NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — House Speaker John Boehner on Saturday said he's ready to return to the bargaining table to avert the fiscal cliff, while President Barack Obama made no mention of the standoff in his weekly address.
With Obama traveling to Hawaii for his annual holiday break, Boehner said the president needs to be more flexible to reach an agreement.
Week ahead: Christmas and the cliff

"Of course, hope springs eternal, and I know we have it in use to come together and do the right thing," said the Ohio Republican, who delivered the party's weekly radio address. "Because of the political divide in the country, because of the divide here in Washington, trying to bridge these differences have been difficult. If it were easy, I guarantee you this would have been done decades before."
In his weekly speech, Obama thanked U.S. troops and their families for their service to the country. He also mentioned families affected by the massacre of 20 elementary-school children in Newtown, Conn.
Scaling back plans for a wide budget pact with Republicans, Obama on Friday presented a fresh proposal to extend tax cuts for most Americans and prevent some budget cuts. See related story about Obama's latest comments on the fiscal cliff.
The president also said Congress should extend jobless benefits for about 2 million people.
But the clock is still ticking with less than eight days left before mandatory tax hikes and spending cuts kick in. Lawmakers vowed to return to the bargaining table before the end of 2012.

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
A man pardoned by then-Gov. Haley Barbour is accused of shooting another man Thursday night in Calhoun County.
Calhoun County Sheriff Greg Pollan reports that an argument at a cookout about 8:30 p.m. Thursday is believed to have led to Wayne Therman Harris of Slate Springs allegedly shooting Chris McGonagill of Calhoun City.
McGonagill died about 1 a.m. Friday at Baptist Hospital in Oxford.
Harris received a full pardon from Barbour on conviction for the sale of marijuana, according to Pollan and state documents.
Pollan said Harris served his sentence and was out of jail before the pardon.
Harris received a full and unconditional pardon from Barbour on Jan. 10, 2012. Pollan said — and state documents show — Harris had completed his sentence for sale of marijuana when the pardon was issued.
State prison system records show Harris was sentenced in Calhoun County on Jan. 19, 2001, for the sale of marijuana to 20 years in prison, with five years suspended conditioned upon his completion of three years post release supervision. He was given an official release on Dec. 21, 2007.
Convicted felons typically are not allowed to possess firearms, but Pollan said that does not apply in Harris' case because of the full pardon he received from Barbour.
McGonagill's shooting took place about 3 miles south of Calhoun City on Highway 9 south.
"Harris was hit once in the leg and McGonagill was hit six times," Pollan told the Chickasaw Journal. "I can't give you a lot of information about this incident because we are still investigating exactly what happened."
Pollan said a .22 caliber rifle and a 9 mm pistol were used in the shooting. Pollan said the fatal incident occurred at a carpentry shop owned by McGonagill on Highway 9 south of Slate Springs.
Pollan said no charges had been filed as of noon Friday.
"We understand there were three other people at the scene at one time," said Pollan. "We are not looking for anyone else and at this point we don't think anyone else was involved."
Pollan said he did not know what sparked the shooting.
"We are working on a motive," said Pollan.
Barbour, a Republican, sparked an uproar when he pardoned nearly 200 people as his second term was ending in January 2012. The total included four convicted murderers and a robber who worked as inmate trusties at the Governor's Mansion. Crime victims' advocates and families across the state called for the pardons to be revoked.
Barbour has said he's at peace with the pardons because his Christian faith teaches about redemption.
"I believe in second chances and I try hard to be forgiving," Barbour said in an interview last year.
The Associated Press and Floyd Ingram with the Chickasaw Journal contributed to this report.

Landon Lerner - Judicial Extern for Hon. Dean D. Pregerson, United States District Court for the Central District of California
Working in the United States District Court has been among the best experiences I have ever had and it is surely one I will not soon forget. I feel privileged and humbled every day I walk into the courthouse as it gives me a sense of pride, honor, and responsibility.
Judge Pregerson is an amazing judge and moreover, a wonderful individual. He asks me insightful questions and always ensures that I am working on interesting and educational projects. He is approachable, unimposing, witty, and brilliant. Judge Pregerson is an absolute pleasure to work for.
I have learned more in my time as an extern than I ever imagined. I knew I would be exposed to several areas of the law. I did not and could not however, have known to what extent. I now have in depth knowledge and experience in several practice areas including, but not limited to, employment, patents, civil rights, contracts, personal injury, and criminal law. The eclectic mix of cases filed in the district court presents an opportunity to work in a different practice area each day.
There is no comparison between a regular law school class and working in the district court. Unlike a class, during which a professor tells me what to read and how to analyze a rule of law, each of my current assignments require me to analyze and research from start to finish without any assistance. On any given project, I read moving papers, check the parties' research and logic, conduct my own independent research, and write a recommendation for the judge. While the classroom setting is very insightful, it can never duplicate the significance and practicality of a real-world courtroom setting. Much of law school is theoretical rather than practical; working in the court provides an opportunity to put the skills I have learned to use.
Further, there is no substitute for learning the likes and dislikes of the people behind the scenes in the courtroom. I am now better prepared than I would have been because I have a better idea of how to effectively advocate a position while still being informative on the current law. Knowledge of the way in which courtroom documents are read by the staff is invaluable knowledge as well. Overall, this experience has prepared me to be a more productive and skilled lawyer in the future.
In addition to working behind the scenes researching and writing for Judge Pregerson, I watch the Judge in court as often as possible. Any time work permits, I observe courtroom proceedings. I have the opportunity to watch lawyers with all different levels of experience and I try to learn from all of them. Watching and studying Judge Pregerson, as well as practicing attorneys, is a fantastic and educational experience.
I have enjoyed working for Judge Pregerson and moreover, I feel better prepared to face the world as an attorney because of my experience with him. The opportunity to extern in the federal court will continue to help me in my legal career long after my externship is completed.

