Strong second period helps Rangers down struggling 'Canes
Raleigh, NC – Derek Stepan, Ryan Callahan and Rick Nash all scored during a second-period barrage that propelled the New York Rangers to a 4-1 win over the fading Carolina Panthers at PNC Arena.
Stepan and Nash also notched an assist to support a season-high 48-save effort from Henrik Lundqvist as the Rangers picked up two critical points. New York remained tied with the rival Islanders for the final two playoff seeds in the Eastern Conference entering its final 10 regular-season games.
Brian Boyle finished off the victory, which upped the Rangers to 3-0-1 over their last four outings, with an empty-net tally right before the final horn sounded.
"It was a great win, and Hank played great," Boyle remarked. "The big boys made some big plays in the second period. And Hank? He's the King!"
Zac Dalpe recorded the lone goal against Lundqvist, who outdueled counterpart Dan Ellis to deal the Hurricanes a fourth straight loss and 11th defeat in 12 games.
"That's a lot of rubber at the net for a team, and (Lundqvist) came up with some big saves," Hurricanes head coach Kirk Muller stated. "I don't know what more our guys can do. There were great scoring chances. We asked them to go to the net, get second and third rebounds. We did everything you're supposed to do, and were only able to beat him once."
Ellis stopped 27-of-30 shots before being pulled after two periods. Justin Peters finished with eight saves in relief.
Neither team scored during a fast-paced first period that featured a combined 26 shots, but the Rangers tallied three times in the second to break the game open.
The first two came within a span of 31 seconds.
With New York on a power play, Brad Richards led a rush up the ice before delivering a backhand centering feed that Stepan one-timed while all alone in front exactly two minutes into the frame.
Shortly after the ensuing faceoff, Stepan dumped the puck down the left boards and Nash stole it away from Ellis with the Carolina netminder leaving the crease. The playmaking wing promptly found Callahan for an easy tap-in into the vacated net to quickly put the Rangers up by a 2-0 count.
Nash made it a three-goal differential on New York's next power-play chance, taking a pass from Mats Zuccarello and skating into the middle before spinning around and whipping a wrister past Ellis' stick side 8:41 prior to the second intermission.
Lundqvist made the lead stand by backing up a 14-save first period with 14 more in the second, but lost his shutout near the midway mark of the final session after Carolina capitalized on a Rangers' giveaway.
The turnover led to a Hurricanes' charge that ended when Dalpe fired a give from Jeff Skinner by the reigning Vezina Trophy recipient with 10:33 left to play.
It was the only blemish against Lundqvist, who turned back 20 more shots during a busy third period to cap off an outstanding performance.
"It was a helluva game," said Richards of Lundqvist's effort. "Obviously where our energy level was tonight, we needed him to do that. I don't know where we would have been without him."
Peters was pulled for an extra attacker with around 1:30 left to play, enabling Boyle to score with one second still on the clock after forcing a turnover in the Carolina zone.
Game Notes
Dalpe had been recalled from the Hurricanes' AHL affiliate in Charlotte prior to the game ... Alexander Semin, Carolina's leader in assists (26) this season, sat out the contest due to an upper-body injury ... The Hurricanes have now dropped seven straight at PNC Arena, the club's longest home skid since an 0-6-0-1 mark from Dec. 27-Jan. 20, 2003 ... The Rangers recorded their seventh consecutive victory over Carolina and improved to 23-6-3 in their last 32 matchups against Southeast Division foes. That includes an 8-3-1 mark this season ... Stepan has now registered three goals and three assists during a four-game point streak ... New York moved to 12-2-1 when scoring first this season and 11-0-0 when leading after two periods.

We seek collaboration to find out what corporations can and should do to preserve biodiversity.
Dr. Naoki Adachi
Executive Director of JBIB
C.E.O. of Response Ability Inc. PhD
in plant science
Collaboration among different industries:
financial, electricity, housing, construction, etc.
Japan Business Initiative for Conservation and Sustainable Use of Biodiversity (JBIB)
is a cross-sector organization started with 14 companies in April 2008. Its purpose is essentially to encourage collaboration among member companies in active efforts geared toward biodiversity conservation. In the first year, the number of member companies increased to 24 (as of April 2009). Although often mistaken, JBIB is not an organization created as a preparation measure for the COP10 in 2010
The 10th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP10) is scheduled for 2010 in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture in Japan's Tokai Region.
Identifies the relationship between corporate activities and biodiversity and uses knowledge in conservation
As a company with more than 10 years of experience in ecosystem conservation, Ricoh has been taking leadership in member activities as well as in the R&D section. In R&D, impacts of business activities on biodiversity are identified, and the " Map of Corporate Activities and Biodiversity " was developed as a tool to be used inside and outside the company to show the relationships between businesses and biodiversity. By reading the map, people can easily understand how the ecosystem and their business activities are related—harvesting agricultural and fishery products for food manufacturing companies, or mining of coal and iron ore for the steel industry, for example, are related. Now we are moving to the next step to assess the level of impact and develop a tool to start specific activities. As indicated in the Three Ps Balance, Ricoh has been carrying out ecosystem conservation projects in different parts of the world in the belief that Ricoh's businesses depend on the health of the global environment. This is a unique situation not seen in any other corporation. I hope Ricoh will continue assessing the impact of each part of their business activities, such as procurement and water use, to carry out effective activities. I believe they can set a leading example of essential biodiversity conservation activities for other corporations to follow.

Ron Guth: The total mintage for all 1853 Half Dimes was over 13 million pieces, an enormous increase over any previous year. The reason for this increase was a change in the laws that reduced the weight of the Half Dimes. This meant that all of the old silver coins still in circulation were worth more than their face value, thus they needed to be recalled and reminted at the new, lower weight. To denote the weight change, the Mint added arrows on either side of the date, making it easy for anyone to quickly identify the new coins versus the old. However, before this change was made, a very small number of 1853 Half Dimes were minted using the old standard and, of course, without the arrows at the date. The official mintage for the No Arrows 1853 Half Dime stands at 135,000, less than one-tenth the mintage of the 1853 With Arrows. This gives the 1853 No Arrows Half Dime the second lowest mintage of any Seated Liberty Half Dime date, regardless of the originating mint -- only the1847 has a smaller mintage. This low mintage does not translate directly into a high value, however, because sufficient numbers survived (saved by collectors?) to keep the pricing at a reasonable level. In my opinion, this is one of the best values in the Half Dime series.
Mint State 1853 No Arrows Half Dimes are scarce, but not rare, and they usually appear in MS63, followed by MS64. Gems are very rare, though about a dozen MS65 and MS66 examples (combined) exist. The finest example is a single PCGS MS68.

