Massachusetts Republican Senator Scott Brown has introduced legislation to stop insider trading among members of Congress, who are currently thought to be exempt from the practice.
Senator Brown says he was surprised to learn that insider trading by members of Congress, their families, or staff using non-public information gained through their Congressional work is not clearly prohibited by law. Brown testified in Washington D.C. before the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs.
"Trust in Congress is at an all time low and it's more important than ever to have members of Congress affirm that we live by those very same laws that we pass for everyone else in our country."
Brown's legislation, known as the STOCK Act, is limited to active trading. Under its provisions, members and employees of Congress would be prohibited from making any trades based on nonpublic information. They would also have to report any trades over $1,000. The bill is prompted by news reports that a Republican Congressman from Alabama traded on information he received in private briefings at the height of the financial crisis, earning him nearly $30,000. A measure similar to Brown's was introduced by a Democratic Congresswoman from New York. Both would essentially ban lawmakers from using non-public information for buying, selling or trading stocks.

On one of the busiest days of the summer, with events going on all over Red Lodge, citizen volunteers from all around the Red Lodge community came out this past Saturday to show their overwhelming support for trails. Fiftynine volunteers in all showed up to Palisades Campground at 9 a.m., were briefed on the different job crews they could sign on to work, and then spent the rest of the afternoon carving out the new Palisades Trail.
The project came to fruition when the Forest Service announced over the winter that efforts to delineate a foothills trail on Forest Service land on the outskirts of Red Lodge, could go forward. The Beartooth Recreational Trails Association (BRTA), followed along by hiring a trail crew of the Montana Conservation Corps for over a week to cut out the trail laid out by the Forest Service.
The catalyst for the June 8 event, however, was a $1,000 grant sponsored by Pro Cut Lawn Care of Red
Lodge. Brad Hauge, Pro Cut's owner, wanted the money to go towards a community effort that benefits the
outdoors. The Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Foundation (ABWF) applied for the grant in order to put
on a volunteer-based work day to rally the community around their trails. "So many people come to our community, come to live here, because of the outdoor opportunities…and this proposal for a trail-building event was just the right touch," said Hauge about the grant. The A-B Wilderness Foundation organized and advertised the event. David Kallenbach, Executive Director of the ABWF, wanted to try to recreate the success of 'People for Playgrounds', the community-wide effort that produced the kids' playground in a single weekend. "I really thought that when it comes to trails, this community is exceedingly passionate, and that we could draw around 50 volunteers for Saturday's trailwork…it was gratifying that nearly 60 showed up and worked so hard! It was a stunning effort!" Traute Parrie, Beartooth District Ranger, came to volunteer for the day herself, and saw firsthand what was accomplished. "The staff of the Beartooth Ranger District is thrilled with the results, and awed by the power of community to get so much work done."
Brad Hauge brought his own work crews out on a Saturday to volunteer—"What a tremendous collaborative effort—people from Billings, the MCC crew working hard, five Forest Service folks supervising the volunteers, BRTA delivering food and water, and then all the volunteers, working incredibly hard so they could hurry up and start using the trail!" While the trail is not finalized, it is open and able to be used. The Palisades Trail runs 3 miles from the Campground through open meadows, gorgeous Ponderosa woodlands and aspen groves, and comes out at the very end of Fox Road. Black bears have been sighted recently, so travel
with care and bring your bear spray.