Sea Star Epidemic Plagues Oregon
Posted On June 23, 2014 by Carmen Yeung
Since June 2013, millions of sea stars along the West Coast have disintegrated and died. Scientists have relentlessly tried to identify the cause of the "sea star wasting syndrome." (See map of locations with outbreak.)
Typically, the first signs of an afflicted sea star are white lesions appearing on its body. Shortly thereafter, sea stars lose their limbs and their internal organs disintegrate. Although sea stars have the ability to regenerate limbs, the disease often progresses too quickly for them to recover. The exact cause of this disease is unknown. Scientists believe that sea star wasting syndrome may be due to a viral or bacterial infection, and could be exacerbated by increased water temperature. Populations of the ochre and sunflower sea stars, two common West Coast species, have been hit especially hard. Similar die-offs have occurred in the past, but never at the magnitude we see today, and over such a wide geographic area.

Bert Williams: Death of a Wolves legend
Tributes are pouring in from all over the world to Wolves, Walsall and England goalkeeping great Bert Williams MBE, who has died aged 93.
This afternoon, Wolves confirmed they would be holding a minute's applause before Saturday's home match against Bristol City, and say a celebration of his life will take place.
His family have requested a private funeral, but say plans for a memorial service at St Peter's Church are in the pipeline so he can be remembered by hundreds of fans.
The star, nicknamed 'The Cat' because of his extraordinary agility, passed away at Wolverhampton's New Cross Hospital, where he had been for a week, at 10.50am yesterday.
- 'He was the ultimate legend': Wolves keepers past and present pay tribute to Bert Williams
- Wolves' Jez Moxey and Steve Morgan pay tribute to Molineux hero Bert Williams
- 'Bert Williams was the best' says World Cup winner Gordon Banks
- 'I would never have had my career without Bert Williams' says former Wolves keeper Fred Davies
- Star comment: Mourning the passing of a footballing gentleman
He played 420 games for Wolves and won 24 caps for England. He was the country's oldest living international, with that mantle now passing to Sir Tom Finney, who will be 92 in April.
Bert's family today thanked the many well-wishers who had paid tribute to him. Son-in-law David Crawshaw said: "Bert slipped away peacefully surrounded by family. You couldn't have wished for a calmer way to go."
Players joined in with the tributes on Twitter
RIP Bert Williams.Best keeper to ever play for Wolves. Helped put the club on the map. A proper legend but more importantly a true gentlemen— Matt Murray (@MattMurray20) January 19, 2014
So sad to hear about the loss of Bert Williams. He was a fantastic gentlemen & True legend. Thoughts are with his family. RIP BERT— Wayne Hennessey (@WayneHennessey1) January 19, 2014
RIP Bert Williams what a sad loss, a privilege to have met him.— Jody Craddock (@MrJodyCraddock) January 19, 2014
Former Wolves goalkeeper Matt Murray led the tributes: "He was, without question, Wolves greatest goalkeeper and a top, top man. The word 'legend' gets bandied about too easily these days, but in Bert's case he was the ultimate legend."
Recently, Bert – who has a sports centre named after him in Bilston – fell victim to Alzheimer's, the disease which claimed his wife Evelyn in 2002. Following her death he helped raise £150,000 for the Alzheimer's Society. Those efforts contributed towards his MBE for services to football and charity in 2010.
Born in Bradley, Bilston, he began his career with Walsall in 1937 and made 28 appearances for the Saddlers.
World War II interupted his career but he signed for Wolves in 1945 – despite interest from Chelsea – and became one of their most illustrious players, forever associated with the halcyon days of Wolves' most successful years in the 1950s.
He played in the famous floodlit matches against Honved, Spartak and Moscow. In all he made 420 appearances, which stood as a club record for a goalkeeper for 42 years. His last game was against Aston Villa in 1957.
After making a few guest appearances for Chelsea during the war years, he played in two wartime internationals, and won his first full cap for England against France in May, 1949.
His international career was under way following his contribution to the rise of Wolves under Stan Cullis which began with the FA Cup triumph that same year.
It also led to his nickname coined by Italian journalists after Williams produced one of the performances of his career in England's 2-0 win at Tottenham. 'Il Gattone' – The Cat – ran the headlines in Italy the following day and the nickname stuck.
Molineux's flags were today flying at half-mast and the club has started a book of remembrance which is placed in the main Billy Wright reception, Waterloo Road. It will be presented to his family at Saturday's game.
He leaves three children, Ann, aged 72, Vaughan, 64, and Paul, 55 – who all live near Bert's home in Shifnal – two grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. He moved into a care home last year.

