text: Trump releases tax plan: now Congress takes its turn Tax Reform Alert Share this 28 APR 2017 By: Evan M. Migdail Steven R. Phillips The release this week of the Trump Administration's tax reform principles, along with the disclosure by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) of a letter from the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation relative to the budgetary implications of cutting the corporate tax rate, is likely to begin the process of forcing some key decisions and defining the roles that the White House and Congress will take as the debate on tax reform accelerates in the Congress. The White House release, although brief, confirmed that the President supports deep tax rate cuts across the board. It would bring the rate on business income (whether through corporations or pass-throughs) to 15 percent, and would reduce the highest individual rate from 39.6 percent to 35 percent (with only two additional brackets at 10 percent and 25 percent), eliminate the alternative minimum tax, double the standard deduction (eliminating federal taxation for couples earning less than $24,000), and provide tax relief for families with child and dependent care expenses. On the international side, the plan would shift the US to a territorial system and would impose a one-time tax on the deemed repatriation of US corporate profits held overseas (the plan does not specify at what rate these profits would be taxed or over how long a period of time the tax could be paid). The plan would eliminate the estate tax and the 3.8 percent tax on investment income under the Affordable Care Act. On the individual side, the plan proposes the elimination of all tax expenditures except for the home mortgage and charitable deductions, and, on the business side, the plan calls for the elimination of "tax breaks for special interests" without specifying which ones would be targeted. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in announcing the plan indicated that more detail would follow in the coming weeks and that revenue losses would be offset through base broadening, mostly through the elimination of many tax expenditures, and through an increase in GDP growth, which he projects at 3 percent or above as a result of the economic policies of the Administration, including tax reform. While Congressional Republican leaders welcomed the release, noting that it signaled a great deal of common ground with their plans for tax reform, much of the reaction on the Hill relates to the fact that a more robust set of offsets may be needed under Congressional budgetary rules. The House Republican tax writers meet this weekend in a retreat for the purpose of deciding on the path forward for tax reform, where the offset issue will almost certainly be discussed among other key items. Process and next steps Concerned that Democrats may be unwilling to support tax reform, Republican leaders have been planning to use the budget reconciliation process to pass it, a procedure that requires only a simple majority in the Senate, rather than the normal 60-vote margin needed to proceed to debate − a substantial benefit given that Republicans hold just 52 seats in the Senate. However, the privilege of proceeding with a simple majority has substantial limitations, including the rule that the provisions may not lose revenue outside of what is usually a ten-year budget scoring window. President George W. Bush's 2001 individual tax cut legislation was scored as losing $1.6 trillion in the budget window but was allowed in reconciliation because, by its own terms, it would sunset in ten years, with no budget impact thereafter. The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) this week in a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), released the night before the White House tax plan was issued, contrasted the Trump plan with the 2001 tax cuts, noting that, unlike cuts in individual tax rates, a corporate tax cut beyond two years has long-tail revenue losses outside of the ten-year window (lower rates cause losses to be carried forward further and an acceleration of repatriation that might have taken place in later years) and, as a result, a corporate rate cut beyond two years will either have to be offset or approved by a 60-vote margin, which would require the support of eight Senate Democrats as well as the support of all Senate Republicans. In other words, while Republican leaders in Congress approve of the President's aspirational goals for cutting rates and economic growth, the President's plan is unlikely to fit within Congressional budget rules; in the coming months, one of the key roles of Republican leaders will be to conform the plan those complex rules. (The JCT has in recent years taken macroeconomic effects into account in evaluating the impact of tax legislation, but the savings from doing so have been modest.) In that regard, there has been a great deal of speculation over the fate of the House proposal for a border adjustable corporate income tax (BAT), which was not included in the White House plan but which would reportedly raise well above $1 trillion. The BAT has come under intense criticism from a growing number of Senate Republicans and some in the House as well and has split the business community. In fact, yesterday Senate Assistant Majority Leader John Cornyn (R-Texas) suggested that the BAT would not be included in tax reform. However, immediately following the release of the JCT letter indicating that any corporate rate cut beyond ten years will need offsets, the Speaker announced that he is open to modifications to the BAT, including long phase-in periods for certain sectors (retail, for example) and there also have been discussions about the possibility of excluding financial transactions. For his part, Secretary Mnuchin indicated that while the Administration does not support the BAT in its current form, it is open to a discussion of modifications to it. Senior House Republican tax-writing staff also believe that the White House decision to embrace territoriality will also revitalize the BAT in some form because a pure territorial system will require rules to prevent the erosion of the US corporate tax base (corporations moving to extreme low tax jurisdictions) and to prevent aggressive transfer pricing, both of which they believe are adequately addressed through the BAT (the 2014 Camp tax reform proposal contained base erosion provisions to address these concerns). The President will likely continue to insist on some type of provision to level the playing field in trade, taking into account import taxes and tariffs that are charged by US trading partners. In some ways, the White House tax plan championed the easy part of tax reform, the reduction in rates and simplification of the tax system. The hard part may be left to the Congress, given that it is its rules that make it hard. In the coming months, the tax writers will have to decide how much of tax reform must be offset (will the JCT and the Parliamentarian settle for offsets only for the corporate rate reductions?) and which offsets will garner a consensus among Republicans if Democrats ultimately decided not to support the effort. There is almost universal agreement among the tax writers that a 15 percent business rate is unachievable under Congressional budget constraints. As a result, stakeholders will have to evaluate whether the offsets affecting them limit the overall benefits of rate reduction that is higher than 15 percent. And, given concerns over ever-rising federal debt and the expected debate this fall over legislation to authorize an even higher debt limit for the United States, members will also need to decide what their comfort level is for a tax reform plan that at least in the near term is likely to increase deficits.

Statement of Chairman Joseph T. Kelliher on the President's State of the
Union Address
"I applaud President Bush for his leadership and his steadfast recognition that addressing the Nation's energy needs must be one of the country's top priorities. We have been fortunate that this winter has been mild for most of the country. Nevertheless, world events are validating the President's call to build upon his 2001 National Energy Policy and the comprehensive energy legislation he signed into law last summer. Our nation must build the energy infrastructure necessary to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
"On Thursday, February 2, at 10:00am, the Commission will convene a special public meeting to further implement the mandates of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and make America's energy infrastructure more reliable."

