It seems some here *are* as immature as console only players. People like him hanging out on the PC board are what makes the rest of us look bad. :P

Im typing on my phone which is what I use for all my internet needs.
Then you're not using a keyboard, effectively wasting precious time typing on a touchpad which inherently cannot be as quick as an actual keyboard. If you prefer wasting more time doing basic things than less time, I don't know what to say. It's like saying you don't need a highway because you can get to where you want through residential streets... eventually.
I don't want to play games on PC, not because of lack of money, but because I prefer the user interface and simplicity of a console.
That just sounds like an excuse for lack of money. Console user interfaces are a necessary evil because of the limitations of controllers' ability to allow for efficient and effective use. It's not simpler, either. In order to play a game on a Playstation, you have to first go to the games folder, then select the game. To play a game on a PC, you simply have to double click the icon on the desktop.
I don't care about graphics. Honestly I don't. I can't tell you what any of my games run at on my ps4, xbox one, or 360. It doesn't matter to me as long as I can play it. It could all be at 720p and 30fps and I wouldn't care.
If you don't care, then you don't want a PS4 or a Xbox 1 either, right?
I prefer big budget "triple a" games like assassins creed, batman arkham games, mass effect, gta, gears, halo, naughty dog stuff, etc...
The majority of the video games you named are available on PC, though.
Either way, if that's all you're playing on consoles, then you're a terrible console gamer, too. The strength of consoles has never been third-party multiplat AAAs because such titles always end up on PC to minimize losses - it's always been mid-budget games like Bayonetta, Wonderful 101, Zelda, The Last Guardian, Bloodborne, Persona 5, Pikmin, Devil's Third, Xenoblade X etc.
I'm not really interested in the smaller indie stuff that steam is famous for
Why not? Yourself, whom does not care about graphics, has a stigma against good video games if they're not full of.......graphics?
I enjoy playing on a big screen so my wife and I can kind of be together on the couch.
Which... I do on my PC.
All of my friends are not PC gamers. Most of them bought an xbox one this generation.
And...? So?
I prefer physical media.
As do many of us.
And one more thing to just throw out there, I love first person shooters with a controller. I honestly can't/don't want to play an fps with a mouse.
You've never have actually tried it for any useful time to judge. FPS with a mouse are just plain better. I've played everything from Goldeneye on N64, COD on PS3, to Unreal Tournament and Counterstrike back in the day to Halo on both Xbox and PC.
Anyone who "prefers" controllers only does so because it's all they know. It's a proven fact that mouse aiming is more precise and reliable. You're basically saying "I prefer an Automatic Transmission over a DCT".
I'm tired of people saying "peasant box" or "PC master race".
I could easily spend 3000 dollars right now and get an excellent PC to play games on but I don't want/need it.
Then you could not "easily" do it, because if you could "easily" do it, you would. But the investment is something great enough that you can't justify it.

I don't consider Dota or league triple a.
Graphics not good enough for ya?
Most people play at desks with monitors and that was what I was basing my argument on. What the majority of people do.
Most people go and watch every new Michael Bay Transformers movie. I guess watching movies is awful.
Thank you and I know it wouldn't cost 3000 for a computer. But if I were to get one I would go all out on everything and that's what I would put as a budget on my PC if I were to get one.
So you, who claims to not care about graphics, needs a computer priced at ~180% of what most on this board would call a pretty ****ing good computer if you were to buy one?
That's just BS.

Good for you? You know you're just giving trolls ammunition by posting this, right? Also, why bother posting something like this in the PC forum at all? I personally don't care why user X prefers platform Y, and I don't think anybody else does either. Play what you want on the platform you like and leave it at that.

Perhaps stick to the console forums then? If somebody posts on the PCH forum asking for opinions on gaming platforms you can expect brutal honesty, if you want to believe that your chosen platform is the penultimate gaming experience, then stick to the console forums. Myself I play games on all platforms, but when it comes to game price/performance/visuals/customization the PC has no peer. Were it not for desirable exclusives, I'd have zero reason to own a console (I would prefer to get the better looking/performing version on the PC).

Author Tags: Famous Visitor
Written in 1978 in French and first published in English in 1987, George Perec's puzzling and playful novel Life: A User's Manual has been regarded by some as a modern classic, etc. Told in six parts and 99 chapters, plus a preamble and an epilogue, it also has three appendices -- a useful index, a chronology, and an "Alphabetical Checklist of Some of the Stories Narrated in this Manual" -- and it starts with a jigsaw puzzle. Incomprehensible to some, it contains a reference to a West Coast city called Hammertown that poet Peter Culley has taken to be his hometown of Nanaimo, from which has arisen the title for Culley's poetry collection called Hammertown (New Star, 2004).

