Under the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997 Congress placed an annual cap on rehabilitation services under Medicare. Since enacting the BBA, Congress has recognized the cap's potential harmful effect on Medicare beneficiaries and has acted several times to prevent implementation of a hard cap.
Representatives Charles Boustany (R-LA), Xavier Becerra (D-CA), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Lois Capps (D-CA), and Senators Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Susan Collins (R-ME) introduced the Medicare Access to Rehabilitation Services Act (H.R. 775/S. 539) in the 114th Congress. H.R. 775 and S. 539 would permanently repeal the $1,940 therapy "cap" imposed on physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services. An arbitrary cap on outpatient therapy services without regard to clinical appropriateness of care discriminates against the most vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries. APTA believes that a full repeal of the therapy cap is necessary to ensure patients have access to timely and appropriate care.
There is a two-tiered exceptions process, an automatic exceptions process and a manual medical review exceptions process. The automatic exceptions process applies when patients reach the $1,940 threshold and the manual medical review exceptions process is required at the $3,700 threshold.
Congress is working on a long term solution to address the flawed Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula in order to prevent a 21% cut in Medicare provider payments. The therapy cap has historically been tied to extension of the therapy cap and we believe any package to repeal the SGR should include a full repeal of the Medicare therapy cap, rather than just an extension of the current policy. Although APTA supports passage of necessary SGR reform, it is essential to include a permanent repeal of the therapy cap in final legislation; without doing so is a missed opportunity for a long-term solution and puts beneficiaries in a dire situation when this extension expires. Without SGR as a legislative vehicle in future years, necessary therapy for beneficiaries who need it most will be threatened.
Congress has until March 31 to take action on both the SGR and therapy cap. NOW is a critical time to take action to ensure full repeal of the therapy cap is included in the final policy. APTA remains engaged on Capitol Hill and will update resources as new information is made available.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
20 Jul 2014 16:47 GMT | War & Conflict, Middle East, Israeli–Palestinian conflict, Gaza, Israel
Thirteen Israeli soldiers have been killed in fighting inside Gaza on Sunday, the Israeli army has said, in what was the highest number of troops to die in combat since 2006.
"Over the course of the day, 13 soldiers from the IDF's Golani Brigade were killed in combat in the Gaza Strip," an army statement said.
The deaths occurred as more than 60 Palestinians died in Gaza's Shujayea district under the heaviest barrage of tank shells since Israel launched its ground offensive.
The reports of the Palestinian deaths came as a two-hour humanitarian ceasefire broke down less than an hour after it was announced on Sunday.
Thousands of people fled the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip as heavy bombardment by the Israeli army continued overnight, with the Palestinian death toll over the last 13 days reaching 410.
The eastern neighbourhoods of Shujayea, al-Shaaf and al-Tuffa were the worst hit. Bodies littered the streets.
In the early afternoon, Israel agreed to observe a two-hour humanitarian ceasefire in Shujayea to allow the evacuation of wounded, but it was broken less than an hour after it was announced.
Live Box 20147813544572927ac
Israel's military said it resumed combat operations shortly after its forces were shot at shortly after the two-hour truce facilitated by the Red Cross took effect at 1.30pm local time.
Hamas, the Palestinian group, said earlier it would abide by a temporary truce.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbass described Israel's actions as "a massacre" and declared three days of mourning.
Al Jazeera's Stefanie Dekker witnessed desperate civilians making their way into Gaza City in the morning.
"While driving into the bureau, we were met by hundreds of people on foot carrying their children, carrying plastic bags filled with whatever belongings they could take with them," she said.
"They couldn't leave during the night."
Dozens of bodies were brought to hospitals from Shujayea on Sunday morning, and more were expected to arrive after ambulances could access the neighbourhoods.
Those killed included senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya's son Osama, his wife Hala and their two children.
A Shujayea resident who reached a hospital told Al Jazeera: "It is a massacre taking place in Shujayea. It is a massacre with the full sense of the word, committed by Israel against innocent civilians, there are no armed men among us, the streets of Shujayea are packed with dead bodies."
Israel says it launched its offensive in response to rockets fired from Gaza, and that it is targeting military installations of Hamas and other armed groups. However, the vast majority of those killed and injured are Palestinian civilians, many of them children.
Israel announced on Saturday that four of its soldiers were killed in combat with Palestinian fighters, bringing the total death toll on the Israeli side to seven.
'Heavy psychological impact'
Waleed, a resident of Gaza's eastern al-Shaaf area, told Al Jazeera that he was terrified and stuck with his family of 18 members in a single room and had nowhere to go while Israeli shelling continued through the night.
"We can hear shells and rockets fall on our streets and homes. They're falling everywhere," he said.
"We have no electricity, everything has been cut off. The Red Cross can't reach the area - it's too dangerous. People are stuck at home. All we hear is shelling."
Live Box 201452113719645289
Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor working at Gaza's al-Shifa hospital, told Al Jazeera that most of the casualties brought there were civilians who suffered shrapnel injuries and amputations.
"It's very disturbing to see the large number of civilians, particularly the children. What is remarkable with the Palestinians in Gaza is the resilience. They don't give up, they stand tall. I'm amazed to see the calm and coherence in the community and in the hospital among the [hospital] staff.
"What [Palestinians] are [saying] is that how can the world accept the Israelis targeting civilians in an area which is completely shut off? There are no shelters, no early warning systems, no sirens. The population is basically completely naked to the enormously strong Israeli military machine."

