The Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) � The Civil War Trust has teamed up with the state to complete a $3.2 million campaign protecting 285 acres at Gaines� Mill, where Gen. Robert E. Lee had his first major victory as commander of the Army of Northern Virginia.
The preservation greatly expands the number of protected acres at Gaines� Mill, the bloodiest chapter in the Seven Days� Battles, making it a �monumental achievement� in the trust's history, president James Lighthizer said.
�Prior to this, only 65 acres of this crucial battlefield had been protected,� he said in a statement prepared for the formal announcement. �With just one purchase, we have more than quintupled the amount of land at Gaines� Mill preserved forever.�
The entire 285 acres are within the boundary of the Richmond National Battlefield Park, so the trust will turn over the property to the National Park Service for long-term stewardship and interpretation for visitors.
The preservation was completed with a $1.5 million transportation enhancement matching grant from the state. The property's historic significance and the looming prospect of development made it an ideal candidate for the funding, said Sean T. Connaughton, Virginia's secretary of transportation.
�The commonwealth of Virginia is committed to making the permanent protection of historic and scenic landscapes like this one an important part of the sesquicentennial commemoration of the Civil War,� Connaughton said in a statement.
Gaines� Mill is full of history � from Lee's powerful assault against Union lines just outside the capital of the Confederacy to the use of observation balloons by both sides, a first.
The battle was fought on June 27, 1862, and was the second of the Seven Days� Battles in which the Confederates sought to blunt federal forces that moved up the Virginia Peninsula with their sights set on Richmond.
Historians believe Lee unleashed upwards of 32,000 men in 16 brigades, far overshadowing the 12,500-man Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg. The 15,500 casualties made it the second bloodiest battle of the war to that point, topped only by Shiloh, Tenn., 2� months earlier.
In its 1993 study, the Civil War sites Advisory Commission rated Gaines� Mill a Priority I, Class A designation. That made it one of the 11 top candidates for preservation in the U.S.
A group of prominent Richmond residents purchased 60 acres of the battlefield nearly a century ago. The land was donated to the state and ultimately the National Park Service. The trust's campaign to raise $3.2 million for the 285 acres was launched in 2011.
�The inclusion of this truly historical land will be a tremendous boon the park,� Superintendent Dave Ruth said. �For the first time, visitors will be able to retrace the dramatic Confederate Charge of June 27, 1862 � by many accounts, Robert E. Lee's largest assault of the war.�
The Civil War Trust is the largest nonprofit battlefield preservation organization in the nation. It has preserved more than 34,000 acres of battlefield in 20 states, more than half of that in Virginia.

