Product description
From the bestselling author of "The Battle for America 2008" and longtime "Washington Post" correspondent, an inside view and analysis of the Obama-Romney presidential race Four years ago, a bright young presidential candidate named Barack Obama campaigned on a theme of hope and change, and made history. Today, he finds himself in another bitter, divisive presidential race but without the buzzwords. Instead, an embattled president struggles with a dysfunctionally divided Congress, the controversial healthcare bill, a decade-long war, and a stagnant economy. Obama's Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, former corporate tycoon and former governor of Massachusetts, faces his own controversies in the form of vague policies, fluctuating positions, and questions about his business practices in the private sector. Romney's personal fortune and business background seemed at odds with the Republican base until he named Wisconsin congressman, Tea Party darling and fiscal conservative Paul Ryan as his running mate. Using sources deep inside both campaigns and on the campaign trail through primary and battleground states, "Washington Post" correspondent Dan Balz writes with a keen political mind and a seasoned reporter's ear. He traces the highs and lows of the Obama presidency as well as the ruthless Republican primary as both laid the groundwork for one of the most crucial, contentious elections of our time." Collision 2012" puts the race for the White House in context and explores just what the election means for the future of the democratic process and America.

Review quote
"Dan Balz's "Collision 2012" is the best presidential campaign chronicle in many years. It is a great book, in part because it isn't about what happened as much as about how people in the campaigns were thinking. It is unusual in that it gives proper place to the impact of thought on political outcomes. - Peggy Noonan, "Wall Street Journal" "Dan's ability to be a fly on the wall is unparalleled." --Gwen Ifill, PBS "The behind-the-scenes reporting throughout--heck, the Christie chapter alone--makes the book a must-read... It was a fascinating ride, which Balz captures vividly in this most worthy sequel to The Battle for America 2008." -Al Kamen, "The Washington Post" "This is more than a look back at the last presidential race. It is a close look into the campaign. I lived it every day, but I'm already learning a lot from Dan's deep reporting. It will go on my shelf as a Bible of the great 2012 race." -Jeff Zeleny, ABC News "Coming from one of the most respected reporters in politics, Balz's account is perhaps the most highly anticipated of the 2012 campaign retrospective genre." "-Huffington Post" "With a sharp eye for detail, crisp and often evocative prose, an understanding of politics and politicians, and the experience gained over decades as a thoughtful old-school journalist, Balz recreates the rhythms of the grueling presidential year of 2012" "--The Washington Times" "This book is old-fashioned in a good sense.... Specific without being tedious, "Collision 2012" is short on windy analysis and long on attributed quotes and statistics" "--The Washington Post," Howell Raines "Balz's new book, "Collision 2012: Obama vs. Romney and the Future of Elections in America," is so full of anecdotes and revelations that it is hard to stop. But I will. Because even though I think this is one of the best political books I have ever read, harkening back to the "Making of the President" books in terms of its richness of detail and analysis, it is not a collection of anecdotes. Instead, it is a searing, unsparing indictment of America's presidential election system and the way candidates run for office." --Roger Simon, Politico "As the Washington Post's chief correspondent, Dan Balz is one of a handful of old media lions who can still shape the conventional wisdom; as such his new campaign book "Colllision 2012? is as close to an account-of-record as we're likely to get." --Alex Halperin, Salon.com "Washington Post chief correspondent Dan Balz's new book, Collision 2012: Obama vs. Romney and the Future of Elections in America, is everything one would expect from the worthy successor to the mantle of Balz's mentor, the late David Broder. Without a trace of snarkiness or the self-righteousness that creeps into too many books by journalists about politics, and without overemphasizing which campaign operative stabbed which one in the back, Balz walks us through the often zany and never boring 2012 election cycle." - Charlie Cook, " National Journal" "Dan Balz, a veteran Washington Post reporter who wrote The Battle for America, 2008, a best-selling account of that year's presidential race, offers us an admirable sequel in Collision 2012." - Ed Luce, "Financial Times"

I wanted to post a quick update:
I ordered the Door Latch Assembly from Repair Clinic, and it was shipped and arrived quickly. I am very happy with their service and would recommend to others.
After installing the new part I have been running the machine for about 2 weeks now and it seems to be working perfectly. Thanks so much for all your help.
One last question, is there anyway to rebuild/repair my old Door Latch Assembly so I can use it later?

