The Complete Guide to Transferring your Content to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
With a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch model coming out pretty much annually, it's inevitable that at some point most users are going to want to upgrade their older device to the latest and greatest new model.
This article is designed to act as a guide to assist users with the process of ensuring that they have a proper backup of their iOS device and then using either iTunes or iCloud to restore all of their settings, data and content onto a new device from there. In most cases, this is actually a very straightforward procedure, but like anything that are always exceptions and it's helpful to have a good understanding of the procedures involved.
The Process
In the days of Click Wheel iPods, before iOS devices, the procedure for switching to a new device was relatively simple: Plug it into iTunes and go through a very straightforward setup assistant to determine what type of content you wanted to sync and whether you wanted automatic sync enabled. Users with more complicated configurations may have needed to tweak their sync settings, but that was about it. There were no settings to backup and restore and no apps to be concerned about. In fact, this is still how things work with the iPod classic, iPod nano and iPod shuffle.
With the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch the procedure is slightly different, although not necessarily all that more complicated. Essentially, a backup of your current device is stored either by iTunes on your computer, or in iCloud. Regular backups are made whenever you sync your device to your computer or on a regular schedule if you're using iCloud and you can easily generate a manual backup to either destination on-demand. iTunes backups require that you have a USB or Wi-Fi sync connection to your primary iTunes library while iCloud backups require a Wi-Fi Internet connection; automatic iCloud backups will only occur once every 24 hours when your device is on Wi-Fi and plugged into a power source with the screen locked.
The backups made by iTunes or iCloud contain all of your settings and third-party application data, but they do not include items that are expected to already be stored elsewhere. For example, your backups will include things like the photos in your device's Camera Roll but not those in your iCloud Photo Streams or originally synced from your computer. Similarly, your actual apps and media content are not stored in your device backups either; these would make the backups much larger and make the backup process much slower with no advantage since these items can normally be resynchronized from iTunes (just to be clear: application data is stored in the backup, the applications themselves are not). This does mean, however, that the restore process is essentially done in two steps: Restore the backup, and then re-synchronize everything else from iCloud and/or iTunes.
The process for migrating your data from an old iOS device to a new one is basically quite straightforward for most typical users.
- Ensure that you have a current backup of your iOS device and content, in either iTunes or iCloud.
- Set up your new device, choosing to restore your backup when prompted to do so.
- Synchronize your new device with iTunes to restore your applications and media content.
We'll go through each of these steps in more detail a bit later.
One of the most important things to keep in mind when transferring over to a new device is Don't Panic. The process doesn't touch anything on your current device, so if things go wrong you can always very easily just go back and try again. In fact for this reason it's generally a good idea to avoid erasing your old device until you're completely sure that everything is working fine on the new device, even if looks like the restore procedure went flawlessly.
Note that iOS backups are not device-specific. You can restore a backup from any iOS device model to any other iOS device model; for example from an iPod touch to an iPhone, or even from an iPhone to an iPad, or vice-versa. This can be useful if you're switching to a different device or you've bought a secondary device such as an iPad and want to start with the same basic settings, apps and data that you use on your primary device.
The only major limitation is that the new device must be running the same or later version of iOS as the one that was used to make the original backup. There are also a few other minor limitations that we discuss at the end of this article.
Using iTunes vs. iCloud
Traditionally, the Apple approved way to transfer your data, settings and content from your old device to a new one was to use iTunes, however with the release of iOS 5 in 2011, Apple took steps to lessen the need for a traditional Mac or PC with the introduction of iCloud, which can provide most of the same capabilities of iTunes in terms of getting your device up and running without actually requiring a computer.
We will discuss both methods separately later in this article, but in many cases if you do have a computer with an iTunes library, using iTunes to transfer the information to your new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch will be the much faster method simply due to USB transfer speeds as compared to those of a typical Internet connection. Further, iCloud does not handle the types of content that iTunes does, so regardless of which method you use, you may still be plugging your device back into your computer anyway to reload items such as videos and non-purchased music.
Note that there is no requirement to use one method or the other; even if you normally backup your device to iCloud, you can still easily make a backup in iTunes and restore from that.
What about third-party apps?
There are several third-party applications that promise to simplify the transfer process, but in reality none of these should be necessary for the vast majority of situations. Many of these really just do what iTunes already does quite well, and almost all of them need to be purchased separately. While some of them offer other useful features, if you're considering buying one of these apps solely for transferring data to a new device, we recommend saving your money and just going with the standard—and free—iTunes/iCloud methods described here.
Step 1: Ensure that you have a current backup
Since the entire transfer process hinges on the backups made by iTunes or iCloud, your will want to make sure you have a current backup before doing anything else.
Remember that iTunes only backs up your device when you connect or sync it with your iTunes library. It is fairly obvious when this happens over a USB connection, but keep in mind that syncing over Wi-Fi only occurs when your device is connected to a power source. Similarly, iCloud backups are only made automatically once every 24 hours, and even then only if your device is on a Wi-Fi network and plugged into a power source with its screen locked.
Therefore, the best thing to do before beginning is to simply make another backup manually. In fact, why not make two? Although you have to choose one or the other for your automatic backups, you can easily make manual backups of your device to iCloud and iTunes.
To back up your device to iTunes, plug it into your computer and then right-click on it in the Devices list on the left-hand side of your iTunes window. A context menu will appear with Back Up as one of the options. Simply click on this and iTunes will immediately make a backup of your device. This can be done over USB or Wi-Fi, but we recommend doing it over USB as it will be faster and generally more reliable. Note that you can perform this backup regardless of whether you normally use iTunes or iCloud for your automatic backups.
To make a backup to iCloud, go into the Settings app on your device, choose iCloud and then scroll down and select Storage & Backup. At the bottom of this screen is a switch to enable iCloud Backup. If you normally backup to iTunes, this option will be off; simply enable it and a Back Up Now button will appear that you can tap to start an iCloud backup manually. Remember that you must be connected via Wi-Fi in order to do this.
You can confirm the date and time of your last iCloud backup from the same screen—it will be shown immediately below the Back Up Now button. To check the date and time of your last backup to iTunes, go into your iTunes Preferences and choose the Devices tab. A list of all iOS device backups stored by iTunes will be shown on this screen, with the date and time for each.
The date and time of the last backup for each method can also be viewed from the Summary screen for your device in iTunes. Simply look for the Backup section. This is also used to set the location for automatic backups; toggling between the two options will show the date and time of the last backup for each.
Ensure your content is backed up
Remember that your device backups in iTunes and iCloud only include your settings and application data, not the applications themselves or any of your media content. The restore procedure assumes—and relies on—the ability to recover these items from iCloud and/or your local iTunes library.
Planning to restore from iCloud
If you are restoring from iCloud, your applications will be automatically restored over-the-air directly from the App Store. Similarly, purchased music, movies, TV shows and iBooks will be automatically re-downloaded following the restore. However, other content will need to be restored from iTunes, including movies, TV shows, audiobooks, and music content from other sources such as your own CDs or other download services.
If you only have applications on your device and are not concerned about media content such as music, movies, TV shows or audiobooks the process is much simpler: you can simply restore using iCloud and not worry about what is in your iTunes library. Your iCloud backup will include all of your settings and application data, and the apps themselves will be re-downloaded directly from the App Store.
Further, if you're an iTunes Match subscriber, your music library is available in iCloud already. If you use the Podcasts or iTunes U iOS apps for that type of content instead of syncing it from iTunes, then that's covered by the iCloud restore procedure as well.
If you don't store any other type of iTunes-based content on your device—movies, TV shows, audiobooks, or photos synced from your computer—then there is likely no need to connect to your device to your iTunes library at all and you can just restore directly from iCloud and ignore the rest of this section.
If you have media content that is synced from iTunes, however, you will need to ensure that the content is in your iTunes library so that it can be copied to your new device as it will not be included as part of your backup nor available from iCloud in any other way.
Planning to restore from iTunes
If you are restoring from iTunes, the procedure will assume that everything will be restored directly from your iTunes library, including your applications. Your applications will not be restored directly from the App Store in this case, but will need to be copied back on from your own iTunes library.
For this reason it's important in either case to ensure that everything that is on your device is also on your computer. For most users who sync with iTunes regularly this will automatically be the case unless you've actually been deleting content from your library. Even apps and content purchased directly on your device should automatically be transferred back to your iTunes library the next time you sync your device as long as your computer is authorized for your iTunes Store account.
If you don't sync with iTunes regularly, however, it's a good idea to double-check that everything is actually in your iTunes library, especially if you plan on using iTunes to restore your new device. For apps and other purchased content, you must first ensure that your computer is authorized for the account that was used to purchase that content. This should normally be the case unless you have never actually purchased anything from the iTunes Store using your computer, in which case you can authorize your computer simply by choosing Authorize This Computer from the Store menu in iTunes and entering your Apple ID and password when prompted.
If you're unsure whether your computer is authorized or not, go through this process anyway. There is no harm in doing it if your computer is already authorized to begin with; iTunes will simply recognize this and let you know that your computer is already authorized.
If you have purchased content using more than one iTunes Store account, be sure to repeat this step for each account.
