The Panasonic HC-V700M ($599.99 list) ?is one of the few consumer camcorders?that can record full 1080p60 video, and it adds solid image stabilization and a versatile 26x optical zoom. It lacks Wi-Fi and some of the other the bells and whistles found in competing models, but it delivers excellent video quality even in low light, which earns the HC-V700M our Editors' Choice.?
Design and Features
There isn't much deviance in consumer camcorder design these days, with the familiar barrel-like shape, handgrip, and swing out LCD, which are all found on the HC-V700M. At 2.2 by 2.7 by 4.7 inches (HWD) and 9.6 ounces, the Panasonic HC-V700M looks like most other camcorders in its class. Button placement is also fairly standard, with the zoom rocker and still image shutter on top, with the Record button on the back, where your thumb naturally sits. To the left of the zoom rocker is an Auto/Manual button and Image Stabilization button. To the right is a slider to change between Video, Photo, and Playback modes. Inside the LCD recess are mini USB, mini HDMI, and AV out ports, as well as a 3.5mm microphone input, Power button, and 1080i60/p60 toggle button. ?
At 3 inches with a 460k-dot resolution, the LCD is sharp and bright enough for outdoor use. It's a big improvement over the 260k-dot LCD found on the Canon Vixia HF R300 ?and the Canon Vixia HF M50?, but lags behind the 921k-dot resolution of the JVC Everio GZ-GX1?. The LCD is touch-enabled, and menu navigation is responsive. Full auto mode is fast and accurate, so you probably won't need to dig into the menu for finer adjustments. Manual mode puts focus, white balance, shutter speed, and iris adjustments within easy reach, but changing video quality and some other features requires digging deeper into standard list menus.
Performance
The HC-V700M uses a 1/2.33-inch MOS sensor with a 21x optical zoom lens that covers a 28-717.4mm (35mm equivalent) focal range. The wide angle lens is good for capturing larger scenes in tight quarters and the zoom is longer than the 10x reach found on competitors like the Vixia HF M50, but not quite as long as the 25x zoom found on the Sony HDR-PJ200. The lens opens up to f/1.8 aperture at the wide end and f/3.5 at its telephoto reach. It lets in half the amount of light as the Everio GZ-GX1, with its f/1.2 aperture, but the HC-V700M surpasses the that camera?in low light scenarios.
Both indoors and out, the HC-V700M delivers exceedingly crisp video. In low light tests, the HC-V700M was able to maintain fine details, even in some darker shadows. There was virtually no image noise and colors were generally true to life. I did notice some instances of inaccurate or slow white balance, which would give video a yellow tint. Outdoor footage was equally sharp, with vibrant colors and accurate exposure. Shooting in 1080p60 produced smooth and fluid action, with very little blurring or loss of detail. I noticed mild color fringing outdoors, with purple edges on objects with bright backgrounds, but it was less pronounced and less frequent than the fringing that popped up with the GZ-GX1. The overall video quality was consistently sharper and smoother than the Vixia HF M50, which also excelled in low light, but tops out at 1080i60.
Image stabilization is very good, even at the telephoto extreme. Zooming in and panning across scenes is smooth, with very mild and unobtrusive shakes. There was occasional lag before quick pan shots, but it wasn't too egregious and definitely preferable to a shaky shot. Audio quality was also good in my tests; the V700M was able to pick up voices loud and clear, but outdoors the camcorder picked up a lot of environmental noise like cars driving by or rustling of trees. Still image quality, like most other camcorders, leaves something to be desired. Image noise is generally kept low, but a persistent graininess muddles some finer details, even in good light.
The V700M records in AVCHD only, while the Canon Vixia models offer the option to record in both AVCHD and MP4 format. Keep in mind that some editing programs, like iMovie, do not support AVCHD at 1080p60, so you'll need to convert your videos accordingly. The camera includes 16GB of built-in memory and has a single card slot that accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. The mini HDMI port allows for playback on HDTVs and the mini USB port facilitates file transfers between camcorder and computer. The V700M lacks any Wi-Fi connectivity, which is included on both the Canon HF M50 and JVC GZ-GX1. An included AC adapter charges the removable battery.?
