Croatia Turns to Deficit, Recession Fight as EU Approval Nears
The Croatian government will slash the budget below its target and attract more investment to pull the nation out of a recession as it enters the final phase of joining the European Union, Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor said.
After the European Commission's June 10 recommendation to wrap up talks and aim for July 2013 entry, Kosor said her Cabinet will reduce the size of the administration and may offer more financial incentives to lure businesses from abroad.
"I'm certain this is the year Croatia will get on the firm path of recovery," Kosor, 57, said in a June 13 interview in her office in the capital, Zagreb. "By concluding the talks, we have definitely put the hardest, most complicated job behind us."
Croatia is poised to become the second former Yugoslav republic to join the world's largest trading bloc after Slovenia, giving investors more confidence to boost industry and tourism in the Adriatic Sea country. If approved by the 27 current members, Croatia would lengthen the EU's reach into the Balkans region following the bloody civil wars of the 1990s.
The benchmark Crobex stock index is up 6.9 percent since the beginning of the year, the sixth-best performer in Europe, according to Bloomberg data. It fell to 2256.99 yesterday, down 0.63 percent from the previous close.
Kosor is focusing on modernizing Croatia's communist-era buildings, streets and utilities after the economy contracted every year since 2008 following average growth after of 4.6 percent between 2000 and 2007. The economy may expand 1.5 percent this year, the premier said.
'New Wind'
Croatia, which seeks to attract 14 billion euros ($20 billion) in investments for infrastructure projects alone, will experience a "new wind" of foreign direct investment, which dropped last year to one-third of 2009 inflows, she said.
A trained lawyer, Kosor rose to the position after former Premier Ivo Sanader left office without explanation in July 2009. After becoming prime minister, Kosor began an anti-corruption drive that opened hundreds of cases and eventually led to Sanader's arrest on suspicion of abuse of power and corruption.
Kosor is planning a campaign to gain approval for a referendum on EU entry that must be held within 30 days of signing the accession treaty, planned in December. About 62 percent of citizens support membership, according to a Nov. 6 poll by IPSOS Puls d.d., commissioned by the Foreign Ministry.
'No Viable Option'
"I'm convinced that people will vote in favor of EU entry in the referendum, because Croatia really has no other viable option," she said. "Most people understand that cuts in public spending are necessary, that otherwise we cannot move forward economically."
The government has forecast a budget shortfall of 4.2 percent of GDP this year. Cost-cutting plans include closing some of the roughly 500 local administrative units and adjusting collective bargaining agreements, Kosor said.
"We can't have collective bargaining contracts that promise to deliver the same pay regardless of whether the economy is growing or contracting," Kosor said. "We in Croatia need to work more."
Unemployment reached 18.2 percent in April and Croatia has one of the lowest labor-force participation rates in Europe, just at 50 percent, according to the International Labour Organization in Geneva. By joining the EU in 2013, Croatia would gain access to at least 750 million euros of EU funds channeled into public-works projects.
The EU will want safeguards and see progress in Croatia's fight to cut corruption, which Kosor says she welcomes.
'Can't Be Reversed'
"Monitoring is a chance to strengthen our reforms, and for the citizens to see that time can't be turned back," Kosor said. "The fight against corruption can't be reversed. Nothing will ever be the same."
Kosor faces general elections in the fall. The date will be set after the formal conclusion of EU talks, probably later this month. According to an IPSOS Puls pre-election poll on May 25, the ruling Croatian Democratic Union has 22 percent support, compared with the left-leaning Alliance for Change, led by the Social Democrats, which has 38 percent.
"The continuing corruption investigations and trials will be a huge burden, but I still hope for success. Only the strong parties are capable of cleaning their own house," she said.

This was an opportunity to photograph some amazingly dynamic gigs, something I've never experienced...but I know I want to do it again. These were all taken from behind the rail in the pit, front left (facing stage).