Geology & Earth Sciences
Program Description
The Associate in Science Transfer (AS-T) degree is designed to prepare students for entrance into a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) program in Geology or Earth Sciences. The primary focus of the AS-T degree is completion of the necessary math and science requirements for junior standing at Washington state baccalaureate institutions. Students will be required to take additional general education courses after transfer. Since the B.A. degrees do not require as many math and science prerequisites, students should consider the following the AA-DTA degree guidelines. Geology is an excellent major for graduate studies in Geology, Hydrology, Environmental Science, Oceanography and Law.
Geology and Earth Sciences — What is it?
Geology is the study of the earth—its substances, history and evolution of life. With rivers, mountains, oceans, and canyons, rocks, metals, minerals and fossils, the earth is a vast laboratory for geological scientists.
Areas of study in Geology and Earth Sciences:
Earth History, Mineralogy, Physics, Economics, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Oceanography, Landscapes, Geological Structures, Geological Mapping and Volcanology.
Career Opportunities — What can I do with a Bachelor's Degree in Geology and Earth Sciences?
Geologists develop strong critical thinking, problem solving, communication and technical
skills to work in careers fields that include environmental protection, environmental
policy, conservation, hydrology, mining, natural resources, hazardous materials, consulting,
research and development, education, and law.
Potential employers include:
Petroleum Industry, Mining Companies, Engineering and Consulting Firms, Public and Private Schools, Colleges and Universities, and Government Agencies such as the Department of Energy, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Mines and the Environmental Protection Agency. For more, please visit Career Counseling.
Transfer Possibilities — Where can I transfer?
The AS-T makes it possible for students to transfer to a number of public and private colleges and universities in the U.S. with junior standing. An Associate Degree from Shoreline makes it possible for students to transfer to public and private colleges and universities throughout the U.S. with junior standing. Shoreline also has agreements with several universities to make transferring even easier. For transfer within Washington State, we offer a special degree called the AA-DTA. For international students, Shoreline also has conditional admission agreements that allow a student to be simultaneously accepted by Shoreline and a university of the student's choosing.

Although Microsoft's 128 GB Surface Pro tablet is advertised as having 128 gigabytes of storage, the amount of space available to users is much less than that. That's also true for the 64 GB model.
The Redmond, Wash., company confirmed Tuesday that the 128 GB Surface Pro has 83 GB of free storage, while the 64 GB version comes with 23 GB of open space. The reason for the difference: space already taken up by the tablet's Windows 8 Pro operating system and various preinstalled apps.
The remaining space is what's available for users to store documents, music, movies, apps and other software.
10 tech companies to watch in 2013
It's not unusual for preinstalled software to take up some the advertised space on a tablet or smartphone, but the Surface has stood out because it uses up more space than many of its peers.
When the Surface RT, a lighter version of Microsoft's tablet, came out in October, its versions also had less free space than their listed capacity -- but more than their Surface Pro counterparts do. For example, the 64 GB Surface RT had 46 GB of available storage.

[Intro: Eminem]
Woo!!! Yeah!!! Remix!!! (50 Cent: Ha Ha!!!)
Lloyd Banks!!! (Lloyd Banks: Uh Huh!!!) Ha Ha!!!
[Verse 1: Eminem]
It's like a throne that he don't even own
He won't sit down give him a crown he just throws it around
It's like a joke he's like a king but he don't do a thing
He don't want the diamonds, want the gold or want the jewelry
He don't want the room or want the loot he's in it for the sport
Running circles 'round his competition on the court
He appreciates your support but he ain't begging for it
And you can love and you can hate it
But you can't ignore it, you can't be that ig-nor-ant
But you can try to sell him short
But you can't fuck with his last joint or the one before it
And he was born to raise hell like them country boys
And If I'm fronting man you better come confront me for it
[Hook: Nate Dogg]
This is the story of a warrior, I know you know it
True warriors go ahead and make some noise
It ain't healthy to be making niggas paranoid
Hit your corner with my weapon I don't need my boys
I'm doing a hundred tween in the fast lane
Kick back just relax let me do my thing
Don't give a fuck about you suckers gotta maintain
Money, power and respect in this rap game
[Verse 2: Lloyd Banks]
He's straight outta a neighborhood where niggas hate
To see you blow and eat your dinner off a bigger plate
Their stomachs ache while he's lounging in the big estate
And he hops in a hundred thousand where the nigga stay, houses with a bigger gate
Hounding him's a big mistake, he won't surrender he'll rather give up a rib to break
Cause he remembers when they wouldn't lend a helping hand
Till he was sitting on green like a Celtic fan
Created a buzz to where you gotta mention his name
When you discussing the illest players that's in the game
And he's riding with Em, 50 Cent, Doc and 'em
G-Unit Records ain't a motherfucker stopping them
[Verse 3: 50 Cent]
He's no magician man the kid does something out of nothing
So that niggas from his hood act like he owes him something
They talk crazy till they send niggas to where to buck him
Ask him if it's a problem and he'll say "nah, it's nothing"
He was gonna help 'em out but since they fronted fuck 'em
He don't care how they feel they can hate him or love him
He held his own on his own the kid is really thugging
He's rich now, he ain't changed so niggas think he bugging
He bulletproof everything cause niggas try and buck him
Keeps two pistols on his hip I'll show you where he tuck 'em
Niggas say they gon' get at him but they can't touch him
Try to catch him slipping they creep in and he start bussing
[Outro: Nate Dogg]
I can give you niggas something you can talk about
I can turn your smile upside down
You ain't no G you a fucking clown
I can take your girl and tu-turn her out
Don't hold it in let it all out
I can give you fuckers something to be mad about
Invite her in send her back out
With my DNA all in her mouth

