ENGLAND'S World Cup-winning captain Martin Johnson has agreed to extend his playing career by another year, according to Leicester Tigers chairman Peter Tom.
Johnson retired from international rugby after the World Cup, but has put aside any thoughts of hanging up his boots when his current Leicester contract expires at the end of this season.
Tom has agreed a new one-year contract with the 34-year-old, who is expected to sign the deal next week.
Tom said, "Since Martin came back from the World Cup he has been outstanding and his presence next season will be a huge boost. It's tremendous for us that he has agreed to play on for another season.
"He was the best player in the world last year and England's loss has been Leicester's gain."
Johnson, who reclaimed the Tigers' captaincy after quitting England, added, "I want to play on for another year at least and go from there."
Bath will take another important step towards landing their first league title for eight years if they beat Sale Sharks today.
Victory for the Zurich Premiership leaders would guarantee a top-three finish and secure their place in this season's title play-offs.
Defending champions Wasps and consistent Northampton, who clash in a crucial encounter tomorrow, are expected to complete the play-off picture, although Gloucester remain serious contenders.
Bath boss John Connolly welcomes back six players who were on RBS 6 Nations duty last weekend - Olly Barkley, Mike Tindall, Mike Catt, Steve Borthwick, Kevin Maggs and Simon Danielli - which should be enough to ensure his team remains in pole position.
The regular league season 'winners' qualify automatically for this season's title shoot-out at Twickenham.

Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective presents new measures and new ways of looking at traditional indicators. It builds on 50 years of indicator development by OECD and goes beyond R&D to describe the broader context in which innovation occurs. It includes some experimental indicators that provide insight into new areas of policy interest. It highlights measurement gaps and proposes directions for advancing the measurement agenda.
This publication begins by describing innovation today. It looks at what is driving innovation in firms, and how the scientific and research landscape is being reconfigured by convergence, interdisciplinarity and the new geography of innovation hot spots. It presents broader measures of innovation, for example using new indicators of investment in intangible assets and trademarks.
Human capital is the basic input of innovation, and a series of indicators looks at how well education systems are contributing to the knowledge and research bases. Further series examine how firms transform skills and knowledge, and shed light on the different roles of public and private investment in fostering innovation and reaping its rewards, with concrete examples from major global challenges such as health and climate change.
Measuring Innovation is a major step towards evidence-based innovation policy making. It complements traditional "positioning"-type indicators with ones that show how innovation is, or could be, linked to policy. It also recognises that much more remains to be done, and points to the measurement challenges statisticians, researchers and policy makers alike need to address.
The transition paths from plan to market have varied markedly across countries.

Reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development are the OECD's vehicle to mobilise higher education for economic, social and cultural development of cities and regions. They analyse how higher education systems impact local and regional development and assist in improving this impact.
This paper assesses how the shock to aggregate unemployment as a result of the economic crisis may be transmitted to structural unemployment through hysteresis effects that occur through the rise in long-term unemployment.
Pointers for Policy Development are designed for busy policymakers and others wanting to know the OECD's policy advice on different education and training topics within each of the thematic reviews carried out by the Education and Training Policy Division.

Vietnam's oldest serving bishop marks 50 years of priesthood
Vietnam's oldest serving bishop, who supported Catholics involved in a land dispute with the government, was lauded for his service to the Church during a recent celebration.
Eighty-three-year-old Bishop Paul Marie Cao Dinh Thuyen of Vinh diocese, the largest in terms of Catholic population out of Vietnam's 10 northern dioceses, marked the 50th anniversary of his priestly ordination on May 11.
Twelve bishops and 200 priests concelebrated the special Mass at Xa Doai Cathedral attended by 10,000 Religious and lay Catholics.
Bishop Joseph Nguyen Chi Linh of Thanh Hoa, vice president of the Vietnam Bishops' Conference, told the crowd that Bishop Thuyen had promoted solidarity among Catholics in the north.
Bishop Linh noted how in 2008, Bishop Thuyen had told parishioners of Thai Ha parish in Ha Noi that the "issues concerning Thai Ha are also issues concerning Vinh diocese."
Members of the parish had tried to prevent government authorities from selling a former Church-run plot of land near their church.
Bishop Linh also said that as a priest, Bishop Thuyen had bravely served the local Church after communists defeated French troops in northern Vietnam in the 1950s, and during the Vietnam War.
Catholics were discriminated against and the local Church's activities limited, he recalled.
Bishop Linh noted that Bishop Thuyen now spends more time traveling to serve the nearly 500,000 local Catholics in 178 parishes than living at his own residence.
"We have to thank God who has kept Bishop Thuyen in good health to serve the local Church during the past 50 years," said Bishop Linh.
Bishop Thuyen told UCA News that his top priorities now are to give priestly formation, build Church facilities and visit local Catholics. In the past 10 years, he had blessed over 100 new churches and founded several lay associations.
He plans to ordain 21 new priests on June 19.
Vinh diocese covers the provinces of Ha Tinh, Nghe An and Quang Binh.

Two of Canada's leading firms are merging to form one of the top three firms in the country – the second big merger in Canada in as many months.
Leading technology law firm Gowling Strathy & Henderson, which has more than 450 lawyers, is teaming up with 100-lawyer Quebec firm Lafleur Brown.
Gowling Strathy has offices in five cities across Canada, but until now had no office in Quebec. The link-up with Montreal firm Lafleur gives the IT/IP firm a more national practice.
The merged firm will be called Gowling Lafleur Henderson.
Gowling Strathy managing partner Scott Jolliffe says: "Our merger with Lafleur Brown is our response to our clients' needs, particularly in high-tech and corporate commercial law.
"They look to Gowlings to provide legal services in many different areas across Canada and globally – from start-up, on major transactions and in litigation."
He says that although the firm will now be the third largest in Canada he is more interested in putting together a strong team of people across the country than in size.
The new firm will also merge with a seven-man boutique firm in Vancouver which specialises in corporate finance and securities. Montpellier McKeen Varabioff Talbot & Giuffre will team up with Gowling Strathy's existing Vancouver office.
Lafleur Brown's managing partner Luc Lissoir says many firms are merging due to the booming Canadian economy.
He says: "Why are we now merging so much in Canada? I guess it's the right time. A lot of firms had affiliations which they set up over the years, and now they are trying to transform those into mergers.
"There is a lot of economic activity in Canada at the moment so all the markets are profitable and it's a good time to merge for everybody."
Last month five Canadian firms merged to create a 590-lawyer firm (The Lawyer, 6 March). At the time, Borden Ladner Gervais claimed to be the second largest in the country, but Gowling Strathy will now rival it.

