Of all the bad economic policies holding Japan back, ignoring women may be the worst.

The world's third-biggest economy hardly has a monopoly on sexism. Yet how often does the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development urge a developed nation to provide women more job opportunities to boost growth? The OECD consistently does just that with Japan as the country's population ages and growth wanes.

Shiseido Co., Japan's top cosmetics maker, could be getting the message. Company vice president and long-time gender equality activist Kimie Iwata, 64, is championing an effort to tap Japan's underutilized female masses. "We want to develop their careers regardless of gender," Iwata told the Associated Press recently. "We want to have a lot of female managers and executives."

At Japan's top 500 companies, women account for less than 1 percent of executives, compared with 10 percent in America and the U.K., a survey in the Nikkei newspaper found. If the female employment rate matched the male rate -- one of the highest anywhere at about 80 percent -- gross domestic product would get a boost of as much as 15 percent, estimates Kathy Matsui, Tokyo-based strategist at Goldman Sachs.

Traditions are hard to break, and that's especially so of male-dominated corporate Japan. Yet if Japan isn't going to take other obvious steps to stabilize its shrinking workforce -- like liberalizing immigration -- it must act boldly to increase female participation in both business and politics.

The issue feeds directly into Japan's demographic challenges. Because it's difficult for women to balance a career with having a family, many end up putting off childbirth or having fewer kids. The end result is one of the lowest birthrates anywhere and one of the developed world's most unbalanced labor forces. With investments and tax initiatives to reduce the cost of daycare and childrearing, Japan could help reverse the trend.

More important still is fresh thinking on a problem that Tokyo isn't addressing. Shiseido's Iwata isn't just on to something that could boost her company's profits -- it's something that could save Japan.

A little about me...
Hello and thank you for reading my profile.
Iam happiest when I am in the attitude of gratitude, I accept what is now in the moment, I speak my truth, I nurture my spirit, I insist on being myself.
Do I know who I am YES. Do I laugh, play love and say YES to life YES.
I am comfortable dressing up as well as wearing a pair of good fitting jeans.
My passion is myself, in that Iam commited to my happiness. My happiness is the greatest gift I can give to another.
I enjoy converstion and the sharing of ideas. I am not afraid of the moments of silence when nothing needs to be said. The silence is powerful, the quiet being with another knowing communication is happening.
I have the privilege and joy of sharing my life with 7 children and 10 grandchildren.
Even though I enjoy the going and doing. I also love being at home having a place that offers rest, or solitude if wanted. A place to nest and create an enviornment of love,
I love this earth our mother who gives to us freely.
About the one I'm looking for...
I must have passion, chemistry and a connection with my partner in the pyhsical, mental, emotional and spiritual. I have great honor and respect for men.
A stereotype relationship will not work for me. I long for something pulsing with life, something vital aliive and dynamic. I want that we remain independent, dependent, and interdependent.
I truly have the desire to do my part in working together in making a relationship grow develope into something awesome. Iam bothered when someone says they are looking for their better half or the one that will meet them half way. Iam a whole woman there is no half of me or you.
I'd just like to add...
I enjoy being active and keeping myself physically fit. Getting out doors into the beauty of the day or night. Sometimes I can be complacent being a couch potato. I like to dance, read, movies, walks, travel,spending time with family and friends. I enjoy a variety of music.
I have been told I am multifacited, and have grace. Men have told me iam very sensual, with out trying, my nature. Most imprtortant is my greatest desire is who can I be not so much about the what can I do..
I must add that unfortunately I have allergys to cats and some dogs, I love animals, however to be in constant contact is a challenge for me.
This is a quote from a writing called Desiderata found in an old Saint Pauls Church, Baltimore dated 1692: Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether it is clear to you or not, no doubt the universe in unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with GOD, whatever you concieve him/her to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

Sometimes you can just see the concern in a fighters eyes during their entrance into the octagon. Urijah eyes showed a high degree of concern and possibly some fear. I do believe that he knew he was not going to beat this guy because of all the things he said above. But not winning this fight an geting the interim belt has basically dealt urijah a fate he did not want. He is probably done unless he goes to another weight class. Barao will beat cruz and probably dominate this weight class for some time so faber has no chance of getting a belt unless barao looses to someone he could possibly beat.
Rib Injury for Urijah Faber at UFC 149
Another loss was the result of last Saturday's UFC title fight as Urijah "The California Kid" was once again denied a title. The fight ended with a unanimous decision to the new interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao at the UFC 149 main event at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Barao kept Faber on the outside as he landed cleaner shots. It was clear that Faber never found his opportunity during their five-round fight last Saturday that cost him the title fight.
When Faber was interviewed shortly after the fight, he mentions: "I knew he was very tough. I have a difficult time with guys who are really good at defending takedowns and really good at leg kicks." His comments on Barao's win: "I was doing a pretty good job of avoiding the leg kicks, but I just wasn't able to get off with my offense like I wanted to." He further added that Barao was really great in keeping the distance from him that he did not stand a chance.
Faber's injury happened as a knee strike from Barao came earlier in the bout. "I was a little shaken up. He got me with a knee either in the first round or early in the second. I think I have a broken rib…"
But the fight was not a delight of the audiences at all; the crowd was even heard booing the bantamweights and the main event contest was a slow pay-per-view drawer as well.
Faber commented on the booing audience: "You never want to hear boos, but you're more concerned about the guy trying to take your head off [and give you] broken ribs and swollen legs and all that stuff." He added that he just did his best even when the crowd booed in the sidelines. He admitted that his opponent fought a smart fight: "He's really good with his length, and he was able to keep me at bay. I would have liked to have gotten a little crazy in there, but jumping around like a wild man and doing something stupid probably wouldn't have been the smartest thing. I was trying to punch him in the face, but I did not get it done."
Faber was initially primed for "The Dominator" Dominick Cruz but the fighter was forced to withdraw from the fight because of an injury.

