Rebels ready for Gaddafi counter-attack
Libyan rebels are awaiting a counter-attack by Moamar Gaddafi's forces after the country's leader defied demands that he quit to end the bloodiest of the Arab world's wave of uprisings.
Rebels holding Zawiyah, only 50 kilometres west of the capital Tripoli, said about 2,000 troops loyal to Mr Gaddafi had surrounded the city.
"We will do our best to fight them off. They will attack soon," said a former police major who switched sides and joined the rebellion.
"If we are fighting for freedom, we are ready to die for it."
Witnesses say rebels have already held off an attack by pro-government forces near the town of Misrata, east of Tripoli, and shot down a military aircraft.
"An aircraft was shot down this morning while it was firing on the local radio station. Protesters captured its crew," said the witness, Mohamed.
"Fighting to control the military air base (near Misrata) started last night and is still going on.
"Gaddafi's forces control only a small part of the base. Protesters control a large part of this base where there is ammunition."
Mr Gaddafi's fierce crackdown has killed hundreds, triggering UN sanctions and Western condemnation but has not turned the tide of protests.
Residents in parts of the capital have even thrown up barricades against government forces.
A general in the east of the country, where Mr Gaddafi's power has evaporated, said his forces were ready to help rebels in the west.
"Our brothers in Tripoli say, 'we are fine so far, we do not need help'. If they ask for help we are ready to move," General Ahmed el-Gatrani, one of most senior figures in the mutinous army in Benghazi, said.
Analysts say they expect rebels to eventually take the capital and kill or capture Mr Gaddafi but add that he has the firepower to foment chaos or civil war - a prospect he and his sons have warned of.
But pro-Gaddafi elements claim Western governments are behind the uprising.
By now most Western countries have got the majority of their citizens out of Libya, but thousands of workers from developing countries, such as Bangladesh, are not so fortunate.
They are trapped, with little prospect of leaving the strife-torn country anytime soon.
"Bangladesh government maybe to plan one ship for sent here. But no working," a Bangladeshi man told ABC Radio's PM.
"Embassy don't know this place. He don't care. He don't care. Some people call to the embassy. Embassy don't listen," another Bangladeshi man said.
Humanitarian crisis
With many farms and factories in Libya's main cities shutting down, the big concern is that food supplies will run out.
The United Nations has described the situation as a humanitarian emergency.
Tripoli residents say they fear the situation is quickly getting out of hand.
"Number one problem is that all the foreign workers are leaving, people who work in the bakeries ... and the fields," a Tripoli resident said.
"I have friend who has a farm and he has nobody to pick the crops, the tomatoes, and he has nobody to pick them up anymore.
"So nobody will pick them up so they will not be available in the market. And then the shortage will start I think in a few days."
Defections among security forces and the military seem to be increasing and opposition groups appear to be organising for a Libya post-Gaddafi.
Support is growing for a caretaker administration under the direction of the former justice minister Mustafa Abdul Jalil.
"We've come up with a new constitution and strategy for the implementation of democratic elections in Libya under the supervision of international organisations," Mr Jalil said.
Foreign ministers from around the world are gathering in Geneva to discuss their response to the crisis in Libya.

|Irish Coffee: Jason Terry, Courtney Lee still searching for magic potion in Celtics' backcourt chemistry experiment
|10.17.12 at 12:08 pm ET
If you look at their production during the preseason, newest Celtics guards Courtney Lee and Jason Terry appear headed in different directions in terms of adjusting to their new team, but both are confident they'll end up in the same place when the NBA season starts on Oct. 30 — meshing their strengths into an established system.
"We're not worried about that," said Terry. "Right now, we're just trying to execute what [Celtics coach] Doc [Rivers] lays out there for us, and we know that part of our game will come here shortly. We've got three games in a short amount of time to get right and get ready and prepare."
After struggling in the C's 97-91 loss to Istanbul's Fenerbahce Ulker to start the preseason, Lee's comfort level has steadily progressed, culminating in his most extended minutes (33) and most complete performance (13 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 block) during a 97-96 loss to the Nets on Tuesday night. It marked his third start in five preseason games and his third double-digit scoring output in the four games since the opener.
