"Taking cover"
Homeland Security SAFETY Act Web site
"Ensuring liability protection"
Homeland Security Department officials have granted four companies that sell antiterrorism technologies liability protection from lawsuits that might result from terrorist attacks.
Lockheed Martin Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp., Teledyne Technologies Inc. and Michael Stapleton Associates (MSA) are the first companies to have specific products designated and certified under the landmark Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002, better known as the Safety Act.
If the companies' antiterrorism products malfunction during a terrorist attack, company officials would not be held responsible, for the most part. Congress passed the act to encourage companies to develop and deploy innovative homeland security products that they otherwise might not attempt because they fear liability lawsuits.
Several experts said DHS' June 18 announcement granting liability protection to the four companies' anti-terrorism products is welcome news for other companies.
"I think it's going to provide certainty to those people who are deciding whether or not it was worth undertaking the process and provide some clarity on what protections are provided," said John Clerici, an attorney at McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP, which helped write the act and represents Teledyne and MSA. "I do think it's going to open up the floodgates."
Although there was a rush to provide the government with homeland security technologies after Sept. 11, 2001, many companies with a lot of government business were nervous about the lack of liability protections, said Peter Kant, senior vice president of Jefferson Consulting Group LLC.
He said the announcement is a major step forward, but he added that some of his clients seeking Safety Act coverage are still concerned about the department's slow pace. He said a few clients are also concerned about providing proprietary information about their companies to DHS.
"My hope is ... that by starting with these four [applications] — so complex in the certification needs and evaluation — other ones will now flow much more quickly," he said. "I'm optimistic, hopeful, not necessarily convinced that's going to be happening."
Some House lawmakers shared vendors' concerns and sent a three-page letter to DHS Secretary Tom Ridge in May calling for a more streamlined process.
Clerici said DHS issued interim regulations last year and has solicited extensive feedback to improve the process. DHS is expected to issue new regulations in the next 60 to 90 days, which would be available for public comment.
Since October 2003, when DHS' Office of Safety Act Implementation opened, 91 preapplications and 19 full applications have been submitted.
Lockheed Martin won approval for its risk assessment platform, a computer system that provides near-real-time terrorism threat analysis, and the U.S. Postal Service is using Northrop Grumman's biohazard detection system in mail-sorting facilities nationwide.
MSA officials have liability protection for the company's explosives-detection services and SmartTech System, which helps first responders view images of suspicious items.
Teledyne's WaterSabre product is a remotely operated ultra-high-pressure water stream that cuts through various types of containers.

Agile software development solutions are targeted at enhancing work at project level. Little is yet known about the relationship between agile projects and organizational capability improvement. The agile project teams are suggested to iteratively improve their behaviour in a validated manner. This paper addresses the high value of such validated software process improvement (SPI) knowledge emerging from project teams and its utilization at the organizational level SPI. In this paper it is suggested that the novel SPI methods of agile project teams also require alterations in the activities of the organizational level in order to enable the mutually benefiting coexistence of the two. Empirical results from a longitudinal case study over Jive software development projects are presented to illustrate the evolvement of organizational SPI mechanisms and to derive implications for integrating the agile software development and organizational SPI. This study reveals the high importance of close collaboration between the organizational and project levels throughout the projects and identifies several organizational activities needed in enhancing SPI within agile projects and in an organization.

Excellent Value and Great Service
The Washington is a little dated and worn round the edges.
However, in all other respects it excels. The location is perfect (not really in Clifton, but just north of the triangle), the customer service excellent and the price extremely competitive. Why would you stay in a Travelodge or Premier Inn when you could stay somewhere better (here) for less!

Mafia II
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update

Buy It Here
Mafia II is a third-person action-adventure video game, the sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It is developed by 2K Czech, previously known as Illusion Softworks, and is published by 2K Games. The game is set from 1943 to 1951 in Empire Bay (the name is a reference to New York's state nickname "The Empire State"), a fictional city based on San Francisco and New York City, with influences from Chicago and Detroit. The game features a completely open-ended game map of 10 square miles. No restrictions are included from the start of the game. There are around 50 vehicles in the game, as well as licensed music from the era.
Across the board you can actually see we only see one card is able to break the 60 FPS barrier at these settings and it's only by a single FPS. With a detail drop you could probably get at least the HD 6670 up to a almost playable level at 1680 x 1050, it will be a bit harder on the HD 6570, though, which would probably like both a drop in detail and resolution.

