Population (2012): 5,496,737
Surface area: 199,951 sq km

GDP per capita (2011): US $ 1,098
Economy – Overview:
Kyrgyzstan is a mountainous country with a dominant agricultural sector. Cotton, tobacco, wool, and meat are the main agricultural products, although only tobacco and cotton are exported in any quantity. Industrial exports include gold, mercury, uranium, natural gas, and electricity. The economy depends heavily on gold exports – mainly from output at the Kumtor gold mine. Following independence, Kyrgyzstan was progressive in carrying out market reforms, such as an improved regulatory system and land reform. Kyrgyzstan was the first Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) country to be accepted into the World Trade Organization. Much of the government's stock in enterprises has been sold. Drops in production had been severe after the breakup of the Soviet Union in December 1991, but by mid-1995, production began to recover and exports began to increase. In 2005, the Bakiev government and international financial institutions initiated a comprehensive medium-term poverty reduction and economic growth strategy. The government made steady strides in controlling its substantial fiscal deficit, nearly closing the gap between revenues and expenditures in 2006, before boosting expenditures more than 20% in 2007-08. GDP grew about 8% annually in 2007-08, partly due to higher gold prices internationally, but slowed to 2.9% in 2009.
Shrinking trade and agricultural production, as well as political instability, caused GDP to contract about 3.5% in 2010. The fiscal deficit widened to 11% of GDP, reflecting significant increases in crisis-related spending, including both rehabilitation of damaged infrastructure and bank recapitalization. The economy grew 5.7% in 2011, but slowed to around 1% in 2012, primarily due to an 83% decrease in production from Kumtor. Progress in reconstruction, fighting corruption, restructuring domestic industry, and attracting foreign aid and investment are crucial to future growth.

Catholic bishops, US politicians clash
Page Tools
The Catholic Church has signalled it will meet Catholic members of the US Congress concerned that church leaders may trigger a backlash by denying Communion to politicians who support abortion rights.
But a spokeswoman for Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of Washington, DC, said a meeting had not yet been set.
Cardinal McCarrick, who heads a taskforce on bishops and Catholics in public life, said he was "open to hearing" the concerns, spokeswoman Susan Gibbs said.
Rosa DeLauro, one of the 48 Catholic Democrat members of the House of Representatives who recently wrote to Cardinal McCarrick, said she was hopeful talks would begin.
In the May 10 letter, made public this week, the lawmakers asked to start talks with bishops on the potentially explosive election-year issue.
Several bishops have threatened to deny the Eucharist - which Catholics believe is the body of Christ - from Catholic politicians who vote for abortion rights, among them Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. The church opposes abortion. "We firmly believe that it would be wrong for a bishop to deny the sacrament of Holy Communion to an individual on the basis of a voting record," wrote the Democrats.
"We believe such an action would be counterproductive and would bring great harm to the church," they wrote.
The lawmakers noted that the Supreme Court "has declared our constitution provides women with the right to an abortion".
"We also do not believe that it is the obligation of legislators to prohibit all conduct, which we may, as a matter of personal morality, believe is wrong," they wrote. "If Catholic legislators are scorned and held out for ridicule by church leaders on the basis of a single issue, the church will lose strong advocates on a wide range of issues that relate to the core of important Catholic social teaching," the lawmakers warned.
In February, Archbishop Raymond Burke of St Louis advised Senator Kerry not to "present himself for Communion" at any church in the city.
Last month, Cardinal Francis George of Chicago said the "great scandal" of the Democratic Party "is that there's no pro-life caucus".
The leader of Senator Kerry's Boston diocese, Archbishop Sean O'Malley, has urged Catholic elected officials who support abortion rights to abstain from Communion, but has not asked priests to stop offering it.
Bishop Michael Sheridan of Colorado Springs, in a pastoral letter on May 1, said parishioners who vote for politicians who support abortion, euthanasia or illicit stem-cell research should also be denied Communion.
Cardinal McCarrick disagreed. In the Catholic Standard, the Washington Archdiocese's newspaper, he recently wrote: "I do not favour a confrontation at the altar rail with the Sacred Body of the Lord Jesus in my hand."
"There are apparently those who would welcome such a conflict for good reasons, I am sure, or for political ones, but I would not," he wrote.