A day after a key summit of the European Union in Slovakia, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi says his country will not believe that everything is alright in the face of a malfunctioning Europe.
"I don't think it would be right for Italy to pretend not to notice when things are not getting any better," said Renzi at a conference in the Italian city of Florence on Saturday, several hours after voicing his dissatisfaction over meager achievements made at Friday's summit in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The summit was attended by EU leaders from 27 member states in a bid to work on a roadmap for the bloc's post-Brexit future, and to discuss issues currently facing the EU, including refugees, security and the faltering economy.
"We said more or less the same things" as in previous summits, said the Italian premier, who had hoped for more concrete measures on both refugee crisis and economic growth.
He had also refused to take part in a joint conference with German and French leaders apparently to express his dissatisfaction with the outcome of the summit.
"I cannot take part in a press conference with German Chancellor [Angela Merkel] or French President [Francois Hollande] when I don't share their conclusions," he said on Friday.
Italy has been on the frontline of the refugee influx and the Italian leader have plans to curb the influx, which is mainly stemming from the North African nations, particularly Libya, through closing the main sea routes.
However, Renzi complained that the issue was not even addressed at the Bratislava summit, where the documents presented "didn't even mention Africa."
Many blame the West for the violence that has displaced millions of people in North Africa and the Middle East, mainly Syria, leading to the huge refugee influx into Europe.
The European Union is apparently having a hard time trying to steady the ship after Britain's unexpected referendum on June 23 to quit the bloc.

By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY
Huge increases in water and sewer bills are on the way in many places as cities and towns try to repair aging pipes and correct artificially low prices.
New York, Detroit, Tampa and Atlanta are among cities facing large rate increases. Many of the nation's 70,000 smaller systems — from Monterey, Calif., to Charleston, W.Va. — are imposing major price hikes, too.
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the nation's water and wastewater systems need an investment of up to $1.2 trillion over 20 years. Also, arid states such as Arizona, Texas and Utah, where water costs more to provide, have fast-growing populations.
"God made the water, but he didn't make the pipes or have to comply with EPA regulations," says Nick DeBenedictis, CEO of Aqua America, a private water company that serves 3 million.
Last year, the median residential bill was $278 for water and $276 for sewer service, reports the American Water Works Association, an industry group.
The median rate increase was about 5%, says Doug Scott, a credit analyst at Fitch Ratings, which evaluates the debt of municipal utilities. Average rate increases of that amount are enough to finance the industry's capital needs, he says.
Many people, however, will see much larger increases because of the quirky pricing policy of water and sewer systems. Already, some communities are getting scalded by price hikes of 50%, 100% or more.
The problem: Many municipal owned systems have treated rate hikes like tax increases and avoided them for years. The Government Accountability Office estimates that 29% of water systems and 41% of sewer systems charge customers less than the cost of the service.
These money-losing systems have no way to finance expensive repairs without delivering a rate shock to customers.
"About the only time customers hear from water systems is when they want increases, and that makes people furious," says Missouri Public Service Commission Chairman Jeff Davis.
The USA has about 54,000 community water systems and 16,000 sewer systems, according to the EPA. Local government supplies 88% of water and 80% of sewer service. City councils and county commissioners often vote on rates every year.
"You can get all the water you need for a buck a day," DeBenedictis says. "But many cities are charging 25 cents. When they go to 50 cents, the headline is: 'Mayor asks for 100% rate increase.' "
A sampling of big increases:
• Muskegon Heights, Mich., increased its rates 100% for next year, angering neighboring communities that depend on it for water. It was the first change in seven years.
• In Anthem, Ariz., Arizona-American Water Co. asked for a 71% hike in rates for homeowners and 120% for businesses, plus future rate increases. It scaled back the request by an unspecified amount. The company says it needs to repay the developer of the planned community of 40,000 near Phoenix for building the system.
• Bay County, Fla., home of Panama City, hiked its rates 61%, the first change since 2000.
Rate hikes often are viewed as unfair, especially in communities that buy water and sewer services from private companies or other towns. Connecticut state Rep. John Hetherington objected when New Canaan got hit with a 33% increase, more than other towns. "Tax increases. Higher electric rates. Now this," he says. "It's one more thing people living on the edge have to deal with."
The burden is falling hardest on older cities that have systems built after World War II.
Atlanta is investing $3.9 billion in its system. Atlanta voters approved a 1-cent sales tax to limit this year's rate hike to 10%. Otherwise, it would have jumped 43%.

jhpdbooks What a delightful book! The photos are grand and the text very informative. I enjoyed so much being to identify many of the engines and cars that I saw (and photographed) on a cross-country bicycle trip last fall. Our route paralleled the tracks for miles and miles and the trains were endlessly fascinating.

- The knife looks like a black Blood Knife, which is usually undyable.
- The name and bonus of this weapon are references to an audio skit made by the Dead Ale Wives, about Dungeons & Dragons. In the skit, one character proudly announces "I've got an Ogre-slaying knife! It's got a plus nine against ogres!" The damage range of the knife (1-4) is intentionally the same damage range as a Dungeons and Dragons dagger (it is expressed as 1d4).
- The boss that drops this knife, The Darkness, is a reference to the same skit.

