Perry Backs 'Fetal Pain' Bill
As expected, Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday announced his support for a bill that would outlaw all abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Appearing at the crisis pregnancy center-turned women's med clinic, The Source for Women in Houston, Perry lauded the work of crisis pregnancy centers and said that the state has made "major steps" in ensuring that women seeking abortion make "the most informed, responsible" decisions possible, but that when there are "80,000 lives lost to abortion each year in our state, we know our work is far from over," he said.
As such, Perry said he is "calling on the legislature to strengthen our ban on the procedure, prohibiting abortion at the point a baby can feel the pain of being killed." That is, for right-to-lifers, at 20 weeks gestation.
Of course, the notion that a fetus can actually feel pain that early is suspect. According to a 2005 review of the evidence on fetal pain published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, while a fetus may exhibit base reflexes it isn't until well into the third-trimester that nerves are developed enough to actually register what we consider pain.
Nonetheless, laws similar to that which Perry says he'll support have been passed in a handful of states, and have brought with them plenty of legal controversy. Arizona's law criminalizes most abortions after 20 weeks except in narrow "immediate" emergency situations – forcing doctors caring for women in high-risk pregnancies to wait until a situation has become dire before offering abortion care. Indeed, there is also no exception to allow for the abortion of a fetus that is unlikely to survive birth. The ACLU of Arizona has challenged the law on behalf of a doctor who argues that the measure hamstrings his ability to care for his patients. A state court upheld the law this summer, and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is now considering whether that ruling will stand.
Among those who say such a ban threatens women is the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which filed a brief in support of the ACLU's Arizona suit. A ban on abortions "after 20 weeks of pregnancy will not further or protect maternal health. Rather, it will do just the opposite," reads the ACOG brief. "The ban will jeopardize women's health by severely curtailing physicians' ability to treat patients who face serious health conditions later in pregnancy and will force women to carry pregnancies to term when their fetuses suffer from serious impairments."
None of this seems to have impressed Perry who appeared in Houston along with state Senator-elect Donna Campbell, R-San Antonio, who defeated long-time moderate, and pro-choice, GOP Sen. Jeff Wentworth, to deliver a hard right turn for the gerrymandered district that includes portions of Travis County. Indeed, Campbell clapped loudly as Perry proclaimed that his goal, "and the goal of many of those joining me here today, is to make abortion, at any stage, a thing of the past." While Roe v. Wade wouldn't yet allow that, he noted that the law does allow states to curtail abortion where it can demonstrate a compelling state interest to do so. "I don't think there is any issue that better fits the definition of 'compelling state interest' than preventing the suffering of our state's unborn," he said. "We cannot, and we will not, stand idly by while the unborn are going through the agony of having their lives ended."
Whether preventing alleged fetal pain would qualify as a compelling state interest is unclear. Not only is the science of the claim that a 20-week-old fetus feels pain in doubt, but abortions after 20 weeks are already extremely rare. Out of 77,592 abortions performed in Texas in 2010, the most recent year with complete statistics, just 420 procedures occurred after 20 weeks. And when those abortions are performed, it is almost always the result of a serious medical situation, according to NARAL Pro-Choice Texas. "It is especially outrageous to take options away from women who could be in tragic situations," Heather Busby, the group's executive director said in a press release. "We trust women, their families, and their doctors to make the most appropriate medical decisions for their unique circumstances."
Perry also told supporters that he will support a measure that would require abortion clinics to be held to the same standards as surgical facilities and one that would require abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital. Both measures are recent favorites of pro-life groups across the country. "Again, the ideal world is a world without abortion," Perry said. "Until then, we're going to continue to pass laws to ensure abortions are as rare as possible under existing law."

It (the possible launch) will be targeted at youngsters (under 14) with small nimble fingers (and good eyesight) and parents who haven't yet decided what to get them for Christmas.

Aitchbee is right that that size of tablet will sell to those with nimble fingers and good eyesight.
Personally a 10 inch tablet is about the right size for me, anything smaller and I find text and icons difficult to see. But I would like my tablet to be lighter and thinner and wouldn't it be great if you could just roll it up like a newspaper and stick it in your pocket until you next need to use it?

