(The Root) — With so many pundits declaring that President Barack Obama's second-term agenda is dead on arrival, you could be forgiven if you mistook the last few days for the first week of May … 2009.
Back then, there was already angst that in Obama's first first 100 days, unemployment briefly spiked to 10 percent and the stock market tumbled into the 6,000s, and Republicans were complaining about the president's "apology tour" through Europe, his handshake with now deceased Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez at the Summit of the Americas and the enormity of the stimulus that economists now say was too small.
Oh, and let's not forget about those Somali pirates.
Fast-forward to 2013: The New York Times' Maureen Dowd is putting the onus on Obama for a "dunderheaded Congress" that won't "behave"; the Wall Street Journal's Daniel Henninger complains that in Syria, Obama is guilty of "presidential followership"; and the Washington Post's Dana Milbank has argued, "One hundred days into his second term, Obama has already lost control of the agenda," since he appears to have failed to single-handedly overcome a Republican filibuster of gun control legislation.
Never mind that gun control wasn't on the president's legislative agenda until December's tragic shooting in Newtown, Conn. — and that he has yet to foreclose any of his options in Syria.
And never mind that at this point in Obama's first term, hardly anyone outside of Massachusetts had ever heard of Romneycare, and almost no one really believed deep down that we'd ever find and kill Osama bin Laden.
But from day 101 on, many of the goals of the Obama administration eventually came to pass.
Yes, he's had some notable setbacks on Capitol Hill in his second first 100 days, but as Obama himself said in his Wednesday press briefing, rumors of his demise are probably exaggerated.
Somehow, in between filibusters and rummaging around in the White House attic for his original long-form birth certificate, in his first term the president managed to bring the Iraq War to a dignified conclusion; chip away at unemployment — that's still far too high, even at 7.5 percent; and, with the Federal Reserve's help, nurse the Dow Jones industrial average into the respectable 14,000s.
It's fair to point out his flip-flops on gay marriage and Gitmo (landing both times, in my opinion, on the right position); and if, three years from now, there's no mortgage relief, we're still in Afghanistan and the labor force participation rate sits at 63.3 percent, then yes, Obama takes his share of the blame.
But whether you accept conventional wisdom that he hasn't cracked enough congressional heads — Lyndon Johnson style — or you believe GOP Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania when he says that gun control was filibustered "because the president wanted to do it," when it comes to legislative gridlock, Obama has clearly had plenty of help from legislators.
Even though, of course, it doesn't have to be this way. Recall that right after Obama got "shellacked" in the 2010 midterms, he struck a win-win deal with Congress, caving on the Bush-era tax rates while getting in return the repeal of "Don't ask, don't tell," extended benefits for the long-term unemployed and an up-or-down vote on the DREAM Act (ultimately defeated).
This could have been the model for future negotiations between Obama and the GOP, right? No matter where you stand on the merits of the deal, it was a classic case in which both sides gave up something they didn't want in exchange for something they did want. That's proof they know how to negotiate, whether or not they'll do it anymore.
But then you further recall that initially, Republicans crowed and Democrats howled about that deal — until the story changed, and Obama came out looking like the moderate man in the middle. Once that theme solidified, Republicans left the sandbox, took their toys and went home.
Right now, among many other issues, there are universal background checks and immigration reform on the table that can be exchanged for a budget deal and revamping the tax code. But a deal like that doesn't give congressional Republicans the one thing they apparently want more than a flatter tax code or more sensible budget cuts — it doesn't help them throw sand on Obama.
Even Toomey admits that Republicans are trying to make Obama look bad. But it's even worse than that. They're not interested in looking good themselves if it means that he looks good, too.