Seth MacFarlane planning Family Guy film
- Bang Showbiz
- 3 December 2012
Seth MacFarlane says he has a genius idea for 'Family Guy' the movie, but wants to wait until the time is right to start working on it
Seth MacFarlane is planning a 'Family Guy' movie.
The 'Ted' director has "finally" come up with the perfect idea to take his hit cartoon sitcom from the small screen to a feature length film and promises it will be more successful than the 2007 'The Simpsons' attempt.
He told Entertainment Weekly: "We do know what the 'Family Guy' movie will be. 'The Simpsons' movie, I thought, was hilarious, but the one criticism I would have is that it's a story they probably could've done on TV. There could've been an episode that had that plotline.
"That's the challenge with animation. You pretty much can do any story you want, so what is the reason for the movie? We finally hit on the answer to that question, and it will be something that would be impossible to do on TV."
The 2013 Oscars host remained coy about his upcoming project, but hinted he would be concentrating on the crude comedy series for the near future until it had run its course.
Seth teased: "It's just a matter of when. It's hard to do that while you have the series going on at the same time; I think that's why it took 'The Simpsons' 20 seasons to figure out how to do it."
Speaking to a disappointed crowd of UCLA students, he said of the film's core idea: "I can't tell you what that is."
Meanwhile, the funnyman's first foray into cinema, 'Ted' - starring Oscars - starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis - grossed almost $400 million worldwide in the box office and Universal Pictures have confirmed they want to get started on a sequel "as soon as possible."

DailyDirt: Playing With Biological Fire By Reviving Ancient Organisms
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Scientists pulled up an ancient moss buried below the permafrost from an island called Signy (not too far from Antarctica) -- and brought that moss back to life. This particular moss is about 1500 years old, but it's not the oldest multicellular organism brought back to life by humans. The current record holder is a 31,800 year old flowering plant called Silene stenophylla, but that plant was cloned and required more complex laboratory manipulations to resuscitate. Ancient moss might have another chance to beat the record if researchers can revive 50,000 year old mosses from Canada's Baffin Island. [url]
- Siberia scientists say they might have a decent shot at cloning a woolly mammoth with the help of a modern female elephant. It might take decades to accomplish a cloning procedure, but they have a woolly mammoth carcass that is well-preserved which is a good starting point. [url]
- A 30,000+ year old virus from the Siberian permafrost has become infectious again, thanks to some French researchers. This ancient virus attacks amoebas (not people or other animals), but its cousins could be lurking in the permafrost, ready to come out if global climate change warms up the right areas. [url]

Thursday September 20, 2012
Anchorman actor Paul Rudd has made a break from the big screen to star in a Broadway production.
The actor is performing in Grace, a play about an Evangelical Christian who spirals into insanity.
However, the actor does not believe his return to the stage is an act of regression.
He said: "Two people today have asked me that same question. 'Why come back' 'Why are you back?' As if theatre is something you do UNTIL you're able to get a job in movies and television.
"I've never felt that. I mean, I live in this city and the reason I moved here 17 years ago was to do plays."
He added: "One of the things I love about doing plays in New York is to feel a part of the city and part of a community that's really vital and tight-knit. I wanted to be back in that."

1% of 4% of 7 Billion - Who's in your market?
Image by DonkeyHotey via Flickr
Big markets attract a lot of attention. After all, with that many potential customers you can see a path to huge revenues. The challenge is getting heard by that big market. On the flip side, a small market does not have a huge number of customers so the revenue potential is not as large. However, it is much easier to make sure that small market knows about you and your product.
Here in Iowa we are 1% of 4% of 7 billion people. While 3 million people in Iowa sounds like a big number, it is an incredibly small number compared to the earth's population. You have a choice when you start marketing your product or service. You can cast your marketing net wide and try to let as many people know as possible, or you can target your marketing on a small segment. Which is right?
It depends.
If you need to scale large just to break even, you must cast a wide net and gain as many customers as you can, as quickly as you can. That means you will be spending a very large amount of money on marketing and sales. You likely will spend far more on marketing and sales than you do on your product.
If you have a product or service that gets you to profitability quickly, you have the option of starting with a small marketing budget pointed at a very defined, narrow grouping of potential customers. As you gain customers you can incrementally increase the size of the market to which you communicate.
Either way, you need to know who's in your market and make sure you have the funds needed to reach them.

"This is an introductory overview post for the Linux Graphics Stack, and how it currently all fits together. I initially wrote it for myself after having conversations with people like Owen Taylor, Ray Strode and Adam Jackson about this stack. I had to go back to them every month or so and learn the stuff from the ground up all over again, as I had forgotten every single piece. I asked them for a good high-level overview document so I could stop bothering them. They didn't know of any. I started this one. It has been reviewed by Adam Jackson and David Airlie, both of whom work on this exact stack." Introductory or no, still pretty detailed.

I don't think it's trolling, just very negative, and the links are even more one-sided. The thing is, it's true that it's inconvenient not having a stable ABI, and anyway I like it that the FOSS community is full of criticism; there's no marketing hype-driven one true faith. It's more... scientific :-)

DEC tentatively allows permit renewal for hazardous waste disposal at CWM
PORTER – The state Department of Environmental Conservation announced Wednesday that it has tentatively decided to grant a permit renewal to CWM Chemical Services for continued disposal of hazardous waste at its 47.1-acre landfill.
The DEC announcement emphasized that no decision has been made on the company's request to expand the landfill, part of the 710-acre parcel owned by Waste Management, CWM's parent company.
The five-year permit renewal for existing operations won't be official until after a 60-day public comment period, which ends Jan. 28. The DEC distributed a fact sheet showing that the comment period is 15 days longer than required by state regulations.
The comment period will include public meetings at 5 and 7 p.m. Jan. 14 in Lewiston-Porter High School, 4061 Creek Road, Lewiston.
The last permit was granted in 2005, and operations have been holding over since its formal expiration in 2010.
As of early November, the landfill had taken 165,000 tons of hazardous waste this year, spokeswoman Lori Caso said Wednesday.
Opposition to CWM, including members of the group Residents for Responsible Government, had speculated that the landfill might run out of space before its permit was renewed.
The renewal includes several modifications, including an increase from $70 million to $100 million in the amount that CWM must commit to pay for monitoring the existing landfill once its space is exhausted and the site is fully capped.
The DEC says it has increased the required post-closure care period to 30 years. Also, the agency has granted CWM authorization to deal with two contamination issues that have cropped up recently at the site, and those will be included in the new permit.
Two new groundwater-pumping systems and waste-storage tanks were authorized Aug. 1 because of groundwater contamination found at the landfill.
Also, radiological contamination has been found in the sediment in a pond that contains treated water that leached from the landfill. A three-year investigation timetable is included in the proposed new permit. CWM also must continue remediation on previously discovered leaks.
CWM's means of informing waste haulers that trucks may not arrive during student arrival and departure periods at the nearby Lew-Port campus also is being altered, although the hours have not been changed.
The company would now be allowed to inform the haulers of the blackout hours directly instead of including the information in the transporter's permit; CWM is no longer required to sign that permit because of a change in DEC regulations.

