Taylor Swift Readying 'Explosive' Performance for 2014 MTV Music Awards
Taylor Swift will take the stage in August to perform at the 2014 MTV Music Awards, and it sounds like her performance will be one to watch.
E Online reports that Swift is readying an 'explosive' performance, with a source dishing, "It's not a collaboration with another singer." The songstress always puts on a great show, ranging from heartfelt to dramatic, with surprising outfit changes and full-on emotion -- and based on her track record, her MTV Music Awards set will not disappoint.
Swift joins other performers like Usher, Ariana Grande and 5 Seconds of Summer. She has won two Moonman trophies in the past, taking home Best Female Video in 2009 and 2013 for 'You Belong With Me' and 'I Knew You Were Trouble.'
Even though the 'Red' hitmaker isn't up for any awards at this awards show, fans will get to see Swift shining in all her glory onstage. The song she'll perform has not yet been reported; will it be a song off her 'Red' album, or new one from her forthcoming record which is expected to impact sometime this year?
The 2014 MTV Video Music Awards will air on Aug. 24 at 9PM ET from the Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
Taylor Swift Has One of the Top Country Music Videos Ever!

It's hip to hate on Washington these days.
A recent poll shows 93 percent of Americans agree with the statement: "There is too much fighting between Democrats and Republicans and very little cooperation." Indeed, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) tapped into the national revulsion with political infighting last week by renouncing partisan gridlock and pledging to serve his country from outside the beltway. But what if partisanship and factionalism isn't the kryptonite to Democracy that it's made out to be? Here's what some pundits are saying in defense of the angry retort:
- "Every major milestone in American history has been won after a major protracted and partisan battle," HuffPo founder Arianna Huffington said on ABC's "This Week." "Go back to the Emancipation Proclamation, the 19th Amendment, the New Deal, Medicare, Social Security, the Voting Rights Act. These were big partisan battles -- one of them involved a civil war. And so the idea that somehow we can all come to the middle and do what? Free half the slaves? Or free them from 12 to five?"
- Speaking on the same ABC panel, conservative talking head George Will said Washington pundits regularly complain that the government is broken. "These moments all have one thing in common: the left is having trouble enacting its agenda," he said. "No one, when George W. Bush had trouble enacting his agenda on Social Security, said 'Oh, that's terrible. The government's broken.'"
- Ezra Klein, writing for Newsweek, argues the presidency itself exacerbates partisanship. He points to research by political scientist Frances Lee that found when a president takes a position on an issue "the chances of a party-line vote skyrocket." "To get an idea of the cost of cooperation, imagine that the guy in the cubicle next to you is not only competing with you for a promotion but might also lose his job if the boss likes your work," he writes. "Think he's going to sing your praises at the next staff meeting?" Klein's solution: either have the president back off or weaken the filibuster in Congress so the majority in power can govern successfully.
- "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the most divisive and partisan of them all?" asks Aaron Miller, a columnist at Wisconsin's La Crosse Tribune. The answer: Americans. Miller bemoans the angry emails he gets from conservative friends and family and lambastes liberals for having never given George W. Bush credit for any successes. Americans should stand behind their elected officials until "shortly before the next votes are to be cast."That's the time for getting all partisany, he argues.
- Over at RealClearPolitics, David Harsany argues it's time for the bipartisanship chorus to chillax. Partisanship is "unseemly" but also "generally constructive." "The two-party system, with all its obvious faults, allows most of you to vote for some generally acceptable envoy to advocate for whatever ideological belief system you've decided on that election cycle," he writes. "In this system, two powerful parties of consensus try to destroy each other and, at the same time, keep an eye on polls. And if polls are any indication, it seems as if the process is working quite well these days."

Federal officials say they have new evidence that Mexico's most violent drug cartels are exploiting U.S. guns laws to acquire massive quantities of assault rifles and other firearms for use in their war against the Mexican government.
In an early morning round-up in Arizona, law enforcement agents Tuesday arrested 20 people who are accused of illegally buying hundreds of AK-47s and other firearms at U.S. gun stores. The defendants allegedly acted as "straw purchasers," falsely declaring on federal forms they were purchasing the weapons for themselves, rather than their real clients: the Sinaloa Cartel and other Mexican drug trafficking organizations across the border, the officials said.

Philip Seymour Hoffman withdrew a total of $1,200 from an ATM at a supermarket near his New York City apartment the night before he was found lifeless in his bathroom with a syringe still in his left arm, sources told NBC News.

"The massive size of this operation exemplifies the magnitude of the problem — Mexican drug lords go shopping for war weapons in Arizona," said Dennis K. Burke, the U.S. attorney for Arizona, who announced the raids at a press conference in Phoenix.
Story: Firearms from U.S. being used in Mexico drug violence
The raids, along with five accompanying indictments of 34 suspects, are likely to call new attention to the state of U.S. gun laws at a time they have been the subject of mounting debate in recent weeks triggered by the Tucson shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Jared Loughner is accused of taking advantage of those laws to acquire a Glock 19 semi-automatic pistol and at least two high-capacity magazines at an Arizona gun store despite a history of mental troubles and drug use. U.S. agents say Mexico's drug cartels have similarly exploited the laws.Story: ATF targets gun dealers to stem sales to Mexican cartels
In the cases announced Tuesday, officials said the alleged straw buyers managed to acquire the weapons — and pass federal background checks — without raising red flags despite the fact that in some cases they plunked down large sums of cash for multiple purchases of assault rifles. In one case, officials said, seven individuals spent $104,251 in cash at various Phoenix-area firearms dealers to acquire 140 firearms.
A federal indictment charges that some of the alleged gun traffickers would buy ten to twenty AK-47s per visit — sometimes just days apart and often from the same gun store, the Lone Wolf Trading Company in Glendale, Ariz.
In one instance, according to the indictment, an alleged gun trafficker named Manuel Fabian Celis-Acosta called the Lone Wolf gun store on Dec. 8, 2009, and asked how many AK-47s the store had in stock. Forty five minutes later, an alleged straw buyer and co-conspirator showed up at the store and bought 20 AK-47s, which he allegedly transported to an auto auction business in Phoenix and and then loaded into other vehicles.
Last Aug. 5, another defendant charged in the case bought 12 AK-47s from Lone Wolf that three days later were discovered concealed in a stove and a television in an attempt to smuggle them into Mexico at a border stop.
A clerk who answered the phone at the Lone Wolf gun shop Tuesday said he knew nothing about the charges against the store's former customers and referred any questions to Lone Wolf's owner, who was not available for comment.
Many of the weapons purchased by the groups were AK-47s, which were banned under federal law in 1994, but became legal when the ban lapsed in 2004.

