If you like Android, I have a strong feeling you are going to love the T-Mobile G2x. Thanks to some leaked documents from last weekend we learned T-Mobile was going to pick up the LG Optimus 2X and release it as the G2x with Google by LG.
CTIA Wireless takes place in a couple of weeks on March 22-24, so you can bet that all the carriers will be announcing their new lineup of Android phones. I expect that T-Mobile will announce the G2x and it should go on sale several weeks later.
Everyone wants to know if the LG made G2x will stay true to the G-Series of T-Mobile phones, which included the G1 and G2 from HTC. Both of those phones were notable because they were pure Google experience devices and did not include HTC's custom Sense UI.
T-Mobile chose to launch the G2x as the flagship of their G-Series for a reason, so you can drop your worries about it shipping with some iPhoney UI. Some G1 fans were disappointed by the G2 because it was more of an evolutionary step and did not compete with other high-end models, but the G2x will return the G-Series to industry leading performance (yes, it now has 4G).
We expect the phone will initially be launched with Android 2.2 (Froyo) and we've heard from multiple sources that it should be the first device upgraded to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). LG and T-Mobile are both committed to software updates, so I expect that Gingerbread will come quickly. Dropping a major update a couple of weeks after launch sounds crazy, but it would prove the point that software updates are a priority.
Give me your wish list
Android blogs never get the same respect as traditional media, but they still play an important role in the Android ecosystem. I always see in our comments that people complain some of the big companies never listen to their voice, but the truth is many industry insiders watch the blogs and this audience has real influence.
The G2x hardware and shipping software are probably already complete, but your feedback can help shape future software updates. Our LG Optimus 2X Report Card showed what the hardware is capable of, so let us know what you would like to see on the software side with a comment.
If you worked for T-Mobile, how would you launch the G2x?

The truth is," Ryan continued, "personnel costs have held steady at about 30 percent of the defense budget for more than 30 years, and despite Congress' rejection of pay and benefits cuts year after year, cost growth was already declining.
Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) July 10, 2014
The Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) said The Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission interim report released July 3 validated MOAA's analysis that military personnel costs have remained steady at about 30 percent of the defense budget. This is in sharp contrast to the 40-, 50-, or 70-percent increases various DoD and service officials have stated to the media, the public, and Congress. Congress created the commission to conduct an independent, comprehensive review of military compensation and benefit programs, and make recommendations for their modernization.
"Unbelievably, after repeatedly crowing that costs were spiraling out of control, DoD leaders are now saying costs are dropping due to their plan," MOAA President Vice Adm. Norb Ryan said. "DoD officials recently acknowledged military personnel costs are coming down and even claimed 'We are making progress.'"
"But the truth is," Ryan continued, "personnel costs have held steady at about 30 percent of the defense budget for more than 30 years, and despite Congress' rejection of pay and benefits cuts year after year, cost growth was already declining."
"MOAA understands the predicament defense leaders face," Ryan emphasized. "A way to balance the force and end the harmful effects of sequestration must be found. But capping military raises below private-sector pay growth has proven once pay raise caps begin, they continue until they undermine retention and readiness."
"The July 3 release of the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission's interim report removed all doubt about who's been stating the facts and who's been spinning the facts," Ryan concluded. "MOAA's analysis has been validated independently by a presidential commission. Going forward, I'm hopeful Congress will insist DoD reform its own operations before blaming budget problems on military families."
About MOAA:

Carphone Warehouse subsidiary Talkmobile has made significant inroads into the UK market thanks to its cheap tariffs, affordable handsets and keenly priced SIM-only contracts.
However, the company could soon find itself fighting for market share with a new mobile virtual network venture from Amazon, according to a report from itproportal.com.
Amazon has yet to comment on the speculation, but the rumours have been lent further credence by the existence of a similar venture from the company in the US, dubbed Amazon Wireless.
Mobile phones currently available on Talkmobile include the hugely popular, touchscreen operated Samsung Tocco Lite and the similarly popular LG Cookie KP500.
Prices for Talkmobile phones start from just £8.49 per month on the company's Simpletexter tariff.