The Redleg journal, for example, had well over a hundred photographs. Every other Journal book had dozens. The Mets Journal? Zero. Not one photograph. Other "Journals" had historic hitting and pitching lists. The Mets Journal? Zero. To make it worse, there are typos and editing mistakes throughout. There are less "current events" footnotes, such as other"Journals" had that put a season into perspective. There are less baseball footnotes, too. Attempted to look up Rogers Hornsby as a coach in 1962 and there was no mention whatsoever of that Hall of Famer's time with the Mets. But we're told who broadcast a playoff game for FOX or NBC. I've greatly enjoyed and admired the other team "Journals" by John Snyder, and there's much here that is interesting but, overall, this "Journal" seems sloppy and done on the cheap.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
(Matthew 6:25)
The verse above is an invitation from the Master for you to trust Him with your life. He wants you to have no care or anxiety whatsoever about anything, because God loves you greatly, and tenderly cares for you. He's saying to you "Give me your cares!"
As a child of God you must come to the point in your life where you know, without a doubt, that God is not only big enough to take care of you but equally willing to do so. He's more willing for you to live and enjoy life to the full than you could ever be. This takes the stress out of life; knowing that you serve a loving and compassionate Father, whose desire is for you to live a victorious life. The reason many people in the world are unhappy and burdened with lots of worries, being surfeited with the cares of life is that they're yet to accept His invitation: they haven't given Him their cares.
1 Peter 5:7 says "Casting all your cares upon him; for he careth for you." God cares for you personally; that means He knows you and He's concerned about you, therefore trust Him with your life. The Psalmist knew what it meant to trust the Lord this way; he was so sure of God's ability and willingness to guarantee his safety hence declared with all certainty: "Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me" (Psalm 138:7). This should be your attitude as a child of God.
Too many are focusing on the challenges and problems they're facing, and as a result, lose sight of God's grace and presence with them. By meditating on their challenges they short-circuit the power of God from working on their behalf. Refuse to dwell on whatever challenges you may be facing right now! Rather, think about the ability of the Spirit; He's all-great and powerful and can put you over every adversity.
I refuse to fret or worry over anything because God loves me and He's big and powerful enough to take care of me! Therefore, I live victoriously in rest today, having cast all my cares upon Him. Blessed be His Name.

I just completed my first sprint triathlon last weekend! I borrowed a bike for this event and need to return it. I've already signed up for another one in September so I need to buy a bike of my own. I'm looking at the 2012 Giant Escape 1 W. I hope to do two more sprint tris next year and then maybe move into Olympic tris.
Is there another brand I need to be looking at other than Giant? The cost of this one is around $500 and I don't want to go higher than that.
lots of great bike makers - Trek, specialized, bianchi, cannondale, cervelo talk w/ your good local bike shop about a bike that fits you and your budget they should be able to hook u up
goals for 2011:
break 19minutes for 5k
break 2:42 for olympic triathlon probably Anthracite olympic
break 3:16 for marathon ( a long shot but it's fun putting yourself out there)
Thanks! Plan to do that tomorrow!
If you are on a budget there are lots of good bikes on ebay and craigslist if you know your size. If you plan to stick with tri's you'll want to make sure you can get the best bike you can afford whether its new or used. I was on a budget when I bought my first bike and after a year of racing was ready to upgrade and I'm very glad I did.

Economy to be Obama's focus in State of the Union
Monday - 2/11/2013, 5:08am EST
AP White House Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama will focus his State of the Union address on boosting job creation and economic growth at a time of high unemployment, underscoring the degree to which the economy could threaten his ability to pursue second-term priorities such as gun control, immigration policy and climate change.
Obama also may use Tuesday's prime-time address before a joint session of Congress to announce the next steps for concluding the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
Obama's State of the Union marks his second high-profile speech to the nation in about three weeks, after his inaugural address Jan. 21 that opened his second term. White House aides see the two speeches as complementary, with Tuesday's address aimed at providing specifics to back up some of the Inauguration Day's lofty liberal rhetoric.
The president previewed the address during a meeting Thursday with House Democrats and said he would speak "about making sure that we're focused on job creation here in the United States of America." Obama said he would try to accomplish that by calling for improvements in education, boosting clean energy production, and reducing the deficit in ways that don't burden the middle class, the poor or the elderly.
While those priorities may be cheered by some Democrats, they're certain to be met with skepticism or outright opposition from many congressional Republicans, especially in the GOP-controlled House. The parties are at odds over ways to reduce the deficit. Republicans favor spending cuts; Obama prefers a combination of spending cuts and increasing tax revenue.
The president said he would address taxes and looming across-the-board budget cuts, known as the sequester, in the speech. The White House and Congress have pushed back the automatic cuts once, and Obama wants to do it again in order to create an opening for a larger deficit reduction deal.
"I am prepared, eager and anxious to do a big deal, a big package that ends this governance by crisis where every two weeks or every two months or every six months we are threatening this hard-won recovery," he said last week.
The economy has rebounded significantly from the depths of the recession and has taken a back seat for Obama since he won re-election in November. He's instead focused on campaigns to overhaul the nation's patchwork immigration laws and enact stricter gun control measures following the massacre of 20 schoolchildren in Newtown, Conn., in December.
The president also raised expectations for action this year on climate change after devoting a significant amount of time to the issue in his address at the inauguration.
But the unemployment rate is persistently high at 7.9 percent, economic growth slowed last quarter and consumer confidence is falling, so the economy could upend Obama's plans to pursue a broader domestic agenda in his final four years in office.
Tony Fratto, who worked in the White House during President George W. Bush's second term, said Obama has to show the public that he's still focused on the economy before he can get their full support for his other proposals.
"We're not in a position where he can blame anybody else for the economy now," Fratto said, "Now it's his economy."
Obama is expected to use his address to press lawmakers to back his immigration overhaul, which includes a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants, and his gun control proposals, including universal background checks and a ban on assault weapons.
Voting rights groups expect the president to call for changes that would make it easier for people to vote.
"I think it's important to be able to do more than one thing at a time," said David Axelrod, who served as senior adviser in the White House and Obama's re-election campaign. "But the economy is an ongoing and significant challenge that you have to keep working on."
While the centerpiece of Obama's address is expected to be his domestic agenda, the president sees a chance to outline the next steps in bringing the protracted war in Afghanistan to an end. He's facing two pressing decisions: the size and scope of the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan after the war formally ends late next year, and the next phase of the troop drawdown this year.
More than 60,000 U.S. troops are in Afghanistan.
The president could update the public on cuts to the number of U.S. nuclear weapons, a priority for his administration. Vice President Joe Biden recently told a security conference in Germany that Obama probably would use the State of the Union to discuss "advancing a comprehensive nuclear agenda to strengthen the nonproliferation regime, reduce global stockpiles and secure nuclear materials."