Danielle Ate the Sandwich looking for extras to appear in her new video for "Faith In a Man"
See Also: • Danielle Anderson isn't easy to forget • Meet Danielle Ate the Sandwich
Last year, singer-songwriter Danielle Ate the Sandwich (aka Danielle Anderson) teamed up with Nick Celentano and Ryan Anthony Martin, the guys behind Synthetic PictureHaus, to make the music video for "Where the Good Ones Go." Next week, she'll be working with them again on her video for "Faith in a Man." They're hoping to round up at least thirty extras for a bar scene set in the 1930s, in whichAnderson seeks the help of a mob boss to rob a bar and bail her husband out of jail.
"In the video, I play a woman who puts faith in a man," says Anderson. "He screwed me over. This man was a mob boss or a man of crime. So I do one last job for him and then I'm getting out of the business. And the last job is to rob this bar for all of its money."
The scene is being filmed in Golden from 1 to 6 p.m.; anyone interested in being an extra can RSVP here. "We basically need them to stand around and pretend like they're drinking alcohol, or actually be drinking alcohol if they want," Anderson says.

As for her forthcoming album, Anderson says her band helped make the album cooler than her last release, 2010's Two Bedroom Apartment.
"Without, like, putting myself down, I think it just sounds a little younger in a way. I think a lot of my music is really bright and dreamy and whimsical, but this feels heavier and has more weight. It's dark sometimes and bright other times. I'm still playing ukulele and writing songs about kind of fruity things.
"To me, it feels more grown-up, but as it's more grown-up, I feel like younger people will like it. And by younger, I mean twenty- to thirty-year-olds, which I feel my music kind of skips sometimes. Either eighteen and younger like it or 45 and up like it. I have a spit demographic -- you never know who's going to like it. But I feel like it sticks with my age group a little better than my previous album."

