine the TV ads
"America's allies in global jihad!"
Yeah....and then women will be out on the streets holding up dead babies and curing America's military. Are they nuts?
Imagine the "collateral damage" far in excess of the chemical warfare casualties.
I think the US might want to take a look at all the warships Russia in bringing in to Syria. And I'm sure they are not there for a Syrian Boat Show.
Once the first missile is fired, the outcome cannot be certain.
Funny that Dennis Kucinich actually said that:
Kucinich: Strike on Syria Makes U.S. "Al-Qaeda Air Force"
In an interview with The Hill, former congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said that should President Obama green-light an air strike in Syria, the U.S. military would become Al Qaeda's air force.
This is a very, very serious matter that has broad implications internationally. And to try to minimize it by saying we're just going to have a 'targeted strike' that's an act of war. It's not anything to be trifled with, Kucinich said, as quoted in The Hill.
Putin made it very clear
Syria: Russia will stand by Assad over any US strikes, warns Putin
President Vladimir Putin gave warning that Russia would stand with Syria if America launches military strikes against the country.
Ending the summit, Mr Putin said that world opinion was firmly against US-led intervention, adding that Russia would take Syria's side. "Will we help Syria? We will," he said. "We are already helping, we send arms."
The Left is seeking a nuclear diversion from the failures of the administration
Putin made it very clear
Syria: Russia will stand by Assad over any US strikes, warns Putin
Your comment here brings to mind TR's famous dictum: "Walk softly carry a big stick."
It would appear that while Putin has taken TR's words to heart, out own twice-elected leader prefers out and out saber rattling.
We deserve what we get for electing this person — and I fear that may be ruin and death for many of us if he gets his way (though I pray this entire Syria "war talk" fizzles SOON).
Exactly. And unlike Obama, Putin ain't bluffing.
"The Left is seeking a nuclear diversion from the failures of the administration"
"Wag the dog" — but it may have severe consequences...
It's not the left this time. They are against this adventure as much as the right is. This war is being sought by Obama and Kerry, and to a lesser extent by the neocon Republicans. No one else wants it.
Can Mr. Obama Avoid Mission Creep?
.."the administration may already be engaging in mission creep by asking the Pentagon to expand the list of potential targets in Syria beyond the 50 or so previously identified. "
But the left would be organizing protests with 100,000 anti-war protestors, if a Republican president would want to get involved, while they are silent to supportive of Obama doing it. Hypocrisy of the left.
Rep. Joe Wilson Says Syria Strike Is A Ploy To Distract From Obamas Scandals
Why was there no call for military response in April? Wilson asked Secretary of State John Kerry during the hearing. Was it delayed to divert attention today from the Benghazi, IRS, NSA scandals; the failure of Obamacare enforcement; the tragedy of the White House-drafted sequestration or the upcoming debt limit vote? Again, why was there no call for military response four months ago when the presidents red line was crossed?
They've spread, settled and become involved in politics all over the world, including here, in the U.S.A.
The problem is that Obama made the US into a paper target, we lost all respect from everyone.
Nobody fears us. As someone said, paraphrased "It's good if they love and fear us, but if we can't be loved, we need to make sure we are feared"
We are the laughing stock of the world and lobbing a few missiles is not only won't change it, but will only reinforce it.
We didn't get involved when the Iranian people rose up against the Iranian radical Islamic tyranny...when we could have turned Iran into a democracy, and defeating radical Islam's main supporters. We had interest in that.
But in Syria there is no US interest.
When I find myself agreeing with Kucinich... Well that's never happened before.
"When I find myself agreeing with Kucinich... Well thats never happened before."
I had the same reaction — I guess this just demonstrates the truth of the saying "Politics makes strange bedfellows"...
That's true. But I think the left here is just too stunned to take immediate action. Make no mistake about it. The activist left is angry with Obama. Not just disappointed, but angry.
If Obama is stupid and arrogant enough to strike Syria, the left will be in the streets. And I'll be joining them. I'll be the one holding the American flag.
Dennis the Menace and Ted Cruz agreeing on something
I have a headache now
Elections have consequences.
someone needs to post this story - it need to go viral so the public will have a heads up and maybe they won't get away with it
"A high level source inside the military has now confirmed to us that Dyess Air Force base is actively moving nuclear warheads to the East Coast of the United States in a secret transfer that has no paper trail."
"Senator Lindsay Graham has warned South Carolinians about the threat of a terrorist nuclear attack on the same day that our exclusive high level military intel revealed to us that nuclear warheads were being shipped to South Carolina from a major Texas airforce base under an off the record black ops transfer."
