Re: Asus K55N cpu and wifi card upgrade
I don't remember seeing any BGA part AMD CPU, so I'd say it's a socket and is removable (like the K53TA)
Try confirming again though, because I might be wrong.MacBook 5.1 - ASUS N43SM

Re: Asus K55N cpu and wifi card upgrade
The A8-4500M/A10-4600M use a FS1r2 scoket. You should be able to swap APUs without any other implications.
Most Asus laptops do not have a "whitelist" and will accept a wide range of wireless cards (other than those shipped from the factory) provided you have the corresponding drivers/applications.

There were several issues in this: 1. unsupported methods might not even be seen by the WebDAV server application (or recognized as WebDAV methods). 2. Refreshing locks on PROPFIND by _any_ client (PROPFIND does not check on If: headers) will give unpredictable timeout behavior. Checking with PROPFIND if a lock is still there has counterproductive side effects.

Some Idiot Tried to Sell a Halloween Mask of the "Dark Knight Rises" Shooter on eBay
Every Halloween you're gonna get some guys who want to go for the OFFENSIVE and SHOCKING costume. But there are a few lines you just don't want to cross.
--On Friday, some idiot tried to sell a professionally-made mask of the guy who shot up the "Dark Knight Rises" theater in Colorado. The mask is complete with the wild orange hair and the big, crazy eyes.
--The seller started the bidding at $500. But eBay must've been flooded with complaints, because they cancelled the auction in a few hours. eBay bans listings that, quote, "attempt to profit from human tragedy or suffering."
--There were no bids when eBay yanked the listing.
--Josh Nolan is one of the shooting victims . . . he survived gunshots to the arm and leg. He's glad eBay pulled the mask down, and said, quote, "Are you kidding me? That just took the cake right there. I'm too upset to think about it."

Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS) / Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD)
All women who complained of PSAS were subject to in depth interviews and many medical examinations such as MRI scans of the pelvis and the brain. The study found that most women with PSAS, who participated in the study, also had restless legs, overactive bladder and pelvic varicosis.
Another study attempted to establish that PSAS is different from hypersexuality. The study compared Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores of women with persistent sexual arousal syndrome compared with published scores of women with female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) and healthy controls.
The overall sexual functioning of women with PSAS who participated in the study was found to be within the normal range and was significantly better than that of women diagnosed with Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD).
The research concluded that there was no evidence to believe that women who meet the criteria for a diagnosis of PSAS are hypersexual.
A study released in November 2007 found that Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome can lead to various other psychological problems such as depression, anxiety and panic attacks.

Convicted killer allegedly attacked by fellow inmate
According to a Grafton County Superior Court grand jury indictment released Friday, Benjamin Dwyer Allen, of West Lebanon, who will be 30 on Tuesday, is charged with assaults by prisoners for an altercation last month with LaCombe.
Allen, on Jan. 19, "punched and kicked Robert R. LaCombe in the head and/or body," according to the indictment. The charge is one of two similar Class B felony indictments against Allen that the grand jury handed up at its February session. Allen is also accused of punching inmate Benjamin Goodwin in the head and/or face and/or stomach on Nov. 3 last year.
LaCombe has begun a term of 55 years to life for the shooting deaths of a young Grafton couple - Will Hatch and Crystal Farnham - who befriended the jobless LaCombe, feeding, housing and otherwise supporting him over some four months.
When the couple finally had their fill of the long-term guest and asked him to leave, he turned on them and killed them in a vicious 2011 attack at their home that involved multiple shootings of each victim, a state prosecutor said Thursday.
Before he was sentenced Thursday and transported to Concord, LaCombe had to face the verbal wrath of a number of his victims' family members who were given the opportunity to speak in superior court. None of them thought his sentence was adequate.
If he meets behavioral conditions in the coming decades, LaCombe could get 15 years taken off his 55-year minimum sentence. If that happens, and even with the credit he got for nearly two years in the Grafton County jail, the 26-year-old LaCombe would be around 60 when he got out.

Its free that means no SLA.
No not good enough massive adoption and no support = bad press and developer avoidance we will bring google down.
I agree. A company as big as Google who push this into schools who then don't offer support to those that need is not helping themselves. A try weekly and still not working
It would be better if they charged a small amount. Just so their was some support.

Test Results May Mark Spread Of Swine Flu To New York
A crisis could be coming
Melvin Baker - AHN Reporter
New York, NY (AHN) - Health officials here are expected to announce as early as today whether it was swine flu that sickened dozens of students at a private school in Queens.
If so, it would heighten concerns nationwide about the spread of a disease that has killed 68 people and strickened about 1,000 in Mexico.
Six persons in California and two in Texas have been confirmed to have contracted the illness by the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A third case, of a high school student in San Antonio, Texas, was reported on Friday.
U.S. health officials say the U.S. cases of swine flu have similar characteristics to the deadly strain in Mexico.
In the latest cases in New York, about 75 students at St. Stephens Preparatory School fell ill on Thursday with nausea, fever, dizziness and aches and pains.