(BPT) – Americans have come a long way in their acceptance of marijuana. Long gone are the days of "Reefer Madness," the infamous 1936 movie that depicted a couple falling into addiction and ultimately – madness. Today, 58 percent of Americans favor the legalizing of pot for recreational use, according to an October 2013 Gallup poll.
Fueling the momentum to legalize marijuana for recreational use are the recent new laws in Colorado and Washington, which legalized recreational marijuana use in those states.
Including Colorado and Washington, 13 states have proposed or enacted legislation on the recreational use of marijuana, according to WestlawNext, the nation's leading online legal research service. In addition, 24 states have legalized medical marijuana, which is widely accepted for treating a range of diseases, such as epilepsy, and to reduce the side effects of other medical treatments, such as chemotherapy.
Michael Carlson, a reference attorney with Thomson Reuters, notes that proposing a law to legalize pot for recreational use isn't as simple as it might sound.
"Legislators have to contend with many facets of this issue, ranging from taxation to regulating who can grow marijuana, how it will be harvested and processed, and how marijuana can be legally distributed and sold," said Carlson.
A key step toward acceptance of recreational marijuana use is the decriminalization of persons caught in possession of marijuana. Since 1973, 15 states have enacted legislation that decriminalizes possession of small amounts of marijuana according to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). On July 1, 2013, Vermont became the most recent state to decriminalize marijuana, and in late August, the U.S. Department of Justice, in a memorandum to all United States Attorneys, said it would not challenge state laws on recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington based on the expectation that those states will "implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems," which includes keeping marijuana from minors and out of the hands of gangs.
If the new laws in Colorado and the state of Washington serve as a precedent as to how other states may approach the legalization of marijuana, here's what U.S. residents can expect, according to WestlawNext:
* The first recreational marijuana retailers will open on Jan. 1, 2014, in Colorado. A specific date has not been set in Washington. The number of retailers in Washington will be capped at 344, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
* Twenty-one is the recommended age for recreational marijuana use.
* In Washington, adults, 21 years of age and older can purchase, in a single transaction, one ounce of usable marijuana, 16 ounces of marijuana-infused product in solid form, and 72 ounces of marijuana-infused product in liquid form.
* In Colorado, adults, 21 or older, can possess up to one ounce of marijuana and six marijuana plants. You do not have to be a resident of Colorado or Washington to purchase and use marijuana while visiting those states. It will be illegal to grow your own pot in Washington.
* Open and public smoking of marijuana in Colorado will still be illegal, as it will be in Washington.
* An adult, 21 years or older, can legally give up to one ounce of marijuana to another adult, 21 years or older in Colorado. In Washington, that will be illegal.
* Both states will impose taxes on the production of marijuana at three stages: when it is sold by the grower to the processor, the processor to the retailer, and the retailer to the consumer. Washington is planning to impose a tax of 25 percent, and Colorado is looking at a 15 percent excise tax and 10 percent sales tax.
* Both states are aiming at a pre-tax price of $12 a gram to ensure that marijuana is competitive with what can be purchased illegally from a non-regulated dealer on the street, according to a Time magazine report.
* Processors and retailers will be required to test and label the potency of the marijuana products to be offered through retail outlets, detailing the concentration of active compounds, such as THC.
* Both states will have strict laws about advertising and packaging in order to limit exposure to minors.
"The tipping point to end the prohibition on marijuana may be coming sooner than most realize," said Sam Kamin, Thomson Reuters author and professor at the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law. "The groups that have been working for years to legalize marijuana will be taking the issue to more and more states in 2014 and beyond."

Sine Qua Non ("Without which, nothing.")
When asked, attorneys and judges will say that the most important skill a new lawyer can have is to be able to write well. To achieve excellent writing, a lawyer must first be proficient in legal research and ,second, accurately evaluate and analyze the sources applicable to the client's issues. The University of Houston Law Center recognizes the legal community demands these skills of its graduates. Therefore, we emphasize the development of Lawyering Skills and Strategies skills in the first year curriculum, in a two-semester, four-hour required course.
Lawyering Skills and Strategies at the University of Houston is taught to full-time and part-time students by eight full-time and one part-time Clinical Professors of Lawyering Skills and Strategies. Each of these faculty members has extensive legal experience and brings that knowledge into the classroom.
In the fall semester, Legal Research, Analysis, and Predictive Writing students focus on learning basic legal research and legal analysis, with emphasis on synthesis of cases to derive rules, interaction between statutes and cases, and application of the law to particular fact situations. Students first synthesize case law that is provided to them, apply the derived rules of law to a given fact situation, and present the analysis in a written discussion as the major section of an office memorandum. Students then repeat the synthesis and analysis process in a complete memorandum, but they first must research the law independently to find law applicable to the issues presented.
In the spring semester, Legal Research and Advocacy, the writing focus is on persuasive and reflective writing, and students broaden their research skills. Written advocacy, consisting of persuasive writing and related research, is taught in the context of students' writing a motion for summary judgment and then an appellate brief. Oral advocacy is taught in the classes and by students' participating in the first-year John Black Moot Court Competition. Reflective writing and related research, which is writing that reflects clients' wishes, e.g., contracts and company policies, are taught in the context of students' preparing an employment contract or similar document. In the spring students also are introduced to the basics of scholarly writing to help prepare them for working on one of the six law journals on campus.

If you need a reminder on how beautiful nature can be, look no further than these stunning images taken near Rocky Cape National Park in Tasmania.
The waters of Preservation Bay were lit up by bioluminescent algae over the past few days, coloring waves an electric blue.
The bioluminescence event is caused by single-celled algae or plant plankton called Noctiluca scintillans. These algae glow bright blue during the night when disturbed by waves or currents, according to National Geographic.

NC fisherman drowns after falling from boat
NC fisherman drowns after falling from boat
A fisherman has drowned after falling from his boat in a canal in Whiteville in Columbus County.
The Fayetteville Observer reports it happened Monday beneath the U.S. 74-76 bridge.
Columbus County Assistant Coroner William Hannah says 70-year-old Paul Formyduval of Castle Hayne was fishing with his wife at the time.
Authorities say the couple saw a nest of birds beneath the bridge and the victim stood up to look at the birds. When he did, the boat overturned.
Neither was wearing a lifejacket. But the victim's wife was able to grab one as she was thrown from the boat and make it back to shore.