Comments for: "Bert Williams: Death of a Wolves legend"
It's sad to hear about the death of Bert Williams, who was a legend, when Wolves were once a legend in the days of my youth.
Sorry to hear the news about Bert Williams death, a legend and a great man.
The world of football will be a sad place without him.
RIP Bert and condolences to your family and friends.
Such sad news - Bert was so modest and truly a legend!
RIP Bert.
As a boy I played in goal for Wolverhampton Boys and was invited to train with Wolves at the Molinuex by Wolves scout 'Titch Harding' . On my second Tuesday evening who should I bump into but the great Bert Williams!!! He was the perfect gent. He gave me such good advice. A great man and Goalkeeper. I remember well One Saturday Match day I was in the' Cowshed end' Just behind the net and as he came out of the Tunnel and ran towards his goal area he saw me, came over, and had a very brief chat. How wonderful was that? I was king for a day. Thanks Bert for every hing. You will be missed
Great ambassador for Wolves from his playing days and throughout his life. A true gentleman with self modesty, a very human outlook and a genuine friendliness to whoever he met.
We have lost a great man who will be fondly remembered throughout the Wolves and football worlds and whoever knew him or met him.
RIP Bert.
Condolensces to Bert's family and friends.
Gerry Mannion
Quite simply a very sad day for everyone connected with the Wolves.
The Flying Winger
Yes a True Legend and Gentleman of a famously well respected team the World over.
Doncaster Wolf
Wolverhampton Wanderers, the football world and the West Midlands are the poorer after the passing on of Bert Williams. I had the honour of meeting him just once and he was an absolute gentleman and so modest with it. RIP Bert, we'll always remember you with pride, respect and love.
Very sad news.I meet him once, a lovely man.RIP Bert.
Quinton Baggie
Even though i'm a Baggie RIP Bert...respect.
Quinton Baggie
I did not read all of the report but to raise 150,000 on his own for the Alzheimers society shows what a great man Bert was...I can speak personally as this horrible disease is robbing my dad of his life...my dad used to watch Albion one week, Wolves the next in the 50's when it was the done thing so he would have seen Bert play.
Old Wulfrunian
Only 5'9" but a giant among men. The article and previous posts say it all. RIP Bert.
We have all lost a great man, a true legend as a goal keeper "The Cat" will always be one of Wolves Best ! my condolences go out to Vaughan and the family.
A proper Gentleman and pillar of the local community.
R.I.P you have truly earned it.
Sad sad news...
Mr Bert "The Cat" Williams (MBE) you were a true legend and Gentleman..
It is ironic that on a comment to JIWAL's moving post on the 16th, I mentioned that Bert was my late Dad's favourite players. I was told many stories of how good he was.
RIP Mr Williams.. The applause will be loud at the Mol next Saturday.
Never saw him play,bit before my time,but only heard all good about him
These are never good times to hear about,commiserations to family and friends
R.I.P from a Baggie the rivalry counts for nothing during these times
brierley hill wolf
Rivalry - if only that was all it was instead of the hatred that is so common these days, I think quinton baggie above says it all when he said his dad watched wolves one week then albion the following week those must have been great days with such legends as bert, ray barlow etc banter exchanged instead of fists!!!!!! rip bert and all the black country greats up there in heaven
Brierley(s) & Quinton Baggie:
My Late Dad used to tell plenty of stories about the old local derby's, great football, massive crowds, and... Banter? lots of it. Fighting? never...
I wish I'd had the opportunity to be at one of the games in the 53/54 season... Vintage year for the Black Country..
Who knows... Maybe again one day..
A true Bilston gentleman and a role model for all. RIP.
R.I.P Bert.
In common with everyone else, I feel such sadness to learn this news. For me, quite simply, Bert was a boyhood hero. I have so many memories of standing behind the goal at the old South Bank end and marvelling at his skill. I feel so privileged to have been a fan at that time and to have seen him in action on so many occasions. He was indeed a true legend. A sad day - RIP Bert.
Mike Baggies Fan (Coseley)
As A WBA Fan, I would like to offer My Condolences To Bert Williams Family and to all at Wolverhampton FC, what a great ambassador to the world of football and a lovely man. This country England will never forget this great character and one that will remain in the history books for ever. May he RIP.
A very sad day R I P , A TRUE GENT

Football will miss one of its true greats.
Condolences to family and friends.
I still have my kid size replica cricket bat which I had from his shop in Oxford Street ,Bilston. It was made in Nottingham and bears his painted signature. Bit battered through use though. Gentleman.
WBA fan in peace. Sorry to hear of your loss. Seems like a top bloke. RIP.
I was still in Mauritius when I took notice of Wolves prowess in 1955 and from then on I became a staunch Wolves supporter. It is livid in my memory of that superb team clinching 3 League titles and one FA Cup. Plus the floodlit games which enabled Wolves to dominate the best in the world. So I am like all Wolves fans and other football fans very sad to hear of the passing away of such a superb goalkeeper and a true legend. My condolences to his family and the clubs he so dearly served.
Jackett the Hat
Bradley's finest, time for all even when not feeling well. The 'Cat' was a gent in every sense and will be sadly missed around the world.
Rest in peace me mon.
Golden Wanderer
Wasn't going to post after E&S changed the log in procedure and had to change my username for some reason but i had to comment on such a true great passing away.
Today's players on their thousands a week with less than half the talent of this gracious man should take the time to realise what this guy and several others of that era went through when the game was more about the pride of playing than their pay packet.
Too young to see him play but you only have to hear what people have said during and after his career to realise what a great person he was.
Commiserations to all of Bert's family. A true Wolves legend.
RIP Bert Williams one of the best of the very best. A credit to Wolves and England and you will be missed.
True greatness never comes around often and you can count yourself among the greats,rip Bert.