Social media is the favorite platform of young people. Although twitter space is occupied by most of the celebrities in the world, still many young people use it for their fun. Around 50 percent of people aged between 18 and 24 are unaware of the fact that they can be sued for defamation. If they intentionally spread rumor about somebody, they can be sued under law.
Need of a lawyer for twitter lawsuits
Many journalists are leading media laws to have knowledge about some incidents that occur in social media pertaining to libelous issues. It quite differs from the knowledge of the lawyers. At the end of the day you need a media lawyer to sort it out.
Here are some of the situations that call for the need of a lawyer
Libelous incidents on twitter can be a serious offence. In some countries, you can be sued under twitter lawsuits if you are spreading rumor about someone or something. Reporting about a Sexual abuse victim comes next in the lawsuit. You can talk about the offenders. You can't name the victim. You can't also say anything derogatory about the victim. You may be fined for doing such things. Contempt of court in twitter can be a serious offense. Find out more at oneill-law-firm.com
There has been a number of cases reported pertaining to this. People have been fined and awarded imprisonment for doing such heinous things. In some cases, court orders not to reveal anything about the cases in the media. If you go against the court order and publish anything related to it on the platform, you may be sued for that. You can't threaten someone on twitter.
This may be a joke to you. But you may not do it on twitter. This violates the communication law of a country. You may be fined for this.
Twitter lawsuits can be myriad. Before you write any comments, you should know about the laws. It is not always possible to do that. You can go to a media lawyer.

Flurry of sightings of tropical swallowtail moth in Singapore
Nearly 800 sightings of tropical swallowtail moth reported online
Published on May 22, 2014 9:09 AM
Large, dark-coloured moths some nearly the size of a human hand have been spotted all over Singapore in recent weeks, drawing curious onlookers from Raffles Place to Woodlands.
Since the middle of last month, nearly 800 sightings of the Lyssa zampa, or tropical swallowtail moth, have been reported online, said National University of Singapore ecologist N. Sivasothi, who is recording sightings on the NUS Habitat News website.
They have been seen at many places, including office buildings, HDB corridors, schools and parks.
The moth is present here year-round, but is more commonly seen between May and August. Ecologists say the last major flurry of sightings was in 2005, with minor spikes every year or so since.

Are threats to journalistic freedom internal, external or both? Do journalists impose restrictions on themselves?
Journalism is a public good. Once you accept that premise, the two questions posed above fall into frames that point to individual and collective responsibility. Journalism is a skill and like in all skills, some people are more disciplined and rigorous than others. Being able to put pen to paper is a privilege, not a right. It is a privilege that has to be earned every day.
There is a raging national debate about the media most of which is noise intended to take attention away from real issues, which, to my mind, are three. They are — the journalist, the owner and the public responsibility of both to report, debate, inform and in some cases, instruct. I see a spectacular blurring of lines and a real and prepared confusion of interests. Failure to introspect will always lead first to a false ballooning of space with all the trappings of fake fame and outrage followed by a sudden collapse as the bubble bursts. The foundation was false — how can the edifice be strong?
When a journalist is a reporter and not an owner, the internal threats to freedom are perennial. When a reporter is part owner-part reporter, the conversation is layered and the quest for journalistic excellence can be cleverly nuanced as external threat. That can lead to false conversations and fake pursuits. The other external threats in India — official secrecy, 66A etc — does not keep me awake. Technology is a tool — cuts both ways. I have faith in the stamina and capacity of Indian journalists to fight back.
When The Hindu abruptly pulled itself out of the Bofors investigation due to an internal family tussle, as a reporter I was left with no option but to move on. The decade-long investigation and court proceedings in Sweden, Switzerland and India (1987-1997) were not linked to a newspaper's boardroom.
When Indira Gandhi imposed Emergency (1975) a handful of people including the late Ramnath Goenka of the Indian Express fought back. When Rajiv Gandhi attempted a backdoor entry to the 1989 defamation bill to gag the press in the face of mounting Bofors' evidence and other issues, the press hit back.
I am happy to report that the more it changes, the more it remains the same. Journalists who raise the spectre of the Emergency are responding to private ghosts and fears. The fear of the unknown is what brought us out of caves. The fear of the known is what will keep us in.