In addition, officials of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the arrests point to the urgent need for White House approval of a federal rule they proposed last month that would require firearms dealers in four southwest border states — Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, and California — to report multiple sales of long guns.
Currently, firearms dealers must report to the ATF when a customer buys two or more handguns, but no such requirement exists for long guns such as AK-47s, which were described by officials as the "weapon of choice" for Mexican drug trafficking organizations.
ATF officials said such reporting would be an invaluable "intelligence tool" that would allow them identify potential straw buyers for the cartels.
But that proposal, which was published in Federal Register in December, has drawn angry protests from the National Rifle Association and firearms industry, whose spokesmen argue it would impose an unnecessary regulatory burden on the gun stores and potentially infringe on the Second Amendment rights of legitimate gun buyers.
When ATF acting director Ken Melson announced the proposal on Dec. 20, he said he expected it would be finalized and take effect in early January. But that has not happened, raising concerns within ATF that the gun lobby's opposition may have stalled it. A spokesman for the Justice Department did not return a phone call seeking comment Tuesday.

There was a contest I had with myself whilst working my old job in a off license in the middle of nowhere. In the interludes between serving semi wine connoisseurs and those with a toothless fix for cheap cider, there was respite in the form of either laughing at the pointless derision towards everything in my workmates' copies of the Daily Mail, or the games on my phone twinned with the only station that would play on the shop's radio; Radio One. But strangely, I found the only point before the somewhat more interesting evening sessions that would save me was The Hoosiers' 'Goodbye Mr. A'.
Now, I by no means profess to be any sort of modern pop obsessive. But the happy-go-lucky pointlessness of that song seemed to be an ironic stab at the vacuous nature of that which it fit into. It was, like early Alphabeat, a testament to the fact that classic pop could still be written with classic, almost rocky hooks in mind, as well as a a serious not to the idea of the 'hook'. But in a recent interview it seemed that Irwin Sparkes (frontman of The Hoosiers and potentially slightly-remedial alter-ego of Adam Levine) was struggling to keep up with the rapidly changing pop horizon. He saw a need to change up the band's stylings to fit into a more appropriate, dancier landscape.
So, with that in mind, what can be said about The Illusion Of Safety is that if you have any inclination towards the beautifully intricate synthesized pop of the Eighties, and hence a lot of modern accessible Shiny Songs, then the opening double gambit will, remarkably, make you quite happy. Lead single 'Choices' has an almost Hot Chip-esque synth line, twinned with a chorus so gloriously nonsensical ("who doesn't want a choice, after all?") that it strikes the same chord the Hoosiers hit when they first arrived on the scene. Next up and 'Bumpy Ride' could easily slide into a John Hughes film soundtrack, suggesting that the boys may have hit their stride in full. But, two killer pop songs does not a pop classic make. And unfortunately, despite their gallant strides, the rest of the album is a chore.
For the most part, Sparkes and co take 'influence' just too far, to the point where these songs could easily have been lifted from some kind of semi-obscure hair-metal back catalogue. 'Live By The Ocean' is a fine example of just how their mesh of sounds have gone all wrong, sounding like those chaps from Keane trying to build up to an almighty Van Halen style chorus. Attempts at balladry fall by the way side – 'Who Said Anything About Falling In Love' and 'Lovers In My Head' are too sparse in lyrical content to hold anything more evolved than a neandertholic ear, while the Girls Aloud baiting efforts of 'Giddy Up' and 'Unlikely Hero' simply don't work.
It can't be said that The Hoosiers write total pap; it's impossible to say that this is the worst pop album you will ever hear, because the substance that they have the potential to offer does come through on rare occasion. But they may just be another one hit wonder, of the sort that the decade they so wish to emulate churned out by the bucket load.

Roadsters at auction?
Roadsters at auction?
I would look at at least a 2.0 2010 model if you need to buy used. There were a lot of upgrades from the 2008 to 2010 model. I never understood how someone could buy a car like that and not drive it but you'd have to ask the seller why.
If you buy new, you can get the $7,500 federal tax credit so that's something to factor in.
Let us know what you find out. I know that I, for one, am very curious to know why Roadster's are turning up there.
There have been Roadsters on eBay for quite some time. In recent months there always seem to be at least 2 to 3 at any given time. I purchased a used 2008 over a 2010, because the price difference was almost $20,000. So maybe there are significant upgrades between 2010 and 2008, but the price differenial to me more than made up for those differences.
When purchasing used, I actually think it is a idea good to get one with a few thousand miles on it so that any early problems are already fixed. I'd be really suspicious of a 2008 with only a couple hundred miles on it.
What are the major differences between the 2.0 and 2.5 outside of the price tag??
@ MaryBeth...The 2.5 has a remodelled front end, a little more sound insulation, a re-designed rear diffuser, upgraded seat comfort, and a more robust PEM that allows better / more reliable performance in extreme temperatures.

