I love you, I need you near. Do you love me? Do you want to be here? You make me happy, You make my skies bright. You light my way, In the darkness of the night. I want you to hold me, In your arms as I weep. I want you to kiss me, So passionate and deep. If we cant be together, My heart will just break. And another broken heart, Is something I cannot take.

I know folks have their individual preferences as to software, but I was wondering if there was something out there that we all could use, i.e. something that is simply missing on the beer software landscape. I partly ask because programming is a bit of a hobby for me and I am looking for an interesting project to take up. Rather than just do something for the sake of doing something, I'd like to do something that folks might actually use, that people might get behind, etc. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Matt
I would like to see promash modernized.

At least it still runs on my 'puter after I upgraded the operating system to XP, unlike my DVD player software, MP3 player's software, ect. Maybe instead of upgrading Promash ( and charging the same or more for it), they could slash the price of it.....wouldn't exactly help me as I already own it, but I wonder how many others would bite if the price was lower. Allan
Yeah, I wish they would update Promash as well. I like how you can adjust a recipe in a brewing session without changing the master recipe. Also wish it had a better inventory program with cost basis built in. I would really like to track my recipe costs. Other than that, the only other thing it could do for me is to get up and stir the mash.

Berkeley Homes and Boris Johnson's £500 ceremonial trowel
There's an interesting feature in this week's Economist about Berkeley Homes, the developer which had a great influence on Greenwich Council during the Chris Roberts years.
It's not just interesting because it features "a local blogger" commenting on the former Dear Leader, who's still in close contact with the council leadership, and his ownership of a Berkeley home on the Royal Arsenal development in Woolwich. It also features the revelation that Boris Johnson was given a £500 ceremonial trowel by Berkeley's chairman, Tony Pidgeley, last summer. (He was also given a glass paperweight in October.) Johnson is, of course, responsible for strategic planning approval for developments such as the Arsenal (which is GLA land) and Kidbrooke Village. (Mind you, at least you can find Johnson's gifts and hospitality on the City Hall website – try having a look for the equivalent on the Greenwich site.)
It's not just Berkeley, it's not just Greenwich, it's not just Boris Johnson. Developers' demands are weighing heavily on many London boroughs, but some are more eager to be associated with them than others. And Berkeley's particularly good at gaining influence, especially as Pidgeley is also president of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (chair: Chris Roberts' friend Mark Adams) which has been pushing heavily for the Silvertown Tunnel and Gallions Reach Bridge. Indeed, this written answer from Johnson to London Assembly member Caroline Pidgeon acknowledges the link between Berkeley and the LCCI.
Next month's tall ships boondoggle will also feature another example of a developer wielding financial power – Barratt Homes, which is currently letting historic Enderby House rot away, is sponsoring the event and has its name on banners in Greenwich town centre. "Festival supporters" include Berkeley, Cathedral Group (Silvertown Tunnel supporter and Morden Wharf developer) and Knight Dragon (Greenwich Peninsula developer). Lots of lovely hospitality, no doubt.
It's not just on tall ships where developers and councillors can get together. Earlier this summer Cathedral's chief executive Richard Upton popped up at the unveiling of a tree dedicated to Vice Admiral Hardy at Devonport House, Greenwich, alongside Greenwich leader Denise Hyland and Lewisham's deputy mayor Alan Smith. Cathedral owns Devonport House, alongside the Movement development by Greenwich station and the Deptford Project across the borough boundary. Naturally, it got a warm write-up in Greenwich Time.
So it's worth keeping an eye on little things like this. As developers become more powerful, and with councils often unable to build their own housing, do we have representatives that can resist these charm offensives and fight for a good deal for us all?
Incidentally, the picture above is that of an ad for the latest phase of the Royal Arsenal – effectively, the flats that'll pay for Berkeley's contribution to the Crossrail station there. Note the little back-scratch for the mayor in the shape of a New Routemaster cruising along Beresford Street – in reality, it's highly unlikely that the Roastmaster will ever make it to SE18.
Lib Dems endanger Lewisham Hospital – and themselves
Lewisham Hospital is back in the firing line after parliament voted last night to give the health secretary powers to close local hospitals – a clause inserted after Jeremy Hunt's failure to close Lewisham Hospital.
Despite talk of concessions, there'll now be renewed worries for the future of Lewisham, which now forms a joint NHS trust with Queen Elizabeth in Woolwich.
The bill was voted through with support from Liberal Democrat MPs, including Southwark & Bermondsey's Simon Hughes – a slap in the face for local Lib Dems in south-east London who joined in the battle to save Lewisham Hospital (Lewisham Lib Dem leader Chris Maines is pictured above).
Beckenham's Conservative MP Bob Stewart was among those who joined Labour MPs and rebelled against the government.
While the Lib Dems were never likely to win seats in Greenwich, they form the opposition on Lewisham Council – and last night's vote, which comes ahead of elections in May, surely now increases the possibility that they'll be completely wiped out in nine weeks' time.
In fact, I'd like to know what the odds are on Labour winning every seat on Lewisham Council. While that result will delight local Labour activists, who see the Lib Dems as worse than dirt, a lack of opposition could prove dangerous in the long run – they don't have to look far to see what can go wrong when councils are dominated by one party.
So the Lib Dem MPs could have put a lot more than healthcare at risk in SE London last night. If I was one of their council candidates, then this morning I'd seriously be wondering why I was bothering.
Matt's the man: Pennycook picked by Greenwich Labour
Breaking news: Greenwich West councillor Matt Pennycook has been selected as Labour's candidate for Greenwich & Woolwich at the next general election, after a meeting of local members at the Woolwich Grand Theatre.
The vote followed a hustings featuring Pennycook and his five rivals for the position – Len Duvall, Annie Keys, Kathy Peach, David Prescott and Angela Cornforth.
Pennycook's selection to succeed Nick Raynsford in the safe Labour seat is likely to have ramifications in Greenwich Council, where he had been tipped by some to be a future leader.
He may now choose to stand down from the council at May's election, where he has already been re-selected as a candidate for Greenwich West. There's nothing stopping him staying on for a year (or even being a councillor and an MP), although he may wish to avoid the cost of a council election to follow a general election.
