Tetris Effect Coming to PC Next Week as Epic Store Exclusive
No word on if it's a timed exclusive.
The game that many called 2018's game of the year is coming very soon to the PC. That's right, Tetris Effect brings its psychedelic strategy-puzzle gameplay to a PC somewhat near you on July 23. Ah, but there is a catch, because of course there is.
In case you missed it, Tetris Effect is exclusive to the Epic Games Store. There is no saying whether or not this is a timed exclusive release, or if this third-party PC release will remain an exclusive to that launcher. This release will mark the first time that the game was available...
Horror Game Devotion May Not be Re-released
Developer says this may change, but not any time soon.
This past February, Taiwan-based Red Candle Games pulled their then newly released horror title, Devotion, from the Steam store. This came after it was discovered that the game had shipped with an Easter egg that references how China's president, Xi Jinping, looks like Winnie the Pooh. What followed was a wave of review bombing on Steam from upset Chinese citizens that continued to toe the line that the government has repeatedly pushed upon them.
The original plan from Red Candle Games was to remove the game from...
Introducing Steam Labs - A Place to Test New Steam Features
Launching today with three experiments.
Valve has just launched a new area on Steam where users can test out new, experimental features for Steam. They're calling this area the Steam Labs and it is here where users will be able to test out potential new Steam features. These tests may one day become commonplace on Steam, but for now they are mere experiments ripe for testing and potential changes based on user feedback.
If you ever used Gmail, you may already know what to expect from these Labs experiments. That is to say, there is no guarantee that they will be fully...

Facebook Reportedly Bringing Splinter Cell Back... as a VR Game
Who wished on a monkey's paw?!
There is a story circulating today saying that Facebook may have already signed deals with Ubisoft to bring back Splinter Cell and a new Assassin's Creed title. That's not the weird part. The weird part here is that the deal is to create VR games in these two popular franchises. And since it's Facebook that pushed the deal, that would mean that the games would be Oculus "exclusive" and sold through their Oculus Store.
This is, at least right now, merely a rumor. It came to light today via The Information (full article is locked...

SimCity Offline is a Possibility but Larger Cities Are a No-Go
In the latest "State of the SimCity" blog entry from Maxis and EA, the team addresses two of the most pressing questions on players minds since the launch of the game. First off, the team is still looking into the possibility of there being an offline mode! Secondly, you can kiss the promise of larger cities goodbye.

European Half-Life 3 Trademark is Allegedly Fake
The news we recently had up (well, we did prior to the script kiddie shenanigans) about the trademark filing for Half-Life 3 is allegedly not true. Valvetime discovered that the trademark that was filed with the Trademarks and Design Registration Office of the European Union (OHIM) has been removed.
It was listed for only about a week before being removed. However, the weird thing now is that a listing for Portal 3 has gone up just two days ago on October 2. Granted, this filing should also be believed as much as the last filing was. It is, much like the Half-Life 3 filing, probably the work of people playing...

As the title implies, the sixth episode of the Payday 2 web series was released today.
In this sixth episode of the PAYDAY 2 web series, we are drawn closer into the seedy world of Vlad and Gage. Special agent Griffin is getting too close to CRIMENET so Bain sends Vlad to have a "friendly" chat with her hoping the message will get across.

Valve Releases Details on Steam Machine Prototype Hardware
If you're one of the lucky 300 who will get to test drive the Steam Machine prototypes, Valve has just revealed what hardware you should expect to see.
So for our own first prototype Steam Machine ( the one we're shipping to 300 Steam users ), we've chosen to build something special. The prototype machine is a high-end, high-performance box, built out of off-the-shelf PC parts. It is also fully upgradable, allowing any user to swap out the GPU, hard drive, CPU, even the motherboard if you really want to. Apart from the custom enclosure, anyone can go and build exactly the same machine by shopping for components and assembling it themselves. And we expect that at least a few
Battlefield 4 Beta is Now Open to Everyone
I hope some of you enjoyed the few day jumpstart on the Battlefield 4 beta, because as of today it is now available to everyone. All you need is the Origin client and an EA account, which most people probably have by now anyway. If you're on PC, simply log into Origin, go to the store page, and choose the Battlefield 4 beta under the demo category listings. You will need a 64-bit system to run the beta. If you're on consoles, look for the beta under the "demo" sections on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It should also be highlighted on the main tab of the Xbox 360 dashboard and you will need Xbox Live Gold in order to pl...

Lars Gustavsson told reporters at a recent Battlefield 4 event that a third installment in the Battlefield: Bad Company series will happen, you know, eventually.
"My feeling is that I would love to do it. For me, when we started the company with 1942, it was really a work of passion," Gustavsson said. "And then we worked our way through the era of different wars, and I loved them all, like my little babies. When it came to Bad Company, it was creative freedom; don't take yourself too seriously.

A managed decline
It is clear that the end of the fossil fuel era is on the horizon. Between plummeting renewable energy costs, uncharted electric vehicle growth, government commitments to decarbonization enshrined in the Paris agreement, and a growing list of fossil fuel project cancellations in the face of massive public opposition and bad economics, the writing's on the wall.
The question now becomes: What does the path from here to zero carbon look like? Is it ambitious enough to avoid locking in emissions that we can't afford? Is it intentional enough to protect workers and communities that depend on the carbon-based economy that has gotten us this far? Is it equitable enough to recognize that some countries must move further, faster? And is it honest enough about the reality that a decline of fossil fuels is actually a good thing?
In short – will this be a managed decline of fossil fuel production, or an unmanaged decline? What is the plan?
Let's take a closer look:
Is the plan ambitious: Is it fast enough to avoid dangerous climate change?
Without efforts to limit this production growth, a variation on one of two themes will unfold: 1. We will miss climate limits and global climate change will be catastrophic, or 2. A much more dramatic future halt and decline of production will be significantly more economically and socially disruptive.
Why wouldn't you prepare to ensure the decline is as non-disruptive as possible, but also fast enough to avoid the worst climate impacts? Is the plan fair: Does it prepare for a just transition that will protect workers and puts communities first?
Speed and ambition is paramount: As the International Trade Union Confederation grimly puts it, there are no jobs on a dead planet. But a key element of a managed decline is that it must come hand-in-hand with a just transition for jobs and communities that have become dependent on the production of fossil fuels. Everyone can recognize the role fossil fuels have played in the development of the global economy, and everyone should recognize the workers and communities that have made these sectors thrive and provided the world with energy. A critical part of this transition is acknowledging that those workers and communities require and deserve support as their livelihoods change.
Trade unions and others have developed a framework for a just transition in relation to climate change, the importance of which is recognized in the preamble of the Paris Agreement. Key elements of a just transition include: Sound investments in low-emission and job-rich sectors and technologies;
Social dialogue and democratic consultation of social partners – trade unions and employers – and other stakeholders, such as communities; Research and early assessment of the social and employment impacts of climate policies; Training and skills development to support the deployment of new technologies and foster industrial change; Social protection alongside active labor market policies; and
Local economic diversification plans that support decent work and provide community stability in the transition.
It is also important to note that the fossil fuel economy, while a massive employer, is not always a good employer. Workers and communities have oftentimes been taken advantage of in the boom and abandoned in the bust. We need a transition plan that will not just create new jobs, but that will create good new jobs.
Fossil fuel extraction has impacted tens of thousands of communities around the world, and more often than not, it is marginalized populations that bear the brunt of the impacts of living and working on the frontlines of the fossil fuel economy.