funny old world
RIP from a baggie, my dad and uncle used to watch him play, came over as a very honourable man.
I can just about remember Bert. My Dad always said he was the greatest ever . . . . and he supported Spurs.
Simply the best.
Condolences to his family.
Few people achieve legendary status in their own lifetime, but Bert Williams managed to do that. I never saw him play, but he clearly was something special if people still talk about him in the same breath of other greats of that golden era of the fifties.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
RIP Bert Williams - your name and memory will live on.
My Dad said he was a ' good un ' and he did not say that about many Wolves players . My sympathies to all concerned .
RIP Bert.
Well before my time but heard many story`s about the great man , a true legend, RIP Bert .
Slawit Wolf
I saw Bert play and this little story describes what I thought of him. One night my parents came into my bedroom as they had heard a noise. They found me out of bed sleep-walking! I had a pillow pushed against a window and was calling in my sleep 'Bert Williams is the greatest! Bert Williams is the greatest!' Thankfully I have grown out of sleep-walking at night.
My condolences to his family.
Blocko Saddler
RIP to Saddlers & Wolves legend.
CantelloRocket 78
I've only just become aware of Bert's death, and although I was too young to see him play, he's always been given great respect and praise from fans of that Era, so I appreciate what a sad loss it is to his family, and to Wolves as a club.
R.I.P Bert, it seems modern players could learn a lot from your ability, and status as a great man.
CR78: couldn't agree more, if the majority of today's players had an ounce of Bert's humility and loyalty, then they would get a lot more respect back from the fans..
If religion is your thing.and you believe in heaven, ...........then there is one hell of a great black country (Wolves and WBA) squad forming up there!
Very sad. I was a teenager living 400 yards away from the Walsall football ground and Bert was my idol. When he moved to Wolves I became a Wolves supporter.
First saw him when I was 8 - until that day I was more interested in the flash from the trolley bus cables at the top of Molineux Street visible from my perch on the wall near the players tunnel. Many fabulous goalkeeping displays are recalled over the years since that time in 1949 and also of his friendship in the 50s with my Uncle for whom he supplied many match and International tickets - sometimes on match days I recall waiting with my Uncle as through an open window in the Wolves team changing rooms tickets were handed over to us. Later as i watched from the North Bank he was to prove what a fabulous goalkeeper he was. You may say that times and pitches have changed now but goalkeepers back then were not pampered as today's keepers are- goalkeepers were liable to end up in the net with the ball from an opposing forwards charge and the referee signal "goal". And the leather ball was extremely heavy compared to the "balloons" used in today's game. Another Wolves hero gone but certainly never forgotten. I am still a ST holder at Wolves and shall think fondly of Bert at Kick off v Bristol City on Saturday still from the "North Bank". Unforgettable memories.
S.E. Clarkson
Together with Jack Holden, arguably the two sporting icons of the Black Country.
My sincere condolences to his family.
One of my most enduring memories of Bert was, strangely enough when they lost to Sunderland 3-0.
In those days goalkeepers were fair game for opposing forwards in fact my father refused to watch me play in goal for the school because, he said he wasn't going to see me get knocked about.
The Sunderland and Wales center forward, Trevor Ford was one who took full advantage of this and during the match in question he actually kicked Bert in the head when he was on the ground with the ball. Which would have got him at least a red card nowadays. At the time it was the practice to pass the young kids overhead to sit on the wall behind the goal and when this happened I could hear my dad cursing. I am 71 years of age now and I still haven't heard the names that my father called Trevor Ford. I think, working at the steelworks where there was a large Polish presence, he reverted to Polish. Bert, after a little attention from Joe Gardiner and the magic sponge just got on with the game.
One last thing, at the risk of sounding picky on this sad occasion, Bert was born in Bradley, COSELEY not Bilston, let's get it right for once.
RIP Bert. S.E. Clarkson, Arizona
The best goalkeeper ever to grace soccer stadiums anywhere!!!
The man was a gentleman both ON and OFF the field.

God bless you Bert, a true legend. Whenever the last line of defence you were never found wanting.

Bert Williams - TRIBUTE - BILLY WILSON
In 1985 Bert and myself were working on collecting Hay from his fields at his House.
It was Wolverhampton Millennium Year, I was making the Marathon the Central Showpiece.
I asked Bert to collect together all of the Team for a celebration in Wolverhampton Council Chamber.
In 1985 King Aethelred had given the area of the Town to his mistress Lady Wulfruna.
He had also given the other areas to Westminster Abbey.
So I invited the Lord Mayor of Westminster to the proceedings of Celebration.
The Lord Mayor of Westminster accepted the Invitation.
So I asked Bert to do the Honours with the Team to meet and Greet the Lord Mayor.
Duly on the night ALL of the Team came including Stan Cullis the Manager.
Billy Wright said "Give me a drink, 3 fingers of whiskey."
I did the Master of Ceremonies bit. I then asked Bert to thank the Lord Mayor of Westminster for his attendance.
Bert stood up and said, It is the Captains job to speak and lifted Billy Wrights shoulder.
Billy stood up and said "I want to firstly say, this is the first time anyone has asked us to a Civic Occasion, since we stopped playing".
Billy was at that time Head of TV Sport. So we all enjoyed his very strong message banter.
Bert was his usual placid happy self.