This would open up another vacant Labour seat. With two of leader Chris Roberts' allies having been forced out of their seats earlier this year, the stage is set for a battle between those who back the embattled leader and others who want to see the council take a new direction.
With Roberts widely thought to be reconsidering his decision to step down at the next election, who gets picked for these seats could be crucial for the future of the council.
Pat Boadu-Darko has stepped down in Eltham North for personal reasons, while it's also believed there's a space in Blackheath Westcombe after Simon Thomson was selected for Dartford at the general election.
Kidbrooke with Hornfair has selected Christine Grice to replace Hayley Fletcher, who resigned her nomination citing the "culture of bullying".
2.30pm update: According to Labour's council candidate for Shooters Hill, Chris Kirby, the 2015 general election has just been cancelled in Greenwich and Woolwich.
2.45pm update: And this bloke:
Heaven forbid that any of the rest of us get a say…
7.30pm update: And there's not really else to add. A curious fact: Matt Pennycook was the first man to be selected for Labour for the next election in a seat where an MP is retiring – all the others have been all-female shortlists.
I've been told but can't confirm that it was a closer battle than some expected, with the gap between Matt Pennycook and Len Duvall being as close as 30 votes (out of about 500), with David Prescott coming third.
Questions put to candidates included: "How would you reconcile the need for jobs and transport improvements locally with the global imperative to reduce carbon emissions?" Tellingly for Greenwich Council's claims of mass support, when it came to the Silvertown Tunnel, only Angela Cornforth was outright in her support for it.
So now it's all over. Congratulations to Matt Pennycook – hopefully he'll both champion the people of Greenwich & Woolwich (and points around and in between) and be a much-needed force for good in his own party and beyond. Good luck to him.
And as for Labour party members…
About half of the selection bumpf I've had through door in past month. To the recycling bin! #GWselection http://t.co/c31JlRv11l
Political Animal (@politic_animal) November 30, 2013
Will breakfast boy Matt rise and shine as Labour's winner?
It's the biggest political battle Greenwich or Woolwich has seen for a generation, and it ends tomorrow. The winner will get the keys to a safe seat in Parliament and the chance to develop a career which could peak in one of the nation's highest offices. The others are already working out their excuses.
But only 700 or so people will get a say, while the other 66,000 haven't even been told the identities of the six candidates battling it out. Those local Labour members have had their doors knocked upon, their phones rung and their emails clogged by candidates in a way that those of normal civilians who live in a rock-solid safe seat can only wonder at. Welcome to the contest to be Labour's candidate for the Greenwich & Woolwich parliamentary constituency.
The six shortlisted candidates who want to succeed Nick Raynsford were decided nearly three weeks ago, but no public announcement was ever made. Labour Party modernisers use this as an example to talk about primaries involving the public – but this is a world away from all that.
The shortlist is current borough mayor Angela Cornforth, London Assembly member Len Duvall, former councillor Annie Keys, charity professional Kathy Peach, Greenwich West councillor Matt Pennycook and public relations director David Prescott.
Pennycook remains the man to beat, with a well-funded and carefully-orchestrated campaign, with Duvall supporters still hopeful their candidate can mount a late surge to success. Peach and Keys appear to be leading the outsiders and can't be written off yet. Neither can David Prescott, with heavyweight backing.
It's been a bitter campaign, too. It's pitted Greenwich versus Woolwich and the young and ambitious against the party old guard. Most of the barbs seem to be flying towards Pennycook, a senior research and policy analyst at the Resolution Foundation think tank.
The allegations of bullying in Greenwich Council's leadership haven't helped either. While council leader Chris Roberts is largely disliked within the wider Greenwich & Woolwich party, broaching the subject of his behaviour acknowledges there's a problem. Particularly when the council your party runs refuses to investigate him, even though everyone else can smell the problem. Because ignoring it looks even worse.
Candidates and supporters were told to keep their rows off the internet after pointed criticisms of Matt Pennycook were made in the comments section of this website.
This was followed by a minor Twitter spat over his refusal to discuss in a council meeting comments he'd made about "the decades-old culture of machine politics in Greenwich".
Critics both outside and inside the party charge Pennycook with hypocrisy – and some claim he's done a deal with Roberts, which he's denied, although Roberts is believed to be backing him (some say to get a potential council leadership rival out of the race, with Roberts reconsidering his pledge to stand down). But any member of a group of Labour councillors which has failed to deal with bullying in its ranks will hit trouble on the subject.
Even a councillor outside Greenwich got into bother. Lewisham councillor Kevin Bonavia (pictured right), who didn't make the shortlist but knows the toxic politics of Greenwich Labour well enough, tweeted that the "old-style culture in Greenwich must change".
For his honesty, he found Greenwich councillors demanding he be disciplined by the Lewisham party for his comments. Lewisham Labour councillors, who worry about the stench coming from across this side of the border, quite rightly, told their embarrassing neighbours where to stick it.
Indeed, in this race, being a Greenwich councillor has been, unusally, a disadvantage. While Pennycook's proud of his efforts to turn Greenwich into a living wage borough, the council's PR department has been silent on the matter – allowing the local Tories to pitch to the left of Labour on the issue.
Kathy Peach, who's run a lively and thought-provoking campaign, managed to get two birds with one stone when emailing local members about an event last week. First, she made a dig at an event Pennycook held with the Guardian's Polly Toynbee, then nailed the council's lack of interest in the borough's high streets.
Cosy chit-chats with Guardian contributors are pleasant enough, but won't change anything in the real world.
For a glimpse of reality, head out from Woolwich Grand Theatre, look around General Gordon Square, and walk down Powis Street: once diverse community spaces that I remember from my childhood, but now lined with betting shops. Indeed Woolwich is home to 9 betting shops in total – nearly a third of the constituency's 30 betting shops – all within a few hundred metres of each other.
Payday lenders, fast food takeaways and betting shops have proliferated all over our constituency. How did a council that won 'council of the year' for its regeneration efforts fail to stem this slow demise of our high streets – the social and commercial lifeblood of our constituency?
