The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Canadian travellers and businesses to feel the pain from U.S. sequestration
WASHINGTON - Lengthy lineups at the Canada-U.S. border. Long flight delays. A loss of lucrative American business contracts. The much-heralded Beyond the Border initiatives placed on the back burner indefinitely.
Canada will feel the sting if U.S. Congress fails this week to avert what's known as sequestration, an array of massive, mandated spending cuts to a host of federal departments and agencies aimed at slashing America's $16 trillion national debt.
On Thursday, $85 billion in cuts for this fiscal year alone are slated to kick in. All told, sequestration would amount to $1.2 trillion in budget reductions by 2021.
For Canadians, that means quick shopping trips to nearby border communities will almost immediately become a hassle as they're confronted with waits of several hours at busier entry points. They'll also feel the long hand of sequestration when they fly given there will be a ripple effect across North America as U.S. officials cancel flights and shutter some control towers and airports.
Canadian exporters, meantime, will face far longer cargo processing times at border entries as well. Business travellers will be ensnared in long lines at the border.
And Beyond the Border, the Canada-U.S. plan aimed at intelligence-sharing, easing and streamlining cross-border trade and harmonizing regulations, could also be shelved with U.S. Customs and Border Protection poised to cut the equivalent of almost 8,000 positions.
"This is such a large reduction in spending that nothing is going to go untouched, and things that are not really essential as far as the U.S. government is concerned will be on the chopping block," John Manley, head of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, said in an interview Sunday.
"It's worrying for Beyond the Border and whether we'll continue to get the attention from the U.S. in terms of border issues."
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency has already moved from sequestration planning to sequestration implementation, preparing to reduce its work hours by the equivalent of over 5,000 border patrol agents and 2,750 inspectors.
It's warned those cuts could result in waits for as long as five hours at larger ports of entry, most of them in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.
Manley also suspects pre-clearance U.S. customs facilities at several Canadian airports could be in jeopardy.
"It's an expense for the U.S. government," he said. "Canada doesn't have them at U.S. airports, after all, and it's always easier to cut programs that impact other countries rather than your own."
The Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters organization is warning of grim and swift repercussions.
In a memo sent to its members this weekend, the CME noted there's no evidence that any border contingency plan has been worked out between the U.S. and Canada as sequestration looms, even as officials continue to hammer out a two-year Beyond the Border action plan.
"If they're not talking, that's not good, and I can't get anyone to tell me whether they're working out a contingency plan," Birgit Matthiesen, the CME's Washington-based senior adviser, said Sunday.
"I have asked Ottawa, I've asked the embassy as well: 'Can someone tell me if this is being worked out?' I'm not getting any answers."
Matthiesen says she fears both Republicans and Democrats might be willing this time to allow the spending cuts to kick in during the latest crisis to push Americans to the brink of a fiscal precipice.
"This time I wonder if maybe they don't want to fix it, they don't want to punt it down the road for a few more months. Maybe they want to slash budgets, and then each side can point fingers at the other," she said.
If so, she adds, the impact on Canada will be enormous.
"The loss of federal contracts will be huge," she said. "Canadian businesses participate in a lot of bidding for lucrative federal government contracts in the U.S., so there will be that shrinking of business."
Manley says the Canadian defence industry will be particularly hard hit given the U.S. Pentagon is staring at a possible $500 billion in cuts across the entire defence department over the next decade.
"It will have an overwhelming consequence depending on how they apply the cuts," he said. "We're not a major defence spender as a country, but our industry is very integrated with the U.S. and dependent upon sales to the U.S. Department of Defense."
Economists are warning that sequestration will also lead to a higher jobless rate and could put the brakes to a fragile U.S. economic recovery, and "that's obviously never good for Canada," Matthiesen added.
She agrees that Beyond the Border will take a hit.
"If resources are cut, the ones that remain will be shifted to frontline operational services, so there will be fewer people working on the plan," Matthiesen predicted. "It's going to be put on the back burner."
Manley said Canadian officials are going to have to make the point to the White House that putting the brakes on the Beyond the Border initiatives is foolhardy, even amid a period of domestic austerity.
"Canada's going to have to be in D.C. making the case that if you want economic growth, this is part of that," he said. "You don't want to kill the growth side or to thwart the supply chains."
Two years ago, U.S. President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced a "shared vision" for the Canada-U.S. border. But both Canadian and American stakeholders have complained that progress has moved at a glacial pace as the U.S. grapples with its budget woes.
Sequestration loomed over a recent Canada-U.S. conference on Beyond the Border when an American official acknowledged budget concerns were hindering progress.
"It is fair to say we are facing some very difficult budget constraints," Ana Hinojosa, a director at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, told the meeting three weeks ago.