With the holiday season upon us, it's once again time to offer gifts to Texas politicos who have been naughty and nice.
In most cases, these trinkets are appropriate for use next year, or when these Democrats and Republicans get in a bind.
Happy holidays, everyone. It's been a good year in politics.
David Dewhurst
Gift: A clock, or a book on time management.
The success of Sen. Wendy Davis' June filibuster to defeat an anti-abortion bill was not all the lieutenant governor's fault. But the way he handled the final hours of Davis' dramatic effort made him the scapegoat for critics in both parties.
When he saw there was a potential for Davis' filibuster to work, he could have taken the bill down and waited for Gov. Rick Perry to call another special session. If that had occurred, Davis would have never become a national star, since her filibuster wouldn't have happened.
The bill was approved in a second special session, but that's going to be lost in history. Right or wrong, Dewhurst had a hand in Davis' bid for governor.
Wendy Davis
Gift: A shoe contract
The folks who make the pinkish Mizuno Wave Riders that Davis wore during her filibuster were not hurting for business. But Davis certainly gave the company a public relations boost.
OK, she'll never be to Mizuno what Michael Jordan is to Nike, but certainly she deserves some sort of contract. Besides, Davis is going to wear out a couple of pair of those sneaks if she's going to beat Attorney General Greg Abbott in next year's general election.
Craig Watkins
Gift: The book Boss: Richard J. Daley of Chicago by Mike Royko
Watkins appears set on controlling Dallas County politics. A number of his assistants are running for judicial posts against Democratic Party incumbents. And the March primary also features a contest between Heath Harris, Watkins' top assistant, and Dallas County Democratic Party Chairman Darlene Ewing.
If Watkins wants to be a political boss, he should read about the most effective boss in the history of big city politics — legendary Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley.
GOP candidates for attorney general
Gift: High-resolution photos with Ted Cruz.
The three candidates — Rep. Dan Branch of Dallas, Sen. Ken Paxton of McKinney and Railroad Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman of Houston — have all been trying to promote their tea party support.
Branch and Paxton have taken it a step further. In dueling news releases, they have touted support from various lawyers and politicos associated with Cruz or his successful 2012 campaign for Senate.
If you are Cruz's dry cleaner, there's a chance the candidates for AG will seek to put you on their endorsement list.
Pete Sessions
Gift: Beyoncé's Dangerously in Love album
The Republican congressman from Dallas always seems to have a unique fundraiser planned.
This month in Washington, he hosted a campaign event at a Beyoncé concert.
Well, if you are going to use Queen Bey to raise money, you might as well get acquainted with her music. Dangerously in Love is Beyoncé's first solo album.
But who knows, Sessions could have been in the suite at the Verizon Center shaking it up to "Put a Ring on It."
Mary Suhm
Gift: A vacation
After eight years as Dallas' city manager and 35 years as a city worker, Suhm deserves a nice, long break. She's earned it.
Ted Cruz
Gift: A copy of the 1940 film North West Mounted Police
As a Canadian-American citizen, Cruz should surely appreciate this Cecil B. DeMille film. Gary Cooper plays a Texas Ranger who travels to Canada to catch the bad guys. He falls in love with Madeleine Carroll's character but ultimately loses her to a Mountie played by Preston Foster.
Imagine that, a tough Texas Ranger losing the girl to a Canadian.

Oz Cyclone Chasers Cyclone Blog
The NT LOW has finally made its decision to move west towards the Western Top End. All eyes will now be on the LOW and whether it can get offshore and intensify. Both the Bureau Of Meteorology in Darwin and Perth are mentioning the possibility of this system intensifying if it can get offshore. In fact this system has two chances to intensify. The first is in the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf later tomorrow and Wednesday while the second could be off the Pilbara coastline if it can get offshore.
So what do the models say?
2 of the 8 models consulted by OCC this evening show this system pushing offshore and one of those models show the system becoming a strong tropical cyclone before hitting the Pilbara coastline. Ordinarily you would say 2/8 shows that there is only a small chance, but we do have to pay some attention to it because one of those two models is the most accurate one in the world - the ECMWF
The general model consensus shows the LOW remaining inland (as per the model graphic below), but there has been a definite trend on every major computer model to push it closer to the Pilbara/Kimberley coastline during today's model runs. So this is certainly drawing our attention.
Very heavy rain will develop along the Western Top End coast and along the North Kimberley before shifting south and west towards major towns like Broome later in the week.
Become an OCC subscriber and find out all the latest information on this LOW and its chances of becoming a Tropical Cyclone at www.ozcyclonechasers.com.au/subscribe Our next subscriber exclusive video forecast on this system will be issued tomorrow afternoon, but a video update on the Kimberley/Pilbara weather situation will be updated tomorrow morning.

My chiropractor says he will never make one of my soups. The work, the mess, the time! Soup from a can is as far as he will go, even when a brilliant blogger offers directions, encouragement, love, and Jedi mind tricks.
So I accept you with your heels dug into the abyss. Namaste.
Okay I lied. Here's Plan B, a middle ground, if you will. Whether or not my chiropractor abandons the can remains to be seen.