How, indeed. For the record, Polly Toynbee has told this website she is not endorsing any candidate in the selection.
But relentless campaigning – and funding from the Unite and GMB unions – has helped Matt. This week, rivals have been crying foul that he's offering to buy breakfast for party members on Saturday morning, ahead of the final hustings and vote.
In a public election, "treating" – buying food, drink or entertainment to influence voters – is frowned upon, and can be illegal. But there isn't the same provision in Labour's rulebook, so members can dine out on Pennycook's campaign on Saturday morning.
Supporters of rival candidates are seething – but there's little they can do. As a current councillor yet still a relatively face, Pennycook can pitch himself as both an insurgent and a member of the establishment. Critics sneer that he's an "empty suit" – but in an area when the party has struggled to adapt to 21st century communications, his promise of change has won people over.
He'll be a loss to the council, where he could have proved himself as a leader and shaken up an ageing, out-of-touch authority. Perhaps if Nick Raynsford had held on for another term, this might have happened. But when you've the chance to appear on a bigger stage, why would you turn it down?
Len Duvall is pitching himself as the "unity" candidate, and his backers point to a track record of getting things done, including standing up to Roberts and the council he once led. This should have been his to lose. It could still be – he's best placed to stop the Pennycook juggernaut.
He's very much the favourite of the anti-Roberts councillors and activists in Greenwich – who remember a better-run council under his control – and is particularly strong in the Woolwich area.
But Duvall does represent the party's old guard – this campaign should have been his to lose – indeed, his campaign is being run by Quentin Marsh, who ran Greenwich Council 25 years ago. In 2010, former councillor Marsh posed as an ordinary voter on a Labour leaflet imploring electors to back the party's candidates in Charlton in Charlton. This isn't forward to a shiny new future.
All this said though, Duvall's well liked and much respected, can still definitely mount a late surge. Don't write him off yet. As his supporters say, at least the old guard knew how to get things done.
Annie Keys and Kathy Peach will be pinning their hopes on squeezing through on second choices. Both mounted community-focused campaigns, with Keys coming out against the Silvertown Tunnel and Peach declaring herself sceptical. (Duvall is believed to be for the crossing, while Pennycook has not stated a view either way.)
Charlton-based Keys is popular in both the Greenwich and Woolwich parts of the constituency, while Peach has played up her Woolwich roots. There are many who wish this had been an all-woman selection to force a clean break from the area's political past of bickering blokes not achieving very much – for generally, when Labour members get a choice of both genders, they tend to go for the man.
They'll be competing for the votes of those who wish for a Stella Creasy or Heidi Alexander-style MP. Both have worked to emulate those community-rooted values. Neither can be written off just yet – those second choices could see either of them go well, particularly Keys, who has a strong network of local contacts. (Declaration of interest: I'm a trustee of a charity Annie set up to run an under-fives' club in Charlton.)
David Prescott has homed in on problems with property developers in the area – the kind of issue you won't read in Greenwich Time, and a brave one to raise when your own Labour council is in bed with those same developers. He's also been talking up renationalising the railways – more radical than his dad, former deputy prime minister John – managed in office. He's got heavyweight national Labour backing – notably shadow health secretary Andy Burnham and likely London mayoral hopeful Lord Adonis – and union backing too. Will this be enough to see him through?
Finally, the most perplexing candidate is Angela Cornforth – a Roberts ally said to be in the race solely to draw votes away from Keys and Peach. Earlier this year she stood for an area committee on the Co-op, claiming that "Greenwich councillors are taking the first steps to prepare for co-operative council status" – which brought hollow laughter from those connected with the council that I've asked.
Most recently, Cornforth has been the subject of controversy for twice intervening in council meetings on matters that would embarrass Chris Roberts – even writing to the News Shopper to defend herself. Indeed, Greenwich Council's weekly propaganda newspaper even misled the public about her inauguration, pretending it was at Woolwich Town Hall and not at a lavish ceremony at the old Royal Naval College. She's as much chance of being the next MP as I have of scoring the winner at The Valley on Saturday.
So those are the candidates, and if you live in the Greenwich & Woolwich constituency, one of the six above is almost certain to be your next MP after 2015. There have been concerns raised about the amount of union money sloshing around the campaign – the days when a bright young upstart could reach the top through grit and hard work alone have gone. Such is modern politics.
Will this bad feeling be forgotten after Saturday's selection? The winning candidate will need a lot of support in the months ahead if he or she is to take a leading role cleaning up the practices and reputation of the Labour party in Greenwich.
But with victory in the bag, will the winner really want to? We shall wait and see.
Greenwich Tory mauls Mail over Ed Miliband hatchet job
While Greenwich Labour is still not acting over its bullying council leader, the party's national leader Ed Miliband is having abusive problems of his own, having to endure remarkably below-the-belt tirades of abuse about his late father from the Daily Mail.
That's Ralph Miliband, who fought the Nazis in World War II, being criticised by the Daily Mail, which supported the Nazis in the 1930s.
What's with the sudden diversion into national issues? Well, today, Greenwich Conservative councillor Nigel Fletcher got a mailshot from the Mail inviting him to advertise his business on Mail Online. Nigel's day job is running a think-tank called the Centre For Opposition Studies, studying the art and influence of those who aspire to the top job, but haven't quite made it. An apt choice for a Tory in Greenwich borough, many would say.
The Eltham North councillor shared his response on Twitter, and I thought it worth sharing here.
Good on you, Nigel. Now, how about a word with Jeremy Hunt?
Greenwich Tories protest over council's cycle tsar snub
Greenwich Council's refusal to deal with London's cycling tsar Andrew Gilligan is to be raised by Conservative councillors at this Wednesday's full council meeting.
It's a move that will raise eyebrows among watchers of the capital's cycling issues – Conservatives on the London Assembly have walked out of debates on cycling safety in tantrums over unrelated issues.