Benefits of Farming Castor Seeds
Benefits of Farming Castor:
- Castor provides a traditional farming with a viable income from current non-productive lands.
- Castor does not compete with food crops, because the Castor bean can be grown on marginal lands, which do not compete with food production lands.
- Due to its low demands on soil fertility, Castor is ideal to re-plant in marginal lands to prevent erosion and/or desertification.
- Farming of Castor, apart from providing additional income for it's farmers, provides stabilization for marginal lands which are susceptible to excessive water or winds.
- Castor Oil is not competing with food grade oils.
- It's toxicity is sensed by animals, and so, it is not foraged on.
- Castor produces a high yield, as much as 350-650 kg of oil per hectare, even with no fertilization maintenance, up to a higher end yield, where rainfalls happen at appropriate times (1000 litre per hectare).
- Castor has a very high oil content of approximately 50%.
- Castor is an uncomplicated crop which requires little attention during its growing periods.
- Castor requires moderate rainfall (approx 600mm only), is able to withstand long periods of drought, and yet it will thrive under heavy rainfall.
- Castor farmers agree that no matter how much oil seed is produced, there can never be an over-supply for many decases to come.
- Considering the issues that surround geographical and climactic changes, and general shortage of rural employment opportunities, involving farmers (and enthusiasts) in Castor farming, in order to produce renewable energy, provides the answer to long term employment and prosperity.
- Castor provides both long and short term benefits for holistic bio-energy projects in developing (as well as developed) countries, in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world.
- Altough Castor is indigenous to Africa, it is distributed to all parts of the world in large comercial values, and provides a great resource for bio-diesel production
- Castor helps to reduce green house gas accumulations in the atmosphere, and has two growing cycles (harvests) per year.

About Belinda Taranto
I feel very lucky to be able to own a property in such a beautiful area such as Margaret River. My home is in Perth but we have a wonderful housekeeping team who look after Bella Retreat and all its valued guests. I spend as much time there as is possible and value my time there enormously as time slows down, I reconnect with nature and realise how wonderful it is just to hear the sounds of the forest. Special times watching the kangaroos early mornings and as an art lover, wine lover and great coffee and dining experience lover, I am in my element! The stunning beaches surrounding us are food for the soul too!
Belinda Taranto purchased this cottage in 2004
Why Belinda Taranto chose Margaret River
If you love the peace and tranquillity of a beautiful forest setting but love also to be centrally located then this is the property for you. Margaret River is a very special place which needs to be experienced as it is one of the most beautiful areas in south Western Australia. The beaches, caves, wineries, fine dining experiences, art galleries and the township itself will leave you with plenty to do but the best part of all is just enjoying the surroundings of your 'home away from home' for the time you spend here.
What makes this cottage unique
Bella Retreat is situated in the heart of the Margaret River wine region. Located half way between Margaret River township and the stunning Redgate Beach, with award-wining wineries, Xanadu, Voyager and Leeuwin Estate just down the road, Bella Retreat is the ideal getaway.
Famous for international surfing competitions, Margaret River mouth is 10 mins drive away where spectacular scenery and awe inspiring waves may be viewed along this stretch of coastline.
Go and have a coffee or dine in one of the restaurants on offer in the Margaret River township or browse through the array of interesting shops and art galleries which are only 5 mins drive away.
You're in the heart of the Maragret River wine region and which ever way you turn there's a winery waiting to be explored. Swimming and surf beaches are within a short drive and the cafes, hotels and restaurants of the region are within easy driving or cycling distance.
Guestbook comments from the owner
The weekend was lovely. We decided not to venture far from the house, and there is so much to occupy the kids they were all very happy to stay put. The trampoline, tyre swing & fire pit were great – the kids loved collecting sticks in the forest with the wheelbarrows.
This is the first time we've used both houses & that worked out so well – my mum stayed down there with my sister, brother in law & their baby. It was nice and quiet when they need it, and at the same time it was close enough for our kids to wander back and forth whenever they liked to visit Granny.
The new addition of the massive deck on the north side is beautiful! We used to love sitting on the south side, on our previous weekends at Bella, but with 12 of us, plus the baby, the deck was perfect, and really adds to the functionality of the house.
We look forward to our next weekend at Bella Retreat!

