Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Egyptian military forces on Sunday concluded maneuvers in the Sinai Peninsula that simulated an invasion of southern Israel.
Dubbed "Badr-2010," the exercise featured an armed crossing of the Suez Canal followed by a deep thrust into "enemy territory," reported the Middle East News Agency (MENA). The only "enemy" territory west of the Suez Canal is Israel.
Israel has repeated protested Egyptian military maneuvers in which the unidentified enemy is obviously Israel. Egypt and Israel signed a peace deal in 1979, and as a reward Egypt was granted ongoing US military aid and equipment that would make up the bulk of the arms used in any future attack on Israel.
The Egyptian exercise was almost ignored by the media, which instead focused on a Israeli defensive maneuvers in northern Israel that simulated a Hizballah missile attack on the Jewish state. Unlike the Egyptian exercise, the Israeli maneuver was held in response to very real threats of attack by Hizballah, and were purely defensive in nature.
Nor is Israel at peace with Hizballah or its Lebanese hosts. Egypt is at peace with Israel, but continues to treat it as an enemy nevertheless.

La Cañada Flintridge residents leaned Republican in Tuesday's general election, supporting GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romey and Republicans running for the U.S. Senate and State Assembly.
Of La Cañada's 14,360 registered voters, 8,408 cast their ballots on Tuesday, a 59% turnout, according to preliminary figures from the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder. A full tally of votes may not be complete until early next month.
President Barack Obama received 3,629 of the local vote compared to 4,523 for Romney. Libertarian Gary Johnson was the highest vote getter of the third-party candidates, with 76.
Although Republican Greg Krikorian lost to Democrat Mike Gatto for the 41st Assembly District, La Cañadans voted in his favor 4,596 to 3,235.
La Cañada residents narrowly supported Democrat Adam Schiff in his reelection to the House of Representatives and Democrat Carol Liu in her reelection to the state Senate. Schiff received 4,150 votes locally versus 3,765 for Republican Phil Jennerjahn, and Liu grabbed 4,012 votes versus 3,982 for Republican Gilbert Gonzales.
Republican Elizabeth Emken received 4,170 votes locally in her unsucessful effort to take the seat of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who received 3,949 votes in the city.
Measure J, which will extend a half-cent sales tax until 2069 to fund County transit projects, was endorsed by local elected officials but narrowly voted down in La Cañada, 3,819 votes to 3,759.
La Cañada voters overwhelmingly opposed Pasadena attorney Molly Munger's Proposition 38, one of two ballot measures asking voters to raise taxes to fund education, by a count of 6,424 to 1,547. Gov. Jerry Brown's Proposition 30, which passed, was opposed in La Cañada 4,831 votes to 3,306.