Q: Standard limit proof Everyone knows the standard result $$\boxed{\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^x=e}$$ My friend gave a proof for this result using binomial expansion of $$\left(1+\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^n=1+nx+\dfrac{n(n-1)}{2!}x^2+\dfrac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!}x^3+\dots$$ which is valid only when $|1/x|<1$ and $n\in\mathbb{R}$. Here is how he proceeded-
$$\begin{align*}\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(1+\dfrac{1}{x}\right)^x=\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(1+x.\dfrac1x+\dfrac{x(x-1)}{2!}\dfrac1{x^2}+\dfrac{x(x-1)(x-2)}{3!}\dfrac1{x^3}+\dots\right)=\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(1+1+\dfrac{x(x-1)}{2!}\dfrac1{x^2}+\dfrac{x(x-1)(x-2)}{3!}\dfrac1{x^3}+\dots\right)=1+1+\lim_{x\to\infty}\dfrac{x(x-1)}{2!}\dfrac1{x^2}+\lim_{x\to\infty}\dfrac{x(x-1)(x-2)}{3!}\dfrac1{x^3}+\dots=1+1+\frac1{2!}+\frac1{3!}+\frac1{4!}\dots=\boxed{e}\end{align*}$$ The method of binomial expansion is clearly invalid as the exponent $x$ is variable not a constant. Yet the method ends up getting correct answer as $e$. Am I missing what is incorrect here? I am interested to know why this wrong approach leads to correct answer.

A: Instead of taking a limit as $x \rightarrow \infty$, one can take a limit along a specific sequence. For instance, the following limit does not exist:
$$\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}\sin x.$$
Sine is periodic and does not converge to a specific value for large $x$. However, the following limit does exist:
$$\lim_{x=0,\pi,2\pi,\ldots} \sin x = 0.$$
Here we are taking a limit along a countable sequence, skipping over the peaks and troughs of $\sin x$ so that the sine of of every value in the sequence is 0.
Your friend is taking the limit of $(1+\frac{1}{x})^x$ along a particular sequence which grows to infinity, specifically, $x=1,2,3,\ldots$. This is a perfectly valid thing to do, and his math seems correct. Of course, in his case the limit exists not just along this sequence, but as $x \rightarrow \infty$ in general. When the general limit exists, it must equal the limit along every single sequence which grows to infinity, which is what you are seeing here.

A: This is correct for each $\vert x \vert > 1$:
$$ \left( 1+\frac{1}{x} \right) ^ x =
1+1+\dfrac{x(x-1)}{2!}\dfrac1{x^2}+\dfrac{x(x-1)(x-2)}{3!}\dfrac1{x^3}+\dots$$
It is simply Newton's Generalised Binomial Theorem with $x$ replaced by $1$, $y$ replaced by $\frac{1}{x}$ and $r$ replaced by $x.$
However, It is not obvious that the following limit even converges (although it probably does for some complicated reason):
$$\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(1+x\cdot\dfrac1x+\dfrac{x(x-1)}{2!}\dfrac1{x^2}+\dfrac{x(x-1)(x-2)}{3!}\dfrac1{x^3}+\dots\right)$$

Epilepsy.com - General Audience
Approximately 1 in 26 People in the United States Will Develop Epilepsy at Some Point in their Lifetime
Epilepsy is a chronic condition of the brain that affects people all over the world. It is characterized by recurring seizures-- which are physical reactions to sudden, brief, excessive electrical discharges in brain cells. Anyone, anywhere, at any time can have a seizure.
The physical reactions of a seizure depend on which part and how much of the brain is impacted by the excessive electrical discharges. Although most people think of a seizure as a full-body convulsion, seizures can also be brief muscle jerks or unconscious behaviors like picking at clothing or what appears to be a lapse of attention, like daydreaming.
The frequency of seizures varies greatly, from once in a while to several per day.
More people live with epilepsy than with autism spectrum disorders, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy – combined.
Epilepsy is one of the world's oldest known medical conditions, and yet too many people do not understand it. In too many cases, this misunderstanding has led to fear, discrimination and social isolation.
Together, we can reduce the fear and misunderstanding, so the lives of millions of people around the world -- people living with the condition and their loved ones -- will be forever changed for the better.

Му Шии́н (, 14 марта 1912 — 28 июня 1940) — китайский писатель, общественный деятель. Наряду с Лю Наоу, Ши Чжэцунем и Е Линфэном был главным представителем шанхайского модернизма 1930-х.

Биография
Родился в семье банкира, разорившегося в конце 1920-х. Му Шиин с детства жил в Шанхае, где и получил образование, окончив в начале 1930-х факультет китайской литературы университетат Гуанхуа. Буржуазное происхождение не помешало Му Шиину увлечься в студенческие годы марксизмом, что определило характер его раннего творчества. В 1930 году в журнале «Синь вэньи юэкань» были опубликованы его первые рассказы «Цзамэнь ды шицзе» («Наш мир») и «Хэй сюаньфэн» («Черный вихрь»). В 1931 на страницах ведущего журнала «Сяошо юэбао» появился его рассказ «Нань бэй цзи» («Северный и Южный полюсы»), давший название первому сборнику рассказов писателя, изданному в Шанхае в 1932. Кроме того, в 1930 Му Шиин опубликовал роман
«Цзяолю» («Слияние»). Произведения 1930—1931, посвященные жизни люмпен-пролетариата и исполненные протеста против современной действительности, были положительно оценены левой критикой. В молодом писателе увидели глашатая пролетарского сознания, чьи произведения отличаются высокой эмоциональностью и оригинальным использованием лексики низших слоев общества.

Однако уже в 1932 году в творчестве Му Шиина наступил резкий перелом, приведший его на стезю модернизма. Это было обусловлено его увлечением произведениями Лю Наоу — первого популяризатора японского неосенсуализма в Китае, знакомством с творчеством японских писателей (Ёкомицу Риити, Хорогути Дайгаку, Хаяси Фусао), с произведениями французского модерниста П. Морана и психоанализом 3. Фрейда. Кроме того, к смене творческой ориентации Му Шиина подтолкнули склонность к литературным экспериментам и обида на Лу Синя за нелицеприятные высказывания в свой адрес при их личной встрече. Му Шиин начал разграничивать литературу и политику, первостепенной задачей для него стало как, а не что писать. При этом он воспринял установку неосенсуализма на выражение субъективных чувств и ощущений автора, личностно интерпретирующего окружающую действительность. Подобное отступничество от принципов пролетарской литературы вызвало резкую отповедь Лу Синя и Цюй Цюбо, но в то же время нашло поддержку у Ду Хэна — известного сторонника «третьего пути» в литературе.