Mexico fights swine flu with 'pandemic potential'
SoCals link: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090425/.../med_swine_flu
MEXICO CITY – A new swine flu strain that has killed as many as 68 people and sickened more than 1,000 across Mexico has "pandemic potential," the World Health Organization chief said Saturday, and it may be too late to contain the sudden outbreak.
The disease has already reached Texas and California, and with 24 new suspected cases reported Saturday in Mexico City alone, schools were closed and all public events suspended in the capital until further notice — including more than 500 concerts and other gatherings in the metropolis of 20 million.
A hot line fielded 2,366 calls in its first hours from frightened city residents who suspected they might have the disease. Soldiers and health workers handed out masks at subway stops, and hospitals dealt with crowds of people seeking help.
The World Health Organization's director-general, Margaret Chan, said the outbreak of the never-before-seen virus is a very serious situation and has "pandemic potential." But she said it is still too early to tell if it would become a worldwide outbreak.
"The situation is evolving quickly," Chan said in a telephone news conference in Geneva. "A new disease is by definition poorly understood."
This virus is a mix of human, pig and bird strains that prompted WHO to meet Saturday to consider declaring an international public health emergency — a step that could lead to travel advisories, trade restrictions and border closures. Spokesman Gregory Hartl said a decision would not be made Saturday.
Scientists have warned for years about the potential for a pandemic from viruses that mix genetic material from humans and animals. Another reason to worry is that authorities said the dead so far don't include vulnerable infants and elderly. The Spanish flu pandemic, which killed at least 40 million people worldwide in 1918-19, also first struck otherwise healthy young adults.
This swine flu and regular flu can have similar symptoms — mostly fever, cough and sore throat, though some of the U.S. victims who recovered also experienced vomiting and diarrhea. But unlike with regular flu, humans don't have natural immunity to a virus that includes animal genes — and new vaccines can take months to bring into use.
But experts at the WHO and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the nature of this outbreak may make containment impossible. Already, more than 1,000 people have been infected in as many as 14 of Mexico's 32 states, according to daily newspaper El Universal. Tests show 20 people have died of the swine flu, and 48 other deaths were probably due to the same strain.
The CDC and Canadian health officials were studying samples sent from Mexico, and airports around the world were screening passengers from Mexico for symptoms of the new flu strain, saying they may quarantine passengers.
But CDC officials dismissed the idea of trying that in the United States, and some expert said it's too late to try to contain spread of the virus.
They noted there had been no direct contact between the cases in the San Diego and San Antonio areas, suggesting the virus had already spread from one geographic area through other undiagnosed people.
"Anything that would be about containing it right now would purely be a political move," said Michael Osterholm, a University of Minnesota pandemic expert.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon said his government only discovered the nature of the virus late Thursday, with the help of international laboratories. "We are doing everything necessary," he said in a brief statement.
But the government had said for days that its growing flu caseload was nothing unusual, so the sudden turnaround angered many who wonder if Mexico missed an opportunity to contain the outbreak.
"Why did it break out, where did it break out? What's the magnitude of the problem?" pizzeria owner David Vasquez said while taking his family to a movie Friday night, despite warnings to stay out of theaters.
Across Mexico's capital, residents reacted with fatalism and confusion, anger and mounting fear at the idea that their city may be ground zero for a global epidemic.
Authorities urged people to stay home if they feel sick and to avoid shaking hands or kissing people on the cheeks.
Outside Hospital Obregon in the capital's middle-class Roma district, a tired Dr. Roberto Ortiz, 59, leaned against an ambulance and sipped coffee Saturday on a break from an unusually busy shift.
"The people are scared," Ortiz said. "A person gets some flu symptoms or a child gets a fever and they think it is this swine flu and rush to the hospital."
He said none of the cases so far at the hospital had turned out to be swine flu.
Jose Donasiano Rosales, 69, got nervous on the subway and decided to get out one stop early.
"I felt I couldn't be there for even one more station," Donasiano said as he set up a rack to sell newspapers on a busy thoroughfare. "We're in danger of contagion. ... I'm worried."
The local Roman Catholic Church recommended that priests shorten Mass; place communion wafers in worshippers' hands, instead of their mouths; and ask parishioners to avoid kissing or shaking hands during the rite of peace. The Archdiocese also said Catholics could fulfill their Mass obligation by radio.
One official said Mexico City may not be the epicenter of the outbreak — and could be appearing to the brunt simply because it is home to the most sophisticated medical centers.
"The country's best health care facilities are concentrated in the city," said city Health Secretary Armando Ahued. "All the cases here get reported, that's why the number is so high."
The same virus also sickened at least eight people in Texas and California, though there have been no deaths north of the border, puzzling experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A "seed stock" genetically matched to the new swine flu virus has been created by the CDC, said Dr. Richard Besser, the agency's acting director. If the government decides vaccine production is necessary, manufacturers would need that stock to get started.
The CDC says two flu drugs, Tamiflu and Relenza, seem effective against the new strain. Roche, the maker of Tamiflu, said the company is prepared to immediately deploy a stockpile of the drug if requested. Both drugs must be taken early, within a few days of the onset of symptoms, to be most effective.
Mexico's Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova said the country has enough Tamiflu to treat 1 million people — only one in 20 people in greater Mexico City alone — and that the medicine will be strictly controlled and handed out only by doctors.
At Mexico's National Institute of Respiratory Illnesses, Adrian Anda waited to hear whether his 15-year-old daughter had the frightening new disease. She had been suffering a cough and fever for a week.
"If they say that it is, then we'll suffer. Until then, we don't want to think about it," he said.

nothing to do with the Mexican race by the way... It's just a contagious strand of the flu that somehow got here.

Why is it called "swine" flu. Don't all forms of influenza come from birds ---> pigs ----> humans?

I take a zinc tablet every day and haven't had the flu in at least 5 years.

US declares swine flu outbreak a health emergency
8 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) — The United States declared a swine flu outbreak a public health emergency Sunday as officials confirmed 20 cases in five US states and warned that they expected more in the coming days.
President Barack Obama is monitoring the spreading virus and has reviewed US capabilities to counter the deadly flu outbreak, which has killed up to 81 people in Mexico, White House homeland security advisor John Brennan told reporters.
Obama has ordered a "very active, aggressive, and coordinated response," Brennan said.
Richard Besser, the acting head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told a White House press conference that there were eight confirmed US cases in New York City, seven in California, two in Texas, two in Kansas and one in Ohio.
"As we look for cases of swine flu, we are seeing more cases of swine flu. We expect to see more cases of swine flu," said Besser.
"We're responding aggressively to try and learn more about this outbreak" and to implement measures to control its spread, he added.
"We've ramped up our surveillance around the country to try and understand better what is the scope, what is the magnitude of this outbreak."
Although there the government has not issued a warning against travel to Mexico, Besser said warnings could be increased "based on what the situation warrants."
Homeland Security Department Secretary Janet Napolitano said the US government would officially declare a public health emergency later on Sunday in response to the outbreak, adding that the declaration was "standard operating procedure."
The move allows government agencies to free up federal, state and local agencies and their resources in preventing the spread of the virus.
The declaration also allows officials to use medication and diagnostic tests and releases funds to purchase additional antiviral medication.
"All persons entering the United States from a location of human infection of swine flu will be processed through all appropriate CDC protocols," she added.
Suspected swine flu cases were being tested in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, after the new strain gain attention out of Mexico last week.
Health officials in Canada have reported a total of six confirmed cases of the potentially deadly virus.
World Health Organization (WHO) officials warned that the new strain, apparently born when human and avian flu viruses infected pigs and became mixed, could further mutate.
US immigration officials are looking for people with flu symptoms, said Napolitano.
"Travelers who do present with symptoms, if and when encountered, will be isolated per established rules," she said.
"They will be provided both with personal protective equipment and we'll continue to emphasize universal hand washing."
Similar emergency health declarations were issued for floods in recent months in the US states of Minnesota and North Dakota and President Barack Obama's inauguration in January.
Napolitano said the government intends to release a quarter of the national stockpile of 50 million doses of the antiviral drugs Tamiflu and Relenza. The drugs would be made available to all US states, especially those with confirmed cases of the flu.
The Pentagon, she added, "has procured and strategically pre-positioned" seven million treatment courses of the flu drug Tamiflu.
In Mexico, President Felipe Calderon urged citizens to consult a doctor if they present flu-like symptoms.
Speaking at a National Health Council event on Sunday, Felipe Calderon said it was necessary for Mexicans to "move fast, but to maintain calm and cooperate with the authorities."

