This past week's stock market performance shocked many investors who have grown accustomed to steady gains for stocks — week in, week out.
The combined drop of nearly 400 points for the Dow Jones Industrial Average over the past two trading sessions (July 31-Aug. 1) led the stock market to its worst weekly performance since January.
This result prompted some investors to ask: Is this the start of a major correction, or just another in the long line of buying opportunities?
Investors have certainly been rewarded over the past two years plus when they have assumed the risk of stepping into stocks each time we have seen more than a 1 percent correction in the overall stock market. Stocks have not suffered a 10 percent or greater correction for well more than two years. This trend has fostered an extreme, and some would say dangerous, level of complacency with investors.
As we have traveled deeper into the bull market, the "big money" institutional investors running mutual funds, hedge funds, pension plans, private equity funds and the like, have been pulling money out of stocks, while the smaller investor has continued to buy.
The most recent survey of advisors shows a bullish percentage of 56 percent. Typically, a high reading on this survey is an indication that a correction is more likely, if other factors are also present, such as divergences among the market leadership (we are definitely seeing this today), and the ratio of new highs to new lows goes down, even as stock continue to make new highs.
Small Caps in a RUT
The Russell 2000 (symbol RUT) is down significantly from where it began 2014, closing Friday at 1,115, down 50 points year-to-date, or 4.2 percent. More than $6 billion flowed out of high-yield (junk) bonds in July alone. These two segments of the market tend to be more sensitive to market directional changes, and are leading indicators (they more first) when there is a major change in market direction.
Certainly there were drivers that could help explain why last week's market performance was poor: Argentina officially defaulted on some of its bonds after negotiations with some hold-out hedge funds collapsed, prompting Standard & Poor'sto downgrade these bonds to default status; tensions rose significantly in the Russia/Ukraine situation after new sanctions were announced; tensions between Israel and Palestine spiked; the Fed meeting failed to give us any clear direction on the timing of interest rate increases; and the employment data were a bit disappointing (although bad news is good news — sort of — when it comes to weaker employment data because it gives the Fed more flexibility with regard to the timing of future rate increases).
But none of this can really effectively explain why stocks got hit so hard Thursday and Friday. What can explain this market action is the fact that stocks are grossly overvalued by any measure. When stocks are overvalued, as I have written in severalprevious columns, anything, even something relatively insignificant, can trigger a market sell-off.
That is exactly what we are seeing with the current market environment — stocks are very expensive, so the least little thing can spark selling as nervous investors run for the exits to try and lock in the gains they have made, and avoid losing those gains.
Another key fact about the current stock market level (bubble) is that we have a significant percentage of investors holding stocks right now who are not really stock investors. Those investors who would normally buy bonds, real estate and other investments are holding stocks because stocks are the only game in town.
These investors simply cannot generate the returns they need/expect from other asset classes (like bonds), due to factors such as historically low interest rates, the difficulty in getting loans (for real estate), etc. As a result, these investors are reluctant stock investors who really are not suitable to own stocks, and they will be the first to jump ship if there is a slightest sign of a major correction.
As we enter August, and a new month of trading for stocks, it will be interesting to see if investors once again see the recent slide in stocks as a buying opportunity. We have seen 27 new highs set by the S&P 500 so far in 2014. Will we see number 28?
It is possible, but each time the market pushes up to new highs, valuations get stretched even further, placing the market in an even higher degree of peril. The healthiest thing for the market right now would be for it to have a 10 percent to 15 percent correction. Were this to occur, most would feel that valuations were once again attractive enough to invest, and we could see a further advance, possibly to new, all-time highs.
If we do not see a correction in the very near-term, my feeling is that in the September to October time frame, stocks will experience a much larger correction or crash, with at least a 20 percent drop. In fact, 20 percent could look like the market getting off lightly, given some of the historical drops we have seen during the September/October time-period historically.
This week's action will be telling — if we can stabilize early this week, stocks have a good chance of a rally back to or near all-time highs. If stocks continue to slide, I would expect panic to set in, and to see a sizable drop for stocks.

Hospice leaders are, for the most part, encouraged by the move to explore a Medicare Advantage (MA) carve-in for hospice through an expanded demonstration. But several questions remain, they caution, with the bulk of them focusing on whether the hospice benefit could somehow be diluted or lessened.