It is about time one of the manufacturers developed a tablet that docks with a phone and shares the hardware and syncs the software. It would mean lower cost and much greater flexibility.

Surely an iPod touch is already a small iPad? If a new item appears it will sit between the iPad and iPod touch?

I'm not connected to your branch ...as far as I know. My line was based in Wiltshire for 400 years so having taken that line back to 1579 I started collecting all UK Fray BMD's, wills, census, parish reg etc that I could find to try to build up trees for the other branches. I did wonder if there might be descendants from other of my early Frays that had moved to other parts of the country. If you have been in contact with Theresa then you have most of my data already as I wrote to her some time ago. I have looked at the wills since but they don't add much to the tree. If you would like a photocopy of what I sent to her I'll need your address. I did a copy at the time for Chris but he never got back in touch.

Recon turns almost as well as the t3 (Akria style) Escort, while Deep Space feels more like a t2 or 3 crusier. (not a brick like t4/5 crusiers, but certianly not an escort by any means)
I can confirm that. Tested the Deep Space and Reconaissance today especially in Combat Situations to find out if the Reconaissance really is that useless and you don´t have to be an expert to feel immediately, that even if the stats might indicate a better turnrate when flying the Deep Space Ship, thats wrong. The Reconaissance is definetively more manouvrable.

By Jay Braman Jr. It wasn't as well attended as Belleayre's premier social event, known as the Snowball, but Saturday's dinner honoring inductees to the ski center's Hall of Fame was a good time had by all. With cold temperatures outside, and hot Dixieland jazz inside, inductees Carl Lumbaca, Judy Shiner and Bill Hornbeck basked in the warmth of the region's social set on the last weekend of the ski season.

Hey everbody. I'm trying to decide between pebble tec and pebble sheen. I'm trying to pick my favorite pebble sheen currently. Any Pics of Prism Blue, Blue Granite, or Aqua Blue? Also looking for opinions on tec v.s. sheen.
Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here's an old picture of my Prism Blue. We went with the sheen because it's smoother than the tec. I think all the colors you're looking for are beautiful. I also love, love, love the Ocean Blue. Might have gone with that if we'd seen any pools in person that had it. But we do love this color. Carol |
Blue Granite Pebble Sheen. We are very happy with the sheen - the tec was just too rough for our liking. |
We have Ocean Blue Pebblesheen and absolutely love it - not just the color but the finish. We saw a Pebble Tec pool in person. While Tec was smooth, I wasn't sure I would be happy with the bumps, so I put in the order for Sheen. Of the 3 colors you mentioned, be aware that only Prism Blue comes with the seashells already in the mix (makes for extra sparkle). Good luck |

Thanks everybody for your pics! Both of the finishes are beautiful! This is gonna be a tough choice! Now does any one have an Aqua blue pebblesheen pool? Also,for the pebbletec, does anyone have Jade,carribbean blue, or Sandybeach? All opinions on anything-sheen or tec- are always welcome! Thank you again for your help! :-) |

Wow! cjmdwyer, that's a beautiful color! Very cute dog too, by the way! i'm not sure if the aqua is too bright for me though. Your pool also looks great with the lights at night.*sigh* descisions, descisions..... Do you have any other color recommendations? |
Where are you in FL, florida gal? If you're in the Tampa Bay area, there are some pools that you can look at. |

Hey Florida Gal, I'm a Florida gal too, in the SW on the Gulf Coast. We too are trying to choose a pebble finish color for our renovation. Its by Florida Pearl Exposed Aggregate, anyone have that brand? I think I have ruled out the black finish (Kahena), I have looked at lots of dark finish pools pics and the dark blues are nice, but I don't care for the black I have seen., (unless they are lagoon type pools (which ours is not). My other color choices are: Bay Pearl (aqua with earthy color pebbles) Florida Pearl (white with earthy color pebbles) Shoreline (beige with earthy pebbles) Evening Pearl (grey with earthy pebbles) and Silver Pearl (white with greys and white pebbles) I'm just having trouble visualizing it all together... the tile, finish and deck. But I am sure it will be so much better than what it was! The deck will be textured concrete with color applied. We also did a change order and added demo of the lanai tile so it and the deck will all be same. They finished with the chippers today, yea, the noise drove me nuts! |