Incredible sex - so incredible that you hear a complete symphony in your head, reaching their climactic point as you do, and ending with wild applause. Can cause individuals involved in symphony sex to attempt to scream or sing out along with the music.
As he rocked back on his hips, driving himself further into me, I heard, even though it was only the two of us in the room and both the TV and radio were off, an entire string section of an orchestra build. As his speed increased the woodwinds entered. By the time I was about to cum the entire orchestra was crescendoing, drums were pounding, strings singing at full forte, all at a fevered pitch until, in unison with me, everything peaked and held for a seemingly impossible note - all followed by wild applause and exhaustion. He collapsed next to me and I screamed "ENCORE! More Symphony Sex! ENCORE!", but alas, he was already asleep.

NASA approves Mon space station supply launch despite computer outage in orbit, deemed safe
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A space station supply shipment is on for Monday.
NASA decided Sunday to stick with the planned launch of the SpaceX cargo ship, despite a critical computer outage at the space station.
The computer, located on the outside of the orbiting lab, stopped working Friday. NASA debated whether to delay the SpaceX mission, but on Sunday determined the station can accept the visiting craft.
Liftoff is scheduled for 4:58 p.m. Monday from Cape Canaveral.
A spacewalk will be required, meanwhile, to replace the bad computer. Engineers don't know why it failed.
NASA station program manager Mike Suffredini says the spacewalk will be conducted April 22. That gives SpaceX two shots to get its Dragon capsule flying.
The unmanned Dragon holds more than 2 tons of supplies and science experiments.

To the editor: Jonah Goldberg's column on the Hobby Lobby case takes as given the distortion of scientific facts at the core of the case. ("Alito agrees: Your birth control is not your boss' business," Op-Ed, June 30)
Overwhelming evidence has shown that emergency contraception does not prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg and does not cause the termination of an existing pregnancy. Therefore, emergency contraception it is not an abortifacient, contrary to what the Supreme Court justices and Goldberg contend.
Such uncritical endorsements of distorted science are the source of much misinformation, as I have discovered in my own research on barriers to access to emergency contraception. It is sad that the highest court in the nation has propagated this false belief and created another barrier for access to safe, effective and evidenced-based pregnancy prevention.
Tracey Wilkinson, MD, Los Angeles
To the editor: Goldberg compares requiring employers to provide contraceptive health insurance to their employees to hypothetically requiring these companies to pay for their employees to attend a "Game of Thrones" convention.
Goldberg ignores the fact that every time a couple engages in unprotected intercourse, they are putting the woman's life at risk. According to a study published in the medical journal the Lancet, 18.5 women died in childbirth for every 100,000 live births in the U.S. in 2013.
The intimate relations between couples are no mere game. The ability to obtain and use contraceptives is a matter at the heart of family life.
Goldberg and the five men who make up the U.S. Supreme Court majority in the recent Hobby Lobby case have shown the world that they place little value on the lives of women.
Eleanor Egan, Costa Mesa
To the editor: I suspect that because Hobby Lobby is so deeply religious, it would not support a woman's right to have an abortion. What causes more abortions than not having contraception?

Senior has 250 thefts in her career for the Spartans.
Tee'Ara Copney likes to gamble.
The USC Upstate senior doesn't play the ponies or dabble in hold 'em. Her game is basketball.
And her payoff isn't cash. The coin of the realm for the 5-foot-7 point guard is steals, and she rakes them in regularly.
Copney became Upstate's career leader in steals in a 57-56 loss to Lipscomb on Monday in Nashville. She also became the program's all-time leader in 3-pointers in the same game.
Copney said she's pleased to have both records, but the steals mark means the most to her.
"We take pride in our defense," she said. "And it's one of the records that has been here a long time."
Valerie Scott, who played from 1990-94, held the previous mark of 245. Copney added two more steals in Saturday's 84-66 loss to Stetson and now has 250 for her career.
While gambling helped her get the record, it wasn't the only factor. Copney also studies opposing players and their tendencies.
"I try to time people," she said. "I count their dribbles and try to study whether they cross-over and when."
Spartans coach Tammy George compared Copney to a ball-hawking cornerback.
"She reads people's eyes and knows where they're going to go with the ball," George said. "She's always had that instinct."
Copney also gets the job done on the other end of the floor, especially from long range. She's hit 177 3-pointers, eclipsing the previous record of 173 set by Kendra Wallace from 2008-211.
She credits her teammates with helping her get open looks at the basket.
"They set a lot of good screens," Copney said. "That makes it easier."
Copney also is one of the most consistent Spartans at the free-throw line. She is 32-for-34 (.941 percent) and finished at .886 a season ago.
"We have a lot of confidence as a team, and we take a lot of pride in making our free throws," she said. "My dad always told me they're free, so take advantage. I try to go to the line knowing those free throws could be a game-changer or a game-winner."
George said she's also looked to Copney to take on a leadership role. She said the Spartans would have a big spot to fill when Copney departs after the season.
"She's been a very consistent player for us," George said. "She came in as a freshman ready to go. She wanted to go somewhere she could come in and make an impact, and she's done that here."

I bought Junkbots, Bugbots & Bots on Wheels yesterday after going through the archived articles on this site and reading the review. It's a little basic but as someone who has really only worked with an FPGA robot and microcontrollers, it's nice to now have a nice, gentle intro to some simpler designs.
Unfortunately, it's exam time and I'm already regretting the little time that I have spent reading the first few chapters (instead of studying).

Careers Slideshow: BLS: July Saw Largest Monthly Expansion of IT Force in Three Years
By Don Reisinger | Posted 08-15-2012
In the IT world, job data is a solid indicator of how companies are spending money, using resources, and perhaps most importantly, thinking about their plans for the future. Large expansions in the IT workforce typically indicate good things for CIOs and other professionals, while bad news, like job cuts, tells us trouble is ahead. In the latest data from the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, it appears good times could be back again. In fact, as Foote Partners discovered in analyzing the information, the U.S. IT labor force expanded more in July than it had in more than three years. For CIOs that have hired new people, that might not come as much of a surprise. But for CIOs looking to bring on more IT professionals, it should be considered with caution: competitors are looking to hire qualified candidates. So, it's better to make that move now than to wait. Here CIO Insight takes a look at the IT sector's job performance in July, and other key data extracted from the BLS report by Foote Partners.