In uphill battle for GOP nomination, Huckabee to spend 3 days in state
After a sweeping setback in Tuesday's East Coast primaries, Republican Mike Huckabee sets his sights tonight on the battle for Wisconsin.
But with John McCain edging closer to the nomination, and Huckabee essentially needing to run the table the rest of the way, some state GOP leaders say Huckabee is ignoring an obvious message: The war is over.
"It's just a matter of time before McCain gets to 1,200 delegates," said U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Janesville. "Huckabee would have to win something like 93 percent of the rest of the delegates, which is virtually impossible.
"The sooner Huckabee realizes that, the better off the party will be."
Undaunted by the uphill math, and hoping to tap into dissatisfaction with McCain among some conservative voters, Huckabee will spend the next three days in Wisconsin.
The former Arkansas governor will hold a 7 p.m. rally today at the Country Springs Hotel in Waukesha, followed by stops Thursday in Madison, La Crosse, Wausau and Green Bay. On Friday, he'll be in Milwaukee.
"What we've seen in the other primary states is people vote for the candidate they most identify with," said Tim Michels, Huckabee's state campaign chairman. "I believe (Wisconsin voters will) vote for the most conservative candidate on Tuesday."
McCain will join the fray Friday, when the Arizona senator is to make stops in Oshkosh, La Crosse and Milwaukee.
A new poll of state voters showed McCain leading Huckabee, 45% to 27%. The poll, by the firm Strategic Vision, found another 7% backing U.S. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, with 21% undecided.
The poll of 800 likely voters, taken Friday through Sunday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, though that number would be higher for individual questions.
The results of next week's primary in Wisconsin might underscore some of the issues McCain faces as the party's presumptive nominee.
With former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney out of the race, McCain has been able to focus on reaching out to dissatisfied conservatives. But with Romney out, that means dissatisfied conservatives can put their votes behind one person: Huckabee.
However, Tuesday, Huckabee lost all three GOP contests to McCain.
What remains of the GOP campaign shifts, at least for a week, to Wisconsin.
Boost from open primary?
In a twist, Wisconsin's open primary could provide a boost to Huckabee - even though it has long been considered a boon for McCain, who has a proven appeal to independent voters.
In other states, independent voters have largely split between McCain and Democrat Barack Obama. But with McCain seen as having all but sealed the nomination, and Obama locked in a close battle with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, more independents here might be pulled to the Democratic side.
That could tamp down McCain's vote totals, boosting Huckabee's prospects.
"If I was trying to see inside his campaign, that would be my bet for what they're thinking they can pull out here," said McGee Young, an assistant professor of political science at Marquette University.
McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said the McCain campaign is well-positioned here: "Voters in Wisconsin know John McCain and know he's a straight talker. They know he's someone prepared to lead from Day One."
Focusing on 2 issues
While Huckabee won some states over the weekend, McCain has continued to line up the support of the Republican Party's power structure, with all attesting to his conservative credentials.
In Wisconsin, former Gov. Tommy G. Thompson, who dropped out of the presidential derby in August, is now backing McCain. He might campaign with McCain here, but that was uncertain as of Tuesday, Rogers said.
Mark Jefferson, executive director of the state GOP, said McCain has an edge here. However, he noted, some of McCain's critics are not thrilled with Huckabee. Some, for instance, have cited Huckabee's record on taxes as governor of Arkansas.
"For Huckabee, it's an opportunity to try to get his message out and to be able to focus on one state at a time," Jefferson said.
Huckabee has said he will stay in the race until someone secures enough delegates to win the nomination. He has noted that a split convention is possible (Romney still has a share of delegates), or there could be a McCain stumble.
At a Tuesday breakfast in Washington, D.C., Huckabee said that while in Wisconsin he plans to contrast his position on "pro-life issues" and campaign finance laws with those of McCain.
Huckabee called Wisconsin a "strong pro-life state among Republican voters" and focused on two issues.
One is the federal Human Life Amendment, which Huckabee supports but McCain does not. The other is federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research, which McCain has supported and Huckabee opposes.
Huckabee also noted that McCain's collaborator on the major 2002 rewrite of the campaign finance laws is Wisconsin Democrat Russ Feingold.
"That's a point of separation for us," Huckabee said. "I think it has done more to deform rather than reform the electoral process."
In recent days, there was speculation that Huckabee - who has shown the greatest strength in his native South - would focus on Texas, which votes March 4.
Based on a comment from Ed Rollins, Huckabee's top strategist, that is a luxury the campaign cannot afford.
"We've just got to go everywhere at this point in time," Rollins said. "We've got to go chase every delegate."
Craig Gilbert of the Journal Sentinel staff contributed to this report.

