Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Dynegy Inc. extended for a third time the deadline for its distressed-debt exchange, which would swap as much as $1.25 billion of its outstanding notes for cash and new securities worth less than face value.
Bondholders tendered $90.9 million as of yesterday, the Houston-based company said in an Oct. 27 statement, or 7.3 percent of the total amount the company is seeking to exchange. The third-largest independent U.S. power producer is negotiating with its creditors ahead of $220 million of bond interest and lease payments it has coming due in November and December, according to an Oct. 6 report by Macquarie Capital USA.
On Sept. 15, Dynegy offered its bondholders cash and new debt worth 28 percent to 60 percent less than face value of their notes in an exchange meant to avoid a default. The latest deadline for holders to swap their debt is Nov. 3 at midnight, New York time, according to the statement.
"We expect the restructuring struggle to drag on for at least several months, and we anticipate that Dynegy will make the debt and lease payments due beginning November to avoid entering bankruptcy as it tries to solidify the option value for Dynegy stock," Angie Storozynski, a New York-based analyst for Macquarie, wrote in an Oct. 14 report. "A series of exchange offers is likely, as is a series of court fights on the restructuring plan."
The company's $1 billion of 8.375 percent senior unsecured bonds due May 2016 rose 1 cent to 67.5 cents on the dollar at 4:19 p.m. yesterday in New York, according to Trace, the bond- price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Holders of that debt were offered 65 cents on the dollar if they exchanged those securities by the Oct. 13 deadline.
Bondholder 'Dialogue'
Dynegy shares rose 5.1 percent to $3.72 at yesterday's close in New York. The stock, which traded above $50 in 2007, peaked for this year at $6.64 on July 13.
"We extended the exchange offer to continue the dialogue with the bondholders," Katy Sullivan, a Dynegy spokeswoman, said in a telephone interview.
Dynegy said July 10 it would restructure the company in order to avoid violating an earnings-to-interest covenant in its loan agreement. The company created two units, one owning eight natural gas-fired power generation facilities and another owning a group of six coal-fired facilities, both of which would be "bankruptcy remote," insulating them if affiliates become insolvent, according to a statement.
Avenue Investments LP sued Dynegy on Sept. 21, claiming Dynegy stole assets from holders of $3.6 billion in notes in the restructuring.
The bondholders are seeking to undo the transaction, calling it a "fraudulent conveyance" that removed the coal- fired power plants from the reach of lenders and transferred them to shareholders, according to the lawsuit filed in New York State Supreme Court. Dynegy's Sullivan said at the time that the company doesn't comment on pending litigation.
NRG Energy Inc. and Calpine Corp. are the two largest U.S. independent power producers.

A special ski day planned at Craigleith Ski Club set out to prove the freedom of carving downhill, wind and snow in your face, is never out of reach.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Ontario invited men and women who have suffered injuries to try sit skiing for the day on Thursday, February 14, under the watchful eye and helping hands of volunteers from Track 3 and the Canadian Association for Disabled Skiers.
"Our goal as an organization is to help people rebuild their lives," said Gillian Lynne-Davies, of SCI Ontario.
One such life being rebuilt is Ken Henderson's: a smiley 24-year-old from Barrie. Until August, 2012, Henderson was active and athletic, and loved snowboarding with his sister, Jamie.
This summer, he fell from his dirt bike and suffered a T4 complete spinal injury that left him a paraplegic. He has no sensation or muscle control below his chest.
"It was just a flukey fall on my bike," said Henderson.
He tried sit skiing with the help of volunteers Walt Skobel and Adam Culliford, and alongside his girlfriend Sasha McMullan, who rode her snowboard.
"I didn't think I'd like it," said Henderson, adding he thought it would be a slow way to ski. "It was actually a lot of fun, it's definitely not slow."
In fact, sit skiing at a competitive level is faster than stand-up skiing, since the athlete is always in a sort of crouched position.
Rich Vanderwal reached speeds of 100 km/h in World Cup level competition in his career as a sit-ski racer.
He suffered a spinal cord injury at age 21 in a motorcycle accident, but he's adapted to become a recreation therapist at Neurocore. He encourages people like Ken Henderson to try sit skiing, and he offers his expertise as a resource.
"My life is about peer support," said Vanderwal. "I encourage everyone to try [sit skiing]. It's an opportunity I don't want anyone to miss."
This opportunity and the others available to individuals with spinal cord injuries have surprised Henderson's family.
"I have to be honest - I'm continually blown away by what's available for people who have suffered spinal cord injuries," said Shelly Henderson (Ken's mother). "The technology and inventions out there make things easier so they can enjoy life."
Ken Henderson and the ten others on the hill last week proved a day of sit-skiing meant more than an opportunity to try a new sport.
Ken said the most important part of the day was participating, knowing this exhilaration was within reach.
"Even if you're a paraplegic, you can still get out and rip down the hills," he said.