Appeals court ruling on Minnesota's sex offender program means uncertainty for offenders — and a new political reality for lawmakers
Dan Gustafson was disappointed — but hardly surprised.
Gustafson had spent more than six years suing Minnesota's sex offender treatment program for locking up hundreds of offenders — most of whom had already served sentences in state prisons — without successfully ever letting anyone out. Then, in 2015, he had a major victory: Federal Judge Donovan Frank declared the program to be unconstitutional, ruling that it had turned into permanent warehouse for sex offenders. Frank ordered the state to immediately make changes.
The state appealed the ruling, and on Jan. 3, a three-judge panel on the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Frank's decision.
The state and proponents of the program celebrated the decision, saying it upheld a program that is necessary to keep the public safe from dangerous sex offenders. Gustafson and others pushing to change the way MSOP operates say Frank's ruling never meant that dangerous pedophiles and rapists would roam free, but that it did give hope to less dangerous offenders in the program that they might one day get out. And its reversal now puts nearly 100 offenders readying for release in limbo.
It's also created a new reality for Minnesota politicians, removing much of the impetus for lawmakers to make changes to the program, even if they wanted to. And with continued divided government and an upcoming governor's race in Minnesota, those who have long advocated reforming MSOP fear that any political will to do something about the problematic program has disappeared completely.
"Frank's ruling gave the administration some political cover to make some reforms, and they are going to struggle to find that same cover now that it's out of the federal courts," said Eric Janus, a professor at Mitchell-Hamline School of Law who's studied state sex offender laws. "It's not really a partisan issue, what it is though is a ready tool for someone from any party to use against their opponents. There's a fear that whoever sticks their neck out will get it chopped."
Case pushed changes to MSOP
The court case spearheaded by Gustafson put a spotlight on a program that sat still for two decades. The Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP) opened its campus in Moose Lake in the mid-1990s as a high-security treatment program for sex offenders who were finishing up their prison sentence yet were still considered dangerous to the public or had "sexual psychopathic personalities." Offenders were civilly committed to the program for treatment indefinitely — until experts decided it was safe to release them.
But even as the number of commitments grew — there are now around 700 offenders in the program — no one was ever released successfully. So in 2011, Gustafson filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of a group of offenders, alleging the program had become a warehouse instead of a treatment program, and violated the offenders' constitutional rights.
A year after the court case was filed, the state approved the second provisional release from the program: Clarence Opheim, a convicted child rapist in his 60s who had more than 30 victims (the first person released was ultimately sent back to the program for violating the terms of his release). Community members and politicians opposed the move, but Opheim was placed in a halfway house in St. Paul under intense supervision.
Then in June of 2015, Frank released his long-awaited decision on the case: He ruled the program was violating the constitutional rights of offenders and ordered the state's top politicians to quickly come up with some suitable "remedies" to the problem. The state of Minnesota immediately appealed the decision to the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, and no specific remedies were ever agreed to by lawmakers.
Even without legislative action, some things did start to change. MSOP released seven sex offenders on a provisional basis, all of whom are now living in the community under supervision. Six more offenders have been granted discharge but are awaiting placements in community homes. And one offender, Eric Terhaar, became the first person ever released unconditionally from the program, though Terhaar only gained his freedom after the state appealed his release.
"When I started this case, no one had even been provisionally discharged from the program," Gustafson said. "[Seven] doesn't seem like a lot when you compare it to 700 offenders in the program, but when you compare it to zero releases, it does seem like a lot."
In his ruling, Frank ordered the state to put a priority on reviewing the treatment of a particularly troubling class of MSOP clients: people with only juvenile offenses on their record; elderly offenders; and those suffering from cognitive disabilities. According to experts, those groups of individuals posed much less danger to the public and should be quickly reviewed for release. The Department of Human Services, which runs the program, said it has now reviewed all of those offenders.
An uptick in evaluations and progression in treatment also means there are 89 clients in Community Preparation Services, the final phase of treatment at MSOP before release, according to DHS.
Ruling 'changes the whole dynamic' in St. Paul
The federal Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in St. Louis dropped its ruling on Frank's decision on Jan. 3 — the same day Minnesota legislators convened and took the oath of office for the 2017 session.
The panel's judges sided with the state, arguing that Frank held the state to an overly high standard when determining whether the program was constitutional. Specifically, they said Frank failed to demonstrate that any of the state's actions "were egregious, malicious, or sadistic as is necessary to meet the conscience-shocking standard."
DHS Commissioner Emily Johnson Piper was pleased with the ruling. She's been involved in the case for years, first as Dayton's general counsel and then as the lead defendant in the case when she became commissioner of DHS in December of 2015.
"It affirmed what I believe most people in the state see in the program: That it's necessary for public safety and there is a purpose for this program and it's a constitutional program," she said. "It's something that had gotten lost in the conversations around the program in the recent past. Every day in the state of Minnesota, people rely on this program's continued existence, even without realizing it."
Johnson Piper said the state is going to move forward with plans the Dayton administration has put in place, including asking for additional state funding this session for the program. Specifically, Dayton is asking for $14.5 million in his bonding bill for the renovation and construction of 30 additional beds for MSOP clients in the final phases of treatment. He also wants $12 million to design and construct two community-based residential treatment facilities for the program. These buildings would serve as less restrictive alternatives to the program's more highly secure facilities at MSOP's Moose Lake and St. Peter campuses. When the governor's full budget proposal is released, Johnson Piper said he'll also ask for more funding for staffing and to help conduct regular evaluations of members in the program, a process that was heavily criticized in Frank's ruling.
Those requests could be a tough sell to a new GOP-controlled Minnesota Legislature, which has its own projects it wants to fund this session. Not to mention that readying sex offenders for release from MSOP isn't exactly popular with the public.
Complicating matters is the 2018 Minnesota governor's race. MSOP was a volatile campaign issue during Dayton's 2014 re-election campaign, after Republican candidates criticized him for approving the provisional release of Ophiem and other offenders.
"That changes this whole dynamic," Republican Senate Judiciary and Public Safety and Finance Committee Chairman Warren Limmer said. "As long as a court says it's constitutional, that means business-as-usual can continue."
Some common ground?
But Limmer thinks the Legislature has responsibility for administering MSOP and its cost to taxpayers. It costs three times as much to treat someone in MSOP than it does to keep them in prison, Limmer said. He also has questions about the treatment model that's being used by DHS.
"If there is a treatment program for sex offenses and no one is treated successfully in a 20-year period of time, either every single person is incurable in the system or the treatment model isn't successful. I would hope to think that there are a few souls in the MSOP program who are redeemable," Limmer said. "Those are the questions in the public interest, whether the program is found unconstitutional or not."
Limmer plans to sit down with Dayton administration officials to try and find some common ground. One area of agreement could be problems with intake into the program. Both parties are concerned about what will happen if there's another case like that of Dru Sjodin, a college student who was raped and murdered in 2003 by a level-three sex offender who was released from prison and not committed to MSOP. Commitments to the program, which are handled by individual judges in all 87 counties, skyrocketed after the murder.
Commitments have slowed in recent years, as the class action suit got more attention. In 2010, there were 49 people civilly committed to the program by county judges across the state, according to DHS. That number dropped to only 17 commitments last year.
But all it takes is one more case like Sjodin's to cause another spike in commitments, Johnson Piper said. Limmer said he would support creating a special civil commitment court in Minnesota, instead of having judges across the state make the decision.
MSOP will 'always' be in court
The ruling doesn't mean the matter is settled in the courts, either. Gustafson said it's likely he'll appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. Just getting the nation's highest court to take up the case is an uphill battle, but if it does, he thinks they have a good shot.
"You don't want the state of affairs to depend on who's in power," Gustafson said. "That's why you want to have constant checks on the executive branch. While I'm concerned this will be a setback, there are always going to be court cases related to this and MSOP, and the state courts can make changes. I'm ultimately optimistic that the right conclusion will be reached."
The process for placing sex offenders in the community could also wind up in court. As more offenders have been provisionally discharged from MSOP, local communities across the state have responded by creating residency restrictions for where offenders can live. Many cities and townships have drawn 500 to 2,000-foot restrictions around locations like schools, playgrounds and day-care centers.
But under state law, only the state government can legally decide residency restrictions for sex offenders, and similar bans are being challenged or struck down in other states for being too restrictive of where sex offenders can live. It also creates an uneven distribution of sex offenders in less privileged urban areas, Johnson Piper said.
"North Minneapolis has the highest concentration of sex offenders in the state. That is unfair to that community," she said. "They don't have the political clout or the capital to be able to pass an onerous residency restriction and otherwise effectively advocate for themselves."
Republican legislators have introduced bills to give cover to communities who pass these restrictions, but the issue might wind up in court first, especially as it gets increasingly difficult find placement for offenders. Johnson Piper said six offenders have been ordered by the courts to be released from MSOP but they cannot find anywhere for them to go.
"It's really quite extraordinary that these towns and municipalities have the legal right to enact laws that obstruct state policy," Janus said. "I do expect some litigation around that. I know some lawyers who are getting ready to file."