This is probably a manufactured virus. It contains strains from 3 countries, in a way never seen before. Perhaps an accidental release of a test sample.

The new Mexican Swine Flu has elements of DNA from the following: avian flu, human flu Type A, human flu Type B, Asian swine flu, and European swine flu. A strange combination never seen before and having less than 1/10% chance of being a natural event. Human and animal viruses from four or more continents suddenly recombine in a new flu during a non-flu season that spreads from human-to-human with a 10% fatality rating.
While you may think it's fantasy, it's probably reality.

Yeah, just like how SARS and Avian flu almost wiped out civilization.
Oh, Bob, you excluded the part where Napolitano thought calling it an emergency was over the top.
"I wish we could call it a declaration of emergency preparedness"

Meanwhile 50,000 healthy people die in the U.S. each year in completely preventable motor vechicle collisions. Ten times that many are significantly injured. Along comes a virus that kills 60 people in a week and panic ensues.

Influenza infects many animal species, and transfer of viral strains between species can occur. Birds are thought to be the main animal reservoirs of influenza viruses.[109] Sixteen forms of hemagglutinin and nine forms of neuraminidase have been identified. All known subtypes (HxNy) are found in birds, but many subtypes are endemic in humans, dogs, horses, and pigs; populations of camels, ferrets, cats, seals, mink, and whales also show evidence of prior infection or exposure to influenza.[34] Variants of flu virus are sometimes named according to the species the strain is endemic in or adapted to. The main variants named using this convention are: Bird Flu, Human Flu, Swine Flu, Horse Flu and Dog Flu. (Cat flu generally refers to Feline viral rhinotracheitis or Feline calicivirus and not infection from an influenza virus.) In pigs, horses and dogs, influenza symptoms are similar to humans, with cough, fever and loss of appetite.[34] The frequency of animal diseases are not as well-studied as human infection, but an outbreak of influenza in harbour seals caused approximately 500 seal deaths off the New England coast in 19791980.[110] On the other hand, outbreaks in pigs are common and do not cause severe mortality.[34]
Flu symptoms in birds are variable and can be unspecific.[111] The symptoms following infection with low-pathogenicity avian influenza may be as mild as ruffled feathers, a small reduction in egg production, or weight loss combined with minor respiratory disease.[112] Since these mild symptoms can make diagnosis in the field difficult, tracking the spread of avian influenza requires laboratory testing of samples from infected birds. Some strains such as Asian H9N2 are highly virulent to poultry and may cause more extreme symptoms and significant mortality.[113] In its most highly pathogenic form, influenza in chickens and turkeys produces a sudden appearance of severe symptoms and almost 100% mortality within two days.[114] As the virus spreads rapidly in the crowded conditions seen in the intensive farming of chickens and turkeys, these outbreaks can cause large economic losses to poultry farmers.
An avian-adapted, highly pathogenic strain of H5N1 (called HPAI A(H5N1), for "highly pathogenic avian influenza virus of type A of subtype H5N1") causes H5N1 flu, commonly known as "avian influenza" or simply "bird flu", and is endemic in many bird populations, especially in Southeast Asia. This Asian lineage strain of HPAI A(H5N1) is spreading globally. It is epizootic (an epidemic in non-humans) and panzootic (a disease affecting animals of many species, especially over a wide area), killing tens of millions of birds and spurring the culling of hundreds of millions of other birds in an attempt to control its spread. Most references in the media to "bird flu" and most references to H5N1 are about this specific strain.[115][116]
At present, HPAI A(H5N1) is an avian disease, and there is no evidence suggesting efficient human-to-human transmission of HPAI A(H5N1). In almost all cases, those infected have had extensive physical contact with infected birds.[117] In the future, H5N1 may mutate or reassort into a strain capable of efficient human-to-human transmission. The exact changes that are required for this to happen are not well understood.[118] However, due to the high lethality and virulence of H5N1, its endemic presence, and its large and increasing biological host reservoir, the H5N1 virus was the world's pandemic threat in the 200607 flu season, and billions of dollars are being raised and spent researching H5N1 and preparing for a potential influenza pandemic.[119]
Influenzavirus A
This genus has one species, influenza A virus. Wild aquatic birds are the natural hosts for a large variety of influenza A. Occasionally, viruses are transmitted to other species and may then cause devastating outbreaks in domestic poultry or give rise to human influenza pandemics.[29] The type A viruses are the most virulent human pathogens among the three influenza types and cause the most severe disease. The influenza A virus can be subdivided into different serotypes based on the antibody response to these viruses.[30] The serotypes that have been confirmed in humans, ordered by the number of known human pandemic deaths, are:
* H1N1, which caused Spanish flu in 1918
* H2N2, which caused Asian Flu in 1957
* H3N2, which caused Hong Kong Flu in 1968
* H5N1, a pandemic threat in the 200708 flu season
* H7N7, which has unusual zoonotic potential[31]
* H1N2, endemic in humans and pigs
Influenzaviruses A, B and C are very similar in structure.[39] The virus particle is 80120 nanometres in diameter and usually roughly spherical, although filamentous forms can occur.[40] Unusually for a virus, its genome is not a single piece of nucleic acid; instead, it contains seven or eight pieces of segmented negative-sense RNA. The Influenza A genome encodes 11 proteins: hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), nucleoprotein (NP), M1, M2, NS1, NS2(NEP), PA, PB1, PB1-F2 and PB2.[41]
HA and NA are large glycoproteins on the outside of the viral particles. HA is a lectin that mediates binding of the virus to target cells and entry of the viral genome into the target cell, while NA is involved in the release of progeny virus from infected cells, by cleaving sugars that bind the mature viral particles.[42] Thus, these proteins are targets for antiviral drugs.[43] Furthermore, they are antigens to which antibodies can be raised. Influenza A viruses are classified into subtypes based on antibody responses to HA and NA, forming the basis of the H and N distinctions in, for example, H5N1.
Influenza viruses bind through hemagglutinin onto sialic acid sugars on the surfaces of epithelial cells; typically in the nose, throat and lungs of mammals and intestines of birds (Stage 1 in infection figure).[44] The cell imports the virus by endocytosis. In the acidic endosome, part of the hemagglutinin protein fuses the viral envelope with the vacuole's membrane, releasing the viral RNA (vRNA) molecules, accessory proteins and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase into the cytoplasm (Stage 2).[45] These proteins and vRNA form a complex that is transported into the cell nucleus, where the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase begins transcribing complementary positive-sense vRNA (Steps 3a and b).[46] The vRNA is either exported into the cytoplasm and translated (step 4), or remains in the nucleus. Newly-synthesised viral proteins are either secreted through the Golgi apparatus onto the cell surface (in the case of neuraminidase and hemagglutinin, step 5b) or transported back into the nucleus to bind vRNA and form new viral genome particles (step 5a). Other viral proteins have multiple actions in the host cell, including degrading cellular mRNA and using the released nucleotides for vRNA synthesis and also inhibiting translation of host-cell mRNAs.[47]
Negative-sense vRNAs that form the genomes of future viruses, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and other viral proteins are assembled into a virion. Hemagglutinin and neuraminidase molecules cluster into a bulge in the cell membrane. The vRNA and viral core proteins leave the nucleus and enter this membrane protrusion (step 6). The mature virus buds off from the cell in a sphere of host phospholipid membrane, acquiring hemagglutinin and neuraminidase with this membrane coat (step 7).[48] As before, the viruses adhere to the cell through hemagglutinin; the mature viruses detach once their neuraminidase has cleaved sialic acid residues from the host cell.[44] After the release of new influenza viruses, the host cell dies.
Because of the absence of RNA proofreading enzymes, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase makes a single nucleotide insertion error roughly every 10 thousand nucleotides, which is the approximate length of the influenza vRNA. Hence, the majority of newly-manufactured influenza viruses are mutants, causing "antigenic drift".[49] The separation of the genome into eight separate segments of vRNA allows mixing or reassortment of vRNAs if more than one viral line has infected a single cell. The resulting rapid change in viral genetics produces antigenic shifts and allows the virus to infect new host species and quickly overcome protective immunity.[23] This is important in the emergence of pandemics, as discussed below in the section on Epidemiology

