Take one look at the Nikon 1 V2 and it's clear that it's far more than a simple refresh of the original V1 model.
The original, which we thought had an "uninspiring design", also lacked the external controls that more demanding photographers might expect - something that seemed at odds with the price and interchangeable lens camera type.
READ: Nikon V1 review
Not so with the Nikon 1 V2. This latest model adds an external control dial, a built-in pop-up flash, a grip to get a good hand on the product and is the first Nikon 1 to benefit from second-generation technologies.
All that is a step in the right direction, yet somehow Nikon's managed to make the V2 look a bit like a bridge camera from about five years ago. It's all boxy lines and angles and, while it's small, its exterior aesthetic still doesn't get us excited.
The features, on the other hand, are far more of a draw. There's a mixed target audience: the advanced user who wants full control, as well as the developing photographer or point-and-shoot snapper. It's for the whole family, a message that the Nikon 1 advertising campaign seems to hit home with great success.
The existing Motion Snapshot and Smart Photo Selector modes - to shoot an "animated" still and to auto-select the best shots from a burst of frames, respectively - remain in place, now with an added Slow View mode that captures 40 shots and replays them in slow motion like a slideshow.
The burst mode is further enhanced, now capable of 15 frames per second with - wait for it - continuous autofocus. That's the fastest in the world. It sounds a bit like a toy machinegun in use (though is using an electronic shutter with sound effects to show off its super speed) as it whirrs through the frames. Nikon also claims that there's no camera with better shutter lag response too. A couple of "world bests" under the belt sure can't be a bad thing.
The inclusion of a proper mode dial makes a big difference in use too. No more menu digging to shift between aperture priority and shutter priority modes, for example, something that the V2's younger brother, the J2, had tried to address - unsuccessfully, we might add - via its rear function button.
READ: Nikon J2 review
There are improvements elsewhere too. The autofocus system - which was already decent - is now faster. Not by loads, mind, but it worked very well in both the dim room and overcast outdoor conditions in which we used the camera; you know those typically drab British autumnal conditions.
The multi-area autofocus mode is quick to snap into place, while the face priority mode (which can be switched off from within the menus) is equally fast to identify multiple human faces from all sorts of angles.
A single-point autofocus option is also available, which covers the majority of the screen's breadth except for the most extreme edges, and can be adjusted in size terms too. The speed is equally as responsive and we find the added control of the focus position preferable, though something like the "pinpoint" autofocus system found in Panasonic's G-series models would make it even more exceptional.

As per its predecessor, the V2 also includes a built-in electronic viewfinder. It's the same size and 1440k-dot resolution as before, though the camera's redesign and addition of an external pop-up flash means it looks slightly larger from a design rather than magnification point of view.
The viewfinder panel itself does suffer from some ghosting lag in preview when moving it around, but it's fairly minimal and otherwise on par with similar compact system models in this department.
READ: Compact system cameras: Which mirrorless system is right for me?
Image quality is still one unanswered question though. The latest 1-inch CX sensor spreads 14.2-megapixels of resolution over its surface and the latest Expeed 3A processing engine can deliver shots from ISO 100-6400.
We fired off a number of shots, but were unable to take them home with us as this particular V2 is a pre-production model.
The increase in resolution over its predecessor leaves us in two minds: on the one hand the predecessor's quality wasn't able to match up to the likes of Micro Four Thirds, and adding more pixels is unlikely to solve that; on the other the Sony Cyber-shot RX100's 20-megapixel resolution (over the same surface area) was rather impressive.
READ: Sony Cyber-shot RX100 review
Context is the key though: a £800 compact system camera ought to outshine a £500 high-end compact camera, so we'll have to wait and see just how capable the V2 is and whether it's that much needed push forward.
The final version of the Nikon 1 V2 will be available in the shops from 22 November 2012, priced at £800 with the 10-30mm lens. If you fancy doing the double then the 10-30mm and 30-100mm twin lens package will be priced at £970.
It's still not a budget offering when considering the competition, and with Canon's EOS M just around the corner in advance of Christmas, we look forward to seeing what happens when these two big brands go head to head.

Facing new cost-disclosure rules, some mutual funds are creating cheaper share classes for retirement plans.
The jury is still out on Washington's big effort to wring costs out of America's 401(k) system by making the industry disclose those costs more clearly. But a wave of recent price cuts by big-name mutual fund companies suggests that the new reform efforts are gaining traction.
In recent months, MFS, Putnam, John Hancock, Janus and Columbia separately began offering cheaper versions of many of their funds to use in retirement plans. For example, MFS now offers a retirement-plan share class of its $21 billion MFS Value fund MEIKX, +0.22% which costs investors $60 a year for every $10,000 invested. That's in addition to the company's four other retirement share classes that charge anywhere from $69 to $169. Likewise, new share classes for the $4.5 billion Putnam Fund for Growth & Income US:PGREX charge as little as $58 a year per $10,000, compared with $137 for its other retirement shares.
Across the market, the average annual fee paid by investors in active stocks funds last year was $93 per $10,000 invested, according to the Investment Company Institute.
While investors won't all realize such eye-popping savings — 401(k)s are a bit more complicated than that — the changes are good news for retirement savers, according to Ryan Mullen, head of the defined contribution investments business at MFS. "Ultimately, this is going to mean lower fees," he says.
Experts say the moves, previously reported by the trade journal Ignites, are a response to the Labor Department's effort to squeeze waste from retirement plans by requiring plan providers to give employers much more information about who pays what.
A key concern for regulators are pricier mutual fund share classes that collect money from investors not just for picking stocks but also to defray other plan costs like keeping track of account balances, mailing out statements, and even paying the stockbrokers that helped design the plans. To be sure, these gold-plated versions will still remain available to employers that prefer them. And because the new cheap versions are bare bones, some plans that adopt them may need to slap participants with separate administrative fees to make up for some of the lost revenue.

Nonetheless, touting the potential of the low-cost shares is something of a departure for Wall Street. Last year, when the Investment Company Institute, the fund industry's powerful trade group, published a major study of retirement plans, it emphasized plan size and account balances as "primary drivers" of costs — and didn't examine whether fee structures might inflate what investors pay.
On Monday, a spokesman for the institute said, "Long experience in the mutual fund industry shows that disclosure fosters competition and competition drives down fees, to the benefit of investors."
One way the new low-priced share classes are likely reduce overall fees is simply by focusing employers' attention more closely on what they are asking their employees to pay, experts say.
That's especially true when small companies grow into large ones, according to Peter Whitman, head of Putnam's defined contribution investment only group.
Because of economies of scale, workers at small employers tend to pay more — a fact of life. In the past, however, fast-growing companies haven't necessarily been aggressive about grabbing the discounts that their greater size entitles them to. For those companies, in particular, the emergence of lower share classes could still have a significant impact. "It's more transparent," Whitman says. "It lowers expenses."