Laurel, I am Florida gal, and my 12 yr old daughter is Jackie - she is now as obsessed as DH and I about these choices!! Sometimes she doesn't log in on her name and uses mine...Anyway, We are in Palm Bch County on the east coast. Our pool was dug last Friday, steel formed Sat and Sun, waiting for our first inspection. It is really hard to picture all of the colors together. OUr PB was pushing Hawaiian Blue from Florida Gem, but when we saw a live pool, it looked like a blue roof tarp!!! We may upgrade to P Tec, waiting for the upcharge quote... Abby |

I know what you mean about the blue roof tarp color! We have 2 on our roof, the roofers are to start anyday now, but can't be soon enough for me! I just hope this storm season is kind to us all. ( We are in Lee County, between Ft Myers and Naples, the city of Bonita Springs) I'll post pictures after I read how to do it, or maybe wait to do before and after? The work in progress isn't so exciting unless its yours! LOL Laurel |

Here is Blue Granite with hand seeded shells. I remember making the hard decision. Ask the company if you can see some pools in person. BTW My pool looked green for the first couple weeks and then settled down to this color. We love it, but would have loved prism, aqua or ocean too- all good colors, some more pricey than others |
Here's another of Blue Granite...When I was trying to decide, I really wanted a color with more blue and no green, and I am very happy with our choice. (BTW, I was a little panicked as it was filling, because if was VERY green, but after a few days, the water turned this awesome blue)... Good luck! DeDe |
dede711: By posting your pictures you helped us make up our minds. We have decided to go with Blue Granite. I will be holding my breath for a few weeks after the pool is filled. We are looking for a blue vs. the green. Thanks for posting the pictures. |
Cubixs, Good luck with your pool fill and remember that when it first fills, it will be green! Do not panic! :) Please post pictures!! DeDe |
We had our Blue Granite PS put in last week, filled Fri/Sat and start-up on Monday of this week. The green was gone this morning!! |
dmegna2: Do you have any pictures that you can post or email to email@example.com? If not no worries. DeDe: Yes, my wife says to me this evening that she would have been very upseet if I did'nt tell her what to expect. Thank you both very much. |

Would LOVE to know if you found pics of the sky blue - the company even makes a DOUBLE sky blue that only contractors know about - hardly any black specs, still a white background so it doesn't look fake and its really really blue. I have'nt seen pics, but may take their word for it. Let me nkow, shellseeker, if you have made a decision or have pics that you can send me! --Becky |

That candidate is one of Tolono's former village presidents.
As for the person who filed that objection, she works for the Champaign County Clerk's office.
We spoke with that resident earlier today, Rena Anderson.
Anderson said, she found several mistakes, including people who signed the petition that aren't registered voters.
Champaign County Clerk, Gordy Hulten, said he confirms that Anderson didn't do this on company time.
Greg Cler's nominating petition is the one being objected.
Cler served as Tolono's Village President from 2005-2009.
Cler said, he believes he is being singled out because if Anderson found that people signed two different candidate's petitions, then his shouldn't be the only
one with an objection.

Scariest Thing Found at ComicCon (and it's not even Halloween)
by Dan Chmielewski •
This was the most frightening thing I saw at Comic Con Thursday. The thought of "President Bob Dornan" dealing with the economy, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, AIDS, Gay Marriage, Immigration, a Supreme Court nomination, and HealthCare would be enough to scare the crap out of anyone. daybreakers hawke