Is Shreveport As Racially Divided Now as in the 1960′s?
All the buzz around town is about Shreveport-Bossier being named the fastest shrinking economy in America since 2011.
All the buzz around town is about Shreveport-Bossier being named the fastest shrinking economy in America since 2011.
A new report claims Shreveport-Bossier has the fastest-shrinking economy in the US.
The Krewe des les Femmes Mystique is the oldest all-female krewe in the Ark-La-Tex and was established in 1999. Not only does les Femmes celebrate Mardi Gras, they focus community service with this year's main philanthropies being both the Caddo and Bossier Councils on Aging.
Shreveport, Louisiana singer Cole Vosbury may have been sent home on 'The Voice' this week, but a visit to the Today Show in New York has helped cement his place as a future star.
A woman's work may indeed never be done.
Getting a solid apprenticeship or a college education is almost always a good idea for anyone traveling down the career path. The problem arises when you have to decide between several different options. While anyone with a strong skill set (blue- or white-collar) should be fairly employable, it's just a basic fact that some vocations are more in demand these days than others. It often depends on where, and especially when, you live.
I must ask this question. How stupid can people be? There is a petition on the White House website to ban 'straight men from driving cars'. Yes, they want President Obama to prevent all straight men from driving.
Now you are asking, why would they do that?
Job growth in May beat economists' expectations, coming in at 175,000 new positions added, which aligns closely with the yearly average. The unemployment rate rose ever so slightly, from 7.5 percent to 7.6 percent, a result of more people entering the work force, according to the Labor Department.
The economy added 165,000 jobs in April, bringing the overall unemployment rate down a tick to 7.5 percent. The monthly report from the Labor Department also included upward revisions to the last two reports, helping to ease fears of a slowdown.
For as long as I can recall, the rule of thumb was to NEVER use a coupon when you go on a date. Supposedly it made you look cheap. And today, it looks like things have changed quite a bit.
We've been going through a pretty rough economy these last few years, but you've been working hard, so why not ask for that raise? It may or may not work, but if you do decide to ask (and you should), you should be prepared to ask for it in the right way.
Mother's Day is around the corner, so now's a good time to start doing some present planning. A good place to start is what not to get her, so we thought we'd help you out.

The place has certainly cheapened up under new management. Large orange juice is small and watered down. Cheese steak rolls used to be fresh . . . not any more. Ordered the specials. Chicken alfredo came over rice intended for the shrimp and shrimp came over the pasta intended for the chicken alfredo. Breakfast was served luke warm. The diner was average before. Now it is not worth going to.
Posted by SHARI on 08/24/2014
We have been going to this diner for about 4 years. It's under new management and the service is terrible new servers have no training and the food has gone down hill. The cashier did not want to hear about what we had to say so there are other places to go. No wonder the place was so empty on a Sunday.
Posted by Rob on 08/23/2014
After not eating at this diner for quite some time, I recently revisited it under the new management. I can honestly say that while the appearance has not changed, the food most certainly has. I ordered a deluxe cheese steak platter, and unlike my previous experiences there it was an actual "philly style" cheesesteak! The sandwich was twice the size of my last cheesesteak ordered there and the fries were real, cut potato fries and not the "Pringle" like composite fries that I had gotten there before. I look forward to trying the breakfast menu, as that is the meal that I most often eat away from home. Good job Blue Fountain!

Delicious breakfasts, best club sandwiches.Like the chicken croquette, meatloaf, roast beef dinners. Blast from the past! Good prices and service.
Posted by Michael on 12/25/2009
These folks can't cook a burger to order, and when you try to bring this to their attention, they argue! The nerve of some people! Full of screaming children, just an unpleaant time all around.

Onion Omlettes were free for us. Not sure what happened.
Posted by AllChokedUp on 06/29/2008
I have eaten there a few times but the last was the worst and final time I will ever eat there again. The male server seemed he didnt want to be there and had such a negative attitude. I never understand why they put the salad in the smoking section. Not only was it hard to breath while getting the salad, the food smelled like smoke also...

Chris Brown is planning a crazy performance for the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, according to reports. The star is up for three Grammys - Best R & B Album, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song - at the annual music extravaganza.
"Chris has been rehearsing non-stop," a source close to the singer said. "He wants to give the audience and his fans an over top the performance. Chris has put a lot of pressure on himself to deliver, and he will deliver, he always does."
He won't be doing interviews, though ... until 2013 or later.
It was only three years ago that Brown was arrested for felony battery on his then girlfriend, Rihanna, on the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards.
"Chris is hopeful that his performance will close that chapter on his life," says the source. "He will be bringing his mom to the awards ceremony, she is his biggest fan, and he has told her he is dedicating his performance to her."
"Chris has grown tremendously as a person, and an artist from that time in his life. He's complied with all terms of his probation. He has been a model probationer, but more importantly, Chris accepted responsibility for what he did."