Everybody has a favorite comfort food...what's yours?
For months it's been rumored, now it's confirmed: Rian Johnson, the writer and director of Brick and Looper is officially the writer and director of Star Wars: Episode VIII. Disney CEO Robert Iger also revealed to company shareholders today that Episode VIII has its official release date: May 26, 2017 — 40 years and a single day after the release of the very first Star Wars back in 1977.
Star Wars details have always been difficult to come by, but they've proven even more difficult with the upcoming spinoff. Other than confirmation that Gareth Edwards (Godzilla) will direct, we know very little about the film. Well, now we at least know what it will be called. Disney and Lucasfilm today confirmed that the first ever Star Wars spinoff will be officially called Rogue One.

As the subject line states, I have no central theme for today's post. Just different items. First up, I've added one more appearance to my 2015 schedule. I will now be attending the Romance Writers of America (RWA) convention in New York, NY from July 22nd through July 25th, at the New York Marriott Marquis. I don't have a specific schedule yet, but once I do, I'll post it. Right now, all I know is that I'll be at the mass signing (open to the public) on July 22nd. If you're attending RWA, hope to see you there.
Yesterday, I found out that my youngest dog, Loki, will need to get double-knee surgery on his hind legs to repair his knees. How does a dog who's just turning 3 end up with bad knees, you wonder? Apparently it's a birth defect where the "grooves" that are supposed to hold his knee caps in place are smooth instead of grooved, so his kneecaps have a tendency to slip out of their socket. I feel guilty because we had no idea that there was a problem until a few days ago, when we saw Loki periodically hold up his back right leg when he walked. On the plus side, Loki is so young that his runaway kneecaps haven't caused any arthritis or tendon shredding, so there's no permanent damage. I, as a worried dog mommy, will be a bundle of nerves as we await confirmation from a specialist and then go about scheduling the first of his two surgeries. Poor little guy, he has no idea that he has some rough roads ahead until this can get fixed. Here he is in January, guarding the stuffing from the toy he'd just de-fluffed.
In totally random news, I need to get a new, "official" author photo. The one I had been using was from 2011, when my hair was longer and I'd gone with blond highlights. Now, my hair is shorter and auburn, as evidenced from the photo to the left from last month, when my sister and I dressed up in our Greek-themed costumes for ApollyCon. I think I'll stick with shorter and auburn for a while, or until I grow bored, whichever comes first. I've bounced back and forth between light brown (my natural color), red, auburn and blondish for the past twenty years and I see no reason to stop now. I might be too chicken by the permanence of a tattoo to get one of those, but I can play with my hair color when I want to change things up a bit. The only color I haven't tried is black. I'm so pale, people would think I was going for a goth look to match my vampire novels, and I already get that from all the black clothes I wear when in reality, that's just laziness. Black goes with everything, so that's why it's a main staple in my wardrobe.
Finally, if you didn't see my post last week, I announced that the next character in my vampire series to get his own novel with be Ian. I also opened the floor to guessing who the heroine would be. If you more details, including hints as to the heroine's identity, then go here.
That's it for me :). Hope you're having a nice weekend, and hope you have good week next week!