I would like to pay tribute to the late, great Wolves and England goal keeper, Bert Williams, who was the ultimate pro and who players of today look up to. He was proud to wear the gold and black shirt and was driven by his love of football and was not money motivated like many of the players of today. He put Bilston on the map. He is a true LEGEND of Wolves Football Club. RIP Bert. My thoughts go to his family. BERT YOU WERE THE BEST.
From: MEL HARPER, COSELEY.

Bioscience industry trends 2013
The bioscience industry is about to step into 2013 and the year is predicted to unfold with new opportunities and trends that were so far just talk in the laboratories. First and foremost, the fact that blockbusters are on the verge of patent expiration has been a big worry for pharmaceutical companies, who have churned out mammoth profits from these drugs. Frost & Sullivan suggests that the top global pharmaceutical companies are employing new growth strategies to counter mounting industry challenges and are seeking to accelerate drug discovery plans and in 2013 more drug discovery tie-ups with external companies will be noticed.
"In addition to implementing new growth strategies to face larger economic challenges, pharmaceutical companies are doing less R&D internally than decades ago," said Ms Winny Tan, industry analyst, Frost & Sullivan. "By externalizing much of the development work for drugs and diagnostics, development costs are curbed while organizations are able to leverage outside expertise."
Read what the industry leaders predict for 2013:
In 2012, impressive developments were seen in the field of genomics, and countries such as Taiwan, Singapore and Korea implemented new plans to accelerate genomics research. Industry believes that in 2013 more initiatives would be taken to enhance genomics-related activities in various countries. It will gain wider reach, giving way to the trend of personal genomics where individuals can track their health issue way in advance.
Preventive diagnostics is another area where industry will be seen capitalizing opportunities in 2013 amidst the wave of churning ideas into revolutionary products targeted to bring healthcare services faster, better and smarter.

Microsoft Raises Its Licensing Fees to Cash in on Bring-Your-Own-Device
Jason Mick
November 27, 2012 11:35 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
BYOD fees for "user CAL" licenses of Sharepoint, Lync, etc. will jump 15 percent
Microsoft Corp. (
) has announced a change that's good news for its investors and bottom line, but likely bad news for business clients.
The change affects Microsoft's so-called client-access license (CAL). If you own a business, you purchase a CAL from Microsoft, which allows your on-site employees to use software such as:
Bing Maps Server
Core Suite
Enterprise Suite
Exchange Server Standard or Enterprise
Lync Server Standard or Enterprise
Project Server
SharePoint Server Standard or Enterprise
System Center 2012 Client Management Suite
System Center Configuration Manager
System Center Endpoint Protection
Visual Studio TFS
Windows Multipoint Server
Windows Server
Windows Server RDS, RMS, Terminal Services
There are
two flavors of CALs
-- User CALs, which allow a unique user to connect any device they own, and the Device CALs, which associate a per device license fee. Previously Microsoft had set these two licensing options to the same price.
User CALs (left) are the preferred solution for BYOD users, versus Device CALs (right).
That was great news for enterprise users, as one of the hottest trends right now in IT is the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) craze. BYOD means that one user may not only connect from both a work machine (say a work laptop), but also personal machines they own (say their personal tablet and laptop). If a business was to buy a Device CAL license, it'd have to buy three licenses for those devices, but with the User CAL, the employee had the flexibility to use any of those devices, while the employer was on the hook for only a single license fee.
But the deal is about to get a little less sweet, as Microsoft has announced that it will be bumping the price of its various User CALs by 15 percent. The price change will take affect Dec. 1. However, large customers that have Enterprise Agreements, Enterprise Subscription, Open Value Subscription, and Open Value Perpetual will be able to hang on to their current pricing until the end of their contract.
Ultimately this seems like a smart move for Microsoft. After all, a 15 percent premium User CAL is still the cheaper option for enterprise customers, if the average user connects with 2 or more devices. But the move could also backfire, forcing some smaller clients to free, open source alternatives. However, making such a switch can be costly and the end result may be inferior software, in some cases.
For those reasons it seems unlikely that Microsoft will see mass defections, even if it may be offering up an irritating change to its business clients.
"The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak." -- Robert Heinlein

Just received this latest entry in Hot Toys fine line of 1:6 scale figures from Nolan's "Dark Knight" saga...
Very well done figure. Usual great attention to detail. The body features some specialized parts...the upper chest and neck are all one piece and feature sculpt details like the scar on his back.
The head sculpt is phenomenal...especially around the eyes...capturing Hardy's menacing attitude perfectly.
Not much in the way of accessorizes here, but what little there is does lend itself to several alternative display looks for the figure, mainly from the movie's latter half. Having Batman's broken cowl as an accessory is a cool touch...looks cool on display at his feet.
I haven't been brave enough yet to remove the harness and put on the shirt (there are instructions included)....part of that is because I'm so impressed with how HT handles the exposed joints on this figure....yes, they are visible, but the sculpting and design is so well rendered that the lines of the body in appearance stay true...it doesn't look clunky. An impressive solution that I enjoy looking at and am not anxious to cover up.
The box is nice enough....well-rendered with bold graphics and some texture. The only odd thing about it is the highly stylized pic of Bane on the box lid features him wearing the trailmaster jacket he features in much of the film (the rooftop encounter, the Stock Exchange, the Dagget confrontation). Strange to feature and article of clothing on the cover that is NOT included with this figure. But that is a very minor thing considering the strength of this release.
Bane looks pretty awesome next to HT's Dark Knight figure...an impressive display indeed.
Here's a look at this fine figure...

