Christopher Kubasik, a top Lockheed Martin executive who resigned last week following an ethics investigation, will receive a $3.5 million separation payment,The Washington Post's Capital Business blog reports.
The investigation revealed that Kubasik had a "lengthy, close, personal relationship" with a subordinate employee, according to the report.
An employee who was not involved in the relationship came forward with the allegations, Lockheed's CEO Bob Stevens said, according to the Washington Business Journal.
Kubasik was set to take Stevens' place as CEO in January.
Kubasik will not receive a separate bonus for 2012, and "will forfeit any unvested stock options, unvested restricted stock units and long-term incentive performance awards for periods that have not been completed," The Post reported.

Betchworth Quarry
Pebblehill Road, Betchworth, Surrey
Betchworth Quarry was used for chalk working and later clay. It came into disuse in the late 1960s and has since been earmarked for a nature reserve. As such a major part of the quarry has been used as landfill, which was completed at the end of 2005 - which means that much of the distinctive "quarry" features have now been buried!
The area can be accessed by the North Downs Way, a path that runs across the hills of Surrey.
How to get here from Brockham Lime Works:
Walk: Head east along the path, and this will lead you up to the North Downs Way. Turn right will bring you to the quarry - there is a path leading uphill on the left, and this takes you up onto the new hill. +
Access: unknownStatus: demolishedLarge Cliff
« »Photograph taken: 1st February 2009 by Chuck Foster
"With the quarry now filled in, only the higher cliffs can still be seen in the area. The rest of the quarry is under our feet!"
Genesis of the Daleks (1)
Filmed: 6-9 Jan 1975
The Doctor and Harry make their way across the minefield
The Deadly Assassin (3)
Filmed: 26-28 Jul 1976
The Doctor tries to see where the rifle shot came from.
Additional Notes:
The quarry has now been land-filled, so very little remains of the 'surface' from either story!
Where to walk to next?
Brockham Lime Works (The Deadly Assassin). Head west on the North Downs Way, and then turn left down a footpath. Follow this alongside the field and it will come out by the old limeworks.
Other nearby locations:
Buckland Sand and Silica Co Ltd (The Seeds of Doom). Road: Turn right out the The Coombe, heading south along Station Road and past the station itself. When you reach the roundabout, turn left and head along the A25 towards Reigate. The quarry entrance is on the right-hand side, opposite Lawrence Lane. you can park on the roadside on Lawrence Lane, near a public footpath
Additional locations as the crow flies:
Royal Alexander and Albert School (The Deadly Assassin): 4.44 miles.
St Anne's Hospital (The Invasion of Time): 4.69 miles.

There are some sick people out there, including on Tumblr. The people who harass, insult, and threaten people anonymously, and are hidden behind a computer screen.
To those people,
Grow the fuck up and learn to be mature. I bet you wouldn't like people telling you to shoot yourself, slice your neck, and slit your wrists. Nobody likes to be hated on, so don't support or continue it. It's really not okay, because you could be the reason when you turn on the TV tomorrow, you hear someone has commit suicide because of bullying, online or off. Please, I beg of you, just stop the hate and learn to love. I can't stress this enough because I can't believe how you can be so insensitive as to be so cruel to people you may or may not even personally know. Where is the love?…
To the people who have been bullied,
I am going to give you some random advice I have given others in the past, as well as much more. First of all, if you cut, please don't. There are multiple other ways you can release your pain, just don't do it in a way that only gives you more. Look up The Butterfly Project, I personally love it, as well as TWLOHA. If you are feeling so terrible as to want to end your life, talk to someone about how you feel, rather than attempting to end it all in a way that you will most likely regret. I once read about all of the suicidals who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge and survived. They said as soon as they jumped, they regretted it. Now think about the people who didn't survive, and how they didn't realize how life precious was until it was too late. Don't do anything that can hurt you, and or the people around you. If you die, you're not only hurting yourself, but every life you've touched. Keep your head up. I know you might hate to hear this, but it's true. Things do get better. It might not be today, it might not be tomorrow, but it will happen. I'm here for you if you need to talk, as well as SO many others here on Tumblr. I care so much, and I don't want you to hurt yourself. As for those haters you might be getting, I don't get it. I see so many people get hated on, for no clear reason whatsoever. By people who don't even know them, but know they're weak and hit them where it hurts. It's sick to know people get kicks out of that. Fucking sick. If you get hate, do NOT take it personally. Shake it off. Most haters come from envy, whether you believe it or not. Maybe they hate you because you have something they don't. Maybe they hate you because you're beautiful. You never know.
Listen to me when I say, I love you and care for you. Stay strong. xox
-Kaila ♥
P.S. Smile for me :)