The Bears controlled running back Adrian Peterson in last Sundays 28-10 handling of the Minnesota Vikings. The NFL just didnt approve of the way they did it sometimes.
The guys' point totals are moving up, but Mark remains our leader after Week 12. With bye weeks over, you now have a full array of players to use each week.
Whether the Bears indeed are on a right track offensively with the preponderance of their offense running through Brandon Marshall will be a topic until its proven to be a winning formula.
One of the changes brought to the offense with the installation of Mike Tice as coordinator was the license for quarterback Jay Cutler to audible.
It means nothing official but running back Matt Forte breezed through the Bears locker room early Wednesday, on a break from a workout to get something from his locker but neither limping nor weari

I just LOVE the Holidays! Especially Christmas, you just can't help but be in a good mood when you hear Christmas music or when you see the houses all lit up. OH and the presents are ALWAYS a plus! Now, when I think Christmas presents, I think electronics, books, gift cards, clothes..yada yada yada.....what I DON'T think about.......is a summer sausage. Now, why am I talking about a summer sausage you ask? Because it was the weirdest gift I have ever received. I DID open underwear and bras a few years ago....but that was no where near as bad as opening a summer sausage. First off, what in the world will I do with it, cuz I sure won't eat it. Should I put it on display as a piece of beautiful art and call it "The Motionless Meatstick?" I could always re-gift.....OR WAIT!! I KNOW!! I'll use it as a weapon! I just recently ran out of my pepper spray so...I'm telling you, it would do some damage. Can you imagine being knocked out by a meatstick?? HAHAHA!! So as you continue to get gifts for your friends and family this Christmas, remember, no meatsticks =) Happy Holidays!

The transfer function for a PI controller is:
For a step change in error equal to (10F) u(t):
At time zero, p(t) changes from (ps) to (ps+10Kc) and the data given for the pressure at time= 0- and 0+ imply
ps=10 psig
Note the gain is negative. This situation could correspond to an air-to-open cooling water control valve. As the pressure decreases, the valve closes, and less cooling water enters, raising the process temperature.
For t>0, the pressure should change linearly with slope 10Kc / τI. The experimental data indicate the slope is 1 psig/20 sec=0.05 psig/sec. Therefore

Warriors secure Verbakel signature
ESPNscrum Staff
September 7, 2011
Verbakel will bring a physical presence to the Warriors' pack © Getty Images
Glasgow have bolstered their second-row engine room with the signing of Otago lock Rob Verbakel.
The 24-year-old possesses a Dutch passport and due to the fact that the ITM Cup season is now complete, he will arrive in Glasgow next week. Warriors head coach Sean Lineen is delighted with his capture and believes Verbakel is set to make a substantial contribution to the RaboDirect PRO12 side's pack.
"I'm very pleased to have Rob signed up, both because he's a player who will bring a number of very positive aspects to the group and because of the timing," Lineen said. "We're delighted to have given so many players to the Scotland squad, but it's also good to have a bit more depth in our squad and I'm looking forward to seeing Rob challenge the likes of Tom Ryder, Rob Harley, James Eddie and Nick Campbell for a place in the second row.
"He's a powerful kind of lock, whose basics in the set-piece are very strong and who likes to carry the ball. I'm very confident he will be an asset to the group in what is a vital stage of our season."
And Verbakel is adamant that he will not be feeling the fatigue of a long season in New Zealand. He said: "It's a fantastic opportunity for me to be coming to a side who play in two of the best club competitions in the northern hemisphere, the RaboDirect PRO12 and Heineken Cup.
"I was thrilled to get the call, and it wasn't something I needed to think particularly long about. I know I'll be arriving with the season already underway, but I feel like I'll be showing up battle-hardened after my involvement with Otago and my aim will be to hit the ground running with the Warriors."