Eric Bischoff called into Extreme Pro Wrestling Radio on 100.3 FM The Fan in Minneapolis (on Twitter at EPWRadio) to discuss a number of topics with Big D, Tim and Crisco including the creative team for TNA Wrestling, who was going to be the third man in the nWo storyline before Hulk Hogan got on board, his current relationship with Vince McMahon and more. Highlights from the interview are as follows:
Comparing Bruce Prichard with Vince Russo in their roles writing for TNA Wrestling what are Bruce's strengths: "It's hard to compare, two entirely different people with entirely different skill sets and backgrounds and experiences and things like that so it's kind of a waste of energy to try and compare them other than to say they are two completely different people. I enjoyed working with Vince, I don't wanna ever sound like I didn't. It was a challenge for me and it was a challenge for Vince because of our personalities and because of the way we approach things, but it was never personal for me…in TNA and I don't think it was for him either.
"I like working with Bruce a lot because Bruce has more experience than I do. I've been in the business for 25 years and I have a lot of experience but Bruce has more than I do. Not only does he have more experience than I do but he experienced the peak of WWE, the formulas that worked there and the processes that work there, he understands production very very well. I'm actually very impressed with his knowledge of production. I love his sensibility and his philosophy regarding wrestling story and finishes in particular. We see, not eye to eye, because that's not very good when two people agree on everything.
"We do have our moments, we had one about 24 hours ago I thought was going to last for 24 hours. But I respect him, he's been there, he's done that a couple times and he has the t-shirts. His philosophy is rooted very much in strong wrestling fundamentals. Wrestling is no different from comedy, it's no different than drama, it's no different than a really good action film, in that it all comes down to basic storytelling fundamentals.
"If you focus on the fundamentals, if you focus on the details and don't shortcut, chances are your stuff will probably be pretty good. It's when you try to get so off the wall and throw so much stuff up against the wall and try and be wacky for the sake of being wacky and you abandon simple fundamental story telling that's when you crater and that's what I like about working with Bruce. Even though we may disagree on certain things I know that when he is disagreeing he's disagreeing from a point of good strong fundamentals and I respect that."
Is there an angle or storyline that hasn't been done yet: "First of all, if I did…or if I could..I wouldn't do it here. Secondly, I'd be lying to you if I said I saw some secret sauce back in the cupboard in the back that nobody has figured out yet. Nah, I don't think there is. Again, I don't know how many different basic stories there are but someone told me a longtime ago that was a film major, basically there is seven basic stories…boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back. There's only seven different ways to tell a story and the art of storytelling and entertainment is just finding ways that feel new and camouflaging those seven basic stories so that it feels like something you haven't seen before.
"I think we're there with professional wrestling particularly over the last 15 years because of the just plethora of programming that's out there. Going back to when Nitro was three hours and Thunder was two and Raw was three and then it was two and then it was three again and Smackdown is two hours then there's a bunch of shows in syndication, a bunch of replays on cable. It's like, I don't know how we've survived as long as we have… Well, I do but it's hard, it's really hard to come up with a story that hasn't been done before that the audience will accept. It's funny, we just got done doing two days of really intensive research in a couple different cities. Fascinating research by the way. I'm a little bit of a research nerd.
"One of the things I have known for a longtime but it becomes very apparent when you're sitting in a focus group of people who are identified as serious wrestling fans is that they're very… they take ownership, they're very particular, they're almost obsessive compulsive about it for the most part and they expect you to treat their product, because they look at it as their product, with a tremendous amount of respect. The minute you try to get too cute with it, you really piss them off. So when you ask me, is there some new storyline, some new way of doing it, some new angles, some new talent, whatever…
"Yeah, there's a couple different things we could try that have never been done before but I'm pretty sure how the audience would react that because it would be too far outside their box and comfort zone. It's just like Nascar fans, if Nascar decided if instead of turning left for 400 miles they're gonna turn right? People would just have seizures and die all over the country. Yeah, it's never been done before, it's really cool, feels different, feels fresh. It would be horrible, it's the same with wrestling. You gotta be real careful with that, believe me…I have the scar tissue to prove it."it.
Bischoff also remarks on scrapped plans to bring Sting into the now, his thoughts on son Garett's wrestling career, his current relationship with Vince McMahon, and more. Click LIKE and listen to the interview here – www.facebook.com/extremeprowrestlingradio.

Relationships can be complicated. Relationships with vampires can be downright impossible.
Warning: True Blood spoilers ahead.
Hoyt Fortenberry (newly engaged Jim Parrack) and his girlfriend Brigette (Ashley Hinshaw) begin Sunday's episode of the HBO drama in a very mortal disagreement: Brigette wants kids and Hoyt isn't sure. But things get a little thornier when the subject of Hoyt's vampire ex-girlfriend Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) comes up. Brigette has picked up on the fact that Hoyt and Jessica have a history, but Hoyt claims he doesn't know the redhead.
And he isn't lying.
Just when Hoyt successfully convinces Brigette that she has no reason to be jealous, there is a knock at the door, and Jessica is standing there with the news that Hoyt had her glamour any memory of her out of his head after she cheated on him with his best friend Jason (Ryan Kwanten). Brigette asks Jessica to leave but Hoyt chases after his former girlfriend.
Brigette calls Jason to come pick her up, but upon his arrival he is swiftly knocked unconscious by Hoyt, who has been catching up on his lost history. Brigette tries to drive Jason to the hospital but the former high school football star says he is no stranger to concussions and they should just go back to his place. Jason refuses to repeat his sins and tells Brigette they won't be having sex. He stays true to his convictions and the two end up in bed fully clothed and share an intimate platonic evening together.
Meanwhile, Sookie (Anna Paquin) is having her own issues with her vampire love. The half-fairy made it her mission to find a cure for Bill's Hep-V infection, but when one is finally presented in the form of Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp), Bill (Stephen Moyer) says he wants to die. Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) tries to persuade Bill to drink Sarah's blood to heal himself, but Bill is convinced that if he dies, Sookie will be able to move on and have a happy, normal life.
Sookie has also been contemplating life without Bill. After discovering that Sam has chosen to move out of town to lead a quieter, safer life with his new family, she confides in Arlene that life may indeed be better without Bill.
Back at Fangtasia, Eric finally gives into Ginger's desire to sleep with him before he heads down to the basement to find his progeny Pam (Kristin Bauer Van Straten) held captive by Mr. Gus (Will Yun Lee) and his men. Trying to guarantee the secrecy of his plan to manufacture and sell a cure for Hep-V, Mr. Gus wants to trade Pam's life for the information of where Sookie lives.
The penultimate episode of the series ends with Bill knocking on Sookie's door – but are a mob of hit men also on their way over?
The series finale of True Blood airs Sunday (Aug. 24) on HBO.

When and where did Judaism become a religion of the book? Why do the various historic Christian churches treasure various collections of Jewish writings?
A canon or collection of authoritative religious texts may have begun to be defined early, in the 6th century BCE, among Judahite refugees in Babylon. Be that as it may, by the 2nd century BCE, the development of a canon of authoritative texts was in full swing among those who saw themselves as heirs to the promises found in the Torah, the Prophets, and David.
In the first centuries of the current era, across the lands and languages of the countries in which first Jews and then Jews and Christians resided, the inner core but not the outer edges of a canonical standard to which all might appeal was widely acknowledged. This meant that when Jews of diverse provenance became Christians and brought with them the collection of texts their community of origin treasured. some collections were more extensive than others. To this day, therefore, among Christians an Old Testament canon shared by all does not exist.
For a brief introduction to the canon of the Hebrew Bible and three historic canons of the Old Testament, go here.