FISA Non Sequiturs
Julian Sanchez notes this absurd post at The Corner about the Supreme Court's refusal to review a decision of the Sixth Circuit ruling that the ACLU lacked standing to sue the NSA over the president's warrantless wiretapping program. Andy McCarthy thinks that...
This underscores that the President had constitutional authority to order warrantless surveillance; that the cooperating telecoms were not only being patriotic but exercising sound judgment when they complied with requests for assistance; and that the House Democrats are acting reprehensibly by refusing to consider the intelligence reform bill passed overwhelmingly in the Senate.
Julian is right to call this an insane non sequitur. The amazing thing is the number of levels on which it's nonsensical. Let me see if I can count them.
In the first place, the Supreme Court gets thousands of appeals every year, and only accepts a few dozen of them. So the Supreme Court declining to hear a case, in and of itself, tells us absolutely nothing about the merits of the case. It simply suggests that the justices had other cases they were more interested in hearing.
Second, the Sixth Circuit decision the Supreme Court allowed to stand didn't address the merits of the ACLU's lawsuit—i.e. the legality of the so-called Terrorist Surveillance Program—either. Rather, the Sixth Circuit held that because the plaintiffs couldn't prove that they personally had been spied upon, they lacked standing to bring the lawsuit. This has absolutely nothing to do with whether the program is legal or constitutional.
Third, the telecoms were not a party to this lawsuit at all, so I'm baffled as to how it could have any implications for whether what they did was legal. The legality of the program and the legality of the telecoms' participation in it are distinct questions. One could perfectly well argue that the program was legal but the telecoms' participation in it was not, or vice versa. So the fact that a lawsuit against the government failed tells us nothing about whether the lawsuits against the telecoms will succeed.
Fourth, the lawsuits that have been filed against the telecoms are different in important respects from this decision. The EFF suit against AT&T, for example, is based on specific evidence that AT&T is diverting traffic from its fiber-optic network into a secret room controlled by the NSA. This is the kind of concrete evidence that was missing from the ACLU v. NSA case.
Finally, and most obviously, none of this has anything to do with the merits of the competing House and Senate FISA reform bills, or with any ulterior motives Democrats might have. And indeed, if McCarthy is right that all of the lawsuits are groundless, then it's a little bit of a mystery why he's so anxious for telecom immunity. If the telecoms didn't break the law, or if the law they broke was unconstitutional, then they should be able to make that argument in court. It's only if their arguments aren't likely to stand up in court that immunity becomes important.

At Local 162's general membership meeting on Sunday, November 4, attorney James Marsh educated members on the rights of worker's when they are hurt on-the-job. Marsh is no stranger to Local 162 members as his legal focus is workers' compensation cases. He has represented worker's in numerous industries throughout the Portland area for over 30 years. Including Local 162 members working at UPS, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Sysco, Hydro, and numerous other Teamster companies. Marsh covered topics such as how to report an injury, the process for selecting a physician, the appeals process and other general worker's rights under workers' compensation laws. Marsh encouraged anyone who is hurt on-the-job to contact an attorney who specializes in workers' compensation.
We want to thank him for coming out to our monthly meeting. He answered numerous questions from the podium and made himself available after the meeting to discuss individual concerns. If anyone would like to contact James Marsh, he can be reached at 503-221-0611.

As you know, we are always looking for ways in which we can 'put something back' into the local community especially when it comes to helping and inspiring young people.
We were recently contacted by Friends of the Blake School Association who run fundraising activities for the PTA at the Blake School in Witney.
They are currently raising pre-Christmas funds by helping the children to design cards which will be printed and, along with printed mugs, sold to family and friends.
We were asked if we could help out by supplying carrier-bags that the cards and mugs could be taken home in. The school explained that as they have Eco status the bags would need to be 'green', with handles and strong enough to carry the mugs… No Problem!
Our Polycomp checkout bags were perfect for the job and we were more than happy to let the school have some for free.
Sharon Wise from the fundraising association, said, "The Friends of the Blake CE Primary School in Cogges are thrilled at the kind donation of 2,000 Polycomp bags, this will help us with our annual Christmas Card Project. Each child designs a Christmas card and the image is then sent to a printing company, each child has a free sample card to keep and the chance to order more cards, gift tags and mugs, who can resist a reindeer hand print from your little one! Last year the Friends made £600 profit and have every expectation of exceeding that this year. Once again thank you to all at Polythene UK for your support!"

Multiple section views can be quickly created along a drawing view. Select Insert > Drawing View > Removed Section to create "slices" along a drawing view.
The section views are placed right next the parent view and there can be multiple cross sections around the parent, very similar to the placement of a projected view.
There are two alignment types: Automatic and Manual.
"Automatic" shows a preview of the cutting line before the slice is created; this line can be re–orientated with your mouse.
"Manual" alignment type has you still select the two edges, but then a point appears on each of the two selected edges. The two large dots control the orientation of the cutting line angle. It is little more sensitive using the points compared to the "Automatic" option to get the desired orientation, but it gives more control of the cutting section.
Both line placement options can edit the original cutting line used to create the slice, just like a normal section view, using the "Edit Cutting Line" option. Just right mouse button over "Removed Section View" in the graphics area or in the Feature Manager Design Tree to get to that option.
This new type of section view can take up less space on a drawing than a regular section view. It is good for showing multiple cross sections of loft and boundary types of geometry.