"bummer made an offhand remark 3-4 years ago that America could survive a nuclear incident - the thought came to my mind that that was an unconscious window into his mind...a perfect way to bring on martial law - and we are shut down - the congress is shut down - food to your store is shut down -
everyone needs to start shouldint loud and clear - burn up the phone lines to your reps and let 'em know 'we KNOW" -
Thanks for the links — one needs to consider the consequences of any action — intended and unintended ones.
>If Obama is stupid and arrogant enough to strike Syria, the left will be in the streets.<
You're dreaming.
The left follows the MSM and the latter will come up with some excuse that Obama's hands were tied and that he had no other recourse but to attack Syria.
You don't seem to understand that the rebels that Obama plans to support and our lefties are on the same side. These are the guys who do not care if a mosque is built where the twin towers once stood and who do not oppose sharia law in this country.
Something that's interesting and odd, is that the largest numbers of people in the U.S. demographic wanting to support the goal of the Iranian-Syrian-Lebanese-Russian axis are living in or around our large cities. They've been duped into believing that Iran will only build a couple of nukes to launch against Israel. Oh, well. They obviously didn't take the Huns very seriously early on, either.
Unfortunately many people are very naïve...
"Elections have consequences."
Sure does. Hopefully the Republicans will actually try to win this next time around.
But there are two kinds of lefties. The first kind are the followers of Saul Alinsky. Obama is in that group. This group is stone cold evil, and would would applaude any chaos that Obama might cause.
But there is a second, and I think larger, group of lefties. These folks consider themselves "progressives" and not "revolutionaries." They believe in unicorns and peace and brotherhood. This is the group that turned on LBJ. And this is the group that will turn on Obama.
Of course, like you said, I might just be dreaming.
This is madness and we must hope and pray that the Congress will thwart these plans. Even if Assad were guilty of the gas attacks, these measures would be totally unwise. To the extent that we cannot really know if the gas attacks are real or who was responsible, that further erodes any possible justification.
Impeachment must follow. This madness has gone too far.
I think this is related to Benghazi. I know this is pretty out there, but I think the weapons we were couriering through Benghazi were chemical weapons.I think that's why they are going through so much trouble to hide all those CIA agents. Just dealing normal weaponsis bad, but not bad enough to justify all the trouble they are going through to cover it up. I think it was chemical weapons and I think it was designed for the rebels to use them and blame Assad and then we, meaning Obama, would run in and save the day. Only problem is he miscalculated because no one else wants to be involved over there.
Now he has to go regardless,lest the world find our chemical weapons there. He has to go for no other reason than to destroy those weapons. That's why we are not waiting on the UN inspectors.
I realize that sounds far fetched, but I don't put anything past those traitors in Washington
I hate to see and say it, but I never thought I would see the day when I would be rooting for Putin hoping that he will teach our socialists a thing or two, who are attempting to use Syria as a diversionary ploy from Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS scandal, EPA and so forth .heaven help this once Great Nation now mired in scandals and corruption.
The more unspoken the issue has become, the more plausible it reads.
IMHO, we fail to grasp a very distinct perspective of the Democrats when dealing with adversity.
We mistakenly assume they intend to control their adversaries by conquering them to change their volition or by eradicating them.
Instead, they perceive their adversaries will always exist. Their solution is not to change their volition, but simply to control them.
They think they are international power mobsters forming a syndicate of organized crime so they don't kill one another.
Hell, I agree with that hideous Alan Grayson!!! MIGRAINE time!
how many is enough?
The same mentally ill agendas of Obozo Liar, Queeg McAinal, Kerry the Faux Vietnam hero, and congressional rats wanting to bomb Syria could apply to 9/11!
Unbelievable isn't it? I feel the exact same way you do. The problem is how much will this affect us at home? This is going to be WWIII I bet.
Putin's statement that he will continue to sell weapons to Syria isn't going to be enough. To have any chance to deter the madman in the White House, Putin has to say and mean that he will defend Syria, and communicate that view widely to Congress and the American people. Maybe even that wouldn't work, but it is the last chance at deterrence before war.
Thanks for the great pictures with the messages!
I am sure Putin explained "the facts of life" to Obama privately — but he may not have been listening, was probably too busy getting prepped to meet with the Russian GLBT group. (He talked with Putin for 20 min, but met with the LGBT group for an hour — shows where his priorities lie)
It's quite possible they're intentionally pushing for this. The reasoning may be that WAR is their only alternative to an ECONOMY and GROWING DEBT that can not be sustained much longer.
I cannot prove this but usually when things move in a direction that defy common sense you can bet there is an ulterior motive afoot.