At first, the Islamic extremists in Nigeria's dusty northeast rode on the backs of motorcycles, firing on government officials and other perceived enemies with worn Kalashnikov assault rifles hidden beneath their flowing robes. Now, they come prepared for war.
When Islamic fighters drove into a town in northeast Nigeria on Tuesday, they used anti-aircraft guns, mounted on the backs of trucks, to destroy nearly every landmark of the nation's federal government. Fighters also rode in on at least one bus, the military said, while in other assaults insurgents have fired rocket-propelled grenades.
The militarisation of Islamic radicals in the north comes after witnesses saw Nigerian fighters mingle with the extremists who took over northern Mali in the weeks following a coup there. It also comes after fighters seized massive troves of Nigerian military equipment and have received access to arms smuggled out of the lawlessness of Libya.
Those new arms, and the willingness of extremists to use them, highlight the increasing instability in Nigeria's north and ever-growing dangers facing the nation's weak central government.
"Each year, they grow in prominence and sophistication," said David Zounmenou, an analyst at the Institute for Security Studies in Pretoria, South Africa. "That's what's making the fighting that much more difficult for the Nigerian security forces."
Tuesday, the sophistication of the fighters, likely from the extremist network known as Boko Haram, could be seen in their assault on Bama, a town some 65 kilometers (40 miles) southeast of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state. The military said some 200 fighters in buses and pickup trucks lay siege to the town. In their arsenal were truck-mounted anti-aircraft guns, weapons seen during the civil war in Libya and the recent fighting in northern Mali.
That attack in Bama killed at least 42 people, as well as 13 others that authorities described as Boko Haram fighters. But the insurgents' heavy weapons helped them overrun the barracks of the Nigerian Army's 202nd Battalion, as well as a police station, a police barracks, a magistrate's court, local government offices and a federal prison. The extremist fighters freed 105 prisoners during their assault, Lt. Col. Sagir Musa said.
The use of the weapons marks a transformation of Nigeria's Islamic extremist insurgency, which grew out of a 2009 riot led by Boko Haram members in Maiduguri that ended in a military and police crackdown that killed some 700 people. The group's leader died in police custody in an apparent execution, fueling dissent that broke into the open in 2010 with the targeted killings of government officials, security agents and religious leaders who spoke out against Boko Haram.
Since then, Islamic extremists have engaged in hit-and-run shootings and suicide bombings, attacks that have killed at least 1,618 people during that time, according to an Associated Press count. That number doesn't include the killings of at least 187 people in the fishing village of Baga during fighting between extremists and security forces, as witnesses and human rights activists say Nigeria's military killed civilians and burned thousands of homes and businesses.
Extremist attack casualties are expected to rise as fighters now have access to sophisticated weaponry. While Nigeria's military has fought in the past decade with heavily armed militants and criminal gangs operating in the creeks of its oil-rich southern delta, analysts and security official say those groups never had access to anti-aircraft weapons. Nor did these groups launch attacks overrunning military barracks or leveling towns.
Where extremists gathered these sophisticated weapons also remains unclear, though they have several means available to them. A propaganda video released in March by Boko Haram, featuring its leader Abubakar Shekau, showed fighters gathered around weapons they said they stole from an attack on an army barracks. Those weapons included what appeared to be heavy machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and possibly anti-aircraft weapons, as well as ammunition and brand-new bulletproof vests.
Another source of tactics and weapons may come from northern Mali, where Nigerian extremists fought along others.
"Boko Haram will also likely recruit militants who fought and obtained new skills from warfare in Mali," wrote analyst Jacob Zenn in a recent publication by the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Army's West Point. "The Boko Haram attack on an army barracks in Monguno … , in which the militants mounted weapons on four-wheel-drive vehicles, and the discovery of improvised fighting vehicles in a raid on a Boko Haram hideout in Maiduguri … suggest that Boko Haram has already learned new methods of fighting from the Islamist militants in Mali."
Meanwhile, arms are likely to continue to come out of Libya from heavily armed militias there, said analyst Zounmenou. Those arms can spread quickly through the Sahara Desert and into West Africa's Sahel to Nigeria, a major shipment stop for illegal weapons, he said.
While Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has spoken before about the need to control arms shipments throughout West Africa, the trade continues largely unstopped. And as more of those weapons end up in the hands of Islamic extremists in Nigeria's north, more violence can be expected, said Zounmenou: "They are now really going to war."

PR's Whole wheat Pita bread
I have baked two breads this past weekend, Whole Wheat Pita, and David's San Joaquin SD. The whole Wheat pitas, however, were the new favorites after I have finally had success with them.
The whole wheat Pita bread from Peter Reinhart's (Whole grain breads), and pitas in general have had me intimidated for quite some time. Simply put, they never puffed well even on hot stone, rendering my efforts futile. Not anymore, I learned few tricks from youtube on how to bake pitas and have them puff on stove.
I have made my biga with a sourdough starter, and retarded the bulk dough in the refrigerator for 6 hours after adding 1 tsp of instant yeast - 4 grams (Thanks Karin, and Janet). The cold overproofed dough was divided into 8 pieces, rounded and allowed to rest for ½ an hour. The rounds were then flattened into discs and rolled into pita shapes. 15 minutes later, a flat pan was heated on medium range stovetop while a round wire mesh was placed on a larger range. This is a youtube video demonstrating the process [1]. (Mind the steps, they won't puff properly if you overly cook either side). Although the video's title is roti/chapati (Indian breads), it works just as well for pita.
90% of the pitas puffed perfectly, something I have not achieved in the past. I was delighted!
Being from the middle east where Pita bread is staple ,my household were happy to have some authentic pitas at last ,after numerous failures. They were nutty, and soft with a hint of sourness from the biga. I will be making these again.
I also baked David's San Joaquin Sourdough. This is one fabulous bread, even without the full 18 hour retardation.