We've been waiting — and we must say, we're very impressed.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel enjoyed a late lunch at Brentwood eatery Tavern Thursday, with Biel casually sporting a standout accessory: her engagement ring!
The newly engaged pair — joined by another couple and their toddler — was all smiles in the center of the restaurant's atrium room. Timberlake, 31, looked handsome in a blue-and-white checkered short-sleeved shirt and newsboy cap, and Biel, 30, was gorgeous in an aqua dress, cream blazer, little makeup and her hair in a high ponytail.
Biel's ring — which she's rarely flashed in public since her and Timberlake's engagement was announced in January — features a large, slightly rounded square-cut diamond with smaller stones surrounding it, and appears to have a vintage feel.
An onlooker tells PEOPLE that during the meal, Timberlake and Biel sat side by side, noshed on sandwiches and were very sweet with each other, as well as with their friends' child — and that the actress "could not have looked happier." Tell us: What do you think of Biel's engagement ring?

Before we jump on sanitation band wagon: What temp are you pitching the yeast? What temp are you fermenting at? It could be an infection but high fermentation temps can also render many off flavors. Also, what yeast are you using? Some yeasts are sulphur producers, especially when not handled right, and that can smell like sewage.I don't usually trust new brewer's when it comes to properly identifying off aromas, but woman usually have a better sense of smell than men. Sewage sounds like sulfur to me.
Yeast was Danstar Nottingham.

NORMAL, Ala. -- Senior right-hander Jared Dobbs and the rest of the Golden Eagle bullpen held the Bulldogs of Alabama A&M to just six hits while the Golden Eagle line-up amassed 12 runs on 12 hits and 12 walks to blank the Bulldogs, 12-0.
The Golden Eagles dominated through the first third and final third of the game, building to a 5-0 lead in three innings and tacking on seven more runs over the seventh, eighth and ninth. They were led at the plate by junior Chad Hayes with a 3-for-5 effort and sophomore Evan Frazier, who went 2-for-5 with 4 RBI. Six other Golden Eagles combined for the remaining seven hits of the game, with Michael Morris and Austin Wulf joining Frazier and Hayes in the multi-hit category with 2-for-4 showings in the batter's box.
After logging their first RBI on a walk in the first inning, the Golden Eagles put up three more in the second, two of which were walked in again, and one on a single by Zach Stephens. They took their 5-0 lead on a passed ball that scored Chad Hayes after a triple.
A&M kept the Golden Eagles at bay over the next three innings, but gave up a sacrifice fly RBI to Oberacker in the seventh, two RBI singles in the eighth to Morris and Wulf, and with two outs in the ninth, four runs on two hits and three errors to give Tech their final 12-0 lead on the game.
Alabama A&M was fueled offensively by Lama Bridges and Sanch Tucker with 2-for-3 and 2-for-4 efforts respectively, while James Brown gaver the Bulldogs their only other hit of the game.
Dobbs earned the start on the day and pitched through four, allowing just two hits and striking out three to get his first win of the 2011 season and improve to 1-0. Deon Hall was pegged with the loss for A&M, surrendering founr runs on two hits and six walks in just 1.1 innings of work on the mound.
Tech will return to Cookeville this weekend to host their second conference series of the 2011 season against the Redhawks of Southeast Missouri, starting with a double-header event on Saturday. The firs pitch of game one is slated for 1 p.m.

The latest rumor circling the fabled 7-inch Nexus tablet claims that ASUS will soon be ramping up production of the tablet and will ship roughly 600,000 units of the device in June in time for a July release. According to the report, the Nexus tablet is expected to sell between two and two and a half million units between July and the end of the year.
Originally, the Google Nexus tablet was expected to launch in May, but the tablet launch was postponed to make changes to the design and find way to reduce hardware costs even further.
While there have been plenty of Nexus tablet leaks over the past months, Google has never officially acknowledged that they are working with ASUS on developing a tablet. Our assumption is that Google will keep things under wraps as best they can before officially unveiling the device during Google I/O in late June.
Originally, the Nexus tablet was rumored to be based off of the $249 ASUS MeMo 370T which was shown off at CES, but more recent reports indicate that Google may want to reduce the price even further by not including a quad-core processor, though we now expect that the Nexus tablet will likely ship with NVIDIA's quad-core Kai platform.
We may not know exactly what Google has planned for its budget friendly Nexus tablet, but we're sure that it will force Samsung, Sony, Asus, Acer, Motorla and other OEMs to produce basic tablets which will directly compete with the likes of the Amazon Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet.
How many of you already own an Android powered tablet? How much would you be willing to pay for a decently spec'd 7-inch Nexus tablet?