I'm finishing up a cover story for C&EN, so in lieu of a round-up today I'm just going to point to a post by Corrie Kuniyoshi on the Chemistry Grad Student & Postdoc Blog. Kuniyoshi got her PhD from UCLA in 2005 and now works for ACS on education programs:
Lab Tales: How A Chemistry Lab Experiment/Explosion Changed My Life
Whenever I see the name t-butyl lithium it makes me feel a little nauseous. It isn't just because of how the mention of this chemical has been circulated in the media lately (Google t-butyl lithium in the news), and it isn't just because as an organic chemists I know about the potential dangers of this extremely pyrophoric base. It is rather because I have several inches of permanent scar tissue on my arm and a smaller scar on my face to remind me how chemical burns can have a lasting impact.
Other than my dissertation, my most prized possession that I took from the lab is an old pair of safety goggles I wore that night. It has a big white splotch where there was back-splash from the explosion just over the lens that was protecting my right eye.

MATTHEW PERRONE (AP Business Writer)
WASHINGTON - Federal health regulators are urging parents to keep their children on attention deficit drugs like Ritalin and Adderall, despite new evidence from a government-backed study that the stimulants can increase the risk of sudden death.
Published Monday in the American Journal of Psychiatry, the study suggests a link between use of the stimulant drugs and sudden death in children and adolescents. The drugs, used to treat attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, already carry warnings about risks of heart attack and stroke in children with underlying heart conditions, but researchers have questioned whether they pose the same risks to children without those problems.
Healthy children taking the medications were six to seven times more likely to die suddenly for unexplained reasons than those not taking the drugs, according to the study from the National Institute of Mental Health. The study was partially funded by the Food and Drug Administration, but agency experts said its methods - which relied on interviews with parents and physicians years after the children's deaths - may have caused errors.
"Since the deaths occurred a long time ago, all of this depended on the memory of people - relatives and physicians - involved with the victims," said Dr. Robert Temple, the FDA's director of drug review. The agency urges parents to discuss safety concerns with their doctor, but to keep children on the treatments. The study compared a sample of 564 children who died of unexplained causes to 564 children who were killed in car accidents. Among the unexplained deaths, 10 children were taking an ADHD drug compared with two of the patients killed in car accidents.
The researchers used car accident victims as a comparison group because sudden childhood deaths are rare and difficult to track.
"We're confident that the association is real and that that's never been shown before," said Dr. Madelyn Gould, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University. "But given the limitations, we wanted any ramifications from the paper to be conservative."
The FDA said it is collecting data for a larger, more in-depth study of the drugs that should be completed by the fall.
"We're not sure this study tells us something we didn't know," Temple said of Monday's publication. "We didn't think it gave an unequivocal answer as to whether there is such a risk."
About 2.5 million U.S. children currently take drugs for ADHD, according to government researchers. The American Heart Association recommends doctors consider giving childr.en echocardiograms before starting them on ADHD drugs, though experts stress there is little hard data about the drugs' risks.
Sales of the drugs topped $4.8 billion in 2008 according to health care analysis firm IMS Health. The most popular brands include Shire's Adderall, Johnson & Johnson's Concerta and Novartis' Ritalin.

Dipsacales, teasel or honeysuckle order of flowering plants, containing 46 genera and about 1,090 species, which are distributed worldwide but centred mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. The order is best known for its ornamental plants, such as Lonicera (honeysuckle), Viburnum (arrowwood and guelder rose), and Scabiosa (scabious, or pincushion flower).
Typically, plants in Dipsacales have opposite, often gland-toothed leaves, flowers in cymose (flat-topped) clusters, petals fused into a corolla tube (either regular or bilaterally symmetrical), and inferior ovaries. In most genera petals are alike in shape, but some members of the order develop two-lipped flowers in which one half of the flower is the mirror image of the other half (bilateral symmetry). Most members of the order are shrubby, but there are a few herbaceous members as well.
The order has two families, Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae, and belongs to the core asterid clade (organisms with a single common ancestor), or sympetalous lineage of flowering plants, in the euasterid II group of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group III (APG III) botanical classification system (see angiosperm).
Adoxaceae—the elderberry, or moschatel, family— has five genera and 200 species. The three smallest genera (Adoxa, Sinadoxa, and Tetradoxa) are exclusively herbaceous, while the larger genera (Viburnum and Sambucus) are both woody and herbaceous. These latter genera are found mostly in the north temperate zone, but Viburnum also grows on some tropical mountains.
Most members of Adoxaceae have flat-topped inflorescences composed of numerous small flowers that produce fleshy drupes. These flowers are five-petaled, radially symmetric (with many planes of symmetry), and feature lobed stigmas on a short style and a fleshy nectary atop the ovary. With the exception of Viburnum, which has simple leaves and flowers with three carpels (of which two abort), the other genera of Adoxaceae have compound leaves and five carpels.
The diversity of habitat found in Dipsacales is illustrated by the species of Viburnum growing naturally in eastern North America. V. edule (red-fruited squashberry) inhabits moist woods from Labrador to Alaska, southward into Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Minnesota, and as far west as Colorado and Oregon. V. dentatum (arrowwood) thrives not only in moist woods but also in swamps. V. nudum (possumhaw) is largely limited to swamps of the eastern and southern coastal plains of the United States. In contrast, V. rufidulum (rusty blackhaw) and V. molle (softleaf arrowwood) prefer dry, rocky woods or hills. Viburnum is also an important horticultural genus; some of its cultivated species include V. opulus (guelder rose), V. dentatum (arrowwood), and V. macrocephalum (Chinese snowball).
Sambucus (elderberry) is a relatively small genus of 5–30 species of small trees and shrubs. Leaves are compound and opposite, and the small flowers produce clusters of small black, blue, or red berrylike drupes. Many species are cultivated ornamentally, and several produce fruits that are edible if cooked. Sambucus nigra is commonly used in herbal medicine.
Adoxa moschatellina (muskroot) is widely distributed in northern regions, though it is endangered in several areas. It is a low-growing perennial herb composed of a basal cluster of leaves and a single stem. It has a musky odour (as its name implies), and its cultivation is limited to rock gardens. The single species of Sinadoxa is listed as vulnerable in its native habitat, while the only species of Tetradoxa is endangered; both species are herbs native to China.
There are 42 genera and more than 890 species in the family Caprifoliaceae; most of the species are distributed in temperate areas in the Northern Hemisphere. The plants of Caprifoliaceae differ from members of Adoxaceae in having bilaterally symmetric flowers with an elongate style, a generally capitate stigma, and a nectary formed by densely packed hairs along the lower inner part of the corolla tube. Caprifoliaceae are trees or herbs recognizable by their opposite leaves. They have an inferior ovary that produces fleshy fruits, often with few seeds or only a single seed. The bark in the woody taxa often comes off in thin flakes. The phylogeny (history of evolutionary development) of Caprifoliaceae has been contentious, and the family is broadly circumscribed. Each of its six informal clades were previously discrete families, though molecular and morphological evidence has led to their collective grouping under Caprifoliaceae.
Lonicera clade
The Lonicera clade includes five genera and 220 species, mostly in northern temperate areas of East Asia and eastern North America. The largest genus, Lonicera (honeysuckle), has 180 species of shrubs and woody vines. Many Lonicera species, some of which are intensely fragrant, are cultivated, although the introduced L. japonica and several other species are serious invasive weeds in parts of the United States. Another widely cultivated genus is Symphoricarpos, with 10 species of deciduous shrubs, including S. albus (snowberry) and S. orbiculatus (coralberry).
Different honeysuckle species show marked differences in flower colour and the length of the corolla tube. This relates to a variety of different pollination mechanisms, from bees in short-flowered species to hawkmoths in some nocturnally flowering long-tubed species and even to hummingbirds in some long-tubed red-flowered species in Mexico and the southern United States.
Dipsacus clade
The Dipsacus clade, or the teasel clade, includes 11 genera and 290 species, most of them Eurasian or African (many are from the Mediterranean region). They are herbs with bilaterally symmetric flowers clustered in heads or involucres, a well-developed epicalyx, and fruits that are dry and single-seeded, with awns or bristles. Dipsacus sativus (teasel) is noted for its compact head of flowers in which elongate, stiff bracts (leaflike scales) accompany each flower. The ripened heads were used in Roman times to raise the nap of woolen cloth, a process known as fulling (see felting), though the use of fuller's teasel has since been replaced by mechanical methods.
Another important genus of the clade is Scabiosa, the pincushion flower genus, with 80 species of which at least 20 are ornamentals. Cephalaria has 65 species, including cornfield weeds such as C. syriaca and the ornamental C. transylvanica, a tall annual that produces large, stiff, globe-shaped, white to bluish flower heads and has divided leaves. Knautia has 60 species, some cultivated, such as K. arvensis (field scabious). Succisa pratensis (devil's bit scabious), a blue-flowered perennial, grows wild in European meadows. Its leaves are entire or slightly lobed and oval to narrow in shape.
Valeriana clade
The Valeriana clade, or the valerian clade, contains seven genera and 315 species, most of them in the genera Valeriana (200 species) and Valerianella (80 species). Members are characterized by the rank odour of their stems and leaves when dried; they are herbs or small shrubs with small regular to monosymmetric flowers, usually with a spur. They are distributed in the Northern Hemisphere and in Andean South America. Valeriana officinalis (garden heliotrope) is a perennial herb prized for its spicy, fragrant flowers; it is native in Europe and Western Asia. Its dried rhizome yields valerian, a natural sedative. Nardostachys grandiflora (spikenard) is a perennial herb of the Himalayas that produces an essential oil in its woody rhizomes.
Linnaea clade
The Linnaea clade includes five genera and 30 species of shrubs and herbs native to the temperate regions of Southeast Asia and North America (extending into Mexico). The best-known member is Linnaea borealis (twinflower), a trailing evergreen that is circumpolar in distribution in high northern latitudes. It also includes Abelia, a genus of 30 species native to East Asia and Mexico, with many cultivated varieties. Members of this clade have more irregular flowers than those of the Diervilla clade.
Morina clade
The Morina clade contains three genera (Acanthocalyx, Cryptothladia, and Morina) with 13 species native to Eurasia, from the Balkans to China. They are robust perennial herbs with leaves joined at the base and flower clusters in successive whorls (verticillasters or heads). Flowers are bilaterally symmetric and subtended by an extra whorl called the epicalyx. In the Balkans the seeds of Morina persica are eaten like rice.
Diervilla clade
The Diervilla clade contains 16 species in two genera—Diervilla, with North American species, and Weigela, with East Asian species. Many of these are cultivated as ornamental shrubs in temperate areas for their colourful flowers.