As we all know, Intel owns the netbook market right now with its Atom platform, but several contenders are ready to challenge Intel's dominance, such as ARM, AMD, and VIA. After spending a year behind a tree looking in on the playground as the new kid, too anxious to approach Intel, VIA is finally making its first steps onto the netbook playground with its latest toy, the Nano. AMD is kind of lost somewhere on the other end of town, but will eventually get there. Eventually.
ARM, on the other hand, has been sitting on a bench near the playground with its gang of licensees, ready to storm the playground, kick Intel to the curb, and shove it to the fancier part of the playground. ARM wants the rest of the playground, the part Intel finds too cheap to play on. And according to one analyst, ARM is going to succeed in doing just that.
Robert Castellano from The Information Network says that the combination of ARM and Linux can deliver fully capable netbooks at price points that Intel can only dream of for now, and before Intel catches up, ARM has already taken over the cheaper parts of the playground firmly enough. In fact, Castellano believes that ARM will power 55% of the netbooks by 2012.
Mario Morales, vice president of global semiconductor research at International Data Corp. (IDC), however, doesn't believe they'll get that far, and his reason for that is Linux. People want the familiarity of Windows, and as such, Atom has an advantage over ARM, he says. Morales believes that ARM will catch about 10-20% of the market.
Whatever way it goes, there's no way of telling that right now, if you ask me. The economic situation is highly unpredictable, and while the economy could recover in a few months, it could also collapse even further. There's no way of telling what effect this would have on the computer industry.
Still, AMD, VIA, and ARM are tough competitors for Intel, but at the same time, Intel won't sit idly by as they approach the playground.

Heartless (Bonus Track) Lyrics
For once, my eyes are open to you and everything you've said.
For once, your web of lies is in the open.
I gave you everything I had until I had nothing left;
still you act as if I'm just a burden.
I've finally let go.
Stay silent at least for now and let me move on 'cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart.
I've been around the world and back for you,
now it's time to choose.
I've been swallowed by this wreck that you call your life.
I'm damaged from the inside.
I've been broken.
Don't threaten me with what you think I feel.
If you could read my mind,
you'd be in tears.
I'm sick of your excuses you hold above me.
I've finally come to terms with what I am.
I'm nothing in your eyes,
and this will not change.
I'm living in a dream.
Stay silent at least for now and let me move on 'cause I'm so done playing these games with my heart.
I've been around the world and back for you,
and now it's time to choose.
And I'll close my eyes,
and dream of a better time when I'll be finally past this and be happy on my own.
I've done all I can and still I'm the one to be cast aside.
All I ever wanted to be was the one to wipe tears from your eyes.
But I guess I'll play second best to a world that will never care about you.
You'll never understand you're just another pretty face.
You'll tell me that you care and then run straight back to him.
I can hear your words of treason from a mile away.
You never did know how to whisper. You're such a liar.
Tell me the truth.
Do the world a favor stop cutting your arms,
and slit your throat.

Bulldogs Look For 4th Straight Win
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The Yale men's lacrosse team (7-2, 2-2 Ivy), on a three-game win streak that has put them 16th in at least one national poll, takes a break from Ivy League play on Tuesday for a road trip to Providence to take on the Friars (0-8, 0-2 Big East). Opening face-off is set for 7 p.m. at Friar Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex.
This will be the third meeting of the Bulldogs and Friars, all in the last four years. It will be the first ever in Rhode Island. Yale won 11-5 in 2006 at Boca Raton, Fla., while grabbing an 11-10 OT decision in March of 2009 at Reese Stadium.
The Elis, 5-0 this year in non-league games, are coming off a dominating, 8-3 win at Dartmouth last Saturday. Matt Gibson got five of those goals while Brian Douglass (2 goals) and Gregory Mahony also hit the net. Douglass leads the Ivies with 2.89 goals per game.
Johnathan Falcone stopped 15 shots and did not allow a Big Green tally for the first 37 minutes as Yale took a 6-0 lead and cruised to even its Ivy League mark.
The Blue, ranked 16th in the laxnews.com poll, is in fourth place in a tightly packed league race that will ultimately produce a four-team post-season playoff tournament May 7-9.
PC is coming off a 13-5 league loss at St. John's on Saturday. The Friars were led by sophomore midfielder Jake Nolan who matched a career-high with three assists. Sophomore Christian Dzwilewski played the first 45 minutes in net, making a career-best 13 saves while allowing 12 goals. Senior Frank Cicero played the final quarter and made one save.
Yale heads back to Providence on Saturday for its second to last Ivy League game, a 1 p.m. face-off against Brown, before finishing off the 2010 regular season with two home games.

500 or 600 dollars will get you 6 free drink tickets for the day, You also have to sign up for the M-Life card.
6 drink tickets is the limit I beleive, but why not go to the Belagio if you want free drinks?
Better nicer and roomier sportsbook and a hell of a lot more comfortable.
ECU....no real disagreement here...Once again, NO drink tickets for Bellagio and the servers NEVER ask for a bet ticket whether sports or horses.....they just work for tips and don't care if you're drunk or not betting.....just tipping.
I will offer (because I always do anyway)...a negative observation.
The Bellagio is the #1 hotel/casino in the MGM Resorts company but the race and sportsbook is turning into crap on big, busy weekends because of the drink policy.....the "f-bombs" are flying and pushing and shoving just to cash out a winning ticket are real common....
Whenever I'm at the IP book the cocktail waitress just comes around and takes your order. Tip is all that is needed.
I know this is an old thread but just wanted to comment..............I hadn't been to LV for 5-6 years until last December, & hadn't been to the MB since around 2002-03............but remembering the last time I was there, I had a blast. Was sitting at one of the cubes playing ponies & had 4-5 Heinies & 3-4 shots stacked up as I couldn't keep up with the waitress............just tipped her a couple bucks every time (no drink tix back then). Was disappointed as hell to hear what's going on now, & saw it 1st hand @ Clowntown. But others are right.........the C-C has a small book but very comfortable, & as long as you had race/game tix on the table (spent or not.....& you tipped) the gals didn't much care if you had drink tix or not. ( Found the same to be true @ the LV Hilton but to a lesser extent.........didn't know I was gonna be there the last week it was to be the LV Hilton btw).
Yep, the drinks are weak.........buy a bottle & spike your own.