В плане художественной техники Му Шиин одним из первых в Китае стал использовать монтаж, «поток сознания», прямые и обратные повторы, смену субъекта повествования, отказ от знаков препинания, различный размер шрифта и др. Сюжет его произведений, как правило, строился вокруг флирта в танцевальном или ночном клубе, ресторане или кафе, коими изобиловал Шанхай в 1930-е. Известно, что и сам Му Шиин вел богемный образ жизни, проводя значительную часть времени в подобных заведениях, и даже женился на танцовщице. Его герои не только наслаждаются калейдоскопом развлечений, предоставляемых современным мегаполисом, но и ощущают трагическую неизбежность отставания от бешеного ритма жизни. Однако главным объектом повествования у писателя является не столько модная молодежь, сколько Шанхай — самый вестернизированный город Китая того времени. Рассказы Му Шиина зачастую окрашены эротическими мотивами, писатель широко использовал откровенные метафоры даже при описании городского ландшафта. Подобное новаторство немедленно принесло ему скандальную известность и признание в качестве «мастера китайского неосенсуализма», превзошедшего своего кумира и учителя Лю Наоу.

К репрезентативным модернистским рассказам Му Шиина относятся: «Шанхай ды хубу» («Шанхайский фокстрот», 1932), продолжение неоконченного романа «Китай в 1931», писавшегося под влиянием романа Джона Дос Пассоса «1919», «Craven "А"»(1932),"Хэй мудань" («Черный пион», 1932), вошедшие в сб. «Гунму» («Кладбище», 1933).

Несколько позднее у Му Шиина вышли сборники рассказов «Байцзинь ды нюйти сусян» («Платиновая статуя обнаженной женщины», 1934) и «Шэн чунюй ды ганьцин» («Любовь Святой Девы», 1935).

В сер. 1930-х в политических взглядах писателя вновь произошла перемена, и он стал редактировать националистические литературные журналы, подведомственные Гоминьдану, а в 1937 вошел в гоминьдановский комитет по контролю за печатными изданиями. Начало японо-китайской войны застало его в Гонконге, где он сотрудничал в газете «Синдао жибао». Му Шиин участвовал в создании Гонконгского филиала ВАРЛИ.

Следующий резкий поворот в гражданской позиции Му Шиина произошел осенью 1939, когда, вернувшись в Шанхай, он пошел на службу в прояпонское марионеточное правительство Ван Цзинвэя, где возглавил Управление информации и пропаганды, Национальное агентство новостей, газеты «Чжунхуа жибао» и «Вэньхуэй бао». Осенью 1939 и весной 1940 он совершил две рабочие поездки в Японию. В июне 1940 Му Шиин был убит (предположительно гоминьдановскими спецслужбами).

If you're only injury in a motor vehicle accident was a broken bone, you might feel quite fortunate. After all, modern trauma care is so advanced that you likely won't have any residual issue from the injury.
Simple fractures can be set quickly and efficiently without a hospital stay. Even compound and severe fractures can heal well with surgical intervention. However, there are some circumstances in which a broken bone could wind up being a more severe injury than you might expect.
Children and teenagers face a special risk that isn't pertinent to adults in a crash that causes a broken bone. While the human body is still in the process of growing and developing, the growth plate inside the bone is active.
Unfortunately, the growth plate can suffer damage in the event of a fracture that can leave someone with a lifetime of medical issues related to abnormal tissue and bone development. They could require extensive surgery and ongoing medical care for years to ensure proper development after a growth plate injury.
Most broken bones heal cleanly with timely medical intervention. However, even the simplest fracture poses a risk for long-term medical consequences. Specifically, it is possible for the nerves at the site of the broken bone to develop an injury that will persist indefinitely.
This condition, known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, will persist or even get worse as the broken limb heals. The pain may become deeper or feel like a burning or tingling sensation. People may also experience unusual developments of hair and nail tissue near the affected area. This condition can affect someone for the rest of their life.
Pre-existing medical conditions are likely one of the most significant risk factors for a long-term negative outcome with a broken bone. From autoimmune conditions that increase your risk of developing a severe infection to conditions that prevent your body from adequately healing itself, existing medical conditions can exacerbate the impact of a broken bone and vice versa.
Those dealing with the consequences of car accidents that resulted in major injuries may have rights to compensation for lost wages and medical expenses. Talking about your circumstances with an experienced Connecticut personal injury attorney is a good first step toward improving your lot after a major accident.

Pixies Announce 1st Studio Album in 20+ Years
Photo Credit: Jay Blakesberg
Fans have dreamed about it for years, and now Pixies are delivering. Indie Cindy, the band's first full studio album since 1991's Trompe le Monde, will be released in late April (April 23/Japan, April 28/UK/Europe/International, April 29/North America) on the band's own independent label, Pixiesmusic (marketed and distributed worldwide by [PIAS] Recordings). Pre-orders for most configurations can be placed beginning today at iTunes, Amazon, and other online retail outlets.
"We started seriously talking about recording new music about four years ago," said Pixies drummer David Lovering. "New music seemed like something we just had to do, we just couldn't continue to go out and tour without anything new. So the talk evolved into writing and recording, and we're all very happy with the way everything worked out."
The 12 cuts on Indie Cindy were produced by Gil Norton, producer of the band's classic Doolittle, Bossanova, and Trompe le Monde albums, and recorded during October 2012 at Rockfield Studios in Wales, UK. The various packages feature a collection of brand new artwork by the legendary graphic artist Vaughan Oliver who created the artwork for all of Pixies' previous releases. The album is comprised of "Bagboy," the band's first new song in more than a decade, the eight tracks from the band's EP-1 and EP-2, released September 3, 2013 and January 3, 2014 respectively, plus the three new tunes from the just-released EP-3 – all written by the Pixies – Black Francis/vocals, guitar; Joey Santiago/guitars; David Lovering/drums, backing vocals. With EP-1, EP-2 and now EP-3 having been available only in digital and limited-edition vinyl formats, Indie Cindy will mark the first time fans can have all of the new Pixies music in one collection.
Pixies are making Indie Cindy available in a selection of formats:
* as a standard 12-track single-CD digipak with booklet
* as a two-disc, deluxe gatefold album, pressed on 180-gram vinyl
* as a standard 12-track digital download via iTunes, Amazon, and other online retail sellers
* as an expanded digital download exclusively through iTunes that includes a bonus live-in-concert 13-track set recorded during the band's recently-completed North American tour
* available at pixiesmusic.com, a special deluxe, limited edition (5,000) two-disc set (available as a CD and as a deluxe gatefold album pressed on 180-gram vinyl) that includes the 13-track live disc. This deluxe package also includes a 40-page, hard-back book that features the new artwork produced exclusively for Indie Cindy. The CD limited edition is packaged in a special gold-foil hard slipcase.
But wait, there's more. On April 19, a week before the official release date and exclusively for Record Store Day, Pixies will make Indie Cindy available as a special RSD limited edition, two-disc, deluxe gatefold, 180-gram vinyl set, only from independent record stores participating in RSD around the world. When these are gone, they're gone.
While Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential, pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock movement, having blazed the trail for artists from Nirvana to Radiohead to Pearl Jam, today, a whole new generation of music fans are discovering their iconic "loudquietloud" signature sound. After five genre-defining studio albums, Pixies disbanded in 1993, and then launched their reunion tour in April 2004, playing to sell-out crowds all over the globe for seven years, a longer period of time than they were a band originally. But writing, recording and releasing new music was something that the band had been wanting to do for a long time, so they secretly booked studio time in Wales for the fall of 2012. Six days into the recording, founding bassist Kim Deal decided to leave the band; Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering made the decision to carry on, working with a variety of touring bassists, something they'd never done. As the UK's DIY wrote about the new music, "They're back. They're still brilliant. God save the Pixies."