Learn about our Unlimited Plans in our Knowledge Sharing Session: Whole Lotta' Data Going On! on Wed, June 28 - from 1-4pm ET / 12-3pm CT / 10am-1pm PT!
My story begins in October 2013 with many many calls to ATT Technical Support. At the time, I had DSL, while I had numerous issues, speaking with either Customer Service or Technical Support was an absolute nightmare. My final call with DSL Technical Support ended with me having to purchase another modem as my DSL modem was apparently old and not functioning. So I purchased a new modem. Days later I received the new modem. Figuring I had been without service for so long, a few more days to install the new modem on the weekend would not hurt. Before I could get the new modem installed, I received notification from ATT that in order to continue service, I would need to change over to UVERSE, pay for another modem and do so immediately. So I change over, pay for another modem and wait until after 8 pm the day of my "install" to have internet. After many many calls, several hours on the phone with Technical Support, my "new" uverse modem is bad! So, they offer to send out a technician. Days later, two ATT technicians show up at my house, where they proceeed to tell me how crappy the service is with ATT how they wished it was still Bellsouth. One technician seemingly being concerned and the other one.....well he was busy downloading programs to my computer without my knowledge or consent. They finally tell me, "This is as good as it is going to get". Considering I have several accounts that are internet based, I have no alternative but to be at the ungracious mercy of the ATT god. Today, December 10, 2013, my service is down again. I have reset, rebooted, cleared the cache, stood on my head all to no avail. Contacting Customer Service/Technical Support results in another visit from the "techs" which means I have to take off from work again. Will this nightmare never end!?!?!?!

the nightmare will not end. mine is not as bad, but online support and ground support cannot agree on anything--and all customer service does is repeat my questions back to me. no one at ATT acutally seems to understand computers, networks, or telecommunications technology

I was connected to the 2nd Tier Paterfamilias of Tech Support for Uverse where I spent a glorious hour explaining over and over what the issue was only to be treated with disrespect as usual. I now have to wait until Saturday for a technician that may or may not show and may or may not know how to fix it. Hopefully it's not the last incapable techs they sent! I complained on them because one of them downloaded programs to my computer while the other distracted me with his tale of "how bad is your employer", then told me "it's as good as it gets" and how they hate to work for ATT and how they wish it was still Bellsouth. I am being charged for the 3rd replacement modem when I should not be charged for. Credits that have never been applied to my account and oh the many many names of people I have spoken to....20 different members of the infamous 2nd Tier Support, but the best call was yesterday when I finally got a Supervisor who sounded like they were under the influence of something and ended up calling back in to verify everything what the Supervisor said they were going to do, only to be told that "Oh no, I'm sorry you were told wrong, Policy states when you have an issue like this to send an inside technician not an outside technician, let me look up who created this, then she said, I'm sorry I cannot change this because you spoke to my supervisor, she has worked here longer than me and I will not step on her toes, even though she was wrong!!!
I have been instructed to make sure that I have all the names, times I called, length of call, description of call. I have proof of the credits in the printed chats. It is unreal and the bad thing is, they know they have you because of the monopoly of service they have created in my area, there are no other providers unless you go to satellite. So all I can do is vent for now, complain, moan, groan, and even cry. At least for now………………………
[Please keep it courteous]
cmcintosh, if this weekends technician visit doesn't resolve all of your issues, I'd recommend you click on one of the links in the post above yours to get you connected to the escalation teams that should be able to get you to the end of your journey.
I would have to agree i have been dealing with issues for over 2 years I am finally at the point of canceling today after a EXECUTIVE DISPATCH provided no results to my issue. Hopeuflly your internet gets worked out so you dont pull your hair out like me
Unfortunately no. The tech was a no call no show.

Hi, cmcintosh1214!
I'm sorry to hear that your tech did not show up. I did check, and I don't see any private messages sent to our escalation team. I encourage you to send us a private message using this link so we can help.
This is not the same customer care you've been in touch with over the phone. This is a dedicated team that only handles escalations from the forums, and they will work very hard to resolve your issue.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
Ah.....only works from the forums.....and thats supposed to be better than calling?!?! Since I have access where I am at now, lets try pulling up the FCC's website and see what it says.

In my experience it is. Whether it should be or not is a whole different story. I guess the question is whether you'd like to take advantage of an escalation route with a track record of success or cling to a method that hasn't been working for you and continue to complain about that fact. Your choice.
Message has been sent to the Escalation Forum watchers. we will see how they handle this.....

