Through the DOE's Building Energy Codes Program (BECP), every dollar the DOE has spent on building energy codes over the past two decades has resulted in $400 in energy cost savings, according to a new report.
Cumulative full-fuel cycle, or FFC, energy savings from 1992 to 2012 are estimated to be approximately 4.8 quads and cost savings to consumers have been more than $44 billion.
These savings have resulted primarily from the program's activities which upgrade the model energy codes, accelerate their adoption by states and localities, and improve code compliance by means of various software tools, and other types of training and technical support.
The federal budgetary cost of the program over this same period (1992-2012) was estimated to be around $110 million.

Last Updated | 10:30 p.m. On Wednesday, as a Haitian judge continued to question 10 Americans whose faith-based mission to Haiti has landed them in legal trouble, the work of volunteer ministers from the Church of Scientology was lauded in a report on American television.
In the case of the detained Baptists, whose plan to take 33 Haitian children out of the country last week without official permission led to their arrest, a prosecutor told Reuters that a decision about whether to file charges will be announced on Thursday.
My colleagues Ginger Thompson and Shaila Dewan reported on Tuesday that several of the children were given to the Americans by their parents, and so were not orphans, as the group had initially claimed. Those parents also denied that they had given their children up for adoption and thought that they were only accepting an offer of a free education.
On Wednesday, CNN reported that interpreters who worked with the team said that the group's leader, Laura Silsby, must have known that at least some of the children were not orphans "because they translated conversations from Creole to English between Silsby and the parents" of children they entrusted to her.

Nine years ago, Greg Simon, M.D., took a sabbatical from his work as an
investigator at the Center for Health Studies at the Group Health Cooperative
in Seattle. He went to live in Chile. There, he came to know Chilean
psychiatrist and researcher Ricardo Araya, M.D., Ph.D.
What Simon and Araya did not anticipate at the time was that they, along
with other Chilean colleagues, were going to alter dramatically the delivery
of depression treatment in Chile.
It all started with Simon and Araya discussing the plight of depressed,
low-income women in Chile. They wondered whether a depression-treatment
program introduced into government-funded primary-care clinics might help
these women since such clinics are the major source of health care for the
poor in Chile. And because these clinics are underfunded and underresourced,
such a program, they envisioned, would be a simple add-on to operation as
Several nurses or social workers at each clinic would be trained to provide
group psychotherapy and teach problem-solving techniques to depressed women
visiting the clinic, as well as monitor the women's treatment progress and act
as the women's care managers. If a patient were severely or persistently
depressed, her care manager would consult with a clinic doctor about
treatment. If the doctor decided to prescribe an antidepressant for her, it
would be generic, not name brand, which is considerably cheaper in Chile. And
if the doctor decided that she needed a psychiatric assessment, it would be
Simon and Araya then applied for a grant from the U.S. National Institute
of Mental Health (NIMH) to study whether their conceptualized program might be
clinically effective. The grant came through after Simon returned to Seattle,
so it was Ricardo and his colleagues in Chile who conducted the study, with
some long-distance consultation from Simon.
A total of 240 women diagnosed with major depression agreed to participate
in the study. They were randomized to either the depression-treatment program
or usual care in a primary-care clinic, which might include antidepressant
medication or a referral for a psychiatric assessment.
Subjects in the intervention group showed large and significantly better
symptom and functional outcomes at three and six months relative to those in
usual care, the investigators reported in the March 22, 2003,
Although the researchers are not sure why subjects in the intervention
group did better than those in the control group, they believe that it was
due, at least in part, to the use of antidepressants. Antidepressants, they
learned, had been prescribed more often, and for a longer duration, for the
intervention group than for the control group. However, when the researchers
adjusted their data for antidepressant use, subjects in the intervention group
still did significantly better. The investigators suspected that group
psychotherapy and systematic follow-up also contributed to the intervention
group's superior outcome.
After that, Simon, Araya, and their group set out to conduct a study of how
the costs of their program compared with the costs of the "usual"
depression care offered in the government-funded, primary-care clinics. This
inquiry was also financed by NIMH.
Their program turned out to be more expensive, but only marginally so, they
reported in the August American Journal of Psychiatry. Or as Simon
explained during an interview, "The extra cost per person per year to
keep them depression free was 10,000 Chilean pesos—that is, on the order
of $25." This compares very favorably with the costs of innovative
depression-treatment programs in the United States, which usually cost a few
hundred dollars extra per person per year, Simon said.
In fact, Simon explained, "You are starting in the United States with
a place where people are getting moderately good care, and you are trying to
change moderately good to good, but in the developing world, you are usually
starting from a place where people aren't getting any care at all, so there is
a lot more room for improvement. And since there is a lot more room for
improvement, with a relatively modest investment, you get more out of
Then came the biggest challenge—getting the Chilean government to
implement the program in its public health care system.
"There were both scientific and political issues," Simon
explained. "You have to have the evidence that it is effective, but you
also have to establish connections with people who have the decision-making
power. So Ricardo and I were really working both of those issues—doing
the study to generate the scientific evidence, but also working with people in
the ministry of health to develop relationships there, to make it
And it did. The program is now being implemented in the Chilean public
primary-care system, which serves about a third of the Chilean population,
Simon said.
Flush with victory, Simon, Araya, and their colleagues are asking: Might
the same program also prove to be clinically effective in Chile's privately
funded health care sector? "We're trying to get some funding to find
out," he said.
Finally, might the same program also benefit depressed women in other Latin
American countries? Simon, Araya, and their team would like to determine that
as well.