Love it!
I've had this table for 4 years now and it still looks as great as it did when I first purchased it!Read More
Excellent quality and finish
This is the second such piece I've bought and I'm glad I bought from overstock.com. The shipping and packaging was excellent with no chance of damage in transit. I'd buy this again if needed with no hesitation.Read More
Pretty close
nice reproduction of the original. We will purchase this product again.Read More
A little wobbly
This table has all the looks - very stylish, but for the price, it just isn't sturdy enough. I had to put levelers on the bottom of the table to make sure it was sturdy enough for people in our office reception area to use. Looks great, but for the $, it should be a lot less wobbly.Read More
Great Table
It was easy to put together and the style looks great!Read More
Beautiful, afforable, unstable
This table is exactly what I was looking for aesthetically. And it has no flaws. But overall it's not very stable. The top shimmys a little bit in the rod for the height adjustment and the rod rotates to the sides. It's not in danger of falling over or down, but when you touch the table to put a glass or something on it, it definitely moves and sways (the top, not the base). Again, not a deal breaker, but I was kind of going out on a limb getting a glass table with a big dog, a baby and a toddler in the house and the fact that it moves when touched isn't a good thing. Would I buy again? Not sure. Good price for modern design, but doesn't suit my needs as well as I hoped.Read More
clean lines, low visual footprint
I was looking for a relatively inexpensive c table or something similar to put over the edge of the chaise end of my sectional. As mentioned by other reviewers, it isn't the sturdiest table you could buy (but it IS a glass topped table, so really, I wasn't ever going to use it to climb upon or anything) but for the price, I'm happy. It's stylish and cute, without being feminine, and in fact, I just saw one (probably a real Eileen Gray, it didn't have any wobble issues, lol) on my last trip to Vegas in my suite at the Monte Carlo Hotel 32.Read More
Nice Table
Very sleek, modern and useful table. Since it adjusts you can lift it up to where you need it. I've had this table for almost 2 years now and the chrome finish still looks good even though it's at a beach resort in the salt air and hasn't shown any signs of pitting or rusting. I do keep the chrome wiped clean, but it does reside in a vacation house so I'm not there all the time to keep after it and it still looks good.Read More
Good version of the original...
I have looked for an affordable version of the Eileen Gray E-1027 and this fit the bill. The price is excellent. and it is a beautiful addition to any space. Be aware, that the quality of this piece is nowhere near the original but is still descent. The top does shift easily due to the lack of a gasket within the glass where the rod penetrates but it does not effect the overall functionality of the table. I have fixed that on my own by adding a piece of clear plastic.Read More
Love it!
If you like 50's-style Bachelor Pad contemporary, this item is for you. We have it paired with a new cream-colored leather sofa and it looks super. Appears to be well made for a knock-off, and took us about 10mins to assemble. No instructions, and getting the glass top around the metal support and onto the top is a bit tricky, but if you're careful it comes out fine. Looks great and the height adjustability is good. A great value.Read More

Even more basic than the style of end table is its shape, so consider how it will fit into your room. End tables can be square, rectangular, round or oval. Some end tables even nest together. One shape of end table might look best next to a recliner, while another might be perfect next to a sectional sofa. Look carefully at the room in which you will be placing the end tables.