Hi all

The current gen Cadillac does not have Bluetooth audio.Quote:

i'm not going to return it over this but i'm just amazed. my 2011 jeep wrangler has bluetooth audio. just stunned is all. also adding bluetooth audio to the stereo is not exactly redesigning the chasis or suspension. pretty trivial upgrade.
I hear you, my son's 2009 Mazda 6 has Bluetooth audio, and the CTS doesn't.Quote:

The CTS' controls are much more comprehensive (again, compared to the 2009 Mazda with Bluetooth audio).
yup for a company the size of GM it's a disgrace. especially as they are trying to appeal to a younger demographic. I am 40 years old and a first time Cadillac owner. i'm impressed with the car just not with the electronics. another example is the XM radio. why with the size of lcd display available does it not display the WHOLE name of the song??? if i just bought a Camry i'd just chalk it up to buying an average car. i just expected more from Cadillac.
The 'UAV' Infotainment system in the 2nd gen CTS was designed/engineered in 2006, with the vehicle entering regular production in late June 2007. When the all-new 2008 CTS was introduced in 2007, everyone - including automotive press folk - was raving about how great the 'state-of-the-art' CTS's Infotainment system was, and how it trumped the majority of systems available at that time in competitor brand vehicles. In the electronics biz 1 year is a long time, with new stuff being introduced all the time. The Infotainment system design in the gen 2 CTS is now 6+ years old. Personally, I think it's held up very well when considering the pace of technology advancement and introduction of latest & greatest electronics gear. It occurs to me the original model iPhone was also introduced in 2007, and if you're caught operating one of those now you're considered to be using an "antique".
Given the original development costs there was no way GM was ever going to update the UAV Infotainment system for the gen 2 CTS, which is now in its final year of production. I'm very satisfied with the Infotainment system in my '11 CTS, and it matters little to me that it lacks Bluetooth audio.
As for the XM display, as I said my Jeep handles all the information fine. It is in the signal being broadcast. It is just how you choose to implement.
Guys, I do not know if buying a CTS was a trivial thing for all of you but for most of us I would expect we worked hard to pay for this car. My point is we should always expect the best from the manufacturers that we buy from. It is the only way to keep standards up. I will compliment Cadillac on this car. It is wonderful and these issues do not take away from my enjoyment of the car. But it is ok to highlight the shortcomings.

You just hope that there are never compromises in quality which the domestics have been guilty of in the past.
As I mentioned earlier, my son has a 2009 Mazda 6 Grand Touring S model. It is loaded to the gills (Bluetooth audio, Rain sensing wipers, keyless entry, push button start, blind spot monitoring, memory seats, navigation, Sirius, etc). It also is the V6 model and it is plenty quick and would give the CTS a run for it's money or maybe beat it outright given how much lighter it is. Brand new it had an MSRP in the low $30k range.
( side note on this, at that price many would accuse Mazda of "price dumping" but at the time Ford had part ownership in Mazda, and the 6 was based on the Fusion and was built by American workers in the Flat Rock Michigan plant. As a matter of fact, the Blake calipers have FOMoCo stamped on them)
Having said all that, with all the features the Mazda has, it is not the same as my CTS.
Things like ride, feel, and especially the materials. Drive the two back to back and no one will mistake the 6 for the Cadillac. The cabin is a much richer as you would expect, not to mention that the audio and navigation is much nicer and ipod integration and control is better executed in the CTS than it is on the Mazda. For me BT audio isn't missed because I've stored all my music on the internal hard drive so I don't have to stream from my iPhone, and that hard drive let's me pause, rewind and record music, again something that the Mazda doesn't have. I have a heated steering wheel along with heated and cooled seats, while the Mazda only heats the seats. The CTS has adaptive headlights, remote start, and OnStar telematics that allow me to start my car from my iPhone when I'm getting ready to leave for the day so that the car is heated/or cooled by the time I walk to the other side of the building where I park.
So, I could lament that my car doesn't have a feature that is offered in less expensive cars, or I can enjoy what my car offers over those less expensive cars.
Recently I read a Car and Driver article where they reviewed a Bentley and they mentioned it lacked a common feature, I think it was blind spot monitoring. What has this world come to? I'm sure those Bentley owners are howling. :)
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!!