Regulatory changes and uncertainty have damped enthusiasm for new projects in countries such as Bulgaria, Romania and Poland, while European utilities that led the rush into the region several years ago have put growth aspirations on hold or, in some cases, packed up their bags to seek opportunities in the new Eldorado of Latin America.
Yet some emerging European wind markets continue to show considerable growth potential and opportunities are not lacking on the investment horizon. "There's been a definite push back in more mature markets (in the region), but new markets are starting to open," says Nandita Parshad, director for power and energy at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Among the more established emerging markets, Turkey continues to stand out for the steady expansion of its wind energy sector, growth that is generally expected to continue despite the economic and political bumps the country is currently experiencing.
Turkish resilience
Turkey has been rocked by a corruption scandal that erupted at the end of 2013. The scandal, which saw allies of prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government accused of money laundering, bribery and gold smuggling, led to the resignations of three cabinet ministers and has had both political and financial fallout. Political uncertainty has accentuated the impact of a global trend of investors selling off stocks and currencies of emerging markets, with the Turkish lira setting record lows against both the dollar and euro as 2014 began.
"Many investors ask us, but we don't see the current situation as a threat," says Gokhan Baykam, CEO of renewable energy developer and operator Relight. Baykam believes wind and land-rich Turkey remains attractive for smalland mid-sized European renewable groups, for whom investments in distant markets in South America and the Far East may not be financially or logistically feasible.
"Over the last decade, the investment environment in the Turkish power and renewables sector has been positive," says Richard Konig, corporate finance director at Raiffeisen Centrobank. "Despite current political challenges, the long-term fundamentals remain positive and investors who know the country well are moving forward. There is above 5% power demand growth on average, while Turkey is scarce in natural resources and wind needs to play a significant role in the future."
Market participants highlight the Canadian Public Sector Pension Investment Board's planned investment in wind energy firm Polat Enerj — few details of which have been revealed as the transaction has yet to be completed - as a sign of investor confidence in the market. Polat, in which EDF Energies Nouvelles now owns 50%, is a leading Turkish wind-energy player, with more than 600MW of installed capacity.
Part of the current attraction of Turkey, particularly now as incentives have been rolled back in both mature and emerging markets in Europe, is that the market's development has never been driven by incentives. While a base feed-in tariff (FIT) of $73/MWh (EUR 54/MWh) is offered for ten years - and investors can opt in or out on an annual basis - participants have instead preferred to accept market prices, which have consistently been above this level and are expected to remain so, supported by forecast economic and power demand growth. "Turkey has always been interesting because it's effectively a merchant market, and development seems to be continuing," says Parshad.
A thriving local supply chain has also sprung up for both towers and blades, something the government has sought to encourage by offering higher tariffs for local content. Turkish wind potential remains high, with the government setting a 20GW target for the country's centennial in 2023, well above the current figure of around 2.8GW.
Poland awaits law
Another frontrunner for wind in emerging Eastern Europe is Poland, although enthusiasm has cooled considerably amid prolonged uncertainty on the regulatory front. Poland set out to alter its regulatory framework more than a year ago and investors are still waiting for a new law to be finalised. On the upside, Relight's Baykam believes some Polish projects have sufficient wind resources to be able to compete without incentives in the future. In the meantime, the government's assurance that it will not take retroactive actions has helped to maintain a degree of investor appetite, particularly for operating wind farms.
"Polish operating wind assets are very attractive," says Konig. "They have long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) and certificate purchase agreements (long-term offtake agreements for the purchase of green certificates) over 13-15 years for a price at or above EUR 100/MWh, which is why local utilities and infrastructure funds are interested in acquiring them. The new draft law foresees a tender mechanism for capacity, so you have to wait and see how the first tender goes, but clearly prices will be more competitive and the developer premium will be lower than in the past."
Italian renewable energy group Erg Renew, which has Romanian and Bulgarian wind assets through its Lukerg Renew joint venture with the renewables arm of Russia's Lukoil, is among those eyeing Poland. "There are a number of interesting opportunities," says Erg Renew CEO Massimo Derchi, although he adds that sellers are generally continuing to seek excessive prices for both operational and authorised wind farms despite a decrease in the number of potential buyers.
"Dong and Iberdrola both exited the market and there is a more restricted number of players looking to build up portfolios in Poland," he says. "When you come from a golden age in which everyone is coming into the market and assets are overvalued, it takes time for local players to understand that the game has changed and prices must adapt."
Poland is among those countries with plenty of potential for new capacity, with a 2020 target of 6.15GW of onshore wind capacity compared with 2.5GW at end-2012. But as long as regulatory uncertainty continues that is likely to remain out of reach.
"Policy certainty is needed in Poland for the country to be able to deliver on its potential," says Magnus Dale, European wind analyst at IHS Emerging Energy Research (IHS EER). "In general, the market landscape in Eastern Europe is being conditioned by ongoing policy adjustments, revisions to support mechanisms and the absence of a long-term and stable market framework," he says.
Romanian investors on edge
These problems certainly apply to Romania, which has a track record of altering its market framework in a way that feeds uncertainty. Until recently, wind-farm operators in the country were issued two green certificates for every megawatt hour of power production through to 2017, with the number of certificates set to revert to one starting in 2018 until the end of the 15-year incentive period.
A first major change was implemented last summer, when an emergency ordinance stipulated that producers would only receive one of the two certificates due to them now, with the payment of the second delayed until the 2018-2020 period. Subsequently, the government approved additional legislation cutting remuneration for wind farms coming online from 2014 onwards to 1.5 certificates initially and 0.75 certificates beginning in 2018.
Investors have been on edge, not so much from the incentive cut itself but because of the confusing way in which changes have been made and communicated. At first there were concerns that both the cut in the number and the postponement in delivery of some green certificates would apply to new projects, although it was later clarified that these would be subject to the cut in remuneration but no payment delays. And in January, Romanian president Traian Basescu asked parliament to re-examine last summer's emergency ordinance, claiming the European Commission had not been correctly notified of the legal change.
Romania's current slowdown could be seen as part of a normal adjustment process, consolidating its position after a period of rapid growth. Installed wind capacity zoomed from just 14MW at the end of 2008 to an estimated 2.5GW at the end of last year, and Romania remains on track to meet its 2020 target of 4GW.
Although the boom days may be in the past, the projects commissioned early in 2014, plus others already under construction, should bump up Romania's capacity figure by a few hundred megawatts this year. Among facilities set to be completed this year is a 50MW project owned by Romanian developer Monsson Alma and equipped with turbines produced by Chinese manufacturer Goldwind, which is among Chinese companies seeking a European foothold by entering from the east.
Bulgaria reputation suffers
If both Romania and Poland get chastised for the lack of a stable framework, Bulgaria's reputation is even worse. The general consensus is that the government has systematically set about halting further development of wind and other renewable energy sources, with a long series of measures penalising the sector.
The situation precipitated in 2012, when a grid-access fee equivalent to 10% of the wind feed-in tariff was introduced. Producers went to court, and won, and that measure was dropped. Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the Bulgarian parliament last December approved a 20% levy on renewable-energy revenues. Bulgaria's constitutional court is expected to rule shortly on the legitimacy of the tax, and it is likely to invalidate this as well, but it is clear evidence of the difficult investment environment.
So the announcement in December by state power company NEC of a EUR 510 million wind project on the part of an unnamed Chinese investor raised plenty of eyebrows, one reason being that the mystery investor was said to be prepared to receive market prices for all power sold. "Even at the currently effective 'preferential' prices for wind, all serious investors have frozen their investment projects," the Bulgarian wind energy association said, asking for transparency on the deal. "The lack of predictability in the renewable-energy sector has driven both new and existing investors away from the market," the association said.
"We are prudent on investments and allow room for surprises," says Erg Renew's Derchi. "But we certainly cannot accept a 20% reduction in revenues. It's a pity because there's lots of wind in the area near the Black Sea and, while the grid is old, it's stable." However, once policy uncertainty is eliminated, he says Erg Renew might consider further Bulgarian wind investments.
Ukraine delivers good news
One of the most impressive growth rates among emerging east European wind markets last year was seen in Ukraine, although admittedly the starting point was low. According to figures from the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UWEA), cumulative wind capacity jumped 56% to 371MW and could reach 600MW this year.
Growth has been driven by local investors - in the form of utility DTEK and a group of companies known as Wind Farms of Ukraine - and a local-content requirement, now set at 30% and slated to move up to 50% this summer, is widely expected to serve as one major stumbling block to any rush from foreign investors. However, UWEA says the local-content requirement has already been met by manufacturers Vestas and FWT-Ukraine.
The news of Ukraine's abrupt decision in November to pull away from closer ties with the EU seems to have largely been shrugged off by investors, some surmise because Ukraine was never seen as an easy market to begin with. UWEA chairman Andriy Konechekov instead points to issues such as the lack of ambitious targets, clarity surrounding grid connections and eligibility for so-called green tariffs as holding back the sector.
"State-owned national grid operator Ukrenergo, which is responsible for grid connection issues, to date has no strategy or approved targets for renewable and wind development in Ukraine," says Konechekov.
"Ultimately, this creates uncertainty in the market since it is not clear how much wind power can be connected to the network."
The new eastern promise
A number of new markets in the east are also beginning to draw interest, although some up-and-coming markets will have limited potential and others are still on shaky regulatory ground.
"I would say Serbia is one of the more attractive markets for the future," says Konig. "[The country] offers EUR 92/MWh and, at around 3,000 hours of production, it's an attractive play. One downside, though, is that there is a capacity cap of 500MW."
Among those seeking to secure some of that capacity is Serbian renewable-energy developer Energowind — 50% owned by local oil and gas firm NIS — which broke ground late last year on a 102MW wind project in the north-east of Serbia. MK-Fintel Wind, the Serbian wind developer unit of Italian utility Fintel Energia, expects to complete two wind projects with a combined capacity of 16.5MW in the northern Serbian towns of Kula and Vrsac later this year.
In Kazakhstan, the European Bank for Reconstruction & Development is considering financing a 50MW wind farm that would rank as the country's first large-scale wind project. It is located in the Yereymentau region and is being developed by Samruk Green Energy, the renewables arm of Kazakhstan energy producer and supplier Samruk Energo, which is in turn a unit of the Samruk-Kazyna sovereign wealth fund.
"Kazakhstan has finally adopted a decent regulatory framework, and it's a very windy country," says EBRD's Parshad. Developer Relight, which shares a joint venture with Kazakhstan private-energy firm Visor, is also preparing to begin construction this year on the first 100MW of a 400MW pipeline of wind projects with grid connections in the country.
All eyes on Russian tender
Russia, with a mere 14MW of wind turbines installed, held its first wind tender last October. Only 105MW in wind capacity was assigned, roughly a tenth of the 1.1GW potentially made available. Demand for solar projects far exceeded that for wind, largely because a stringent local-content requirement is seen as easier to meet for solar photovoltaic projects. As is the case in Ukraine, lobbying is under way to modify local-content rules.
Eyes are now on a second request for bids that is planned for June, in which up to 1.65GW of wind power capacity will be up for grabs. "We think the Russian wind market will be defined by the second tender," says Dale. "The first was very local and very rushed, but in the second the volume is expected to be significantly higher and could attract international investors."
Among those expected to participate in the auction is German developer Sowitec, which has partnered with Russian utility Mezhregionsoyuzenergo for the 150-200MW Arkhangelsk project in the northern part of the country.
Others are watching but are not ready to dive into the Russian market just yet. With its Russian partner Lukoil, Erg Renew has begun to sound out turbine manufacturers and local authorities. "The good thing is that something is starting to move," says Derchi. "The bad thing is that we're still far from having sufficient clarity to be able to invest."