Once you've confirmed that your computer is authorized for the iTunes Store account(s) used to purchase your content, you can simply connect your device and select Transfer Purchases from the File menu to copy any apps and other purchased content from your device back to your iTunes library.
If you have non-purchased content on your device that is not in your iTunes library you will need to look to third-party tools to transfer this content back to your computer so that it can be synced to your new device. See our article on Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer for more information on how to go about doing this. Note that this should only normally be the situation if you've either deleted content from your iTunes library manually or you've lost your iTunes library at some point and had not previously copied the data back from your device when rebuilding your library.
Step 2: Set up your new device and restore your backup
Once you've confirmed that your backup is current and your content is in your iTunes library, you're ready to set up and restore your new device. Since iOS 5, Apple has employed a new setup assistant that runs on new iOS devices to take you through the process of getting up and running. During the setup process you will be given the opportunity to connect to iTunes instead of using a Wi-Fi access point, or if you continue the on-device setup assistant, eventually asked whether you want to restore a backup from iTunes or iCloud.
Restoring from iTunes
During the setup assistant you can either choose the Connect to iTunes option at the Wi-Fi configuration screen, or later choose Restore from iTunes Backup; in either case, you'll be shown a Connect to iTunes screen at which point you can plug your device into your computer to restore from iTunes.
In reality, however you can actually skip all of this entirely and simply plug your device into your computer right out of the box. iTunes will prompt you to either set it up as a new device or restore from one of your previous backups.
Simply choose the appropriate backup that you want to restore onto your new device and click the Continue button. iTunes will restore your backup, after which your device will reboot. It will reappear in iTunes after it reboots and begin synchronizing your apps and media content back onto your device from your iTunes library.
Note that if you did not complete the setup assistant before restoring from iTunes, you will still be required to go through a few remaining steps before you can start using your device.
Restoring from iCloud
To restore from iCloud, simply proceed through the iOS setup assistant and choose the Restore from iCloud Backup option when it's presented to you.
You will be prompted to sign in with your iCloud Apple ID and password and then you will be shown a list of backups stored in your iCloud account, with backups most appropriate for your device listed first and the date, time and device name shown for each. Note that iCloud stores the three most recent backups for each of your devices, so you may see two older backups listed here as well.
Simply choose the appropriate backup and tap the Restore button in the top-right corner. Your device will begin an initial foreground restore from iCloud for your settings and data, after which it will reboot and continue restoring your content in the background. As with an iTunes restore, you may still need to complete the iOS setup assistant after the reboot as well.
Step 3: Sync your device to restore your content
As we've already discussed, in order to save both time and space iOS device backups only contain your settings and application data. Instead of storing the actual applications and media content, the iOS backup instead stores a list of what is supposed to be on your device, so that your apps and content can later be restored from iCloud and/or iTunes.
Note that this means that your application data actually gets restored before the applications themselves. This may seem counterintuitive, but it's simply the way that iOS works. Don't worry if it looks like your apps are being reinstalled from scratch; the data has already been restored from your backup and will be there waiting for the app.
From iTunes
After restoring a backup from iTunes, you simply need to leave your new device connected to your computer. It will reboot and iTunes will begin syncing everything onto your new device according to the sync settings stored in your backups. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more depending on how much content was on your old device.
Note that there's actually nothing special about this process—it's just a normal iTunes sync operation. So as with any other iTunes sync you can interrupt this process if necessary simply by disconnecting your device and resume it later and it will pick up where it left off.
Once this initial sync has completed, that's it and you're basically up and running with your new device, although you may still need to complete some of the iOS setup assistant steps as noted above.
From iCloud
After restoring a backup from iCloud, your applications will be re-downloaded and reinstalled directly from the App Store over the Internet. During this process, you will see greyed out app icons with progress indicators. By default your apps are downloaded and reinstalled in the same order in which they appear on your home screen, but you tap on the icon for a specific app to begin downloading it immediately.
Any iTunes-purchased music, movies, TV shows and iBooks that were stored on your other device will also be downloaded as part of this process. If you have subscribed to iTunes Match your entire music library will be available, including matched and uploaded items.
Anything that wasn't purchased from iTunes or isn't available via iTunes Match will need to be retransferred from iTunes. Your iTunes sync settings are restored from the iCloud backup, so simply plugging into iTunes and running a sync will transfer this content onto your new device.
Note that you can also speed up the process of reinstalling your purchased items simply by plugging the new device into your iTunes library. The items will switch over to syncing over the much faster USB connection rather than over-the-air via iCloud.
You can actually begin using your device as soon as it finishes rebooting while you wait for your apps and media content to arrive. Just be sure to leave the USB cable plugged in if you're restoring from iTunes or stay within Wi-Fi coverage if you're restoring from iCloud.
Caveats, Limitations and "Gotchas"
In the majority of cases, a simple device-to-device backup and restore should go off without a hitch, but there are of course always exceptions and special cases.
For security reasons, after restoring you will likely be prompted to re-enter your passwords for things like your iCloud account, iTunes Store account, mail accounts and Wi-Fi access points. These passwords are stored in the iOS keychain and encrypted using a device-specific key; since a new device has a different device-specific key, these items cannot be decrypted and are therefore unavailable when restoring a backup onto a new device.
iCloud Backup Settings
By default everything that can fit into your iCloud account is backed up, including photos and videos in your device's Camera Roll, device settings, application data, home screen and app organization, messages, ringtones and visual voicemails.
Keep in mind, however, that it is possible to disable the backing up of certain items. This needs to be done specifically, so chances are that you'll know if you've done so, but in case you want to check you can find the options in the Settings app under iCloud, Storage & Backup, Manage Storage. From here, you'll be shown a list of devices that are being backed up to your iCloud account; choose your current device and you'll see additional information about last backup time, backup size, and estimated next backup size along with a series of switches to turn off the backing up of specific applications and data.
When transferring to a new device, you'll want to ensure that all of these are ON unless there's something specific you really do not want copied over.
Podcasts and iTunes U
If you're using the new iOS Podcasts and/or iTunes U apps rather than syncing this content from your iTunes library, then this content can also be restored over-the-air via iCloud. In principle, these are just like any other iOS applications in that regard. If you're syncing Podcasts and/or iTunes U content from iTunes, regardless of whether you're using the specific iOS apps, you'll need to resync with your iTunes library to get that content back onto your device.
Restoring to a different type of device
As mentioned earlier, you can restore backups between different device types, such as from an iPhone to an iPad, or from an iPod touch to an iPhone. Restoring between the same or similar devices (e.g. iPod-to-iPhone and vice-versa) works fine, however Camera Roll photos and videos and home screen icon layouts will not be restored from an iPad backup onto an iPhone or iPod touch or from an iPhone or iPod touch backup onto an iPad.
Also, apps that are incompatible with the target device will not be restored. Most iPhone and iPod touch apps can be restored onto an iPad, however certain apps that are specifically compatible with the iPhone only will not be restored to an iPad or iPod touch. iPad-only apps will obviously not be restored to an iPhone or iPod touch either.
App Versions
The restore process will always attempt to reinstall whatever version of the app was originally installed on your device, even if a newer version is available. When restoring from iTunes, you'll simply get whatever version is stored in your iTunes library. When restoring from iCloud, iOS will attempt to download the same version of the app that was previously installed if it's still available on the App Store; otherwise the latest version is used.
Application Data and Caches
With the advent of iCloud backups and the inherent limitation of the free 5GB iCloud storage, many developers have been encouraged to exclude certain data from being backed up by iTunes. While the specifics are up to each developer, this generally includes data that is backed up somewhere else, such as caches and offline data in apps like Dropbox and Evernote and maps in apps like Navigon. Much like your apps and media content, the idea here is that there is no point in forcing a user to purchase more iCloud storage space to back up data that can be re-downloaded from elsewhere.
Basically, this means that after restoring your backup on a new device, some of these apps may need to go out and re-download or recache data themselves. How this is handled is basically up to each individual application, but the key point is to not be surprised if you find that some of your apps appear to be missing data that needs to be re-downloaded from their own cloud service.
iCloud Restore is Wi-Fi Only
Keep in mind that the iCloud restore procedure only works over Wi-Fi. You must be on a Wi-Fi network to start the process in the first place, and must remain on a Wi-Fi network to complete the restore, including the process of syncing your apps and content back onto your device. The restore will be paused if you move away from a Wi-Fi network and resumes when Wi-Fi access is once again available. While iOS does its best to handle these interruptions, it's far better if you have time to simply leave your device connected to a single Wi-Fi network until the entire process completes. Alternatively, you can simply plug into iTunes and copy your apps and media content from there if you find your Wi-Fi connection is untenably slow.
Failed Restore from iCloud
There are a few reasons why the second phase of the iCloud restore process can fail. If there are items that cannot be restored because they are no longer available on the App Store or iTunes Store, for example, you will receive a message that the restore is incomplete, suggesting that you sync those items from iTunes instead.
If you see a message that "Some items could not be restored from the iCloud backup" this generally indicates a problem restoring core backup data such as Camera Roll photos and videos or application data. This most often happens due to a poor or unreliable Wi-Fi network connection or moving between Wi-Fi networks during the initial restore process. You will usually be required to erase your device and try again from scratch.
Also note that the iCloud background restore process that reloads your apps and media content will run for up to three days. If all of your data has not been restored at that point you will receive a notification to this effect offering you the ability to try downloading your purchased items again. At this point, however, it's generally a better idea to simply try syncing your purchased content directly back on from iTunes.