Flora of North America
VPAP Treatment
Robert P. Adams in Flora of North America (vol. 2)
Shrubs or trees evergreen. Branchlets terete, 3--6 angled, variously oriented, but not in flattened sprays. Leaves opposite in 4 ranks or in whorls of 3. Adult leaves closely appressed to divergent, scalelike to subulate, free portion to ca. 10 mm (to ca. 15 mm in Juniperus communis ); abaxial gland visible or not, elongate to hemispheric ( J . ashei ), sometimes exuding white crystalline deposit. Pollen cones with 3--7 pairs or trios of sporophylls, each sporophyll with 2--8 pollen sacs. Seed cones maturing in 1 or 2 years, globose to ovoid and berrylike, 3--20 mm, remaining closed, usually glaucous; scales persistent, 1--3 pairs, peltate, tightly coalesced, thick and fleshy or fibrous to obscurely woody. Seeds 1--3 per scale, round to faceted, wingless; cotyledons 2--6. x = 11. Juniperus is the only dioecious (sometimes monoecious) genus of Cupressaceae in the flora. Cones, generally terminal, are axillary in J . communis . Numerous cultivars of Juniperus species are widely used for landscaping. Mutants, or 'sports,' affecting plant habit and foliage are present in all species and are likely related to single-gene mutations. Many have been given formal names or incorrectly ascribed to hybridization. Gymnocarpy (bare seeds protruding from the cone), caused by insect larvae (T. A. Zanoni 1978), is occasionally found in most junipers, particularly in the southwestern United States. Specimens with such aberrations may be almost impossible to identify without chemical data.
: Shrubs or trees, usually dioecious.
: short shoots 4 angled to cylindric; bark usually thin, peeling in strips or in one species thick, deeply fissured into rectangular plates.
: decussate or tricussate; scale-like to less often awl- or needle-like.
: 3-5 mm long; sporophylls 6-24, decussate or tricussate; pollen sacs 2-8 per sporophyll.
: 3-20 mm long, fleshy to fibrous to rarely obscurely woody, berry-like, dry or fleshy, flavorless to resinous (bitter) to sweet, usually glaucous, formed by fusion of scales, more or less spheric, surrounded at base by minute scale-like bracts; scales 3-8, decussate or tricussate.
: 1-3 per scale, terete or angled, unwinged, usually dispersed by animals; cotyledons 2-6.
: ca. 60 spp; N. Hemisphere. (Latin name for juniper). Adams, R.P. and T.A. Zanoni. 1979. Southw. Naturalist 24:323-329; Vasek, F.C. 1966. Brittonia 18:350-372; Zanoni, T.A. 1978. Phytologia 38:433-454.

Britex Fabrics loves everything about silk and it shows. Silk is a natural fiber that is usually derived from the mulberry silkworm's cocoons.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Apollo!
Facts about Apollo
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Apollo's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Meet Apollo. He is a lab/hound mix. Apollo is yellow in color, and has white feet, chest, and tip of his tail. He is about 10 weeks old and weighs 15 lbs. We think he will be on the large size when he is full-grown as he has huge paws. He was neutered today. He had his first set of shots, bordetella, and dewormer already. Adoption fee of $200. He is fostered with Kristen and Amy in Clearwater.
Other Pets at FARR - Florida Retriever Rescue, Inc
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Apollo, a Largo Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Largo, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Largo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Largo already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Largo breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Hound (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Largo paves the way for another one to be saved.

2015 Porsche Boxster GTS will have its premiere in April at the Beijing Motor Show.
But before all that this model is captured and taken to Germany so we can see what can we expect from the new Porsche models.
Price of Porsche Boxster 2015
For this model will most likely have to set aside about $ 75,000.
The Porsche Boxster is an ideal instance of just what a mid – engined convertible must be. Being Porsche, Porsche is continuously tweaking their cars, and that features the Boxster.
There have been several spy tries surfacing meaning a possible GTS variation of the Boxster. The GTS is aimed at buyers which desire something sportier compared to the S, and the GTS normally offers buyers more energy, much better aerodynamics and stiffened suspension.
The Boxster prototype viewed winter season testing clearly has a redesigned front bumper with revamped intakes and LED daytime running lights, brand-new tires and a brand-new rear diffuser. Sources claim that the Cayenne GTS will certainly receive a 15 horse power bump, producing a marvelous total amount of 330 horse power and will certainly additionally get Porsches PASM active suspension damping system.