But anyways, if you're intersted in Lima, there are plenty of places to work at. Without a license, you can't work at the top schools, but you could get decent money, expect about 1K to 1500 usd a month. Have the school pay taxes, or else you'll lose 30% of your salary. BUT, what do you want to teach? English? I don't think you'll get a job teaching Spanish here. YOu need to apply ASAP, the school year starts 1 March. The fact that you'll be arriving in June or July means that you'll be taking over in August for those teachers who quit or got fired. Nix the TEFL, you don't need it. Just a degree. Make sure the school gets you the visa too. I sent you a PM with lots of info, if you have more questions, let me know.

The rack did not come with screws to mount with. Since the holes for the screws are so big, I used #14 screws, which should keep it on the wall, but were hard to screw in, even with pilot holes. That and an odd mounting diagram are the reason for the 3 stars on Ease of use. Mounting the bike is straightforward and easy. It is well built and looks great, but you pay for it. It is a simple design, but too short. The rear tire still contacts the wall. Price/value loses a star.

South Dakota's Joe Glenn Previews 2013 Season [AUDIO]
By all accounts, the University of South Dakota's first season in the Missouri Valley Football Conference was a struggle, as the Coyotes finished winless in league play in 2012.
And so it should come as little surprise that USD occupies the bottom spot of the pre-season Missouri Valley rankings, leaving second year head coach Joe Glenn both dismissive and motivated by the low regard for his team heading into 2013.
There are two key things Glenn is stressing to his team this season: one that can't be coached (experience)...
...and one that can (discipline), as the Coyotes try to evolve from a team that was one of the most penalized in the league in 2012.
As for the cast of characters on this years USD team, coach Glenn likes to talk defense first, starting with pre-season all-conference linebacker Tyler Starr.
Offensively for USD, it's a mixture of experience at the quarterback position with Josh VanderMaten, an improving offensive line, some promising, but unproven talent at running back, and inexperience at wide receiver.
On special teams, the Coyotes are putting all of their hopes onto the strong leg of a young player.
The Coyotes open the 2013 season at home with Cal-Davis, August 31st in Vermillion.
WEDNESDAY: Missouri Valley Commissioner Patty Viverito

The Franklin County Board of Elections will hear a protest to a group's call for voter-approved campaign-finance reform in Columbus.
The Franklin County Board of Elections will hear a protest to a group's call for voter-approved campaign-finance reform in Columbus.
During its regular meeting scheduled for Monday, Jan. 13, the elections board will hear a complaint about the Columbus Coalition for Responsive Government's plans to seek voter approval of an issue that effectively gives candidates for Columbus City Council and the mayor's office access to public money if they set voluntary caps on their campaigns.
Brian Rothenberg, executive director of the liberal group Progress Ohio, has filed a protest with the elections board, saying the coalition's efforts don't really accomplish its objective of limiting campaign contributions.
Rothenberg, who is acting independently on the issue, not on behalf of Progress Ohio, said the ballot measure essentially creates a system whereby candidates keep taxpayer funds, but will likely never face contribution or expenditure limits.
For example, an independent, outside group could pour money into a campaign, effectively breaking the cap, even without the candidates' consent, he said.
Ben Piscitelli, spokesman for the board of elections, said protests about ballot issues are heard from time to time, but most aren't granted.
They generally involve significant flaws, such as someone failing to sign or date documents as required, Piscitelli said.
Disputes resulting in a tie vote by elections board members are forwarded to the secretary of state. They could also end up in court if a judge decides to take the case, he said.
Rothenberg said he'd like to see better review mechanisms upfront, such as having the city attorney review ballot language before an issue goes in front of voters.
He said he also wishes the coalition would have consulted a broader swath of people in the community who are interested in campaign-finance reform.
"I've always believed that campaign finance (reform) is a good idea, that the best defense is public scrutiny and disclosure rules," Rothenberg said.
"But there needs to be more campaign finance reform in general that's meaningful and impactful."
Jonathan Beard, spokesman for the coalition, said there are many safeguards in place to protect taxpayers and candidates who opt-in to the system.
For example, there's a liquidated damages clause that requires candidates who exceed the cap to pay back $3 for every $1 they receive in public money, he said.
That excludes money contributed by outside groups, as long as there's no coordination between the candidate and those groups, Beard said.
He said the coalition is trying to create fair and competitive campaigns, and that the current political structure locks qualified people out of races because of money.
"We realize our legislation is the first word and not the last word" on campaign-finance reform, Beard said.
"Obviously, we hope to be on the ballot," he said.
"I think there are some people in Columbus who don't want this on the ballot and they're looking for any possible means to keep people from voting on what's very obviously needed."
On Nov. 7 -- two days after three well-funded City Council incumbents were re-elected -- the coalition, in calling for campaign-finance reform, dropped off petitions at City Hall containing nearly 23,000 signatures.
The board of elections returned petitions to the city clerk Dec. 16 to show that enough valid signatures were submitted to place the issue on the ballot, Piscitelli said.
The board found 9,284 valid signatures among the 22,823 submitted. Petitioners needed 4,478 valid signatures, or 5 percent of the 89,571 votes cast in the 2013 municipal election, Piscitelli said.