WATCH: The 12 Gayest Holiday Spectaculars Ever!
For some of us, the overly sincere tone of the holidays gets a bit much. That's when we turn to YouTube. For each of the 12 days of Christmas, let's serve up holiday camp and irony.
12. Judy Garland Christmas Special (1963)
Come back here if ever the holiday snark starts making you feel too bitchy. This is the gold standard. Judy, Liza, Lorna, and Joey all get in on the act. Jack Jones and Mel Tormé help with needed smarm. Plus, we've found the full hourlong version. This is pretty awesome — if you can take off your bitter goggles.
11. Home for Christmas, Dolly Parton (1990)
Nothing says the birth of Jesus like giant breasts and huge hair. Dolly is flawless here, but who knew 1990 was so '80s? What a wealth of embellished prairie dresses. And Dolly's hair is not the biggest on the show; take a look at the amazing blowbacks on her male band members.
10. RuPaul's Christmas Ball (1993)
A more intentional camp indeed, and the participants here are worth the show — Here TV diva Sherry Vine, Boy George, La Toya Jackson, Elton John, Taylor Dayne, Belinda Carlisle, Little Richard, En Vogue and ... hold on to your wig ... Nirvana.
9. Andy Williams Christmas With Donny Osmond, the Osmonds, and the Williams Brothers (Various dates)
A sweater orgy. Seriously. Like going to Uncle Charlie's North in Manhattan on a fall night in 1977. You've never seen so many crewnecks over button-downs. And the teeth! Dear God, the teeth. Make it stop!
8. Lady Gaga & Elton John — Artpop (The Muppets' Holiday Spectacular, 2013)
OK, is it just us? Or is Mother Monster gently poking his royal highness Elton by wearing 92 wigs at once? You be the judge — we're all worn out.
7. Christmas With Liberace: Christmas Carols, Friends and Family (1954)
Wait, what? How did this get in here? Liberace's not gay, is he? I mean, he said he wasn't gay. Crosses the line from camp to maudlin in the first 30 seconds.
6. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" — As Sung by Ethel Merman
You stop-animation freaks would storm the barricades we keep around the offices if we didn't include one of these Rankin and Bass-like things. You're just lucky the Merm is singing here.
5. The Lawrence Welk Christmas Show (1966)
Here's a party game: Take a drink, turn this on, see how many drinks you need to keep slamming just to endure it all. This is a Christmas show only for really hard-core camp followers. If you are not on John Waters's Christmas card list, you probably can't hang on long.
(A note for after you've finished: How far did you get? What's your blood-alcohol level? Lucky for you, we have the spiritual insulin for the above clip. Simply click on this link and the room will stop spinning. Also, please pull over if you are driving.)
4. Cher, Sonny, Chaz, Bernadette Peters, and Captain Kangaroo (waiting for return call from Chaz with date)
Bernadette Peters on a bad night. Captain Kangaroo is slaying her. Consider dolman sleeves for your next holiday hostess gown.
3. Pee-wee's Playhouse Christmas Special (1988)
Pee-wee Herman was at the height of his little-boy-trapped-in-a-man's-body powers — just look at the cast list: Annette Funicello, Frankie Avalon, Grace Jones, k.d. lang, Dinah Shore, Little Richard, Cher, the Del Rubio Triplettes, Magic Johnson, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, Joan Rivers, Charo, Laurence Fishburne, and sexy John Paragon (as Jambi!).
2. The Dangerous Christmas of Little Red Riding Hood (1965)
This one took some deep research. We hope you appreciate the hours we had to spend chatting up that man at the end of the bar at Don't Tell Mama while he pawed us and talked about "the good old days of musical theater." Here we have discovered Liza Minnelli is a manic Red Riding Hood, and Cyril Ritchard (Captain Hook in Peter Pan) is the wolf/grandma. Ritchard makes Noël Coward look butch. And, here's the kicker: Eric Burdon and the Animals played the wolf's cohorts. Vic Damone played the woodsman/prince. Here's the whole soundtrack if you're that kind of gay.
1. The Mitzi Gaynor Christmas Show (1966)
Mitzi Gaynor performs gay songwriter Jerry Herman's "We Need a Little Christmas" from the musical Mame. Why is this number one? Mitzi is campy without being grotesque. She is overly animated without taking Lypsinka's food out of her mouth. We love this song. We would wear that outfit. And we are writing this list.

Metro Briefing | New York: Manhattan: Dismissal Of Schoolteacher Affirmed
By Stacy Albin (NYT); Compiled by Anthony Ramirez
Published: July 18, 2003
A city schoolteacher who was also a member of the North American Man-Boy Love Association, or Nambla, was justifiably dismissed, despite a claim of an abridgment of his First Amendment rights, a federal appeals court panel ruled. In a decision made public yesterday, the panel ruled that Peter Melzer, a teacher at the Bronx High School of Science for more than 30 years, was justifiably dismissed by the Board of Education in 2000. Parents threatened to withdraw their children from school after Mr. Melzer's membership in Nambla -- which advocates sexual relations between men and adolescents -- was reported by a local television station, WNBC. The panel said Mr. Melzer's right to free association was constitutionally protected but the disruption of his membership was ''great enough to warrant the school's action.'' Mr. Melzer's lawyer, Eugene Nathanson, called the decision ''dangerous'' to government employees. Stacy Albin (NYT)