KISTLER 2013 CHARDONNAY SONOMA MOUNTAIN 750mLKistler produces one of the more coveted Chardonnays out of California! Their single-vineyard wines receive lofty scores from the critics, and easily command prices in excess of $100.00 to $200.00 per bottle. However, we secured a small allocation of their Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay, which offers many the flavors of the single-vineyard Chardonnays, but at a more affordable price!
The Kistler plantings on Sonoma Mountain, situated on a hillside bench perfectly suited for growing world class Chardonnay, are interlaced with the rare combination of red volcanic and fine grained chalky soils. These are east facing terraced vineyards, shadowed from the afternoon sun by giant redwoods. This is a remarkable marriage of site and orientation to the cooler trendings of the valley below. They are some of the oldest Chardonnay vineyards in Sonoma County.
This wine is tremendously complex, straw/gold colored wine that really does run the entire gamut. It starts off with Burgundian with intense aromas of green apple and sea spray, flavors of flint and citrus, and is structured by vibrant acidity. As the wine opens, it becomes more and more Californian, with notes of roasted almonds, pineapple, lemon bar, marshmallow, toasted oak, and butter notes. Big, lavish, full-bodied, and mouth-watering, there is a reason why Kistler Chardonnays are requested every day of the year...and this is a GREAT representation of their house style.

(Updates with JPMorgan request in second paragraph.)
Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and its creditors faulted JPMorgan Chase & Co. for claiming $700 million from the defunct firm for investment management affiliates, saying the claims weren't "plausible."
JPMorgan, whose subsidiaries provide investment services for hundreds of trillions of dollars of accounts, is seeking to recoup the losses suffered by fund affiliates on investments in Lehman. The bank asked a judge to give the funds a claim on some of the $8.6 billion in collateral that Lehman deposited with the bank before it failed, on the basis that they are affiliates of the bank.
Lehman's creditors committee today joined Lehman in saying that entities receiving investment services from a JPMorgan affiliate are not themselves affiliates, according to a filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.
"Absurd results" would follow from the affiliate definition, creditors said. Some JPMorgan affiliates holding more than $80 million of Lehman's subordinated notes, for instance, filed claims for losses. If they were accorded the same status as the bank, a big lender to Lehman before the 2008 bankruptcy, they would be paid ahead of Lehman's senior debt holders, they said.
Joseph Evangelisti, a JPMorgan spokesman, declined to comment on the filing.
Valid Claims
The JPMorgan affiliates, ranging from pension trusts to Highbridge funds, lost the money on bonds and other investments with Lehman entities, and have valid claims on the defunct firm based on their affiliate status, the bank said in a December court filing. Lehman said the funds aren't affiliates, "merely investment vehicles" for JPMorgan clients who bore the losses, and can't use the collateral to repay themselves.
Separately, New York-based JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank, is fighting a lawsuit by Lehman that alleges the lender helped cause its 2008 collapse by demanding the $8.6 billion in collateral. The bank also is defending $6 billion in claims that Lehman objects to and arguing it acted properly in seeking security for loans made during the credit crisis.
JPMorgan sued Lehman back after the $8.6 billion suit, alleging Lehman defrauded its lender into making the loan. Lehman filed the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history in 2008, listing $613 billion in debt.
The main case is In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., 08-13555, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan). The lawsuit is Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. v. JPMorgan Chase Bank NA, 10-03266, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