Statistical model
|It has been suggested that Statistical assumption be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2014.
A statistical model describes how one or more random variables are related to other (non-random) variables. The relationships are usually specified as mathematical equations. In mathematical terms, a statistical model is usually thought of as a pair (S, P), where S is the set of possible observations, i.e. the sample space, and P is a set of probability distributions on S.[1] It is assumed that there is a "true" probability distribution that generates the observed data. Statistical inference enables us to make statements about which elements of P are likely to adequately approximate the true distribution.
Herman J. Adèr quotes Kenneth A. Bollen as saying "A model is a formal representation of a theory".[2]
Most statistical tests can be described in the form of a statistical model. For example, the Student's t-test for comparing the means of two sets can be formulated as determining if an estimated parameter in the model is different from 0. Another similarity between tests and models is that there are assumptions involved.
Formal definition[edit]
A statistical model is a collection of probability distribution functions or probability density functions (collectively referred to as distributions for brevity) on a given sample space S. A parametric model is a collection of distributions, each of which is indexed by a unique finite-dimensional parameter: , where is a parameter and is the feasible region of parameters, which is a subset of d-dimensional Euclidean space. A statistical model may be used to describe the set of distributions from which one assumes that a particular data set is sampled. For example, if one assumes that data arise from a univariate Gaussian distribution, then one has assumed a Gaussian model
- .
A non-parametric model is a set of probability distributions with infinite dimensional parameters, and might be written as . A semi-parametric model also has infinite dimensional parameters, but is not dense in the space of distributions. For example, a mixture of Gaussians with one Gaussian at each data point is dense in the space of distributions. Formally, if d is the dimension of the parameter and n is the number of samples, if as and as , then the model is semi-parametric.
Model comparison[edit]
Models can be compared to each other. This can either be done when you have done an exploratory data analysis or a confirmatory data analysis. In an exploratory analysis, you formulate all models you can think of, and see which describes your data best. In a confirmatory analysis you test which of your models you have described before the data was collected fits the data best, or test if your only model fits the data. In linear regression analysis you can compare the amount of variance explained by the independent variables, R2, across the different models. In general, you can compare models that are nested by using a Likelihood-ratio test. Nested models are models that can be obtained by restricting a parameter in a more complex model to be zero.
An example[edit]
Height and age are probabilistically distributed over humans. They are stochastically related; when you know that a person is of age 10, this influences the chance of this person being 6 feet tall. You could formalize this relationship in a linear regression model of the following form: heighti = b0 + b1agei + εi, where b0 is the intercept, b1 is a parameter that age is multiplied by to get a prediction of height, ε is the error term, and i is the subject. This means that height starts at some value, there is a minimum height when someone is born (b0), and it is predicted by age to some amount. This prediction is not perfect; so error is included in the model. This error contains variance that stems from sex and other variables. When sex is included in the model, the error term will become smaller, as you will have a better idea of the chance that a particular 16-year-old is 6 feet tall when you know this 16-year-old is a girl. The model would become heighti = b0 + b1agei + b2sexi + εi, where the variable sex is dichotomous. This model would presumably have a higher R2. The first model is nested in the second model: the first model is obtained from the second when b2 is restricted to zero.
According to the number of the endogenous variables and the number of equations, models can be classified as complete models (the number of equations equal to the number of endogenous variables) and incomplete models. Some other statistical models are the general linear model (restricted to continuous dependent variables), the generalized linear model (for example, logistic regression), the multilevel model, and the structural equation model.[2]

WCW Souled Out: was a professional wrestling pay-per-view promoted by World Championship Wrestling in the month of January from 1997 through 2000. It was originally started as an nWo PPV but it did not generate the revenue hoped for so it was turned into a WCW and nWo co-promoted PPV. This show, along with all of the other WCW pay-per-views that followed, stayed as a co-branded WCW/nWo show until the nWo disbanded in 1999. In 2001, it was replaced by WCW Sin. World Wrestling Entertainment have owned the rights to Souled Out since they purchased WCW in 2001, however to date, they have not yet produced their own version of the event.