Box Score | Postgame Notes | Video Highlights | Photo Gallery | NIT Bracket | Subscribe to White's Articles
CHARLOTTESVILLE -- When they arrived at the University of Virginia in 2009, the men's basketball team was coming off a 10-18 season. Since then the Cavaliers have won 15, 16, 22 and, now, 23 games. And so in the home locker room Wednesday night, UVa coach Tony Bennett offered some perspective to the team's departing seniors -- point guards Jontel Evans and Doug Browman.
"I told Jontel and I told Doug, and then our senior manager, Johnny [Carpenter], `Walk out of here with your heads held high. You left the program in a better place than you found it,' " Bennett said after UVa's 75-64 loss to Iowa in a National Invitation Tournament quarterfinal at John Paul Jones Arena.
The defeat ended not only the Wahoos' fourth season under Bennett, but their 19-game winning streak at JPJ. Not since Nov. 13, in an NIT Season Tip-Off second-round game, had Virginia lost at home. In each case, the loss kept the Cavaliers from advancing to New York City to play at Madison Square Garden.
"Everybody was thinking about it, getting that opportunity again, and we just came up short again," Evans said.
In the Nov. 13 loss to Delaware, Evans played only three minutes because of a foot injury, and his backup, redshirt freshman Teven Jones, missed the game with a stinger in his right shoulder.
Bennett had a full complement of players Wednesday night, backed by a boisterous crowd of 11,141, but that wasn't enough.
UVa (23-12), which trailed 31-28 at the break, twice took a two-point lead in the second half on baskets by freshman center Mike Tobey. Each time guard Roy Devyn Marble answered for the Hawkeyes (24-12).
First, Marble hit a high-arcing jumper that made it 39-39 and then, after a UVa turnover, he dropped in an uncontested 3-pointer to make it 42-41 at the 13:00 mark. Virginia never led again. Marble, a 6-6 junior whose father, Roy, is Iowa's all-time leading scorer, finished with 24 points, five assists, three rebounds and three steals.
"I remember his father was a terrific player," said Bennett, who grew up in Big Ten country, "and the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, because he can score and runs his cuts hard, and they screen hard and well for him. He had a very complete game, and we didn't have anybody who could really get a stop on him."
Against one of the nation's best defenses, Iowa made 8 of 17 shots attempts from 3-point range and shot 49.1 percent from the floor overall. The Hawkeyes were 15 for 15 from the line.
"They just really played a heck of a game," Evans said, "and they didn't break down on either end of the floor, and eventually we broke down on both ends, which hurt us."
Virginia's best player in the NIT was freshman Justin Anderson, and the 6-6 freshman dazzled again against Iowa. In a team-high 35 minutes, Anderson totaled 24 points, six rebounds, five blocked shots, three steals and two assists.
Before Wednesday night, Anderson never had made more than two 3-pointers in a college game. He was 5 for 8 from beyond the arc against the Hawkeyes.
"I think he's going to be a tremendous player," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. "He's got an inside-outside game, and when he's making 3s he's really tough. He's a handful. When he's on the floor you have to figure out what to do with him and figure out whom to put on him."
Virginia, which defeated Norfolk State in the NIT's first round, eliminated St. John's five days later. In three NIT games, Anderson averaged 19 points, 3.3 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.3 steals, and he made 23 of 27 free throws.
"He's unafraid of the moment," Bennett said. "He plays hard, he plays with courage, he does some things that are terrific out there. He needs to keep improving his soundness and his ability to last defensively, as a lot of our guys do. But to see him play some of the promising basketball that he played down the stretch was encouraging, and I liked that."
The NIT, Anderson said, was "probably a defining moment of my freshman year. Like I've been saying, it's over, so all I can do is look back and see what I've done and how can I advance and how can I get better from that point ... I want to keep elevating my game to the highest level, and I think this is something that I can look back on and see how I was aggressive. Not the shots that I made, but how I got those looks, and keep trying to those looks for next year, and continue to trust our offense, trust our program. I'm so happy to be at this program."