If I just got my phone replaced, and I want to use it now, but I am not in an area of wifi. Can I set it up as a new phone instead of iCloud or iTunes right now to use it, and then still restore it later from iCloud and/or iTunes?

I just received a replacement iPhone4s to replace one with low earpiece volume. After a few attempts to transfer everything using iTunes, I finaly cleared the new phone and used iCloud. iTunes was restoring my apps in a jumbled fashion without app settings, and notes and email settings did not restore. The iCloud backup and restore process was far easier, restoring almost everything in one step. And that restore returned all apps to the same screen location, and all contacts, calendars, photos, email, and app settings settings were restored. I only had to enter the passwords for accounts when prompted. I have no music on the phone so I can't speak to restoring that. I strongly recommend using iCloud for transfering your data to a new phone.

I have followed these instructions, but what transferred to my new iPhone was not an exact copy of the old iPhone. The apps were all in different order and some of them that say they are "downloaded" aren't showing up on my phone. How do I find the icons/apps that are missing and restore them to the new phone? I can open them from the app store, but I can't download them because the app store and cloud both show they are "downloaded'.

iPhone Data Transfer is another choice which lets you copy sms, contacts, notes, bookmarks, songs, vidoes, photos and call log etc from old iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5 to your new iPhone 5S or iPhone 5S.
Most important is these data will be merged perfectly on your new iPhone. No data loss worry.
Best luck!

How do I transfer iPod Classic music data to my new Notebook computer which has iTunes 11 installed on it. There are about 1500 music files that amount to about 15.7 GB on this 160 GB iPod Classic. The older computer which had the original iTunes library was a Windows XP SP3 PC. I want to upgrade the iPod Classic to an iPhone5 or iPod Touch5 and be able to sync with the Notebook Windows 7 iTunes Library (currently empty). I've read the article on transferring content from one iOS device to another iOS device but am a bit confused about my particular situation.

I have bought a new iPhone 5s and am trying to get my music and tones from the back up to the new phone. I have done all you suggested and still no luck. The only music that is showing up is stuff I have bought since I have gotten the new phone. I was using iTunes (to my computer) for my backup and it shows all the tones I purchased but none of my previous music. Either way, I cannot get either to advance to my phone. Am I out of luck because of the new OS? or something else?
FYI the music is from CDs that I had on my computer and I just uploaded them to the phone. However, that was 2 computers ago. Do I have to do all that again? It should be in the backup on my new machine….right?
The current backup only does contacts, the calendar and apps to restore.
THANKS for any help.

JMateoW needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 73 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
We run a ranch rodeo where regular work-a-day cowboys compete for a lot of money.
People who like rodeo.
We need a solid conversion of a bronc ride pic into a stylized vector graphic. The goal will be ONE graphic, but we have a number of pictures that could be used as the source. The challenge is how to capture the energy of the ride (the horse, the cowboy) and use as few solid colors as possible and still get the personality and depth.
The BRONC RIDE #1 picture is famous in our rodeo's history. It was the winning ride from the first year. Notice how incredibly high the horse has jumped, and posture of the horse is unusual. Years later, people still talk about this ride. However, the angle of the horse head makes it graphically challenging. If someone was able to simulate this ride (per the picture) and rotate it or reposition the head to make it easier to convert, that would be a cool trick.
Using ANY of the attached photos would ensure that they are unique rides from our competition if they would afford a better look.
We tend to think that the design would require at least 4 colors, but fewer are welcome. We also are expecting monochromatic sets... probably earth tones, but the end result needs to work when converted to black-n-white, too. Using more than 4 colors is acceptable, but we're needing to find the balance between detail and boldness AS WELL AS something that can scale down to a fairly small size.
This is not a LOGO. Just a stylized rastor to vector conversion.