I'm self taught at knitting, crocheting, and sewing. I'm knitting my very first sweater (set-in sleeve) for my husband. He's very picky and won't wear it if it doesn't look good. I watch Knitting Daily religiously and I can't remember if the series has shown us how to measure the armhole properly. 1) Do I bend the measuring tape/ruler in the curve of the underarm from the top of the upper back to the underarm, 2) fold the upper back down to the underarm point and measure from the middle of the back of garment top of fold DOWN to the top of the folded upper back point? I'm not sure if I'm making any sense of this but I have "tinked" each piece (arms, back, front, etc.) so many times that I just want to get something right on this sweater the first time around. HELP! I would be very grateful to have someone just tell me what to do to get this sweater done by measuring the armhole right. Thank you, Debbie of Salt Lake City
P.S. Where do I find blocking mats/wires? I can't seem to find these items anywhere. Am I even using the right names of these items?
Don't bend the tape around the armhole. I think the second choice is the right one, if I understand correctly. What I do is to mark the row with the first armhole bind off, at a place somewhere near the center of the back (at least somewhere away from the armhole decreases) and on later rows, measure from there up to the working needle. You could also measure this distance on a similar sweater that your husband likes to wear instead of just relying on the pattern instructions.
Knit Picks has blocking mats and, perhaps, wires..

I understand. The sexual frustrations, afraid he might be losing interest and the lack of satisfying orgasms can really get to your head. Kegels aren't working much, creams and gels cant reach deep and surgery is way too expensive and scary. The truth is kegel exercises and topical treatments are just not enough to tighten the vagina.
Why? Because typical vaginal relaxation is much harder to overcome than with just a few exercises or trying to spread a cream inside.
In time we all unnecessarily suffer from vaginal relaxation due to age or giving child birth(s). Vaginal Relaxation is the weakening of the supporting muscles inside the vagina. Left untreated, it only gets worse, leaving you desperate for a satisfying sex life.
If you can relate, don't despair.
In my determination to restore my sexuality, I formulated Vagifirm- an all natural supplement that focuses on the root of the problem on why your vaginal muscles are losing strength and tone in the first place. This is not meant to be a temporary quick fix it trick. Vagifirm™ is scientifically proven to eliminate vaginal-loosening problems and effortlessly strengthen the vaginal muscle walls.
Vagifirm™ is an all natural herbal that provides you with ingredients your body needs for strengthening vaginal muscles and cleansing. The ingredients have been used in Asia for centuries and are still widely used today for vaginal tightening, increased libido and overall health benefits.
Vagifirm™ is safe. Why? Vagifirm's™ ingredients have a long history of usage and is completely organic. Vagifirm™ is also made in the U.S., which means our ingredients go through the toughest FDA regulations possible. And unlike many other vaginal tightening products, we don't use Manjakani (aka Oak Gall), which Wikipedia publishes has no history for vaginal tightening and contains gallic acid, which is historically used to make ink.
Vagifirm™ benefits:
Take Vagifirm™ orally once a day.
Stay consistent, take Vagifirm™ everyday.
Continue to run on Vagifirm™ to get to the results you want until you are satisfied.
Most of our users report noticeable results in the first month and find 3 months to be the most satisfactory point. It is not a magic pill, it is not intended to be a temporary inflammation of the vagina. It is meant for permanent recovery and needs time to take effect and become permanent. Ideally you should have it for at least 4-6 months.
Results improve with time. You may stop taking it once you are happy with the results.
Vagifirm claims this is NOT a miracle pill but I say it is. After having three children my pelvic floor muscles became so weak my husband and I could barely feel anything during sex. We've tried everything…. I am forever grateful I found these. These work!! I am living proof!!
I wasn't able to feel him and I haven't had an orgasm in years! I've decided to try Vagifirm because of all the wonderful reviews I read about it and all the ingredients are natural. Vagifirm affected my sex life in the most incredible way possible, Im no long insecure about sex and the feeling of an orgasm again… I've also notice a slight fullness in my breast! SWEET!!
I recommend to all, and how could you not give it a try, their guarantee and return policy leaves you in a win win situation.
As suggested by a doctor, I got this product for my sister.
I've been looking for a natural way to tighten my vagina after I had my son 4 years ago. I tried several products but none of them worked for me. As I read your product and studied the ingredients and tried it. I'm so glad I found you off the internet, it worked for me! Thank you!
I was tired of doing kegels and not getting anywhere, your product finally made all the difference.
I never thought something other then surgery would work, but this really saved me a lot of money and pain!
I looked all around, can't believe this actually works!
First off Im suprised this existed and honestly Im suprised it worked. I thought all these herbs were garbage.
I don't know who's more satisfied with this product, my husband or me! hahaa
After 10 years and 3 children, things had changed dramatically for me. I did not feel the same sensation while having sexual intercourse. Using Vagifirm was the best decision I've made regarding my health. I'm confident. My sex life is better.
Vagifirm has changed my life. I have been waiting for a product like this for a long time.
Your investment is 100% secure. Try out Vagifirm™ with zero risk on your part. We provide you with the finest natural vaginal tightening herbal supplements on the market. We're backing it up with a 1 year money back guarantee. If for whatever reason your not happy while using it or even after your done with it all, send it back for a full and prompt refund.