TEAM Industries Granted New Patent for SmartPlow™ System | TEAM Industries - Ingenuity and engineering to create innovative driveline solutions for our customers.
Bagley, MN – December6, 2011 - TEAM Industries, today announced the issuance of US Patent No. 8,019,515, entitled, "IMPLEMENT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR AN ALL TERRAIN OR UTILITY VEHILCLE AND METHOD." This patent, issued just two months after the last, raises TEAM Industries' patent portfolio to twelve issued patents.
This newest patent and technology relates to TEAM's SmartPlow™ System, which automatically raises and lowers the plow blade on an ATV or other utility vehicle (UTV) when shifting between forward and reverse. The patent also covers any other type of implement that can be attached to an ATV or UTV that is raised and lowered with an electric winch.
The SmartPlow System controller interfaces with a vehicle's gear selector electronics and electric winch. While plowing, if the operator shifts into reverse, the controller activates the winch and raises the plow to its pre-determined height. The action is reversed once the operator shifts into a forward gear. This automation speeds the plowing process, making it less of a chore, and also reduces the risk of damage to winches and cables caused by operator error.

Music: There's more to come from Judas Priest
JUDAS Priest fans thought it was all over – but there's more to come from the Midland metal maestros.
Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from BirminghamLive - What's On
When Priest made it known that their Epitaph tour, which visits Wolverhampton Civic Hall on July 21, would be their last and co-founder KK Downing announced he was quitting, many feared it was the end for the band.
Not so, says Walsall-born frontman Rob Halford.
''We will still do shows, we just won't do as many,'' he says.
''We're thinking of playing festivals and we're still going to make records – it's important to get that message across. It's not the end of Judas Priest, we're just pulling the reins in a little more.''
While the decision to cut back on the workload was relatively easy to make, the task of replacing KK caused sleepless nights.
''We were absolutely gutted,'' admits Rob. ''It was just before Christmas last year when KK first mentioned he wasn't too keen on doing the farewell tour.
"We thought he might change his mind so we left the door open.
"But all the dates were being booked and we were going 'It ain't going to happen, what are we going to do?'
''We were panicking because me and Glenn knew we had an obligation to the label to get a new record ready so we were hard at work trying to write songs for the album that's coming out next year.
''At the same time, the calendar's going and the clock's ticking and we hadn't got a replacement.''
Eventually, Richie Faulkner from the Lauren Harris Band came to their notice.
''Quite frankly, if we hadn't found Ritchie I don't think any of us would know what we'd be doing right now,'' Rob says.
''We love that guy!
"He's a smashing bloke, a tremendous guitar player, he does all of his parts that he needs to do spot on but he also injects his own ideas and influence and style.
''He'll be the first to admit 'I'm not here to step into KK's shoes because those are too big to fill but I'm just here to do what I need to do and let people see what I can be and what I can do as a Metal guitar player'.
''The fans are loving him, they've really warmed to him. I think they're grateful for him being there.''
If Priest are so keen to continue why have they decided to stop touring?
''We want to keep playing but we don't want to be in a position where it's sounding not as good as it should or it's looking not as good as it should,'' Rob says. ''We're doing two hours and 15 minutes a night and it's a very physically gruelling show, combined with all the travel. We're not complaining, but quite frankly we're not getting any younger. I'll be kicking on the 60-year-old door on August 25.
''We want to ride off into the sunset on a Harley, rather than get halfway there and then fall off, with everybody saying 'that's a bit sad'.''

Many people notice the aesthetic signs of aging earlier than they would expect. Although imperfections such as fine lines and wrinkles, discoloration, and age spots may detract from a person's natural beauty, they are not always severe enough to warrant surgical intervention.
Fortunately, there are less invasive treatments that allow patients to refresh the appearance of the skin without undergoing facial plastic surgery. Laser resurfacing destroys damaged skin cells and promotes the production of collagen to minimize the appearance of imperfections and restore healthier, more youthful looking skin.
The experienced doctors at Arizona Ocular and Facial Plastic Surgery are happy to discuss laser resurfacing recovery, and how our Scottsdale, AZ patients can heal in a timely manner.
In the days and weeks following laser resurfacing, the treatment area will be more sensitive than usual and side effects will develop. In most cases, side effects are minor to moderate. Those who have undergone laser resurfacing liken the initial recovery period to the way the skin feels after getting a moderate sunburn.
Redness: The skin will look red and irritated for the first several days after laser resurfacing. About a week after laser resurfacing, the top layer of skin will start peeling to reveal the new layer of skin beneath. This new skin should not be as bright, but it will be pink in color. The skin will lighten over time.
Swelling: The skin is also likely to appear slightly swollen for the first week or two after laser resurfacing. More delicate skin, such as that beneath the eyes, is especially prone to inflammation.
Itchiness: The skin will probably feel tight and dry after laser resurfacing, which can make it feel itchy. Itchiness will probably be most severe about a week after resurfacing, when the skin begins to flake and peel. As tempting as it may be, it is important not to scratch the skin while it heals from laser resurfacing.
Clean the treated area two to five times a day, using a saline solution. This will help clean away dead skin cells, as well as any pus that may ooze from the treatment site.
Use prescribed ointments as directed to keep the skin moist and promote healing.
Any prescribed medication should also be used as directed to minimize the risk of complications.
Keep the head slightly elevated when sleeping to minimize inflammation.
Use ice packs during the initial phase of recovery to ease discomfort and reduce inflammation.
Avoid the sun as much as possible. After the initial healing period (once dead skin has peeled) sunscreen must be worn every day. Our doctors can recommend a sunscreen that will protect the skin without causing sensitivity.
With proper care, the skin should heal within about two weeks, leaving fresher looking skin with minimal signs of aging.
If you are concerned with the appearance of your facial skin, schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience. The experienced surgeons at Arizona Ocular and Facial Plastic Surgery are ready to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

As some of you may or may not know, back in September of 2006 HostGator made the big move from a small 2000 square-foot office in Boca Raton, Florida, to a four-story 25,000 square-foot building in Houston, Texas. With it went 40 of the 50 HostGator employees, including myself! This was a huge change for HostGator and since then we've expanded to over 100 employees in-house. Imagine only 2 and a half years ago, HostGator had 6 in-house employees and an outsourced support team!