After 50 years, Malibu has become one of GM's most important models
Those sharp creases in the sheet metal of today's Chevrolet Malibu aren't wrinkles -- even though the midsize sedan is marking its 50th birthday.
Back then, Chevrolet was all about its full-size Impala. But today, in a downsized era, Malibu competes in the hottest car segment.
At the time, the 1964 Malibu was considered one of the first "intermediate" cars on sale in the U.S., General Motors says. It was the next size up from the Chevy II, or Nova, not to mention the ill-fated Corvair.
Chevrolet gives this history:
Generation 1 – 1964-1967
Although originally launched as premium sedan for families, the first Malibu was quickly caught up in the muscle car wars of the 1960s and soon after its introduction, the sporty Malibu SS was born. The Chevelle SS took the lead for Chevrolet's muscle cars in 1966 and the Malibu continued as the premium model, tailored for the growing number of suburban customers who sought roominess yet efficiency for their long commutes everyday.
Generation 2 – 1968-1972
Based on the original intermediate platform, the 1968-72 models' dimensions shifted with a slightly shorter 112-inch wheelbase for coupes and convertibles and a longer, 116-inch wheelbase for sedans and wagons. Like the 1964-67 models, each model year in the second generation had distinctive year-over-year styling differences.
Generation 3 – 1973-1977
The 1973 introduction of the third-generation Malibu brought a new frame that retained the previous 112-/116-inch wheelbases, but to accommodate new federal crash standards, the bodies grew about five inches in length and one inch in width. A European-inspired Laguna model briefly dethroned the Malibu from its perch atop the midsize hierarchy.
Generation 4 – 1978-1983
Chevrolet discontinued the Chevelle line after 1977 and the next generation of downsized midsize cars would stick strictly with the Malibu name from 1978 onward. They were a foot shorter and more than 500 pounds lighter, offering V-6 and V-8 engines. There was even a dedicated police car package.
Generation 5 – 1997-2003
After a five-year run with the fourth generation, the sun set on Malibu from 1984 until 1997, when it was reborn as an all-new, front-wheel-drive sedan, offering four- and six-cylinder engines. It was named Motor Trend Car of the Year for 1997.
Generation 6 – 2004-2007
Malibu moved to GM's award-winning global architecture for 2004, offering greater technology, efficiency and performance – including the return of the Malibu SS, which featured a 240-horsepower 3.9-liter V-6. The Malibu range also included the Malibu Maxx five-door extended sedan, which offered greater cargo room and innovations such as the ability of the rear seat to slide seven inches fore and after and reclining rear seat.
Generation 7 – 2008-2012
Riding on an enhanced, longer version of the architecture introduced on the 2004 Malibu, the seventh-generation models introduced greater levels of refinement, performance and efficiency – along with enhanced safety features, including standard head curtain side air bags. It was voted the 2008 North American Car of the Year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Generation 8 – 2013-2014
Redesigned for 2013, Chevrolet further enhanced Malibu for 2014 with greater efficiency, new connectivity features, comfort enhancements and a new front-end appearance. It offers the segment's first engine with standard stop/start technology and an available 2-liter turbo engine with 259 horsepower that continues a performance legacy established 50 years ago.