Razer Orochi, Naga & Imperator Review
Do you enjoy playing your computer games? Maybe your mouse is beginning to give you troubles and you need a new advantage to frag your opponents in your favorite FPS or maybe you need to be able to have more macros available at your fingertips while playing your favorite RPG? No matter what you are looking for in a mouse, you do know one thing that you need - something that is going to be comfortable and give you the performance you know you deserve. Razer is one of the companies that comes to mind when I think about computer gaming mice and they just happen to have a few mice that are going to be able to suit your needs, no matter what they may be. We will be taking a look at the Razer Orochi, Naga, and Imperator mice and comparing them to some of the competition. I am anxious to see exactly what these mice offer and how well they are able to stack up to the competition.
Closer Look:
As I said, we are going to be looking at the Orochi, Naga, and the Imperator - all three have their own unique features that set them apart from each other, as they were designed for different uses. Nevertheless, they all do have one thing in common - they were designed to be used as a gaming mouse to give you that extra edge against your competition. The Razer Orochi is a Bluetooth wireless gaming mouse that has been targeted toward the laptop market, but has a USB cable that will allow wired operation. The Razer Naga has been designed for the RPG player, with a massive amount of programmable buttons on the mouse to help keep all your shortcuts and in-game actions in one place. The Razer Imperator is your typical FPS gaming mouse with its own list of features that sets it apart from the other mice out on the market. We will start by looking at all three of these mice individually.
First up is the Razer Orochi mouse. The packaging for this particular mouse is different than the other two mice, having a more elegant look to it. The front of the packaging displays the Orochi mouse very clearly with a plastic window that is always exposed. The top of the packaging is where you'll find the Bluetooth logo with the description "with gaming-optimized wired mode" to let you know that you can use the Orochi as either a wireless mouse via Bluetooth connectivity or wired. The Razer logo is located in the top right corner of the package, while the bottom contains the Orochi logo with "Bluetooth notebook gaming mouse" printed below. On one side of the package, you will see a message from the RazerGuy that gives you a description of the mouse and how they named it. You will also see a few of the features printed at the bottom of this side, such as 3G laser sensor, 7 buttons, 1000Hz ultra-polling, and Razer synapse. The back of the package contains a full list of the features and technical specifications for the mouse in both wired and wireless modes. The final side of the package gives you a few of the main features that Razer wanted to let the consumer know without searching, such as the Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, dual mode wired/wireless functionality, up to 4000DPI, and that the mouse is airplane friendly.
Next up is the Razer Naga mouse. The packaging for the Naga mouse has a more flashy design than the Orochi's did, but the front of the packaging is not quite as busy. The front of the package contains a large image of the Naga mouse so that you know what the product looks like, with the Razer logo printed in the top right corner. The Naga logo is along the bottom with "MMOG" (Massively Multiplayer Online Gaming) and the description "laser gaming mouse" printed alongside the logo to let you know what the mouse has been designed for. The back of the package contains another image of the mouse, but this time it is labeled to highlight all the features of the mouse. In addition, you'll find a specifications list, as well as a laser sensor comparison chart. One side of the package has a few of the highlighted features that Razer wants everyone to know, such as 17 MMO-optimized buttons, maximum comfort for long gaming sessions, and custom interface add-ons for MMO games. The other side of the package contains a description of the Naga mouse, as well as some more highlights of the mouse, such as 3.5G laser sensor, ergonomic right-handed design, 1000Hz ultra-polling, 17 MMO-optimized buttons, 200ips tracking, and braided fiber cable protection.
The package for the Razer Imperator is also quite simplistic on the front, but has a little bit more going on than the Naga's package. The front of the package features a large image of the Imperator gaming mouse with the Razer logo once again printed in the top right corner. The Imperator logo is printed along the bottom with the description "ergonomic laser gaming mouse" printed below to give you an idea of what the mouse is designed for. There is also a badge above the Imperator logo, highlighting the 3.5G laser sensor that the mouse has and lets you know that the mouse is capable of up to 5600DPI. As with the Naga, the back of the packaging features a labeled image of the Imperator that shows off the mouse's features. A specifications list appears to the left of the image, while a laser sensor comparison chart appears below it. One side of the package contains a few of the impressive features of the Imperator, such as the ergonomic right-handed form factor with contoured thumb grip, adjustable side buttons, and 5600DPI Razer precision 3.5G laser sensor. The opposite side features a blurb from the RazerGuy that gives you an overview of the mouse. Below his blurb is another list of features, such as 3.5G laser sensor, ergonomic right-handed design, 7 buttons, 1000Hz ultra-polling, on-the-fly sensitivity, and braided fiber cable protection.
Now that we know exactly what the packaging for all three of the Razer mice looks like, it's time to take a closer look at the mice one by one. The first one that I am going to start with is the Orochi.

Guitar FX: 12 of the best
Pedals, FX Units, Stomp Boxes: Chances are, if you're an experienced guitarist or bass player in 2011 you will be familiar with effects for your chosen instrument, but if you're just taking your first steps with so much choice now available where should you start?
As a guitarist there a few joys to compare with cranking up your amp, trying out the latest boutique fuzz box or futuristic synth pedal and discovering a whole new dimension of sound. Pedals come in many shapes sizes and colours and with ever more amusing names for distortion, chorus, wah and multi fx as well as more recent advancements.
The selection is so wide these days that things can be a little confusing; where to begin? How to get that desired sound? Indeed, many guitarists use their personal selection of pedals to help define their sound and experiment with certain combinations of effects and even the order of the signal chain can yield some exciting results. The good news is that amongst the plethora of available effects, there really is something for everyone whether you're governed by budget or taste.

Pure Music – range of artists
Thanks to its partnership with We7 Digital, Pure Music's catalogue is an eye-watering 15 million tracks. Apart from the obvious artists who simply won't budge on the streaming front, we had no problem finding enough music to keep us going – even obscure soundtracks. As a comparison, Spotify's quoted as having 15m+ tracks.
But – and this is a big but – it's not set in stone how many of the 15m tracks will be streamable and how many will be download-only – whereas our trial let us roam free. So stay tuned for the December launch to get cold, hard figures for what your £4.99 a month will get you.
Pure Music – usability
Setting up your radio device/smartphone, making playlists and viewing tagged tracks all happen at thelounge.com, a clean and well organised portal to Pure Music's massive catalogue of music and on-demand content (podcasts etc). Since it doesn't fall too far from the iTunes/Spotify tree, the left hand menu and icon grid layout is a doddle to use.
In terms of usability with your Pure internet connected radio, this will completely depend on your model – the ONE Flow's lack of touchscreen or well, anything but that pesky dial, can test your patience sometimes. Then again, how many people can say they pump out tons of internet radio stations and millions of tracks from a sub £100 radio?
Pure Music – Pure Lounge iPhone app
It's great that Pure Music has a free iPhone app straight out of the gates, in the form of Pure Lounge – meaning that you get access to all your playlists, and any other track, on the move. Before you jump ship from Spotify Premium's £9.99 offering though, Pure Lounge doesn't offer any caching of tracks so be sure to get an unlimited data plan first.
Tracks don't even buffer while you listen to them – so when your train goes through a 3G desert, your math rock will rudely cut out. But Pure has hinted that caching might be available at a higher price point so we'll play the waiting game. Android fans, an app is winging its way to the Android Market "soon".
See the app in action in our CES Unveiled video.
Pure Music – sound quality and speed
In terms of paid-for tracks, we're talking DRM free MP3s encoded at 320kbps that you can move to any computer or MP3 player – otherwise, it's 128kbps for streaming.
Using Pure Music via thelounge.com on a laptop/PC is generally zippy with a few seconds for each track to buffer. And we reckon trying out Pure Tags to bookmark songs you hear on the radio (via Shazam tech) could easily get addictive – it only takes a minute or so of your precious time to identify the track and stick it in the 'My Tagged Tracks' section of The Lounge for you to stream again later.
Pure Music – VERDICT
If you've already got a Pure internet connected radio at home, this is the music discovery and streaming service for you – it will tie in with how you already listen to music and save you some pennies on a Spotify sub.
But the Pure Music app for iPhone (and soon Android) needs caching, or at the very least buffering, functions to compete with the likes of Spotify and Napster for music on the go.