"My Lord Doctor. My Lord Master. We are gathered... for the end."We begin with Timothy Dalton narrating over a shot of Earth, gradually zooming in to London. He states that as The End of the World as We Know It approaches, everyone on Earth has been plagued by nightmares, but they've all forgotten, save one man: Wilfred Mott. Wilf enters a church only to see a stained glass window depicting the TARDIS. A woman proceeds to explain to him the "Legend of the Blue Box" and the story of the "Sainted Physician". And then spookily disappears. Cue opening credits....On the Oodsphere, the Doctor steps out of the TARDIS wearing a cowboy hat and a lei around his neck. He decided to take a nice long holiday after his nervous breakdown. After he relates his holiday details to Ood Sigma — including a short-lived marriage to Queen Bess — he locks the TARDIS ("like a car", remote starter and all) and takes a good look at the Ood's capital. After being told it's only been a century since he was last here, he realizes it's been way too soon for the Ood to be well-coordinated enough to send a message back in time. Even worse, the Ood have been having nightmares. Ood Sigma brings the Doctor to a group of Ood, and he shares in their psychic link, showing him images of the Master laughing, Wilf, two complete strangers, Lucy Saxon in prison, and the Master's ring being picked up by a woman. After a warning that the Master's return is only part of a greater plan and the revelation that "time is bleeding", the Doctor freaks out, runs back to the TARDIS at full speed, and heads back to the 21st century.Meanwhile, Lucy Saxon is collected from prison by the mysterious woman who took the Master's ring, only to reveal that the Master set up an elaborate scheme to ensure his return from the dead. By combining the Master's ring, some Potions of Applied Phlebotinum, and a DNA sample from Lucy, the Master begins to come back quite naked. Lucy reveals that she's set up her own plan to prevent the Master from coming back and that she had her family connections make a potion to counter the effects of the Master's Applied Phlebotinum. She hurls it at him while his body is still forming. The prison explodes. The Doctor arrives too late to prevent anything. Cut to the two strangers from the Doctor's visions, a rich man and a younger woman: they're delighted to see the Master may have come back, and they begin setting up some Applied Phlebotinum of their own.Wilf, at the end of his rope thanks to his nightmares, organizes a busload of senior citizens into a search party for the Doctor.Elsewhere, a couple of homeless people get food from a stand, as it's explained that Barack Obama is about to announce a plan for ending the recession. A mystery man in a hoodie then comes up, declares himself a Big Eater, and pulls off his hood to reveal the Master's face, only with bleach-blond hair and a stubble. He joins the homeless guys, wolfs down his food, gets compared to Mr Saxon, and then starts ranting about getting even more food. He hates being remembered as Saxon and had hoped that his hair dye would fool people. His head starts flashing, revealing his skull, freaking out the homeless guys enough that they run away. They try to ask the food stand attendants for help, only to find them dead and Stripped to the Bone. With a shout of "DINNERTIME!", the Master leaps way into the air and onto them.Afterwards, he grabs a stick of pipe and knocks four times on a barrel. The Doctor watches from a distance. Four more knocks, and the Doctor begins running toward him. After deducing that the Master Came Back Wrong, he gets stopped by Wilf before he can catch up to the Master. Wilf's Senior Citizen Search Party comes out of the woodwork, revealing that they've set up an elaborate communications network to catch the Doctor. While the Doctor just wants to get away and chase the Master, the Senior Citizen Search Party makes him pose for a picture, while an elderly woman gropes his ass.After riding on their bus back to town, the Doctor and Wilf stop by a coffee shop, and Wilf proceeds to talk about old times. The Doctor points out the Contrived Coincidence of Wilf tracking him down so easily (a running thread from this season, you may remember) and mentions that the four knocks he heard means he's going to die. They discuss regeneration for a while, and the Doctor admits that when he regenerates, the man he was actually dies. They see Donna through the window, and Wilf starts begging the Doctor to restore her memories, while discussing her life. She's engaged. Again. The Doctor tries to relate his recent solo adventures to Wilf, but nearly breaks down crying when he thinks about what happened to Adelaide. Wilf continues begging the Doctor to restore Donna's memories, and they leave the coffee shop together.That night, Timothy Dalton's narration declares that the pieces are in place for the oncoming conflict and that the final day of mankind has come. The two rich strangers toast each other while the Master continues eating on the streets like a feral animal. The Doctor shows up, and the Master starts zapping him with lightning. The Doctor just keeps walking forward, until the Master finally hits him square in the chest. They have a bit of a chat about food and the drums in the Master's head. The Doctor thinks that the Master is simply mad, but the Master touches his forehead to his and gently opens a psychic link. The Master is actually hearing something real. But he quickly uses his newfound lightning powers to take off flying, screaming about how, "It's real!", and the Doctor is forced to give chase. Suddenly, the Master is kidnapped by armed men and whisked away on a helicopter.The next morning, at the Noble house, Donna gives some gifts to her mother and Wilf. For some reason even she doesn't know, her gift to Wilf is a book written by one of the two mysterious rich strangers. His name is revealed as Joshua Naismith. Speaking of the strangers, we see that Naismith is holding the Master prisoner, and he explains that his daughter has heard legends of Mr. Saxon and believes he can help with their project. The family turns on the TV for the Queen's speech, but only Wilf is watching as the mysterious church lady appears instead. She tells him that in order to save the Doctor's life, he must take up arms and not tell the Doctor. Wilf goes upstairs, grabs his old service revolver, and sees the Doctor waiting for him outside. He goes outside, shows Naismith's book to the Doctor; the Doctor speculates that Donna's Time Lord brain is still subconsciously active, and suggests the book is an important clue. When Donna starts to come outside, the Doctor and Wilf flee to the TARDIS and quickly take off. As the Doctor and Wilf banter about how the TARDIS should be cleaner, the Doctor prepares to teleport to Naismith's complex.Back in Naismith's complex, Naismith and his disturbingly incestuous daughter show their project to the Master. The Master figures out that it's alien technology, and a couple of scientists flee the room. Turns out those scientists are actually kooky aliens in disguise, preparing to hijack the project for their own ends. Naismith gives the Master a turkey as an incentive to help him, and he quickly gobbles it down. Naismith reveals that the project is a healing machine salvaged from the ruins of Torchwood that, once fully repaired with the Master's help, will be able to give anyone immortality. Thus, he names it the Immortality Gate. Rather than wanting to use it to become a god, he intends to use it to make his daughter immortal as the ultimate Christmas gift. As the Master begins repairing the Immortality Gate, the TARDIS arrives outside. Remembering what happened the last time he left the TARDIS unguarded around the Master, the Doctor cloaks it with the Sonic Screwdriver and heads off into the compound with Wilf. They run into the two alien schemers, and the Doctor sees right through them. Shimmer!The Master finishes fixing the Immortality