Coffee Table Fact Sheet
Coffee tables aren't limited to holding coffee cups and oversize books. A popular piece of furniture, the coffee table may be in the living room, den or recreation room, or on the patio: anywhere people using a sofa and chairs may gather and require space to place a beverage or plate. They may hold game boards for spirited competitions or the pieces for a jigsaw puzzle. A coffee table can be a focal point or a demure accessory. This coffee table fact sheet should help you learn more about this versatile piece of furniture.
Best Sunroom Furnishing Ideas
Sunrooms are often some of the most popular areas of any home. Large windows and garden views make sunrooms feel like outdoor retreats while still providing the cover and warmth of indoor rooms. Because sunrooms are connected more to the outdoors than any other room in your home, pick design elements and furniture that work with that theme. Below, you'll find some of the best sunroom furnishing ideas. Seating: One of the most important parts of a sunroom is the seating arrangement. Since you'll likely want to spend many warm nights and bright days in your sunroom, you'll need adequate seating. Sunrooms typically feature either wood furniture or wrought iron seating. When deciding what's right for you, consider the overall look of the room as well as the intended comfort level. Wooden furniture with thick cushions is warmer and more comfortable than metal. A wicker sectional sofa with comfortable cushions will work well with the design of a sunroom. Alternatively, wrought iron benches and chairs give a modern look and feel to a room. Mismatched plush armchairs are a great way to bring both comfort and casual elegance to a sunroom. Tables: When picking out tables for your sunroom, consider how you're going to use the area. Choose a low table that can act as a coffee table for guests to set down their drinks. Tables with glass inserts match sunrooms well because of surrounding glass windows. Sunrooms are a popular place to go during parties and family get-togethers, so consider adding a small dining table and chairs to the room for meals. Design elements: Although sunrooms are indoors, they tie in the nature and wonder of the outdoors. Choose design elements that bring both sun and nature into the room. Wicker planters can hold plants of your choice. Place planters on side tables and on the floor next to entrances to give an inviting impression as guests enter the room. Artwork can change a bland sunroom into something charming and interesting. Look for paintings and sculptures that incorporate colors and themes from the surrounding decor.

Best Additional Features for Coffee Tables
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.
Best Tables for Your Living Room
Taking the time to decide on the right kind of tables for your living room is time well spent. The right kinds of living room tables will enhance the appearance of your home, while the wrong kinds will detract from its decor. Trendy and stylish end tables create visual interest in your living room. Their versatile nature means that you can leave them bare or add charming accent pieces. Choosing the right coffee, sofa and end tables for your living room is a very important choice. Keep reading for more information on the best tables for your living room.
Tips on Choosing a Sofa Table
Do you need to add function to your living room? Sofa tables can be placed between the sofa and the wall, where they provide a surface for lamps, books, or other objects. They also allow air flow from a radiator or heater vent that may be behind the sofa. This isn't the only way you can use these versatile living room tables. To pick the best sofa table for your space, follow these tips.
How to Accessorize an Ottoman
Ottomans serve multiple purposes in home decor. Some people use them as footstools, pairing them with armchairs, loveseats or couches. Others invest in storage ottomans with removable tops or trays beneath. In some homes, ottomans may serve as coffee tables, cocktail tables or end tables. Accessorize your ottoman to increase its functionality as well as its style. Below, you'll learn how to accessorize an ottoman.
Necessary Living Room Furniture - Sofas
Take a good look at your living room furniture. Sofas and loveseats are a staple when it comes to the way your living room looks. Pair your sofa with a loveseat or ottoman, and your living room is well on its way to looking its best. Although most people own living room furniture like ottomans and end tables, few realize what an impact their sofa can have on a living room. Sofas and other accompanying furniture can either tie a living room theme together or break it. Keep reading for more information about sofas.