Minnesota taxpayers may be receiving their returns a bit late this year if they used TurboTax or other tax filing software from Intuit.
Continue Reading Below
The state's Department of Revenue announced last week that Intuit discovered issues with its popular programs TurboTax, Lacerte, Intuit online and ProSeries, and warned taxpayers to steer clear of these services if they have not already filed.
The issues are for Minnesota residents only and impact several areas of the 2012 tax returns. The Associated Press reports 10,000 returns will be impacted and the issues involve property tax refunds, education expenses and $5 political contributions. Those who have already filed using the impacted software have been notified and updates have been pushed out to attempt to correct the issues.
"The accuracy of Intuit's tax products is paramount to us and we take responsibility for correcting these issues. We are confident this will be resolved shortly. We are working closely with the Department of Revenue and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause those impacted," the company says in a statement.

AUBURN � Selectmen took no vote Monday night on a pair of proposals that could turn Millbury Street into the medical marijuana capital of Central Massachusetts.
Representatives of Commonwealth Patient Center and Sigal Consulting both informed selectmen that they are interested in turning separate large warehouse buildings on Millbury Street into marijuana cultivation centers.
Anthony Parrinello, president of the Patient Center, said, "We are interested in leasing space to provide patient-centered care in a high-quality manner. Our goal is to deliver new medicines through targeted therapeutics. We'd like Auburn to be the home of our cultivation center."
He said marijuana would be grown at the 18,000-square-foot building at 101 Millbury St., but "retailed elsewhere."
Botanist Dennis B. DePaolo, executive clerk for the center, said there is a "large stigma against this industry," but that the 66 known cannabinoids in medical marijuana have potential for several uses, including as an anti-inflammatory and anti-convulsive. "I want to promote the sciences of cannabis."
Robert N. Fireman, lawyer for Sigal Consulting, said Sigal has been in the legal marijuana industry for three years and already supports a client in Providence with the "most secure medical marijuana facility in the United States. We looked at 28 Millbury St. and think the building has tremendous potential."
He said the proposed cultivation facility on the second floor of the two-story, 450,000-square-foot former Filene's Basement distribution center in Auburn would employ 50 to 150 area residents, while "more conventional clients" would occupy the first floor of the building.
Sigal security consultant Raymond S. White, retired lieutenant colonel in the Rhode Island State Police, said security around the marijuana cultivation facility in Providence is very tight, as it would be in Auburn.
Doreen M. Goodrich, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, said, "Cultivation centers will operate in Massachusetts. The question is where."
Police Chief Andrew J. Sluckis said he was glad there was no proposed marijuana dispensary in town, but said, "I have concerns about the manufacture of marijuana in Auburn. I don't think this is a good fit. Our roadways make us successful. Everyone comes here, including some we don't necessarily want to be here. I have concerns about smell issues, security and safety. It will not impact any department in town more than our department. I will ask the Zoning Board of Appeals not to issue permits. It comes down to: What kind of business do you want for Auburn?"
Ms. Goodrich said selectmen will discuss both proposals at their next meeting.