I recently brewed a Piraat clone, and it came out way too dry with hardly any sweetness. OG was 1.076, FG was 1.010. Piraat is recognized for being on the sweet side. Since the fermentation has already completed, I'm about to throw it into the secondary to let it condition. After that, bottling time. I'm thinking about using maltodextrin to add some mouthfeel, but I'm (moreover) searching for something I can use to bring up the sweetness and balance out the spiciness of the yeast and hops. Any ideas?
Also, I have never used any DME to prime. The recipe calls for 1 1/4 cup wheat DME at prime time. Not sure what flavor or sweetness effect the DME will have on the beer once it has been bottled. I know that DME is very fermentable, but I'm not experienced enough to know its priming and flavoring/sweetening charactaristics. Does anyone have a standard solution to make this? How many cups of water should I boil?
One quart of water with the DME is pretty standard. Because of the small amount of sugar used for priming it doesn't effect flavor much. You might consider using corn syrup. It's the easiest method I have found. I did a blog post on that recently:http://woodlandbrew.blogspot.com/201...orn-syrup.html
As for sweetening beer post fermentation lactose comes to mind, but I haven't tried that so can't say how well that might work.

My brother and I took our elderly mother to Rome and stayed in this beautiful apartment. There are two short flights of stairs, but they have banisters, so my mother was able to get up them. She needed help getting in and out of the shower because it's a step up. Otherwise, the apartment is great. The sofa bed is comfortable. The bed in the bedroom is comfortable. The kitchen is not big or elaborate, but it's functional. The location is terrific--right near the Campo de Fiori, etc.

We would stay here again. Plenty of room with separate bedroom. Kids slept on a double and single sleeper. Ample seating for all five of us to sit around and play cards at night. Air conditioning was a huge plus as it was 95 degrees outside. Nice size bathroom. Close to bus stop, grocery store and restaurants. 10 minute walk to Piazza Navona, Campo di Fiori and 10-15 minute walk to Vatican. No close metro though.

The 1-BR Apt worked well for 2 adult friends staying 6 days. Location was good, a bit removed from the heavily touristed areas. Apt was not elegantly furnished by any means, but a little more interesting than the interior photo. Plenty of hot water. Sleep sofa in the LR was very comfortable and made a very credible bed. Staff was efficient and helpful. Many bus lines stop nearby. Would recommend it.

We had a fabulous stay in Rome. The apartment was central, so that we walked everywhere, but also very quiet as it was restricted area for cars.This is fine if you arrive by taxi, and actually very close if you have a car but we did not know this.The only issue that we had with the apartment was a very small hot water tank, it gave 2 very very quick showers, and there were 4 of us. We would definitely recommend it, and would stay again.

We really enjoyed staying at this apartment rather than a hotel. There was so much more room and a full kitchen. My husband and I had our own private room and all three children slept very comfortable in the living room on the fold out sofa's. The apartment was very clean and very quiet. We traveled to Rome at the end of November and the temperature of the apartment stayed at a very comfortable temperature. We were met at the apartment by a representative of the property. He was extremly helpful and very nice. He told us places to eat and how far everything was. Were parking was (Yes, we acutally drove to Rome, wont do it again though)and anything else that we could think of to ask him. Everything that he told us was correct. Even down to the prices at a wonderful restraunt. Right across the street was an excellent coffee bar wich was a perfect way to start the mornings. The kitchen was a great asset. We always get a little tired of dining out for every meal so it was a welcome change to be able to make breakfast and lunch for ourselves. The market Campo di Fiore was about a 10 minute walk (if you take the right streets).We used our GPS for this. Lots of fresh foods to buy. The property rep. Also told us where to go for grocery stores and which ones were most and least expensive. We will be coming back to Rome and if we can we would definatly like to stay in this apartment again. We highly recomend it!!!

The Buddy Holly Center features 2,500 square feet of gallery space dedicated to the presentation of changing contemporary visual arts programs. These exhibitions are a continuation of a tradition of quality initiatives that were presented by the Lubbock Fine Arts Center from 1984 - 1998. With the relocation of the Fine Arts program to the Buddy Holly Center in 1999, we continue the commitment to present challenging visual arts exhibitions that serve as a crucial resource for showcasing contemporary arts of the region and the nation. Art is a form of communication independent of language. It is a way of manifesting human uniqueness. It is a way of reminding us that life is infinitely fragile, infinitely precious.
October 17 – November 23, 2014
The Buddy Holly Center is proud to announce the opening of Celebraciόn, an annual invitational exhibition of artwork that explores the history and meaning behind the Mexican holiday, Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Día de los Muertos blends the Catholic traditions of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day (November 1st & 2nd) with pre-Columbian concepts of death that have been a part of Mexican society since Aztec times. Modern traditional Día de los Muertos festivities take place on November 1st and 2nd, and are a time of remembrance, reunion and feasting. The exhibition includes artwork from local, national and international artists. Artists are asked to interpret Día de los Muertos by creating works honoring departed ancestors, friends and family.
Recycled, Re-seen December 5, 2014 - February 22, 2015
Reduce, reuse, recycle. For the five local artists in this exhibition, that expression takes on new meaning as they re-see discarded materials and transform them into works of art.

Offers in Compromise
When you have been assessed with a substantial tax bill, it is sometimes possible to wipe your tax slate clean at an enormous discount.