MSOP ruling
Perhaps not "egregious, malicious, or sadistic" but conveniently Minnesota passive aggressive to such a degree as to produce the effect of being "egregious, malicious, or sadistic."
These are people we are talking about. Our society produced these people. Of course, locked away, they are not people we have to encounter, or even think about. I am not against sentencing sex offenders, but I sure as hell am against committing them past their sentences. Despite this ruling of "constitutionality," it is wrong, wrong, wrong. In this case the constitution is but a scrim, and it's easy to see politicians moving, or hiding, behind it.
When Eric Janus says "...what it is...is a ready tool for someone from any party to use against their opponents. There's a fear that whoever sticks their neck out will get it chopped..." he points out that real people are being used pawns in a game of political "tough on crime" posturing. Posturing behind the curtain of the constitution while real people serve time past sentencing, and relying on public opinion not to notice because of knee-jerk reactions to the very word "sex offender."
Not continuing to try to reform MSOP is cowardly, because it's so easy to not deal with this issue - after all, the "problem" remains locked up, right?
Are we better than this, or not?
Sex Offender Treatment Program
I do understand the legal battles outlined in this article, however it is sad to hear that there isn't effective treatment offered in Minnesota. Monies headed for housing the inmates and more staff is only a part of where DHS and the legislators should be giving their focus. Effective, evidence-based treatment is both the short and long-term solution for both the inmates and the public.
We are not hearing about the treatments or programs that are effective with this group of people who's behaviors and mental illnesses are extremely challenging to treat.
There has to be treatments that are proven through research to be effective someplace in this world. I would like us to hear of those options that would give both the public and the inmates the confidence and hope for a better life for this group of people.
Re: Effective Sex Offender Treatment
There is an effective treatment program, but our revenge-driven society doesn't want any part of it because it actually gives convicted sex offenders real, tangible help, support, and friendship. It's called CoSA, which stands for Circles of Support and Accountability.
Please follow this link and read about the program. It's really a good, evidence-based program but the haters and those out for blood won't recognize its legitimacy.