Kalantar-Zadeh compares the lack of consensus about weight and fat to the evolution of thought about alcohol consumption.
Alcohol was thought to be detrimental to a person's health, but studies started to show that alcohol consumption in moderation could have some health benefits, he said.
"The fat-is-bad principle is a very recent approach," he said. "Body-stored fat has helped us for hundreds of thousands of years to survive hardships. That should tell us evolutionarily there was something good in that."
A higher body mass index can be protective in certain situations, he said.
"Once you are in your 70s, 80s or 90s, or if you have chronic disease like heart failure, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic lung and kidney disease, a larger body size gives you longevity," he said.
Not all fat is bad, but belly fat is more harmful than fat in the arms, legs or buttocks, he said.
Fitness expert John Siracuse said people shouldn't get caught up with numbers.
"I always got people focused on their bodies rather than on a number and make them more aware of their muscle tissue, their shape," he said. "Are they getting stronger? Faster? Can they pedal longer? If you listen to your body more, you will know the symptoms before your body starts to break down. We tend to forget about our bodies and that's when we start getting fat."
Servoss said she can see where a little bit of extra fat could be good for people facing a serious illness, but said the more weight you have, the harder it is on your joints. Excess weight also comes with numerous health challenges, including circulatory problems, high blood pressure and diabetes, she said.
"I think the numbers have their place," she said. "They do give us some reference but it does ultimately come down to how you are feeling, your exercise tolerance, are you able to do the things you love to do without any difficulty?
"That's the kind of thing I should be focusing more on, rather than that my jeans come from the back of the rack rather than the front," she said.

After watching Nashville on Wednesday night (Nov. 14), all I could think of was how I'd love to be on that show so I could tell Juliette to grow the hell up, tell Rayna there's nothing wrong with country songs about moms and SUVs and tell Avery not to let the door hit him on the way out. But, unfortunately, I'm not on the show. You, however, can be. At least for a day. The show's producers are looking for extras next week. So if you can be in Nashville on Tuesday (Nov. 20), you can be on Nashville. You'll be a fan in the audience at a Rayna and Juliette concert. So you get to be seen on television and get to hear a free concert. They'll just need you to cheer, applaud, sing along and move around the arena. Just like you would at a real concert in the Bridgestone Arena. Filming will be between 1:30-7 p.m., and they are only looking for adults 18 and over. And since this "concert" is supposed to be taking place in San Diego, the casting director has asked that you not wear winter clothes. Also, please leave the full-on western wear (cowboy hats, cowboy boots, pearl-snap shirts and bolo ties) at home.

Acne is an annoying condition that teenagers and adults of all ages alike experience, and it may not necessarily occur on the face. This skin condition can show up anywhere, especially if there is over production of oil, which can clog up a skin pore, leading to infection and inflammation. One way we regularly try to reduce acne is to exfoliate, or scrub the skin to clear up any clogged pores.
However, skin which has over active sebaceous glands from scrubbing too hard may lead to an increase in acne by stimulating your pores to produce more oil.
Another way that we can reduce the amount of acne that appears is to use a good, quality cleanser. It must be oil free, but not drying. A cleanser that is drying can lead to a flaky, scaly skin appearance around the afflicted area. Additionally, a drying product will stimulate the skin to produce more oil, therefore increasing your chances for even more acne. The skin should be washed regularly, at night and in the morning, to clean off the debris accumulated while you sleep and as you go about your day. Learn more about Doctor D. Schwab Soft Foam Deep Cleanse Here
Use a deep cleansing mask a couple times per week in order to really allow the skin care ingredients to penetrate and clean all the layers of skin. Be sure to look for a mask that is clay-based in order to reap the most benefits. Learn more about Doctor D. Schwab Controlling Mask With Tea Tree Oil Here
Tea tree oil is a popular ingredient in skin-clearing masks, as this oil is known for its antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic qualities. It also has beneficial cosmetic properties. In fact, this type of essential oil has been shown to stand shoulder to shoulder with an equal amount of benzoyl peroxide when it comes to treating acne breakouts.
Finally, those of you who are concerned about acne should use a moisturizer after you clean in order to keep the skin soft and to restore the skin's youthful look and feel. Learn more about Doctor D. Schwab Controlling Balm With Tea Tree Oil Here