Andy Sturgeon is still, at the age of 44, considered one of garden design's young turks. His approach is anything but traditional, as is plain from his website - stuffed with gleaming combinations of sculpture and foliage - and the wall of his Brighton office where photographs of his medal-winning designs are on display.
Looking along the line from the first silver-gilt medal at Chelsea in 2001 to the run of four golds from 2005-2008, his increasing confidence shines through.
From tropical plants in a mock-colonial setting at Hampton Court in 1998, he has progressed to bold abstract ideas.
There's a jaw-dropping pond featuring mysterious square holes in the water, like negative stepping stones.
"I dyed the water black, then installed metal boxes at water level with pumps at the bottom," he reveals. His 2008 gold-winning Chelsea garden for Cancer Research involved a wall of metal thought-bubbles.
And this year? "I've got a model," he says, turning towards a long thin polystyrene rectangle onto which bits of plants have been glued. It's impossible at this stage to get much of an impression of anything except the main sculptural feature: three metal walls.
"I often start with one idea," he says, "in this case metal screens that block off and open up vistas as you pass down the garden. I'm interested in the idea of life taking you down different paths.
As for the planting, the challenge is to marry plants from abroad - shrubs from dry areas including the Mediterranean - with the English garden plants, so that you get an exotic atmosphere that feels like somewhere else, but nowhere in particular."
We will have to wait until May to see the end product, but Sturgeon can be trusted to deliver something interesting.
"He's never afraid to be adventurous, to try new things and materials; he's very tuned in to making modern, sophisticated living spaces," says Tom Stuart-Smith, whose Daily Telegraph garden won best-in-show at Chelsea in 2006.
"Andy can be fabulously, wonderfully original," agrees The Daily Telegraph gardening columnist Stephen Lacey. "His 2007 Chelsea garden featured a fantastic parabola that wound itself over amazing planting."
Even the RHS joined in the chorus of praise, commenting on the oak structure that swam through the air, as well as in and out of plants: "Rarely has Chelsea seen a combination work so successfully," it said.
Sturgeon's previous coups will be hard acts to follow, but he appears a man not easily panicked, still ready to laugh, despite recent personal tragedy.
Sarah, his partner of many years, died suddenly last June of a heart defect, leaving him with three small children. When they went back to school in September, he returned to work and now, on the design front at least, it is business as usual.
He has a handful of commissions, including a 14-acre garden at Fulham Palace, to keep him and his team of four busy.
Garden design was not a career he envisaged while growing up in Surrey. His father, a bank manager, and his mother, who ran a sweet shop, expected their four children to help with pruning and apple-picking, but at Kingston Grammar School, when he asked to study O-level art, the response was: "Why would you want to do that?"
He left with bad A-levels, a plan to go into the Army that soon evaporated, and started work with his elder brother, Neil, a landscape constructor.
One of the gardens he helped build was for the late Paul Temple, co-founder of the Society of Garden Designers. "It was so awful that I thought, 'I can do better.' "
At the Welsh College of Horticulture he studied indoor landscaping - tropical plants for hotels and malls - and spent his sandwich year at the RHS garden at Wisley, which gave him a good all-round knowledge of plants. He then learnt the business of commercial design through working with designer David Stevens.
The time had come to set up on his own, but 1988 was the heyday of the renaissance in traditional country gardening, led by Penelope Hobhouse and Rosemary Verey.
There were no design programmes on television, no specialist magazines and no commissions for modernist designers.
"In those days, when I told people I was a garden designer, they would ask, 'What do you do - put up fences?'" Recession made life still more difficult, so in 1994 he sold his business, and travelled.
A year in East and southern Africa was followed by a year in East Asia, and a winter's snowboarding. He returned to Britain on the day in 1997 that Tony Blair became Prime Minister to find a completely different world: "There had been such an explosion of interest in garden design that I thought I had missed the boat."
A break soon came. He wrote a book, Planted (Hodder & Stoughton, £9.90), which turned him into one of the young, telegenic stars of the profession.
Design work soon followed, giving him the chance to use his knowledge of the flora of different parts of the world, and to explore ideas about combining art and architecture with plants.
He always tries to reflect the client's personality in a design. "I like to see how they dress, what car they drive, as well as what they tell me. There's always a tension between what clients want and what they need. I like them to think I have given them what they want, even when I haven't."
His way of bamboozling them is to take a brief, then not involve the client at all until he presents a finished idea, which often bears little resemblance to what they asked for. "If they want changes, fine, but it doesn't often happen."
Bold though his ideas tend to be, his planting, until now, has been conservative. Even in his Chelsea gardens he sticks to trusty favourites with interesting foliage textures. "Luckily," he says, "the judges don't seem to notice."
This year will be different. With The Daily Telegraph garden for Chelsea, he is experimenting with plants that he has not used before. "I'm out of my comfort zone here," he admits. But he doesn't look too worried.