U.S. 52 work to require 17-mile detour next week
Updated On: Aug 22 2012 01:42:06 PM EDT
People who drive U.S. 52 between Higginsport and Chilo will have a lengthy detour next week.
The Ohio Department of Transportation said culvert work will require closing U.S. 52 from 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 27 until 3 p.m. on Aug. 31.
The closure will be from just west of Smith Landing Road to Bartlow Road, with access to Bartlow Road remaining open from east U.S. 52.
The detour for eastbound U.S. 52 traffic will be north on State Route 133 to east on SR 756 into Brown County, to south on SR 505, back to U.S. 52. Westbound traffic will use the same detour in reverse.
The detour is 17 miles or approximately 20 minutes, ODOT said.

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — The closure of Hostess Brands Inc. put the brakes on Gerald Robinson's career and left him without health insurance for his family, including a son with asthma.
Robinson worked an early-morning shift as a Cotton's Holsum Breads route salesman in New Iberia.
Robinson, 50, joined other former Holsum/Hostess employees in reviewing their options last week during benefits orientation sessions hosted by the Louisiana Workforce Commission in nine Louisiana cities.
The Advertiser reports three displaced employees attended the Lafayette session, a fraction of the 400 people statewide who lost their jobs.
Robinson and other former employees like John Mac Melancon, 62, learned at the sessions how to keep up with unemployment insurance and improve job-seeking skills.
They hope to put that knowledge to use, but are concerned about their futures.
Robinson heard about the Hostess liquidation on the radio Nov. 16.
Robinson met up with other drivers completing their routes that morning, but no one knew what the liquidation meant for their jobs. After a series of calls that led them to a supervisor in Mississippi, they finally got the answer.
"They basically told us to clean out our personal stuff from our lockers and that we didn't have jobs anymore," Robinson said.
Robinson called his clients — some of whom he'd served for the duration of his 13-year driving tenure — to give them the news, packed up and went home. Shortly after, he filed for unemployment and tried to figure out what to do next.
Robinson considered going back to school instead of returning to 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. driving shifts, but the entire process was overwhelming. He had not had a resume in 30 years.
"You didn't used to need a resume to get a job," Robinson said.
The biggest impact in Louisiana was felt in Alexandria, where 200 people lost their jobs at Cotton Brothers/Holsum Bakery. Hostess' liquidation caused the layoffs of more than 18,000 workers nationwide, leaving employees like Robinson without severance pay or pay for accrued vacation days.
"They threw us to the wolves," Robinson said. "That's so discouraging that the people that are still working there are still going to be paid and getting bonuses."
About 3,200 Hostess employees nationwide are being retained to help in winding down operations, including 237 employees at the corporate level, and $1.8 million will be paid out to 19 executives.
Holsum had more than two dozen retail locations in Louisiana, including those in Lafayette, Opelousas and New Iberia. Three days after Hostess announced its liquidation, the Holsum Outlet store on Bertrand Drive was packed with Wonder Bread and snack food lovers looking to stock up on their favorite items. At the time, it was unclear whether the brands would continue.
The store shuttered that week and it is unclear whether it will reopen if new owners purchase Hostess Brands Inc. Holsum did not respond to requests for comment. Last month, Hostess said in court that it's in talks with 110 potential buyers for its brands, which include Twinkies, Sno Balls, CupCakes, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos.

Pretty good
Pretty well done. And i loved that joke from Duke Nukem 3D: "Its time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum!", lol. The audio was also very good.
Hey, I really like Doom too.
This movie just wasn't really all that special, and I read the first and second DOOM books, and I thought that they were sort of lacking in... everything. But you did what you could do, so I say Kudos for animating the story.
Heh, thanks for the review. Though the only thing I based in my movie on the books was the names, I rather stick with the original plot of the game ;)
Great piece of work. Very true to the story.
omg kickass man u should write more soo cool!!!

Steve Selig's mystery trip
Employees going on free vacation, but where?
Send this to a friend
- Lisa R. Schoolcraft
- Staff writer
Employees at the Midtown offices of Selig Enterprises Inc. are consumed by a mystery: They're going on a vacation, they just don't know where.
Steve Selig, president of the Atlanta-based development firm, is treating all 100 employees -- from warehouse workers to administrative staff to managers, plus a guest each -- to an all-expenses-paid, four-day getaway this coming Labor Day weekend to celebrate its 40th anniversary and the family's 90th anniversary in the real estate business.
He just won't tell them where they're going. He may not tell them until the day they leave, Aug. 29.
He's been dropping clues since the company's December holiday party.
Hilary Shure, marketing coordinator, thinks they're going "somewhere hot" and she's leaning toward Cape Canaveral, Fla., based on some of Selig's clues, which have included e-mails of a space shuttle, chocolate bars with custom-made wrappers, and postcards sent to employees depicting all 50 states.
Leasing representative Eve Slaughter thinks they're headed to Florida, too, only she thinks it's to the "sugar beaches" of Destin after getting the chocolate bar clue. Shure even called hotels in Hershey, Pa., to see if blocks of rooms had been reserved. There weren't, she conceded.
Senior paralegal Tracy O'Connor thinks the space shuttle and NASA is a play on words for Nassau, Bahamas.
Project manager Greg Catoe initially thought they were headed to the Atlantis resort in The Bahamas, believing the space shuttle clue was a reference to the Atlantis space shuttle. But he admits he was thrown off by the postcards of all 50 states, because the Bahamas are not in the 50 states.

In connection with Einstein's annual "Greatest Loser" weight loss competition, Coach Alba's adaptive SMS platform is being enlisted to help participating employees reach the goal of losing 2,000 pounds collectively. All Einstein employees and their families — not just those in the competition — are welcome to use Coach Alba's smart-texting engine for support in sticking with their weight loss goals during the 10-week competition for free and throughout the rest of the calendar year.
"As a healthcare organization, we are always looking for effective ways to help our employees take charge of their health and make meaningful and sustained behavioral transformations in their lives," said Kathryn Brady, manager of health and wellness at Einstein Healthcare Network. "We want our employees to be examples of excellent health, and we recognize how hard it can be to stick with a weight loss plan with the everyday distractions and demands of life. Coach Alba's text messaging system is assisting our participants in sticking with their plans."
Coach Alba combines proprietary behavioral research and sophisticated mobile technology to help users survive "crucial moments" of weakness that derail weight loss goals. Coach Alba learns about users' individual vulnerabilities with every text message and sends personalized support and ideas at strategic times when users are susceptible to giving in.
"Coach Alba is built on proven behavioral principles that will help Einstein reach this lofty but important goal. I am a living testament to the fact that this approach to sustained weight loss really works," said Vincent Han, who founded Coach Alba on the same behavioral principles that helped him lose 55 pounds.
According to the U.S. National Weight Control Registry, 4 in 5 of the country's 100 million dieters fail to stick with their diets over time, suggesting that Coach Alba addresses a pervasive problem in the American battle with weight loss.
"Research has highlighted the fact that most weight loss plans work very well if the participant can find a way to stick to that plan. That's where Coach Alba comes in," Han added. "About 95 percent of the time, people do very well at keeping their eyes on the prize. It's the other 5 percent of the time that leads to trouble."
As a text-based service, Coach Alba is available to any cell phone user with SMS capabilities — making it accessible to many more dieters than a mobile app that requires a smartphone and data plan — and the smart text platform is more effective at reaching users during quiet moments of vulnerability.
Coach Alba also offers users a more private alternative to virtual weight-loss services that push information to online social networks. Coach Alba has already helped thousands of beta users make life-altering changes in how they approach their health and weight-loss goals.
About Coach Alba
Founded in 2010, Coach Alba is a behavioral change company that builds innovative Web and mobile technologies to help people achieve life-changing goals. Headquartered in Provo, Utah, Coach Alba leverages powerful proprietary research and an adaptive, personalized SMS messaging platform to help users recognize and overcome the day-to-day challenges that keep them from attaining sustainable, positive change in their lives.

Lawyers & Law Firms
Civil Litigation
This is a fantastic initiative and I applaud the NYC Bar, Mr. Dunne and the Committee members (several of whom I have had the pleasure of meeting or working alongside) for undertaking this at a time when many in our profession are either unaware of, or ignoring, the dismal state of the legal job market.
However this is not, as the article asserts, a gathering of "Representatives from all corners of the legal world." In fact, the Committee appears to be limited to representatives of the "traditional" legal world that has undergone significant, unprecedented change in the past 5-10 years.
Where are the non-law firm innovators like the LPOs and similar legal services companies who are providing U.S. attorneys with part-time, temporary and "career associate" types of jobs? In NYC alone, that group likely represents several thousand positions that fall outside the traditional law firm, in-house or government paths. I would have assumed that input from leaders at these entities would be a welcome and productive element of this initiative.
Similarly, where are the representatives from the consulting community and other experts that large law firms and in-house teams have begun retaining (with apparent exigency) to assist with operational, recruiting and training issues? Again, I would have assumed that their collective role as trusted advisors on the myriad of changes occurring across the industry would make their respective views on the overall legal market yet another important element of this initiative.
Irrespective of the involvement of these two groups on the formal Committee, I do hope that there will be opportunity for open dialog and public comment on their recommendations. Our future colleagues deserve that.
Admitting that there is a problem is a good first step. I fear, however, that unless these individuals are empowered to tell law schools to shut down, the committee's recommendations will amount to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Solution is exactly right. This is not rocket science -- there are simply too many lawyers, and it is too easy to borrow too much money to attend too many law schools. Just look at the model of medical education -- at the rigor of admission criteria and training; there is no comparison with law.
This is a good cause and a strong team. That said, the group's composition reflects a lack of understanding where law jobs are going. Law practice is becoming standardized and automated. The Task Force should add members with experience in automating law. For more on this, see our post on the Task Force on the DiligenceEngine blog.
Agree with Kevin Colangelo as well, especially regarding including LPO representatives being missing. Outsourcers and automators will both grow in coming years, and the Task Force could benefit from their inclusion.
I say get rid of the ABA and of the traditional law school model, but for the top schools, but open up a different type of bar admission. Many people go to law school with the intention of not practicing law or representing others. For those, there should be a BS equivalent that would be bar approved, and let the market determine what the pay should be. Maybe there should be a licensing for specific area of law - like in the securities field; where there are various licenses for the specific area you are dealing in. This will save law students lots of money and create a revenue stream for the states.

Denny Hamlin defends Chase points change idea on Twitter
Jan 18, 2014, 1:00 PM EST
Denny Hamlin won the last race of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, and is first on Twitter to defend the idea of a potential Chase points structure change.
The idea was brought to light last night following a report by the Charlotte Observer's Jim Utter, with NASCAR then issuing a response shortly afterwards.
Anyway, while drivers have yet to truly chime in on the matter, Hamlin offered a couple tweets on Saturday to outlined the potential excitement this could bring.
This points system change is going to be a really good thing. Trust in it and watch how exciting each chase race is going to be
— Denny Hamlin (@dennyhamlin) January 18, 2014
Every race will be a fight to get out of the bottom 4 of the standings. Races will play out like Richmond each race.Minus the arm scratching
— Denny Hamlin (@dennyhamlin) January 18, 2014
The "arm scratching" line is, of course, paying tribute to Clint Bowyer's infamous spin at Richmond last September, that set off a firestorm of controversy regarding who did and didn't make the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
He added a couple more tweets when asked by fans about consistency.
Consistency will keep you up top"@BuddyRushing: @dennyhamlin What if I value rewarding consistency over artificially constructed excitement?

- Economics February 27
Chinese gauges of financial stress — including the TED spread, which is the difference between interest rates on interbank lending and interest rates on government bonds — have widened sharply in recent days, suggesting that the Chinese financial system is under severe stress. The New York Times' Paul Krugman is worried:
The widening in the TED spread was one of the key reasons I was already very scared in late 2007. If past is prologue, we should be very worried about China now. [New York Times]
Other economic commentators, including Michael Pettis, George Soros, and myself, have warned that China's fast-growing economy is heading toward turbulence due to the difficulty of making a transition from export-driven industrial growth to consumer-driven domestic growth. China's rapid economic growth has become increasingly and unsustainably debt-financed. Local government debt has soared over 20 percent in each of the last three years, far outpacing growth, and nobody actually knows quite how much debt China's notoriously opaque financial system is sitting on.- - John Aziz

HTC Might be Developing Two More Tablet Apart From Nexus 9
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Sovan Mandal | July 23, 2014 2:18 PM EST
Word on the tech street is that HTC is into developing two more tablet devices apart from the Nexus 9 code named Volantis/Flounder that we have heard of earlier. This bit of news which has its origin with Evleaks would mark the return of the Taiwanese company into mainstream tablet business if true. HTC had last been associated with tablet when it launched the HTC Flyer and Jetstream which bombed in the markets worldwide.
Customers look at HTC smartphones in a mobile phone shop in Taipei in this July 30, 2013 file photo. Taiwanese smartphone vendor HTC Corp said on May 6, 2014 it projects revenue in April-June to almost match that of a year earlier thanks primarily to sales of new flagship One M8 beating those of its predecessor
HTC has often been rumored to be developing a tablet after its efforts with the Flyer back in 2011. However, there has been no concrete developments ever since though things might be different this time round if Evleaks is to be believed. Unfortunately, details are extremely scarce at the moment, so that the only thing we know of the two rumored devices is that they have been codenamed T7 and T12. Also, it would be anybody's guess if the two codenames point towards a 7 or 12 inch tablet with the speculated Nexus slotting in between them.
Fortunately, things are a little better with the Nexus 9 that has already been discussed a fair bit before, as is mentioned in BGR. The tablet is expected to feature a 64 bit NVIDIA Tegra K1 heart and is purported to work in conjugation with a 2 GB of RAM and 16/32 GB of storage. The tablet is also rumored to carry a 3 megapixel shooter at the front and an 8 megapixel cam at the rear that also benefits from optical image stabilization for better quality pictures.
Upfront, the tablet is believed to offer an 8.9 inch 2K display flanked by front facing stereo speakers. The tablet is also believed to be extremely slim, having a thickness of just 7.9 mm while tipping the scales at 427 gms. The report also claimed the Volantis/Flounder to run Android L.
The tablet is also expected to cater to the premium segment, which if true will make it the first Nexus device to be doing so, claims Android Police. The price point mentioned is $399 for the entry level model.

Kaka stays at Milan
28 June 2014 [12:21] -
Kaka has played down reports of a move to Orlando City by confirming he will return to AC Milan for pre-season training in early July.
The Brazil international has been linked with a move away from San Siro over the summer, with the new Major League Soccer franchise openly revealing their negotiations with the player they expect to sign in January.
"I have not left Milan yet," Kaka said, speaking at a promotional event.
"Every year, at this time, there is great speculation about my future. The only thing that is certain and official is that on July 9, I have to present myself at Milan."
Kaka's declaration is unlikely to dampen suggestions that he will soon leave the club. While Orlando remain his most likely destination, he could return to former club Sao Paulo on a short-term deal to keep fit ahead of the MLS season.
Milan director Barbara Berlusconi has publicly acknowledged the possibility of Kaka leaving by opening the door to his exit in a recent interview.
Speaking at the launch of a Milan Cruise, Berlusconi said: "I know Kaka is making an important decision, he has to make that decision with absolute calmness.
"We will be happy if Kaka stays, but we will accept if he wants to leave."
The 32-year-old made 193 league appearances for Milan between 2003 and 2009 before leaving for Real Madrid.
He returned to San Siro at the beginning of the 2013/14 campaign and made 30 appearances, scoring seven goals.

Product description
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, " The Emperor of All Maladies "is a magnificent, profoundly humane "biography" of cancer--from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence. Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist's precision, a historian's perspective, and a biographer's passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with--and perished from--for more than five thousand years. The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out "war against cancer." The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist. From the Persian Queen Atossa, whose Greek slave may have cut off her diseased breast, to the nineteenth-century recipients of primitive radiation and chemotherapy to Mukherjee's own leukemia patient, Carla, "The Emperor of All Maladies "is about the people who have soldiered through fiercely demanding regimens in order to survive--and to increase our understanding of this iconic disease. Riveting, urgent, and surprising, "The Emperor of All Maladies "provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.