In this question I figured out how to disable the
Lock feature in Windows XP throught the registry. Just by creating a DWORD key named
DisableLockWorkstation with value 1 in:
But in this solution, the current user can also re-enable this feature in the same way (by setting the value of
DisableLockWorkstation to 0 or even deleting it).
I know there is ACLs for registry and it is possible to restrict the user access and deny write access to this path. But I am searching for a simpler solution.
Is there any other solution to disable lock feature (for example by setting a value in HKLM instead of HKCU hive)?

sorry guys, but I just can't get behind ORB right now. So, now that I sold out again, you guys are assured of a gain from here, right? #$%$ luck to ORB longs.
Sentiment: Hold
Let's see... The test on Friday night was a success,so that should not hurt the stock. ORB still has a way to go, but the answer is now at least within sight. They have done all the testing to insure that the rocket will launch. In the next six weeks, we will see if the fairings question will be resolved when they attempt the risk reduction launch. Frankly, this is what has dogged ORB for years. In 2009 as the stock price seemed to be recovering the darn things did not open and the stock has been in the tank ever since. From a technical perspective, namely The Three Amigo indicator, I am still at a buy, so it seems like a good sale , Clam! Did you get hit hard by the storm a few weeks back?
Sentiment: Buy
Probably a reasonable decision. The shares have a lot of resistance to break through still and the overall market does not seem particularly receptive to helping that process along for many companies.
Hi Tom... Like you I have been curious to the reasons for the selloff after the earnings release. I am of the opinion that the concern over the sequestration has put a damper on ORB. I think they built in a good portion of that into their forecast. That coupled with the hot fire test delay probably caused the stock to selloff. I was a bit surprised when Thompson actually made reference to shareholder interests at the last CC. With the caveat that all went well with the Antares, he stated that shareholder value should increase as the year went on... I still think that is true.

BELFOREST, Ala. (AP) - Alabama State Troopers say a 47-year-old Baldwin County bicyclist has been killed after being struck by a car.
Troopers said Clifford "Teeny Man" Williams was struck as he rode along Baldwin County 64 near his home.
Relatives said they had cautioned Williams to get more reflectors for his bicycle because of his bike riding at all hours, but he never did.
Coroner Jim Small said it appears the driver who hit Williams never did see him.
Small said Williams was wearing camouflage clothing as he rode about 8 p.m. Thursday.
Authorities identified the driver as 52-year-old Rodney Burroughs of Silverhill.
State Trooper spokesman Cpl. Joe Piggott said no charges have been filed.

Animal control officials say a white alligator seen resting at a subdivision along Florida's Atlantic coast is not a rare albino alligator.
Rather, the 300-pound, 10-foot-long adult alligator, gets its color from a coating of white minerals from untreated water pouring out of an artesian well that empties into the lake it swims in.
Officials say the coating is on the animal's thick skin and isn't a threat to its health.
An official says the alligator lacks a distinguishing trait of a true albino alligator: pink eyes.

Panel May Consider Cairn-Vedanta Deal This Week
NEW DELHI --A panel of India's cabinet is expected to discuss this week London-listed miner Vedanta Resources PLC's proposal to buy a majority stake in Cairn Energy PLC's India unit, said Oil Minister Jaipal Reddy.
The Indian government has refrained from giving its approval to the deal, announced last August, over tax and royalty payment issues related to Cairn India's main oil producing block in the northwestern state of Rajasthan.
A ministerial panel in end-May recommended the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approve the proposed deal, provided Cairn agrees on an even sharing of the royalty on production from the Rajasthan block and withdraw arbitration proceedings on tax payments.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
At first I wasn't especially excited about too much in DC's February solicitations. However, the more I looked around, the more optimistic I became. Six months into the New 52, some connections are starting to gel, and their interactions (well, as far as what you can glean from the ad copy) seem more organic. As always, there were a few pleasant surprises in the collected editions, and some details from which to spin hopeful speculation.
But enough with the purple prose — let's hit the books!
The gee-whizziest news of the February solicitations has to be the digital-first format of Batman Beyond Unlimited. I have not been the quickest to adapt to digitally-conveyed comics, mostly because my personal technology level hasn't caught up. However, I do read a number of webcomics, as well as newspaper strips online, and if the price were right, I'd gladly sample BBU's features on my computer before picking up the print version. Having Dustin Nguyen and (yay!) Norm Breyfogle involved doesn't hurt either.