Disclaimer: We endorse and support Deval Patrick.
Reilly doesn't try that I'm-really-sort-of-Black thing. However, personally and professionally, he has shown that race is not a problem for him. Also, his campaign site features the elder Budd prominently in the bio.
Whether having a Black buddy/staffer helps him substantially in the urban, largely Black neighborhoods remains to be seen. He's up against Patrick, who doesn't just play a Black man on the dais, and who can out-up-from-poverty Reilly any day.
The Bay State Banner has a profile of Reilly, with one emphasis on his relationship with Budd. It also is heavy on Reilly's shots at Mitt Cap'n Brylcreem Romney and at Patrick.
Unfortunately for both Reilly and Patrick, even Boston's Black voters are not bloc folk. Various polls suggest that they are pretty well split, largely between these two. Also, statewide, only about 5.4% of voters are Black. Sewing up the Black vote won't guarantee anyone the State House.
The Banner article doesn't give Reilly a total free forum. It mentions his dumb calls about the drunk-driving case of a friend's daughters, as well as Lt. Gov. pick Marie St. Fleur. On the other hand, it didn't cite his handling of the various anti-same-sex-marriage drives and his indecisiveness as attorney general. Nonetheless, it states "...given all the political missteps, Reilly has provided Republican gubernatorial nominee Kerry (Healey) plenty of ammunition to use in November."
Yet for self-defined liberals and progressives, Black support is smart politics as well as in line with their platforms. Saying you're for equality and fairness for all is one thing, while getting buy in and support from traditionally disadvantaged communities speaks a lot louder.
Interestingly enough, the Banner article picks up a popular American theme from this race, two weeks before the Democratic primary. It notes:
That very well may be true, but something strange is happening. Reilly, the prohibitive favorite last winter, is now the underdog, fighting against two millionaires in the Democratic primary, and proclaiming to be champion of the "regular people."What could be more American than beating the odds? That's a good question about the Irish-American insider...as it is for the Black self-made millionaire.
And that is where Reilly is most comfortable—against the odds and underestimated.

Linc flow testing at Umiat field
The Australian independent said it began testing the horizontal well at the Umiat oil field on March 21 and planned to release results soon after completing and analyzing the test.
The flow test is the first on a well in the Umiat field in at least 35 years, and the first ever on a horizontal well at the field, which is in the foothills of the Brooks Range Mountains.
While Linc drilled the Umiat No. 18 vertical well last winter, the company was unable to complete a planned flow test because of mechanical problems. To avoid those problems this time around, Linc is using a slotted liner to mimic an open-hole completion scheme.
The horizontal well and slotted liner philosophy that have been used on this well No. 23H are also an important factor, as this combination is a large part of the development philosophy of the Umiat field going forward, CEO Peter Bond said in a statement.
The Umiat oil field is generally considered to be the largest known and undeveloped oil field in Alaska, with 154.5 million proved and probable barrels of oil equivalent.

The Hash: George Clinton on Kendrick, Dre, Compton and Cannabis
Pretty much everyone knows P-Funk musician George Clinton — the leader of Parliament, and Funkadelic, and icon of American pop culture. But almost no one knows that when George Clinton tours through the Bay Area, he makes sure to stop by a nondescript house in Berkeley and hang out for hours into the night talking funk, cannabis, and life.
We were there this October, when the captain of the Mothership of Funk touched down at that house — which is home to the C.R.A.F.T medical cannabis delivery collective. See, CRAFT's founders used to work with George on the road, so they stay in touch and re-supply the mothership.
The Hash was invited and got a few minutes with the king. We asked him about his new autobiography, 'Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain't That Funkin' Kinda Hard On You?: A Memoir,' specifically, what was the relationship — if any — between cannabis and the funk?
Listen along as Clinton describes working with Kendrick Lamar on his album To Pimp A Butterfly, the relationship between cannabis and the funk, as well as hip-hop, and why he is a medical marijuana patient.
Lamar is likely to win several Grammys for To Pimp A Butterfly, which features Clinton on the opening track, "Wesley's Theory".
The George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic 2016 tour starts Feb. 6 in Washington D.C., with upcoming dates in New York, Seattle, Portland, Denver, Dallas, New Orleans and Detroit. Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic return to Oakland's The New Parish Thursday April 14. You can buy tickets here.