I'm noticing an increased desire to make Hadoop more modular. I'm not sure why this is happening now, but it's probably because as more people start using Hadoop it needs to be more malleable (people want to plug in their own implementations of things), and the way to do that in software is through modularity.
Some examples:

Today's major focus was on the September USDA Supply and Demand report and like many report days we saw some large moves. December corn ended up finishing 9 cents higher at $7.45 ½, December wheat down 2 ½ cents at $7.27 ¼, and November soybeans down 29 ½ cents at $14.13.
On the report they ended up lowering the corn yield to 148.1 from 153 on the August report and 148.8 as an average guess. They are also using one of the lowest ear weights in 20 years and the lowest since 2003. They ended up lowering feed and residual usage by 200 million bushels to 4.7 billion. The ethanol usage was also lowered by 100 million bushels to 5.0 billion. US corn carryout is pegged at 672 million bushels which is lower than the August estimate of 714 but higher than the average analyst guess.
There was a huge unwinding of the beans-corn spread today with soybeans having a large liquidation. The USDA soybean yield estimate came in at 41.8 which was 0.4 bpa higher than the average analyst guess. With China cancelling 240,000 MTS of 2011-2012 soybeans last week before we even harvest the crop this was a little unsettling for the bulls.
Also today we had crop progress released and is as follows:
Corn September 11th 5-year average
Dough: 97% 96%
Dented: 84% 82%
Mature: 29% 33%
Condition: 53% good-excellent which is 1% better than last week.
Soybeans September 11th 5-year average
Dropping Leaves 15% 27%
Soybean condition: 56% good-excellent which is unchanged from last week.
Winter wheat is 6% planted vs 10% on average at this time.
Last thing to note, several weather watchers have called for a hard freeze in the upper Midwest for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Take a look at the breakdown of the following states % of dropping leaves:
September 11th 5-year average
Minnesota: 9% 30%
Iowa: 8% 24%
Wisconsin: 15% 27%
North Dakota: 13% 37%
South Dakota: 33% 43%.
Obviously this is cause for concern it just depends on how cold it gets and how far south it is. We will have to see how it plays out but this is something that could give soybeans a lift this week.

Last Time Out
The Harvard women's lacrosse team defeated Brown Saturday afternoon at Harvard Stadium behind a season-high 16 goal effort, 16-8.
Jennifer VanderMeulen tied her career-high with six goals to lead a balanced scoring attack for the Crimson as six different players registered a goal. VanderMeulen's six goals also moved her into a tie for sixth place on Harvard's career goals list with 122.
Micaela Cyr and Danielle Tetreault recorded a hat trick apiece, while Kyleigh Keating netted two. Melanie Baskind and Chelsey Newman scored one goal each, with Cyr, Keating, Newman and Tyler Petropulos each handing out one assist. Keating recorded a career high six draw controls.
The Crimson held the advantage in several statistical categories including shots, 25-18, ground balls, 18-11, and draw controls, 17-9. Harvard was perfect on free-position shots connecting on all four.
Scouting the Crusaders
Holy Cross will carry a 6-6 overall record into Wednesday's contest after knocking off Bucknell, 20-5, on Saturday. Holy Cross' 20-goals scored against the Bison marked a season high as seven different Crusaders got in on the action.
Laura Ryan (31g, 5a) and Taylor Zebrowski (28g, 8a) have registered a team-high 36 points to lead the Crusader attack. Ryan also leads the team with 47 draw controls and ranks second with 21 ground balls. Sara Hennessey has added 31 points (30g, 1a), 29 draw controls and 14 caused turnovers.