Flames win both games in home tournament
October 27, 2012 | Lynchburg, Va.
The Liberty Flames men's lacrosse team took the field for the first, and only, time this fall, winning two games in dominating fashion as it hosted the first Liberty Fall Shootout Tournament on Saturday, Oct. 27.
With 10 freshmen on the roster, it was important for Flames Head Coach Kyle McQuillan to see the new additions in action, and the new players did not disappoint. Liberty won both of its games by double-digit margins, 13-1 over crosstown rival Lynchburg College and 18-4 over Southern Virginia University.
In the Flames opener against the LC Hornets, freshman Ryan Miller led the way, scoring six goals. Junior and last season's leading scorer Kurt Tobias finished with a hat trick.
Liberty took the field again Saturday afternoon and faced the Knights of Southern Virginia, a team the Flames defeated 21-6 last season. The Flames continued its offensive fireworks display, scoring the first eight goals of the match.
Miller and Tobias each scored 4 goals in Liberty's second matchup. Bryce Mrakovich had a hat trick, John Ferris and Craig Darling finished with a pair of goals each, and Skylar Sipe added a goal to round out the scoring.
Liberty will officially kick off the regular season Feb. 16, 2013 as The Citadel makes the trek up to the Liberty Lacrosse Fields for a noon matchup.

dismissed as frivolous or malicious, for failure to state a
claim upon which relief may be granted, or because it seeks
monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such
relief. For the reasons set forth below it is clear from the
complaint that the claim arose more than two years before the
complaint was filed. It is therefore barred by the two-year
statute of limitations that governs claims of
unconstitutional conduct under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The
Court will therefore dismiss the complaint with prejudice for
failure to state a claim. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(b)(ii).

2012, "each time for several months before being
transferred to state prison." Complaint § III. He
further states: "Each times of my incarceration slept
on the floor in a room with 3 other inmates. These inmates
repeatedly step over top of me to use the toilet during the
night." Id. He further alleges that the units
were so crowded, he often had to stand to eat meals.
Id. He further alleges that the shower area was
dirty, law library time was limited, and the kitchen was
infested with mice. He further alleges that staph infections
and boils were common. Id.
1915(e)(2) requires a court to review complaints prior to
service of the summons and complaint in cases in which a
plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis. The Court
must sua sponte dismiss any claim that is frivolous,
is malicious, fails to state a claim upon which relief may be
granted, or seeks monetary relief from a defendant who is
immune from such relief. This action is subject to sua
sponte screening for dismissal under 28 U.S.C. §
1915(e)(2)(B) because Plaintiff is proceeding in forma
survive sua sponte screening for failure to state a claim,
the complaint must allege "sufficient factual
matter" to show that the claim is facially plausible.
Fowler v. UPMS Shadyside, 578 F.3d 203, 210 (3d Cir.
2009) (citation omitted). "A claim has facial
plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that

Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting
Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555
complaint alleges that he experienced unconstitutional
conditions of confinement while he was detained in the CCCF
in 2005, 2009 and 2012. Civil rights claims under § 1983
are governed by New Jersey's limitations period for
personal injury and must be brought within two years of the
claim's accrual. See Wilson v. Garcia, 471 U.S.
261, 276 (1985); Dique v. New Jersey State Police,
603 F.3d 181, 185 (3d Cir. 2010). "Under federal law, a
cause of action accrues 'when the plaintiff knew or
should have known of the injury upon which the action is
based.'" Montanez v. Sec'y Pa. Dep't of
Corr., 773 F.3d 472, 480 (3d Cir. 2014) (quoting
Kach v. Hose, 589 F.3d 626, 634 (3d Cir. 2009)).
allegedly unconstitutional conditions of confinement at CCCF,
namely the alleged overcrowding, would have been immediately
apparent to Plaintiff at the time of his detention;
therefore, the statute of limitations for Plaintiff's
claims expired in 2014 at the latest, well before this
complaint was filed in 2016. Plaintiff has filed his lawsuit
too late. Although the Court may toll, or extend, the statute
of limitations in the interests of justice, certain
circumstances must be present before it can do so. Tolling is
not warranted in this case because the state has not
"actively misled" Plaintiff as to the existence
of his cause of action, there are no extraordinary
circumstances that prevented Plaintiff from filing his claim,
and there is nothing to indicate Plaintiff filed his claim on
time but in the wrong forum. See Omar v. Blackman,
590 F.App'x 162, 166 (3d Cir. 2014).
As it
is clear from the face of the complaint that more than two
years have passed since Plaintiff's claims accrued, the
complaint is dismissed with prejudice, meaning he may not
file an amended complaint concerning the events of 2005,
2009, and 2012. Ostuni v. Wa Wa's Mart, 532

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
In his annual State of the Union address on Tuesday, US President Barack Obama defended the interim nuclear deal his administration brokered between Iran and Western powers, and threatened to use his executive authority against any attempts to derail it.
"Let me be clear: if this Congress sends me a new sanctions bill now that threatens to derail these talks, I will veto it," Obama told American legislators. "For the sake of our national security, we must give diplomacy a chance to succeed."
Meanwhile, Israel continues to argue that diplomacy has already been given a chance for the past 20 years, and has proved to be a failure in deterring Iran. Jerusalem sees Obama as supremely naive if he believes the temporary agreement reached in Geneva last November will lead to a different result this time around.
"This agreement merely set Iran back six weeks — no more — according to our assessments," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the annual conference of the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
Speaking at the same conference, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon said Israel sees the US-brokered Iran deal as "a historic missed opportunity."
In an interview with The Times of Israel, former National Security Advisor Uzi Arad echoed those sentiments.
"From Israel's perspective, the result [of the interim nuclear deal] is disappointing," said Arad. "They [the Iranians] will continue enriching [uranium] to a level they regard as permissible, until the opportunity arises when they decide to catch up easily. It's only a matter of time."
Indeed, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland last week, Iranian
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif pointed out that the Iran nuclear deal reached in Geneva a few months earlier had not required the Islamic Republic to dismantle a single piece of its nuclear program.
"If you find a single, a single word, that even closely resembles dismantling or could be defined as dismantling in the entire text, then I would take back my comment," Zarif told CNN. "We are not dismantling any centrifuges, we're not dismantling any equipment, we're simply not producing, not enriching [uranium] over 5%."
Of course, that means Iran can just as easily turn the nuclear program back on at any given time, and be right back on track in a matter of weeks, as Netanyahu warned.
A survey of American voters prior to Obama's speech was carried out by the Mellman Group on behalf of the Israel Project, and found that a majority of Americans agree with Israel on this matter.
Over 66 percent of respondents gave a negative score to Obama's handling of the Iran nuclear affair. Most Americans would have preferred their government to only ease sanctions after Iran had actually dismantled its ability to produce weapons-grade uranium, an outcome that Israel, too, could have supported.