"Good Evening, Everybody"
An Interview With Lowell Thomas
August/September 1980 | Volume 31, Issue 5
I suspect my thoughts on that changed from time to time—gold mining, the law, but mainly something to take me to all parts of the world. Looking back I think what I wanted when I went away to college was to get away from my father; out from under his thumb. Not that he was all that hard on me. He was always patient and understanding. I had worked in the gold mines in the summer, and sold newspapers in the gambling halls and to the daughters of joy in the brothels. I guess I thought I'd had enough contact with life that I could get along on my own. That's a temptation nearly every boy has to face. Later, when I returned to Colorado, I found that my two degrees made me eligible to work with a pick and shovel. So I again went to work on a gold mine. Then I had good luck. George Khyner, owner of the Victor Daily Record, remembered me. I had distributed papers and run a folding machine in his press room. Now Khyner asked me to take over as editor. It was a lively twelve-page daily paper. His veteran manager, "Honest John" White, coached me at first. I suppose it was the ideal training, because I had to write half the paper, do the heads, the layout, take the national and foreign news over the telephone from a United Press editor in Denver, handle local news, and even write most of the editorials. At the end of a year or so, and after helping launch another daily paper, I decided I had reached the end of the line. Also I must have figured I needed more education. So I went down to the University of Denver where I got two more degrees and worked on the Denver Times. After the year in Denver, still not certain what I wanted to do, I decided to go on to Chicago and study law. By then I had had more experience with public speaking and knew that could be important, especially if you were a trial lawyer or if you entered politics.
In Chicago, you continued what seems to be a lifelong habit of doing a number of different things simultaneously.
Too many things. A full day's job on a newspaper and law school at night should have been enough. But after I had been at the Chicago-Kent College of Law for only two weeks, the dean called me in and said they had lost the head of their speech department. He asked me to fill in until they could find a replacement, which they never did. As I remember it, I was a year younger than any of the men under me in this night school. It was quite an experience, but I was working so many hours that I tried to get others to do some of it for me. Being with a newspaper made it fairly easy for me to lure prominent lawyers to the law school. One who helped several times was the great trial lawyer, Clarence Darrow.
What was Darrow like?
He was fantastic. A gifted public speaker, as you know. He knew how to get the attention of an audience and then hold it. I remember one night he started off by saying "all lawyers are crooks. " This to a thousand law students. Then he spent the next few minutes proving it, and pointing out how there is good and bad in all of us.
After touring Alaska with a heavy, early-model motion-picture camera, you abruptly decided to give up your schooling and job in Chicago. Why?
Later, after you left Princeton to accept an assignment from members of President Wilson's Cabinet to carry out a mission in Europe, Silas Strawn helped you raise one hundred thousand dollars from eighteen Chicago millionaires to finance the project. Do you believe in luck?
I do indeed. But as we all know luck can be affected by many things—over some of which we may have little or no control. Being at the right spot at the right time, for instance. Or if you are shot at and the bullet goes through your hat and not through your head, that's luck. I had that happen. Perhaps it also helps if, like me, you are a born optimist. Yes, luck is important, and maybe I've had more than my share.

Capital One (COF) unveiled plans on Wednesday to scoop up the U.S. credit card operations of British lender HSBC (HBC) for a premium of about $2.6 billion.
Continue Reading Below
Coupled with its $9 billion cash-and-stock deal to acquire ING Groups U.S. online bank, the transaction represents a serious bulking up for McLean, Va.-based Capital One.
The $32.7 billion bid on Wednesday represents a premium of about $2.6 billion on the businesss assets of $30.4 billion. It also translates to an 8.75% premium to par value of all receivables.
Capital One said it expects the transaction to close in the second quarter of 2012 and boost its 2013 bottom line in the high teens. Return on invested capital is anticipated to exceed 25% in 2013.
The acquisition of HSBC's domestic credit card business is an attractive strategic and financial opportunity in a business we know well," Capital One CEO Richard Fairbank said in a statement. "Adding the HSBC card business to our own will enhance our credit card franchise and accelerate our achievement of a leadership position in retail card partnerships.
Capital One said it plans to incur restructuring costs of $420 million, but sees cost synergies of about $350 million.

Shareholders applauded the deal, bidding Capital Ones stock 1.32% higher to $41.36 ahead of the opening bell, compared with a steep drop in the premarkets.
Morgan Stanley (MS), Centerview Partners and The Kessler Group acted as financial advisers to Capital One.

The cottage light pricks inky gloom,
Where ghosts and forest shadows loom.
The stumbling stranger filled with fear,
To make the menace disappear,
Seeks out the comfort of the room.
The barn owl's screech brings sense of doom,
And echoes through the murky coombe.*
The lost soul starts and hurries near
The cottage light.
His icy hands, cold as the tomb,
Grab greedily the tempting shroom.**
He bolts it it down and does not hear
The voice now whispering in his ear,
Nor sees the spectral shape consume
The cottage light.