Big Bazaar Profit Club: Is it worth?
Now Big Bazaar (or let's say future group) is known to be a pioneer in the field of retail innovation in India. There are several examples of innovations that are so specific to India that you can just marvel at the wisdom of the though leaders behind these moves. Noticeable are the very successful "The Great Exchange Offer", the 5 day republic day sale, or the sabse sasta din concept (Wednesdays), the last one is not so ingenious, but anyways..
Now we need to add one more nugget in this list, Big Bazaar's Profit Club.
The scheme's punch line is that you pay 10000 upfront & then shop for 12000 in any one of the Big Bazaar stores (& certain affiliate stores of the group like Food Bazaar, EZone etc). Cool! isn't it?
Now, the scheme is really simple with only a single catch that these 12000 are not available to you upfront and only 1000 Rs will be credited to your card every month for the next 12 months.
For the financial wizards out here, for a normal rate of interest that we expect(~10-12% per year), the present value of these 1000 Rs/month cash flows works out to be Rs ~11250 Rs. So we can account for a neat notional benefit of ~1250 Rs due to this scheme.
(For the uninitiated, the money that you get late, needs to be discounted. For Ex: with a ~11% rate of interest, you'll get ~1000 Rs if you invest just 900 now. Similarly, all the future credits of 1000 Rs each will have lower value today, If we do the same exercise for all the 12 credits, the current value works out to be ~11250)
So if you are a regular Big Bazaar customer, it'll always make sense for you to go ahead & enroll for this scheme. In fact for heavy users, they can also think of having more than 1 such card.
Things to keep in mind before enrolling to the scheme:
- What is your average spend pattern at Big Bazaar stores? If this is on an average >=1000 Rs per month, you need not think twice before enrolling in to this scheme
- You have a nearby Big Bazaar but you don't visit it often, though your grocery bill easily runs into a few thousands Rs per month: you may consider this scheme.
- You gain the maximum if you pick the branded, packaged food/household items that you will not find at a discount anywhere. For apparel etc, you may perhaps find better price/collection elsewhere
- You don't have a Big Bazaar near your place or your grocery bill(or items that you may purchase from Big Bazaars) is limited: Forget about this, you may eventually end up paying more on unnecessary items that you perhaps won't buy otherwise, just to utilize your credit.
Now coming to the other side of the story, what does big Bazaar gain from this outrageous scheme (losing ~1250 Rs on every such membership)? As per the latest updates, they already have more than 1 Lac card holders now, means ~12.5 cr already down the drain?
Not really, here is the broad maths from their side:
- Weighted margin for Big Bazaar's average basket is >45% (as per their annual reports). Assumption is that profit club members will utilize the card for this average basket in general. Higher margin products are usually the in-house/local branded, apparel etc. If a lot of people focus only on the branded items where the margins are in the 20% range, the scheme will backfire.
- It is also a financing scheme, capital is very costly these days with short term borrowing costing companies (even good ones) in excess of 20% per year, Big Bazaar is effectively managing its working capital requirement through this scheme. The size of this scheme has already crossed ~100 crore Rs, significant enough to cushion the group's stretched financials.
- Another assumption is that not all people will utilize this credit limit in an optimum way, people may underutilize the limit for months and use the remaining amount at the end(or with a lag at least)
- Last, but most importantly, the profit club members are enticed to visit the store with a higher frequency and will tend to purchase more (as they know that they will need to pay 1000 Rs less per month). This upsizing and higher selling opportunity is the most significant piece of this game. Even if a customer buys for additional ~500 Rs per month on an average, this 500X12 =6000 Rs additional spend will mean at least 2000 Rs additional Operating profit for Big Bazaar, which easily surpasses the ~1250 Rs cost of this scheme.
So this is happening for perhaps the first time in this world when a customer is paying in advance to the retailer to buy otherwise widely available grocery products, the retailer in turn is paying an exorbitant effective interest rate of ~34%, and surprisingly both are glad with their respective moves.
Mr Biyani, take a bow!

air max 90 pointing forward away from your body, and crouch down with your legs. Then stand back up. Do this about ten times for three sets each. The stronger your legs get, the easier it will be to do them. One should consider what they want to get from a gym before they pay for a membership. If one likes swimming then they should look for a gym with a pool. If one likes to run then they should look for a gym with a running track. Such important things can make big differences to how satisfied one is with their gym and actually go there to work on their fitness. A modification to traditional running that can increase fitness is high knee running. It simply involves raising your knees above your waist while running. By doing high knee running, you increase strength in your core muscles by essentially doing a standing crunch while running. It's also an extra workout for your thighs. In conclusion, getting into shape and keeping yourself this way is an important part of being in good health. With the right information, you will find that getting fit is not too hard. Take the advice given to you in this article and incorporate it into your fitness plan.

The video above is a public experiment by ManKind initiative, a group committed to ensuring that male victims of domestic abuse and domestic violence also receive the help they need.
The UK-based organization challenges the lack of awareness and recognition of violence against men by society in general.
The social experiment shows a couple, two actors, walking down a busy London street when suddenly the man starts verbally abusing his girlfriend.
After he starts to get physically violent with his partner, several people immediately come to the woman's rescue and even threaten to call the police.
Moments later, the roles are reversed and that's when the harsh reality of domestic abuse comes to into perspective.
RECOMMENDED: UNICEF's Video Against Domestic Violence Will Move You To Tears
ManKind Initiative claims that around "40 percent of domestic abuse is against men in the UK."
The Office For National Statistics (ONS) UK also highlighted violence against men in its recent report, which states that on average, about seven women and two men are killed by their current or former partner every month in England and Wales.
"In 2012/13, around two-thirds of homicide victims were male (69 percent, 380 victims) and one-third were female (31 percent, 171 victims), similar to that in previous years (68 percent were male in previous three years)."
"It should be noted that of the 172 victims of Harold Shipman recorded in 2002/03, 130 were women. Among those victims aged under 1 year old, 50 percent were male," stated ONS.