On top of this, a first look at the much speculated Vortex Diatron, sporting the same colour schemes as the Pyragon. Also shows this new "Multishot MADNESS" feature logo on the packaging that's also featured on the Rough Cut.
So now the question remains: Which one(s) are on your hot list for the new year and why? More images of the N-Strike Elite gear and official blurb after the jump.
Thanks to all the emails we got on this, we'll give it to L Corijns for being the first:)
Nerf Vortex Diatron
Are you ready to bring some multishot madness to your next mission? The Diatron blaster lets you send 2 discs hurtling toward your target at the same time with every shot. Firing this fast is no problem, because the blaster's built-in drop-down magazine snaps open for fast, easy reloading. The blaster's Tactical Rail is compatible with any Tactical Rail accessory (sold separately) so you can upgrade at will for even more strategic advantage. The blaster's revolutionary XLR Disc Tech hurls the bright orange Vortex discs an ultra-long distance. Blast your target with double firepower to outfire your opponent. Diatron blaster fires 2 discs at once. Load your blaster with the 8 included discs. Snap open the drop-down magazine for quick reload. Magazine holds 10 discs. Blaster's revolutionary XLR Disc Tech hurls the bright orange Vortex discs an ultra-long distance. Pull the priming lever and then push it in to load 2 discs. Upgrade with any Tactical Rail accessory (sold separately).
Box Contains 1 x Blaster comes 8 x discs instructions
Our thoughts
We're liking the fact it also has the tactical rails and an ability to attach a stock, which will definitely add a 'tacticool' element to it. Also glad it's sporting the same colour scheme as the Pyragon and comes with the Red XLR discs. A very futuristic looking blaster. We're keen.
Nerf N-Strike Elite Stryfe
Our thoughts
I'm a real fan of the secondary tactical rail under the muzzle, allowing for a tactical light or bipod. Also allows for a stock attachment. Looks like it also allows for a barrel attachment. Could look very SMG looking. Looks like they've taken on board design cues from those who modded their Barricades to support clips.
Nerf N-Strike Elite Rough Cut 2x4
Product Description
Slam into battle with the double-barreled domination of the Rough Cut 2X4 blaster. This sleek blaster lets you launch 2 Elite Darts at once at targets up to 75 feet away, and the pump-action design lets you pump repeatedly to unleash a steady double stream of darts. Launch up to 8 Elite Darts without reloading. As with most N-Strike blasters, the Tactical Rail lets you add most N-Strike Tactical Rail accessories (sold separately) for more battle capability. Power up the multishot madness of the Rough Cut 2X4 blaster and get ready to dominate with both barrels
Box Contains 1 x Blaster comes 8 x Elite Darts 1 x instructions
Our thoughts
We love pump action cocking mechanisms and we've always been a fan of the N-Strike Barrel Break IX-2, so we're really happy this one's coming out. Two at a time darts consecutively with each priming makes it finally BE that much desirable shot gun. Looks tough too. Note this box art features the "75ft" distances vs the "20m" UK metric system label.
Complete your mission even in the shadows with the Firestrike blaster. This compact blaster's precision light beam targeting gives you laser-like focus even in low-light conditions. Activate the Light Beam Trigger to zero in on targets up to 15 feet away. The Firestrike blaster launches Elite Darts up to 75 feet. As with most N-Strike blasters, the Tactical Rail lets you add most N-Strike Tactical Rail accessories (sold separately) for more battle capability. Power up the Light Beam on your Firestrike blaster and get ready to take out your target with one shot.
Box Contains 1 x Blaster 3 x Elite Darts instructions
Our thoughts
Great looking Nitefinder successor; we're a real fan of the design of this one. Nice and compact, I'm guessing it's going to be pretty popular with aesthetic modders. Note this box art features the "75ft" distances vs the "20m" UK metric system label.

"Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the landing, holding a bowl of lather on which a glass and a razor were crossed."
This is not the first sentence of James Joyce's modernist masterpiece Ulysses. But one day it could be. Maybe. Joyce's book actually begins like this:
"Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed."
I changed just three words in that first version of Ulysses' opening, "stairhead", "holding," and "mirror," but that might well be enough to catch a pirate, according to DRM researchers at Germany's Darmstadt Technical University. As I have discussed previously, DRM, which stands for Digital Rights Management, is any form of software that protects the copyright of digital books. Some software prevents piracy, other software alerts those charged with stopping it.
SiDiM, the radical new DRM software being developed by the aforementioned researchers with support from the German government, would achieve the latter. By making subtle changes to a book's text, punctuation, or formatting, SiDiM would effectively "watermark" a digital book, making that book unique and therefore identifiable to agencies tracking pirates.
Researchers maintain that this is a consumer friendly version of DRM because it wouldn't prevent sharing a book between devices or tether it to a specific account, but the prospect of altering a book's text, however imperceptible, makes my skin crawl. How would you know you are reading what the author intended? The process is said to be automated, so what's the guarantee the changes are slight, or even imperceptible?
I am always curious as to how new technologies will change the way we write (did the telegraph shorten our sentences? what will the SMS do??) but this kind of software, which literally changes the text, seems comically dystopic. Certainly writers need protections if their works are to circulate digitally. Author Phillip Pullman recently pointed out how much money authors stand to lose if they aren't compensated when their books are borrowed, and he makes a good case.
What sort of protections do we want as writers and what sort do we want as readers? There is surely a balance to be found, but my guess is that it will be less intrusive than the vision advanced by SiDiM.

Film poster from the time
Totò al Giro d' Italia is an Italian comedy released in 1948 when cycling was very popular. A Faustian bargain is made with a professor who will marry a beauty contest winner, only if he wins the Giro. At one point in the film, the racers wonder how they professor is doing so well, what was his secret, and having seen him smoking a cigar, at the start of the next stage they all began to smoke.
In the scene ,legends Coppi and Bartali puff on huge Tuscan cigars.

(NewsUSA) – Among the marvels of modern medicine are neural prosthetics, tiny bioengineered devices that surgeons implant in brain tissue to compensate for a variety of disabilities to the human nervous system. Physicians already have had much success with cochlear implants for the hearing impaired, with future research programs aimed at assisting epileptics, victims of Alzheimer's disease, and even individuals who have sustained spinal cord injury and loss of limbs.
Neuroscientists see a vast horizon for these micro implants, which are able to read electrical and chemical signals from the nervous system to stimulate sensory function lost through disease or injury. What the amazing devices do is avoid the damaged neural lines of communication in the body to restore function. In the case of the cochlear prosthetics, for example, sounds gathered from a tiny microphone are converted to electrical signals and used to stimulate the auditory nerve of deaf patients.
Neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, materials scientists, and mechanical engineers are all collaborating on the research and development of neural prosthetics, which each year receive $6.5 million in funding at the National Institutes of Health.
Engineers play a significant role in the interdisciplinary research and development of neural prosthetics. Engineers will be called on to make innovative use of materials to design and fabricate devices that allow sustained electronic functioning in the environment of the human body, without causing tissue infection or other serious conditions. Research efforts have focused on technologies that enable the micro devices to be safely implanted in human tissue for long periods. Sarah Felix, a research engineer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), is making gains with thin-film flexible polymer materials that allow devices to conform to the live tissue in which they are implanted.
Lawrence Livermore is currently developing neural implants that are able to restore auditory, motor and bladder function, aid speech, and control depression and epilepsy. Future programs at the lab include experimentation with deep brain and spinal cord simulation, which will enable physicians to advance neural prosthetics to the next level of human health and rehabilitation.
Promising clinical studies are underway at some of the most prestigious medical research centers in the U.S. as the scientific community continues to advance neural prosthetics to help disabled persons achieve quality of life. Indeed, neural prosthetics will be an intriguing pathway of multidisciplinary scientific and engineering development for years to come.