Conclusions
In terms of pure video performance, it's hard to find fault with the Panasonic HC-V700M. It delivered some of the sharpest and most detail-rich video we've seen in a midrange consumer camcorder, but it also lacks some of the extra features of its competitors. The JVC Everio GZ-GX1 is also capable of 1080p60 video and includes a suite of genuinely useful Wi-Fi features, but it can't compete with the crisp and clear video of the HC-V700M, especially indoors or in low light. The Canon Vixia HF M50 comes close in terms of video quality and it has some Wi-Fi features, but tops out at 1080i60 and costs $50 more. If your budget is limited, the Canon Vixia HF R300, our entry-level Editors' Choice, offers solid overall video performance for its $350 price.

NEW DELHI (AP) ? India's energy crisis cascaded?over half the country Tuesday when three of its regional grids collapsed, leaving 620 million people without government-supplied electricity for several hours in, by far, the world's biggest blackout.
Hundreds of trains stalled across the country and traffic lights went out, causing widespread traffic jams in New Delhi. Electric crematoria stopped operating, some with bodies half burnt, power officials said. Emergency workers rushed generators to coal mines to rescue miners trapped underground.
The massive failure - a day after a similar, but smaller power failure - has raised serious concerns about India's outdated infrastructure and the government's inability to meet its huge appetite for energy as the country aspires to become a regional economic superpower.
Power Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde blamed the new crisis on states taking more than their allotted share of electricity.
"Everyone overdraws from the grid. Just this morning I held a meeting with power officials from the states and I gave directions that states that overdraw should be punished. We have given instructions that their power supply could be cut," he told reporters.
The new power failure affected 620 million people across 20 of India's 28 states - about double the population of the United States. The blackout was unusual in its reach, stretching from the border with Myanmar in the northeast to the Pakistani border about 3,000 kilometers (1,870 miles) away. Its impact, however, was softened by Indians' familiarity with frequent blackouts and the widespread use of backup generators for major businesses and key facilities such as hospitals and airports.
Shinde later said power was fully restored in the northeast grid four hours after it went down, and that the north grid had 45 percent power and the east grid 35 percent. R.N. Nayak, chairman of Power Grid Corp., which runs the nation's power system, said he expected to have full power later in the evening.
Oddly, as the crisis dragged into the evening, Shinde was promoted, becoming India's home minister, its top internal security official. The promotion had been planned previously as part of a greater Cabinet shuffle before he presided over the world's two worst power outages.
The outages came just a day after India's northern power grid collapsed for several hours. Indian officials managed to restore power several hours later, but at 1:05 p.m. Tuesday the northern grid collapsed again, said Shailendre Dubey, an official at the Uttar Pradesh Power Corp. in India's largest state. About the same time, the eastern grid failed and then the northeastern grid followed, energy officials in those regions said. The grids serve more than half India's population.
In West Bengal, express trains and local electric trains were stopped at stations across the state of West Bengal on the eastern grid. Crowds of people thronged the stations, waiting for any transport to take them to their destinations.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said it would take at least 10 to 12 hours to restore power and asked office workers to go home.
"The situation is very grave. We are doing everything to restore power," West Bengal Power Minister Manish Gupta said.
New Delhi's Metro rail system, which serves about 1.8 million people a day, immediately shut down for the second day in a row. Police said they managed to evacuate Delhi's busy Rajiv Chowk station in under half an hour before closing the shutters.
S.K. Jain, 54, said he was on his way to file his income tax return when the Metro closed and now would almost certainly miss the deadline. Hours later, the government announced it was giving taxpayers an extra month to file because of the chaos.