But as often happens in Greenwich borough's through-the-looking-glass politics, the Tories are staking out a position to the left of the council's authoritarian Labour leadership.
Council leader Chris Roberts is personally refusing to deal with the journalist, appointed by mayor Boris Johnson to be his one-day-per week cycling commissioner earlier this year, and launched an ambitious – if only partially-funded – programme of improvements to boost cycling and make it safer.
Roberts has ordered that the whole council should have nothing to do with Gilligan, who lives in west Greenwich and has criticised the leader and his council in his Telegraph and Greenwich.co.uk columns – even though this means Greenwich is believed to be the only one of London's 32 boroughs to refuse to speak to him.
Last month, cabinet member Denise Hyland attempted to justify the snub, saying Gilligan "is a journalist who has blogged and written about significant issues of public policy within Greenwich and it is our view that he has an irresolvable conflict of interest", adding that the council would deal with officers at City Hall and TfL rather than with Gilligan.
The Tory motion reads:
Council disagrees with the Cabinet Member's suggestion that Mr Gilligan has "an irresolvable conflict of interest" and considers that his superior knowledge of our Borough should be something which works to Greenwich residents' advantage.
Council regrets that Greenwich is the only Borough not to meet with the Cycling Commissioner to help plan spending on infrastructure to support cycling across London.
Council considers that the actions and comments of the Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member with regard to the Cycling Commissioner places our residents at a clear disadvantage as plans are developed to improve cycling across London.
In particular Council wishes to express clear support for the 'Mayor's Vision for Cycling in London', most notably in its plans for a network of direct, high-capacity, joined-up cycle routes. In addition Council supports the Vision's plan for 'Mini-Hollands' in the suburbs and Mr Gilligan's support for the linked Dutch ideas of bike-specific traffic lights, station cycle hire, and streets designs that could be implemented in London.
Council calls upon the Leader of the Council or Cabinet Member to meet with the Cycling Commissioner as soon as possible to ensure that Greenwich residents (like Mr Gilligan) are not disadvantaged by the Executive's failure to engage fully with the Mayor's Vision for Cycling in London.
While it's good that this issue is being given a proper airing in a council meeting – especially from a party which, nationally and at a London level, has a poor record in taking cycling seriously – the motion is certain to fail, and be replaced by one praising the council's current approach, which backbench Labour councillors will be bullied into voting for, with a few digs at the coalition and Boris put in for good measure.
Indeed, it wouldn't be surprising if the motion has been placed with one eye on giving outgoing leader Roberts maximum discomfort at the last council meeting for three months. Greenwich certainly isn't an anti-cycling borough, but under the current regime improvements and welcome initiatives such as creating a borough-wide cycle map have been given a low profile. It's something some potential new leaders may be keen to change, to emulate other Labour boroughs such as Camden, Hackney and Lambeth.
Incidentally, this London-wide map of where people cycle to work from is telling – based on figures from the 2011 census, you can see how figures fall off sharply beyond Charlton and Blackheath (apart from an area around Woolwich Common – cycling squaddies?) – obviously distance is a factor, but if there's any politicians in this area who want to take cycling seriously, there's a challenge for them to consider.
Greenwich & Woolwich MP Nick Raynsford to stand down
Breaking news: Greenwich & Woolwich MP Nick Raynsford is to stand down at the next general election, he told Labour Party members at a meeting in Charlton tonight.
Raynsford, who will be 70 at the time of May 2015's election, has represented the local area since 1992, when he was elected MP for the old Greenwich seat after beating incumbent Social Democrat Rosie Barnes by a slim majority. He also spent just over a year as MP for Fulham after winning a by-election there in 1986.
Since 1997 he has won Greenwich & Woolwich with comfortable five-figure majorities, and his decision is likely to spark a scramble among local Labour figures keen on almost-certain entry into parliament. The party may choose to go for an all-female shortlist, like neighbouring Lewisham Deptford.
Raynsford is known for his expertise in housing and construction – but criticised for his closeness to the construction industry, where he earns a sizeable income from other interests, including the chairmanship of Triathlon Homes, responsible for affordable housing in Stratford's Olympic Park.
He has controversially backed the almost universally-unpopular Greenwich Market hotel development plans, since scrapped, as well as two schemes supported by Conservative mayor Boris Johnson: the Silvertown Tunnel and his idea for an airport in the Thames Estuary.
But he was also credited with helping bring Crossrail to Woolwich, as well as backing other regeneration schemes in the area. He's recently laid into plans to downgrade Lewisham Hospital's A&E, as well as cuts to police and fire services.
As minister for London under Tony Blair, Raynsford was also instrumental in the creation of the capital's mayoralty, and even put himself forward to be Labour's candidate in the 2000 election. Former mayor Ken Livingstone has credited him for his work in getting the GLA's City Hall HQ built in time and on budget.
Livingstone said in 2010 that Raynsford would have been "a much more effective cabinet Minister than many of those who were [appointed]. There's clearly something wrong about Tony Blair that he didn't recognise that."
11pm update: Expect a flood of applicants to replace Nick Raynsford, all-woman shortlist or not. All-female shortlists are decided beyond local level, although local activists will have a say.
Outgoing Greenwich Council leader Chris Roberts will be many people's favourite. But he said last year he'd be "bored" as an MP, is believed to want to remain in the council cabinet, and he's also unpopular with local party members. David Prescott, son of former deputy prime minister John, will be a front-runner, as will Greenwich West councillor Matt Pennycook. I mentioned Greenwich cabinet member Jackie Smith for the council leadership – would she fancy Westminster rather than Woolwich?
Whatever's decided, expect a wide open field – if you can design websites, get friendly with Labour party members now. Some of them might want you to do a bit of work for them…
Friday 8.40am update: I've been I reminded of one person I missed out above… Len Duvall, current Greenwich and Lewisham London Assembly member, ex-Greenwich Council leader and Jackie Smith's husband. If Duvall was to get it, it may prompt a by-election for his seat on City Hall, which he has held since 2000.
Friday 12.20pm update: Len Duvall has confirmed on Twitter he would put his name forward if the party did not go for an all-woman shortlist.