Recently I had the opportunity to work with J.J. Abrams on the new Star Trek film to design the Main and End Titles. The project was massive! Over 30 unique credit designs with a single camera flying around space through nebula's and galaxies. Maybe a few shattered planets too, cause they just look cool in 3D!
I'm actually working on some in depth behind the scenes video to show you some of the work and what went into the sequence. The titles were designed at IMAX resolution and rendered in stereo so everything in the the scenes had to be completely 3D! (and yes I used Element 3D. 100% rendered inside After Effects!)
They even let me go to the premiere… it was kind of insane!
It is always fun to work on challenging sequences and I couldn't be more thankful for the chance to be part of such a cool project! To hard work and innovation!
If you are going to be around LA tomorrow, I'm doing another presentation at DMALA to talk about this and other cool projects.
Food and drinks plus the Adobe Guys are going to be there too.

So without further ado... The February Edition of... The Blogmopolitian Quiz!
As always, today I am thankful for parents who teach their children manners. If you read my answers to this edition of the Blogmopolitian quiz you will see that a lot of them focused on how I don't like rude or disrespectful people. Working in the service industry we see a lot of people (both young and old) who act rude and disrespectful to us on a daily basis. They treat us like we are dirt, have no manners and seem to think that they are better than us because we are waiting on them. I also see it in my co-workers who demand things from me without so much as a please or thank you. So today I am thankful for those who do say please and thank you. And I am thankful for the parents who have taught their children to act this way. The world would be a better place if everyone were just a little bit more polite and had a few more manners.

Game Details
Where: Stafford, VA When: Every Saturday, 5:30 PM to 11/12ish. Games Played: Mix of games - many D20 and White Wolf Number of Players Sought: 3 to 5.
Good evening. My name is Adam. My wife and I are new to the area, having just moved here from Michigan.
Back in Michigan, I ran a weekly game for about 6 years. Prior that, in Wisconsin, I ran one for 5. I'm looking to do the same here.
I work for the US Army (civilian, so don't worry, I won't be leaving again soon). My wife and I have been married for six years and have one 3-year old girl. I have done freelance writing for the Scarred Lands (DnD 3.5) and Exalted (their 2 highest rated adventures: In Hunting a Monster and Daughter of Nexus).
As stated above, the game will be a weekly game held on Saturdays. Every week, we will gather at about 5:30 and game until about 11 or 12 (after usual get-together, chit-chat, and probably fetching of dinner). The game will be hosted at my place, in Stafford. The games we will play will be anything from DnD 3.5 to 4E, to Star Wars, to Old World of Darkness, New World of Darkness, Exalted, Scion, and Anima: Beyond Fantasy.
In other words, this will be a mix of games. We play one campaign to completion and then, usually, switch systems for a while, just so we get a plethora of experiences. The majority of our games are DnD/D20 based. My intent is that the first game we do will be a 3.5-campaign in the Scarred Lands, but that is not a requirement, nor is it a requirement to have knowledge of whatever system we are playing when we start playing it. Sometimes, we're all learning together.
The games I run tend to have structured plots. That is, they are not sandbox games. However, they ARE NOT LINEAR and are NOT RAILROADED. I work with my players to create the plot, and each of you has a role to play in every game. Often, one of you has the role of "main" character, around whom a large portion of the plot may revolve (such as the knight whose father was slain by the antagonist). So that one of you doesn't end up taking up too much camera time, this role is switched from campaign to campaign, so each of you will get the chance to try the lead role. And, not every game is played in this format.
I do not do sandbox style games because I tend not to be very good at them. What I am good at is engaging plotlines that are all about your characters and helping you all have a good time.
As soon as I have 2 to 3 other players, I will be ready to start the game with a character creation night, as that will give us my wife and the 2-3 other players as a good start. I set the gaming group's maximum size to 6 (my wife plus 5 others).
Leave me a response in this thread or message me.