Yep, that is one BIG gator up there. The sign took days to assemble, and caused our ears much grief as they drilled and hammered. Of course, no office is complete without its fair share of cubicles. And we have that covered.
Not everything is about work, and after a hard day of keeping our servers from reaching meltdown status we head over to the game room to relax. Check out that pool table!
Hope you all enjoyed the tour, there is much more to come!
Building looks great and modern. I regret though the cubicles, the most anti-social solution.
Would be nice to see pics of you.
This building picure is fake! its computer rendered image!
I saw the building on the way to Austin for the first time in June. Very impressive!
Was driving down the freeway and almost had a wreck when I saw the Hostgator sign on a building off the side of the freeway ;-), especially since I am searching for better, more reliable hosting and had heard nothing but good things about Hostgator. Couldn't believe HG's actually in my town!
Sounds like Toppy is a little jealous or optimistic!!!
necesitamos soporte tecnico en español.
I saw a Canadian flag and I like that cause I am from there ! good employer hire good employee from Canada WOW !
Fred your an idiot. This is a internet business, you have no idea what country this guy lives in. Web Hosts and software companies have clients from all over the world. I'm tired of retards like you that jump to conclusions.
A P-P-P-POOL TABLE!!!! i wanna work for Hostgator lol..
This is a very old tour. I was using natural lighting instead of flash cause the flash would have made things look bad. The office has greatly changed. Maybe I"ll snap some more photos soon. our new rec room is SICK!
And now we can see this bulding in google's street view in their latest google earth version. It's looking pretty nice, I've spent some time walking around and watching.
I was just looking for a hosting company and saw a comment that I needed to send a reply for. I just saw a comment from an idiot called Fred regarding Ruben asking for support in Spanish. Just a MORON AND RETARD can still think that way where a web hosting business is now a global enterprise. FYI – according to the latest statistics, the number of Spanish speakers on the planet have surpassed the number of English speakers – Spanish is second only to Chinese now. I suggest that retard begins learning Spanish..because he will need it. In my case, I am fluent in English and Spanish to begin with…and other languages…and I love when a company makes the effort to speak MY LANGUAGE…the CUSTOMER LANGUAGE!
very good looking building and inside office looking very good peacefull environment . you are really no 1 hosting company.
I want to work part-time here!!! This looks like a decent place to work at.
Wow amazing place , one day if I could be there..
Vow… Superb working environment. In India we could not see our working environment like this. In one 500 Square feet room, they have 10 computers and 10 employees are working. Oh my god, somebody invented air condition machine. Otherwise all IT professionals will become Sweating machine.
Ok.. Its all about Money and honey for any-thing.
I'm working with hostgator since 2006. I gone to the army just trusting to hostgator. None of my customers has been faced with difficulties when I was in army for 6 mounts.
I am really looking forward to working with these guys. I am going to be starting in the class of March 22nd. So it should be interesting.
Wow…nice office. Would love to be one of those working there..
I live in Houston. I have not seen the building, where is it located? the address or nearby? I can't place it.
I'm calling today to switch from GoDaddy to you. Other that ridiculously slow speed with GD and recommendations that I use you, the deciding factor was that you are here in town. I live in Spring Branch and work in the Heights. Do you allow customer visits?
hi this is ravish from gubbi. i have see your office tour i like that bullding. and nature nice Bueaty.
Ummm, I live in Houston. When can I come visit?
Is there job opening for entry-level candidates? I am currently enrolled at Coleman University's Computer Networking program (Linux included). In addition, I also speak Spanish. Thank you.
Yes there is, check out our jobs section on the website.
HostGator is hands-down the BEST place i have worked! I'm a new hire, and loving every minute of training, the people are nice and they treat their employees like PEOPLE should be treated. Did I mention they give FREEEEE lunch daily! the good stuff, game room is lovely and if you can beat the High Score on the Pinball machine you get a Gift Card! The dress code is relaxed and computers are fast! What else can you ask for.
I hope to work in a place like that in the future.
We host about 90% of our sites with HostGator. Love it. Customer service is excellent. Response to any issues are resolved in a very timely manner.
Great to see a small company grow into a successful business.
i want to know why don't you have any offices in the state of california?
Labor costs, property taxes, state income tax, just to name a few.
What about the salaries? Are they amazing too?
wow! i'm highly impressed with the building and laid back office environment! i used to work at godaddy and it was nothing like this!
ikely have not seen the office yet. So as I promised a hundred times on the forums, here are some pictures of the new office.
Great company and support! Is there any LAMP developer position in Hostgator?
This has got to be one the best decisions I have ever made to start using Host Gator. The only really constructive criticism I have is that there is no support for scripting. This does matter when you get the transfer team to move a server for you, but can't work out the bugs to make it work on the HG server. Although the admins will usually do their best to make sure you are happy. OPEN UP SHOP IN JAPAN!!! You think I am kidding but the moment you come over to Japan you will take about 90% of business. The server and hosting over here especially Value Domain (xrea.coreserver) are the crappiest of crap. It is not if you build it they will come. If you come they will build.
I just want to work with this great office.. I love HOSTGATOR forever…..
I am using host gator from 2 year and not a single problem … and now i know company take care there person so well so they also work best..
Ummm why do i see a Canadian Flag in your office ?
I just checked and it's not there anymore. I wasn't here in 2007 when the pictures were taken, so I have no idea why there is a Canadian flag there.
I love HostGator.. Since 2005 i have moved all the website of all the clients and companies i've worked with including my own companies to this webhosting and it has been great specially the customer support (chat)..
Grate Customer Support……… I Love hostgator.