I didn't know anyone who lived in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina hit, but just before she and the flood that followed laid waste to large portions of the city, I'd purchased an issue of the now defunct Cottage Living Magazine. I read about a couple that had refurbished their adorable, little shotgun-style cottage in the Ninth Ward, bringing it back from its crack house days. Having just done a major renovation on my Denver bungalow (bringing it back from its own crack house days), I felt a kinship with that couple. When Katrina and then Rita hit, I went to the magazine's online forum to inquire about the couple and their house. The house had survived Katrina with minimal damage, but with Rita, they weren't so lucky.
I wondered about that couple and whether they would (once again) rebuild their adorable little house. It's hard to imagine how it all must have felt, especially knowing how much effort they put into their first rebuilding. Unfortunately it's an effort many across this country are making and will continue to make as we face natural disasters like tornadoes, floods and hurricanes, which, more and more, seem to be occurring at record-setting, historic levels.
It can be overwhelming to see photos of destruction from natural disasters, especially when towns and cities get wiped out. Often however, destruction has been seen as opportunity.
Kevin Rosario, in his Wall St. Journal article, traces the impacts of major disasters on hubs of civilizations throughout history and illustrates how communities often improve tremendously in periods of re-growth following major disasters. Large-scale disasters often produce fairly significant benefits in terms of infrastructure improvements and economic growth.
Unfortunately, post-disaster development can also have disastrous effects on the environment and the poor who are often forced out of their homes and neighborhoods in the name of progress and rebuilding. According to Rosario, "The social and environmental costs of development have been rendered invisible by dominant articulations of American progress."
And, the disaster-as-gold rush paradigm is shifting. The country is no longer quite as willing as it once was to rush into rebuilding disaster-impaired communities. As Rosario points out:
In an age of energy crises, terrorist attacks, global warming and global financial instability, progress no longer seems quite so inevitable. Disasters increasingly present themselves as manifestations of a catastrophic world rather than as instruments of improvement.
Unfortunately, we've stacked the deck against ourselves. There are now more people and more structures in natural disaster prone areas than ever before. And because we show no signs of reversing carbon emissions in any meaningful way, we should expect crazy weather patterns to be the norm rather than the exception, suggesting that we should be prepared for a future filled with post-disaster rebuilding.
Let's face facts - there aren't many areas of the country that are not subject to some sort of natural disaster, whether they be floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes or even droughts. Damage could be minimized by moving communities out of places like floodplains and coastlines, or not building there to begin with. But of course, we have already built hundreds, maybe thousands, of communities in such areas and in the United States, we expend major resources to engineer our way out of trouble.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers excels at this. Nature has become the new enemy. During this year's efforts to mitigate flooding, they even referred to the campaign as the "2011 Flood Fight." It certainly would behoove us to become much less combative and figure out how to start working with nature.
What, then, is the opportunity that lies before us if we are to face a tumultuous future? The answer is sustainable development. With our population in the United States racing towards 400 million by 2050, we have an opportunity to build (and rebuild) sustainable communities.
Greensburg, Kansas is an excellent example of this. After the entire town was wiped out by an F5 tornado in 2007, town residents made the bold decision to "rebuild Greensburg as a living example of sustainability and responsibility," thereby creating the world's first eco-town. All public buildings were to be constructed to LEED Platinum standards (the highest level rating). To spur growth, the town turned itself into an incubator for new sustainable businesses.
The town's rebuilding hasn't been without issues. Contractors unfamiliar with environmental requirements have caused delays and residents have faced frustration over the slow rate of progress. Also, while you can move away from a flood plain, towns like Greensburg lie in tornado alley--which covers a wide swath of the country--so the town lives with the constant threat of being wiped out by another tornado. In a year filled with heavy tornado activity, it's easy to imagine that the possibility must be on every resident's mind.
Apparently, though, the people of Greensburg have been able to look past these issues and have chosen sustainability as a driving force for their redevelopment. As communities like Tuscaloosa and Joplin and those affected by flooding in the Mississippi River basin begin their own redevelopment, let's hope they too choose sustainability. Let's hope that residents of those communities understand that redevelopment is no longer strictly a business opportunity but also a social and environmental commitment. Let's hope they understand that the sustainable option can also become a profitable option.
One thing America can be confident in is its ability to face and overcome challenges – to rebuild. Although natural disasters come at great costs, let's take the opportunities that they provide us and redefine our exceptionalism. Let's build a sustainable future that can withstand uncertainties.

Anti-rust product poisoning occurs when someone breathes in or swallows anti-rust products. These products may be accidentally breathed in (inhaled) if they are used in a small, poorly ventilated area, such as a garage.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Poisonous Ingredient
Anti-rust agents contain different poisonous substances, including:
- Chelating agents
- Hydrocarbons
- Hydrochloric acid
- Nitrites
- Oxalic acid
- Phosphoric acid
Where Found
- Various anti-rust products
- Eyes, ears, nose, and throat
- Loss of vision
- Severe pain in the throat
- Severe pain or burning in the nose, eyes, ears, lips, or tongue
- Gastrointestinal
Blood in the stool
- Burns of the food pipe (esophagus)
- Severe
abdominal pain
- Vomiting
Vomiting blood
- Heart and blood
- Collapse
Low blood pressure Methemoglobinemia(very dark blood from abnormal red blood cells)
- Too much or too little acid in the blood, which leads to damage in all of the body organs
- Kidneys
Kidney failure
- Lungs and airways
- Breathing difficulty
- Throat swelling (may also cause breathing difficulty)
- Skin
- Burns
- Irritation
- Holes (necrosis) in the skin or tissues underneath
Home Treatment
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider. Do NOT give water or milk if the patient is having symptoms (such as vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness) that make it hard to swallow.
If the person breathed in the poison, immediately move him or her to fresh air.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition
- Name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. You may receive:
- Breathing tube
- Bronchoscopy — camera down the throat to see burns in the airways and lungs
- Endoscopy — camera down the throat to see burns in the esophagus and the stomach
- Fluids by IV
- Methylene blue, a medicine (antidote) to reverse the effect of the poison
- Oxygen
- Surgical removal of burned skin (skin debridement)
- Tube through the mouth into the stomach to wash out the stomach (
gastric lavage)
- Washing of the skin (irrigation) — perhaps every few hours for several days
Expectations (prognosis)
How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster you get medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Swallowing such poisons can have severe effects on many parts of the body. Damage continues to occur to the kidneys, liver, esophagus, and stomach for several weeks after the substance was swallowed. The outcome depends on this damage.