Harvard is a perfect 7-0 all-time against Holy Cross including a 10-6 win last season in Worcester, Mass. Jennifer VanderMeulen and Danielle Tetreault posted three goals apiece for the Crimson as Kerry Clark made seven saves in the net. Wednesday's showdown between the teams will mark the seventh consecutive season the teams have played one another.
Ivy League Honors
Senior Melanie Baskind was named the Ivy League's Defensive Player of the Week on April 9, marking the second time this season she has earned the honor and the third time it has gone to the Crimson. Baskind opened the week with two-points (1g, 1a) and three ground balls at No. 9/9 Virginia, and followed it up with one goal and a season-high five ground balls against Brown. The midfielder was also named defensive player of the week on Feb. 27 after scoring three goals and collecting five ground balls in the team's season opening 11-9 win over Boston University.
Freshman Kelly Weis earned her first career Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week award on March 26 with 15 saves against just 12 goals in a 1-1 week for Harvard. She tallied eight saves in the team's 7-5 loss to Boston College on Wednesday, and then made seven stops in a 7-5 win at Yale on Saturday.
Sixth Sense
Junior Jennifer VanderMeulen tied her career-high with six goals on April 7 against Brown, marking the most goals scored by a Crimson student-athlete since senior Tyler Petropulos netted seven on March 7, 2009 versus Quinnipiac. VanderMeulen has scored six goals three times in her career, including twice as a freshman in 2010.
Drawing it Up
Sophomore Kyleigh Keating recorded a career-high six draw controls as Harvard out-drew Brown 17-9 on April 7. Keating's six draw controls marked the most for the team since Kaitlin Martin '09 tallied seven on March 25, 2009 at Albany.
Strength of Schedule
Harvard currently sits at 5-6 on the year, with all six of its losses coming against teams currently ranked in the IWLCA Coaches Poll. Harvard has already played eight teams which have been ranked in either the coaches poll or the deBeer Media Poll at some point this season, and will have played a total of 10 at season's end.
Getting Defensive
Harvard has held seven of its 11 opponents to under 10 goals this season, and held Yale and Stanford to five goals or less in back-to-back games for the first time since 2002. The Crimson entered the week ranked ninth in the NCAA having allowed just 8.8 goals per game, which would stand as the team's lowest goals against average since 2008 (the last year complete stats are available).
Between the Pipes
Freshman Kelly Weis has made all 11 starts in goal for the Crimson this season, and entered the week ranked eighth in the NCAA with an 8.53 goals against average. Her .451 save percentage was 23rd-best in the country while her 7.2 saves per game were good for 41st.
Weis made 10 saves while helping the Crimson to a 9-8 double-overtime victory over No. 13 James Madison on March 6, matching Kerry Clark's total of 10 saves against Virginia last season for the most stops by a Harvard goalie since Katherine Martino '10 recorded 12 in a 17-9 win over Boston College on May 5, 2010. Weis has made at least eight saves in five games this season.
Sharing the Wealth
11 different Crimson have scored a goal in 2012 with eight having scored at least four. Melanie Baskind, Danielle Tetreault and Jennifer VanderMeulen lead the way with 18 goals apiece, while Micaela Cyr has found the back of the net 15 times.
Harvard had 13 different goal scorers last season with VanderMeulen (48), Tetreault (42), Jess Halpern (29), Baskind (28), Tyler Petropulos (14) and Chelsea Newman (10) each scoring at least 10.
Two Way Players
Midfielders Melanie Baskind, Micaela Cyr and Danielle Tetreault have led the Crimson on both the offensive and defensive ends of the field in 2012. Baskind (18g, 6a) has posted a team-high 24 points and also leads the team with 27 ground balls. Tetreault's (18g, 4a) 22 points rank second on the squad while her 20 draw controls are tops. Cyr (15g, 1a) is the team's fourth-leading scorer at 16 points and has caused a team-best eight turnovers.
Getting Off on the Right Foot
Harvard held both Yale and Stanford scoreless in the first half and outscored the two 12-0 before the break. The Crimson is 5-1 this season when leading at the half, but 0-5 when trailing.
Four Score
Senior co-captain Melanie Baskind put together an impressive four-game stretch between March 24 and April 2, totaling 12 points (7g, 5a) while adding eight ground balls. Baskind scored multiple points in each of the four games, including a season-high five-point performance (3g, 2a) against then No. 2/2 Syracuse at Gillette Stadium.
Monumental Moment
Harvard competed in the first-ever women's collegiate sporting event held at Gillette Stadium, home of the three-time Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots, when it took to the field against then No. 2/2 Syracuse on March 31. The game was part of a women's lacrosse double-header, as No. 1/1 Northwestern and No. 14/16 Ohio State took to the field after the Crimson and Orange.
Former Crimson Named Finalists for National Lacrosse Hall of Fame
Harvard alumnae Sarah (Downing) Nelson '94 and Maggie Vaughan '90 are among the 12 finalists on the 2012 National Lacrosse Hall of Fame women's ballot. Vaughan helped Harvard to the program's first NCAA Championship in 1990 and was a four-time Ivy League champion, while Nelson was a two-time Ivy League champion and a three-time All-Ivy honoree. Click here to read the full story.
Nail Biters
Harvard played five games between March 6 and March 24 which were decided by a total of seven goals, with three of those games being decided by a one-goal margin. The Crimson has played in 15 one-goal games under head coach Lisa Miller and sports a 7-8 record.
Overtime Thrillers
The Crimson went to overtime against both No. 13 James Madison and No. 9/10 Penn, marking the first time in program history that Harvard has played in back-to-back overtime games. Harvard is 5-5 all-time in overtime games and has never gone to overtime more than twice in a season.
National Prominence
Harvard received votes in three of this year's first four IWLCA Coaches Polls, and opened the season ranked 19th in the deBeer Media Poll. The Crimson moved up to No. 16 in the media poll after its season-opening 11-9 win over Boston University, but has since fallen from the rankings.

Tewaaraton Award Watch List
Junior's Jennifer VanderMeulen and Danielle Tetreault were named to the 2012 Tewaaraton Award Watch List, which is comprised of the top 50 women's lacrosse student-athletes from all three divisions of collegiate lacrosse. VanderMeulen and Tetreault are the latest Crimson to be put up for the prestigious award, after current teammates Jess Halpern and Micaela Cyr were nominated in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
VanderMeulen is coming off a season in which she was named to the Synapse Sports All-America second team, IWLCA All-Region first team and All-Ivy League first team after ranking 18th in the NCAA in goals per game (3.0) and 30th in goals (48). She currently ranks 10th in program history with 104 career goals, while her 56 scores in 2010 rank fifth on Harvard's single-season list.
Tetreault was a first team all-region and second team all-Ivy selection a year ago, and ranked 31st in the nation with 2.63 goals per game. Tetreault boasts 62 career goals, 17 assists and 79 points in 31 career games.
Captaining the Ship
Seniors Melanie Baskind, Ellen Gleason and Tyler Petropulos were voted by their teammates as captains for the 2012 season. Baskind and Petropulos also served as captains last season, making them just the sixth and seventh student-athletes in program history to be voted captain in consecutive seasons. Carroll Clark '92 was the first to do so when she captained both the 1991 and 1992 squads, and was followed by Daphne Clark '97 (1996 & 1997), Ali Harper '01 (2000 & 2001), Lauren Bobzin '08 (2007 & 2008) and Sara Flood '10 (2009 & 2010). This is just the sixth time in program history three Crimson had been chosen to lead the team.
Two-Sport Star Baskind Featured by New England Lacrosse Journal
Senior Melanie Baskind, who captains both the women's lacrosse and women's soccer teams and is an All-Ivy League honoree in both sports, was recently featured by Sammi Gorman of the New England Lacrosse Journal.
"In the city of Boston — a breeding ground for both star athletes and top students at some of the world's best academic institutions — Melanie Baskind is different.
"She's not the only student with a 3.8 grade-point average as a neurobiology major at a top school like Harvard, and she's not the only athlete to get league Player of the Year honors in her sport. She is the only one to do those things and be a threat to earn those kind of honors in two sports."