DOLLY's Guide to Surviving Party Season
12:00AM, Dec 31 2012
Whether you're hosting a party or just tagging along to one, we've got the boys, decorations and party frock covered.
Crush approaching
Even if you've mentally mapped out a plan to approach your crush, sometimes it can be super tricky. Here's our guide to starting up the party convo with no awkward pauses.
Point of approach: The dance floor
Make the move: Shimmy on over and dance with him for a good 10-20 seconds and then spin around and keep dancing with your girls. You've given him a little taste but not too much!
Convo starter: "Let's request a good song!"
Point of approach: Chilling outside
Make the move: Get your girlfriends to form a little talking circle close to his bunch of mates. Butter up a pal to chat to one of his friends first and then wait for the integration to begin.
Convo starter: "What are you doing out here, Mr Checked Shirt?"
Point of approach: The food table
Make the move: As he moves in for a slice of pizza, reach across him for the Cheezels so you have to kind of dodge one another. Follow up with a sweet "sorry!"
Convo starter: "Have you tried the party pies yet?"
Point of approach: The DJ booth
Make the move: Walk straight up to your crush, give him a little pat on the shoulder to get his attention, remove one earphone and request a Pitbull song.
Convo starter: "What's your fave d-floor track?"
Point of approach: The bathroom line
Make the move: It's probably the best space to catch a guy because he's away from his mates.
Convo starter: "Fancy seeing you here! Are you having a good night?"
Be the hostess with the mostest
Director of Sweaty Betty PR and events extraordinaire Roxy Jacenko offers her top three tips for hosting your own winning shindig.
1. Be ready. Prepare as much as you can prior to your party so you aren't rushing and you can enjoy yourself.
2. Never leave your guests alone. Entrust them to your boyfriend or a good pal, or let them join you in the kitchen or wherever it is you need to go.
3. Aside from inviting guests in and getting them talking, you'll need some entertainment. A good playlist to set the right mood is always a winner.
Party frock 101
There are rules to be kept and some to be broken. DOLLY fashion editor Lotta talks us through her top four fash rules.
1. Either show your legs or decolletage. Doing both is way too OTT.
2. Rethink your everyday clothing. Try wearing your fave denim shorts with a sequinned top and heels.
3. A great pair of shoes will really lift an otherwise average outfit and is totally worth spending a bit of extra $$$ on.
4. This season, think colour when it comes to bling. Neon is sizzling hot for summer and will pop with your faux tan!
Decorate like a boss!
Interior designer Jessica Beslich gets us clued up on some unique ways to wow a crowd.
1. Polaroid Attack: Attaching Polaroids to the ends of colourful helium balloons will fill the room with colour. The snapshots will be a good talking point while people walk around the party.
2. DIY Photo Booth: Decorate a backyard space by hanging a wooden frame from a tree that guests can use as a prop for snapping pics. This provides a fun activity and is cheaper than hiring a photo booth.
3. Pack a Punch: Empty a watermelon and fill it with a yummy mocktail. It will pretty up any table.
The 7 songs to keep the DF pumping
David Guetta "She Wolf (Falling To Pieces)"
Justice Crew "Boom Boom"
Owl City "Good Time"
Florence + the Machine "Spectrum"
Havana Brown "You'll Be Mine"
The Wanted "Chasing The Sun"
Far East Movement "Turn Up The Love"
One Direction "Live While We're Young"
Havana on the decks
If your party suddenly hits a lull spot, DJ Havana Brown says Calvin Harris is sure to pick up the dance floor mood. "He goes off!" says Havana. "I also think '212' by Azealia Banks is bubbling. Everybody knows it and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. The clubs go off when you play that!"
Yummy bites
Serve up some tasty finger foods.
Cabanossi and pineapple pizzas
Prep + cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4
2 x 30cm round pizza bases
1 cup bottled tomato pasta sauce (passata)
1 + 1/2 cups coarsely grated mozzarella cheese
440g canned pineapple rings in natural juice, drained
155g cabanossi, sliced thinly
1. Preheat oven to 220C. Oil two oven or pizza trays and place in heated oven.
2. Place pizza bases on trays. Spread with sauce then top with cheese, pineapple and cabanossi.
3. Bake pizzas for about 15 minutes or until bases are browned and crisp.
Party fails sorted
Your plan of attack when...
Gatecrashers arrive
Firstly, ensure your Facebook invite is set to private. Secondly, it's always best to register a house party with the police prior to the date. This way they're on standby if you need them. If uninvited people turn up, stop the music and inform your parents or an adult ASAP. If they're unable to talk the crashers into leaving, call the police.
A friend is drunk
Seek the help of an adult straight away. Even if you think she'll be mad, it's always best to call your mate's parents or an older sibling so they can come and pick her up. If you're really concerned about your friend's state, call an ambulance.
A random dude tries to pash you
Grab both his arms and push him away. Smile politely and say, "Maybe another time, buddy!" If he continues to try and kiss you, give him a firm "no" before walking away and letting a parent or older sibling know.
Someone spills soft drink down the back of your dress
Grab a friend and head straight for the bathroom. Wet a towel or a piece of toilet paper and spot soak the soft drink stains. They might not fully disappear but at least it will be less obvious. Ten points if you can pin down a hairdryer.
You receive a noise complaint
To avoid angry neighbours, type up a little letter to pop in their letterboxes prior to your party. Include the purpose of the shindig, how many people you are expecting and a supervising adult's number to call if they have any issues on the night.

