NVIDIA dropped a serious stunner about the Shield this morning, announcing a new $299 price tag and general availability starting June 27. According to a post on their official blog, they got great feedback from everyone who has used the device, but there was one common sentiment amongst the early testers -- if the Shield were priced at $299 it would be even more amazing. So that's what they did.
Everyone who has already preordered will be charged the new lower price when their device ships, saving $50 off the originally advertised price of $349. That's a lot of great Tegra-optimized games from Google Play, or maybe a nice dinner to make it easier to tell the wife you just spend $300. Any way you slice it, everyone loves saving $50.

We have previously discussed the repeatedly insistence by Obama that his Administration would go to a ?court? for the review of any actual communications. As noted earlier, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), or secret court, is treated as if it were a real court or had some meaningful powers of review. Obama previously told Charlie Rose, ?That?s why we set up the FISA court.? Of course, he did not set up the FISA court which has been around for decades and widely ridiculed as an absurd rubberstamp for the intelligence agency. Only a couple of applications have been denied in the history of that ?court.? When I had occasion to get into the court as a young intern with NSA, it set in place a lifelong opposition to it as an insult to the very concept of legal process. For Obama to cite this ?court? as the guarantee of transparency is nothing short of insulting. This is the court that classifies (at the demand of Obama?s Administration) the very legal interpretations used to justify massive warrantless searches of citizens.
It now appears that this ?court? agreed to allow the Administration to use the content of communications that are inadvertently gathered. In addition, the latest report from Glenn Greenwald and James Ball state ?The broad scope of the court orders, and the nature of the procedures set out in the documents, appear to clash with assurances from President Obama and senior intelligence officials that the NSA could not access Americans? call or e-mail information without warrants.?
The FISA court reportedly allowed the NSA to keep data ?that could potentially contain details of U.S. persons? for up to five years, and to retain and use ?inadvertently acquired? domestic communications that contain ?usable intelligence, information on criminal activity, threat of harm to people or property, are encrypted, or are believed to contain any information relevant to cybersecurity.?
As previously discussed, it is not clear why citizens should believe assurance from the government and Congress given the refusal to deal with past perjury by people like Clapper or the ever-climbing claims made by officials. In the meantime, Eric Holder is continuing his role as the President?s ?sin eater? in ignoring such admitted false statements to avoid enforcing the criminal laws against Administration officials like Clapper. So much for the person a MSNBC contributor calls the ?Moses of our time.?
The latest report states that ?the material collected can be retained, if it is useful, though in a segregated database.? If true, it would be the ultimate expression of the new privacy under Obama. The question is no longer whether it is constitutional, just whether it is useful.