Anime/Manga RecommendationsModerator: BobD Re: Anime/Manga RecommendationsI just finished Madoka Magica. I cried. I cried so hard. The only other anime I've cried over is Code Geass. For a 12-episode long series to make me that emotional is saying something. Go watch it if you haven't seen it. It is absolutely amazing. Like nothing you've ever seen before. I swear. Just go watch it.
Having trouble styling your wig for your next cosplay? Well, you're in luck! Head on over to Erin's Wigs and check it out!
Re: Anime/Manga Recommendations
Liiiiiiiike <3 I cried too. It's such an unfair ending.

It really is... It was unfair, but it was an amazing ending because of it. It seems like the best endings seem to be... Having trouble styling your wig for your next cosplay? Well, you're in luck! Head on over to Erin's Wigs and check it out!
Kuroshitsuji is amazingg! My friends are super obsessed with it.
Re: Re:
Everyone seems to be obsessed with it haha. I thought it was pretty good though, not going to lie. Current IDEAS for 2014 AZ:
D.Gray Man: Lavi(?) Mushishi: Ginko(?) Final Fantasy 7: Zack Fair(?)
Re: Anime/Manga RecommendationsI would Recommend D.N.Angel Or Trigun. I know their kinda popular but I liked them.
Re: Anime/Manga RecommendationsKaikan Phrase! I feel like I've posted this before, but it was over a year ago so putting it out there again! It's one of my favorites, you'll especially love it if you're a musician or just a big fan of music. It's kind of like beck (anime about a band) but I like this one a little better.
What is your favorite anime/manga or the ones you recommend?Please tell me anime/manga that is your favorite or the one you recommend. Please explain why.