SAP reported Wednesday double-digit revenue growth in the third quarter, benefiting from a strong performance in the Americas and double-digit growth in the Asia-Pacific and Japan region, and high demand for its new technologies like HANA across all regions.
The company has also revised upwards its revenue guidance for 2012 which includes its October acquisition of Ariba, and expects to reach the upper-end of the guidance if there isn't a deterioration in the macroeconomic environment.
In the quarter ended Sept. 30, revenue was ¬3.9 billion (US$5 billion at the exchange rate on the last day of the quarter), up 16 percent from the same quarter a year ago, according to international financial reporting standards (IFRS). Software revenue grew 17 percent to ¬1 billion, while software and software-related service revenue was up 19 percent to ¬3.2 billion.
Profit was however down 51 percent to ¬618 million from the same quarter a year earlier, when the company's reduction of the provision for its TomorrowNow litigation with Oracle boosted profits. Profit was also impacted by a ¬64 million expense related to the currency hedging of the purchase price for the Ariba acquisition.
The business software company's revenue from its in-memory platform HANA was ¬83 million, putting it on track to meet full-year expectations of at least ¬320 million from the technology, the company said. Mobile revenue was ¬48 million which the company said was also on track to meet full-year forecast of ¬220 million.
SAP's cloud momentum also continued in the third-quarter with 12 months new and upsell subscription billings increasing 14 times, the company said. Even after including the company's February acquisition of cloud software company SuccessFactors in SAP's 2011 numbers the growth is triple digit at 116 percent, it added. For SuccessFactors on a stand-alone basis, 12 month new and upsell subscription billings grew 92 percent.
Including its October acquisition of Ariba, SAP expects full-year 2012 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase in a range of 10.5 to 12.5 percent at constant currencies. This includes a combined contribution of about 2.5 percentage points from SuccessFactors and Ariba. The previous outlook provided in July was 10 to 12 percent, and did not include Ariba.
SAP continues to expect full-year 2012 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of ¬5.05 billion to ¬5.25 billion at constant currencies in comparison to ¬4.71 billion in 2011.
Staff at the company has increased by 12 percent to 61,344 from 54,589 in the same quarter last year.