I like the challenge of wrting to a form and this week I tried a rondeau. This is an old French lyric form containing a refrain. It has fifteen lines, two of which are the repeated one line refrain. The refrain is usually the first phrase of the first line (but may only be one or two words).
Each line has eight syllables and there are three stanzas of different length: the first has five lines, the second four and the third six.
There are only two rhyming sounds throughout the poem.
The rhyme scheme is as follows (R denotes refrain): the first stanza : a, a, b, b, a; the second stanza: a, a, b, R and the third stanza: a, a, b, b, a, R.

New Compound Could Protect Brain Cells, Fight Neurodegenerative Diseases

Edward R. Biehl, co-discoverer of the HSB-13 compound
(Source: vvoice.vo.llnwd.net)
HSB-13 compound could halt diseases like Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's
Southern Methodist University (SMU)
University of Texas at Dallas
researchers have found hope for those suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's through the discovery of
a group of molecules
which could help protect the brain.
Edward R. Biehl, study leader and a synthetic organic chemist at SMU, and Santosh R. D'Mello, co-author of the study and a biology professor at UT Dallas, have developed the compounds in an effort to halt the onset of nerve-degenerative diseases and relieve symptoms.
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and and Huntington's are neurodegenerative diseases in the central nervous system, and afflict more than five million Americans (mainly senior citizens). These diseases are caused by the immoderate loss of neurons in an area of the mid-brain, which leads to a decline in motor skills, such as walking and speaking, as well as
memory loss
and behavior problems.
Previous treatments cannot halt or reverse these types of nerve-degenerative diseases. They only relieve symptoms, and sometimes even fail at that due to the severe side effects of these medications.
But now, Biehl and D'Mello have worked together to develop compounds that could potentially protect the brain from nerve-degenerative diseases. They came upon this discovery when developing synthetic chemicals that contained a class of heterocyclic organic compounds. One particular compound in the heterocyclic class proved to be
protective of neurons
in tissue culture models. Furthermore, this same compound, named HSB-13, has also proven to be effective in fighting neurodegenerative diseases in animal models.
"Our compounds protect against neurodegeneration in mice," said Biehl. "Given successful development of the compounds into drug therapies, they would serve as an effective treatment for patients with degenerative brain diseases."
HSB-13 not only decreased degeneration in the forebrain, but also corrected
behavioral problems
. It has also proved to be nontoxic while remaining "extremely potent."
Biotechnology and therapeutics company EncephRx, which is based in Dallas, is looking to create drug therapies based on this new class of compounds. The company was granted worldwide license to the "jointly owned compounds," and when the research is complete, EncephRx's pharmaceuticals made of these small compounds will be the first therapeutic tools capable of protecting brain cells and keeping them from dying.
"Additional research needs to be done, but these compounds have the potential for stopping or slowing the relentless loss of brain cells in diseases such as
and Parkinson's," said D'Mello. "The protective effect that they display in tissue culture and animal models of neurodegenerative disease provides strong evidence of their promise as drugs to treat neurodegenerative disorders."

Geology Student Helps National Geographic Talk about African Rifts
Cutaway showing the volcanic impact on the African Rift. Image courtesy of National Geographic Magazine.
December 7, 2011—
When National Geographic needed some explanation about the Albertine Rift, a geological formation in Africa, they came to a Michigan Technological University graduate student. Again.
It's the second time that Alex Guth, PhD student in geology, has been tapped by the world-famous magazine to offer geological expertise in Kenya and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
National Geographic sought an answer to why such a geological rift exists and its impact on the local people—a people in crisis—and the delicate ecosystem that coexists.
Guth's expertise includes the rift valley and its extremes in topography caused by the East African Rift System, where the Nubian plate is moving west away from the Somalian plate.
"There are mountain ranges with a mountain forest and a rain forest extremely close by," she says. "The extreme topography, caused by the rift, impacts the animals. They can't move, since the area around them won't sustain them."
The same can be said of the people, many of whom live in a densely populated region near the city of Goma and Lake Kivu, which is poisoned by volcanic gasses.
"And the fishing in nearby Lake Albert can't sustain the population, which helps fuel conflict," Guth says.
That conflict, between the Bashali people in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and invading Tutsi, Hutu, and Hunde, has become so intense that other research teams have left early.
"They were murdering women, specifically," Guth says, "and recent elections have made the future 'iffy' at best. Intertribal conflicts, and now terrorism—there was a bombing in Nairobi Monday—make the work there even more dangerous."
The people initially moved to the valley because of the fertile land, but they have over-logged it, and the subsequent population boom created a land shortage, according to the National Geographic article, "Africa's Albertine Rift," which appeared in the November 2011 issue.
The magazine came to Guth for the geologic story, and she chose to tell them about the evolution of the rift valley and the "intense area," replete with volcanoes, one of which destroyed great parts of Goma.
"Working with them was interesting," she says. "My research actually appears on a poster that is in the magazine, and they also wanted me to look at definitions they had used for a children's edition of the magazine, for quality control."
She also had to do a little educating of the National Geographic writers.
"They kept saying the mantle was 'fluid,' which is not accurate," she says.
Guth hopes to return to do more research for her dissertation, opting for Kenya, where the real focus of her work exists.