What stuff do you believe in even though you dont have evidence and are atheist? I believe in aliens and some sort of afterlife. I also believe theres a 4th density that has different laws of physics. The 4th density im talking about is not about time. I believe theres alot of stuff the universe can do that would seem supernatural. I believe in magic and supernatural like powers that humans arent capable of.

John D,
You believe Oswald was the only shooter?
So can I assume you believe the magic-bullet theory?
Can't help but find it interesting that someone who doesn't believe in magic believes in a theory dependent upon a magic bullet! ;)

It happens every fall when the Arkansas elk hunt approaches. Someone, many someones to be precise, ask, "Where do I get one of those elk hunting permits"?
The quick answer is you apply during the month of May. That is now for the October 2013 hunts.
The applications and the permits are free, making this one of the top bargains anywhere in the field of hunting. There is a catch, of course, Your name has to be drawn from several thousand applications.
The odds have improved a little for elk permit seekers in that the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission now requires a current valid hunting license for people to apply. Make that a Sportsman License or a lifetime license, the AGFC now says. The basic $10.50 resident hunting license is not accepted.
Yes, hunting licenses expire June 30 each year, so a winner of an elk permit will have to buy a new $25 Sportsman License to go after elk in October.
What this change in the application rules has done is to eliminate the non-hunters and other casuals who apply for elk permits just for the heck of it. A few years back, a woman in Florida was drawn for an Arkansas elk permit. A phone call to her brought the reply, "Oh, I do not hunt. I applied for that permit just because it was free."
Elk permits for public land hunting are for Arkansas residents only. Her non-resident status slipped past a human check of applicants. Now this checking is done by computer.
The drawing for the permits is done the old-fashioned way – in public from a squirrel cage holding all the applicants on Jasper's Courthouse Square during the Buffalo River Elk Festival on Saturday, June 29. It is not a random computer drawing, the technique commonly used today but mistrusted by skeptics.
OK, these elk permits are free. All you need is your name to be drawn on June 29. There is something else needed although not officially required. AGFC suggests, but does not require, advance scouting. That means go up to the Buffalo River country and look around where you will be hunting.
It is not a walk in the park.
The notion persists among many Arkansas people that hunting elk means driving up to one, stepping out of the vehicle and shooting the big animals. This misconception comes in part from the popular "tourist" elk in Boxley Valley that are often close to the highway.
Boxley Valley is closed to hunting. Where the other elk are is rugged mountain country. This is the reason for the advance scouting suggestion that probably should be a requirement.
In spite of letters and instructions from the AGFC, a few of the two dozen-plus permit winners show up each year for the hunt with no preparation, no scouting and some without helpers. One person may be the hunter, but it takes two and preferably more to (1) find elk and (2) to deal with the animal after it is shot.
Applicants must be at least 6 years old to hunt big game in the state — elk, deer, bear and turkey. For the elk permits, a person under 18 must have a hunter education certificate to apply.
All applications must be made online on the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's website, http://www.agfc.com/licenses/Pages/PermitsSpecialElk.aspx.
One additional permit for the 2013 hunt is issued to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation for fundraising purposes. Eighty-five percent of the proceeds from this granted permit is returned to Arkansas for wildlife habitat work. In addition, a youth permit is given the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation for fundraising activities.
Three permits will be issued to Arkansas residents who complete applications during the Buffalo River Elk Festival at Jasper in late June. For these, the winners must be present.
Two hunts, five days each, are scheduled this year - Oct. 7-11 and Oct. 28-Nov. 1.