when starting a good project just like juice fasting this really is important to get a great plan in place, since the devoid of it, ones fast will probably fail. my partner and i tell people the particular by personalized experience in our 60-day juice fast. it am not effortless but i am in a position to add that considering that the i had the many pieces within location as well as ready for you to go. juice fasting
going with a good raw-only diet pertaining to a few days right earlier starting the juice rapidly makes the detox symptoms the lot lighter as well as easier in order to handle. whether or not you are able to in order to it, when i highly recommend it. personally my spouse and i did seven days associated with raw meals before starting my own juice fast.
there are generally a series of factors the item zero in to a good juice fasting plan. one, in addition to maybe ones just about all mouse clicks sole is actually to obtain a good well-defined, tangible goal. easily saying, "my goal is usually to lose 30 pounds", is actually not going to run equally well as, "my goal will be to fit in to your american eagle shirt i've always wanted in order to buy but they never had my own size", as well as "i want in order to store from a regular apparel store rather than your as well as size stores". these are great goals, they\'re something you will touch along with feel. losing 30 pounds is usually a amazing goal : but what do you want to do inside that? what is considered something you'd such as for you to do but aren't capable to do because of your current weight?
the second thing is usually to create a accountability partner. having an individual within place that will probably keep you were made on ones goal, keep encouraging you, and also monitoring your move forward will be crucial. even with an accountability partner throughout place, go on top and also tell anyone an individual understand you are juice fasting to lose weight. let most of these persons encourage a person to help keep going as well as support keep an individual from failing.
the third thing this authorized me is actually to create daily news letters at my own blog, facebook, in addition to youtube. as an individual gain a good audience, they will support people and encourage you.
once you use these kinds of pieces with place, your own then step can be for getting rid of all of the foodstuff in your own home this can be not a great fruit and also vegetable and get a juicer. now you\'re ready.
the actual juice fasting plan is usually very simple. just beginning substituting juice drinks for many of any daily food and snacks. it is usually to acquire a 80% vegetable along with 20% fruit ratio with your juices. regardless of whether you employ too much fruit juice you may not lose just as much weight. there are numerous extraordinary juices you may have from regular basis including "lemon ginger blast" for breakfast, "mean green" with regard to lunch, and a "nice green" pertaining to dinner. you\'ll also select to get pleasure from instantly carrot juice for snacks whether people like.
the beauty associated with juice fasting is usually you are permitted to have as much juice just like people want. but, ensure that to acquire at the very least 64 oz per time -- no less. this will likely add your body because of the micronutrients as well as chlorophyll required to shed the load and also fix numerous excess health ailments that is usually offer in your body.
another keys to press thing to be able to remember can be to likewise drink no less than 64 oz of water per night out in addition to your own juice. whether or not you don't drink enough water and fail to be able to drink enough juice it\'ll stall the weight loss causing your own body in order to zero straight into starvation mode. my partner and i don't want that to help happen! keep the idea well hydrated with water and properly fed with amazing juice combinations.
when you\'re read to be able to exit your current juice fast, get that slowly. when i recommend for you to delivery in quick fruits as well as salads ones first day, slowly complete heavier fruits similar to bananas in addition to vegetables, then probably avocados the and then day. a few days later you will fill in nuts as well as seeds. acquire at least 2 days to singular eat raw foods previously you beginning eating regular meals again. make certain to be able to bear in mind your current primary the strain loss goal. just as you zero off of a juice rapidly absolutely this can allow you to keep ones weight off via watching what people eat in addition to how much you eat. you may notice that right after people come off of an juice speedily this can be less complicated to maintain a healthy diet. you\'ll furthermore notice it junk foods cravings have diminished tremendously.

Sadly, There Are No Siri Plans For Older iPhones
It appears that Apple will not bring the popular assistant, Siri, to any model iPhone prior to the iPhone 4S. According to a conversation through email posted by Michael Steeber of MSComputerVideos, Apple stated that "Siri only works on iPhone 4S and we currently have no plans to support older devices." This apparently was in response to someone who contacted Apple with a "bug" question, and used that opportunity to ask about Siri on older devices.
Now no one knows for sure if this is true, or if it this decision will always be the case. Hopefully, Apple gives more clarification on this soon. Even more, I hope every iPhone user can get the opportunity to enjoy Siri. What are your thoughts? Disappointed?

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus is scheduled for trial two days after his team kicks off its 2014 NFL season. The former Huffman High and Alabama standout appeared in town court in the Buffalo suburb of Hamburg, N.Y., on Tuesday, and Hamburg Town Justice Gerald P. Gorman set a non-jury trial for Sept. 9 on charges from what police called a street-racing incident.
Hamburg Police reported Dareus crashed a 2012 Jaguar into a tree outside the Mongolian Buffet Restaurant after crossing two lanes of oncoming traffic while racing down Milestrip Road in mid-afternoon on May 30. After the incident, Dareus was charged with reckless endangerment in the second degree, reckless driving, participating in an illegal speed contest and other traffic violations, including leaving the scene of a property-damage accident, failure to keep right, speeding and making an unsafe lane change. Police reported Dareus was uninjured in the wreck and left the scene, although he was arrested less than 15 minutes later.
The Buffalo News reported court officials would not comment on whether Dareus was offered a plea deal. WIVB-TV reported a law-enforcement source said a plea deal was offered, and Dareus and his attorney Mike Caffrey declined it. Dareus' case will be heard by a Town of Hamburg judge on Sept. 9.
The Bills open the 2014 NFL season on Sept. 7 with a road game against the Chicago Bears.
If convicted of the most serious of the charges -- reckless endangerment -- Dareus could face up to a year in jail.
Dareus and Caffrey did not talk to reporters on hand for the court appearance.
Dareus also is facing charges in Alabama from a May 5 traffic stop . He was pulled over by a State Trooper for speeding on Interstate 20 in Cleburne County and subsequently charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. The Alabama Department of Public Safety said the substance was "spice," or synthetic cannabis.
Dareus' attorney, Rod Giddens of Sylacauga, said on Thursday he was optimistic his client would be accepted into a pretrial intervention program of counseling, therapy and testing that would clear the charges from his record when completed.
The third pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Dareus earned Pro Bowl selection last year. The Bills start training camp on July 20 at St. John Fisher College in Pittsford, N.Y.