Do you live in the Cloquet city limits?
Then consider yourself invited to Shamrock Landfill anytime between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday, June 7.

Grateful that you guys are still pressing for all these people to see justice. Venturoso is next, and I'm sure he knows it. His track record of legal troubles only further complicates his situation, and when the authorities finally sift through the mountain of rubble that is his dealings with and for Marshall Carson, he too will be paying for his crimes. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Also- Bob Camacho of "Integrity CPA" needs to be put away too- I didn't see him mentioned here and he was helping Marshall with his lies:
As you know, the funds did not arrive into the Escrow Account as expected. However, I was informed at 10:54 am of the 20th via telephone conversation that the Banker (sending the SIZABLE funds) made contact and verbally stated that the Wire had gone out on Friday. We were supposed to receive the actual tracking documents later in the day, but as of Saturday at 1:20pm, I have not personally seen them. So far, the group (bankers, et al) producing 'the proof of funds' and 'the pre-advices' have done so relatively close to the schedules set forth. That is why we expected funds on time. As it turns out, I understand there were a few bank to bank issues to rectify. I was not privy to those conversations. I was informed after the fact.
Anyway, according to my banker, the funds should post no later than Tuesday, if indeed the wire went out Friday. I should see proof of 'wire out' on Monday.
Sorry for the inconveniences related to these few days of delay. Our expectation is funds within a few days. I will send out another e-mail within 15 minutes of viewing 'the tracking confirmation document' which shows wire-out and wire-in details of funds to be received into my Escrow account.
Most Sincerely,
Robert F. (Bob) Camacho, CPA

Camacho is the one to go after, as a CPA he should have had some sort of insurance. Chase him straight to HELL. He and Marshall should be sharing a cell. His willingness to put CPA after his name and then name his firm Integrity is disgusting. He gave creditability to both Marshall and John Harris, whoever that guy really is.

Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. (born October 20, 1971), known by his stage names Snoop Doggy Dogg, Snoop Dogg, and later Snoop Lion, is an American rapper, singer-songwriter, and actor. Snoop has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. His music career began in 1992 when he was discovered by Dr. Dre. He collaborated on Dre's solo debut The Chronic (1992), and on the theme song to the feature film Deep Cover.
Snoop's debut album, Doggystyle, was released in 1993 under Death Row Records, debuting at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts. Selling almost a million copies in the first week of its release, Doggystyle became certified 4× platinum in 1994 and spawned several hit singles, including "What's My Name" and "Gin & Juice". In 1994, Snoop released a soundtrack on Death Row Records for the short film Murder Was The Case, starring himself. His second album Tha Doggfather (1996), also debuted at No. 1 on both charts with "Snoop's Upside Ya Head" as the lead single. The album was certified 2× platinum in 1997.
Tha Blue Carpet Treatment is the 8th studio album by American rapper Snoop Dogg, released November 21, 2006, on Geffen Records. Production for the album took place during 2005 to 2006 at several recording studios and was handled by Dr. Dre, The Neptunes, Battlecat, DJ Pooh, Timbaland, Danja, Mark Batson, Terrace Martin, and Mr. Porter. The album debuted at number 5 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 264,000 copies in its first week.
Snoop Dogg called on three of the hottest DJs from their respective regions: Drama (representing the South), Skee (L.A.) and Whoo Kid (New York). "With a legend like Snoop recruiting the biggest DJs from each region, the combination alone makes history, and the mixtape backs it up with 24 bangers," said DJ Skee.

Re: For those that moved from land to sea
Thought about it for about 8 years so I saved here and there. Kept an eye on sailboatlistings.com and craigslist for a couple hours on average a week, just seeing what was moving and what the market was doing.
Finally, in one month I sought out slips and boats, finally narrowed it down to one slip and one boat, bought it, spent about 2 months sailing it on the weekends and cleaning it and hauling it out for a couple necessary things. Then when my rental lease on land was up, I moved aboard, as planned.
I had to sell all my old furniture that roommates were sharing and using. And I had to sell a few surfboards that wouldn't fit in the aft bunk, and I had to put my expensive bed/bedframe in my moms garage 400 miles away, and buy a bunch of big plastic bins to store my clothes in. It's been totally worth it all.