New Pet Center Washington DC
When bringing home a new pet, there are many important things to keep in mind to keep you and your new companion happy and healthy. Read on for some tips from people who know the ropes and make the transition as smooth as possible for everyone involved.
Legal Assistance for Pet Fraud Washington DC
In a fairly new twist on an old con game, Web-based fraudsters have put a puppy's face on an old scam. Puppy scams take various forms and have extended the "buyer beware'' adage to law-abiding sellers in Washington.
Pet Adoption Centers Washington DC
The holidays are all about giving and unwrapping wonderful surprises in packages both big and small. But one Yuletide surprise you should think twice about foisting onto an unsuspecting recipient is a new puppy, kitten, bird, small mammal or other pet -- the kind of Christmas gift that can open a Pandora 's Box of troubles.
Pet Parenting Classes Washington DC
For women, as well as cats and dogs, the dangers of breast cancer can prove devastating. Aggressive cancer cells invading mammary glands may transform into malignant tumors, which, in turn, can insidiously spread to other mammary glands and even metastasize to brew disastrous perils elsewhere.
Pet Pigs Washington DC
Choosing a pig has to be done with the utmost care. Unscrupulous dealers sell pigs that they claim are the pot-bellied variety, but are in fact not. Beware -- average pigs of "standard" breeds, such as the Poland China or Chester White, can weight 500-900 pounds as adults.

I don't use the PM feature, so just email me direct at the address shown above.
In last night's debate Obama said that there is a loophole that gives companies incentives when they ship jobs overseas. Romney said he has been in business over 25 years and never heard of that. My question to Obama is why didn't you do something about it. He acts like he was not in office for the last 4 years. He just campaigns like he will fix other people's mistakes.
I thought Romney won. I am not sure what happened to Obamab, but he didn't show up as forceful as I thought he would. That being said, I was disappointed with the debate as a whole. I thought it was a pretty boring. I dont' think either one really said anything new. It left me with more questions than it answered.

Although I slant the other way, I have to say Romney took the debate. But, I think there is more substance out of my kennel run when Titan and Zeus get into a debate. (Actually, Zeus, says he is running for Congress. His slogan is "Put a dog in the house.")
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!

Three years after the historic UN High Level Meeting on Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs), countries from around the world gathered in New York on 10-11 July for the UN NCD Review (#NCDReview). The meeting was held in the presence of government representatives and consisted of two plenary meetings and two thematic roundtable discussion as well as side events.
The review took stock of the progress made since Heads of State and Government adopted the UN Political Declaration on NCDs in 2011 and committed themselves to develop national plans to prevent and control NCDs. It resulted in the adoption of a concise, action-orientated and focused outcome document.
The outcome document contains a number of clear, time-bound national commitments for accelerating action on diabetes and NCDs including:
- Setting national targets taking into account the nine voluntary targets for NCDs, including the one on diabetes.
- Developing multisectoral national plans and national multisectoral mechanisms.
- Emphasising health-in-all-policies and whole-of-government approaches.
- Taking measures for NCDs monitoring and surveillance.
- Increasing resource mobilisation for NCDs.
- Encouraging inclusion of diabetes and NCDs in post-2015.
- Reiterating the important role of civil society.
- Emphasising the production and promotion of food products consistent with a healthy diet.
- Committing to continue to encourage policies contributing to the achievement of food security and adequate nutrition.
- Recognising that the implementation of strategies promoting physical activity and regulation on the marketing of food and non-alcoholic beverages to children will accelerate efforts to reduce diabetes and NCDs.
- Focusing on strengthening international co-operation on affordable, safe, effective and quality medicines; with a recognition of the importance of universal health coverage to respond effectively and equitably to the needs of people with diabetes and NCDs.
- Agreeing to hold a future UN Review on NCDs in 2018.
On 10 July Member States reaffirmed their political commitment in response to the challenge of NCDs, sharing good practices from their respective countries and identifying gaps in progress. The following day, further discussion took place in the form of two thematic roundtable sessions that aimed to foster exchanges of experiences on capacity building, whole-of-government responses, partnerships and international cooperation. Some key recommendations from the roundtable sessions were:
- Establish stronger regulatory frameworks to prevent NCDs, particularly obesity.
- Provide technical expertise in establishing multisectoral partnerships, to ensure better results.
- Strengthen the investment case for NCDs, and focus on harnessing domestic resources via tobacco taxation and other proven financing mechanisms.
- Strengthen the role of civil society in low- and middle-income countries, including national NCD alliances.
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) issued a position statement for the UN NCD Review as well as a document outlining the main messages and ongoing discussions.

Yes there is, Gerry...and the Senate, and especially that pathetic object running that body, Dingy Harry, deserve to be impeached for derelict of duty, and not keeping their oath to protect the Constitution. Talk about elections having consequences...I apologize to everyone here for ousting Tom Dashole. I never realized there was a WORSE individual available for that spot, but obviously I was in error.
As to the two cabinet level departments you mention, we could do without them FOREVER! The sooner the better.