Fulham tie up Stockdale deal
04 Jun 2008 - 17:04:19
Fulham have completed the signing of Darlington's highly-rated young goalkeeper David Stockdale.
The 22-year-old, who made 55 first-team appearances for the Quakers after starting his career at York City, has signed a two-year deal with the Premier League side after moving to Craven Cottage for an undisclosed fee.
Stockdale told the Cottagers' official website: "I'm delighted that my move to Fulham has finally been made official as it's always been a dream of mine to play in the Premier League.
"I'd like to thank the manager, colleagues, staff and the fans of Darlington who have all been great to me and I leave the club with some wonderful memories."
Fulham manager Roy Hodgson added: "David Stockdale is a welcome addition to the squad and I'm delighted that he joins us for the start of pre-season.
"He's one of a number of highly-rated young English goalkeepers and he'll continue to develop his skills and realise his full potential at Fulham under the guidance of Mike Kelly and the rest of my coaching staff.
"We're hopeful of great things from David and I'm confident that he'll be a valuable asset to the team in the future."

Christian girl accused of blasphemy freed from Pakistani jail
The young Christian girl accused of burning pages of the Quran was released from jail Saturday. Last week a Muslim cleric was arrested for allegedly planting evidence to incriminate her.
Anjum Naveed/AP
Rawalpindi, Pakistan
A young Christian girl accused of burning pages of Islam's holy book was freed Saturday from a jail near the capital where she had been held for three weeks, a Pakistani jail official said.
The release a day after a judge granted her bail is another step closer to ending an episode that has focused an uncomfortable spotlight on Pakistan's harsh blasphemy laws, which can result in life in prison or even death for defendants. Many critics say the laws are misused to wage vendettas or target Pakistan's vulnerable minorities like the Christians.
The jail official, Mushtaq Awan, said the girl left the prison in Rawalpindi, a garrison city near Islamabad amid tight security.
An Associated Press reporter on the scene said she was taken from the prison in an armored vehicle and whisked to a waiting helicopter while covered with a sheet to protect her identity.
A Muslim cleric from her neighborhood was arrested last week for planting evidence to incriminate the girl, an about-face in a case that has drawn strong international condemnation. Even in Pakistan where there is significant support for punishing people accused of desecrating the Quran or insulting Islam's Prophet Muhammed, the girl's age and questions about her mental state have earned her a degree of public sympathy often lacking in other blasphemy cases.
Her lawyers say they will now push to have the case against her thrown out entirely.
"Her parents were with her when she was freed from the jail, and she has been taken to a safer place," said a member of her legal team, Tahir Naveed Chaudhry.