Historical Perspective
Harvard captured the program's first national championship in 1990 when it defeated Maryland, 8-7. The Crimson won four games that season by a single goal en route to a 15-0 record, with Jenny Walser '90 scoring the game winner in three of those four games, including the national title contest.

Google in crosshairs over gun ban
WASHINGTON—Google has banned gun sales from its new shopping platform, a move drawing fire from hunters and weapons enthusiasts but praised by gun control activists.
Google made the change May 31 when it transformed its "product search," which had consisted of free listings, into "Google Shopping," which has paid listings and is governed by the tech giant's advertising policies.
In its shopping service, Google "doesn't allow the promotion of weapons or devices designed to cause serious harm or injury," the website said, describing its advertising policies.
The ban includes "guns, gun parts or hardware, ammunition, bombs, knives, throwing stars, and brass knuckles," it said.
Even though the policy was announced more than a month ago, it drew notice only in recent days after it was pointed out by a blog called Outdoor Hub, dedicated to "outdoor enthusiasts."
Blog contributor Edward Pierz said Google "censors" firearm searches, and linked to a petition to "Tell Google not to interfere with our 2nd amendment rights," a reference to the constitutional right to bear arms.
"If you wish to purchase a gun, you are required to do a background check and utilize an FFL (federal firearms license) holder to make the purchase regardless of whether you buy it online or through a gun shop," the petition says.
"The new policy will only effectively disable many law abiding citizens from acquiring legal weapons for legitimate purposes at reasonable prices, and hurt many many small business's income."
Other gun rights activists also poured criticism on the California tech giant.
A National Rifle Association statement said Google "has adopted a new and discriminatory policy with respect to the advertising of firearms, ammunition and related products."
"This appears to be a calculated political statement by Google at a time when most other large online retailers and search services are increasing the level of information they provide and the number of gun-related products they offer for sale," the NRA said.
"Fortunately, with so many other options available to consumers, Google's attempt to limit information about legal and constitutionally protected products will likely prove futile."
But Daniel Vice, senior attorney at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, welcomed the move.
"We applaud Google for acting to restrict sales of dangerous weapons that would frequently occur without background checks," Vice told AFP.
"The Internet is a notorious source of guns for killers.
Vice said one recent study by Mayors Against Illegal Guns showed 62 percent of online gun sellers were willing to sell weapons to people who could not pass a background check.
"It's so easy online to find guns and buy them without a background check, so Google's policy is more than reasonable," he said.
Bloggers in favor of gun rights were sharply critical, however.
On the Texas Bowhunter blog, one contributor wrote: "Google is shooting themselves in the foot (pun intended). I guess they won't mind the govt's attempt at censoring the Internet… 'in the interest of consumer safety.'"
A Google spokeswoman declined to comment on the reasons for the policy. She said guns may show up on "an organic search" but not in shopping searches.
But the Shopping policies point out that Google "has a strong culture and values, and we've chosen not to allow ads that promote products and services that are incompatible with these values."
Matt McGee of the tech blog Search Engine Land said the change "certainly seems to be within Google's rights."
But he added it "seems like a slippery slope to use vague terms like 'culture and values' to determine who can and can't list products in Shopping Search — a slope that's likely to open Google up to further criticism if it continues to apply that principle to other industries."

DWTS 16 Cast: Sean Lowe – In or Out?
You guys were probably just as shocked as I was to hear this morning that we were only going to have 11 couples on this season…after hearing 12 couples for quite awhile. Also shocking to not hear Sean Lowe's name called as one of the celebs, as he was a name we were hearing quite a bit, and shocking to not hear Peta's name as a pro, considering that she had been confirmed by @DWTSGossip as being part of this season…and DWTSGossip seemed just as shocked as we were.
So what happened? We're not sure – some are guessing that the deal fell through at the last minute, others are surmising that Sean IS part of the cast, but they are going to wait to reveal him until after The Bachelor finale. In the absence of anything official, we can only speculate. Reality Steve, who has a pretty damn good track record of predicting Bachelor-related stuff, assures us that Sean IS part of the cast:
ETA1: Reality Steve goes into more detail in his most recent Bachelor blog – and I daresay, someone with a spoiler history as credible as his would not just be making claims like this willy-nilly. I'm starting to believe that we may get a "surprise" 12th couple sometime in the next few weeks…
ETA2: In her OTRC interview, Lisa comments on how it's "an honor to be one of the 12 chosen" to be on the show. There were only 11 celebs announced this morning 🙂 Thanks to Grant for the heads-up on this one!
ETA3: Peta tweets that she has a "big day today!" and that it's "time to play" – which makes me wonder if she's either a) meeting Sean for the first time, or b) starting to rehearse with Sean. And OMG! Insider (totally dumb name for a show, BTW) jumps on the "mystery 12th contestant" bandwagon in a video that Vogue just posted. Now I'm really starting to believe that Sean's the 12th contestant, and that ABC maybe just can't mention it outright for contractual reasons…but they are hinting at it in a not-so-subtle way.
ETA4: @KrissmissHampton was in the live audience at the announcement yesterday and was kind enough to tweet me and tell me that, after the cameras stopped rolling, they were told that "a 12th couple would be announced at a later date". Thanks Kristina! 😀 I'm wondering if they were initially going to announce it on the air, but ran out of time…things seemed to get a little rushed at the end. Heidi also dug up some more evidence confirming the "12th couple" theory, courtesy of US Magazine. So there is, indeed, a 12th couple – but is it safe to assume that it's Sean & Peta?
I'm inclined to believe Reality Steve, but at the same time, if ABC had a 12th couple up their sleeve, I would think they would at least tease it during the announcement this morning: "Stay tuned in the coming days, because there is still a surprise 12th couple, yet to be revealed!" Peta has not said a word on Twitter this morning, nor has Sean (although I doubt he would), and neither one is following each other – could be a precaution so as not to reveal anything, could be that they really aren't on the show. What do you guys think?
In the meantime, we will keep our eyes peeled and update this post with anything official we hear. Random…anyone else think Sean kinda looks like Macklemore?
I'm gonna pop some tags…