Andalou Naturals BB Cream Review!
I've been diggin' on Andalou Naturals skin care lately. Their products incorporate fancy fruit stem cell science which helps renews skin at the cellular level (geeking out, VBR-style), fights wrinks, and gives you that va-va-voomy glow. Since BB creams are all the rage, I HAD to review theirs to see how they compare to my current fave BB by derma e.
The deets:
All-in-One Beauty Balm Sheer Tint with SPF 30, $19.95:
- Contains age-defying fruit stem cell science
- Has a super light, natural mineral-tint hint of color (a bit orange-y, but when blended, it adapts to most light-medium skin tones)
- Smells like oranges!
- Mega moisturizing (great for peeps with dry, crusty-ass skin like me)
- Can be worn alone or under make-up
- Contains chemical-free UVA/UVB protection
- Nanoparticle Free
I don't recommend wearing this in place of foundation (the coverage is too light), but it works well as a base/tinted moisturizer.
Oil Control Beauty Balm Un-Tinted with SPF 30, $19.95:
- Contains age-defying fruit stem cell science
- Un-tinted mattifying formula
- Can be worn alone or under make-up
- Chemical-free UVA/UVB protection
- Nanoparticle Free
- Won't clog pores
It does have a slight white-ish residue (which is the case with most natural, zinc-based SPFs), so I recommend blending this in with a bit of your favorite vegan liquid foundation (problem solved).
Takeaway: With ingredients like 20% zinc oxide SPF, fruit stem cells, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and a slew of other anti-oxidants-rich ingredients, this product truly stands out in the world of BB creams. The coverage is much lighter than the one I reviewed by derma e, but it's mega rich and moisturizing, so I'll definitely continue to rock it (but will apply it with a bit of foundation for fuller coverage).
Ingredients of the tinted BB (so you can see that it's not loaded with ick nasties like conventional BB creams):
Aloe Barbadensis Juice, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Oils, Sorbitan Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Fruit Stem Cell and BioActive 8 Berry Complex, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Hyaluronic Acid, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract, Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Oil, Algae and Cucumis Melo (Melon) Extracts, Magnesium Sulfate, Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos), Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis and Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Extracts, Iron Oxide, Phenethyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil
What's your fave vegan BB cream?

I love your reviews, straight to the point and comparison to Derma E. Thanks!
I absolutely LOVE the Andalou BB cream! Mostly because I HATE makeup, and this gives me a little coverage and good moisture without feeling like makeup. And, not so many icky things that are in most products out there.
Yay! I LOVE BB creams! My favorite is Pacifica's Alight Multi-Mineral BB Cream and Mineral Fusion's Illuminating BB Cream. Love them both!

All of the greatest engineers in the world use Emacs. The world-changer types. Not the great gal in the cube next to you. Not Fred, the amazing guy down the hall. I'm talking about the greatest software developers of our profession, the ones who changed the face of the industry. The James Goslings, the Donald Knuths, the Paul Grahams2, the Jamie Zawinskis, the Eric Bensons. Real engineers use Emacs. You have to be way smart to use it well, and it makes you incredibly powerful if you can master it. Go look over Paul Nordstrom's shoulder while he works sometime, if you don't believe me. It's a real eye-opener for someone who's used Visual Blub .NET-like IDEs their whole career.
--Steve Yegge: Emacs is the 100-year editor.
I'm 40, but came (back) to programming about 6 years ago, starting with Visual Basic 6 (ay-yi-yi!). A co-worker would hard-code all his Perl in a text-editor (INCLUDING forms), which boggled my mind, but did not entrance. Slowly, I started using humble MS notepad for... notes while on the phone, open tasks throughout the day, etc. And slowly, I started wanting more. A number of other factors (desire to work closer to regexes, old desire to learn LISP [I came of age in the 80s, if you know what I mean]) lead me through a couple of editors, and finally to Emacs.
Now, I get frustrated in IDEs that I can't key-navigate and tweak to my heart's content.

Banner Saga: Factions is the F2P game out now.
There will be a SP Banner Saga game (this summer, supposedly) later. When that is purchased, it will open up new unit-types for Factions. (That is, if you buy the SP versions, you can have different units.)
In the meantime, Factions itself will continue to evolve, with more levels, more unit types, more features, and (eventually) AI.

The Integrated Research Training Group (IGK) trains junior scholars in the SFB. It is seamlessly connected to the already existing doctoral training programme in the Research Academy at the University of Leipzig. The IGK thus brings together the independent research activities of the doctoral candidates with the training modules of the SFB and the Leipzig Graduate School Global and Area Studies. Together with the Graduate School, the IGK organizes research seminars, summer and winter schools, as well as thorough method training and progress reviews.

The Central Project (Z Project), first and foremost, brings together all administrative activities carried out by the SFB's projects, including, among others, a weekly colloquium, thematic working groups (each connected to a series of workshops), the annual conferences, a guest researcher programme, and participation in conferences. Secondly, the postdoctoral project "Spatial Formats and Spatial Orders: Typology and Historical Narrative" is embedded within the Z Project.
To foster internal discussions and debates as well as general work on a common theoretical and conceptual framework within the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 1199, 14 thematic working groups have been established that will address different dimensions of the SFB's research programme. This structure reacts to the disciplinary, theoretical, and methodological differences within the interdisciplinary composition of the SFB. Helping to establish bridges across the projects and the disciplines involved, the thematic working groups will promote the creation of a common intellectual work on theory and concepts.