Simon wrote about the work he supports at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he and colleagues take a summary look at the energy flow of the nation from the point of generation to the point of consumption. The resources used to create energy, the type of energy created and where the energy goes are broken into categories.

What You Can Expect
Customer Reviews
July 2014
The "independent" component of the day trip really gave us the freedom to explore places we wanted to explore more in detail. This allowed us enough time in Grindelwald to ride the gondola up Mt. First and hike partially down, seeing the cows with bells, little streams, mountain flowers and so forth.
October 2014
Beautiful area, but I recommend going all the way to the mountain. Worth the extra money we paid directly to the tour company.

GMAC Will Get More Bailout MoneyWritten by Charles Scaliger
GMAC Financial Services, the former financial arm of General Motors, is set to receive yet more federal bailout funds as the year draws to a close. According to a Reuters report, GMAC will get roughly $3.5 billion in additional federal government money to help cover losses on the mortgage market. Mortgage-related assets, considered the key to GMAC's return to profitability, comprise roughly a third of GMAC's total $178 billion balance sheet.
Little noticed (so far) by the American public, a Christmas Eve announcement by the Obama administration to expand the amount of bailout monies available to ailing mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is already stirring controversy among Capitol Hill lawmakers sick of fueling the bailout gravy train at the expense of an increasingly restive voter base.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced on December 21 that beginning this spring the federal government is going to impose hefty fines on airlines that keep passengers stranded on the tarmac without food, water, or letting them get off the plane. LaHood called this "President Obama's Passenger Bill of Rights."
Ford Motor Company disclosed on December 21 that it is offering to buy out 41,000 United Auto Workers (UAW) union members with early retirement deals as the company attempts to reduce payroll costs and return to profitability by 2011.

DA asks Wis. Supreme Court to reopen union lawsuit
MADISON, Wis. A prosecutor asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday to reopen his lawsuit challenging Gov. Scott Walker's contentious collective bargaining law, contending a justice who voted to dismiss the suit earlier this year got free legal help from the firm defending the law.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne argued in filings with the court that it should vacate its decision because Justice Michael Gableman never disclosed his arrangement with the Michael Best and Friedrich law firm. Wisconsin's ethics code prohibits state officials from accepting free gifts, and the judicial ethics code bars judges from accepting gifts from anyone likely to appear before them.
Ozanne asked the court to reinstate a circuit judge's earlier ruling declaring the law void and disqualify Gableman from participating in further proceedings if he won't recuse himself.
"Reasonable, well-informed people would reasonably question Justice Gableman's ability to be impartial under the facts presented here," he wrote. "Respectfully, any litigant in any case deserves to have his case heard by a judge who has not secretly received a valuable gift from the other side's lawyer."
Gableman's attorney, Viet Dinh, didn't immediately return a message late Friday afternoon. He told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this week that he doesn't believe the free legal services amounted to a gift. A message left at Michael Best and Friedrich's Madison office wasn't immediately returned.
Ozanne filed his lawsuit in March, alleging Republican lawmakers violated open meetings laws when they convened a committee to revise the collective bargaining measure without proper public notice. The meeting came during the height of massive around-the-clock protests at the state Capitol against the legislation, which eliminated most public workers' union rights. Walker, a Republican, said the legislation was needed to help local governments absorb deep cuts in state aid, but Democrats saw it as a blatant assault on unions, one of their key constituencies.
A Dane County judge declared the law void in May. But the state Supreme Court's conservative four-justice majority upheld the law in June, finding legislative rules trumped the open meetings law. The decision allowed the law to take effect.
Walker's spokesman, Cullen Werwie, issued a one-sentence response to Ozanne's action by email Friday, saying "we are confident the Supreme Court got it right the first time."
Michael Best and Friedrich helped the state Justice Department defend the law.
Gableman had hired the firm to defend him in a 2008 ethics case stemming from one of his campaign ads. The ad accused his opponent, then-incumbent Justice Louis Butler, of finding a loophole for a sex offender who went on to molest another child. The ad didn't mention that Butler failed to get the offender out of prison early and that the offender committed the new crime after he had served his sentence.
Word broke earlier this month that Gableman signed a contingency agreement with the law firm that called for him to pay attorneys' fees only if he prevailed in the case, a deal similar to promises personal injury lawyers make to clients not to collect payment unless they win.