Creating the 21st-Century Fashion Brand, with Brett Markinson, Sole Society
Story by Benjamin F. Kuo
One of the fastest growing startups in Southern California in recent years was Hautelook, which went from just an ideas to a huge, $270M acquisition by Nordstrom only X years later. Hautelook was able to help define--and conquer--the online flash sales category, in record time. One of the founders of Hautelook, Brett Markinson, is now head of Sole Society (www.solesociety.com), which is looking to define the next generation of fashion-and-ecommerce brands. We caught up with Brett to understand how Sole Society spun out of Hautelook and Nordstrom, what the vision for the company is, and how he's applying what he learned making Hautelook one of the fastest growing companies here to the new company.
Tell us a little bit about your background?
Brett Markinson: The best place to start, is I'm a serial entrepreneur. I've never had a proper job, and have been on one gear, building businesses, for a very long time. I went to school at Babson, back East, and majored in finance and entrepreneurial studies. I moved out to California to build businesses. I started in media technology, and built a number of companies, which I was able to build out and get the ball rolling, in digital, nonlinear editing and special effects technology in Hollywood. Those efforts met with early success, as a result of being in the right place, and at the right time. As an entrepreneur, I'm drawn to disruptive dynamics and business opportunities, and to the sea change enabled by technology driven disruption. I've been doing that for 25 years. I've been engaged in about thirty startups, anywhere from in incubators, being an angel investor, to leading the charge. I've been over the finish line five times, and one is TBD right now, which is Sole Society.
Your last success was Hautelook, wasn't it?
Brett Markinson: Yes, the last one I got over the finish line was Hautelook, here in Southern California, and one of the leading pioneers in the flash/ecommerce fashion space. We sold that about a year and a half ago to Nordstrom, for approximately $270M dollars. It was a fantastic outcome, with great partners. We were in the right place, at the right time, and had a great tail wind. As a result, I had great visibility into what I would call the developing sea change in the traditional fashion supply chain. Hautelook disintermediated the off-price part of the segment. Subsequently, what I saw happening, and where I see a huge opportunity, is how the Internet is transforming the mindset and behavior of consumers. A consumer is now integrating online into almost everything in their daily life, and that's particularly connected to their spending. The way they interface with brands and retailers has just begun to change, and it will continue to change. As an entrepreneur, I see an opportunity and a significant amount of disruptive potential as a result of the way consumer's mindset and behavior and consumption is changing.
What do you see happening there?
Brett Markinson: You can take a step back, and look at some of the large scale, macro, dynamics happening. You see, first and foremost, a cultural change in the way people are thinking about the world. Value is now politically correct, and value is chic. What is value? It's the relationship between price and quality. The opportunity to pursue value has become exponentially easier with tools like the Internet, because of real time communications, validation capability, enabled by mobile and social infrastructure. Value is becoming the new thing, and the web gives the ability for people to share value and other sides to discovery value. This is a new medium through which consumers validate brands, and where brands are in a position to have a direct relationship with the customer. That means that they are not necessarily subject to a retailer telling a brand's story. A brand not only has an opportunity to tell a story and can tell it to the customer, it also has an interactive relationship and feedback loop with that customer. As a result, they can evolve and grow, as a brand has never evolved and grown before. Simultaneously to that, the brand now has the ability to directly communicate with, and sell to, the customer. A brand can now sell the product to the customer, at the same price, if not a little more than the brand was selling to the retailer.
In the old way of doing business, a brand had to come up with a message, linearly project it through repetition to establish the brand, and depend on the retailer to continue delivering that message to retail. They're disconnect from a customer, so that they are not in a position to see feedback and adjust their messaging, positioning, and brand. At the same time, a consumer is forced to pay two times the markup as a result of the requirements of retailers to markup the product. That's something that a disruptive guy like me salivated over.
What's the opportunity you see?
Brett Markinson: The environment now gives us a new medium, where you can create a new relationship between a brand, the customer, and retailer. That means new economics, and new ways to build, evolve, and grow a brand. This is absolutely front and center for the fashion and lifestyle space, which is all about the creation of aspirational brands. Fashion and lifestyle products are aspirational. People want to buy things because they want them, not because they need them. They're not utility-based products. There's nothing more important to a brand, than to build aspirations. That's something that's in the DNA of the Internet. It's the ultimate fertile ground to build an aspirational brand, and at the same time, a consumer can benefit not only in having a direct relationship with the brand, but you can also have a direct relationship in the form of consumption and ability to buy products, which have the level of quality and level of aspiration directly from the brand, sidestepping traditional retail markets.
How did Sole Society come out of all of this?
Brett Markinson: Sole Society was a skunkworks project point at this disruption, and was inside of Hautelook at the time I was building that company with my partner. When we sold to Nordstrom, everything was included. Nine months later, Nordstrom began integrating that into their business supply chain, and decided to shut down the skunkworks projects. At the time, I suggested that we sit down, because there was a huge trend developing, the direct to consumer trend. Companies like Warby Parker have been tapping into it, and the value proposition was self evident. The brand and high impact category of shoes, which was sitting inside of HauteLook, and which they were thinking of shutting down, plays incredibly nice into the evolution of the space. We sat down, and they were in adamant agreement that this is the future. They're a 12 billion juggernaut, with great visibility into disruptive dynamics. They were super excited about the opportunity, and wanted to figure out how to make it happen. I said to them, it gets even better. They said--what do you mean? My response was, look, the direct-to-consumer ethos I have described is the foundation of the next generation opportunity. That's what is really going to be the big opportunity of the future.
It's not just Warby Parker and going direct to consumer--that's powerful, and that's what's coming--but if you take a step back, and take off your myopic, Internet hat thinking, a consumer product brand is a consumer product brand because it resonated with consumers. However, consumers only buy fiteen percent of their lifestyle fashions on the Internet. 85 percent is still being purchased at stores. They still want to compare products, and to have that tactile experience available to them. Women are drivers of this consumerism. Location-based entertainment is shopping. That's not going away. Thinking it's just about the Internet is a myopic, single point of way to think about it. We're building a brand that we need to bring to the people, and where we need to leverage the ethos of the Internet, the DNA of the Internet, and the direct relationship with the customer. But, realizing only 15 percent of shopping happens online, and 85 percent offline, the reality is, if you want to build a 21st century brand, you have to leverage the ethos of direct-to-consumer relationships via the Internet, and at the same time, have a presence at retail. Because you have that direct-to-consumer relationship, it creates a different, economic relationship between a retailer and a customer, where the retailer can be more of a showroom, where the customer can learn about the brand, touch the brand, compare the brand, and see the value relative to others. But, we can competitively position the same product, the same fashion, in the same context, at a significantly lower price. That's because you don't need to make as much as through a traditional wholesaler when it's not your primary channel, and where it's your marketing showroom. It's about brand building, and validating the customer, and being a customer acquisition channel you don't have to pay for, and which is still accretive, and where you're making margin, but not just as much as traditional wholesale. You end up with abetter-than-traditional, wholesale blended margin, because you have a different relationship with the customer.
How did all the investors come together?
Brett Markinson: Nordstrom was super excited, and I was super excited about the opportunity, so I brought our old VC who backed Hautelook into the deal. We wanted to make sure our product was the best possible product we could deliver, in a highly scalable, high quality way. So, we brought in another investor, Vince Camuto, who invested in the business along with myself, Insight Ventures, and Nordstrom. Vince had built Nine West, which he sold successfully. As a result of the partnership, we now have the best shoe design manufacturer, the best retailer with the largest fashion footprint, and an entrepreneur who knows how to build and e-commerce company, and we're now embarking on a journey where we are working to develop the twenty-first century archetype of how brands are being built and produced. The whole thing is super, duper exciting, and it's all built in Southern California, and all an outgrowth of the experience with Hautelook and what we learned there. We have a blue chip partnership with fantastic, highly invested partners, that collectively, have the experience, credibility, resources, and access to figure out how to build this evolution in the relationship of brands, customers, and retailers.
What was the thinking to target shoes as a category first? Was there a reason?
Brett Markinson: Shoes are a high passion category for women, and shoes are probably one of the most frequent purchases for women. As a result of being both high frequency and high fashion, they have a fantastic capacity for the distribution of the message around value acquisition. When a girl finds a great deal on a pair of shoes, you tell your friends. Lastly, the thing we love about shoes, is there is a high level of ubiquity around fit, versus other high passion, high frequency fashion purchases. If you look at a woman's closet, they have the most variety in shoes. The next is probably something like a blouse or denim. But, those things are, in my individual opinion, not as Internet-friendly because of the unique dynamics around fit.
Finally, HauteLook went from startup to acquisition in record time -- not to mention, zero revenues to significant revenues. What enabled you to have such fast growth there?
Brett Markinson: I think it really comes down to being in the right place, at the right time. I've been doing this for a long time, and it comes down to timing. Like lots of things in life, it comes down to timing. I think the primary reason for the velocity is timing, and the second, most important ingredient was vision. We were able to have a very clear vision of the end point, and what the potential was. There's an old adage, which is you need to begin with the end in mind. That couldn't be more true in building a business, so that you have a good and healthy appreciation for where you are, what you are doing, and what you are trying to achieve. You have to have a vision that you can rally your troops around to get there. The third ingredient is focus, that that is very hard, and a challenging thing for young startups to be able to maintain. One of the reasons, is that as a young startup, you're working so quickly, opportunities are presenting themselves to you, and the idea of distraction is something very easy to fall victim to.
What I try to share with young entrepreneurs, when they ask for advice, is even though they might think that putting more irons into the fire will increase your probability for success, thinking that if you're doing ten things one might hit, nothing could be further from the truth. Winning in a game like business, especially in a fast, moving environment like the Internet, is it requires such focus that it's painful to maintain. It's very easy to lose sight of the prize, and to get nervous about your ability to acquire the prize. Often, startups will respond to that concern by distributing their bets over multiple initiatives, which just dilus their focus. My experience is you need to make a bet, and focus all of your energy on it. Don't make a bet, get nervous, and start hedging and diluting that focus. All that does is reduce your probability of success. I think that experience and history has taught me that you need to focus towards the end goal, and that's the key ingredient. We didn't get greedy, and we didn't try to be more than what we were, and didn't start hedging our bets in eighteen different directions.
Again, it's really about being in the right time and the right place, beginning with the end in mind, knowing what we're good at and not good at, and having the discipline and experience to stay incredibly focused, those are the three critical ingredients that enabled us to be able to ride the tide at the velocity the tide was going, and to be focused enough to get in and get out quickly, without any turbulence getting in our way.