Increasingly, researchers believe that the mechanisms that govern gene activity themselves resemble a complicated non-DNA code - an intricate pattern of activity among the molecules that package and control access to the DNA. They suspect that the coordinated interplay of a number of specific enzymes is required to turn on a particular gene.
Now, in a new study using the techniques of structural biology, investigators at The Wistar Institute have shown in detail how two enzymes work together to activate a specific gene by loosening, at that gene's location, the compact coils of DNA and packaging proteins called chromatin. The findings bolster the emerging theory that something like a code is responsible for orchestrating genetic activity. A report on the research appears in the August issue of Molecular Cell, published August 28.
"This is the first time we've understood the precise mechanism of how two specific modifications to the DNA packaging proteins interact synergistically to promote the expression of a particular gene," says Ronen Marmorstein, Ph.D., a professor in the Gene Expression and Regulation Program at Wistar and senior author on the study.
Most of the time, the great majority of genes are silenced, locked away within the packaging proteins of chromatin. For a given gene to be activated when needed, the chromatin must be opened at that gene's location on the DNA, and that location only, to make the gene physically accessible for transcription. Histone proteins play a key role in this process.
Histones are relatively small proteins around which DNA is coiled to create structures called nucleosomes. Compact strings of nucleosomes, then, form into chromatin, a substructure of chromosomes. When the DNA is tightly wrapped around the histones, the genes cannot be accessed and their expression is repressed. When the coils of DNA around the histones are loosened, the genes become available for expression, and it is the enzymatic activity governing this process in a specific case that Marmorstein's laboratory was able to illuminate.
Working in yeast, Marmorstein and his colleagues showed that when a kinase enzyme adds a phosphoryl group to a histone molecule at a particular location, it helps a histone acetyltransferase enzyme to add an acetyl group at a second location on the same histone molecule. The acetylation of the histone then is thought to prompt a loosening of the DNA coils around the histone to permit transcription of the gene on that length of DNA.
"Five to ten years ago, most biologists thought that the proteins that package DNA served only to maintain physical order," Marmorstein notes. "It's becoming clear, however, that these non-DNA elements of chromosomal structure dramatically influence gene expression. Proteins are coming on and off the DNA at specific times and locations to trigger the activation of genes."
The so-called "histone code" theory of gene regulation, advanced by C. David Allis, Ph.D., at the University of Virginia, and others, suggests that complex, interdependent modifications to the histones are responsible for controlling gene activity. The new data from the Wistar research team supports this view.
The two lead authors on the Molecular Cell study are Adrienne Clements, Ph.D., at Wistar, and Arienne N. Poux, at Wistar and the University of Pennsylvania. Wan-Sheng Lo, Ph.D., at Wistar, and Lorraine Pillus, at the University of San California, San Diego, are co-authors. Shelley L. Berger, Ph.D., the Hilary Koprowski Professor in the Gene Expression and Regulation Program at Wistar, was a collaborator and co-author on the study.
An earlier study by Berger and Wistar associate professor Ramin Shiekhattar, Ph.D., published in the August 10, 2001, issue of Science, reported the link between the two chromatin-modifying events, but details concerning the mechanism of action remained to be determined in the current research project.
Primary funding for the research was provided by the National Institutes of Health. Additional support came from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The Wistar Institute is an independent nonprofit biomedical research institution dedicated to discovering the causes and cures for major diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. Founded in 1892 as the first institution of its kind in the nation, The Wistar Institute today is a National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center - one of only eight focused on basic research. Discoveries at Wistar have led to the development of vaccines for such diseases as rabies and rubella, the identification of genes associated with breast, lung, and prostate cancer, and the development of monoclonal antibodies and other significant research technologies and tools.
News releases from The Wistar Institute are available to reporters by direct e-mail or fax upon request. They are also posted electronically to Wistar's home page (http://www.