The 6-11 Tobey, who missed five games last month with mononucleosis, also closed his first college season on a high note, contributing 15 points, six rebounds and three blocks in 22 minutes off the bench. The Cavaliers' upperclassmen, though, were off their games.
Evans had four assists and two steals but failed to score. Junior swingman Joe Harris, a first-team All-ACC selection, scored only three of his 11 points in the second half and turned the ball over four times. Junior big man Akil Mitchell, a third-team All-ACC pick, scored six of his nine points in the final 1:28, after Iowa had built a commanding lead.
"Some of the first-year guys, certainly you look at Mike and Justin, they did some nice things for us in that game," Bennett said. "But to beat a team like this, you needed to have the balance. I challenged [the team] at halftime to come out and play and embrace the physicality of this game, and they did for a bit, but I thought Iowa kept playing and playing, and we wore down."
Harris didn't attempt a shot in the second half until more than 11 minutes had passed. As had been the case in recent games, he bore little resemblance to the player who scored a career-high 36 points in UVa's Feb. 28 win over Duke at JPJ.
Against the Blue Devils, Harris made 12 of 20 shots from the floor. In his final seven games, he was 27 for 82.
"Joe carried a big load all year," Bennett said. "I think he looked worn down at the end and didn't play his best basketball the last few games."
Harris acknowledged that fatigue might have contributed to his late-season decline.
"It is a long year, and the way that we play and the minutes that some of us are playing, it has a tendency maybe to wear on you," he said. "Just the way that we practice, it's tough, and it challenges you mentally and physically. But I don't think I would use that as an excuse."
Of the players in Virginia's rotation this season, only Evans is out of eligibility. Two well-regarded point guards -- Devon Hall and London Perrantes -- signed with the Cavaliers in November, and the 2013-14 team will also, in effect, add 6-5 guard Malcolm Brogdon and 6-8 forward Anthony Gill.
"There's a lot to be excited about," Mitchell said.
Brogdon, Virginia's sixth man for most of the 2011-12 season, sat out this year while recovering from foot surgery. Gill is a transfer from the University of South Carolina, where he started 26 games in 2011-12. Each will be listed as a redshirt sophomore next season.
"We practice against Malcolm Brogdon and Anthony Gill every day," Harris said. "I'm assuming that both of them will make big contributions for us next year, and then the addition of our younger guys coming in, and guys like Justin, Tobey and the other freshmen we have this year, they're all going to improve, and I think you'll see more of a balanced attack next year."
Virginia went into Selection Sunday hoping to earn a second straight at-large invitation to the NCAA tournament. The Cavaliers instead were awarded one of the four No. 1 seeds in the 32-team NIT.
Even though his team could not make it to The Garden, where Iowa will face Maryland in the second semifinal Tuesday night, Bennett believes the NIT experience will pay dividends for his returning players.
"To play in these settings, to play in a pressure setting, in a tournament, and to be able to win a couple games, I think was good," Bennett said. "For our younger guys to play and to show the signs that they did in this setting was good."
Even the loss to Iowa could help his program, Bennett said.
"Seeing a team that really got after us and played physical basketball and could last, we'll learn from that without a doubt," he said. "When you play against teams that are real tough, it's kind of a gut-check, and you realize this is what it's like in tournament basketball, desperately trying to advance to something significant, what you need to bring and how it has to be done. I think there's some wisdom in that for us to motivate us to work really hard in the offseason."
Anderson said: "I think our program is on the right [path]. I think we're going up, and we just gotta continue to fight. We learned a huge lesson this year."
Evans, who missed nine games this season because of his foot injury, made 92 starts during his UVa career and twice was named to the ACC's all-defensive team. With 41 seconds left Wednesday, Evans checked out of his final college game and, with fans on their feet, hugged Bennett and the other coaches.
"It is bittersweet," Evans said. "It is sad that this is my last time playing here, ever. It brings joy to my heart that the fans appreciate what I tried to bring to the program. This has been an unbelievable college experience. I could have not chosen a better school or coach to play for. I'm very thankful that I decided to play at UVa."