Big box formica counter tops
Any one ever have luck buying formica counter tops from the big box stores? I am looking at just ordering a pre made top. I have always made them myself so this is new to me. The top will need one 45 miter joint. Anytime I try and use stuff that homeowners use I always get burn't.
I've made counter tops -
Had them made at top-shops -
Got them from Big Box stores.
If you get them from a Big Box store -
Look at them closely - particularly the 45 degree edge.
Check out the new ones at Home Depot there stocking.
They have a roman ogee front and back edge and look like granite.
Only minor issue I had with them was I had to add a 1 X 4 to the top of the cabinet to get them level with the side of the range.
I installed them in a rental and everyone that came to look at the place commented how much they liked them.
I will take a look today. Problem I run into is not all the bigbox carry the same items. Some jobs I find myself driving 45 minutes to get to the home depot with the particular items I need. Also how do you scribe those counter tops with the built in backsplash. They showed the guy in the ad planing the back splash down to fit the wall
We got an off the shelf 6 foot one from the blue or orange store, can't remember which now, that had some really sub standard laminate on top. The finish gets hazy spots and a light scrub gets you to wood real fast. I screwed up on that buy.
A simple belt sander is what I would use. A planer may chip the top. And will distroy the blades.
Just got back from the orange and the blue. Man oh man, the sheets of formica are more than the counter tops themselves. I am thinking just buy a ten and a six foot pieces, then just cut the ten down and I have a one foot section to use. First question, what do I cut these with, circular saw or jig saw. And what do I do with the exposed ends/. I do not want to buy a whole sheet of laminate just to do a few small strips. This is a rental so it does not have to be perfect, but I do not want any troubled spots. I have a router and bits.
Should have picked up some edge pieces while you were there. They sell them to match their ready made counters. They iron on.
We bought ours from Home Depot and they came out and measured, When it came It fit like a glove. all one peace. it was great.
Usually, I prefer to make counters myself, but I ordered an 8' countertop from the orange store for a low budget kitchen install. They had to make it 3 times till they got it right. I gave them the overall length needed, but they insisted on having the length dimension of the cabinets that it would sit on. Then they forgot the the inch and a half overhang on the exposed end. Take it back and reorder. Fortunately, I kept a copy of the drawing that I gave them. The second time, they did the exact same thing. :whistling2: When I took it back (again), they decided to argue about it. OK, dipstick, come out and measure it yourself, which they did. Lots of head hanging and gaze averting later, they admitted to their screwup and ordered it again. Hey, third time's a charm......... 6 weeks later. The manager did give me a heck of a credit though for the lost time. Pretty much got all the counters for the job for next to nothing.
Little more info here. So this is a rental gone bad basically. Normally someone would want to just do a patch job on a rental, which has been done for years and years. I do not really want to do a patch job, but I do not want to spend a fortune. After looking over the job, the walls are very far out of square, the floor to wall is way out. The floor is very unlevel. I would rather just buy all new bottom cabinets than screw with patching the old ones up anymore. I plan on leveling the floor. I will leave the wall out of plumb because it will just mean a gap behind the cabinet. I will pull a few top cabinets and pad out the plaster a good deal over a four foot section. Drywall the now plumb and square wall. Hang the top cabinets, set the bottom cabinets. Throw some pre made tops over them and be done. I just hate to fight and fight and in the end have a hack job. Should I do it right?

Sorry to say this guys. But this has been bugging from the moment i received the email newsletter, where you guess woo, was all over the place.All authors are bringing money to envato and not only the popular ones.
Congratulation Yaar.

settysantu saidIn case you are talking about Envato withdrawals, I would suggest SWIFT transfer once every month. You will see the benefits when you start earning more.
Am going to make multiple request which will be LTE $500.
Ya Wire Transfer is always good for Big Amounts.
Am going to make multiple request which will be LTE $500.
Ya Saurabh it is better choice to go with SWIFT . I think now paypal is comming to end in India as its strongly finding ways to violate RBi rules.
I have tried SWIFT , we can use it but need to be ready for small losses like when you get money through wire transfer bank charges for currency conversion and give less currencies rate as compare to market rate.
If you get small amount then loss will be small if you get big amount loss will be more. Hope you must be aware Envato charges $30 fee for it.