ReleasesBack to
Andrew Hill
Black Fire, Andrew Hill's debut record for Blue Note, was an impressive statement of purpose that retains much of its power decades after its initial release. Hill's music is quite original, building from a hard bop foundation and moving into uncharted harmonic and rhythmic territory. His compositions and technique take chances; he often sounds restless, searching relentlessly for provocative voicings, rhythms, and phrases. Black Fire borrows from the avant-garde, but it's not part of it -- the structures remain quite similar to bop, and there are distinct melodies. Nevertheless, Hill and his band -- comprised of tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Roy Haynes -- are not content with the limitations of hard bop. Much of the music is informed by implied Afro-Cuban rhythms and modal harmonics, resulting in continually challenging and very rewarding music. Hill's complex chording is thoroughly impressive, and Henderson's bold solos are more adventurous than his previous bop outings would have suggested. Their expertise, along with the nimble, unpredictable rhythm section, help make Black Fire a modern jazz classic. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

BATAVIA – U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, said he believes excessive government regulations need to be lifted in order to grow the economy.
"We need common-sense regulation," Hultgren said during Thursday's legislative affairs luncheon at Lincoln Inn Banquets, sponsored by the Batavia Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "There is a lot of regulation that is crushing, especially for small businesses."
Hultgren has introduced the "Regulatory Sunset and Review Act" that would establish a process to review and, if needed, terminate regulations that have been in existence for years.
"My bill recognizes there are regulations on the books that made sense 20 to 30 years ago but don't now," Hultgren said.
This week is National Small Business Week. Hultgren on Thursday was presented with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's "Spirit of Enterprise" award for his efforts in workforce development.
"This is one of those recognitions that mean the most to me," Hultgren said in accepting the award. "I'm passionate about small businesses and entrepreneurship."
Hultgren also answered questions from the audience. Chris Beykirch, business development director for Aurora-based Alarm Detection Systems, asked Hultgren about how much political bickering goes on in Washington, D.C.
"I think it is overblown," Hultgren said. "It is part of a 24-hour news cycle. There are things that Republicans and Democrats disagree on, but there are many things we work together on."
Hultgren was also asked if he supported raising the minimum wage. He answered that the bigger issue is reducing the unemployment rate.
"I want people to have a good living wage, but more importantly, we still don't have enough jobs," Hultgren said. "If the minimum wage is too high, some of those jobs go away. How do we get this economy so it is truly growing?"
Hultgren also said he doesn't think comprehensive immigration reform will happen this year.
"There is activity," he said. "There is recognition that what we've got isn't working well anymore."

Forum Post: Healthcare Cost Calcultor
Posted 5 years ago on Aug. 28, 2013, 9:27 p.m. EST by TropicalDepression
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Hey, if you are making $12.50, and so is your wife, and you have a kid, who COULDN'T afford to pay an extra $80 a week for some shit care?
I mean, fuck em right? Fuck the poor is pretty much what this says.
Obama himself said the insurance companies have no problem with mandated. Really? How shocking.
So now if you cant afford it, you just get taxed at the end of the year.
How cool is that? Too poor to afford $80 a week? Well, fuck you, we are taking MORE money out of your tax return.
This law is an absolute disgrace to anyone who claims to be about healthcare for all. A total and absolute disgrace.
No misinformation here. Do the calculations yourself:

I have found some people with wacky opinions, therefore
Everyone must support my utterly deranged policy proposal.
As regular readers will know, one of the serial offenders for this rhetorical style is the Spectator's Nick Cohen, who is very fond of announcing that because Person (x) is bad and wrong, we must immediately do something tremendously stupid and counter-productive. Previous examples include:
George Galloway is a bad man who proposes bad ideas, so
Let's invade and occupy other countries.
Islamism is a horrible, vicious political movement with totalitarian aims, and thus
We must drop lots of high explosives on heavily-populated urban areas.
Lots of people now hold views that many people think are racist, but
I have decided those views aren't racist, so let's espouse these totally-not-racist views and win votes.
Given our mutual interests, I'm fond of using Nick as a weathervane for the trends of UK politics, so the following line from his latest column on the Labour Party poked out rudely, like a turd in a teacup:
"...The sleaziness of (Jeremy Corbyn's) behaviour has allowed his opponents to avoid a question that the rise of the SNP should have made unavoidable: Can they create a progressive English patriotism?"
Now, the main thrust of Nick's piece is that the Labour leader and his supporters are bad and evil and wrong but again, it's worth noting that Nick is saying:
Corbyn and his fans are bad and evil and wrong, and so
We must create a progressive English patriotism.
This idea - imitating the SNP's progressive nationalism - is exactly the kind of thing that strongly appeals to English people who are utterly clueless about Scotland, England and nationalism, and quite possibly about politics as well.
Here's why:
1) Plus ca change, plus c'est le meme chose
Which is French for, "Every few years some fucking berk wanders in and announces that we need to create, like, 'a progressive English patriotism', as if he's the first person ever to think of it".
Perhaps there is a way to harness this theoretical progressive patriotism - it has certainly been tried, by smarter people than Nick. On the other hand, it's worth noting that whenever you haul English patriotism to the polling station, it tends to vote for the meanest, ugliest, nastiest right-wing lunatic on the ballot.
Does this mean that English patriotism will forever be a weapon wielded only by angry Tories and country-dwelling, wannabe Mussolinis? Well, maybe not! It is, however, a strong indicator of the general flow of patriotic politics in that country.
This is before we address the likely ability of the available candidates to achieve success. Do Yvette or Hilary have the mettle to forge this new progressive alliance? Is Chukka going to win over the north with his fiery rhetoric?
Christ, no.
2) The SNP will absolutely love it.
The SNP in its modern form is basically the Labour Party's rhetoric and policies, delivered with barely-restrained anti-Westminster hysteria, to the extent that the only major difference between the two parties' manifestos in 2015 was over Trident, IIRC.
The SNP exists and thrives not because it has a big smiley, happy-happy attitude to patriotism, but because it has something clearly defined to push back against. All it says, week in and week out, is that we could have awesome hospitals and more jobs and better education, if it weren't for the BASTARD SWINE at Westminster.
It's only a small exaggeration to reduce the entire movement to "English people are all like, Rah-Rah, Faw-Faw-Faw, Let's smash the oiks, but Scottish people are just like, Aye, whatever pal, nae bother".
It's only a small exaggeration to reduce the entire movement to "English people are all like, Rah-Rah, Faw-Faw-Faw, Let's smash the oiks, but Scottish people are just like, Aye, whatever pal, nae bother".
Consider - is it likely that the solution for this is to create an equal and opposite form of the same thing? Can anyone see why this might create more problems than it solves?
This makes as much sense as trying to eradicate lions by feeding them steaks and steroids.
This makes as much sense as trying to eradicate lions by feeding them steaks and steroids.
3) Nationalism = Nationalism.
One of the SNP's celebrity supporters asked recently why the First Minister was on TV talking about holding another independence referendum, when a survey had just illustrated the terrible extent of poverty in Scotland.
This is a bit like asking why The Cookie Monster is on TV talking about how he wants to eat lots of cookies, while ignoring Scottish poverty.
Scottish nationalism is all about securing independence, by fair means or foul. Whatever your damnable progressive agenda is, there's little point in trying to bolt it onto the SNP. Anything that you try to stick to the side of the nationalist program will be immediately consumed by the single priority of independence, either now or further down the line.
And that's our happy-clappy, God-we-hate-the-English-but-welcome, foreign-friends! version of the phenomenon. You can probably imagine the types of thing that this theoretical English progressive patriotism would consume.
4) It's so nakedly disingenuous.
Nick has spent much of the last few years chiding us all for failing to heed the Very Real Concerns of the electorate about immigration. The EU Referendum has just taught us a very real lesson about the very high levels of racism in the Very Real Concerns of the electorate. The Labour right are still, this week, demanding that we all heed the Very Real Concerns of the electorate and act upon their wishes, despite knowing full-well what that entails, and which instincts they are fluffing.
Exactly how do you intend to square your "progressive English patriotism" with your simultaneous desire to win the votes of people who are willing to immiserate the country, economically and personally, because they don't like all the foreigners?
The answer, of course, is that this "progressive English patriotism" will not be very "progressive" at all, particularly not in relation to immigrants and immigration. Unless there's something I'm missing, an anti-immigration left-wing party would be little more than a touchier-and-feelier Ukip.
And finally, it should go without saying that the idea of a touchy-feely, left-wing Ukip is
5) Utter electoral insanity.
It's basically saying: "We have lost much of rural Britain, so what we need to do now is to tell all of our city-dwelling supporters to fuck off as well, and then we will win".
Why, in the name of sanity, would anyone who wants to see a political party succeed demand that it force such an obviously destructive policy down the necks of its few remaining supporters?
Well, perhaps this is the final answer to that question.
Bonus silliness: I like how Nick berates "commentators" who "throw around the 'far left' label without stopping to ask what it means", before Nick throws around the far-left label without informing us of what it means.
I also like "Utopias are always banal", which is a cracking point to hear from one of the country's most enthusiastic supporters of extreme transformative violence as a means to creating democracy and stability.
And I imagine everyone chuckled at Nick's pronouncements upon what is and isn't good writing.
And that line, "In my world of liberal journalism". Polemicist, damn thyself.

Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ) said on Tuesday that it plans to sell HTC Corp's latest smartphone, the Droid DNA, as its flagship phone for the holiday season.
Continue Reading Below
The device may help HTC in its battle against arch-rivals Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), to which it has heavily lost ground in recent years.
While Verizon Wireless also sells Samsung and Apple phones, its promise that the Droid DNA is its "flagship for the season" may indicate heavier marketing of that particular device.
"We think it's poised to be a real blockbuster for the holidays and certainly into 2013," Verizon Wireless Chief Marketing Officer Tami Erwin said at a press event.
The Droid DNA will cost $199 to customers who sign a two-year contract and goes on sale November 21, the day before Thanksgiving, the un-official start of the shopping season.
The device has a large 5-inch display and a high-resolution image quality for photographs and video.
The DNA's displays pictures with a 440 pixels per inch density, which according to HTC is the sharpest resolution so far on a smartphone screen. In comparison, Apple's latest iPhone offers a 326 pixels per inch display while the Samsung Galaxy S III has 306 pixels per inch.
"This screen is really what sets Droid DNA apart," said Jonah Becker, HTC's design director who took the unusual step of comparing several of the phone's features directly with Samsung devices at the event.
The executive said the phone's display had an 80 degrees viewing angle, which was much wider than that of the Galaxy S III, and he said that the display is also brighter than the S III, Samsung's flagship phone.
HTC likely made the Samsung comparison because both HTC and Samsung devices run on Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android software, Current Analysis analyst Avi Greengart said.
"For HTC it's actually more important to win the head to head battles with Samsung," than trying to compete with Apple's popular iPhone, Greengart said, adding that an advertising push from Verizon Wireless should also help.
However, HTC may lose something from the fact that Verizon Wireless will advertise the device under the "Droid" brand, which it stamps on lots of Android phones from many different vendors, said another analyst, Ross Rubin, who is founder of Reticle Research.
"The Droid brand has been a double-edged sword for manufacturers," Rubin said.
While Droid promotions help volume sales to Verizon Wireless customers, the manufacturer's brand identity takes a back seat, lessening the sales boost outside Verizon Wireless, Rubin said.
The phone will be exclusive to Verizon Wireless in the United States. A similar device is being sold in Japan under the Butterfly brand, HTC said.
The DNA comes with a wireless charging pad that allows the user to set the phone down to charge it rather than plugging it in. The charger is a direct challenge to Finland's Nokia, which also sells wireless charging pads with its smartphones.
Verizon Wireless is a venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group Plc (NASDAQ:VOD).

Less than a day? Yes, six hours is less than a day...but it sound more impressive to say six hours ;)I put in $20 for the early supporter digital copy. I figure it's worth betting $20 on, but I doubt I'll raise that.
I want to know who these people are that have +$10K to drop on the funding of a video game. What the hell?

How Can Your Educational Modules Contain Interactive Online Simulation?
Additional materials available (2)
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
The Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) is a multi-university, NSF-funded initiative with a mission to lead in research, education, and outreach to students and professionals, while at the same time deploying a unique web-based cyber-infrastructure to serve the nation''s National Nanotechnology Initiative. The primary NCN outreach vehicle is the nanoHUB, our web site found at http://nanoHUB.org. The nanoHUB currently provides interactive online simulation and educational resources such as tutorials, seminars, and online courses. In 2004 alone, over 3,200 users explored our educational and outreach resources. Over 1,000 users performed some 60,000 on-line simulations. The raw web-page hit count exceeded 3.7 million. The nanoHUB provides access to about 30 research codes, ranging from toy-models to sophisticated simulation engines. Users can access these codes on their own desktop through any standard web browser, with no special setup or installation requirements. The NCN provides the resource for models, simulation and computation free of charge and reach a broad audience.
One facet of this infrastructure involves the development of educational modules tailored to the instructional needs of different communities and educational backgrounds. These educational modules will be hosted on the nanoHUB and will break down the elements of the curriculum into smaller components tied to simulation exercises on the nanoHUB. The educational modules will consist of PowerPoint presentations with voice-over, lecture videos on various nanoscience topics, and learning objects that link to online tools, quizzes, homework problems, and problem solutions. These educational modules will be described using a formal XML-based metatagging scheme being considered by IEEE for adoption. Adherence to such global e-learning standards will allow us to post these module descriptions at other web-sites, such as the NSF sponsored MERLOT web-site (http://merlot.org), and it will allow educators and scientists at a wide range of institutions to integrate these modules into on-line class management systems.
This presentation will overview the NCN mission, our cyberinfrastructure for software deployment, and our approach to developing and deploying educational modules on the nanoHUB.