Motivate This!
My new column takes off from the misguided decision of one university to fire up its faculty and staff with a motivational speaker. It may be that $20,000 for ten speeches was actually a pretty good deal, given the usual rates. But you know who would have been cheaper? Matt Foley, "living in a van down by the river."
Usually I think of Chris Farley as a strangely talentless perfomer, but this bit seemed rather inspired.
See also "Dysfunction Junction, What's Your Function?" (my column from a year ago about the field of Oprah Studies).
3 Comments
Actually, as much as I enjoyed watching Matt Foley again, probably the best response to Steve Beck and the Southern Illinois University's motivation efforts would be these guys: Despair, Inc., inventor of the Demotivator posters and calendars. One of their classic uplifting products is a lovely, inspiring beach landscape with the caption: "If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon."
Check out their other inspirational jolts of truth ("Quality: The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march") at www.despair.com
Talentless was kind of the joke, wasn't it? A kind of regular, bulk-order talentless.
Anyway, I didn't find that very funny, either.
That's one of the few old SNL clips that I actually do find funny. It's a fantastic bit: over the top, but in just the right amount, and still cutting after all these years.

Insights from the UK and beyond
from The Great Debate UK:
Strong-arm management tactics harm staff and productivity
- Gary Miles is Head of Open Programmes and Events at Roffey Park – a provider of Leadership and Management courses. The opinons expressed are his own.-
As the controversy around alleged bullying in Downing Street continues, we're seeing a stream of features in the media looking at the issue of bullying in the workplace: what is or is not bullying behaviour, why it happens, where victimised employees can turn to for help. Indeed, perhaps the one positive outcome of all this has been to bring a serious issue of working life to the forefront of the collective consciousness.
For me, however, there is a fundamental question that should not be left out of the debate, and that is to ask not what constitutes bullying, but rather what constitutes good leadership - leadership that is strong and effective, constructive not destructive. In my view, managers - regardless of how high or low they are on the organisational ladder - have failed as leaders if they have to resort to throwing things around and exhibiting bad temper.
Yes, leaders need to be able to talk realistically (indeed, passionately) about the challenges facing individuals and the business; where performance needs to improve, they need to be straight and 'tell it as it is.' However, this can be done in a respectful way; shouting and physical displays of anger simply do not have a place in the modern working world and should go the way of other forms of offensive behaviour associated with days gone by.
from The Great Debate UK:
Workplace bullying: the dark side of organisational life
- Dr Linda Alker is a princpal lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University Business School. Her areas of expertise include organisational change, leadership and workplace stress. The opinions expressed are her own. -
Workplace bullying is identified as one of the greatest sources of stress that you can put upon your employees, although organisations and managers are often slow to react to cases of bullying because bullying is not always accepted as a credible label for the kind of abuse that employees face in the workplace.
How big a problem is workplace bullying?
A political row is brewing after allegations of bullying were aimed at Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The claims, made in a book and published in a Sunday newspaper, accused Brown of several abusive outbursts, including grabbing staff by the lapels, shoving them aside and shouting at them.
Downing Street has strenuously denied that the "malicious allegations" are true, while Conservative leader David Cameron has said he expects there to be an inquiry into the claims.

Robert Dubinski (center) with his parents, Bob & Karen.
On a Friday night in June, Bob and Karen Dubinski's 16-year-old son, Robert, had severe stomach pain. They knew he needed medical attention, but had no idea what a harrowing night they were in for. At NCH's Emergency Room, Robert was seen quickly, taken for a CT scan and diagnosed with acute appendicitis.
At every step, Karen and Bob were told exactly what was going on, and they soon heard that their son needed an emergency appendectomy. Karen says, "Robert was in surgery with Dr. William Soper by 11 pm. He was very friendly and explained everything to us before and after the surgery." He also discovered that the appendix was about to burst, and it was removed just in time to prevent a more serious medical crisis. Three days later, Robert was discharged, and he has made a full recovery.
The NCH Foundation soon received a letter from the Dubinskis with a generous donation enclosed. Bob's words explain it best: "We were very pleased with all those who were involved in caring for our son, from the ER team to the surgeon, to the nurses after his surgery and during his care. It's very comforting to have such a fine facility right here in Arlington Heights to meet our family's medical needs."

The American Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Leon Botstein, renders a spot-on version of the Concertino for Harp and Chamber Orchestra, written in 1952. Soloist Sara Cutler gives a fleet-fingered and sometimes playful interpretation of this lithe and charming work. The Sextet in C Major, written in 1935, provides hints of Richard Strauss in the horn melodies of its first movement, while its finale is a distinctly European trope on American jazz, a la Weill or Hindemith.
Todd Crow performs Six pieces for Piano, written in 1945. One of these, titled Cloches (Bells), is particularly affecting, a mournful elegy in remembrance of Dohnanyi's son, who died in a Russian POW camp during the Second World War. The tolling of funeral bells throughout the work is set against an angst-filled soaring melody. This recording demonstrates that Dohnanyi's music, consummately skillful and wide-ranging in its emotional content, is certainly deserving of more frequent performances.