LA Galaxy vs. Chicago Fire - July 9, 2011
The LA Galaxy once again continued their winning streak against the Chicago Fire on Saturday, July 9. The LA Galaxy Foundation and its Kicks for Kids Community Partners donated tickets to beneficiary groups that support at-risk and underprivileged youth. Among these groups were David and Margaret Youth and Family Services, the Salvation Army-San Pedro Corps, Crittenton Services for Children & Families, and the Long Beach Youth Soccer League. Occidental College's Upward Bound Summer Residential program brought in a massive 86 total participants, an impressive, lively group of middle and high school students! The Home Depot Center welcomed these various groups and other dedicated fans to watch the Galaxy successfully defeat the Fire.
The chilly, summer night did not stop the kids from cheering loudly for the team. Kids waved their "GO GALAXY!" gold and white towels and wrapped themselves in Galaxy blankets, keeping warm and their spirits high. The kids and chaperones created and brought "I LOVE GALAXY!" or "THANK YOU GALAXY!" signs and posters to show their pride and devotion after every goal or impressive move from their favorite players. With over 20,000 other screaming fans, the Kicks for Kids' section 127 was clearly the most spirited, cheering on team players like Chad Barrett, Sean Franklin, and Todd Dunivant who played the full 90 minutes of the game.
The LA Galaxy Foundation is proud to give back to the community. Through the Kicks for Kids and its Community Partners, the Foundation is able to share the love of soccer.

In July 2004 his wife suffered a massive stroke, it was from that time that their lives on took a new direction. Prior to her stroke they were considering the possiblity of full time mission work. However after two mission trips after the stroke it was clear that it would be to difficult for Brenda with the physical limitations. Looking for ways to spend more time together they found photography to be a good avenue.

The NY Times reports today that insurance companies are prepared to interpret the new health care law so they can deny coverage to children with pre-existing conditions between now and 2014.
Insurers are daring to do so even though congressional leaders have made clear such a loophole was not their intent, and the White House preparing implementation rules that would clarify the legislative language and prevent such discrimination.
If the insurance industry actually follow through with this threat, it would be a display of astounding stupidity.
No one is disputing that the law's language outright bans all discrimination based on pre-existing conditions, for children and adults, in 2014. So all insurance companies would gain by flouting federal government rules is a mere three years of freedom from the oh-so-terrible burden of helping sick children.
But what they would lose is their reprieve from the public health insurance option.
To secure votes from progressive Senators for the compromise health care bill, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid promised to hold a vote on creating a public option "in the coming months."
The Senate may well choose to wait on holding such a vote, and see how to insurance industry reaction to the first round of reforms. Does it eagerly help implement the reforms following the spirit and intent of the law? Or does seek to wriggle out of the new rules on disputed technicalities?
If insurers seek to escape the new rules, they will confirming the main contention of the public option advocates: that regulations are not enough, and only competition from a stern public option can change insurance company behavior.
Insurance companies feeling proud of themselves that they beat back the public option may not want to get too cocky this early.

45% Of Companies Have 500 TB Or More Of Data Under Management, According To New InformationWeek Reports Research
Yet just 22% say data analysis is core to how they do business.
Nov 29, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Tech's InformationWeek Reports, a service provider for peer-based IT research and analysis, announced the release of its latest research report. 6 Big Data Lies encompasses analysis of results from InformationWeek's recent Big Data Survey shares with readers best practices and pitfalls when collecting and analyzing data. Two-hundred and fifty-seven respondents participated in the survey.

Research Summary:
The ability to collect and analyze data is a core IT value proposition and there's no question there's more data available than ever, especially information from the Web and the new wave of smart mobile devices. The issue, though, is that most businesses aren't good at using the data they have now. What are the odds companies will get better with more being piled on? More data doesn't fix bad analysis.
The report author, Michael Healey, is the president of Yeoman Technology Group, an engineering and research firm focusing on maximizing technology investments for organizations, and an award-winning InformationWeek Reports contributor.

"Companies have been doing an adequate job in building the infrastructure needed for data analysis," says Lorna Garey, content director of InformationWeek Reports. "However, our research shows there are major gaps in data analysis, even for the most common pieces of information that have been in use for years, such as transactional data, system logs, email, CRM, even Web analytics."

Summer is a time for relaxed living and a prime opportunity for you and your teen to get a jump start on college planning activities. Sit down together and review checklists and timelines and set some goals.
During the summer, your teen should:
Research career options. Some people know early in life what they want to be when they grow up; others take some time to decide. Help your son or daughter find the resources to explore career options, including the Kuder Career Planning System and the ACT World-of-Work Map.
Visit potential colleges. Your son or daughter might have a list of potential colleges he or she would like to attend. Prioritize the schools and visit as many as possible. Be sure to ask lots of questions and record your impressions for later reference. If you and your student can't visit a campus in person, be sure to take a virtual tour of the school.
Build an academic resume. Assembling accomplishments, extracurricular activities, and notable academic work into a comprehensive document will ease the college application process for both of you. Help your teen build a list so he can create a high school resume.
Write practice essays. Essays are an integral part of the college admissions process. Encourage your teen to write multiple essays for practice. Proofread the essays and offer suggestions.
Complete mock interviews. Research questions that an admissions counselor may ask during a college admissions interview and complete mock interviews with your child. Rate your child in the following areas so he will know which areas he needs to improve upon:
Research application deadlines. Know deadlines for college admissions, scholarships, and financial aid for each potential school as they can vary. Find out what information and documents will be needed to complete applications. Gathering those documents early is much easier than trying to find everything under the pressure of a deadline.
Because of its more relaxed pace and fewer distractions, summer offers time to begin working on college application tasks. Take advantage of the time to work together with your teen.

My gr gr gr grandfather, James Henderson immigrated from Dublin, Ireland when he was 12. He was born in1810 in Donegal and left Ireland with his younger siblings, John and Mary. Thanks.
(Part 1 of 3) The Henderson name has a long history in Scotland, but now DNA and some recorded history says its origin is from the north-west region of the Emerald Island. The Henderson story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup D2] can trace their beginnings to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. The Henderson surname origin is from the Cenél Conaill [R1b-L513, Subgroup D] who found the Dál Fiatach.
(Part 2 of 3) A group will also found the Kingdom of Ercing in Wales as trade with Romans will become essential around 300 CE. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Henderson story begins in pre-history Ireland but this line and many of his kin will move to Wales, then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.
(Part 3 of 3) Discover their newly found untold story and how forgotten texts bring their story back to life. From the ebook, "The Tribe Within" learn how DNA unfolds this amazing tale and if you look in the right places, how history narrates this evidence. There is another written account of their story, but it is camouflaged in smoke and myth – it will become the tales of King Arthur.