Spokane Police looking to hire
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Spokane Police Department is searching for a few good men and women to keep our community safe.
The department will be hiring 5 to 10 officers as soon as possible to help relieve what it's calling critical staffing levels.
"We just don't have a enough resources and the situation is not dire, but it can't get any worse," Lt. Rick Dobrow said.
On Saturday, Lt. Dobrow held an informational meeting at the Spokane Police Academy to educate people about what it takes to be an officer.
"I'll tell you who makes a good officer," Lt. Dobrow said.
"Someone who you and I would want to respond if one if one of our loved ones was in some type of need, that's what I use as the standard . . . We look for people who are sensitive and companionate yet can transition into something where they have command, presence and can come into a chaotic situation and diffuse things," he said.
Earlier this week, Police Chief Frank Straub said he wants people with life experience, who reflect our diverse community. He said it would be helpful to have officers who can speak Russian, Spanish, Chinese or Japanese.
The starting salary of an officer is $44,000 a year. With the city making 10 million dollars in budget cuts this fiscal year, Straub said he's working with the mayor to figure out how to fund new officers.
"The conversations that are going on now is how big should the police department be? How do we grow the police department? How do we have a sustainable funding stream for the police department,''? Chief Straub said.
Chief Straub said he will announce his plan alongside the mayor in the coming weeks.
If you want to apply to be an officer, applications are due May 3rd. For more information: http://www.spokanepolice.org/

5.28: Supervolcanoes
Is this a supervolcano?
Lake Toba in Indonesia is 100 km (62 mi) by 30 km (19 mi). The water fills a giant caldera created by a supervolcano. The eruption took place about 75,000 years ago, Earth's largest eruption in the past 25 million years. So much material was ejected into space that there was a 6- to 10-year volcanic winter. Some scientists think that only 10,000 humans survived worldwide. The numbers of other mammals also plummeted.
During a massive eruption, all of the material may be ejected from a magma changer. Without support, the mountain above the empty chamber may collapse. This produces a huge caldera. Calderas are generally round, bowl-shaped formations (Figure below).
Crater Lake, Oregon is the remnant of Mount Mazama. After an enormous eruption the mountain collapsed, forming a caldera. Crater Lake should actually be named Caldera Lake. Wizard Island, within the lake, is a cinder cone.
Supervolcano eruptions are extremely rare in Earth's history. It's a good thing because they are unimaginably large. A supervolcano must erupt more than 1,000 cubic km (240 cubic miles) of material. Imagine how large that is compared with 1.2 km3 for Mount St. Helens. Mount Pinatubo, a large eruption in the Philippines in 1991, erupted only 25 km3 of material. Not surprisingly, supervolcanoes are the most dangerous type of volcano.
Supervolcano Eruptions
The exact cause of supervolcano eruptions is still debated. However, scientists think that a very large magma chamber erupts entirely in one catastrophic explosion. This creates a caldera into which the surface collapses (Figure below). The composition of the eruption is felsic or highly felsic.
The caldera at Santorini in Greece is so large that it can only be seen by satellite.
Yellowstone Caldera
The largest supervolcano in North America is beneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Much of the national park lies within the enormous Yellowstone Caldera. It is so large that you can stand on one rim and not see the other side.
What would cause such a giant caldera?
Yellowstone sits above a hotspot that has erupted catastrophically three times: 2.1 million, 1.3 million, and 640,000 years ago. Yellowstone has produced many smaller (but still enormous) eruptions more recently (Figure below). Fortunately, current activity at Yellowstone is limited to the region's famous geysers. No one knows when the supervolcano will erupt again.
The Yellowstone hotspot has produced enormous felsic eruptions. The Yellowstone caldera collapsed in the most recent super eruption.
Supervolcano Eruptions and Life on Earth
A supervolcano could change life on Earth as we know it. Ash could block sunlight so much that photosynthesis would be reduced and global temperatures would plummet. Volcanic eruptions could have contributed to some of the mass extinctions in our planet's history. No one knows when the next super eruption will be.
Interesting volcano videos are seen on National Geographic Videos, Environment Video, Natural Disasters, Earthquakes: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/environment/. The video, "Mammoth Mountain," is particularly interesting; it explores Hot Creek and the volcanic area it is a part of in California.

Sad point of the day: Seeing a bunch of interesting concept papers (lilo's diary entries) disappear off Advogato. I hope they come back. I'm not sure I agree with everything that was in them, but they have been tought-provoking and interesting. (Those that have been flaming him away: Shame on you!)
Personally dangerous point of the day (or rather, last night): Got partially hooked on Everything 2. Starting to write up nodes there is a recursive loop - you always find something you want to link to, and thus have to create ever more nodes.
The Everything experience, combined with previous inspections of WikiWikiWeb, has led me to conlude that Ted Nelson (the original inventor of hypertext and initator the Xanadu project, started 1960) was right: You do need some way of hooking together multiple nodes of text (he calls them 'berts' or somesuch) to form a coherent text stream, but still be able to connect different sets of them for form different streams. Neither linear text nor traditional node/page based hypertext is enough, and thus all of the web, Everything, and WikiWikiWeb fail to live up to the original promise of hypertext. Everything and Wiki comes closer than the overall web, though.