Giving your mix life with automation
Giving your mix life with automation
We are not quite done with Automation yet. In this video, we'll check out how to extend Automation to software instruments. We'll also explore how to quickly assign a control on your MIDI keyboard to any automation parameter you want. Here we have our N_Synth track. It uses the ESE, a software instrument, to make it sound. One of the coolest controls in the ESE is the Cutoff knob. Let's automate it. First, we need to go into the Automation pulldown menu and choose ESE and then we can select Cutoff. Now we have our Cutoff Automation parameter in our view.
We'll put the track in to Touch Mode and when we hit Play, we'll move the Cutoff control with our mouse and write the Automation. (Music-playing.) We did this control with a mouse, but wouldn't it have been more fun and more creative to play this part on a knob or a fader? If you have a MIDI controller with a Modwheel, knob or fader, it's easy to quickly assign a control to an Automation parameter.

LOS ANGELES-"The REIT market going forward will be healthy." So said Jay Leupp, president of Grubb & Ellis Alesco Global Advisers, who spoke with GlobeSt.com's Alyson Grala at Real Estate 2010 about the industry's investment environment. REITs, according to Leupp, bottomed out in March of 2009, and the stocks have rallied since then. "Now, they are looking for opportunities."
Leupp's general outlook about commercial real estate is optimistic. "We are in the early stages of a three- to five-year recovery period."

All the process has been done through gparted. Even after extending the partition, it still doesn't show that 50GB in as free space.

Hanwha Group, a closely held South Korean industrial conglomerate, invested $30 million in OneRoof Energy Inc. to enable the company to finance residential solar power systems in new markets.
OneRoof installs and owns rooftop solar panels that are leased to homeowners at little to no upfront cost, and customers on average save 5 percent to 25 percent a month on their electricity bill, the San Diego-based company said in a statement.
Hanwha, which owns solar-panel manufacturer Hanwha SolarOne Co., bought an $8 million stake in OneRoof in 2011. OneRoof works with more than 100 U.S. installers and is expanding into Hawaii, Arizona and Colorado, according to the statement.

Everyone has been on the fence about which Air Jordan 11 colorway would be dropping this Christmas with rumors floating around about Carmelo's red Jordan 11 PE being a possible candidate, but there is another runner-up this year and it's never been seen before. The Gamma Blue 11's were a new introduction to the Air Jordan 11 family, but this December there will be another edition to the collection.
Thanks to shoulee81, we have an illustration of what the premium constructed sneaker will look like. From these early images it appears that the sources were dead on with the materials. The premium Air Jordan 11 silhouette includes an embossed upper with a better quality than the typical mesh, and looks pretty similar to the 'Space Jam' silhouette, but with red accents.
Take a look at this early review of the Air Jordan 11 '72-10' and let us know if you plan on copping this December. Big thanks to Ds Dan for the video footage.

Jermaine O'Neal battled through injuries to get on the court when it mattered most.Jermaine O'Neal saved his best performances for the final part of the Celtics' season, if not necessarily by choice.
Mid-season surgery on an ailing left knee left O'Neal out of the picture for months, before an uncertain return gave way to some memorable postseason production. Despite his lengthy absences during the regular season, O'Neal contributed mightily in the opening round of the playoffs against the New York Knicks and fought valiantly through a left wrist injury that Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said will require offseason surgery, as well as a stiff lower back that limited his mobility against the Miami Heat.
Here's a look back at five memorable moments from O'Neal's season:
Nov. 3: Celtics 105, Bucks 102 -- O'Neal helps C's hold off Bucks in OT
