CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) ? Alisha Carter-Camp had a new job, a wedding to plan and a 26th birthday to celebrate with a family cookout and toasts to the birthday girl in a yard full of children. By the end of the night, she was among eight dead, including six children, in one of this West Virginia city's deadliest house fires in decades.

The blaze tore through the two-story home while the family slept early Saturday, hours after the last guest had left Carter-Camp's party, authorities said. The dead children ranged from 18 months to 8. A seventh child, a 7-year-old boy, was hospitalized on life support.

The cause was under investigation, although arson wasn't suspected, Charleston Mayor Danny Jones said. The fire started about 3:30 a.m. on the first floor. Jones said the home had just one working smoke detector; the city requires several. A building inspection that had been scheduled for last month didn't happen because only children were home at the time.

A children's picnic table, chairs and an umbrella were overturned in the yard of the home, roped off by police tape on a corner in a neighborhood tightly packed with small houses in north Charleston. Flames and smoke blackened the front of the house Two huge front windows were shattered, and what appeared to be an opening for an upstairs air conditioner was stuffed shut with clothes.

Alisha Carter-Camp, who would have been 26 Saturday, was among those killed, Jones said. She had been working as a hotel clerk for six months and told neighbors she planned to get married in June and move to Pittsburgh.

Four of the victims were 3 years old: Jeremiah Camp, Elijah Scott and two children who were only identified by their first names. Also killed were Keahna Camp, 8, Emanuel Jones, 18 months, and an adult, Alex Seal.

Bryan Timothy Camp, 7, was hospitalized in critical condition. One adult survivor, Latasha Jones Isabell, went to the hospital but it wasn't clear if she was treated. Authorities said all the victims were related, but they weren't sure how and didn't know how many lived full-time in the home.

"We have reason to believe that a lot of the people stayed in the house more than one night and maybe on a weekly basis," Jones said. "These people may have had residences in other places, but a lot of people lived in this house."

Carter-Camp and her two children were staying with her sister at the home, said Roxie Means, who lives down the street.

The party started Friday afternoon with a cookout and toasts of wine.

"They were nice people drinking a glass of wine," Roxie Means said. "They weren't drunk. They weren't overdoing anything."

Roxie's daughter, 14-year-old Cassie Means, said she noticed lit candles inside the home when she attended the party Friday night.

Roxie Means said Isabell, 24, was smoking a cigarette outside, noticed the fire and came running to Means' home in the middle of the night and started "beating down the door."

The home was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived. When they went inside, they immediately came across five victims and "started realizing there were a lot of people in this house, a lot of children."

Jones said he was devastated by the news of the fire ? the deadliest in the state capital since seven firefighters perished while battling a fire at a Woolworth department store in 1949.

"I was with my children and I just grabbed them and hugged them, because I have a 5-year-old and a 4-year-old," he said. "I walked up there and caught a glimpse of some fatalities and it's something that's hard to grasp. The fact that there are (six) dead children, it's unimaginable."

Rusty Eaton, general manager at the Holiday Inn Express Charleston Civic Center, said Carter-Camp was one of his employees. Eaton said he was notified of her death by her mother Saturday morning.

"Everybody's taking it pretty tough, including myself," Eaton said. "It's a tough thing. It's something you hope you never have to deal with."

He said Carter-Camp had worked at the hotel's front desk for about six months and also helped audit financial paperwork at night. He said that she felt at ease speaking with anyone and that "you didn't have to teach (her) personality."

"She had one of those infectious smiles, never met a stranger. She had personality to spare," Eaton said. "She was great with our customers, great with her co-workers. Certainly, she'll be sorely missed by us."

By midmorning, police had pulled the bodies out. On Saturday afternoon, police searched Carter-Camp's vehicle still parked outside.

"She worked seven days a week, had her kids here," Roxie Means said. "I love the kids. That's really what hurts us."

Jones said the home had one working smoke detector on the bottom floor, but it was on a counter and wasn't properly mounted to a ceiling. Another was found in a basement area but didn't work. The city requires smoke detectors in basements, one in every bedroom and in hallways.

A city building inspector had made arrangements with the owner, Deloris Shamblen, to inspect the home on Feb. 28. Carter-Camp had signed a permission slip for an inspection of the property, but when the inspector arrived, a child answered the door and asked the inspector to come back when an adult was there, Jones said.