User review on Tata Nano GenX written by Chetan (Guest) on 23 October 2014
Chetan (Guest)'s review on Tata Nano GenX Tata Nano 2013 CX
Year of Manufacture : 2011 | Driven no. of Kms. : 40000
- Pros: Suspension quality is good. Steering is easy
- Cons: Noisy engine and overheating problem
I am using Nano since few years. Though it was giving pretty good performance during earlier years, these days there are lot of problems coming up in one or the other parts. Recently I had got it done with suspension overhauling and replaced many of rubber bushings and boot kits. Earlier to that there was problem of overheating.It was repaired with cooling system overhauling and temperature switch replacement. In my experience its a good car to own but you must be prepared for frequent visit to authorised workshop for getting on or the other minor problems attended. You will be assured of overall savings as compared to other higher capacity engine version cars.

Google always pitched Google Drive, which launched in April after a considerable period of hype, as a replacement for Google Docs. What many users didn't realize, it seems, is that Google will indeed completely replace Google Docs with Drive later this year. While Drive is still opt-in at this time, it looks like the forced transition is coming soon, as Google has started to alert users that their Google Docs account will soon be "upgraded to Google Drive."
What's coming next, according to Google's official transition documents, is an opt-out phase similar to what the company has done when it transitioned to the new Gmail interface recently. Judging from the messages that many users are now seeing in Google Docs, this phase is going to start soon.
Finally, Google says, "users will be fully transitioned to Google Drive, with no ability to opt out." Overall, Google expects the transition from what it calls the "Google Documents List" to Google Drive by late summer 2012.

Philly Kid
Jason Connery's love of film and passion for directing came at an early age sitting on the sets of his father, Sir Sean Connery, and mother, Diane Cilento, watching such luminaries as Alfred Hitchcock, Gina Lollobrigida, Sydney Lumet, Joanne Woodward, Bridget Bardot, and the like working their craft.
Connery trained at The Bristol Old Vic Drama School, and after, Perth Repertory Company in Scotland, both as an actor and director.
He rose to acclaim as an actor in his breakthrough role in the long celebrated hit series Robin of Sherwood playing Robin Hood.
In the sixty plus television and movies he's acted in since, he has worked alongside some of the industry's greatest award winning actors, including Sir Michael Caine, Kristin Scott Thomas, Helena Bonham Carter, Owen Wilson and Christopher Walken. But his passion was always to get behind the camera.
Earning his directing chops in theatre, he then moved on to film and directed everyone from Academy Award winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr, to an heir to the throne, Prince Edward Wessex.
As a director, Connery shares a special bond with his actors because he brings over 30 years of acting himself, and can speak their language. That has proved helpful in garnering such high caliber actors such as Ron Perlman and Ray Winstone to trust him behind the camera.
He has had a string of financially successful films, with his latest film Philly Kid, starring Wes Chatham (The Help), being picked up by Warner Bros., with an April 15th, 2012 release.
Directing Of Corset's Mine will be Connery's 5th time at the helm.
Jason Connery's Films
Due to political pressure from the American public, the Air Force has decided to allow two well-known reporters limited access to the most secretive base on the planet. But when one of the base's "long-term visitors" exploits this unprecedented visit as a chance to liberate himself and his fellow alien captives, Area 51 turns from a secure government base to a horrifying destination of terror.
A team of mercenaries under the command of hard-charging war veteran Mack (Gooding Jr.), are contracted by a mysterious CIA operative named Elissa (Cruz) to rescue a scientist (Perlman) working on an archeological discovery deep under the Middle Eastern desert. With the help of a mysterious priest (Rollins), Mack and his team soon discover the true secret of what lies beneath the sands. A secret that has been protected for thousands of years. A secret that is not of this Earth.
A New Mexico veterinarian finds herself in the midst of a horrifying pandemic where humans and animals are stricken with a horrible contagious disease. When the military quarantines the area and cuts off all communications, she must pair up with an eccentric conspiracy theorist as they fight to discover the true source of the threat and expose it or risk a viral threat more devastating than anything the world has ever seen!

By the way, you really need to make bug reporting easier. The vast majority of
people would have either (1) been intimidated and simply quit or (2) been
frustrated and simply quit or (3) been hopelessly confused and simply quit.
You've made it virutally impenetrable. People are doing you a FAVOR in reporting
a bug but you make them register then navigate through layers of menus. Take a
tip from the folks in Redmond. They just say "Can we please send the dump?"
That's it. You're shooting yourselves in the foot here.
Good luck fixing this. I'd really sort of like to somehow update my system.
OH COME ON PEOPLE! Now it says I have to choose a component. I don't even know
what a component is, for pete's sake. You are making this HARD. If you want

NGO: Smoking Kills 2,000 People Every Year in Estonia ({{commentsTotal}})
Around 2,000 people die in Estonia every year from a tobacco-related disease, the data of the Estonian Cancer Society said.
Around 3,000 people fall ill due to smoking every year, uudised.err.ee reported on Saturday, the World No Tobacco Day.
Throughout the world, six million people die annually due to tobacco.
In Estonia, 26 percent of people aged 16-64 smoke daily - a little over 231,000 people.
The number of smokers has decreased since the 1980s by only 1.5 percent - in comparison, the number had decreased by 6 and by 8 percent in Finland and the United Kingdom respectively.
"Smoking causes 90 percent of all lung cancer cases. The number of male smokers is slowly falling, but more and more women are smoking. At the same time, smoking is more harmful to the health of women. The high number of young smokers is also very worrying," Toomas Adlas, chief medic of the private Qvalitas Medical Center.