O'Neal spent the first two weeks of the regular season battling through left knee and left wrist woes that ultimately derailed his ability to produce during much of the 82-game regular-season slate. But while he was clearly laboring some nights, on others he was still showing signs of being the impactful player the Celtics were hoping he would be when they signed him to the mid-level exception during the summer. In the Celtics' 105-102 overtime victory over the Milwaukee Bucks early in November, O'Neal put in five points, pulled down seven rebounds, and blocked four shots before fouling out with a little over a minute remaining in the extra period. But just before he fouled out for good he managed to tip in a missed layup by Ray Allen, which gave the Celtics a vital 97-95 lead that helped them escape with their third consecutive victory.
Feb. 4: O'Neal undergoes left knee surgery
After an initial flirtation with a knee-strengthening rehab, O'Neal relented to arthroscopic surgery on his ailing left knee, with Ainge announcing after the team's 101-97 loss to the Dallas Mavericks that O'Neal would go under the knife. A 6-8 week timetable pegged him for a late-March/early-April return, but doubts about his ability to contribute in the postseason set in almost immediately. Roughly three weeks prior to the announcement, O'Neal himself questioned whether an operation so late into the campaign would hinder his playoff production, which didn't do much to inspire confidence. Despite Ainge's proclamations that O'Neal would return healthy by the end of the season and that the C's were going to count on him in the playoffs, at the time, he might as well have announced his season was over for good the way most viewed his potential return.
March 31: O'Neal returns vs. Spurs as Krstic goes down
The doubts that had set in when O'Neal went under the knife weren't immediately erased when his return date was penciled in. Just because he'd be back on the floor didn't necessarily guarantee he'd be back to being the player the Celtics needed him to be. There were questions about whether he was even that player at the start of training camp when he was relatively healthy. But considering Kendrick Perkins had been traded and Shaquille O'Neal was still on the shelf, the C's needed whatever Jermaine could give them in the middle, and that became even more necessary when Nenad Krstic went down with a bone bruise in his right knee late in the first half of the Celtics' 107-97 victory over the Spurs. O'Neal's return wasn't meant to be over-analyzed considering the lengthy absence he was coming off of, but overall, he played well, hitting both of his shots on the way to five points, a rebound, and an assist in 11 minutes. His minutes soon ramped up from there.
April 11: O'Neal plays 37 minutes in the Celtics' overtime loss to Washington
With Doc Rivers electing to rest his starters during the final two games of the regular season, O'Neal not only got an opportunity to play his most minutes of the season, putting in a high of 37 in the Celtics' 95-94 overtime loss to Washington, but requested the heightened workload to test his knee before the postseason. O'Neal shot just 6-of-15 from the floor, finishing with 15 points, but he had one of his best defensive outings, hauling in 13 rebounds while blocking five shots. While the production was impressive, the real test for O'Neal came after the game was over. How exactly would his left knee respond after he played more minutes in one game than he had in the previous three games combined? The answer? Great. O'Neal experienced no lingering soreness or swelling in the knee after his lengthy outing, and when Rivers held him out of the team's regular-season finale two nights later against the Knicks, it was strictly for general rest and recovery, which allowed O'Neal to gear himself up for the postseason.
April 17: Monster playoff debut vs. Knicks
With his left knee finally healthy and able to endure playing consistent minutes, O'Neal thrived as the Celtics' starting center in the playoffs. In Boston's very first game against the New York Knicks O'Neal was a presence on both sides of the ball, blocking the shots of Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony, drawing crucial charges, and converting clean-up looks around the rim. During a memorable third-quarter stretch he registered six points, grabbed an offensive rebound, blocked two shots, and took a charge, and followed it up in the fourth quarter by drawing a crucial charge on Stoudemire, then blocking a Ronny Turiaf layup bid, and finally converting a putback that tied the game at 82 with just over a minute left. O'Neal finished with 12 points on 6-of-6 shooting to go along with four rebounds and four blocked shots, along with two charges taken. Without his efforts, Boston doesn't win Game 1.