Champions League miracle for Canadian flavoured IzmirLODZ, Poland – Canadian national team head coach Glenn Hoag of Gatineau, Que., directed Izmir Arkas to a stunning elimination of Belchatow, Poland men's Champions League volleyball first round playoff action on Wednesday night.
The Izmir squad, based in Turkey, also includes national team players Justin Duff of Winnipeg (number-six in photo), Adam Simac of Ottawa and Gord Perrin of Creston, B.C., who combined for 28 points in the nearly three-hour match played before 12,000 fans at the Atlas Arena.
Belchatow had won last week's opening match in Izmir in four sets but on Wednesday the Turkish squad rebounded with a thrilling 25-14, 21-25, 25-22, 18-25, 20-18 win. This forced a golden set to decide which team advanced to the final six. Izmir took the ultimate set 15-12.
In the fifth set, Belchatow held an 8-4 lead then later squandered match point three times.
Perrin was Izmir's second best scorer with 12 points, Duff added nine including three on blocks and Simac seven.
Izmir advances to the final six with a two-match series versus Kedzierzyn-Kozle, which is also in Poland.
Canadian national team veteran Dan Lewis of Oakville, Ont., saw his Champions League season end as ACH Bled from Slovenia lost both its matches to Cuneo, Italy.

We LOVE denim and we LOVE art, so when we heard about the collaboration of Levi's and MOCA, we were instantly smitten. This Saturday, Levi's classic denim trucker jacket is getting released with a twist—patriotic artwork done personally by famed graffiti artist Shepard Fairey. When asked his thoughts on why the collab focuses on the trucker jacket, Fairey points out how it "is a significant piece in that it's one of the few fashion icons that has managed to mean something important to almost every demographic and ideology of youth culture movement since it was first introduced."
Be sure to not miss out on this perfect opportunity to show the world your love for both the great ol' USA and the world of street art. Be part of the lucky few and grab one of the50 limited edition jackets that will be available via mocastore.org on July 2.

Although mammalian cells are preferred for producing functional mammalian proteins with appropriate post-translational modifications, purification of recombinant proteins is typically hampered by low expression levels. We have addressed this by creating a new method configured for mammalian cell culture, providing both rapid detection and efficient purification of mammalian proteins from their native environment. This approach is based on protein fusion tag (HaloTag®) and a series of ligands that form a highly specific and covalent bond with the HaloTag® protein. Ligands carrying a variety of functional groups, such as fluorescent molecules or surfaces, enable protein detection or covalent protein immobilization, respectively.

Why can't we have a never ending sentence that we keep adding comments too? It would be funny.
I love it!! I'll start the sentence. . .

After temporarily halting the Sterling Ranch development once already, the Chatfield Community Association has filed yet another legal challenge against the development's approval, asking the district court in Douglas County to once again review the county commissioners' July decision to approve the development.
The homeowners' group — filing the appeal under Rule 106, which allows for groups to appeal a governing body's ruling on a development — has stated that the county commissioners demonstrated an "abuse of discretion" and "acted outside their jurisdiction and authority" by approving the development on July 10.
The suit, similar to the 2011 challenge, argues that Sterling Ranch still does not have an adequate water supply to move forward with its development and also states that the commissioners acted on an application that was not pending, but closed, when they approved it earlier this summer.
According to County Attorney Lance Ingalls, there is a difference in how the Chatfield group read Judge Paul King's order and how the county interpreted it.
"Judge King said specifically that it was within the discretion of the county what to do next," Ingalls said. "The county feels it has been in compliance all along."
After King determined in 2012 that the development had not demonstrated an adequate water supply in its 2011 application, the county commissioners lobbied the state legislature to pass SB-258, which clarified what they believed to be true already that a developer doesn't have to show water adequacy for an entire development up front, but that the developer can demonstrate it in phases throughout the process.
This irked the Chatfield group, which stated in its recent filing that the commissioners, by "engaging a paid lobbyist to enact legislative changes intended to aid the applicant," have acted in a biased manner.
"We pursued those changes because at the end of the day we have many applications in addition to Sterling Ranch and we simply need to know what our legal requirements are for making these determinations," Ingalls said. "We did not do so at the request of Sterling Ranch and we stand by the clarifications we got.
"It is mandatory that a local government determines an adequate water supply before the build-out of a project, but local governments have the discretion as to when to make that determination."
And while the county still has not ruled whether Sterling Ranch has an adequate water supply to proceed with the first phase of its development, that application is expected to be filed soon when Sterling Ranch submits its sketch plan to the county.
The sketch plan, which will be followed by a preliminary plat filing and a final plat filing, is the first of three hoops Sterling Ranch needs to jump through before breaking ground, something the developer hopes to do later this year.
"I don't see there being any legitimacy to the complaint," said Sterling Ranch attorney Wayne Foreman. "It challenges a process that was exhausted."
Attempts to reach Chatfield attorney James Kreutz and homeowner's association vice president Dennis Larratt were unsuccessful at press time.

Love it!
"First time buying shoes here. Wasn't sure about quality so I try with this ones, not very cheap, not very expensive... They arrive (free shipping) in 3 days, in perfect conditions... I am in love! I used to work in a shoe shop for years, so I know about shoes, and this ones are really nice. Just a little bit narrow for my wide feet, but with time, I know this material is gonna fit perfect!"