Chapter One Hundred Sixty-Four:
"Well, things may work out for Ryan and Monique. I'm happy about that. I really like Monique. I think that she'll be good for Ryan," said John.
The trail that they were walking on was covered with stones and loose branches. Susan stumbled and was about to fall over when John grabbed her and held onto her. It was almost an embrace and John remembered how good it felt to hold Susan close to him.
"Oh, I'm sorry John. I should have been watching where I was stepping," said Susan. She was starting to blush. She, too, had missed the feeling of having John next to her. Both of them looked into each other's eyes and held their gaze for over a minute. Neither one of them wanted to break the embrace but John let go of Susan, not wanting to show that he still had strong feelings for her.
They were both a bit flustered now and Susan thought that this would be a good time to continue their conversation.
"What do you think is going to happen with Stephanie and Ryan?" Susan asked. "I'll bet that Stephanie will want to stay with you too. She won't want to move away from Garry."
"That is very likely but I don't know what Garry has planned for his future," said John.
The wind had picked up and it was starting to get a bit chilly. Susan forgot to bring a sweater along for the walk.
"John can I ask a big favor from you?"
"Sure, sweetheart," said John immediately putting his hand over his mouth. "Sorry, that kind of slipped out. I guess old habits are hard to break."
Susan laughed. "I thought that I was going to have to work up the courage to ask you the favor, but now I don't feel so afraid. Sweetheart,eh? I always liked it when you called me that."
"Really? Now you have me really curious. What's the favor?" asked John.
"I want to borrow your windbreaker and snuggle up to you."
John smiled and said, "My pleasure, honey,"

Game Hits
Our friends over at Destineer totally shocked us with a reviewable
copy of Game Hits. This is a Nintendo DS video game that includes clones
of four classics. The four classics are Pac-Man, Frogger, Space
Invaders, and Tetris. Yeah we are talking some of the big boys from the
history of the video game industry. A robot is the playable character in
these games. He is actually a cute little guy. Something I noticed about
Game Hits is how the difficulty is toned down. This makes these games
approachable to more family members.
The graphics in Game Hits range. Falling Bricks is colorful, and has various background graphics that change while playing. Space Shoot also has some nice colors, although it also has violence as your space ship is blowing away enemy vessels. The different kinds of ships looked good. I am not a fan of the graphics in Game Hits, because they are a little small. Maze Munchers looked nice with some variety here and there. It's graphics were also a little small.
Game Hits has some fun little sounds. I enjoyed successfully completing a level because of the celebration sounds. The music inside the levels is okay, but many times I blew through a level so fast it did not stay with me for long. The music never got annoying, which is a good thing. Losing a level has a sound that did not bring joy to my life. I did not find any offensive sounds while playing Game Hits on the DS.
If you get into Game Hits there can be a fair amount of replay. The games in Game Hits are good clones, and can be very addicting. Since they are clones there are a few minor issues that the next section will deal with. The main goal in Game Hits is to get the highest score. This hearkens back to the past of video games. If you enjoy getting the highest score then you will find a lot of replay value to this hand held video game.
Space Shoot has fantastic controls. The other three games in Game Hits have okay controls. I found Highway Hopper could be touchy and register multiple jumps when I was trying to do just one. Maze Munchers has some strange mazes that lead to some issues trying to get around. We may have thought the controls were great in Falling Bricks except Tetris Party Deluxe recently released and is a lot more forgiving. The paces of the games in Game Hits is a lot slower than the classics and this feels a little strange.
The only issue I can see with Game Hits is the violence in Space Shoot. Players are given three lives, and can earn more while playing. Lose all your lives and it is game over. Then you can see if your score puts you in the top five of the game. Game Hits contains a multicard download so two people can play together. Game Hits is an interesting idea that I am not sold on, but not hostile towards either.

Smart keyboard promises next level integration with software studios
The recent arrival of Native Instruments' Kontrol S series of keyboards proved that there is definitely an appetite for dedicated, software specific gear. What Kontrol S did really, really well was integrate with Komplete to bring a level of tactile responsiveness to what is essentially a piece of software. And, to paraphrase the slogan of a well-known consumer electronics brand, it just worked. From the second it was plugged in, everything just fit perfectly. Every single sound, instrument and effect was mapped to the relevant knobs and controllers on the keyboard, allowing users to get on with playing instead of staring at a computer screen. Which was great, however, there was one huge caveat; what if you're not willing or able to shell out the not inconsiderable amount required for both Komplete and the Kontrol S unit?
Wouldn't it be great if there was a keyboard which offered that same level of accurate mapping, functionality and features, but wasn't limited to use with one specific software package? Step forward Akai, with its new Advance range of keyboard controllers. These attractive looking units are proof that Akai can still mix it with the big boys and produce gear which genuinely innovates and brings something new to the table.
Essentially the Advance range, which comes in the usual 25, 49 and 61 key variants, brings instant mapping ability to most major DAWs, along with a OLED colour screen to allow you to navigate your way around. It also has a row of MPC-style pads, which is something sadly lacking from NI's offering, along with a ruck of included (and high quality) plug-ins and instruments.
Of course, auto-mapping isn't itself new or particularly innovative, but Akai claims its Advance keyboards are among the quickest and most accurate and work with a huge list of software and third-party plug-ins. The accompanying VIP software host does all the hard work, mapping intelligently to the "smart" knobs and pads, taking out all the associated faff of 'teaching' your keyboard and DAW to play nicely together.
The colour screen, similar to that seen on NI's Maschine Studio unit, will prove useful on dark stages, while the ace in the pack is the Advance's ability to work without the computer, via MIDI, enabling it to control hardware synths and the like.
All told, the Akai Advance range look well built, full of useful functions and features which will aim to make your playing life easier. And for that alone it has to be worth a look.

