Senate OKs modest restrictions on filibusters
Thursday - 1/24/2013, 10:49pm EST
By ALAN FRAM
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The tradition-laden Senate voted Thursday to modestly curb filibusters, using a bipartisan consensus rare in today's hyper-partisan climate to make it a bit harder but not impossible for outnumbered senators to sink bills and nominations.
The rules changes would reduce yet not eliminate the number of times opponents _ usually minority-party Republicans these days _ can use filibusters, procedural tactics which can derail legislation and which can be stopped only by the votes of 60 of the 100 senators.
In return, the majority party _ Democrats today _ would have to allow two minority amendments on bills, a response to Republican complaints that Democrats often prevent them from offering any amendments at all. The new procedures also would limit the time spent debating some bills and nominations, allowing some to be completed in hours that could otherwise take a day or more.
The changes were broken into two pieces and approved by votes of 78-16 and 86-9. In both roll calls, Republican opponents were joined by Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who usually sides with Democrats. Many of the GOP "no" votes came from tea party-backed senators like Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; and Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
The two votes and a brief debate took less than an hour, impressively quick for the Senate. They came after a more typical day that featured a sprinkling of senators' speeches and long periods when the Senate chamber idled with no one talking, while private negotiations off the floor nailed down final details.
President Barack Obama said the Senate action would help his agenda in Congress.
"At a time when we face critical decisions on a whole range of issues _ from preventing further gun violence, to reforming our broken immigration system, to getting our fiscal house in order and creating good paying jobs _ we cannot afford unnecessary obstruction. And I am hopeful that today's bipartisan agreement will pave the way for the Senate to take meaningful action in the days and weeks ahead," Obama said in a written statement.
The pact leaves the Senate's minority party with far more power than it has in the House, where rules let a united majority party easily muscle through its priorities. It also falls short of changes Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had been threatening to ram through using the 55 votes Democrats have, a technique nicknamed the "nuclear option" because it is considered likely to produce harsh GOP retaliation that could grind work to a virtual halt.
"I'm glad cooler heads have prevailed here once again, and those who were clamoring for the nuclear option, most of whom have never served a day of their lives in the minority, didn't prevail," said McConnell, who worked out the agreement with Reid. He added that Republicans felt rules changes were not needed, merely a willingness by both parties to allow "vigorous debate and a robust amendment process."
Reid said the changes would increase Senate efficiency while protecting lawmakers in the minority party, warning that he would consider future changes if Thursday's package didn't do enough.
"We were elected to get things done for the middle class _ not waste time with endless stalling tactics that cause even bills with broad bipartisan support to languish for weeks," Reid said.
Democrats say Republican use of filibusters has become almost routine and far too frequent. Republicans say they use it because Reid often blocks them from offering amendments.
The rules also don't go nearly as far as restrictions championed by a group of newer Democratic senators, such as requiring filibustering senators to physically debate on the Senate floor, as portrayed by the actor Jimmy Stewart in the classic 1939 film, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington." Such filibusters have been rare for decades.
Democrats said this week that they lacked the votes to force that proposal through the Senate.
Even so, the agreement was remarkable in a period of bitter partisan clashes over Obama's budgetary, tax and social initiatives and GOP efforts to block them. It will streamline some of the Senate's work and avoid what could have been prolonged, nasty battling between the two parties if Democrats _ frustrated by the GOP's growing reliance on the delays _ tried forcing more decisive changes.
The deal gave each side something it wanted: Quicker action for Democrats, guaranteed amendments for Republicans. And it avoided clamping tight limits on filibusters that would alienate veteran lawmakers wary that their party could fall into the minority after any election.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report) has posted 15 consecutive quarters of earnings growth, a winning streak that has to come to an end, according to Oppenheimer analyst Chris Kotowski.
The San Francisco-based lender
The bank's performance is also impressive considering that rival JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report) reported a loss, following a large addition to legal loss reserves.
Still, Kotowski said in a Oct. 11 report that "investors should be prepared for a time when the continual upward progression of EPS just can't be maintained."Mortgage revenue took a deep hit in the latest quarter, as expected, with rising interest rates causing a plunge in refinancing volumes. The volatility in revenue should be mitigated by the bank's plans to lay off 5,300 employees. Kotowski is no fan of the mortgage business, with its inherent volatility and low profitability. "There is a reason why the thrifts that used to own this business traded at 5X," he noted. The analyst also noted that the last two quarters have benefited significantly from reserve releases due to improving credit quality. Outside of credit quality improvements there wasn't much to cheer about the report, with loan growth being flat, mortgages way down and trust and investment fees which had held up in the prior quarter also weakening slightly. "Unless we see some significant organic loan growth soon,