Wearing a Steelers jersey gives you a sense of pride, which makes buying a new jersey as exciting for fans as watching Big Ben throw another TD pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster, or James Conner. When you're at Heinz Field wearing the black home jersey, white away jersey, color rush or the throwback jersey you will fit right in as you wave the terrible towel and cheer for the black and gold. If you are a die-hard Steelers fan, then you'll want an official Steelers jersey to last you for many seasons, and the official Nike Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys will hold up through all the tailgates and game day fun. Another great option is the official jersey of historic Steelers players from renowned vintage jersey brand Mitchell & Ness.

Vice President Joe Biden hit the late night comedy circuit Thursday with a stop at David Letterman's "Late Show," where he gave voters the Top 10 reasons to head to the polls ahead of Election Day.
In the weeks leading up to the election, President Barack Obama and Biden have encouraged voters to head to the polling stations early to help the Democrats win some of the key battleground states.
The last time Biden helped the late night host with his Top 10 list was in May 2007, when was one of 10 senators reading the list. This time around Biden appeared solo, making his case for early voting and warning Letterman, "Dave, I hope to hell you voted."
From less crowded polling centers to the promise of a $5 million donation from Donald Trump, here are Vice President Biden's "Top 10 Reasons to Vote Early."
10. I'm not saying each early voter gets a free cheeseburger, but I'm not saying they don't either.
9. It's vastly more effective than voting late.
8. You know who votes early? People with a backbone like a ramrod.
7. In a less crowded polling place, there's plenty of room to stretch out, linger and relax.
6. If you vote early, you don't have to pay taxes. Errr, I'm sorry, I'm being told that's not accurate.
5. Single and looking to mingle? Find that special someone on the early voting line.
4. Of course, there's the open bar!
3. Not exercising your right to vote is malarkey. It's literally malarkey.
2. Early voters will receive a $5 million donation from Donald Trump.
1. Honestly, don't you want this election over with already?

Regions and the Class System
In short, two pieces of data are in different regions if they are never substituted for each other. This property, or lack thereof, is sometimes called aliasing.
In the "extended" version of a type, data type constructors have a region annotation as their first argument, which indicates what region they're in. Due to type elaboration, we usually don't see the region annotations, but we can write them in signatures if we want to:
succ :: forall %r1 %r2. Int %r1 -> Int %r2 succ x = x + 1 sameInt :: forall %r1. Int %r1 -> Int %r1 sameInt x = x pi :: Float %r1 pi = 3.1415926535
Region variables can be quantified with forall just like type variables. If a region variable in the return type of a function is quantified it means the region is fresh, ie the data was allocated by the function itself.
Notice that in the type of succ, both %r1 and %r2 are quantified, this means that succ accepts data from any region and returns a freshly allocated Int.
sameInt just passes its data though, so the same region is on both argument and return types.
pi is just static Float and not a function that does allocation, so it doesn't have a forall.
Region classes
In Haskell we use type classes on type variables to restrict how these variables can be instantiated. For example, we can write:
(==) :: forall a. Eq a => a -> a -> Bool
Here, the Eq a context restricts forall a to just the types that support equality.
In Disciple, we can do a similar thing with regions:
csucc :: forall %r1 %r2 . Int %r1 -> Int %r2 :- Const %r1
The region class constraint Const %r1 restricts csucc so that it only accepts arguments that are constant. Data in Const regions is guaranteed by the type system never to be destructively updated. In Disciple we write the class constraints at the end of the type for clarity, though there is a plan to allow the standard Haskell syntax as well.
The opposite of Const is Mutable and we can explicitly define data values to have this property.
counter :: Int %r1 :- Mutable %r1 counter = 0
Any Int that is passed to csucc is required to be Const. If you try and pass a Mutable Int instead it will be caught by the type system.
main () = putStr $ show $ succ counter
./Main.ds:... Conflicting region constraints. constraint: Base.Mutable %1 from the use of: counter at: ./Main.ds:... conflicts with, constraint: Base.Const %2 from the use of: succ at: ./Main.ds:...
Effect purification
Besides manually added annotations, the main source of Const constraints in a Disciple program is the use of laziness. Remember from EvaluationOrder that the suspension operator (@) maps onto a set of primitive suspend functions.
If we wanted a lazy version of succ that only incremented its argument when the result was demanded, then we could write it like this:
lazySucc x = (+) @ x 1
this is desugared to:
lazySucc x = suspend2 (+) x 1
where suspend2 has the following extended type:
suspend2 :: forall a b c !e1 !e2 . (a -(!e1)> b -(!e2)> c) -> a -> b -> c , Pure !e1 , Pure !e2
Now the addition function (+) for Int has this extended type:
(+) :: forall %r1 %r2 %r3 !e1 . Int %r1 -> Int %r2 -(!e1)> Int %r3 :- !e1 = !{ !Read %r1; !Read %r2 }
Which says it reads the two arguments and returns a freshly allocated Int
When we pass (+) as the first argument of suspend2 the type system encounters the effect class constraint Pure !{!Read %r1; !Read %r2;}. This is then satisfied by constraining %r1 and %r2 to be Const. If a value is in a Const region then it is guaranteed never to be destructively updated. This means that it doesn't matter when we read it, so the operation is pure.
To say this another way, when a function application is suspended the type system purifies its visible Read effects by requiring the data being read to be Const.