The mythic potency of anything associated with Titanic shows no sign of waning: 66 titles about Titanic were published by 1975 and there have been another 105 since.
One of the most fascinating accounts of the sinking, however, has only now come to light, 86 years after the event, as though it had somehow miraculously struggled free of the wreck, two and a half miles down.
It is the story of Violet Jessop's maritime career. She was already an experienced stewardess when shipwrecked: a veteran of Titanic's sister ship, Olympic's maiden voyage. She survived Titanic, and four years later, now as a nurse, she survived the sinking of Titanic's other sister ship, Britannic, too.
"She was a raging beauty," says Margaret Meehan, one of her two nieces, now living together in London. "See, here - she had an 18-inch waist." We're looking at sepia snaps which, unaccountably, its enterprising UK publisher did not include in Titanic Survivor - the memoirs of Violet Jessop.
Working on the White Star Line, which catered especially to the American market, Violet understood that the self-deprecating English upper middle- class style often concealed dislike or indifference toward the lower orders, while the more demanding Americans at least treated staff as individuals. About the latter passengers, she wrote, "You were faced with the paradox of being considerably overworked and yet much happier and free because of their attitude."
When she wrote her account, 20 years after the sinking, Violet's story was spurned by the organisers of the literary competition to which she entered it. But her nieces knew of its existence. One of the pair, Mary, had sailed with Aunt Vi in 1949, and later typed up the manuscript. A quarter of a century after its author's death in 1971, Margaret - an art teacher - went to the library to unearth the address of a likely New York marine publisher. Lothar Simon, of Sheridan House, Dobb's Ferry, NY, was quick off the mark and - perhaps on the back of the tastelessly inaccurate James Cameron movie - the book went through four US editions during 1997.
This must surely be the last book which we will have from a survivor, and beyond being perhaps the best observed it neatly completes the range of accounts. There are the survivors' testimonies from the inquiries - those vignettes which turn up in the two pretty fair British films of Titanic. But also, the scriptwriters had the fuller account of a second- class passenger, the science schoolmaster Lawrence Beesley and the account of Colonel Archibald Gracie, a first-class passenger. We don't have a steerage account, though far more third-class men and nearly as many third- class women survived as did from second class.
Filson Young (my grandmother's second husband and a prolific journalist covering many of the national dramas of the first third of this century) got his Titanic into the bookshops within three weeks of the sinking. He dwelt on, but did not exaggerate, the nobility of many people's behaviour on Titanic. True, he had not grasped and did not dwell on the less noble behaviour of most of the saved. Few of these turned their lifeboats back to rescue the people freezing to death after the sinking.
Probably rightly, he did not suppose that there was much positive discrimination against the steerage passengers (omission more than commission sealed their fate). He was surely right to stress that the disaster forced the classes which had been so conspicuously separate before it to intermingle very dramatically. "There were people on the Titanic who had so entrenched themselves behind ramparts of wealth and influence as to have wellnigh forgotten that, equally with the waif and the pauper, they were exposed to the caprice of destiny."
Michael Davie, the journalist, drew attention in his Titanic of 1986 to Titan - or Futility. However, the fictional mid-Atlantic sinking of the ship Titan depended on the venality of its owners and officers. In real life, cock-up, not conspiracy, was the villain. And the main lesson of the disaster was to guard against complacency, rather than criminality.
That was more or less the lesson from the extraordinary second UK official inquiry into the Titanic disaster. Held in 1992, it used the full advantage of hindsight to declare that the captain of the Californian, a British ship which did not respond to Titanic's distress rockets, was, anyway, too far away to help even if he had been less tardy.
And that should be that. Except that this is one ship which seems to intend to go on as it began - being talked about. If final proof of that were needed, have you heard the one about the difference between Bill Clinton and the Titanic. No? Well, only 750 women went down...

While doing a natural nail manicure, why do I sometimes find splotchy white patches on the natural nails when I remove clients' polish? I use non-acetone remover.
There is very little difference between non-acetone polish remover and acetone polish remover. Both are safe and effective. But both can remove oils and moisture from the natural nail, if used excessively. The effect you're describing is more likely to occur on clients who already have very dry natural nails. Nails that are lacking natural oils often have a whitish appearance that disappears quickly if a penetrating nail oil is applied. Polish removers can worsen this condition. The best thing you can do for these clients is avoid changing their nail polish too often — not more than two or three times a month.
Also, regular daily treatments with a high-quality natural nail oil product will help. Such oils can easily penetrate nail polish and will be absorbed by the natural nail plate. Clients can also benefit from soaking their nails in warm oil, since the warmth will dramatically increase penetration into the nail plate. For best results, I recommend daily application of cuticle oil. -- Doug Schoon