Tuesday's blackout eclipsed Monday's in India, which covered territory including 370 million people. The third largest blackout affected 100 million people in Indonesia in 2005, according to reports by The Associated Press.
India's demand for electricity has soared along with its economy in recent years, but utilities have been unable to meet the growing needs. India's Central Electricity Authority reported power deficits of more than 8 percent in recent months.
In addition, vast amounts of power are pirated through unauthorized wiring that taps into the electrical system.
The power deficit was worsened by a weak monsoon that lowered hydroelectric generation and kept temperatures higher, further increasing electricity usage as people seek to cool off.
But any connection to the grid remains a luxury for many. One-third of India's households do not even have electricity to power a light bulb, according to last year's census.

Just buy it
Apple has been phenomenally successful in designing and selling devices but it has? stumbled badly in developing its own social media. Apple is in great need to rectify its social deficiency.? One good way to remedy the situation is for Apple to buy Twitter.
Rumors have been rife over the last year that Apple will buy or take a major stake in Twitter.? The New York Times fanned the flames when it reported on Friday, July 27, that Apple had talked with Twitter in recent months about taking a stake in the micro blogging company. Worth noting is that the Wall Street Journal also reported last week of negotiations between Twitter and Apple but contrary to the Times, the?Journal reported that talks occurred more than a year ago.
Apple Deficiency
About 20% of the world?s population now uses social media.? By 2015 about 50% of the people are projected to use social media.? Social media has become a big influencer in the purchase of electronics.? This influence is likely to increase.
Apple stands alone among its competitors in that it does not have a major social media initiative.
Google has been working hard on Google+, which just crossed above the 250-million user mark.
On the Facebook earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg highlighted the importance of mobile efforts.? There have been plenty of rumors that Facebook will introduce its own mobile phone.? Facebook is also in bed with Microsoft.? The point is that Facebook will sooner or later bump up against Apple.
In addition to its relationship with Facebook, Microsoft has a social media component in its Xbox gaming network.
Amazon (AMZN) is rumored to be working on its own smart phone,? already very successful with its Kindle tablet.? Moreover, Amazon through its consumer reviews is already a stealth player in social media.
It is not that Apple has ignored social media.? Apple started its social network for music called Ping in 2010.? Apple tried to work with Facebook on Ping but the relationship did not work.? Now Apple has acknowledged that Ping is a failure and Apple is abandoning the effort.
Why Buy Twitter?
Buying Twitter will instantaneously give Apple a major presence in social media.? Twitter is reportedly worth about $10 billion.? A purchase of Twitter would hardly dent over $100 billion cash hoard of Apple.
Apple stock gets a low multiple because the company depends on producing hit after hit.? A purchase of Twitter will be an important new strategic initiative to produce stable earnings that are not dependent on hit after hit.? As a result, P/E of Apple may go up.

BAGHDAD (AP) ? The British Embassy in Baghdad says it will help the Iraqi government dispose of what's left of deposed dictator Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons.
The remaining munitions are stored in two bunkers in southern Baghdad.
A statement issued Monday said the British Defense Ministry will start training Iraqi technical and medical workers this year. The teams will work to safely destroy remnants of munitions and chemical warfare agents left over from Saddam's regime. He was overthrown in 2003 following an American-led invasion.
Most of the chemical weapons were destroyed by military forces in 1991 during the first Gulf War or by U.N. inspectors after the fighting. The inspections halted just before the invasion.
Iraq is a party to the U.N. Chemical Weapons Convention and must get rid of the remaining material.

PHOENIX (Reuters) - A federal judge refused on Monday to block an Arizona law banning most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, clearing the way for the statute to take effect this week.
District Judge James Teilborg ruled that the measure, passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature and signed into law in April by Republican Governor Jan Brewer, is in keeping with standards that federal courts have set on limits to late-term abortions.