We'd expect Michael Phelps to inspire a whole new generation of swimmers. However, it looks like he's inspiring a whole new line of headphones as well.
If you watched any of the summer Olympics, you probably watched swimming. And if you watched swimming, you probably noticed that Phelps likes to rock out before he competes. Someone at Sol Republic certainly noticed — and now they've snapped up the world's most famous swimmer for a new line of Tracks HD Anthem headphones.
The product features a new red, white and blue design, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Michael Phelps Foundation.
Other features include interchangeable pieces that work with the entire Tracks Remix system, with nearly indestructible FlexTech Sound Track headbands and interchangeable color cables with a remote and microphone. This model also has the V10 HD Sound Engine, which boasts deeper bass, higher clarity and crisp vocals.
"Swimming is my sport, but music is my life. Before every race, there are songs that motivate me to train hard, swim fast and win. These songs are my soundtrack of life," said Phelps. "I celebrate music because it not only motivated me to swim faster, but because it plays a role in every part of my life. Sol Republic is built on the philosophy that songs and music help shape our lives and we share a passion for music and how great sound can inspire anyone to victory."
Sol Republic is selling Tracks HD Anthem headphones now, with an MSRP of $149.99.

About Copper Fox
Copper Fox is a Canadian-based resource development company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V:CUU) with a corporate office in Calgary and an operations office in Vancouver and is involved in the exploration and development of the Schaft Creek copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposit located in northwest British Columbia, Canada.
The Company is working on completing a Feasibility Study on the Schaft Creek mineral deposit, one of the largest undeveloped copper, gold, molybdenum and silver deposits in North America. The Feasibility Study is being led by Tetra Tech Wardrop on a minimum 120,000 tpd open pit mine .
Copper Fox holds title and a 100% working interest in the Schaft Creek project consisting of 55,779.56 hectares (137,834 acres). Included in this total are the "Schedule A" mineral tenures originally conveyed to Copper Fox pursuant to the option agreement dated January 1, 2002 between Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") and Copper Fox (the "Teck Option Agreement"), which consist of 8,334.34 hectares (20,594 acres). The "Schedule A" mineral tenures are subject to a 3.5% Net Profits Interest held by Royal Gold, Inc., a 30% carried Net Proceeds Interest held by Liard Copper Mines Limited ("Liard") and, together with the additional mineral tenures obtained by Copper Fox within the "Area of Interest" provided for in the Teck Option Agreement, an earn back option held by Teck. On completion of the Feasibility Study, Copper Fox will earn Teck's 78% interest in Liard. Teck's earn back option to acquire either, 20%, 40% or 75%, of Copper Fox's interest in the Schaft Creek property is triggered upon delivery of a positive Feasibility Study to Teck. Should Teck elect to exercise its option for 75%, Teck is required to fund subsequent property expenditures up to a total of 400% of those incurred by Copper Fox ($84.9 million to July 31, 2012) and arrange for project financing, including the Copper Fox portion. For full details of the Teck earn back option please refer to the Company's website
The remainder of Copper Fox's registered interests in mineral tenures in British Columbia total 47,445.22 hectares (117,240 acres). These interests have been acquired by Copper Fox through mineral tenure acquisitions and mineral tenure purchase agreements subsequent to Copper Fox entering into the Teck Option Agreement. Certain portions of these registered mineral tenures are subject to inclusion within the Schaft Creek project pursuant to the terms of the "Area of Interest" provisions of the Teck Option Agreement.
*United States investors are advised that current Mineral Resources are not current Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate and in keeping with "best practice principles".

Committee Opinion Number 661, April 2016
(Reaffirmed 2018)
ABSTRACT: Immunization against vaccine-preventable diseases is an essential component of women's primary and preventive health care. Despite the importance of vaccination and clear guidance from public health agencies, rates of vaccination lag behind national goals. Obstetrician–gynecologists can play a major role in reducing morbidity and mortality from a range of vaccine-preventable diseases, including pertussis, influenza, human papillomavirus, and hepatitis. Given demonstrated vaccine efficacy and safety, and the large potential for prevention of many infectious diseases that affect adult...