MINSK, Belarus - Team Canada is in the driver's seat of its group at the world hockey championship after beating Sweden 3-2 in overtime.
Ryan Ellis scored the winner to put the Canadians there, atop Group A with one game left in the preliminary round. Now, a regulation victory over Norway on Tuesday would clinch the top seed and no chance of facing powerhouse Russia until the final.
"We put ourselves behind the 8-ball (by losing to France), but moving forward I think we're obviously in pretty good shape," Ellis said Sunday at Chizhovka-Arena. "We like where we sit. Obviously the last game here's really important and (we want to) finish as high as we can."
A regulation loss to Sweden would have guaranteed Canada second place in the group and a potential semifinal showdown with Alex Ovechkin, Sergei Bobrovsky and Russia, which won has its first five games and outscored Group B opponents 26-6 in the process.
It was — and remains — a two-horse race on Canada's side because Sweden hadn't lost a game until Ellis scored 2:22 into overtime after a patient play and pass by Mark Scheifele. The teams are tied with 15 points, but Canada now controls its path because of an almost-insurmountable goal-differential lead (plus-14 to plus-7).
But that's only possible because Canada came out on top of Sweden in an even game.
"I think there was lots of chances both ways," coach Dave Tippett said. "Lots of mistakes made by both teams. From a coaching standpoint, you look at the tape, there'll be a lot of errors, but (those are) what leads to an entertaining game."
Swedish coach Par Marts was "quite satisfied" with his team's performance in spite of the loss. Tippett said the difference was Canada capitalizing on a quality chance in overtime.
Ellis took care of that.
"It's anyone's game in overtime and obviously it came down to one bounce and for us it was fortunate to get the bounce," the Nashville Predators defenceman said. "The patience on Scheifele for such a young guy was unbelievable. He just put it right on my tape, and I just had to touch it."
After falling behind 2-0 on goals by Joakim Lindstrom and Linus Klasen, Canada tied it thanks to goals from Brayden Schenn and captain Kevin Bieksa. A total of 11 minor penalties were called in regulation, helping to make this a game played more in either end than through the neutral zone.
Bieksa said he and his teammates expected that going in after watching how penalties were called in Sweden's game against the Czech Republic. But that still took some adjusting for Ellis and this group of NHLers.
"When you play in the playoffs in the NHL and stuff like that, you usually get two or three power plays a game and you really have to make the most of that," Ellis said. "At times here it's more of a special-teams battle. Going forward I think we need to improve both sides of our special teams."
Canada killed off all five Swedish power plays, extending its penalty-killing streak to 16 in a row over the past three games. But this wasn't Denmark and it wasn't Italy, which is why it was a good barometer with the quarter-final round looming Thursday.
"Structurally I thought we were a little better, but we lost some one-on-one battles that led to some chances against," Tippett said. "Those are areas where you can look at and clean up, but we continue to build our game how we want to play and the pace we want to play at, and certainly today's game was a big test for us."
Canada passed the test in part because of the strong penalty kill, Bieksa's power-play goal and also the play of goaltender Ben Scrivens, who stopped 30 of the 32 shots he faced including a big one in overtime on Gustav Nyquist.
Scrivens and James Reimer have appeared so even in net that it's not obvious which goalie will start against Norway and presumptively be the starter moving forward. Tippett deferred that decision until Monday when he gets the chance to meet with his staff.
But in beating Sweden to stay undefeated at this tournament, Scrivens has made it a battle.
"I think both Reims and me have given the team a chance to win each time we've played," he said. "Hopefully we've made it difficult on the coaches who they want to go with. That's all we can do is make their life difficult to choose which guy's going to give us the best chance."
For Canada to have the best chance of moving beyond the quarter-finals, where it could face the United States, Latvia, Finland, Switzerland, host Belarus or even Germany, it'll likely take some replication of Sunday's effort — maybe without the bevy of penalties.
Scrivens said each game so far has presented unique challenges, but Sweden was by far the strongest opponent yet.
Said Ellis: "It kind of shows us what the rest of the tournament's going to be about and if we're going to go any further how we're going to have to play."
NOTES — Jonathan Huberdeau was stopped by Nilsson on a first-period penalty shot. Huberdeau tried Peter Forsberg's famous "stamp" move from the 1994 Olympics against Canada and had Nilsson beat until he got his glove on the Canadian forward's stick at the last second. Nilsson, who made 28 saves, said he has seen Forsberg's move plenty of times in his life and called it "sick" and hard for goalies to stop. ... Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko was in attendance for his first game of the tournament at Chizhokva-Arena, the secondary site to Minsk Arena. In anticipation of his arrival, there was a higher volume of uniformed and plain-clothed security personnel than usual. ... Alex Burrows did not play for Canada two days after suffering a leg injury from a knee-on-knee hit against Italy. Tippett said he was hopeful Burrows would skate Monday and be ready for Tuesday's game against Norway.

She is a very positive and committed player who is well respected by her peers. Ashleigh works hard to improve her understanding of the game and give us a hundred percent at all times."
Coach Joshua Miller said "Ickes is one of those players that will add a lot on and off the field for our team. She always shows a lot of heart and determination and that is something we are looking for. We are excited to welcome Ashleigh and her family into the KCU Soccer family."

iPhone wars: Sony hearts Android; MSFT Zune in European call
Apple's leader Steve Jobs has often conceded his respect for Sony, but scored a home run around the Japanese consumer electronics company when he introduced the iPod, after which the rest is now history. Now Sony plans a fightback, running to the cold embrace of Google's Android for a future iPhone competitor (probably).