# Azerbaijan gold # Central Bank of Azerbaijan # SOFAZ
The gold was temporarily stored in the vaults of the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
BAKU(BullionStreet): Azerbaijan's State Oil Fund (SOFAZ) purchased one more ton of gold on the first week of this month to make the total at 4 tons.
UK's Brinks Global Services completed the purchase for SOFAZ in compliance with the rules set forth by the LBMA. The gold was temporarily stored in the vaults of the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan, the sovereign wealth fund, was set up in December 1999 by the Presidential Decree as an extra-budgetary entity which accumulates and manages oil and gas revenues of the country.
The Fund's primary objectives are to help maintain macroeconomic stability in the country and to generate wealth for present and future generations. As of 01 January, 2013, assets of SOFAZ totaled $34 129.4 mln.
In accordance with the amendments under the Presidential decree, up to5% of the investment portfolio can be invested in gold.
Earlier SOFAZ announced plans to bring its gold reserves to 30 tons by late 2013.
The main purposes of the fund are the accumulation of funds and placement of assets abroad to minimize the negative impact on the economy, preventing the so-called Dutch disease to ensure savings for future generations and to maintain the current social and economic standards in the country.

From County extension to conservation to grain prices, we provide lots of information every day on KJAN. Here is some of that information on the web too! We hope you find it useful.
Harrison County Extension, United Western Cooperative, and BASF will hold a farmers meeting at noon on September 26th at the County maintenance shed one mile south of Modale on Austin Avenue (Highway K-45) and 280th Street. Palmer amaranth is a new row crop weed species first discovered in Iowa this summer in Harrison County, and is a plant that merits heightened management by local farmers.
The first step in management of any problem species is correct identification. Extension and coop agronomists and herbicide representatives will be on hand to share information on Palmer amaranth. Actual plants will be used to teach attendees the keys to identification, and management strategies will be discussed. The meeting should last about an hour and sandwiches and beverages will be provided, courtesy of United Western Coop.
For more information, contact Rich Pope at the Harrison County Extension office in Logan at 712-644-2105.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa officials say several factors will determine if hunters have a successful early duck season. The state Department of Natural Resources says seasonal wetlands are largely dry, and there may not be enough to support a boat for hunters.
Officials say it's unclear whether blue-winged teal will stick around, though they do favor shallow water. Hunters can use a wetland habitat condition report to prepare for marsh conditions or to change their hunting location.
The early duck season runs from Saturday through Wednesday. The second duck season begins on different dates in October depending on zones. Nearly 30,000 hunters are expected to hunt waterfowl in Iowa.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says DNR Conservation Officer Dan Pauley reported a fish kill in a creek near Westside in Crawford County to the DNR Environmental Services Field Office in Atlantic on Thursday, Sept. 19th.
Holly Vandemark responded Thursday afternoon and observed dead chubs and minnows and a few larger fish in the East Boyer River for a mile downstream, possibly originating between the FAC Farmers Co-op Elevator and the city wastewater lagoon. The fish appeared to have been dead for some time.
Water samples from the kill area and downstream revealed only the slightest elevation in ammonia, nitrate and dissolved oxygen. Live fish and aquatic wildlife were observed in the sampling areas. There may be several contributing factors to the fish kill and the DNR will continue to investigate.
Report fish kills and spills to the state's 24-hour spill line at 515-281-8694.
MISSOURI VALLEY, Iowa (AP) — Thousands of people are expected to gather at a farm in Iowa's Loess Hills to celebrate a berry touted for its health benefits. The free North American Aronia Berry Festival will be held Saturday and Sunday at Sawmill Hollow Family Farm north of Missouri Valley.
The festival will include vendors, craftsmen and activities involving aronia berries, which are prized by some for their high levels of antioxidants. On Sunday, the Hy-Vee Healthy You Wellness Tour Bus will be at the festival to offer flu shots. More information is available at www.sawmillhollow.com.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – The brother of Gov. Terry Branstad will pay a fine and spend $26,000 to install a wetland area after his cattle farm failed to comply with requirements of his clean water permit. The Environmental Protection Agency says Branstad Farms near Forest City did not maintain adequate records for the application of manure onto farm land and did not sample the manure and soil as required.
EPA documents show Monroe Branstad, the governor's brother, operates the farm. The EPA says the farm will pay a $5,100 civil penalty and spend the additional money to install a wetlands restoration area, the first agreement of its type in the EPA region covering Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. The governor's spokesman says he will not comment.

A U-S-D-A survey finds the value of Iowa farmland and farm buildings rose dramatically in the past year. According to the U-S-D-A, Iowa farmland sold for an average price of 84-hundred dollars an acre in August — a 20 percent increase from the same month a year ago. No other Midwestern state is recording farm land values that high. The average price of farmland in Illinois in August was 78-hundred an acre; in Minnesota it was 47-hundred-50; in Wisconsin it was 44-hundred. Nebraska and Missouri farmland was selling for an average of about three-thousand an acre in August. In the Dakotas, it ranged from 17- to 18-hundred an acre. Economists say Iowa's farm land price boom has been directly tied to farm income gains.

Dean, according to a Pew Research poll in 2008, or '09, we are now 15% of the adult US population, and growing. Among college students, non-believers are more like 25% or 30%. There is hope.
I was dumb, I thought they would quit their churches in droves when their imaginary hero didn't show up in 2000... Silly me.
@Nerdlass That's one of the first thoughts that started me asking questions, and getting god-swill for answers.
"Eternity" is a long, long time. Who wants to laze around playing a harp (or a lyre) and singing praises to something unimaginably powerful? AND would such a creature want to listen to all that twaddle forever?

Zelda Informer writes: "Kid Icarus Uprising...stands as one of the greatest Nintendo experiences ever crafted. That it's part of a genre that's so underrepresented on Nintendo consoles only makes it stand out even more."
10/10 really? Oh well, it is zeldainformer.com afterall...
No seriously. That game deserves at least 9/10 every time. So much content, hilarious, compelling story, pretty graphics, actually good use of 3D and FUN online MP. Truth is, the world needs more games like Uprising.
Well there is that little nagging point about them actually shipping the game with a stand, because the game can only be played a very specific way. That should warrant at least -2 points for any review score.
Wow all the people who disagreed must not like the game. I don't see what the point of the stand is. It not that difficult to hold it with you hands, unless your left handhanded. If your left handhanded you change the control scheme or get the CPP. Shipping an optional stand that doesn't need to be used if you'e ever played a DS shooter before does not warrant taking 2 point off. Other than the controls which you have to get used to but are otherwise fine this game is flawless.
Agree with yabhero this game is near perfect in every way. I tried the stand once and it worked well but you dont need it at all the controls are perfectly fine and far more accurate than dual analogs. It took me a few chapters to get used to using the stylus and then it became second nature i can even kick ass in mp no problem.
KIU has excellent graphics, great 3d, a long single player, awesome mp, addictive loot sytem, betting system, idols to collect, ar cards to collect, powers to collect, a fusion system and even more crammed in it. Theres a boatload of levels each with a flying section and ground section, vehicles, and a boss fight for each level. Right when you think it couldnt get any more epic it blows your ming again. You can also map the movement to the buttons and aiming to the circle pad or vice versa for those that dont know but the stylus is hands down the best way to play it. I havent loved a game this much in years.
BTW the stand is an awesome 3ds accessory for more than just this game. I use it for videos and touchscreen games.