Re: What is your favorite anime/manga or the ones you recommAnime
CLANNAD/CLANNAD: After Story : Technically two separate series, but following the same plot and characters. Based on a Key novel, it would be a disservice to refer to it as a "Slice of Life" anime. It follows a young man's struggle with love and life as he matures through high school and the years beyond. In the fandom, there is a saying. CLANNAD is life. Not too far from the truth. Spice and Wolf. Follows the adventures of a medieval merchant who perchance comes by an unusual traveling companion. A wolf harvest deity in the body of an adolescent young woman. It actually manages to make economics cool. Freaking ECONOMICS. With tight scripting and plot, the characters are believable and relatable, with surprising depth. High School Of The Dead. Not going to claim any depth or amazing story. Pure, gratuitous zombie fiction. Guns, gore and girls. Major jiggle factor, violence galore, and one lunatic character my lunatic self can somewhat relate to. Based on an equally good manga. Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. Also not a deep story. Gratuitous Gainax all the way. Fanservice, humor, and plot entirely as an afterthought. Neon Genesis Evangelion. This should need no introduction. It is one of the definitive anime of all time. Cowboy Bebop. Same as above. It is an institution. El Cazador de la Bruja. A "girls with guns" anime that is a surprisingly fun "Wild west" romp. Not strictly a western, but definitely a modern variation of the theme. CANAAN. A complex action series with tie-ins to a game series. Not for everyone, but I certainly enjoyed it. AZ 2014: Gambit (X-treme X-men), Kirito (Sword Art Online), Revolver Ocelot (Metal Gear Solid series)
Re: What is your favorite anime/manga or the ones you recommAnimu:
Puella Magi Madoka Magica: A darker takeoff from the regular Magical Girl genre. Both guys and gals that I know have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Vibrant animation and music. Can't wait for the BD to hit our shores. Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne: Not for the squeamish, prudent, or otherwise faint of heart. Rin, a beautiful immortal woman, works as a detective by day, and fights "angels" by night. Sex, blood, gore, lesbians, torture, and nudity abound, not for the 18 and under crowd. Animation, story, and Alien Nine: Young girls forced to fight aliens. The main character is whiny as hell, but that's typical of 6th grade girls. Expect body horror, naked girls(not portrayed sexually, but if your mom walks in at the wrong time, she probably won't care), and an ending that makes you go read the manga. NGE: Kai already mentioned this one, but it's truly a good anime. It was a splash of color on the not-quite-monotonous Mecha genre up to that point. Digimon Season 3: If you watch no other Digimon series, watch this one. One of the writers for Evangelion worked on this, and it really shows by the finale. SoraNoWoto: Cute girls doing Cute things in war. Until the flashbacks. Good series, just wish the first episodes were as good as the last ones. Higurashi: Again not for the faint of heart. If you can get past the murderlolis, there's actually an awesome mystery under the surface. Seat 11 (Most truant member)
AZ '12 Cosplay: Rolling Girl Miku- 100% Akemi Homura from Puella Magi Madoka Magic- 100% (bought) Mastudoki from Yume Nikki- 100% technically, but still adding props Sabitsuki from .flow- 95% Derpy Hooves from MLP:FiM- 50% Things are looking up!
Re: What is your favorite anime/manga or the ones you recommI can't believe I forgot Madoka. Great series, very Faustian.
AZ 2014: Gambit (X-treme X-men), Kirito (Sword Art Online), Revolver Ocelot (Metal Gear Solid series)
Re: What is your favorite anime/manga or the ones you recommManga:
Alien Nine: Read this after you watch the anime. You'll understand. It's sweet. Hellsing: If you ever watched the original Hellsing Anime, you might thing the series sucks. Let this manga change your mind. Black Jack: Like House, only richer and less of an ass. HNNNG worthy stories, some have actually touched my black hole of a heart enough to bring me to tears. Uzumaki: A small town gets obsessed with spirals. Junji Ito-brand horror at it's best. KashiMashi: An adorable, crazy, gender-bending "yuri" series. With aliens. And pretty girls. I have others, just can't think of them. I'll edit if I remember. Seat 11 (Most truant member)

Re: Anime/Manga RecommendationsBleach. Greatest anime I've ever watched and still watching. They got a nice set of characters and story construction that everyone will surely love.
Re: Anime/Manga RecommendationsI would say Shugo chara is one everyone should check out along with Death note, Vampire knight, Ouran highschool hostclub, Spice and wolf, Ranma1/2, Samurai X, La Corda d'Oro ~primo passo, Skip beat, Hanasakeru Seishonen i have more just it would take all day
Because I'm one hell of a butler.
AZ11 Yuki cross vampire knight AZ12 Ikuto Shugo chara AZ13 female Neko thursday and sunday AZ13 L DEATH NOTE friday AZ13 AppleJack MLP Saturday
Re: Anime/Manga RecommendationsI recommend 失楽園 (Shitsurakuen; "Paradise Lost"), Maria+Holic, Dengeki Daisy, MAKA-MAKA, Mars No Kiss ("Kissing Mars"), End Of Eternity: The Secret Hours, Kuchibiru ni Saketa Orange, and Dawn Of The Arcana. *phew*
These are all really good and only a small handful of manga that have really stuck with me but if you don't know where to start, I suggest "Dawn Of The Arcana" and "Maria+Holic". (And I suggest reading the Maria + Holic manga first before watching the anime~)
Re: Anime/Manga RecommendationsHmm, that's a hard one cause there's so many good ones out there for new fans and old alike to enjoy. There's lots of "top 10" and "Popular" lists with the typical titles so I think I'll mention a few lesser known ones I like. Least I think they're lesser known now.
Science Fiction: Armatage III - Poly-Matrix. Comedy: Cromartie high school Fiction: Scrapped Princess Mecha: Innocent Venus Horror: Kakurenbo School: Toradora! Action: Though I know many will say this, you've got to see Akira! it's influenced so much of the anime world. Hope I thought of some people haven't yet
Re: Anime/Manga RecommendationsI will say Genshiken, Clannad, Angelbeats, kaikan phase
Because I'm one hell of a butler.