"Had we seen the fact that they did not have the proper number of smoke detectors, we might have saved a lot of lives," Jones said.

A telephone message left with Shamblen wasn't immediately returned Saturday.

Roxie and Cassie Means stood outside the burnt-out house and remembered the kids playing in front of it just hours earlier. Cassie Means said she had made the kids a promise; they wanted to know if she would be back on Saturday.

"'Cassie, are you coming over to play with us tomorrow?' I said, 'yeah.'" she recalled.

The child continued, "'You promise me you'll be here tomorrow?'" Cassie Means recalled. "I said, 'I promise you I'll be here when you wake up to play with you. I'll be here right when you wake up."

Special Report: Intel shows Iran nuclear threat not imminent

(Reuters) - The United States, European allies and even Israel generally agree on three things about Iran's nuclear program: Tehran does not have a bomb, has not decided to build one, and is probably years away from having a deliverable nuclear warhead.

Those conclusions, drawn from extensive interviews with current and former U.S. and European officials with access to intelligence on Iran, contrast starkly with the heated debate surrounding a possible Israeli strike on Tehran's nuclear facilities.

"They're keeping the soup warm but they are not cooking it," a U.S. administration official said.

Reuters has learned that in late 2006 or early 2007, U.S. intelligence intercepted telephone and email communications in which Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a leading figure in Iran's nuclear program, and other scientists complained that the weaponization program had been stopped.

That led to a bombshell conclusion in a controversial 2007 National Intelligence Estimate: American spy agencies had "high confidence" that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in the fall of 2003.

Current and former U.S. officials say they are confident that Iran has no secret uranium-enrichment site outside the purview of U.N. nuclear inspections.

They also have confidence that any Iranian move toward building a functional nuclear weapon would be detected long before a bomb was made.

These intelligence findings are what underpin President Barack Obama's argument that there is still time to see whether economic sanctions will compel Iran's leaders to halt any program.

The Obama administration, relying on a top-priority intelligence collection program and after countless hours of debate, has concluded that Iranian leaders have not decided whether to actively construct a nuclear weapon, current and former officials said.

There is little argument, however, that Iran's leaders have taken steps that would give them the option of becoming a nuclear-armed power.

Iran has enriched uranium, although not yet of sufficient quantity or purity to fuel a bomb, and has built secret enrichment sites, which were acknowledged only when unmasked.

Iran has, in years past, worked on designing a nuclear warhead, the complicated package of electronics and explosives that would transform highly enriched uranium into a fission bomb.

And it is developing missiles that could in theory launch such a weapon at a target in enemy territory.

There are also blind spots in U.S. and allied agencies' knowledge. A crucial unknown is the intentions of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Another question is exactly how much progress Iran made in designing a warhead before mothballing its program. The allies disagree on how fast Iran is progressing toward bomb-building ability: the U.S. thinks progress is relatively slow; the Europeans and Israelis believe it's faster.

U.S. officials assert that intelligence reporting on Iran's nuclear program is better than it was on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, which proved to be non-existent but which President George W. Bush and his aides used to make the case for the 2003 invasion.

That case and others, such as the U.S. failure to predict India's 1998 underground nuclear test, illustrate the perils of divining secrets about others' weapons programs.

"The quality of intelligence varies from case to case," a U.S. administration official said. Intelligence on North Korea and Iraq was more limited, but there was "extraordinarily good intelligence" on Iran, the official said.

Israel, which regards a nuclear Iran as an existential threat, has a different calculation. It studies the same intelligence and timetable, but sees a closing window of opportunity to take unilateral military action and set back Iran's ambitions. Israel worries that Iran will soon have moved enough of its nuclear program underground -- or spread it far enough around the country -- as to make it virtually impervious to a unilateral Israeli attack, creating what Defense Minister Ehud Barak recently referred to as a "zone of immunity."

While Israel would not be able to launch an effective offensive in this analysis, the U.S., with its deeper-penetrating bombs and in-air refueling capability, believes it could still get results from a military strike.

Israel has not publicly defined how or when Iran would enter this phase of a nuclear weapons program. Barak said last month that relying on an ability to detect an order by Khamenei to build a bomb "oversimplifies the issue dramatically."