Alabama Baseball Holds Off Blazers For 7-4 Victory
Tuscaloosa, Ala. – The Alabama bats erupted for 11 hits and seven runs and Mike Oczypok surrendered one run in six strong innings as the Crimson Tide defeated the UAB Blazers, 7-4, on Tuesday night from Sewell-Thomas Stadium. Alabama's win boosts their record to 23-16 overall, and the Blazers drop to 16-21. Alabama is now 5-3 against in-state opponents and 9-3 in midweek games this season.
"Two things: one is we wanted to give Brett Booth a night off from behind the plate and so we moved him to first," Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard said. "Secondly we actually have been discussing putting Kenny Roberts in the leadoff hole and having Georgie [Salem] in the two-hole – a couple of things with that – one [is] if Kenny can get on it frees up the four hole and secondly I think Georgie is used to hitting more in the middle of the lineup and he has done a good job. I really think Kenny is maybe more suited for that leadoff hole right now. We wanted to look at it – I liked what I saw tonight. We were able to get off the deck early and get started and it was good to get those two guys on and Ben gets the big hit. I thought offensively – especially in the front part of the game – I thought we had good flow within the ballgame."
As the Tide's leadoff hitter against UAB, Kenny Roberts finished the night 1-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and was hit by a pitch. Ben Moore, who was catching for the first time in almost a year, picked up his 14th multi-hit game of the season with a triple, a double and three RBI.
Andrew Miller posted his fourth multi-hit game with two singles, a run scored and an RBI, Georgie Salem was 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs scored and Daniel Cucjen made his second start of the season and reached base a career-high three times on a single and two walks. Cucjen also scored a run and recorded his first career stolen base.
Freshman walk-on righty Mike Oczypok (3-0) had a quality start in his second start of the season. Oczypok dealt six solid innings and allowed only one run on five hits, with two walks and a pair of strikeouts to earn the win. Junior righty Tucker Hawley struck out one in one perfect inning pitched, and sophomore right-hander Jay Shaw allowed only one hit and two walks with a strikeout in the final 1.2 innings to earn the first save of his career.
Alex Luna (0-3) was charged with the loss in his starting effort for the Blazers. Luna lasted 2.2 innings and gave up four runs on five hits and a walk, but struck out five. UAB third baseman John Frost put up a nice night in a losing effort, going 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a double, and two runs scored.
The Tide got on the board first with instant offense from their first three hitters. Roberts was hit by a pitch and then stole second to lead off the game. Salem followed up with a walk and the two runners advanced to second and third on a wild pitch over Moore's head. Moore responded by stroking a double off the left field wall to open up a 2-0 lead.
Roberts and Salem each got on base again to lead off the third inning, this time on a double and single, respectively. With runners were on the corners, Roberts scored on a wild pitch. Brett Booth followed with a double down the left filed line to stretch the lead to 4-0.
Alabama had leadoff success again in the fourth inning, as Mikey White led off with a double and reached third on a fielding error by the left fielder. Miller hit the second pitch he saw straight up the middle to score White from third. After Cucjen drew a walk, Roberts laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance Miller and Cucjen up to second and third, respectively. A Salem groundout to second and Moore's fourth triple of the season each drove in a run to give the Tide a 7-0 advantage.
Oczypok ran into trouble to begin the sixth inning. Frost dropped a double into left field and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Although Ivan De Jesus scored Frost from third on a groundout, Oczypok retired two of the next three batters to keep the score at 7-1. Oczypok's day was done after six innings and was replaced by Hawley, who pitched a scoreless seventh.
Senior righty Trey Pilkington was caught in a jam in his appearance in the eighth. Pilkington walked Chase Davis to begin the inning, and Frost continued his strong day as he powered the ball over the left field wall for a Blazer two-run home run. After allowing a walk and a single to consecutive UAB batters, Shaw came in and only allowed an RBI double to keep the score at 7-4. Shaw stayed in for the ninth inning, and although he allowed runners on the corners, he prevented any runs from scoring to close the game out for Alabama.
The Alabama Crimson Tide returns to action to host a key weekend series against the No. 2 LSU Tigers at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

Beretta M1934 pistol, left side
Beretta M1934 pistol, right side
Beretta M1934 pistol, slide open
Beretta M1935 is simply an M1934 modified to fire .32ACP ammunition. It was considered a new version of the 1931 model and was numbered in the same series as it's ancestor.Beretta M1935 was adopted by Italian Navy and Air Force as Modello 1935 (M35) in 1937.
The Beretta M1935 was captured in huge numbers during World War II from Italian and German armed forces by allied soldiers, who liked it because of its small size, rugged design and good construction. Many of these captured pistols are operational to this day and widespread in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France and in the United Kingdom. The M1935 is compact and easy to hide, with ammunition available for it.
Beretta Model 1935 pistol is a simple blowback operated weapon. It uses typical 'Beretta-style' open top slide design, with return spring located below the barrel. The barrel is stationary during firing, but can be easily removed for inspection or maintenance. Trigger is of single action type, with exposed hammer. Manual safety lever is located at the left side of the frame, above the trigger, and requires full 180o rotation to engage (lever pointing rearward, letter 'S' exposed) or disengage (lever pointing forward, letter 'F' or red dot exposed). The same safety lever is used as a slide lock during disassembly, to hold slide to the rear. There is no dedicated slide stop mechanism, but the slide remains open after the last shot, being captured in the open position by the magazine follower. The slide automatically closes itself on the empty chamber as soon as empty magazine is withdrawn. The single stack box magazine holds 8 rounds. Magazine release is located at the base of the grip.

This module is probably the best of the TOC-based AIM modules, but that's not really saying much. The module is pretty complete, with support for both IMs and chats, as well as buddy lists, warnings, blocks, and all the other fundamental AIM operations.
However, it's a pretty bare interface. It makes no attempt to hide the details of the protocol or to help the programmer; as a result, things that it could do semi-trivally, such as sorting incoming IMs and chats into conversations, have to be done in user code. Because of this, I had to implement a 700-line OO layer on top of Net::AIM. (I'll likely release this to CPAN once it's documented fully.)
The documentation isn't very good either. Methods are documented, but events are not; because the protocol is so exposed, there's very little useful information in the module's source, forcing the module user to use a protocol specification (which covers lots of things (s)he could probably care less about, like how to separate arguments in TOC commands), read example code and experiment to work out how to use it.
There are a few other problems, too; for example, the author used "print STDERR" instead of "warn", which made it very hard for me to disable a persistent (but apparently harmless) warning.
Basically, if there were something better, I'd recommend that. But Net::AIM does seem to be the lesser of a few evils.

Seventeen people have held the title mayor in Rockland since the city charter was amended by voters about 34 years ago.
The position is largely ceremonial but the person holding the seat does often set the tone and character for the council. The mayor presides over council meetings and has the authority to nominate people to boards and commissions.
In the early decades of the system, councilors would pass the gavel to a different member each year. Often the councilor serving the final year of their term would receive the honor of being elected mayor.
That practice ended in 1994 when councilors elected Tom Molloy to a second consecutive term as mayor. In fact, he ended up serving three consecutive one-year stints as mayor.
Molloy has the distinction of being elected mayor a record seven times. Brian Harden has been mayor four times and may have gone for more if he had been successful in his re-election bid this month.
Robert Peabody and Warren Perry both have served three times as mayor. Mildred Merrill, James Raye, Deborah McNeil and soon-to-be state Sen. Edward Mazurek have both served two terms.
Councilor William Clayton announced this week that he is seeking the mayor's post for 2012-2013. Councilors will make their decision at their Nov. 19 meeting.
Clayton will hold the distinction of being the youngest mayor in Rockland's history if he gains the support of his other councilors. The 33-year-old is serving the final year of his first term on the council. When he ran for the council for the first time in 2010, he was the top vote getter.
Clayton has a good shot at winning the post. Councilor Elizabeth Dickerson had interest in previous years but having just been elected to the Maine House that will consume a lot of her time. Councilor Eric Hebert will be the most veteran councilor, having been on the council since 2005. He has shown no interest in the post previously and likely could have had it with his seniority and experience serving as chairman of a city board. Isganitis will be sworn in to office on Nov. 19 and it would be unusual for a councilor with no experience to hold the post.
So stay tuned to Nov. 19 and see who will become Rockland's 18th mayor.
And Rockland's new mayor is…
Seventeen people have held the title mayor in Rockland since the city charter was amended by voters about 34 years ago.

The New York Times never qualified, run exclusively as a voice for power and privilege. The same, of course, holds for virtually all mainstream publications, including the Nation magazine, suppressing, sanitizing, and distorting truths, betraying its readers since 1865.
Its founding prospectus said it "will not be the organ of any party, sect, or body. It will, on the contrary, make an earnest effort to bring to the discussion of political and social questions a really critical spirit, and to wage war upon the vices of violence, exaggeration, and misrepresentation by which so much of the political writing of the day is marred."
Today it claims "Nobody owns the Nation....We are a wholly owned subsidiary of our own conscience."
Yet, in disservice to its readers, its record since inception has been shameless. It was unapologetic about slavery, then didn't support minority, labor, or women's rights. It championed 19th century laissez fare, attacked the Grangers, Populists, trade unions and socialists. In 1999, it called the US/NATO Serbia/Kosovo aggression "humanitarian intervention."
After 9/11, it backed the official explanation despite convincing evidence debunking it. Initially it supported the Iraq war, and until recently the Afghan one. More on that below.
It also ignored the blatant 2000 fraud for George Bush, claimed "no evidence" showed the 2004 election was stolen, and in January 2006, ran an offensive full-page anti-Muslim ad titled, "Arabian Fables," claiming Palestinians are prone to violence and deception. Two months later, it said Haiti's Jean-Bertrand Aristide was "feared and despised," then blamed Haitians for their own misery.
After the January 2010 earthquake, it backed America's intervention, Washington correspondent John Nichols praising Obama's "dignity and determination," saying:
"At a time when there is so much disappointment regarding the unmet promise of a presidency that finished its first year on a bitter note of a lost Senate seat, Obama responded to the crisis in a spirit that has the potential to reassure not just Haitians but Americans."
The reality is far different, and Nichols knows it or should. Haiti is occupied and oppressed for the duration. Conditions on the ground are horrific. Essential aid is obstructed and limited. A health emergency continues. Malnutrition is rampant, clean water scarce, sanitation nearly non-existant, and only a small fraction of those needing tents and other essentials have them, leaving hundreds of thousands out of luck and on their own.
Yet for Nichols, Obama "has projected a concern and a commitment that meets the moment," when, in fact, he militarized Haiti, blocked essential food, medical, and other supplies, and plans more sweatshops, resource exploitation, and commercial development instead of vital aid, Nichols saying, thanks to Obama, Haitians are in good hands.
In June 2007, The Nation ran a slanderous anti-Hugo Chavez diatribe by contributor Joaquin Villalobos, a neocon Colombian government advisor/assassin of Roque Dalton, the renown leftist Salvadoran poet/journalist.
Long a notorious Democrat party flack, it cheerled Obama's candidacy, extolled his election, sees in him a "sea-change of course (for) progressive-driven reform, (the) end of the Reagan era....an end of the occupation of Iraq, and a socially liberal new beginning."
Eighteen months later, Nation writers are still supportive, ignoring Obama's lies, deceptions, contradictions, and crimes - campaign promises made and broken, including permanent occupations; raging imperial wars; others threatened in the Middle East, Horn of Africa, Asia and South America; shameless handouts to Wall Street bandits and other corporate favorites; and hardline homeland repression against Muslims, undocumented immigrants and minorities, while millions of Americans are impoverished, jobless, homeless, hungry and cheated by a president who doesn't give a damn.
Neither does the Nation, including its editor, Katrina vanden Heuvel, an establishment figure, a regular on corporate TV, and member of the elitist Council on Foreign Relations (CRF), an organization committed to one-world government based on centralized financial control, historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. once calling it a "front organization (for) the heart of the American Establishment."
Her maternal grandfather, Jules Stein, founded MCA, the entertainment conglomerate. Her father, William, was executive assistant to William Donovan, former Thailand ambassador involved in the CIA's creation. Father William was also a Farfield Foundation board member, a CIA front group active during the Cold War, and later special assistant to New York Governor Averill Harriman and US Attorney General Robert Kennedy.
Vanden Heuvel is a Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute (FERI) Board of Governors member. Others include former Senator Paul Sarbanes, former Democrat vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro, and John Brademas, former New York University president and National Endowment for Democracy board member, a US foreign policy instrument funding anti-democracy groups globally.
Initially an Afghan war supporter, vanden Heuvel and Nation writers then backed humanitarian intervention to make the country and region "secure" and "stable." Yet after WikiLeaks revelations, she showed unease in her July 29 editorial (published on July 27 in her weekly Washington Post column) titled, "Could WikiLeaks Offer a Way Out of War," saying:
"The war in Afghanistan just got a little foggier - or a little more transparent - depending on how you choose to see" the WikiLeaks dump, quoting a London Guardian editorial "show(ing) a conflict that is brutally messy, confused and immediate," neither she nor the editorial writer exposing the conflict's lawlessness, mindless slaughter, daily war crimes, and shocking atrocities, including torture in America's offshore gulag. Instead, she quotes The New York Times saying:
"The documents illuminate the extraordinary difficulty of what the United States and its allies have undertaken in a way that other accounts have not," responding only that "Perhaps a new take on an old war is just what we need to extract ourselves from another quagmire. (We've seen) enough to know that (Obama's) strategy cannot work, and enough to understand that the cost of continuing the war far outstrip any conceivable benefits."
"Benefits?" Only for imperial pillagers, criminal politicians, media hacks, and war profiteers, none for beleaguered Afghans and cheated Americans, lied to and denied vital services when they most need them - she and the editorial expressing no moral outrage, no sympathy for massive suffering, and no concern for the truth, just support for winnable wars, not ones that "cannot work."
In response to Obama's Nobel Peace Prize award, vanden Heuvel was effusive in her October 11, 2009 article titled, "The Burden & The Nobel," calling it "an ingenious leap of faith - the endorsement of the hope and the promise represented by America's new President....I think those who argue that the Prize is cheapened are just plain silly. The Prize doesn't go to only those who succeeded in their efforts, nor is it a lifetime achievement award. Instead, it is often and wisely given to endorse and encourage those who are working to bring about a better and more peaceful world."
This writer's October 12, 2009 article titled, October Surprise - Peace Prize to a War Criminal expressed another view.
In his Nobel acceptance speech, Obama argued for continued war, saying: "the instruments of war do have a role in preserving the peace, (that) all responsible nations must embrace the role that militaries with a clear mandate can play to keep the peace," and imperial warlords should be honored "not as makers of war, but as wagers of peace" - "War is peace," Orwellian doublethink, the Nobel Committee legitimizing wars and leaders who wage them, not peacemakers wanting swords turned into plowshares.
Nation writers, however, enthused, John Nichols calling Obama's speech "a glimpse of (him) at his best," vanden Heuvel saying it reflected "humility and grace," endorsing the Obama Doctrine - wars without end, for historians Charles Beard (1874 - 1948), Harry Elmer Barnes (1889 - 1968), and Gore Vidal - "Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace," the title of Barnes' 1953 book and Vidal's in 2002, saying "our rulers for more than half a century have made sure that we are never to be told the truth about anything that our government has done to other people, not to mention our own."
A worried Barnes wrote:
"If trends continue as they have during the last fifteen years, we shall soon reach this point of no return, and can only anticipate interminable wars, disguised as noble gestures for peace. Such an era could only culminate in a third world war which might well, as (historian) Arnold J. Toynbee has suggested, leave only the pygmies in remote jungles, or even the apes and ants, to carry on 'the cultural traditions' of mankind."
Thanks to the Bush and Obama Doctrines, we've surged closer to the abyss. No matter, the Nation remains rapturously supportive, a voice for power, privilege and imperial wars, mindless of their destructive consequences, its readers betrayed by its anti-populist tradition, its backing wrong over right, and indifference to human suffering - lacking vision, honor and moral courage to report truths.
The liberal media landscape is strewn with others like vanden Heuvel and the Nation's stable of writers, two notables on MSNBC, betraying their viewers the same way, establishment figures in good standing.
Rachael Maddow for one. Calling herself a "national security liberal," she says "I'm undoubtedly a liberal, which means that I'm in almost total agreement with the Eisenhower-era Republican party platform."
In August 2008, Nation magazine called her a "ballsy gremlin of the left, (an) explosive star, (a) popular guest analyst on MSNBC (now likely to) get her own show (as) one of the few left-liberal women to bust open the world of TV punditry, (not by) bluster and bravado but with a combination of crisp thinking and 'galumphing' good cheer."
The New York Times calls her a "defense policy wonk" reporting embedded in July from Afghanistan, supporting the war, not how bad it's going, yet opposing withdrawal, defending power and privilege like other faux liberals. Some call them liberal fascists, well paid to suppress, sanitize and distort truths, support imperial wars, and why not.
Maddow represents upwardly mobile middle class values. She's a Democrat party stalwart, indifferent to working class needs or suffering imperial wars cause, let alone why fought, reasons unrelated to democracy, human rights, and moral principles, notions never considered by her or other fake liberals.
At a time of deepening economic crisis, unemployment, poverty, and other needs aren't discussed, nor is Obama's public trust betrayal and permanent war agenda, one Maddow supports.
On his nightly Countdown program, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann is another unabashed Democrat party supporter, uncritical of outrageous Obama policies, including:
For months, he was unabashedly one-sided, feigning liberalism for a pro-business agenda - shamelessly pro-Obama when not jousting with Fox News or his nightly buffoonery, acting more like Bozo the Clown than a newsman, why critic David Forsmark calls his program "Meltdown," nightly "public ravings," not real news and information, evident by his topics, choice of guests, and discussions, supporting Democrat party politics, not good governance and public needs.
Georgetown history Professor Michael Kazin calls him "O'Reilly on the left - completely predictable, unfunny, and arrogant." University of Chicago Professor Harold Pollack said he "can be smart and funny, but I've basically had my fill. My life is full of shticky and rude blowhards already. Why add another?" Harper's editor Luke Mitchell described him as "irritating and his obvious sexism is reprehensible," despite some positive attributes.
On June 23, 2008, New Yorker writer Peter Boyer called him "One Angry Man," saying:
At home one night, he penned "the first draft of a lacerating indictment of Bush, a twelve-minute-long j'accuse, addressed personally to" (him). The denunciation hit the high notes of the most fevered antiwar rhetoric, accusing Bush....his alleged puppet master (Dick Cheney and those around them) of perpetrating a 'panoramic and murderous deceit' on America and the world, (saying) 'you yoked this nation and your place in history to the wrong war, in the wrong place, against the wrong people,' " accusations applying to Obama never aired on Countdown, in reports or commentaries, Democrats exempted from jeremiads, reserved exclusively for Republicans and Teabaggers, bashed separately in a nightly Tea Time segment.
In the 1980s, he was a CNN sportscaster, later co-hosting ESPN's Sportscenter from 1992 - 1997, switching over to Fox Sports amid controversy, Olbermann calling it "the pressure of working in daily long-form television....not the broadcasts....an inability to digest all that led up to those hours (in) a medium so complex it would've made Rube Goldberg blanch." Others said he was fired for being caustic and thinking he was bigger than the network.
After Fox, he rejoined MSNBC in 2003 hosting Countdown, a sportscaster turned newsman, impersonating a progressive, calling himself "not a liberal, an American," his specialty - flacking for Democrats, bashing the political right, feuding with Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sarah Palin, and including nightly buffoonery/junk food news segments.
He should have stuck with sportscasting, the right venue for fun and games, pranks, horseplay, and tomfoolery. Consumers of real news and information won't find much on Countdown.
Nor from National Public Radio, including from its now departed Daniel Schorr, recounting in his memoir that "being poor, fat, Jewish (and) fatherless" made him feel like an outsider, later "achiev(ing) identity" through journalism, reporting for over 70 years until passing on July 23 at age 93.
NPR rhapsodized in numerous tributes, comparing him to Edward R. Murrow, citing his many awards, his analysis "broadened by his firsthand perspective" on history, starting as a journalist at the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) and Jewish Daily Bulletin from 1934 - 1941, followed by the Dutch news agency. In 1946, he was a foreign correspondent, later covering the Cold War, 1953 McCarthy hearings, the Clinton impeachment ones, and Nixon era, a noted member of his enemies list.
He observed superpower summits, from Krushchev to Gorbachev, worked for Army intelligence in WW II, later the Christian Science Monitor, New York Times, CBS, and CNN before joining NPR in 1985 as a senior news analyst.
Hold the plaudits, Nation magazine's eulogy notwithstanding, lauding him for "making the right enemies, (his) unofficial beat always....the abuse of power....relentless questioning, (then) NPR's resident truth teller" until his death.
Others see him differently, notably his quarter century at NPR, recent critics citing his waltzing with Bibi, one-sidedly supporting Israel with comments like:
"Netanyahu will not accept the Palestinian state with its own defense capability. The Palestinians will not accept a Jewish state that nibbles away with settlements in Occupied Territory."
Nibbles? Over 42% of the West Bank has been stolen, total Judaization of East Jerusalem is planned, and some observers expect mass expulsions throughout the Territories for a Greater Israel, besides keeping Gaza besieged, and daily incursions, mass arrests, targeted killings, torture, and intermittent wars, unmentioned in Schorr commentaries, a committed Zionist until death. A man who lied on air about the Mossad's role in assassinating Hamas official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai last February.
Last December, commenting on Obama's West Point speech announcing a 30,000 Afghanistan force surge, he said:
"I would characterize it as being a statesmanlike speech, (explaining the) need to send more troops,(and try to placate) many liberals in the Democrat party," saying withdrawal will begin in 18 months. According to Schorr, "not really a very wise thing to do if you want to get the Taliban and Al-Qaeda out of there. You don't say just hang around, we'll be leaving in 18 months."
Not a word about an illegal war; imperial agenda, daily slaughter; appalling atrocities; willful targeting of civilians; millions killed, displaced, oppressed, and immiserated; and a shocking betrayal of the public trust to be there or in Iraq in the first place - suggesting only that the war continue and be won.
Ignoring the dire economy, he supported Obama's approach, suggesting conditions are headed in the right direction when they're worsening. Production is falling. Housing crashed. Consumer confidence plunged. Leading indicators point down. Jobless benefits have been extended seven times in the past two years. Nearly half the unemployed have been looking for six months or longer.
Youth unemployment is 25%. For Black and Latino youths it's far higher, in major US cities topping 80%, according to a report by the Northeastern University Center for Labor Market Studies. Since January, over 100 banks folded. The federal deficit is out of control. Consumer credit and spending are falling, but Schorr sounded like a CNBC pundit. Not to worry. Things are looking up.
Earlier he was positive about Obamacare, finance reform, and other pro-business measures, not their harm and betrayal of the public trust.
Yet, the Nation's John Nichols hailed his "art of making the right enemies." Others said he was aggressive, tenacious, a pioneer. NPR called him a "legend....speaking truth to power." Most often he spoke for it instead.