The directions to this prop were vague and extremely difficult to understand. The prop itself took a minimum of 5 hours to construct and I added 2 rolls of black duct tape to ensure that it would even stand! I also duct taped it to the floor for extra stability. It was very expensive and ended up destroying this prop after the event. It would have been impossible to reuse again for another dance. Great prop for "effect" but waste of money!! I would have rather bought something else to add to the stage and decor.
Best Uses
This tower is Huge!!! IT is so hard to put together. After 3 hours we ended up just using the top section of the tower. It was very unstable.
Best Uses
The product was used as a theme for our Homecoming dance. It made a beautiful backdrop for pictures and was large enough that we didn"t have to add very much additional decoration. We had a little trouble with securing the base however, with the use of a few decorative sticks it worked out well. Will use again
Best Uses
We constructed this eiffel tower for prom. For the [$] we paid, I would have expected some more supports and tape. We had to make more supports with wood and buy tons of duct tape to get it to stay together. The lighting that comes with it was adequate, and the construction was not that difficult. But the quality was lacking a bit and since its cardboard, its not that sturdy. We also chose to elevate it 4 more feet with risers that worked nicely, they were made of wood, so our structure was 20 feet tall. It looks slighty under amazing in the light, but looks nice in the dark of prom lighting. It served its purpose, but is definetly "one use only"! There is no way to take it down and not tear it up.
Best Uses
It added a lot to the atmosphere and theme!
This was a great addition to our Prom. However you need to make sure you buy extra black duct tape and extension cords with 3 sockets so you can wire the lights. Ours also fell apart halfway through our prom, but we had several students believe that they were godzilla and the tower fell over.
Best Uses
I used the product for decor at a fundraiser auction. It was great for photo opportunities, great for setting the scene, and it definitely "wowed" the attendees. It is made out of carboard and is taped together with adhesive tape and black duct tape. Read the directions carefully!! It was fragile enough that we didn't want too many people walking around it for fear it could fall down. The lighting looks great. However, I wish they would have provided light covers (which mute and guide the light) for all 9 lights instead of just the 4 base lights and the top light. Instructions say it could take 8 people about 8 hours to assemble...we had 3 people and were able to assemble it in about 8 hours.

BOC seizes P5-M semi-submarine
Days after its top officials came under fire for incompetence from President Benigno Aquino himself, the Bureau of Customs said it had seized more than P19-million worth of smuggled items, including secondhand vehicles and a semi-submarine, at the Manila International Container Port.
BOC Commissioner Ruffy Biazon, who led other bureau officials during the inspection of the seized items on Friday, said the shipments were undervalued and did not have the necessary permits.
Apart from used vehicles and a semi-submarine, also confiscated were a motorcycle, used truck tires, dinner wares, body lotion, and several container vans of possibly hazardous scrap materials.
Biazon said the semi-submarine from South Korea was worth P5 million but was falsely declared by its consignee, Dionysus Trading, as outboard motor compressor parts and accessories.
The used vehicles, which were contained in four 40-foot containers, were seized by the BOC as items imported in violation of the Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines and Executive Order No. 156 which bans the importation of right-hand drive cars and used vehicles.
The scrap plastic materials, which were contained in 14 container vans, arrived in Manila from Vietnam and Hong Kong in April.
The P2.4-million shipments were consigned to Urrutia Trading Group of Companies, Biazon said. Tina G. Santos

Kalki Koechlin has found fame in B-Town by picking off-beat characters. This time, the actor is all decked up to play five roles in a play titled Trivial Disasters.
According to media reports, for Kalki, theatre is a medium which makes you react a lot more to things around one. She is excited to come back to it, because she believes that an actor is spontaneous and has to constantly change his/her act to suit the audience.
The 30-year-old actor has studied theatre in the past, as well as taken on diverse roles before. At a press conference, while talking about Trivial Disasters, Kalki explained, "There is a lot of comedy in the play and it is dark also. There are nine stories in this play and we all are playing different characters. I am playing characters. One is a very shy girl, then an older lady, even a young sales boy who is hyper and energetic. So it is a fun play."
The play, directed by Atul Kumar, will also have Richa Chadda, Purab Kohli and Cyrus Sahukar.

White House Approves Sonic Cannons For Atlantic Energy Exploration 272

This is just disgusting news
I wonder how loud they are compared with underwater explosions, volcanoes and seaquakes?

The _turf_ of bottom dwelling creatures can be quite small, especially of mollusks. Injuring them, or driving away their predators, is likely to have quite large ecological consequences. Even driving away vegetarian creatures from their feeding grounds is likely to interfere with stable ecologies.
Everything is safe always, you mean. In a world with the GOP, the EPA could find that this causes a 10000% increase in sudden infant death syndrome and no ban will pass the House because of "rabble rabble job creators class warfare energy independence"
You are the reason environmentalism gets discredited. Of course our needs are a consideration. The oceans must exist for future generations to do what for them? Fulfill their needs. The first imperative of every species is survival, that is nature. We can talk about balance or relative cost, but there is no way that humans are going to agree to extinct themselves.
Hey man, didn't you read "could generate thousands of jobs?" Let me say that again. COULD. MAKE. THOUSANDS. JOBS.
End of discussion. We all know the only things worse than aborting potential jobs are terrorism and taxes.
Ya, but those jobs are going to be cleaning the dead fish & sea mammals off beaches.

It'll be exciting to see how much revenue Samsung will lose without Apple as its customer in the longterm.