Model 205
Chamber Grand
In the early 1980's, we redesigned the Steingraeber 205 on the basis of a design by Steingraeber's founding father - THE design which gave rise to the sound profile of Liszt's Steingraeber grand. This model is popular for recording sessions, conservatories, music festivals of Chamber, Jazz or New Music and is often requested for Lieder recitals. What makes this instrument so special is the subtle transparency of its tone. The 205 grand marks the realization of an unusual technical concept: Whereas the arched, well-sprung soundboard is comparatively slim, the design permits extremely long strings. Together, these two features make for dynamic diversity with a constant clarity of tone, whether the voicing of the hammer heads tend towards the lyrical or the brilliant. Demanding pianists also value the professional action of this grand which has one of the highest repetition speeds available. The basic version is Model 205 N Classical with three pedals (sostenuto), three lid props and large brass castors. There are countless variations available, ranging from the Classicist and Renaissance to the Baroque and Rococo, the rim of which has a sweeping lower edge. Photographs of all these styles are available upon request.
|Classicism: Columns, capitals and pilasters are fashioned as if by an architect. Small grooves and curves give this timeless model its elegance.
|Classical: A classic grand piano.
|Studio: Especially suited for use in music institutions with an extra wide music desk (including lateral pencil tray), sturdy lacquered frame and straightened piano lid. Available in anthracite, scratch resistant, finish.

Comic Effect #47, which contains my article on how I got into collecting (as opposed to just reading) comic books:
When I was a little kid back in the 1970s, I was absolutely fascinated with super-heroes and would indulge my obsession at every available opportunity. Naturally, I watched The Superfriends, the Adam West Batman, the George Reeves Adventures of Superman, and the old Marvel cartoons (the ones with the Jack Kirby comic book panels and almost no animation). However, I was so hungry for super entertainment that I also consumed it in a number of other, less conventional forms. This included anxiously anticipating each installment of "The Dynamite Duo" in Dynamite magazine and watching entire episodes of The Electric Company for the sole purpose of seeing the incredibly brief, incredibly lame Spider-Man segments.
My older brother wasn't into comics (he spent his leisure time building car models, digging holes, and inventing strange games for us to play such as "magnets et cetera" and "bucket ball"), but thanks to a cousin who collected Iron Man, Savage Sword of Conan, Vampirella, The Amazing Spider-Man, and a whole slew of other titles, I started reading of the exploits of men (and women) in tights at a very early age. At family gatherings, while the older kids went off to who knows where and the adults watched television and chatted away in the kitchen, I would squirrel myself away in my cousin's treasure trove of a room for hours on end, delighting in fantastic worlds that were far more interesting than my mundane existence. (My cousin also collected Playboy, but I digress…)
Eventually, I began accumulating comic books of my very own. From time to time my mom would take me to Half-Price Books, where I could purchase comics for half of cover price (duh), meaning I could get issues of Captain America, Fantastic Four, Batman, and others for around 10 to 15 cents each. I would also pop into 7-Eleven and check out the spinner racks, but they had less of a selection (new releases held no special significance to me at the time) and they charged (gasp!) cover price.
When I got old enough to earn an allowance and ride my bike to the store, my trips to 7-Eleven increased exponentially, and each time I would ride home toting a sack of Marvels and, with increasing frequency, DCs. My pile of comics grew over the years and, with the exception of the occasional trade with a neighborhood kid, I kept my books and accumulated something of a collection. However, it wasn't until I discovered the joy of subscribing that I truly became a collector. Up until then, I was just a random buyer, an avid reader, and an eccentric pack rat.
This all changed in 1983. In various issues of DC comic books there were ads offering one-year subscriptions for the following series: Batman, Superman, Firestorm, The Flash, Wonder Woman, and Captain Carrot. I was intrigued by the thought of getting comics in the mail but wary of making such a commitment (ah, the quandaries of youth), so I settled on a single title. After pondering in agony for several minutes, I decided on The Flash. Being a young male, I wasn't about to subscribe to Wonder Woman (a girl book) or Captain Carrot (not a real super-hero). Batman and Superman were stars of a number of different titles, so subscribing to either one of their self-titled books alone didn't seem all that special. I liked Firestorm, but Flash had more history and was a cooler character, so off went my $4.95 for 12 issues of The Flash.
More agony ensued as I waited the obligatory eight to 10 weeks for delivery of the first issue of my measly one-title subscription. Eventually, issue #323 came to my house, and I was therefore the happiest teenager alive. The gorgeous red, yellow, and black cover (penciled by the inimitable Carmine Infantino) featured Flash and his arch nemesis Reverse Flash running toward each other at full speed (natch). The insides were just as exciting as the cover as The Flash had to leave his bride-to-be (Fiona Webb) at the altar in order to pursue a newly returned Reverse Flash, who had killed his first wife (Iris). The cliffhanger ending (featuring Flash in a chokehold) left me breathlessly awaiting the next issue (and the next). Needless to say, I was devastated by the news of the cancellation of the title with issue #350.
Despite The Flash being canceled (not to mention the character's death in issue #8 of Crisis on Infinite Earths), I began a lifelong fascination with the Scarlet Speedster and proceeded over the next few years to hunt down every issue of the series. In addition to turning me into a collector, the subscription also hooked me on the soap opera aspect of comic books, and I began putting together runs of an assortment of titles, including Firestorm, Daredevil, and Green Lantern. Prior to the subscription, I preferred Done in One stories because they were much better suited to my haphazard buying habits.
Eventually, my rabid interest in comic books led me to become a manager of Lone Star Comics, an owner of Fantastic Comics & Cards and, currently, a member of The Comics Buyer's Guide review crew – all evidence of a fanaticism born from a simple 12-issue subscription form that I filled out over 25 years ago.