The new statute, due to take effect on Thursday, bars healthcare professionals from performing abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, except in the case of a medical emergency. Only a small number of such abortions are performed in the state each year.
Siding against abortion-rights advocates who had challenged the law, Teilborg said Arizona's ban "does not impose a substantial obstacle" to abortions generally and that Arizona has the right to pass such legislation.
Two groups, the Center for Reproductive Rights and the American Civil Liberties Union, filed suit earlier this month on behalf of three Arizona abortion providers seeking to prevent the ban from being implemented.
The suit was believed to mark the first court test brought by physicians against similar abortion restrictions that have surfaced in a growing number of states since Republicans gained greater statehouse clout in the November 2010 elections, Center for Reproductive Rights officials said.
Six states have put laws into effect in the past two years banning most or all late-term abortions, based on hotly debated medical research suggesting that a fetus feels pain starting at 20 weeks of gestation. North Carolina enacted its own such ban decades ago.
Arizona and two other states - Georgia and Louisiana - have enacted similar bans that have not yet taken effect, center officials said.
The Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973 but allowed states to place restrictions on the procedure from the time when a fetus could potentially survive outside the womb, except when a woman's health was at risk.

LONDON (AP) ? Spain faces FIFA disciplinary action after its bad-tempered elimination from the Olympic soccer tournament.
Seven Spain players, including star forward Juan Mata, received yellow cards in a 1-0 loss against Honduras in Newcastle. The tournament favorite now cannot advance from its group.
Some Spain players clashed with opponents in the tunnel at halftime and confronted Venezuelan referee Juan Soto when he rejected appeals for a penalty kick late in the game.
FIFA rules require team fines if at least five players are booked. Further sanctions can be added if players "threaten or harass match officials" or for serious offenses.
Honduras also faces action by soccer's governing body after having six players booked.
Watch highlights of the game below, including Spain's antics at the end of the match:

Q: Investing in gold and silver?
I?m becoming more wary about the dollar value and it?s declining pattern and want to invest in either gold or silver. Which one is more safe and how would I go about this correctly?
goldsenze.com Answer:
Silver prices are poised to shoot up dramatically for a number of reasons.
For one, supply of silver has dramatically gone down and demand has gone up. This is because silver consumed more than ever.
It is used in such things as cell phones, computers, band-aids, light switches, and reflectors in mirrors.
And secondly, the above ground silver supply has gone down dramatically.
In 1950 there was 10 Billion ounces. In 2011 there is only an estimated supply of between 500 and 700 million ounces.
Third, money is flowing to gold and silver, both as an investment and as an insurance policy against a weakened dollar.
In my opinion, Silver will have the most dramatic gains.

In today?s world, one of the most common disorders that occur more often to males during lovemaking is premature ejaculation. Moreover, it is a men disorder in which, suffering male ejaculates with minimum stimulation, before the person wishes it, and earlier then he expects it. Furthermore, it is an embarrassing disorder for men that threaten or even ruin a marriage by spoiling the intimate life of both the partners.

Moreover, usually female partner is unable to enjoy the peak pleasure of lovemaking, because of PE. However, preventing anxiety at the time of lovemaking can prevent untimely ejaculation of seminal fluid by lessening inappropriate urge for intimacy. Also, proper control of pelvic muscles can help to increase ejaculation time and, to last longer in bed. In addition, prolonging foreplay also plays a major role in ending this frustrating problem.

It is very easy for a business office staff to become satisfied. They can fall into the routine where these people become very self-sufficient and rely on their particular fellow workers less and less. While this may seem like the best thing, many office responsibilities can be accomplished quicker and better when the team really does them as a whole instead of relying on the input of only one person. In case a business is in Toronto, team building events activities from a firm like XPEERience Group can help create that ?we? mindset again.
This company specializes in Keynote Speaker Canada activities in a number of settings. Choosing the proper team building events activities is important when setting up an event such as this as it is important to be sure all staff members are happy with the events. All things considered, it would not serve a reason to alienate staff during a team building pursuits as you want everyone to sign up in the events.