The drive to grow profits motivates companies to think about where the new growth comes from. Sooner or later the parts maker starts thinking about building more and more of an end device. Then, it's only a little more imagination to think about building a whole device. Base lots of that whole device on one that is selling so well (and for which you are now expert at building it's parts) and you have a good chance of building an impressive, profitable device.
To me the sequence of events are as obvious as can be. Pulling away from Samsung for ripping off ideas from Apple by taking business to other players who commonly incorporate "best of" innovations from each other is just fueling the drive for several more Samsungs in the next few years. If anything, it just buys Apple a little time until the TSMCs, LGs, Sharps, etc ramp up their Samsung-like "copycats".

Question is if Apple cannot partner with industry leaders and has a bunch of low-rated suppliers can it maintain quality.
US Auto industry tried this trick for last 15-20 years. They demand 5%-10% price cut every year from suppliers and if supplier refuses the switch the supplier. By the time production from new supplier is stable, they start this cycle again. After few years with quality issues, customers loose faith and stop buying products.

Also give it a try with the Mighty Mouse, or even the Apple TV.
Are people really that shallow?
Benefits of the plastic case over the iPhone 5 metal case:
- Very durable
- If it breaks, replace it - ~$2 cost to you.
- Lighter
Vs the iPhone 5 case:
- Soft metal, scratches like a bitch (I own one....I know.)
- Very slippy surface
Both are 'decent' options. Neither is superior. Grow the heck up.

Apple 2006 isn't a do-it-all smart phone company like RIM, Palm or Nokia. They specialize in making computers and music players.
Apple 2000 isn't a do-it-all music player company like Sony, Samsung or Creative. They specialize in making computers.
Point: Passage of time allows a company to think beyond what it does now. The drive for growth motivates that kind of thinking. If you built parts for iDevices and wanted to grow beyond what you could make from such parts deals, what would be the natural next step? (hint: it won't be something complete different from what you know how to do now)
I'm not saying TSMC will immediately become Samsung-like. I'm saying that shifting from one manufacturer to another to get away from a "copycat" is begging for new copycats (and funding them... and teaching them how to build products like those that sell really well).
I agree with the idea that one cannot slug together phone parts to make a new, quality phone but I also foresee these new players recognizing what made Apple and Samsung so much money... how it's just a bit more than what they are doing now to give that a try too, etc.
Some of us seem to think that there's just no way that other Asian manufacturers won't try the "copycat" approach proven so successful for Samsung. Why exactly? Because the new partners are not "good at" it? Was Samsung good at building smart phones before following Apple's lead? Was Samsung good at building tablets before following Apple's lead? Was Google good at mobile OSs before following Apple's lead? Were they even interested in mobile OS before getting a whiff of iOS? Etc. All you need to do is show a group of people how to build something that makes a lot of money and those people will want to build their own (and make a lot of money too). Asia in particular has the reputation of copying anything (see lightning cables flooding the market as just a very recent example)
Obviously Samsung decided that the profits in building their own versions of iDevices outweighed the risk of losing the parts & assembly business. Why do we think these new partners won't go through the very same process?

In this sense the much bigger threat to Apple is Foxconn, not TSMC.
Speaking of Apple, they were already making small tightly integrated electronics such as laptops, MP3 players, and especially PDA which is very much alike smartphone.
Look at HTC, Palm and RIM, all started off by making PDA.

Again, I'm glad you have such faith. Apple was not expert on portable music devices before iPod. But they decided they wanted to go there. So what did they do? They hired/bought their way into that (hardware) space. Apple was not expert at smart phones before iPhones. But they decided they wanted to go there. So what did they do? They hired/bought their way into that (hardware) space too. That's how its done. When you want to enter a new market or build a new product and don't have the on-hand resources to pull it off, you hire or buy your way in.
I lack faith that TSMC and similar flush with cash from the lucrative parts business we're celebrating being taken away from Samsung can't hire/buy their way into being able to do more than they do now... just like Apple has done. They know that there is lots of money in it as they are happy to be getting the business they are getting now for just the parts that they are contributing to the whole. How hard it is to start wanting a few more parts of that whole to be their business too? Then, how hard is it to want to take a crack at making a whole variation themselves?
But I'll just buy your remarkable faith that there seems little chance of new partners trying to jump on the profitable path already proven by Samsung's actions. And we'll see how it plays out over time.

Would you worry that Corning will suddenly start making smartphones? Should Apple stop buying Corning glass because they might start making phones with the money from Apple? Worrying about TSMC is no different. It's not "remarkable faith", it's just a common sense.
|Jan 2, 2013, 02:09 PM
I appreciate your points again. No I wouldn't expect a glass manufacturer to jump into iDevices. However TSMC makes the key "guts". They need to add things like a metal case and glass around those guts. That's not even remotely similar to going from manufacturing a pane of glass to building chips.
And it's not just TSMC. It's also the other new partners Apple is trying to swap into from the old one (Samsung). LG does/has made phones/screens/etc: http://www.lg.com/levant_en/smartphones They don't even look that different than Samsung's models. Does Sharp want to be the smart portable device business? http://www.sharp-phone.com/fr/products/sh80f/index.html
Yes, TSMC would have to do more than these other partners but Apple had to do more to bring along OS X, iPods, iPhone, iPad too.
However, arguing it doesn't prove anything. You could be right or I could be right. Just stand by and let's see if the new Asian partners decide to follow the old Asian partner's profitable lead.