Bank Nifty spot opened at 19358.70 and made a high of 19392.20, then went down till 19284.35 , before closing at 19355.60 . We had mentioned long positions can be taken above 19410 and short positions can be taken below 19273 for the day. Bank Nifty traded the whole day between our long and short trigger levels today indicating lack of direction . As mentioned in the previous post 'Now we need to see Nifty break and sustain above 8735 spot to enable Bank Nifty to continue this upmove and if Nifty does not break above 8735 - 8742 levels then we may see Bank Nifty also witnessing profit booking and testing 19000 levels again' . Bank Nifty has been taking support near 18444 - 18537 levels and recovering since the past 3 weeks and for now one should watch the breaking of these levels for further correction . Since breaking above 19297 Bank Nifty has been taking support near 19237 which is our confirmation level for weekly shorts and now one should watch breaking and sustaining below it this week for a test of 19128 - 19158 levels where the next support exists . As have been mentioning in the previous post of last week ' Now Bank Nifty has immediate resistance at 19128 - 19158 levels where it has been taking resistance in the past 21 sessions and it needs to break and sustain above it to test upto 19295 - 19340 levels' which has been done and held since the past 4 sessions . Trend continuation in Bank Nifty for this series was on consecutive close above 19297 and now holding these levels we can see it test 19600 - 19800 levels initially . Patience of traders are being tested by the narrow moves which becoming narrower each day and we should see a break of this range this week.


For Haegue Yang's first solo exhibition in the Nordic region she presents a series of new works conceived especially for Bergen Kunsthall. Yang's works are internationally appreciated, and known for their eloquent and seductive language of visual abstraction that is often combined with sensory experiences. Lesser known is her ongoing research, which is empowered by close readings of connecting biographical narratives of historical figures, and builds on underlying references to cultural, social and political history.
Continuing her dialogue with the canon of modernist art, this time Yang explores her interest in the figurative and spatial elements of the Bauhaus master Oskar Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet from 1922. To do this Yang has transformed the exhibition space into an experimental stage where sculptures and wall pieces form both scenic elements and active protagonists. This expansive installation consists of a series of new sculptures on casters or on steel wire, wall paintings and new collages in the Trustworthies series. These collages make use of used envelopes and sandpaper composed into a geometry of patterns and compositions that build a simultaneous staging of figures and spaces.
Yang occupies the exhibition space with sophisticated sensory experiences that include scent, sound, light and tactility. The Sonic Rotating Lines envelop the exhibition with sound, creating a specific atmosphere that is visual, spatial and aural. These 'straight lines' and 'broken lines' are wall-mounted objects that are covered with small nickel bells, and can be propelled into rotation by hand, which transforms the 'lines' into 'circles', disintegrating the rigorous physical geometry into another illusory geometry of circles. The act of spinning also causes the bells to tinkle, filling the surrounding space with a rhythm of sound, which corresponds to the speed of rotation. Bells have been a recurring element in a number of Yang's works over the past few years; only very recently have they been used as a principal material in several new sculptures, including Sonicwears (2013) and Sonic Dances (2013).
Mobility and motion have been another focus for Yang over the past few years. Mobility is associated here, not only in purely physical or formal terms (with mechanical devices and kinetic constructions), but also in political and historical terms. Mobility and motion correspond to major concerns to which Yang constantly returns: migration, postcolonial diasporas, enforced exile, social mobility or what one could perhaps call 'lifetime mobility'. With her mobile performative sculptures Yang negates the static furnishings of the exhibition space with its fixed installations and carefully placed objects. By allowing the sculptures to move Yang introduces instability and continuous change into an otherwise solid institutional framework. Understood as complex concepts, motion and mobility become a fruitful focus for Yang's multi-faceted artistic exploration.
Yang's works are grounded in considerable research in political history. Working with this source material, she links various geopolitical contexts and histories in an attempt to understand or comment on our own time. These investigations are often closely connected with personal experiences, but also with the biographies of well known historical figures. Yang studies the stories of these people and uses their work and life stories both as inspiration and as a historical prism. However, in the finished works these underlying investigations are often hidden or disguised – translated into an abstract formal idiom.
This translation – from the political and historical into the formal and abstract – constitutes one of the fundamental strategies in Yang's praxis. She demonstrates an unshakable faith that historical narratives can be made comprehensible through the language of visual art, without being linguistically explanatory in an objective or didactic way. Yang's works are often informed by this dynamic shift between hiding and displaying, revealing and concealing.
This catalogue accompanies two parallel solo exhibitions held in the autumn of 2013 by Haegue Yang: Journal of Bouba/kiki at Glasgow Sculpture Studios, Glasgow, Scotland (5 October – 20 December 2013); and Journal of Echomimetic Motions at Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen, Norway (18 October – 22 December 2013). This new collaborative publication, Dare to Count Phonemes and Graphemes, has evolved within the framework of these geographically separate, yet collaboratively conceived exhibitions. While each exhibition was an independent manifestation, they both are intrinsically linked to Yang's continuous artistic evolution. The developments shown are emblematic of the artist's recent projects, focusing on the ideas of abstraction and motion. This catalogue presents two newly commissioned texts, as well as an interview between Yang and the respective curators of the exhibitions, which explore the artist's distinctive and diverse work.

How Sanders and Warren Will Decide Which One Runs for President
The two senators are natural allies. But when it comes to 2020, each side's camp believes the Democratic primary is only big enough for one of them.
By David Catanese