Theories and Theories of Truth

Get AccessAbstract
Formal theories, as in logic and mathematics, are sets of sentences closed under logical consequence. Philosophical theories, like scientific theories, are often far less formal. There are many axiomatic theories of the truth predicate for certain formal languages; on analogy with these, some philosophers (most notably Paul Horwich) have proposed axiomatic theories of the property of truth. Though in many ways similar to logical theories, axiomatic theories of truth must be different in several nontrivial ways. I explore what an axiomatic theory of truth would look like. Because Horwich's is the most prominent, I examine his theory and argue that it fails as a theory of truth. Such a theory is adequate if, given a suitable base theory, every fact about truth is a consequence of the axioms of the theory. I show, using an argument analogous to Gödel's incompleteness proofs, that no axiomatic theory of truth could ever be adequate. I also argue that a certain class of generalizations cannot be consequences of the theory.

Why QUALCOMM (QCOM) Stock Closed Lower Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of QUALCOMM Inc. (QCOM - Get Report) closed down -6.65% to $76.17 on very heavy trading volume after the chipmaker said said it's struggling to collect license revenue from handset makers in China, the world's largest mobile-phone market, threatening profit growth, according to Bloomberg.
Yesterday, the company gave a quarterly earnings forecast that was below analysts' average estimate.
QUALCOMM said missed royalty payments for chips running on the new long-term evolution standard as manufacturers fail to report phone sales or refuse to sign contracts. Licensing is Qualcomm's most profitable business, Bloomberg noted.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Growth Stocks
- QCOM's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 2.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 4.0%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- QCOM's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.00 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.19, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- 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 Communications Equipment industry and the overall market, QUALCOMM INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The stock has not only risen over the past year, it has done so at a faster pace than the S&P 500, reflecting the earnings growth and other positive factors similar to those we have cited here. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- QUALCOMM INC has improved earnings per share by 7.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, QUALCOMM INC increased its bottom line by earning $3.91 versus $3.06 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.17 versus $3.91).

Man wanted in shooting captured.
POSTED: Thursday, November 19, 2009 - 8:04am
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:34am
A former soldier suspected of shooting a man in the chest and back faced a judge on Wednesday.

Garcia managed to escape from police and SWAT officers in home later Tuesday morning, but a tip lead police to a home on Georgia street where he surrender.
He is being held on a $1.5 million dollar bond.

Pavement's essential bootleg recording, 1994's Stray Slack, gathered audio from the vaunted indie rock fivesome's two night-stand at London's Brixton Academy two years earlier, months after the release of their much ballyhooed debut, Slanted and Enchanted. Live, they were all over the place: looser and tighter and noisier all at once. The recording also captured them at their shambolic best (their line-up still featured drummer, noted eccentric, and fan favorite Gary Young), just before they'd begin transitioning away from the experimental tunings and lo-fi tomfoolery of their psyched-out beginnings, toward the more polished "Cut Your Hair" fare that would land them on MTV and Lollapalooza the following year.
Avey Tare: Pavement were definitely a unifying factor in Brian and I's friendship. "Cut Your Hair" came out in 9th grade and we got that. And then summer happened and we kind of parted ways. While Brian was away he got this bootleg of early live Pavement. And right at the end of the summer was also when we started to get into doing acid. We took some acid and, at some point, put on this bootleg. And I remember it not even sounding like music. Is it English? What's going on? It just sounds like nonsense. And at the end of the bootleg there's outtakes and songs that were hard to find. And there was this song called "Greenlander" and that song came on, and I could not get it out of my head the next day. I just wanted to keep hearing it. I kept playing it over and over and over again. Just into their darker, weirder, stony, not so much alternative rock stylings….At our school, there was an open mic, and you could come at night and play a song. So Brian and I decided to cover "Greenlander" and it was pretty much the first time that we decided to play music together.
Geologist: We didn't know anything about alternate tunings. I'm sure we just picked chords that were close to what he was playing.
Panda Bear: I remember hearing "Cut Your Hair" on the radio…after a Presidents of the United States of America song.