Fundraising: Sources and Skills for Disability Information Services
This report aims to provide voluntary sector organisations, particularly those working in the field of disability information, with a set of practical fundraising guidelines. The report is in three main sections:
Part 1: The process of fundraising
This section examines how best to write applications for funding, and how to identify, approach and negotiate with potential sponsors. The impact of the 'contract culture' and the implications that it has for gaining funds from government sources is also considered.
Part 2: Sources of funding
This section examines the broad range of funding sources available to voluntary sector organisations, including central government, local government, charitable trusts, commercial companies and individuals. The section is divided into two parts: the first looks at the characteristics of the different sources of funding and the second contains details of various funding sources, including useful addresses.
Part 3: Case studies
This section shows how five local disability information projects have translated theory into practice

Interview with certified life coach, Kathy Zengolewicz, who is the author of My Dragonfly: And the Lessons He Taught Me. Her book about the loss of a child helps others deal with death and grief by answering the questions people struggle with most.
Life has its difficulties. Once in awhile a curveball comes at the most inopportune times. These things are a part of life and must be dealt with as they come. However, other times the challenge can be too big, and seem impossible to deal with. A good example of this is the loss of a loved one, specifically the loss of a child.
My Dragonfly: And the Lessons He Taught Me by Kathy Zengolewicz deals with this issue and answers questions about death and grief that some may struggle with.
In a recent interview with Beth's book reviews Kathy answers a wide range of many public and personal questions, which reveal her personal life and how the death of her son in 2012 led her to pen down My Dragonfly.
In the interview Kathy said," Writing my book, My Dragonfly who represents the son I lost to drug addiction, has led me to where I am today. I have learned to heal and I am on this Earth to help those who have shared my pain and loss. I have put down into words the things my son taught me, in spirit, and I apply those things to my everyday life."
The book could be just the thing to help those who are grieving from the loss of a loved one, especially parents who have lost a child. A book like this can be powerful in helping to recover from such a loss.
Kathy went on to say, I would like everyone who reads the book to take something away from it. I have pretty much opened my heart and soul writing My Dragonfly. The feedback that I have received from people who read it has been very positive. I have been blessed by people telling me that the book has answered some questions that they had about death, grief and moving on. If this book helps just one person to feel better about the loss of a loved one, especially a mother who has lost a child then it was worth writing.
For more information, the full interview with Kathy Zengolewicz is available at Beth's Book Reviews. The book My Dragonfly: And the Lessons He Taught Me can be found on Amazon.

With the prices on guns and ammunition down considerably from the panic-driven highs caused by Senator Joe Manchin's (D-WV) gun control push earlier this year, it is a good time to make firearm and ammunition purchases.
After all, AR-15s that were $1,800 to $2,400 in January and February are currently $700 to $1,000, and 9mm ammunition which was $34 in March can now be had for $15.
For those thinking about making a purchase but unsure of what they should get, below is list of a few rifles, handguns, and shotguns, which have proven themselves throughout the years and for which you will always be able to get parts and accessories.
If I were going to have but two rifles, those should be an AR-15 and a .22.
My brand of choice for an AR-15 is a Bushmaster, which comes in many variations. You can get one these brand new on CheaperThanDirt.com starting at $700. (Before the liberals go into slobber and claw mode over the fact that I provided an online source to buy a gun, keep in mind that any firearm purchased at CheaperThanDirt.com will be sent to a Federal Firearm License [FFL] holder in the buyer's area and he or she will have to pass a background check with that FFL before taking possession of the gun. They will also have to pay shipping on the firearm.)
Those buying a .22 rifle cannot go wrong with either a Ruger 10/22 or a Marlin model 60. The 10/22 is best for those who plan to accessorize the gun and the model 60 is best for those who just want unbelievable accuracy. Either of these could be had cheaply at Gander Mountain or Academy Sports.
For handguns, I would suggest one revolver and one semi-automatic.
For a multiple-use revolver the Ruger GP101 is a great gun. It is chambered in .357 magnum which means you can also shoot the less powerful, but still potent, .38 Special round through it as well.
For a semi-automatic I would get a Glock 19. This gun is chambered in 9mm and has long been one of the most popular guns in America. You can get a brand new Glock 19 for about $500.
Two pump shotguns stand out–a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500. Both of these are 12-gauge shotguns that can be purchased in various configurations and presently cost between $350 and $500. These are incredible self-defense firearms and can be used for hunting and sport as well.
Today's prices also make this is a great time to buy bulk ammunition for firearms you own. Bulk ammo can be purchased at CheaperThanDirt.com, AmmoForSale.com, or MidwayUSA.com, among other outlets.