Drivers aren't allowed to be characters - Ecclestone
- Drivers:
- Bernie Ecclestone
Bernie Ecclestone believes F1 drivers are no longer given the freedom to express their true character, adding that the furore over Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen swearing on the podium in Abu Dhabi was blown out of proportion.
Ecclestone recently told the German press that he felt the current generation of drivers - including triple world champion Vettel - lacked the character of F1's past heroes. But in an interview with Formula One's official website he clarified those remarks.
"Today Sebastian is the yardstick," he said. "Times are simply different today and that doesn't only go for drivers. The whole environment is different. We have many more dos and don'ts than back in the old days.
"Remember when Sebastian swore on the podium? He immediately got into trouble. If that had been James Hunt or Graham Hill, they wouldn't have cared - and nobody else would have cared. Look at the television culture today - the f-word has become part of normal conversation. I don't think that Sebastian's spontaneous expression was a big deal for a lot of people - just for a few people. Complete nonsense!
"So if you ask what the real difference is between past drivers and today's drivers, it's that they were characters before and they're not allowed to be characters now."
But Ecclestone believes Vettel's charisma will grow with his confidence over the coming years.
"He will be alright. He will grow into this. He is now super confident - because a large part of charisma is self-esteem and not ego as some might think. I say watch him next year."

Powerfully distinctive design, impressive dimensions – the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC follows only one style: its own. Front apron in A-wing design with large cooling air inlets. Flics for improved aerodynamics. Radiator grille with black-painted louvres and an AMG logo in silver chrome. Complemented by wheel arches extended by 44 mm for an even broader stance. Styling elements that underline the GLS's positioning within the high-performance SUV range of AMG – making it the S-Class among the SUVs.
Once you're inside the car, your original destination becomes irrelevant. The 3-spoke AMG Performance steering wheel in leather with aluminium gearshift paddles, the spacious interior is soothing to all the senses. The Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 4MATIC does not only impress by sheer force of size; it is also one of the safest and most comfortable performance vehicles, and thanks to seven full-size seats, for several people all at once. The most popular of its seven seats is always the same one: the perfectly moulded nappa leather sports seat behind the steering wheel.
Making every day special: one of the most powerful standard-production SUV models from AMG. The peak performance of the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo is impressive, at 430 kW (585 hp) and 760 Nm. DYNAMIC SELECT allows the driving characteristics to be set to any one of five stages, ranging from efficiently comfortable to sporty. And whichever mode you're in, putting your foot down on the accelerator will take you to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. At the same time the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC transmission keeps shift times short and traction continuous, as the everyday routine recedes rapidly in your rearview mirror.
Keeping a step ahead, even in the darkness. The Intelligent Light System automatically adjusts the LED headlamps in such a way that the route ahead is always optimally illuminated – whatever the weather and driving conditions, even in bends or when turning off. Because those who prefer to go their own way still need to feel where the journey's taking them.
On the motorway, in fast bends or off road – the AMG Performance 4MATIC systems makes the most of any terrain. Permanent all-wheel drive distributes the power between the front and rear axles on a 40 : 60 basis, while the ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM uses active suspension stabilisers to reduce roll. All of which adds up to guarantee assured and predictable driving characteristics with added traction, directional stability and increased agility around the vehicle's vertical axis. But what you make of all that is, of course, completely up to you.

There is currently a drug (let's call it Trepiac) on the market for a particular neurological disease. Trepiac is given once a day, is very expensive, and is of only mild benefit at best. But it's a big seller because there ain't much else out there.
Trepiac is going generic in a few years. So what is it's parent company doing? Inventing a new drug to help cure this horrible disease? F--K NO! The meeting was to consider marketing concepts for Trepiac-XR, a NEW, ONCE DAILY form of Trepiac, which is already taken once a day as is!
Sound stupid? I think so too. And this is where research dollars are being spent.