CHARLOTTE, NC - SEPTEMBER 13: Head Coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Andy Reid, stands on the field during their NFL season opener against the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium on September 13, 2009 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)
Andy Reid is in the process of trying to rebuild the Kansas City Chiefs from the ground up. Reid needs a quarterback to make the process easier, and the Chiefs hold the #1 overall pick in the 2013 draft. Question will begin to arise in reference to who Reid and the Chiefs might select. There is no Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III in this draft, even though Geno Smith and Matt Barkley are both talented. Reid has been several times about a reuniting with possibly reuniting with Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. Vick is under contract with the Eagles and due $15.5 million this coming season. All signs point to Vick being released if he doesn't choose to take a pay cut. Would Reid have interest in Vick if he were available to lead the charge in Kansas City. Reid was on ESPN's Mike and Mike In The Morning, and via The Philadelphia Inquirer, danced around the question. Reid offered more than that. "Michael got hurt and then it allowed Nick [Foles] to play," Reid said on ESPN's Mike & Mike on Thursday. "That's why Nick had that opportunity. It wasn't because of Mike's play. "He's still property of the Eagles so I really can't get into all that but I love the kid. That's the main thing. Football player aside, this kid changed his life around and got himself back on track and he's got that big heart and he's a very kind person. He's been through a whole lot of things and people have a hard time believing some of the things that took place, but he's a good person." I really couldn't call it on this one. It would seem like a good fit, but you have to wonder if Reid would be interested in taking a fly on Vick after such a disastrous 2012. I wouldn't be shocked, he loves Vick, just not sure it can happen.

Activists Arrested At Protest Of Eugene Biomass Plant
By Rachael McDonald, Jes Burns
Three people were arrested at a protest Monday at the Seneca-Jones Biomass plant in north Eugene.
The state of Oregon recently finalized the sale of a nearly 800 acre tract of the Elliott State Forest called East Hakki Ridge to Seneca Jones.
Environmentalists with Earth First! and Cascadia Forest Defenders say the area is home to the federally protected marbled murrelet.
As for East Hakki Ridge, Payne says Seneca has "no immediate plans" and that it will be "managed" with its other 165,000 acres of tree farm.
Three protesters were arrested. One has been charged with burglary. All three face charges of criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. They were lodged at the Lane County Jail.

I understand there are hacks. The question (the way I read it) was whether MS would enable a Metro "off" switch to disable it. From everything I can tell, that would be a no.
As far as hacks are concerned, I agree with you. I see no reason to waste my time just to end with a hacked, potentially unstable Windows 7 SP2 with an upgraded task manager. If I wanted that, I would wait for the real deal---without the upgraded task manager.
Unless some major changes are put into effect that ease my concerns in how Metro makes things more difficult on the desktop, I will be officially skipping this version. I will go no further than purchasing a copy to run on a VM just for educational purposes. Then I can be prepared to rake in the dough when unwitting customers upgrade to this mess and wonder WTF they were thinking and call me for assistance

6 Ways to Prepare for the Coming Upswing
Cut costs strategically
You'll never be able to take advantage of the upswing if you don't survive the downturn. Instead of making across-the-board cuts, analyze costs carefully and reduce spending in ways that are unlikely to impair future growth. Be sure to put controls in place so spending stays in check after the rebound. Identifying excesses now will also help keep costs down as you move forward.

Walking is probably the most popular form of fitness. Schedule a regular time to walk. On the weekends, make time to get out and enjoy nature. Kentucky state parks and nature preserves are just some of the places we can go to see the state. Walking is good for your health – mind and body.
Penny Burns was trying to come up with something simple to serve at a recent Garden Club meeting that would be light and refreshing. She planned to have a fruit tray but wanted a lighter dip than her usual marshmallow and cream cheese. Her co-host, Cheryl Wantland, mentioned that she had heard of a lemonade dip made with yogurt.
Burns looked on the internet and found several recipes, including one that used Tang as the flavoring. The one she chose specified Crystal Lite, but she used Kroger brand lemonade.
The 2010 Health Fair and Readifest will be held at Spencer County High School this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., during which free school supplies and health screenings will be offered to the public.
Seventy different booths will be located in the hallways and gym of the high school. Registration will take place at the front door.
Any student enrolled in Spencer County Schools can come and receive free school supplies. Students, adults and senior citizens can also receive free health screenings and information.
I'm writing in response to the article by Amanda Van Benschoten last week and her concerns about Rand Paul, candidate for US Senate from Kentucky.
Amanda, your article titled "Paul must be mindful of Kentucky's needs" points out how completely out of touch you are about Kentucky's needs and indeed what the needs of an entire nation are.
"I thought it was Christmas in July," said Sheriff Steve Coulter as he looked back on the day last week when an anonymous Spencer County man walked in the Sheriff's Office and plopped down a blank check.
Two months prior, the mysterious giver and his wife had come to Coulter out of the blue – generously offering to help the community out financially in whatever area the sheriff decided money was most needed.
"I didn't know how to take it," said Sheriff Coulter. "I was excited and glad he was doing this."
I can still remember standing on the porch of Little Mount School, ringing the big brass school bell that meant recess was over. Usually, the teachers would ring the bell but sometimes a student would be selected to do the job. It was a real treat indeed.
It could be a big 2010 for the Spencer County Bears football team.
They've got a big, experienced offensive line. They've got a big-time prospect in senior running back Erico Smith. And they've got a schedule full of big schools that will provide some challenging competition to help prepare them for the postseason.
So do those things mean fans should have big expectations? Second year head coach Wes Napper thinks that's reasonable, especially since his own expectations are pretty high.
Reports by a Louisville media outlet of "a body found in Spencer County" may not be what it sounds like.
According to KSP spokesperson Trooper Ron Turley, the body in question is related to an on-going death investigation. Preliminary evidence shows that the death of the Spencer County male appears to be self-inflicted, but investigators are waiting on the medical examiner's review before releasing a final report.
Four more incumbents have filed to run again for their respective seats on the city commission, school board and soil conservation district. The deadline for submitting paperwork in local non-partisan races is August 10 at 4 p.m.
City Commissioners Beverly Bentley-Ingram and Kathy Spears will each be seeking another two-year term in office – joining the race against fellow incumbent John "Jack" Proctor, Fire Chief Nathan Nation and employment counselor Troy Klaber. Winners will be determined by the four highest vote-getters in November.