The Tuscaloosa Preservation Society will usher in the spirit of Christmas by opening its doors to the public from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday for its annual Holiday Open House in five historic buildings.
The Tuscaloosa Preservation Society will usher in the spirit of Christmas by opening its doors to the public from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday for its annual Holiday Open House in five historic buildings.
"The purpose is to welcome the Christmas season," the Preservation Society special events coordinator, Lucy Murphy, said. "We are trying to get the Christmas spirit rolling in Tuscaloosa."
The public will be free to visit all of the buildings, each of which is within driving distance of the others, and to enjoy free refreshments, hot drinks and live holiday music.
The buildings will be decorated with materials available during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in order to fit with the period setting, Murphy said.
"You won't see garland and Christmas lights," she said.
The historic buildings are:
n The Battle-Friedman House, 1010 Greensboro Ave., which dates back to 1835.
n The Jemison-Van de Graaff Mansion, 1305 Greensboro Ave., which was finished in 1862 for Alabama Confederate Sen. Robert Jemison Jr.
n The Old Tavern, 500 28th Ave., which was built in 1827 as a tavern and hotel on the stagecoach route of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and now houses a museum dedicated to Tuscaloosa County's early history.
n The McGuire-Strickland House, 500 28th Ave., which was built in the 1820s and is considered the oldest wooden structure in Tuscaloosa. It serves as the home to the Capitol School.
n The Murphy-Collins House, 2601 Paul W. Bryant Drive, which was built in the early 1920s and houses the Murphy African-American Museum. The museum is dedicated to the lifestyle of wealthy blacks during the early 18th century.
Multiple groups will have a hand in the event. The Greensboro, Tuscaloosa, Coker and Ceres garden clubs will decorate the buildings, using materials such as ivy, wood and feathers, Murphy said. Bama Hillel and the Sisterhood of Temple Emanu-El will provide traditional Jewish food at the Battle-
Friedman House, she said.
The Tuscaloosa Belles, high school girls involved with the service aspect of the Preservation Society and recognizable for wearing antebellum dresses, will act as hostesses.
The T-Town Strummers will perform at the
Battle-Friedman House; the Victorian carolers from Northport will sing at The Old Tavern; a children's handbell choir will perform Christmas carols at the McGuire-Strickland House; and individuals will play the piano at various locations, Murphy said.
Murphy said the Preservation Society hopes the public will enjoy the event as a free way to see Tuscaloosa's heritage and to enjoy the holiday festivities.
"We invite the public to come on in and welcome in the Christmas season in Tuscaloosa," she said.

LOS ANGELES -- The disparity of recent contracts among baseball's most elite pitchers probably has not helped negotiations between the Phillies and John Boggs, the agent for Cole Hamels.
At one end of the spectrum, you have Jared Weaver, who signed a heavily discounted five-year, $85 milliion deal to continue pitching with the Los Angeles Angels.
"I know people still talk about it and how big some people think it is," Weaver recently told USA TODAY. "But honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. It's tough for me saying the contract is a discount. Come on, it's $85 million. It's more money than I ever thought I would make in my life."
At the other end of spectrum, you have San Francisco's Matt Cain, who signed a six-year, $127.5 million deal with the Giants. He is around the same age and has similar career numbers to Hamels, so it's more than fair for Boggs to demand that kind of deal or even slightly more for his client.
"I don't have any issues about evaluating Cole," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said Monday. "Cole is a top-of-the-rotation pitcher. He has pitched well and we hope to be able to sign the guy. That goal has never really changed. We know what he is and we know what he brings to the table.
"Whether we can get to the finish line and keep him in our uniform, that's another thing entirely, but we know what we'd like to do. That hasn't changed. Regardless of the other things that have happened (with the team) this year, those things I don't think affect his personal situation."
Factor in that both Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee took less money to pitch for the Phillies than they could have received elsewhere and that is something else that could complicate the on-going negotiations between Boggs and Amaro.
"That's why I say, 'It always takes two to tango,' " Amaro said. "It's not just the Phillies. It's the Phillies and Cole and what his goals are and his wife's goals, the agent and the family. It's kind of everybody involved that is going to take it to the level where hopefully we can get something done. It's a big decision for a lot of people."
Halladay against TBA. The Dodgers left the ballpark Monday night without naming a pitcher for Tuesday night's game against the Phillies.
The Phillies, after a 3-2 win that gave them their first three-game winning streak since May 26, left knowing that they would send Roy Halladay to the mound Tuesday for the first time since a May 27 start in St. Louis.
What the Phillies don't know for sure is how many innings they will get out of Halladay in his first start since he landed on the disabled list with a shoulder injury. They also do not know how much he will resemble the guy who dominated opposing teams in his first two seasons in Philadelphia.
"The one thing I know about Roy is that regardless of how sharp he is, he's going to do everything he possibly can to get people out," Amaro said. "He's going to give you everything he's got and he's going to compete just as strong and hard as he ever has. Whatever he does, you can't fault him.
"But, yeah, I am interested in seeing how sharp he is. He's a pretty good option for us."
Given how often Halladay has picked up his teammates when they have struggled to score runs, this would be a good night for the offense to come through against an emergency starter for the Dodgers.
In order to make room for Halladay on the 25-man roster, the Phillies outrighted righthanded reliever Brian Sanches to triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Its a shame Haider Ackermann works in fashion. Its a shame that after he staged a masterful, painterly, breathtakingly exquisite collection, you heard people complaining that the soundtrack sounded the same as last season, that the colours were similar, or questioning the wearability of sheer poetry. Well, okay, they were questioning the wearability of sheer tulle, but in Ackermann's hands it was poetry. I hate to break this to you, but some things are even bigger than fashion.
'I have Delacroix's sense of colour and I compose. A toilette is as good as a painting'. Charles Fredrick Worth founded haute couture and our modern system of fashion on that mantra. I couldn't help but flash back to those words at Haider Ackermann's show when faced with the lush, succulent shades of tangerine, chartreuse and inky blue washed across shot-silk trouser suits, the fluttering cobalt chiffon pieced into long trailing dresses, and a finale of neutrals so delicate they barely whispered across the body. This wasn't fashion as we know it, really. This was closer to art - it always sounds pretentious when you load clothing with those adumbrated cod-philosophical high culture references, but the purity and beauty of Ackermann's work calls for it.
For Spring/Summer 2012, Ackermann continued on his path. The success of his previous season have neither cowed him now buoyed him. He shrugs off the rare criticism and the fulsome, effusive praise equally. Ackermann is simply creating clothes that express his vision of the world, or rather his vision of what the world could be like - he played 'Imagine' by John Lennon over this show, if that's any indication of his misty-eyed, rose-tinted vision. Ackermann is one of those designers whose aesthetic can conjure an entire world, a universe of exquisite nomads wrapped in sparkling layers of embroidery, lustrous fabric and divine colour. I keep banging on about that colour, but it was, frankly, euphoric. As was this whole show - a soaring, roaring triumph.
This was a collection that gave you a rush like your skull being trepanned, a sense of lightness. It transported you. That is what great fashion should be about - not ringing in the changes or scrabbling after trends, but expressing imagination, strength and utter beauty. The number of truly great designers working in Paris have been depleted over the past few seasons. Thank God we have new blood to number amongst them.