I don't mean creeped out, I mean absolutely terrified of every creepy crawly out there. I'm sure if my neighbors have ever watched me garden they laugh their butts off. About every 3 minutes, I run shrieking and flailing around hysterically back into the house. It's a wonder anything even gets planted. Please tell me I'm not the only one. |

The Backward is the Forward's annual satirical Purim edition. Enjoy!
Backward cartoonist Tal Elijah is again under fire, this time for depicting his bubbe as a naked, scale-covered fire-breathing whore of Babylon, graphically copulating with the Antichrist while the Earth is engulfed in flames. "It's satire, obviously," said Backward editor Ian Fist. The rabbis of New York's Congregation B'nai Yeshurun (known as BY), previously satirized by the cartoonist, could not be reached for comment as they were, according to Elijah, dancing on a defaced Torah scroll while drinking the blood of Christian babies. "I don't see what people are so upset about," said Fist.

Review: Kiarostami's 'Like Someone In Love' Is a Masterful Character Study Filled with Pathos and Dread
Movie Reviews By Caitlin Hughes on February 15, 2013 | Be the First To CommentEditor's Note: This review originally ran during the 2012 NYFF, but we're re-running it now as the film opens in limited theatrical release. It's impossible to understand who a person truly is upon first meeting them. Impressions can be made, based on the context of the meeting, but you can never know the true self that lies beneath the surface. In Abbas Kiarostami's masterful Like Someone In Love, two very different people meet by chance, but within a 24-hour period, they discover more about each other and about themselves than either of them could have possibly fathomed. Kiarostami takes what would seem like a simple character study and, with his astute direction, morphs it into an incredibly well-executed work of art that is imbued with a palpable sense of unease. These two people are Akiko (Rin Takanashi) and Takashi (Tadashi Okuno). Akiko is studying biology in college and conflicted over whether or not to break up with her controlling boyfriend, Noriaki (Ryo Kase). She also works at an escort service. Takashi is an elderly man, working as a translator, who lives alone.

ABC News' Eloise Harper and Sunlen Miller report: Sen. Barack Obama, speaking in Reading, Pa., said that John McCain would be better than President Bush, and Hillary Clinton used the line as an opening to attack both Obama and McCain.
"You have a real choice in this election. You know, either Democrat would be better than John McCain, but, and all three of us would be better than George Bush," Obama said. "What you have to ask yourself is who has the chance to actually really change things in a fundamental way? So that 10 years from now or 20 years from now you can look back say, 'Boy, we really moved in a new direction and we've put the country on a better path.'"
Clinton pounced on the comments immediately in Johnstown, Pa.
"Sen. Obama said today that John McCain would be better for the country than George Bush. Now Sen. McCain is a real American patriot who has served our country with distinction. Sen. McCain would follow the same fatal policies that have been so wrong for our country the last seven years. Sen. McCain thinks its OK to keep our troops in Iraq for the next 100 years. Is that better than George Bush?"
But Clinton didn't stop there. She continued the line of questioning.
"Sen. McCain will continue the failed economic policies of George Bush that have brought us deficit and increasing debt. Is that better than George Bush? Sen. McCain does not have a health care plan that will cover every American. In fact, we will have more and more uninsured Americans. Is that better than George Bush? Sen. McCain has no plans to end the housing foreclosure crisis or cut the cost of gas at the pump. Is that better than George Bush? We need a nominee who will take on John McCain, not cheer on John McCain, and I will be that nominee," Clinton said.
This is the latest in the back and forth between the two candidates leading up to the Pennsylvania primary. Clinton and Obama have been trading barbs over a range of issues including health care and the oil companies.

Documentary On 'Club King' Mario Diaz To Premiere At Miami Gay And Lesbian Film Fest: VIDEO
A documentary on gay nightlife impresario Mario Diaz, who you may recognize from his appearance in 'Rambo, But Gay' or from the neon nightlife he has become such a staple of, will debut at the Miami Gay and Lesbian Film Festival on May 8, according to OUT Magazine. 'Club King' focuses on Diaz's life as a club promoter extraordinaire, permanently surrounded by glitz and go-go-boys. Reflecting on how he came to his line of work, Diaz says,
"When I was in high school and I was young and I knew I was going to end up in New York City one day, I remember thinking, 'Wow!' That's what it's like to really be gay and be in the gay city. And you know these underground clubs and this freedom of sexuality—it just seemed so exciting and cool and I wanted to be part of it."
The film also features Mario (perhaps inadvertently) imparting tips and life lessons to the audience—i.e. "Remember, the slower you dance the hotter it is."