One of the most popular packages with regard to Toronto team building activities is the Ultimate Xpeerience. This bundle encompasses low bodily impact activities including dodgeball, water balloon chuck, and volleyball along with more demanding team development activities like the inflatable obstacle course and also the outdoor rockwall. Most employers will have a pretty good thought of what their employees are capable of and can choose the team building activities that may work best for their staff.
The beauty of an outing such as this is that the majority of employees forget exactly why they are actually there in the first place. They are getting so much fun, they naturally form a greater bond with their other workers and improve the teamwork frame of mind that has been missing from the office. So how really does all of this actually incorporate itself back into the business office?
Something that a lot of companies will do is have a personnel meeting to discuss the outing the next time the whole staff is together in the office. Keep it very informal and talk about the various events and how your winning teams were able to perform so well. Preserve stressing how they employed each person?s strengths to aid the team perform greater.
Once this topic gets rolling, begin to bring up examples of assignments around the office that have been delayed because the ?team? had not been working together. Keep in mind this is not a disciplinary meeting, just a reinforcement of how successful it is to work together. From that point, hand out exactly the same assignment to both of these people and teams. Allow them to have a limited time to develop them and then carry a meeting later within the day to monitor development.
While there may be many people capable of pulling off of the upset victory, most of the time, the teams will be able to present a better and more complete project. This is when management can bolster the idea of how important it is to work as a team whenever possible instead of operating alone all the time. It certainly won?t be long before the entire business office benefits from the Toronto team development activities they liked during the outing.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? The stars of "Modern Family" have reached new contracts to keep working on the Emmy-winning comedy, ending a dispute that had threatened to spill over into a courtroom.
A 20th Century Fox spokesman confirmed Friday evening that the deals had been reached and that shooting on the ABC series' fourth season will begin Monday.
The deals cover stars Sofia Vergara, Ed O'Neill, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
Five of the actors sued Fox on Tuesday, asking a judge to rule their contracts on the Emmy-winning show are illegal and should be invalidated. O'Neill joined the case later in the week.
The lawsuit, which claimed the actors' contracts were illegal because they bound them to the show for more than seven years, will be dropped. Exact terms of the deal were not released.
"Modern Family," a popular comedy that airs on ABC, has won Emmy Awards for outstanding Comedy Series the past two years. Several of the stars, including Burrell, Bowen and Stonestreet have won individual Emmys for their work on the show.
The show was recently nominated for 14 Emmy Awards, the most of any sitcom.

I am usually asked about the stock market vs. real estate buying terms that could be the better investment. Both provide development and income. Real-estate investing has its strengths and so does the stock market. Think about the very best of both worlds?Other compared to the often touted undeniable fact that real estate investing posseses an advantage because ?they?re not making any more of it?, lots of people have felt more relaxed previously possessing real property because it?s real. The stock market isn?t. Real estate investing typically takes the shape of shopping for home, letting it out, and coping with preservation and tenants. The requirement for effective management and the truth that real property is not liquid (easy to sell quickly without significant expense) are its disadvantages.On the other hand real estate investing has traditionally had one massive advantage named FINANCIAL LEVERAGE. Building a little out-of-pocket investment and borrowing lots of money to buy a property is just how many people got abundant with the past. All things considered, if your investment goes up in price by $50,000 or $100,000 your rate of return depends on how much YOU really had spent. The average person has not been permitted to use heavy financial leverage in the stock market since the early 1930?s.Financial leverage is currently a dirty word in money since the recent financial crisis threatened the world economy. The principles have changed, but there are still possibilities for the average buyer. Forget the past and forget comparing the stock market vs. real estate investing in mainstream terms. There is really no sense in comparing the 2 as they have historically existed, since acquiring property is similar