Hide away and discover the treasures of Jefferson's Monticello, Madison's Montpelier, and Monroe's Highlands in the Virginia home of Presidents and beyond while staying in one of the finest of bed and breakfast inns in Charlottesville Virginia, Prospect Hill Plantation Inn and Restaurant.
Prospect Hill, located just 15 miles East of Charlottesville, VA, is an authentic 18th century plantation complex consisting of the 1732 manor house with additions from the 1840s to the 1920s with all seven of the original dependencies and former slave quarters dating from 1699 to 1850.
Since 1977 the Sheehan family has renovated this historic manor and outbuildings into thirteen distinctive guest rooms, all with private baths and working fireplaces, and most (eight suites and cottages) with double Jacuzzi whirlpool baths. Each guest room and cottage is unique. By keeping each room's original function as intact as possible, these guest rooms and suites vary from elegant to rustic, but all lodging rooms are charming and romantic with antique furnishings and pillow top queen and king size beds and modern bathroom amenities.
Our two candlelight dining rooms have been serving the finest culinary delights since 1977 to locals and overnight guests. Dinner is served nightly (except Tuesdays) between 6 pm and 8 pm. We require reservations for dinner, but we encourage you to call (even at the last minute) as we usually can squeeze in a few more guests. All major credit cards and personal checks are accepted.
The grounds at Prospect Hill are magnificent with many of the original 1840 plantings of trees, including a 5 acre arboretum (tree garden). There is a lovely outdoor swimming pool with shade pavilion, as well as, many private places to relax on our almost 40 acres of grounds. A large Garden Pavilion is perfect for quiet reflection and has been the site of hundreds of wedding ceremonies at Prospect Hill, which has the reputation as one of the premier wedding and small meeting locations in Virginia.
A large white tent will house the wedding reception of your dreams among ancient trees overlooking still meadows. The inn staff prepares a sumptuous wedding repast for as few as 2 and up to 150 guests. Smaller parties can also be accommodated indoors in the Rose Room, the former 1840 ballroom of the manor.

Fine Dining
Dining at Prospect Hill Plantation is an unusual culinary experience. The Sheehan family is continuing the tradition that goes back to 1874 when the Overton family first began taking in guests after the Civil War. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy a complimentary refreshment while acquainting themselves with fellow diners by a crackling fire, or stroll the grounds or explore the wine cellar. Since 1977 the dining experience at Prospect Hill has begun the same way: the innkeeper's bell announces the start of a four-course repast created by the inn's talented culinary staff. After the innkeeper offers a simple blessing, warm bread just out of the oven arrives and the meal begins. Just sit back and enjoy leisurely dining and good fellowship.
Menu selections are chosen from the finest of fresh regional ingredients and feature creative, original recipes with a distinct European influence. The dining room is open by reservation throughout the week. Special dietary needs are always accommodated with advance notice.

I just bought season 1 on DVD. It's still pretty cool, but perhaps not yet as edgy as The Shield, for those of you who know FX's show.
Still Miami is really enjoyable and features more babes in swimsuits - you have to love that!
The Ferrari's, speedboats, sea planes, and music give it a lot of style.
I just saw Al Bundy appear in an episode (Ed O'Neil) as an undercover FBI agent.
The show is still intense and for Shield fans, features two bad cops at least (the guys' lieutenient is on the take from the Columbian drug cartel, and Sonny knows it - I'm just approaching the 2-part episode where he and Tubbs probably do something about it. Edward James Olmos joins the show at some point as their new lieutenient and remains there throughout the series).
Unlike the movie, Sonny is having an affair with Gina. Rico hasn't made a move on Trudy yet - and I don't remember if he does. We'll get there.
Star Wars' Jimmy Smits (Bail Organa) was in the series "movie debut" as Sonny's first partner that gets killed by a car bomb in a bad drug deal. It wasn't surprising to see Smits playing a cop
The original might be a lot better than the recent movie - but there are a lot of similar shoot-outs at shipyard wherehouses and speedboat chases.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Real ID
The REAL ID Act took another blow in the Senate last week, hopefully putting legislators one step closer to ditching the national ID mandate.
An amendment tacked onto the Homeland Security appropriations bill would have given $300 million in federal funds to implement the Act. This measly sum would have done nothing to make up for the $23 billion burden states and taxpayers will be forced to bear.
The federal government has taken another step towards forcing you to carry a national ID in order to get on airplanes, open a bank account, enter federal buildings, and much more. But with state legislatures and Congressional representatives increasingly turning against the REAL ID Act, you can help stop this costly, privacy-invasive mandate -- voice your opposition now.
The Real ID Act took a blow last week, when Maine became the first state to formally declare its opposition. The Maine legislature voted overwhelmingly to refuse to comply with the act's mandates, and requested that Congress repeal the law.
The Real ID Act essentially forces states to create a national ID. Under the law, state drivers licenses will only be accepted for "federal purposes" -- like accessing planes, trains, national parks, and court houses -- if they conform to certain uniform standards. The law also requires a vast national database linking all of the ID records together. Estimated costs of $12 billion or more will be passed on to the states and, ultimately, average citizens in the form of increased DMV fees or taxes.
In 2005, Congress hastily passed legislation that rolled back privacy rights and moved the country towards a national ID system. The REAL ID Act states that drivers' licenses will only be accepted for "federal purposes"—like accessing planes, trains, national parks, and court houses—if they conform to certain uniform standards. The law also requires a vast national database linking all of the ID records together. Estimated costs of $12 billion or more will be passed on to the states and, ultimately, average citizens in the form of increased DMV fees or taxes.