Sony planning iPhone and iPad killas: PSPhone and PSPads coming?
With Sony's recent offerings (PSP Go sales 50% under estimates) being somewhat below par, it is hard to get excited about anything coming down their pipe. That, however, didn't stop the Wall St. Journal from talking about their recent Sony leaks:
Threatened by Apple Inc.'s growing stable of portable devices, Sony Corp. is developing a new lineup of handheld products, including a smart phone capable of downloading and playing PlayStation games, according to people familiar with the matter. The Japanese electronics giant also has a project under way to develop a portable device that blurs distinctions among a netbook, an e-reader and a PlayStation Portable, or PSP. The device is designed to compete against multifunction products such as Apple's coming iPad tablet, these people said.
The new devices would take advantage of a new Sony online media platform, temporarily named Sony Online Service. One of the bigger questions is will they run on the PSPoS or Android or something else?http://s.wsj.net/media/swf/microPlayer.swf

Second Update: Michael Jackson, 'This Is It': Sony spurns iTunes, Amazon scoops exclusive – or does it?
Sony Music has spurned the world's biggest music retailer, denying iTunes the right to distribute its recently-released posthumously-released Michael Jackson cash-grab-cum-album, This Is It. Or has it?
iTunes won't be offering the album, a report this morning claimed – and it's that now age-old argument over denying consumers rights to cherry-pick the best tracks that is to blame. However, that report has since been refuted by a senior Sony source.
Nokia, Samsung, Sony, others set mobile to HDTV interconnect standards
Looks like interconnection development is the new black, with earlier reports on Intel's LightSpeed technology designed to connect everything to everything else now followed by the creation of a cross-industry group to create a unified interconnect to output multimedia content from a phone to a TV.
Apple's already ahead on this, at least in some respects, as devices and docks already exist to take video and other media from an iPhone or iPod to a TV set, but any movements that aim to make life a little simpler should be welcomed.
Nokia, Samsung, Silicon Image, Sony and Toshiba have announced the formation of the Mobile High-Definition Interface Working Group. The group aims to create an industry standard a/v interface to connect mobile phones or portable consumer electronics devices directly to high-definition televisions (HDTVs) and displays.
This is likely to be based on Silicon Image's Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) technology, and will be promoted and marketed as a standard.
Sony Ericsson takes on Apple App Store, offers fast apps approval system
Sony Ericsson is touring the world's developers to rustle up support for application-building for its devices, and is promising to beat Apple in the creation of a short and transparent Apps approval process.
The company's head of developer and partner engagement, Christopher David, has promised to create a special approval system for what he terms "tier one" developers. This free scheme promises to get freshly-made apps to market fast, most crucially promising to vet newly-submitted apps "within five days".
And while Apple offers an App for everything, Sony Ericsson hopes to offer a more moderate experience, he said, "We're not looking for dozens of Sudoko games, but for apps that enhance the Sony Ericsson mobile experience."
The company opened up its app marketplace to developers during summer, the store's now available in 69 countries.

LOOKING for: soy beans
ElsMaMaJune 1, 2002
I've recently started shopping at a new grocery store that has a wider variety of vegetarian products than the one I was shopping. I noticed that they sell soy beans (frozen) and was wondering if anyone has any recipes using these?
I grew them in my garden for a couuple of years and I love soybeans, especially the green ones. I learned that the shells are much easier to remove if they are imersed in very hot water for a couple of minutes. I always just cooked them and served them with butter, salt, and pepper. However, since I have had thyroid surgery and am on thyroid medication, I have to limit my eating soy products. I still get them when I see them which isn't often. Judith