U.S. government scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory recently launched a program aimed at adapting homes and buildings to use electricity and other energy sources more efficiently. Led by researcher Jeff Muhs, the team is examining power systems from a building or home to the original transmission source to determine better efficiencies. The project focuses on automation, robotics, sensors, and other tools to reduce energy consumption, accounting for a number of variables such as a building's construction, its ability to regulate temperature, and how outside conditions impact the inside environment. The research is funded by the U.S. Dept. of Energy.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have started to prepare for life in League One by releasing four of their star players.
Midfielders Karl Henry and Jamie O'Hara have been transfer listed alongside defenders Roger Johnson and Steven Ward, all of whom featured in Wolves' Premier League campaign.
But despite this, Wolves had a torrid time in the Championship last season, finishing 23rd after many had thought they would be challenging for promotion.
Wolves appointed two managers last season following relegation from the Premier League in 2011. Norwegian Stale Solbakken lasted only five months, and was sacked in January.
Solbakken's replacement Dean Saunders fared no better, being sacked after four months in May.
Beside from the managerial changes, the players shouldered much of the blame too, with the likes of O'Hara and Johnson failing to perform after playing in the Premier League the season before.
And following the releases, new manager Kenny Jackett looks ready to stamp his own authority on the Wolves squad, beginning by transfer-listing four of Wolves' most well-known players as the team return for the beginning of pre-season.
A statement on Wolves' official website read: "As a starting point to a reshaped squad. Wolves have confirmed that Karl Henry, Stephen Ward, Jamie O'Hara and Roger Johnson have officially been made available for transfer.
"Following the squad's return to pre-season training this morning, head coach Kenny Jackett spoke individually to the four players to inform them of his decision.
"Conversations had already taken place with the players' agents throughout the close season as Wolves prepare for the League One campaign," their statement continued.

Serves: Makes 1 serving
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1½ teaspoons olive oil
- 1 small Yukon gold or other potato, cooked, peeled, and sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1 cup thinly, vertically sliced yellow onion
- Pinch of coarse salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 or 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 (2- x 6-inch) slice smoked salmon, cut into ¼-inch wide strips
- 1½ teaspoons tablespoon minced fresh chives
Procedures:The potatoes and onions in this hearty omelet can be the starting point for many omelet fillings. Substitute bits of smoked ham, prosciutto, smoked trout, even bacon for the salmon. You can also omit the potatoes and instead add a couple of sliced cooked asparagus.
In an 8- or 9-inch skillet, heat ½ tablespoon of the butter with the oil over medium heat until the butter has melted. Add the potatoes and cook, without turning, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until browned. Turn the potatoes over with a flat spatula and push to one side. Add the onion, decrease the heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the onion is golden. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Place the eggs in a medium bowl and add the water. Stir with a flat whisk, spiral whisk, or a fork just until blended. Add a pinch of salt and a grinding of pepper.
Heat a 7- or 8-inch omelet pan over medium heat for about 1 minute, or until hot. Add the remaining ½ tablespoon of butter and heat for 10 seconds, or until the butter foams and then begins to subside. Immediately pour the eggs into the center of the pan. They should sizzle on contact. Cook for about 10 seconds, or until the bottom is just set. Using a flat-edged silicone spatula, pull the set edges from the sides of the pan toward the center and tilt the pan to allow the unset egg to run toward the sides of the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the eggs are soft set.
With a spoon, spread the potatoes and onions in the center of the omelet. Top with the pieces of salmon.
Remove the pan from the heat. Using a flat-edged rubber or silicone spatula, turn the third of the omelet nearest the handle over the filling in the center. Holding the pan by the handle, tilt the pan. With the edge of the spatula, guide the omelet as it rolls out onto a plate, forming a seam-side-down envelope. Serve at once.

How good is your website? Does it do its job? Is it effective? These are all good questÃons that every business owner and marketing manager needs to ask him or herself. The website has become an essential tool for business. We all know we have to have a website, but are we using this venue to its greatest advantage?
Most people responsible for their company's websites have stats packages and counters to tell them how many hits, how many unique visitors, where they are coming from, what their IP addresses are, what browser they're using, and of course the all important monitor resolution. So what! Who cares? The real question is do we have an effective website?
Now if you have a transactional website, commonly referred to as an e-commerce site, you know the number of salës you are generating from your site, which is important, but do you really know how effective your site is? How many orders are you losing because of bad layout, awkward design, confusing navigation, and poor copy? How many potential clients have you chased away because you haven't put a telephone number on your site and an accessible real-person that can answer questÃons?
A website is your business' public face. Big businesses can look like mom and pop operations and mom and pop operations can look like General Motors. The design of your website should not be taken lightly, its budget should not be an afterthought, and the designer you hire should be someone who understands more than code. Your Web-designer should be a multimedia-marketing advisor, someone who can counsel you how best to deliver your marketing message, and someone who can go beyond technical issues.
You can spend a lot of monëy and have someone analyze your site for you, but are you really going to believe him, are you really going to act on their recommendations? You can't sell somebody something they really don't want – that may sound obvious, but believe me, salës people do it everyday. If you don't think you need a new website, you aren't going to spend the monëy to have one built. So the best way to tell if you need one is to analyze the one you already have, yourself.
Below is a set questÃons you can ask yourself. If you answer them honestly, you'll know whether you need a new site or not. After you've gone through the process, ask some colleagues to do the same. See if your answers compare.
1. Does Your Website Have A Purpose?
Every website should have a clearly defined purpose. Having a website just because everyone else has one is not an acceptable strategy. What is your website's purpose?
a. Transactional sales-oriented site
b. Customer service support site
c. How to instructional site
d. Product or service demonstration site
e. Lead generation site
f. Marketing, branding, positioning site
g. Promotional campaign site
h. Viral or buzz creation site
2. Is Your Website Focused?
Too many businesses both large and small use their website as an information junkyard, a dumping ground for everything you do, everything you've done, and everything you ever thought of doing. This won't work. Customers are like children; they want clarity, direction, and unequivocal answers. Your website should be focused on a singular function. URLs are cheap, there is no reason you can't have different websites for every major thing you do, or every marketing campaign you initiate. How focused is your website?
3. How Functional Is Your Website?
Everybody knows that websites should be easy to use, that you shouldn't have to drill-down too deep to find what you're looking for, and of course everything should work. Your website is a communication tool. If your website doesn't work properly, the only thing you're communicating is incompetence. How functional is your website?
4. Does Your Website's Construction Balance Competing Concerns?
Websites by their very nature are a compromise of competing issues. Aesthetics, multimedia, frame construction, HTML, Flash, client-side, server-side, data bases, SEO tactics, information architecture, marketing communication, transaction efficiency all compete for precedence in the design of a site. Are you sacrificing clarity, focus, and communication for SEO tricks and unattainable traffÃc numbers? Did you start with an IT solution like a database and build your site around a poorly conceived information delivery system. Does your website's design reflect your sites' defined business purpose or is it a result of secondary technical concerns?
5. Does your website honestly reflect your business personality?
Does your website represent and promote your marketing objectives? Okay, this is a trick question for many small owner-managed businesses. Marketing is not salës. Marketing is about communicating who you are, what you do, and why you do it better than the other guy. Marketing is about image building, branding, and positioning, in other words, enhancing your business personality. Does your website honestly reflect your business personality?
6. Is your Web-presentation integrated into your overall marketing plan?
Too many websites bear no relation to the rest of their business' marketing initiatives. Everything your company does should reflect an over-riding ethos, point-of-view, and personality. If your marketing collaterals don't match your website presentation, you are confusing your audience. Is your Web-presentation integrated into your overall marketing plan?
7. Is content king on your website?
I once had a fairly large manufacturing client ask me to build a website based on a business card and ten 8×10 glossies of discontinued merchandise. This fellow was so paranoid that his competitors would see what he was doing that he hid his products from his customers. This business is now bankrupt. We've all heard the saying 'content is king'. Is content king on your website? Does your website adequately display and explain what you do, what products you sell, and what services you provide? Are there examples of your work? Are there testimonials from your customers? Have you provided information on how to order, how to use, and how to resolve problems? Is content really king on your website?
8. Is your website an experience?
You watch television, you listen to the radio, you read a magazine, but you experience a website. Unlike other marketing vehicles, websites provide you the opportunÃty to deliver your marketing message with the full complement of multimedia tools. Websites can stimulate all the senses, sight, sound, and interactive touch in order to communicate and connect with your audience. Websites are not brochures. Visitors shouldn't just see your website, they should experience it. Is your website an experience?
9. Does your website have a distinctive look?
The notion of the flaming animated logo has become a cliché for bad design and style over substance, but that does not mean your website should be aesthetically boring and visually dreary. Your site should display clarity of vision; it should provide functional page layout; its use of colors, type, and static and kinetic visuals should be distinctive and purposeful. Your website should provide a defining "Look" that enhances your business personality. Does your website display a distinctive look that represents your business personality?
10. Do you list appropriate contact information on your website?
I remember going to a meeting with a client who was in the construction business. The Vice President of the company was hopping mad. He demanded his email address be taken off the site immediately. He wasn't going to waste any more time dealing with client emails and inquiries. Websites are all about connecting you to your clients, not hiding from them. If you think you can put your website on autopilot and that a FAQ and Q&A are going to cut-it, you better think again. Does your website have adequate contact information? Do you list appropriate email addresses and telephone numbers for the people responsible for various aspects of your business?
There you have it. Ten questÃons that when answered honestly will tell you whether or not you have a website that works and whether or not you need to rebuild.