CONFIDENCE IN INTELLIGENCE

U.S. confidence that Iran stopped its nuclear weaponization program in 2003 traces back to a stream of intelligence obtained in 2006 or early 2007, which dramatically shifted the view of spy agencies.

Sources familiar with the intelligence confirmed the intercept of Fakhrizadeh's communications. The United States had both telephone and email intercepts in which Iranian scientists complained about how the leadership ordered them to shut down the program in 2003, a senior European official said.

U.S. officials said they are very confident that the intercepts were authentic - and not disinformation planted by Iran.

"Iran has been a high-priority intelligence target for years. Sometimes you get lucky, and sometimes we really are good," said Thomas Fingar, who was chairman of the National Intelligence Council when it compiled the 2007 intelligence estimate.

While declining to provide specific details, Fingar, now at Stanford University, said: "We got information that we had never been able to obtain before. We knew the provenance of the information, and we knew that we had been able to obtain it from multiple sources. Years of hard work had finally paid off."

The judgment that Iran had stopped work on the weapons program stunned the Bush White House and U.S. allies. Critics accused U.S. spy agencies of over-compensating for their flawed 2002 analysis that Iraq's Saddam Hussein had active nuclear, biological and chemical weapons programs.

The 2007 report gummed up efforts by the Bush administration to persuade the U.N. Security Council and others to add pressure on Iran with more sanctions. It was greeted with disbelief by Israel and some European allies.

"It really pulled the rug out of our sanctions effort until we got it back on track in 2008," recalled Stephen Hadley, former national security adviser to Bush.

Overlooked by many was that the report said Iran had been pursuing a nuclear weapon and was keeping its options open for developing one, he said. "The problem was that it was misinterpreted as an all-clear when it wasn't that at all," Hadley said.

A November 2011 report by the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency said suspected nuclear weaponization efforts led by Fakhrizadeh were "stopped rather abruptly pursuant to a 'halt order' instruction issued in late 2003 by senior Iranian officials."

The reasons for this are not clear. Western experts say it was probably related to a fear of being next on the hit list after the United States toppled Saddam next door.

Iran emphasizes its nuclear program is for civilian purposes. Ayatollah Khamenei this week said Iran does not have nuclear weapons and will not build them.

DISMEMBERED AND BURIED

Some key U.S. allies were never entirely comfortable with the 2007 U.S. intelligence estimate. The Europeans conceded that a centrally directed weaponization program probably stopped, but believed pieces of the program were being pursued separately.

Many European experts believed the Iranians had dismembered their bomb program and scattered and buried its parts, some of them in military or scientific installations, some in obscure academic institutions.

Under pressure from both European allies and Israel's supporters, U.S. intelligence agencies late in the Bush administration and early in Obama's tenure began to take a second look at the 2007 estimate. Some consideration was given to bringing it more into line with European views. Intelligence received after publication of the 2007 estimate suggested that in 2006, Iran believed the United States was going to have to abandon its troubled venture in Iraq. Wisps of information were gathered that Iranian officials were talking about restarting elements of the bomb program, a U.S. intelligence official said on condition of anonymity. But analysts were divided about the significance of the new information. The revised estimate was delayed for months. Eventually, at the very end of 2010, an updated version was circulated within the government. Unlike the 2007 estimate, the White House made public no extracts of this document. A consensus emerged among U.S. experts that the new intelligence information wasn't as alarming as originally thought, according to officials familiar with the result. The 2010 update largely stuck to the same assessments as the 2007 report, these officials said. U.S. intelligence chiefs issued a vague public acknowledgement of the ambiguities of their latest assessment.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Congress in February 2011 that "Iran is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons in part by developing various nuclear capabilities that better position it to produce such weapons, should it choose to do so."

TIME FRAME

The United States and Israel are on the same page in judging how long it would take Iran to have a nuclear weapon that could strike a target: about a year to produce a bomb and then another one to two years to put it on a missile.

Both countries believe Iran has not made a decision to build a bomb, so even if Tehran decided to move forward, it would be unlikely to have a working nuclear device this year, let alone a missile to deliver it.

"I think they are years away from having a nuclear weapon," a U.S. administration official said.

Three main pieces are needed for a nuclear arsenal: highly enriched uranium to fuel a bomb, a nuclear warhead to detonate it, and a missile or other platform to deliver it. For Iran's program, the West has the most information about the first.