Ability to Discharge Tax Liabilities in Bankruptcy: Limited Exceptions
Tax liabilities as a general rule can not be discharged in bankruptcy unless the taxpayer meets certain strict tests. Otherwise, an individual debtor will remain liable after bankruptcy to the extent non-dischargeable tax claims cannot be satisfied out of the bankruptcy estate.
Three Year Rule
The three year rule prohibits the discharge of taxes, measured by income or gross receipts, that relate to returns that were required to be filed three years, including extensions, before the date of the filing of the bankruptcy petition. The due date of the return and not the date when the taxes are assessed determines this priority. That is, tax returns must have bee filed three years and one day before the bankruptcy petition was filed in order to discharge income taxes. For example, an individual income tax return is due by April 15th, so to discharge the taxes, the return must have been filed by the due date, and this must be more than three years before the bankruptcy petition is filed.
Two Year Rule if Return is Not Filed or Filed Late
Under applicable bankruptcy law (Section 523(a)(1)(B), excepts from discharge a tax with respect to which either a return was not filed or was filed late and within two years of the petition. So, a taxpayer remains liable where one files his tax returns late but not more than two years prior to filing the bankruptcy petition. The tax debt is dischargeable if the underlying tax return that the liability arose out of was filed after two years before the filing of the bankruptcy petition. Case law supports a strict interpretation.
Penalties and Interest: Dischargeable
The code provides that a tax penalty or interest is dischargeable if it is related to a dischargeable tax liability. That is, interest and penalties become dischargeable if related with a tax year three years before filing the petition in bankruptcy.
Payroll Taxes, Withholding Taxes: Not excepted from Discharge
Any tax required to be collected or withheld and for which the debtor is liable in whatever capacity. This category would include sales tax, income tax withholding on wages and withholding on an employee's share of social security tax.
Returns Prepared by the IRS
Although Bankruptcy Code Section 523(a) provides that returns filed late but after two years before the date of the filing of the bankruptcy petition can be discharged, IRC Section 6020(b) filings (where the IRS assesses the tax for the taxpayer) do not constitute return filing by the debtor. Consequently, returns not deemed filed by the debtor for purposes of bankruptcy rules can't be discharged.
Eight Month Rule and OIC
Taxes measured by income or gross receipts assessed within 240 days before the date of filing of the bankruptcy petition can not be discharged. This provision would apply of the taxpayer did not timely file the tax return or if assessments had been made prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition and within the 240 days. As to OIC's, the 240 day period is extended for the time, plus 30 days if an OIC is pending.

Schweizer appeared on Boomtown," a one-hour investigative feature that ran on Fox News' "Hannity" on Friday with Steve Bannon, Executive Chairman of Breitbart News, and Sean Hannity. He stated the mainstream media live in Washington, D.C. and they like associating with the permanent political class, especially as the cronyism they enable allows the D.C. elite to extract wealth from taxpayers to enrich themselves. Washington's per capita income has surpassed that of even Silicon Valley, even though Washington does not produce valuable goods. The permanent political class, the three asserted, have an incentive to expand the size and scope of government to further enrich themselves. Hannity noted the mainstream media want access, dinners, and invites to parties. He proudly claimed he has never been to the White House Correspondents Dinner, which has been dubbed as "Nerd Prom" but is emblematic of the the incestuous relationship of the permanent political class and the mainstream media. Hannity recounted a time he came to Washington two years ago and went to the Breitbart Embassy in Washington, D.C. with Bannon and the late Andrew Breitbart. Hannity said he just could not stand D.C. and had to get out of town immediately. "I gotta get out here," Hannity said he remembers thinking when he was in Washington, D.C. for an event.

text: Netflix Teams with Marvel for Original Superhero Shows Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 7 Nov 2013 post a comment No one can accuse Netflix of sitting on its king of streaming content throne. The new media giant just announced a major deal with Marvel Studios to bring four original series to the company to stream starting in 2015. Marvel Entertainment President Alan Fine says the shows will be "a serialized epic" that begins with Marvel's "Daredevil" and is followed by "Jessica Jones," "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage." It will conclude with a miniseries of "The Defenders." Netflix scored early and often with its initial foray into original content, witness well-received titles like Lilyhammer, Orange Is the New Black, Arrested Development and House of Cards. The Marvel move promises to capitalize on the still-booming superhero craze. That isn't the only aggressive move on the company's docket. Netflix is also dabbling in 4K visual technology, or Ultra High Definition streaming. During a recent earnings call, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said Netflix wants to be "one of the big suppliers of 4K content next year." As The Verge noted earlier this year, Netflix's House of Cards was shot in 4K. "It's being mastered in full HD, but the raw footage, or a good chunk of it, was shot in 4K, and we hope to have some House of Cards 4K encodes later this year," Netflix told the blog. Televisions and tablets utilizing 4K technology are rare at this point, but Netflix is positioning itself to be a player in the market should 4K products capture the consumer's imagination in the coming years. Netflix users also may have noticed a steadier stream of new content in recent weeks, showing the company is focusing both on today's customers as well as those it attracts tomorrow.

