Braking the speeding habit on the I-15 to Las Vegas - latimes.com:

LAS VEGAS — Call it the Vegas itch. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-las-vegas-speeding-20130802,0,4139129.story
After hours of endless desert straightaways, the garish lights of Primm are just a taste of the Strip, which shimmers just over the next ocher-colored mountain or two.
Once in Nevada, the two-lane highway spills into four lanes. For all too many motorists, the odometer spins: 80 mph quickly becomes 90, then 100 and faster. Along the 26 miles between Primm and the southernmost tip of the Strip, many vehicles hit the radar at triple-digit velocity. The average speed for vehicles pulled over is 95 mph, 25 mph over the posted limit.
A Lamborghini was clocked a few years back going 187 mph. The trooper who issued the ticket keeps a framed copy in his office."

Nevada troopers are clamping down on speeding on Interstate 15 from the California state line to Las Vegas, a stretch where fast driving often has deadly results.
For many motorists headed here from Southern California, the obvious scratch is to gun the engine down that impossibly long incline on Interstate 15 across the Nevada border into Primm, adrenaline pumping, answering Sin City's dizzying siren call.After hours of endless desert straightaways, the garish lights of Primm are just a taste of the Strip, which shimmers just over the next ocher-colored mountain or two.

The Best from ‘Mad Dog Mattis’
The Best from ‘Mad Dog Mattis’
BY: Washington Free Beacon Staff March 18, 2013 (Retrieved August 7, 2013)
16 best quotes from the retiring Gen. James Mattis
Gen. James Mattis, known to his troops as “Mad Dog Mattis,” is retiring after 41 years of military service.
The Marine Corps Times is calling Mattis the “most revered Marine in a generation.”
Mattis has been commander of the United States Central Command since 2010 and led the 1st Marine Division into Iraq in 2003.
According to reports, President Barack Obama decided to force the Marine Corps legend out early because he rubbed civilian officials the wrong way, and forced them to answer tough questions regarding Iran.
Mattis was an inspirational leader of men and his powerful words will go down in history.
Here are some of the best words that the “Mad Dog” has had to offer:

Reflections of a Newsosaur: Digital doctor Bezos takes on the ailing Post
Reflections of a Newsosaur: Digital doctor Bezos takes on the ailing Post:
http://newsosaur.blogspot.com/2013/08/digital-doctor-bezos-takes-on-ailing.html
"The purchase of the struggling Washington Post by Jeff Bezos may be the best news the news industry has had in a long time, because it finally puts a true digital native at the helm of a newspaper company.
Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon.Com, is uniquely equipped to bring unprecedented innovation and fresh energy to an industry whose managers run their businesses like the people of Cuba treat their 1953 Plymouths: tinkering with them just enough to keep them running. "
While the people in Cuba unfortunately have no other options, the newspaper industry has been sputtering toward irrelevance for the better part of a decade because editors and publishers either don’t like or don’t get digital publishing. Perhaps, it’s a bit of both.
Either way, Bezos, who is paying $250 million of his own money to buy the newspaper from the heirs of the man who purchased it out bankruptcy in 1933, now has the opportunity to show publishers how to do digital. And it’s a safe bet he will grab it.
With a personal fortune topping $25 billion, Bezos has the demonstrated means, insight and patience to re-envision the business model of an industry that has lost more than half of its primary revenue stream since advertising sales peaked at $49.4 billion in 2005.

Chris Cillizza and Sean Sullivan: Why you shouldn’t underestimate Elizabeth Warren
Why you shouldn’t underestimate Elizabeth Warren:

When we first put freshman Sen. Elizabeth Warren on our rankings of the 10 Democrats most likely to wind up as the party’s presidential nominee in 2016, many people scoffed.
She just got elected! She’s not interested in running! It’s too damn early! Get off my lawn! (All but that last one is true.)"

She just got elected! She’s not interested in running! It’s too damn early! Get off my lawn! (All but that last one is true.)"
But, a new Quinnipiac poll proves why Warren would be formidable in 2016 if she decided to run. Using a feeling thermometer — 0 meaning you feel totally cold about a politician, 100 meaning you feel warmly (aka) strong favorably toward a pol — Quinnipiac tested the majority of major national figures.
Warren finished third — behind only New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (53.1 degrees) and Hillary Clinton (52.1 degrees). She finished ahead of, among others, President Obama, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Vice President Joe Biden.
Here’s why the thermometer matters — and matters for Warren in particular.

Windows 8's user share growth slowed significantly in July, hinting at further trouble for the struggling operating system, new statistics from an analytics company show.
The operating system's user share grew by the smallest month-over-month amount since its launch in October 2012, said Web measurement vendor Net Applications. At the end of July, Windows 8 accounted for 5.9 percent of all systems running Windows, an increase of three-tenths of a percentage point compared to June.
From November 2012 through July 2013, Windows 8's user share grew by an average of six-tenths of a point each month, with lows in February and April of five-tenths and a high in June of nine-tenths of a percentage point.
July's increase was about a third of June's." ...