Book World: Lincoln Scholars
Tuesday, February 19, 2008; 3:00 PM
Lincoln scholars Allen C. Guelzo and William Lee Miller, will be online Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 3 p.m. ET to discuss their books, "Lincoln and Douglas: The Debates That Defined America," and "President Lincoln: The Duty of a Statesman which are reviewed in
A transcript follows.
Read this week's Book World roundup: Best Books for Young People
Join Book World Live each Tuesday at 3 p.m. ET for a discussion based on a story or review in each Sunday's Book World section.
Allen C. Guelzo: Hello, everyone: this is Allen Guelzo from Gettysburg College. I see Bill is already at work, but I'm at his elbow (electronically) and ready to field questions about Lincoln and Douglas.
William Lee Miller: I am William Lee Miller, and I wrote a book about Lincoln as President. An earlier book--Lincoln's Virtues-- I called an "ethical biography"; this new book is an ethical biography of the greatest of our presidents. and I am here to answer your questions about it. s.
Harrisburg, Pa.: How much was mentioned in newspaper articles and perhaps personal journals and letters as to what Lincoln and Douglas said during their debates? I know there is no transcript, yet I wonder how much history has preserved of their words if not their meanings.
Allen C. Guelzo: There are numerous accounts left by witnesses and members of the audiences for the debates, plus newspaper reporters who actually did publish transcripts (from shorthand) or summations. The transcripts were published in the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Times, and then reprinted in a number of other newspaper. The other summaries and accounts appear in newspapers throughout Illinois and elsewhere across the country.
Harrisburg, Pa.: Did either or both of you read "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin? Personally I found the analysis insightful and it was very informative seeing how Lincoln may have been the unique stablizing force in keeping divergent parties together resulting in keeping the Civil War and its aftermath from spinning out of control. Do either of you have any comments on this book?
Allen C. Guelzo:'Team of Rivals' was a great survey of Lincoln as a manager of several over-mighty national figures. Considering how little experience Lincoln had at the executive level, and how prominent some of these people were -- Chase, Seward, Bates -- he turned out to be endlessly adroit in fending off interference, taking their advice on his own terms and proceeding with his own agenda. It's often said that leadership is the art of getting people to do what you want, and making them think it's what they want. This captures a lot of what Lincoln did, and Doris's book describes it all very well and in a very entertaining fashion.
William Lee Miller: Yes, Doris's book does show Lincoln's great talent as a political manager (the book is a considerable work of "management" also--complicated stories well told). Her book also shows the humanity and complexity of his cabinet, by Doris's digging out of the letters to and from their wives--Frances Seward in particular. There had not been a good book on Lincoln's cabinet for 60 years; now there is this fine book. I made the mistake of saying to her that I did not think the title Team of Rivals would work (although it was surely better than at the title it replaced--"Master of Men")--but Team of Rivals turned out to be exactly the right title--the Rivals for the nomination then were made into a Team by the political genius of their leader.
Templeton, Mass.: I understand that Lincoln was concerned about the rise of corporate power in the United States. What do you think he would make of our corporate-dominated culture today? And secondly, do you think the rise of the corporation had its roots in the North's industrialization during the Civil War, and in Lincoln's own policies?
Thank you
Allen C. Guelzo: Corporate organization in American business and commerce was already well under way by the time Lincoln became president. But all the evidence from his pre-war lawyering days is that he had little objection to the rise of corporations. As a state legislator, he had strongly favored the creation of an Illinois state bank, as well as sponsoring the chartering of public/private corporations like the Illinois Central Railroad. As a whole, the Whigs (and remember that Lincoln was a Whig far longer than he was a Republican) looked upon banks and corporations as a more efficient means of development; the Jacksonian Democrats thought they were the tools of the devil, but Whigs like Lincoln disagreed. During his presidency, Lincoln favored the re-construction of a national financial system, and his most important 'internal improvement' project was the Pacific railroad, which involved federal purchase of the bonds of two corporate giants, the Union Pacific and Central Pacific. True, corporations did not achieve the scale we normally associate with them until the 1880s; but it's still hard to imagine that Lincoln would offered much in the way of determined opposition. Herndon said that they always thanked the Lord when a corporation came knocking at their office door to hire them.
Fairfax, Va.: Seems like Douglas had more to lose than to gain by participating in the debates. What were the strategic reasons that led him argue the issues with Lincoln?
Allen C. Guelzo: Douglas, who already had more than enough name recognition to get himself elected president, much less senator, had absolutely nothing to gain from leveling the playing field by accepting Lincoln's challenge. In fact, his first instinct was to refuse. But Douglas was a risk-taker by temperament; I expect that this represented another risk he just couldn't resist. He lived to regret it.
Chevy Chase, Md.: Gentlemen: Lincoln's virtues are well documented, morally, politically, interpersonally, etc., through Mr. Miller's first book. It's not easy to be critical of so great a man, but can you help?
I'd submit that picking generals was not a strong suit....
William Lee Miller: After I published a book called Lincoln's Virtues a wit said that my next book should be Lincoln's Vices. But in my opinion that would be a short book! I wrote President Lincoln instead, completing the Ethical biography. I am asked often about Lincoln's mistakes and faults; he certainly made some mistakes. I have chapter in President Lincoln about the Powhatan affair that was a royal screw-up in the early days----right alongside the Sumter affair. Lincoln signed letters he should not signed, and the ship was sent to two places at one under two captains--etc etc. Fortunately, no great harm. Lincoln took the blame and did not do anything like that again.
I do not think you can fault him for picking generals that did not work out, because, as he said to Hay when he went back to McClellan in the fall of 62, we have to work with what we have. The US did not have any big supply of good generals, and some it did have went with the rebels. If Lee had stayed with his country the story would have been different.
San Antionio, Tex.: I would like to have you compare the two hours plus debate between Lincoln and Douglas versus the smart short sound bytes that form the reporting on political positions these days. I personally think it gives the swift boaters of any kind the right of way in our politics. Thank you.
Allen C. Guelzo: Modern presidential debating only started with Nixon and Kennedy in 1960, although the proximity of that to the Lincoln-Douglas centennial is more than accidental. Still, that may be the only way in which L/D and N/K are "proximate." The reason is, I think, the medium. Lincoln and Douglas were talking, but the talking was in terms of logic, development, and reasoning. Television, as a medium, resists those qualities in speaking -- it favors quick cuts, one-liners, and talking points. I think the modern debates are largely the prisoners of the televised medium. I suspect, too, that the modern debates represent the effort of candidates with widely-varying constituencies and special interests to please to tip the hat as quickly as possible to as many of the constituencies and interests as possible. That leaves no time for big-picture issues. Contrast this with Lincoln and Douglas, where the subject was only ever slavery, and the discussion went (by the last three debates) right to the bedrock of what a democracy is all about.
Omaha, Neb.: It seems that there has been a resurgence in interest in Lincoln over the past two or three years. Any theories as to why?
Allen C. Guelzo: I don't know that there has ever been a time when Lincoln didn't stand head-and-shoulders above all other presidents in the historians' eye. But relatively speaking, there have been peaks and a troughs. One peak was in the 1910s-20s; a major trough was in the 1970s-80s. We are certainly on a peak again, something which began in 1994 with Michael Burlingame's 'The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln,' which showed in fabulous detail how many new and untapped sources were available on Lincoln. This was followed by David Donald's 1995 Lincoln biography. And since then, we've really been in a golden age of Lincoln scholarship. Another part of this interest is, I think, a general anxiety, after the end of the Cold War, to find a new basis for affirming American nationhood. And perhaps another, in plainer terms, is the lure of the approaching Lincoln bicentennial.
William Lee Miller: I agree with and learn from what Allen has written. I would add that the civil rights movement--the sea change in racial relations since 1954, or since WW II, had caused the Civil War, and the central figure, to be seen through new eyes, criticized, and then defended.
Templeton, Mass.: Thanks for your thoughtful reply to my previous question about Lincoln's views on corporations. I'm no scholar, but didn't Lincoln also say something about being all for money, but placing the person before money? And what do you think of this quote in the light of corporations, though I cannot vouch for it's accuracy:
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed." -- Abraham Lincoln
Allen C. Guelzo: The quotation is probably bogus, since it comes from no source we can verify. He did speak about keeping the man before the dollar, but he was talking at that moment about slavery, and referring to keeping the humanity of the slave higher in view than the self-interest of the slaveholders. This does not quite make Lincoln a challenger of the corporations; in fact, he prefaced those words by saying that Republicans were for the man AND the dollar.
Lincoln's Actions During War: I'm not a great defender of the current administration, but: it strikes me that people might be a little more understanding of the current situation if they were aware of some of the extraordinary measures President Lincoln had to take during an unprecedented period. Your thoughts?
William Lee Miller: All presidents--particularly war presidents, presidents inclined to the imperial presidency--invoke Lincoln as a justification, but they omit these three defenses of Lincoln's strong actions (suspend habeas, blockade, increase army without congress, arrest Maryland legislators, etc etc)
1) the situation he faced was UNIQUE. In his view, the United States was threatened with destruction, ruin, overthrow, perishing (all words that he used) which is not the case for any other president, including the current one.
2) there was specific constitutional provision for emergency measures in the case that he faced--an insurrection--which no other president has faced.
3) He did not contend that his actions were immune from Congressional correction; on the contrary, he specifically said he was acting beyond the present provisions in the expectation that congress would retroactively approve, which they did. He did not say anything like Nixon: if the president does it is legal.
And he did not negate congressional action by "signing statements."
Washington, D.C.: Douglas died roughly two months after the war started. Although he was opposed to secession, did he ever acknowledge how some of his positions -- most notably the Kansas-Nebraska act -- led to the onset of the war?
Allen C. Guelzo: One thing which Stephen A. Douglas was temperamentally incapable of doing was admitting he was wrong. He always believed that 'popular sovereignty' -- the core doctrine of the Kansas-Nebraska Bill -- was the right solution to the slavery controversy; and even though it had failed to solve much of anything in Kansas and Nebraska, he stubbornly insisted that this was because it had never been adequately tested. Surprisingly, right towards the very end, he endorsed the Crittenden Compromise, which would have junked 'popular sovereignty' in favor of a restoration of the Missouri Compromise. Was all of Douglas's promotion of 'popular sovereignty' a plausible device for getting him elected president? With his death in June, 1861, any possible answer to that question went to Douglas's grave with him.
Worcester, N.Y.: In the vast array of Lincoln studies, what do you believe would be the best to recommend for a book club looking to expand their all around knowledge of this man. Not an easy question, I wager.