Mr. Jonathan G. Katz
Re: Regulation SHO
Dear Sir:
My name is Travis Whitten, and I am a licensed registered representative for a large day trading firm on the street. This letter serves as a personal platform to list major concerns with regards to the proposed replacement of SEC Rules 3b-3, 10a-1 and 10a-2, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with Regulation SHO.
From my understanding there are three main proposals concerning Regulation SHO listed here in as follows:
As a professional trader I feel more than qualified to express trepidation with two of the three main proposals. The main problem with implementing this particular new bid test would require that a short sale be effected at least one cent above the best bid at the time of execution. This differs from the current Nasdaq bid test, which prohibits short sales at or below the best bid when the best bid displayed is below the preceding bid. Effectively, the new proposal limits a trader's opportunities to participate in fair market place. Eliminating the current Nasdaq bid test confines a trader to lose the opportunity to short on an "up arrow," restricting one to pay an exceedingly higher price to execute a buy order. If a customer wishes to buy his or her securities at a specified price and another customer desires to get short that security why should that be an illegal execution? I believe that changing this rule will result in an unfair market that will not enable buyers and sellers to match at the best possible price.
In regards to the suspension of the bid test rule in certain securities, I believe this is a step in the right direction, but still could be improved. Due to the massive volume in these stocks, I do not believe that it would give an accurate assessment of the short sale rule. As I am an active participant in market activity, I should not be restricted to shorting rules when major market makers are aloud to short whenever they want. I believe that it is an unfair advantage given to entrenched players in the stock market that limits small time investors who play active rolls in the market. The short sale rule should be abolished altogether, not just in liquid stocks, so that everyone who is involved in the market has the same opportunity as major market players.
Thank you for your consideration with my concerns. I look forward to your changes and hope that they work out to the advantage for every investor and not just the privileged few.
Travis P. Whitten

My almost six year old son is almost 80 lbs. I cant get him to eat anything but starch, dary, brocoli and manderin oranges in juice. I have him help prepar food and vegies, even deserts with friut, but he wont eat it. Also he is hungry every 30 minuts. Any sugestions?
Without knowing your sons' height, it is difficult to judge where his weight falls on a growth chart. As for your son being hungry every thirty minutes, does he have any underlying medical conditions or take any medication? If the answer to both of those questions is no, I would suggest that you take your son for a full physical check up to ensure his growth and development are on track. The goal for weight management for a child this age is to slow his weight gain to allow his height to "catch up". It is very rarely necessary to put such a young child on a calorie restricted diet.
As for the food preferences, start with the positive. He likes broccoli and mandarin oranges! Children at this age are still very impressionable and it is not too late to learn healthy eating behaviors. One thing to consider-the most important role model a child has for eating is his parents. Do you encourage him to try new foods? Do you eat fruits and vegetables often? Children learn by example.
Start slowly. Ask your son to accompany you to the grocery store to pick out a new fruit or vegetable that he would be willing to try. (Try our downloadable supermarket scavenger hunt and eater meter to make it fun!) But don't be discouraged if he doesn't like something at first try, keep trying!
Also, give him ample opportunity to be active for about 1 hour each day, which will help manage his weight.
For more help, find a registered dietitian at www.eatright.org in your area that can work with you one on one.

I missed the boat again... I'm getting sick of looking around for these and Hasbro never has enough of them at a time to make it worth ordering (that I am quick enough to get at least). Where's the best place to buy cases from nowadays? I used to order from Kebco a few years ago but I guess that ship has sailed.
I'm looking for an easy solution, without paying too much over regular retails - but the case option isn't so great for me when theres only 6 or so out of 12 that I'm in the market for.