Eventually (despite contradictory directions) Tyler and I found Russ and Christie and Harry Caray together. We had walked for a ways looking for a good spot to watch from, when Moriah called, claiming to be in prime fireworks-watching position, so our combined group was going to rendezvous with her. We all crammed into Russ's car because it was closer, and Tyler was stuck laying across three people in the back seat. Russ dropped Tyler and me at my car. I thought it would be funny if Tyler climbed out of the car head-first. He didn't think it'd be funny or convenient, so I tried to pull him out of the car, and he pulled back and hit his head on door frame.
- The next day we were at Walmart buying white gas (Wait for it….) and there was this display with a ton of frisbees at the front of the store. I picked one up tried to throw it to Tyler, but the truth is that I throw like a girl (no offense to those girl readers who are more athletic than me), and so I gave it one of those throws that curves complete and goes 90-degrees from where it was aimed. I figured that I'd just grab another frisbee and try again, but I'm not much better. I might not be skillful, but I am persistent (or stubborn?), so I grabbed another frisbee, but by this time Tyler had given up and already started to walk away. As I ran after him my stubbornness turned to mischief, and went on the opposite side of the isle-divider from him, hoping to hit him with the frisbee when he turned the corner. He, of course, foresaw my plan, and was ready for me when he turned the corner, thinking that he would simply catch the frisbee and foil my plan. Just as he appeared and I was about to launch my attack, two girls came out from a side isle and blocked my path. Instead of letting that ruin the moment, however, I stood cocked and ready to fire, waiting for the girls to clear the way. Tyler must have thought it ridiculous, because it only made him more prepared to catch the frisbee. By the time my shot was clear, my tension must have mounted to a degree such that the power with which I threw my projectile compensated for my inaccuracy. I hit Tyler right in the eye from about 8 feet away.
- After our party last night we convinced Tyler to show off his fire-dancing skills. He had two of the torch-knives that they use, and he was dancing with one while I was soaking the other in the white gas (that we'd bought at Walmart the day before). My job was to spin off the excess gas from the stick that I was soaking. After it had soaked up the gas, I swung the thing repeatedly (because I can't spin it fast enough to get anything off of it) until it didn't look like any more gas was spraying off of it. Then I lit it and (after burning my hand trying to light the other end) gave it to Tyler. On his first spin it sprayed burning fuel in a diagonal line from his right shoulder down to his left knee. It took a second or two before he noticed that he was on fire so he could drop the sticks and put himself out.
- That night at the ritual late night Beto's run (which Carlos should have paid for), I stepped on his already-hurt toe.
He gave me the credit that at least the last one wasn't my fault.

One of the rituals of my childhood was the annual Christmastime trip to the Wanamaker's department store in Center City Philadelphia. My mom, my sister, and I would take the bus to the el (that's the elevated train line for you nonurbanites) to 13th and Market streets. We'd head straight to the Wanamaker's "grand court" to join the throngs watching the holiday light show, an extravaganza of light bulbs and organ music.
While attending the eTail conference in Philly a few weeks ago, I stayed in a hotel a block from Wanamaker's, which is now — after having become a Hecht's and then a Lord & Taylor — a Macy's. New Yorkers, of course, have their own holiday memories of the Macy's flagship store in Manhattan. But if you're a Philadelphian, you can't help but suffer a tremor of disappointment at seeing the Macy's logo on the facade of what will always be the Wanamaker's building.
Another ritual of my childhood was the marking up of the Sears catalog. Whenever we received the new Sears Wish Book or Big Book, my sister and I would get our pens, sprawl out on the living room carpet, and mark what we wanted with our initials. First we would mark what we wanted for Hanukkah or our birthdays. Then, as weeks went by, we'd get more sophisticated. Using different-colored pens, we'd mark what we would buy if we were teenagers, if we were grown-ups, if we had all the money in the world…
These two rituals, for me, illustrate why e-commerce sites will never completely replace stores and catalogs.
Now, I love shopping online, for the same reasons that Jean-Paul "Hell is other people" Sartre would have loved it. You can compare products, hunt for deals, and even order clothing in your true size (as opposed to the size that you tell people you wear) while wearing your pajamas and without having to exchange a single insincere pleasantry with a stranger.
But for all the talk of enhancing the online customer experience with zoom-in photography and streaming video and of giving Web shoppers the convenience and speed they need in this accelerated day and age, shopping online is a solitary business. And sometimes even Sartre wanted to be with other people.
Sure, features such as "e-mail to a friend," "post a review," and real-time chat try to create a more communal experience. And sure, thanks to IM and even that old-fangled communication tool, the telephone, you can converse with a friend in a different city, state, or country while both of you browse the same Website.
But it's not the same, just as the movie version of a book isn't the same as the book itself. It's not that one is necessarily better than the other. but each is different. And that's the beauty of multichannel, as opposed to unichannel, marketing. The multichannel merchant can say, Vive la différence! and make the most of each medium's advantages.
That way, the brand can reap the loyalty of the customer who sometimes doesn't get a chance to stock up on towels and lingerie until 2 a.m., when everyone else in the family is the sleep — and who sometimes enjoys nestling with her seven-year-old daughter at the end of the day as they leaf through the latest catalogs and mark up what they want.