Editor's Note: This review contains text from our reviews of the step-up models in the same line: the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium.
The $200 HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One printer is an updated version of the Officejet Pro 8500 multifunction, which I lauded for swift print speeds and an intuitive 3.4-inch touch screen. The next iteration builds on that design, and the Officejet Pro 8600 gets a performance makeover from the inside out with improvements to the speed of the print engine, the texture of the 2.65-inch color touch screen, and a sleeker chassis that pushes the control panel to the far right side. The device also takes printing to the cloud with ePrint and an accompanying iOS app, making the Officejet Pro 8600 an impressively resourceful printer. I recommend it for home offices and professional environments that need a dependable workhorse printer.
Design and features
The Officejet Pro 8600 printer strips away the glossy veneer of the past and replaces it with a modern matte paint job that does its best to hide dust and fingerprints. It has a professional look that should easily fit into in any office or home decor, though at 11.8 inches tall, 19.4 inches wide, and 18.1 inches deep, you'll need to clear a sizable amount of space to fit its large chassis. Still, it's slightly smaller than the other two printers in the line, the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and the beefy Officejet Pro 8600 Premium. All three models have two indented handles on the sides that make them easier to transport, though you won't want to move any of them on a daily basis.
A single 250-sheet input tray protrudes 4 inches out of the front of the Officejet and a 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF) resides on top. You won't find a manual feed tray in the center console like you would on a laser printer, which you might find irritating if you print on irregular media like heavy cardstock or nonstandard envelope sizes. If that's important to you, I recommend the HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP, a capable HP laser printer with similar all-in-one scanner, copier, and printer functionality.
If the Pro 8600's paper input capacity is insufficient, the Premium model includes an extra 250-sheet paper tray, an additional set of ink cartridges worth $60, and a 50-sheet pack of HP Premium Glossy Brochure paper, priced for $14 in Hewlett-Packard's online retail store. By upgrading to the step-up Premium package, you'll save about $50 on your overall cost of consumables, and I recommend taking advantage of these savings up front if you plan to print lots of photos or graphic documents.
If you're shopping on a budget and don't need a 4.3-inch display, the Officejet Pro 8600 costs $100 less than the Premium model thanks to its smaller 2.65-inch screen. The onscreen interface is the same, however, and you'll still get access to light photo edits, ePrint, and the standard print, copy, scan, and fax functions. Typing characters on the QWERTY keyboard resulted in more goofs on the smaller screen, but I couldn't tell the difference after some practice and precision tapping.
This updated screen also has less mushy play between the outward-facing screen and the hard registration pad below it, so you're less likely to mistakenly press a button. The screen still isn't perfect--some of the onscreen features required me to repeatedly push the corresponding virtual icon until the action finally registered. With no way to recalibrate the screen in the settings page, you're in for a frustrating experience until the printer gets what you're trying to do.
In addition to using a direct USB connection (like most vendors, HP does not include a USB cable with the printer), you can set up the Officejet Pro 8600 on your network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. I tested the Wi-Fi connection and found the process was easy: using the printer's touch screen, I navigated through a few setup screens to find our network, quickly entered its password using the virtual QWERTY keyboard, and established a connection within a minute. Macs and PCs alike on our network were able to see the printer without any additional software being installed.
Once you connect the printer to a wireless network, you can use HP's AirPrint feature to print from any iOS device without an additional application. Using AirPrint, you can print out a photo from your iPhoto library by simply choosing the connected printer and hitting Print. You can't adjust any print properties, however; and our Hipstamatic test photo printed with a portion missing on both letter-size paper and 4x6-inch photo paper.
In addition to AirPrint, the Officejet Pro 8500A features HP's ePrint technology, which enables you to send jobs from any connected device to the printer using a uniquely assigned e-mail address. You can find this address using the control panel (Wireless > Web Services > Display Email). It's a convenient feature, to be sure, but it comes with a few restrictions. For one, the printer must be on and also connected to your network. Also, it can't print Web pages, although you can simply copy and paste the text into a document as a workaround.

PLEASANT HILL — Following Tuesday's nightmarish evening commute on the Pittsburg-Bay Point line, BART trains resumed normal service Wednesday morning for about 51/2 hours.
Then came a glitch on the same line, though not as severe as the one Tuesday night that stranded hundreds of commuters.
A malfunctioning brake on a car stopped a train heading from Pittsburg-Bay Point to San Francisco International Airport in the Transbay Tube just after 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, causing a 20-minute delay, BART spokesman Jim Allison said. The issue resolved itself quickly, with the car taken out of service in Daly City. Delays were only five minutes systemwide by 10 a.m.
The delay barely created a ripple compared with Tuesday evening's fiasco, when a portion of track and third rail became damaged north of the Pleasant Hill station. BART officials closed the track between the Concord and Walnut Creek stations in both directions around 5:10 p.m., leaving hundreds of commuters looking for other ways to get home.
BART spokesman Alicia Trost said Wednesday morning that investigators had found a flange on the tracks and that the damage occurred at an interlock in the tracks, where a set of switches can transfer trains from one track to another.
A flange is a part of the train's wheel that keeps it attached to an axle.
Trost said the damage to the track was "extensive" and that the agency is conducting a "complete, diagnostic investigation."
With the interlock damaged, trains moving east toward Bay Point were forced initially to turn around at the Walnut Creek station, while westbound trains stopped at Concord.
By 8:15 p.m. Tuesday, trains were able to single-track through the stations, but the residual effect delayed trains for about 20 minutes until the end of service Tuesday night, Trost said.
Full service on the Pittsburg-Bay Point line resumed at 4:02 a.m. and continued without a hitch until the delay in the tube, the first delay reported on the system's 52 lines Wednesday.

It is perhaps not appropriate to hold the death of someone, of anyone, in such a joyful light, but after almost 10 years of world-wide sorrow and pain caused by a truly evil person it is certainly a natural reaction.
My 5 year old son, Daniel, emerged from his peaceful sleep to ask for a glass of water as I began typing this. I could not help but hold him a little tighter knowing that the world is a better place tonight for us all and I teared up like the squishy, emotional momma that I am.
I have seen comments posted on Facebook and around news sites politicising and or insulting our President for this, and all I can say is shame on everyone that says such things! Regardless of who is in office and whether you support him or not, our nation had a tremendous night in the war on terror. A night that we will be able to tell our children and grandchildren about. A moment that we will most likely remember for the rest of our lives. Why fill it with such hatred? Such animosity? Instead, just say,
"To all of the people who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and to all of our servicemen and women who lost their lives to bring to justice the mastermind behind their murders, I pay you homage. We will never forget."
God bless our wonderful nation this night and always.