Florida Legal Newspaper Statement on The Fed's duties: Nobody is allowed to talk about it publicly.
Submitted by bobbyw24 on Mon, 05/03/2010 - 11:4204/30/2010
by Karen Brune Mathis
Managing Editor
There's no telling how many millions of dollars pass through the Jacksonville branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta on any given day.
Really, there's no telling. Nobody is allowed to talk about it publicly.
"A lot" was all that Christopher Oakley, vice president and regional executive of the Jacksonville branch, would say.
Considering that one "cash bus" of $20s in the highly secured cash room totaled $11.2 million, and that there were several buses in view and who knows how much in the vault, the math adds up.
Then there's the $2 million cash bus of $5 bills in a lobby display, bathed in sensors in case anyone desires an up-close view.
Money and security abound at the 800 Water St. structure Downtown, near the Osborn Center. In basic terms, the branch is considered the bank for regional banks, taking in their deposits and providing them cash withdrawals as needed.
The branch is gearing up, as are all of the branches in the Fed system, for the new $100 notes to be released Feb. 10. The makeover of the bill means a retooling of the equipment that the branches use to sort, count and stack the currency passing through.
"When we get a new design, it requires retrofits on our machines," said Oakley.
The Federal Reserve System is the nation's central bank and is based in Washington, D.C. It was created in 1913 when President Woodrow Wilson signed the legislation and earned his place as the face on the $100,000 note.
Those don't pass through, though. The highest denomination bill in circulation is $100, graced by Benjamin Franklin.
The Federal Reserve Banks consist of 12 regional banks. The regional Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank has five branches in Jacksonville, Miami, Birmingham, Nashville and New Orleans.
About 765 banks and branches in most of Florida, other than South Florida, send their currency to the Jacksonville branch for processing, including destruction and replacement of worn-out bills and detection of counterfeit notes. During a tour early Wednesday, three counterfeit bills had already been found.
Oakley and Community Relations Coordinator Barbara Klinger said 20 to 30 counterfeit bills a day are detected and turned over to the U.S. Secret Service. The banks that send them are debited. Oakley said the Fed's cash employees know the counterfeit money more by feel than by sight. The counterfeit bills don't have the consistency as real notes, which are 75 percent cotton and 25 percent linen.
The branch also shreds 15 to 20 percent of the cash it processes daily because it's worn out. The banks are credited for the deposit and the U.S. Treasury is notified.
The $1 and $5 bills, which wear out the quickest, generally circulate for 18 to 24 months.

The Hoffman electrolysis apparatus is filled with Na2SO4 solution containing universal indicator and is started.
The solution turns blue at the cathode (basic) and red at the anode (acidic). Twice as much gas is evolved at the cathode as at the anode. When the solutions in the two electrodes compartments are mixed, the indicator turns green (neutral).
Two reactions can take place at the cathode.
2 H2O (l) + 2 e - → H2 (g) + 2 OH- (aq) | E° = -0.8277 V |
Na + (aq) + e - → Na (s) | E° = -2.7109 V |
Two reactions can also occur at the anode.
2 SO4 2- (aq) → S2O8 (aq) + 2 e - | E° = -2.05 V |
2 H2O (l) → O2(g) + 4 H+ (aq) + 4 e - | E° = -1.229 V |
It is easier to reduce H2O that Na+ ions at the cathode and it is easier to oxidize H2O than SO4 2- at the anode. Combining the two half reactions so that electrons are conserved, we obtain the following equations.
6 H2O (l) → 2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) + 4 H + (aq) + 4 OH- (aq)
2 H2O (l) → 2 H2 (g) + O2(g)
The decomposition of water produces twice as much hydrogen gas as oxygen gas. Since the number of protons and hydroxide ions formed in the reaction are the same, when the solutions are combined at the end of the electrolysis the indicator has the characteristic green color of a neutral solution.