Re: Anime/Manga RecommendationsI'd recommend Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, Battle Angel Alita, HunterXHunter, Library Wars, Blade of the Immortal (Manga), Vampire Hunter D, and Revolutionary Girl Utena
Cosplays 2012: Tuxedo Mask (Sailor Moon)- 95% fixing the mask, getting real buttons. Maybe sexier jacket?
Charlotte Elbourne (Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust)- 5% New! Jessica Rabbit (Who Framed Roger Rabbit)-6% I ordered the shoes and have the makeup. Now for the hard parts...

Re: Anime/Manga RecommendationsOtomen. Just. Otomen. If you like a shoujo manga that's about a different perspective on girls and guys, this is for you. This is the first manga I have ever bought every single volume of. I love it that much!

Whether or not AAP succeeds, the party has shown it is possible to fight elections on low budget, without musclemen, without experienced politicians, by adopting innovative methods, and largely eschewing the temptation to appeal for votes on the basis of caste and religion.
It is this brand of politics, which prefers fiction to truth, that suits India's current rulers the best. It is this brand of journalism that Tejpal served up to the gullible both in India and abroad.

Pratap Bhanu Mehta argues that a changing India has left the ruling class uncertain of its position, and is therefore resorting to "intellectual closure and emotional crudity" to preserve itself.
The BJP has conveniently upped and lowered the ante on its demand for repealing Article 370 of the constitution through the years.
With barely a year since its launch, the Arvind Kejriwal-led party is set to take Delhi's political circles by storm in the upcoming 4 December elections.

Brands have been gaming social media since social media existed, as have individuals and political parties. But a few of the 'services' offered are disturbing – and could cause serious trouble for the companies concerned and their clients.

You know you're near the zeitgeist when a noun becomes a verb. More and more, people call it "Googling" when they turn to the Internet's best-known search engine to teach themselves a few salient facts or a truckload of background on a topic that's caught their interest. But what they call Googling, the training industry calls self-directed learning.
It's an area of training that is somehow ubiquitous yet under-the-radar, obvious yet ill-defined. Like its cousin informal learning, self-directed learning (SDL) is greatly desired by some organizations and barely noticed by others. But make no mistake: The smarter and speedier the world gets, the more you'll wish that your learners had some of that self-directed mojo.
"Global competition is ramping up, and everything is changing almost before you can develop training related to what used to be the new knowledge," says Lucy Guglielmino, professor of adult education at Florida Atlantic University, which has campuses in Boca Raton, Davie, Fort Lauderdale, Jupiter and Port St. Lucie. "Only the learning organizations will survive, and you can't have a learning organization without self-directed learners."
Guglielmino's name is familiar to those who want learning driven by employee initiative as well as corporate mandate. Guglielmino and her husband Paul have conducted research and authored articles about SDL for decades. In 1977, drawing on the work of Malcolm Knowles, Allen Tough, and other thinkers in this area, Guglielmino created a handy tool called the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (SDLRS). The scale tests for the presence or absence of characteristics shared by self-directed learners—creativity, independence, a positive attitude toward challenges and change, for instance—and evaluates whether someone is ready to take responsibility for their own learning.
The scale can predict whether learners are ready to motivate themselves to learn in unsupervised or unstructured ways, such as a self-paced online module. But it turns out the scale can predict for other qualities as well—like high performance, for example. "In some major studies in large organizations, the individuals who came out as highly self-directed on the SDLRS also were high performers," Guglielmino says. "The link was even stronger in jobs that had a high degree of change and that required more creativity and more problem-solving." That's a link that even organizations not interested in self-directed learning might find pretty compelling.

Is there anything better than sitting in while it's raining, curled up with a good book, a slice of cake, and a warm cup of tea? Well, you could throw a visit from a good friend into the mix as well. This cake looks amazing!

I don't know where you live in California, but here in the Bay Area we had unbelievable rain, wind, and even hail. I never saw anything like that in the 8 years I have lived in this area. It is still raining now. I didn't bake but made hot chocolate instead.
I am not sure why but I never tried pears and chocolate together, something I am sure is delicious. Thanks for the idea.
Stay dry! - January 20, 2010 at 6:37 AM

Hi Elra! I live in Marin, 20 minutes north of SF. I used to live in Portola Valley for a year, Ladera to be precise, off Alpine Rd. exit. What a great place to live. We also have lots of trees so it sounds really bad with the wind. It is better today, but I am bracing for more storms as it rains heavily in Marin.