TSMC makes a single component, a chip. Apple buys (TSMC-made) modem chips from Qualcomm, buys chip IP from ARM, and glass from Corning. Any of them could jump into making smartphone but none of them makes integrated products which is vastly different from Samsung, LG, or Sharp who all had been making phones for ages, making an Android phone.
I'd worry much more about Foxconn before I worry about TSMC.
|Jan 2, 2013, 02:31 PM
With the 11" model it all seemed to be the other way around, but when it comes to LCD panels you can't really compare between sizes as the Samsung 11" panel is vastly different from the 13" ones, same goes for the LG panels. If someone measures the LG panel of the 11" to be inferior to the Samsung panels you would be foolish to think this counts for the 13", Pro 13" and Pro 15" as well.
When I had my MacBook Pro 17" 2010 model (Samsung) and MacBook Pro 17" 2011 model (LG) side-by-side there was no doubt about the LG one being superior to the Samsung one. Samsung has this bad habit of over-saturated colours making for horrid gamma profiles and calibrations way out of any kind of natural charts. It might look good for some, but it's not remotely close to being realistic.
To be honest Samsung doesn't go all out on the colour saturation on the panels used on Apple notebooks and this is most likely due to Apple's very strict quality control and demands from their suppliers but my experience from MacBook Air 13" and MacBook Pro 17 the last years the LG panels have mostly been superior if you are looking for the best calibrated panels out of the lot.
The iMac 27" doesn't feature Samsung panels at all, and the 2012 models are one of the best "out-of-box" calibrated monitors for it's price range currently on the market. I don't know about the 21,5" one, but considering it's now all IPS and Samsung tends to not do IPS I guess they aren't involved in those either and they've had some pretty decent reviews as well.
Not the mention the Retina models, all being non-Samsung IPS panels and they are looking great with really good out-of-the-box calibration and gamma profile for notebooks.
If you take a look at computer monitors as a whole, Samsung doesn't really offer much in the high-end calibrated market at all. They mostly have some decent PVA panels, and some horrid TN-panels with colours way out of the chart and that's mostly it. You would normally be looking at Eizo, NEC or Dell if you wanted some decent calibrated ones and possibly Asus's Pro line if you aren't willing to pay the premium for the other brands.
Hell, take a look at Samsung's own line of premium notebooks and tablets and you see next to none capable of being close to anything premium in terms of colour calibration and gamma profile out-of-the-box. They are beaten by Asus on quite a few notebooks and their Inifity tablet beats all current Samsung ones.
And you have a pretty good example with this whole Samsung does their own PLS thing instead of IPS. PLS is basically Samsung own proprietary answer to IPS and they are both pretty much the same thing, rocking the same good viewing angels and whatnot but whereas we have many decent calibrated IPS monitors, all PLS monitors comes oversaturated out-of-the-box.
Same goes for Samsung televisions, they all feature horrible colour profiles out-of-the-box pushing contrast way off the chart. They look awesome once you've gone through some serious calibration, but lets face it barley anyone actually calibrate their display in any sensible way resulting in you being better of with a high quality Panasonic Plasma or something other than a Samsung LED-LCD television in terms of colour reproduction.
All in all, I can't see the sad part in Samsung being left out in the dust in terms of display panels. When it comes to SSD's though I certainly hope Apple don't drop the ball on Samsung until they have either Intel or Micron on the team. Going all Toshiba SSD would be downright silly in terms of both performance and stability.