If there were any doubt that the tech world remains transfixed by the question of whether courts should order injunctions based on standard-essential patents, check out the Federal Trade Commission's newly released response to commenters on the Google antitrust settlement it proposed in January. Many of the 25 letters that the FTC received focused on settlement provisions barring Google from seeking an injunction based on infringement of an essential patent until a fair licensing rate is determined by a court or arbitrator. The FTC said that its final settlement with Google, which was disclosed Wednesday, holds Google accountable for its commitment to license essential technology on fair and reasonable terms. Potential licensees, the agency said, must be protected from "opportunistic behavior" and permitted "to negotiate licensing terms without facing the threat of an injunction."

Judge grants investors rare early discovery in securities case vs SAC
It's safe to say that the besieged hedge fund SAC Capital has lots more to worry about than a class action by investors in Elan Corporation, one of the companies whose shares the fund supposedly traded on the basis of inside information. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that federal prosecutors in New York are on the verge of indicting SAC, the culmination of an insider trading investigation in which four onetime fund employees have pleaded guilty and two more, including the star portfolio manager Michael Steinberg, are facing criminal charges. SAC founder Steven Cohen is busy defending against Securities and Exchange Commission allegations that could knock him out of the industry, and SAC outside investors have pulled $5 billion out of the fund.
Early ripples from 2nd Circuit decision on tolling statute of repose
Three weeks ago, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a case called In re IndyMac Mortgage-Backed Securities Litigation that the filing of a class action does not stop the clock on the three-year time bar for federal securities claims. According to the appeals court, the U.S. Supreme Court's famous 1974 ruling in American Pipe v. Utah, which said that the statute of limitations can be tolled by the filing of a class action, does not apply to the statute of repose because that absolute time bar gives defendants substantive rights that cannot be abridged. The 2nd Circuit's decision, as I've reported, was at odds with a 13-year-old ruling from the 10th Circuit, which found in Joseph v. Q.T. Wiles that a pending class action tolls the statute of repose as well as the statute of limitations.
Detroit's eligibility problem: Can state officials OK its bankruptcy?
The biggest municipal bankruptcy proceeding in U.S. history is less than a week old but it's already promising to generate enough legal controversy to gainfully employ the platoons of lawyers vying for a role in the Chapter 9 case. A state court judge in Lansing, Michigan, has teed up a fight over Michigan Governor Richard Snyder's right to authorize Detroit's petition for Chapter 9 protection. That's a novel procedural question, as I'll explain below. I don't think doubts about Snyder's authorization will stop U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes from pushing Detroit's Chapter 9 proceeding forward – but they may well impact Rhodes's eventual determination of the city's eligibility for Chapter 9 protection.
Appeals court restricts Dodd-Frank protection for whistle-blowers
If Khaled Asadi, a former GE Energy executive who lost his job after alerting his boss to concerns that GE might have run afoul of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, had sued his old employer in New York or Connecticut, things might have worked out differently for him. Several federal trial judges in those jurisdictions have ruled that whistle-blowers who report corporate wrongdoing internally are protected by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, even though the statute defines whistle-blowers as employees who report securities violations to the Securities and Exchange Commission. But Asadi, who worked in GE Energy's office in Amman, Jordan, filed a claim that the company had illegally retaliated against him in federal district court in Houston. And on Wednesday, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals – with hardly a nod to contrary lower-court decisions in other circuits – ruled that Asadi is not a whistle-blower under Dodd-Frank because he talked to his boss and not the SEC.
UBS 'likely' to settle with FHFA before January trial: bank co-defendants
Remember UBS's attempt to play what it considered a get-out-of-jail-free card in the megabillions litigation over mortgage-backed securities UBS and more than a dozen other banks sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? UBS's lawyers at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom came up with an argument that could have decimated claims against all of the banks: When Congress passed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 and established the Federal Housing Finance Agency as a conservator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, UBS said, lawmakers explicitly extended the one-year statute of limitations on federal securities claims – but neglected to extend, or even mention, the three-year statute of repose. UBS argued that FHFA's suits, which in the aggregate asserted claims on more than $300 billion in MBS, were untimely because they were filed after the statute of repose expired.
The next great benchmark manipulation case?
Last spring, when U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald of Manhattan decimated the consolidated private litigation over banks' manipulation of the London Interbank Offered Rate, the only claims that remained upright in the rubble of her ruling were those brought under the Commodity Exchange Act, which makes tampering with the price of exchange-traded commodities or futures illegal. Buchwald's opinion cited a plethora of Manhattan federal court decisions that permitted victims of futures price manipulation to move forward with their suits, including three consolidated class actions involving rigged prices for oil futures. I suspect we're going to be hearing a lot more about those cases over the next several months. Even as the class action bar tries to persuade the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals to reinstate the Libor antitrust claims that Buchwald dismissed, plaintiffs lawyers are gearing up for the next big litigation: claims that BP, Royal Dutch Shell, Statoil and other unidentified conspirators violated commodity and antitrust laws by reporting false prices for North Sea Brent crude oil to the price-setting agency Platts.
GM judge aims to prevent insider trading by distressed debt funds
Remember the shocking ruling a couple of years ago by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Mary Walrath in the bankruptcy of Washington Mutual Inc? In September 2011, Walrath refused to approve a hard-fought $7 billion reorganization plan for WMI because of concerns that four distressed debt hedge funds might have traded WaMu notes based on confidential information they or their lawyers obtained in negotiations to resolve the bankruptcy. The hedge funds were outraged by Walrath's decision, which they said was wrong on both the facts and the law. Ultimately, however, they agreed to make the whole mess go away by kicking about $30 million of their expected recovery to WMI shareholders, who had first raised the insider trading accusations.
'Company Doe' cites gay marriage ruling to block consumer group appeal
Well, that didn't take long.
Two weeks ago, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Hollingsworth v. Perry that an advocacy group opposing same-sex marriage could not stand in the shoes of California officials to appeal a trial court ruling that the state's ban was unconstitutional. Yesterday, the firm that argued in the Supreme Court for same-sex couples, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, filed a letter brief at the 4th Circuit, arguing that under Perry, three public interest groups do not have standing to appeal a trial court ruling against the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
BP, buyer's remorse and the future of mass tort settlements
The oil giant BP has recently done a very good job of casting itself as the victim of greedy plaintiffs lawyers looking to get rich by submitting unwarranted claims for businesses that weren't actually harmed by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Did you see the company's full-page advertisements to that effect in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times? Or maybe you read smart pieces by Paul Barrett of BloombergBusinessweek ("How BP Got Screwed on Gulf Oil Spill Claims") or Joe Nocera of the Times ("Justice, Louisiana Style"), who both pointed out that the court-appointed lawyer serving as the administrator of BP's multibillion-dollar class action settlement is himself a onetime plaintiffs lawyer – as is the New Orleans federal judge overseeing the deal. (Lawyers representing BP claimants, I should note, dispute just about everything BP says about the judge and the administrator.)