Despite the global economy's ups and downs, lowered economic growth projections by the World Bank – part of this seeming to be slowly getting back to their tracks – plus internal domestic challenges, no response for the helicopter industry seems to be as dynamic as Brazil's.
The diversity in applications, possibilities and current fleet distribution poses challenges and opportunities for helicopter makers, distributors and support services in a single hugely segmented geographic region. This situation may not be quite different than what possibly occurred in the U.S. market about 40 years ago.
Beyond private VIP applications, particularly sensitive to finance market instabilities, manufacturers have also experienced a growing demand for oil and gas operations, law enforcement support, emergency medical services, newsgathering and a variety of other potential applications, such as the agriculture market, firefighting, lines maintenance – not to mention defense.
Among the top five civilian helicopter fleets in the world, the country has closed 2012 with roughly 2,000 registered units, 1,893 being general aviation (GA) units. Currently at mid-2013, the GA number is around 2,020 units, and remains with favorable projections to keep growing over the world's average. The 1,893 registered units represents 14 percent of the entire country's GA fleet.
From this total, São Paulo state alone concentrates 690 units with more than 400 units in greater São Paulo city. Such developed market requires a considerable infrastructure providing services as maintenance, parking, as five large helicenters, more than 200 helipoints and a dedicated control tower from Congonhas Airport managing a number of air routes in a controlled area throughout the city.
Emerging markets showed growing taxes in 2012 equal or bigger than developed markets: Centralwest (+14 percent), North (+16 percent), North East (+17 percent) against developed Southeast (+14 percent) and South (+16 percent) markets.
Some manufacturers are focusing on Brazil for its large and more immediate potential. Helibras, the subsidiary of Eurocopter in Brazil, was the first to establish a new local plant for heavy helicopters, (EC-725/EC-225) besides its light Squirrel assembly line in Itajubá city at Minas Gerais state. But the facility probably will not be alone within the next five years. Other companies like AgustaWestland (with a defined project), Sikorsky and Russian Helicopters are also planning to locally establish their companies. A panoramic view of part of this market scenario could be seen at the annual Latin America Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (LABACE), held from August 14-16 at Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, reflecting the industry and services business agendas for the market.
Considered one of the largest executive aviation trade shows in the world, LABACE, organized by ABAG – the Brazilian Association of General Aviation – is now in its 10th edition, with a consolidated presence of the helicopter industry. It is also becoming the most significant helicopter exhibition in Latin America. This year the event totaled 14,000 attendees and 180 exhibitors, a number of them related to the helicopter market, along with 68 aircraft, 13 of them being helicopters.
The usual low profile of the helicopter industry in mixed aviation events, contrasted with their congested and flamboyant static exhibition, for the second year, right at LABACE entrance. Part due to the lack of space caused by larger booths in a restricted area at Congonhas Airport and part due to the fact that helicopter sales in Latin America – as recently mentioned by Helicopter Association International (HAI) president Matt Zuccaro – now represent about 7 percent of the world market share, and sales in Brazil alone represent half of that share.
An international events organizer with offices in Brazil is including in its helicopter services and equipment in its oil and gas portfolio, logistics section. They are scheduled to have a dedicated area for two exhibitions: Santos Offshore Oil & Gas Expo 2014, to be held in Santos City, aimed mainly to cover Santos Basin operations, followed by Brazil Offshore 2015, to be held in Macaé City, Rio de Janeiro, aimed mainly to cover Campos and Espirito Santo basin operations.
These actions may also be considered as a strong signal that before too long, the country may have again a successful 100 percent helicopter event covering all helicopter segments, services and equipment.
So, it seems that is not hard to guess where global helicopter makers and show organizers will find a continuous market growth in Latin America for their business in the coming decades.

MACHNICKA, A; GRűBEL, K y SUSCHKA, J. The use of hydrodynamic disintegration as a means to improve anaerobic digestion of activated sludge. Water SA [online]. 2009, vol.35, n.1, pp.129-132. ISSN 1816-7950.
Disintegration by hydrodynamic cavitation has a positive effect on the degree and rate of sludge anaerobic digestion. By applying hydrodynamic disintegration the lysis of cells occurs in minutes instead of days. The intracellular and extracellular components are set free and are immediately available for biological degradation which leads to an improvement of the subsequent anaerobic process. Hydrodynamic disintegration of the activated sludge results in organic matter and a polymer transfer from the solid phase to the liquid phase, and an increase in COD value of 284 mg∙ℓ-1 was observed, i.e. from 42 mg∙ℓ-1 to 326 mg∙ℓ-1. In addition the degree of disintegration changed from 14% after 15 min disintegration to 54% after 90 min of disintegration. A disruption of bacterial cells by hydrodynamic cavitation has a positive effect on the degree and rate of excess sludge anaerobic digestion. The cells of the activated sludge micro-organisms rupture and addition to the digestion process leads to increased biogas production. The hydrodynamic disintegration of activated sludge leads to a higher degree of degradation and higher biogas production. Adding the disintegrated sludge (10%, 20% and 30% of volume) to fermentation processes resulted in an improvement in biogas production of about 22%, 95% and 131% respectively.
Palabras clave : anaerobic digestion; hydrodynamic disintegrations; cavitations; biogas.