Thanks Seth and Leigh for providing such great accommodations for our vacation. I just spent a week in this fun house with my six kids and everything went very well. It had everything we needed plus some. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. There was plenty of room to spread out and also hang out by the pool. The hot tub was great after a long day at Universal Studios, which is just minutes away, and other great sights in the area. The location of the house is very centrally located and easily accessible to all the great spots in Hollywood.
Seth was very responsive to any of our needs and always responded quickly when I asked questions.
I highly recommend this house for a vacation!
Thanks again!
March 2-9, 2013
This place was perfect in every way. I was in town with a group of friends for a wedding and we decided a rental might be more fun than a hotel. We could not have been happier with that decision. Both houses were comfortable, clean and decorated with much more style than the average rental. Having two separate houses was great for our large group because it gave everyone enough space.
Seth was great to work with and was very responsive to all of our little questions when we arrived. He replied to my emails within five minutes every single time.
I highly recommend this place and wish we could go back soon!
After touring La Vegas and San Francisco followed by a 5 hour drive from SF we arrived in LA seeking a slower pace for our second week and Casa de Oro delivered. Located close to everything we wanted to experience and yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle this is a great base for staying in LA.
I worried slightly about the lack of reviews and whether or not the villa was as described and photographed. I needn't have worried, if anything it has even more character.
Everything we needed was provided, everything worked perfectly and the pool was heated to perfection. There's not much to add as the last couple of reviews have said it all before. Yes I would certainly recommend it to anyone thinking of renting in LA and if I have the chance to go again I certainly would.
Thanks for a great holiday.
What can I say other than this house is beautiful!
Believe me the reviews below are not lying, I have recently returned from my stay at Casa De Oro with 7 of my girlfriends and I can say we were not disappointed!
After a 10 hour flight walking into the house felt like we were in a home of our own for the week- everything is so inviting from the books on the coffee table to three yes THREE bathrooms! (needed when there are 8 ladies to get ready)
Relaxing around the pool and the beautiful garden it was like we were in our own secret paradise.
Seth could not have been any more helpful and answered all my questions both in regards to the house and the surrounding area before and during our stay.
Melrose Ave is literally a stones throw away and both The Village Idiot (bar on the corner of Melrose & N.Martel) & Johnny Rockets are a must -even just to sit round the counter and sing from the jukebox (yes very touristy but so much fun!)
Thank you Seth, for your house was an amazing part of our trip never to be forgotten & hopefully one day to be returned to!
This property was everything I had hoped for. It was clean, well organised. It Has high end appliances and flat screens in every room! It is in an ideal location, literally 20 steps to melrose ave, great shops, restaurants, and cafes. And ten mins to holllywood and sunset bvld
The house has everything you could possibly need....
I am definitly going to book here again!!
thanks for the great stay!
I don't normally write on these review pages.However after staying here, I felt I must leave some comments about the Owners and their house to warn others!!
This house is actually toooooo "INCREDIBLY AMAZING" the danger is you dont want to leave at the end of your stay! The owners are so nice you feel you want to bring them home for Christmas. Seth and Leigh could not do enough for us. They were so so so so nice!!!! I have never experienced this kind of customer service in any part of the world that I have stayed.This house was simply top class!! It is so central to everywhere in L.A, yet still in a perfect area that's peaceful, that your not been woken up during the night.
To give you some back ground , we lived here for a month, and when I say we, I manage a Rock Band that has had 4 number #1 hits on the downloads charts in Ireland along with 3 top ten hits and a top Thirty in the physical sales. So there were 7 of us.Full Band & two managers.Yet still loads of room!
We came to L.A as we were recording our debut album with Grammy nominated producer to "Fleetwood Mac,"The Killers" etc etc We loved this house so much we decided to shoot half our latest music video in it!
When I seen this house on the net, I was dubious, "did it actually exist?" "it sounded too perfect!!" Well let me tell you it is perfect and it does exist! It made our trip perfect, we lived here for a month and it really felt like home. (by home I mean a better home than we have in Ireland, there are no outdoor heated pools here i can tell ya)
The pool is incredible, so hot! The Jacuzzi!! TOP CLASS!
Flat screen TVs in practically every room!! This house was just amazing! There was a cleaner in once a week, also pool cleaner in once a week, a news paper deliver everyday, a sound system that allowed you to play your music in to every room including the pool area! MTV cribs would have problems keeping up with this house.
It really was amazing. I would highly recommend this house to everyone, from the elderly, to young couples, families.This house is for any one that likes a beatiful place to stay in yet central
If you are on facebook (which lets be honest everyone is),search on facebook for keywestofficial our pictures are their enjoying the house & our video for our single will be up in the next few months as its not released until May 2011. You can even see what some of our fans thought of the house!! SIMPLY PUT WHAT A HOUSE!! We will be back.We loved it!
The property is located on the border of Hollywood and West Hollywood, just off Melrose Ave.
It's about 7 minutes to the Mann Chinese Theater, about 4 minutes to West Hollywood, 12-15 minutes to Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills, 30-35 minutes to Santa Monica and Venice beach, 15 minutes to Universal Studios

Patricia Allsup thought Alissa Jackson was the best person to motivate Allsup's twin sister through her breast cancer treatment.
"I thought Alissa was so strong," Allsup said. "I thought she was the perfect person to motivate and cheer Chris up because here you have Alissa who has stage four cancer and she is still around."
Christine Allsup died on Jan. 18 after a fight with stage 3 breast cancer since November 2009. She was 41.
Friends of the Allsups say they are glad Chris Allsup did not live to see Jackson -- someone Chris considered a friend and spent her last days helping -- charged with fraud.
Jackson faces two counts of felony theft by deception after a police investigation found that she lied about having terminal stage 4 ovarian cancer and accepted money from well-wishers.
Pat Allsup said Jackson was not honest with her and her sister, or even Jackson's own family. "She's got innocent kids. They were at school crying because they really thought their mom was dying."
Jackson's husband, Brandon Jackson, said Wednesday he believes his wife is sick.
Pat Allsup said she and her sister were coworkers with Brandon Jackson at Whistlestop's.
Knowing Chris Allsup had breast cancer, Brandon Jackson mentioned to the sisters in February 2012 that his wife had cancer.
Alissa Jackson contacted Chris Allsup a month later to talk about dealing with cancer, such as treatment options and doctor visits, Pat Allsup said.
Pat Allsup said her sister was someone who helped others rather than focusing on herself.
For two years, including the months leading up to Chris Allsup's death, Chris focused her energy on helping Alissa Jackson.
"Chris was the one who told her about the Fundly account," Pat Allsup said of an online fundraising site.
Chris asked others to donate to Alissa, a mother of five children, and gave what little she had to help "Alissa's Army," Pat Allsup said.
By then, the Allsup twins had stopped working at J.R.'s Last Call so that Pat could spend time with Chris during her last hospital stays.
The twins were bartenders but also had a part-time business, Makeufamouz Photography, where they did photo shoots for weddings and individuals.
After Chris Allsup died, Pat Allsup and others leading "Team Chris" and the Fight Like A Girl campaign helped Alissa Jackson pass out fliers, organized events and more to raise money.
Fundraising efforts for Alissa Jackson ramped up in February this year. Organizers planned a prom-styled fundraiser for Alissa Jackson because she told them she never went to prom.
"I donated more than $500," Pat Allsup said. "After Chris died, she asked for what was left of Chris' meds and I gave it all to her."
Pat Allsup said she dreamed of her sister after learning of Alissa Jackson's potential fraud.
With Chris in mind, Pat Allsup said her sister cared deeply about others and would not want people to lose hope and stop donating to those diagnosed with a terminal illness.
After news broke of the fraud charges, Pat Allsup posted on her Facebook page: "Please continue to believe and trust in others! There is good in all of us."