Once Google Map Maker launches in the United States, cyclists will be able to find and submit detailed information on bicycling routes to Google. Here's how it works and how you can help make it better.
Bicyclists asked, Google listened. Bicycling directions, the most-requested feature for Google Maps, launched two weeks ago.
For Google's part, they're happy that cyclists are happy. Google Maps project manager Shannon Guymon said they have found that cyclists are a "vocal bunch in general" and "definitely more passionate."
"We're very happy to be able to respond to that passion," Guymon said. "When we launched we just had a ton of people thanking us and wanting to improve the feature"
Now sure, the directions can't substitute for years of local knowledge, but the service returns safer, more bike-friendly routes than those suggested for cars. The basic formula avoids steep hills, busy roads and complicated intersections. Instead, it directs bicyclists to trails, dedicated bike lanes and bicycling-friendly roads. It also taps into 12,000 miles of biking trails, some provided by the Rails-To-Trails conservatory, as well as dedicated bike lane information from 150 cities in the United States.
The feature puts Google ahead of mapping rivals MapQuest, Yahoo and Microsoft (e-mails to MapQuest and Yahoo went unreturned. Microsoft responded, saying they were unable to comment).
But even though Google has beat its rivals to launch, how do you reliably map the bicycling routes in the tens of thousands of U.S. cities and towns, not to mention the world?
Bicyclists, meet Google Map Maker.
Google Map Maker
For most of the developed world, mapping companies have detailed, reliable mapping information, from the widest highways down to rustic jeep trails. But in developing regions, maps are less complete and satellite imagery is less detailed. Locals are far more likely to know road conditions, road safety and everything else needed to make an automated mapping program.
Google's answer to this information gap—without having to send an army of Google cartographers into the developing world—was Google Map Maker, which is already available in 181 countries and territories, most of them developing nations. It's even available in Antarctica and North Korea.
But the feature is not available in the United States and the majority of the developed world. Yet.
Google plans to launch its Google Map Maker software in the United States some time soon, Guymon said, allowing riders with local knowledge of bicycle routes to provide firsthand knowledge of the bicycle route.
"That's going to be a really powerful tool," Guymon said. "Instead of just describing a problem, users will be able to directly suggest solutions."
On Google Map Maker, users can correct road information, make existing routes more accurate, add entirely new roads and trails, and add map labels. Read more about how the feature works in Google's documentation page.
Google Map Maker could potentially allow users to add not just local bike paths, but also mountain bike trails, unknown shortcuts and all the other accumulated local knowledge from riding in an area.
Information collected from Google Map Maker goes much deeper than a store listing or the name of a new park. The mapping feature asks for detailed route information, including route popularity, road condition, construction status, number of lanes, speed and -- most importantly -- the type of bicycle path and the bicycle safety level.
Watch an examples of how this feature works:
More features coming
When bicycling directions came to Google Maps, missing was any mention of mobile devices. Guymon said the feature is coming to the mobile world soon, and is "hopefully not too far away."
Users want more information about elevation, more options to avoid or seek out elevation, and more customizable routes, Guymon said.
"We've heard a lot about elevation," Guymon said. "People also want more options. Some people have requested to indicate they prefer hills or paved or unpaved roads. Or they prefer trails or paved only. So at this point we're kind of just listening to all the feedback and trying to understand."
Early to launch?
Critics were quick to point out that Google Maps sometimes chose less-than-optimal routes. The New York Post warned that bike directions are "filled with potentially fatal flaws."
Guymon explained that they launched bicycling directions because they "didn't want to sit on it any longer."
The project was started two years ago by software engineer Andrew Schwerin, an avid bicyclist who used to work at Google. Five months ago, Google was able to swap out its underlying map data, which made it much easier to connect bicycling data with road data. Before its launch, Google had been testing the feature on more and more Google employees.
"We launched the feature in beta, we know that the data is not complete and that's why we're calling it beta," Guymon said. "We hope that users who find a way that the data can be improved will use the [feedback] mechanism."
How to help
For now, Guymon encouraged users to give feedback through Google Map's existing feedback tool. If Google receives legitimate reports that a busy road is bad for cycling, Google engineers have the capability to remove that road as a cycling option, Guymon said.
Google has a number of ways to verify if the feedback is valid, said Google spokeswoman Elaine Filadelfo. Once Google receives a report, Filadelfo said they'll try to validate the feedback through satellite imagery, street view images and public data sources.