Avoid Fetal "Keepsake" Images, Heartbeat Monitors
|Printer-friendly PDF (354 KB)
Get Consumer Updates by E-mail
While ultrasonic fetal scanning is generally considered a safe medical procedure, the use of it for unapproved and unintended purposes raises concerns.
The use of ultrasound imaging devices for producing fetal keepsake videos is viewed as an unapproved use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Doppler ultrasound heartbeat monitors are not intended for over-the-counter (OTC) use. Both products are approved for use only with a prescription.
"Although there are no known risks of ultrasound imaging and heartbeat monitors, the radiation associated with them can produce effects on the body," says Robert Phillips, Ph.D., a physicist with FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). "When ultrasound enters the body, it heats the tissues slightly. In some cases, it can also produce small pockets of gas in body fluids or tissues."
Phillips says the long-term effects of tissue heating and of the formation of partial vacuums in a liquid by high-intensity sound waves (cavitation) are not known.
Using ultrasound equipment only through a prescription ensures that pregnant women will receive professional care that contributes to their health and to the health of their babies, and that ultrasound will be used when medically indicated.
Fetal Keepsake Videos: "Performing prenatal ultrasounds without medical oversight may put a mother and her unborn baby at risk," says Phillips. "The bottom line is: Why take a chance with your baby's health for the sake of a video?"
Fetal keepsake videos are viewed as a problem because there is no medical benefit derived from the exposure. Further, there is no control on how long a single imaging session will take or how many sessions will occur.
FDA is aware of entrepreneurs that are commercializing ultrasonic imaging of fetuses by making keepsake videos. In some cases, the ultrasound machine may be used for as long as an hour to get a video of the fetus.
Doppler Ultrasound Heartbeat Monitors: Similar concerns surround the OTC sale of Doppler ultrasound heartbeat monitors. These devices, which people use to listen to the heartbeat of a fetus, are currently marketed legally as "prescription devices" that should only be used by or under the supervision of a health care professional.
"When the product is purchased over the counter and used without prior consultation with a health care professional, there is no oversight of how the device is used and little or no medical benefit derived from the exposure," Phillips says. "The number of sessions or the length of a session to which a fetus is exposed is uncontrolled, thus raising the potential for harm to the fetus."
This article appears on FDA's Consumer Updates page, which features the latest on all FDA-regulated products.

What is the first name of European superstar Colin Montgomerie's wife, in which the vowels outnumber the consonants?
Over-Speed Training.
Roughly half of the muscle fibers in your body are slow twitch muscle fibers and the other half are fast twitch muscle fibers. These fast twitch muscles lie semi-dormant until they are activated by an action that moves them faster than normal. When you swing the Speed Whoosh several times in a row at speeds of 20+ mph faster than your own driver, this action activates the fast twitch muscle fibers and readies them for action. Then, when you pick up your own driver and hit a tee shot, you can expect to add 7 to 10 mph in club head speed instantly, translating into a tee shot flying 21 to 30 yards farther.
Increase Your Club Head
Set the Magnetic Timing Ball at the end of the shaft and swing the Speed Whoosh six times in a row as fast as you can. You'll hear the sound of increasing club head speed by the "WHOOSH" it makes when you swing it. This will immediately activate the fast twitch muscle fibers used to swing your golf club. Switch to your own driver, and you'll increase your club head speed 7 to 10 mph instantly! Repeat this action regularly to further add to your swing speed and maximize your distance off the tee!
Perfect Your Timing
Place the Magnetic Timing Ball at the grip end of the Speed Whoosh. The magnetic feature built into the ball and grip will keep the ball in place in your back swing. Swing the Speed Whoosh so that the Magnetic Timing Ball releases properly in the down swing, hitting the end of the shaft at the bottom of your swing. If the Magnetic Timing Ball hits the shaft end too early, you need to hold the release longer in the down swing. If it hits too late, release the club earlier. This feature is an incredible tool which gives you immediate feedback with the ability to instantly improve your swing.
- Weighs the same weight as a standard driver
- Swings 20+ mph faster than your own driver
- Activates the fast twitch muscle fibers in your body to swing your driver instantly 7 to 10 mph faster after only six swings with the Speed Whoosh
- Can immediately add 21 to 30 yards to your carry distance with your driver
- Used by many of the top Players on the PGA Tour
- Perfects the timing of the release through the Magnetic Timing Ball
- Allows you to hear the sound of increasing club head speed by the "Whoosh" it makes as you swing it

This tool really works for me. I use it as a warm up before every round, not only does it get the right muscles flexing but gets your head into where your swing should be before you hit #1.
It is also an excellent way to working on your timing of head, hands, target at the correct time.

Comments about Momentus Speed Whoosh:
[...] It does not increase distance. For a person who has breathing problems like me, it is difficult to swing 6 times. Thus, I would not recommend it to senior golfers. In fact, I am not recommending it to anyone. It is more of an expensive toy rather than a training device.