I don't know if you've heard, but law schools have been shamelessly inflating their employment statistics for years. Shocking, I know.
After cracking down on the way schools report their LSAT scores (a scandal or two helped push in that direction, *cough* Villanova and Illinois *cough*), the ABA has now turned its attention to law school employment data. In fact, the ABA is currently soliciting proposals, so feel free to throw your hat in the ring.
This is going to be a much more difficult program than the one designed to ensure correct LSAT info. For admissions data, the LSAC acts as a central repository for all law school application data. Anyone who has an LSAT score took the test through LSAC. Anyone who applied to law schools registered for an account and sent in their transcripts to LSAC. All the ABA had to do was cross-reference the data provided by law schools with the data collected by the LSAC, and they had a way to verify the numbers. It's so easy, in fact, that it raises questions as to why it hadn't been doing this all along.
Employment numbers, on the other hand, don't have a central repository. Law schools rely a lot on self-reported data (though those numbers tend to be skewed by a selection bias and some chicanery on the part of the law schools). Response rates tend to be low, and law schools define 'employed' in some interesting ways: Flipping burgers with that JD? You're employed!
Underemployment is also a problem in the legal field. There really isn't a shortage of work if you want to contract yourself out to firms who have more doc review than they know what to do with. You won't earn a salary (or be eligible for benefits), but you will technically be working in a job that requires a JD.
Finally, law schools have been hiring some of their unemployed graduates so that they can artificially boost their numbers. Shenanigans, I say.
So what's the solution? The team over at Law School Transparency is doing a pretty good job. I highly recommend every prospective law student take a look at their site and see more realistic job prospects and loan repayment rates for law schools at which they're considering enrolling.
So ABA – my proposal is that you take a look at LST as a jumping-off point. Maybe even bring them into the fold for this project (heck, the team is mostly made up of lawyers anyway, so they're already ABA members). And you're going to have to cede control. Because there's a whole lot more room to fudge employment data than there is application data (you have an LSAT and GPA – there's no other considerations). Your track record isn't perfect (as the LSAT reporting scandal brought to light), and questions are going to crop up if you don't let an independent group take care of this.

Gov. Bill Ritter says Sierra Nevada Corp. plans to add 200 jobs in Colorado as it expands its operations in the Denver suburb of Centennial.
The jobs are expected to be added within five years. A company representative didn't return a phone message seeking comment Monday.
Under a bill Ritter signed in May, companies that create at least 20 jobs in urban areas or five new jobs in rural areas can apply for state income tax credits based on the payroll tax costs they incur from creating new jobs. The new jobs must pay above-average wages for the area.
Privately held Sierra Nevada Corp., based in Sparks, Nev., specializes in developing high-tech electronics, communications systems and space technology.

We have updated GIS-NET3 Public (as of 5/28/2014) with a few new added features and functions including:
- Auto-complete added for Address and AIN searches (but not working as of 3/9/2015)
- Updated Parcel Profile Report

As a fashion and beauty photographer & retoucher, I am always looking for ways to speed up and simplify my retouching workflow. In my search I've seen a lot of plugins out there that blur skin and cut corners, and that wasn't what I wanted.
Finding the RA Beauty Retouch Panel was exactly what I have been looking for.
It has helped me speed up my workflow without sacrificing quality, making not only me a very happy photographer/retoucher, but more importantly my clients.