by Philip Roth Cape pounds 16.99
"In his conversation, as in his brother's, there was no invisible line of propriety observed and there were no conventional taboos. You could stir together anything and everything: sports, politics, history, literature, reckless opinionating, polemical quotation, idealistic sentiment, moral rectitude ... There was something marvellously bracing about it, a different and dangerous world, demanding, straightforward, aggressive, free from the need to please."
T hese two brothers, Murray and Ira Ringold, who form the centre of I Married a Communist, are human embodiments of Roth's narrative ideal. Their lives and their attitudes represent a manifesto for Roth's writing - for the liberating powers of energy, aggression and directness, and for unapologetically noisy Jewishness. They almost seem closer to Philip Roth's heart than his own alter-ego, Nathan Zuckerman, who ostensibly narrates this novel.
Nathan Zuckerman first appeared in Roth's The Ghost Writer 19 years ago. He was subsequently at the heart of a trilogy, completed by Zuckerman Unbound and The Anatomy Lesson, which deals with Zuckerman's transformation from a young, struggling writer, through a literary success which comes "so suddenly and on such a scale, it was as baffling as a misfortune", to an older, iller life as a successful writer. Zuckerman has appeared intermittently in Roth's fiction ever since, his life shadowing Roth's so closely that his presence latterly feels more than ever like Roth himself is inhabiting his novels.
Although Nathan Zuckerman is the narrator of I Married a Communist, he plays only a shadowy role in the book, since the novel almost entirely consists of a story within a story told to Nathan by his former high-school teacher Murray Ringold, detailing the life of Ira Ringold, Murray's brother, a former mentor of Nathan's as a young man.
Ira Ringold's life story is an epic, politically emblematic tale of mid- century American history. A Jewish working-class boy who runs away from his family without completing an education, he takes various blue-collar jobs around America, has a spell in the army, then becomes a political activist on the fringes of Communist activity. He subsequently becomes famous as an Abraham Lincoln impersonator, which in turn transforms him into a radio star. He represents an ideal of American manhood: the intellectual who has worked down a mine; the political idealist who knows how to hit a baseball; the self-made man who got rich without ever compromising.
He marries into high society, a choice which marks the chief turning- point in his life. His wife, the silent-movie star Eve Frame (born Chava Fromkin) is utterly unsuitable and their marriage flounders, causing her to turn on him with disastrous results. His ultimate ruination comes with the publication, in the midst of the McCarthyite witch-hunts, of "I Married a Communist", Eve's vindictive and almost entirely untruthful expose of their marriage.
Although this novel is in no sense autobiographical, one cannot help feeling that Roth's choice of title is deeply personal and pointed. Eve Frame is a weak, neurotic and vastly unsympathetic character, by no means the protagonist of the novel. By promoting the title of her memoir to the cover page of the book, Roth provides her with a curiously central status. In doing this, he stirs up more than a hint of a connection between Eve's betrayal of her husband, and the expose of Roth's own marriage by his ex-wife, the actress Claire Bloom, which was entitled Leaving A Doll's House, but could just as easily have been called I Married a Bastard. It reads as though, through Eve Frame (the perfect name for a vacuous actress), Roth is getting his own back, in a subtle but devastating way.
Aside from this strange and slightly chilling resonance, which could easily have slipped by unnoticed were it not for the novel's title, this work deepens Roth's progress into less personal territory. A tale of giant antagonisms acted out on an ambitious historical canvas, this novel satisfies on every level. The sheer analytical energy which Roth for so long exercised on himself is more than ever turning outwards, looking at the big issues of 20th-century America, consummately mingled with the big issues of quotidian life.
This is a novel of aesthetics versus politics; belief versus compromise; stepfather versus stepdaughter; success versus honesty; Communists versus McCarthyites; men versus women; Manhattan versus Newark; the personal versus the ideological. The grand and the mundane are inextricable in this novel, with neither trivialising the other. It is a novel of ideas, but Roth is aware that ideas only live through people. Human weakness and ideological weakness are the same thing in this novel - as in life.
As fascinating on its human as its historico-political level, in this achievement alone joins the tiny elite of genuinely successful political novels. Perhaps this is because, despite its historical setting, this is very much a work of the Nineties in that it is essentially a post-political novel. Through charting America from the Thirties to the Fifties, Roth traces the divorce of ideology from politics and pins down the McCarthy era as "inaugurating the post-war triumph of gossip as the unifying credo of the world's oldest democratic republic". He has traced a notion which reached its apogee this summer back to a precise point in American history. Like all great historical novels, I Married a Communist resonates as much with the now as the then.
In dealing with this idea, however, Roth reaches no simplistic conclusions. He rejects the easy nostalgia common to narratives of political struggle. While he does chart the victory of gossip over ideas, the novel is not a lament for the end of politics. Ira Ringold's political struggles are far from romanticised and Roth refuses to allow him much nobility in his destruction at the hands of McCarthy. The heroism present in Arthur Miller's writings on this subject is utterly absent here. Ira's political battles ultimately come across as foolish. His brother says of him that "when you decide to contribute your personal problem to an ideology's agenda, everything that is personal is squeezed out and discarded and all that remains is what is useful to the ideology". Ultimately, Communism is as cruel to Ira Ringold as his wife was. Whole-hearted political commitment, Roth suggests, is like a bad marriage. With Eve Frame, as with politics, Ira finds himself in an addictively servile relationship which creates ever deeper blindness to the love-object's flaws. In both cases Ira is the victim but, as ever, Roth is harsh with his victims. Ira is simply a powerful, impressive, brave man who made mistakes - obvious mistakes - and paid for them.
While bemoaning the defeat of ideology as a political weapon, Roth is equally sharp on the way in which ideologies create slaves out of their subjects. This gripping, abstract debate is conducted within the pages of a novel which also crackles and thrills as a domestic narrative. It is hard to imagine a better novel coming out of America this year, and impossible to imagine one coming out of Britain.