Allen C. Guelzo: Tell the book club to buy whatever Bill Miller writes.
Okay, seriously: the best one-volume biography of Lincoln is still Benjamin Thomas's 1952 biography. David Donald's 1995 biography is a close second, and close enough that if you can only obtain the Donald rather than the Thomas, your book club will still be doing just fine. I also admire Michael Burlingame's 'The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln' (1994), although this is not a biography, but rather a series of topical essays on such matters as Lincoln's "anger and malice" (now there's a surprise) and the Lincoln marriage (read "anger and malice" first).
William Lee Miller: I would add, buy any book that Allen Guelzo writes. I would add the two fine books by Doug Wilson, Honor's Voice and Lincoln's Sword. And the good short book--if the club wants a swifter view--by Mark Neely called The Last Best Hope.
Sterling, Va.: Thanks for taking my question. There have been at least two books in recent years talking about biological factors in Lincoln's life ("Lincoln's Melancholy" and another book about a particular genetic disorder he may have had). In your opinions, what role should biology play in Lincoln studies? Do you see any sort of biological data having a significant impact on our perception and understanding of Lincoln as a president and historical figure?
Allen C. Guelzo: We still know so little about how the brain interacts with the body chemistry -- or, for that matter, whether we should be talking about the brain or the mind -- that it would be perilous to hazard any guess about the way Lincoln's biological health may or may not have affected him. Of course, we don't have Lincoln on hand to ask him directly; but even if we did, we still might not be able to make sense of how all the parts worked together. We have descriptions of his physical make-up, but those are more matters of describing his appearance. It's simply hard to say, in clinical terms, what the wiring inside the man looked like.
Raleigh, N.C.: Are there any known recordings of the voice of Robert Todd Lincoln, who died in 1926? If so, it might be our best hint as to how the 16th president sounded -- although it was said that RTL was mostly all Todd and very little Lincoln.
Also, there was some dispute as to whether Lincoln's last descendant, Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith, may have had a child with his much younger last wife, but the court found against paternity. Has the alleged Lincoln descendant pursued his claim? It would be nice to think that there are still Lincoln-Todd descendants alive.
Allen C. Guelzo: Robert Todd Lincoln did his very best to stay out of the public limelight, generally declining invitations to speak about his father, and refusing seductive inquiries about running for elected office. He was present, however, at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922, and may have spoken briefly there. If so, he may also have been recorded, since audio of other speakers at the dedication of the Memorial has survived.
It would be pleasant to believe that some of Lincoln's DNA is actively swimming around in somebody's soup, but all the evidence is against it. And of course, there's always the risk that what we might get would be more Todd than Lincoln.
Reston, Va.: Is it safe to say, after having done exhaustive research and study, that Abraham Lincoln was something of a philosopher?
Allen C. Guelzo: A philosopher? No. Not even what we might call an intellectual. But he did have intellectual instincts, a tremendous curiosity on a broad range of subjects, and a near-photographic memory for what he read. He was, at the end of the day, a politician: politics were his heaven, said Herndon, and metaphysics his Hades. But Lincoln did take comfort in ideas and books, more so than almost any other president, and he went to books and ideas in moments of perplexity to sort things out. Philosopher, no, but thoughtful and (as John Todd Stuart said) "surprisingly well-read" for his day.
William Lee Miller: I agree: A philosopher, not exactly. But he did have a strong mind, which sought generalizations as well as particulars. He had a terrific memory, as Allen says; he had great clarity of mind and expression, and he worked to make it clearer--reading Euclid in his early 30s to train his mind. He had a deep realism; he did not deceive or mislead himself, but faced the world he had to deal with AS IT REALLY IS. At the same time, he had a striking moral intelligence, and a confidence in the working of his own mind and conscience. On that DAY ONE we are now hearing so much about (Lincoln faced a DAY ONE that makes the day one of other presidents seem like a day at the beach) he, as a novice without the experience of men like us.
Seward, as a newcomer who rose through his speeches, he had the moral self-confidence to reject the proposals of both his chief military adviser Winfield Scott and his chief political adviser William Seward, and to say, no we will not haul down the flag and surrender Fort Sumter.
Templeton, Mass.: How do you think Lincoln would view the dominance of corporations in our culture today? I understand he was concerned about this when he was president. Also do you think the rise in corporate power has its roots in the Lincoln administration (in gearing up the North to fight the Civil War?
William Lee Miller: It is very hard to answer the oft-posed questions about how Lincoln would respond to some current condition. My favorite story on that count is that the late great Lincoln scholar Don Fehrebacher was asked, during the struggles over bussing for racial balance a few years ago, what Lincoln would say about "bussing" and he thought awhile and then answered : "what Lincoln would say would be: "What's a bus?""
Yes the rise in corporate power had roots in the gearing up for the Civil War. Lincoln was a Whig, a supporter of government aid to expanding industry--to "internal improvements" that supported the growth of business. He was an early capitalist, not one who wanted to preserve some rural paradise. But what he would have made when the gilded age came, and the robber barons et al--well, I would reply the way Fehrenbacher did.
Rockville, Md. : I made the pilgrimage to Springfield last summer and was most impressed with the town, cemetery, train depot, even with the new museum, which had been criticized as a Disney-fied tribute. Your thoughts?
Allen C. Guelzo: I know that some folks have objected to the displays of "rubber Lincolns," animations, and silicone effigies, rather than objects and papers in glass cases. All honor to the glass cases (and there are some in the ALPLM), but I also thoroughly enjoyed the rubber, the silicone, and the celluloid. Maybe it's because I tend to be a very visual person; maybe I'm just a product of the Age of Disney.
No one loves an archive better than I do. (I can smell a good one half-a-block away -- all that brittle papyrus dust is music to my nostrils). But I don't see why we must stall at either/or. The ALPLM has a library with a priceless collection of manuscripts and artifacts (which I have used extensively); and when I need to stretch my legs, I can walk across the street to the museum and relax among the illustrations of Lincoln's life, too. In a way, it reflects the halves of Lincoln's own character -- one all jokes and buffoonery, the other all high-minded seriousness. If he could absorb both into his personality, I think I can, too.
Alexandria, Va.: How did each of you become interested in Lincoln, and are there any other historical figures who you are also very interested in, or who you have written about?
Allen C. Guelzo: I suppose I've been interested in Lincoln for almost as long as I can remember. My first Lincoln book was the CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED comic book version of the life of Lincoln, and with that, I was hooked. When I was in high school, I wrote my senior government thesis on Lincoln's nomination in 1860, and drew the ticket as narrator for the school orchestra's performance of Aaron Copland's 'A Lincoln Portrait' (1942). (I still do the narrator's part, as recently as last week with the Illinois Symphony). I wandered away from the subject, though, until the early 90s, when I was working on a project about the idea of free will in American philosophy. I knew that Lincoln had had something to say about "necessity" and "fatalism," and so I began writing him into the book. In fact, Lincoln took over. I wrote instead 'Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer President,' in 1999, and I've splitting rails with Mr. Lincoln ever since. If there's a twelve-step process for this somewhere, I haven't found it yet.
William Lee Miller: I had already been seriously interested in Lincoln's Second Inaugural in graduate school. When I went to an Aspen seminar on "American Scriptures" in the summer of1976--the bicentennial of the Declaration--and they discussed the preamble and the Gettysburg Address and much more--but not Lincoln's Second Inaug--I challenged that omission and they said find something on it and to my astonishment, at that time, there was no book or long article that really did it--so I wrote one that attempted to do it justice. Although obscurely published, that essay got a nice bounce. Somehow David Donald saw it, and in his notes to his biography singled it out. I knew that I would come back to Lincoln and that Address. I did other things, on political ethics. But then came the time, and wrote Lincoln's Virtues, which took him up to the presidency, and now l have written President Lincoln which ends with--the Second Inaugural.
I wrote a book about James Madison and one in which the aging John Quincy Adams is the hero..
Ashburn, Va.: Day One? I'm not familiar with that term. Is it that point in time when first faced with an unimaginable crisis?
William Lee Miller: In the current campaign Hillary Clinton contrasting Obama's short experience
with her own long experience has repeatedly said that we need a president who is ready on day one. Others have picked up the phrase.
Dumfries, Va. : Why is Lincoln held in such high esteem when, as DiLorenzo says in The Real Lincoln, every other Western nation solved its problem of abolishing slavery without violence by "compensated manumision."
Allen C. Guelzo: What DiLorenzo misses is that the other abolitions were either very limited (as in the liberation of the serfs by Alexander II) or far away from the metropolitan center of those nations (the French and British abolitions were of slavery in the West Indies). What Lincoln had to face was a culturally and politically cohesive bloc of states comprising half the country, refusing to discuss even the limitation of slavery; while he had only the most feeble means of enforcement. The British and the French could do their emancipating at a distance; Lincoln had armed resistance almost literally at his doorstep. And unlike the tsar, he had no enormous army and navy to defend his decree. Bear in mind, also, that the resort to war was not Lincoln's decision, but that of the slave South. Lincoln would have been happy to have solved the slavery problem by compensation -- in fact, drew up a gradual, compensated emancipation plan as early as November, 1861 -- but no slaveholders were willing to go along with it. Mr. DiLorenzo is comparing apples and oranges, and then complaining why they don't make a salad.
Alexandria, Va.: I have recently become very interested in learning more about Lincoln, and I previously have not read any biographies, and only really know what I was taught in high school history. What are the top few "quintessential" Lincoln books/biographies that a beginner should start off reading? Of course, once I get a good foundation, I will find your books and read them too, but I'm looking for a good place for a beginner to start. Thanks!
Allen C. Guelzo: Welcome to the Lincoln fraternity. I've mentioned the books by Thomas, Donald and Burlingame in a previous post in this chat, so let those stand for my top 1-2-3. I'll add to that Gabor Boritt's great 'Lincoln and the Economics of the American Dream' (1978) and Richard Carwardine's 'Lincoln' (2004). That's not mentioning Bill's two books, but I think we're both recusing our own writings from this, aren't we?
William Lee Miller: Thanks for the good questions. This is quite a device--lots of fun, stimulating. My book President Lincoln: The Duty of a Statesman, which has just been published, is probably the last that I will write about Lincoln, but he will be a source and inspiration for whatever I write next. Thanks to all. Bill Miller
Allen C. Guelzo: Thanks so much for these great questions. It shows, if nothing else, that curiosity about this "reticent, shut-mouthed" man of so much inner privacy but so much humility and wisdom in public life continues to abound. As long as it does, then I think that we show that we all still aspire to find Lincolns among us as our leaders.
I hope you all enjoy 'Lincoln and Douglas: The Debates That Defined America,' and yes, I DID draw those maps!
"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master; this expresses my idea of democracy; whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."
A. Lincoln, 1858