to actively running a business. Normal employees usually do not go there since they have other responsibilities and obligations to wait to.In the stock market you only buy and sell. That?s the advantage: liquidity, without active management. Today you may make a purchase for $10. You may purchase any stock you like and buy or sell in your brokerage account on the internet. If you need to get into real estate investing the easy way, even on a budget, you can perform it IN THE STOCK MARKET. You can now own an item of the action in commercial properties for an admission cost of $10, and sell in a matter of moments if things do not get your way.Equity real-estate investment trusts (REITS) purchase apartment buildings, shopping malls, office buildings and so on? diversified across the country. They?ve been with us a long time and for years were regular artists that provided investors both development and more than average dividend income. Their shares are traded in the stock market. When property got inexpensive so did these stocks. Two major titles here: Simon Residence Group and Vornado Realty Trust. And then there?s something rather new.To get the best of both worlds? Real-estate investing and the stock market? And never having to select which stock( s) to go with contemplate an that invests in numerous shares like the two mentioned previously. Stock representations IYR and VNQ are two such ETFs.You can invest anywhere from a few hundred dollars to millions, be in or out in a matter of moments and be considered a property entrepreneur simply by purchasing the right shares. With today?s volatile economic environment and markets a fundamental reality is now clear to even probably the most casual observer. All markets, perhaps the market for real homes, are dynamic and subject to change. Why not set liquidity in your corner?

WASHINGTON (AP) ? New figures released Friday by the White House predict this year's federal budget deficit will end up at $1.2 trillion.
That would make the fourth consecutive year of trillion dollar-plus deficits during President Barack Obama's administration.
The bleak figures, while expected, are sure to add fuel to the already heated presidential campaign, in which Obama's handling of the economy and the budget are a main topic. Friday's release came as the government announced that U.S. economic growth slowed to an annual rate of just 1.5 percent in the second quarter of this year, as consumers cut back sharply on spending.
The White House budget office also predicts for this year that the economy will grow at a modest 2.6 percent annual rate and that the jobless rate will average 8 percent.
"The economic recovery that began in 2009 will continue at a moderate rate and unemployment will gradually decline," Jeffrey Zients, the acting White House budget director said in a blog post. "The economy still faces significant headwinds," he added.
The 2012 budget year ends on Sept. 30. The White House also predicted that next year's deficit will fall just short of $1 trillion, higher than it predicted in its February budget release. The predicted deficit for 2012 actually improved by $116 billion, but much of that was because Congress didn't enact much of Obama's jobs plan.
But the White House promises deficits will drop to about 3 percent of the size of the economy by 2017, in part through $1.5 trillion in tax increases over the coming decade.
The White House report ? released Friday afternoon with the Olympics poised to distract voters for two weeks ? again trumpets Obama's longstanding approach to tackling the deficit. It includes tax increases on families earning above $250,000, already-enacted "caps" on agency operating budgets and modest savings from federal benefit programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
"Since taking office, the president has worked to restore fiscal responsibility," says the OMB report.
Under Obama's budget plan, the total U.S. debt would reach $16.2 trillion by the end of the year and soar to $25.4 trillion at the end of a decade's time.
The government is likely to reach its borrowing cap ? the subject of a fierce fight last summer between Obama and Republicans ? late this year or early next year, which is going to require the next Congress and either Romney or Obama to act together to increase the borrowing cap. That is seen by many as an opportunity to force lawmakers to finally tackle the country's major budget problems.
Romney, for his part, offers relatively few specifics on the budget but promises to bring total government spending down to 20 percent of the U.S. economy by the end of a first term in 2016. That is roughly in line with where it was during Republican George W. Bush's presidency. Government spending now equals 24 percent of gross domestic product.

When I was in college, I worked part time to afford an apartment because the on-campus dorms were expensive and generally terrible. Still, I regret missing out on that experience. Maybe it would be different if I could have decked out my dorm room the following awesome gadgets.