Budd Schulberg, who wrote the award-winning screenplay for "On the Waterfront" and created a classic American archetype of naked ambition, Sammy Glick, in his novel "What Makes Sammy Run?," died on Wednesday. He was 95 and lived in the Brookside section of Westhampton Beach, N.Y.
His death was confirmed by his wife, Betsy.
Mr. Schulberg also wrote journalism, short stories, novels and biographies. He collaborated with F. Scott Fitzgerald, arrested the Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl and named names before a Communist-hunting Congressional committee. But he was best known for writing some of the most famous lines in the history of the movies.
Some were delivered by Marlon Brando playing the longshoreman Terry Malloy in the 1954 film "On the Waterfront." Malloy had lost a shot at a prizefighting title by taking a fall for easy money.
"I coulda been a contender," Malloy tells his brother, Charley (Rod Steiger). "I coulda been somebody. Instead of a bum, which is what I am."
It was Adam's fall in New York argot. Mr. Schulberg won the 1954 Oscar for best story and screenplay.
Mr. Schulberg wrote about the power of Hollywood moguls, mob bosses and political ideologues to run roughshod over ordinary people longshoremen, boxers, even writers. It was the System against the little guy, a fixed fight in a world where "the love of a lousy buck" and a "cushy job" were "more important than the love of man," in the words of Father Barry, the crusading priest in "On the Waterfront" played by Karl Malden, who died on July 1.
"It's the writer's responsibility to stand up against that power," Mr. Schulberg said in an interview with The New York Times in 2006, videotaped for posthumous showing on its Web site. "The writers are really almost the only ones, except for very honest politicians, who can make any dent on that system. I tried to do that. And that's affected me my whole life."
The son of a movie mogul, Mr. Schulberg was twice ostracized by Hollywood and twice fought back with his typewriter. The first time came in 1941, with his first novel, "What Makes Sammy Run?," a depiction of back-lot back stabbing. The story's antihero, Sammy Glick, a product of the Lower East Side, is a young man on the make who will lie, cheat and steal to achieve success, rising from newspaper copy boy to Hollywood boss on the strength of his cutthroat ambition. "The spirit of Horatio Alger gone mad," Mr. Schulberg said.
The book cut so close to the bone that Mr. Schulberg was warned that he would never work in the film industry again.
The second time Mr. Schulberg faced professional ruin was when he appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1951 during its relentless investigation of the Communist Party's influence on the movie industry.
Mr. Schulberg had gone to the Soviet Union in 1934 and joined the Communist Party of the United States after he returned to Hollywood. "It didn't take a genius to tell you that something was vitally wrong with the country," he said in the 2006 interview, recalling his decision to join the party.
"The unemployment was all around us," he said. "The bread lines and the apple sellers. I couldn't help comparing that with my own family's status, with my father; at one point he was making $11,000 a week. And I felt a shameful contrast between the haves and the have-nots very early."
His romance with Communism ended six years later, when he quit the party after feeling pressure to bend his writing to fit its doctrines.
Mr. Schulberg had been identified as a party member in testimony before the House committee. Called to testify, he publicly named eight other Hollywood figures as members, including the screenwriter Ring Lardner Jr. and the director Herbert Biberman.
They were two among the Hollywood 10 witnesses who said the First Amendment gave them the right to think as they pleased and keep their silence before the committee. All were blacklisted and convicted of contempt of Congress. Losing their livelihoods, Lardner served a year in prison and Biberman six months.
In the turmoil of the Red Scare, Mr. Schulberg's testimony was seen as a betrayal by many, an act of principle by others. The liberal consensus in Hollywood was that Lardner had acquitted himself more gracefully before the committee when asked if he had been a Communist: "I could answer it, but if I did, I would hate myself in the morning."
In the 2006 interview, Mr. Schulberg said that in hindsight he believed that the attacks against real and imagined Communists in the United States were a greater threat to the country than the Communist Party itself. But he said he had named names because the party represented a real threat to freedom of speech.
"They say that you testified against your friends, but once they supported the party against me, even though I did have some personal attachments, they were really no longer my friends," he said. "And I felt that if they cared about real freedom of speech, they should have stood up for me when I was fighting the party."
After his testimony Mr. Schulberg came back with the story and screenplay for "On the Waterfront." The idea grew out of a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of articles written for The New York Sun about the power of mob bosses on the New York docks. Mr. Schulberg did months of independent research. He befriended a crusading priest, the Rev. John M. Corridan, who fought for the dockworkers' cause and became a model for Father Barry.
The script, which won one of eight Oscars awarded to the film, bears echoes of Mr. Schulberg's own political struggle: the film's director, Elia Kazan, had also chosen to name names.
At one point Father Barry encourages the dockworkers to testify against the mob. In America, he says, there are "ways of fighting back."
"Getting the facts to the public," the priest continues. "Testifying for what is right against what is wrong. What's ratting to them is telling the truth for you. Can't you see that?"
Seymour Wilson Schulberg was born on March 27, 1914, in New York. He grew up in Hollywood in the 1920s, surrounded by silent-movie stars. His father, B. P. Schulberg, rose to be chief of production at Paramount Studios; his mother, the former Adeline Jaffe, was a prominent literary agent. Budd attended Dartmouth and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude in 1936.
He spent World War II making information and propaganda films for the War Department and the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency, working with the Hollywood director John Ford. In Germany at the war's end, he helped put together filmed evidence against the Nazis for the Nuremberg trials. To help in the editing, he tracked down Leni Riefenstahl, who had made powerful propaganda films for Hitler. Dressed in his military uniform and with a warrant in his pocket, he drove to her Bavarian chalet and returned with her to Nuremberg in an open-air military vehicle.
Mr. Schulberg published a gritty second novel, "The Harder They Fall," in 1947. One of the first realistic examinations of professional boxing, based partly on the career of Primo Carnera, a heavyweight champion managed by a gangster, the book stood for many years as a model for other novels, plays and films about the amoral world of the ring. His 1950 novel, "The Disenchanted," grew out of his attempt 12 years earlier to collaborate on a screenplay with F. Scott Fitzgerald, then in a long alcoholic tailspin. Mr. Schulberg, who was 24 at the time, had turned in a mediocre first draft for a film to be set at Dartmouth, called "Winter Carnival." The producer, Walter Wanger, told him a second writer would be assigned to help him knock out the script.
"I wasn't too happy about it," Mr. Schulberg remembered. "I said, 'Who's the writer?' He said, 'F. Scott Fitzgerald.'
"I thought it was just a joke, like saying 'Leo Tolstoy,' " Mr. Schulberg recalled. "And I said, 'Scott Fitzgerald isn't he dead?' And he said, 'No, he's not dead, he's right in the next room reading your script.' "
The effort ended after Fitzgerald went on a bender in New Hampshire with Mr. Schulberg, who turned the disastrous experience into "The Disenchanted." (The novel was later transformed into a play, which had its Broadway debut in 1958 and brought Jason Robards a best-actor Tony Award.) After their joint success with "On the Waterfront," Mr. Schulberg wrote and Mr. Kazan directed "A Face in the Crowd" (1957), one of the first films to weigh the political clout of television. Based on a Schulberg short story, the film depicts the transformation of a country singer, played by Andy Griffith, from power-drunk star into populist demagogue.
Mr. Schulberg wrote ceaselessly, writing for television, publishing journalism and releasing books. He remained convinced that writing could help create a measure of social justice. In 1965 he founded the Douglass House Watts Writers Workshop in Los Angeles with the goal of encouraging black teenagers to write. He also founded the Frederick Douglass Creative Arts Center in New York in 1971.
Mr. Schulberg's 1936 marriage to Virginia Ray ended in divorce in 1942. His 1943 marriage to Victoria Anderson ended in divorce in 1964. His third wife, the actress Geraldine Brooks, died in 1977. In 1979 he married the actress and writer Betsy Ann Langman.
He is survived by a daughter, Victoria Kingsland, from his first marriage; a son, Stephen, from his second marriage; a son and daughter, Benjamin and Jessica, from his fourth marriage; two grandchildren; and his sister Sonia OSullivan. Another son from his second marriage, David, died in 2005.
Mr. Schulberg never stopped working. Last year he was in Scotland, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, for a new adaptation of his stage version of "On the Waterfront"; he and Stan Silverman had first adapted it for the stage in 1995, when it had its Broadway debut, to weak reviews.
In 2001 Mr. Schulberg began collaborating with the director Spike Lee on a screenplay about the heavyweight title fights between Joe Louis, the black American champion, and Max Schmeling, the German boxer, each man serving as a reluctant symbol for two nations soon to go to war.
For Mr. Schulberg, the story, as yet unproduced, yielded vividly dramatic possibilities but also an opportunity to consider social issues involving race, sports and national identity. It was his kind of story.
"I'd like to be remembered as someone who used their ability as a novelist or as a dramatist to say the things he felt needed to be said about the society" while being "as entertaining as possible," he said in the 2006 interview.
"Because if you don't" entertain, he said, "nobody's listening."