Livni says Netanyahu erred in attacking Abbas at start of kidnapping crisis
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni (L) and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas..
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni told Channel 2 on Saturday that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu erred in attacking Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in light of Ramallah's readiness to help Israel in locating the three kidnapped Jewish teenagers.During an appearance on Channel 2's Meet the Press, Livni said that the close cooperation between the Israeli military and the Palestinian security services in the West Bank offers an opportunity for a return to the negotiating table after the resolution of the kidnapping crisis."Our immediate goal should be to find the boys and the kidnappers as well," Livni said. "We need to hit Hamas militarily and politically. At the same time, however, we need to work with the Palestinian government, and we need to see if its possible to return to negotiations with Abu Mazen."Livni told Channel 2 that she supported the IDF operations against the Hamas infrastructure in the West Bank so long as it served a larger purpose for an eventual return to peace talks with Abbas."I condemned Abu Mazen when he decided to form a unity government with Hamas," the justice minister, who is Israel's lead negotiator in peace talks with the Palestinians, said. "I think he realizes he made a mistake when he linked up with Hamas."Livni praised Abbas' statements this week condemning the kidnapping and pledging Ramallah's cooperation in locating the teens."Israel needs to take on a two-pronged strategy," Livni said. "It needs to hit Hamas hard, and it needs to remember who its partner in the negotiations is. Our cooperation with the PA is in accordance with Israel's interests.""Abu Mazen represents the nonviolent Palestinian struggle for statehood, which is precisely why Israel needs to talk to him," the justice minister said.

Markets get mild boost from US jobs data
U.S. and European stocks traded only modestly higher Friday after news that the American economy kept creating jobs at the expected rate last month.
AP Business Writer
U.S. and European stocks traded only modestly higher Friday after news that the American economy kept creating jobs at the expected rate last month.
Stocks in Europe had been down early in the session, held back by U.S. Federal Reserve minutes from its December meeting that revealed some officials favored ending the central bank's extraordinary stimulus measures this year. The Fed's ongoing bond purchases have helped lower interest rates and pumped newly created money into the economy, helping support an economic recovery.
Major indexes moved a little higher after the release of the U.S. non-farm payrolls figure but didn't get much of a bounce from the numbers.
The economy created 155,000 jobs in December, about what analysts expected. The U.S. Labor Department also said hiring was stronger than initially reported for November, raising the figure by 15,000 to 161,000. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 7.8 percent.
The Dow Jones industrials average was up 0.1 percent at 13,340.64 in midday trading in New York, while the broader Standard & Poor's 500 was up 0.3 percent at 1,463.26
Britain's FTSE closed 0.7 percent to 6089.84 and the German DAX rose 0.26 percent to 7776.37. France's CAC 40 climbed 0.2 percent to 3730.02.
In Asia, Japan's benchmark stock index soared Friday on its first trading day in the new year as investors belatedly joined the rally over the last-minute budget deal reached in Washington to avoid steep, automatic tax increases and spending cuts. The measure, however, was also largely seen as crisis avoidance - putting off hard decisions about how to reduce government spending and deal with America's massive debt.
Relief rallies on staving off the so-called "fiscal cliff" faded in Europe and the U.S. after the Fed minutes Thursday showed that officials were divided about how long to continue its extraordinary stimulus measures.
In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 jumped 2.8 percent to 10,688.11, its highest closing in 22 months. Much of the enthusiasm for Japanese shares comes from the steadily weakening yen, a big help to Japanese companies that sell abroad.
Investors have high hopes that new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's policies, centered on loose monetary policy and public spending, will pull the world's third-largest economy out of the doldrums.
Elsewhere, however, investor fervor wilted. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index fell 0.3 percent to 23,331.09. South Korea's Kospi lost 0.4 percent to 2,011.94, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.4 percent to 4,723.80. China was mixed.

AT LEAST ONE Broomes in the Alexandra School saga could be seeking legal redress in the near future. Cousins Jeff Broomes, who was principal of the school for ten years, and Roger Broomes, the physical education teacher, came to national attention during the commission of inquiry into the affairs of the school in July and August. That commission recommended that they both be removed from the St Peter school. The Ministry of Education took action at the beginning of this term, transferring Jeff to Parkinson Memorial Secondary School. He is yet to take up duties there because he is on sick leave until Thursday. The board of the school reportedly dealt with Roger. He told the DAILY NATION his contract had not been renewed. "The first contract I had was until the 31st of August. Then I received a letter of termination, terminating my services from the first of January," the 45-year-old reported. He insisted that no reasons were cited for the termination and said he had retained the services of a "prominent attorney" to look into the matter.