Bacon alarm clock
Have to be up early at 1 p.m. for an exam? You can rely on the BAKON Alarm Clock. This DIY project requires an old baking oven, a timer, high-temp car paint, a pig keychain from Party City, spare bottle caps, 10-gauge solid wire, some googly eyes, a screwdriver and a Dremel tool. Once built, it will wake you up with the sizzling sound, delightful smell and delicious taste of bacon. Instructables via That's Nerdalicious
Marshall guitar amp fridge
It may look like a Marshall guitar amp, but this is actually a 4.4-cubic-foot refrigerator/freezer that you can fill with beer and pizza rolls. It even features an homage to Spinal Tap, in the form of knobs that actually go to 11. Most dorm parties only?go to 10, so that means you'll be partying one harder. $300 ??Marshall Fridge via That's Nerdalicious
Brew Cave walk-in beer cooler
So the guitar amp fridge was cool and all, but the dorm fridge of your dreams would undoubtedly be the Brew Cave walk-in beer cooler. In addition to offering four inches of insulation, the cooler also boasts shelf space for up to 30 cases of beer, room for four kegs, and a built-in tap. Of course, I think this cooler has more square footage inside then the dorm rooms at my old college. $6,349 ??Kegworks via That's Nerdalicious
Smart trash?can
While I doubt that many students these days will be using a typewriter in their quest to stretch two pages of text into the required five, this smart trash?can will still do a great job of catching your garbage on the fly. It uses Microsoft Kinect, a motorized wheelbase and a heck of a lot of coding to track your flying wads of paper and ensure you hit that three-pointer every time.
BRAD automated dorm
University of California at Berkeley freshman Derek Low spent three months creating what he calls ?the most ridiculously automated dorm room in the school ever.? Dubbed ?BRAD? (Berkeley Ridiculously Automated Dorm), the system employs motion sensors to detect when someone enters or exits the room, and it has the ability to control the lights, window shades, and music via voice controls and mobile apps. An emergency red ?party mode? button was also provided, which closes the shades, turns on dance music and replaces the overhead lights with flashing neon lighting and strobes. CubicleBot

Giant Legend of Zelda wall mural
The giant Legend of Zelda wall mural is an opportunity to decorate your dorm room with something nerdy and elaborate but surprisingly inexpensive. It's an 8-foot-by-3-foot fabric map of the entire Zelda overworld that will only set you back around $40. Plus, when it's laundry day, you can take it off the wall and?wear it like a toga. That's what I call versatility. Etsy via Nerd Approved
Lightsaber chopsticks
You may be a freshman eating Ramen, but at least you're doing it like a Padawan with these fancy light-up lightsaber chopsticks. Indeed, the blades actually glow thanks to LEDs that can be activated with the push of a button. $17.99 ??BigBadToyStore via That's Nerdalicious
Podtime tubes
Privacy and sleep are two things that are hard to come by while living in a dorm. These Podtime beds could provide a solution to both of those problems. With a shell made of "practically indestructible" polycarbonate, Podtime tubes can be stacked on top of one another like bunk beds so they won't take up much space. They can also be customized with entertainment systems, LED lighting, storage and an alarm. $2,158 and up ??Firebox and Podtime
An electronic beer pong table
For many college students, a good beer pong table is a crucial piece of furniture. If you have the resources and the ambition, you could make something similar to the version featured in this video from Auburn University. While there doesn't appear to be any details on the building of it, some engineering student has clearly put his new found skills to their ultimate use. Break?(video)
Iron Throne
Every dorm room needs a good chair, but if I had all the money in the world (as opposed to wondering how I would afford breakfast from the Dollar Menu), I would eschew comfort in favor of this "Game of Thrones" Iron Throne replica. This official life-size?seat is no joke either. It stands at 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide and weighs 350 pounds. It also costs a whopping $30,000???HBO via Nerd Approved

ATLANTA (AP) ? For decades, Atlanta has been the economic engine of the South, a dynamic city on the move. But if you've ever gotten behind the wheel here, it doesn't feel that way.