BCCI Vice-president Rajeev Shukla refuses to divulge contentsBoard to treat the matter as closed
New Delhi: The BCCI on Sunday said it was satisfied with the explanation of Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh, but issued a warning to all the players against speaking to the media directly in the future.
The Board said it had gone through the letters of the two players in reply to the show-cause notices issued to them on their remarks on Greg Chappell and would consider the matter as closed.
"We have received the replies of Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh. The replies are satisfactory and the chapter is closed now," BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah told reporters in Rajkot.
"If in future any player speaks to the media, he will be given notice by the Board. Every player should remember that the game is more important than individuals," he said.
BCCI Vice-president Rajeev Shukla said PTI that the Board would treat the matter as closed.
"We have gone through their letters and we are satisfied with the explanation,'' he said.
Asked whether the two players had apologised, Shukla said that he would not divulge the contents of the letters.
Security concerns
Regarding the security concerns for the Indian team for the forthcoming Bangladesh tour, Shah said, "BCCI has discussed about the security of the players in Bangladesh and we have been assured of that.
"But if required we will ask the Indian Government and send a security team to Bangladesh. And if need be commandos also will be sent," he said.
Shah further said the selectors have been asked to watch the all-India inter-State Twenty20 tournament being played in Mumbai and Ahmedabad from Sunday and the members of the selection committee are present at both the venues. PTI

I have run with PUG's that are skilled, and I have left runs because PUG's are unskilled and jacking my repair costs up.
My best runs are with my guildies, I know them, and they know me. For example, on Lupi stage 3 in Arah 3, when the bubble knockdown aoe goes off on me, instead of walking out of it, I blink onto Lupi and run away. Strafe (my fluffer guildie) knows that happens, and when I blink he dodges on me and heals me when I come out of it.

Camera Systems
Why Stock Photos?
The short answer is that we use stock photos on some listings to save us time and to save you money. The longer answer is that we love to take photos of each and every lens, camera, and accessory, but doing so takes a lot of time and makes it difficult to get everything listed. So, we decided to compromise: take gorgeous photos of some things and charge a little more for them, and use stock photos for other items and charge a little less for those, all else equal.
The items listed here were tested thoroughly by our trained technicians. If they observed any significant flaws, you'll see them detailed above. If the items listed here are exceptionally awesome, you'll see that noted above too. Regardless, please remember this is a used item and it's bound to have at least a microscopic imperfection.
If you're interested in purchasing an item with specific photos and ratings, we don't blame you one bit. Please visit one of our Exposed! listings (if available), usually marked with a green badge. If none are currently available, by all means, contact us.

The Canon 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM
The 180mm f/3.5L has a longer focal length than any other Canon macro lens. The longer focal length allows a longer working distance to the subject than the smaller macro lenses do. This lens is exceptionally sharp and can double as a short telephoto lens. However, since it is a macro lens, autofocus speed is a bit slower than most lenses.
Roger's Take
This is a pretty large lens--one I'd recommend using a tripod with unless you've got excellent light, strong hands, and great technique. Other than that it's an amazing lens. At 180mm you can get a lot of distance between the lens and the subject, which can be important for some types of macro shooting.
The long focal length also tends to make the background more blurred, which really isolates the subject from the background. It is, however, a specialty lens, so unless you're a dedicated macro shooter, you'd probably be better off with a Canon 100mm f/2.8L IS or Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro and a little less size.
Are we out of stock?If you don't see exactly what you're looking for and that makes you sad, please give us a shout. We might have good news for you. Here's a link to our contact form.
We offer a 3-day inspection period on all sales, during which time you may return the item for a refund of the purchase price, not including shipping.
Finally, if you select the two-year lens warranty, you'll get additional protection from Consumer Priority Service ("CPS"). The two-year warranty will take effect after our 90-day warranty ends. Click the link below for all the details:

Techno talk
First, some technical explanations to lay out an overview of what you're looking at.
PSTN, POTS and PBX
The traditional model for voice communications is the PSTN, or Public Switched Telephone Network. This is, essentially, the phone company -- its infrastructure, cables and so on. It handles your phone calls, and has its own range of technologies for ensuring that your call gets through properly.
Although this is a slight over-simplification, the basic model of the PSTN is a mainframe/terminal scenario. The switches and exchanges of the phone company provide all the features and functionality of your call service. Your telephone is just a dumb terminal, with barely any inbuilt features of its own. Even phones with funky buttons for call waiting, call forwarding and placing calls on hold are completely reliant on those features being supported at the switch. The switch provides everything to the phone (including its power), and every signal which comes from the phone, from the keys pressed to your voice, has to be managed and interpreted by the switch.
Every phone connection, therefore, has to connect directly to the switch. In low-density situations like a residential connection, the individual connections back to the switch are called lines. In situations where a greater number of phone connections are needed, like offices, it's expensive and impractical to connect multiple lines to the exchange so a PBX, or Private Branch Exchange, is used instead. This is a smaller switch mounted and installed in-house, with a line going back to the main exchange called a trunk. PBXs have the advantage that all internal calls do not have to route out of the PBX and back to the exchange, so the phone company is not involved and the calls are free.
However, the basic model still applied -- the PBX carries all the functionality and the phones are just dumb terminals.
The simplicity of the switch/terminal system has enabled voice communications to be reliably serviced over fairly dated infrastructure. A phone line connected to a house in the 1970s is still perfectly viable. However, it also means that any new features or upgrades have to be applied to the switch, and this often means new, dedicated and expensive hardware. This doesn't really impact home users (until the bill goes up with a new -Service Fee" attached), but when businesses wish to upgrade PBX functionality, dollars can quickly vanish.
VoIP vs IP Telephony
These two phrases do get bandied about a lot -- to the extent that sometimes they're interchangeable and sometimes meaningless. The definition that makes the most sense is this:
- Voice over IP describes the technology required to run voice communications over an IP network
- IP Telephony describes the features and capabilities open to you now that you are running VoIP
To be honest, the only thing which matters is that the definitions makes sense in the context in which it's being used, and that it's used consistently. This article will only be talking about VoIP, using the definition outlined above.

HOUSTON Soccer and tailgating go together like, well, football and tailgating. Houston Dynamo fans crowd the parking lot of Robertson Stadium before every game, boozing up and chowing down in a pre-game tradition.
But a little known wrinkle in Houston s code of ordinances that has caught the eye of everyone from city bureaucrats to city council members stands in the way of that game-day ritual. Oddly enough, tailgating outside the new soccer stadium is illegal.
I understand it s against city ordinances at this point, said Brian Ching, the Dynamo forward who is the team s star player. So hopefully we can sort that out and our fans can get back to doing what they love.
That s what the city s political leaders expect to do this week. Houston s mayor and city council will consider amending city ordinances to essentially allow tailgating outside downtown sports venues.
The curious legal problem traces back to a broadly worded section of the city s code of ordinances. With broad, but very specified exceptions, it basically bans public drinking in downtown Houston.
It shall be unlawful for any person to be in possession of an open container in the central business district, according to the city s code. It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in the public consumption of any alcoholic beverage in the central business district.
The ordinance makes exceptions for drinking in homes, privately owned buildings, motor vehicles or any place licensed by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. It does not, however, make an exception for sports fans drinking in a parking lot.
The amendment going before city council would allow drinking at team-sponsored events outside downtown sports stadiums. Although city officials say it would apply not only to the Dynamo but also the Rockets and Astros, spokesmen for the baseball and basketball teams say they have no plans for any tailgating events.
People who live and work around the new Dynamo stadium generally support the change. After all, it s an area whose bars and nightclubs are part of its attraction to new residents.
I think it ll be great for the city, great for this area, especially, because it ll bring a lot more vibrancy to the old warehouse district, said Jared Smith, who works in the neighborhood.

Vishal Bharadwaj as we all know is one of the finest directors of the Hindi Film Industry who has given a number of hits like 'Makdee', 'Maqbool', 'Omkara' 'Kaminey', but on the other side before starting his Direction career he was a Music Composer and now along with directing films he has been composing songs as well.
When asked a recent interview for his upcoming film 'Haider', about his journey as a Music Composer to a Director he said "I have now forgotten that at a time I was just a composer. I became a Director to keep the Music Composer inside me alive because I had stopped getting work for my music this was the only way to keep myself alive as a composer."
All of his films have had very different kind of music which have also been his USP of his films. Nonetheless, the audience tend to love his songs as much as they do for his movies.