Claim: Ghosts of two murdered teen girls return to kill and skin parents who failed to tell their subsequent son of the girls' existence.
Status: False.
Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2005]
girl meets a boy on her yahoo messenger.
crazy1 86:hey baby!!!
crazy1 86 had signed off.
the girl was so scared she locked alll her doors and windows. she made sure her room was secured. she was so scared if it was a joke or for real. she didnt know when he was going to come. the girl was frighten so she decided to sleep with her little sister. the girl dozed off quikly. then she heards a knock on the window. the girl slowly walked to the window. it started knocking louder. the girl looked through the windows and saw nothing. just some of the tree branches. the girl went back to bed with her sister. the bed
2 years after the the sisters deaths, the her parents got pregnant with a baby boy the girls room became a guest bedroom and the little sisters room where the murder took place became the babys room. the baby grew up to be a secessful kid. one night he was on the computer and got a instant messege.
h0tNsPiCy91:hey lil bro!!!
the boy checked the closet. he saw the carvings. was it true? he surfed the internet and everything was their about the anonymous murder in the house. the next morning the boy went downstairs. it was so queit. maybe mom and dad was sleeping.. hours later the boy found his parents in their closets skinned and hung. then he found more carvings on the ground. it says " I TOLD YOU I WASNT LYING. LITTLE BROTHER, I LOVED MOM AND DAD…. BUT THEY KEPT ME A SECRET. I CANT BELIVE IT. WELL IM
this is a death chain. if you dont send this in the next hour the parents will kill you at night. they will kill you
Origins: We began encountering this tale in our inbox in late June 2005. Almost two months later, near the end of August 2005, versions mailed to us began including this coda:
"Smith sisters murdered anonymously In 1993, two sisters were brutally murdered in the small-town community of Plainfield, wisconsin. Lisa Smith, 19; and her sister, Sarah Smith, 15; were attacked in their parent's home on the night of
ps guys..i looked it up on google and it really happened. creepy eh? i dont normally do these..but this one kind of bothered me a little bit. heres the article.
"Smith sisters murdered anonymously
In 1993, two sisters were brutally murdered in the small-town community of Plainfield, wisconsin. Lisa Smith, 19; and her sister, Sarah Smith, 15; were attacked in their parent's home on the night of
Wisconsin, is a community of less than a thousand people located in central Wisconsin. As its one claim to fame, it was the hometown of Ed Gein, a farmer who was convicted of murdering one woman in 1957 and confessed to having killed another in 1954. His notoriety came, however, from his use of dead bodies: he mutilated the corpses of women, cutting off a variety of their body parts and fashioning these into macabre items.
As one might suspect, murder in Plainfield is relatively rare. As one might further suspect, no two teen girls named Lisa and Sarah Smith were murdered in that town in 1993, nor their parents a number of years later. The story is fiction, plain and simple, just another example of the 'bad things will happen to you if you don't forward this
inconsistencies in the Internet-circulated story provide enough clues to its being fiction that even those lacking access to online news archives should be able to dismiss it as an attempt to yank their chains:
- The younger sister is murdered while the older girl is either sleeping beside her or going to the window to check on an odd sound, yet the older sibling hears nothing happening in the room and is alerted to something's being amiss only because the bed is wet and ill-smelling upon her return to it.
- Rather than scream for help or run from the room, the older girl hides in the closet.
- The older sister is pulled from the closet by her murderer and her body is returned there to be hung for her parents to discover, yet while she's in this closed space before her killer takes her from it, she carves hers and her sister's names and the time and date. If she had something with which to gouge messages into the floorboards or onto the walls, why didn't she use it to stab at her attacker and escape his clutches? Also, wasn't it thoughtful of her murderer to afford her time to finish her woodworking escapades before coming for her?
- The parents (who we presume are sleeping in the same house, since the story doesn't mention their being absent that night) hear nothing of their two daughters being murdered.
- The son (who we work out from the story is 12 years old:
"15 yearsago" less "2 yearsafter the the sisters deaths" less a nine-month gestation period) lives those twelve years in the murder room yet never once notices the message carved in the closet.
- The girls were murdered "In 1993" yet the IM'ing ghost of one of them informs her brother she died
"15 yearsago." Our calendar says it's 2005, not 2008.
- Instant message capability didn't become an online reality until 1997 when AOL introduced its Instant Messenger service. Yahoo Messenger (which the narrative tells us was used by the murderer to contact one of the sisters prior to his killing her) began in 1999. However, while IM didn't exist in 1993, chat rooms did — IRC (Internet Relay Chat) was most certainly part of the cyber world at least as far back as 1993, else I retain rather vivid yet baseless false memories of what I was doing with a great many of my nights back then.
If all this seems too silly to bother dissecting, we initially thought so too. Then we read this discussion at alexlab.com, which shows at least some folks have been taking the story somewhat seriously.