Very cute bootie
"I ordered the Dolce Vita Jessee Bootie and received them in less than a full week. I got the black suede in a size 7 (I am ALWAYS a size 7 unless it's an unknown brand that runs too big or too small). Like a real goof I tried them on right out of the box and thought, "Oh darn! These are too small and WAY too uncomfortable!" until I realized I had left the plastic shaper in the front of the bootie. DUH! Ha Ha ha ha ha!! After trying them on a 2nd time I found they are very comfy and look extremely cute! I don't use the word LOVE to describe "things" - but I do like the way they look and hope I can get a lot of wear out of them over the remainder of Summer well into Fall. They fit very well (after plastic piece was out of there!) and altho I don't wear heels very often I am hoping these will be comfy while wearing them and walking around for shopping or a night on the town. Whatever I want to do wearing them I want to be comfy and not swearing and cussing over any pain they may cause me. I plan on wearing in the house for several days before I make my final decision as to whether or not I keep them. I like them, they seem to be comfy and they are definitely cute as heck. Hope this helps anyone looking to purchase these. They are accurate in size and look exactly as pictured. I will repost when I wear them for a few days on carpet. I am pleased with this purchase (so far!) Good luck!"

comfortable and cute
"These are pretty comfortable. You may find that the ankle gets a little chaffed on the first day wearing them (typical for many types of shoes). After that they are fine. The heel isn't too high (I have a standing desk at work/ stand all day)...totally fine for walking around in. They look good with pants or a skirt/ dress, but with their style and where they cut off on the ankle, they probably won't go w/ super feminine dresses. Would definitely recommend."

the perfect bootie!
"These booties were just the thing I was looking for! Perfect to wear with jeans or dresses. I thought they would be super casual but you can actually dress them up pretty well too! I spent a whole day walking around town in them and experienced minimal discomfort . Next time I know I'll be walking around a lot I'll probably wear those half socks to make them comfier"

Day 1 — Ushuaia, Argentina
This quaint city at the southernmost tip of South America is your gateway to Antarctica. The city itself provides a wide range of jewelry shops, cafés, gear shops and restaurants to explore before your voyage. Outside the city, snow-capped mountains and hiking in Tierra del Fuego National Park offer ample adventure activities if you enjoy exploring nature.
Day 2 — Embarkation Day
You will embark in the afternoon, with a journey through the picturesque Beagle Channel. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled and be out on deck, as the channel is home to a wide variety of wildlife including seabirds and seals. Rainbows are common here too, creating a great photographic opportunity to kick off the start to your Antarctic adventure.
Days 3 and 4 — Crossing the Drake Passage
Legendary for its high winds and rolling seas, you may get lucky and have surprisingly calm seas. Spend your time in the lounge or chatting with your fellow travelers. As you develop your sea legs during the crossing, our Expedition Team will begin their series of presentations to help prepare you for your upcoming Zodiac and land excursions. You officially enter Antarctica when your ship crosses the Antarctic Convergence, a biological boundary that fluctuates around 60° south.
Days 5 to 8 — Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands
Icebergs are the first attractions that welcome you to Antarctica. Massive floating bergs become more common as you get closer to land and you catch your first glimpse of the Peninsula, with its grand snow-covered mountains. In addition to spotting icebergs, you'll likely spot Adélie penguins chilling out on ice floes and minke or humpback whales feeding and swimming in the frigid waters.
As soon as possible, the Zodiacs will be readied for your first landing in the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula. Experiencing this immense wilderness up close for the first time can be a numbing experience. The silence is great, the vastness is even greater. Thankfully the noisy locals – penguins and seals – are there to remind you that this wonderful landscape isn't just a dream.
Your Expedition Team will monitor the ice and weather conditions to determine which landing sites can be visited. With many sites to choose from, each expedition presents new opportunities for exploring the white continent by Zodiac and land. Swimming in Antarctica is perhaps the most adventurous option to tempt you, by taking a Polar Plunge in the water at Neko Harbour!
A typical day in this wildlife wonderland will be spent listening to calving glaciers at Petermann Island, watching penguins waddle around a beach, or taking a hike atop a hill for a panoramic view of Port Lockroy. Whatever you prefer, the photographic opportunities are endless
Day 9 — Disembarkation and Fly to Punta Arenas
As the ship turns north, you'll say goodbye to the penguins, as well as many of your shipmates. With only the Drake Passage ahead, you'll disembark and enjoy a bit of time on King George Island before flying off to Punta Arenas, Chile. Once you're in Punta Arenas, we'll transfer you from the airport to your hotel, where you're free to explore and enjoy a final dinner out.
Day 10 — Depart for Home
Depart for home.
Important reminder: Embracing the unexpected is part of the legacy – and excitement – of expedition travel. There are no guarantees that we can achieve everything we set out to accomplish. A measure of flexibility is something all of us must bring to a voyage. There are nearly 200 recognized sites in the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetlands and the places mentioned above may be changed to others equally as interesting.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
In region play last week, Monticello defeated both Green River High School teams. The Lady Pirates lost 46-29 and then the boys lost 75-47. On Saturday of last week, Green River played Navajo Mountain and returned to winning with a 68-33 victory. The Lady Pirates now lead the region race with a 5-1 record and have secured at least second place in region play and probably at least a tie for the region crown.
Brandi Webster, the second leading scorer in 1-A basketball with 20.56 scoring average, led the team in the two games. Brandi had 15 points against Monticello and 18 points against Navajo Mountain. In addition, Brandi is the second leading rebounder in the state of Utah with a 10.25 average per game.
Monticello took the first quarter lead at 10-6, won the second period 6-4 and then put the game away in the third quarter as they outscored Green River 17-2 in the period to lead 33-12. Also scoring in the game were Crosby Hatt with 6 points and Leah Swalberg and Jill Vetere with 4 points each.
In the Saturday night game, Green River won every quarter to get back on the winning path. The Pirates won the first period 14-4, the second period 14-11, the third period 17-12 and the final quarter 18-6.
Nine different Pirates scored in the game. After Webster, Leah Swalberg scored 12 points, Sara Swalberg scored 9 points, Crosby Hatt scored 7 points, Jill Vetere and Bailie Packer each scored 6 points, Tracy Engleman and Cady Mecham each scored 4 points and Brittney Bastian scored 2 points.
For the season, Leah Swalberg and Crosby Hatt lead the team in assists with 1.92 per game. They also lead in steals with 2.08 steals per game. Leah averages 7.38 points per game, Crosby 6.62 points per game and Jill averages 5.25 points per game.
In the boy's loss to Monticello, Green River trailed 18-7 after the first quarter, 37-15 at the half and 58-30 after three periods before both teams scored 17 points in the final quarter.
Kayden Mecham and Tyson Johnson led the team with 12 points each. Brennan Bigelow and Luis Mendoza each scored 8 points in the game and Jason Johnson scored 7 points. Mendoza hit a pair of 3-pointers for the Pirates.
Both teams travel to Altamont this Thursday to play a non-region contest and then both return home Saturday night to host Monument Valley.