It might come as a shock to some, but there was once a point in time when the Raiders and Chargers actually had a rivalry. Sure, the Silver and Black beat the Bolts more often than not, but that didn't stop both fan bases from exchanging verbal jabs throughout the week leading up to the game.
To this day, Jim Rome still references those two weeks out of the year when his talk show was high jacked by Raider Nation and Bandwagon Bolties who ran more smack than the host himself.
These days the trash talk is minimal. Not that it doesn't exist. It's just irrelevant.
Naturally you'll get some heated exchanges on message boards. The stands are still ripe with the fruits discontent no matter the venue. None the less, when a team has won 12 straight contests over their "rivals" it is hard to call the game meaningful.
Ignore the last six years of double digit losses in the East Bay. If the Raiders managed to stick it to the Chargers at least once a year, you'd still hear a sense of excitement among the most infamous fans in football.
Instead, all you get is recycled material devoid of imagination.
Raider fans remind Charger fans that they still have an empty trophy case. Charger fans remind Raider fans that they might have three Lombardis, but those things are as dusty as the Billy Joe Tolliver jerseys hanging in closets throughout San Diego.
In 2009, Tom Cable has his team half way to yet another year of 10 or more L's. Meanwhile, Norv Turner is setting his misguided fans up for yet another season of mediocrity.
Talking trash is what makes football great for fans. The freedom to polish off a case of beer before noon and lighting up every dope who strolls by in a powder blue Tomlinson jersey used to be enjoyable.
Now it's just pathetic.
You can't really get under the skin of a fan base that takes your team about as serious as JaMarcus Russell does his job.
Again, it's not even about how terrible my Raiders have been the last six years. It's about how terrible my Raiders have been against the Chargers the last six years.
Some things are eternal.
If you live in Columbus and only win one game a year, it had better be against Michigan. If your beloved Cowgirls only taste victory once, it had better be at the hands of the Redskins.
Not saying that what the Raiders and Chargers have is on par with the above mentioned clashes. Most Raider fans would sooner see the Silver and Black defeat the Steelers, Broncos, Jets or even 49ers. It's just that the jeers of bandwagon Dolt supporters have grown exponentially in recent years and the time has come to shut their fair-weather mouths.
Consider the fact that Philip Rivers has never lost to the Raiders. That's right. The most arrogant brat in the NFL not named Cutler has something in common with Al Davis. He owns the Raiders.
Cable might have his team on a direct flight towards drafting Taylor Mays, but that doesn't mean he can't take a little Bolt booty en route.
This team has a long way to go before it can be considered a relevant franchise again. After this year, who knows what the future holds. All I know is that after Sunday, I'd better be able to run some trash come this time next year.

What to do for static hair?
Posted by Rino Jasper on October 11, 2009 in Hair Myths
We've already covered the issue of flyaway hair, but what about static? There are few things more annoying than pulling off your woolly winter cap only to find your hair standing on end.
Although static plagues our hair most often in wintertime, it can also strike in any dry climate.
Basically, the drier your hair, the more susceptible you are to static. So the next piece of advice would be, naturally, to keep your hair in prime moisturized condition no matter what the season. Easier said than done!
Here are a few quick and easy ways to send the static packing:
- Condition your hair on a regular basis: this means using conditioner after every time you shampoo. If your hair is normal to dry, applying a hair mask at least once a week; if it's oily, use more sparingly.
- Check your shampoo. If it is leeching all of your hair's natural oils out, then it's also opening the door for static. Choose a gentle, frequent-use shampoo, such as Beauty-id's Vitamin & Kiwi Daily Shampoo.
- To avoid being caught off guard, carry a travel-size bottle of hairspray in your purse. (Choose a brand that has an alcohol-free formula.) When the static veers its heads, just spritz a couple of times and pat it down. An alternative to hairspray is a de-tangler or leave-on conditioner, also in spray form. A light wax also does the trick.
- Lightly spritz some hair spray on a flat brush and brush your hair; this will cut down on the static effect. Another trick is to spray the inside of your hats with hair spray before putting them on.
- If you have longer hair, tie it back, smoothing down the flyaway parts with a bit of de-tangler or wax.