Thank you Julia Kuzmenko McKim and the Retouching Academy team! Loving #RAPANEL and #PixelJuggler... definitely worth the $69. I'm so glad I was able to purchase during the sale. I do not even touch the Actions palette anymore...
My workflow is much much much faster, and everything you want is right there, no more hunting - where did I put that action and scrolling through multiple actions to get the one you want....
I highly recommend this product to everyone in Retouching Academy, if you have not gotten it, get it!
I'm a new photographer and as soon as I have heard about it I immediately wanted it and now I can't live without! It's very very easy to use and now I use it always for my beauty photography and also for my landscapes photography. I like the Magical Skin Tones and I also use it for my skies!
With the RA Panel I have reduced production time by 25% and with more practice I'm sure I'll be even faster. I like it and I recommend it because it's very very helpful!
Excellent product I am very satisfied! Greetings from Ecuador!
Dear Julia & the Team,
Thanks so much for the wonderful RA panels which make things easier, faster and nicer to look at when working in Photoshop.
I use the panels a lot now, although trying to transition between one's own beloved actions can be a bit challenging, but the fact that people are doing it is a good indicator of how incredible the panels are.
I am so pleased for purchasing RA Panel! It helps me a lot with my retouching in this stage of my career! I enjoy every minute working with it because it saves me so much time and everything is very easy!
I would like to thank Julia Kuzmenko McKim and the Retouching Academy team for putting so much effort into these panels.
I got to use The Beauty Retouch Workflow Accelerator and WOW! I seriously am loving this thing! The Anti-Pink & Magical Skin Tone scripts are outstanding! It really has sped up my workflow. Thank you all so much for the time and energy you pros put in for the community here!
Thank you so much for creating the RA panels! I am addicted, my work flow speed has increased 100 % and my editing skills... super easy to use!
I have tested the RA panels, and I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of time you save by having the main retouching techniques within a click. It shows it is created by the professionals in the field because these panels help resolve many common problems in retouching.
The Magical Skin Tone script - is the hit number one for me! Fixing skin tones has never been so easy, fast and perfect.
With some notion on the subject of retouching you can use these panels without any problems, and the best thing is everything is customizable within the layers.
It is a highly recommended tool for photographers and retouchers. Huge congratulations to the RA panel creators for the innovation they have achieved.
Retouched using the RA panel - LOVE this panel, my work flow speed has increased and the ease of use is amazing!
Top notch product!
The Beauty Retouch panel is always by my side, it has really helped speed up my workflow with the commands and actions I need in one place.
The panel also contains a set of additional tools that go beyond just speeding up my workflow, and has actually helped to improve my workflow, with tools like the Magical Skin Tone, Hair Removal and Magic eyes I have new techniques that really help solve difficult retouching challenges I have faced and did not have a good way to solve them.
I would recommend the panel to both accomplished retouchers and to retouchers starting on their journey.
Saves a lot of my time, retouch gets comfortable and makes my work much easier !
It became an essential part of my workspace! I did my last retouching with it and I've learned some good tips with the videos tutorials. My speed workflow increased. The best money I've spent this year is definitely for the RA panels! Good job!
I had chance to use only beauty retouch panel, and I love it! It helps to cut down time to edit images not only beauty but all portraits. Thank you for this product.
Dear Julia & Team,
I was overtasking my workflow with many of the retouching actions I created. Your panels simplified the whole Photoshop retouching process delivering detailed and beautiful images.

A quick search shows that the Finance::FIX module is a (very) rudimentary parser for the FIX format.
Hopefully, it can get you started . Unfortunately, the module has no parsing for the Timestamp - which seems to be outside of the FIX protocol message.
Since your posting was not formatted properly (See Writeup Formatting Tips), it is near impossible to see distinguishing charecteristics of your message timestamps, which we need to see, in order to propose parsing methods.

HIV No Meds
Decisions to stop (or never start) drug treatments for HIV infection: A pilot study of long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs)
"Anomalies". That is how mainstream science and health care view persons who have tested positive for HIV infection, have refused to submit to mainstream treatments, yet have survived for a decade or longer without developing AIDS.
If LTNPs - also known as long-term survivors, long-term healthy seropositives, elite controllers, or elite suppressors - have captured the attention of geneticists, virologists and immunologists, they have, nonetheless, gone unnoticed by clinicians, policy makers, and health educators. Nonprogressors remain, for all practical purposes, "anomalies"; mysterious cases for which science cannot easily account.
Specifically, very little is known about the lived experiences of HIV+ persons who refuse mainstream anti-retroviral therapies and remain AIDS-free for many years. Some of the questions we don't have good answers for, include:
- What shapes the decision not to start, or discontinue the highly active anti-retroviral therapies (HAART)?
- What shapes the decisions to stand against a dominant culture of pharmacological preventive therapy for HIV infection? What does it take to go against the mainstream? How much stress does taking a stance against drug treatments, involve?
- Do LTNPs who refuse HAART therapy believe the drug regimen could harm, instead of improve their health?
- Do people from certain ethnic, or cultural groups, have specific reasons (unique to their group or their culture) for not starting or stopping HIV drug treatments?
- Do men and women decide never to start or to stop drug treatments, for different reasons?
To begin answering these questions is the main objective of this study. And in order to answer these questions, we need to listen to the stories of people who have experienced exactly what we're talking about, here: no drug treatment for HIV infection.
The Principal Investigator in this study is Dr. Pat Goodson. She is a health educator, and a professor in the Division of Health Education (Department of Health & Kinesiology). She has been at Texas A&M University for 11 years. One of her areas of research is the sexual health of adults and adolescents.
Pat is seeking participants for this study. If you, or someone you know, might be interested in participating, and would like to be interviewed, please check to see if you meet the criteria for participating in the study. We can only interview people who:
- were diagnosed HIV positive at least 8 years ago
- have not been diagnosed with AIDS (ever)
- are not taking medication for HIV at the moment
- are 18 years old or older
If interested, please contact Pat Goodson (or her research assistant) to set up an interview by PHONE or SKYPE:

Rick Sladewski makes six different models of aluminum carts. He got the idea for the carts by watching people struggle with lugging stuff back and forth to the beach. The carts are made from one inch 6061 T6 aluminum tubing. He welds them together with a Lincoln Pro-MIG 135 (current model is a Pro-MIG 140) and Lincoln SuperGlaze® 4043 aluminum MIG wire under 100% argon shielding gas.
*The above project images and descriptions have been published to show how individuals used their ingenuity for their own needs, convenience and enjoyment. Only limited details are available and the projects have NOT been engineered by the Lincoln Electric Company. Therefore, when you use the ideas for projects of your own, you must develop your own details and plans and the safety and performance of your work is your responsibility.