10/10/2010 | Liz Chong
The IMF yesterday challenged the Pakistani government to show commitment to helping 20 million people who are struggling to get by in the aftermath of devastating floods
International financial institutions and the donors stand by to help Pakistan, Adnan Mazarei, director for Pakistan at the IMF, said. The extent to which they are willing and able to support the authorities depends on how well the authorities in Pakistan also take care of the Pakistani people.
Mazarei, who negotiated the IMFs $11.3 billion loan with Pakistan, said the government had to move quickly to reassure the donor community and the IMF that it was committed to transparency in the use of aid for the floods, as well as reforms that have been due for several years.
These centre on the introduction of a sales tax and the need for agreement with the World Bank and Asian Development Bank on $2 billion of subsidies for the energy sector.
Mazarei warned the Pakistanis to review their spending on things that need to be reconsidered, such as subsidies to the national airline and steel companies.
These issues have been on the plate for a couple of years and to be honest, well before the programme, Mazarei said. It is time to move forward. Action is needed quickly to move forward with reconstruction.
The IMF granted Pakistan its loan in 2008 to help the country avoid a default on its foreign debt. In July this year it missed a deadline for the introduction of the sales tax, which has little political support.
Tax currently accounts for just under 10% of GDP. The loan is due to expire at the end of this year but Mazarei said it could be extended to the extent that the Pakistani government take the measures that are needed.
In recent weeks, the World Bank, the US, Japan, the UK and the UN have pressured Pakistan to improve transparency of aid expenditure, and to raise money through taxes. Just 1% of the Pakistani population now pay taxes.
The government is also struggling with a recent challenge by the army, which was reflected in a public rebuke of President Asif Zardari by army chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
Zardari also faces pressure from the Supreme Court, which is due on 13 October to rule on a challenge to an amnesty law that some contend illegally shielded Zardari and thousands of former and current officials from corruption cases.
The Chief Justice has warned the Prime Minister over his defiance of a court order demanding that he write a letter to Swiss authorities requesting they reopen a moneylaundering case involving Zardari. Legal experts say he could be found in contempt of court.
Pakistan has had an impressive year under new premier Nawaz Sharif. But the government needs to keep up its reforming zeal to get the South Asian state's finances back on track.
Still smarting from defeat in the US Supreme Court over the bond holdouts, Argentina's economy minister Axel Kicillof insists the recession-hit country is in the right and is turning down offers of money
Jamaica is getting back on track and could become an unlikely poster child for the IMF. However, elsewhere in the Caribbean the threat of default looms and some countries are not ready to ask for help
Mexico is reaping the rewards of recent economic reforms, an upbeat Luis Vidagaray tells Emerging Markets, as he indicates that the economy can hit a 5% growth target.
It is 13 years since the IMF called for an international agreement on how to wind up defaulted sovereign debt. Still there is no mechanism, and regrettably the vulture funds pursuing Argentina still seem to hold sway in the US. It's time for change
Women's participation in the labour force still lags men's by 12% even in developed economies. In the MENA region it can be up to 50%. That is a wasted resource - and best practice examples show countries and companies that tackle the problem outperform
"Indonesia, having just seen a peaceful democratic election of a non-elitist leader, is probably going to embark on reforms that should keep growth at 5%-6% for years to come"

My picks for the best of 2014-15
July, 11, 2014
Fran Fraschilla | ESPN Insider
Christopher Hanewinckel/USA TODAY SportsPrzemek Karnowski, a 7-1 center, averaged 10.4 points and 7.1 rebounds per game last season.
My ESPN colleagues have done a nice job of putting together teams that should be superlative in areas such as offense, defense, rebounding and passing heading into the upcoming college basketball season. All had strong selections for each of the characteristics, but they're not the only correct answers.
What other programs are set to thrive in 2014-15? Let's break it all down.
Mark Few's club had its lowest offensive efficiency rating this past season since Kenpom.com starting tracking such numbers back in 2002. The Zags finished 51st in the country in OER after 12 seasons, with an average rating of 19th. But things are about to get back to normal in Spokane.
Few's backcourt of four-year starters, Gary Bell Jr. and Kevin Pangos, returns. Even better news is that the two are finally healthy. Pangos suffered through season-long ankle and turf toe issues last season, while Bell Jr. missed nearly a month with a broken right hand. Combined, these two have made 40 percent of their 3-point shots in nearly 1,000 attempts during their careers.

KXAN-TV is the NBC-affiliated television station for Austin, Texas. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 21 (PSIP virtual channel 36) from a transmitter in the West Austin Antenna Farm north of West Lake Hills. Owned by the LIN TV Corporation, the station is sister to MyNetworkTV affiliate KBVO and CW affiliate KNVA. All three share studios on West Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard between the Clarksville section of Austin and the University of Texas at Austin campus. Syndicated programming on KXAN includes: Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, The Doctors and Rachael Ray.