Digital usage overtaking all legacy
media http://newsosaur.blogspot.com/2013/08/digital-usage-overtaking-all-legacy.html
Americans this year are likely to spend as many hours consuming content on digital devices as the combined amount of time that they devote to gazing at TV and paging through print, according to eMarketer, a research-aggregation service.
After culling through reports from more than 40 institutions, eMarketer forecasts that the average amount of time likely to be spent on digital media this year will climb to five hours and 9 minutes (5:09), as compared with 4:31 in 2012.
If the prediction holds true, then the amount of time spent with digital media will for the first time surpass the roughly 4½ hours per day that Americans historically have watched television.
While TV heretofore has been unchallenged as the most popular medium, the shift to digital consumption (as discussed previously here) could create considerable static for local broadcasters. " ... http://newsosaur.blogspot.com/2013/08/digital-usage-overtaking-all-legacy.html

If you're in the market for an Android tablet, the new Nexus 7 is the one to get. And if you're got the old one lying around, considering trading it in for this one.
"The original Nexus 7 was merely a bargain, a good-enough tablet at a great price. The new Nexus 7 is a downright steal. It’s the best 7-inch tablet, period. Google has redefined budget tablet so that it no longer refers to cheap-feeling, sub-$200 devices. You can now grab a svelte, premium 7-inch tablet with a high-resolution screen, wireless charging, quad-core processor, and 2GB of RAM for a measly $229.
The revamped Nexus 7 is more than just the next stock Android gadget offering from Google. It’s the company’s re-do of what it should have done right the first time. The search (and maps, and mail, and…) giant, with its ginormous, seemingly all-inclusive Android ecosystem, has finally entered the premium tablet market."

Washington Post to be sold to Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon
Washington Post to be sold to Jeff Bezos, the founder of
Amazon
By Paul
Farhi, Published: August 5, 2013
The Washington Post Co. agreed Monday to sell
its flagship newspaper to Amazon.com founder and chief executive Jeffrey P.
Bezos, ending the Graham family’s stewardship of one of America’s leading news
organizations after four generations.
Bezos, whose entrepreneurship has made him one
of the world’s richest men, will pay $250 million in cash for The Post and affiliated publications to The Washington Post Co., which owns the newspaper and other businesses.
Seattle-based Amazon will have no role in the purchase; Bezos himself will buy the
news organization and become its sole owner when the sale is completed,
probably within 60 days. The Post Co. will get
a new, still undecided name and continue as a publicly traded company without
the newspaper.
The deal represents a sudden and stunning turn
of events for The Post, Washington’s leading newspaper for decades and a
powerful force in shaping the nation’s politics and policy. Few people were
aware that a sale was in the works for the paper, an institution that has
covered presidents and local communities and gained worldwide attention for its
stories about the Watergate scandal and, in June, disclosures about National Security Agency surveillance programs…

LOS ANGELES — Jeff Bezos, the Amazon.com founder who helped bring books into the digital age, is going after another pillar of “old media”: The Washington Post.
Bezos, 49, struck a deal announced Monday to buy the venerable Washington broadsheet and other newspapers for $250 million. It was a startling demonstration of how the Internet has created winners and losers and transformed the media landscape."

Bezos, 49, struck a deal announced Monday to buy the venerable Washington broadsheet and other newspapers for $250 million. It was a startling demonstration of how the Internet has created winners and losers and transformed the media landscape."

Unlike armed conflicts of the past, there was really nothing conclusive about the end of the active hostilities.
There has never been a peace treaty. Technically, the Korean War never ended. To this day, the U.S. still maintains 28,500 troops in South Korea in an effort to maintain an uneasy peace.
Growing up in Carroll County in the 1950s, I recall very little mention of the Korean War. At the time, Carroll, like much of the country, was trying to get accustomed to a new post-World War II economy. Residents were busy with new houses, jobs and the task of raising young families that followed the six years of World War II.
Many historians refer to the Korean conflict as "The Forgotten War." I tend to refer to it as "The Inconvenient War." History has unceremoniously relegated it to a footnote wedged in between World War II and Vietnam.

"Michele Catalano refused to grant interviews or answer questions after her blog post went viral Thursday
The Internet went wild on Thursday for a blog post written by a Long Island journalist who claimed that a Google search for "pressure cooker" and "backpack" had led police to her doorstep. Turns out that wasn’t really the case. Michele Catalano wrote a post on Medium that claimed “six agents from the joint terrorism task force” came to her front door as a result of the searches. “Little did we know our seemingly innocent, if curious to a fault, Googling of certain things was creating a perfect storm of terrorism profiling,” she wrote. “Because somewhere out there, someone was watching." At a time of Edward Snowden and heightened paranoia over NSA surveillance, the implication was clear: Everyone is being watched. Always."

Cities and towns across the country are pushing municipal unions to accept cheaper health benefits in anticipation of a component of the Affordable Care Act that will tax expensive plans starting in 2018.
The so-called Cadillac tax was inserted into the Affordable Care Act at the advice of economists who argued that expensive health insurancewith the employee bearing little cost made people insensitive to the cost of care. In public employment, though, where benefits are arrived at through bargaining with powerful unions, switching to cheaper plans will not be easy.
Cities including New York and Boston, and school districts from Westchester County, N.Y., to Orange County, Calif., are warning unions that if they cannot figure out how to rein in health care costs now, the price when the tax goes into effect will be steep, threatening raises and even jobs.