We had a great stay in Tamarrakecht. Nice staff, great location, beautiful hotel, breakfast on the rooftop. Our flight arrived late at night and departed early in the morning, but the staff helped us to get to the airport on time with delicious breakfast before sunrise. I have never seen such a good hospitality, book in advance because this place deserves to be fully booked all year round!
I gave the quality of sleep a 3 out of 5, but that's only because I was traveling with my mom and she snores. We had to share the (big) bed, two separate beds would have been better in our situation.

Migrant Woman Attempted Suicide Minutes After Realizing She Can't Afford Her Own Release
CREDIT: AP Photo/Juan Carlos Llorca, File
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are set to release a 27-year-old Honduran migrant mother who attempted suicide minutes after officials gave her the choice between paying a $5,000 bond or remaining in an immigration detention center in Texas. Just last month, a federal court issued an injunction to temporarily halt the government from detaining migrant mothers with children seeking asylum in the United States. But advocates are saying that officials are bypassing the injunction by issuing high bonds as a way to keep those immigrants in detention and deter future border crossers.
"They told me they were going to send me to another psych center, but instead they brought me to this detention center," Bernice said last week according to a press release. "They took my child from me and have not told me anything about where she is. I know I will be killed if I am deported; I cannot pay $5,000. I ask for god to help me."
Immigration officials have detained Bernice at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas since December 2014. Bernice, a Honduran of Garifuna descent, was found to "have favorable credible fear findings, a process which allows for individuals to pursue their asylum cases," according to an Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) press release.
Jonathan Ryan, the executive director of the immigration rights group Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES) told ThinkProgress on Thursday that Bernice had been politically active in Honduras and was seeking political asylum in the United States after "she got into a tight situation" fighting for equality for the Garifuna community, an oppressed minority group of Afro-Caribbean descent living in Honduras.
"This is someone who sought redress from harm in her country and her country failed her," Ryan said. "We failed her in terms of helping her and we made it worse by putting her in detention, calling her a threat to national security. The [high] bond that she received was under the 'national security' argument."
In an April 2003 ruling, former Attorney General John Ashcroft argued against granting bond to a Haitian immigrant because it would encourage future illegal entries, Buzzfeed reported.
Immigration officials generally determine the bond price based on a variety of factors, including whether an immigrant could be a flight risk or pose a public safety threat. According to Mohammad Abdollahi, the RAICES advocacy director, lower bonds — the minimum set at $1,500 — are set for immigrants who have U.S. citizen connections because they are more likely to show up to court. Higher bonds are generally set for immigrants with undocumented family members.
Even after Ryan argued that Bernice has U.S. citizen family members who could take her in and could assure that she would check in with the court, ICE reportedly refused to budge on the bond amount. "Why her bond remained the same was confusing to me as her attorney," he said. "It was clearly confusing and devastating to her, as the person in detention, because it was within minutes of hearing this that she lost all hope and did something drastic."
After Bernice's attempted suicide, ICE told RAICES Thursday morning that she would be released without having to pay a bond. It's as yet unclear whether she would be released on her own recognizance, a process that allows detainees to promise in writing to show up for future court proceedings. Ryan was upset about how ICE had come to this process, "This is a few days after ICE decided not to change the bond… As soon as the spotlight of attention is on her case and on her vulnerability, her suffering, she's released, or slipped under the rug. ICE tried to use this person to send a message [of deterrence to future border crossers]."
An influx of 68,445 Latin American adults with children crossed the southern border last year. In response, the Obama administration adopted an "aggressive deterrence strategy" to lock up women and their children in detention under a "no release" policy as a way to deter future migrants from making the trek. Some people were released, but many were denied bond based on the national security threat argument.
"With this story coming out, we're hearing from other attorneys of clients who have reached similar states of desperation and that it's connected to this high bond policy," Ryan said, "This is not a unique case. It's just unique in the attention it's receiving. We've been seeing [higher bonds]. When we first saw the $7,500 bonds across the board, we felt that ICE's response was to indiscriminately set $7,500 bonds." Ryan added that he's "seen bonds anywhere between $7,500 and $15,000. In this case where the family has U.S. citizen family, a $5,000 bond seems excessive. I would describe ICE's handling of the bonds to be arbitrary and oppressive."
Advocates have heavily criticized conditions in family detention facilities like the ones at the Artesia Detention Center in New Mexico and Karnes County Civil Detention in Texas for its treatment of detainees, including children who slept in freezing "ice-box" conditions, women who never received the opportunity to get legal representation, and attorneys who weren't allowed to talk with their clients. ICE transitioned to Dilley after shutting down Artesia in December.
"These high bonds [are used] as a way to send a message back to Central America that they're not welcome here," Ryan said. "Their claims of relief will not be heard if they can be rounded up and sent home without any kind of judicial process."