It was April 2014 and Bernie Sanders was seriously pondering the notion of diving into the 2016 presidential race. But as the senator from Vermont huddled with his advisers inside a Capitol Hill townhouse one balmy Wednesday evening, he wondered if he could compete against a political heavyweight on the ascent.
The woman he dreaded running against was being recruited by liberals across the country. Petitions were being drafted and signed en masse. Professional progressive leaders were prodding, coaxing, and tempting her. The country was "ready" for her candidacy, they pleaded.
But Elizabeth Warren was repeatedly adamant in her public professions: She wasn't interested.
Still, Sanders watched the organic campaign warily, wondering if the enthusiasm for Warren forestalled his own opportunity for an insurgency. "He kind of hesitated," recalls a Sanders adviser, who, like other sources in this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. "He was worried about it."
New to the national limelight as a first-term senator from Massachusetts, Warren was averse to an inevitably bloody battle with the front-running Hillary Clinton. She never opened the door to 2016, giving Sanders the chance to seize the moment and inspire a movement.
Democrats' pledge to reject corporate-PAC money is mostly symbolic.
Now, four years later, as the 76-year-old Sanders positions himself toward a second run for president, it's Warren who again looms largest over his designs. At a January strategy meeting at the Washington, D.C., apartment of the aide Ari Rabin-Havt, Sanders acknowledged to confidantes in the room that the biggest threat to his pursuit of the 2020 nomination would be the 69-year-old former Harvard Law professor, according to a person familiar with the discussion.
As the two most recognizable faces of the progressive movement, Sanders and Warren are natural allies on a host of liberal causes, none more so than the economic inequalities that strain the nation. And yet each side's camp believes that when it comes to the next presidential contest, the Democratic primary is only big enough for one of them.
Advisers to both senators tell me they strongly doubt the two ideological allies would run against each other, given their genuine mutual fondness and the sober realization that their support bases vastly overlap. To do so would likely mean mutually assured destruction.
So which one goes? And how will they decide?
The ultimate resolution of this progressive predicament will be one of the most crucial factors in the fast-approaching battle on the left to topple President Donald Trump. The gathering threat of Sanders and Warren doesn't seem lost on the president. In an echo of his approach to his competitors in 2016, he's rebranded them with the disparaging monikers "Crazy Bernie" and "Pocahontas." Recently, Trump has openly fantasized about debating Warren and presenting her with a genetic-testing kit to prove her claimed Native American heritage.
At the same time, allies of Warren and Sanders are beginning to privately pick apart their would-be competitor's political pedigree, casting their favorite as the far superior choice to go up against the president. At this early stage of the race, their comments could be seen as mere posturing. But they are nevertheless revealing, exposing fault lines between the two lawmakers that could soon spill into public view.
Sanders advisers and allies believe he's earned the right of first refusal: He was the runner-up to Clinton, galvanized a fresh flock of young voters, and fundamentally reframed the issue matrix for a hyper-progressive party going forward. He would start with a leg up: a nationally tested organization with the hardened experience of one presidential run already under its belt, an email list of 7 million proven donors, and the ability to raise hundreds of millions of dollars. (Tim Tagaris, Sanders's digital–fund-raising guru, has privately floated a range of between $275 million and $300 million for a primary campaign, one aide recalls.) A common refrain bandied about in Bernieland is that Sanders won at least 40 percent of the primary vote in 37 states.
"When you look at the Democratic Party—even Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren—they don't have a 50-state organization, as large a fund-raising base, and they don't have as fully formed an agenda like Bernie's," says Mark Longabaugh, a Sanders adviser and part of the campaign's 2016 advertising team.
Meanwhile, those in Warren's world, including outside activists who are encouraging a 2020 bid, note that she'd be the natural person to whom the older Sanders could pass the torch. They say she'd enjoy a higher ceiling of support with a broader constituency, due to her fortified relationships with both the progressive and more establishment wings of the party. (Warren's team declined to comment on the record about Sanders, though her spokeswoman, Kristen Orthman, told me that "Elizabeth has great respect for Bernie, his leadership, and the grassroots organization he has built.")
The senator from Massachusetts is also more strategic in her fights, her allies say, adding that many Clintonites still hold a bitter grudge against Sanders. "Warren has achieved the remarkable feat of increasing her cred with the base over the years while also increasing her power inside the Beltway," says Adam Green, a co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee who has all but endorsed a Warren White House bid. And Warren's careful nourishment of her relationships—with fellow senators, state and federal regulators, and watchdog groups—gives her "by far the largest national network of any presidential candidate," Green added.
There's also a grudge on the Sanders side that Warren may have to contend with, over her past support for Clinton. "Her refusal to support Bernie spoke loudly," says Cornel West, the philosopher and political activist who backed Sanders in 2016. He was referring to her largely neutral position during the Democratic primary; she's previously explained that she didn't want to tip the race in either candidate's direction. "People can see the discrepancy between principle and practice there," West says. "I don't think she hardly gave Bernie a chance and Bernie was saying exactly what she stood for … She's not the same kind of progressive that Bernie is."
While both Sanders and Warren embody a similar populist ideology, there are degrees of difference in their approach, style, and tactics. For starters, Sanders is a democratic socialist who is not a formal member of the Democratic Party, even though he's used the party banner to run for president. "The biggest difference is the relationship with the party. His relationship is much more tense," says George Goehl, the director of the liberal group People's Action who worked with Warren on financial reforms after the 2008 crisis. People's Action members were largely Sanders's delegates to the last national convention. "Warren has a base that's beyond—that is different than Bernie's," Goehl added.
On the Hill, their reputations diverge. Unlike Sanders, Warren has made a concerted effort to co-sponsor legislation with Republicans. In recent months, she's partnered with Senator Cory Gardner of Colorado on marijuana, Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina on predatory lending, and Senator Steve Daines of Montana on National Guard pay.
Why Democrats don't need a national message for the midterms
"In general, I have found [Sanders's] legislative proposals to be more prophetic than pragmatic, and I see Senator Warren trying hard to sort of dig into details and learn how to do blocking and tackling and advancing things," says Senator Chris Coons, a moderate Democrat from Delaware. "She's done bills with Senator [John] Cornyn for example," referring to the conservative majority whip. "I'd be surprised if Senator Sanders has done bills with Senator Cornyn."
Even on economic policy—their bread and butter—Warren and Sanders disagree on some of the fundamentals. Sanders has famously decried capitalism, describing it in a 2016 primary debate as "a process by which so few have so much and so many have so little." Despite her fiery anti-corporate rhetoric, Warren remains a capitalist; in a recent MSNBC appearance, she said, "I believe in markets right down to my toes."
Overall, those close to Warren see a somewhat subtle, but meaningful, distinction between her core brand and Sanders's. They tag him as primarily an advocate for bigger, more activist government, while arguing that her emphasis has been oversight and accountability for powerful people. That's a delicate way of framing Warren as the more salable contender to a national audience: Sanders wants more government in your lives, but Warren just wants it to be more efficient and transparent.
Those in Sanders's world have an inverse interpretation: Warren is a technocratic academic who revels in arcane regulatory and personnel fights, while Sanders is a folk hero who pounds the pavement and rouses the masses to big-ticket causes. The favored example of the moment: transforming "Medicare for all" into a mainstream position for Democratic candidates across the country. At a June book party for his campaign manager, the senator cited this as an example of how he "won" in 2016.
"Her message is very similar on Wall Street, financial regulation, inequality, etcetera. But on education, health care, climate change, immigration, foreign policy—Bernie has either developed detailed proposals and policies or outlined a worldview that Warren has not," Longabaugh says. Of course, Warren hasn't run a presidential campaign before.
Gender and race will almost certainly be important factors in the next Democratic primary, influencing not only which candidates gain steam, but how they approach different voter groups, too.
While she's never fashioned herself a natural champion of identity politics, Warren likely understands that being a woman would be an asset in a party deeply scarred by its inability to elect the first female president and reinvigorated by woman voters' vehement opposition to Trump.
Still, gender inevitably creeps into assessments of Warren's vulnerabilities, too, with anxious operatives quietly pondering the risks of putting up another woman against Trump's machismo.
"They'll try to do what they did to [Nancy] Pelosi … Make her radioactive," admits an activist aligned with Warren. Jay Nixon, the moderate former Democratic governor of Missouri, told me he considers Warren a stronger candidate than Sanders over the long term, but thinks it's "very difficult for a Massachusetts woman to be seen as anything else than a liberal woman here in the heartland."
One challenge that both Sanders and Warren seem to be dashing to address is incorporating a racial equality and justice component more prominently into their messages. Sanders famously struggled with black voters in 2016, with Clinton dominating in key contests throughout the South.
Since then, he's fostered closer relationships with high-profile African American leaders, such as Reverend William Barber, the North Carolina pastor who has become a key figure in the modern civil-rights battle, and Chokwe Antar Lumumba, the 35-year-old Millennial mayor who has promised to make Jackson, Mississippi, "the most radical city on the planet" through "economic democracy." In April, Sanders crisscrossed the South, marching with Reverend Al Sharpton in Memphis and participating in a predominantly black town hall in Jackson. In June, Sanders protested California's incarceration rates in Los Angeles with leaders of Black Lives Matter.
Yet even as Sanders courted black voters this spring, he stepped on a land mine by appearing to diminish Barack Obama during one appearance. "The business model, if you like, of the Democratic Party [over] the last 15 years or so has been a failure," he said. "People sometimes don't see that because there was a charismatic individual named Barack Obama." That agitated some African American activists and observers who were already skeptical of Sanders's commitment to their cause.
Jennifer Epps-Addison, the network president of the Center for Popular Democracy Action, says both senators have ample room to grow their appeal with black voters, but that Sanders has further to go in proving himself. "One of the challenges I've had with Bernie Sanders is … we've heard from him at times speak of the rejection of identity politics. Women of color have shown this is not a moment where we want to abandon naming the various ways communities are excluded," Epps-Addison says. "For him to pick up votes in the South and gain support among black women—we need to see him really make an effort to engage the leaders in our communities and really have an openness to hearing them.
"The challenge of Bernie Sanders is, how does he not just repeat or use the same playbook as he used in 2016?" she added. "How does he evolve and grow?"
Warren doesn't have "that same barrier to overcome," Epps-Addison adds. The senator from Massachusetts has gradually, but pointedly, made nods to racial strife in public appearances. Most notably, in rising to oppose the nomination of Attorney General Jeff Sessions on the Senate floor last year, she read a letter from Coretta Scott King protesting Sessions's tenure as a U.S. attorney in Alabama. After Republican leaders interrupted her, the moment spawned the hashtag #ShePersisted.
'Nevertheless, she persisted' and the age of the weaponized meme
More recently, at the liberal Netroots Nation conference in New Orleans earlier this month, Warren decried the criminal-justice system as "racist … front to back," and pinpointed African Americans and Latinos as targets of predatory mortgage sellers. She's also elevated the concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement to equal importance of those of the white working class, decrying the deaths of Eric Garner and Freddie Gray. "When you're treated like a suspect every minute of your life, yeah, the system is rigged," she said in a speech last year, reappropriating her Wall Street–centered slogan to address racial inequities.
"She's not a white male, and doesn't have the racial blind spots of Sanders," says the activist close to Warren. And her womanhood matters, Epps-Addison says. "Elizabeth Warren represents an opportunity to support a woman, but also one who is really fully embedded in our core values, without having to hold our nose when we go to the polls," she says. "I think she'll benefit from that."
The challenge for both would-be candidates to win over black voters—among others—would get trickier if Senator Kamala Harris of California or Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey also enters the race.
Sanders's team sees Booker as an especially potent threat. According to two sources familiar with the senator's thinking, Sanders himself sees Booker as more naturally talented than Harris and someone who's shown he can dazzle an audience with soaring, Obamalike rhetoric. "Booker could cut through in Iowa because he's a good speaker and the base likes that," says the Sanders adviser. "If he can score early and get to the South, then he's off to the races."
Sanders has mused aloud privately with aides about what they can do to recapture the magic of his 2016 experience. Having accumulated significant power inside the party since the election, neither he nor Warren is a completely new face and won't be seen as an insurgent—an advantage that Sanders had when he went up against Clinton.
That may help explain why Team Bernie isn't shy about wanting a big field—to them, the more folks fighting over the so-called establishment flank, the merrier. It could help distinguish Sanders from the rest of the Democratic pack. "I think a big primary would be helpful," says Jeff Weaver, Sanders's 2016 campaign manager. "It's important for a party to have a vigorous and civilized primary debate because it excites people."
At this moment in the dead of summer, Sanders and Warren have nothing but effusive praise for each other in public, and their aides say the admiration is real. Sanders has called Warren his "favorite senator" and one Sanders aide I spoke with went as far as to say "he loves her" and finds her "brilliant and inspiring."
Both senators have reelection races at home this year, against largely nominal opponents, but they both appear to be laying the groundwork for future campaigns. Sanders is largely ignoring his challenger, and instead sticking to a bracing national schedule to stump for a fleet of progressive candidates and causes. Warren, on the other hand, is building a Massachusetts-based machine—hiring upwards of 70 staffers, attracting more than 1 million donors, and holding more than $15 million in cash on hand. The campaign seems designed to test-drive tactics, crowd building, and voter modeling, giving Warren the political muscle for a national run.
Sometime after the midterms, allies of both senators expect the duo to sit down together and chat about their next moves. They'll do the appropriate mulling and participate in the time-honored tradition of consulting family members over the holidays.
But, "his decision is an audience of one: Elizabeth Warren," the Sanders adviser says bluntly. No matter his appetite for running, he's conscious of her potency. "They have to sit down and figure out who's going," the adviser added.
Don't expect either of them to wait very long to make the decision.
Last time around, Sanders's team instructed him that the quicker he moved, the faster he would stomp out the Draft Warren movement. Now they are urging an even earlier entry, "to cut off the lure to get her in." The message to Sanders from one aide, "Be in the race by early 2019."
For Warren, it's not about money—she'll have it. It's not a question of core beliefs or message—she's got them both. The women's vote has never been hungrier. She's positioned to swoop it up.
As her team strategizes about the future, the single greatest question they'll confront is actually quite simple: How badly does she want to be president?