I made the cake, Elra! Delicious!!!!!!! One question - how much sugar goes into this cake? I think you inadvertently left out the sugar measurement. I put in 3/4 cup and it was great.
- January 26, 2010 at 3:15 PM
- Elra said...
Oh my goodness Irene, thank you so much. I am so glad that I still keep my note in the kitchen, I actually only put ½ cup of sugar, because my family doesn't really like overly sweet chocolate cake. They kind of like it if its a little bitter. I think ¾ cup will be perfect for most people. Thank you so much for your correction Irene. I am also glad that you made it.
- January 26, 2010 at 7:40 PM

Thanks for looking it up! Seriously, this cake was awesome (and I don't even like chocolate!). I'm already scheming when to make this again! :)

"Great comment idea! I keep a daily gratitude journal of five things that I'm grateful for each day and it really helps keep my mood up.
Today's list of things I'm grateful for: 1. The many beautiful sunrises of late. 2. That it's Friday! 3. That my job's challenges have evened out to a manageable, but still stimulating, level. 4. That I have another month to finish knitting my grandmother's birthday scarf. 5. That I have a loving husband to go home to after a long workday."
I love your idea Katie, I've decided to start a gratitude journal on Thanksgiving Day. My goal is to write one sentence per day for a year. Thank you for the motivation and for all of your wonderful comments, we all have so much to be thankful for!
I am also excited and thankful that I finished Rosamund's Cardigan with two days to spare! You still have today and tomorrow to finish, get those fingers flying!

Lawmakers were divided Sunday on whether to support President Barack Obama's call for military action in Syria.
Obama announced Saturday he believes the United States should take limited action, but he pledged to seek approval from Congress first.
Supporters of a military strike said Sunday the U.S. must send a message to Syria and other countries that the use of chemical weapons will not be tolerated. Opponents argued the U.S. should pursue more diplomatic channels rather than position itself in yet another overseas military conflict.
The split does not simply fall along with party lines. Some lawmakers support the president's decision to come to Congress, while others are bothered he did not act more quickly. Others who are undecided said they want to see a clear plan of action for taking out Bashar Al-Assad, while some are more likely to be on board if the president can build a broader coalition.
The White House is already working to present its case to lawmakers. Members of Congress will get a classified briefing on Syria Sunday afternoon, and Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham -- two powerful Republicans on the Armed Services Committee--are headed to the White House on Monday.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who announced Sunday the U.S. has evidence that sarin gas was used in Syria, said on CNN he's confident Congress "will do the right thing."
Republican Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia stressed Sunday that partisan gridlock has nothing to with the division over what to do with Syria.
"Party does not have anything to do with this," he said on CNN's "State of the Union." "I really believe that. Maybe that's some American idealism coming out of me, but I've not heard one member of my Republican conference mention anything about partisanship here."
That sentiment was evident Sunday as a number of lawmakers gave varying reasons for their decision to support or oppose action in Syria.
Rep. Adam Smith, a top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, was skeptical that launching strikes against Assad's regime would do anything to deter him or anyone else from using chemical weapons in the future. He pointed to the death of Saddam Hussein as an example.
"If this is going to send a signal to dictators that you can't do that, here we are not too many years later (after Hussein's ouster) and Assad is using chemical weapons," he said on CNN. While the arguments for action in Syria are "compelling," Smith would not commit to a "yes" or "no" vote.
His fellow Democrat, Rep. Eliot Engel of New York, said he would readily vote "yes" if the vote were held today, saying "the whole world is watching."
"My God, we're the United States of America, and we have to stand for something," he told CNN's chief political analyst Gloria Borger. "If we're not going to stand up to a thug like Assad and say we're not going to let you gas your own people and commit war crimes, then who are we as a nation? I think we need to stand up and clearly say this is unacceptable."
McCain said he doesn't know how Congress will vote, nor does he know how he will vote until the White House presents a strategy to topple the Assad regime, rather than taking punitive steps.
Speaking to CBS' "Face the Nation" McCain said he and others "will be wanting a strategy, a plan, rather than just launching cruise missiles and that's it."
The 2008 GOP presidential nominee has been one of the leading voices in the Senate in favor of U.S. action in Syria. He said Obama has called him and Graham for a meeting at the White House Monday to talk about the situation.
"The best way is to eliminate the threat of Bashar Al-Assad's continued use of chemical weapons -- and, by the way, we know he's used them numerous times before - would be the threat of his removal from power," McCain said.
He disagrees with the notion that seeking congressional approval at this stage sends a strong message, saying the president could have taken action on his own earlier if he wanted to.
"But at the eleventh hour, when the strikes--leaks have been massive and unprecedented--are already planned, we know what ships are there, we know how many missiles...then a reversal at this point, I think, has serious consequences," he said, speaking of the risk of a possible "no" vote from Congress.
Kerry defended the president's decision to seek authorization from Congress before taking military action, saying the move will make the United States "stronger in the end" should the country decide to move forward with a strike.
"It's amazing to me to see people suddenly standing up and taking such affront at the notion that Congress ought to weigh in," he said on CNN. "I mean, I can hear the complaints that would have taken place if the president proceeded unilaterally and people say, 'Well why didn't you take the time to consult?'"
Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said he believes Congress "will rise to the occasion" and recognize the situation is a "national security issue."
"This isn't about Barack Obama versus the Congress. This isn't about Republicans against Democrats. This has a very important worldwide reach," the Michigan Republican said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Describing the evidence as "convincing," Rogers said "it is hard to walk away from the information that is on the table and not come to the conclusion that the Assad regime has used chemical weapons."
Some critics argue the president's decision to involve Congress shows a lack of leadership and that he's simply shifting the responsibility to the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. But Rogers said it's the constitutional role of Congress to provide for national defense.