Iran has a declared nuclear program for medical research and producing energy, is a member of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and allows U.N. nuclear inspectors into its facilities.

The inspections are conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency, and its reports provide some of the best snapshots of where Iran's program stands.

Iran conducts uranium enrichment at the Natanz plant in central Iran and at a site at Fordow buried deep in a mountainous region near the holy city of Qom. Both sites were built secretly and made public by others.

Natanz was unveiled in 2002 by an Iranian opposition group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq. Obama and other world leaders announced the existence of the Fordow site in 2009.

Natanz houses about 8,800 centrifuge machines spinning to increase the concentration of U-235, the type of uranium that yields fissile material. Fordow is built to contain about 3,000 centrifuge machines, but the most recent IAEA report says about 700 are operational.

Most of Iran's stockpile is 3.5 percent low enriched uranium. When Tehran declared in February 2010 that it would begin enriching uranium up to 20 percent purity, that sharply increased the anxiety of Israel and others.

Nuclear experts say that enriching uranium from the naturally occurring 0.7 percent concentration of U-235 to the low-level 3.5 percent accomplishes about 70 percent of the enrichment work toward weapons-grade uranium. At 20 percent concentration, about nine-tenths of the work has been completed. For Iran, getting to 90 percent would require changing some of the plumbing in the centrifuges, experts said.

"From 20 to 90 is exponentially easier," a U.S. intelligence official said.

An IAEA report last month said that Iran has produced nearly 110 kilograms (240 pounds) of uranium enriched to 20 percent. That is less than the roughly 250 kilograms (550 pounds) that nuclear experts say would be required, when purified further, for one nuclear weapon.

Iran's enrichment program was set back by the Stuxnet computer virus, which many security experts suspect was created by Israeli intelligence, possibly with U.S. assistance. It wormed its way into Iranian centrifuge machinery as early as 2009. The Institute for Science and International Security estimated that Stuxnet damaged about 1,000 centrifuges at Natanz and stalled its enrichment capability from growing for about a year.

But it isn't clear how lasting an impact Stuxnet has had. Reuters reported last month that U.S. and European officials and private experts believe Iranian engineers have neutralized and purged the virus.

EYES IN THE SKY

U.S. officials and experts are confident that Iran would be detected if it jumped to a higher level of enrichment.

The IAEA monitors Iran's enrichment facilities closely, watching with cameras and taking measurements during inspections. Seals would have to be broken if containers that collect the enriched material were moved or tampered with.

U.S. and European intelligence agencies are also keeping tabs through satellites, sensors and other methods. They watched for years as a hole was dug into a mountainside near Qom and determined - it is unclear precisely how - late in the Bush administration that Fordow was likely a secret uranium enrichment site.

Obama was briefed on Qom when he was president-elect and was the one to publicly announce it to the world in September 2009.

"They had a deep understanding of the facility, which allowed them to blow the whistle on Tehran with confidence," a U.S. official said.

Rumors periodically pop up of other secret enrichment sites, but so far they have not been substantiated. "Most of the people who make the argument that they might have a covert facility or a series of covert facilities are doing that to justify bombing them sooner rather than later," said Colin Kahl, a former defense official focused on the Middle East.

"We are very confident that there is no secret site now," a U.S. administration official said. But given Iran's history of secretly building facilities, the official predicted Tehran would eventually construct another covert plant.

THE UNKNOWN

One of the biggest question marks is how far Iran advanced in designing a nuclear device - a task considered to be less complicated than producing highly enriched uranium.

The more primitive the device, the more enriched uranium is required. Making it small enough to fit on the tip of a missile would be another challenge.

The IAEA has information that Iran built a large containment chamber to conduct high-explosives tests at the Parchin military complex southeast of Tehran. Conventional weapons are tested at that base, and the U.S. government appears convinced that any nuclear-related tests occurred prior to the 2003 halt.

But Iran denied the IAEA access to the Parchin site in February, raising more suspicion, and the nuclear agency seems less confident that weapons work has halted altogether.

IAEA chief Yukiya Amano said recently, "We have information that some activity is ongoing there."

In its November 2011 report, the IAEA said it had "serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program."

It cited Iran's efforts to procure nuclear-related and dual-use equipment, acquisition of nuclear-weapons development information and work on developing a nuclear weapon design in the program that was stopped in late 2003.