The Atlanta metropolitan area has some of the worst traffic in America, with drivers routinely stuck in monumental, bumper-to-bumper jams that can turn a 10-minute trip into a miserable, one-hour slog.
Hoping to ease the gridlock, the region's political and business leaders are pushing for a 1-cent increase in the sales tax to pay for billions of dollars in highway improvements and other transportation projects. The proposed tax is on Tuesday's ballot.
Civic leaders say that Atlanta's economic future hangs in the balance, with the metropolitan area in danger of losing business to more-livable cities unless it acts now to reduce congestion.
"Tampa, Charlotte, Denver, Dallas ... they all hope we lose," said Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce President Sam Williams. "The competition has been taking advantage of this."
Atlanta's traffic problems have been 50 years in the making, a consequence of runaway growth. The metropolitan area's population swelled from nearly 1.6 million in 1960 to more than 5.2 million in 2010, and many of the newcomers settled in suburbs radiating farther and farther from Atlanta's core.
Now those commuters are clogging the highways that run straight through the middle of the city or form a big ring around it.
Atlanta has a commuter rail system, but it is laid out basically like a big plus sign and doesn't reach many parts of the city. And there has long been opposition to its expansion.
The TomTom Congestion Index, compiled by the maker of automobile GPS devices, has ranked Atlanta the nation's eighth-most clogged city. According to the 2010 Census, Atlanta had the fourth-worst commute in America, with drivers taking an average of 30 minutes to get to or from work.
From billboards to beauty shops, the campaign for the tax has been hard-fought in recent weeks, and polls suggest the vote could be close.
Metro Atlanta is one of a dozen regions across Georgia that will vote independently on the tax increase, which could generate a total of more than $18 billion statewide for transportation projects over the next decade.
Atlanta stands to gain the biggest share. Supporters estimate the 1-cent increase would generate more than $8.4 billion between 2013 and 2022. The sales tax in the region is now around 5 or 6 cents on the dollar in most cases.
Each region developed a list of projects involving such things as roads, bridges, mass transit, ports, airports and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Metro Atlanta's list is heavy on road projects ? including the widening or resurfacing of highways, the building of new ramps and reconstruction of a busy interchange ? and light on mass transit.
Opposition in metro Atlanta has crossed political and racial lines, creating unlikely allies and adversaries.
Pro-business Republicans, including Gov. Nathan Deal, are finding themselves at odds with tea-party leaders in the GOP, who argue government can't be trusted to manage the tax revenue responsibly.
The fiscal conservatives have made common cause with black Democrats, who say the plan doesn't do enough to help poor people and minorities because it devotes little to mass transit and overlooks some sections of the city, and with environmental groups, which fear more pollution and development.
"We're just united against a bad idea," said Neill Herring of the Sierra Club. "We've got to break this sprawl habit."
Supporters have bankrolled an $8 million campaign under the banner Untie Atlanta and say the transportation projects will create jobs via the construction work itself and the improvements that will ease congestion and make the city more attractive to companies looking to relocate.
"As a result of our failure to deal with our traffic issues as other leading cities in the world are doing far more rapidly, we risk entering a period of decline," Mayor Kasim Reed said. "This is our region's leadership moment."
Nikki Strickland's commute to work in Atlanta is 30 minutes each way on a great day. But if she leaves the house in suburban Alpharetta after 7:30 a.m., it's too late. Then the drive takes an hour or more.
Her husband's trek into midtown isn't much better. "He can get completely stuck for hours if the wrong thing happens," Strickland said.
She said she is considering voting for the tax but is conflicted. Taxing groceries ? something everyone has to have, unlike a new car ? isn't fair, Strickland said. Moreover, she said, "I just don't feel like Atlanta is serious about transit. And I don't trust our institutions to do this. State government is so dysfunctional."