Leigh Steinberg has plenty of reason to celebrate during his upcoming Super Bowl Party in Dallas. It's Super Bowl XLV, but for the Newport Beach resident whose fame came as a sports agent, it's Steinberg Party XXV.
Because his party is in its 25th year, Steinberg is doing his best to make it memorable. His parties have been known for their extravagance and attention to charities. He wants to turn it up a notch.
Amid all the fun, which he often refers to as, "a three-ring circus," Steinberg will honor his friend, Gabrielle Giffords, the U.S. Rep. who is recovering from a gunshot wound to the head suffered during a shooting at a grocery store in Tucson, Ariz. Jan. 8.
Giffords has been seen at past Steinberg parties. She would have been there this year, as she helped Steinberg provide a live video hook-up with U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. Current and former pro athletes in attendance at the party will be set up to talk to the troops. Steinberg's connection to Giffords was recently featured by USA Today.
Giffords also helped Steinberg acquire communication with wounded warriors, as a set of phones will be in place at the party for people to talk to the soldiers in hospitals.
Steinberg said he'll provide a special tribute film in Giffords' honor. It will happen at some point during the party on Saturday. There will be a lot going on. The day is so special, there will be two parties.
The guest list alone gives an indication that this should be a great party.
You know it's a party when Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino shows up. Steinberg chuckled last week when he confirmed that the "Jersey Shore" star was coming.
Former NFL stars Troy Aikman and Franco Harris, as well as actors, such as Adam Sandler, are expected to attend. Former President George W. Bush is also supposed to drop in.
And, if that wasn't enough, there will also be at least one surprise for Steinberg.
"There have always been some interesting experiences at my parties," said Steinberg, who's unsure if he'll go to the big game the next day. "It depends on how tired I am if I go to the game. It's OK; I've been to about 30 of them."
Steinberg knows football and he knows a good party. He's thrown parties with Playboy.com and Russell Simmons.
At his Super Bowl parties, he likes to provide themes that are in line with the city that hosts the big game. He plans to have armadillo races during the party.
He also enjoys that his parties donate to charities and educate the public about issues such as green awareness.
Some of the party will be donating to the North Dallas Food Bank. Steinberg also plans to raise money for water purifying machines to be sent to Haiti.
"There will be people there from every form of entertainment," Steinberg said. "And we'll have politicians from every side. We'll have a number of different sponsors. The funds we raise will go to charity. The party is being broadcast on local TV there and a number of radio stations will be there."
Steinberg will be making the rounds on Friday in Dallas on Radio Row, doing his best to publicize the party. By the time the Steelers and Packers take the field on Sunday, Steinberg joked that he'll need a vocal-chord transplant.
He must get the word out about his party. He's competing against other big-time names trying to throw the best bash.
The Black-Eyed Peas will headline Sports Illustrated's party, according to a Reuters report. Prince and hip-hop artist Diddy are also throwing parties.
The least expensive ticket to the Super Bowl was $2,194 last week on Stub Hub. These parties can go for a lot more.
Prince is charging $25,000 for a "head table" of 10, Reuters reported.
Steinberg has heard that a ticket for his gala goes for $3,500. But he says he doesn't charge that much for those who know him.
After all, he says he's throwing a party for 2,500 of his closest friends. That will take place at Eddie Deen Ranch in Dallas. More people will surely come.
As the party goes into the night, the second party will begin. A featured part of the celebration will be the Multi-Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Steinberg is being inducted for his contributions to the world of sports and for his humanitarian efforts.
More than likely, Steinberg won't be going to the Super Bowl. He'll definitely watch.
"This is as classic a conflict you can find between two teams," he said of the Pittsburgh-Green Bay matchup. "Football is larger than life in those cities."
In addition to party planning, Steinberg stays busy. He's planning to re-launch his sports agent firm next month.
He has also been a go-to guy on several issues relating to football. He was recently featured in a Los Angeles Times story about the possible return of football to L.A. Steinberg was in charge of the "Save the Rams" project when the team left L.A.
He's also often asked for expertise about concussions, as he's headed efforts on awareness for years.
Now many are asking for his take on the NFL labor situation that's expected to result in a lockout. NFL owners including Jerry Jones (Cowboys) and Bob Kraft (Patriots) are expected to attend his party, and the ongoing battle should be a hot topic.
"It would be suicidal to have a strike or labor stoppage," Steinberg said. "Brighter minds need to prevail. Who wants to be the person who destroys this golden goose?
"Both sides need to cool down the rhetoric and take a look at the catastrophic effect that a lockout could have. A labor fight that would pit billionaires [owners] against millionaires [players] would be one that would not be followed by the fans."
But all that NFL labor stuff can wait. This weekend, it's time to party.

Hope College nursing graduates have consistently bested the national and state averages in passing the national licensing exam. This year, they did it perfectly.
Every Hope College nursing graduate of the 2010-11 school year passed the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). It is the highest pass rate in the history of the program, which achieved pass rates of 97 percent during 2009-10 and 95 percent during 2008-09.
The state and national averages for 2010-11 were 92 percent and 91 percent respectively.
The department of nursing at Hope began in 2002, although nursing education at the college goes back another two decades. From 1982 through 2003, Hope and Calvin College operated a nursing program jointly before creating their own, independent programs.
The program, which leads to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), is approved by the Michigan Board of Nursing and is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
Students begin studies in the program as sophomores based on completion of prerequisite classes as freshmen. The major includes coursework on campus as well as multiple field placements, the latter spread across six specialty practicum courses, a research practicum, a family health course and an internship. Area clinical sites have included DeVos Children's Hospital, Holland Hospital, the Ottawa County Health Department, Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services, Spectrum Health and Zeeland Hospital.

Poor Al Gore: Despite two Academy Awards for his movie on global warming, and a Supreme Court ruling dealing the Bush administration a wrist slap for its obstinacy in dealing with vehicle emissions that contribute to the greenhouse effect, Gore still — in the words of comedian Rodney Dangerfield — "don't get no respect."
Fresh from his Hollywood triumph, the former vice president returned to Congress for the first time since 2001 to appeal for assistance in enacting measures to offset Earth's rising temperatures. While he was welcomed cordially by many members, others raked him over the coals, including one who bluntly opined, "You're not just off a little, you're totally wrong."
Another accused him of hypocrisy for excessive energy use at his 10,000- square foot Tennessee home (the city of Belle Meade last week changed its zoning laws, which now will allow the Gores and others to install rooftop solar panels), and then several Republican senators refused to support a resolution Gore sought to stage a "Live Earth" concert on the Capitol grounds July 7, terming it "highly partisan" and "politically controversial."
Letters to the editor writers, who wax apoplectic at the thought of anything Gore, have generated an avalanche of missives labeling global warming "a myth," calling projections of the long term consequences "one-sided attempts by the liberal media and government to promote lies," and terming it "the means to an end by a global power elite that favors a United Nations world government."
He should be used to it. Twenty years ago, as a Tennessee congressman, Gore joined a handful of scientists and climatology experts in hoisting warning flags about the weather consequences of continuing to spew increasing amounts of man-generated gases into the atmosphere — creating a chorus of derision by skeptics and naysayers that continues to this day.
I remember, about that same time, attending a national conference on future weather trends, at which a noted climatologist gave a presentation on the then-obscure theory of the El Niño phenomenon, and he was almost hooted off the stage.
Over the succeeding two decades, however, the advent of supercomputers and the accumulation and analysis of massive amounts of very accurate weather data have allowed scientists to conclusively document not only El Niño, but its weaker sibling, La Niña, and forecast their impact worldwide. (A strong El Niño was behind the almost-tropical January over much of the United States.)
Similarly, more data and the ability to better analyze those data, have established with over 90 percent certainty that these greenhouse gases are contributing to a global rise in temperature, causing climate changes, glacier melt, shifts in plant and animal species, and a host of other weather-related phenomena.
Will all this result in swelling seas that submerge coastal areas and low-lying cities? Will Minnesotans one day be able to grow cotton?
Maybe. Maybe not. Nobody, including Al Gore, can say for sure. But thousands of respected scientists worldwide believe there is a potential danger to our planet from unchecked emissions.
To turn a deaf ear may adversely impact the lives of our children and grandchildren.