"There are also indications that some activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device continued after 2003, and that some may still be ongoing," the IAEA said.

While Iran does not yet have a nuclear warhead that can fit on a missile, it does have the missiles.

Iran has the largest inventory of ballistic missiles in the Middle East, and many of those projectiles could be repurposed to deliver a nuclear device, intelligence director Clapper said in congressional testimony.

Western experts also point to Iran's test firing of a rocket that can launch satellites into space as an example of a growing capability that could potentially be used for nuclear weapons.

"The nuclear threat is growing. They are getting relatively close to the place where they can make the decision to assemble all three parts of their program -- enrichment, missile, weaponization," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said in an interview. Khamenei "hasn't said 'put it together' yet," said Rogers, a Republican. "Have they decided to sprint to making the device that blows up? Probably not. But are they walking to a device that blows up? Yes."

The debate over air strikes, supercharged by Israel's anxiety and U.S. election-year politics, has raised the specter of the Iraq war. The White House justified that conflict on the grounds of weapons of mass destruction, as well as significant ties between Iraq and al Qaeda. Both proved to be mirages.

"There are lots of disturbing similarities. One has to note the differences, too," said Paul Pillar, a former top CIA analyst.

"The huge difference being we don't have an administration in office that is the one hankering for the war. This administration is not hankering for a war," said Pillar.

Mesothelioma Is Actually A Type of Lung Cancer Normally Coupled ...

Mesothelioma is definitely a seldom occurring type of cancer which attacks the respiratory system or mid-section. The mesothelium would be the layer of cells which are affected.

Patients typically are afflicted with this disease after contact with asbestos at their work place. Furthermore there are products found in homes that can induce the sickness. Asbestos causes mesothelioma once the patient is in contact with it.. The material is usually inhaled with the air. Generally the disease appears long after the direct exposure. It can often be the 20 to Fifty years down the road. Anyone developing symptoms that has been around asbestos would want to seek medical attention. It is advisable to consult with a doctor who has cared for this disease often. The earlier mesothelioma could be diagnosed, the much more likely it is to be caught at an initial phase. In the beginning more types of treatments are generally possible. The general prognosis may well be better also.

The most efficient means of treatment will involve killing the harmful body cells while maintaining the good ones. There are several ways to make this happen. The care is well established. Presently, patients will commonly utilize three primary things for mesothelioma therapy.

Radiation, chemo , and surgery are the treatments of choice. Oftentimes one or more will be employed. Developing any type of treatment may involve visiting a variety of doctors, including an oncologist (malignancy specialist), pulmonologist (lung expert), or radiologist. Determining the actual type of mesothelioma and its particular location might take time. Once these have been determined a therapy regimen can be established.

The doctor may choose surgical treatment to try to cure the illness. If not it could be utilized to make the quality in the patients life better. Unfortunately this ailment is usually identified in its very late stages. Surgery won?t offer a cure at this point. It might be found that the patient is not sufficiently strong enough for chemo or surgery. In this case radiation is the foremost choice. The side effects are less with radiation. This causes it to be a better choice than chemotherapy for some patients. Sometimes it is used in addition to chemo. The patient must be stronger to allow both.

Just like radiation, chemo provides no remedy for mesothelioma but may be extremely successful in providing relief from the difficult indications of the disease. New forms of chemotherapy will likely be found. These may offer many new therapies. New drug research is bringing about additional treatment method choices all along. Quite possibly a number of these will bring us nearer to a cure.

Say thanks a ton for taking a few minutes to view this commentary today. We hope the details prepared can be of benefit to you. I am posting more details on mesothelioma lawyer missouri for your browsing enjoyment.

Could Hairdressers Be The Next Skin Cancer Detectors ...

Health experts in the UK believe that hairdressers should be trained in skin cancer detection, reports the BBC. In the UK there are around 100,000 new cases of the cancer every year. Many however go undetected, and your hairdresser could be one more advocate for your skin cancer prevention. The scalp is an area that is frequently overlooked for mole checks, and getting your hair cut could now be a way to prevent this. Being that up to a fifth of cases occur on the neck and head, this could be very helpful.

?US doctors say: ?We should not wait for our patients with skin cancer to come to us when it may be too late, but use research and outreach methods to improve early detection of head and neck melanomas by capitalising on the role of hairdressers and their unique relationship with our potential clients.?