How to use a binary options demo account
A binary options demo account how to use a binary options demo account a place where you can practice trading binary options. You can trade in real time with real assets and see how your skills translate into the real world. The demo account platform allows you to take the broker of your choice out for a test ride, seeing all that they how to use a binary options demo account to feature, but without yet risking your money.
Demo account trading is just like real trading, only without the potential for losses. There are a few different ways to learn how to be a better trader. However, in any field, experience is one of the best teachers you can find. No, experience is not a perfect teacher, especially if you start out with erroneous beliefs or strategiesbut when done right, it is far better than any other method.
Unfortunately, in the world of finance, real world experience often comes at a very steep price. Your capital is at risk. When you begin trading starting out with real money, you are putting yourself at a huge disadvantage. Without the proper amount of practiceyou might get lucky, or you might lose everything. It takes a how to use a binary options demo account to get good enough at binary options trading to be worthwhile over the long term. And when you have a demo trading account, you can give yourself the potential to speed up the learning process.
The learning curve for trading binary trading is steep. Studies have shown that fewer than 5 percent of short term traders are successful over the long term. Without a practice account, you are throwing yourself into the water without learning first how to swim, and almost ensuring that you end up in that majority of traders who are unsuccessful. If you want to be as successful as possiblehaving a good working knowledge of what you need to do from the beginning of your trading career is going to help you.
Your odds of making money in the early stages of your real money trading go way up. By no means is this a guarantee that you will make money, but it is a step in the right direction. Today, only a handful of brokers do not offer a demo account. The requirements for getting a demo account will vary a bit from site to site, though. In most cases you will need to open a real account first.
The broker just wants to see that you are committed to trading. They might even ask you to fund your account before you can have access to a practice demo account. If, after using their demo trading service you decide that the broker is not right for you, you can simply withdraw your money and it will go back to your bank or credit card. There are a lot of different brokers out there, and not all are going to be how to use a binary options demo account for you.
By using the demo trading first, you can test out a specific strategyget a feel for how it works, make some fine tuning adjustments to it, and then apply it in a real-life setting when it is time to demo trade. How to use a binary options demo account beginning traders think that after a few days of demo trading they are ready to jump in how to use a binary options demo account start trading.
This simply is not the case. The main problem here is that many brokers severely limit how to use a binary options demo account amount of demo trading that you can do. Some brokers allow you to keep a demo account open for only 72 hours before forcing you to make a decision on whether you are going to trade with real money or not.

While Joseph Stalin might have played a part in the eventual Allied victory that was precipitated by the actions of June 6, 1944, having his bust at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford does more harm than good. Yes, Stalin was the leader of Russia, an ally to the invasion, but he was also much more — a murderer of millions as the Soviet dictator. His place in the history of World War II can be told at the Memorial without the bust. His bust at the Memorial muddies the message of why the Memorial exists.
Stalin not
honored by bust
As volunteer at the National D-Day Memorial, I would like to hopefully help clear up a misconception concerning the bust of Joseph Stalin which is still causing quite a flap locally and even abroad.
The bust, in no way honors Stalin.
Last week, in a rare showing of bipartisanship in Washington, the House of Representatives joined forces to pass common-sense reforms related to mortgages and housing loans. The Federal Housing Administration Reform Act, which sailed through the House nearly unanimously, will encourage responsible homeownership for those who can afford it, while rooting out and cracking down on lenders who make risky or fraudulent loans.
During last week's congressional district work period, I spent time talking with business owners, workers, job seekers, and others about what we can do to turn our economy around. I cherish my time here because I never want to lose touch with the challenges and needs of the families who sent me to Washington to work for them. These conversations help supply me with many good ideas that I can take back to Washington.
Just last week the U.S. Treasury Department issued its "Annual Report on Public Debt" which confirmed that the national debt will soar to record levels. The report estimates that the total debt for fiscal year 2010 will reach $14.75 trillion which is over 93 percent of our gross domestic product (GDP). This current rate of government spending is having a crippling effect on our economy and overall job creation.
It's not a secret that corporations are greedy, often contemptuous of workers, and always, always put profits before anything else. That's nothing new. But the BP oil spill is a corporate crime that has no match anywhere else in the world.
I saw the Stalin bust when I was at the D-Day Memorial for the 66th D-Day anniversary commemoration. I also read the plaque that goes with it. It states:
Less than two weeks ago Bedford County Public Schools honored the district's top teachers: Katherine West of Staunton River Middle School as the county's top teacher overall; Amy Mallow of Huddleston Elementary as the county's top elementary teacher; and Shawn Marie Horrell of Bedford Science and Technology Center as the top high school teacher. All three are deserving of their awards and they stand as true examples of the great quality of teachers this school system's 10,500 students find on a daily basis in their classrooms.
The Magnificent Seven rides again
The Magnificent Seven (I'm referring to the seven members of Bedford City Council) along with the City Manager are moving along over Bedford city's determination to revert back to town status. Maybe its a good thing we don't know. All proceedings are secret and they are not going to tell us anything. It's all a secret.
Last week, we scored three major and long overdue victories for American workers. First, we closed the tax loophole that encourages corporations to ship jobs overseas. Second, we made investments in job creation by extending successful tax credits that support small business, research and development, biofuels, and workforce development. And third, we passed the America COMPETES Act that provides a big boost to the next generation of American manufacturing and agriculture. We also protected payments to doctors who participate in Medicare and veteran health care programs.
The Federal Trade Commission recently estimated that as many as 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. Identity thieves use identifying information such as a consumer's Social Security number, credit card numbers, or other financial account information in order to conduct such fraud as opening up new credit cards and gaining access to bank accounts. The ramifications can be financially disastrous for citizens and can be extremely difficult to resolve.
BEDFORD - - D-Day this year turned out to be hot and stormy. Some of the Democrats inside the city's party headquarters Sunday on Main Street had already heard their congressman, Tom Perriello, speak earlier at this year's D-Day Memorial ceremonies.
I don't yet know, as of this writing, who won yesterday's Republican primary. There is one thing I do know, however: 5th Congressional District conservatives will need to unite behind the winner if they hope to unseat Congressman Tom Perriello in November.
If they don't want to see Perriello back for another two years, Republican establishment types and TEA Party people are going to have to reconcile. The equivalent of a divorce will only give Perriello an easy path to reelection.
Take Pride in SML thank you
Each year for the past 22 years, the residents and friends of Smith Mountain Lake, our Community, have used the first Saturday of May as an annual "Take Pride in Smith Mountain Lake" cleanup day to make sure that our lake looks its very best for our Summer use and also for our visitors. It's important for our businesses and also for our own enjoyment of the lake.
Next week, Republicans in Virginia's Fifth Congressional District will choose a nominee to face a Democratic congressman considered one of the "most vulnerable" incumbents in the country.
Numerous GOP candidates have emerged from various places in the district to win the nod against Tom Perriello, who beat the seemingly unbeatable Virgil Goode two years ago by less than one thousand votes.
A few years ago a visit by a delegation from the local American Legion post should have served warning on Dr. William McIntosh that a proposed bust of Joseph Stalin at the National D-Day Memorial would not be well received. He and the D-Day Memorial Foundation chose to proceed with the plan anyway. Jim Morrison's well written column in last week's Bedford Bulletin indicated why so many veterans are upset about that decision.
Today, the American people are facing one of the most challenging times in our nation's history. Our economy remains sluggish, people fear losing their jobs and their homes, and many are worried about the future their children and grandchildren will inherit. They are deeply concerned about the outlook for our great country and wonder if their children will grow up in the same America they did. People are looking for solutions to the problems we face.
You've got to wonder just what's going on at the White House and its administration these days, as well as with the Democrats in Congress.
The administration continues to attack Arizona's new illegal immigration law without actually reading it, apologizes to world leaders of communist countries for "human rights violations" in this country and then applauds leaders who stand in our own halls of Congress to denounce this great country.
Against the
My husband and I have visited the National D-Day Memorial several times and we are still moved by what we see and by what was sacrificed by many young Americans during World War II.
Installing a bust of Stalin is totally against the mission of the memorial. We are almost moved to tears when we see the soldiers pulling themselves up the steep cliffs and crawling through the water to defend the United States in that D-Day landing.
When I came to Congress last year, I promised to fight for economic relief for my constituents, but also to change the way business is done in Washington. For far too long, both parties have answered to the special interests instead of to the people. Sometimes it can seem like Congress is not bound by the same rules as everyone else. It's time to bring Main Street values of decency, openness, and accountability to the halls of Washington.