Southampton twice surrendered the lead in an entertaining 2-2 draw with Stoke City at St Mary's Stadium on Saturday.
Goals from Rickie Lambert and Steven Davis put the home side ahead, but the club was pegged back on each occasion through Peter Odemwingie's maiden strike for Stoke and Peter Crouch's close-range effort shortly before halftime.
Lambert delighted the home fans on six minutes when he bent home a peach of a free kick from an acute angle, only for Odemwingie to level after a superb through ball from Charlie Adam.
In a manic end to the opening half, Southampton retook the lead in bizarre circumstances when a cross from Davis deceived everyone and went into the far corner, but Stoke hit back immediately with Crouch scoring from a corner.
Southampton created the better opportunities in the second half, but Stoke held firm to claim a rare point on its travels.
The result extends Southampton's unbeaten run to seven matches in all competitions, while Stoke continues to search for a second away league win this term.
The home side pressed right from the off and was swiftly rewarded with the opening goal.
Adam was penalized for handball on the left edge of the penalty area, and Lambert made him pay by bending a superb free kick into the far top corner.
Despite that early setback, Stoke responded in a positive manner, albeit without initially threatening Artur Boruc.
A lack of clear-cut chances for the visiting side nearly cost it on 28 minutes when Davis led a swift breakaway and played in Nathaniel Clyne, who was denied by a good stop from Asmir Begovic.
That miss was punished as Stoke leveled on 38 minutes.
Odemwingie latched onto Adam's defense-splitting pass and kept his composure to open his account for the club with a first-time shot past Boruc.
Southampton was back in the lead three minutes later, as Davis' cross from the left missed everyone and bounced into the far corner.
Yet there was time for one last twist before the interval as Crouch bundled home Adam's 44th-minute corner.
The home side started the second half in a typically fluid manner and Jay Rodriguez should have done better with a free header from Davis' corner on 50 minutes.
Southampton continued to push forward, but Ryan Shawcross typified Stoke's resilience by rushing to block a shot from Lambert on the edge of the box.
As the game entered its closing stages, Southampton controlled possession and Morgan Schneiderlin almost found the winner when he side-footed into the side netting at the back post with seven minutes remaining.