With Office Online it's easy to work with others because you can send links to documents instead of sending file attachments. That saves on e-mail storage and prevents you from having to reconcile multiple versions of the same document.
To send a link, click Share at the top of the Office Online program window, either while you're viewing:
Or editing your document:
When your friends click the link you send, the document opens in their browser.
To edit, they click the command for editing in the Office Online program (If you send an email link, they'll need to sign in first).
To get started, store your document on OneDrive
Upload your documents to OneDrive, and then share them.
Note: If you are using Office Online for school or work, here is information specific to team libraries and OneDrive for Business.
Work with others in Word Online
When you are editing a document in Word Online you might see notification that others are working in the document too. There is no special co-authoring mode and no command to begin working together on a document. You edit in Word Online as you normally would, and if others are also editing the document, Word Online alerts you to their presence, and shows you the paragraph they're working on.
People can be working in Word Online, Word 2010 or later, or Word for Mac 2011.
For details, see Work together on a document in Word Online.
Work with others in Excel Online
If you make your workbook available for others to edit, your friends can work on the workbook at the same time as you. This is called co-authoring. This works well for workbooks where you are collecting information from a group of people, such as a list of information or a group project. No more e-mailing a list around.
While you are editing the workbook, Excel Online shows you where others are also working on the workbook.
If someone opens the workbook in a version of Excel that doesn't support co-authoring, the workbook can't be edited in Excel Online until they close it. For more information on which versions support co-authoring, see Collaborate on Excel workbooks at the same time with co-authoring.
Because Excel Online automatically saves everyone's changes, the Undo and Redo commands might not work the way you expect.
Also, when one person changes the sort order or filters data, the view changes for everyone who is editing the workbook. So, be mindful of sorting and filtering while others are in the workbook.
Work with others in PowerPoint Online
Team presentations and school projects: you can work on them together in PowerPoint Online. When more than one person is editing a presentation at the same time, you see their names in top of the PowerPoint Online window:
You and your colleagues will see each other's changes immediately, and PowerPoint Online saves the presentation automatically.
People can be working in PowerPoint Online, PowerPoint 2010 or later, or PowerPoint for Mac 2011. However, for best results we recommend that everyone be working in either PowerPoint Online (where changes are saved automatically) or the PowerPoint desktop applications (where everyone saves the presentation periodically).
For more information, see Work with other people on a presentation.
Work with others in OneNote Online
If you make your notebook available for other people to edit, your friends can work on the notebook at the same time as you. This works well for notebooks where you are collecting information from a group of people, such as a brainstorming session or a group project. The notebook functions like a wiki where everyone contributes. You can see who did what, and you can revert a page back to a previous version if necessary.
If you or other people have OneNote 2010 or later, you can work in the OneNote desktop and mobile applications while other people are working on the same notebook in OneNote Online. You can share the notebook in OneDrive, just like Excel, Word, and PowerPoint documents, but you can also share the notebook in OneNote 2010 or later.
Click the File tab, and on the Info tab, click Invite people to this notebook, under the name of the notebook.

Slow news. :(

I was expecting to watch a 'manufacturing' process -.-
31. vincelongman (Posts: 5515; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
Because then other companies would copy their design process as well as the amazing design
4. AshishRomea (Posts: 145; Member since: 09 Aug 2012)
not better than Xperia Z !
17. Feanor (Posts: 1168; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
Definitely not! Sorry, but in order to characterize a design as a masterpiece it needs to be original apart from solidly constructed and pretty. The One is a plagiarist amalgam of other successful smartphone designs. At least the Z is original.

Thats great, somebody should give this guy a medal

htc is a great company, samsung can't make such a beautiful phone even after spending more money(on research and development ) than any other company in the world
on the other hand, htc earns very less when compared to samsung......
but i think that this phone should have been a water proof phone with 5 inch screen,anyways, its a really beautiful phone
8. slaggyb (Posts: 218; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Yes indeed its a breakthrough phone... love me some HTC One
9. Slammer (Posts: 1515; Member since: 03 Jun 2010)
Well, here go. Now we see the correlation between Apple and HTC's deal. Schlep the marketing tricks to boost interest.
HTC always had me. They never had to change much to prove it was a high quality product without having to follow status quo. I guess I was cool when no one else gave a damn. However, here we are today trying to prop up HTC as they try to copy another company I supported for years as well. But because of ego and arrogance of the companies, I have elected to move on. The push for the utmost elegance on a phone is cool and I understand the theory, but I also claim BS on eliminating key aspects in the process of obtaining the elegance. Anyone has the abiltity, HTC does or did.
What good is all this elegance if it becomes a brick of inoperabilty? Everyone can question my push for removable batteries and SD cards, but I feel my 27 years of experience of the wireless and 8 years of HTC experience, does have some merit on issues pertaining to the need for these two crucial hardware items.
It may seem petty, but I don't know how many times having the accessibility to the battery and SD cards has saved me headaches AND more importantly; Money.
I wish HTC good luck in their sales of the ONE. However, I have passed on purchasing this device. It lacks the two needs I want. I'm not going to be suckered into paying 200 dollars for insurance claims on a dead batteries. In case anyone questions my reasoning:
4 out of 6 USB ports failed within months of my contract end. Having the removable battery saved me the cash in order to put down on a new handset.
I may sound off the wall, overly sensitive or even unnecessarily bullish on this, but I am being very specific that the experiences I've had with some hermetically sealed devices, leads me to offer at least my opinion.