News Digest
city streets, the District of Columbia PSC told Potomac Electric Power Co. to inspect its low-voltage distribution cables and to consider developing a program for replacing cables older than 20 years. It also asked Pepco to consider the feasibility of separating primary and secondary underground cables as well as transformers. .
Transmission & ISOs
Congestion Management. Utilities, power producers, and transmission owners and operators still were fighting among themselves over the future design of markets and rules in the New England region, even after the FERC a month earlier had OK'd a new congestion management system for the New England ISO.
As of late July, parties were calling for rehearing on the FERC decision, raising complaints on numerous issues, running the gamut from generator scheduling and congestion contract rights, to capacity requirements, transmission planning and the division of authority between the ISO and the New England Power Pool.
Even so, the ISO admitted it would take two years to implement the new model, during which time the region would continue to "socialize" congestion costs, spreading them among all buyers and sellers. Commissioner William Massey termed the delay "bad news," and urged the ISO to save time by buying the same software already used by the PJM ISO. The Maine PUC, one of those urging a rehearing, asked the FERC why it had not turned to the alternative proposal of the "Anti-Subsidy" coalition for immediate relief, since the FERC had found in effect that continued cost socialization qualified under the Federal Power Act as an unjust and unreasonable rate.
- The ISO attacked the FERC for requiring a second category of fixed congestion rights (FCRs) that would operate like hedging options, so that holders would not have to pay even if congestion occurred in the opposite direction as assumed by the FCR. "An option-type FCR is a worthwhile product," the ISO admitted, "but like many new concepts, it involves considerable complexity and implementation challenges."
- The ISO also opposed the FERC rule allowing power producers to "self-schedule" by submitting essentially a zero bid, to guarantee dispatch and avoid any ramp-down despite the ultimate clearing price. Instead, it suggested a system of negative decremental bids, as permitted in New York and proposed in PJM.
- Enron asked the FERC why it denied authority to the ISO to eliminate its installed capacity (ICAP) requirement, even though the commission agreed that the existing auction process could inflate prices in a way unrelated to the problem of capacity deficiency. Enron termed the ICAP rule a "second-best" determination of need, "when market prices can do so much better." It touted testimony from Maryland economics professor Peter Cramton, who called ICAP a holdover, and attacked opinions offered generators who "make money from the ICAP obligation."
- National Grid, NSTAR, and several others opposed the new model because it "strips" NEPOOL transmission owners (TOs) from direct decision making in regional planning for transmission expansion, other than fulfilling a backstop role in case the ISO committee cannot reach a consensus, on the assumption that TOs, the FERC said, would "bias the plan in favor

The box office collision between Jab Tak Hai Jaan starring Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn's Son Of Sardaar on November 13 always going to be a clash of titans. In an unexpected twist, Ajay Devgn Films accused Yash Raj Films, producer of Jab Tak Hai Jaan, of using it's dominant position to edge Son Of Sardaar out of the competition. Ajay Devgn alleged that his film was not finding enough single screen theatres.
The Competition Commission of India rejected Ajay's petition filed against Yash Raj Films today. Ajay has now approached the Competition Apellate Tribunal.
Here's what happened, and who said what:
Ajay Devgn's production house claims Yash Raj Films 'armtwisted' distributors to keep Son Of Sardaar out of theaters. A legal notice sent by his production house to Yash Raj Films stated that a complaint had been filed with the Competition Commission of India. Ajay says he filed the complaint after sending messages to Yash Raj Films. "Through people messages were sent and things were spoken. Directly I haven't met them ...I don't share that rapport with them. And through exhibitors themselves we tried to manage things but when it did not happen..then," he told PTI.
Earlier, YRF in a statement had claimed to have booked less than 1,500 single screens out of the 10,500-plus single screens available on all-India basis. They also said, "When we approached the theatre owners earlier this year, they were more than happy to accommodate Jab Tak Hai Jaan, owing to their long relationship with the production house. No one was forced to include our film in their theatres." Yash Raj Films closed it's distribution deals before the release of it's previous film, Ek Tha Tiger starring Salman Khan. Some theatres who screened Ek Tha Tiger have apparently chosen not to show Jab Tak Hai Jaan at all.
Ajay says this is not true. "Out of the 10,000 screens if they have booked 1,500 and I have 8,000 screens then am I fool to spend money and lose my reputation and go to court. It does not make sense logically. Secondly going by the statistics then out of the 10,000-12,000 screens more than 5,000-6,000 are in South where only regional films release," he told PTI. "Then in the remaining 4,000-4,500 screens 1,500-2,000 are closed... Those which are operational are less. For example in Dadar there are about seven single screen theatres they have booked six, in Delhi there are 21 single screens we have three.. This is something that has never happened before. You can verify it," he added.
Ajay also told PTI that he had filed the notice much before the death of Yash Chopra on October 21. "I had filed the complaint much before the demise of Yash Chopra. When this happened I was like people are going to target me and nobody is going to understand my point of view. I was a villain on both sides. I couldn't withdraw it (notice) from the Competition Commission. It is not a normal court," Ajay said. "I respected Yashji as much anybody else does. We have grown up watching his films," he added.
Shah Rukh Khan, star of Jab Tak Hai Jaan which is the last film directed by Yash Chopra, says the controversy is a legal matter and has nothing to do with him. "I was reading about it today. There are enough screens. These are all legal matters and thankfully it's not my production company," Shah Rukh told reporters at a press meet on his 47th birthday in Mumbai. "I hope they resolve it and on this Friday both the films do well. I have nothing against anyone. I have no problem with anyone," he said.