Whether you're road-testing a new product or announcing an impromptu special to move some inventory that isn't selling well, outdoor digital signage can help a hospitality business catch the eyes of passersby and draw in more revenue.
Bright, vivid colors and videos are now real possibilities, a far cry from the digital signs of yesteryear, when single-color displays showing the time and temperature were state-of-the-art. Durable digital signage can show off your new specials and sales, test responses to new products, or alert people to important changes in the few minutes it takes you to type in a message and add some pre-designed art.
"A changing message sign is much more dynamic than a manual reader board or banners. You can change it on the fly, and you don't have to go out in inclement weather and change it like a message board," says Maureen Sanner, marketing director for sign manufacturer Watchfire. "People are used to watching television and videos these days, so moving messages catch people's eyes more than a static message does."
Are You Ready to Sign On?
1. Viewing distance and time
Before you start picking sign sizes, consider where the majority of your audience will be when it reads your message. A 1-inch character is viewable from about 50 feet away – therefore, someone standing 400 feet away from your sign would need the letters to be at least 8 inches tall to read them. Also consider the local traffic patterns; a driver going 45 mph past your business has less time to read your message than a pedestrian on the sidewalk. The typical person needs 3-4 seconds to read 6-8 groupings of text and/or graphics. For example, the phrase "Volunteers needed. Call 555-1212" has four groupings of text.
2. Text vs. graphics
You may not need bright, vivid graphics and animation on your sign if all you're showing is stock prices, community
announcements, or the time and temperature. To display basic graphics adequately, you'll need your LED display to be at least 16-32 pixels tall.
3. Message content
How much content will you display at once? Don't try to cram it all into one screen – LED signs allow you to display multiple messages by cycling through them at a delayed interval that you choose. Think about how many lines of text and number of characters per line you want – a good guideline is at least 2 lines of text and 12 characters per line. If you go with a full-matrix display that can show graphics and animation, also consider the resolution, which is defined by the pitch (the distance between 2 pixels) and the number of pixels in your display. Usually, a larger number of pixels indicates a higher resolution.
4. Physical size
After you've resolved the above issues, it's time to choose the size of your sign. Many manufacturers offer similar sizes, and some can customize a digital sign to retrofit a space formerly occupied by a static message board.
Applications for the easily updatable signs are limited only by what you take the time to post. Popular uses include:
Use your sign for an extra advertising boost for a product or service that's not selling well, or test the sign by advertising something you don't mention in your print ads. A small boost in foot traffic can cover the amortized daily cost of the sign itself, which can run from $14,000-$60,000 depending on its size and complexity, according to Furney Pretty, regional sales manager for sign manufacturer Grandwell.
A two-year payback on the sign is easily achievable if it brings in a small amount of additional business, Sanner adds. A $14,000 sign requires an average of $38 a day for one year or $19 a day for two years to recoup the initial cost.
"With hospitality, it's easy to say 'What's your average sale?'" Sanner says. "With a fast food restaurant, it may be $8 to $10. How many more of those in a day would you have to sell to justify the cost of the message center? If a full color sign is only going to cost you $10 to $20 a day, that's only two more meals a day."
Pick a Sign that Rises Above the Competition
The potential benefits are clear, but choosing the best sign isn't as clearly defined. Not every business needs a huge billboard, and not everyone can make do with a small digital sign in the window. Before you buy, answer a few essential questions to determine what kind of sign you need:
Weatherproofing is extremely important, Pretty adds. Make sure your outdoor sign is built with the elements in mind – trying to cut material costs may end up coming back to bite you in the long run. Likewise, ensure you're comfortable with the software you'll use to update the sign. Unless you only use pre-programmed messages, you'll be the one typing in the text and arranging the pictures, so make that job as easy as possible.
Picking a sign company you're comfortable with is also vital. The cheapest company may not necessarily be the best. "We're dealing with electronics," Pretty says. "It's not that we build them to fail, but eventually a component may fail, and you're going to have to call that company back."
Work Out the Kinks
You've read a stack of whitepapers, you've crunched the numbers, and you've obtained the go-ahead for your new digital signage. Now it's time for the actual installation.