: What you don't like about your culture & what you like
Talking about Middle Eastern countries in general:
I don't like:
People are racist. I don't want to give out examples because it's too racist. But, it could be something such as a stereotype that people of a certain country are unattractive, dirty..etc.
People focus on looks first. The car they drive, the purse they're carrying, the way their hair looks...etc. In some countries like Kuwait guys walking in the street will tell you to go to the hairdresser and fix your eyebrows if they have come out.
I also hate the cat-calls and staring guys do, but mostly in Kuwait. I have seriosuly not witnessed anything like it in any other Arab country. Even if you are absolutely hideous, as long as you are a female, males will flirt. Males, as in 8 year old or 80 yr olds. It doesn't matter. There is no age limit. It also doesn't matter if you are walking with your mother or father. Guys will still tell you you're hot in front of them. Even if you're not. Just as long as you're female.
I hate that people look very fake. I'm not saying I say no to make-up or palstic surgeries, because I certainly don't. But I just hate the totally fake made-up faces. I hate that everyone's lips are reaching their noses from the amount of collagen?silicone? and taht everyone has fake colored eyes, unbeleievably lots of eyemakeup...etc...all for something as simple as a mall.
I hate that a lot o people in the Middle East don't really end up being anything. If the Arab countries stopped exporting razors, all the men would either wax their faces or cut of the hair with a knife or something. Arabs haven't even been able to make razors. Which is also weird because I've heard that in countries such as Syria all products need to be Syrian? So I'm not sure how true that is.
I hate that in places where a lot of people are rich, such as in the Gulf counries, parents would give their kids everything and they'd grow up not being able to do anything, or wanting to do anything, because they're given everything. They will go to the best schools which their parents will pay for, but they'll fail. Yet, they will get great jobs (work with their parents) and become rich. Which is not bad but it's annoying because the kids will be sort of arrogant and not serious about anything they should be serious about when they're kids.
I also hate that people gossip alot and talk alot. Really a lot. Not everywhere, but in many places. It gets really annoying. People are afraid of doing something because "what will people say" instead of "what will God think." Which doesn't make any sense since they're supposedly religious.
What I like:
People usually respect their elders. Even if you're 20 and a 40 yr old woman or man is standing while you're sitting, you should get up for them. You shouldn't talk back to them...etc. Which is annoying at times, but nice (IMO) when you are able to do it.
I like that people are very involved with one another in that they will try to help even if they won't know you, and even if its something trivial. For example, I once was with my younger cousin (7-8 yr old?) who got mad at me and hit my arm. A man my father's age in the grocery stopped him and told him taht it's rude to hit his older sister. To me its a positive thing that people are involved with others and try to help even if they're strangers.
I like that hospitality is very important, and there is lots of stress on things such as never saying anything that will bother any person in your house, even if they scream/yell/talk down..etc on you. I've had times where I wanted to kill my aunts who were staying over at our house. They would start fights, talk down on my mom, start fights with her, tell my parents that my friends aren't good...etc. I really wanted to yell at her many tmes, and I have. But I would like to be able to do I am supposed to do (in my culture) which is be nice, be aptient, let them yell/scream, and not say anything as long as they are in my house.
Even though there are many racist stereotypes, people aren't very sensetive to these subjects. It's ok to ask people from where they are, why they dont look from a certain culture, what religion they are...etc, with no one getting offended. It is even considered friendly conversation.
Please share. What I said might not make sense to others (such as the last example I gave) but its what I like. I want to hear people's likes and dislikes, whatever they may be.

Vacant homes a target for thieves
PALM DESERT, Calif. - Police get hundreds of home burglary reports in the valley every year. Here's why:
"Most of our customers, they own a second home in the valley here. They spend most of their winter months over here and in the summer time they leave," said Chris Madain, President/CEO of Desert Alarm Inc.
Leaving behind their pricey belongings, and often making it very apparent to burglars there's no one home.
"It's very obvious, the lights are off, no movement inside the home, just things of that nature that give it away," Madain said.
In the U.S. a home is broken into every 13 seconds and the most common time for these invasions is the summer.
But if you think homes and communities behind gates are safe, think again.
"I just assume the only way to get in is through the gate and the gate's not always open," said Kathleen Dostert, a Palm Desert resident who lives in a gated community.
"Most break-ins in the valley happen to homes that are behind gated communities," Madain said.
Some ways to keep your home safe, especially if you plan to leave for months at a time:
Keep your windows and doors locked.
Consider getting timers for your lights and television to make it appear someone is home.
Install a home security system.
"The best way to protect your home is through a burglar alarm system," Madain said.
According to the FBI, homes without security systems are 300% more likely to be broken into.
"We get people who wait too long before they install an alarm system and they call us when it's a little too late," Madain said.
A standard security system could be costly, but it could be much more costly leaving your home without one.