PonderosaThis project will build sidewalk, curb and gutter, and storm drainage improvements in the Ponderosa neighborhood. This project will coordinate with the existing sidewalk project on Markland and Wedgefield. What's happened? The Ponderosa NIP construction project and lanscaping project are complete and are in the warranty phase.
This project will provide various infrastructure improvements (sidewalk, curb & gutter, drainage, etc.) in the Ponderosa neighborhood. The project's boundaries are West Boulevard, a Norfolk-Southern RR line, Seymour Drive and the rear property lines of parcels on the east side of Kenhill Drive. In the voter-approved 2006 bonds, $400,000 was included for Planning & Design for the Ponderosa neighborhood project. In November 2008, voters approved another bond package which contained $1,900,000 to be used to construct the Ponderosa NIP project. This project also involves coordination with storm drainage projects.Details:

Hi, I need to add multiple Buy Now PayPal buttons to a page, and each one needs a checkbox that reads "I accept the terms and conditions," and this is a required checkbox.
I did try this, FYI, with not good results. How do I accomplish this? I am not a programmer, I know just enough to get by.

A woman was killed on a Taranaki highway after someone
"stupidly" blocked a lane by intentionally placing barriers
across the road, police say.
Hawera woman Christine Anne Fairweather, 57, was struck by a
vehicle in the southbound lane of State Highway 3 at Normanby
on Saturday night.
Police said it was believed she had stopped her car and
turned on the hazard lights after encountering metal fencing
frames on road.
The frames, which were in place around cable work on the
footpath, had been intentionally moved from the footpath and
placed across the highway.
Mrs Fairweather was attempting to move the frames when she
was struck by a northbound vehicle about 11.50pm.
Emergency services attended but she died at the scene.
Detective Guy Jackson of Taranaki CIB said: "Mrs Fairweather
was being a good Samaritan and went to move the frames which
had stupidly been put in the middle of a major highway.
"However, due to the atrocious weather and heavy rain, a
northbound vehicle has struck her. The driver of this vehicle
is understandably traumatised from the crash and we are
continuing to speak to them."
Police were seeking witnesses who may have seen the barriers
placed across the road.
"We are continuing to make inquiries and speak to witnesses
and we want to speak to anyone who either stopped at the
scene at the time of the crash or who may have seen the
barriers being placed on the road," Mr Jackson said.
"If anyone saw any suspicious behaviour or something just out
of the ordinary in the area, please contact police.
"I also want to take this opportunity to encourage those who
put the barriers on the road to do the right thing and come