The New York Times has an interview up with the new president of the Entertainment Software Association, Michael D. Gallagher. As president of the game industry's top lobbying group, Gallagher states that he wants to improve the image of games and gameplayers on Capitol Hill, as well as continue a policy of strict self-regulation and monitoring so as to preclude the need for federal oversight in these areas. Gallagher cited the ESRB's decision to give Manhunt 2 an Adults Only (AO) rating as proof of strong internal oversight, and believes the best way for the industry to continue to function is to retain such control.
Gallagher came to the office with extensive experience as a lobbyist and a Washington Beltway-insider, but he's also a gamer. In that respect, Gallagher reflects the changing demographic of games and gamers, as evidenced by his statements on the topic:
"The average video-game player is 33 years old and has been playing for an average of 12 years," Mr. Gallagher said. "It is not something you do as a phase in your childhood and leave it behind. Now it's a part of your entertainment culture."
Interestingly, one of Gallagher's other key issues is the lack of "presence" video games have on Capitol Hill. He sees this partly as a slowly-shifting age demographic, with older Congressman less likely to have ever gamed, but also as a problem caused by the ESA's lack of lobbying power. Although the ESA's $20 million budget is small compared to other Washington lobbying firms, he sees participation in the federal electoral process as one way in which to influence these issues, and has stated that he believes contribution in these areas to be "a very important part of our success going forward."

Rarely a day goes by without some sort of Kardashian drama. This time, it's Kourtney Kardashian and longtime love Scott Disick who are reportedly having some serious relationship troubles. If true, this could be the beginning of the end for the parents of two.
According to Star Magazine, Scott has been spotted out flirting with two hot blondes at a London bar. He had spent a few days there with the entire Kardashian clan but refused to travel on with them to Greece. Of course Kourtney wasn't happy with his decision, because she thought he would be by her side helping out with the kids. But what could she do? She jetted off with her family and Scott stayed behind for a little alone time. The next night, he hit the town, partying with the gorgeous girls, said Star sources, and he left the club with one on each arm. No word on what happened to the trio after that.
How does that saying go -- when the cat's away, the mouse will play. This isn't the first time Scott has gotten flirty behind Kourtney's back and this probably won't be the last. But it seems like this couple has a simple rule in play -- he can look (even leer) but he can't touch. And what's so wrong with that? He's human after all, at least I think he is. He does have that plastic, slimy Ken doll thing going on though.
He did eventually join Kourtney and the kids in Greece, which hopefully made her happy. I just feel bad for this young mom. With two kids to raise, she is in need of a mature partner to help her parent. It doesn't seem as though Scott is always up for that role.
Do you think Kourtney should dump Scott?

The YouTube feature I mentioned a few days ago is publicly available: YouTube automatically generates pages that list the most recent videos embedded in a blog.
"By crawling web feeds of sites that have embedded videos, we've built dedicated pages that highlight your embedded videos. This means that there is now a place on YouTube to find videos mentioned on your favorite blogs & sites," explains YouTube's blog.
You can find pages for blogs like Engadget, Boing Boing, Google OS and the nice thing is that the URL is easy to guess. Unfortunately, the pages don't have feeds and you can't follow them.
For now, you'll find links to these pages next to some videos in a section called "as seen on". Instead of linking to a popular page that embeds the video, YouTube now links to a page with the most recent YouTube videos from the site.

Wow. Can everyone please just take a deep breath?
We're only five days into the season, shortened as it may be, and people are treating it as if it's a normal mid-January and these first 2-3 games represent the 34 games that aren't going to be played this year. It's like some kind of phantom season syndrome.
Well, stop it everyone. The rest of the hockey season is gone. It was amputated due to gang-greed!
So instead of thinking of this like a normal January, think of it more like you would October. Would anyone really be talking about the Canucks missing the playoffs if they went 0-1-1 to start the season? No! You would all be thinking, "Hey, we got one out of four possible points! What an improvement!"
But instead, all around the league, you have hyperbolic over-reactions…
Has your team won a couple of games to kick off this short season? Yeah, well big deal. Toronto went 3-0 to start the season last year and they were pretty much out of it by the New Year.
Has your team lost a couple of games out of the gate? I'm looking at you, NY Rangers. Well, relax. You're a consensus pick to win the Cup, so don't worry. It'll all work out. Or maybe it won't. There's a lot of hockey to be played between now and then. The point is there's no need to panic at this point. Just as there's not need to start planning the parade route, right Oilers' fans.
Even right here in Vancouver, it didn't take long for nearly everyone to hit the panic button after the horrendous start to the season that was the 7-3 gong show on Saturday night. Front and foremost, of course, is the one thing that Vancouver Canucks' fans can always be counted on to blow completely out of proportion: goaltending. It doesn't matter if we don't have good enough goaltending, or too much good goaltending, it's going be an issue either way:
Nice to see the fanbase, at least, is in mid-season form.
Other than this hyperbolic hyperbole to start the season, everything else seems to be getting back business as usual. It looks like staged fights are still a thing in the NHL. Yay… yeah, not so much.
On Twitter, the Sporting News' Jesse Spector took issue with two fights as the puck dropped to start the NY Islanders' home opener at the Coliseum versus the Tampa Bay Lightning. Puck Daddy's Greg Wyshynski quickly jumped to the defense of staged fights, and probably should have been ejected for being third-man in:
@jessespector Besides setting a tone for either team, they're entertaining in moderation. And this is, you know, the entertainment industry
— Greg Wyshynski (@wyshynski) January 21, 2013
But really, did that game need to be more entertaining? The Lighting clawed back from a 4-0 deficit to produce a nail-biting finish as the home team hung on for a 4-3 victory. Isn't that entertainment enough? Surely, that's why people bought tickets to: a hockey game.
But whatever. If this really is just about "entertainment," I think the Islanders missed a great opportunity to make that game even more entertaining:
They do play in the Coliseum, after all.
Over at Hockey Night in Canada, the more things change the more they stay the same. PPP has a good run down of the changes to the format for the intermission
clusterf#$k panel discussion. The best part of that whole panel discussion, however, was Eliotte Friedman trying to explain the concept of zone starts to PJ Stock.
There's a lesson in this for all you bloggers out there. If you ever want to get out of your mom's basement, give up on fancy stats, and put on some fancy pants:
Although, I guess in P.J. Stock's case, that should be Big Boy pants. Or should it be poopy pants? I dunno, guess it depends. (There's a PJs/pyjamas joke in there too, but I'm saving that one for another time.)
Finally, I can't sing off this week without coming back to Canuckland and comment on the latest twisty turn in the Roberto Luongo trade saga.
Unless you were hiding under a rock, you would have heard that Mike Gillis dropped another bombshell in an interview with the Vancouver Sun's Cam Cole:
We have a potential deal in place with one team that has to do something with another player that they have — and it's not who anybody thinks it is — and so we have to wait.
CanucksArmy's very own Dear Leader, Thomas Drance, made the case that this was essentially a meaningless quote that really didn't offer anything new or of substance. I, on the other hand, have come to the conclusion that it really is a bombshell. The more I deconstructed what Gillis actually said and overlayed it onto the situations facing each of the thirty NHL teams, the more it all became obviously clear:
Now it's all starting to make sense!