One More Encore for LCD
What becomes of a band after it stops playing together? Depends on the band, of course, but these days, there might be a movie about them coming to theaters near you.
LCD Soundsystem, the group that played its farewell performance last year at Madison Square Garden before disbanding, is the subject of a new film, "Shut Up and Play the Hits." A portrayal of the rockers' last show, it will run in theaters for one night only on July 18.
(A band doesn't even have to break up to get a film deal: groups such as the Dave Matthews Band, Blur and Swedish House Mafia have recently released films showcasing the bands on tour; Green Day is working on two coming documentaries.)
At a premiere showing in the East Village presented by the Peggy Siegal Company Tuesday, the filmmakers spoke of a genre of concert films that help to cement a band's place in history—a la Martin Scorsese's 1978 film "The Last Waltz," about the final performance of the rock group the Band.
"I think we've found a little niche," said Thomas Benski, one of the producer's of the LCD Soundsystem film, as well as a new documentary about pop star Katy Perry. The films aren't just about a concert or a band, he said: "It's about positioning them as culturally relevant people." (Of course, a large fan base creates buzz that helps with opening a film, he said.)
Throughout "Shut Up and Play the Hits," James Murphy, the founder and frontman of LCD Soundsystem and the film's star, reflects existentially on his decision to quit that life—once comparing the final concert to one "last, big party," and, at other times, weeping.
But at the premiere this week he seemed to be celebrating. "It doesn't feel that weird," he said at the screening—after all, he lived it. "All I did was try to stop the train that was my career. I didn't get into this to be a rock star," he added in an interview.
But the filmmakers clarified that the documentary isn't a memorial to the band that was. "We weren't eulogizing," said director Dylan Southern.
After the screening, some attendees acted as though they had just experienced the final show live, and headed to an afterparty at Lilium in the basement of the W Hotel in Union Square.
The actress Anne Hathaway was bopping in the bathroom line like she had a song stuck in her head when a reporter commented on her new hairdo, which is very short.
"I like not having hair," she said, running her hand through the cropped coif.
Meanwhile, Mr. Murphy was in the lobby enjoying the afterglow of his final hurrah. "Oh, it's final," he said. "I'm done!"
Perhaps it depends how one defines "done." LCD Soundsystem may be finished, but Mr. Murphy continues to perform musically and to DJ.
"He seems busier now than he's ever been," said Will Lovelace, the film's co-director.
"I'm going to make music because that's what I do," Mr. Murphy said.

Likeable romp as long as you keep your expectations low,
This review is from: So Undercover [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Expectations are funny things.
Only a fool would have any about a rom-com which sees Hannah Montana playing an FBI agent under deep cover in a sorority house. Even a fool would set them lower when the title is as witless as "So Undercover", but he might adjust them marginally back upwards because the film also boasts Entourage's Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) and Ozzy Osbourne's daughter Kelly.
And, on these terms, So Undercover doesn't disappoint: it can't, really. It does, despite itself, surprise.
Rest assured there are plenty of forgettable jokes at the expense of stupid rich girls, and those one or two which find their mark raise chuckles rather than guffaws.
There were guffaws, though - I don't mind admitting I had a couple - and they came almost, but not quite, in spite of the script.
Sometimes plot developments were too absurd not to laugh, but director Tom Vaughan is knowing enough to realise this - the entire picture presents itself with a cheeky wink - so he deserves credit for them.
But mostly, So Undercover gets away through sheer bravura and energetic performances from likeable stars. Miley Cyrus, with whose oeuvre I'm not intimately familiar, has a whale of a time with the lead, as does Jeremy Piven, who seems not to act in any noticeable way at all: Arman, his character might as well be Ari Gold, who, I imagine, might as well be Jeremy Piven.
Elsewhere Joshua Bowman and Mike O'Malley lend such admirable support it's hard not to be badgered into liking this film.
One chap in the cinema even applauded, though I think that was a step too far.