When reports began to trickle in early this week that Martin St. Louis might be traded for Ryan Callahan, I, like the rest of you, laughed them off. Now? It doesn't feel like a joking matter anymore.
Let's go back. For those of you who haven't been following along, the St. Louis story broke when Boomer Esiason, via twitter, said a Ryan Callahan trade was imminent, and gave hints about the player moving to the New York Rangers – hints that added up to Martin St. Louis. Not many people were taking these rumors seriously.
Why did we not take them seriously? Because in order for Martin St. Louis-for-Ryan Callahan to be true, several conditions would also have to be true, conditions that included cartoon villainry not seen since The Return of Jafar. We all knew there was no way Yzerman would trade St. Louis for Callahan – Callahan is a good player, but he's a far cry from St. Louis. So in order for the rumor to be true, St. Louis would have to be the one forcing the issue, by not only demanding a trade, but also by demanding a trade specifically to the New York Rangers. A trade that, make no mistake, will hurt the Lightning.
By morning, Nick Kypreos had tweeted that St. Louis had indeed requested a trade sometime in early January. And now? Well, it seems our beloved Marty St. Louis has grown into the cartoon villain of your choice, because the rumors appear to be largely true.
We all knew St. Louis's feelings were hurt after he was left off Canada's Olympic team in early January. The most overused phrase by reporters about St. Louis during that time was: "he's a proud guy." And, of course, we know that's true. It's what makes Marty St. Louis Marty St. Louis.
Unfortunately, what makes Steve Yzerman Steve Yzerman is that he makes hard decisions, regardless of the situation, and regardless of hurt feelings. After he was out-voted by his Team Canada selection committee, Yzerman left St. Louis off the team the same as he'd have left off any other player on which he was out-voted. For Yzerman to put St. Louis on the team in that situation would not only have been playing favorites, it would also have been unethical. Neither of which are things you'll find on Yzerman's resume. (Imagine, for instance, that Yzerman had named Eric Brewer to Team Canada, despite being out-voted by his own committee. We'd all have cried "Favoritism." In St. Louis's case, there wouldn't have been an outcry, but the same would've been true.)
So that's where we stand. Marty St. Louis wants to be a Ranger. What's worse, his teammates know he wants to be a Ranger. What's worse, he's their captain. What's worse, almost half of them, his teammates, are getting their first real NHL experience right now.
Remember how we all thought the worst adversity this team would face this year was Steven Stamkos's broken leg? Nope. This new adversity is an absolute perfect storm. And one way or another, it needs resolution.
Nothing would make me happier than firing up one of my many preferred hockey websites tomorrow (or in the next five minutes, actually) and seeing Marty St. Louis put this whole thing to bed. I'd love to see him say, "I was angry, but it's over, and I'm happy to be a member of the Lightning and I don't want to go anywhere." Unfortunately, that's not in my crystal ball.
Here's the problem: It's unlikely that his teammates are just now hearing about this mess. Small rumors have likely been going around the locker room since early January. Since January 9th, which is about the time we can assume wind of Marty's trade request hit the locker room, the Lightning have gone 7-8-1. Coincidence?
A lot of those performances have been lackluster at best. Of course, there could be many factors involved in the Bolts going cold. They're a young team, after all, and this is the first stretch run of most of their NHL careers. But how about this for a factor: their captain's heart is in New York. And they know it.
So maybe resolution means St. Louis is traded. And maybe the sooner it happens, the better. The sooner this team is looking at Steven Stamkos as their captain, the better. They'll lose an incredible player, and a player who's been the heart and soul of this team for a very long time. But they might regain their focus.

Congress vs NSA and Google links

AHuxley (892839) writes "Consumer Watchdog, an advocacy group focused in recent years on Google's privacy practices, has called on a congressional investigation into Googles secretive relationship with the US government.
In a letter sent on Monday they note ".. NSA also has legal power to force Google to hand over the private information of its users [ie signals intelligence information.] How Google executives handle this potentially conflicted relationship is largely unknown: neither Google nor the NSA are talking."
A $26.7 million dollar renewable sole-source contract for Google Earth spatial imaging software with the secretive National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency(NGA).

Cuba v United States: don't mention the politics
The United States face Cuba in Havana on Saturday; the first time in over 60 years that they have played on the Caribbean island and given the political tensions between the two countries it is a fixture that has caught the imagination of the media — unusually for two countries where soccer is far from the national obsession.
The problem, for reporters, with stories like this is that the politics is the only really interesting aspect to the game but no-one involved will ever say anything remotely spicy on the topic.
It is one of those situations where reporters try in vain to get some words on the off-the-field context while the players, quite understandably, insist it is only about the three points, just another game etc, etc.
I was out at the U.S training session at Barry University yesterday and had a chat with captain Carlos Bocanegra and forward Clint Dempsey and while both were looking forward to their trip to Cuba — a place most Americans can't travel to due to the embargo — neither wanted to talk politics and frankly, why should they? They are paid to win football matches and occasionally to talk to the media about football. U.S foreign policy isn't part of the deal.

I've lost my heart in Chicago... to Chicago!

I am in Chicago. I love it. My family is here and I feel like being back home. Even though I apparently develop some strange difficulties over here: Ordering food seems to be quite a challenge, riding a bus made me face one of the most unfriendly Americans I've ever met and getting to a shooting range is apparently much more difficult than one would believe. Still, I could live here. Not anywhere, but for sure in Hinsdale. That's America as I've always imagined it to be: great neighborhood, breathtaking houses, friendly people who will give you a 'we-are-family'-feeling. You gotta love Hinsdale!

Against all odds and despite the high level of weirdness, I have started sewing a few months ago. It's really fun, but pretty unbelievable, since I've surely never been someone, who could enjoy being such a girl. So, I started sewing this and that… and I have to admit, the first few trials were a pretty sad experience for everyone involved. I guess, my poor boyfriend suffered the most. He tried to be polite and not break my heart at the first (ugly) piece. Thanks, baby! Anyways, you were right… and since it is pretty impressing, how ugly something could actually be, I can't hold it back from you:

When we had our two days break in Bozen, we stayed at the exclusive Hotel Gasthof Kohlern in 1130 Meters. It was impressive! We enjoyed the silence and our room with no TV as well as the stunning view over Bozen and the Alps. A couple of years ago, they built a small, but very decent Spa and Wellness area, where we relaxed wonderfully while watching the worst storm outside. You probably just saw the pictures in the blog.