- accessible for inspection and repair. A benefit of this construction is that one foot of standing water on my property would flood my basement, but NOT damage my home - an attractive feature when you live near a major river.
- One of the defining features of craftsman style homes is the built-in cabinets and cubbyholes for storage. Visitors who know more about construction than I do have suggested that duplicating these features in a modern house would be expensive.
- The hardwood floors are made of aged oak with walnut inlay. They have survived wonderfully for three quarters of a century because the original owner covered them with linoleum for most of those years.
From the insurance company's perspective, they would probably argue that it isn't practical, reasonable, or cost effective for them to replicate some of the unique aspects of our home. They would likely define the home tersely:
- 1800 square feet
- Three bedrooms
- Two bathrooms
- Hard wood floors
- Consistent with current building practices
I can imagine the insurer offering to have a "comparable" home built atop a slab on our lot. They might even point out that it would be built with new and, in some cases, superior materials and that we were getting a very good deal. I wonder though, even if it has essentially the same floor plan, would my wife and I say they had captured the essence of our adorable little home?
If reasonable people can disagree about the definition of a house when there is a life-size exact model to use as a reference point, is it any wonder that others might disagree about the definition of a software system that exists only in their respective imaginations? Attributes of our home that are relevant to us might not be relevant to our insurance company. Who gets to decide which attributes drive the decision? If I explore further, I might discover some attributes that are important to me that aren't important to my wife, and vice versa.
If something happened to our house, we would be in the classic hard spot of defining what was lost. Our lives would be turned upside down and there would be pressure to recover quickly. The insurance company would also want to settle the issue as quickly and inexpensively as possible (just like most systems integration vendors working on fixed price software projects). The insurance company would care about providing good service, hoping to keep us happy so we might refer our friends to them because many people would hear about it if we were not satisfied.
In this hypothetical situation, agreeing on a reasonable definition seems like a difficult task, yet it is essential to the ultimate success of the project. Making time to attend to details is difficult, and to completely specify all aspects of the project from the outset would likely be impossible. But it is important to agree on a working definition and on a process for negotiating amendments to that definition as the project goes on. Not only are the same things true for software projects, but the extra challenges of abstractness and complexity make flexibility even more important.

To improve the overall health and well-being of young people in Georgia to ensure a more powerful future for us all.
Our Vision:
We believe all children are entitled to a safe and healthy adolescence characterized by hope, respect and the opportunity for a productive future.
About GCAPP:
The Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential (GCAPP) was founded in 1995 as the then, Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention, when Georgia had the highest teen birth rate in the nation. Today, that rate has declined by more than 60%. By working with school districts, health educators, and nearly 200 youth-serving organizations across the state, GCAPP reaches more than 40,000 young people a year with age appropriate, medically accurate sex education. In 2012 GCAPP changed its name and expanded its mission to include healthy relationships, and physical activity and nutrition. At the core of our work We empower young people with the information and motivation to improve their overall health and well-being so that they are better equipped to make healthy lifestyle choices – choices that tap into their power, potential, and hope for a successful future. Adolescence is often very challenging, particularly for those who are most vulnerable. Whether it's teen pregnancy prevention/sex education, physical activity and nutrition, or healthy relationships we help young people tap into their inner compass, navigate better decision making, and we help them succeed.
Urgent Action Needed!
GCAPP joins the Healthy Teen Network, The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, and hundreds of other state and national organizations advocating to protect the Title X Family Planning Program. Click here to act now.