Gate. Naismith orders him restrained and reveals himself to be Genre Savvy enough to check for traps before sending his daughter through it. Back to the Doctor and his alien friends, it turns out they're of the Vinvocci, a sister species to that of the little red guy from "Voyage of the Damned". They feel that the Gate is rightfully theirs; they're a salvage team, and they intend to steal it back as soon as it's working again. They reveal the Gate mends entire populations of planets based on a single medical template, not just one person at a time. The Doctor realizes the implications of this and runs off to find Naismith. As Obama begins to broadcast his economic plans, the Doctor arrives in the control room, telling Naismith not to let the Master near the Gate. The Master busts out of his restraints and leaps into the gate. The Doctor tries to get Naismith to shut down the Gate, but it's too late...The Master is inside Naismith's head. No, he's inside everyone's head. Every human on Earth. The Doctor gets Wilf to a locked-down isolation chamber, getting the Master out of his head, but he's only one person. Less than a minute later, the Gate finishes powering up, and every single human on Earth, save Wilf (in the isolation chamber) and Donna (who's not entirely human anymore) are turned into clones of the Master. He's the President. He's newsreader Trinity Wells. He's Naismith and Naismith's daughter. He's everyone. Earth is now populated by six billion Masters. The human race has become... "the Master Race." And upon seeing a transformation this bizarre, Donna starts to remember....As the camera cuts away from the six billion Masters laughing at each other and at the horrified Doctor, Timothy Dalton's narration kicks in again, revealing that this is far more than humanity's end. For Dalton isn't just the story's narrator, he's the Narrator, Lord President of the Time Lords. The Time Lords are back in large numbers, and they're preparing for war. What are they fighting for? "The end of time itself".End of Part 1.Part 2 begins with the Doctor and Wilf tied to chairs while the Master taunts them. At this point, the Doctor and the Master have a truly Ho Yay-laden conversation, wherein the Doctor once again tries to convince the Master to give up his evil ways and travel the universe with him. The Master almost looks tempted, but then Wilf speaks up and breaks the moment, earning himself a fantastic Death Glare from the Master, who then reverts to his usually hammy self. As the Master taunts the Doctor, Wilf receives a call on his mobile. The Master is understandably miffed at someone escaping his Master Race Plan; he grabs the phone, also discovering and throwing away Wilf's revolver. He then orders all of him in that area to consume Donna. Donna's mind counters with a latent superpower (a parting gift from the Doctor) that knocks out all of the nearby Masters and knocks herself unconscious. Cut back to the original Master, shocked at what just transpired. The Doctor taunts him saying he "wouldn't leave his best friend without a defense mechanism".The Master begins demanding answers from the Doctor, specifically regarding the location of his TARDIS. The Doctor happily points out the presence of the Idiot Ball in the Master's hands and notes that the guard standing behind him is "an inch too tall". The guard knocks him on the head and reveals itself to be one of the Vinvocci. Wilf is shocked and yells out "God bless the Cactuses!"
— Rassilon
The Doctor: That's Cacti.Then the Cactus-Man's friend comes out from nowhere to untie Wilf. They don't have the time to untie the Doctor however, and resort to wheeling him away. After nearly dropping him down a set of steps, the Doctor yells: "Worst. Rescue. Ever!" The Master gives chase with his many clones, but the Vinvocci teleport Wilf and the Doctor away to their ship, where the Doctor proceeds to take command and uses his sonic screwdriver to shut down every system in the ship so that the Master's radar doesn't detect them.It is around this point that we see the Time Lords. Specifically, the Lord President, who is walking proudly to a meeting with seven other Time Lords, though parts of the building are falling off around him. The Time War is happening all around them, continuously and forever. At the meeting, it is revealed that the Philosopher has predicted that today is the last day of the Time War and of the Time Lords themselves. Understandably, the Lord President is upset at this and vaporizes a Time Lady who says that maybe this is a good thing, that since the Time War is such a horrible thing it's better for everyone. After ranting a little, another Time Lord reveals that another Prophecy details the "final clash" between the Doctor and the Master, and that she keeps mentioning the word "Earth" in her predictions. The Lord President shows everyone a projection of Planet Earth, saying that their salvation is on Earth. The Lord President then demands that they find a way to move Gallifrey out of the Time Lock and save their race. We are then shown that the Lord President ordered the "sound of drums" implanted in the Master's head in an attempt to establish a link between him in the present day and the Time-Locked Time Lords.We are then taken back to the ship, where the Vinvocci reveal they are simply scavengers, not a salvage team. The Doctor begins fixing the heating of the ship, and Wilf is getting lost somewhere in the bowels of the ship. He sees the Church Lady again, who talks to him about being a soldier. He pulls out his revolver from his jacket (apparently he retrieved it while the Vinvocci were trying to unstrap the Doctor) and turns to the woman, but she has disappeared. He then goes to see the Doctor, who is still fixing the heating. Wilf goes on a short spiel about how he always wanted to see the Earth from space, and is happy that he is now an astronaut. Then Wilf begins to talk seriously with the Doctor, offering him his gun, ordering the Doctor to "not put [the Master] before the Human Race". The Doctor thinks for a moment, but declines. More than once.We go back to Earth where all the Masters are concentrating on the source of the drums. Then we are taken back to the Time Lords and the Lord President, after saying "Link Established", throws a small diamond at the projection of Earth to make the link into a bridge. Then the scene cuts back to the ship, where we are shown the diamond shooting across the Earth sky. The Master is then shown, now hearing the sound coming from the shooting diamond, ordering his clones to find and retrieve the diamond. It is revealed that it is a very special kind of diamond. The Master is ecstatic.We cut back to the Doctor on the ship as a message broadcast from the Master. He addresses the Doctor, and makes it clear that he knows what the source of the drums is, and he says the name of the diamond, a white point star. The Doctor is shown to be scared since a white point star can only be found on Gallifrey. Very, very scared. He grabs the pistol from Wilf, the one he had adamantly refused earlier, showing us that he is willing to break all his rules to stop the Time Lords from returning.Wilf is confused, the Doctor's fear doesn't go well with his description of the Time Lords so far as great people. Wilf asks him why he's so scared, and the Doctor reveals that "that is only what [he] wanted to remember". The Doctor quickly restarts the ship (saying he was repairing a bit more than the heating) and orders Wilf and Cactus-Man to man the mining lasers. Cactus-Woman is annoyed and tells the Doctor that he is not allowed to commandeer her vessel like this. His reply goes simply:
Vinvocci: That's racist!