It took us six days, 360 km, a lot of strength, nerves, muscles, and an Achilles tendonitis. But aboveall this, we had the time of our lives and happend to find some of the most beautiful places we've ever seen.
What we enjoyed most, was the silence of nature. Even though those six days were one of THE adventures of our lives, I believe pictures can say more than words. Check out the impressions:

Mandarin Minute: Lo's historic first save
Mandarin Minute: Chia-Jen Lo's 1st career save
In this Astros' version of the Mandarin Minute, Howard Chen discusses Chia-Jen Lo's historic first save from earlier in the week.
This past Tuesday, with the Astros holding on to a 5-4 lead over Oakland in the eighth, Lo was summoned from the bullpen. He got through the eighth inning, no problem. It was in the ninth inning, where things got hairy. The reason things became somewhat more nerve-wracking was because there were two balls that were close to becoming home runs. One ball was hit to the warning track. Then, Chris Young hit a ball that came what seemed like inches away from the foul pole in left field. If it hit the foul pole, it would be a home run. However, it was foul and Lo ended up striking out Young and also got the save.
It was historic because it was Lo's first career big-league save. Since he's the Astros' first-ever Taiwanese player, it also signifies the first-ever Astros save by a player from Taiwan. And now, there are rumblings around the baseball world, that Lo very well could be the Astros' closer, for the time being.

Leupold Yosemite series optics are designed with smaller-handed users in mind. Full sized binoculars can be difficult to grasp for younger users and viewers with smaller than average hand sizes, but compact binoculars might not provide the viewing power that these same viewers need. So just like you'd travel to Yosemite to show your kids the great outdoors in one of its most glorious incarnations (or yourself if you feel the need to treat yourself to a true visual spectacle), you use the Leupold Yosemite to both enjoy things with your kids and on your own. There's enough power for you and enough versatility and ease of use for them. Leupold has developed the Yosemite binocular, a smaller-frame pair of binoculars that sacrifice no magnification power or clarity for their size. These Leupold binoculars also feature a more narrow inter-pupillary distance for youthful binocular users. Yosemite binoculars can be purchased in several different finishes, including Black, Natural, and Mossy Oak Treestand. Available in both a 6x and an 8x variety, the Leupold Yosemite series provide full-bodied observation in a diminutive package.

ORCHARD PARK, NY ( buffalobills.com ) The marquee matchup was the Bills offense against the Jets defense in a key AFC East clash at Ralph Wilson Stadium Sunday. That battle was clearly won by the visitors as New York's defense forced three turnovers and kept one of the league's highest-scoring offenses in neutral in a convincing and pivotal 27-11 victory.
Both defenses carried the play for most of the first half as both units recorded takeaways.
The Jets offense had a long, methodical drive as their possession took up most of the first quarter after Buffalo's three-and-out to start the game. But on a 2nd-and-goal from the seven Mark Sanchez overthrew Dustin Keller and Jairus Byrd intercepted the pass in the back of the end zone taking it out to the Buffalo 21.
The Bills offense couldn't capitalize however, with their drive stalling just beyond midfield.
The game remained scoreless until the latter stages of the second quarter, when the Jets marched 44 on 10 plays. On 3rd-and-8 at the Bills 31, a Mark Sanchez pass over the middle was tipped by Dwan Edwards and appeared to be intercepted by George Wilson, but it was overturned on replay review. That call gave the Jets a 49-yard field goal and Nick Folk put it up and through for the first points of the game with 2:55 left in the second quarter (3-0).
Ryan Fitzpatrick then threw a pair of interceptions on consecutive possessions. The Bills were fortunate in both instances. On the first turnover, New York moved into field goal range, but Folk pushed a 50-yard attempt wide right. On the second turnover, Mark Sanchez gave it right back to the Bills on a fumbled shotgun snap, which was recovered by Marcell Dareus.
Again however, Buffalo's offense remained in neutral as they went scoreless in the first half for the first time this season as the Jets took a field goal lead to the locker room (3-0).
The Jets were handed a pair of short fields early in the second half on a 59-yard kick return by Joe McKnight to start the half to set up the Jets at the Buffalo 45, but they went three-and-out. After the Bills went three-and-out themselves, a 15-yard punt return by Jeremy Kerley gave the Jets possession at the Bills 40-yard line. After gaining just eight yards the Jets settled for a 50-yard field goal to make it 6-0.
On the Bills next possession Fred Jackson fumbled at his own 23 and the Jets recovered. Three plays later LaDainian Tomlinson had a one-yard touchdown run to put New York ahead 13-0 with 8:34 left in the third.
Buffalo finally put points on the board on their ensuing possession. On a 3rd-and-5 Stevie Johnson got behind Darrelle Revis for a 52-yard catch and run down to the Jets' 23-yard line. After an 11-yard catch by Scott Chandler set up a 1st-and-10 at the Jets 12, the Bills couldn't find the end zone and took a 24-yard Rian Lindell field goal instead to pull Buffalo to within 10 (13-3).
New York came right back and after getting consecutive first downs on passes to Dustin Keller and Plaxico Burress, the Jets were the beneficiary of a questionable pass interference call that gave them a 1st-and-goal opportunity at the Bills eight-yard line. Santonio Holmes would make a difficult catch on a post pattern to make it 20-3 Jets with 3:27 left in the third.
Come the fourth quarter the Bills threatened to score early, but facing a 4th-and-inches the Jets defensive line collapsed down on Fred Jackson stopping for no gain and a turnover on downs.
New York then pounded out yards on the ground to shorten the game running almost minutes off the clock before another pass interference penalty gave the Jets a first-and-goal situation at the Bills one-yard line. Fullback John Conner took it in from a yard out for the touchdown with six minutes remaining.
The Bills finally found the end zone with just over three minutes remaining after a 10-play 80-yard drive was capped by a seven-yard pass from Fitzpatrick to David Nelson. Fitzpatrick then scrambled for a two-point conversion to make it 27-11.
Buffalo fell into a second place tie in the AFC East with the Jets at 5-3. They now begin a three-week road trip, which takes them to Dallas next Sunday to face the Cowboys.