Before you spend the money, check your city's zoning regulations to see if there are any restrictions on the type of content you can display or how often you can change messages. Regulations on signs, or "electronic message centers," vary as widely as the content on the signs themselves. A brief look at four U.S. cities reveals the wide spectrum of attitudes toward electronic signage.
Campbell, CA: Allows digital signage for churches, theaters, and places of entertainment with at least 200 fixed seats. Size of 1 square foot per linear foot of business frontage, up to a maximum of 50 square feet. Maximum height of 14 feet.
Connellsville, PA: Prohibits blinking, flashing, or animated signs if they resemble traffic safety or municipal vehicle warning signs from a distance. Regulates size and location of business and announcement signs, but doesn't differentiate between digital and non-digital versions. Allows illumination of any sign as long as the source of light is not visible, the illumination reflects away from the adjoining premises, and the sign and light source can't cause confusion or conflict with traffic signs.
McMinnville, OR: Specifically prohibits videos and "flashing signs," but does allow for electronic changeable copy signs. The changeable copy portion of the sign cannot be higher than 12 feet above grade and can't exceed 24 square feet; its area will be calculated at a rate twice that of other signs. Must be permanently mounted.
Seattle: Prohibits "flashing signs." Permits video display, as long as the sign is on-premises, located in the appropriate zone, and meets sizing and visibility standards. Requires 20 seconds of either a still image or a blank screen after every video message. Limits night-time brightness.
If you're retrofitting, chances are the digital sign's future home already has electric service running to it. That will save you some time, Sanner says: "The pre-installation work is as time-consuming, if not more so, than actually installing the sign." Your new sign will be ready to go in a few hours unless you need a new structure built around it.
You'll also need to choose which method you'll use to post changes to your sign. Fiber optic cabling works well for large data transmission and provides good video quality, making it a top choice for signs with video capabilities, though fiber optic cables are fragile and may be expensive to install. A standard off-the-shelf phone modem coupled with public telephone networks may be cheaper, but requires a dedicated phone line – you may have to pay monthly fees to a phone company. IT associates may be able to extend your existing TCP/IP network to the sign, either by using LAN server software with a dedicated computer just for the sign or by assigning a converter box to the display and giving the sign its own IP address.
Wireless communication can make installation easier, but comes with its own set of challenges. For example, a radio frequency modem system requires a clear line of sight between the sign's RF modem and the one assigned to your computer, which can be a problem during inclement weather or if there's construction or uneven terrain between the sign and your main building. Wi-Fi capable devices have fewer line-of-sight issues, but can be vulnerable to computer hackers if not properly implemented.
Some signs can even be linked to certain cellular phone networks, but may incur additional monthly fees and require a term contract from your carrier.
Keep Your Sign Shining Bright
Outdoor signs generally require little maintenance – rain eliminates the need to wipe down the surface, for example. As long as the sign is adequately weatherproofed and has enough space to ventilate and discharge hot air, it will generally take care of itself unless someone vandalizes it or a diode fails. A well-built LED sign should last at least 10 years, Pretty says, though the brightness will degrade somewhat over time.
Your biggest maintenance issue is related to the sign's main advantage – keeping the sign updated and fresh with minimal time investment.
To do this, it's critical to first know what restrictions on digital signage exist in your area. Look into your city's zoning regulations to see if there are any restrictions on what you can do with your sign. (See sidebar on page 32 for examples.) You may find yourself seeking out your local zoning board for clarification – some sign ordinances are written so vaguely that you may not be sure whether terms like "flashing" apply to you.
"Some regulations say you can't have messages changing any more often than 10 minutes, or you can only change them twice within a 24-hour period," Sanner says. "A lot of people don't understand the difference between a moving message and just lights flashing on and off, so they use the term 'no flashing.' It defeats the purpose and the beauty of dynamic messaging."
Some areas won't restrict your content, but will stipulate brightness levels to cut down on light pollution. Look for software and dimming features that let you adjust the brightness at night so your target audience isn't blinded by the light when it's dark outside. Likewise, make sure your sign can be bright enough for good visibility in full sunlight.
"They all look great at nighttime," Pretty says. "The key factor is during the daylight. An outdoor sign needs to be readable when the sun is hitting directly on it. That's when you separate quality from non-quality."