Coin Storage and Key Holder
Convenient key and coin storage.
The Coin Storage Bank combines a simple form, practicality, and problem-solving into one beautiful design.
When you come home, place your keys on the tray along with any loose change. The coins will automatically slide down into the storage bank and your keys (and any other larger items) will remain atop the tray and easy to find again later!
Your loose change can be retrieved by pulling the wooden base and the ceramic storage tray apart.
Features & specs
- Dimensions: 5.4" diameter x 2.8"
- Materials: ceramic and wood
Watch our Coin Storage and Key Holder video
Practical, stylish, and clever
The Coin Storage Bank is devilishly simple, yet provides a single ingenious solution to a pair of annoying problems: "where are my keys?" and "what should I do with the change in my pocket?"
With the Coin Storage Bank, you'll always know where to find your keys. And when you come home, you can empty your pockets onto the dish and quickly sift the coins into the storage bank. Brilliant!
High-quality construction
When it's time to bust into your Coin Storage Bank and convert some of your loose change into cash for Gummy Mustaches, simply pry the wood base off the ceramic bank using your fingers. Its thick rubber seal is tight, but comes off easily with a bit of effort.

Video game music
Video game music is any musical instruments or soundtrack and background music found in video games. It can be from just a synthesizer tune to an orchestral piece. The older a game is, the simpler the music will be. In recent times, many games have had complex soundtracks similar to those of movies.
Interactive soundtracks in a video game is music changing into different sounds, depending on what the player does. It is also common for a video game soundtrack to be sold in stores or performed in concerts.[1] Music is very important to gameplay.
There are many awards for composers who create the music in a video game. Awards available are from the Ivor Novello Awards, Spike Video Game Awards, Grammy Awards, International Film Music Critics Association, Inside Gaming and the MTV Video Music Awards.

Aloha everyone! I went to see Brave today. Let's just say I wasted my money. I LOVED the music and the beginning of the movie with Merida as a little girl was cute. But everything else disappointed me. This is one movie I would have rather seen if someone had treated me. To make matters worse, the only showing I could see was in 3D and I can't do 3D because of my vision problem. I was definitely not impressed.

Blues legend, grammy winner and highly influential guitarist Hubert Sumlin died Sunday of heart failure.
Sumlin is best known as sideman for fellow blues legend Howlin' Wolf with whom Sumlin played from 1953 until The Wolf's death in 1976.
The clear, biting tone and furious spurts of notes that blues fans know well on classic Howlin' Wolf tracks such as "Spoonful," "Smokestack Lightning," "Wang Dang Doodle," "Back Door Man" and "I Asked for Water (She Gave Me Gasoline)," was Sumlin's signature and a big influence on many of the blues rock/classic rock guitar gods of the 70s such as Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton.
The Greenwood, Mississipi native born in 1931, famously bought his first guitar for $6 and met Howlin Wolf as a teenager while playing outside of the club Wolf was playing. Later Wolf invited him up north to play second guitar, but Sumlin soon took over the lead spot.
After Howlin' Wolf's death, Sumlin continued to play with members of the band and began releasing solo records the most recent of which was the Grammy nominated (his fourth nomination) About Them Shoes from 2004 featuring Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Levon Helm, James Cotton and others.
Sumlin had one of his lungs removed in 2004 but kept touring up until his death.
Sumlin is a member of the Blues Hall of Fame and has one multiple blues awards but for some reason is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's reconfigured sideman category now called the "Award for Musical Excellence."'
That oversight will probably be corrected in the next few years.
Here's some Sumlin' in his spot beside Howlin' Wolf
and here's "Lil Hubert" with Sunnyland Slim and Willie Dixon on bass
Here's Hubert rockin' an awesomely flowery 1970's era shirt talking about life with Howlin' Wolf

The phrase I'm a Pelicans fan still sounds odd to me.
some people who are diehard NBA fans just don't want to accept the truth or they just don't understand basic economics. they are usually the same people who act as if the pathetic fan support and attendance our local Hornets/Pelicans have consistently received since day one of being in NOLA is no big deal either.

no you haven't. you've just mocked and attacked me or anyone who dares to bring it up. I'm just posting the facts about it. I want the team to succeed here, but it makes me cringe to hear the lame excuses that some have for the pathetic fan support. I've actually heard some idiots on the Hornets board blame poor attendance on "high school football games" being played at the same time. its those types of excuses that 90% of other sports teams fan bases would laugh out the room.