A report released yesterday by the International Olympic Committee's evaluation commission did not grade the plans offered by three cities to play host to the 2010 Winter Games, but the bid by Vancouver, British Columbia, appeared to please the panel most.
The plan by the Vancouver 2010 Bid Committee, the report said, ''demonstrates a clear vision, both for the organization of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and for post-Games legacy.''
The cities of Salzburg, Austria, and Pyeongchang, South Korea, did not receive such praise; they were criticized for their hotel plans. For Salzburg, the problems are in the great number of small hotels spread over a large area. For Pyeongchang, the concern is not enough hotel rooms.
''For us, this is a big boost,'' John Furlong, the president of the Vancouver bid committee, said in a telephone interview from Milan. ''The language of the report is extremely positive.'' He said he was pleased that the report praised Vancouver's plan for athlete accommodations.
The I.O.C. is scheduled to make its choice in Prague on July 2. A victory by Vancouver could hurt New York City's chances to be chosen for the 2012 Summer Games because it is unlikely that consecutive Olympics would be held in North America. Richard SandomirContinue reading the main story

Production of synthetic fluid inclusions in the H2O-CH4-NaCl system using laser-ablation in fluorite and quartz
Dubessy, Jean; Guillaume, Damien; Buschaert, Stéphane; Fabre, Cécile; Pironon, Jacques
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 12 Number 6 (2000), p. 1083 - 1091