HANG TIME, Texas — According to the medical reports, it's a platelet-rich therapy injection in his injured right shoulder that could allow Dwight Howard to rejoin the Lakers for today's game in suburban Detroit against the Pistons.
But more than anything that comes out of a syringe, it could be a shot of Kobe Bryant that's putting the All-Star center back into the L.A. lineup.
Kevin Ding of the Orange County Register calls it the Kobe Code — punching the clock, finding a way, doing your job.
Bryant made clear after Howard's last aggravation in Phoenix on Wednesday that he expects Howard to deal with it, even though Howard missed three games previously and now another game Friday.
"It's one of those things when you get banged like that going up, you're going to get that stinging sensation," Bryant said. "That's just how it's going to be."
Bryant knows from experience.
Bryant tore the labrum in his right shoulder in 2003. He did it in an awkward way also — though more uncool than unsound, basketball-wise: Bryant tried to finish a dunk while being fouled by Minnesota center Rasho Nesterovic and rammed the ball against the front rim, wrenching his shoulder.
It happened in the second game of the playoffs, and Bryant played the next 10 games with the limitation as the Lakers' quest for a fourth consecutive NBA title failed. That was the season Bryant played all 82 games despite various injuries, averaging a still-career-high 41.5 minutes — and he averaged a still-career-high 32.1 points in the playoffs despite the shoulder injury.
In other words, what's a little pain in your shoulder compared to the utter agony of the Lakers missing the playoffs?
There's precious little time now for the Lakers to keep shrugging it all off and insisting that things will only get better with a bit more patience. The halfway mark of the schedule has already faded in the rearview mirror and the sirens are blaring louder than a five-alarm fire.
How many times does one team get say this is the week when it makes a stand? The last time the Lakers went out on the road was supposed to be the cure-all, but they promptly got slapped and swept in Toronto, Cleveland and Memphis.
Then a three-game winning streak, with supposedly a statement win over OKC in the middle, was going to be the springboard for the current seven-game Grammy Trip. But blowing a 13-point lead in the opener at Phoenix has the Lakers once more as exposed as Milli Vanilli.
Thus, here comes Howard back after missing just one game, not just to put some size in the middle of the lineup, but perhaps to show that he's got the spine that Bryant demands of himself and his teammates. This is about earning respect.
Remember, while the short-term goal is still to do a full-Lazarus and somehow make the playoffs, there is still the long-term future to consider. As the 34-year-old Bryant pushes himself to the limit playing maximum minutes in pursuit of that sixth NBA title that would pull him even with Michael Jordan, he's got to know that his wingman Howard is made of the right stuff. While Kobe and Shaquille O'Neal dueled and shot spitballs over petty personality disputes, neither ever doubted that the other would lace up his sneakers and play hurt with the season in the balance. How much faith would Bryant have in a new five-year contract given next summer to Howard if he hasn't laid it all out there to be playing in the spring?
Now the season is on the line, as it has been from the moment that the Lakers first fell on their faces out of the starting gate. Only this time it's for real.
So Howard will be back in the lineup playing in pain, at least in part because the misery that could come from Kobe for not playing might be felt far longer.

Ok I know I'm suppose to be leveling but it's after midnight and I figured what better time to go for a lucky Terrorpene taming then when there's no one else around. I decided to head over and take a look, and as I'm approaching my NPCscan goes off and I go into instant excitment mode, which lasted a total of 2 seconds as I saw this...
I see some level 85 shaman mounting up as I arrive and I'm quite pissed off knowing there is no reason other than sheer boredom for anyone to kill this pet. I asked him why he killed it, to which he replied, "It was talking %@&# to me." I realized then this guy was off his meds and didn't pursue any more conversation. Tough pill to swallow but at level 82 he would be a challenge to tame, even with my elixir and deterrence popped. More incentive to keep leveling but I will definitely be coming back to settle this score.

Good hunting!
I've been trying off and on to camp for the Time-Lost Proto Drake for the past two days, but so far no luck (not even Vyragosa). The NPCScan mod (including the overlay) is helpful though.

If you're life schedule allows it I highly suggest camping at low peak hours, usually between 1am and 7am the server at least on mine is dead. Good luck!

Once again, the date of the Emmys has been changed.
The ceremony has been moved back to the original date of Sept. 20, according to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and CBS.
A potential conflict with the NFL forced the academy to move the ceremony to Sept. 13. Unfortunately for anyone writing on a calendar with pen, that date conflicted with the MTV Video Music Awards.
"We had the flexibility to move. They didn't," said Jack Sussman, CBS executive vice president. "It's best for the industry and the audience that these events not compete against each other."
The Emmy planners, who must have friends working for the LA Marathon, said the show will start at 5 p.m.
Well, maybe.
The start time may be adjusted depending on the NFL broadcast.
Sheesh. It seems the only real Emmy certainty is that Jeremy Piven is a lock for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