Top leaders of BJP-led NDA on Sunday chalked out the strategy for a nation-wide strike call on Monday against the government's "failure" to control price rise.
"This may be the first time in history of India's politics that almost all political parties will participate in the Bharat Bandh," NDA Working Chairperson L.K. Advani said after a meeting of the leaders.
He gave credit to NDA Convenor and JD(U) President Sharad Yadav for bringing together even the non-NDA political parties for the one-day strike. Though the Left parties have given a call for a 'Bharat Bandh' separately on Monday, RJD, SP, LJP and some smaller parties will not be a part of the strike.
Referring to an advertisement in newspapers by the Petroleum Ministry claiming that a strike would not bring down prices of petroleum products, Mr. Advani said, "Even we do not claim that prices will come down due to Bharat Bandh... Solution lies in the hands of the government. Unfortunately, there is no indication that the government has a solution."
He alleged that the government had become "insensitive" to the issue of price rise.
Mr. Advani maintained that though Congress-led UPA has been talking of espousing the cause of the common man since 2004, prices have been on the rise. "Despite so much increase in food prices, the government has increased the prices of petroleum products," he said.
He said price rise issue had figured prominently in the last few sessions of Parliament. It will figure again in the forthcoming monsoon session, he said.
Mr. Yadav claimed that Monday's agitation would be "extraordinary and unprecedented" as the people were "completely fed-up" with price rise.
The NDA leaders argued that whenever prices have been decontrolled the costs have gone up.
Mr. Yadav gave figures of prices of petrol in different countries to argue that its cost in India is very high. He argued that the cost of petrol was only Rs 16.50 but after several taxes it was being sold for Rs 53.05.
Emergency services will not be disrupted during the strike. Mr. Advani appealed to all NDA members participating in the strike to ensure that it is conducted peacefully.
NDA has made elaborate plans for Bharat Bandh. While BJP President Nitin Gadkari, Mr. Yadav and Shiromani Akali Dal MP Harsimrat Kaur will lead the strike at Chandni Chowk in Delhi, Leader of Opposition Sushma Swaraj will be in Bhopal and her counterpart in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley and party vice-president Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi will be in Lucknow.
Among other leaders, Venkaiah Naidu will be in Hyderabad, Ananth Kumar in Bangalore, Gopinath Munde in Mumbai and Vasundhara Raje in Jaipur, according to Mr. Naqvi.
He said the party leaders have been deputed to States to ensure success of the nation-wide bandh called against rise in prices and "arrogant attitude of the Central government."
All MPs and MLAs have been asked to hold protest demonstrations in their respective constituencies.
Keywords: Bharat Bandh, fuel price hike, inflation, NDA