With a swipe of the smartphone, loyalty punch cards becoming obsolete
Stinchfield said that newer smartphone technology won't help a stingy program. And not everyone thinks the smartphone will be embraced as the new loyalty device. It has the potential to know a lot more about its users than an online card, causing some consumers to fear being overmarketed.
Paula Berge of Woodbury, Minn., said her smartphone pinged when she was in a Walgreens recently because she's a Walgreens Balance Rewards member. She wasn't impressed by the text. "It was the same deal they had on a sign in the store. I was hoping for something I didn't already know about," she said.
Michalek said Caribou is taking steps to be careful about non-reward emails or texts so customers don't feel bombarded. "We let guests pick their level of engagement."
But sometimes technology itself is a deterrent. Wilson, 21, has had trouble using his smartphone to collect loyalty points at some businesses. "Either the app won't open or the scanning doesn't work. I prefer the card," he said.
Experts say smartphone-based loyalty programs will work out the kinks and offer a lot more than an online card or punch card and offer customized rewards faster. With a mobile loyalty program a merchant can shift the incentive to a new product that needs traction and buzz, Reppe said. "A smartphone lets a business make the leap from 'come on in and buy anything' to 'buy this specific thing because we sent you a reward.' "
Caribou is working now to switch to a smartphone app, Michalek said. "Our guests want to get away from a plastic card. They lose it and then they don't like calling out their phone number to access their account."
With smartphones and apps, there will be more offers and more rewards, which has the potential to be good for businesses and consumers. Businesses want to break the long-term accrual process too. They want loyalty programs that are stickier, where people use up the rewards more quickly, according to Reppe.
While many businesses feel pressure to offer a loyalty program, Reppe said every business shouldn't feel obligated to have one. "Three out of five companies that have intense customer loyalty have no loyalty program," he said. "A loyalty program can be extremely powerful, but you often get greater loyalty just delivering an awesome customer experience."

A strategy for dramatically slashing the Defense Department's lengthy processes for approving mobile capabilities may represent a fresh approach at the Pentagon. It can take nine months to a year to green-light new mobile devices, applications and operating systems under the current system, a process that all too often renders the technology obsolete by the time it is ready to be deployed. Now, plans are in the works that could eventually slash that amount of time down to 30 days.
"We're trying to find ways to do things faster, more securely, cheaper and jumping the productivity curve," said Maj. Gen. Robert Wheeler, DOD deputy CIO for command, control, communications, computers and Information Infrastructure. "Whether it's in Washington, D.C., the edge of the battlefield or onto the battlefield, that's the challenge for us... to access what you need at any point in the world."
Wheeler, speaking April 30 at the Mobile Work Exchange town hall meeting in Washington, said the vision requires DOD leadership to think and make decisions differently about deploying technology, whether it is to troops in the field or civilian personnel across the country. Officials also are partnering with other agencies, including the National Institute for Standards and Technology, to make sure the accelerated process is done correctly, without introducing new risks, amid a race against time that is the frenetic pace of IT development.
"Our objective here is to run it within 30 days. That's going to require us to look at things a little differently and we think we have at least straw man of how we're going to get there," he said. "We're trying to work very quickly with NIST...they understand that if we do not work quickly together as a team, we're going to get behind not only [commercial technology], but we'll end up with all types of problems with security and updating at a cost to DOD."
In the various components of DOD – and within the federal government writ large – the shift toward a fast-tracked approval process would be welcome news as managers struggle to supply workers with up-to-date technology critical to their agency's mission.
"We have said from very beginning that we're taking way too long to get devices onto approved lists, or to get applications or anything like that," said Lt. Col. Anmy Torres, chief of cyber plans, transport, and sustainment at the Air National Guard. "There are so many organizations with apps they've developed to meet needs that all need to be in this [approved] environment. A 30-day process would help us keep up with demand and still be in the window we can use them, since some [technologies] are so short-lived."
The push for accelerated processes fits in with a wider theme at DOD, where the department's mobile device strategy and implementation plan, released last June and in February respectively, emphasize the need to maximize potential benefits of mobility.
According to Wheeler, that emphasis paves the way for DOD eventually to release between one and 10 new mobile devices per year, as well as between one and six new operating system updates per year and 18,000 app approvals per quarter. But for now, he indicated that one of his top priorities is the 30-day approval process.
"It's going to take us a while to get where we need to go, but the bottom line is 30 days," Wheeler said. "We can't afford anything [longer] than 30 days, because this really makes a difference in the field, in taking care of business and in being able to do more with less."