'''Ogres''' were monstrous and destructive creatures of legend and folklore. In fact, it is doubtful whether Ogres ever existed in [[Middle-earth]].
Revision as of 20:23, 1 July 2012
Ogres were monstrous and destructive creatures of legend and folklore. In fact, it is doubtful whether Ogres ever existed in Middle-earth.
During the Riddle-game with Gollum, Bilbo Baggins in his attempt to solve Gollum's fifth riddle, he sat thinking of all the horrible names of all the giants and ogres he had ever heard told of in tales.[1].
No ogre is ever mentioned in the annals of the Elder Days and none played any role in the wars and battles. It is entirely possible that they were a mythical race.
It is also possible that Ogre were just another name for the Trolls.[2]
Other versions of the legendarium
Ogres were used by J.R.R. Tolkien in early drafts of the legendarium as a name for one of the monsters bred by Melkor along with Gongs and the other Úvanimor.[3]
They are mentioned as cannibal giants. Those of the north were known as Hongwir while the southern ones were named Sarqindi.[4] Sarqindi is glossed as "Cannibal-ogres".[5]
Tolkien mentioned again ogres out of context in analyses of the name Orc: "...the gloss Þyrs 'ogre'..." , and of the name Ettendales: "This is meant to be a Common Speech (not Elvish) name, though it contains an obsolete element eten 'troll, ogre'."[2]
In his childhood, Tolkien and his brother Hilary gave a miller and a farmer, who frightened the boys and lived near the Sarehole Mill in the Moseley area of Birmingham, the nicknames "White Ogre" and "Black Ogre", respectively.[6] These characters also appear in stories written by Hilary Tolkien.[7]
Tolkien enjoyed reading E.A. Wyke-Smith's The Marvellous Land of Snergs (1927) to his children. The book recounts the adventures of two children and a Snerg ("a race of people only slightly taller than the average table"), and their tale include meeting the vegetarian ogre Golithos.[8]
Portrayal in adaptations
2007-: The Lord of the Rings Online:
- Ogres, also known as the Jorthkyn, are unfriendly Earth-kin, related to Giants. They are predominantly found in Nan Amlug East in the North Downs.[9]

CTA new fare system shares name with others
The CTA announced Thursday it will be naming a new fare system it shares with Pace "Ventra." Ventra will start next summer. CTA spokesman Brian Steele said the name Ventra" is derived from the Latin word "ventus," meaning "wind." Steele said the name is an homage to Chicago's nickname "The Windy City." "Ventra reinforces public transit as an integral part of Chicago's culture and history," Steele said. But the CTA is not alone in using "Ventra." RedEye looks at other entities named "Ventra."

Last December, we teamed up with New York Times bestseller Tim Ferriss and launched the Build-A-Business Contest to bribe aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue their dream and start a business with a $100,000 prize reward. During the contest, over 1,375 entrepreneurs generated $3.5M of revenue!
Craig Dalton and Patrick Buckley were one of those people that took a leap of faith and started DODOcase. They combined their passion for bookbinding and woodcraft to produce a unique iPad case. In only a few months, they got more than 10,000 orders.
It's been 4 months since the boys received the grand prize of $100,000 so we flew down to San Francisco to catch up with them and ended up recording this awesome video. We hope it motivates you to pursue your own aspirations.
So what did they do with all that money!? Here's a snippet of the interview we had with Craig, co-founder of DODOcase.
Q1: Since winning the contest, how are things at DODOcase? What's new?
Things are great at DODOcase. We continue to produce exceptional cases for the iPad from our traditional book bindery in San Francisco. We've expanded the operation and now have our own facility just a block away from the book bindery. Since winning the contest our products have been featured in the NY Times, Vanity Fair, Sunset and will grace the pages of Vogue Magazine in December. The extended team of partners and colleagues continues to grow as we've launched new products like the DODObag (in collaboration with Rickshaw Bagworks) and a host of accessories.
Q2: What did you do with the $100,000 prize?
The first thing we did with the prize money was take our team, our partners and family members out for a great celebration. DODOcase has never been just about the 4 of us, it has always been about the great community of artisans and partners we work with. It was great to take a moment to celebrate all the crazy and fun stories we've had along the way. We had a great laugh we when asked our partners what they first thought when Patrick and I approached them with the DODOcase concept.
As for the bulk of the prize money, we've focused on expanding the DODOcase brand, developing new products, relaunching our website and building out our prototyping facility dubbed DODOlabs. This has enabled us to experiment with new processes and come up with new products. We just launched our second core product, the DODOcase for Kindle.
Q3: If you had one piece of advice to share with someone starting a Shopify store, what would it be?
When starting a store on Shopify, we always tell people to focus on their products and their vision and let Shopify do the rest. Don't worry too much about the e-commerce elements of the business as the e-commerce ninjas' at Shopify have that covered!

Real Estate News for August 2013
British Businessman Vows to Restore Liberace Mansion
Posted by Diann Tonnesen on Friday, August 30th, 2013 at 10:45am.
An historical remnant of Las Vegas' colorful heyday made the news this week: the 15,000 square foot Liberace Mansion. Built in 1962, Liberace purchased the mansion in 1974 and made it uniquely his own. Containing only two bedrooms but a whopping 10 bathrooms, the mansion still exhibits evidence of Liberace's original decor, including large piano key decorations, ancient Greek pillars and a bedroom ceiling adorned with a $1.6 million reproduction of Michelangelo's painting from the Sistine Chapel.

Rising prices lift half of Las Vegas homes above water
By JENNIFER ROBISON
Rising home prices have thrown a life preserver to thousands of locals who are underwater on their home loans.
Thanks to double-digit price gains over the past year, the number of Las Vegans with negative equity — owing more on their mortgage than their home is worth — fell below the 50 percent watermark in the quarter that ended in June, according to real estate website Zillow. Homes for Sale in Seven Hills
That means most of the market is above water for the first time since Zillow began tracking equity in early 2011, and housing inventories and consumer spending could benefit, experts said. Read More
Carpenter 1 wildfire may devalue homes in Spring Mountains
By BEN BOTKIN
Edward Underhill and his dogs Ziggy and Foxy Lady returned to his Kyle Canyon cabin on Wednesday morning, after he had watched the fire roar from his home in Pahrump.
He and his neighbors have good reason to be thankful. Their homes escaped the flames of a forest fire that charred the mountains and forced the evacuation of Kyle Canyon.
But that doesn't mean property owners will come out completely unscathed from the massive Carpenter 1 Fire that devastated about 28,000 acres of forest in the Spring Mountains.
Analyses of other wildfire-hit mountain communities in the West suggests he and his Mount Charleston neighbors might lose… Read More
Las Vegas leads all cities with 24.9 percent home-price gain
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — U.S. home prices rose 12.1 percent in June from a year earlier with Las Vegas leading all cities with a 24.9 percent gain.
But month-over-month price gains slowed in most markets, a sign that higher mortgage rates may weigh on the housing recovery.
The Standard &Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index slowed only marginally from May's year-over-year gain of 12.2 percent, the fastest since March 2006. And all 20 cities posted gains from the previous month and compared with a year ago, according to the report released Tuesday. Read More