The Doctor: There's an old Earth saying, captain. A phrase of great power and wisdom, and consolation to the soul in times of need.The Doctor takes the ship straight through the atmosphere and locks on to the Master's Evil Lair. The Master orders a Macross Missile Massacre which is shot down by Wilf and Cactus-Man (complete with Han Solo-like whoops) and some very fine piloting by the Doctor. Eventually they are almost upon the Master's lair, and Wilf asks the Doctor if they will all survive, saying he doesn't mind and won't stop him, he just wants to know. The Doctor doesn't reply.We see the Lord President giving the end of a speech that says "The Time Lords will survive." It is revealed everybody save for two voted in favour of breaking the Time Lock and going to Earth. The two dissenters have their hands over their faces or, as the Lord President says, "like the Weeping Angels of old."They (the Doctor, Wilf and the Vinvocci) are soon almost colliding with the Master's Lair, the Doctor pulls the ship up and takes Wilf's pistol, leaping from the ship and somehow surviving a massive drop through a glass roof on to an incredibly hard floor. He is not in time to foil the Master's master plan, and is witness to the Time Lords returning. The Lord President, complete with the six other Time Lords from the meeting enter through a white light. The Master grins maniacally and reveals that before, he could remake the entire Human Race in his own image, and now, he could remake the Time Lords. The Lord President is completely unaffected, then uses his gauntlet to reverse the Master's actions, returning the entire Human Race back to normal. Then, the Doctor makes a disturbing Reveal: The Master didn't just bring back the Time Lords. He brought back Gallifrey.Cut to a view far from Earth, we see Gallifrey fade in to existence almost on top of it. Then to Donna's mother and fianc�, who run out in the street searching for her, and everyone else is also in the streets, mostly screaming and running about. We then see the salvagers' ship, without Wilf, they flee, realizing that Earth is now about to be knocked out of orbit. Cactus-Man tries to mention the Doctor, but Cactus-Woman is having none of it. They disappear.While all the restored humans in the mansion are running out, Wilf runs in, hoping to help the Doctor. Instead he notices one of Naismith's minions, trapped in a control booth that was part of the Immortality Gate, and which is designed so that there must always be one person inside. Wilf goes in, and lets the terrified minion go free.Back in the mansion, the Master moves onto Plan B: Unable to take over the Time Lord's bodies the same way he did the humans, he simply plans to celebrate the Time Lords' return and have them owe him one. The Doctor tells him that the Master wasn't there during the final days of the War. He tells him that Gallifrey not only had a host of leftover Daleks, but the the Skaro Degradations, the Horde of Travesties, the Nightmare Child, and the Could-Have-Been King with his army of Meanwhiles and Never-Weres; all about to break free and descend upon the Earth. The Master is a-OK with that scenario until the Doctor reminds him that even the Time Lords can't survive all of them at once.The Lord President then explains his plan, if you could call it that. The Time Lords will destroy the Time Vortex itself, wiping out all life in the universe while they Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence. Just then, the Doctor stands up, pointing his pistol at the Lord President. A Mexican Standoff of sorts takes place. The Master eggs the Doctor on, saying that if the Lord President were dead, Gallifrey could be his for the taking.The Doctor swings the gun back toward the Master. The Master realizes that the psychic link holding Gallifrey outside of the Time War exists in his head and with himself gone, the planet and Time Lords would vanish. However, he knows that the Doctor would never really pull the trigger. Just so, the Doctor swings back to face the Lord President. For the first time, he notices one of the women with him; a Council member who voted against returning to the universe-at-large. She lowers her hands from in front of her face, revealing herself to be... the Church Lady! She motions with her teary eyes to something behind the Doctor and, moments later, the Doctor again faces the Master. This time, he tells him to get out of the way. The Master dodges, and the Doctor shoots the machine holding the White Point Star in place. With the signal from the diamond gone, the Time Lords and Gallifrey begin to vanish. The Doctor refers to the Lord President by his name — Rassilon — and Rassilon then threatens to kill the Doctor, to which he replies, "I know."The Master steps forward, telling the Doctor to get out of the way. He uses his lightning blasts to strike down the Lord President over and over again, walking forward and vanishing with the other Time Lords back into the Time War.The Doctor lies on the ground, half-sobbing, half-laughing, saying "I'm still alive!" in disbelief, stunned that he was able to succeed.But just then, someone knocks four times.The Doctor realizes, or had let himself forget, that Wilf was still trapped in the Nuclear Vault. The Doctor explains that the only way for Wilf to escape would be for the Doctor to take his place. Wilf urges him to leave him behind while the Doctor has a brief Heroic BSOD. The Doctor has a small moment of What Measure Is a Non-Time Lord and seriously considers leaving Wilf to die before he recovers, saying "I've lived too long". He frees Wilf from the chamber and takes his place inside while being microwaved with over a half million Rads.The Vault shuts down and the Doctor stands, seemingly fine. But when Wilf comments on the Doctor's cuts and scrapes, they heal before his eyes and the Doctor explains that the regeneration process has already begun.The Doctor takes Wilf home and tells him that he'll "see [him] again. One more time." When Wilf asks where he's going, the Doctor replies, "To get my reward." The Doctor proceeds to visit each of his previous companions in turn, saving Martha and Mickey from a Sontaran about to ambush them, rescuing Luke Smith from oncoming traffic, and introducing Jack Harkness to Alonso Frame. He also stops in on Joan Redfern's great-granddaughter. He returns to the present day for Donna's wedding and gives Wilf her present: A lottery ticket purchased with money the Doctor borrowed from Donna's father. After some final goodbyes, he leaves.Back on New Year's Day, 2005, the Doctor visits Rose on her way home. He wishes her a happy new year and says that he thinks she's going to have a "really great year". The Doctor heads toward his TARDIS but is overcome by pain, falling to his knees. Ood Sigma appears, telling him that "the Universe will sing you to your sleep". The Doctor stands and makes it into the TARDIS, setting it in motion.
Cactus Lady: What's that then?
The Doctor: Allons-y!
Ood Sigma: This song is ending, but the story never ends.The Doctor takes one last walk around the TARDIS, stopping just as the music reaches a pause before the crescendo before speaking his tenth incarnation's last words: "I don't want to go." Visibly distraught, his head and hands begin to glow, as they had a few times before, but this time they won't fade away, growing with intensity before violently erupting. The energy severely damages the TARDIS and sends it toward Earth in a tailspin. With a final scream of exhaustion the Doctor completes his regeneration and we are introduced to Matt Smith for the first time as the Eleventh Doctor.He goes through the typical self-examination common of all new Doctors, making sure he still has legs, hands, lots of fingers ("ooooh!"), his now longer hair ("I'm a girl?!"), that the fact he still has an Adam's apple means that he isn't a girl ("No. No, I'm not a girl!") and his hair colour ("Still not ginger!"). The burning, crashing TARDIS reminds him of imminent death (again) and he jumps on to the controls with manic glee, yelling "Geronimo!!" as the screen cuts to the credits.Cue ending credits and the end of the Russell T. Davies era of Doctor Who. Technically, it starts with the regeneration, as Steven Moffat was allowed to write the first scene of "his" Doctor.