Star Wars: The Old Republic peak concurrent users top 350,000 - Analyst
Baird Equity Research says simultaneous usage figures for EA/BioWare MMORPG strong; expects sales of 3 million by March.
We'll begin emailing you updates about %gameName%.
Electronic Arts' long-awaited massively multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic shipped in late December and quickly grabbed over 1 million registered users. And according to Baird Equity Research analyst Colin Sebastian, peak player usage figures for the game stand at around 350,000.
"We view the early success of Star Wars as an indication of a healthy MMO market," Sebastian said. "While there is likely some shifting of usage from [Activision's] World of Warcraft, we see a viable market for multiple million-user MMOs in the US and Europe. With more than 1 million registered online users, we see roughly one-third (or roughly 350K) representing peak concurrent usage."
The figure represents players in North America and Europe only. Baird also said that he expects Star Wars: The Old Republic will sell 3 million copies by March 2012. However, Baird does not believe Star Wars: The Old Republic will amass 1.5 to 2 million paid subscribers by the end of 2012, a figure he described as "too optimistic."
Star Wars: The Old Republic is BioWare's first MMORPG, but it is not the developer's first experience working with George Lucas' sci-fi franchise. It helped establish The Old Republic setting--several thousand years before the events in the original Star Wars film trilogy--with the 2003 Xbox and PC role-playing game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
I have devoted my career to the practice of criminal law. From my early days in law school, when I clerked at one of the most prestigious criminal defense law firms in Richmond, to the present day. When I graduated law school I accepted a position with that same firm — the first offer extended to a law clerk in over fourteen years. I learned a great deal from those lawyers and enjoyed success in matters ranging from traffic infractions to serious felonies such as aggravated malicious wounding and attempted murder. I got around, too, representing clients in the courts of over thirty Virginia jurisdictions, as well as in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Feeling the call to public service, I took a job as prosecutor for the City of Fredericksburg in 2006. During my time with the City I prosecuted nearly every imaginable type of case and I routinely advised and trained the police officers with whom I worked. I also served as a special prosecutor in Hanover, Spotsylvania, and Stafford Counties in certain matters. In February 2009, I completed a course of in-depth training in the prosecution of online crimes against children. I was only one of eighty or so prosecutors selected nationwide for that course of study.
I am admitted to practice in the state courts of Virginia and in the United States District Courts of the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia, as well as the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. I am a member of the Fredericksburg Area Bar Association, and serve on the Judicial Selection Committee and the By-Laws Committee. I also serve as Chair of the Sixth District Committee of the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board.
I represent defendants in criminal trials and appeals throughout Virginia.
Email me at email@example.com or call me at (804) 386-2223 to discuss your case.

Black Students Face Harsher Discipline, Study Says
It is a local truth, but it is also a national one: black students, and boys in particular, are more likely to be harshly disciplined in school than other students, according to new data from the United States Department of Education.
The new information comes out of the department's Civil Rights Data Collection's 2009-10 statistics, and shows that while black students make up a fraction of the enrollment at schools surveyed -- 18 percent -- they account for 35 percent of first-time suspensions and 46 percent of second-time suspensions.
They are more likely to be expelled from school or arrested, and if they have a disability, statistics show that they are disproportionately subject to restraints or seclusion.
But the differences in schooling experience are not limited to discipline. The survey, which was conducted of 7,000 school districts and of students in kindergarten through high school, found that schools where many students are black and Hispanic are less likely to offer calculus than those where there are few of these students.
The data also showed that schools with a lot of black and Hispanic students were likely to have relatively inexperienced, and low-paid, teachers. On average, teachers in high-minority schools were paid $2,251 less per year than their colleagues elsewhere. In New York high schools, though, the discrepancy was more than $8,000, and in Philadelphia, more than $14,000.
In New York City, the Police Department has started releasing data four times a year on the number of students who are arrested or issued summonses inside public schools. The most recent statistics show that 60 percent of the students arrested were black, though they comprise about 30 percent of the student body in city schools.
The New York Post reports today that city education officials returned $7.5 million in federal grant money to the state, after concluding they could not meet the grant's requirement of establishing a new teacher evaluation system. But as the reporter Yoav Gonen writes, the city returned the grant without trying to reach a deal with the city's teachers' union. Only three city schools were participating in the grant program, called the School Innovation Fund, and state officials said they were willing to let the city come up with a limited agreement covering only those three schools. But the city's Education Department said there was not enough time to reach a deal and conduct training.
And the legendary chess team at Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn has won the state championship, reports The Daily News. The team will travel to Minneapolis next month to try for an eighth national championship. Their coach, Elliott Weiss, has led the team since 1981.
"We were the underdogs," said Weiss. "They were playing against some master-level chess players. We were down. I just walked away disgusted, thinking we lost. But 20 minutes later, our man was demolishing his opponent."

In Albany this morning, students and elected officials are holding rallies in support of the Dream Act, proposed legislation that would give students who are in the country illegally access to financial aid at city and state universities.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is speaking at a benefit on Tuesday night for Harlem Prep Charter School -- a formerly independent charter school called Harlem Day that had its charter revoked for poor performance. In an unusual arrangement, the state allowed Democracy Prep, a charter management organization that oversees several other schools, to reopen the school with the same students and a new staff. The event is being held at a restaurant on the Upper East Side and top flight tickets go for $15,000 -- the cost of educating five Harlem Prep students for one year.