Hairdressers would not be able to diagnose any of their customers, but they would be able to point out any irregularities, and then suggest that the customer see a doctor. A poll was done by Nottingham City Hospital NHS Trust, and it found that most hairdressers were more than willing to take on this extra task. In the 36,000 salons located in the UK, researchers are hoping that the skin checks might become a routine.

The Melanoma Taskforce produced a set of guidelines for this in 2010. The guidelines helped hairdressers identify basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. ??A spokeswoman for the British Association of Dermatologists, a charity that is part of the taskforce, said: ?It would be dangerous to suggest that such a small amount of ?training? qualifies health and beauty professionals to diagnose skin cancer.?However, they can help in spotting changes to the skin in places that their clients can?t usually see.??.

Spotting skin cancer early provides a better chance for treatment for patients, and we at MoleSafe think that this could only add to people being more aware of their skin. What do YOU think? Should this be happening in the U.S., as well?

Comment below, and let us know!

94% Undefeated

All Critics (67) | Top Critics (28) | Fresh (63) | Rotten (4)

[A] stirring, emotional portrait of a high school football team in the impoverished neighborhood of North Memphis, Tenn.

It's a bit too long and a bit too vague at times, but this is a film about dedication, progress and the bond of human effort. It just also happens to include football.

"Undefeated'' needs less of what we know we've seen (the football stuff) and more of the players' and coaches' lives, which even if we feel we've seen, we haven't.

What makes this a terrific film is how much we care about the players.

Courtney really does believe all that stuff about adversity and character, and the film is moving for its modest tale of boys learning to act like men.

A touching documentary that offers a field-level portrait of male mentorship, compassion and unvarnished hope - all without a Hollywood ending.

It is a powerful reminder of the difference one person can make -- and of the consequences when no one is willing to make that difference.

What lifts 'Undefeated' above other sports docs is the remarkable force of Bill Courtney's personality.

It may call to mind The Blind Side or Remember the Titans, but there's no Hollywood glitz in the blighted burg of Manassas.

I regret that we don't meet more of Courtney's players, but that might have required a miniseries rather than a movie. And "Undefeated" makes sure the coach who is its central figure is more complex and fascinating than most fictional movie characters.

...an inspirational and often touching film that lets us get to know a dedicated coach who has faith in his players and delivers what he promises (almost).

This is a film that doesn't cater only to the traditional football fan.

In introducing us to [Coach] Courtney...Undefeated finds its voice

Just like a well-fought playoff win, it'll leave you a little misty-eyed.

This is one of the best sports documentaries of the last few years and while I don't think it should have won in a VERY good year for non-fiction film, I'm really not upset at all that it did.

Finds the warmth and vulnerability that is sometimes hard for outsiders to see beneath the rough, damaged exterior of the impoverished Memphis neighborhood where much of the action takes place.

The hardened inner-city kids here are far more authentic than anything Hollywood can offer, and as a result the film has a raw emotional weight that commercial features rarely achieve.

Undefeated does more to draw a straight line between the desire to win (as opposed to actually winning) and the character of a man than a thousand locker room pep talks.

MSI outs new GT60 / GT70 gaming laptops, we go hands-on (video ...

MSI already popped up on the rumor-radar this week, and now it's confirmed a pair of new gaming laptops at CeBIT. The main difference between the new boys -- that we can see so far, at least -- is the display, with the GT70 sporting 17 inches against the GT60's 15. Both rock an eye-tingling rainbow-effect "SteelSeries" keyboard, as well as some gaming focused hardware. If one hard drive simply isn't enough, then the G-series' support for two SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration, alongside a regular HD, should definitely keep you going -- and support for up to 32 gigs of RAM should help things tick along nicely. We don't have detailed processor specs to share, unfortunately, and the models that MSI had on-hand at the show were simply mock-ups with older components.

After walking up to the duo, the first thing we noticed is how large they are -- especially after spending the day with a handful of Ultrabooks and tablets. The GT60 and GT70 aren't giants in the gaming world, but compared to other slim form-factor devices on offer, these are absolute monsters. We suspect this isn't so much of an issue, however, if you are in the market for this type of machine. The large size isn't wasted, either, with the both housing three USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports (only one for the GT60), an SDHC card slot, and full audio in, out, microphone and headphone ports for audio connectivity, plus an optical drive in each. The final machines will likely have Ivy Bridge processors and are penned in for an April release (provided that Intel's latest-gen processors hit the market by then). You'll be able to pick up the GT60 for around ?1,999 (about $2,630), with the GT70 coming in at ?2,299 (roughly $3,025). Scoot on past the break to catch our hands on with the pair.