err "doddle" :)
I can assure you the author is not in cahoots with the Kremlin. Figuring that out is a "doodle" :)
check edwardlucas.com
I don't know why you write: "... that Latvia was "occupied" in the Soviet era". Why the inverted commas? If you doubt whether Stalin's Red Amy occupied the Baltic States (pursuant to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact), then perhaps you should study the press of the day and read some pertinent history books - not the Russian variety, however. Putin's regime has gone to some lengths to rehabilitate Stalin and to resurrect the doctored Soviet version of history, especially in Eastern Europe.
The "Harmony Centre" in Latvia is considerably more chauvinistic than the average Russian in Russia. The speculation that they could form a coalition with "Unity" is wishful thinking. Their main aim is to turn back the clock and return things to the way they were under Soviet occupation (I use the term advisedly), with Russians calling the shots and Latvians occupying a subservient position.
And finally -- "doddle"? I had to turn to my dictionary for that one. Perhaps I should watch "Coronation Street" more.
Dombrovskis lied all the time in election campaign that the closest allies are newly created National block. And I don't understand how some people from SCP can dictate who will be in coalition and who will not. SCP without Unity would not be elected in Saeima...
It's quite lovely to see such naivety. It really is. Too bad it doesn't make any of your claims true.
Iesalnieks owns and manages an online discussion board called zemessargs.lv. It is widely known that several truly ultra-nationalist personalities (Šiškins, the leader of the fascist Pērkonkrusts; Gedroics, a fascist political activist) have been banned from the forum for inciting hatred.
He made a post about 18 months ago, stating that every post containing anti-semitic messages will be deleted with an exception of messages containing the so called intellectual anti-semitism (e.g argumented claims regarding a possible Israeli lobby in the US). And, no it wasn't a tweet.
This had absolutely nothing to do with his personal political views apart from his stance on the borders of free-speech.
In other words, you're recycling and spreading the lies made by SCP.
As you obviously are capable of doing a little search on the internet, why don't you go and check all the facts on your own instead of blindly believing everything what's said on the telly?
As for the picture you posted, it really does look ridiculous. Then again, it was made about 10 years ago when Dzintars was still an adolescent kid and it doesn't really support any of the claims of chauvinism or gay-bashing. Unless you can tell that from ridiculous arm bands.
Also - I'm not a member of any political party.
This is so funny, because commentator vbyuer is from All For Latvia! He states it clearly e.g. in his youtube channel.
And he is simply lying about All For Latvia!
Recent feat was twitter post form one of All For Latvia! members Jānis Iesalnieks, which was about "rational anti-semitism".
These pictures depict one of the leaers of All For Latvia! - Raivis Dzintars (in black sunglasses) some years ago: http://foto.inbox.lv/paradniex/visulatvijai/
Sure, it's only a smear campaign.
Sorry, but I'll have to repeat myself. The article once again is very superficial.
First of all, it is quite clear that Dombrovskis has very little authority in his own party. The Unity bloc is divided and was about to crumble during the coalition talks.
Several members of the nationalist Civic Union threatened to quit the Unity bloc's parliamentary group when other parties of the Unity bloc seriously considered to invite Harmony Centre as a full fledged member of the next government.
The social democratic (yes, indeed, nationalists and social democrats are in the same party bloc) SCP in turn repeated the feat of the Civic Union when All For Latvia! was about to enter the government. There really was no reasoning behind that apart from showing a friendly gesture to the pro-Russian Harmony Centre.
Why flirt with Harmony Centre when roughly only 15% of ethnic Latvians would like to see them in the Cabinet? Obviously, the government won't last very long. If Unity (or what's left of it by 2011-12 anyway) wants to stay in power, they'll simply have to cooperate with HC, there are no other options.
As for All For Latvia!, there has been no gay-bashing or any signs of chauvinism. It largely was a smear campaign carried out by parts of the Unity bloc in order to rationalize their exclusion from the government to the public, which was quite sympathetic of the newly elected party (even after the smear campaign only 50% of the electorate supported the exclusion of AFL!).
From the very beginning was clear that the primarily model
of coalition which to consist from 4 parties is not realistic and
mainly not only because the co-operation between Harmony Centre
and VL is more then complicated but because there is no enough
'portfolio' and fat job in the government for everybody . Unity has
managed to make this trick and have got what they wanted but the
opinion of many people in Latvia is that the stability of coalition which has 55% only will not permit to keep the government afloat for a long time.