Michael Jasny, director of the?NRDC?Marine Mammal Project, contributed this article to LiveScience's?Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.
Here?s a recipe for an environmental train wreck: Take one of the world's most powerful industries, allow it to conduct harmful activities for years without obtaining the basic authorizations required by law, and produce a wealth of science making it plain that those harmful activities are putting endangered and vulnerable species at risk.
Today (June 20, 2013), a number of conservation groups, including my own,announced a landmark agreement?that may prevent one such train wreck ? this one in the already scarred Gulf of Mexico.
The underlying problem is airguns.?To search for deep deposits of oil, companies troll the ocean with high-volume airguns that, for weeks or months on end, regularly pound the water?with sound louder than virtually any other man-made source, save explosives. We now know that these surveys can have?a vast environmental footprint, disrupting feeding, breeding and communication for whales and other species over literally thousands of square miles.
It's the sort of activity that ordinarily requires approval under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, Endangered Species Act and other federal laws. And yet the government has allowed it to proceed without authorization in the Gulf of Mexico, a body of water that may well be the most heavily prospected on the planet.
Industry runs dozens of exploration surveys each year in the northern Gulf, and many of them make use of large airgun arrays. For more than a decade now, the problem has languished, even as the threat posed by airgun exploration has loomed larger and larger.
Our alliance of conservation groups sued over the government's failure. In the end, we reached agreement with both federal officials and industry representatives that will help protect marine mammals while a comprehensive environmental review is underway. [Hidden Tracks: Whale Songs Found in Seismic Recordings]
Among other things, our settlement puts biologically important areas off-limits to high-energy exploration, expands protections to additional at-risk species and requires the use of listening devices to help prevent injury to endangered sperm whales. Our agreement is also forward-looking, requiring industry to develop and field-test an alternative to airguns known as marine vibroseis, which could substantially reduce many of the impacts. Over the long term, the hope is that working together stands a better chance of saving species in the Gulf's biologically compromised, politically heated environment.
Marine conservation in the Gulf isn't like conservation in other places. Among other difficulties, the disruptive activities NRDC is concerned about are affecting the same populations still suffering from the?Deepwater Horizon?disaster. [Mental Scars Run Deep Years After BP Spill (Op-Ed)]
Here you have several dozen small, coastal communities of bottlenose dolphins, which have undergone?a severe die-off?since the spill; a resident population of Bryde's whales, of which fewer than 50 individuals were believed to remain even before the spill occurred; and a population of strangely undersized sperm whales, whose nursery in Mississippi Canyon was ground zero for the spill.
Ultimately, our society must find mechanisms that reduce the industry's chronic, cumulative impacts on these imperiled animals.
Last summer, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?mapped average annual levels of ocean noise?from Texas to the west coast of Florida, and found that noise from airgun surveys alone was approaching 120 decibels throughout much of the northern Gulf. That?s a yearly average level of noise that, for whales and dolphins, nearly exceeds the government's standard threshold of harm for exposures of only one second.
Area closures will be needed like the ones in today's agreement, but also caps on activities, prohibitions on duplicative surveys, and mandates for the use of vibroseis and other greener seismic technologies. Those solutions tackle the problem at the source, and the Obama administration will certainly have to consider them in the comprehensive review that our agreement affords.
Today's settlement represents a new starting point and an opportunity to make up for years of regulatory neglect. Now the real work begins.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) - A Chesapeake man is fighting two battles: One with cancer and the other with his insurance company over treatment coverage.
Jonathan Derrick of Chesapeake said he has always had health insurance, never missed a payment and never had to use it. Now, when he needs insurance coverage the most, he said he feels as if the insurance company could cost him his life.
"When you picture this, this is how we are supposed to be," said Kelli Derrick as she flipped through a photo album.
A wedding in Vegas, followed by two young boys and a business of their own -- for Kelli and Jonathan, life couldn't get better.
"We were so happy," Kelli added.
But It's amazing how fast things can change.
"There were little signs here or there," Kelli said.? "He would say he had abdominal pain, and of course as a wife I would be like 'suck it up or call the doctor.'"
That was only six months ago, six months they'll never forget.
"It's a terrible word, especially for a 35-year-old with no history of it," Jonathan added.? "I never had a clue it would happen to me."
A trip to the doctor revealed Jonathan was suffering from rectal cancer. It also moved into his liver.
"I don't want to give up," Jonathan said. "There's too much to live for."
Optima Health, the couple's insurance provider, sent Jonathan to several doctors around the area. He went through radiation and chemo, but nothing worked.
"Now he's on no treatment because his body's not responding to treatment," Kelli added.
But then a breakthrough: one of the doctors they were seeing through Optima suggested an innovative procedure called "hepatic arterial infusion," a process that could directly fight his cancer.
The doctor sent Optima a letter saying Jonathan's prognosis is grim and he should go to New York's Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center that specializes in the procedure. The letter said Sloan-Kettering has recourses that aren't available any where in Virginia. Optima approved Derrick to go to New York for a second opinion.
"I feel like New York is our chance for me to live," Jonathan said.
During the trip, doctor's at Sloan-Kettering set up surgery for July 2.
"Then, four days later, we get a call from Optima saying 'sorry we denied Sloan-Kettering, because we've found a doctor at UVA that performs the exact same procedure'," Kelli said.
WAVY.com made several calls to the UVA Medical Center and was told "hepatic arterial infusion" wasn't offered there, but an Optima spokesperson said it is. The Derrick's said even if that's the case, they want it done by the best.
"I don't even think that there are words that can explain the anger that I feel for the insurance company," Jonathan said. "I don't know how somebody can sit behind a desk and snap their finger and say 'his life is not worth it'."
"This is just prolonging my sons having to see their father the way he was," Kelli added. "We had the hopes of having this [tumor] removed July 2. Even if UVA or any other hospital offers this, it's still not going to be within the time. We don't have time. He doesn't have time."
WAVY.com did get a statement from Optima that reads, "Optima Health works hard every day to improve the health of our members and provide them with appropriate options of care within the scope of their benefit plans. We respect the privacy of our members and will not discuss the specific medical care for any of our members."
The Derricks told WAVY.com they plan to go to New York, even if Optima doesn't pay for it. They said there are people all over Hampton Roads who are holding fund raisers to help them out. You can find more information about how to help by clicking this link .

Facts:
A complaint was filed by the wife against her husband and in-laws at 'X'. The court in X took cognizance of the matter. In the initial stage the bail was granted by the High Court. However, after seven years when the charge-sheet was filed, regular bail was granted by the Trial Court.
The chargesheet filed by the Investigating Officer was protested by us, as the Court at X had no territorial jurisdiction. The Court after considering our submissions dropped the proceedings. It was held by the Court that the alleged offences occurred at place Y and not at X and therefore the Court at X will have no jurisdiction. However, simultaneously the complainant (wife) was granted opportunity to file a fresh complaint within the limit of which the cause of action took place.
My question is, if the wife decides to file a fresh complaint but with the same facts and circumstances, with the police station/court where the cause of action occurred, will all the accused have to seek bail all over again or whether the provision of section 462 Cr.P.C. would be applicable?
Secondly, if the wife decides to file the same complaint but with the correct police station/court will all the accused have to seek bail all over again.
Advice in this regard would be highly appreciated. Please also provide case-laws or citation, if any.