As a business, non-profit or bond manager, you'll know it's PR paydirt once you're competent to bring your key on the outside stakeholders to your way of thinking, afterwards shuffle them to lug travels that metallic element to your department, divergence or subsidiary's natural event.
Proof of the dish will be facade neutral behaviors like accretive say again purchases, more than inquiries more or less strategic alliances, new specifiers of your components, more than membership inquiries, or a get in property contributions.
But to realize specified results, you'll have to get in person up to her neck with the in the public eye social relation society assigned to your component. Then step their importance from study procedure to a viable and total program that will head to your happening as a unit administrator.
A blueprint, for example, look-alike this: family act on their own percept of the facts since them, which leads to unavoidable behaviors astir which thing can be finished. When we create, adapt or strengthen that belief by reaching, persuading and moving-to-desired-action the exceptionally race whose behaviors feeling the system the most, the open7 kin nongovernmental organization is experienced.
What such a community family unit design will need of you, is a swindler immersion on those outer groups of race who let down your hair a office in a short time ago how victorious a inspector you will be. In opposite words, the pattern targets your record central superficial audiences.
Get your PR population on commission archaean on. This should be an undemanding undertaking as quite a few of them, no doubt, are wondering if location may be more to unrestricted relatives than clutch releases, signal dealings and brochures.
Enlist them or else in a essence in the public eye contact physical exertion to determine how all of your key out-of-doors audiences truly comprehend your commercial activity. I verbalise present of audiences near perceptions star to behaviors that affect your concern the peak. So cover with your following how you can stitchery those key addressees perceptions in the maximum cost-effective manner.
Since holding a white-collar inference opinion poll unbreakable can be thoroughly expensive, you may recovered conclude that you and your PR force can move near members of your mark listeners and ask the critical questions. And I would hold.
Among the questions: What do you know about us? Have we of all time worked together? Was it a beneficial education for you? Did you of all time have a mess beside our people? Watch for equivocal or distrustful answers and, especially, for negativities such as as inaccuracies, misconceptions, imaginary assumptions or rumors.
The information you pull together lets you set your civil relatives objective. For example, explain that misconception, proper that inaccuracy, kill in cold blood that comment inanimate.
You are a examiner fully sensible that all swell aim requirements a not bad scheme to ascertain you how to arrive at that goal. When it comes to matters of evaluation or perception, you have only 3 strategy choices: make internal representation where in that may be none, vary extant percept/opinion, or reenforce it. But take watchfulness that the plan of action you prime fits nicely near your new common people dealings content.
Now it's announcement instance - the outstanding speech communication you will use to alter what you discovered a number of of your reference point assemblage members have move to acknowledge. This disciplinal announcement is very important to the success of the program and, all at the selfsame time, essential be clear, realistic and powerful.
The adjacent tactical maneuver truly can be titled "special delivery." Here, you run steps to get your letter before the persuasion and ears of your reference viewers. Communications diplomacy will toy with that task for you, and within are heaps of them ready approaching newsletters, brochures, constrict releases, media interviews, emails, artifact tours and stacks of others. Be secure that the diplomacy you choice have a line history of stretch population close to those who engineer up your mark assemblage.
Your two-part bottom line? A workable and all-embracing population affairs programme that (1) assists you as a inspector in creating the outer gathering behaviors you want and (2), in so doing, helps you deliver the goods your department's business, non-profit or federation objectives.

Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Technology, Terrorism and Government Information Holds Hearing on Border Security Technology
Thank you, Senator. And I apologize for running late. And I literally am running late. I got held up, and I ran all the way over here, and I'm out of breath. So, if I have to stop in the middle of this, I apologize. But thank you for holding this hearing and asking my subcommittee to participate. And I appreciate very much, Senator Feinstein, Senator Kennedy, Senator Leahy as well as Senator Craig being here.
This hearing addresses some very important issues facing our nation. I'm glad that we have an opportunity to have a discussion with some of the key players at the Department of Homeland Security who'll now be in charge of securing our borders. I'm particularly pleased that Secretary Hutchinson is here, an old colleague of mine, a gentleman that I know very well and have utmost respect for. I traveled around the world with him and know him to be, not just a great gab, but a great leader. And we're sure pleased to have you where you are.
I'm pleased that we're able to have a discussion in the form of a joint subcommittee hearing because I think it's critical that both the Technology, Terrorism and Government Information Subcommittee and the Border Security Immigration and Citizenship Subcommittee be involved in solving these issues. Because we do need the cooperation of both subcommittees to find a solution to the problem that we are now facing at our borders. I told you I was out of breath. I'll get there (ph).
I do not think that anyone here would argue that the events of September 11 brought to light a glaring hole in the security of our nation. And that is our immigration system. It's overwhelmed and undermanned. And I would say to Secretary Hutchinson that you have a tremendous responsibility on you that I'm glad it's you there and not me. And it seems that things slipped through the cracks, and as a result, three terrorists who hijacked the planes that flew into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were in this country with expired visas. The problems with our immigration system cannot be fixed overnight, and I do not think anyone realistically expected them to be. But we can take steps. And we have taken steps to address the myriad of issues that we are currently facing with our immigration system.
The USA Patriot Act, which we passed in the 107th Congress resolved some of the ambiguities in the Immigration and Nationality Act regarding the admission and deportation of terrorists. It also provided the attorney general with the power to detain suspected terrorists before they had an opportunity to do more harm. We built upon that legislation with the passage of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act. This legislation closed several loopholes in immigration law by providing additional staff and training for our borders and training and by facilitating comprehensive data sharing between law enforcement officials, intelligence agencies, the State Department and the INS. It also mandated the use of biometric technology to enhance our ability to confirm the identities of those seeking admission to the U.S., restricted the admittance of nationals from countries that sponsor terrorism by requiring the State Department to first conclude that the individual does not pose a national security threat and improved upon our foreign student monitoring program.
I'm very pleased with the legislation that the Congress passed and the president signed into law. And I realize that we attached short deadlines with many of the mandates that we incorporated into that legislation. But we were eager for action. Now is the time to check the progress of implementing this legislation and see what more needs to be done to determine the areas in which performance needs to be more effective and to assess how realistic the goals of our last legislative efforts were.
I know that I remain committed to working with my colleagues, our president, his administration, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the State Department and the Treasury Department and all other necessary parties to ensure that we are taking the needed steps to secure our borders. I'm concerned with the number of the aspects associated with our immigration system. For instance, I want to know what steps we are taking to track foreign national visitors in the U.S. with expired visas. I have concerns about the number of illegal immigrants coming into our country between ports of entry. I'm worried about the smuggling of drugs or weapons across our borders and what we're doing to prevent it.
Today I will focus on what the departments are currently doing and what mechanisms can be put in place to facilitate the entry of people authorized to come into this country and to ensure at the same time that certain inadmissible people are prevented from entering. I'm interested in hearing more about the possibility of adding biometrics to visas and passports and of creating a biometric watchlist to identify travelers who are inadmissible to the United States before issuing them travel documents or before allowing them entry into the U.S. However, I do have questions about the cost of implementing these tools, about the reliability of current biometric technology and about the affect that pursuing one of several of these options will have on our trade and commerce and our relation with other nations.
I'm eager to begin our discussion with today's witnesses. I thank them again for being here and participating in this important exchange. And I look forward to a dialogue. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Secretary, you have probably heard Speaker Hastert use this example. And I want to cite it to you as really a real flaw in the procedure that has been ongoing at our border, particularly our border on the south. And that is that at any one location, whether it's Nogales or whether it's Laredo or where, we have any number of stalls that every vehicle has to go through. And it's very obvious that the bad guys have people sitting in the woods on the hill with binoculars checking each of these sites where the vehicles are going through.
And because of the various jurisdictions that are in place at the border, the INS folks may be checking one lane, and they have the power and authority to do certain things, maybe look in trunks, maybe not. DEA may be at another location. They have power and authority to do certain things, maybe look inside the vehicle, maybe ask people to get out, maybe not. And the people who are sitting on the hill are directing their truck drivers or their automobile drivers to a certain number of entry point based upon where they have illegal people or illegal drugs. And the folks are going to that particular location knowing that that particular agent can't look in his trunk.
I know this was somewhat addressed in the Border Enhancement Security and Visa Reform Act. Have you had an opportunity to address this in the short time you've been in your position? What are we doing with respect to long-term trying to solve this problem?
Senator Chambliss, likewise I have been with Speaker Hastert, and he's made that comment. And there is some reality there. Certainly those who want to bring illegal goods in across the border do their own surveillance. And they look for weaknesses. And I think from our standpoint strategically, we have to be flexible to respond to that. We have to shift our mode of operations so that it is not as predictable. And then I think we've taken a good step at the Department of Homeland Security.
As you know, you have Customs inspectors, and you had INS inspectors and Agriculture inspectors at each point of entry all reporting up to three different port directors, all reporting up to three different departments of government. We have combined the inspection services with the border patrol into the Customs and Border Protection Bureau. So you have clear leadership, lines of authority, and you've got the greater potential for cross training that will address some of those weaknesses.
And I think finally, obviously it's intelligence. They try to look what we do. We need to know what they are planning. And so we want to be able to enhance our human intelligence capability too, so that we can have effective procedures to counter that.
So is everybody that's going to be checking at the border now going to be physically under your jurisdiction?
That's correct. Through the Commissioner Bonner (ph) who will be head of Customs and Border Protection.
That will make a huge difference.
Secondly, as you know, one primary focus that I have had over the last couple of years is information sharing between federal agencies as well as vertically down to the state and local level. Picking up on what Senator Kennedy said and what Senator Kyl mentioned there, how are we doing with respect to information sharing with regard to INS, APHIS (ph), everybody that's under your control and the respective law enforcement agencies, FDI, CIA or whoever?
CIA and FBI are doing a better job. But it certainly doesn't need to stop there. That's just the very, very beginning point. I want to make sure that your folks have an ongoing relationship at the horizontal level of sharing this information across agencies, also your relationship with your state and local folks, particularly at these borders where intelligence information has got to be shared in real time.
And that is the goal that we have. And the urgency of that is very clear. Substantial progress has been made since September 11. Both the mandate of the president, attorney general and Secretary Ridge is to make sure that we share information. There are some obstacles in terms of systems. And that's what we have to work with this committee to overcome.
But for example, since September 11, the visa applications and the information from our overseas consular offices has been made available to our inspectors at the border. When you look at what the FBI has in their NCI (ph) system and their wanted persons, those have been added to the immigration ident (ph) system. This last week I was in the Newark airport port of entry. And the inspector was showing me that they have access to the INS database.
They have access to the FBI database. And it has made enormous difference. These are new accesses since September 11. And the problem is there's two different systems. We still need to make them more interoperable. But enormous progress has been made. Since January of 2002, INS checks have produced over 4,500 hits on these new availability of records. That's more than 300 a month on the average of individuals being checked that have committed crimes or have some basis to explore further.
Integration of those systems, I agree with you, is critical. Are we giving you the resources to do that?
I think we are where we need to be right now. I think it's important as you look at the commitment of resources that we get organized. We have a good plan. We have a logical way to evaluate that. So Congress has appropriated money to start on these initiatives. And we report back as to the progress that we're making and continue to evaluate it.
Thank you.

Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and Richard Pryor travel through an altogether more urban Oz in a drastic reimagining of L. Frank Baum's classic musical.
The Wizard Of Oz as musical — no, not Wicked, but this decidedly '70s African-American-infused rethink of L. Frank Baum's Yellow Brick Road trip that bizarrely fuses New York and the Emerald City. If that sounds crazy, it is. A 34 year-old Diana Ross as Dorothy? Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow? Richard Pryor as the Wizard?? Come to think of it, that's a pretty snazzy line-up, especially if you add the impeccable Quincy Jones giving some kick to the soundtrack.
Spinning the tale over an interminable 134 minutes, the calamity seems to stem from director Sidney Lumet, the king of gritty New York policiers, working from a debut script by Joel Schumacher, who somehow manages to make Jacko, Ross and a funk-gospel otherworld New York seem ponderous and dull. Which takes some doing.
This lengthy funk-gospel Wizard Of Oz makeover deserves points for effort but none for execution

Has your young child ever squirmed out of her blanket? The cries of my little baby have continuously awakened me in the middle of the night, only to realize that she had squirmed out of her blanket. As soon as I cover her with the blanket again, she would stop crying and go back to slumber land.
What if the blanket didn't slip off my baby?
Wouldn't I have been able to catch more moments of a restful night sleep without interruptions? That would have been valuable, and that's why I went shopping for a cozy cotton sleep sack for my baby.
Before buying the cotton sleep sack, I was very skeptical about it because I thought that it's just another baby gear item of no use and buying it would be a waste of money. However, as it has turned out, a sleep sack is arguably one of the most important pieces I've bought for my baby so far. It has given me a much welcome peace of mind because it has eliminated a serious concern I had: that of my priceless little one twisting and getting trapped in the blankets and losing her breath.
When I zip my little one in a sleep sack, I've noted that she moves naturally all night long. My baby may be too energetic for her age, but the sleep sack never comes off, regardless of how hard she kicks and wiggles.
If you're dealing with a similar situation even in the slightest bit, a cotton sleep sack can do you a world of good. Whether you need it to provide you with serenity as you engage in your daily activities or all you need is a night free from interruptions, buying a sleep sack is an investment that pays back tenfold.
Benefits of sleep sacks
A sleep sack helps ease the switch from swaddle to blanket. You will reach a point where you'll find it impossible to get your little baby to sleep without swaddling, yet she's grown too big for it. In that case, many parents use sleep sacks to help their babies switch to blankets. Sleep sacks feel more like swaddles than the normal blankets and you won't ever have to mind about swaddling once you zip your baby in a nice cotton sleep sack.
A sleep sack comes in handy when traveling. Isn't it lovely that you can place your baby inside a sleep sack no matter where she is? Whether you're placing her in a baby carriage, or in the seat of your vehicle, or she's in a plane, you won't have to pick up any fallen blankets.
A sleep sack helps the baby sleep longer. Interestingly, my baby has fallen in love with her sleep sack. I've realized that she doesn't really sleep well without it. With a sleep sack on, she can sleep for more than two extra hours and that means more sleep for me too.
Clearly, a cotton sleep sack comes with various benefits for the toddler and the parents. If you're yet to try a cotton sleep sack on your baby, now you have a reason to try it.

Governor Scott Walker today participated in the 2013 Wisconsin Cyber Summit at Marquette University. The summit focused on ways states can work together to prevent and recover from cyber events. Attendees included leaders from the government, military, and cyber security industry.
"Cyber security is a continual threat to our nation and our state," Governor Walker said. "This Cyber Summit brings together industry and government officials to discuss potential threats and how we can work to improve cyber security at all levels. We need to be vigilant so our security is maintained."

Going through things
I just feel like talking to somebody right now...I've just moved, I've just gotten my 4 year old little boy back (he was with his father for the past 4 years). Now, we are going through legal endeavors and custody battle.
There is a possibility that my 4 year old's father has performed sexual acts on him. I called CPS and there is an ongoing investigation. My 4 year old said to me that "Daddy puts whip cream on his lollypop and makes me eat it...it's yucky." I truly hope it is not what everybody else think it is. I'd like to find out what lollypop is exactly, but I've been advised not to talk to my child about the events.
And this tops it off: my 4 year old's father and I got married when I was 17, per my parents' request (because I was pregnant with my second child at the time...but he knew that it wasn't his)-- stupid me, I completely forgot about it since we separated right after my second child was born. Now my 4 year old's father is claiming that my second child is his too, because we were married at the time of his birth-- and we still are. We are going through divorce proceedings now and he's demanding visitation rights.
I was able to set up supervised visits for both children. I hate that there might be a possibility that my children will be around a pedophile!!!

Just so you know, Peegs do not appear in and cannot be confused with Don't peeg in the pool from Angry Birds Seasons 5.
Peegs are a spieces of Pigs created by Redbird07.
Existing Peegs
- Small Peeg
- Medium Peeg
- Large Peeg
- Original Peegs (above) - These peegs are also known as Pee Peegs. Pee Peegs throw buckets of yellowish-green water (pee). If hitting a bird with the pee, the spieces that is the same as that bird who was hit will run off. Bad luck for all the levels with the same species of birds that have Original Peegs.
- Helmet Peegs - Also known as Poo Peegs. They throw helmets pade of poop.
- Mustache Peeg - These are known as Grandpa Peegs. They can throw sticks, made of poop or a poop bucket with pee in it.
- King Peeg - Their crown is made of of pee (which somehow stays like a crown shape) and poop (the balls going round). He can throw spare crowns at the birds whenever he has his box of spare crowns. Otherwise, he throws nearby items (excluding wood, stone, glass and anything helping keep the building up)
- Fat Peeg - Also Food Peeg. The first (and currently only) peeg who DOES NOT have poo or pee as a weapon. He can throw food at birds, making them hungry and they eat. If any of Food Peeg's food hits a bird already eating, the bird just gets fatter. :3 Y U NO LIKE FAT BIRD!!!