This place is closed!!! A new place is opening up in it's place. Hope this one does better.............
I ate at Sasaki Steakhouse once 5 years ago when I first moved to the area and hadn't been back until last night. I was reminded why I do not ever go there, even though I love Japanese food. My wife ordered the shrimp and steak which was $20. She would not eat it because the shrimp were not fresh.... More
Atmosphere is a little down but the food and prices make up for it! Excellent food! Great service! Ken is a great grill master and is extremely entertaining. Very family friendly. Ask for a shot of Chambord in your Saki.
Stop by and get a japanese Egg Roll, you can't go wrong!
Plentiful food, and the "show" at the grill is always fun.

Going with the Grain: Athenian State Formation and the Question of Subsistence in the 5th and 4th Centuries BCE
Ulrike Krotscheck, Stanford University
In this paper, I address the role of Athenian grain trade policy as a driving factor of the city's growing power in the 5th and 4th centuries. Recent explanations of increasing Athenian hegemony and dominance over other
during this time period have focused on the role of warfare. I present an equally important, yet often-overlooked factor: food supply. Athens was dependent on grain imports throughout the Classical Period. Through examination of the ancient sources, I demonstrate that the increasing need to secure subsistence goods for Athens significantly propelled its ambition for power, causing a fundamental shift from a non- interventionist government policy to one of heavy intervention between the 5th and the 4th centuries BCE. This shift corresponded to an increasing complexity within the mechanisms of the city's politics. It helped propel Athenian state formation and affected the dynamic of power and politics in the ancient Mediterranean world.