Its technically not that hard... and burecratically its possible to if they only push more for reciprocity and re-use of already produced responses. Most packages start from zero, and even though content is copy-pasted into a new document, you still have to do the entire process fresh each time. Instead, they need to leverage the baseline more. If you have iPad v3 and iOS 5 approved, then iPad v4 and iOS 6 shouldn't be that big of a deal. And in the specific case of iOS (since its so closed and you can't realistically remain behind), they need to do as NSA advised -- update immediately (within hours to days) whenever a new iOS is released.

Our most esteemed living playwright adapts the most famous love story ever written in the screenplay for the new Focus Features film Anna Karenina, directed by Joe Wright, starring Keira Knightley and Jude Law.
Tolstoy's brilliant novel, tracing the tragic love affair between Count Vronsky and the unhappily married Anna, has moved readers for generations. Now, award-winning playwright Tom Stoppard re-imagines what Vladimir Nabokov called "one of the greatest love stories in world literature" for the screen. In an impeccable match of talent between source and adaptation, Stoppard projects Tolstoy's powerful contrasts between city and country, love and death, happiness and unhappiness. The result is beautiful, stirring, and at once old and new. A special introduction by Stoppard offers a glimpse into the process behind his remarkable interpretation.

SQM Surges as Rival Uralkali Seen Raising Prices
Soc. Quimica y Minera de Chile SA, Chile's largest fertilizer producer, jumped the most in four months on speculation it will raise potash prices amid signs competitor OAO Uralkali plans increases for Brazil and China.
Shares of the company also known as SQM jumped 8 percent to 15,011 pesos at the close in Santiago, its biggest surge since Sept. 9. The stock reached its highest since Oct. 3. SQM was the best performer today on Chile's benchmark IPSA index, which rose 1 percent.
"SQM is rising as its potash products generally command a premium to the potash Uralkali sells," Leonor Skewes, an equity analyst at BICE Inversiones, said by phone from Santiago. "Investors are speculating that the prices will be confirmed."
Berezniki, Russia-based Uralkali is seeking to raise prices in Brazil for granular potash available in March by $40 per ton to $350, according to research published yesterday by Fertecon. The company is also looking to increase the price of potash it sells to Chinese customers to $330 per ton, according to separate research from Argus FMB Potash earlier this week. The prices are not final, the reports said.

"It shouldn't be much further to the armory."
"Lets hope your right Jedi. Right now there aren't any infected in range but that could change any moment.
His HUD began to flash again and he sighed as one of the infected crew members ran around a bend in the corridor and Atora instantly dropped him with a shot to the head.
"Making a choice is the only freedom anyone really has. He knows that we came to bring him but he doesn't wish to go. We can't force him. That would make us kidnappers and I definitely know that the Jedi don't believe in that."
Alriana stared after him, she was tempted to run after him and simply grab him and drag him back to the council by force. But she knew that Tavaryn was right: The jedi were not kidnappers.
"So what do we do now? It seems we have failed our mission."

Deep space
Rejira Beroc looked out at the endless night of space as his crew continued to repair his battle worn star destroyer. The ship had been damamged at the battle of Huntaru station and was still being repaired.
He looked out to the left and observed what remained of the imperial fleet. Most of the ships were damaged but only or two were severly damaged. The rest would be repaired by the end of the week.
It's good that Admiral Velerc disappeared. He was unfit, unworthy of commanding the Imperial fleet. I only wish he hadn't gone after Belina at Huntaru, I would have many more ships to work with.
His thoughts were interupted by his chiss first officer walking up behind him.
"You have news?"
"Yes Admiral. It appears that the test was succesful. In additon it looks like we managed to somehow infect one of the Republic's star destroyers."
He turned toward the officer and nodded to him, a rare smile was on his face. "A minor victory...but an important one nontheless. You have done well. I want you to find the location of the Star Destroyer and then take the
Death's Head
to it's location. You are dismissed."