Whether you are in the process of paying back student loans or just beginning to figure out how to pay for college, there is no question it is expensive. The average cost of attending a four-year UW system school, including tuition, fees, room and board and books totals around $17,500 a year. The number of loans students have taken out over the past decade has tripled, and now account for more than a trillion dollars former students must repay. WUWM's LaToya Dennis has learned about one specific factor that adds to the cost of a college education - students graduating with more credits than needed.
It has been more than two weeks since a Cudahy man entered the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in Oak Creek and shot and killed six congregants who had gathered for Sunday services. Wade Michael Page also injured four people before killing himself.
Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele's office confirms that Sue Black is no longer Milwaukee County Parks Director. No reason has yet been stated. Members of the Milwaukee County Board are not yet commenting, many saying they did not have advanced notice about Black's departure.
Dignitaries including Governor Walker tramped the grounds Monday of what is becoming home to the Milwaukee Water Council.The gathering officially launched the renovation of a seven-story warehouse in the Walker's Point neighborhood.

I loved this curtain before I bought it, and now that I have it up, I love it even more! I've gotten a ton of compliments!
RachelLos Angeles, CA1/10/2013
This shower curtain really gives our bathroom character. People always comment on it. It's high quality, although I haven't figured out how to wash it yet without ruining the print.
KrissieBoston, MA1/2/2013
I bought this for my husband for father's day as he is a big sea monster fan. He loved it and it looks really great in our small bathroom. The price tag was high but I think it is a quality product. It came in a cute fabric bag that had the same print on it. I might make it into a throw pillow.
AnastasiaPalmyra, NJ8/8/2012
It's fantastic! I get a ton of complements!
JenniferStinson Beach, CA7/2/2012
This is such a fun shower curtain for my children's bathroom. They love the octopus design and I love the clean lines and modern look.