It's a good view from the top.
And while Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) is familiar with that view, it now also knows a little more about the bottom. But unsurprisingly, the mobile phone giant prefers the former, and it is working on a new global brand strategy that it hopes will help it achieve just that.
While Nokia used to be a household name, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung Electronics now roll a little easier off the tongue. In recent years, the global communications company has faced significant sales and market share slips that have effectively ousted it from its mobile phone throne. But luckily for Nokia, it now has a lot less to lose, and it is counting on its expanded relationship with the creative agency, JWT, to help it resurrect success.
And the company is not only committed to welcoming renewed domestic success, but it also wants to put more focus on its marketing efforts globally. That's also in line with JWT's vision for Nokia as it plans to include a global brand component for the company. Nokia CMO Tuula Rytila explains, "The overarching goal is to reignite the Nokia brand, bringing meaning, relevancy and emotion to the brand. Whatever messages we create need to resonate in the U.S., Europe, and emerging markets like China and India."
While Nokia used to collaborate with its creative AOR Wieden & Kennedy, the two parties have since split off on account of a decision made by former marketing chief Jerri Devard. But now that Devard, too, is out of the picture, change is on the horizon. Nokia's delegation of its marketing duties to JWT along with a number of small agencies reflects one of many new decisions that the company's leadership restructuring is responsible for. Rytila was appointed to the position of CMO last summer, and the roles of executive VP of Mobile Phones and executive VP of Markets were also changed.
Now, as Rytila takes the lead, she'll reconfigure Nokia's creative objectives. The mobile phone giant used to put a premium on consumer awareness, but it now wants to work on improving consumer confidence, ensuring its customers of its products' capability in the retail environment.

Report: Unlikely Rob Gronkowski will be ready for Week 1 |
08.19.13 at 4:40 pm ET |
It's "not realistic" for Rob Gronkowski to be back in time for the start of the 2013 regular season, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The tight end, who has undergone multiple surgeries this offseason on his forearm and back, has been with the team over the course of training camp, but has not suited up. Bcause he hasn't participated in practice, the Patriots do have the option of placing him on the physically unable to perform list, but would then lose him for at least the first six weeks of the regular season (but still allow them to use the open spot on the 53-man roster).
The 24-year-old Gronkowski played in 11 games last season and caught 55 passes for 790 yards and 11 touchdowns.

The Returned
Sun Jul 28, 9-10pm, C4
Series one, episode eight
It's been established that leaving this unnamed, undead French village isn't easy. So might we have a basic 'Lord of the Flies' scenario here, as this captivating series reaches its end? Predictably, it's not quite that simple – too many people have a foot in both camps. However, the village is beginning to split, even as it coalesces around the Helping Hand organisation. Clearly, there are wider allegories to be read into this suspicious, fearful new apartheid.
The result is a climax that's simultaneously sinister, ugly and strangely ceremonial. Oh, and if it doesn't exactly explain where we've been, it does give a fairly good idea of where we might be going. This series has sustained its mysteries with real poise and subtlety. We can't wait for the next helping, due next year.

You say you want her to know what Touma does, so do you want her into the story or not? You can't have it both ways because it has to start some where.