The next generation F30 3-series sedan is currently undergoing winter testing in northern Sweden. It wears the same heavy camouflage as the previous sightings, so these photos are best for determining proportions, size, and stance. Thus far, the F30 test mules spied have all had great proportions and stance. The F30 will be slightly larger and have a longer wheelbase than the current E90 sedan but features shorter overhangs to maintain sporty and squat proportions. Consistent with current BMW design language, the F30 will have wider … CONTINUED
Autoexpress previews the 2012 F30 3-series sedan and 2014 F32 M3 coupe. Not much info is new here than what we have previously posted, but their renders are a fun look at what the next generation F30 and F32 3-series and M3 may resemble.
Consistent with what we have posted in the past, the front fascia features a more upright angle, consistent with BMW's current designs seen in the Z4, 5-series and 7-series. The F30/F32 3-series is also expected to be slightly larger in size, but with … CONTINUED
We previously posted spy photos of the F30s interior which was a dummy interior from the 1-series, but the F30 mules have now been fitted with production form interiors. Visible now is the steering wheel, entire driver console – including tach and speedometer, as well as parts of the center console and interior door. Exterior-wise, the same camouflage remains as in previous F30 sightings.
Compared to the E90 3-series, the F30 will feature a … CONTINUED
The next generation 3-series lineup (expected beginning 2012) will include a Gran Turismo (GT) model. Scott26 provides a preview of the F3x 3-series GT, calling it a shrunken down CS Concept. Details and preview renderings inside.
The F30 3-series is due in a year and a half so its details and features will gradually come to light, but for now it's interesting to speculate on its likely features. Have some thoughts on possible F30 equipment and features? Share them and see how accurate you are come 2012.
This isn't the first time we've spotted an F30 335i in testing, but it's been quite a while. This next generation 335i prototype was recently spotted testing in public in Germany. The interior remains a dummy interior (from the 1-series) fitted for testing purposes only. We've yet to spot the production F30 interior.
Compared to the E90 3-series, the F30 will feature a longer wheelbase, but shorter shorter overhangs, for a sporty squat look. It will also have wider and lower kidney grilles. Engine options will include … CONTINUED
This F30 3-series test mule was spied at BMW's M Test Center at the Ring this past weekend. No more revealing except a new set of wheels, but we again see its balanced proportions and shape. The F30 3-series is expected to debut publicly at the 2012 Geneva Autoshow in March 2012.
The cover of the latest auto moto, a french auto magazine, features their prediction of what the 2012 F30 3-series sedan may look like. This render seems to draw heavily on cues from the newest BMWs such as the F10 5-series, F07 5-series GT, F01 7-series, and even E89 Z4. Opinions?
We bring you the first video of the F30 / F31 3-series Touring prototype on the streets of Germany. Most of the car is still clad in heavy camouflage, but as with the F30 sedan spy photos so far, shape, size, and proportions can be gleamed from these early spy photos/videos.
According to our BMW Roadmap, the next generation 3-series sedan and touring are expected sometime in 2012. Several variants are expected of the next gen 3-series, including sedan, … CONTINUED
Some new photos of the 2012 F30 3-series, spied testing in the German countryside. Not a whole lot new is gleamed from these photos, but it's always good to see the F30 continue its testing. Based on the info we've heard, the F30 sedan may debut at the 2012 Geneva autoshow.
We recently brought you PHOTOS of the next gen F30 3-series testing at the Nurburgring. We now bring you the best F30 3-series video yet, both in testing on the Ring and driving in public. The next F30 3-series is expected to debut in 2012.
Jon Sibal shares his latest renders of the 2012 3-series (F30) sedan, which is said by BMW insider Scott26 to be the closest example yet. Said to be an evolutionary jump from the E90 and taking cues from the F10 5-series, the main face and rear are supposed to be considerably sharper than the 5-series.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of their 2001 breakthrough Full Collapse, Thursday will be playing that seminal release in full on every date of this winter tour with Underoath. The early '00s were heady times for the New Jersey group and contemporaries like Poison The Well and Snapcase, who took their cues from bands as disparate as The Smiths, Fugazi and most everything on the Gravity Records label in the early '90s. Thursday led screamo's charge on the pop charts with Collapse, released at the beginning of Victory Records' short reign as the bearer of all things featuring the screamo sound and stereotypical guyliner look. Collapse has aged gracefully, even if it sounds a little mopey and tinny a decade after making its initial impact. Blame the thousand bands who copped and improved on its sound in its wake. Thursday's next album, 2003 major-label bow War All the Time, has fared a sight better.

It's all over, as they say, but the shouting. President Barack Obama's jocular mood gave it away. In New Year's Eve remarks to the nation about the state of negotiations over a deficit-reduction deal, the president said an agreement was in sight, "but it's not done."

Behind the scenes, though, aides circulated the key points of a pending deal that Senate Republican leaders had tentatively agreed to, having brought Vice President Joe Biden into rescue the talks on Sunday evening.