published: Nov 17, 2000

Abstract Synthesis of fluid inclusions is made by the pre-formation of cavities with a diameter greater than 10 μm by laser ablation using a Nd-YAG pulsed laser focused through a Cassegrain objective. Ablation cavities inside the crystals are connected to the surface by microcracks, which serve as the fluid channels. In fluorite crystals, the microcracks heal at 200°C during four-week experiments and produce large inclusions corresponding to the ablation cavities and smaller ones in the microcracks. In quartz crystals, cavity sealing occurs by quartz overgrowths on faces perpendicular to the c axis at 300°C during four weeks. No cavity sealing occurs at 200°C in quartz. Microthermometric data demonstrate that fluid inclusions have trapped representative samples of the experimental fluids. Raman and infrared spectra indicate that fluid inclusions synthesised by our laser technique may be suitable for spectroscopic analysis.

Thousands of university students waving yellow ribbons and "Democracy Now" banners boycotted their classes Monday to protest Beijing's decision to maintain control over Hong Kong elections, marking an escalation of the city-island's pro-democracy movement that now is taking aim at local pro-China billionaires.
Chanting "Reject fake elections," the students marched at Chinese University and said their boycott will continue all week as they gather en masse at government offices and headquarters. The protesters said it's the first phase of a battle that will include occupying Hong Kong's central business district in the next few weeks to tell the city's elite to stop backing China.
Meanwhile, dozens of Hong Kong's top business leaders are meeting with China's Communist Party officials in Beijing to discuss shoring up support for Chinese policies in the semi-autonomous city-state.

In early January, I let the downtown community know that we would be giving our six-month notice at the end of the month if our financial situation did not turn around. It is now almost 6 weeks later and I thought I would provide a "Downtown Store Update for February".
First off – Thank You!
We not only met the financial target I set for January but we surpassed it. The first week after the announcement of "Use Us or Lose Us" the sales were at a very nice level. It looked very promising. As the month aged, the sales kind of dropped a bit – about 15%.
While this boost was a welcome and wonderful surprise, we need to maintain this momentum. A day, week or month does not mean a turnaround. It has to be sustainable, consistent, and right for everyone. We are striving to make this a viable location and it is still necessary that we take things on a month to month basis.
Our daily sales are still above the level we were last year but well below the daily average sales of January. February is a tough month for retailers since all the costs are the same but two to three fewer days of sales.
As mentioned in an earlier post, we would like to maintain the daily sales of January but that does not look like it will be reachable with the sales so far this month. The present sales for our downtown store are 15% below January daily sales but we are on target to meet my original target (as long as they continue to maintain these sales figures for February).
Is that kind of confusing? When I set out the original targets in early January I set out conservative targets. These targets were still very much below what we needed to have a financially viable business at the downtown location but the intention was to set targets that would be achievable and move in a positive direction. You have come out to support us and even though some of the support seems to have faded, the daily sales that we are experiencing for February should meet our target.
We appreciate your support and we look forward to continuing to serve the downtown community!

still relevant.At the moment it shows me as the Administrator and under the Advanced tab you can do other things
If you then navigate to the Control Panel\User Accounts on the left pane there is another advanced user accounts which shows a defauly profile then me as user with the size of my user files although it doesn't actually say that and an update of mine