Here is what HTC CEO Peter Chou thinks about Micro SD and battery's capacity (Or how HTC CEO tries to twist away from answering a question.):
24. Slammer (Posts: 1515; Member since: 03 Jun 2010)
Peter Chou evades the clear and concise question. Everyone can thumb me down in disagreement. However, the question was obvious posed due to an overwhelming Android user's concerns regarding the need for certain accessibility in handsets.
People think I shoot from the hip and even tech sites like this one feel I'm being brash. But, I ve seen the issues and heard the complaints. Samsung isn't a great sale just because of the marketing. Samsung is acknowledging the needs of users demanding a device that grows with them. Not a device they outgrow or can't use do to uncontrollable hardware failure.
HTC most undoubtedly, has the abillity to design a great handset without compromise. They didn't do it with this phone or the last ONE offer.

first world problems
21. hiBreed (Posts: 90; Member since: 29 May 2012)
I feel your pain and i also think micro sd and removeable batteries are essential, unless they can pack a motorola kind of juice, i 'might' be able to live without it. But a micro sd slot is of essence, even 32 gigs would leave me wanting, unless they can pack 64 or 128 gigs, htc (and even nokia) would have a hard time going past samsung
25. Slammer (Posts: 1515; Member since: 03 Jun 2010)
Pain is not something that should come with purchasing a phone. It should be an easy experience where we purchase our device of choice to conduct everyday business with as least amount of headaches. From software to hardware. The company that allows the users to have much control over simple things like changing batteries or upgrading memory, is the company I choose to do business with. This money grab by manufacturers and insurance companies, is taking complete control over this generation that doesn't seem to see past cool,shiny objects. Only when they pay top dollar for a replacement device just for a dead battery, will they understand what I sit here and complain about. These companies insult the intelligence of what supposedly is a very smart generation. Why? Because the generation allows it.
Removeable memory is more than just easy upgrade. It also allows an individual to retain important info in the event the device suffers complete fail. This has happened more often than people think. Being able to remove the memory card and place it in a back up device on the fly, is definitely essential. The cloud is not yet secure nor stable enough to store everything on it. I choose to control my own documents.
Computers had expandable memory and batteries. Why was this never an issue? And why is it with phones? We have become dependant on handheld devices to overcome our need for computers, yet we forget about these options which helped us stay productive whether it is for play or business.
I'm not going to spend money on, or want a high performance vehicle if it doesn't have a working engine or drivetrain.

For me it's the best design and materials used ever.

black htc one = ok
white htc one = ugly
15. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I don't think that HTC One white is ugly, but I agree that HTC One black looks better.
23. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
completely disagree.
i prefer the white one. it gives you the feeling of aluminum more than black one. exactly like white IP5.
27. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
It is just a colours and it is ok, because it is your opinion and I will respect it. :)
16. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
I have no faith is HTC build quality. 4 handsets in 2012 and each one has dead pixel, dust, rattling volume rocker, poor finish, screen that isn't glued to the body properly, gaps everywhere etc.
I don't see this being any different.
18. Brutus (Posts: 19; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
ONE is by far the most beautiful phone of 2013 till now. Xperia z is also built brilliantly but dunno why I am always inclined towards the ONE I definitely want ONE badly. This is the kind of device that makes the android platform more likable..
26. homineyhominey (Posts: 29; Member since: 10 Mar 2011)
Can we all just agree that the guy with the glasses is the HTC version of Jon Ive? I'm positive I heard the exact same thing about design and engineering coming together for something beautiful come out of Ive's mouth.
28. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
excellent phone..
excellent job htc..
excellent for 2013..

text: Remember the customized BlackBerry Bold 9780 that was covered in diamonds? Once again Amosu Couture storms the market in 'Bling' with the new BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 by plating the bezel in a hardened 24ct gold. Also available is white, yellow and platinum gold, or, the bezel encrusted in Swarovski crystallized elements. The 24ct gold plated device goes for a cool £999.00, which is equivalent to $1650.00. So, if you got the extra cash laying around, could be a great way to spend it. If anyone does happen to purchase one of these gems, be sure to post us some live shots in the comments below!

Girl, born August 2014
Down syndrome
Listed: May 20, 2016
The agency's team met Charlotte! It never ceases to amaze me how different it is to write an advocacy post after you have met a child! Let me tell you about Charlotte now that we have met her and seen this cuteness in person!
Charlotte has Down syndrome and CHD. And she is the cutest, sweetest, silliest little girl you could hope to meet!
She is walking by herself and really aced all of our little developmental things we do with little ones. She scribbles and stacks blocks and she is all about the baby puffs! Believe me, she can grab them and get those things to her mouth no problem!
She understands simple commands, though her caregiver pointed out that she also likes to pick and choose which of those commands she actually follows. She is 2, after all. There was a whole group of little ones in the room with her and the caregivers were singing little songs with them and doing hand motions. She was right in there doing the motions! So, so cute!
Charlotte has a $4,000 grant through her current agency. Please spread the word and let's get this little one home!
Additional information and photos can be found in this blog post.
$512.00 has been donated towards the cost of my adoption!

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Tuesday, November 19, 2013) – U.S. Soccer announced today the nominees for their 2013 Athlete of the Year Awards, which includes Colorado Rapids defender Shane O'Neill in the Young Male category. Fans can vote for the finalists in five categories - Male, Female, Young Male, Young Female and Disabled Athletes of the Year - on ussoccer.com throughout the week. The winners will be announced Tuesday, Nov. 26.
The U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year awards are the oldest and most prestigious awards of their kind, dating back to 1984 for the men and 1985 for the women, while the Young Male and Young Female awards were added in 1998. This is the second year U.S. Soccer will name a Disabled Athlete of the Year.
O'Neill made his debut with U.S. Under-20 National Team on Oct. 10, 2012 against Canada in the Marbella Cup and has been a regular on the squad ever since. He anchored a U-20 MNT defense that posted two shutouts during the team's runner-up performance at the 2013 CONCACAF U-20 Championship, where the United States qualified for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey. He scored his first international goal in a 3-1 victory against Portugal in a friendly on June 14. At the U-20 World Cup, O'Neill started two of the team's three group stage games, and scored the U.S.'s only goal in their final match of the tournament against Ghana on June 27.
The Boulder, Colo. native was signed as the Rapids' second ever Homegrown Player on June 19, 2012. He made his professional debut in the last match of the 2012 season, and then became a regular in the back line during 2013, earning an impressive 8-0-8 record in his first 16 starts. Just 19 years old at the start of the 2013 season, O'Neill was named the Colorado Rapids Young Player of the Year for his performance.
The other four nominees for Young Male Athlete of the Year are Kellyn Acosta (FC Dallas), Shaquell Moore (IMG Academy), Erik Palmer-Brown (Sporting KC), and Wil Trapp (Columbus Crew). Nominees must be age eligible for any of the Youth National Teams and can only win the award once in his career. Rapids fans can vote for O'Neill online by clicking here.
Online votes registered at ussoccer.com count for 50 percent of the total votes, while the other 50 percent is represented by votes compiled from members of the national media and U.S. Soccer representatives, including National Team coaches and members of the U.S. Soccer Board of Directors.