Before we get to the fine print, here's the hedge: As of Monday afternoon, there was so much grumbling from the left that Obama felt he had to appear in public to sell the deal. He needs Democrats to back the package, the highlight of which is a tax increase for household earnings above $450,000 per year, because there won't be enough Republican support -- especially in the House, which has scheduled no vote tonight -- to seal the deal. The package, while more favorable to Democrats than to Republicans, comes with a dose of castor oil.

Any deal to avert the fiscal cliff was always going to have to appeal to lawmakers whose political leanings are between the 20-yard lines -- in other words, not so rigid that they can't swallow a tax increase or a spending cut of any size. This package is designed to do just that. It would raise about $600 billion in revenue by increasing tax rates to 39.6 percent on earnings above $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples. It would reinstate tax provisions, ended by the Bush-era tax cuts, that had phased out personal exemptions and deductions for upper-income taxpayers. Taxes on dividends and capital gains would jump to 20 percent from 15 percent for the top five percent of taxpayers. Estate taxes would rise to 40 percent from 35 percent, with the exclusion from taxation remaining at $5 million, or $10 million for a couple.

All tax rates, including for wage-earners above the new cutoff, would be made permanent. The alternative minimum tax would be stopped from hitting millions of middle-class households, and cuts in Medicare payments to physicians would be halted. Both those fixes would be permanent, as well.

On the spending side, Obama played -- and won -- a strong hand. Expiring unemployment benefits would wisely be extended another year, as would tax credits to encourage production of renewable energy and research and experimentation. An array of tax credits enacted during the financial crisis to help low-income families, students and small-business owners would get another five years.

More good news for Democrats: The package contains no new entitlement cuts and no reduction in cost-of-living increases for Social Security recipients.

All told, it appears to be a very nice belated Christmas present for congressional Democrats. But before you conclude that Obama outfoxed the Republicans, take a look at what's missing: The parties remain at odds over whether and how to stop $110 billion in automatic spending cuts in 2013. Republicans say that, to end the sequestration, as it's called, they want spending cuts of a similar scale elsewhere. The amount of new revenue, $600 billion over 10 years, is also far less than the $1.6 trillion in Obama's opening bid -- and even less than the $800 billion that House Speaker John Boehner once agreed to. Some Democrats are further miffed that the Republicans seem to have redefined the middle class as households earning more than $450,000.

Worst of all, there is no increase in the debt ceiling. In February, Republicans hope to use the debt limit as leverage to force Democrats to find $1 in spending cuts (read: entitlements) for every $1 in new borrowing authority.

That helps explain why the president somewhat awkwardly made his bully pulpit appearance at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, next to the White House, today. The purpose was to declare that, in Round Three of Washington's ongoing deficit-reduction match (current negotiations are Round Two, while Round One was the 2011 Budget Control Act, in which Congress agreed to $1.1 trillion in spending cuts), he will insist on more tax increases.

Obama said he would be willing to overhaul Medicare, but that any reforms must go hand-in-hand with tax reforms that raise new revenue. And then came the kicker, aimed straight at hesitant Democrats, including Senator Tom Harkin, the Iowa Democrat, and some liberal bloggers, who think Obama has caved: "If Republicans think I will finish the job of deficit reduction through spending cuts" after this package is approved, he said, "then they have another thing coming."

Harkin (or any senator) can singlehandedly hold up a Senate vote on the deal under the rules for expedited action on legislation. After all this, though, doing so would take chutzpah -- and the willingness to take the blame for a stomach-churning market drop on Jan. 2.

text: Lamar Alexander Embraces Amnesty Again after Primary Win Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 11 Aug 2014 post a comment It didn't take long for Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) to embrace amnesty again. As soon as he won his Senate primary election against conservative Joe Carr, Alexander said it was "embarrassing" that Republicans have not yet passed a bill. Never mind that Alexander spent nearly his entire primary campaign trying to convince voters that he was against "amnesty" and would never dare to embrace it before the primary election. "I don't know how it will affect our politics in the near term," Alexander told Politico of a comprehensive immigration bill. "I think it's embarrassing for us not to deal with the problem, and I think we should do it in the next two years." And though Alexander claimed that he won the primary because he did not run away from his record, he aired a deceptive ad in the final week of the campaign that claimed he "voted to end amnesty." "Last year, I voted to end amnesty," Alexander claimed in his closing campaign ad, despite his vote for the Senate's amnesty bill. As Breitbart News reported, "Even after law enforcement officials warned him that the Senate's 'Gang of Eight' amnesty bill would worsen the border crisis, Alexander voted for ... the Senate bill [that] provided a pathway to citizenship for nearly all of the country's illegal immigrants." Alexander also claimed in the ad that he "voted against President Obama's immigration bill" before the recess. But as Breitbart News also reported, "When Alexander had a chance to help Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) kill the Senate's border bill, he was absent, which means he neither voted for nor against it." After Carr made Alexander's vote for the Senate's "Gang of Eight" amnesty bill the focal point of his campaign, Alexander failed to receive a majority of the vote on primary night. In fact, Alexander's showing was "by far the lowest winning percentage and margin of victory ever recorded in a primary for a Republican U.S. Senator" from Tennessee, according to a University of Minnesota analysis.