|Chairman's Speech (HOV Services)
|Year : Dec '12
Dear Members, Over the journey of 25 years, we have experienced many changes in the industry. The coming and going of different technologies and all the ups and downs of the economy - but the one thing that has remained sustainable over the years, and is core to our success, is our commitment to our customers and partners and listening to meet their needs and help them be successful. The journey started way back in 1989 when Company was incorporated as Codec Communications Private Limited, providing software services. During January 2002, it joined hands with a division of Hands-on group. Subsequent to this the Company acquired assets in F&A segment of BPO sector and developed and managed those acquired assets to grow. In September 2006, it entered into public market by IPO and became a public company and currently its equity is listed both at National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange. In February 2007, the Company acquired Larson Inc, a global Business Process Outsourcing provider in the Transaction Management, Insurance and Tax and Enterprise Service Industries. With that acquisition, HOVS and its global workforce constituted more than 11,000 employees who served more than 50% of the FORTUNE 100� companies�including more than 4,000 active customers in the North American marketplace. In April 2011, the Company took another leap step by merging its indirect subsidiary HOV Services LLC (HOV Services) with SOURCECORP, Inc. (SOURCECORP), a portfolio company of Apollo Management V, L.P. The combined company emerged as Source HOV Inc., reflecting the union of our two companies and our expanded capabilities. Source HOV with over 5 million in revenue, is one of the largest pure play BPO and specialty consulting companies in the industry, serving customers in more than half of the Fortune 100� with deep domain expertise, including document centric applications, in Healthcare Player and Provider, Finance and Banking, Public Sector, Publishing, Legal, Insurance, Manufacturing and Commercial industries, including specialized consulting services for construction management, tax benefits, legal claims settlements and economic consultancy. With the combination, the company''s global workforce is now more than 14,200 employees operating from approximately 80 delivery centers in 13 countries including the U.S., Mexico, Canada, India, China, Philippines and others. I am pleased to inform that today Your Company has no Debt, no Goodwill in Financial statements and enjoys the highest equity investment value through our one of the key portfolio company Source HOV. By doing that our India base is still better and strengthened than ever before. We have long history of industry-leading performance and of sustained value-creation for all our stakeholders and confident to keep on doing. Our second portfolio company HOVESPL had entered into environmental protection business and initiated its first project of building artificial reef at Mirya beach, Ratnagiri. Post completion of this project HOVESPL would be a player in providing solutions in coastal protection management. With this new portfolio the HOVS had entered into another new business segment of environment solutions. I am thankful to each one of you for showing trust and confidence in the management of the Company. By & large your Company''s management is completely geared towards accomplishing new milestone, diversifying Company''s growth and enhancing shareholders value. Lastly, on behalf of Company''s board of directors I would like to acknowledge efforts made by each and every employee of our HOVS family for their dedication towards work and for overcoming challenges encountered while executing new projects. Best regards and thank you all, Sunil Rajadhyaksha Chairman & Executive Director

Everyone knows that as you use a computer it becomes clogged with miscellaneous programs and toolbars and steadily becomes slower and slower. One of the things that contributes to this is the high number of programs and toolbars that come with software that we download from the web.
Piggyback programs
I call these piggyback downloads because the companies don't exactly ask for your permission to download the additional programs. Instead, they make it a part of the installation process. In many cases, there are checkboxes in front of the additional programs that you must uncheck if you don't want them.
The Java example
This is the case with Oracle's popular program Java. Oracle has deals with other companies to install its products along with Java. Every time you update Java, you go through an installation process. During that process, you will see a screen that will recommend installing the free browser add-on from Ask and setting up Ask as your default search provider. If you do not remove the checkmarks in front of these items, they will be installed just as surely as if you had requested them.
Antivirus program from avast!
If you install the avast! free antivirus program, the company will try to get you to install its EasyPass password manager by saying that it is a free trial. In this case you actually have to put a checkmark in the box, but it is even a little worse, since there is a trial period for that software and after that you will be reminded constantly to pay for it.
The AVG antivirus program
Sadly, many downloadable programs offer these piggybacking programs. In addition, the text on their installation screens attempts to get you to inadvertently install these extra programs. AVG's free antivirus program has one of the most blatant examples of this. It asks you to select the type of installation — Express or Custom — knowing that most people will not want to be bothered with the details and will choose the Express installation. The Express installation is pre-selected and marked, "recommended." If you do the Express install, you will not only install the AVG Toolbar, but AVG will be set as your default homepage, new tab page, and default search provider. If you don't want these added features, you have to do a Custom Install, which is labeled as "for advanced users."
If you've ever wondered how you accumulated so many toolbars on your browser or how your home page or default search engine was changed, now you know. It is not surprising that in this age of free software, even credible companies find tricky and creative ways to monetize its software. Although most people will still not take the time to read the legalese of the user agreements, they should at least carefully scrutinize every download and installation screen to avoid cluttering up their computers with unwanted programs.Tags: Productivity,Software,Technology