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Nothing like a little controversy and intrigue to spice things up.
Officially, the cars of Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin passed a postrace inspection last weekend at Dover International Speedway.
After further inspection this week at NASCAR's R&D Center in Concord, N.C., both teams pushed the envelope right to the edge without suffering a paper cut.
NASCAR inspectors found that both cars were in the gray area of tolerance limits on height and width measurements (seven one-thousandths of an inch) at several spots on the body.
Sprint Cup director John Darby had a message for both Hendrick Motorsports teams.
"Don't put it so close that your head's in the guillotine and somebody is holding a lighter on the rope," Darby said Friday at Kansas Speedway.
"We owe it to a team to say, 'What are you doing? It's stupid. It's not worth it.'"
In case you haven't noticed, the No. 5 Chevrolet that Martin drives and the No. 48 Chevy of three-time champion Johnson are better than everyone else's.
Martin won the first Chase race. Johnson won the second at Dover, and Martin was the runner-up. Martin, who has a series-best five victories, leads the Chase standings. Johnson, who has four wins, is 10 points behind his Hendrick Motorsports teammate.
These guys are good. Real good.
Whenever that happens in the Sprint Cup garage, people start to wonder why. Some people start to question it, believing those cars are a little too good.
"It just magnifies it, and rumors start," Darby said. "Every conversation today, the [tolerance] measurement gets bigger and bigger. It just tells you how competitive these guys are."
It's human nature to say: "Hey, those guys can't be that much better than us. They must be doing something wrong."
Accusations start to fly, fairly or unfairly. And it doesn't help quell the firestorm when you have a crew chief with a history of time in the penalty box.
Chad Knaus, Johnson's crew chief, is seen by many as the best technical mind in the sport. Others see him as evil genius because of past suspensions for illegal cars.
"We've had our issues," Knaus said Friday. "With what's happened to me in the past, the last thing I want is another closed-door meeting with [NASCAR president] Mike Helton.
"We're not gonna go down that path. We've worked really hard to clean up the reputation of this 48 team. We hold that to the highest integrity."
Getting caught cheating at this point would be foolish. Johnson is trying to win his fourth consecutive championship. Martin is hoping to win his first. Risking noncompliance on rules is not an option.
That's Darby's point. We're talking about tiny numbers on the limit. The 48 and 5 didn't have a thousandth of an inch to spare in some spots.
"When we get close to that line, we have to understand why," Knaus said. "This is the first time we've had that, and we've been through these inspections more than anyone else."
The winning car in each race is taken back to the R&D Center. A random car also is taken. That was Martin at Dover.
When the process was completed, NASCAR inspectors felt it was time to have a talk with Hendrick officials.
Knaus and Alan Gustafson, Martin's crew chief, were summoned to the R&D Center, as were some of the Hendrick engineers.
"They said their measurements aren't that close," Darby said. "So we took the time to walk through the entire car and go over every number we take.
If they pushed every rule to the limit, that is why they're running good. There's nothing wrong with that. I wish that was us. That's ingenuity. I think that's every team's job.
"--Brian Vickers
"I think their engineers learned a little bit about why there was a discrepancy. I feel good about going through that exercise with them. I think it was very productive. But the fact that we stayed Wednesday and did that, it doesn't take long for the rumor mill to get started."
Neither car was confiscated, but those cars aren't being used this weekend. Knaus said they plan to use the Dover car at Charlotte later this month. Martin is using the car he drove to victory at Chicagoland in July.
Johnson sloughs off all the talk. Last week, some drivers complained that he had an advantage because the 48 did a tire test at Dover.
Johnson said he hoped his Chase rivals were scared. Now he hopes they worry about the inspection situation.
"Sure, let people focus on a non-issue," Johnson said Friday. "It gives everyone something to write about and swirls in the other [teams'] heads."
And for all you conspiracy theorists, there's no Hendrick favoritism going on. NASCAR officials do this all the time to warn teams about the dangers of coming too close to limits.
Darby used an example of a car going on the scale at the limit of 3,450 pounds.
"We point that out," Darby said. "We say, 'Look, what are you doing? You're taking a chance our scales will be exactly the same every time.'"
But this is the mighty team of Hendrick Motorsports and former violator Knaus, so other teams are bound to question it.
Brian Vickers isn't one of them. Vickers is a former Hendrick driver who gave the Red Bull Toyota team its first Chase competitor this year.
"Obviously, the 48 team has crossed that line in the past," Vickers said. "Chad has more fines than anyone in NASCAR history, so that's where the rumors will come from. I'm not insinuating they did last weekend.
"If they pushed every rule to the limit, that is why they're running good. There's nothing wrong with that. I wish that was us. That's ingenuity. I think that's every team's job."
Clearly, the 48 and the 5 are doing that job to perfection. NASCAR's point is this: There's a fine line between perfection and perdition.