The station first went on-the-air on February 12, 1965 as KHFI-TV, originally broadcasting on channel 42. It was owned by the Kingsbury family along with KHFI radio (AM 970, now KOKE-FM at 99.3 FM; and 98.3 FM, now at 96.7). KHFI was the second television station in Austin, signing on a little more than twelve years after KTBC-TV (channel 7).
It logically should have signed-on as Austin's NBC station, since up to that time all three networks had been shoehorned on KTBC, a primary CBS affiliate. However, due to contractual obligations, it spent more than a year and a half as an independent before joining NBC in 1966. Unlike most affiliates with the network in then two-station markets, KHFI did not take on a secondary ABC affiliation. The Kingsburys would later bring in Henry Tippie as a partner, and in 1973 were granted FCC permission to move KHFI-TV to channel 36.
With the channel change came a new set of call letters, KTVV. Also, the station boosted its broadcast power to five million watts, which more than doubled its coverage area. What was then known as LIN Broadcasting purchased the station in 1979. The new owners changed the call sign to the current KXAN-TV in 1987. Even with the increased power, channel 36's signal was marginal in some parts of the Hill Country such as Fredericksburg. UHF signals usually do not travel very far in rugged terrain. In 1991, LIN signed-on KLNO in Llano to improve KXAN's reach in the Hill Country. Even with the power boost, channel 36's signal is marginal at best in much of the Hill Country. It changed its calls to KXAM-TV after about a month on-air and to the current KBVO in 2009. This call sign, named after the University of Texas' mascot "Bevo", was formerly used on the new channel 42 which is now KEYE-TV and is shared with sister station KBVO-CD.
KXAN is one of two stations in Austin (the other being KVUE-TV) to retain its original network affiliation in the wake of a network swap between KTBC and Fox station KBVO (now KEYE-TV, channel 42) in 1995. On October 21, 2009, KBVO became a separate station after picking up MyNetworkTV from KNVA. That station carried the network as a secondary affiliate, known on-air as "MyNetworkTV on The CW Austin", from its launch on September 5, 2006. Programming from MyNetworkTV aired on KNVA Monday through Saturday nights from 9 to 11. In mid-September 2009, that station moved the network to a 10 to midnight slot to make room for a nightly 9 o'clock newscast to compete with Fox affiliate KTBC.[1] To date, KNVA was one of two stations in the United States to carry The CW and MyNetworkTV (the other being KWKB in Iowa City, Iowa, which is now the only station which carries the full schedules of both netlets/programming services).[2]
KXAN's current tower built in 1996, replaced an older one that dated to 1964. Of the fifteen towers on the hill, theirs is the tallest and the highest structure in Austin. In addition to its transmission antenna, the mast also incorporates a camera with views of downtown to the east and the hills to the west. KXAN is the Austin broadcast television home of the San Antonio Spurs sharing coverage with sister station KBVO.
After the analog television shutdown and digital conversion on June 12, 2009,[3][4] KXAN's digital signal remained on its current pre-transition channel 21.[5] However, through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers will display the virtual channel as 36.1.
KXAN and LIN TV were locked into a contract dispute with Suddenlink Communications which serves portions of the Austin designated market area such as Pflugerville and Georgetown. The dispute centered around KXAN's failure to grant retransmission consent to Suddenlink. The previous contract expired on December 31, 2007 and the station was removed from the Suddenlink lineup. KXAN claimed that it was seeking "fair value" for its programming. However, a press release from Suddenlink management indicated that the dispute included consideration for other stations owned by LIN TV outside of Texas.[6]
Beginning on January 3, 2008, Suddenlink began transmitting the signal of Temple-based NBC affiliate KCEN-TV to restore the network's programming to the areas affected. This is allowed under FCC rules because KCEN is a "significantly viewed" station in Williamson County even though that county is located in the Austin market. On March 24, the dispute was settled between Suddenlink and KXAN and its programming was restored to Suddenlink viewers the following day. The terms of the settlement were not announced though it is widely believed that KXAN had lost thousands of viewers. Despite its cable carriage problems, the station surprised many observers by placing first in the 5 to 7 weekday morning time period during the May 2008 sweeps period.[7]
KXAN-TV and LIN TV were locked in another contract dispute with Time Warner Cable which serves a very large majority of the Austin metropolitan area. LIN TV ceased transmissions on Time Warner Cable systems nationwide at Midnight Central Daylight Time on October 3, 2008.[8] Free over-the-air stations such as KXAN have long allowed cable companies to carry their signal for free. Cable networks are paid as much as ten cents per day per customer for their content and LIN TV wanted Time Warner to pay them less than one cent per cable customer per day. The general manager for KXAN Eric Lassberg stated that the cable company "does not have to pass that cost along to the viewers unless they want to".[9] On October 3, Time Warner replaced KXAN with a continuous loop of instructions on how to hook up a television to a computer on Time Warner Cable.[10] Some days later this was replaced by the digital tier movie channel Starz Kids and Family. In the early morning hours of October 29, KXAN returned to the Time Warner lineup. At present no details have been released on the deal though some have pointed out to speculate that KXAN could not afford to be without over 67% of their previous viewers during the critical November ratings period.[11]
For most of its first thirty years on-the-air, KXAN was a distant runner-up to KTBC. Despite efforts to produce a newscast of major market quality (early newscasts deliberately copied the look of WNBC in New York City), it was usually unable to make a dent in KTBC's dominance. Another setback was as a UHF station, KTVV/KXAN had a hard time maintaining a local share as an NBC affiliate due to nearby NBC affiliates in the nearby San Antonio and Temple/Waco markets. However, after KTBC switched to Fox in 1995, KXAN's ratings slowly picked up. By the latter part of the 1990s, channel 36 had overtaken channel 7 for the lead. Since then, it has regularly traded the top spot in the market with KVUE.
On December 23, 2008, KXAN became the third station in Austin to broadcast their local news in high definition starting with the weekday noon newscast. On September 28, 2009, the station began producing a nightly 9 o'clock broadcast on KNVA known as KXAN News at 9 to compete with KTBC.[12]