La vie, style et beaut?.: The Beauty Book: For Brain Cancer

Hello lovelies! I recently bought The Beauty Book for brain cancer after seeing a video on YouTube of Hilary Duff's behind the scenes photo shoot. She looked absolutely amazing and I was immediately intrigued as to what the book was about. The Beauty Book is a hard cover coffee table book full of gorgeous photographs of celebrities and ALL proceeds are donated to Snog and Headrush, both of which are non-profit Brain Cancer charities. The book was founded by Darren Tieste and 'Pantera' Sarah Uphoff. They have both lost loved ones to Brain Cancer and are truly passionate about this book. They started rallying celebrities for the project back in 2009! They have certainly managed to create a beautiful book for a great cause. Let me give you a sneak peek...

If you are as addicted to coffee table books as I am, you are going to love this book! Especially if you love makeup, fashion and hair. There are a lot of looks that I would love to try out on myself. And if you fancy a bit of a perv....?

Craig Holman: Will Main Street or Wall Street Get Dealt the Upper Hand on STOCK Act?

In the weeks following an explosive 60 Minutes expos? on congressional insider trading, both chambers of Congress nearly unanimously passed the "Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge" (STOCK) Act. But there is still no law. What's the holdup?

The ball is in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) court. And everyone is waiting for him to decide how to proceed.

It's not like the problem hasn't been well-documented. In congressional hearings, Robert Khuzami, director of enforcement for the Securities and Exchange Commission, acknowledged that the laws against insider trading have not been applied to Congress. "There does not appear to be any case law that addresses the duty of a member [of Congress] with respect to trading on the basis of information the member learns in an official capacity," Khuzami conceded. The same is true for congressional staff.

In addition, academic research showing that congressional lawmakers enjoy an extraordinarily high rate of return in the stock market has been well-publicized. That's why Congress fell over itself to pass a STOCK Act that would apply insider trading laws to itself. The problem is that the Senate and the House passed two different versions, leaving President Barack Obama's promise to sign the STOCK Act into law as soon as it reaches his desk unfulfilled.

The Senate approved a sweeping measure by a 96-3 vote that would specify that insider trading is illegal for Congress, that the cottage industry of lobbyists and Wall Street operatives who prowl the halls of Congress for insider information affecting the stock market fully disclose their clients and activities (known as the "political intelligence" provision), and that anti-corruption enforcement laws be repaired so that prosecutors can enforce these laws in the courts. The House of Representatives was ready to approve the same strong legislation - until House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) intervened, stripped the political intelligence and anti-corruption enforcement provisions from the bill and imposed a procedural rule under which the House could adopt only Cantor's weak substitute measure or none at all. The House reluctantly took the Cantor deal by a 417-2 vote. Now the differences must be worked out.

Now that the House has sent the stripped-down measure back to the Senate, Reid essentially has three choices: (1) adopt Cantor's weak version; (2) reinstate the political intelligence and enforcement provisions in some modified form and ping-pong the bill back to the House; or (3) send the bill to conference committee to work out the differences. (Reid could let the bill perish, but this is not a realistic option, given the public uproar over the issue.) Nothing has happened yet.

The first option is easiest but, like Cantor, Reid would appear to be caving in to Wall Street, which launched a massive lobbying campaign against the political intelligence provision. Also, Reid would then lose out on the very popular anti-corruption enforcement provision, which passed the Senate by voice vote. So this is unlikely. The second option would be fastest but the third option could work if Reid makes sure the end result is fair.

The ball in the Senate's court, and it is time once again for the Senate to insist on strong reform legislation - a STOCK Act that mandates Wall Street transparency and provides a viable means to enforce the law - and re-appeal to the large majority of House members to override Cantor. Proponents of the political-intel provision have already indicated the language can be narrowed somewhat while still preserving the intent. The anti-corruption enforcement provision is simply an imperative. If you agree, speak up now.

The clock is ticking. C'mon Senate, play smart ball. The president is expecting a strong STOCK Act on his desk, and the American public expects no less.