Black Ops 2 racks up record pre-orders and generates record hype of Call of Duty;
Inquiring minds want to know: Are people tired of Call of Duty? If the insane Internet buzz surrounding this week's announcement of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is anything to go by, no they're decidedly not.
Activision Blizzard's near-future war game about America's combat drones turning against their makers is already lighting up sales charts, according to Amazon.com's United Kingdom branch. Three times as many copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 were pre-ordered through the online retailer during the first 24 hours after its announcement than the original Call of Duty: Black Ops racked up in 2010.
Laying on the canned PR speak a little thick, Amazon UK video game manager Graham Chambers said, "Set to be one of the biggest games of the year, it's great to see so much enthusiasm and anticipation for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Bolder and better than before and with everything from a futuristic storyline through to single player mode, zombies, and multiplayer, Black Ops 2 promises something Call of Duty fans have never seen before." Translated into English, Chambers said, "We are going to sell many copies of this gun game and we will buy fancy meals with the profits."
The Web coughed up evidence of people's enduring infatuation with the series throughout the week. Nielsen Media Incite, a research group that tracks interest in brands across social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and from 160 million blogs and message boards, told GamesIndustry International on Thursday that the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 announcement has generated the second most pre-release buzz of any Call of Duty product.
On Monday, 24 hours before the game was announced, Black Ops 2 generated 4,911 messages around the Web. By Wednesday morning, that number had jumped to 21,454 messages. It has actually generated the most buzz by NM Incite's calculations of any Call of Duty game. Call of Duty Elite, Activision's online service, generated more messages following its announcement in May 2011, clocking 21,728 messages in 24 hours.
One other interesting note from NM Incite's research: The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 are generating close to the same amount of interest. While popular on all platforms, Call of Duty often commands a larger audience on Microsoft's machine. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for example has sold nearly 14 million copies on the Xbox 360 since November 2011, while the PlayStation 3 version has sold just over 11.6 million.
Buzz doesn't necessarily equate to success though. Look at Draw Something's dramatic rise and fall over the past six weeks. Then again, it would be foolish to think that Black Ops 2 isn't going to sell in crazy numbers this fall. Face it: Call of Duty is the Super Bowl of video games. Might as well enjoy it along with everyone else.

NASCAR Wire Service
In last year's Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Dover, Jimmie Johnson had his race – and his hopes for a record-tying championship – waylaid by the failure of a rear end seal.
On Sunday, as Johnson led the field to green for a restart on Lap 355, an uncooperative transmission kept his car from surging forward and ultimately started a wreck that involved half the remaining field in Sunday's AAA 400.
As Johnson's No. 48 Chevrolet failed to launch, the outside lane accordioned behind him, and Johnson turned sideways after contact from Martin Truex Jr.'s Toyota. Cars behind him bounced off the walls and off each other.
"As soon as I went from second (gear) and tried to go to third, I kind of got up into the neutral gate of the transmission and didn't even go to third," Johnson said. "It stopped before it ever went to third. And then I tried fourth and third and fourth and eventually I got hit from behind. There was a long pause there where I was trying to, I thought maybe I missed a shift; but it wouldn't go in gear.
"Martin was good and patient with me. He gave me a couple of opportunities to try to find a gear, and it just locked out and wouldn't go into gear for some reason. It was still that way at the end, and I couldn't drive the car and I don't think I'm all that damaged, but unfortunately I lost a shot at winning, and I hate to see all those cars tore up."
From Johnson's perspective, the malfunction was unprecedented.
"In my career, I've never had a transmission do that to me," he said. "I've had them kind of lock out of reverse at a test session or even in the garage area or something, but to lock out and not go across the gate and then no gear available is something I've never had before."