"I was trying too hard to fit in," Lee said of his early struggles. Obviously, a collision with Fab Melo's shoulder that left him with a deep right thigh contusion and kept him out of the C's unofficial practices from Sept. 6 to the start of training camp didn't help. "I wasn't myself. I wasn't being aggressive at all.
"Doc came to me and said that hurts the team. He needs me to play my game, be aggressive and make the right plays. The more practice we get and the more games we play, I'm getting more and more comfortable with that."
When the second half began Tuesday night, Doc Rivers was no where to be found on the Celtics bench. As it turned out, there was no medical emergency. It was all pre-planned. Rivers told his longtime assistant Armond Hill he would be taking the reins in the second half. Why?
'He just came to me and said, 'Armond, you're coaching the second half.' He's always said that as much as players are in training camp, so are the coaches. And so what would happen if he gets thrown out, something like that?'
Rivers actually joked with reporters before the 97-96 preseason loss to the Nets at TD Garden that everyone should go home by nine o'clock in order to watch the debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. As it turned out, Rivers was in the locker room right about the same time as the debate began. But Hill insisted Rivers was actually watching the Celtics game since he knew every detail of what was going on in the game, including the Celtics losing a nine-point lead with 3:16 left in the fourth quarter.
'I can only thank Doc for giving me the opportunity to coach," Hill said. "That's what we're all here for. He's taught me and I've been with him and he continues to teach me and he's given me another opportunity.
"As far as at the end, I put all the guys in and I didn't have any point guards in. But, once I explained that Courtney [Courtney Lee] was cramping up a little bit, he understood. So we just played them. But we still had chances and I thought we shot quick, too quick, when we had a seven-and eight-point lead. But it's all a learning experience.' Read the rest of this entry »
|Fast Break: Paul Pierce ends this Celtics-Nets debate
|10.16.12 at 10:00 pm ET
Even Celtics coach Doc Rivers couldn't watch a full preseason game against a Nets team that didn't send any of its starting five out for the opening tip. Conveniently, the second half of the C's 97-96 loss coincided with the start of the presidential debate, and that's when Rivers — an ardent support of President Barack Obama, a fellow former Chicagoan — excused himself, "allowing his assistant coaches to handle the bench duties."
At least Paul Pierce stayed for the second half, capping a 29-point night on 10-of-17 shooting (6-8 3P) in 27 efficient minutes. Jeff Green (14 points) and Courtney Lee (13 points) also stuck around until the end of the C's bench eventually coughed up a double-digit lead in the final minutes. Here's what else Rivers missed.
Sharp Pierce: After entering training camp out of shape and suffering a foot injury that lingered long past the three games he missed to start the 2011-12 NBA season, Pierce seems prepared to begin this season in much better shape, showing no ill effects of the knee injury that hobbled during the playoffs. The Celtics captain connected on four of his first seven shots against the Nets, scoring 10 of the C's 14 points in the opening seven minutes.
Green party: After struggling for the first time all preseason against the 76ers, Green turned in another aggressive performance, recapturing his leadership role on the second unit. After falling hard to the floor early in the second quarter, he shook off the trainer and even drew a charge on the other end. If there were any lingering questions about Green's hesitance after returning from heart surgery, he answered them in that stretch.
On guard: Lee's outside shot wasn't dropping (1-4 3P), but the C's starting shooting guard once again demonstrated the athleticism and defensive ability that made him so coveted. Also, his chemistry with backcourt mate Rajon Rondo is clearly developing, as Lee found open spots on the perimeter and Rondo naturally found him with a few nice crosscourt passes. Eventually, the career 39 percent 3-point shooter's stroke will connect.
|Fast Break: Spencer Hawes, 76ers slap Celtics silly
|10.15.12 at 9:30 pm ET
The Celtics started Rajon Rondo, Courtney Lee, Paul Pierce, Jared Sullinger and Darko Milicic, marking the fourth different Doc Rivers starting lineup in as many preseason games. In Philadelphia, few showed up — namely Sixers fans, centers Kevin Garnett and Andrew Bynum, and the C's cohesiveness.
When all was said and done after an atrocious 107-75 C's loss, only Pierce (16 points) and Brandon Bass (11 points) reached double figures, six different Celtics committed at least two of the team's 20 turnovers and Milicic left in the second half with a sore wrist. All that said, let's sort through the ugliness.
Turnovers and turnover: As analyst Tommy Heinsohn said at halftime, when the C's had already coughed the ball up 14 times (Pierce 4, Milicic 3, Rondo 3, Sullinger 2) and experimented with roughly 9,736 different lineups, "There was no chemistry. It was boiling over into turnovers." Few if any lineups appeared to have any continuity. Given the Celtics are only midway through the preseason, it's probably too early to be concerned about excessive experimentation, but the earlier Rivers can discover which units work best together, the better.
Off center: Without Kevin Garnett, who would normally treat Spencer Hawes like Hulk treated Loki in "The Avengers," Rivers turned to Sullinger and Milicic to guard the Sixers center. Often, the former proved too small and the latter too slow to challenge the rangy 7-footer. Understandably, the Celtics didn't want to play Garnett in back-to-back nights, and Rivers likely wanted to experiment with his big Garnett/Milicic lineup against Brook Lopez and the Nets on Tuesday night. Still, Monday was further evidence how important KG is to the C's chemistry.
Project Green light: Green may have guarded everywhere from the 2-4, but that didn't mean he did it successfully. While NBA plus/minus statistics aren't always the best indicator, he was a team-worst minus-28 against the 76ers. After reaching double digits and shooting better than 50 percent in his first three preseason games, Green made just 3-of-9 attempts, missed all three of his long-distance attempts and committed two turnovers. Outside of an unchallenged slam dunk, he failed to take advantage of a matchup against offensive-minded Nick Young.
|Brian Scalabrine: Black Mamba vs. White Mamba
|10.11.12 at 4:52 pm ET
"The black mamba is the world's most deadliest snake: One bite and you're dead. The white mamba is the world's most dormant snake: He just chills; he just watches and chills." Clearly, Brian Scalabrine is the Kobe Bryant of broadcasting. It's about time someone starts breaking down real NBA issues like this. (h/t Beyond the Buzzer)
|Irish Coffee: Grooming Celtics rookie Jared Sullinger
|at 8:00 am ET
Jared Sullinger isn't easily fazed. Not even when they called him and the other Celtics rookies in front of the entire organization during a team dinner and made him sing his favorite song: Jay-Z's "Public Service Announcement."
Check out my swag' yo, peep the way I wear it
No matter where you go, you are what you are player
And you can try to change, but that's just the top layer
Man, you was who you was 'fore you got here
Fitting. Sullinger isn't intimidated by a team full of headstrong veterans whose system has produced one championship, two NBA finals appearances and three Eastern Conference finals showings in the past five years, and that's because his basketball journey started almost from the day he was born.
|Kevin Garnett: 'I don't really talk a lot'
|10.10.12 at 8:15 pm ET
It would be a shame not to share this gem from Celtics center Kevin Garnett, who explained his mentoring philosophy for the younger big men on the roster, after Wednesday's practice in Waltham.
"If you're sitting over here bullsh@tting, they tend to bullsh@t," he said. "That's why I don't really talk a lot. I like to be the example. Anything after practice that I can help them with, I kind of pull them to the side and show them different things. We watch a lot of film in the locker room and talk. For these young guys, man, I just try to be there for when they need me. I'm not a guy to push myself on anybody, but anything that they want to know, anything that they're having trouble with, I try to be accessible to them."
I'm not sure Charlie Villanueva, Zaza Pachulia and the entire city of Philadelphia would agree Garnett "doesn't really talk a lot." To be fair, I think he's claiming he doesn't force advice upon younger players unless asked for it, but still — this is a guy who has talked to inanimate objects before every single game of his 17-year career.

Patent rights in a patented self-replicating technology, such as seeds, continue until the patent term is ended and not before. On May 13, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Bowman v. Monsanto that the patent rights in seeds are not exhausted by the initial sale of the seeds, and continue to prohibit copying of the original seeds.
The Court declined, however, to address self-replicating technology that replicates outside of the purchaser's control, or technology that is copied as an intermediary and necessary step in a method of its use. Though limited, the case provides additional protection for patented biotechnological products such as seeds, cells, bacteria, viruses, and other patented organisms that can make multiple copies of themselves. Sale of such self-replicating technologies does not provide the opportunity for a purchaser to make unlimited copies, no matter how easily those copies can be produced.
A patent gives its holder the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, or offering to sell the patented invention. But there are limits to a patentee's ability to enforce these rights. Under the doctrine of patent exhaustion, the initial authorized sale of a patented item terminates all patent rights to that item. The buyer can then use or sell the item in whatever way he or she wishes. The doctrine is based on the idea that the patentee received "just compensation" for his invention from the first authorized sale.
But while the patentee relinquished the right to control the use of a patented article by selling it, the sale did not authorize the purchaser to make a newly infringing article. If the buyer could make copies of the patented invention and sell them, the patentee would not be receiving the "just compensation," and patent rights would provide "scant benefit" to a patentee.
When soybean seeds are planted, the resulting plants make new soybeans that have genetic traits of the originally planted soybean seeds. These soybean seeds are "self-replicating" and are easily copied when farmers plant them and harvest the resulting crop of soybeans. The soybean seeds in Bowman were genetically modified to be resistant to glyphosate herbicides such as the commonly used Roundup® weed-killer product. Since 1996, Roundup Ready® (glyphosate-resistant) soybean seeds have been sold to farmers for planting, and the purchasers could only use the soybean seeds in a single growing season to produce one crop. The purchasers could consume or sell the crop, but could not replant the soybeans.
Vernon Bowman, an Indiana farmer, purchased Roundup Ready® soybean seeds each year for his first crop of the season. He sold the crop to a grain elevator where soybean seeds from large numbers of farmers are stored in silos for use as feed. For his second, riskier crop of the year, he purchased the mixed seeds from the grain elevator and planted them. He treated the fields with glyphosate, which would kill all the plants that did not have the glyphosate-resistant gene. The soybean plants that did have the patented glyphosate resistance continued to grow. The farmer saved seeds from the second crop and planted the saved seeds the following year as his second crop, occasionally adding more soybeans from the grain elevator.
After discovering the farmer's practice, Monsanto sued him for patent infringement in the Southern District of Indiana. Both the district court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit determined that the subsequent generations of seeds constituted "newly infringing articles" and found that the farmer infringed the patents. The Supreme Court upheld this finding and ruled that patent exhaustion did not apply to the soybean seeds that the farmer bought.
The Court found that the authorized sale of the seeds gave the buyer the right to use or sell the seeds, but did not give the buyer the right to make new copies of them. One argument Bowman made was that he didn't make the copies, the seeds made the copies. The "blame-the-bean" argument did not carry weight with the Court, which found that the copies existed as a result of action taken by the farmer—planting the seeds and tending the resulting plants.

Note: This article had to be written as un-opinionated as possible.
This essay will state why violent video games don't create killers. As you have probably heard, in Newport, Connecticut there was a shooting. A man entered an elementary school and shot and killed 27 children and staff of the school, his mother and himself. This tragedy sparked controversy regarding the NRA's current laws on assault weapons. Naturally this caused the NRA to shift the blame, and they found the perfect opportunity.
At the time the killer was reported to be Ryan Lanza, so people looking to pin the shooting on something located his Facebook profile and noticed that he had "liked" the videogame Mass Effect 3, a third-person sci-fi shooter. They began to comment thing like "Ban this game and the people who created such sickness". The twist is that Ryan Lanza wasn't even the killer, it was his brother Adam Lanza. And another controversy was sparked.
People proceeded to berate the Mass Effect 3 Facebook page with posts such as "I am sure none of these precious children had this game on their Santa list... God help protect us from all the evil our society promotes" and "the blood is on YOUR hands" (a line from an email sent by anti-videogame advocate Jack Thomson to the videogames news publication website known as Joystiq). So the game's publisher Electronic Arts had to go into defence mode and defend a game about killing aliens with laser guns because it apparently caused a shooting by being liked by the killer's brother. Stupid.
So know thousands of angry parents are creating causes to rip the videogames from their children's hands because the topic of videogames causing violence has once again taken to the news. Onto the point of this essay now, why videogames don't create cold blooded killers.
So many angry parents and non-parents are angry and are saying that violence in videogames turn people into violent serial killers or just violent people in general. While studies are being done this topic will die down eventually, but right now it is the hottest the topic has ever been, but people are angry about this and are willing to overlook the facts. In the US over 79% of children play videogames, violent and not, for at least eight hours a week, so the studies are worth consideration all though most of them have opinionated results.
A study reported by the journal "Psychological Science" shows that it is true that while playing videogames physiological signs of aggression increase, heart rate increases and the chemicals that affect the fight or flight response (adrenaline, etc.) begin to enter the brain. The same as what happens when you are fighting or if you were racing a car. And playing games such as Call of Duty increase signs of aggression in brain scans. But just because two correlations happen doesn't mean it has a direct effect on people, and that isn't proof. Some studies have even shown that children who play videogames with violence show less aggression than their non-violent counterparts because they use it as a release for their aggression. Another point to factor in is common sense, most people (psychologically sound people) know the difference between a mass of pixels and the real world, and wouldn't think once about actually killing another human being. Let alone 28 of them.
Also while violent videogames are becoming a larger form of media; they are taking over the movie industry, (the latest iteration of the Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, in it's first fifteen days grossed over one billion US dollars) the rate of crime in the US has declined (up-to-date crime statistics for Canada aren't available). So if you still believe that violent videogames cause people to be killers you have the right to hold your own opinion, but you may also want to refrain from watching action movies and television shows because they can make you and children murderers too.

Super fun! Lasted 12 minutes. We bought the duck tour combo tickets and laser tag closed earlier than their regular time so we didn't get to do it on the same day. Luckily we were staying another day. The young kids running it were very unfriendly.
The young adults in our family weren't impressed. However, I could see young children enjoying the black Light florescent paintings, the animatronic dinosaurs and the less than challenging mini golf holes. Note - there are only 17 holes, not 18. Here's the thing though, on a vacation with family, doing something that everyone can agree is a bit lame can...
The kids loved this activity. It is a really cool place and the staff was friendly. The prices are really reasonable and they offer combination deals which save you money. We went several times during out trip.
I would not recommend this to an enemy. It was in an old run down motel, split up . The mini golf was bult up on platforms making it a trip hazzard!!!!
This was the first time that our 7 year old had played laser tag. He had a really good time and can't wait to do it again. It was fun for us adults too. It is a simple one, nothing extravagant about it. My husband's laser gun looked like it was working but in the end it was not.... :(...
Had a great time playing laser tag and riding go carts. They also have indoor golf. Great place to go to have fun all in one location.
After an hour we are still waiting. The kids running this place aren't great at running a business and it is 5 minutes past closing. The laser tag here is fine. It might just be an off day. For a group, I would not recommend, but perhaps this is an off day.
My five-year-old daughter wanted to play putt putt so I brought her here. For both of us to play it cost $13. However I was overcharged by $100. The high school girl at the counter attempted to refund my money. And provided me with a refund slip. I was told it would take about 48 hours for my money to...
We played laser tag and the black-light Jurassic Park themed mini golf one afternoon on vacation when it was simply too hot to be outside doing activities and it was fun! I had never played laser tag before and we had a blast. Interestingly the minigolf is 17 holes, not 18...?! But we had fun and were grateful for the...
My husband bought the combo ticket on the duck tour which included the minigolf at T-Rex and the go carts. He and my 11 year old enjoyed playing mini golf and liked the go carts as well. Probably would have skipped it if not for the duck tour.

Not likely. I mean, I suppose some crazy shit could happen and in twenty or thirty years somehow Nintendo has gone out of business and Sega picked up the pieces, and Microsoft decided to stop making the xbox and focus instead on putting all of their resources to creating the perfect AI that could help govern the laws of space and time and motion controls, and Sony is releasing the PS6 and Sega decides that they spot the perfect opportunity to release a new console at a far cheaper price than the PS6's 5,000$ starting price, because there was a great uprising in the year 2030 where a workshop full of monkeys that had been tasked with writing the next great video game script got loose and took over the company due to Microsoft implanting microchips into their brains to control their behavior. Or something. Either way, unlikely.
But if they DO somehow release a console again, then they could call it the Katana, or they could call it the Sega Saturn 2 and get Segata Sanshiro back.

Sadly, no. I have to assume Sega is not raking in the dough with most of their recent titles (both because they are bad and they are releasing less games each fiscal year). Designing, making and marketing a new console is super-expensive and time consuming. And the Sega name, with the newest generation games being raised on PlayStation, Xbox, and Wii, means nothing. Sad for me to say this, but I would be surprised if Sega is even around as an company in twenty (if not less) years or so unless they can really pick things up.

Sega needs to develop a long string of solid game franchises before they make a another console. They haven't even made a decent game since the DC was out. I could see them coming back, but not anytime soon.
F Zero Gx, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Virtua Fighter 4 evolution, ,Valkyria Chronicles, Virtua Fighter 5, Border break, Super Monkey Ball, NBA 2K3, jet Set Radio Future, Sonic Advance 2, 3, Out Run 2, Shining Force: Resurection of the Dark Dragon, Puyo Pop Fever, Virtua Tennis World tour, Yakuza 4, Sonic Rush Adventures, Valkyria Chronicles 2, Gunstar Furur Heroes, AstroBoy Omega Factor, Sega Rally Revo , Medieval 2, Empire, Napoleon TW, Football Manager , Ghost Squad, Shining Force Feather, Sega Genesis Ultimate Collection, House Of The Dead 4 , Phantasy Star Portables 2 ...
Nah, and I doubt that I'd want them to. As much as I loved the old Sega, that company has just completely lost touch with its old self. Really, Sega's just sitting on a mountain of treasures, and it's chucking out total crap (or publishing games) to appease the mainstream.

They can barely afford to make games much less research and develop a video game console.
It sounds like they are having trouble producing and developing games at this point.
I'm somewhat surprised they didn't re-enter the handheld market after the death of the Dreamcast. Their franchises seem better suited to the handheld space. Of course it's way too late for that now.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Despite all the talk of alleged patent infringement issues with Linux, no one seems to have any details. Given that problems are everywhere and nobody has any real answers, I've always thought the Open Source community
should get off the defensive and start raising some new arguments. A closer look will reveal that patents are nowhere near the biggest risk a software customer will face. The GPL assures the right of the user to copy software. The closed source industry, on the other hand, makes if clear you are in big trouble if any software they sell your company gets copied. The chances of a customer getting sued for flakey and ill-defined patent nuances is extremely small, but the chances of a customer facing lawsuits for rogue employees pirating closed source software is very real.

Tour guide was excellent. We went to the cathedral and got right in, no waiting on line. She explained many of the stories surrounding the building of the cathedral. We then went to a number of different parks which provided wonderful views of the city. She also pointed out numerous landmarks. She then took us to the shopping area. Before we ended our tour she told us of the places we should see before we leave. Tour was a little pricy but well worth the cost.
Frank F United States of ...
Great guide and wonderful driver. Gave us an appreciation of the entire city. Well worth the price
My guide Marc and driver ton no were perfect. I had 4 hours to see the city, and they made the magic happen. They customized a tour that gee me the tour I wanted, with additional things that I didn't know I needed to see. The explanation of the symbolism of the Sagrada Familia and the architecture were tremendous and added to my appreciation of this amazing monument
What a wonderful afternoon spent with our tour guide Pacita. She was patient, informative and showed us everything we had an interest in seeing in great detail. Viator, you have an incredible tour guide working for you! Thank you for your services.
Barry United States of ...
Really enjoyed it. Our host Paquita and our driver Jordi were both very personable and were eager to immerse us into any aspect of Barcelona we wanted. The coach was very clean and comfortable. We saw a variety of sights including the Barcelona Football Club stadium we paid, since this wasn't an included cost. Messi is my son's favorite football soccer player ever, and seeing his locker room, the pitch field, reporters' booths up above and all the history that's showing in the onsite museum was a real bonus!
We didn't really know what questions to ask, or where to ask to be taken. But that was alright, because Paquita and Jorgi described different places and moods. I don't recall a single question that Paquita couldn't answer. And I asked some obscure ones.
A bit pricier than other options, but well worth it if you want to see Barcelona your own way.
Our tour guide was wonderful had a great day in Barcelona .
The absolute highlight of a 10 day European tour. The driver and guide were fantastic and felt like family by the tour's end.
This was a great private tour with a driver and a tour guide in the comfort of a private car,. We saw everything and then some.We got dropped off in front of the sites. the tour guide gave us a private tour. She knew everything. The driver stayed with the car. This was well worth the cost. If you have just one day in Barcelona, do this tour!
Wonderful!! The best guide and driver!!
We had a great time with Pequita!
Fun and informative!!
Beautiful day, fabulous guide, France, very knowledgable and asked where we wanted to go...she spoke excellent English so we got the most out of the tour. I would do another tour in a heartbeat! It really helped us to learn the city and where we wanted to spend more time.
Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Kept our 11 and 9 year old entertained.
There was nothing Sonya could have done to improve this amazing experience. We felt like VIPs every minute we were in her company. Thank you.
Our half day private tour was fabulous! Our guide made the whole experience one to remember! We felt like we got a real feel for the city in a short amount of time!
Couldn't have been any better!! Highly recommend!!
It was great! We arrived 2 hour late so the tour needs to be cut short,but our guide was very patient and warm,experienced,so that we were able to still see the landmark places of Barcelona.Very satisfied.
Just wonderful. Guide and driver were excellent.
Our tour guide was excellent.From timely pick up at our hotel, to quick admission to the Sagrada Familia, she was on the ball!! The motor coach and driver were also very good. I would definitely recommend this company.
Our tour guide Sonia was the best! She provided such helpful commentary and tailored our tour to our family 3 teenagers. While my husband and I could have stayed at Sagrada Familia with Sonia all day, we kept the tour moving and saw many of the sights of Barcelona. It was a great first activity so that we were able to get a feel for this great city.
Great tour guide
Laura was an extremely knowledgeable and flexible tour guide. Our tour was tailor made for an overview of Barcelona. The private car made visiting several sites possible and Laura's great personality made it all worthwhile. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her.
AMAZING! Our guide, Andrea, was terrific! Ask for him, if you want a fun yet professional experience!
The tour guide was so knowledgeable. The tour was amazing.
KCViva United States of ...
Excellent guide and information. Super flexible and gave us options as to what we wanted to send and spend time with Got us into the Sagrada and even knew how to visit that unforgettable site in the proper method. Picked us up in a clean van, great driver and just fabulous. I wished it was more like 6 hours instead of 4-ish but just a great trip.
Our guide was terrific and was very knowledgeable particularly about the Sagrada Familia cathedral which was one of the most incredible places I have ever seen. She let us spend as much time as we wanted there. We all enjoyed it.

I'm not really sure the booklet that came with it has directions

Cybersecurity for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses and Entrepreneurs
Created on October 22, 2014
Small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the Nation's economy. Aside from the wide range of services they offer, small and medium-sized businesses store significant amounts of sensitive data, from customer information to intellectual property.
While bigger businesses can often dedicate greater resources towards cybersecurity, small and medium-sized businesses and entrepreneurs face the same cybersecurity challenges and threats with limited resources, capacity, and personnel.
Entrepreneurs also face a unique cyber security threat as their data includes not only personnel data and financial spreadsheets, but valuable intellectual property that could be worth much more than even they realize. Entrepreneurs are recognizing this need and the fact that the cybersecurity field is a burgeoning marketplace. Entrepreneurs start and fail again (or start, succeed, sell and start again), so they should consider cyber security as a marketplace and focus their talents on creating new and affordable cyber solutions.

The flypaper effect: evidence from a natural experiment in Hesse
Theory suggests that transfers should have an effect on local fiscal policy that is similar to an equivalent increase in local incomes. Yet much of the empirical literature shows that local governments use transfers primarily to increase expenditures. Recent contributions have revisited this so called flypaper effect by using quasi-experimental methods, and some have found that the evidence for the flypaper effect dissipates once endogeneity of transfer receipts is accounted for. This paper contributes to the growing body of quasi-experimental research on the flypaper effect by exploiting a natural experiment in the German state of Hesse. Using discontinuities in the Hessian municipal transfer allocation formula to construct a set of instruments for municipal transfer receipts during the 2001-2010 period, it provides strong evidence in favor of the flypaper effect.