I'm pretty excited about this update and multisite compatibility is the reason why! As someone who manages a pretty vast multisite network, I think WordPress multisite is awesome and hope others find this new functionality useful as well.
But version 1.3 didn't present itself solely bearing the fruits of multisite. Here's the full list of improvements:
- Added multisite custom post type manager.
- Added setting to assign meta box format, i.e. autocomplete, checklist or dropdown.
- Before, you could change the meta box via filter. Now it's just a matter of selecting a radio button. You can still use the filter if need be.
- Added "Show Admin Column" to the CPT-onomy settings.
- This is a new register_taxonomy() setting as of WordPress 3.5.
- Before, CPT-onomies added the column itself but will now hook into this new core taxonomy functionality.
- I will retain backwards compatability for a little while.
- Deprecated the ability to make the CPT-onomy admin columns sortable in order to align with new, core WP taxonomy admin column functionality.
- The new core WordPress taxonomy admin columns are not sortable so, therefore, I've removed the column sort functionality from the plugin.
- Deprecated the 'custom_post_type_onomies_add_cpt_onomy_admin_sortable_column' filter.
- Before, you could use this filter to turn off the column sortability. Now, with sorting gone, there's no need to have the filter.
- Added support for the "Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types" plugin.
- This particular feature was commissioned by a user and will allow you to create CPT-onomy relationships when you use a Gravity Forms form to create a custom post type post.
- Added the ability to only include/assign specific terms by passing term IDs to a filter.
- Like the previously added "exclude" filter, this filter allows you to designate that you only want specific CPT-onomy term(s) to be allowed to be assigned.
- Added wp_set_post_terms() to the CPT-onomy class.
Hope you the enjoy the update. I already have ideas for the next round! And, as always, please let me know if you have any questions or find any bugs! Thanks!

Featuring a new storyline that runs parallel to the tale told in J.R.R. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings trilogy, War in the North puts players in the roles of a three-person fellowship that must venture to the lands of the North and defeat an army led by one of Sauron's chief lieutenants, Agandaur. See the films and game come together in the War in the North Movie Touchpoints trailer:
Lord of the Rings: War in the North is a Windows PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 title.
Spy Guy says: I had the chance to play a good chunk of one level in War in the North at E3 and was disappointed. The targeting system was loose, resulting in too many attacks that came nowhere close to enemies, and the overall control scheme felt clunky. The game looked solid visually, with character and environment designs pulled straight from Jackson's films, and the co-op features worked well. Here's to hoping Snowblind resolves the core control issues by November.

Verizon Begs To Be Classified Under Title II For Subsidies; Screams About Parade Of Horribles Any Other Time
from the title-ii-shell-game dept
There's just one big problem with this: those very same telcos with those very same networks are begging to have them classified under Title II at other times. Basically, the telcos absolutely love Title II when it gives them all sorts of subsidies and tax breaks.
Here, for example, you can see Verizon making it quite clear that its FiOS fiber service should be classified under Title II in New Jersey.
But here's the little dance move they pull. They claim that this infrastructure must be considered Title II, in order to get those subsidies, tax breaks and rights of way. And they insist that it's proper to classify it as Title II because it offers voice service over those lines. But, at the very same time, they claim that all other services that they provide, must be classified under Title I.
Oh, and it gets better: they claim that in order to pay for all of this (even though they're getting all these breaks and subsidies), they have to raise the prices on telephone service -- which they've done at a fairly astounding rate.
And, we're not done with the scam yet. As we've been describing for years, part of this shell game is that Verizon promises that, under Title II, it will install this fiber to everyone -- and then never delivers. And then, for the final kick in the gut, after it fails to deliver on those promises, it gets local politicians to drop the requirements it agreed to in order to get the subsidies.
And... this doesn't even touch on the issue of "IP transition," where after they get all these tax breaks and subsidies based on the claims of providing (increasingly expensive) "voice" services under Title II, the very same telcos will want to turn off that voice service, in favor of voice service over the internet. Now, voice services are clearly moving to the internet, and that's reasonable. But this is part of the telco shell game. Get all these tax breaks and subsidies by pretending all of that fiber was a Title II service, but then shut down the Title II covered-telco service the first chance they get, and shift it to an "information" service under Title I. Voila: they get all the tax breaks and benefits of Title II for installing the infrastructure, but then don't have to meet the obligations of a common carrier which they promised to meet in order to get those subsidies.
It's almost astoundingly brilliant if we weren't all left paying the (increasingly larger) bill for worse service.
Either way, whenever you see the telcos listing out the parade of horribles under Title II, it might be worth reminding them that they, themselves, were the ones who insisted on classifying their own networks under Title II because of all the "benefits" it brought.