4th of July Picnic – Make it Good Fun and Good for You!

4th of July is just around the corner and that the grills are about to be fired up to make some great food. Are you looking for some healthier and great tasting alternatives to the traditional burgers and creamy potato salad? I've put together a menu with links to the recipes. Try one or try them all!
Have a Great and Safe 4th of July!
Apple Crunch Mix A crunchy snack alternative.
Lemon Chicken with Cabbage-Corn Slaw
BBQ Potatoes I recommend substituting olive oil for the margarine or butter in this recipe.
Grilled Vegetable Kabobs The grill is fired up so use it to cook the vegetables too.
Jicama Melon Salad – a personal favorite. Use mandarin oranges, drained, to make it easier.

Sacramento man, 54, dead in crash north of Reno
Authorities say they believe alcohol played a role in a northern Nevada crash that killed a 54-year-old Sacramento man.
Nevada Highway Patrol officials say Ken W. Rodgers died at the scene of the accident about 10 p.m. Saturday.
Authorities say Rodgers' 2005 Chevy Trailblazer was traveling on U.S. 395 north of Reno when his vehicle drifted off the side of the highway and rolled down an embankment.
The SUV crossed both lanes of North Virginia Street and landed on its wheels near a two-lane street.
Troopers say Rodgers wasn't wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle.
Officials say no other vehicles were involved.

Will she or won't she run? Hillary Clinton appears to be inching closer to an answer.
After months of speculation and sidestepping, Clinton tackled the big question with a maybe, telling tech innovators she is "thinking" about a 2016 run.
"I am thinking about it, but I am going to continue thinking about it for a while," Clinton said Tuesday at a conference for marketing professionals in San Francisco.
Looking very much like a presidential candidate, former U.S. Secretary of State Clinton kicked off a series of West Coast appearances with a keynote speech addressed to several thousand people at a customer conference hosted by Marketo, a Silicon Valley maker of marketing software.
Following her speech, Clinton participated in a question-and-answer session with Marketo chief executive Phil Fernandez.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Clinton told Fernandez she'll have to weigh some difficult questions before she decides whether to run for president in 2016.
"I'm not going to make a decision for a while because I'm actually enjoying my life," Clinton said. "I'm actually having fun doing ordinary things like seeing my friends and going on long walks, playing with dogs."
Back in 2011, Clinton told NBC's Today show a 2016 run for the Oval Office was not "in the realm of possibility."
Clinton's keynote speech included comments on clean energy, the immigration debate, and education and unemployment.
"I see the small and the large changes we can make right now that will put us on the path to the kind of success that I know awaits us if, individually and together, we make the right decisions," Clinton said.
Clinton travels to Portland Tuesday night to speak to the World Affairs Council of Oregon. Then she'll make a stop in Las Vegas and then it's back to the Bay Area.
Clinton, who ran for president in 2008, is widely expected to run again in 2016.
Political analysts say Clinton has been doing a great job keeping herself relevant and in the public eye since she left her post as secretary of state 14 months ago.
"Barack Obama showed that it was very effective to try and bring new voters into the system and to really target young voters, so I think that Hillary Clinton is following that same playbook," said Melinda Jackson, associate professor of political science at San Jose State University, where Clinton will speak Thursday night.
Clinton is scheduled to appear on the SJSU campus as part of a lecture series featuring prominent women. As of Tuesday evening, StubHub had 67 tickets left to see Clinton at the 5,000-seat SJSU Events Center.
Clinton stepped down as secretary of state at the end of President Barack Obama's first term. Before that, she served as a U.S. Senator from New York from 2001-2009.
She is married to former President Bill Clinton and was first lady from 1993-2001.
San Mateo-based Marketo was founded in 2006 and produces marketing automation software. Its annual summits attract thousands of participants, with 3,500 people expected to attend this year.
Lisa Fernandez, the Associated Press and Bay City News contributed to this report.