A less than loving Valentine's Day in Washington
WASHINGTON -- On the feast day of St. Valentine in the Anglican Church and various other religious jurisdictions around the globe, love may have been in the air, but not here in the Nation's capital.
About a foot of snow covered the monuments, short-circuiting the timely delivery of Lotharios' floral gifts to the objects of their affections. Through the previous night, rumbling District of Columbia plows labored to clear the streets to florists' shops and recipients' doorbells.
One early valentine did go to President Obama from House Speaker John Boehner, when the speaker accepted without conditions his demand for a clean extension of the federal debt limit. A similar one arrived at the White House from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose companion surrender allowing Congress as a whole to come in from the cold, at least temporarily.
But the twin messages, and the grudging compliance of enough House and Senate Republicans in voting to pass the extension, did not disguise the fact that most of their party remained opposed. They were willing to shut the government shutdown again, had not a few of them joined the near-solid Democratic vote to avoid a replay the October fiasco.
There continued also to be no love lost or wasted between the Republicans and the president as the war over Obamacare continued unabated. This was so despite the news that in the previous month his health-care insurance law had exceeding administration expectations in signups, bringing the total to nearly 3.3 million.
A GOP consensus remains, driven by the tea party faction, that continuing the relentless assault on the Affordable Care Act should continue to be the means by which to hold Republican control of the House and take over the Senate in the November congressional elections.
That strategy worked in the previous off-year elections of 2010, gaining Republican majority in the House and making Boehner its speaker. But in the 2012 presidential election, bashing Obamacare could not prevent the party's defeat. That outcome was widely blamed within the GOP on the campaign of nominee Mitt Romney, a vulnerable personal target painted successfully by the Democrats as a wealthy man aloof to the concerns of most voters.
This week, snowed-in Washington was the least of the Obama administration's concerns. As the white stuff fell, the president was hit with a much more vexing problem from abroad -- in another display of anti-Americanism from soon-to-retire President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan.
While still dragging his heels on signing an agreement on the retention of an American training force in his still embattled country, Karzai released 65 imprisoned Taliban suspects, pointedly ignoring U.S. objections that the newly released militants could "commit new acts of violence and terror."
The American Embassy in Kabul quickly complained, warning of other unwanted consequences, presumably including the withdrawal of all U.S. forces after 2014, when all American combat troops are already scheduled to leave.
Karzai's language was particularly incendiary, calling on the United States to "stop harassing Afghanistan's procedures and judicial authority," and declaring through a spokesman: "Afghanistan is a sovereign country. If Afghan judiciary authorities decide to release prisoners, it's of no concern to the U.S."
American military officials said the 65 prisoners were "directly linked" to the killing or wounding of 32 NATO troops including Americans, and 23 Afghan security forces and civilians. The decision to free them is generally considered a Karzai move to bring Taliban leaders to the peace negotiations.
But his response to the U.S. objections is yet another example of Karzai's irritatingly confrontational posture toward his American allies, seen in part as playing to Afghan national pride. One Republican senator, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, warned he might call for an end to all U.S. aid to the country, saying Karzai "is single-handedly destroying this relationship."
All in all, the heavy snowfall that blanketed Washington on Valentine's Day was not the only element putting a damper on the spirit of affection that traditionally marks the occasion. Whether in love or politics, spring can come none too soon to the city and to the Obama administration likely to reside here in continuing tribulation for three more years.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xxd0dihass-and-associates-cyber-security-hacker-ethicsnews#.URUyhh3oklA Believed to have originated from MIT between the 50s and 60s, hacker ethics are like unwritten rules, guiding philosophy and morals, that are silently observed by the hacking community. They are not actually discussed or debated but understood, accepted and agreed (by their community) implicitly. Hackers are staunch supporters of open-source software and freeware because of the nature behind those that allow them to access the source code (useful in reuse and improvement). Access to anything that can teach people something should not be limited as we understand more on how things work the more we tinker.They are also firm believers that information must be free to all for the purpose of reinvention, improvement and repair. For them, free exchange of data fosters more creativity. Hackers argue that people effectively learn from and improve existing systems and ideas if there is more access, ergo more technological improvement.Hackers follow a system based on merits and skill where demographic criteria are deemed irrelevant.