|System: PS3, Xbox 360, PC
|Dev: Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games
|Pub: Activision
|Release: November 8, 2011
|Players: 1 - 2+ Online
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
by Robert VerBruggen
It's an odd-numbered year, and that means it's Infinity Ward's turn to release a Call of Duty title in November. This time, they have help from Sledgehammer Games (a brand-new Activision studio) and Raven Software (the solid but unremarkable team best known for making lackluster sequels to Id Software games). The game will reportedly be called Modern Warfare 3, and the developers are aiming for a "bug free" release with Metacritic scores above 95.
Just this weekend, the first significant details about the new title surfaced. Much as the last Modern Warfare title stoked controversy by asking the player to gun down innocent civilians in an undercover terrorist mission, Modern Warfare 3 is going to hit close to home. The antagonisms between Russia and the U.S. have spread, and through various characters, you'll fight in what is essentially World War III.
In what is either a coincidence or a sign that the leak contained very, very recent additions, SEAL Team Six—the team that (apparently) killed Osama bin Laden—is mentioned in the game. But that's far from the only reference that bears on current events. In a scene that's sure to evoke memories and protests, one mission involves a Russian invasion of Manhattan that starts at the Hudson River and culminates in a firefight outside the New York Stock Exchange. The U.S.S. Intrepid might even be destroyed during the battle. London, which like New York has been the target of terrorist attacks in real life, will also be the scene of a battle.
New York won't be left alone in the multiplayer, the area Raven is developing, either. One map has you fighting to the death in Brooklyn. All in all, there are about twenty maps, according to the leak, though some may be eliminated or packaged as DLC instead of sold with the game. Besides Brooklyn, they include Mogadishu, Paris, and Lambeth (a district in London).
While the most controversial elements will probably take place in the U.S. and U.K., Modern Warfare 3's fifteen missions will be truly global in scope. The single-player mode takes you through Russia, India, Africa, Germany, the Czech Republic, and the United Arab Emirates. You'll play a variety of roles: protecting a top-level Russian official during negotiations with the U.S., gunning down enemies from a tank, and bombing ground targets from the eerily quiet safety of an AC-130 airplane. We hear that this story might be the last one for at least one major character, and that there will be a new U.S. character named Sandman.
Special Ops will make a return as well. As of now, there are five maps for the "Survival" mode (think horde mode): "Carbon," "Dome," "Seatown," "Radar," and "Village." There are also seven missions: "Civilian Rescue," "Flood the Market," "Invisible Threat," "Little Bro's," "Out of Africa," "No Fly Zone," and "Wing Man."
Aside from the recent leak, which is admittedly extensive, there isn't much information available on the game. We've heard rumors of more destructible environments, but we're not sure to what extent yet.
It's unclear whether Modern Warfare 3 will look dramatically better than previous entries in the series. What few screenshots have been released have inspired some disappointed reactions—and some unflattering comparisons with, for example, Battlefield 3. While Battlefield 3 uses the new Frostbite 2 engine, Modern Warfare 3's developers have continued building on Infinity Ward's IW engine, a modification of Id Tech 3 that was first used in Call of Duty 2 six years ago. Texture streaming and other features were added by the time Modern Warfare 2 came around, and while the developers claim that more improvements have been made for this iteration, the early screenshots of MW3 don't seem to showcase any of them. We're hoping that these leaked pictures aren't indicative of how the engine will be performing when the final version hits stores this holiday season.
The Call of Duty series has a whole lot of momentum behind it, and a lot is riding on this forthcoming title. Activision and Infinity Ward are taking some risks here, not only in courting controversy, but also in giving so much control to an untested studio (Sledgehammer) and a studio that has spent most of the last twenty years remixing Id Software games (Raven).
Will this be another record-setting title for the franchise? Sledgehammer certainly seems to think so. It's exceptionally gutsy to announce that you expect your game to get a 95 on Metacritic, especially when the insanely popular Modern Warfare 2 came in slightly below that. We hope they can reach the bar they've set, but if they want that kind of adulation, they'll need to pull off some true innovation in the crowded FPS field.