In my history of MMORPG gameplay, I have found some that had RolePlay Only servers, but even these ended up not quite catching on the right way....at all.
So what would be a good way, format, layout, or whatever... to make a multi-player RPG work for a Roleplay purpose??
I don't have a solid answer, but I do have a few suggestions...
Y'know how some games make you choose a side before creating a character, and thus your game is going only in that direction no matter how many chars you make? Perhaps two different base storylines could be chosen from, both eventually leading to one set purpose for the whole MMORPG, and all characters create their own part into that history and have a hand in heading things toward the game's goal. Of course, there could/would be battling, puzzle solving, dungeons and some minor grinding to throw into the main storyline, but certain goals would also have to be met in order to get to the "next level"... type... thing.
That is just my raw, rambling cloud of ideas there, but I don't see why a game of this kind wouldn't be good or successful, given the right engine, art and format.
What do you think would make a Role-Play only MMORPG work?
.:Groovy, as it shoud be.:. *^_^*
unfortunately, there is no MMORPG like that that i know of. but there's stuff like the Fable series and Mass Effect that work somewhat like that
that is a really cool i dea though and i know I'd love to play something like that
Eh Lotr online has a pretty good and very in depth storyline if you want to try it. Sometime this year I believe it will be f2p
i think they should make a massive online mmorpg were you start from the begining of the universe or planet and be able to play as what ever type of character you created till the end, like the spore game, but more like anime versions or something like that... i hear there soon to have a pokemon universe up and running soon, but their not sure when it will be ready yet, so i've been waiting for them to finish doing what their doing so i can play it, i've seen their snap shot and it looks like it'll have good graphics and some good game play.... oh yea and did you know their coming out with a new pokemon game, it's called pokemon black and white... it's already been released in japan it just hasn't made it to the US, yet, and instead of a double battle their probably going to have a tripple battle thing going on, like instead of 2-on-2 it'll be 3-on-3 cool huh? and they have even better pokemon to catch, and a thing you can go online and visit, battle, and trade with friends, it will be a whole new set up for pokemon
every number is afraid of 7 because 7 ate 9.
Although is a nice idea it may not be very popular as often only at most 10% of a game population enjoys full Roleplaying their characters.
But well if u looks some fun mmorpg with it and be enjoyable, i recomend go for Dungeons & Dragons Online, and look for roleplay only guilds or groups in it forum, you surely will found enough people with same likes than you to have a wonderful gamming experience.
RP only MMO will never work.
True RP only exists in table top games and other gatherings of nerds and geeks.
To make RP work and be truly immersive, you need to allow the player to affect the world around them. Let me use an example to explain it:
Let's just say you're making a dungeon in a game. You set up the layout, choose your encounters and choose the rewards. So then you unleash the players into the dungeon. The players clear the dungeon, defeating every enemy, clearing every trap and collecting as much loot as they can carry.
Now what happens to any OTHER players wishing to experience something? You can't have them fight the same villains, right? After all, the first group just killed everyone. So now you have to create a new encounter. Once that's cleared, you have to create a new one. For every group of players, you would need to create a new encounter.
If you don't do this, you'll be breaking the immersion. Since the encounter would otherwise never truly be beaten.
In order to serve as many players as possible, the encounters need to be replayable.
Simply put, in order to allow for the most enjoyment to come out of your game, you need to give every player that can possibly show up a chance to experience content. If you don't, you'd only be pleasing the very first group of players that goes through anything.
That's a trap a lot of players fall into when thinking about what they want from a game. For example, in games like WoW, you'd think something like: Wouldn't it be cool if I could attack Stormwind with my Horde Guild and take it over?
It would be cool. FOR YOU. What about every other player that wants to play the game? Now the newbie alliance players can't step foot into SW because it is now Horde territory. So where do Humans go to use the auction house? How do they get to other cities in the game? Stormwind was a major hub for the Alliance. Without it, lower level players are simply unable to access the lower areas of the Eastern Kingdoms. So low level humans would need to be moved to a different starting zone. Which would end up putting a LOT of work on a group of people who already have their hands full.
You're going to have to come to terms with the fact that you will need to stick to single player or table top games to really experience any kind of roleplay that is even close to what you want.
I hope what I said wasn't too convoluted. Even though this thread is old, if there is anything I need to clarify, feel free to let me know.
I can't really say anything without getting tortured and legally decapitated by a lawyer in a court room but I would just keep your eyes on http://38studios.com/products/copernicus. R.A. Salvatore (creative director) & Todd McFarlane (executive art director) are involved.
walking in the shadows of our collective subconscious
Closest mmorpg that i can think of is City of Heroes
You get to choose to be either a Hero or a Villian, and from there to get to pick the various classes.
Overall, the storyline isn't that bad,
but i just love the fact that as a villian, i get to rob banks. lolol
I'm lazy that's all
The only MMO game I have ever found that succeeded in providing a wonderful RP environment even to this day. Is Ultima Online.. and not the OSI, im speaking free server. Though the graphics don't match up to current 3d games now a day the RP environment is still unmatched..
Reality is for those who lack Imagination..
There's Mabinogi a mmorpg that have you make your own character and play in a role in a play from Shakespeare. There's some rp dungeons as well.
well i playd mabinogi be4 and it is like a fantasy life. and the slogan is "Fantasy Life" lol so probably good for rp
Try Planeshift, it's main server is dedicated to role play and it's 100% free, no Item mall or any thing.

Look at the site before you DL, A lot of people have trouble with it.
Im currently addicted atm though.
Very few people play it, So we could use another player. The game is still in development, so bare with the glitches, and its pretty good with friends.
Dungeons and Dragons Online is great
it sounds really dorky, but it is good fun
There are a ton of groups who simply play to enjoy the role playing aspect of the game
some people play to level and such,
but it is fun if you feel like going on and being someone new too!
Og allt sem við erum, við erum~ pending: 17
It's a bit sad that there has been no real answer xD Feel bad for the OP, BUT!
For people who are like the OP, there is a game, called Illarion... and I'll basically copy+paste my description of it on another forum (it doesn't have a really large player base but it has a small active one) since I try to spread the word of illarion whenever because its really a game that deserves more quality players:
"I know of an amazing game that's been going for 10ish years, player base is large on the forums, not so much online though. Average people online for most of the day is 20+ (Topping up at 60 or more during events), but you always find someone. It's not like in Haven and Hearth, where the online list says there's a little over a thousand people online, but you never find anyone. ._. The community is split between English speakers (the "new" language in game) and German speakers (the "old" language), with people of all nationalities in between. I've seen spanish speakers too, and I know a French person who plays too ;P.
It's called Illarion:
The forum community is great. It is an extremely RP based MMO, though, you're in character all the time online, which is fun. You do NOT need to be a combat class to have fun. I found them the least fun (For me), and I've been playing with a hobbit cook who's mastered the art, and have been having amazing amounts of fun with him.
You can be a fighter, a scholarly mage, a wise craftsman, a chubby cook, or even a leader of a settlement.
You can be a hobbit, a human, a dwarf, a lizard, an elf, orc (Male or female) etc, etc, and choose a variety of jobs:
TL;DR approaching.
Cook/Baker (My hobbit char )
Priest (Priest magic is going to be developed eventually, once the really big update comes by this year )
Thief (Can be combat too.)
Mage (Can be combat, as well. Mostly focuses on healing, and illusion magic.)
Druid (AKA, alchemist. Can make potions, all from healing potions, potions that changes how the drinker looks like, etc. Collects herbs as well, for the potions.)
And others. You can be, quite literally, anything. I had an amazing time befriending a char who had a lizard bartender, whom my old barbarian character (Who died, cliche-like in that heroic style in an in-game war defending the "main" city. Poor Olaf ]: ) and, surprisingly, an elf, visited every other day and had the most hilarious or interesting conversations, and stumbling out of the tavern drunk. I've met playwrights, singers, musicians, scholars, a barber (I think he was a thief, though. xD), so on.
Battle Mage (Heavily damage based magic spells.)
Druid (Mostly non-combat, though. Does potions.)
The most popular choice is usually to be a swordsman, however some of the "most skilled" fighters in the game at times went with staves, or axes. A key note on being an archer- you will need a LOT of arrows if you plan to train with a bow and arrow (Which most people use when they're fighting, not for training; slings with stones are used to practice ranged attacks due to cheap ammo), although the ammunition does not cost a lot. There are many different types of weapons, as said before- swords (short, long, broadswords, rapiers, etc), daggers, axes, staves, and throwing weapons (Ninja stars and spears ). An important notice, though- becoming a mage, whether it be a battle mage or normal mage, takes EXTREMELY LONG (A few months or so after getting a teacher to learn all spells). Magic IS the strongest fighting type class, and as such, magic teachers do not give magic lessons (That's how you learn magic, through lessons with real in-game teachers) to anyone. They want to make sure you won't burn half the island once you get your magical powers.
As said before, the community is pretty great, laid-back and relaxed (Although sometimes the in-game atmosphere can be pretty... scary xD). The 'story' is that your character has shipped to the island called Gobiath, where other people (Outcasts, people who seek opportunity, and even a prince with an army before) live. You arrive in the harbor and plan to move to a nearby city- there is Troll's Bane, the 'capital' of Gobiath, where you can meet a member of every race there, of any job. There is a halfling town south, orcs and dwarf settlements north-east, a lizard-settlement east, a small island next door where the elves live, and the mysterious, dreaded place near the halfling town, Hellbriar.
As said before, you are to be IN-CHARACTER all time, this is an RP MMO. I've been playing this game for... 4 years, joined the forum 3 years ago. I've went through I think 5+ characters now: two DIY yourself characters, a barbaric (but honorable) warrior who died in war, the barbarian's brother, a druid/scholar, and presently, a hobbit cook.
More information!
The game's graphics are, honestly, worse than Runescape. That is probably the only draw back of the game, besides the sometimes weird combat system (Mostly the magic system). Everyone's avatars look the same (Though gender/race differences are shown, along with size/weight/height.), and the combat/crafting system is basically full of descriptive quotes, and floating swords floating above one's head to show that you are fighting.
The staff KNOWS this. They've been working on the infamous/extremely wanted VBU, or very big update. Once this update comes into play, there will be paperdolling- you will be able to dress up your char and not look like all the other male dwarves in your guild. The combat system will be improved, and I think live actions will be displayed. The magic system will be improved, and the long-awaited priest magic system will be put in afterwards. You can look up a thread in the forums with a sneak peak. This update will, 99% sure, come out this year.
Long post is long. It's worth it, though. This game is awesome. "
That was me describing it a few months ago... so now I have 5 years under my belt, and the VBU is still close to come (small admin group- it's hard to revamp the entire game fast). And I retired my hobbit chef and now go about with my hobbit professor/teacher around.
And the actual link: http://illarion.org/general/us_startpage.php

Jury selection in the Barry Bonds perjury trial was supposed to start yesterday. Yeah, that's not going to happen. Ever.
Believe it or not... there was some sort of legal delay! Prosecutors and defense attorneys have asked for more time to argue about pee cups and their wish has been granted so the trial will not start until late July at the earliest. At that point, it will be delayed again and it will go on like this until everyone is dead or Barry Bonds gets elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veteran's Committee, whichever comes first.
The crime that he is accused of committing happened six year ago, by the way. We will never be rid of this.

Samantha Power, President Obama's choice to replace Susan Rice as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, is facing stiff opposition to her appointment from close to 50 former U.S. military leaders and other top ranking officials, according to reports.
The nearly 50 conservative officials opposing Power's nomination gathered at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday morning to voice their opposition.
They have accused her of anti American and anti Israeli behavior.
Power, a native of Dublin who spent her first nine years in Ireland before moving to the U.S. with her mother, is a long-time Obama advisor who was nominated to the high-profile post last month.
However, the officials who are against her appointment recently joined together to write a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The Senate will have to approve her appointment, but those who oppose Power, 42, claim she's not qualified for the job.
"In light of her low regard for our country, her animus towards one of our most important allies, Israel, and her affinity for those who would diminish our sovereignty and strengthen our adversaries, we consider her to be a wholly unacceptable choice for this sensitive post and urge you to reject this nomination," the letter stated.
"Almost since its inception, the United Nations has been dominated by member states, organizations and personalities who share Dr. Power's sentiments. We do not need to add to their number – especially as the representative of the American people – someone who shares their trans-nationalist agenda, with all that implies for our interests and freedoms."
Those who signed the letter – among them former Navy AdmiralJames A. "Ace" Lyons and Army Lieutenant General William Boykin – allege that Power, a married mother of two, harbors an anti-Israel agenda that will infect U.S.-Israeli relations if she wins confirmation to her post.
They also say that she's anti-American and will strengthen world opposition to U.S. policy.
"Samantha Power's attitude that we need to cede our sovereignty to the U.N. is very misguided and is very dangerous as far as I'm concerned," Boykin said. "Maintaining our sovereignty and our pride at being Americans are fundamental to our future."
A former member of the House of Representatives, Republican Allen West of Florida said Power has a "great disdain for our ally, the state of Israel."
"Miss Power is an über-left militant progressive whose previous statements against America and Israel should cause us concerns," he added.
But Power received strong support for her nomination from influential "Washington Post" columnist Dana Milbank, a former Yale classmate.
"I went to college with Power and have spoken with her at various points in the years since. I've known her to be outspoken and brash, but I was unaware that she was un-American," he wrote.
After her nomination was announced, Power received a show of support from former GOP presidential nominee John McCain.
"I believe she is well-qualified for this important position and hope the Senate will move forward on her nomination as soon as possible," he said.

Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state, called for free universal access to AIDS drugs and therapy and insisted this begin by giving antiretroviral drugs to H.I.V.-positive pregnant women. "We cannot continue to tolerate the deaths of so many mothers; we cannot think of thousands of babies as a lost generation," said Cardinal Bertone on June 22, speaking at a conference in Rome on preventing mother-to-child transmission of H.I.V., sponsored by the lay Community of Sant'Egidio. The community runs Dream, a free AIDS prevention and treatment project operating in 10 African nations. Cardinal Bertone said the results of Dream and research by the World Health Organization "confirm that universal access to care is achievable, scientifically proven and economically feasible." According to Sant'Egidio, 60 percent of those living with H.I.V.-AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa in 2010 were women, and AIDS was the leading cause of death in women of childbearing age.