Hyperscalers and other cloud service providers, like Amazon, Facebook and Uber, with their millions of servers apiece, are constantly in search of new ways to grow and scale. Over the past five years the number of internet users has grown at a rate of more than ten new user per second! And today's internet currently transmits over 47,000 Gigabytes of traffic every second! In order to meet mounting network demand from internet and social economies, and deliver fast, reliable service, these global network operators are increasingly shifting computing, application, and content resources closer to local markets.
This shift opens up two major opportunity areas: adaptation of existing telco central office infrastructure and the rapid integration of co-location or interconnect facilities into cloud-based networks. Both have the net effect of making application and platform service delivery easier to activate for customers.
The central office's classic architecture is ideal for minimizing CAPEX and maximizing real estate usage and through its redundant HVAC, NEBS compliance and substantial peering to larger carriers and routes. And with close to 20,000 central offices in the U.S. alone, this option offers many pathways for shifting infrastructure closer to the edge.
Additionally, today's software defined networks and distributed computing architectures are simpler to implement-making it easier to turn up capacity and application services. If providers leverage existing interconnection facilities with the right power utilization effectiveness mix, they can accelerate applications and aggregate traffic, funneling data efficiently into collection and analytics systems.
ARRIS's broad portfolio of cloud, data center, and fiber-centric solutions is uniquely positioned to help providers re-architect smaller central offices and interconnect facilities into highly-effective data centers at scale and at the right cost. We've helped bring over 400 data centers and over 100,000 km of fiber online. For more information, reach out to us here.