Federal protection and a lack of natural predators have resulted in thriving wild horse and burro populations that grow substantially each year. The BLM monitors the public rangelands to determine the number of animals, including livestock and wildlife, that the land can support. Each year the BLM gathers wild horses and burros from overpopulated Herd Management Areas where vegetation and water could become scarce from overuse.
These excess animals are offered for adoption to qualified individuals through the BLM's wild horse and burro adoption program. After properly caring for an animal for one year, the adopter is eligible to receive title, or ownership, from the Federal government. While the challenge of adopting animals is greater than ever, the program remains popular. The BLM has placed more than 225,000 wild horses and burros into private ownership since 1971.
For more information on BLM adoptions and locations, please visit the adoption schedule. To apply to adopt a wild horse or burro on-line, please go to the BLM's adoption application. If you are interested in adopting directly from one of the BLM's holding facilities, please visit the agency's facilities page.
If you can't adopt but still want to help, you can volunteer, serve on advisory committees, or donate funds to assist wild horses and burros. Click here for more information.

Tiny Liechtenstein, not quite as large as Washington, DC, lies on the east bank of the Rhine River, south of Lake Constance, between Austria and Switzerland. It consists of low valley land and alpine peaks. Falknis (8,401 ft; 2,561 m) and Naafkopf (8,432 ft; 2,570 m) are the tallest.
Hereditary constitutional monarchy.
The Liechtensteiners are descended from the Alemanni tribe that came into the region after A.D. 500. Founded in 1719, Liechtenstein was a member of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866, when it became an independent principality. It abolished its army in 1868 and has managed to stay neutral and undamaged in all European wars since then. Liechtenstein still claims 1,600 sq km of Czech territory (the royal family's ancestral home) confiscated in 1918; the Czech Republic insists that restitution does not go back before Feb. 1948, when the Communists seized power.
In a referendum on July 1, 1984, male voters granted women the right to vote in national (but not local) elections.
Blacklisted in 2000 as a center for money laundering, Liechtenstein toughened its laws and made major efforts to clean up its financial practices. In 2002, the country was removed from the OECD's (Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development) blacklist.
In March 2003, their people overwhelmingly voted to give its prince more power, including the right to dismiss governments and approve judicial nominees. Prince Hans Adam II had threatened to leave the country if his demands for more authority were not met, though he already possessed more power than any other European monarch.
In Aug. 2003 the prince announced that he would give up the day-to-day ruling of the country in one year's time. In Aug. 2004, his son, Prince Alois, 36, became regent of Liechtenstein, while Hans Adam II remained the official head of state.
Klaus Tschuetscher won the absolute majority in parliamentary elections in Jan. 2009. He was sworn in as prime minister in March 2009.
On February 3, 2013, the Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP) won parliamentary elections with 40% of the vote. Adrian Hasler, FBP's candidate for prime minister, would be sworn in March 2013.

ViaSat has won a multimillion dollar contract from the U.S. government to supply broadband satellite services to support military aircraft in flight, the company announced Oct. 24.
The all-IP service plan is designed to enable access to NIPR, SIPR, and commercial Internet, as well as voice-over-IP and videoteleconferencing sessions during transcontinental or transoceanic flights, the company said.
Aircraft and ground terminals providing the broadband satellite services will use ViaSat's ArcLight technology. Among the military aircraft slated to use the technology are MC-12s, C-37s, C-130s and C-17s, the company said.
The one-year agreement is renewable for multiple years and includes options to add other aircraft, additional missions and supplemental services, the company said.