Another long week in the tech world finally comes to a close, but not before yet another tech blog gets its hands on a secretive Apple component ahead of the actual product introduction. We've also got a couple of updates on the Foxconn story to share with you, and plenty more on deck for this Friday, February 17, 2012.
MacRumors Nabs iPad 3 Display, Everybody Run for Cover
It's been nearly two years since Gizmodo got their mitts on a real-life iPhone 4 and documented it for all to see, during which time Apple has been able to keep a tight lid on most of its other products leaking into the wild. Apparently, that winning streak ends today, with MacRumors reporting they've got their hands on a bonafide iPad 3 display part, which they've examined "under a microscope in an effort to determine whether it is indeed an ultra-high resolution Retina display" -- the kind that's been widely rumored for some months. Cut to the chase: The rumors appear to be true, with the leaked display part packing four times the number of pixels in the same 9.7-inch space, which equates to double the resolution -- 2048x1536, to be exact, which is double that of the current iPad and iPad 2. Godspeed, MacRumors, may the wrath of Tim Cook fall upon the shoulders of another...
Final Draft Reader Arrives for iPad
It's not quite the convenience of being able to actually write a screenplay on the iPad, but the creators of the number one selling scriptwriting software in the world have finally dipped their big toes into the tablet pool. Final Draft, Inc. has announced the availability of their Final Draft Reader app this week, a $19.99 iPad-only solution for reading Final Draft 8 FDX files on Apple's tablet, exactly the same way they appear on the Mac and Windows versions. You'll get ScriptNotes for easily adding, editing and categorizing notes right on the iPad, and any edits or additions will be maintained when the script is brought back to the desktop. FDX script files can be imported via iTunes File Sharing, Dropbox or email, and screenplays can be shared with others easily via email as well. 14 different languages are supported, so scripts written in other countries are also compatible. Best of all, Final Draft is promising that Reader is only "the first in a series of mobile apps for scriptwriters and filmmakers," suggesting that the best is yet to come. Final Draft Reader 1.0 is now available from the App Store; the 8.6MB download is compatible with all iPads running iOS 5.0 or later.
Foxconn Ponies Up More Dough to Employees After Change.org Campaign
Change.org gave themselves a big high-five today with the announcement that Apple's largest supplier, Foxconn, "will be raising workers wages by 16 to 25 percent" on the heels of increased criticism over working conditions there. Members of Change.org delivered more than 250,000 signed petitions to Apple stores around the world, which appear to have done more than simply raise publicity for the organization. "Apple and its suppliers have both taken action this week in response to their consumers concern about the treatment of the Chinese factory workers," said petition creator Mark Shields, a self-professed Apple "super-user." "These quick responses are great steps in the right direction, and I hope the early signs of a genuine commitment by Apple to make sure that their products are made without abusing workers. It would still be great to see Apple use some of its hallmark creativity to issue a worker protection plan so that the injuries and suicides that have marked new product launches to date, quickly become a thing of the past." The full petition remains for all to see on Change.org's website.
App Store Nearing 25 Billion Downloads, Apple is Celebrating
Interested in winning a $10,000 App Store Gift Card? Apple's website now features a counter that's rapidly spinning toward 25 billion -- the amount of apps downloaded from the App Store, which could happen in the very near future. "As of today, nearly 25 billion apps have been downloaded worldwide," Apple announced on its website. "Which is almost as amazing as the apps themselves. So we want to say thanks. Download the 25 billionth app, and you could win a US$10,000 App Store Gift Card.* Just visit the App Store and download your best app yet." Needless to say, the odds of downloading the winning app at just the right moment are probably slim at best, but hey -- somebody's gotta win, so why not you?
Never Mind: "Tons of Issues" Cited During FLA Foxconn Audits
Announced on Monday, Apple invited the Fair Labor Association to begin inspections of the company's Foxconn plants in Shenzhen and Chengdu, China. Almost just as quickly, Reuters reported that the FLA found the plants in first class condition -- but it turns out such comments may have been premature. FLA CEO Auret van Heerden told Bloomberg today they were "finding tons of issues" while en route to a meeting where preliminary findings will be presented to Foxconn management. "I believe we're going to see some very significant announcements in the near future," van Heerden said. For now, that's all the FLA is going to say, and neither Foxconn nor Apple have anything further to add as a 30-person FLA inspection team continues to interview 35,000 Foxconn employees.

Bihar Finance Minister Birendra Prasad Yadav today attacked the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at Centre for hiking prices of various commodities, besides the train fare.
"What has happened to 'achche din' promised by PM Narendra Modi during electioneering? The sufferings of the people have intensified with the rise in prices of various commodities since Modi taking over power at the Centre last month," Birendra said here.
He was speaking in the State Legislative Assembly while replying to debate on the state budget to the tune of Rs1.19 lakh crore for 2014-15.
Opposition leader Nandkishore Yadav protested asking the Finance Minister whether he was replying to the state's budget or the financial issues related to the central government.
"The train fare has been hiked substantially even as sugar has lost its sweetness due to increase in its price, besides the cost of petrol and diesel too have gone up," Birendra said.
He said that Janata Dal (United) JD(U) government was committed for development of Bihar for which the roadmap laid down by the former chief minister Nitish Kumar will be taken forward by the Jitan Ram Manjhi government during remainder of its term and hopefully in the next term in office too.
The house will discuss and approve budget of 14 departments individually in the days ahead during the ongoing budget session.