Suitable from Birth
The Tiny Love Gymini Total Playground Kick & Play Activity Gym is the ultimate environment for baby-activated development, discovery & delight. A self-contained activity gym designed to further baby's physical, sensory and emotional development.
When in the prone position, the Gymini Total Playground Kick & Play Activity Gym encourages baby to lift her neck and shoulders while gazing at her reflection in the extra-large mirror or the illustrations on the border, strengthening her neck and shoulder girdle.
The Gymini Total Playground Kick & Play Activity Gym offers a truly multi-sensory play experience, with the variety of sounds and images on the blanket and hanging toys, along with varied sensory stimulation provided by the different fabrics, textures and shapes.
My 2 week old loves it, she loves all the different colours and textures and its very easy to pack away when its not in use
My 5 month granddaughter loves this product. It certainly stimulates movement and attention.
This gym is amazing, our son is enthralled by it. He spends a lot of time lying on it playing with the toys that hang down. The kick pad is great too!
I spent quite a bit of time researching various play-gyms before purchasing this one and I haven't been disappointed. It's very easy to assemble and also folds away easily for storage. The mat itself is larger than most and will grow with baby. It is also machine washable which is a great plus. As soon as I put my 3 week old down on the mat he was intrigued by the mirror and kept putting his hands up towards the toys. I think we will get plenty of use out of this over the months to come.
Very entertaining for babies. Mat cano also be made bigger for when baby gets bigger. My little one loves kicking about on this mat, particularly the dangling chimes and rattles.

sooooo am i the only one that thought meat cleaver wasn't very good, and all the snippets were trash?

i haven't listened to the snippets. i think Krocadil is better than meat cleaver, just wish the beat didn't get that loud during the chorus so it was a little more coherent

When it comes to large tech companies and how they've fared with social networking, one could argue that Microsoft is the most successful.
Google has struggled to build viable homegrown social networks, Yahoo has largely done little of note, AOL purchased Bebo for $850m only to drive it into the ground, etc.
Microsoft's claim to success in the social space? A $240m investment in Facebook in 2007 which valued the social network at $15bn.

The resignation/termination of now-formerly new Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson amid a resume scandal was an embarrassing moment for the once-great internet giant.
For most companies, such a collosal blunder would represent a faux pas of the highest order, but that's not the case for Yahoo, it's just one more in a long line of mistakes.
Here are the ten biggest mistakes the company has made...

When Scott Thompson decided to leave his post as President of PayPal to join Yahoo as CEO, it reportedly came as a shock to eBay CEO John Donahoe.
And it was a surprising move according to some industry observers.
After all, Thompson was ditching Ebay's fastest growing division to join a company that has been in decline.
It's a decision Thompson may regret for a long time.

Facebook employees and investors are set to cash in when the world's largest social network goes public later this month, but life at a public company isn't always easy.
Just ask the executives at Nokia and Yahoo.

Yahoo may be putting 50 of its properties on the chopping block as new CEO Scott Thompson looks to make the once-dominant internet portal a little leaner and more nimble, but apparently small businesses are important enough to Yahoo that it will create new products.
Today, Yahoo did just that by launching an online dashboard designed specifically for small businesses.

Yahoo's fall from grace is well documented, with its once dominant position in the search industry undermined by years of mismanagement.
New CEO Scott Thompson has a major task on his hands reversing the company's declining fortunes, with his plans currently focused on boosting ad revenues and forging a closer alliance with Microsoft.

That didn't take long. Just two weeks after Microsoft announced that it had purchased a major collection of patents from AOL for $1bn, Microsoft has turned around and sold 650 patents to Facebook, which is being sued by Yahoo for patent infringment.
Microsoft will retain a license to the patents, and as part of the $550m deal, Facebook will also receive licenses for AOL patents that Microsoft did not offer up for sale.

Doing the right thing long-term isn't always easy for companies. Just ask Alibaba.com, China's ecommerce giant.
Last quarter, the company made some strategic changes to its business model, and focused in on improving the quality of its marketplace. The result: slower growth which, combined with higher expenses, contributed to a 25% drop in net profit.

The patent wars continue.
Just weeks after AOL CEO Tim Armstrong was quoted as referring to AOL's 800-plus patent portfolio as "beachfront property in East Hampton" and reports surfaced that the company was shopping the collection, AOL sealed a deal with Microsoft worth just over $1bn.

With the adoption of new ad formats and further penetration of tablets, the growth of paid search is on the up. According to IgnitionOne's new online report on Global Online Advertising, the first quarter of 2012 showed a 30.3% year on year growth in search advertising.
The comprehensive report outlines some of the biggest areas of growth in this area including targeted paid search spend, Yahoo/ Bing market share and an increase of mobile search activity, especially from tablets.