Media Release: Study Confirms Positive Association between Duration of Breastfeeding and Adult Intelligence
May 7, 2002--(Schaumburg, Illinois) In a study published in the May 8, 2002 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), researchers found that infants breastfed for seven to nine months had higher IQs as adults than those breastfed for less than seven months.
Using two types of intelligence tests, researchers compared IQ scores for young adults who had been breastfed for various lengths of time. While the study showed an increase in intelligence at all duration levels of breastfeeding, participants who had been breastfed for seven to nine months showed the largest increase of IQ points at 6, compared to those breastfed for one month or less.
Using a two-pronged approach to evaluate more than 3,000 young adults in Copenhagen, Denmark, researchers took into account other factors that might contribute to the IQ increase such as parental social status and education; single mother status; mother's height, age and weight gain during pregnancy, and cigarette consumption during the third trimester as well as number of pregnancies; estimated gestational age; birth weight; birth length; and indexes of pregnancy and delivery complications. The scientists concluded that duration of breastfeeding may have long-term positive effects on cognitive and intellectual development.
While previous studies have demonstrated a positive relationship between breastfeeding and psychomotor and mental development in children, most of them stressed the significant difference between those infants who had been breastfed versus those who were fed artificial baby milk. This study is unique in that it demonstrates the positive, life-long effects of breastfeeding by testing young adults in relationship to the duration of their breastfeeding experience as infants and because it is the first to track IQ into maturity. Scientists believe that the nutrients in human milk, maternal behavior, and factors associated with the choice of feeding method all play a part in the positive correlation between duration of breastfeeding and increased IQ.
Previous research has well documented additional long-term positive effects of breastfeeding both for the baby and the mother. For the infant, long-term effects of breastfeeding include reduced risk of celiac disease, diabetes, obesity, some childhood cancers, Crohn's disease, urinary tract infections, atopic disease, and reduced endometriosis in women in later life. For the breastfeeding mother, there is reduced risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer and osteoporosis.

This posting of an annotated bibliography on gesture user interfaces, on-line character recognition (a.k.a. dynamic character recognition, a.k.a. pen and touch computing), both hardware and software, has been a continuing work-in-progress since the 1980s. It includes information on related application topics, such as digital rights management (DRM), portable computing, cryptographic communications, and biometric authentication. I am posting it as a service to those with interest in the field. It may also be of special interest to anyone investigating any of the areas of digitizer tablets, touchscreens, character recognition, touch/gesture user interfaces, multi-touch computing, passive and active tactile feedback, touch and proximity sensors, augmented reality, haptics, context-dependent intrepretation of user input, and applications including the same. It covers the time period from approximately 1891 (first electronic tablet) through 1914 (first gesture/handwriting-recognition input system) to the present day.

First, we learned all the happy, glossy details about Ashley and J.P.'s December 1 wedding. And that was fun. Now, the news we really want to hear -- about what it was actually like at The Bachelorette couple's "I do"s -- is trickling out, and let's just say the night did NOT go off without a hitch.
One of the biggest snafus: Once ABC stopped filming the couple's wedding at 8 p.m., the open bar closed, The New York Daily News reports. "ABC would only pay for the part they were filming. As the night went on, and production stopped, so did the open bar," says a source. And apparently there had been no post-filming plan for the newlyweds to start picking up the drink tab. Wuhoh ... Thus, guests were suddenly confronted with a cash bar, and they were LIVID. Well ... can you blame 'em?!
I can imagine if this happened to my family and friends or many of my friends' wedding guests, all hell would break loose. It definitely depends on where you live and the culture there, and who your wedding guests are, but where I'm from, people expect an open bar at a wedding. It's a given. And no one cares who is springing for it -- be it the parents of the bride, the bride and groom themselves, or a major TV network -- but they want their free booze and they want it for 3 to 4 hours minimum. That's just the way it is.
When I was hunting down venues for my upcoming wedding, one hotel suggested we keep our budget down by going with a cash bar. Wedding sites like The Knot suggest that all the time, and yes, of course, forgoing a pricey liquor package is definitely one way to keep the total down. It's certainly a smart way to go if you think your guests couldn't care less about drinking, or your wedding is a more low-key, morning or mid-day affair. But if you're going to have a wedding on a Friday or Saturday night and you're inviting people to come PARTY, they're probably going to assume you're footing the bill for the booze.
And in this case, where the wedding was such a high-profile, Hollywood affair, obviously everyone assumed the free drinks were going to flow well past a 5-year-old's bedtime! That said, I'm hoping Ashley and J.P. eventually got the issue resolved for their guests. Because in a case like theirs, expecting guests to cough up for every drink a la carte isn't just a major wedding faux pas -- it's a total buzzkill.
How do you feel about open bar vs. cash bar at a wedding?