"Like many chefs who have become world famous in recent years — Wolfgang Puck, Mario Batali, Alain Ducasse, Alice Waters, and Gordon Ramsay, to name a few — Adrià doesn't merely prepare food. He's an author, endorser, consultant for major corporations, and, though less than most, a TV talking head. More than any of his peers, though, Adrià has invested the proceeds of his celebrity in the creation of new ideas about food. The Harvard collaboration is not a new direction — it's the continuation of a career spent in rigorous pursuit of innovation. A good deal of the work goes on not in the kitchen at El Bulli but in a Barcelona workshop, where the art and science of Ferran Adrià undergo constant reinvention.
In the late 1980s, when entire evenings would pass without a single diner walking into El Bulli, a friend of Adrià's asked him why he stayed in such a remote spot. 'Because I have an idea,' the chef replied. 'And it's a good idea.'"

Oracle's Chris Mason Talks Up Btrfs Features
Published on 05 April 2012 06:23 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
Linux Kernel
2 Comments
Chris Mason, the Oracle engineer who's the lead developer of the
, just finished a session at the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit about his promising and feature-rich file-system.
session's abstract
was relatively mundane, "The Btrfs filesystem is quickly becoming a mature part of the Linux kernel. This talk will discuss the Btrfs roadmap and demonstrate some of the newest Btrfs features." And it was. It really wasn't too different from
what was said at this year's Southern California Linux Expo
Chris basically recapped the usual features talked about for Btrfs, iterated that
the error-fixing Btrfs tool is still actively being worked on
, and re-capped
the big Btrfs file-system changes in the Linux 3.4 kernel
For those that haven't heard one of Mason's Btrfs presentations in a while or are not familiar with the EXT4 successor, the key features he expresses are:
- The file-system is jointly developed by many companies, not just Oracle. The other contributors range from Intel to SUSE.
- All data and meta-data written is via copy-on-write.
- CRCs are maintained for all meta-data and data.
- Btrfs provides for efficient writable snapshots, which allows for
interesting features like system roll-backs
and other great stuff.
- Multi-device support and built-in support for various RAID levels.
- Online resize and defragmentation support.
- Transparent compression via
LZO file-system compression
- Efficient storage for small files.
Solid-state drive optimizations
(SSD) along with TRIM support.
The recent progress that Chris noted at this afternoon's San Francisco event included:
- Extensive performance and stability fixes.
- New and improving repair tool.
- Background scrubbing support.
- Automatic repair of corrupt blocks.
- RAID re-striping.
- Configurable meta-data block sizes.
- Improved I/O error handling infrastructure.
For those wondering about the Btrfs file-system performance compared to EXT4, XFS, and others, see
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Benchmarking All The Linux File-Systems
. From consumer hardware there's also
Testing Out The Btrfs Mount Options On Linux 3.2
. New benchmarks of hard drives and solid-state drives from the
Linux 3.4 kernel
will be forthcoming.

Kelper spots 54 exoplanets in habitable zones
NASA scientists claim that the American space agency's orbiting telescope, Kepler, has spotted around 1,235 new candidate planets, a few of which could feature inhabitable conditions.
The huge number of new exoplanet (planets outside our solar system) has been discovered by Kelper in just four months of its operation. Out Of the 1,235 new candidate planets, 54 have been orbiting their respective stars in habitable zones (Goldilocks), where the temperature is neither too high nor too low.
Sixty-eight of the new exoplanets are similar to Earth in size, 288 are up to 10 times of the Earth's mass, 165 are similar to Jupiter in size, 19 are double the size of Jupiter and 662 are Neptune-sized.
Speaking on the discovery's NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said, "These discoveries underscore the importance of NASA's science missions, which consistently increase understanding of our place in the cosmos."
Earlier, around 500 exoplanets were in the knowledge of NASA scientists.
Kepler telescope is orbiting the sun, observing around 155,000 stars. It measures the amount of light stars emit every half an hour and detects a planet orbiting a star each time when a planet passes in front of its star, blocking light temporarily.