Possible Limits on a Science of Social Behavior

About a quarter of a century ago Edmund Whittaker (1949) wrote a fascinating series of lectures on the history and implications of recent developments in theoretical physics. Almost parenthetically, he outlined therein a means of viewing scientific progress which is at once both unorthodox and profound. It is a means founded on what Whittaker terms "postulates of impotence," which he defines as assertions of "… the impossibility of achieving something, even though there may be an infinite number of ways of trying to achieve it." He continues:
A postulate of impotence is not the direct result of an experiment or of any finite number of experiments; it does not mention any measurement, or any numerical relation or analytical equation; it is the assertion of a conviction that all attempts to do a certain thing, however made, are bound to fail. (p. 59)

It's not always easy to throw an all-night party. There're curfew laws if you're in a club, and your neighbors will call the cops on your ass in a minute if you even try to throw a raging house party. That doesn't leave a lot of options for those who like to hear live music until sunrise, but the folks at Brotherly Love Productions have found a way to temporarily create an exception to the rule. They've rented out the family-owned Precision Wave Studios, and this Saturday, for $20, you can come and dance the night/morning away plus drink all the beer your liver can handle. They're bringing in South Florida's most popular jam band, the Heavy Pets, who have made a major impact on the performance circuit locally since they relocated here from New York several years ago. Joining them on the bill are Brother Bean, coming straight out of Melbourne, with plenty of roots-rock and jam-tinged grooves. Each band will play a two-hour set, and then they'll combine for a third superset, which will last as long as they want it to. There's no curfew or rules to follow — except dance all night long, and don't even think about trying to touch the keg if you're under 21.

The organisation said the Liverpool County FA has secured pounds 6m of funding in the past year - more than any other.
A spokesman said Merseyside has benefited from pounds 40m worth of new football projects since 2000.
And it argued being affiliated better protected children and helped root out people banned working with youngsters.
A summit meeting takes place tonight between the rebels - Steve O'Reilly, head of the Anfield junior league, and Mick McNally, head of the Bootle, Litherland and Netherton leagues - and FA representatives.
The ECHO first highlighted the break away proposals after the pair claimed money paid by hundreds of junior clubs was not being invested locally.

They cited its charter standard and FA coaching, the Respect programme with over 50% of Liverpool leagues signed up as 'Respect Leagues' and the chance to use 100 brand new affiliated referees for Merseyside to add to the existing pool of 400 An FA spokesman said: "Clubs and leagues playing in non-affiliated football will not have access to qualified and registered referees.
"They will not benefit from the FA's safeguarding children service and will also not be insured. Local authorities are reluctant to hire out facilities and pitches to teams without public liability insurance.
"Clubs affiliated to the Liverpool County FA can look forward to some excellent initiatives this year which include Charter Standard and coaching opportunities.
"It's the FA's aim to have 75% of all mini-soccer and youth clubs in the country achieving charter standard status by 2012."

Troll King David Thorne Returns with a Justin Bieber-themed Prank
David Thorne, the vicious prankster behind 27b/6, is famous for trolling his officemates, often using his skills as a graphic designer. He's just returned after a long dry spell, this time Photoshopping Justin Bieber's face onto every image in a coworker's stock photo folder. That includes Bieber-faced french fries, beans, and furniture, and even a giant Bieb-fireball.
The prank resulted in a "formal complaint" from the humiliated victim, who must have been embarrassed to even put the events into writing. It's never clear if Thorne's pranks are real or just very imaginative, but you have to believe he'd be fired by now, after years of masterful trolling. Congrats to David on another job well done.