Selena Gomez has pledged to donate $1 (62 pence) from every ticket sold to her upcoming show in Boston, Massachusetts to a charity set up to help locals affected by the marathon bombings.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino have created The One Fund Boston to assist those affected by the 15 April (13) atrocity, which left three people dead and more than 175 injured, and the singer/actress has offered her support to the cause.
Gomez plans to hand over $1 from every ticket sold for her show at the city's TD Garden venue on 12 October (13) to the scheme, which boasted donations of more than $23 million as WENN went to press.
Neil Diamond has also pledged proceeds from his hit song Sweet Caroline, which is used as an anthem for local baseball team, the Boston Red Sox.

"I think it's clear Soglin won," one person told me after last night's mayoral forum at the Capitol Lakes Retirement Center. "Is that really what you think," I asked. "Or is that just what you want to think?"
In general, I thought the debate was a wash. Cieslewicz did a good job of defending his record, and, as usual, spoke well and appeared likable. Soglin, whose body language, especially while others were speaking, seemed to indicate awkwardness or agitation, got better as the debate went on, and I think he had his best moment at the end, when he promised to implement two of the museum plans offered by self-proclaimed unserious candidate Dennis DeNure, as well as a museum of women's sports.
Along with his Packers tie, construction supervisor John Blotz's nasal accent and earnest outrage at "the erosion of the integrity of the civil service" in Madison undoubtedly made him the most midwestern candidate in a field in which all but one candidate were born and raised in the Heartland (yes, Illinois counts).
Nevertheless, for Blotz to stand a chance, he needs to develop some more material for the stump.
But I also thought Soglin suffered from the same problem as Blotz on the more controversial issues, including the Overture and the Edgewater. I think last night proved that attacking the mayor on issues of city procedure is tough, especially when the audience is not restricted to Madison political junkies.
Cieslewicz easily brushed off allegations that he was marginalizing citizen committees and neighborhood groups by saying that he and the Council follow the recommendations of of committees 99% of the time, but that at the end of the day, elected officials are elected to make their own decisions.
When a man in the audience pointed out that the people Cieslewicz is agreeing with 99% of the time were people he appointed, the mayor responded, "that's the point." He went on to say, however, that he was dedicated to ideological diversity.
"I'm even looking for a spot for David Blaska, who desperately wants a position...and he and I aren't even on the same planet."
If there's a local stand-up comedian who should have run for mayor, it's Dan Potacke. A performance that would have combined knowledge of city affairs with humor -- which is kind of what Dennis DeNure delivered -- would have been great. I think the stand-up who is running, Nick Hart, was caught awkwardly last night in between his wish to make jokes and his realization that the audience consisted largely of people staying up past their bedtime to learn about important issues facing their city.
In the end, I think Hart's candidacy would be more appropriate at the state level. For instance, his contention that we might not have enough oil to build the high-speed rail line was only slightly more absurd than the case made by Scott Walker -- that we don't have enough money to build it. And the voters actually bought that one. Tragic hilarity.

5 Room Art Deco Pool Villa sleeping up to 8 people located in South Beach Miami Art Deco District. Enjoy Suite Villa Living at the Art Deco Estate, amenities of a Resort and exclusivity of a Private Club. Approximately 1800sf including private patio overlooking pool area, 3 Bedrooms with 1 King Bed or 2 Twin Beds per room after preference, Living Room with Designer Daybed Sofas that can also be made as beds, 50 Inch Plasma TV, Fireplace, Fully Equipped Kitchen, Dining Room, Living Room, Plasma TV with Cable TV in each room, closets, dressers and 1 Bathroom.
Being in a private home, in a private building/community, and not registered at a condo-hotel, all guests understand that this is a private property exclusively for the owners and personally invited guest of owners only. In this case guests are considered an INVITED GUEST OF OWNER. This private property is located in an upscale residential neighborhood that is mainly for permanent residents. Due to the fact that this destination also has been known to become a party spot for celebrities and additionally, just like big cities like New York, LA, Miami, Tampa, etc. this destination does not allow private homes to be vacation home rentals or short term home-or-condo rentals, unless guest are invited guests of the owner, registered at a hotel, or on a 6 months 1 day or longer lease. So in this case any guests are SPECIALLY INVITED GUEST OF OWNER, NOT a tenant or renter, and fee charged is considered an invitation consulting fee. As long as there are no parties, no loud noise that neighbors can hear, parking in designated areas, normal guest appearance, normal dressed, etc. and being INVITED GUEST OF OWNER, this will not offend anyone and instead satisfy everyone. This home should be considered a sanctuary and not for parties.