The Federal Reserve's bond-buying has been like a nitrous boost for the high-performance vehicle that is emerging markets. Now it's time for investors to start thinking about what happens when the juice runs out.
When the Federal Open Market Committee minutes were released on Jan. 3, the Fed discussed the end of quantitative easing—and spooked the market. In the ensuing selloff, emerging-market investors got a preview of what might happen when the day comes for the Fed's bond-buying to end.
A lot has to go right for that to happen, of course. Economic growth in the U.S. will have to remain above 2%, while the unemployment rate continues ticking down toward the Fed's implied 6% target. And of course, the markets have to make it through the debt-ceiling déjà vu without too much disruption.
The end of quantitative easing will represent a seismic shift that will force investors to reconsider investments that have seemed like no-brainers since the end of the financial crisis—including the outperformance of emerging markets. "This is big," says Sebastien Galy, a currency strategist at Societe Generale, in New York. "It won't be such a clear bet that you should be in emerging markets."
That became obvious when the minutes were released: Emerging markets reacted immediately. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index EEM 0.3286384976525822% iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 42.74 0.14 0.3286384976525822% /Date(1432328400055-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 36996448 AFTER HOURS 42.71 -0.03 -0.07019185774450164% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 910597 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.5036078614880672% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (ticker: EEM) exchange-traded fund dropped 0.7% in the last two hours of trading, while the Market Vectors Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond EMLC -0.48971596474045054% Market Vectors Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 20.32 -0.1 -0.48971596474045054% /Date(1432328399255-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 215203 AFTER HOURS 20.42 0.1 0.4921259842519685% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 5.728346456692913% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (EMLC) shed 0.5%. The currencies of developing-world mainstays like Mexico, Turkey, and Russia fell as well.
That's because one of the big side-effects of the Fed's bond-buying has been to push investors into developing-market stocks and bonds. More than $65 billion went into emerging-market stocks since the Fed announced its third round of bond buying on Sept. 13. Those inflows are likely to dry up once the Fed's bond-buying stops—and could cause emerging markets to sell off.
BUT IT'S NOT ALL BAD NEWS, says Jeff Shen, head of Asia-Pacific and emerging markets in BlackRock's Scientific Active Equity group. The end of quantitative easing would mean that the Fed sees sustainable economic growth in the U.S.—and globally. But it will also force investors to be more selective because individual countries and their stocks will move based more on fundamentals, rather than the rush of easy money. "In an environment where money comes in easily, low quality rises as fast as high quality," Shen says. "But less money means it would be crucial to differentiate between winners and losers."
Shen says South Korea and Taiwan are positioned to do well in the current environment and in the post-QE world, because they are large exporting countries—which will benefit from more sustainable U.S. growth—that also have enough internal drivers to do just fine if such a situation doesn't materialize. Consider the iShares MSCI South Korea EWY 0.5036091992613732% iShares MSCI South Korea Capped ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 59.87 0.3 0.5036091992613732% /Date(1432328400171-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1705032 AFTER HOURS 59.76 -0.11 -0.18373141807249038% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 190111 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 2.215991314514782% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (EWY) and the iShares MSCI Taiwan EWT 0.18281535648994515% iShares MSCI Taiwan ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 16.44 0.03 0.18281535648994515% /Date(1432328400133-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5037634 AFTER HOURS 16.46 0.02 0.12165450121654502% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 706041 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.7713625304136253% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » (EWT) ETFs for exposure to those countries.
Still, don't lose too much sleep, says Steve Malin, director of research at Wealthstream Advisors and a former New York Fed employee. The minutes were the Fed's way of saying it sees a real possibility that the U.S. economy could be strong enough this year not to need the QE boost, he says. It doesn't mean that the Fed will be acting anytime soon. And when the Fed does act, it will communicate well ahead of time that a big change is coming. "They're putting it on the calendar for discussion," Malin says. Stay tuned.

"Aspie"-ness itself is no license, I agree. These peeps bring other skills to the table that make it worth tolerating their downsides. By all reports, Jobs was a narcissistic a-hole most of the time, but his eye for design and usability made him worthwhile. I got tired of working for/with people like that so I no longer do. I might have made one kernel contribution long ago, but no occasionto do Linux kernel work since then.
Kind of rare in LA too, and parts of the SF Bay Area.
Linus is Linus, just as RMS is RMS; you have to take them on their own terms or leave them alone. Me, I leave them alone.
If you want to play in their sandboxes, you have to deal with their quirks. Kinda like with Apple.
Welcome to Earth, here's your pitchfork.
The problem is the cost to defend it, for the 22-YO hacker.
As covered in comments above, Orbitz is owned by a consortium of airlines. So they are just doing the bidding of their reptilian corporate overlords. Hi, Bob.
What's Hebrew got to do with it? Wasn't the Revelation of St. John The Divine written in Greek, and used "Greek Numerals" (also a letter-based system)?
So, it's Los Angeles?
Kinda sounds more like Tokyo. You are in a maze of twisty little subway lines, all different.
Coming late to this party, I can only share this one datapoint: If I recollect right, it was the hardware on the Burroughs Large Systems that was memory-safe. Arrays were done as Segment Descriptors, and if you indexed outside the segment it raised an exception. Byte-addressed (for 6-bit, 8-bit, etc bytes) were done as "String Descriptors" that referred to the Segment Descriptor.
The only other hardware I know of that did this lately was the UCSB P-system; there may be others since then.
I was still working at Symbolics back then. We thought it a little silly that the input focus followed the mouse.
Now I sort of prefer it that way...
"Needs fixed" etc. is a regionalism, mostly in the "German Belt" from Eastern Penna. thru Southern Michigan. At least that's what I recall from Grammar Girl's survey a while back.
You mean he wasn't really angry, or he wasn't really crazy?

← Insects are scared to death of fish
Jump to comment 22 by Itseasyifyoutry
Comment 5 by davidpercival :
As the insects were not harmed themselves and didn't see any of the others harmed, they must be born with the fear of fish. It is already known that certain new born geese can identify the shadow of a predator bird from that of a harmless type. Does this not imply that there is such a thing as "memories" which are inherited within a species by some means we are unaware of that are much more nuanced than simple instinct? It seems far fetched that there are genes that "know" the threat posed by other creatures.
The occipital lobe is part of the cerebral cortex. Something like a visually triggered reaction to the complex image of say a common predator's shadow or sharp teeth might indicate the potential for a kind of inherited conscious visual memory. One of the cardinal evolutionary purposes of the cerebral cortex was to store extragenetic information gained following birth and passed on to the next generation during the course of a human life. However, there are clearly other prewired complex functions of consciousness which we are born with. It's a very interesting subject.