I bought this in November and wanted to wait a good long while before I did a review.
I'm kind of in awe... my skin is actually getting clearer. It's not perfect, but honest to god, it's smoother and I have less breakouts. I'm really shocked, somehow I thought it just wouldn't work for me as well as it did for everyone else. This is the most expensive beauty product I own, but I'm so glad I bought it. I use this everyday, which some people say is too much, but I don't have sensitive or dry skin, so it isn't a problem. I never really experienced a big skin purge or breakout like some people did- just a gradual decrease in the red bumps and acne breakouts I was getting.
I use this by cleansing my skin with a makeup removing cleanser, then using this with a gentle acne wash. Working fantastically for me so far.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've given this 5 stars because it has worked better than any other skin treatment I've used to treat my skin other than Accutane. Don't expect a miraculous transformation but it makes a bigger difference than most other skin products I've tried (almost everything under the sun in the past 24 years, including drugstore, department store, dermatologist, DIY natural...). I've been using it once a day, in the evening, for six weeks.
My skin type is combination, with both oily and dry patches and problems with a few bumps, breakouts, and acne scars. I'm also starting to show signs of age, mostly with hyperpigmentation but also with some wrinkling on my forehead and below my eyes.
What MIA helped with:
- Overall skin texture is much smoother. MIA finely and thoroughly exfoliates. Makeup goes on smoother.
- Skin is noticeably brighter and shinier.
- Less products are needed to moisturise and cleanse. A little dab of any moisturiser sinks in nicely. Cheapo cleansers work as well as any. I'm using a drugstore milk type cleanser with MIA.
- Has gotten rid of some of the small bumps and clogs trapped under the skin.
- It gets my face very clean.
- Elegant design and well built. Lasts for about three weeks before a recharge is needed.
- Has not reduced large breakouts and resulting discolouration.
- Hyperpigmentation and wrinkles are the same.
- Blackheads and pore size haven't changed much.
- Initial cost is quite large and new brushes need to be purchase every few months.
- No international plug is available as far as I can tell?? I searched far and wide for a MIA with a European 2-pin plug but it only seems to be available with a US plug. Works with international plug adaptors but that's an extra thing that clutters up an otherwise minimalist design. Minor complaint in the end since it doesn't need recharging very often.
Overall, I'm happy with the MIA but it is not a miracle product!! I've have tried SOOO many skin care treatments over the years and most make no discernable difference. MIA gets 5 stars from me for having a visible impact on the overall texture and look on my skin, which would benefit people of all ages and skin types!

I will keep this short.
This product has completely changed my skin!
I love it.
I didn't have particularly bad skin before, I got the odd spot/blemish. My main problem was uneven skintone and my skin kind of felt 'bumpy' and never completely smooth.
I bought this after umm-ing and ahh-ing, reading all the reviews on here and debating if it really was worth the price tag. Well it definitely is.
I'd say if you can afford it - buy it.
The first few days of using this I got a few spots and blemishes but it does warn you that this will happen while your skin gets used to it.
After that though - never had a problem.
I obviously still get the odd hormonal bump under my skin but I guess nothing can prevent that.
My skin is clearer, brighter and more even.
I don't get any little blemishes or odd spots like before.
My skin really does feel CLEAN after I have used this and moisturiser sinks in so much better.
I use my clarisonic with a cream cleanser (like liz earle cleanse and polish but I use a cheaper one) as I find this keeps my skin hydrated and doesn't slip off my face while I'm using the clarisonic.
I have recommended this to so many people and I will keep doing so.
I use it before I go to bed, knowing I will wake up with clear bright skin.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm still on the fence about the Clarisonic. Working at a higher-end cosmetic chain, we were always trained about the amazing ability of the Clarisonic to cleanse more deeply and allow other skincare items to penetrate deeper and work more effectively (it does NOT exfoliate). I'm not really sure these claims are true. I have used my Clarisonic pretty religiously since I bought it over 2 years ago and I can't say my skin is really that much different. The fine lines that are starting to form around my eyes are exactly the same. I love that one in comparison to the others. I'm in LIKE with my Clarisonic, not love. It may just be psychosomatic in my mind thinking that it is making a big difference. That being said, I still continue to use it and do not regret purchasing it :)
OMG, I dont know what I did before I had this...
oh wait, if you look at my other reviews, I had pimples! Painful cystic breakouts on my chin.
Not anymore. seriously. I use the mia with purpose cleanser every night and spot on zit cream (bp) around nose & on chin. then moisturize with cerave pm. This has been my routine for a few months and I haven't been happier. At first you will have a few breakouts as your skin purges, but keep with it!
I liked the product, initially after use I had a dry skin but then I used it with Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser and it works wonders.
I use it nightly in my makeup removal regime and it works wonderfully.
I had some break outs around my hairline when I first began using the Mia but after 5 weeks I guess I'm finished "purging" and my skin is wonderful. My face is so soft, and while in the beginning it seemed to dry my face out a little I found using this only once a day instead of twice fix that. My pores do seem to be clearer/smaller and makeup seems to go on better. I was a little conceded that the Clarisonic was just a bunch of hype but I'm glad I got over it and gave it a try, it's great. My husband has seen such a difference in my skin he's decided he wants one for himself.
Ive only had this for a few days, using it nightly, and I really like it and can see a difference already.
Im a frequent user of high percentage glycolic so my skin is already pretty 'tough' but is easily sensitized if the balance is slightly off. I thought Clarisonic might upset this balance but it has not. Everything else in my skincare is natural and organic so Im hoping the Mia will replace my need to use glycolics. After using it my skin looks brighter and more plump due to the Mia boosting circulation.
It has ever so slightly dried out my skin but Im sure it will rebalance itself soon. The drying has not effected my makeup application or made me feel tight at all so Im not worried.
If you have Dry and Sensitized skin I would not recommend this. Only maybe for a weekly or fortnightly treatment, not once or twice a day like normal - oily skinned people may be able to use.
I know that everyone probably wishes it was for all skin types but its really not.
In Australia this retails for $150AUD. I thought it was going to be at least $50-100 more, especially considering that a cleanser and moisturiser can cost a similar amount here in Aus! Considering what it is I believe the price to be very reasonable!
More reviews by Kimberlyj33110
HG. Worth the hype. Great skin begins with clean skin, and this does it. I feel my skincare products work better because they are not sitting on top of a layer of dead skin cells. Had this since September, and it has improved the overall appearance of my skin. I use Philosophy purity or Cetaphil cleanser with my Mia after I wipe the day away with my Ponds or Olay cleansing wipes. It's worth the splurge. For those of you that get dried out, make sure you are using a good moisterizer after cleansing with your Mia, it will make a HUGE difference :) LOVE IT!!!! My only regret is that maybe I should have really splurged on the full size Clairsonic.... I am a self tanner addict and can only imagine how amazingly the full size clairsonic exfoliates :)
Be careful purchasing this product. Before using the MIa my skin was dry and I had the ocassional pimple. I was hoping the Mia would revitalise my skin and allow it to glow. No such luck. The Mia completely dried out my skin and I broke out into a rash after using it 5 times. My skin feels irritated, itchy, and bumpy and hard like I have a layer of dry scar tissue on my face. I have all of these tiny little bumps on my skin that I never had before. Long story short, the Mia damaged my skin and it feels tender and flaky. I have tried to moisturize but it still feels scaly and dry. I am going to return this product.

Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: April 8, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on April 9, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr spends a long day in the multiplex, checking out a variety of films from alcoholic romantic comedies to nature documentaries with elephants and orangutans. He drinks himself silly and hits on Greta Gerwig in Arthur, narrowly escapes being killed by ass-kicking teen assassin Hanna, narrowly escapes getting his arm bitten off by a tiger shark in Soul Surfer and peeps in on Natalie Portman undressing for a swim in Your Highness. Too bad she's pregnant now, 'cause Kevin just ain't into that scene.
Review: Russell Brand was Born to Play 'Arthur'
Movie Reviews By Scott Beggs on April 8, 2011 | Comments (4)Cliches like the headline shouldn't be taken lightly. They should be avoided at all cost, except when they are so accurate that it would make your nose bleed. In the case of Russell Brand slurping hooch and pitching woo in the remake of Arthur, we may need to recheck the records to see if Dudley Moore died in the same hospital on the same day Brand was born. The strength of Arthur rests solely on its actors. The sequences are more than interwoven sketch comedy, but they aren't much more, and without the humor and absurdity inherent in the all-too-popular new character of the man child, this thing would have been as flat as if a giant magnet bed fell on it. Russell Brand is Arthur. And what Arthur is, is hilarious and heartfelt.

How do I tell the current setting on a running mysqld server for server options that are set in an option file, if those options are not also a system variable?
System variables are easy because they show up in show variables
, so for example if I want to know the server_id
for a running mysqld server I can just run this query:
show variables like 'server_id'
But what if I want to know the status of a server option that is not also a system variable? For example I want to know if skip-slave-start
is set on a running mysqld server. If it was set on the command line then I can run ps
and see if the option is present, but if it's in an option file I have no way of telling if it's enabled, because it won't show up in show variables
Can anyone tell me how to check this on a running database?

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Annie's
(BNNY) shares are down -7.8% to $30.05 on Wednesday following news that PricewaterhouseCoopers, the company's independent accounting firm, is resigning.
The firm stated that the organic foods company had "an insufficient complement of finance and accounting resources," according to a filing with the SEC.
The company experienced a steep drop after reporting disappointing fourth quarter earnings last week.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
TheStreet Ratings team rates ANNIE'S INC as a Sell with a ratings score of D+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate ANNIE'S INC (BNNY) a SELL. This is driven by a few notable weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and premium valuation."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- BNNY has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 10.64% from its price level of one year ago. Looking ahead, we do not see anything in this company's numbers that would change the one-year trend. It was down over the last twelve months; and it could be down again in the next twelve. Naturally, a bull or bear market could sway the movement of this stock.
- 35.36% is the gross profit margin for ANNIE'S INC which we consider to be strong. Regardless of BNNY's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, BNNY's net profit margin of 8.56% compares favorably to the industry average.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Food Products industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, ANNIE'S INC has underperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has exceeded that of the S&P 500.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the Food Products industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 21.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $4.23 million to $5.13 million.