The fact is that the whole of Academy City is ignorant. And you can't blame them. Heck, even Touma was skeptical of the whole magic thing until Innocentius tried bashing his face in. When you are ingrained in something all your life, suddenly accepting a change is difficult. And Mikoto does, in fact, realize that Touma is in deeper shit than she originally realized in Volume 16, I think. It's just that she was conflicted with herself on why exactly she would care about him so much that she's frozen with indecision. It's an acceptable thing. One could argue about her significance to the plot but she's proven her guts - When Touma's in trouble, she rushes over to Russia without a second thought, stops a potential nuclear fallout and attempts to fly up there to rescue him personally. What did Lessar do? Stand around and gape. Her appearances only seem forced because she sometimes appears out of nowhere... but Touma actually gives a viable reason for her being there. She's his tutor, she's the most powerful electromaster and thus, her knowledge regarding electronics is top-notch. I understand the massive wanking that some people force down other people's throats but I would like to ask some understanding rather than bashing her character and appearance. Heck, at this rate, you might as well say that Index shouldn't be there because she doesn't do anything except biting Touma and providing exposition. |

One thing for sure is that it is not within my power to decide whether I want to see her in Index or not. I can still see her around and go "Her again?" but alas, I'm not Kamachi. I'll be looking forward to seeing how far "I'll fight too" goes for her in NT3.

Quite a lot of interesting information to take in. I like most of what I've heard so far concerning NT2.
Regarding the picture of Radiosonde - was that cone also part of the structure or was it due to Kanzaki? Also, while I can see what might have brought 'Railgun Hell' on (Touma should really have known better), was it a before-after with a brief description, or description as it happened? |

Quite honestly I see Misaka as a well done character all in all she stays true to her dementor, she actually acts like a person that age (outside picking on poor skill outs harashing others). Really you want her to have a reason? honestly outside Touma theres no reason for her to be involved so far, as someone mention people are grounded to a reality and in the espers case they don't really belive in occult stuff even accelerator that so far was the most open minded esper took a bit to actually belive in those things.
I have more issues with Itsuwa been forced on the main plot she is basically everywhere when Touma needs a magician, avigon? really of 50 possible Akamatsu there it has to be Itsuwa. |

As for Mikoto, my complaint isn't about people hating it as much as they're complaining about her being inserted into the main story by saying it's forced progression. Really? How could it be forced progression finally inserting a "major" character that's been around since the beginning into the main plot, and that's without reading the flow leading to the event yet. It's fair to hate on a character, but why all the hate of her being inserted into the story when there's nothing wrong about it considering she went to Russia before and face danger just for being able to fight with Kamijou. |

It's still better than the condensed wreak that was Index 2 (I mean, only a few of them had the same kind of impact as Railgun in any sense). But really, I'm comparing the two series. Index had a lot of potential wasted, unlike Railgun, and that gave the hardcores enough ammo to ram through with their zealous beliefs.

I wake up and come here, expecting to see at least a few more spoilers, but it's another Mikoto argument?
When did Mikoto turn into Matou Sakura? My opinion on the matter is that Mikoto was bound to get involved in Touma's battles a long time ago. This is simply a natural progression of everything that's happened so far. Quote:

Well, the Japanese>Chinese translators have already translated the prologue of NT2 now. Not going to use it though.
And I failed in my quest to get NT2. Next attempt will be on 14/8 (or 8/14 if you like), since I'm really busy after all the National Day stuff (Army)...

@ Teh_Ping - Too bad, but good luck next time.
_____ Anyway, I would like to add that some people here make it sound like Kamachi is sacrificing the structure of his story just to please the fans by including more of Mikoto. Have you thought that maybe Kamachi likes her too, as well as many of his other characters?, but since she's had good reception then he decided to include more of her in the story. Possibly slowly precisely so as not to affect what he had already thought of. |

Kamachi already changed the structure since after vol. 2, remember? Don't you think that somehow affects the series? Railgun has Mikoto while Index has... Touma, Accel, Mikoto, Hamazura and growing load of characters.... and? Somehow I've finally realized why serenade_beta refers to Index as In-something-san, etc... . Even if some people has a dislike for the titular character Louise from ZnT, Shana from SnS, etc, their respective authors have managed to keep their titular characters a main characters even I admit despite not liking some of them I have a respect for them. A series which doesn't do so will slowly reveal its weakness by adding more and more characters but the supposed titulars in order to make up for those points. Quote:

Itsuwa, Kanzaki, Agnesse and Orsola, among others, have sections that have little to do with the main plot, and I don't see people complaining about that (and they shouldn't, those also don't absorb that much space either.) I think it's just wrong to blame every storytelling mistake to the inclusion of Mikoto. Quote:
