FONDA, N.Y. - The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office says a train derailment has shut down a ten-mile stretch of Route 5 in the town of Mohawk on Thursday.
The Sheriff's Office is investigating after they say 30 cars fell off the train rail around 8 a.m. spilling cargo including lumber, soil, and rice into the road.
Investigators say two trains were headed in opposite directions on the track causing the derailment when they sideswiped each other. A total of 100 train cars made up the two trains.
There were two minor injuries reported in the accident, an engineer and a conductor who were both
Officials say it could take up to a week to get the track reopened. Route 5 is expected to be closed down for another day or two.
Amtrak service from Buffalo to Albany has been disrupted due to the accident. Amtrak says they'll be taking passengers by bus while the cleanup continues. Visit Amtrak.com/alerts to see trips that are affected.
Montgomery County Sheriff Michael Amato says there were some initial concerns but no hazardous materials were found.
"Whenever you have a train derailment, you worry about what's on the train and we tried to get to the manifest as soon as we can to find out what kind of chemicals could be on the train and where they're located on the train," Sheriff Amato explains. "That was an issue in the beginning. We were trying to locate those cars that had that chemical to see if they were still in an upright position. In the meantime, we went door to door telling people to stay in their houses and stay away from that area."
Emergency Crews from the Sheriff's Office, GAVAC Ambulance, Mohawk Fire Department, Montgomery County Emergency Management and HAZMAT were on scene Thursday.
Traffic is being rerouted on Route 5 between State Highway 334 in Mohawk and Route 10 in the town of Palatine. Motorists are asked to avoid the area.

WebMD Special Report: Autism - Searching for Answers
This article is from the WebMD News Archive
Dad in Autism-Vaccine Case Speaks Out
Vaccine Safety: What Can Parents Do?
His advice for parents?
Poling says they should demand to know a vaccine's safety record before agreeing to give it to their child, including any known links with metabolic disorders and susceptibility to injury from the vaccine.
Coming to Terms With Autism
Although Poling has an MD and a PhD and is trained as a neurologist, he admits it was very difficult to come to terms with his daughter's diagnosis. In his neurology practice in Georgia, some of his patients are children with autism, so he is very familiar with the condition. His wife, Terry, is both a nurse and an attorney.
Even so, he says, they had some trouble initially getting doctors to take their concerns seriously. When Hannah exhibited symptoms after a series of five immunizations including nine vaccines, doctors initially passed them off as nothing serious. But as the symptoms didn't abate and in fact got worse, as parents, the Polings knew something was wrong.
"After six months of essentially our daughter being a zombie and gone, we knew this wasn't going away," he says. "This was chronic. And we had to come to grips with that."
In the beginning, it wasn't easy, he says. "We had denial," he admits. She had previously been treated for middle ear infections. "When Hannah got sick, we thought, 'Her ears are clogged. That is why she is not responding.'"
As he heard from other parents dealing with the same diagnosis, the initial denial, followed by difficulty in accepting the reality, was a common thread, Poling found.

WASHINGTON • When it comes to the nation's budget challenges, congressional leaders are fond of saying dismissively they don't want to kick the can down the road.
But now, a deadline hard ahead, even derided half-measures are uncertain as President Barack Obama and lawmakers struggle to avert across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts that comprise an economy-threatening fiscal cliff.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Congressional officials said Wednesday they knew of no significant strides toward a compromise over a long Christmas weekend, and no negotiations have been set.
The Senate is due in session Thursday, although the immediate agenda includes legislation setting the rules for government surveillance of suspected spies and terrorists abroad, including Americans, as well as a measure providing $60 billion for victims of Super Storm Sandy.
Obama decided to cut short his Hawaii vacation for an overnight flight expected to get him back to the White House in the pre-dawn hours of Thursday.
After weeks of negotiations, the president urged lawmakers late last week to scale back their ambitions and send him legislation preventing tax cuts on all but the highest-earning Americans and extending unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless. Longer, term, he said he still supports deficit cuts that were key to the earlier talks.
"Everybody's got to give a little bit in a sensible way," he said at the White House.
The House has no plans to convene, following last week's rebellion in which conservatives torpedoed Speaker John Boehner's legislation to prevent scheduled tax increases on most, while letting them take effect on million-dollar wage earners.
"How we get there, God only knows," the Ohio Republican said of efforts to protect the economy — and taxpayers — from the tax increases and spending cuts.
"Now is the time to show leadership, not kick the can down the road," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said a little over a week ago after Boehner announced he would shift his own focus from bipartisan talks to the approach that eventually was torpedoed by his own rank and file.
It's a phrase that political leaders use when they want to suggest others want to avoid tackling major problems, and one that Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and even Obama as well as Reid have used.
"We have a spending problem. We have to address it, And we're not going to address it by kicking the can down the road," the speaker said at a news conference late last week when he was asked about setting a vote on a plan that Democrats find acceptable.
Cantor recently used the same approach in challenging Obama to agree to savings from Medicare and other benefit programs. "This has to be a part of this agreement or else we just continue to dig the hole deeper, asking folks to allow us to kick the can down the road further and that we don't want to do," he said on Nov. 28.
In fact, it's a phrase that has been in use for over a year as Obama and Republicans jockey for position on pocketbook issues.
In July, 2011, when he was struggling with Republicans over the threat of a first-ever government default, Obama said he had "heard reports that there may be some in Congress who want to do just enough to make sure that America avoids defaulting on our debt in the short term. But then wants to kick the can down the road when it comes to solving the larger problem, our deficit."
A few months later, an extension of a payroll tax cut was the issue, and Boehner was insisting on a year-long renewal rather than the temporary plan that passed the Senate with votes from lawmakers in both parties.
"How can you do tax policy for two months?" he asked on Dec. 18, 2011. "I believe that two months is just kicking the can down the road.
"The American people are tired of that."
At issue now is series of tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to kick in with the new year that economists caution could send the economy into a recession.Next Page >

Dairy Today's Dollars & Sense producer contributors tell it like it is on their dairies.
By Donald Van Hofwegen
Van Hofwegen and his wife, Ingrid, milk 2,700 Holsteins in Stanfield, Ariz.
There is plenty going on in the area of dairy policy and politics. National Milk Producers Federation is introducing different production management programs for the farm bill. Foundation for the Future is being introduced. The idea of a production management program is not something that I am in favor of. I don't believe the government is capable of regulation in our industry. It needs to be up to us as good businessmen to continue to look for better and more efficient ways to be successful.

Don't be ashamed if you've never heard of Coffin Joe. After all, he's a Brazilian lunatic who hasn't been seen since 1967.
Following 1964's At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul and its sequel Tonight I'll Possess Your Corpse, sick puppy José Mojica Marins has resurrected his ghoulish creation for another round of sado-masochistic silliness.
Imagine the inbred cousin of Freddy Krueger and occult nutcase Aleister Crowley and you've got Coffin Joe, a rapist, torturer, murderer and outrageous drama queen... who could do with some decent nail scissors.
Freed from prison after 40 years, Joe is greeted by his halfwitted hunch-man Bruno and a bunch of devoted groupies who are all desperate to help him find a suitable mother for his unborn child.
But pity the poor lamb, for he is plagued by visions of his previous victims. This dampens his ardour but makes him overact terribly, like Brian Blessed with his iPod on too loud.
Anyway, his lair is soon neck-deep in gore. You see, Joe reckons he occupies the spiritual space that exists above God and below Satan, and thus finds fault with every woman he claps eyes and irons on.
At least that's his explanation, because otherwise this might be construed as an excuse for a dirty old filmmaker to indulge his misogynistic fantasies while getting his hands on as much nubile young flesh as possible.
One woman is made to eat her own bum. Another is tied down, covered in melted cheese and has a starving rat introduced to her genitals.
But they're just sideshows to Joe's meat-and-potatoes business of decapitation, dismemberment, branding, scalping, flaying, gouging, bludgeoning and the odd bout of cannibalism.
With a script of pure gibberish stitching the pieces together, it's as though Ed Wood Jr, Clive Barker and Hieronymous Bosch had too much absinthe one night and decided to make a home movie.
Bloody. Ludicrous.

Fargo police are questioning a man who was apparently hallucinating when he called to report there were people with guns in his south side home.
Officers surrounded a home on the 300 block of 24th street south just after 7:30 Wednesday morning.
They blocked off several intersections, had guns pointed at the home and were warning neighbors to stay in their homes.
Eventually the man's roommates came home and were able to help police figure out the report of someone with a gun was false.
Fargo Police blocked off a south Fargo neighborhood Wednesday morning after a report of an incident with a man making threats with a gun.
The initial call came in just after 7 am.
Police set up a perimeter and had guns pointed at the house in the neighborhood of 3rd avenue and 24th street south in Fargo.
Officers say they are taking the situation very seriously, since there are a lot of children walking in the neighborhood on their way to school.

Minotaur Books
The last time Jersey Barnes tried to quit her career as a security specialist and leave home without a weapon, she ended up in the middle of a high-stakes cover-up and a scheme to steal millions from hardworking Americans. This time her early retirement is for real. Friends threw her a party to prove it. There was a cake and everything.
But out of the blue, her former handler shows up with other ideas. When Jersey tells him she doesn't want an assignment---even if does come with an upfront hazard-pay bonus---he reminds her of a clause in the contract she signed back when she was first recruited to work for the government: a pesky paragraph that says she can be recalled into service at any time.
With boating and golfing plans on hold yet again, Jersey straps on her weapon of choice and goes undercover to help root out a terrorist threat---only to learn that another more sinister plot is in the works. And things aren't any more relaxing at home, either. Just as she starts to explore a steamy relationship with her hunky pub manager, Ox, his ex-wife flies in from California to reclaim him.
Southern Poison moves at breakneck speed as Jersey must save herself from an assassin, stop an evil chemist, keep her troublemaking father and his poker buddies out of jail, untangle a steamy romance, and maybe---just maybe---retire.
On the heels of the lauded Southern Fatality, readers will welcome another hilarious, suspenseful, and sun-soaked adventure from the unforgettable Jersey Barnes.
"Jersey Barnes and her quirky family and friends make for a page-turning mix of suspense and fun. Read Southern Poison and you'll rocket between breath-holding adventure and belly laughs."---Cathy Pickens, author of Hush My Mouth and the Southern Fried mysteries
Praise for Southern Fatality:
"Ocean reinforces her reputation for creating strong Southern heroines with this sexy, fast-paced adventure, the first in a new series to feature Jersey Barnes.... Ocean's tightly woven, fast-moving plot keeps readers entertained right up to the explosive ending."---Publishers Weekly
"Highly satisfactory escapist entertainment."---Wilmington Star-News (North Carolina)
"T. Lynn Ocean is the South's answer to Janet Evanovich. Hang on. Southern Fatality is a wild, witty, and sexy ride that never lets up."---Karin Gillespie, author of the Bottom Dollar Girl series
"Hours of fun."---The Sun News (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina)
"Ocean puts the D in dangerous."---John Hart, New York Times bestselling author of Down River
"Southern Fatality reads like a string of firecrackers---one bang after another. The action is nonstop and the tone is smart and sassy."---Carolyn Haines, author of Fever Moon

Deadlines for Proposals for 2017-18 Content [PDF - 103 KB]
The original pooled-sample weight created for the following laboratory files released in July 2013 did not accurately take into account the new sample design for this NHANES survey cycle and it was not correctly stratified to the U.S. population total. The new released files contain the corrected sample weight (WTSMSMPA).The corrected sample weight was created so that analyses using race and Hispanic origin would be comparable to the three groups used in NHANES 2005-2006 (non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black and Mexican-American). Therefore, analyses of the data for "Total Hispanics" is not appropriate. No changes or corrections were made to the lab analyte data in this new release. Any analyses of the data using the old public use data file should be repeated using the corrected sample weight on this new file.

5 Relative Strength Trades Flashing Buy
Cytec Industries
Last up is Cytec Industries (CYT), a relative strength performer that's forming another textbook ascending triangle pattern right now. For Cytec, the breakout comes on a move above $70 resistance.
$70 isn't just significant because it's the resistance level that this stock has obeyed since September -- it's also the 52-week high for this stock. Making new highs is significant from an investor psychology standpoint because it means that everyone who has bought shares in the last year is sitting on gains -- as a result, the "back to even" mentality is less of a concern than it would be for a name with a higher proportion of shareholders sitting on losses. That should help to accelerate breakout gains when buyers absorb that excess supply of shares at $70.

What if human waste, what's left after our bodies extract energy-producing nutrients from our food and usa cialis drink, could itself be transformed into energy? Four African teenagers went beyond asking this question: they created a generator powered by human urine. The machine, built by 14-year-olds Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, Faleke Oluwatoyin, and 15-year-old Bello Eniola,was presented in Lagos, Nigeria at the buy cialis generic fourth annual Maker Faire Africa this November. The pan-African Maker Faire features and supports inventions that work to address problems like the worldwide need for energy production.
According to the Maker Faire Africa website, the machine turns 1 liter of urine into 6 hours of electricity and works like this: urine goes into an electrolytic cell, which extracts the hydrogen from the pee (specifically from the urea, one of the main compounds of urine). This hydrogen is purified in a water filter, and then pushed into a gas cylinder. There, the gas cylinder pushes the hydrogen into a liquid borax cylinder, where moisture is removed from the hydrogen gas. Finally, the purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the where to find viagra generator to power it.
As with all new inventions in alternative energy, this generator isn't a panacea for our global energy problems. NBC's John Roach offers a "reality check" concerning the pee-powered generator, pointing out that the Maker Faire Africa website does not list the wattage produced, so we don't know just how much the generator could power. While Roach's article tempers excitement about the pee generator, it does point to where this technology could be used effectively: wastewater treatment facilities where the pee already flows, ready to be put to use.
Perhaps machines like these could eventually become features of viagra online switzerland wastewater treatment facilities. Such a resourceful new invention that turns waste into electricity could turn wastewater treatment facilities into places where wastewater is not only treated, but where pee turns into power.

1) Four youths from Africa did this, what other really innovative ideas do they have in store for us
2) Utilizing something no one would consider a resource, but now maybe it is pfizer cialis canada
3) That it can be done! So getting more watts etc is a matter of refining isn't it?
4) Even it is used to only power lights at venues where volumes of pee might be available, sports
I applaud these young creators!

Maybe some skepticism wouldn't be completely out of line, you know. Or some physics classes perhaps.
written by Sarah, January 29, 2013
According to the chemical engineer who invented the urea electrolysis process, this technology could prove useful in wastewater treatment facilities since the facilities are already consuming energy.

I have no problems with the waste water treatment aspect. It is their power generation claim that is bogus. They are trying to need viagra sell us on a perpetual motion machine. And like Doubter pointed out - "6 hours of electricity" isn't a measure of energy.

It would be nicer if we knew the exact wattage amount. As "6 hours of energy" really does not tell me much of levitra online cheap anything... at all.

Human waste is cheapest cialis without prescription an energy source that will be available for as long as
there are humans . In addition to http://spionline.com.au/purchase-cialis-soft-tabs thathe source being availab;e it will
also be a source of substance that finding means to dispose of will also

This idea has room for advancement. Picture a sewage plant doubling as a means to generate energy.

Is Word of Mouth Marketing For B2B Companies?
March 21st, 2013
Our agency is a proud member of the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA). If you haven't heard of WOMMA, I recommend you take a look at their website, and browse some of the content they have developed. (In case you missed that, you've just been WOM'd.)
All kidding aside, word of mouth marketing is one of the most effective communications vehicles of all time. Don't believe me? When was the last time you heard a rave review about a new product from a friend, family member, spouse, colleague or acquaintance, and didn't at least Google the name to take a look? That is the power of WOM in action.
While it isn't new news that word of mouth recommendations are effective (here is some research if you need proof), a recent video from one of our favorite beers, Heineken, got me thinking. Many of us think of Heineken as just a brand of beer. But, a recently developed video showed a whole new side of that brand, the people and their personality. The video centers on a fun search for an intern from a pool of more than 1,700 applicants.
Did you click on that link? I'll bet you did. While that click-through may not immediately make you feel you've been marketed to, think about what you wanted to do immediately after watching it. Did you IM it to a few co-workers and friends? Maybe even post it to Facebook or Google+? If so, the video is serving its purpose. Even though you weren't sending something that directly tied to the beer itself, passing on Heineken content is essentially the equivalent of recommending the beer itself to your peers. You have just helped make their WOM campaign effective. Are you thirsty for a Heineken now? I know I am!
While consumer brands have no problem seeing the benefits from word of mouth marketing campaigns, B2B organizations struggle more with quantifying the ROI. This isn't because word of mouth marketing can't have a positive impact for those in B2B. It's more about the longer selling cycle than that of consumer brands. B2B technologies are far more complex (you aren't just buying a pack of gum or shampoo) and the sales process involves many more stakeholders.
So, how can B2B organizations use word of mouth marketing techniques and campaigns? We only need to look to back to the Heineken example for something all B2B companies can capitalize on – tell your company's story.
Many B2B companies often place a tremendous amount of focus on telling their product story and often far less on telling the company story. This is a huge opportunity missed. Telling a company story isn't just for vanity. In fact, if done in a creative way, it can lead to greater brand awareness and a better understanding of the company and its people, thus making it more memorable, approachable and engaging. In the end, B2B word of mouth marketing campaigns around a company's story further implants the brand in peoples' minds, giving you a greater chance of being considered in the next sales cycle. While ROI requires a longer time in this scenario, it does often positively impact the sales funnel.
McGrath/Power has seen the power of WOM first hand for both our B2B and B2C clients. Two examples, respectively, include the SMART Storage Systems NAND Band campaign (website, Twitter, YouTube) and Burgerville's BV-TV campaign, because we were able to move beyond the product to show a new side of the company and the faces behind the brand name and products. Both initiatives spurred discussion at the industry and customer levels, ultimately gaining the client additional mindshare and traction in new conversations. What more can you ask for?

Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, speaks to reporters at the Capitol in Washington, Monday, Dec. 12, 2011.(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House returns Tuesday for a session certain to be driven by election-year politics and fierce fights over the size and scope of government.
The holidays and three weeks away from the Capitol have tempered some of the Republican anger over the showdown over the Social Security tax cut and the year-end political debacle. But emotions are still raw for several GOP lawmakers. Their grievances likely will be aired at a House GOP retreat in Baltimore this week.
Republicans who lifted the GOP to the House majority in the 2010 elections emerged from their first year frustrated by the limitations of divided government.
They remain doubtful about accomplishing anything more in 2012 beyond the must-do spending bills and a year-long extension of the Social Security tax cuts and unemployment benefits.

Lineup lacks cohesion in loss to the Penguins
When he left Villanova, Isaiah Armwood had opportunities to play for teams in the ACC. Opting instead for George Washington, the Montrose Christian graduate chose a school close to home where he could be a star.
On Saturday, Armwood had a solid opening act but also realized the downside of joining a team in transition as GW struggled with cohesion in an 80-73 loss to Youngstown State before 2,198 at Smith Center.
Blending six new players with seven holdovers will be a process of trial and error for coach Mike Lonergan. Against Youngstown State of the Horizon League, inspired GW shot to a 28-23 lead. But the Penguins shifted to a 2-3 zone that the Colonials never solved. GW shot 40 percent from the floor and had 14 turnovers.
"We came out ready to play," GW coach Mike Lonergan said. "They were smart. They have a good coach [Jerry Slocum]. They went to a zone, and the numbers speak for themselves. Our shooting was off. We had some really bad turnovers. They just kept us from scoring."
Armwood (18 points, five rebounds) and freshman Patricio Garino (13 points, seven rebounds) played well in their Smith Center debuts. The Colonials didn't fare as well in the backcourt, however, as freshman Joe McDonald, junior Lasan Kromah and senior Bryan Bynes shot a combined 6-for-23 and committed seven turnovers.
"I though Joe played hard. He played pretty good [defense]," Lonergan said of his point guard. "But he had some costly turnovers."
An example of the Colonials' lack of synchronization came with 28 seconds left and GW trailing 74-71. McDonald threw a pass on the wing to Nemanja Mikic, whose head was turned. The play illustrated the Colonials' frustrations over the final 40 seconds, in which they were outscored 9-2.
Youngstown State was propelled in the first half by freshman Bobby Hain (19 points, 11 rebounds), who came off the bench to hit seven of nine shots. In the final 10 minutes, senior guard Blake Allen (19 points) drilled a trio of 3-pointers in the final 10 minutes and four free throws in the last 25 seconds.

Whole Foods gets brutalized
Shares off sharply for upscale grocer on earnings news. Should you stay away?
"We believe our sales have stabilized and officially turned the corner." That was the word from Whole Foods Market (WFMI) chief executive John Mackey about Wednesday's quarterly earnings results.
Profit jumped to $28.7 million, or 20 cents a share, from $1.5 million, or a penny a share, a year ago. Sales also rose, climbing 2.3% to $1.83 billion.
Same-store sales fell 2.3% compared to a drop of 0.5% in the same period last year.
To be certain, same-store sales declines aren't new to Whole Foods. The company has grappled with sharp sales declines over the past several quarters. But like Mackey said in today's earnings statement, he now thinks the company has turned the corner.
Unfortunately, traders didn't see it that way in the after-hours. The stock was brutalized in after-hours trade, gapping down more than 8% right after earnings came out.
Interestingly, news of this pending selloff was already all over the financial blogosphere, thanks to my friend Jon Najarian and his OptionsMonster service.
Jon's OptionMonster's tracking systems detected large purchasing activity in November 31 puts for $1.60, and the sale of November 27 puts for $0.42, and November 37 calls for $0.40. The trade was executed on 7,836 contracts, and the options volume was well above open interest.
Obviously, many players consider WFMI shares overcooked, and I suspect it was almost a self-fulfilling prophecy to see the shares gap down on anything less than a blowout earnings report. And while Whole Foods earnings weren't bad, they weren't exactly a big upside surprise.
In my opinion, I think the selling here in the shares could be a good opportunity to pick up some WFMI stock at an attractive price. But if you do buy WFMI here, be careful. Make sure you set a stop loss no more than 10% below your purchase price.
If the options players are right, you'll have limited downside. But if they're wrong, you could be getting whole lot of bang for your buck in WFMI.
At the time of this writing, Jim Woods did not own shares of WFMI.

WOOD RIVER JCT.—Starting a program is never easy.
Six games into the 2013 boys lacrosse season the Chariho boys lacrosse team has found out just how hard it can be as the Chargers dropped a 17-5 decision to Coventry Thursday, their sixth loss by seven goals or greater.
The learning curve has been a steep one for the first-year program but as any team that has established itself will tell you, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Perhaps no team knows that better than the Chargers' opponent Wednesday.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN—Most days when a team shoots a 159 on the golf course it's enough to get at least one win.
Most days.
Monday at Laurel Lanes Golf Course South Kingstown – behind a one-under-par 34 from senior McKinley Slade – shot a 159 but it wasn't enough as it suffered losses to both Prout (157) and Chariho (156).
"We played well as a team," Slade said. "I personally played pretty well today. I played just solid the whole time and I know 159 is usually a pretty good score.
"Today the course isn't playing that hard so it's understandable but what are you going to do?"
WEST WARWICK — The East Greenwich boys volleyball team didn't bring it in the opening game and was blown out by West Warwick.
The Wizards made the same mistake as the Avengers in three of the next four games and found itself in the same position.
After losing the first game because they simply couldn't pass the ball to setter Jesse Brown, the Avengers took advantage of a litany of West Warwick mistakes to take the next two games. The Wizards dominated the fourth game, but more mistakes cropped up in the fifth game of a 15-25, 25-16, 25-23, 15-25, 15-12 EG Division II-South victory.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, April 2, 2004 — Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Sun Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW) today announced that they have entered into a broad technology collaboration arrangement to enable their products to work better together and to settle all pending litigation between the two companies. The companies have also entered into agreements on patents and other issues.
"This agreement launches a new relationship between Sun and Microsoft -- a significant step forward that allows for cooperation while preserving customer choice," said Scott McNealy, chairman and CEO, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "This agreement will be of significant benefit to both Sun and Microsoft customers. It will stimulate new products, delivering great new choices for customers who want to combine server products from multiple vendors and achieve seamless computing in a heterogeneous computing environment. We look forward to this opportunity -- it provides a framework for cooperation between Sun and Microsoft going forward."
"Our companies will continue to compete hard, but this agreement creates a new basis for cooperation that will benefit the customers of both companies," said Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer, Microsoft. "This agreement recognizes that cutting edge R & D and intellectual property protection are the foundation for the growth and success of our industry. This is a positive step forward for both Sun and Microsoft, but the real winners are the customers and developers who rely on our products and innovations."
The agreements involve payments of $700 million to Sun by Microsoft to resolve pending antitrust issues and $900 million to resolve patent issues. In addition, Sun and Microsoft have agreed to pay royalties for use of each other's technology, with Microsoft making an up-front payment of $350 million and Sun making payments when this technology is incorporated into its server products.
The agreements signed today include the following elements:
Technical Collaboration: The Technical Collaboration Agreement will provide both companies with access to aspects of each other's server-based technology and will enable them to use this information to develop new server software products that will work better together. The cooperation will initially center on Windows Server and Windows Client, but will eventually include other important areas, including email and database software. For example, one of the important elements of large scale computing environments is software to manage user identities, authentication and authorization. As a result of this agreement, Sun and Microsoft engineers will cooperate to allow identity information to be easily shared between Microsoft Active Directory and the Sun Java System Identity Server, resulting in less complex and more secure computing environments.
Microsoft Communications Protocol Program: Sun has agreed to sign a license for the Windows desktop operating system communications protocols under Microsoft's Communications Protocol Program, established pursuant to Microsoft's consent decree and final judgment with the U.S. Department of Justice and 18 state attorneys general.
Microsoft Support for Java: The companies have agreed that Microsoft may continue to provide product support for the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine that customers have deployed in Microsoft's products.
Windows Certification for Sun Server: Sun and Microsoft today are announcing Windows certification for Sun's Xeon servers. In addition, the Windows certification process for Sun's Opteron-based servers is moving forward.
Future Collaboration for Java and .NET: Sun and Microsoft have agreed that they will work together to improve technical collaboration between their Java and .NET technologies.
Patents and Intellectual Property: The parties have agreed to a broad covenant not to sue with respect to all past patent infringement claims they may have against each other. The agreement also provides for potential future extensions of this type of covenant. The two companies have also agreed to embark on negotiations for a patent cross-license agreement between them.
Legal Settlements: The two companies are settling and terminating their lawsuit in the United States. Sun is also satisfied that the agreements announced today satisfy the objectives it was pursuing in the EU actions pending against Microsoft.

This gets a 6-Fair. Besides the recycled jokes from the movie, the other main thing that bothers me about the attraction is the horse chase scene, in which pneumatic controls on your seat give the sensation of galloping. Too bad those pneumatics are extremely loud, and not to mention jerky, making a relatively new attraction seem old and cheap.
That said, you'll just have to wait to see if (okay, who am I fooling?) where PhilharMagic makes the field. :-)
I will give credit to the preshow and Donkey's Photo Finish which is very interactive and funny!
There's not really anything too unique about the attraction apart from it's moving seats, which as Josh mentioned are extremely jerky.
I bought Shrek 3-D on DVD, which is essentially the 4-D attraction you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home. I'd much rather put that in the DVD player every now and again than wait in line for the attraction, especially when you consider just how long the line can get.

Yes indeed, iPhones and other smart-phones can be hacked.
I was looking for a story where the ssh daemon was running with a standard password on iPhones with hacked firmware (http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1561466/iphone-plagued-rick-astley), but also found http://mashable.com/2009/07/30/iphone-hack/ , which is just as bad.
As other people say, an account secured by a stand-alone authenticator is impossibly hard to hack, as hackers need to know your account name and password and a short-lived 6-digit code as well - the code on its own would probably not be sufficient with roughly 10 million players world-wide.
Even if you know someones' account details, with an authenticator chances you get in are only about 1 in a million (a little more to allow for time-skew as was explained in an earlier message). I wonder how many attempts you can brute-force in 30s?
But even with an authenticator you should take basic account security seriously. If your account name or password are the same as the name of one of your characters for example, you make it that much easier for a hacker to get in. You have to realise they aren't hacking "your" account specifically, they just try to get in "any" account working with the information they have. You bet they have a dictionary of level 80 character names to work with.
Earlier up-thread it was mentioned that some accounts got hacked during maintenance; That is actually an intriguing claim! A hacker can't do anything with your account during maintenance, so he can't take your gold or sell your gear either. So either we're talking about a very short window of opportunity just as maintenance starts or ends - more time for brute-force attacking token-numbers would probably be sufficient reason to prefer maintenance to hack accounts, and there's less chance the owner is logged in just before or after maintenance - or there's someone on the inside. I'm pretty sure Blizzard is aware of the latter possibility though, they're probably keeping a close eye on anyone with access during maintenance.
There are some other channels through which a hacker might "get in" with all the web-services Blizzard provides outside the game, to manage your account you need to prove that you are the legitimate owner of the account though - I think the worst someone can do to your account by hacking into a web-service is to mess up your calendar.

Sorry Target! Here's How Amazon Won My Cyber Monday Money
Steve is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Perhaps against our better judgement, my wife and I decided to brave the craziness that is Black Friday this year. Of the items we bought that day, we were most excited about one in particular - a $99 children's tablet from Target (NYSE: TGT) for which we could buy e-book and educational game cartridges. In addition to the tablet, we also purchased two cartridges "on sale" for $15 each, for a grand total of $129.
Think of the potential! If my children were to play with an electronic device, they may as well be learning something useful in the process. Over time, as they grew tired of the existing applications, we could buy additional cartridges for a mere $15 to $25.
The weekend came and went as we proceeded to bask in our self-declared parental genius. With our shopping done and Cyber Monday winding down, I decided to visit Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) to buy the latest episode of Supernatural from the the Amazon Instant Video Store.
Amazon: 1, Target: 0
When Amazon's front page loaded, it greeted me with the now-infamous $129 Kindle Fire deal. For the same price I paid for the smaller education tablet, I could buy the larger, more flexible Kindle Fire. Then, as though prophetically overcoming my objections, Amazon touted its new Kindle FreeTime interface for kids and displayed a customized list of available children's applications based on our past toy purchases.
Within minutes, Amazon had turned Target's Black Friday brick-and-mortar sale into its own Cyber Monday revenue.
One could argue this is an exceptional case, comparing an inferior educational tablet to a more comprehensive solution in the Kindle. In the end, that's beside the point; Amazon's personalized shopping experience is unrivaled, and these kinds of sales are the single biggest threat to brick and mortar retailers.
If you can't beat them...abandon them?
My experience is even more ironic considering both Target and Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) decided to stop selling Amazon's Kindle in their stores just a few months ago. Shortly after Target's announcement, Fellow Fool Rick Aristotle Munarriz even speculated electronics specialist Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) could send a strong message by following suit.
On one hand, Target and Wal-Mart were certainly right to recognize the Kindle's ability to act as a Trojan Horse and cannibalize their in-store sales. On the other, if either company had been able to find a way to play nice like Best Buy, they might have secured my Black Friday dollars - even at a higher price point. In any case, Amazon wins.
That said, I still believe Target and Wal-Mart are great stocks in their own right and serve their markets with ruthless efficiency. Sure, Amazon is riding the growing online trend and might seem like retail's 800 pound gorilla right now, but its sky-high valuation reflects that optimism and leaves some investors worrying it may not be a safe bet at current levels. Even so, Amazon remains one of the world's most promising companies and my "Outperform" CAPScall for its shares will stay open for the foreseeable future.

Jamaica has successfully passed its first review of a debt restructuring program under the International Monetary Fund, the institution said Monday.
"Overall program implementation," said Nayouki Shinohara, IMF deputy managing director and acting chair of the board, "has been strong, despite the weak economic environment."
Earlier this year, a deeply indebted Jamaica was forced to call in the Washington-based financial institution for up to $958 million in loans to help turn around its sinking economy.
On Monday, IMF officials said that Jamaica's "continued commitment to the program objectives of strengthening Jamaica's fiscal position and creating the conditions for sustained economic growth will be critical to a revival of investor confidence and domestic demand in the period ahead."
Still, close monitoring is needed to ensure the country remains on a path to economic growth.
By passing the review, Jamaica will now be able to receive an additional $30.6 million under the program and support from other multilateral development partners.