Ten Second Review
The second generation version of Vauxhall's Insignia gains 'Grand Sport' badging in five-door hatch form, along with smart looks, a classy cabin, hi-tech features and an efficient engine range. If, like many business buyers, you're browsing in the £20,000 to £35,000 bracket selecting a medium range Mondeo segment model or a mid-sized executive contender, it's a contender that you really can't afford to overlook.
If you perceive Vauxhall's Insignia as a middle management mainstream company car, then the brand reckons it's time you had a re-think. The second generation version of this model features sleek looks and a 'Grand Sport' name for the five-door hatch bodystyle. It's much lighter and more sophisticated than its predecessor, with a more spacious cabin, plus there's an optional slick-shifting 8-speed auto gearbox and a clever 4WD system at the top of the range. Think of a feature you can get in a pricey compact German premium brand - LED matrix lighting, Lane Keep Assist, Head-up Display, cutting-edge media connectivity. All of it's on offer here, plus use of Vauxhall's brilliant OnStar concierge system. It's a strong package.
Driving Experience
On the move, this Insignia feels like the bigger car it's now become, the suspension floating you over broken surfaces that would have troubled and impeded the previous model. Importantly, this second generation model is 175kg lighter than its predecessor and that really shows when cornering at speed, where there's less body roll than before and generally, a much higher level of agility. As for engines, well most buyers will continue to want a diesel, with the majority of sales likely to go to the 1.6-litre Turbo D unit we tried, offered with either 110 or 136PS. If you trade up to the 170PS 2.0-litre diesel, efficiency drops off markedly, though there's the compensation of 400Nm of pulling power, a figure that will be improved further if you go for the 210PS biturbo variant. Engine-wise, you'll find much more that's really different if you turn your attention to petrol power, with all three units on offer being pretty new. Small capacity turbocharged engines that use unleaded are very much in vogue at present and the 1.5-litre unit supplied here should suit that trend, offered with either 140 or 165PS. There's also a 200PS 1.6-litre Direct Injection turbo petrol unit. Key Insignia features include a super-slick 8-speed auto gearbox. And the top 210PS diesel variant comes with a sophisticated intelligent all-wheel drive system that uses a state-of-the-art rear torque vectoring system for greater cornering traction and sharper turn-in.
Design and Build
Vauxhall believes that this Insignia has 'the aura of a car from the premium, upper class'; you decide. The brand reckons that this improved model looks smarter - thanks to the adoption of piercing Intellilux LED headlights. And the company's stylists believe the car also looks lower and wider than it previously did, thanks to the position of the air inlets with their integrated fog lamps. As before, there's the choice of either hatch or Sports Tourer estate body styles. The prominent grille and those slim-line headlamps enhance the wide horizontal design of the front end and provide it with a bold appearance. Inside, the cabin now feels a little plusher than it did before, thanks to the addition of precisely placed chrome accents. As previously, the driver sits quite low and is surrounded by clean lines, pleasant surfaces and impressive build quality, a highlight being the frameless touchscreen of the IntelliLink infotainment system. Cabin width in the rear remains a strong Insignia selling point - as you'd expect it might be given that this car is wider than supposedly much bigger 'E-segment' models like BMW's 5 Series or Mercedes' E-Class. Unfortunately, mitigating against that is the height of the centre transmission tunnel and the fact that the rear bench has been sculpted so that any middle occupant must position themselves on an uncomfortably-raised section of foam. The hatch model does though, boast a roomy 490-litre boot. If you need more space, the 'Sports Tourer' estate bodystyle will appeal, that variant offering a 560-litre boot extendable to 1,665-litres.
Market and Model
Insignia buyers choose between a five-door Grand Sport hatch model or the Sports Tourer estate variant. There are seven trim levels available - 'Design', 'Design Nav', 'SRi', 'SRi Nav', 'SRi VX-line Nav', 'Tech Line Nav', 'Elite Nav' and 'Gsi'. The asking figures start at around £20,000 and range to around £38,500, pricing that offers extremely strong competition to the German premium-badged compact executive models that Vauxhall would ideally like to target. There's plenty of clever equipment features that should interest that target market. The 'IntelliLux LED matrix light' for example, which illuminates with 32 LED segments and integrates in this Insignia's smarter, slimmer headlamps. Other driver assistance systems include a Head-up-Display, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Vauxhall is still one of the few manufacturers to offer seats certified the 'Campaign for Healthy Backs'. And, as for media connectivity, well, as you would expect, the IntelliLink infotainment system is compatible with the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Insignia Grand Sport buyers also get Vauxhall OnStar, the brand's the ground-breaking connectivity and service assistant. This offers services ranging from Automatic Crash Response to Stolen Vehicle Assistance. A new concierge service is available to Insignia Grand Sport customers, enabling passengers to ask OnStar advisors to select a hotel and proceed to room reservation. Furthermore, up to seven devices can be connected to the car's Wi-Fi Hotspot.
Cost of Ownership
Around 85% of Insignia buyers go for a diesel - and you can see why. Up to 55.5mpg on the combined WLTP cycle is possible from the 1.6 CDTi unit most Grand Sport buyers will choose. As for residual values, well these will depend on whether the industry recognises this Grand Sport model's shift up-market. Even if it does, the depreciation levels won't match those of premium German rivals. But then, you'll be paying less up-front in the first place, so it's swings and roundabouts. The NEDC-rated CO2 figures are very competitive, the base 110PS 1.6-litre diesel capable of putting out as little as 121g/km. The volume 2.0-litre diesel manages 145g/km. The base 1.5-litre petrol variant manages 131g/km. The 1.6 petrol turbo manages up to 38.7mpg (WLTP combined) with NEDC-rated CO2 emissions of 154g/km. You'll also need to know that Vauxhall includes a three-year, 60,000 mile warranty as standard, a package that can be extended up to five years and 100,000 miles at extra cost. A year's free breakdown cover is also provided, along with a six-year anti-corrosion guarantee. Plus you can opt for a service plan that lets you pay monthly to spread the cost of regular work to your car. As part of this, Vauxhall offers discounts on wear and tear items, such as brake pads and windscreen wipers.

The couple reportedly had no prenuptial agreement. Today, someone saw the error of the other's ways, and the Bryants are reconciling before the divorce goes through. Vanessa said so.
